Chapter 310: One Pressed Two

Because of Bogut's mouth, Jordan Jr. really didn't choose an easy air catch when Paul sent an empty catch, but wasted time catching the ball and jumping up and dunking after landing, which really exceeded Chen Zhi's expectations.

What does this mean? It shows that little Jordan is very naïve!

After reaching a verbal agreement with the Mavericks, he repented, this behavior itself is a very naïve performance, and Jordan Jr., who has always had a very good reputation, has directly become the laughing stock of the whole league because of such an incident, and Jordan Jr. underestimated the impact of this incident on his image.

After Little Jordan missed a series of singles, Chris Paul, who stepped forward to comfort him, looked at Little Jordan, who didn't know what he was muttering about after missing two free throws, and his brows twisted slightly.

Raising his feet to go up and communicate with Jordan Jr., Paul took a deep breath, turned back to the backcourt and waited for the Mavericks to attack.

The relationship between the Clippers on the court this season is very delicate, or in recent seasons, the relationship between the Clippers has been very delicate, and the Clippers often have some rumors of discord, and then the opportunity is quickly clarified.

Once or twice, the rumors may be wrong, but after the number of times continues to increase, it is clear to discerning people that the clarification after the fact is just part of public relations.

Like the various sadomasochistic love triangles that often play out in movies, the relationship between the Clippers' core trio is also very delicate.

As the league's No. 1 point guard for many years, Paul has never led a team to the division finals, which has always been an unspeakable pain in his heart, and his expectations for the Clippers are very high, so he is very strict with himself and his teammates.

As the brains of the team, when teammates don't work hard enough, or make mistakes on the court, Paul is usually quick to point out that Jordan Jr. had a public argument with Paul when he staged that farce during the contract year.

Because Paul couldn't stand Jordan Jr.'s free throws, and what was even more unbearable was that he thought Jordan Jr.'s free throws were bad, and he didn't work hard enough to practice free throws. Jordan Jr. bluntly said that he was tired of Paul's fingers.

The relationship between Griffin and Paul is also delicate. Paul is undoubtedly the one who single-handedly saved the Clippers, and everyone sees Paul as the real heart of the Los Angeles Clippers, the new generation of Clippers captains, while Griffin seems to be the first mate, and no one has ever put the name of captain on Griffin.

However, fans who often follow the Clippers team may find that it was never Paul who shot the most at the Clippers, but Griffin.

Since Griffin entered the Clippers as the top pick, he has been the player with the most shots, and in the last two years, Griffin has become more and more eager to get out of the shadow of Paul and become an absolute signature of a team.

Jordan Jr. and Griffin were originally close friends, but the relationship between Jordan Jr. and Griffin is not as harmonious as before, the reason is that Jordan Jr. hopes to have more opportunities to make shots, and more and more Griffin, who controls the Clippers' ball possession, does not give Jordan Jr. more passes, it can be said that Jordan Jr.'s naïve mind is at work, but his naivety is a fact.

With the Clippers' good record at the beginning of the season, the relationship between the three cores is arguably the best in recent years.

However, this season's Clippers have bigger concerns, making the current good relationship as fragile as thin ice. This season is a very pivotal season for both Paul and Griffin, as it is a season in which both can jump out of their contracts and sign a new contract.

If both of them take the biggest contract they can sign, the Clippers who want to remain competitive will have to pay a huge luxury tax, otherwise they can only weaken the bench players infinitely, the Clippers are not the Warriors' team that has won the championship and still has absolute championship competitiveness, nor is it a 10,000-year-old team like the Spurs that can win the championship every year, and it is not very competitive in attracting low-paid and high-energy players.

If the Clippers can win a championship this season, or even just make it to the Finals, with Ballmer's financial resources and the level of support he now has for the Clippers, it is likely that they will retain the championship roster despite the luxury tax.

And once the Clippers still haven't broken through, Ballmer will never be able to pay the luxury tax for nothing without competing for a championship.

Therefore, this season is likely to be the last chance for the Clippers trio to compete together, and Paul, who hopes to touch the floor of the Western Conference finals, will have to do his best to maintain the good but fragile relationship between the three in order to gain a better playoff standings.

Bogut's broken mouth actually has a good defensive effect on Jordan Jr., which greatly surprised Chen Zhi's expectations, and after missing two free throws, Jordan Jr.'s mentality obviously fluctuated a little.

The Mavericks attacked again, and Chen Zhi decided to continue to attack Jordan Jr.'s defensive strength without hesitation.

When Chen Zhi completed the breakthrough again, Bamot was desperate, when Chen Zhi's desire to attack was not strong, he felt that Chen Zhi was not so difficult to defend, but once Chen Zhi decided to attack, he was completely powerless to block.

Although Jordan Jr. is a big man, his lateral movement ability is very good, which is also an important reason why he has become a top assistant defender.

This time, the speed at which little Jordan stepped forward was much slower than just now, and the empty connection that Chen sent behind him just now made little Jordan a little scruple about Bogut.

After the breakthrough was completed, the speed was raised to the extreme, and there was no idea of controlling the speed at all to ensure the emergency stop hit rate, because his goal this time was very clear, that is, to go straight to Little Jordan!

Between a fast and a slow, Little Jordan suddenly had no time to move outside the collision area, and Chen Zhi, who was close to the collision area with the ball, did not hesitate to jump with the ball in the face of Little Jordan's defense.

Little Jordan's eyes widened suddenly, and he had already sensed Chen Zhi's intention to forcibly detain him.

As the league's leading inside frame protector today, Jordan Jr. did not give in at all, very tough vertical jump, he never believed in the rumors about Chen Zhi's strength circulating on the Internet, and was very confident that after the physical confrontation in the air, he would offset the power of Chen Zhi's buckle and resolve the dunk, looking at Chen Zhigaoqing's right hand, he even felt that it was not impossible to hit a volleyball hat.

If Chen Zhi failed to grab an extremely advantageous starting position, perhaps the intention of this dunk had to be temporarily changed to pass to Bogut under the basket, but unfortunately, Xiao Qiao's only trace of hesitation made Chen Zhi's decision to dunk this time extremely resolute!

As one of the top power defensive centers in the league at present, Jordan Jr. is very powerful, and he knows very well that these small point guards in the league, even if they rush up, as long as they have enough physical contact, it is impossible to complete the dunk, and they can force a layup to hit later, they are all guys with very strong finishing ability under the basket, and they also have to bring some luck.

But the sudden feeling of tightness in his chest suddenly let Little Jordan know that those rumors on the Internet are by no means groundless, and this Chen Zhi's strength, although it must really reach the level of O'Neal who has two people on his body to dunk like him, but it has definitely reached the level of a power center!

After the forced collision, Chen went to Gao Qing's right hand and stuffed the basketball in his hand into the basket between Little Jordan's hands!

Little Jordan's strength is indeed stronger than the slender Gobert, and his body balance is also better than that of the taller Gobert.

However, after the opening, the Clippers fans, who have been lightly hostile to the Mavericks, made little Jordan who was half-kneeling on the floor extremely ashamed!

As a well-known violent dunking general in the alliance, he used to wreak havoc on other people's heads and knock others to the ground, but now he was almost overturned!

"Gobert sends condolences to Jordan Jr.!"

"Knight sent a thank you letter to Chen Zhi!"

"Xiao Jia suggested to Little Jordan that it would be a better choice to let Chen Zhi fly directly over his head!"

It seems that Clippers fans feel the "oh! It was not enough to express their shock, so they fell silent again, and the fans on the Internet began to ridicule Little Jordan after being shocked. Brandon Knight, the brave guy who was almost murdered by Jordan Jr.'s dunk, also appeared frequently in various comments for a while.

Kendal Jenner, who dragged her chin to watch Chen Zhi play, looked at Chen Zhi who grabbed the basket with one hand after splitting the dunk, and her eyes suddenly brightened, this kind of adrenaline-pumping dunk made her feel the domineering of a real man!

Griffin crossed his waist and looked at Little Jordan who returned to the court from the sidelines, and did not step forward to comfort him, at this time, let the obviously angry Little Jordan be alone!

However, Griffin, who has always tried to become the real signature of the team, glanced at the yellow-skinned kid who was reflexively retreating to the defense, and there was obviously a fighting spirit in his eyes, and the empty city would never lose to any team in the dunk!

After Griffin's off-court serve, he clearly communicated something with Paul as he passed by him.

Seeing that the Clippers were once again preparing to attack through Paul and Jordan Jr.'s blocking, Chen Zhi gestured to Bogut and signaled him to pay attention to blocking Jordan Jr.'s down.

Even if Chen doesn't say it, Bogut has long been paying attention to this, and at this time, he will not give Jordan Jr. a chance to dunk to find face.

Bogut's contraction is very close to the basket, and he has no intention of defending and blocking at all, even if Chen is blocked and Paul gets a chance to score, it will not give Jordan Jr. a chance to dunk!

However, Bogut never expected that he would really be blocked, but it was not Little Jordan who staged the blockade but Griffin!

The blocking and dismantling in the middle and Redick's running position made the electric fan of the defense Griffin distracted for a moment, and the flank stood outside the three-point range, giving Redick a no-ball cover Griffin, which suddenly started, followed by Jordan Jr., and Paul hit the ground sideways, and the ball was immediately passed to Griffin's hands accurately.

Bogut, who was focused on little Jordan, immediately wanted to jump up and block when he noticed Griffin rushing in, but it was obviously too late, and Griffin quickly smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

Although it doesn't look as easy to dunk as Jordan Jr. because of his short hands, Griffin's dunk is still more violent than Jordan Jr., and the kind of dunk that rushes up is obviously more visually impactful than Jordan's standing dunk under the basket!

The Clippers fans cheered! Griffin's response to Chen Zhi's dunk is really beautiful, and it really deserves to be a white monster! Los Angeles Clippers fans feel that way!

However, the big-mouthed Bogut was obviously a little dissatisfied with Griffin's dunk just now, "He fouled!" Press your left arm against my neck to stop me from jumping! ”

However, the referee was indifferent to Bogut's complaints, and compared to the beautiful dunk, the referee was not prepared to pursue the small flaw in Griffin's arm.

Chen Zhi hurried over to stop Bogut from preparing to continue to theorize with the referee, the Los Angeles Clippers were really unguardable, I thought the Clippers would try their best to make a response ball to Jordan Jr., but they ignored Griffin for a while.

Griffin's goal not only tied the score, but also responded to Chen Zhi's dunk just now, which immediately boosted the morale of the Clippers, and even Jordan Jr., who was angered just now, seemed to have recovered a lot because of this ball.

Chen Zhi looked at Griffin, he really had to calm down this guy!

However, before that, Chen Zhi planned to make Jordan Jr. completely out of control, and his defense made the Mavericks very uncomfortable.

Just when Clippers fans were still relishing Griffin's dunk just now, the Mavericks had already begun to attack, and Chen Zhi had once again easily tore through Bamot's defense!

However, what Chen Zhi thought of was that at the same time as he broke through Bamot, the electric fan slipped to the bottom of the run, and Jordan Jr. saw that Griffin was blocked by Bogut's off-ball cover, and had already switched to defend Finney Smith.

Griffin saw Chen go to the middle and attack the basket directly, so he didn't think much about it, and immediately made up for the defensive gap of Jordan Jr. and jumped against Chen Zhi!

Little Jordan's tragedy is just around the corner, although he has not personally felt Chen Zhi's strength, Griffin already knows that Chen Zhi's strength is indeed too strong, so this time he jumped, he had an obvious forward momentum.

He didn't run for the block, but ran to stop Chen from dunking with a foul!

It's a pity that Chen Zhi's strength has exceeded his imagination, and his momentum of moving forward is not enough to compare with the potential energy that Chen Zhi has rushed up after breaking through!

Although Griffin is more flexible and balanced than Jordan Jr., the force of the collision between the two is obviously stronger than the unilateral impact that Jordan Jr. received before, and after the two collided in mid-air, Griffin suddenly lost his balance and fell backwards!

Griffin's hand ran towards Chen Zhi's arm, and he hadn't even touched Chen Zhi's arm yet!

Chen Zhi's impact on the collision was not small, the forward momentum was blocked, and it was impossible to continue to glide and dunk, but fortunately, the jump was high enough, Chen Zhi's round right hand directly smashed the basketball in his hand forward, and the hand did not touch the basket, and the basketball was still smashed into the basket!
