Chapter Ninety-Two: The Arrogant Rookie
"Attack!" With a yell, Chen Lei threw the ball at Collison, who was running in the front court, Collison had already aimed at Chen Lei's side, and when he saw him pass the ball and raise his arm to successfully enter it, he turned around and rushed away.
In the front court, Collison made a lunge to put the opponent's defensive center of gravity on him, but he didn't plan to shoot at all and passed the ball to Crawford behind him, who made a layup to score the ball.
βyesοΌβ Rivers threw a punch hard and did a good job.
The Clippers are becoming more and more mature, this is a team that is a strong contender for the championship, with young power, superstars in their playing years, and super strong benches, as long as such a team runs in well, it must be a team that makes any opponent tremble.
"The only thing they're missing is tournament experience." This is the only concern in Rivers' mind, such a team is full of momentum, but it is difficult to say whether the stamina will keep up.
This is his first season in Los Angeles, and the team has changed a lot of fresh blood, so if you want to win the championship, you need to absorb a lot of experience and let the players resist the pressure and run-in, so that you can meet a team like the Spurs to ensure promotion.
At the end of the first quarter, when the main players were resting, the second team of the Clippers was not only not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the first team of the Warriors, but the god of war was unstoppable.
This is what Rivers wants to see the most, the main team gets the rest of the game and falls behind, a win-win situation.
Crawford swept away the haze of 2 of 12 shots in the last game and Chen Lei combined to form an offensive double, turning the Warriors upside down at the end of the first quarter, and the two were the biggest contributors to the big score in just a few minutes.
At 36:22, the first quarter put the Warriors' home court directly into a state of silence, and the boos were banned, leaving only lamentation.
"Wow man, this is the rhythm that you don't need to play in the second quarter" Griffin gave a thumbs up to Chen Lei, "Brother, you are the most fierce rookie I have ever partnered with." β
Chen Lei took two breaths, and then took a sip of water: "If you want to be tired, I can't do it?" I don't like you can fight for more than thirty minutes, but it's a good feeling. β
"Hahaha......" Griffin and Chen Lei glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.
Looking at the lively atmosphere of the Clippers bench Warriors fans, they hated it at all, especially Chen Lei's laughter, which made their faces flush one by one.
Not long ago, they were playing with their life's taunts, and now their taunts are not only not as bad as they thought, but extremely good, like the Warriors' interior turmoil stirred up by the wild beasts, so that the head of the inside Griffin does not have to return to the court.
6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, Chen Lei made 3 of 4 in the half-quarter, and his efficiency ranked first in the game.
In the second quarter, Rivers let Chen Lei rest and sent Griffin, and the half-quarter break made this guy full at the moment, and he couldn't bear to rush to the court at the beginning of the game.
"God is so unfair." Jackson looked at Griffin, who was in charge of the offense on the inside, and sighed that the Clippers have undergone a qualitative change compared to the team at the beginning of the season.
With Paul's outside control and two excellent starters and Crawford on the bench, there isn't much to worry about on the outside.
The previous Clippers had their biggest disadvantage being their interior bench, and most of the previous games were supported by the brothers Griffin and Jordan Jr., but God just threw them a fat man who didn't know where to come from, an all-round forward who could do anything.
The appearance of this guy has raised the second lineup of the third, fourth and fifth positions to a notch or even higher, as if it has become where it needs to be strengthened, and the coach no longer has to worry about our competition.
Why can't this kind of good thing fall on your head? Why would such puzzling potential rookies go to competitors?
"The fat man of the other side is completely variable, and if you want to win, you can only rely on your own advantages, not look for the opponent's disadvantages." Jackson analyzed that his own advantage is the comprehensive outside strength that is stronger than the opponent.
Half a minute later, Jackson got up to signal a timeout, and Curry raised his hand to call a timeout and looked at Jackson in confusion.
This is just the beginning, why is there such a rush to apply for a moratorium? Could it be that there is something wrong with what we expressed just now?
"Time is limited to get straight to the point, and the subsequent offensive interior players mostly run to the outside to block and dismantle, with only one purpose to compete for opportunities for the outside players. Iguodala then came out, the team's offense was launched from the outside, Curry, you have to control the rhythm "Jackson nodded Thompson again" Thompson, strengthen the firepower output, just like in the last game, and the defense can't be slack, we are behind the opponent by double digits at the moment, so remember not to let the opponent score lightly. β
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle to signal the timeout was over, and Jackson patted Curry and Iguodala on the shoulders as they watched the players enter the court.
The Clippers also made changes to this timeout, with Jordan Jr. and Crawford all on the court, while strengthening the interior defense and offensive impact.
After the change of formation, the two sides went back and forth to compete on the offensive end, which brought a wonderful offensive feast to the fans on the spot.
However, the efficient offense of both sides also exposed their respective defensive shortcomings, so although the attack was frequent, the coaches of both sides did not have much joy on their faces, but all frowned.
At 3:39 in the second quarter, the Warriors attacked Jordan Jr.'s defensive rebound and threw it to the Paul Clippers to launch a quick counterattack.
"Bang! Poof~" Paul fell to the ground when he was forced by Curry to advance, sitting on the ground covering his feet and grinning with a painful expression, which made the Clippers fans watching this game pinch their hearts one by one.
"Are you alright, brother?" Griffin was the first to run to Paul's side and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it looks like it's twisted!" Paul bared his teeth and shook his head at Rivers, who covered his face with his hands.
"I'm most worried about this situation." Rivers sighed, if there is any problem with the inside line, he can still use Chen Lei to top it, but if Paul has a problem, no one can replace him.
This guy is the equivalent of the battery in an electric car, with him you can move forward smoothly, without him you can only rely on your feet to pedal, but it is very laborious to move forward.
"What are you going to do? Is it a substitution or a continuation? A referee walked to the sideline and looked at Rivers.
"Substitution!" Rivers glanced at Paul and motioned for the two to help him down, and reached out to grab Chen Lei, who wanted to play to support Paul, "Chen, you play, and Collison, replace Paul and Barnes respectively." β
The duo nodded and took off their training clothes and walked onto the pitch, while Paul was helped down by his teammates to be examined by the team doctor.
"Brother, the task is arduous!" Chen Lei glanced at Corrison.
Collison glanced at Chen Lei and smiled slightly: "I can settle it." β
Controlling the ball outside the three-point line, Collison raised his arms high and made tactical gestures, and Chen Lei pulled out from the inside to help Collison block and help the former successfully rush through Curry's defense to the free throw line area.
Chen Lei turned around and ran to the basket after blocking and dismantling, and Collison found an opportunity to send the ball to Chen Lei with a back pass.
This tactic is the most common pick-and-roll for any team, with the follow-up player handling the final offense.
But this also requires the initial blocker to have a good awareness, and secondly, to have a good mid-range and close-range shooting ability, both of which Chen Lei is not lacking.
"Why is this bastard again?" I thought that Chen Lei would feel better if he went to the position of small forward, but I didn't expect this guy to go straight to his strong basket for the first shot, does this guy have an enmity with himself?
Could it be that he slept with his girlfriend two days ago? It shouldn't be, it looks like I haven't opened meat for a long time!
Is that because he doesn't like himself? Although he is handsome enough, he is not handsome enough to be that kind of Cheng dΓΉ!
"Roar~" Chen Lei, who rushed forward, let out a low roar to speed up, one meter in front of David Lee and two meters away was Little O'Neal, at this moment Chen Lei had only one thought in his heart, that is, to smash the ball into the basket.
But just by their own ability, they will never be able to complete the two of them and complete the violent dunk, if they can rush over, they will not have the help of jumping, and if they sprint with all their might, it is absolutely impossible to break through the two, unless they take the initiative to get out of the way.
Although his offense under the basket is invincible, the bounce and weight really can't help him complete this action, and he can't help it, so he can only consume some feel points.
"Crit!" The critical attack skill that had not been used for a long time was ignited by Chen Lei, and he turned sideways and rushed past David Lee and went straight to the basket.
"I'll see how you attack." O'Neal Jr. put away his open hands and closed them in his crotch, he has not moved so far, the purpose is to make Chen Lei an offensive foul.
Looking at Little O'Neill's posture, Chen Lei knows the other party's purpose, he has done this kind of thing himself and more than once, and the response is very simple, that is, to let the other party change this motionless state.
"There it is!" A crazy thought flashed in Chen Lei's heart, and he glanced at the position of the basket and threw the ball towards the basket.
"How did you make a move? How could it be possible to hit so casually? Little O'Neal laughed in his heart, saying that you are a rookie, you are a rookie, and this rebound is mine!
Turned around and watched the basketball fall and smash into the rebound, the angle of the shot was obviously too high, if this ball was okay in the air relay, it was completely impossible to shoot.
Wait, the air relay?
Could it be that this fat man wants to relay in the air?
(Good morning~)
