Chapter 279 - Clocking in and out

In the end, Li Yao still agreed to Da Yao's suggestion, because he really couldn't think of a better solution.

However, Li Yao's gratitude to Da Yao is even deeper, as an All-Star center, he actually took the initiative to help himself alleviate this difficult situation when his playing time was compressed, Da Yao, the big brother, did not say.

At this time, Li Yao also made up his mind to win this game by a big score and give an explanation to Da Yao, who made the sacrifice.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Li Yao continued to take the substitutes on the court.

And the Suns also replaced their own bench lineup at this time.

As the head coach of the Suns, Elvin . Gentry also didn't want to send this group of benches to continue to go up for the Clippers to friction this lineup, but there was no way, the main players of the Suns fought for almost the entire first quarter of the game, not to mention the high-intensity offensive and defensive battles in the second half of the game, as Leandro played the entire first quarter. Barbossa was already panting at this time, holding a towel and wiping the sweat constantly.

In desperation, Erwin. Gentry had no choice but to let the substitutes go up and support them as much as possible to relieve the strength of the main team.

Li Yao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, he was really sleepy and sent pillows, what did he want.

Before Li Yao was still thinking about winning this game with a big score, the result was good, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the head coach of the Suns, Ervin . Gentry gave himself such a big surprise.

"If you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of the bastard." Li Yao thought so in his heart.

The Clippers were in possession at the start of the second quarter.

After Li Yao received the baseline serve, his speed soared directly and rushed towards the front court.

And as a point guard, you have to keep an eye on Golan who is guarding against Li Yao. Dragic was taken aback, and quickly stopped his steps forward, and hurriedly retreated.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Yao took two steps after just crossing the middle line, and when there was still a certain distance from the three-point line, he directly pulled out his hand.

After throwing the basketball, Li Yao didn't look at it, and turned his head directly to his own half.

When Li Yao turned around and just took the first step, with a "boom", the sound of the basketball brushing the net came into everyone's ears.

The Staples Center Arena was boiling over.

And the Golan . Dragic was stunned and looked at Li Yao, who was already slow, he really didn't expect Li Yao to choose such an unreasonable shot directly at the beginning.

"This kid." Kobe Bryant, who was sitting on the court, also felt laughing and crying at Li Yao's play, but Kobe Bryant also felt a familiar figure on Li Yao's ball, the 0 who was always so confident.

is also in this Staples Center Arena, the confident No. 0 scored 60 points when facing himself, but I don't know if this guy Li Yao can be as famous as that guy in the Staples Center today.

Golan. Dragic reacted at the call of his teammates and hurriedly ran to the baseline to receive his teammate's serve.

Golan. Dragic had already suffered a loss in the first quarter, and before he came on the court, head coach Erwin Lee. Gentry had specifically instructed him to stabilize the situation and delay as much time as possible. Dragic slowed down the pace of his attack as soon as he advanced to the front court, slowly dribbling the ball on the outside.

After seeing this scene, Li Yao knew what the Suns were planning to do now, they wanted to slow down the pace to relieve the physical pressure on the main players.

"Can you slow down if you want to?" Li Yao couldn't help but scoff at the Suns' approach, and directly waved his hand to force the defense to reappear.

And Li Yao, as the first point of the outside defense, pounced directly on Golan. Dragic, want to put pressure on him.

After seeing Li Yao's gesture, the generals of the Clippers also instantly raised the intensity of defense to a notch.

Steve sitting on the sidelines. Nash did not hesitate to rush towards Golan when he saw Li Yao. Dragic couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Li Yao to be so decisive and want to rely on high-intensity defense to forcibly raise the pace of the game again.

Also frowning is of course Suns head coach Ervin Brown. Gentry is up.

However, I don't know if it was expected in advance. Dragic was not nervous at all in the face of Li Yao's sudden strengthening of defense, and a back-dribbling was quite freehand to defuse Li Yao's rushing defense.

Li Yao also didn't expect that his sudden change of rhythm did not affect Golan. Dragic, I can't help but look down on this guy, it is worthy of being a guy who can win tens of millions of annual salaries in the Heat in the future, and now he has a trace of generalism.

"But now you're just a younger brother." Li Yao in his heart to the Golan. After Dragic praised it, he then took the initiative to defend Golan. Dragic.

In the face of Lee's oppressive defense, Golan. Dragic no longer had the relaxed appearance he had before, and began to dodge Li Yao's defense non-stop.

When the Golan. When Dragic really couldn't stand such a high-intensity oppressive defense, he hesitated for a moment and wanted to pass the basketball to his teammates to relieve the pressure.

But right in the Golan. The moment Dragic passed the ball out, Jackson suddenly went out of the air and got stuck in Golan. Dragic's pass was cut off.

As soon as the Clippers broke the ball, the audience in the entire Staples Center arena almost stood up in an instant, and the Clippers have fully shown them in the past two days that when the Clippers break the ball successfully, the next shot will be enough to be selected for the top 5 of the day, and they don't want to miss such a wonderful picture.

Jackson at the moment of the break, Li Yao and Eric. Gordon just rushed to the front court.

Jackson also threw the basketball over immediately.

After receiving the basketball, Li Yao directly made a horizontal 90° direct pass and knocked the basketball to Eric. Gordon's offensive line, Eric . Gordon didn't hesitate to show off his strength to the crowd at the Staples Center with an explosive tomahawk dunk.

When Eric. After Gordon finished dunking, the entire Staples Center arena suddenly boiled again.

Next, although the Suns' bench was bent on stabilizing the rhythm, but under the Clippers' oppressive defense, the scene simply couldn't go their way.

In desperation, Suns head coach Ervin Brown. Gentry was only able to get his main players on the court again just three minutes into the second quarter.

He's doing this to fight for a wave, and if he really can't, then he'll have to give up the game.

Although the first win or defeat of the new season is more important, but the current situation has reached this point, and there are 82 games in a season, there is no need to fight to the death in a game.

Steve. Nash was also able to sense his intentions from the head coach's arrangement, so Steve. Nash also decided to fight as hard as he could in the second quarter to see if he could turn the situation around.

And the Clippers have also made adjustments, using DeMar. DeRozan replaced Jackson and replaced Steve Brown. Novak replaces Sergi. Ibaka.

Although the two new substitutions will reduce the defensive intensity of the Clippers by more than a notch, they can provide more offensive firepower for the Clippers' lineup.

When the timeout ended, the two teams once again battled offensively, much to the delight of the crowd at the Staples Center.

By the end of the second quarter, the Clippers had scored 87 points, leading the Suns by 69 points and 18 points.

And the Clippers' 87 points in this half also set a record for the most points scored in a half this season.

Suns head coach Ervin Brown. After seeing this situation, Gentry also knew that the Suns were going to be in a position at this time.

After halftime, less than a minute into the third quarter, he called a timeout, replaced the starters, and announced that the Suns had abandoned the game.

The Clippers saw that the Suns had given up the game. Dunleavy also waved his hand, sent a group of substitutes, and even sent the water cooler manager to the field to experience the feeling of the game.

In fact, I want to say here that although there are 12 people on the activation list in NBA games, the main rotation lineup of the average team is about 9 people, and the remaining players are commonly known as water cooler managers in the mouth of fans.

Nowadays Mike. Dunleavy saw that his teammates had already chosen to surrender in the third quarter, and he also chose to pretend to be a wave of ratios, and sent the water cooler administrator, who usually has almost no chance to play, to the court.

"Brother Yao, live up to expectations." When Li Yao and Da Yao went off the field together, he said to Da Yao with a smug face.

"Well done, it's good if you can do this in the future, not only can you sit in the super VIP seat for free to watch the game, but you can also get money, this feeling is quite cool." The team was able to end the battle in the third quarter, and Da Yao was also very happy and couldn't help but ridicule Li Yao.

Although he only played two games in the new season, compared to his time in the Rockets, his playing time has decreased significantly, but the score has not decreased at all, and it is not as hard as before, Da Yao is also sure that his choice to come to the Clippers was a wise decision.

"Brother Yao, in the future, we will try our best to ensure that you can clock out of work directly in the third quarter of the game, so that your career can also continue for a long time." Li Yao was woken up by Da Yao's words, you must know that in the future, Ku Ritian will often clock in and out of work in three quarters, since he can do it every day, then how can he Li Yao not do it?

"Li Yao, you can't be serious, right?" Da Yao looked at Li Yao with a surprised expression, you must know that he was completely joking just now.

"Brother Yao, it's definitely unrealistic now, but after these young people in the team rise, I believe that the time will come for us to clock out and leave work directly in the third quarter." Li Yao said seriously to Da Yao.

"I hope so." After seeing Li Yao's serious expression, Da Yao's eyes couldn't help but have a trace of trance.
