"We played really well in the first half, and what we need to do now is to continue the momentum of the first half in the second half of the game and not give the Lakers any momentum on the counterattack." As soon as he returned to the locker room, Mike Brown, the head coach of the Clippers, was back in the locker room. Dunleavy was the first to stand up and give praise to his teammates.

Truth be told, even Mike, as the head coach of the Clippers. Dunleavy himself did not expect that the Clippers would not only not be suppressed under the high momentum of the Lakers today, but could lead the Lakers by 6 points at the end of the first half.

Although this margin is not a big advantage, the Clippers were able to lead the defending champions in this situation as a young Praetorian Guard, and to be honest, they have surpassed Mike. Dunleavy's vision.

"Lee, as the captain, you can also say a few words." Mike. After Dunleavy finished speaking, he turned his head directly to Li Yao and said.

"Well, in fact, there is no need to say superfluous words, just like the coach said, we have played very well in the first half, and I hope everyone can continue to work hard in the second half, but there is one thing, that is what I said before the game, I hope to win this victory as a gift to my son, so brothers, keep working hard for me in the second half, don't let your nephew down." Regarding the performance of the Clippers in the first half, Li Yao really has nothing to say, because in his opinion, the Clippers have done a very good job.

"Don't worry, Lee, we're going to take this game as a gift for Aven." As soon as Li Yao's voice fell, Eric. Gordon stood up and said with a smile.

Truth be told, in fact, during the Clippers' internal training before the start of the season, Eric . Gordon was for Li Yao to arrange himself to Demar. DeRozan, a rookie rookie, is actually very dissatisfied.

Originally, before the arrival of Li Yao, he Eric. Gordon is the default future core of the Clippers, although the arrival of Li Yao can be regarded as snatching his core position, but Eric . Gordon actually didn't complain too much, because he knew the gap between himself and Li Yao, especially after that training with the Chinese men's basketball team. Gordon never had any other thoughts.

But when Li Yao told Eric during the training camp. Gordon wanted him to play off the bench when Eric Brown. Gordon still couldn't help but ask Li Yao where he couldn't compare to Demar. DeRozan is a rookie.

For Eric. Gordon's questioning, Li Yao had to patiently explain to him, telling him that Li Yao needs him to appear on the bench as a strong scoring point to provide fire support for the Clippers, not to look down on him. Gordon's positioning is actually the Spurs' vs. Demon Knife Manu. Ginobili is the same positioning, a best sixth man.

After learning about Li Yao's idea and having a detailed discussion with Li Yao, Eric . Gordon finally untied the knot and focused on his responsibilities as the best sixth man, and he also performed very well in the two games of the preseason, especially in the second game in which Li Yao was absent. Gordon scored a team-high 27 points as the third scorer in the Clippers, providing the Clippers with a strong firepower.

"Yes, we will definitely win this game today as a gift to Xiao Li Hao." At this time, Da Yao also spoke.

The rest of the Clippers also expressed their desire to win this game one by one.

After half-time, the two sides returned to the playing field.

After some warm-up, the starting five tigers of both sides also entered the battle again.

In the first 7 minutes after the start of the third quarter, the starting five tigers of both sides also maintained the state of the first half, playing inextricably, although the score was also staggered, but the Clippers still maintained the lead.

After the bench lineups of the two sides came on the court, the Clippers did not replace Li Yao for a break, which was also requested by Li Yao himself, and he hoped to further expand the point difference between the two sides for the Clippers during this time.

But after the timeout ended, Li Yao found that on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant did not rest at the same time, thinking the same as his own thoughts, but Kobe Bryant wanted to move back the little point difference that the Lakers were behind during this time.

When Li Yao and Kobe Bryant found each other's figures at the same time, they couldn't help laughing, but they didn't expect their thoughts to be so similar.

Players from both sides started the game again.

However, at this time, it became a dividing line in this game, Kobe Bryant didn't know why, the feeling was lost in an instant during this time, and it was once cold that Kobe himself was a little unbelievable.

Kobe Bryant's hand felt cold, the Lakers' benches lost their core, although Kobe Bryant also tried to use his breakthrough to create a little offensive opportunity for his teammates after losing his touch, but I don't know if it was due to the impact of Kobe's cold hand, the Lakers' benches failed to throw the basketball into the Clippers' basket even after Kobe Bryant created a gap for them.

Kobe Bryant also discovered this after several attempts in a row, and due to the poor feeling on his side, it directly caused the Clippers to directly stretch the score difference between the two sides to as many as 13 points during this period.

Kobe, who couldn't bear it, once again turned into a god of war, and launched the most violent impact on the Clippers alone.

After Li Yao saw this situation, he couldn't help laughing, since you Lakers gave you a chance, then if our Clippers don't grasp it, wouldn't we be sorry for your big gift?

So, with a wave of his hand, Li Yao directly signaled to the Clippers to increase their offensive and defensive speed again, and he wanted to seize this opportunity to fully bring the Lakers into their rhythm and avoid the Lakers taking the opportunity to find their touch.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect Li Yao to be so decisive, and directly speed up the pace to avoid his own side from regaining his feel, but for Li Yao's approach, Kobe Bryant was helpless, so he could only suppress a little rhythm when his own side attacked, and try to use his own attack to recover some of his touch.

But since Li Yao has already made this plan, how can he let Kobe Bryant ruin his rhythm so easily?

So Li Yao waved his hand, and the whole court pressed the defense again, with Jackson and Li Yao, Demar. DeRozan is the arrow's outside lineman, and the three players are aggressive and aggressive against the Lakers' ball-handlers.

Although Jackson will be at a disadvantage when facing Kobe, Li Yao occupies a good defensive space for him behind Jackson, so that Kobe can no longer do whatever he wants to Jackson as before.

Even when the situation allowed, Li Yao stepped forward many times with the intention of implementing a two-man trap tactic against Kobe Bryant with Jackson.

This situation made Kobe Bryant very annoying, and in desperation, Kobe Bryant had to pass the basketball to his teammates several times as a rotation.

But this just fell into the trap of the Clippers, as long as you don't let Kobe Bryant get back his touch, just with these Lakers substitutes, Li Yao really doesn't believe that the Lakers can turn the world with their gang of substitutes.

Moreover, Li Yao also relied on Kobe Bryant's pass to find two opportunities from Jordan. Famar made the tackle.

After being snatched by Li Yao, there is no need to say more.

Even if Kobe Bryant tried to chase after Li Yao, but Li Yao's speed was too fast, even if Kobe tried his best, he couldn't catch up with Li Yao.

After the second steal and dunk, Li Yao did not raise his head to the sky and roar like the first time to turn on his pretending mode, but found the camera on the bottom line after landing, and made a thumbs-sucking motion at the camera, and then made a two-handed heart.

Li Yao's happy appearance stunned the audience near the bottom line.

"Huh, what do we see? After Lee steals and dunks, he didn't celebrate as wantonly as usual, but made such a warm move, it seems that Lee's love for little Evan after becoming a father has even been given up his favorite pretend. After seeing Li Yao's celebration, Barkley was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said with a smile on his face.

"Aven? Is this Lee's son's name? "Kenny. Smith's attention was attracted by Barkley's Aven, although the news that Li Yao had a son was exposed by the media, but it was the first time he heard what Li Yao's son was called.

"Hey, Kenny, that's the gap, the great Sir Charles is always one step ahead of you." Barkley looked at his partner's surprised look and immediately looked satisfied, he wanted this effect, saving him from being embarrassed by Kenny every time. Smith taunted with a championship ring.

Compared with the contradiction between the two cross talk commentators on TNT's side, ccya5 in China is a completely different scene.

"Haha, I didn't expect today's opening game to be so interesting, Li Yao not only had a wonderful duel with Kobe Bryant after the opening, but also led the Clippers all the way to lead the defending champion Lakers, and the celebration of Li Yao just now I believe everyone can guess a rough idea, that's right, our junior captain Li Yao is celebrating his newborn son, I didn't expect our junior captain to have such a warm side." Teacher Zhang Lili also said with a smile on his face.

Of course, Li Yao didn't know what several commentators had commented on the celebration he had just made, but at this time he still devoted all his attention to the game.

In the end, when the final whistle blew, the Clippers, led by Li Yao, successfully defeated the defending champion Lakers 107-99 in the opening game, and scored the Clippers' first victory of the season.

It also allowed Li Yao to realize his promise to win the game before the game as a gift to his son.
