Chapter 81: The End of the Season

This game is not only exciting for Chen Lei, but also for others to be very good tonight.

This game can be described as a night of superstars.

On the Thunder's side, Durant had 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Westbrook had 25 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, and Jackson scored 18 points.

On the Clippers' side, Jordan Jr. had 13 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks, Griffin had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, and Paul had 29 points, 7 rebounds and 15 assists.

A wonderful matchup came to an end, with a small difference of only 2 points, which is the most stalemate between the two teams in recent matchups, and both teams need to be analyzed and sorted out after the game to further improve the team's offensive and defensive system.

After the victory over the Thunder, the Clippers ushered in a two-day rest and continued to play at home against Saramento's Kings on the 13th.

In this game Rivers put Bullock on the inactive list and removed Ryan from the team's squad. Hollins activated.

The fouls of Jordan Jr. and Davis in the last game made the team extremely passive, and this time Rivers activated a center to see if he had what it took to play in the playoffs with the team.

Crawford, the sixth man who had been absent for many days in this game, also returned to the team, and the Clippers, who had been strengthened both inside and out, did not give the Kings a chance at all, and beat the Kings back to Saramento 122-101 to reap a victory.

In this game, Chen Lei scored 19 points, and the cumulative score of upgrade points just reached 50 points, and he obtained 1 promotion point.

Like last time, throw him on three points.

The confrontation in the playoffs will be strengthened, and Chen Lei also intends to add upgrade points to the body, but his current 75 body lĂŹ can still ensure that the body will not lag behind when the playing time is less than 30 minutes.

So he still added to the long-range attack, striving to make his long-range offensive ability more or less lethal.

The long-range offense became 49, a small step away from a three-point player who could barely take a shot, and a dozen upgrade points away from a player who had a slight offensive threat.

On the 16th, the Clippers hosted the Denver Nuggets, and the Clippers, who lost to the Thunder, were beaten again, and the Nuggets were beaten back to Denver with a score of 117:98.

In this game, Chen Lei's playing time was the highest in his career, and he played a total of 36.2 points as a starting small forward, which can be regarded as exhausting the energy of every cell in his body.

At the end of the game, he leaned directly on his stomach in front of the commentary table panting, looking like he was prostrating.

However, the effort has finally paid off, and Chen Lei's 17 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists in this game have also refreshed his career rebounds.

"Exhausted!" After washing, Chen Lei glanced at his teammates who were as big as himself, walked out of the locker room, walked out of the stadium along the passage, and went straight to the bus.

Instead of resting, they got on a plane to Portland, where they will fly straight to Portland for the next game against the Trail Blazers, where they will enjoy tomorrow's day's sleep, so they will spend the night on the plane.

In the final game of the season, challenge the Trail Blazers.

"The last battle, and then the playoffs, hey rookie, are you looking forward to it?" Griffin saw Chen Lei dozing off in the locker room, and couldn't help but step forward and push his arm, looking at Chen Lei jokingly.

"I want to sleep, it's not noisy...... Chen Lei patted Griffin's hand, got up from the chair and sat down in the closet, closed his eyes and continued to rest.

"......" Griffin blinked, shook off the black line behind his head, brushed aside the clothes in Chen Lei's closet, and sat beside him, "Playoffs, aren't you looking forward to it at all?" ”

"What to expect?" Chen Lei picked his eyelids, "It's the same as the regular season, it's not a game yet, it's just that the opponent is always one." ”

"......" Griffin rolled his eyes, Chen Lei stopped paying attention to this boring guy, and pulled Little Jordan on the side and began to pull.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of back-to-back experience, Chen Lei's rest today is not good enough, he yawned again and again before the opening, and Rivers inhaled cold air when he watched.

Chen Lei's role is vividly reflected in the progress of the game one by one, this guy is already an indispensable part of the team's crime, and he has been tightly buckled into the team after nearly two months of running-in, and the Clippers offensive end without him will be greatly reduced.

So this guy is now also one of the team's health-focused players, and the Clippers are very serious about the health of this guy.

"This guy looks very experienced in the game, and he seems to be very sophisticated, but why can't he adapt to the common thing of back-to-back games?" Rivers looked at Chen Lei curiously, and shook his head when he saw him yawn again.

Because it was the last game of the regular season, Rivers did not consume too much of the team's combat power, and the player rotation was more frequent, and the role players got more opportunities to play for the final experience.

The first half was not very efficient, and the final score was fixed at 45:40, and the Clippers held a narrow five-point advantage.

The two sides who returned after halftime did not let the game continue to be dead and cold, Lillard took the lead in rushing into the basket and dunking, igniting the offensive fuse of both sides, and the third quarter entered the moment of confrontation.

One on both sides scored 38 points in a single quarter, the other scored 33 points, almost gave up defense, and all of them attacked the opponent's basket fiercely, and the third quarter ended 78-78, tied at 78:78.

This quarter of the game belonged to Crawford, with a game-high 15 points in a single quarter.

However, at this moment in the game, people found one thing, the scene originally wanted to see the magic fat man who hit 70% of the three-point shooting rate on the opposite side suddenly became invisible today, and only 3 points were scored at the end of the third quarter, and an inside empty basket dunked the other ball was 1 of 2 free throws.

"What happened to our Da Lei?"

"This fat man doesn't look so fierce, it's all blown out, right?"

"And the Apache? I think it's a little bee. ”

The fans at the scene were talking about it, Chen Lei shot 1 of 7 in the first three quarters, and completely became the team's soy sauce emperor.

"Ah......" Chen Lei yawned big, his body was still a little tired, I don't know why his body was a little weak today, and he couldn't figure out why.

I wasn't tired last night, and I had enough time to sleep, but today Chen Lei just didn't have the strength, even at the end of the game.

In the fourth quarter, Chen Lei did not appear on the court in the fourth quarter, which was the first time in more than ten games that Chen Lei did not appear on the court in the fourth quarter to form a double-fat combination with Davis.

In this game, the fans gathered in front of the Internet in China saw that Chen Lei was hidden at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and when Chen Lei did not appear on the court in the middle of the fourth quarter, the fans who supported Chen Lei all exploded, did Rivers lose trust in Chen Lei?

No one can give this answer.

Chen Lei did not play until the last moment of the game, and Chen Lei was pressed on the bench by Rivers in the key quarter of the fourth quarter.

The cameras in the field will also give Chen Lei close-ups from time to time, Chen Lei's eyes are swollen and his face is blank, showing haggardness, and of course, there is obvious helplessness.

At 110:104, the Clippers' season finale didn't take away the victory.

(In the final chapter of this volume, the regular season is over, and the playoffs are up next!) )
