Chapter 155: The third section of the confrontation

Chen Lei picked up the basketball and ran to the sidelines to throw the ball to Paul, and then quickly rushed to the court.

After halftime, Paul didn't stop and rushed to the basket quickly, as if he wanted to rely on his own strength to make a backcourt dragon, and the Spurs were nervous inside.

Dior's mind struggled to make up for Paul, and after he was away from Chen Lei, Paul passed the ball quickly and threw the ball over.

"Smack!" The crisp sound of touching the ball came out, and Chen Lei successfully took Paul's pass.

Two meters away on the right is Parker, who is quickly rushing towards him, and two meters behind is also Dior who is about to pounce, Chen Lei will not be kind enough to wait for the two to approach, and dribble the ball towards the basket.

Duncan was the only one left under the basket, and in the face of Chen Lei, Duncan had to pull out to make up for the defense, and if he was allowed to pass, the basket behind him would be destroyed.

took two steps forward to stop in front of Chen Lei, and Shifo Duncan stood on the opposite side of Chen Lei's defense for the first time.

Chen Lei was slightly excited in his heart, and he rushed towards him as he saw the century-old legend in front of him.

"Bang!" Chen Lei's body slammed into Duncan's arms, this was not a lover's embrace, but a fiery collision between a comet and the earth.

"What a beast!" Duncan was hit by Chen Lei and stumbled, and Chen Lei's body was not at all something that the aged Duncan could contend with.

Although I really want to respect the old and love the young, Chen Lei can't do this on the battlefield, because respect on the court is to fight against the other party with all his might.

"Huh!" Reaching the basket is not something Duncan can stop, even if he is experienced, he can't resist the behemoth that sprints up, and Chen Lei's pick-up that dodges Duncan's attempt to block hits again.

In the first meeting between the two, Chen Lei won.

Chen Lei's offensive stability is the stick of the Clippers. It's also Rivers' greatest confidence in letting a rookie dominate the offense.

After returning in the second half, Chen Lei did not disappoint Rivers under his frenzied offensive desire, and Chen Lei scored 10 points in 5 minutes in the high-scoring area several times. Helped the Clippers close the gap to two points at 65:67.

The Spurs chose to take a timeout, and naturally gave their praise to Chen Lei Rivers without hesitation. And Griffin, who played the role of soy sauce for a few minutes, was naturally extremely dissatisfied.

Nearly halfway through the third quarter of the game, in Rivers' opinion, Chen Lei's amazing performance must occupy most of the topic in the Spurs' tactics, so he made adjustments to the lineup to replace Chen Lei and release Griffin back to the No. 4 position.

On the Spurs bench, Popovich was indeed arranging Chen Lei's defense, and after asking Leonard and Dior who had been broken through by Chen Lei, Popovich still handed over this task to Dior.

Dior is relatively stronger, and his speed is faster than Chen Lei, and they say that the best way for Chen Lei to use his body to crush is to open the distance. It can also prevent Chen Lei's sudden start, and combined with all factors, Dior is the most suitable candidate.

But at the end of the timeout, Chen Lei did not return to the court, but Popovich was not annoyed by this.

The Spurs' offensive system, Parker, has long been familiar to them, and even if most of the tactics he has just laid out are temporarily lost, he is not worried about the team's surprises at all.

Moreover, he believes that Chen Lei will appear sooner or later, so although the tactics are temporarily in vain, they will still be useful.

"A cunning opponent." Popovich looked at Firth, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. But in the blink of an eye, it dissipated into the air.

In the middle and late stages of the third quarter, the game was white-hot, and both sides were very efficient offensively, as if they had agreed to give up defense.

Chen Lei replaced Jordan Jr. two minutes later at center, and the Clippers sent the strongest offensive lineup.

Paul, Crawford, Reddick, Griffin, Chen Lei. The five-man offense is enough to strike fear into every team's defence.

Popovich frowned slightly, glanced at the scoreboard, which still led by six points, glanced at the five players of the Clippers, and tapped his chin lightly.

"Dior. Leonard, appearance! Popovich whispered. looked at the two people on the bench who had just dried up with sweat.

Although the two were still a little tired, they couldn't hide their joy when they were called, and they walked to the technical station to report and returned to the venue.

Facing the Clippers' strongest offensive lineup, Popovich did not have the confidence to rely on his second team in the court to protect the advantage. Although he himself is a little stubborn, he still doesn't dare to challenge.

"Huh!" Back on the court, Leonard was the first to send his own score to help the team stretch the score to eight.

Paul burst through Redick's three-point line and pulled it into the air, facing Green's defense without fear, and steadily threw the orange ball in his hand.

"Huh!" Three points of shabu-shabu entered.

The Spurs counterattacked, Mills threw to Green, who pushed the ball straight to Leonard, broke through two steps, Leonard handed the ball to Dio, and in the face of Griffondio, he quietly flashed his sword and shot in the middle.

"Huh!" There was a crisp sound, and a smile appeared on Dior's face.

"Huh!" The Clippers countered Paul with an empty Griffin, but he had little chance to pass the ball back to Paul, Paul stepped back and jumped half a meter outside the three-point line into the air, and the decisive three-point brought a crisp sound of running the net.

…… In the second half of the third quarter, fans watched the wonderful scoring shows of the Clippers and Spurs and cheered, but Popovich was angry and angry.

Defense has always been the heaviest part of Spurs' training, and how can there be defense in the field now? This is completely following the footsteps of the Clippers in the offensive competition, where is the shadow of a strong defensive team?

To say that Popovich thinks like this can be regarded as wronging his precious disciples, it's not that the Spurs don't have defense, but they can't stop it at all.

The Clippers' lineup can't stop even if the opposing league defensive lineup gathers together, and their offensive ability has found its way with the offense just now, just like five Gatlins with full firepower shooting at the same time, destroying the one in front of them.

The Spurs gradually became a little dumb in the last two minutes of the third quarter, and the Clippers took the opportunity to directly overtake the score in one go, leading the Spurs 92-90 at the end of the third quarter.

"It's crazy, is the Clippers all livestock?"

"This should be the strongest lineup of the Clippers, right? Are we going to reap a defeat today? ”

"Let's play our No. 21, we believe Duncan!"

"It's just 2 points, you can do it, come on~"

…… The fans in the court were surprised and discussed, and they were also looking forward to their team's wonderful performance in the fourth quarter, even if the Clippers' fourth quarter table was amazing, most Spurs fans were still full of confidence in their team.

The madness of the half-quarter game brought the score to overtake, but it also paid a great price, and the core of the Clippers has bottomed out, and at the moment they are all as relaxed as possible to recover their bodies.

"You guys!" Rivers looked at the five people who had just gotten off the court, "Sue sΓΉ you pass the ball, you have to say that it is to imitate the Spurs, what is the imitation?" The most important thing is to be able to win. ”

Rivers' words made everyone Qiqi ashamed, and at halftime, Rivers initiated a vote that also focused on sharing the ball as the core of the offense, and everyone except Paul and Chen Lei voted against. (To be continued......)
