Chapter Fifty-Eight: The City of Empty Connections

After the warm-up, the race gradually got back on track.

Both sides jump the ball in the middle circle!

Looking at the two who were preparing to jump the ball, Yang Yi shook his head helplessly, he was already ready to defend. Lopez can't even jump Big McGee, let alone compare to the bouncing little Jordan!

Sure enough, Jordan Jr. took advantage of Lopez's two palms higher and dialed the ball to CP3, and Paul attacked with the ball.

Paul has all the qualities of a defender, not only can he help his players score, but he can also maintain a consistent shooting percentage in key moments, and he can break very sharply. At the same time, Paul has a passing vision that other defenders can't match, as well as excellent big-picture vision and organizational skills, and the fat man can't stop him alone.

Yang Yi slowly opened his arms with a grim expression. Paul isn't Miller Sr., he's at the peak of his career. Both physical and technical, it has reached its peak. The fat man's slow movement speed could not have been enough to withstand Paul's breakthrough. But his extra-long reach helped him a lot, and it looked like a moving wall, although it was leaking everywhere!

Paul didn't choose to break through, but motioned for Jordan Jr. to come up and block the pick-and-roll. Little Jordan came forward to block the fat man after realizing it, and Paul broke through.

After shaking off Yang Yi, Paul faced the Hornets' starting center Lopez. However, instead of bullying Lopez for not moving as fast as him and opting for a breakaway, he played a step-back shot.

Paul's mid-range shooting percentage is obvious to all and very consistent. Seeing this, Lopez quickly jumped up to block the block, and Yang Yi also rushed over from the side, trying to block Paul.

It would be cool if I could give this guy a big hat, Yang Yi said secretly in his heart.

However, his idea obviously belonged to YY, and just as he gave up Jordan Jr. to block Paul, Jordan Jr. suddenly turned around and strode towards the penalty area. Just past the free throw line, Paul's ball flew through the air, and Jordan Jr. flew up and smashed the ball to the basket with one hand.

Poor Anderson, who was close at hand, could only watch Little Jordan fly and dunk violently and there was nothing he could do. He can't block this ball if he wants to, unless he pays a malicious foul.

Nima is really an empty city! The first attack in the opening game came with a vigorous air relay, and the flying brigade of the City of Angels really lived up to its name.

"Oh, Paul, our king of the boat, he gave us a wonderful assist and teamed up with Jordan Jr. to give us a wonderful air relay. cp3, cp3..."The Clippers' home commentator frantically guided the fans to cheer for Paul and Jordan Jr.'s wonderful aerial relay.

"The One, this ball is my fault, I should fly to block Little Jordan." Ryan Anderson said apologetically.

"Anderson, don't take the blame on yourself, this ball is my mistake, if I block Jordan Jr., he can't complete the aerial relay so easily." Yang Yi hurriedly said that he didn't want his teammates to take responsibility that they shouldn't have because of his mistakes.

It was already very demoralizing to be beaten in an aerial relay at the beginning, and if the morale of your teammates was affected again, then you still want to win!

But this is also a reminder for him, you must watch people. The Clippers are not an average team in the league, they are known as the city of empty pick-ups!

"Wait a minute, keep an eye on Griffin and Jordan Jr., Paul's aerial relays are often done with them, and the dunks are their forte." Gordon on the side also said. He was teammates with Jordan Griffin Jr. before, and he knew very well how exciting these two gravity-defying guys were bounced, and one was a violent dunk. It's just sassy, don't want it!

The Hornets serve from the baseline, and the fat man holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt.

Compared with defense, Yang Yi is much more powerful on the offensive end, and Paul can't prevent him alone.

After the fat man faced Paul with the ball, he did not directly choose to break through, but dribbled and chose the opportunity to attack, just now Aminu and Gordon said that they were going to break out, and Yang gave them a chance. However, after thinking that Paul had cost 300 glory points in vain, the fat man was a little annoyed, and he said with a sad face: "Paul, you pay me back 300 points!" ”

Paul looked confused, originally he was still thinking about whether to give Yang Yi a steal, the glory of the four-time steal king is not in vain, and his steals are very powerful on the defensive end. But Yang Yi suddenly said this, and he felt a little inexplicable!

"What three hundred points?" Paul asked subconsciously.

I'm forked, I said I leaked my mouth! If Nima had let others know that he had a system in mind, then the next day he would have appeared in a secret R&D laboratory and disappeared from the world, making a great contribution to the progress of mankind on Earth!

"I made a bet with Gordon in the preseason that if we won they asked me to go to the net, and if we lost I asked them to go to the net. Pity me for the 300 yuan I just recharged, 300 points, and they used it up after a while, do you blame you? After the fat man reacted, he casually rambled nonsense.

"Uh..."

Paul looked at the fat man in front of him who stirred up the storm when he first entered the league, Nima, who would believe that he scored 52 points in a single quarter in the last game and scored 76 points in the whole game, becoming the fourth highest single-game scoring player in the league's history?

52 minutes in a single quarter! A person who can accomplish such a feat is either domineering or coquettish, how can he be like this guy in front of him with his own comic attributes, and the words he says are confusing!

The game was going on, and after the fat man finished speaking, he dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, and hit Paul inside. Paul, who is 1.83 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms, is completely inadequate in front of a fat man.

Like an adult bullying a child, Yang Yi rushed into the line quickly with Paul. Although Paul has resisted it to the death, there is a gap between the two in terms of weight, strength, and height, and Yang Yi's huge wide body blocks Paul from stealing the ball, CP3 just wants to dig out the ball but can't dig it!

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jamal Crawford on the Clippers' No. 2 position quickly abandoned Gordon and pounced on Yang Yi, blocking the fat man's forward route.

Seeing Crawford pounce on him, Yang Yi realized that his goal had been achieved. He flicked the ball to the right, and the unmarked Gordon received the ball and fired a quick shot.

Swish!

The ball hit the basket and Gordon's goal equalized for the Hornets.

2:2, the two sides returned to the same running line.

Switching offense and defense, Yang Yi once again faced Paul with the ball. However, this time Paul did not let Jordan Jr. come forward to block him, but passed the ball to Crawford. He himself is running without the ball and letting the fat man run after him.

The Clippers' ball went through a few spins, passing through Jordan Jr., Odom, Crawford and Griffin before returning to Paul. At this point, Paul had run to the baseline, but he was in a bad position, and Ryan Anderson was in front of him, blocking his shot.

After Paul feigned a shot and tricked Anderson into jumping, he quickly dribbled to the basket. However, Yang Yi had already caught up and stood in the way of CP3. Seeing this, Paul did not panic, and when his body was about to make contact with Yang Yi, he suddenly changed his cadence, and left the fat man with European steps.

It's really in the middle of thousands of flowers, and the leaves don't stick to the body!

However, after passing Yang Yi with Europe, Paul's remaining strength was no longer enough to support him to complete the shooting or layup.

"Good opportunity, it looks like I'm going to get a cap at the beginning of today." The fat man secretly rejoiced in his heart, in front of me, the European step is not so easy to use.

Just as he lunged at Paul, Paul suddenly threw the ball to the left side of the rebound with both hands.

It's not good, Nima is an air relay again! It's just that this time I don't know who connected with Paul.

Rumble!

The sound of the basketball being vigorously poured into the basket and the basket being pulled to a creaky are intertwined, and before he can turn around, Yang Yi knows that this is a violent slam dunk! When he looked back, it turned out to be the White Monster Griffin, who was still hanging on the basket after the ball was poured into the basket and refused to come down.

In just two offensive rounds of the opening game, the Clippers gave fans two wonderful aerial relays. This kind of explosive performance directly ignited the fans in the audience. Many fans stood up and applauded and shook the posters in their hands!

Damn, it's really an empty city! The Los Angeles Flying Brigade lives up to its name!
