Chapter 121: Fierce Battle Thunder

The third game between the two sides started on the 10th, this time finally back at the Staples Center, and Los Angeles once again ushered in the second round of the playoffs.

In the past, only the Lakers played this role, and the Clippers only returned to the playoffs in the past three years, and this year, fans in Los Angeles can only watch the Clippers, and the Lakers' injury lineup did not win a playoff spot.

Today's Sterling time is getting more and more fierce, and more and more people from the outside world are starting to let him get out of the NBA, and there are also many buyers bidding, but Sterling has always insisted on not selling the team, and the matter has been put on hold for the time being.

Of course, this matter is difficult to affect the Clippers at the moment, and they have only one goal at the moment, which is to do their best to win this series.

"Take a look, our rookie now has a MVP call of 46.3%, wahahaha, brother, it's amazing!" In the home locker room, Davis looked at the MVP vote on the Clippers official website on his phone, although Chen Lei's second game with the Thunder was not good, his support rate still did not decrease, but increased.

Paul is still second in second place at 29.2 percent, while Griffin and others are not in the double digits at all.

Davis's laughter attracted the attention of others in the locker room, and although Griffin and Paul and others also had smiles on their faces, they were still uncomfortable, not because the rookie of the atmosphere had robbed him of his position, but because he was a little lonely to pay so much for the Clippers and not get the support of the fans.

The NBA is a big market and a big dye vat, few fans will always support you, most of them like a team and like a player, just like if you change teams, most of the original fans will not pay attention to you anymore.

Therefore, there is no one in this world who will always support you, and the replacement who will come from behind will never stop, and you can only get the recognition of the fans if you make yourself better and better.

Of course, we're talking about the fans who like you because of the team, not the fans who like the team because of the people.

The Clippers and Thunder are currently tied 1-1 in total, and both sides urgently need a game to stabilize the situation, and the fighting spirit of the players on both sides has soared to the extreme before the game has been developed.

Today, Chen Lei's two change attributes are very good, the warm-up just now became 86 points, and the state also has a high score of 85 points, although it has not reached more than 90 points, but it is already very good.

Rivers made some changes to the starting lineup today, Chen Lei no longer started but pulled Barnes to the starting small forward position again.

Although Chen Lei's small forward position table is not bad, it is indeed a big gap compared to his threat on the inside.

Therefore, it is better to let him waste his body in the opening than to use it as an inside mending stone, so that the Thunder's inner line is under pressure all the time.

This is more conducive to Chen Lei's personal performance, and it is also conducive to Barnes and Griffin to bloom their energy.

"It's kind of interesting!" Looking at the Clippers starting lineup played on the central screen, Brooks rubbed his chin, Chen Lei's starting tactics that continued for several games were actually abandoned by Rivers today, and here Firth made himself more and more incomprehensible.

The Thunder's starting lineup for this game promoted Jackson to the starting No. 2 position, although this position is basically a starting switch between him and Sefolosha, but when he enters the starting lineup, the Thunder have only one plan, offense.

Since last year's playoffs, Jackson has effectively topped the second day of the Thunder in the absence of Wei Shao, and this year it has gradually become the third sprint arrow of the Thunder.

Jackson's style is a little similar to Wei's, and their personalities are not much different from the team name, thunder, thunderous and resolute lightning.

Both sides sharpened their blades and waited for the opening moment of the game.

In the opening jump ball, Jordan Jr. once again made a meritorious contribution, slapped the ball to his own half to give the Clippers an offensive opportunity, and the third game between the two sides was completely started.

The Thunder are still mainly on breaking, but the Clippers opened up from the outside today, and the three-point points of Redick and Barnes were like God's help, and the two frequently threw in three-pointers, and the game led by as many as 7 points at the end of the half.

When Chen Lei appeared, he was replaced by Griffin, and the white monster was very reluctant to be replaced like this, but he still returned to the field honestly.

7 minutes and 22 seconds in the first quarter, the Clippers 22:15 Thunder, the fans at home saw the efficient players playing such a beautiful game, and they all bubbled with sweet water from the bottom of their hearts.

Back on the field, Paul took the lead in throwing the ball to Chen Lei, and Chen Lei, who received the ball, hit Ibaka but did not succeed, and the first shot missed.

"The defensive pressure has increased a lot!" Chen Lei glanced at Ibaka, who picked up the rebound, this guy's defensive strength is really extraordinary.

The Thunder seized this opportunity and relied on Adams, who came off the bench, to score a goal, and at 22:17, the Thunder narrowed the gap to five points.

"Come on man, aren't you the best rookie insider? Come and show me your offensive abilities! Although the Thunder were halfway through the first quarter and had the advantage, Ibaka played his own rhythm, handed out two blocks and grabbed four rebounds at the end of the half, and completely found his best shape.

A few days ago, I was beaten several goals by this fat man, and today Ibaka is planning to fight with this fat man again.

"I'm powerless, you have to know that this ball is not in my hands......" Chen Lei was about to find a reason to prevaricate the past, but before he finished speaking, Paul threw the ball to himself again.

"This ......" Before he finished speaking, the other party provoked himself to find an excuse for not having the basketball in his hand, but now, the basketball is in his hand.

Then do it!

Without saying much, Chen Lei started to attack directly, and Ibaka met him fearlessly, and the two of them were in one place about four and a half meters away from the basket.

"Bang!" There is no extra fancy action is a brute force collision, Chen Lei pushed back Ibaka to start his attack, but Ibaka did not retreat much under the collision, but there was an extra layer of redness on the black face.

With all his strength, he fought with Chen Lei, but Ibaka still withstood Chen Lei's first collision.

"This special is all about the rhythm of life!" Chen Lei knew that it would be difficult to push to the basket in this way, so he simply changed his tactics, and used his own close-spin breakthrough method when he hit it for the second time.

Leaned his strength on Ibaka, who had all his strength before to allow himself to block Chen Lei's impact as much as possible, so Chen Lei's rotation with his strength was just right, and he didn't give Ibaka a chance to shift his focus to make up for Chen Lei.

Rush by!

Chen Lei's small-range footwork speed taught Ibaka a good lesson, which is his advantage in the No. 4 position, and he flexibly uses the fat man of his body.

"Huh!" Adams' supplementary defense made Chen Lei lose the opportunity to dunk, and threw the ball to the basket with a light pick.

At 24:17, the difference widened again to 7 points.

Paul stretched out his right hand at Chen Lei, and Chen Lei, who returned to the defense room, also reached out and slapped the two together, and quickly ran towards the backcourt, ready to deal with the Thunder's attack.

Chen Lei's offense is the most stable part of the game, and it can also be said that the Clippers are the most stable link, although this is very abnormal in a rookie, but it is an indisputable fact.

For Chen Lei, he knows his most advantageous offensive area, combined with his feel and state to shoot, and then makes reasonable use of critical hits to have a hit rate of more than 60%, but in the eyes of others, this rookie offensive end is surprisingly calm and accurate.

In the second half of the first quarter, Rivers replaced Paul with Collison and Crawford's partner Chen Lei and others, and Chen Lei started to attack.

He believes in Chen Lei, and believes that Chen Lei will maintain a fiery hit rate no matter who he faces.

Of course, the Thunder team is not defenseless, and the key defense is also put on the inside, and what is guarded against is Chen Lei's offense.

The spear against the hard shield happened to touch one place.

After playing a few balls, seeing that the opponent's defensive shields were all beckoning to him, Chen Lei began to use his body to squeeze out the gap to pass the ball out again and again, and the effect was not bad, and the Clippers scored 36 points at the end of the first quarter and limited the opponent's score to 28 points.

At 36:28, the Clippers led by 8 points into the second quarter, so that the atmosphere of the live fans at the Staples Center was always active.

"Pretty brothers, good, good, good, good......" The Clippers on the bench stood up to welcome their teammates from the court, Griffin muttered a high-fived to the crowd and stood aside.

He now has more and more resentment in his heart, and he is not sick or painful and let himself sit in the middle of the field for nearly half a quarter, did I do something wrong before?

Why Does A Rookie Fight That Long At The Power Forward Position? I'm the team's veritable second-in-command insider, okay?

After Chen Lei came on the court, Griffin calculated, hit 3 of 5 shots, scored a total of 6 points, only 1 rebound but also 2 assists, much worse than himself.

Griffin scored 11 points and grabbed three rebounds in the first quarter, and although he is currently bald, he has one steal, and this rookie still has some way to go compared to himself.

"Hey...... but what can I do, I still sat on the bench for about five minutes, and if this continues, when he is more mature next season, won't his playing time be shorter?"

Such a thought rose in his heart again, and the worry in his eyes when he looked at Chen Lei was even stronger.

In the second quarter, Griffin returned to the court, and although it was only a few minutes away, it seemed to him that it was as long as a century.

Returning to the court with him was Paul and other main forces, led by Wei Shao Durant on the Thunder side, and it didn't take much to break through, and both sides rushed towards each other's interior lines, creating greater lethality.

"Huh!" Durant took the pass from the old fish Fisher and took the lead to the basket to break through, and at the same time caused the foul of the big baby to go to the free throw line, his free throws were still rarely disappointing, and he steadily hit the free throw 2+1.

Durant's touch gradually regained in the second quarter, and the scoring champion of the regular season finally found his form this game.

In the second quarter, Durant led the offense and scored three consecutive goals to narrow the gap to three points, and if it weren't for Paul's timely three-pointer, the Clippers would not have been forced to draw by the opponent.

At 3 minutes and 32 seconds in the second quarter, Chen Lei was replaced by Barnes on the court, and played with Griffin, Jordan Jr., Paul and Redick.

The Clippers led by two points at 43-41, but fortunately controlled the offensive possession of this ball.

Paul held the ball and advanced to the halfcourt, and then ushered in Wei Shao's defense, and the two fought on the outside for several rounds, and Paul threw the ball sideways to Redick.

After receiving the ball, he stepped back and raised the ball above his head to make a shooting feint and shook Jackson, seeing that the latter was not fooled, Redick had to pass the ball to Chen Lei outside the three-point line at the top of the arc on the right side.

"Bang~" Chen Lei rushed to the three-point line to hit the mid-range shot Griffin, who missed the jumper in the free throw line in the middle.

"Smack!" After passing the ball, Chen Lei, who entered the basket, jumped high to accept the rebound, glanced at the basket one meter away, and his hands were full of strength, and the green tendons were faintly visible.
