Chapter 68: The Road to Filling the Pit
"I want to do my best to repair my weak B capital!" Chen Lei decided to upgrade the point in the future and smashed it the three points.
Within half a minute of returning to the locker room, Chen Lei was called out by Rivers, who led Chen Lei to the infirmary and asked the doctor to check him again.
Chen Lei's leg has recovered eighty or ninety percent, and there is no big problem with his leg, but the one or two percent is not good because Chen Lei forcibly stimulated him with cold ice and then went to exercise vigorously.
"It's not too much, but Chen just played so that he didn't fully recover, I suggested that he have more rest in the third and fourth quarters, of course, the last game has no effect, I think you understand what I mean." The doctor gave a conclusion very responsibly, continued to wrap Chen Lei with ice cubes, and asked Chen Lei to go back to the locker room to rest.
The fierce battle in the half made the main players of the Clippers wear down, and most of them sat on the ground to recover their bodies, while the calmness of the Mavericks was obviously different from that of the side, and they were all spewing anger.
"These bastards, I have to tear these guys alive in the second half!" Dalem Potter clenched his fists with a cannibalistic expression.
"That's right, it's too aggrieved, you must make them look good!" Ellis snorted, also expressing his dissatisfaction with the Clippers.
The locker room door opened, and coach Carlisle walked in, laughing at the angry players.
"Don't be discouraged, the first half of the table is already very good." Carlisle clapped his hands, but did not criticize the team.
In his eyes, the players in the first half were very good, who would have expected to kill a Cheng bite gold halfway, and dedicate 13 points in a row to let the Clippers complete the overtake.
"But we still didn't get the lead." Nowitzki spread his hands and said helplessly, "This is the truth. ”
"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that I see your fighting spirit." Carlisle shook his finger, "The second half is the real moment of battle, no one will always be brave, and no one is destined to be suppressed." Although the Clippers completed a comeback in the first half, it can be seen that they are really tired, basketball has been guided by that rookie fat man, and in the second half, we can completely strangle this fat man. ”
Everyone heard Carlisle talk about Chen Lei's eyes turned green, yes, it was that hateful fat man.
Carlisle's tactical arrangement is completely defense-oriented, and the most important thing is to prevent Chen Lei and prevent the fat man who led the team to complete the overtake in the second quarter.
Chen Lei didn't know that he was really targeted, and at the moment he was snoring in the locker room with ice cubes and falling asleep......
In the third quarter, Rivers did not rush to let Chen Lei play according to the instructions of the team doctor, and the Mavericks' tactical arrangement was a little frustrated, but no matter who the target was, he was right.
"Crazy ......" Chen Lei, who was sitting on the bench, opened his mouth slightly in surprise, looking at the outside firepower of the Mavericks who completely broke out in the third quarter, and couldn't help but feel that his task was fortunately not in the third quarter, otherwise it would definitely not be completed.
The Mavericks' advantage gradually increased, and at 8 minutes in the third quarter, they couldn't help but overtake the score, and the lead on their side also widened to 9 points, completely disrupting the rhythm of the Clippers.
"Damn~" Looking at the physically exhausted disciple Rivers, he had a kind of intention to give up, at this moment the victory of the game does not have much impact on the Clippers, the most important thing is that there can be no accidents, and he must ensure the health of each player in order to make the playoffs.
But this is not to the point of no return, and it is a pity to give up.
"Huh!" Just as he was hesitating, Paul scored the ball with a layup, which caused a foul on Carter and got a free throw.
Paul successfully won 2+1 and narrowed the gap to 6 points, and Rivers also waved at Chen Lei and Collison at this time, signaling the two to prepare to play.
Chen Lei also rested for a long time, and the team doctor asked him to rest more, so he let him play for about three minutes per quarter, which was not long.
"If you don't let me play, my hands will be rusty." Chen Lei twisted his neck, "I'm lagging behind again, it seems that I'm going to play the savior again." ”
"......" Collison.
"Brother, can we die if we don't brag?" Collison rolled his eyes at Chen Lei, "I remember that you were quite humble when you first came to the team, but now your skin is getting thicker and thicker." ”
Chen Lei responded with a big smile from Collisson, and the two walked to the technical station to report, handing over to their teammates after the Mavericks' offense was successful.
Rivers put Chen Lei in the middle of the court to strengthen the team's offense, and Chen Lei did not disappoint Rivers, and returned to the court with a mid-range shot to bring 2 points to the Clippers.
Chen Lei's current hand feel number is 66, and he slept in the locker room when his teammates warmed up during halftime, so this touch did not improve.
But he has an advantage on the inside at the moment, and Blair, who is opposite him, is a big fat man who moves slower than himself, and this is not as tall as himself, Chen Lei also found an overwhelming advantage in the position of big forward for the first time.
Blair's tonnage is not much worse than his own, and it is not easy to knock him away, Chen Lei played on the inside and began to break through to the basket.
"Huh!" Use your feet to rush from Blair to the basket and make a backhand layup.
"Huh!" In the end, Chen Lei shot in the middle distance, this time the basketball was not so obedient, but in the end it fell into the basket.
Seeing Chen Lei's continuous success, the Clippers' offense invisibly began to move closer to Chen Lei, and then a sad thing happened, Chen Lei was rejected by the basket for two consecutive shots, and hit the iron twice in a row.
At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers trailed the Mavericks by 7 points at 88-95 and were outscored by 12 points in the first quarter.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Chen Lei and Davis led the team to play, Davis made two consecutive shots for the Clippers to narrow the difference to 3 points, and then the Clippers ushered in the iron moment, and the fatigue of the body after fighting for three quarters of the game was completely reflected at this moment.
Whether it was Chen Lei, who was brave before, Davis, who scored two goals in the opening game, or Barnes, the shooter who was thrown into the court by Rivers not long after, all had a kiss-like contact with the basket and waved goodbye and went their separate ways, and the Mavericks seized the opportunity to stretch the difference to 10 points in one fell swoop, making the Clippers fall into a passive place.
Rivers failed to pull the point difference back several times when he changed the lineup, even if the Clippers' hand began to recover, but the Mavericks' hand was already hot and red, you attack me and I attack, this point difference will naturally not be narrowed.
"Let's all come down and rest~" The difference was widened to 13 points at the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and Rivers decided to give up the game.
The players are already tired, the playoffs are coming soon, and there is no need to fight so hard for a regular season.
Put Granger and others, who have not played in this game, and the game is officially announced to be garbage time.
In the end, the Clippers lost to the Mavericks 106-115, ending their four-game winning streak, and the Mavericks also strengthened their eighth place in the East.
The Clippers first destroyed the Timberwolves and Suns, and then lost to the Mavericks, which indirectly helped the Mavericks a lot, so when the Mavericks left the game, they were doubly grateful.
"Chen, come with me to the post-game press conference!" Rivers patted Chen Lei on the shoulder, and Chen Lei nodded happily.
In this game, Chen Lei led the Clippers to complete the counterattack in the second quarter, and came off the bench in the whole game to score 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, scoring the second and third assists on the team, and is one of the best players on the Clippers team.
The pre-game promotion point score accumulated to 33 points, and Chen Lei scored another 23 points in this game, adding up to more than 50 points, and the promotion point got 1 again.
With a toss, the upgrade point was added to the long shot, and Chen Lei's long shot number became 48.
"This qiē is all filling the hole I dug before!" Chen Lei sighed helplessly, he didn't like to shoot three points, but the score before this was too low and had to be improved.
(This pit is indeed very big~)
