Chapter 173: A new look for the Suns

American Airlines Arena, this is the first round of the playoffs, the fourth game of the Clippers vs. the Suns, before that, the two sides played three games, and the Clippers took a 2-1 lead.

After the first three games, the score of the two sides is 2:1, and the fourth game is very crucial, if the Clippers win again, then it will be difficult for the Suns to turn the tables, after all, the NBA has been established for so many years, and only 8 teams in the playoffs have turned the tables after falling behind 3:1. The eight teams are: Celtics 1968, Lakers 1970, Washington Bullets 1979, Celtics 1981, Rockets 1995, Heat 1997, Pistons 2003, and Suns 2006.

So many Clippers fans are very worried about this, because the Suns will definitely not let the Clippers get the match point so easily, and this game will definitely be a game where Mars hits Earth.

And what worries fans even more is that the strength of the Suns is seriously underestimated by the media! In the three games, the Clippers didn't win it easily, especially in the third game, Li Mojie's last three-point shot shocked countless Clippers fans in a cold sweat.

The worries of Clippers fans soon became a reality, after the start of the fourth game, the Suns' defense became tighter, this group of young people simply didn't know what it meant to be tired, the speed of changing defenses was fast, and the core of the team, Li Mojie, led by example, grasping offense and defense, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, not at all like a complacent champion show. (Don't think it's easy, you look at the Timberwolves' two champions, Towns, Wiggins, defense?) It's good for Butler to do it, how can we do the work of a blue-collar worker? )

What worries the Clippers even more is that Bledsoe has returned from injury, and Clippers fans are very impressed by this "blood cloth" who has worked hard in the Clippers for three years.

But they forgot about several famous groups in the NBA: the Suns miracle doctor who is as famous as the Portland veterinarian, but has the opposite effect!

This class of miracle doctors said that Bledsoe can play, then Bledsoe's body must meet the requirements of the NBA's fierce confrontation, as for the psychological aspect, Bledsoe didn't think so much, he just thought that this year is his contract year, but the number of appearances and the overall performance are not worth a big contract from the team, especially when Li Mojie is in the team, so he still needs to do more!

As a result, the Suns have defensive giants like Bledsoe and Middleton in the lineup, coupled with the team's overall age tending to be younger, the team is actively changing defenses, and the overall defensive rotation is excellent.

After all, Paul is not a great killer, he is more of a court commander, and it is not easy to score under the basket with such defensive intensity, which puts more pressure on Griffin! He needs more to step up and score!

"Maurice, show him and don't let him break through you!" So Lao Huo stared at this Griffin throughout the game, as for Paul? Paul up, Bledsoe up, Paul down, Bledsoe down! Not a minute!

At 21:18, the Clippers fell into passivity from the start of the game, and now they are still trailing by 3 points, and this is because Redick just shot a three-pointer from the outside, and before, the difference between the two teams was 6 points.

At this point, the offense belongs to the Suns.

Bledsoe has just returned from injury at this time, and he doesn't want to prove his worth by beating Paul through singles and organization at this time, which is not his strength, on the contrary, he does so, so the Suns are unwilling to give him a high salary, because the Suns have established the core ball holding point of the starting lineup early - Li Mojie, what do you say you want to do with the ball? Go play second team, like Ramon Sessions.

So on the field, after Bledsoe controlled the ball for half of the court, the ball was immediately handed over to Li Mojie.

After Bledsoe's comeback, even if there are two players who can control the ball on the court, Li Mojie and Bledsoe, the task of organizing the attack still belongs to Li Mojie. Because Bledsoe is very pressing, he is good to be the second leader of the Suns, as for the big leader? Li Mojie is less than 20 years old, talented, strong, self-disciplined, and extremely high commercial value, the Suns boss has wooed Li Mojie three times and twice, and called him the son of the Suns, the hero of Phoenix, the hope of the future, can bring the first championship in team history to the Suns, do you want to compete with him for team status? He's afraid he's been on the Suns enough and wants to get out of here!

At this time, Lee Mojie was opposite Danny Granger, and Barnes was replaced.

Although Danny Granger is not as good as before because of the impact of injuries, but after all, as the old saying goes, there are still three pounds of nails in a rotten ship, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and there is no general Liao Hua in Shu as a pioneer, uh, but Rivers is also bitter in his heart, and he can't turn into small forwards like Batum and Ariza in his hands now, so make do with it!

And Li Mojie smiled slightly when he saw his old acquaintance, Barnes, Granger, and finally Griffin, the Clippers will only send these three, Li Mojie has already thought clearly before the game, how to beat him in his heart!

Then he didn't panic, and after dribbling to the half, with the help of Markieff's block, Granger, who had suffered countless knee injuries, could not keep up, and Li Mojie rushed directly to the basket with the ball.

"Don't think about it!" Li Mojie was the focus of Rivers' advice before the game, and as soon as he broke through, the Clippers immediately contracted their defense!

Li Mojie's breakthrough successfully attracted the Clippers' defense, Griffin pounced fiercely, and so did Jordan Jr., Li Mojie saw that there was no chance, and the ball was immediately thrown into the hands of Frye, who was pocketed to the right wing.

After receiving Li Mojie's pass, Frye did not shoot immediately, because he found that Li Mojie ran quickly after passing the ball, and Griffin did not react to follow in time.

Lee ran out to the left three-point line, and Fry immediately passed the ball back, and by this time, Griffin was a meter away from Lee Mojie.

Of course, Li Mojie will not let go of such a good opportunity, and after receiving the ball, he shot directly outside the three-point line and hit the basket!

At 24:18, the margin that had just been narrowed returned to 6 points again.

"Well done, Suns conduction!" Teacher Yang Yi stroked his palm and smiled.

In the next round, the Clippers' ball was undoubtedly in Paul's hands, and Bledsoe bent down to stop Paul, and he did not let his guard down because Paul's previous offensive efficiency was not high, after all, they were teammates who knew each other well.

Moreover, Paul can shoot and pass, which is the most difficult type of player to defend!

Bledsoe's vigilance was not unreasonable, Paul and Jordan Jr. came to the three-point line with the ball after blocking and dismantling, and directly pulled up the shot to shoot.

At this time, Bledsoe didn't have time to think about whether Paul's shot was wise, and after seeing Paul jump to defend, Bledsoe quickly jumped up to interfere.

"Bang!" Bledsoe's interference did work, and Paul didn't feel good today, the ball bounced off the basket and was picked up by Markieff Morris.

The Clippers did not play a counterattack, and Li Mojie had a lot of counterattacks in the first three games, so Granger also paid attention to Li Mojie's counterattack, and after the shot missed, Granger directly pasted Li Mojie, for fear that Li Mojie would change direction after receiving Markieff's pass and make him clean up.

Bledsoe dribbled the ball to the half-court, and the ball was handed over to Li Mojie again, and Li Mojie, who received the ball, opened his hand to shoot.

Li Mojie This is just a shooting feint, but this feint is so realistic that Danny Granger immediately raised his center of gravity to jump up and defend.

"Fake cast is really sudden!" Teacher Zhang Li shouted.

And seizing this opportunity, Li Mojie dribbled the ball and rushed directly to the basket.

Danny Granger's defense had been completely broken through by this time, and seeing this, Griffin immediately abandoned Markieff and stepped forward to make up for it.

However, Markieff apparently listened to Hornacek's pre-game tactics and didn't wait stupidly, and he quickly rushed to the basket after Griffin left.

How could the new magician Mojie Lee not spot Markieff's run? A high ball was passed over to Markieff in time.

Markieff took a step forward and jumped back, caught the ball and dunked easily, and scored two points. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
