Chapter 65: Phenomenal Cheekiness
~
Because both sides showed their strongest strength, and continued to score goals inside and outside, the score difference between the two teams has always remained within a very small range.
At the end of the first half, the Hornets led the Clippers by one point at 57-56.
"Well done! The One, which continues to keep the pressure on the Clippers; Eric and Al are also good, and hopefully your firepower will continue in the second half. ”
"Robin, you and Ryan need to play harder, now that our interior is leaking around, we can't let Griffin and Jordan Jr. continue to run rampant. Otherwise, no amount of goals we can score from the outside will help. ”
During the break in the away dressing room, Williams commented on his team's performance in the first half.
Truth be told, after a wave of away wins, he was going to give up on this game, after all, the team is now exhausted. This year's Clippers are strong, and the player configuration is several grades higher than the Hornets, so it is the best choice to give up some games appropriately and score points on the weak opponent.
But in the first half, it was inseparable from the Clippers, and there was hope of winning, so it was a pity to give up like this. Especially after Gordon and Aminu had a brief outburst, there is more hope, and if Lopez and Anderson compete a little, it is not impossible to win four consecutive aways!
……
Home team dressing room.
Clippers head coach De Nagro scratched his head with some annoyance, Yang Yi has consciously maintained his physical fitness since the second quarter, and his role on the court is equivalent to a turret, specifically outputting firepower for players, and not consuming too much physical energy at all; And the Hornets' outside players are not bad, and the scores they cut are almost the same as their own inside, you must know that Griffin and Jordan Jr.'s scoring methods are mostly dunks!
After talking about the situation of the Hornets, Denagro had a little headache, after the fat man angered Griffin in the first half, Griffin and Jordan Jr. bullied the Hornets to be weak inside, and all kinds of violent dunks were at their fingertips, and they had a lot of fun! Although the two of them teamed up to score 50 points, it seemed that they had overplayed, and the White Monster was now sitting with his legs trembling, obviously overtired muscles; And little Jordan was lying on the recliner and kept pouring Gatorade, foaming at the mouth, and it could be seen that he was not much better than Griffin.
Trapeze isn't that easy to do!
In the second half, these two guys will definitely have to rest for a while, the Clippers' offensive firepower is bound to weaken, and if the Hornets continue to exert their power on the outside, it is not impossible to take away the game in waves!
What a headache!
"Do you want to continue to chase and intercept Yang Yi?" Denagro hesitated. "Let's look at the second half! Hopefully, the veteran players on the court can open up the point difference and win more rest time for the Clippers inside! He thought to himself.
When the game returned, the fans in the audience were excited. In the first half, the offensive battle between the two teams was full of enthusiasm, and the three sniper rifles on the outside of the Hornets were all missing, and the guns were headshots; The Clippers' bomber group is a steady bombing Hornet's position, staging a series of violent buckles.
The confrontation of guns and bombers, go on right away!
At the beginning of the second half, both sides did not send their main forces, but the main forces and substitutes to fight. It's just that the bench lineups of the two teams are too different.
The Hornet's players, except for Gordon, are all small roles, and their combat power is almost zero; And what about the clippers! Substitute point guard Chauncey Billups, formerly the league's top point guard; Veteran Caron Butler, despite his declining form, is still a formidable player against the Hornets bench; The most bullish coin is Grant Hill, as the former successor of Jordan, Hill was selected as an All-Star seven times, and defeated Michael Jordan in 1996 to become the All-Star vote king, which can be described as prestigious. Although the state is very different from before, the tiger is still there.
It can be said that these three veterans, plus Odom, are not inferior to the main force of the Hornets at all, and they are even more handy to play as substitutes.
Just four minutes into the second half, Williams stopped the game, and Nima couldn't stand the scene at all! The Hornets scored four points in the four minutes with just Gordon's shot, while the Clippers' three veterans scored 14 points on a layup to turn the scores of the two teams around. If you don't stop the Hornets, you will definitely be taken away by a wave, and there will be no need for the main force to play at that time!
"The One, wait and go all out, our situation is not optimistic, but you also have to be careful and try to avoid injury, your health is much more important than the result of this match!" Williams said solemnly. Many players are injured when they are tired, and he doesn't want Yang Yi to be one of them!
Although he wants the fat man to save the game, it is not worth it to get injured for a game. The Fat Man has been a key figure for the Hornets throughout the season, and a regular-season win or loss is nothing to the big picture.
"Don't worry, Monty, I want to win, but I'll protect myself!"
……
Seeing the Hornets play their main force, the Clippers' starters are also on the court, and the next play is the key to determining the victory.
Yang Yi was holding the ball on the outside, and standing in front of him was a serious-looking Paul.
"Chris, don't bother yourself, I'm determined to win this game, no matter how wonderful your performance is, it's useless, let's stay ready for the next game!" The fat man was the first to rush trash talk.
Paul's heart sank, although this guy in front of him was a little unsightly, but it did put a lot of pressure on him, and at this time he still maintained a strong fighting spirit, and he was a very difficult opponent.
However, he is also a veteran of the alliance for many years, so he will not be frightened by Yang Yi's remarks, not to mention that the fat man is just his successor!
"Little guy, your mother-in-law and mother talk too much nonsense, let's see the real chapter under your hands! It's not a good thing to develop the habit of fragmented thoughts at a young age, and I hope you will pay attention to it in the future. And as far as I know, women don't seem to like men with broken mouths, so you have to be careful! CP3 is not easy to get along with, and immediately returned the color to Yang Yi and opened his mouth back!
"Uh......" Paul's words were so powerful that the fat man, who had just said goodbye to his virgin career, was speechless. And looking at Paul's seriousness, it's hard to believe that this came out of his mouth!
"Chris, you are also a senior who has been in the league for many years, and it is really undeserved to bully me like this, a rookie who has just entered the league, you should apologize to me!" The fat man suddenly said to Paul with some grievances.
"Uh..."
This time it was Paul's turn to be speechless, and Nima's face changed too fast! Just now, he was domineering and said to himself that he was going to take away the game, but now he was so aggrieved that he complained like a girl, and Paul's thinking didn't keep up with it.
What's more, this guy's face is already phenomenal, and I'm afraid no one in the alliance can stand out! Spewing trash talk with him is simply self-inflicted.
Paul decided, and then when he met the fat man, he practiced a closed mouth meditation, did not listen to the fat man's words, and played ball with all his heart to win!
