Lillard is still like that, when facing Xie Chen and Stephen Curry, he will not be blessed, he is also the only opponent who Xie Chen can't beat no matter how he fights, Xie Chen is also helpless, obviously he has won you many times, okay!

Now the situation of the Trail Blazers is precarious, counting the three tough games against the Lakers today, once they lose, they will miss the playoffs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Frankly speaking, Xie Chen is not worried about whether the Trail Blazers will enter the playoffs and become his first-round opponent, for him, whether the first-round opponent is the Jazz, Thunder or Trail Blazers, it is the same.

Since Lillard regards Xie Chen and Curry as sworn enemies in his career, he must know more about the two than others, and he naturally knows that the Lakers are now playing a game where bench players are the protagonists.

Lillard guessed that Xie Chen would tease him, and he didn't take it seriously, and just now he was just pure bragging, just trying to be cool, and then, Lillard asked with a smile: "I know you've been making teammates recently, Nick Young and Richard Jefferson both scored 50 points with your help, but I advise you not to do it in this game, because no matter who that person is, he will be abused by me very badly, of course, if you really want to be so helpful, let's win this game easily, I won't have an opinion, After all, we do need victory now. ”

Xie Chen couldn't stand Lillard's contempt for his teammates, and said to Lillard: "I can tell you right now that that person is Jordan Clarkson." ”

After hearing this, Lillard looked at Jordan Clarkson, who was warming up, and saw the immature boy who looked a little shy, Lillard laughed: "Haha, it seems that this game is won, thank you for your success." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Jordan Clarkson who was the protagonist of the Lakers tonight, Lillard showed disdain on his face, in Lillard's eyes, even if it was Xie Chen, he dared to fight with him, playing a player of Clarkson's level, Lillard didn't believe that he would lose to him.

"This arrogant fellow, I'm going to let Clarkson beat you!" Xie Chen was very unhappy.

After the game started, Lillard started a ferocious offense as soon as he started, and he scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up, according to the usual, Xie Chen would respond to Lillard from this moment until he was defeated, but now, it was no longer Xie Chen who stood up and responded, but Clarkson.

Clarkson, as the leading scorer on the bench, does not need to ask Xie Chen to help him score, but should rely on his own individual ability to score, because in most cases, Clarkson will not be on the court at the same time as Xie Chen, except in the final moments of the game.

Xie Chen handed the ball to Clarkson and let Clarkson play.

Clarkson has been preparing for his solo performance for the past few days, and it is still very effective, and he hit a two-point shot on the first offense.

"Let that kid respond to me." Lillard chuckled, and he decided to teach Clarkson a good lesson next, so that his opponent could not compete with Lillard!

Lillard is really hot, even Xie Chen can't defend it, and because of defending Lillard, there were two fouls in the first quarter, Xie Chen was quite careful about the number of fouls in the past, but today he knows that he mainly plays Clarkson, and it doesn't matter how many fouls he fouls, anyway, Clarkson doesn't need to give him an assist.

So, Xie Chen was replaced.

The court was completely Lillard versus Clarkson.

Lillard also said to Clarkson on the court: "Boy, I heard you're going to play me for the Lakers tonight?" I advise you to give up, you are not my opponent at all, don't you want to break the record of 73 wins? ”

Lillard's words really had an impact on Clarkson's mood, for a long time, Clarkson had never played such an important role, and it was the first time to bear so much pressure, coupled with being sprayed by the opponent's ace trash talk, Clarkson began to hesitate and began to doubt himself!

As a result, the already disparity in strength between the two, and then, there was no suspense, Lillard scored 17 points in a single quarter, while Clarkson only scored 7 points in the first quarter.

The Trail Blazers led the Lakers by double digits in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, Coach Stotts happily praised the performance of the whole team, especially the leader Lillard.

Stotts said: "Damion, you did a great job in the first quarter, the reason why the Lakers put Clarkson as the main point of attack is to build his confidence that he will play better in the playoffs, and you completely crushed his confidence, if we meet them in the playoffs, the second team may be the key to our victory." ”

Lillard said lightly: "It's effortless to deal with an opponent like him, guys, we've won tonight, don't worry!" ”

The Lakers bench is a little dull.

Cozyly, Clarkson took the initiative to "resign" and said: "I don't think my strength is still good, I can't fight Lillard, boss, it's better for you to come." ”

Xie Chen is naturally confident that he can defeat Lillard, but he wants Clarkson to confront Lillard today, not himself, if he is allowed to give up like this, not only will he and Wharton's goal not be achieved, but Clarkson will not build a strong confidence, but Clarkson will lose part of his confidence, how can this work!

Xie Chen said: "We can give up the victory of this game!" ”

The whole team looked at Xie Chen in unison, they knew what Xie Chen meant, in order to let Clarkson lead the team as the protagonist, he would rather not win this game.

Ci Shiping reminded: "But if you lose this one, you have to win all the next games to break the record." ”

Xie Chen said: "There are few games left, I am confident to win them all, today, I must let Clarkson show all his abilities, next, don't have any hesitation, don't have any pressure, you only need to do one thing on the court, that is, score!" ”

Clarkson raised his head in surprise, he had already lost confidence, but he never expected that Xie Chen would be willing to give up the victory in this game in order to let Clarkson continue to prove himself, you know, if you want to break 73 wins, the Lakers can only lose one game!

Clarkson clenched his fists, he vowed to prove himself on the field and never disappoint everyone's expectations of him!

After the second quarter, Clarkson's eyes lit up again, and the opponent Lillard obviously didn't realize it, and he also defended Clarkson himself, trying to make his confidence collapse a little more completely.

And Clarkson has no fear at all in the face of Lillard, even if Clarkson knows that he can't win Lillard with the team, but he still has to fight Lillard!

After Clarkson received the ball, he didn't hesitate to shoot directly with three points, Lillard in order to stop Clarkson's fierce defense, hit Clarkson's hand, was whistled for a foul, and the ball went in!

Clarkson played 3+1!

The Lakers bench all stood up and cheered for Clarkson, which shows how united this team is, and everyone knows that Clarkson is not confident in winning Lillard, so they all give him as much encouragement as possible.

Frankly, Clarkson's heart was beating very hard even after he made the shot, and he had never had so much pressure in the game since he entered the league, and he never had the opportunity to play in the playoffs.

"Clarkson hasn't played in the playoffs, and today's game will make him more mature mentally, which is a very good thing for this kid who has no playoff experience." When Luke Wharton saw Clarkson's still serious appearance, he knew his pressure and mood at the moment.

"Damn, it looks like the confrontation with him will have to last for a while, I can't keep guarding him like this, and I've fouled twice." Lillard was depressed and wanted to block Clarkson's shot, causing a bigger psychological shadow for Clarkson, and this time the block was too rushed.

After that, Clarkson played more and more smoothly, and he still went to play his preferred two-point shot.

In the defensive counterattack, after crossing the three-point line, he changed direction to the left, immediately stopped the jump shot, and hit again.

I don't know why, seeing Clarkson's shot, Xie Chen suddenly remembered Curry.

Clarkson's pull-up jump shot is very soft, in contrast, Xie Chen and Wei Shao's pull-up jump shot is another style, that is, the body is tense, stops in the air, looks at the basket and then shoots, they and Michael Jordan's pull-up jump shots are relatively hard.

Subsequently, Clarkson got rid of the opponent with Curry's signature backdribble, and then hit another mid-range jumper!

This shot is more similar to Curry!

It's not that Curry's shooting posture and technical movements are exactly the same as Curry's, but the feeling of the two shooting is particularly consistent. Coupled with the fact that both of them had innocent faces, it made Xie Chen feel this way even more.

Clarkson is getting smoother and smoother, and his technical moves are becoming more and more like Stephen Curry, some of which can really be called Curry's signature moves, but they have been staged again and again in Clarkson.

In this quarter, Clarkson scored 17 points and Lillard scored 9 points, narrowing the gap to 8 points.

At halftime, in the Lakers locker room, everyone was praising Clarkson's counterattack in the second quarter.

Xie Chen asked Clarkson with some curiosity: "You did a good job in the second quarter, but I always had the illusion just now, as if I was watching Stephen Curry play, hehe, is it because you two look too similar?" ”

Xie Chen's words silenced Clarkson, Clarkson seemed to be a little afraid to face Xie Chen, Clarkson was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, Xie, there is one thing I didn't tell you, in fact, I have been imitating Stephen Curry to play." ”

"Oh? Have you studied Stephen Curry? Are you sure? Xie Chen was surprised, he had actually felt this way for a long time, but he didn't say it, today's attack was completely dependent on Clarkson, and the feeling was too strong, so he couldn't help but ask.

Clarkson said: "Yes, since last season......"

Clarkson looked very guilty about Xie Chen, in his heart, he felt that Xie Chen and Curry were the best point guards in the league, and the two were rivals, if Xie Chen knew that Clarkson was learning Curry, not Xie Chen, Xie Chen would definitely be surprised.

Actually, Xie Chen didn't care.

Speaking of which, Clarkson went to learn to imitate Curry to play, or because of Kobe, Kobe Bryant said to Clarkson last season: "You look at how Stephen Curry plays, you have to watch his tapes to learn." ”

Clarkson is very obedient, he really went to study the way Curry plays, but he doesn't have Curry's superb dribbling ability, nor does he have that bt accurate three-point ability, but learning Curry still benefits him a lot.

"No wonder, why didn't you tell me earlier? Stephen Curry is definitely something to learn from, and I won't be jealous because you didn't learn from me, because my style of play is indeed a bit unreasonable and not suitable for you. "Xie Chen is very happy, it turns out that there is a little Curry in the team!

In the second half, the two sides returned to the court again, and Clarkson, who had become more and more confident, was still in good shape, and his score quickly broke 30 points, and even broke 40 points in this quarter!

However, he is not the one who scores the most points on the court, the one who scores the most is Lillard of the Trail Blazers, and Lillard scored more than 50 points in the third quarter!

"Damion Lillard was crazy today, scoring 50 points in three quarters! Today this is going to take 60+ rhythms! ”

"Although Jordan Clarkson is also very good, if he continues like this, whether it is personal data or scores, he will lose to his opponent."

For the Lakers, it doesn't matter if they win or lose this game, even considering the record, they can lose this game completely, but for Lillard and the Trail Blazers, the meaning of this game is too different, which determines whether they can make the playoffs!

If it were Xie Chen, Xie Chen would be so desperate, not to mention 50 points in the third quarter, it is estimated that he can get 70 points in the third quarter.

Although he didn't like Lillard to always talk big in front of him, considering that this might be the last time he would fight against this guy who was as crazy as himself, Xie Chen still stepped forward and praised: "Your performance tonight is very good, and you will continue to maintain it in the future." ”

Lillard didn't like Xie Chen's praise like an elder, and Lillard still said politely: "You are very lucky, let this kid Clarkson be a shield today, with my state today, even if you personally fight against me, you are not my opponent." ”

Xie Chen felt that this guy was really sick, and reminded: "Have you forgotten that I used to be 100+ in a single game?" How many points are you now? You are not qualified to be disrespectful to me yet. ”

Lillard said dismissively: "It was a long time ago, don't mention it again!" ”

Xie Chen was so angry that he couldn't do it, Lao Tzu had only been in the alliance for a few years, and he actually said that it was a long time ago that he cut 100+! It seems that Xie Chen is no longer at his peak.

Xie Chen felt that it was time to teach Lillard a lesson himself, and asked him, "Do you know what my mission is this time?" ”

Lillard knew Xie Chen so well, so he naturally blurted out: "Swipe assists to help Clarkson score and grab rebounds, you are competing with Drummond for the season rebounding champion." ”

"What about the other than that?" Xie Chen continued to ask.

Lillard suddenly thought of something, and his pupils immediately dilated. (To be continued.) )
