"Pause! Time out!! ”

Gu Yu's unbelievable negative angle golden rooster hit independently, which made the entire Staples Arena fall into a deathly silence.

Only there was jubilation on the king's bench, and little Thomas imitated Gu Yu's movements for a while, and his feet were about to be unstable, which caused a burst of laughter from the players.

Rivers was so angry that he immediately called a timeout.

Gu Yu's goal is not just as simple as two points, but also a mockery, a contempt, and a contempt that does not take the Clippers' defense in his eyes from beginning to end.

Whatever you want, whatever you want to trap me in a corner, as long as I can find a little room to attack.

You're done.

This is the signal transmitted by Gu Yu.

“JJ！！！！”

As soon as the Clippers players returned to the bench, before they could sit down, Rivers yelled angrily, so frightened that the players were stunned and didn't dare to wipe their sweat.

"If you don't want to play, just get me down, if you don't want to play, just sit on the bench and sit until the end of this life, understand???" Rivers was furious at Redick's performance, glaring, poking Redick's head with his fingers, gritting his teeth and saying, "I don't blame you for not being able to defend against it, but you can let your cousin shoot that kind of ball just now??" Won't it be a foul?? Won't it pull down? Yes?!! ”

This......

Of course, the players know that what Rivers said is right, and that kind of ball Gu Yu is indeed likely to throw. From the perspective of morale, it is better for Redick to foul a foul than to let Gu Yu hit such a terrifying goal.

If Reddick could control it a little better, without fouling, he used some small actions such as pulling clothes to force Gu Yu to lose his balance and fail to hit, then of course it would be better.

But......

"I ...... I know, coach, but ......"

"But what ???" Rivers is aggressive.

"But the referees were already staring at me, from the first quarter." Redick said weakly: "I move a little bigger, and it's easy for him to blow a foul." If I get whistled for another foul, I'll already have five fouls, and I'll be sent off if I'm not careful......"

"You were sent off? Haha, is it important? Rivers was really angry, and said mercilessly: "How many points did you score today?" How many points did my cousin get? Well?? I'm embarrassed to stay on the field, you're already thick-skinned! What if the game is played like this, what if you just make a lot of mistakes? It's good for us, you know??! ”

This...... It's a bit too much, right??

The players certainly know that Rivers, as a black man, must have been a little unhappy with Redick's previous remarks. Redick did play badly today, shooting 1 of 11 so far, with a miserable shooting percentage. All 7 shots outside the three-point line were iron, and three were blocked, two of which were pressed down by Gu Yu face-to-face, and the picture was not suitable for a child.

Redick, who only scored 2 points, is of course not on the same level as Gu Yu, who has already scored 38 points, and it is also an indisputable fact that there is no scum left that has been exploded in both offense and defense.

But Redick didn't do nothing, but as a shooter, he restrained part of Gu Yu's defensive energy, so that Paul didn't have to face Gu Yu's terrifying single defense, and had a certain amount of room to play.

And as long as Paul gets played, the Clippers' offense has a foundation. The Kings' offense has exploded like this, and it is not easy for the Clippers to maintain a point difference of less than 15 points.

As the coach, Redick will be blown up by Gu Yu, and Rivers should know it. Now because of a round of defensive problems, it is really unreasonable to spray Redick like this.

But this unhappy thought only existed in the minds of the Clippers players for about a second.

Then, they remembered the word Redick had said earlier, and they didn't want to say anything for Redick anymore.

"Brothers, I ......" Redick was isolated and wanted to let his teammates support him, but when he looked back, he found that everyone turned back and didn't look at him, drinking drinks, wiping sweat, and even some people turned around to sign autographs for the fans behind him, but no one paid attention to him.

"Chris......!" In desperation, Redick thought of Paul, of Paul, who was both friends and enemies with him, and of the big brother who was willing to take him to the All-Star Game post-dinner party.

“…… For a while, the inner line still has to play resolutely, and don't be caught by them anymore. If the bag clips up, remember to throw the arc top directly. You don't have to look at where I am, as long as you throw the ball to the top of the arc, I'll take it. ”

Paul, however, didn't look at Redick, pretending not to hear the latter's call, and Gu Zi and Griffin talked about tactical details.

Despair.

Sitting on the bench, on your home turf, surrounded by your teammates, facing your coach.

JJ Reddick, however, felt endless despair.

"Substitution!"

No longer expecting Redick's answer, Rivers was furious and waved his hand directly to make rotation adjustments.

“…… Yes? Redick was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at the coach.

Substitution?

The last and most critical moment, the substitution?

Replace who?!

According to the regular rotation, there are times when the Clippers do make last-minute substitutions.

Most of the time, in order to maintain the defensive intensity on the court, the Clippers will put Barnes on the court at the last moment, and Redick is also there, which means that the starting lineup will play to the end.

And in some special circumstances, such as the team falling behind a lot, or the offensive firepower of both sides is fierce, or Paul, Griffin and others have a bad hand and need one more scoring point. Rivers will also replace Barnes with Super Sixth Man Crawford.

In today's situation, Crawford seems to be the right choice.

With Crawford, the Clippers' lineup will become Paul, Redick, Crawford, Griffin, Jordan Jr.

This lineup is a little weaker on the defensive end, but the offensive end is very tigery, four of the five have medium and long-range shooting, and three have the ability to hold the ball one-on-one to create opportunities to attack the basket directly. The presence of Jordan Jr. can also allow the team to have rebounds.

All this was fine, and what surprised and puzzled Reddick was:

This substitution, why announce it loudly after scolding me??

Could it be ......

"JJ, Jamal! You're on! ”

Rivers' last sentence directly pushed Reddick into the abyss of despair.

By...... Has the tactics given up?

Redick could even imagine how the Los Angeles media, who like to fan the flames, would interpret the substitution after the game.

As the team's top scorer, the best person to open up the space that is most needed in the chase stage.

Redick, abandoned by Rivers.

"Let's fight like this!"

After announcing the substitution, Crawford stood up and began to stretch and warm up.

Rivers angrily picked up the tactical board and began to lay out the follow-up tactical arrangements.

In the stadium, Clippers fans also woke up and began to cheer for the home team, hoping that the home team could win and advance to the coveted Western Conference Finals.

Not to mention the Kings, although the 14-point lead looks good, the Clippers' ability to chase points is extremely strong, and it is not time to relax. Phil Jackson was holding the tactical board to teach him the opportunity, Gu Yu and the others listened attentively, nodding from time to time.

All.

Everything in the stadium is in full swing, and everyone is busy, fighting for their dreams.

Only Reddick, like falling into an ice cellar, bowed his head and remained silent.

After the suspension ends.

"Yo, the Clippers have changed!"

The Clippers' substitution caused a lot of shock in the audience, and even Kefan exclaimed.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising at all.

"Hmm...... It's also the right choice. After thinking about it, Cofan analyzed: "The Clippers need Barnes' defense, although it may not be useful, but it is more effective than using Crawford to defend his cousin." On the other hand, the Clippers also need to step up their offense. With Redick's state today, it's really better to play than not to play. Crawford......"

Looking up at the scoreboard, Kefan felt a sigh in his heart.

Jamal Crawford, who played 27 minutes, scored 26 points on 9-of-14 shooting, 4-of-5 from beyond the three-point line and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line.

It's almost a minute-by-minute efficiency, which is the same as Gu Yu's efficiency today.

It seems that today, Crawford, the super sixth man, is hot!

"The game continues!"

The game continued, and as soon as the Clippers kicked off, they began to play Crawford's tactical run.

Covering in succession of high and low positions, Paul dribbled to the left side, waited a little, flicked his wrist, and sent the ball out.

"It's coming! Crawford is here!! Cofan exclaimed, and Crawford cut to the free-throw line and received the ball steadily.

Then, there is the iconic dazzling, performance moment.

"Bang bang!"

is completely different from Paul's calm and spiritual dribbling, Crawford's dribbling is the same as Evans, with the wild and uninhibited attitude of Gu Yu when he dribbles, every action is full of imagination, there is no script at all, and it is all improvised.

And his slender body, with the appearance of a basketball flying up and down, is a little bit of the dark touch of emaciated death about to harvest life, which makes people chill from the bottom of their hearts.

BEASLEY WAS LIKE A MARIONETTE IN FRONT OF CRAWFORD, DRIBBLING WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND TURNING THE CROSSOVER BEHIND HIS BACK, BREAKING THROUGH THE FEINT ON HIS RIGHT SIDE AFTER SHAKING HIS SHOULDERS AND CONNECTING TO A GORGEOUS WALTZ TURN.

Beasley was still stunned and didn't come back to his senses, Crawford, had already broken through.

"Whew......!"

Before Gu Yu's defense was in place, Crawford made an unreasonable stop-and-throw throw, and the basketball almost flew out grazing Gu Yu's fingertips.

"Huh!"

Hit!

"I didn't expect that."

Standing still, Crawford smiled, looked at Gu Yu a little unhappy, and the corners of his mouth rose: "In the end, it will be the two of us who will decide the victory, I didn't expect it." ”

"You're going to lose, you arrogant gentleman." Gu Yu's trash talk is called a 6.

"Hehe, it's hard to say." Crawford smiled and shook his head, "The last time I had the feel I had today, I scored 50 points. ”

With that, Crawford turned and left.

The Los Angeles Clippers, the final run, begins.
