The Staples Center arena was full of people, the home court Clippers fans cheered happily, leading by 10 points in the first half, the Nets seemed to have little resistance, Paul was still very brave, and the Clippers fans seemed to have seen an 18-game winning streak.

"Who can stop the Clippers? No one," the Clippers' home DJ also hissed in a defiant voice.

At the beginning of the second half, Clippers core Chris Paul took advantage of a cover from Griffin in the high post to get rid of Nets defender Brooks and shoot a jumper.

With a "brush", Paul's half-volley hit the center of the net accurately.

41：53

With 7 of 8 shots, Paul's shooting percentage in this game was as high as ever, and Brooks, the Nets player opposite Paul, was at a disadvantage in all aspects.

And the scariest thing about Paul is not his scoring, as a representative of the league's traditional point guards, assists are his real killer.

"When" the tall man misses a jumper, the Clippers immediately launch a counterattack.

Paul was quick with the ball, and as he approached the top of the three-point arc, Griffin ran out to cover Paul in the high post, at which point Paul's breakthrough immediately caught the attention of the Nets' defenders.

Humphries and Brooks had completely pounced on Paul, who was pretending to shoot after a stop, but at this time, Paul didn't look at a ground-hitting pass, tearing the Nets' defense, and the ball accurately passed to Griffin, who cut inside in the air, and all Griffin had to do was score a layup.

The next few rounds turned into Paul's show, and it was clear that Paul was in complete control of the Clippers. 80% of the team's offense was initiated by Paul.

And Paul and Griffin's blocking and dismantling cooperation is becoming more and more tacit, Griffin pretended to block forward, but at the moment of getting close to Paul, he chose to fake the block, Paul understood, passed the ball with the trend, and with a "snap", the ball went directly through the blockade of the two Nets players and came to Griffin's hand that cut to the basket, and it was a matter of course, Griffin easily made a layup.

A minute later, Paul completed a pick-and-roll with Jordan Jr. on the wing at a 45-degree angle. Jordan Jr. beat Nets center Smith for a dunk.

Defenders tend to break through in two directions after borrowing. This ball Paul did not break through on one side of Jordan Jr.'s block, but on the other side, and the defender Brooks was completely deceived and lost his position.

At the moment when the Nets pounced on Paul. Jordan Jr. cut to the basket. Paul's split between the two was the finishing touch.

As a top point guard. Paul has always been able to play exquisite blocking and pick-and-roll coordination with his teammates, whether it is Chandler in the Hornets period or Griffin and Jordan Jr. now, he has benefited from it.

Halfway through the third quarter. The Clippers went on a 13-5 run to turn the score to 46-64.

The huge difference of 18 points made Nets coach Johnson unable to sit still, and with a "beep", the Brooklyn Nets asked for a timeout.

The Nets' on-court players sat in chairs in a row after getting off the court, panting, and the atmosphere of the away game and the big score behind brought them a lot of pressure, and the Nets were on the verge of collapse at the moment.

Coach Johnson stood in front of the players, first glancing around the players and finally stopping at Brooks, the team's starting point guard.

At this moment, Johnson has a stats table in his hand, which reads: Chris Paul, 7-of-8 shooting, 2-of-2 free throws, scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals.

That's the strength of the league's No. 1 point guard, and in less than three quarters, Paul easily got a double-double and led his players to an 18-point lead.

In contrast, the Nets' starting point guard Brooks, so far, has only scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 2-of-5 shooting, which is very different from the Clippers' Paul.

"Stackhouse, you play, replace Brooks" Coach Johnson suddenly said to the 39-year-old veteran, and then he turned his head to look at the tall and strong: "Da Zhuang, wait for you to take the No. 1 position, directly opposite Paul"

"Me?" Gao Dazhuang was stunned, but in fact, in his heart, Gao Dazhuang didn't think that he could defend against the league's No. 1 point guard who was in such a good state.

Coach Johnson seemed to see Gao Dazhuang's concern, he walked up to Gao Dazhuang and said calmly, "Yes, Paul is the best point guard in the league, their trump card, but you also have your own advantages, if you can't prevent him, then beat him on the offensive end"

Hearing the coach's words, the tall and strong looked up at Coach Johnson, and saw the firmness in Coach Johnson's eyes.

"Keep moving, increase the tempo of the offense, play fast with them" Coach Johnson laid out a new tactical arrangement for his players.

The Nets' substitution and tactical arrangement paid off immediately, and Paul was a little surprised by the tall and strong ball-handling advancement, but he was no stranger to this because he had also played a cameo point guard with the Rockets before.

"Cluster" a beautiful crossing ball, taking advantage of the moment of Paul's surprise, the tall and strong jumped high, threw the ball directly to the inside line with both hands, the ball flew over Paul's head, and passed through several Clippers players, and passed to Starkerhouse, who cut to the basket.

Stackhouse received the ball and made an easy layup.

48：64

"Watch out for defense" Coach Johnson's voice rang in his ears, and the tall and strong man stuck to Paul.

Paul made a push and a counterrun from the tall and strong man in front of him, and the moment he got rid of the tall and strong defense, his teammates also passed the ball to him in time.

After Paul received the ball, he turned around and wanted to shoot, but at the moment when the tall man pounced, there was a "snap", Paul moved laterally, and then followed by a step back and chose a direct jumper.

"Drink" Tall and Strong jumped up and pounced on Paul, trying to interfere with Paul's shot with his height and reach.

"Not good", but the tall and strong man who had already jumped suddenly found that Paul's figure suddenly became shorter again, "feint"!

Paul used two consecutive feints to shake up the tall and strong queen. Facing Gao Dazhuang to jump and shoot again, the referee's whistle sounded, and Gao Dazhuang had to helplessly raise his hands to signal that he had committed a foul.

Paul made a foul successfully!

Gao Dazhuang turned his head and glanced at Paul, he has comprehensive skills, sharp breakthroughs, and has an excellent overall view, "What a difficult opponent" Gao Dazhuang said secretly in his heart.

"Brush" and "brush" twice, Paul hit both free throws steadily, and the fans on the sidelines also cheered for "MVP, MPV".

48：66

was fouled by Paul for an offensive foul, and of course the tall and strong will not stop there. Soon the tall and strong found an opportunity to play Paul alone.

"Puff, puff, puff" was tall and strong and leaned his back against Paul again and again. Paul's thin body was clearly no match for the tall and strong, and in a few breaths the tall and strong forced his way into the paint area.

But at the moment when the other players of the Clippers came to help defend the tall and strong, there was a "snap", and the tall and strong passed the ball to the ground. Again passed the ball to Stackhouse, who was floating around the periphery.

Stackhouse took the ball and made a decisive shot. "Brush" sound. Three-point hit.

51：66

Paul, the league's assist king, is hitting the Nets with his scoring points, while the Nets' top scorer is tall and strong, but he is hitting back his opponent with consecutive assists.

Although the situation on the field was a little weird, the fans on the sidelines saw the smell of gunpowder.

The ball travels continuously and slightly at a different pace between Paul's legs. The sound of "pop", "pop", "pop" makes it difficult to understand Paul's rhythm of ball control.

The tall man who is responsible for defending Paul always maintains a distance of nearly one meter, because his jump shot is weaker than Paul's breakthrough, so the tall man adopts the strategy of letting go of the shot and not letting it go.

"When" sure enough, Paul's shot bounced out of the basket under the interference of the tall and strong, and at this time, the tall and strong were already sprinting to the Clippers' backcourt at full power.

Wallace, who "counterattacked" and grabbed the defensive rebound, yelled and threw the ball hard to the frontcourt.

"Pop" jumped tall and strong, grabbed the pass that ran through the arena with both hands, and quickly rushed into the Clippers' paint zone.

At this time, only Paul was in front of Gao Dazhuang, and in the face of Paul's defense, Gao Dazhuang "held the ball high and hit high", raised the ball above his head with both hands, and directly forced a layup, and made a layup in a crushing manner.

53：66

The tall and strong unreasonable offense boosted the Nets' morale, and with a beautiful 24-second defense, the Nets blocked the Clippers' offense.

And in the offensive, tall and strong are full of firepower.

Pick-and-roll! With the help of Stackhouse's cover, Gao Dazhuang got rid of Paul's defense with an acceleration and rushed straight to the restricted area, and the moment Gao Dazhuang stepped into the restricted area, the Clippers Griffin also attacked from the side to try to make a steal.

Tall and strong had already caught a glimpse of Griffin, but Tall and Strong's speed did not weaken in the slightest, on the contrary, a big stride increased the speed to the extreme again, and when he was half a meter away from Griffin, he suddenly changed direction at a limit, and he was about to break through from his side.

Griffin saw that the tall and strong were about to break through, and suddenly gritted his teeth, moved sideways, and secretly slammed into the tall and strong from the side.

With a sound of "Peng", the bodies of the two slammed together, and in this collision, the tall and strong became the thin side.

The sudden impact force caused the tall and strong body to fly out sideways.

"Toot", the referee's whistle also sounded in time, "defensive foul".

At this time, the tall man who was knocked into the air lost his body balance, held the ball in one hand, aimed at the basket, and shot the ball. With a "brush", the tall and strong fell to the floor at the same time, and the basketball he threw also passed through the net.

2+1！

Before the tall man who fell to the ground had no time to catch his breath, Wallace and his teammates rushed to the tall man and pulled him up from the floor.

Although Paul also played well in the following games, as a point guard, he was still weaker in lethality than the tall and strong man with full firepower, and the Nets gradually narrowed the score.

In the last 10 seconds of the third quarter, Stackhouse received a pass from a tall and strong man and dipped a shot to the basket, which was suddenly in chaos.

Stackhouse drew the defensive attention of several Clippers players and passed the ball to the tall man in the back row in the confusion.

After receiving the ball, the tall and strong man roared angrily, took off with the momentum, and smashed the ball to the basket with both hands, and at this time, Jordan Jr., the Clippers center closest to the tall and strong, immediately jumped up to meet the game.

With a loud bang, the tall and strong man in the air bowed his waist, turned sideways, rotated 90 degrees, and after avoiding the block of "Air Tyrant" Jordan Jr., he smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Ah" after the goal, the tall man roared excitedly, and slammed his fist into his chest with one hand, and pointed at Coach Johnson on the sidelines with the other.

71：72

With a slam dunk from the tall and strong, the Nets trailed the score to just one point at the end of the third quarter, and the situation suddenly became confusing. (To be continued......)
