Jordan and Noah jumped the ball in the middle line, and everyone originally thought that it would be Jordan who jumped to the ball, but Noah had a better timing. In the end, the Bulls got the first wave of offensive possession.

Hinrich received the ball and reached out to direct everyone to take position. At this time, the person who defended Sun Xiaotian did not make any mistakes with the previous prediction, and it was Barnes.

With Billups, the team's No. 2 player, Grant Hill also riddled with injuries, and Crawford as the team's first substitute, Negro thinks that only Barnes can play this position.

Barnes has brought a rare amount of blood and resilience to the team since he arrived with the Clippers last season. After the baptism of the enthusiastic Warriors, Barnes's fiery temper became famous in the league.

This time, Negro's arrangement of Barnes to keep an eye on Sun Xiaotian can be described as well-intentioned, and it is also enough to see how hot Sun Xiaotian has been during this time-

When Sun Xiaotian came out from the diagonal side to catch the ball, Barnes really "never gave up" to him. Hinrich handed him the ball and went to cover for Tyruld Deng. Ruer Deng also came out of the baseline with the cover of Hinrich, and just when everyone thought that Ruer Deng would catch the ball and shoot, Boozer unknowingly slipped to the bottom line at this time, and it was still unmarked.

After all, Sun Xiaotian had a wide field of vision, and he jumped up directly and passed the ball to Boozer's hands like a guide. Boozer, who received the ball, didn't even think about it, and jumped up directly to make a violent dunk. It was only at this time that Griffin, who was in charge of keeping an eye on him, reacted.

The Bulls scored first, and the opening was a violent dunk, which somewhat made the Bulls a little noisy.

It's clear that Negro is a little unhappy with the team's defense, because the Bulls' offense is not a very complicated tactic, and he needs to remind his disciples to put in.

Looking back, Paul dribbled the ball and everyone was running consciously. Perhaps out of concern, Hinrich stepped forward to press Paul.

At this time, the ball seemed to grow in Paul's hands, and no matter how Hinrich pressed, Paul could stick the ball firmly in his hands.

Suddenly, Paul's body leaned forward, followed by an emergency stop, Hinrich took a few steps back straight due to inertia, and when he reacted and hurriedly stepped forward again, Paul accelerated again, and directly cleared Hinrich.

At this time, there were bursts of exclamations from the Staples Arena, and then looked at Paul, who dribbled the ball alone, facing Ruer Deng who came to make up for the defense, and suddenly a feint of shaking his shoulders from side to side, so that Ruer Deng didn't know that Paul would break through from there.

In the midst of this lightning, Paul suddenly made a 360-degree turn like a top, and reached the Bulls' restricted area in one step. At this time, Noah hurriedly raised his hand and jumped up, ready to block Paul's layup angle.

"How do you know I'm going to go to the basket! Ha ha! Paul muttered silently in his heart.

When Paul turned to the penalty area, he jumped up to Noah, who had already jumped, but then he passed the ball from Noah's armpit to Noah's back, and it was none other than Noah's defender Jordan who received the ball.

This thing didn't even think about it, and directly came to the top of Noah's head, and it sank vigorously.

Paul's breakthrough goal is enough to show that the commander of this team is really not covered. The perfect fusion of human ball, the unpredictable rhythm, just through this ball, it shows that if the Bulls want to win today, they must first think about how to defend Paul!

When Thibodeau saw Paul's attack, he was honestly starting to miss his team's No. 1 a little bit -

The game had been going on for several minutes, and the spectators had not yet waited for the air reception performance they had been craving. In fact, this is exactly what Thibodeau wants to see. Thibodeau told the players before the game that the Clippers were able to play a magnificent aerial reception performance mainly due to their quick transitions. Quick transitions, coupled with a top-notch passer and a bunch of runners and jumpers, the dazzling show begins.

So, the Bulls' strategy is to force them to play positional offense. If you want to talk about the offensive ability of the two teams inside, the Bulls are definitely stronger than the Clippers, although the Clippers have Griffin, but his ability to attack the position is still very rough.

When the ball was in the hands of the Bulls again, all they had to do was be patient and pick-and-roll.

Sun Xiaotian dribbled outside, and at this time, Noah went to the high post to cover for him, and at that moment, Noah came to a reverse run, and Jordan, who was defending him, couldn't react and was directly out of position.

Sun Xiaotian saw the opportunity and hurriedly hit the ground, as long as the ball was in Noah's hands, the Bulls could get two points safely.

However, the ball did not reach Noah, and the ball was cut by Paul in the middle of the game, and Paul was very quick and clean.

Since entering the league in 2005, Paul's appearance has deceived many people. Born with a baby face, many people ignore and even question his defense. However, averaging 2.4 steals per game in his career, he has become a bad guy in the eyes of many players. Being selected to the All-Defensive Team several times also shows that Paul's defensive ability and awareness are excellent.

As soon as he saw Paul steal, out of instinctive reaction, Griffin, Jordan, Butler, and Barnes ran frantically to the frontcourt. Paul dribbles and observes where his teammates are running.

At this point, Hinrich was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what Paul would do with the ball. The Bulls players were originally very jealous of the Clippers' fast break, and they panicked this time.

Paul didn't take a few steps before he made a long pass to Butler. After receiving the ball, Butler was already 45 degrees to the right side, and the defender of his Roul Deng was not yet in place. He suddenly raised his arm and made a shooting motion, and at this time, Sun Xiaotian, who was making up for the defense, hurriedly jumped up to block.

After all, he is a veteran, and Butler's old way makes Sun Xiaotian easily fooled. When Sun Xiaotian fell, Butler threw the ball to the rebound.

The ball flew over Sun Xiaotian's head, Sun Xiaotian hurriedly turned back, and the griffin arrived quickly from the other side of the court.

Charge up, take off.

Griffin leaps high, grabs the ball with both hands, and makes a large windmill-like wheel arm in the air.

"Bang"!

Griffin smashed the ball into the basket with unimaginable power. By the time Griffin hit the ground, the basketball hoop was still shaking.

Griffin's slam dunk ignited the atmosphere in the arena at once, and the fans in the stadium had been waiting for this moment.

When the scene was replayed in slow motion, everyone found that Griffin basically jumped in a flat basket, and his ability to charge was super strong, which also allowed him to make more incredible moves in the air.

In retrospect, the Bulls weren't distracted by Griffin's slam dunk. After still half-time, Hinrich handed the ball to Sun Xiaotian. Sun Xiaotian commanded everyone and signaled everyone not to panic.

Noah still stepped forward to block and dismantle with Sun Xiaotian, and the tactics were the same as the first attack after the opening. Noah's counter-run, Ruhr Deng's feint run. When Sun Xiaotian handed the ball to Noah on the inside, the Clippers, who had already suffered losses, were not careless this time.

Zhi Lifen did not lose his position this time, he stretched out his hands and used his strong body to carry Noah to death. Noah had his back to Griffin, and after receiving the ball and carrying it twice, he followed it with a feint that shook from side to side, then turned to the baseline and came to a hook shot.

But at this moment, a big man jumped high and covered Noah's shot, and it was covered to the frontcourt. Everyone looked at it, it was none other than Jordan.

At this time, the ball was not out of bounds, Barnes got the ball for the first time, and his first reaction was to break fast.

By this time, Griffin was already behind Barnes, and beside him was Boozer. Barnes was attacking fast while aiming at Griffin behind him.

Just as he was about to make a layup, Barnes accidentally hit the ball to the rebound. Griffin, who understood it, couldn't help but say and jumped high. Seeing this, Boozer, who had been by Griffin's side at this time, also jumped up with him, trying to interfere with him in the air.

Unfortunately, Boozer didn't jump as high as Griffin, only to see Griffin jump high from the middle, catch the ball from Barnes on the board, hold the ball with both hands, and smash it directly to the basket.

The two-handed clasp once again stunned the audience, and not only that, but the referee's whistle at this time also sounded. It turned out that just as Griffin was jumping, Boozer hugged Griffin's arm with both hands. And just like that, Griffin dunked the ball into the basket.

"Toot!"

“2+1！！！！”

Boozer fell to the ground with a bang.

Two consecutive air catches allowed the Bulls players to see the power of the air catch city. Thibodeau was vaguely nervous off the court, because the Bulls' airspace had been bombarded indiscriminately by the Clippers, and the loss of air supremacy made Thibodeau hurriedly call a timeout.

At this time, the big screen on the scene kept playing back the previous two empty connections.

For the Clippers, this is just the beginning!
