Chapter 311: Break up directly

"After Little Jordan, Griffin was also miserably detained!"

"Oh my God! Chen Zhi's nickname should not be called a bomber, a person who turned the Clippers' inside bomber on his back is a completely unstoppable attitude, and I have never seen such a violent picture when I watched James play! ”

"There should be no suspense about Chen to the first dunk of the alliance! I feel that these two dunks may be selected as one of the top ten dunks of the year! ”

After seeing Chen Zhi overturn Griffin, the sports commentators praised Chen Zhi in the commentary room.

However, they soon found that they were too good to praise Chen Zhi, because Chen Zhi seemed to have committed a crime!

Griffin was still lying on the ground, his expression a little pained! Oops, it won't hurt! ”

"I only saw him grabbing his right hand, he should have been injured when he landed just now!"

"Chen Zhi's dunk just now is really violent, if Griffin is injured, it is estimated that Chen will pay more attention to his dunk in the future, so as not to hurt other people again."

The game was suspended due to an unexpected injury, and the Clippers team doctor rushed onto the court, knelt down beside Griffin, and whispered about the situation, Griffin gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his hand, shaking his head.

It took a while for Griffin to get up from the ground, his left hand still holding his right hand, and returned from the players' tunnel to the locker room for further examination, accompanied by the team doctor.

"Hopefully the hand injury won't affect Griffin's game! But I see that he is holding his right hand, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic, everyone knows that Griffin had a ridiculous thing last season, and had a conflict with the Clippers equipment manager, and finally Griffin started to hit someone, which resulted in a broken palm of his hand. At that time, the injury should have been the right hand, and the most feared thing about the injury was the recurrence of the old injury, especially this kind of fracture is easy to recur in the same part. In the Penguin Sports live broadcast room, Wang Meng looked at Griffin's back as he left the court and analyzed.

Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "I also know about Griffin, but the injury is on the right hand, the wound on the back of the hand is four or five centimeters long, and there are many stitches, and the right hand looks like a big steamed bun." In fact, what I've always been curious about is that Griffin's hands are injured like this, and I don't know what kind of injury the guy has to be when he gets beaten... However, at the moment, it seems that Griffin may be difficult to play again in this game. ”

"yes, the Clippers' best player today left the game with an injury, and no matter what, it's really good news for the Mavericks." Wang Meng nodded in response, and did not answer Yang Yi's words of some schadenfreude.

Watching Griffin walk directly to the locker room, Chen Zhi couldn't help but be a little speechless, this time the dunk was originally going to Little Jordan, but Griffin pounced on it himself, it was definitely a pure accidental injury!

Chen Zhi is also very sorry for Griffin's injury, but I think that in the future, the center players in the league, seeing their dunks, should no longer be so desperate to defend, whether to dodge or dodge, after all, everyone has been dodging James's collision for many years.

Not long after, the Clippers came with news confirming that Griffin would not play again in this game, which is definitely obviously extremely unfavorable news for the Clippers, from the beginning to the present, the Clippers' best player is Griffin, his excellent play is the main reason why the Clippers and the Mavericks have been biting the point difference.

Although Griffin's injury was definitely an accident, and even the referee gave Griffin a defensive foul, Chen Zhi did not have any problems in the process of dunking, but Carlisle still put Chen Zhi, who dunked the Clippers inside one after another and caused Griffin's injury, on the bench.

After Chen arrived, the Clippers also began to rotate, but Paul remained on the court for the rest of the first quarter, and the Clippers gradually began to take the lead under his scheduling.

Paul, who played the entire first quarter, did not appear at the beginning of the second quarter, and the bench lineups of the two sides began to confront.

The Mavericks' bench lineup, which played very well against the Spurs in the last game, is still playing very well in this game.

Curry Jr. hit back-to-back three-pointers late in the first quarter and early in the second quarter, and Anderson also hit a three-pointer to give the Mavericks a run.

However, even if they played very well, they still couldn't erase the advantage that Paul brought to the Clippers in the first quarter for the Mavericks, because the Clippers bench players played equally well in this game.

In addition to the small forward position, the depth of the Clippers' bench lineup has also been criticized, and there is a huge gap between the bench strength and the main team, and there are really few who can really play.

But against the Mavericks, the Clippers' super sixth man Jamal Crawford's play was simply unstoppable.

In the face of Justin Anderson's defense, Crawford is like a jumping elf on the court, a signature double change of direction behind the sudden use, Justin Anderson was directly shaken aside, Crawford got the gap and immediately hit the shot, it was simply a bullet, the mid-range back dribble and jump combo, many times easy to score under the basket, but also made Justin Anderson stumble left and right in the defense, and seemed at a loss.

Chen Zhi sat on the sidelines and watched the game on the court, deeply impressed by Crawford, it is hard to imagine that the young players who are unusually active on the court and constantly singled out the Mavericks are a 36-year-old veteran.

Chen Zhi felt that although he was similar to Crawford, he was far less flexible than Crawford.

Scoring, scoring, and scoring is Crawford's rhythm on the court, and once the ball is in his hands, it is rarely passed, but his cancerous style of play is not disgusting, because as soon as fans see him with the ball, they feel that the Clippers are going to score again.

In this game against the Mavericks, Crawford played his role as a super sixth man perfectly, and Jamal Crawford can indeed be called a real super sixth man.

After winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year title again last season, he has become the only player in NBA history to win the title three times.

If it weren't for Rivers Jr. who shared a lot of balls on the court, Chen Zhi had no doubt that Crawford would be able to score 20+ high points in a single quarter, his hand was indeed too hot, and Crawford, whose dribbling level had reached the realm, coupled with this hot hand, was completely a superstar on the court, and the ball style was extremely gorgeous.

In the NBA, there are no longer a few brothers competing on the same court, father and son play for the same team as a coach and a player, respectively, and Rivers and Rivers are the only couple.

It's a pity that compared to Crawford's excellent performance, the prince Rivers Jr. is not so satisfying, looking at the big eyes of Coach River Document on the sidelines, you know that his son Rivers Jr. is cheating on his father again.

The Mavericks organized an offense, and Seth Curry, who was opposite Xiaohe, had slipped from the bottom corner into the basket, and Rivers Jr. was still standing in the bottom corner, keeping his eyes on Anderson with the ball, and didn't notice Curry Jr.'s movement at all, if it weren't for the ball in Anderson's hand passed to Curry who cut in the air, Rivers Jr. probably wouldn't have found that his defensive player had already left.

Fortunately, on the offensive end, although Rivers Jr. is not as hot as Crawford, he can still contribute, although the projection is not stable, but the speed is fast, and he continues to rely on speed to impact the Mavericks' interior line, and the Clippers or his father's tens of millions of annual salaries are worth it.

Chen got off the court in the first quarter of this game earlier than before, seeing that Crawford was in a hot state, and the backcourt combination of Curry Jr. and Anderson couldn't be prevented at all, Carlisle sent Chen Zhi to the court early, and asked Chen Zhi to defend a substitute player, which was the first time.

Seeing that Chen took over from Justin Anderson, who had been dazed by himself, to defend himself after coming on the field, Crawford couldn't help but be cautious.

Although there are not many reports in the media, the senior scouts of each team have long emphasized in the reports submitted that the accurate defensive sense and fast and accurate steal ability are unmatched in the league.

Although he knows that Chen Zhi is very good at stealing, Crawford is still a little faintly excited, and it is more challenging to play against these defensive masters, besides, the defensive masters who have been dribbling behind him in disguise over the years do not know how many there are, and how many catties Chen Zhi has, and he has to try to know.

In the face of Chen's single defense, Crawford changed the ball to his left hand in front of his body, and made a feint to break through on the left side, without Chen Zhi reacting, and he quickly dribbled from behind to his right hand, with a small amplitude but a fast back dribble.

In fact, this is essentially the first real feint, once Chen Zhi's center of gravity changes, he will immediately connect the second signature skill with a larger amplitude, jump behind his back and dribble, and instantly widen the distance between him and Chen Zhi.

But he didn't expect that when Chen Zhi was carrying his luck, he didn't shake left and right, but suddenly quickly approached him when he was dribbling the ball behind his back.

Chen's action made Crawford feel a sense of depression that wanted to vomit blood, because at this time, the ball had left Crawford's palm and was moving towards the other hand, and there was no chance to change direction immediately.

Chen Zhi instantly stepped forward to engage in physical confrontation, and his arm explained very clearly, in the referee's opinion, it was just a slight contact between the body and Crawford.

The power that could pass from Chen's chest forced Crawford to interrupt the dribble. The body is already thin and weak, and he is already a thirty-six-year-old veteran, Crawford's style of play and rhythm have always relied on flexible dribbling to avoid defenders, and rarely look for confrontations, his confrontation ability is the weakest relative to NBA players, and it can be said that there is no capital to engage in physical confrontation with Chen Zhi.

Just when he stopped catching the ball with his right hand, and was looking for his teammates to prepare to pass the ball, Chen Zhi's arm suddenly reached out, slapped off the ball he was holding with one hand, rushed forward, scooped up the basketball and went to the opposite half.

Crawford, whose hand was suddenly empty, was stunned for a moment, and stood in place for a while looking at Chen Dao, who was galloping away, but he didn't have the idea of switching offense and defense.

The first time he faced Chen Dao, he was cut off, which he never thought of anyway.

After Chen Zhi's violent dunk was successful, Rivers quickly called a timeout and replaced Paul on the court, he saw very clearly that Chen Zhi's timing was too good, and he was very good at using physical confrontation to defend, and replaced it with other players, the timing of the step forward was not accurate enough, and it was likely to be passed by Crawford's back luck, but Chen Zhi was very decisive in the whole process, obviously with this kind of certainty, his defense can be said to be the nemesis of Crawford's fancy dribbling.

Although Crawford plays professional basketball in the NBA, he is a streetball soul in his body, and it is difficult for him to change to a solid offensive style, and his offensive style has been relatively fixed in the NBA for more than ten seasons, and it is difficult to change it.

Replacing Paul with a solid Paul would never make such a low-level mistake in front of Chen Zhi, the kind of solid point guard that NBA coaches love the most.

The main players of the Mavericks and the Clippers played inextricably before, and fans thought that it would still be a tug-of-war next, but when the main lineups of the two sides returned to the court again, the Clippers without Griffin seemed to suddenly fall into a storm vortex, and in the face of the Mavericks' stormy attack, there was not much power to parry, because their offense almost came to a standstill.

After Griffin left the court with an injury, the Clippers now need the most offensive firepower, they have almost no decent autonomous offensive points, Jordan Jr. and Bamot are both defensive players, almost no independent offensive ability.

Redick is still running, but Matthews is really desperate enough on the defensive end, although he will bump into the Clippers cover from time to time, it still puts Redick under great pressure, and after hitting two shots in a row, Redick's subsequent projection is unsustainable, and he begins to keep hitting the iron, and the constant running makes him breathe a little fast, and the rhythm of the shot has been affected.

All the hope of the Clippers is on Paul, but under Chen Zhi's defense, it is difficult for Paul to have a good chance to make a shot, because Chen Zhi's response to blocking and dismantling is too astute, so clever that Paul wonders if Chen Zhi has eyes behind him!

Seeing the score difference continue to widen, Paul had to start to force shots frequently, but Chen Zhi's height, arm span, and bounce are much better than Paul's, and Paul has to speed up his shot speed while connecting difficult actions such as back side steps and backwards, so as to prevent Chen from hitting the head, so how bleak Paul's hit rate can be imagined.

In the first game of the comeback, the old driver scored four three-pointers in the third quarter, and worked together with Chen Zhi to directly pull the score to 26 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Chen Zhi and the old driver did not play directly, because they could already get off work in the third quarter of the game!

Under the leadership of the minibus, the Mavericks ended the game steadily, even if Chen did not defend in the fourth quarter, Paul was unable to lead the Clippers to turn the tables, and even Paul himself was already a little sluggish, and he was already worried about the Clippers' next schedule.

Because of the news from the Clippers' medical team, Griffin could have to miss at least four to six weeks of games due to injury.

And Chen Zhi, who was sitting on the bench waiting for the end of the game at the moment, never expected that the disintegration of the Clippers after this season would actually originate from the sharp decline in performance caused by his injury to Griffin.
