Chapter 204: Regular Season Opener

For the Clippers, the bench has always been their dead end, and last season, except for Jamal Crawford, who was re-elected as the league's best sixth man for his superior individual scoring ability, the others were arguably unsuccessful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite the signing of veterans such as Paul Pearce, their condition is not ideal due to the factor of age and run-in, the Clippers can be said to have experienced a failed season, and head coach Rivers has also been controversial by fans.

This season, the Clippers signed Speights, who has championship experience, and Felton, a veteran who has been in good shape, and Rivers has also improved more or less by his own son Rivers Jr., and the Clippers' bench lineup has played well in the preseason.

Even Paul and Griffin, who have always been dissatisfied with the team's performance, are in contract year, and even if they don't consider the team's factors, they will work harder for their next contract.

In this game, Parker, the French sports car, drove into the repair shop again, so Mills naturally became the starter again, and Thunderwater knew very well the task of this game, which was to defend the league's best sixth man: Crawford.

Since it was the opening game, the home stadium was much more gorgeous in creating an atmosphere, and the fans were also very excited.

Domestic CCTV and Penguin Live also attach great importance to this game, after all, there are matches with Chinese players, and there will be higher ratings.

The Spurs players naturally knew that there would be a lot of attention from China, so at the appearance ceremony, Lei Shui was deliberately ranked first.

When Lei Shui stood in the player tunnel and waited for the debut, the Spurs players behind him began to snicker, muttering something quietly, Lei Shui didn't care, just waited for the DJ to shout, and Gasol behind him poked Lei Shui's back through someone: "GO!" Lei Shui raised his hand to greet the audience and trotted into the venue.

When Lei Shui stood still, the audience burst into laughter, Lei Shui didn't know why, so he turned around and tried to ask his teammates, and when he turned around, he found that the whole Spurs team rushed out by themselves, and everyone else was standing at the entrance of the passage and watching Lei Shui's joke together.

Lei Shui knew that he had been fooled and was tricked by his teammates, Lei Shui had to smile embarrassedly, and ran back upside down, at this time the DJ shouted again: "Please!" Spurs played!! ”

Lei Shui, who hadn't run back yet, had to turn back immediately, and while running, he looked back from time to time to see if anyone else had followed, and the funny appearance provoked the audience to laugh again, and in the face of this kind of kind joke, Lei Shui himself was also happy.

When Lei Shui ran to the center of the arena and stood still, the lights hit Lei Shui, and the DJ shouted: "From China, Lei Shui!" Then, following the lights, the DJ called out the names of the players one by one.

After a series of procedures, the competition officially begins.

Clippers starters: center Jordan Jr., power forward Griffin, small forward Bamot, point guard Redick, point guard Paul.

Spurs starters: center Gasol, power forward Ade, small forward Anderson, point guard Kawhi Leonard, point guard Mills.

The Clippers have a big advantage on the alignment, and they are excellent on both ends of the floor.

The jump ball was naturally Jordan Jr. who got the first wave of offensive rights with the advantage of bounce, Griffin came up and took advantage of the opposition with Ade, made a three-point shot, failed to shoot, and in turn, Gasol hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Subsequently, Jordan Jr. got the ball in a good position under the basket, but after all, the work in his hands was a little rougher, Gasol only raised his hands high, and let him shoot a bridge, Leonard dribbled quickly, took advantage of the misplaced opportunity, slammed the basket, and completed the dunk.

The Clippers urgently needed to open up the situation, Bamot was capped inside, Mills quickly went to the baseline, slipped a U-shape under the basket, and returned the ball to Ade, who hit a three-point shot again with a big gap in the three-point line.

8-0 in the opening game, Rivers couldn't sit still and immediately took a timeout to adjust.

After the adjustment, the Spurs couldn't find their crosshairs and repeatedly missed shots, while the Clippers, under Paul's command, scored five points under two sneak baskets.

After Leonard responded with a mid-range shot, the Clippers responded with a 13-0 surge to make the score 18-10 in one fell swoop.

Old man Bobo also paused to adjust and clarify the focus on the defensive end, but as soon as he came back, the Spurs missed the attack, and the Clippers immediately quickly counterattacked and scored an easy layup.

As soon as the old man Bobo sat on the bench, he immediately stood up again, asked for a timeout again, and replaced Ginobili and Lei Shui on the court, one is to use Ginobili's experience, and the other is to hope that Lei Shui can improve the speed of retreat.

And Rivers also brought on Crawford to add to the attacking point.

Lei Shui faced Crawford this time, but Crawford was not in a hurry to attack, but kept wandering around the field, Lei Shui had to follow closely, because the old man Bobo confessed that at any time, he could not give him a trace of space.

The Clippers used Crawford's strong scoring deterrent to involve the Spurs' defense a lot, Paul and Jordan Jr. continued to block and dismantle in the middle, creating small opportunities for Paul, Paul broke through Gasol and split the ball, assisted Griffin and Redick to score in a row, and another wave of 10-2 climax stunned the Spurs.

The angry old man Bobo went up and down three times directly, and the twin towers and Leonard were replaced by Dedmon, David Lee and Simmons, and the three of them were pointed at their noses by the old man Bobo and sprayed angrily before they sat down.

Lei Shui glanced at it and thought: Fortunately, Crawford didn't get any points from my defense, otherwise Old Man Bobo wouldn't have drowned me with saliva.

As a result, the people replaced by the old man Bobo were not in shape, and they hit the iron one after another, and the old man Bobo finally directly even got Murray and Forbes to play, but they failed to alleviate the scoring drought, and Rivers saw the Spurs' lineup, and immediately replaced his own son to brush up the data.

Seeing this, Lei Shui thought: I can't make it, so what else is there to scruple about, I'll try two too.

When the ball turned to his own, Crawford defended himself, Crawford didn't know much about Lei Shui, the advice given by the coaching staff before the game was to prevent a breakthrough, and then he took two steps to leave a distance of one meter to Lei Shui, Lei Shui saw this and pulled up and shot, facing a three-point shot, and finally broke the scoring drought, which was also the first goal in Lei Shui's official game.

And after Thunder Water hit this ball, the others seemed to wake up, Ginobili first broke through to score in a row, although the offense was opened, but the defense still couldn't keep up, until the end of the first quarter, the Spurs trailed the Clippers by 15 points.

For such a situation on the field, the old man Bobo was silent with a blue face, and it was estimated that there was a fire in his heart, if anyone made a mistake first, he would definitely be scolded.

For the anticlimactic performance in the first quarter, the punishment given by the old man Bobo was to press all the main players except Leonard on the bench and use Leonard plus four substitutes to play the beginning of the second quarter.

At this time, it was time for the team's top card, Leonard played a back-to-back single, but his hand was cold and he shot 0 of 3, but Griffin took advantage of David Lee and directly crushed 3 shots and 2 shots to widen the difference.

At this time, the old man Bobo signaled to Lei Shui to play, and the Clippers' lineup was replaced by Bamot to mark the lightning water, both of them didn't know the opponent, but Lei Shui was more dominant, after all, Bamot had been in the NBA for 6 or 7 years, and he only got a salary of more than 2 million, which was definitely not much better, and the Clippers had no extra money to make a fuss about the position of the forward.

Lei Shui feints to attract Bamot to step forward to defend, and then use his speed to pass Bamot in one step, and make a quick stop jump shot, but unfortunately he brushes out of the basket, Rivers Jr. takes the ball and quickly rushes forward to play a quick counterattack, although Leonard has no offensive feel, but the defense is not ambiguous, and he chases the big hat Rivers Jr. behind him.

Simmons grabbed the ball and quickly counterattacked, but unfortunately faced Jordan Jr., after jumping, he found that he couldn't shake off Jordan Jr.'s control, and immediately turned in the air to pass the ball to Ginobili, Ginobili single-handedly gave the ball to Lei Shui, who was unguarded at a 45-degree angle, and Lei Shui immediately shot three points and hit!
