Chapter 189: The Strongest Battle
Being seized by Chen Lei to score a goal made Dior a little unhappy, and the task given to him by the coach today was to strangle Chen Lei, Chen Lei's performance was good or bad, that is, his defensive qualification.
In the subsequent defense, it is necessary to inject energy with life, if you can put two arms around Chen Lei's neck and his legs to jam his waist.
"Why do you think like you're taking advantage of him?" Dio covered his mouth a little wickedly.
The appearance of Chen Lei and Crawford gave the Clippers a lot of offensive options, and the happiest was Jordan Jr., because he got more offensive space after the Clippers' attention was released.
Jordan Jr. today became the Clippers' top scorer in the first quarter, sending three free catches and one free throw opportunity in the second half of the game, scoring 7 points, beating Griffin, who scored 6 points, to rank first.
The Clippers 26:31 Spurs in the first quarter, even after several waves of counterattacks, still failed to pull the lead in the Spurs' hands to their side.
In the second quarter, the Spurs changed formation and threw the old Bonner into the middle of the court, and Popovich's bold substitution attracted praise from many people, of course, there were not a few people who watched the excitement, after all, no one knew whether the appearance of the old Bonner at such a critical moment was a blessing or a curse.
"Huh!" In the 55th quarter of the second quarter, Bonner used his own hands to tell people that he was definitely not an old horse without energy, but an old man.
"Huh!" At 1 minute and 31 seconds in the second quarter, Bonner's shot outside the three-point line let people know what it means to be truly old, and at the same time, it also made female fans who have liked Bonner for a long time scream and shout, shouting words like love you, love you, love you, love you.
"Holy!" Chen Lei looked at the old man who was excitedly raising his hands in celebration and glanced at Duncan again: "What era is this?" Could it be that the older you get, the more popular it becomes? β
Chen Lei returned to the court in 2 minutes and 20 seconds in the second quarter, and slapped Dior's shot down in less than 2 seconds, showing his strong defensive spirit.
However, the referee directly gave Chen Lei a foul. Because he is...... Even the one with the ball fanned Dior from the air.
"Saorui!" Chen Lei looked at Dior embarrassedly. Pointing to the finger mark on the right side of Dior's face, "What's the matter?" β
"Fake. You tell me? Dior glanced at Chen Lei depressedly, if he hadn't known that this guy's foul was not intentional, he would have pressed him to the ground and beat him violently.
Where has buddy been angry in the same way? I think that the buddies on a certain street were famous for single-handedly picking up the little overlord group and hugging thousands of enemies, who doesn't know? The former Qianfu is my brother......
Dior walked to the free throw line and started to make free throws, both free throws, but Chen Lei was not beaten in vain.
The Clippers 32:38 Spurs, the Spurs still have the advantage.
"Alright man, it's time to fight back." Chen Lei expanded his chest. He waved at his teammates, "Collison, ball!" β
"Are you sure?" Collison had just taken over the control of the basketball and it was not half time at the moment, and he looked at Chen Lei with verification.
"Naturally!" Chen Lei smiled slightly and winked at Collison.
Collison threw the ball to Chen Lei, and Chen Lei took the ball into his arms at the middle line.
"So far away?" Dior looked at Chen Lei in front of him puzzled, an inside man in the middle line took over the control of the basketball, what is this for?
Chen Lei dribbled slowly, and the Spurs fans at the scene all looked at Chen Lei in puzzlement, and some people began to discuss and speculate.
"I guess he's going to make a three-point shot, you know? This guy has been so far away. Fan A said.
"No, it won't. My guess is that he's going to get a one-handed dunk under the basket, and he's going to have his eyes on the basket. Fan B shook his head.
βnononoγ Actually, I traveled back in a time machine, and his ball was a dunk, yes, but it was a violent dunk that tore the basket with both hands, and the basket was dragged down by him, very yellow...... No, it's violent. Fan C said.
β¦β¦
If Chen Lei knew what people were talking about, he would definitely give them a big red envelope each, and they would all regard themselves as attacking the little overlords, which would definitely be rewarded.
If you want to say that Chen Lei is not as good as Collison in terms of organizational ability, he may not be as good as Collison in terms of outside breakthrough ability, but if you want to say that the ability to advance outside offense towards the basket, he is also one of the best in the Clippers.
Because his advance is simple and rough, he relies on his own body.
Use your body to conquer your opponents.
Dior did not let Chen Lei approach the three-point line, and stopped Chen Lei near the three-point line two meters away.
"Come on man, let me see your three-point ability." Dior clapped his hands and said to Chen Lei.
The offensive and defensive battle between the two fat men did not reduce because of their figures, Chen Lei shook his body left and right, and he was very flexible and shook Dior in front of him.
And Dior's defense also did a good job, and did not let Chen Lei break through, three or four seconds passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Lei no longer insisted but threw the ball to Crawford who ran out of the empty space on the right side.
"Huh!" Crawford hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line and went straight to the basket.
"Why don't you insist? Leaked in three or four seconds? I'm not going to be happy. Dior glanced at Chen Lei with some complaints, and as soon as he found his defense, he felt that he would not attack, unhappy, very unhappy.
Chen Lei spread his hands, "I'm a court magician, and I prefer to pass the ball." β
The Spurs offensive basketball turned around and threw it into Dio's hands, and Dio pushed forward to the basket from the middle distance to hit his back, and the brutal collision made the 20,000 fans at the scene cheer loudly with excitement.
They have the impression that Chen Lei is a murderous and violent insider, and Dior on his side is frantically hitting Chen Lei at the moment, so how can they make them unhappy?
Since Chen Lei entered the league, except for the first few games, it has been difficult to meet players who dare to attack him like this, and since he became famous, people have also known this rookie cow fork, naturally no one wants to play with this guy who is not afraid of tigers everywhere.
Today, Chen Lei is really a little uncomfortable with such a fierce player who hits himself in the back, and Dior's strength is not weak, so Chen Lei was really knocked back by one meter.
"Good fellow, fierce enough!" After coming back to his senses, Chen Lei faced Dior again, and at this moment he just wanted to see how strong Dior's back playing ability was.
When Dior bumped into Chen Lei again, he saw that Chen Lei's strength was much stronger, and he knew that the one behind him had already defended with all his strength, and he was no longer entangled with Chen Lei, Yu Guang glanced back and found Bonner's position, and his right hand swung towards Chen Lei's waist.
Catching the ball, Bonner picked up the basketball and left his hand, and the basketball flew over Jordan Jr.'s head and went straight to the basket.
"Bang!" The basketball smashed to the side edge of the basket and was accepted by Jordan Jr.
"Looks like I'm going to jump shot." Bonner sighed gloomily and turned to run forward.
"I thought you could last a little longer......" Chen Lei looked at Dior funny.
"They're also stadium magicians, okay?" Dior smiled.
"Is it the kind that failed to do magic?" Chen Lei laughed.
"......" Dior.
Chen Lei has a high desire to attack because of his high hand feel and state score. The hope is very strong, and Collison is not stingy when Chen Lei wants the ball, he feeds Chen Lei ball by ball, Chen Lei in the second quarter of the butcher's knife lightly, and scored 6 points.
At 6 minutes and 22 seconds in the second quarter, Paul and others returned, Chen Lei no longer frequently asked for the ball but began to run according to yesterday's tactics, and the end of Jordan Jr. allowed Chen Lei to reach the No. 5 position, and the big forward was Griffin.
The combination of beasts and beasts, a white monster and a ferocious beast, there is only one choice for the Clippers on the offensive end of the two's internal team.
Hit the inside line!
Even if the Spurs could have thought that the Clippers would make such a choice, even if they did a lot of research on the inside connection of the two, it is still impossible to limit the two at the same time.
The mid-to-late second quarter of Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals belonged to the Clippers' interior duo, and the two combined for 17 points in the second quarter to wipe out the Spurs' lead that had been established at the beginning.
At 58:55, the Clippers led the Spurs by 3 points at halftime, while Chen Lei had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the half.
The advantage is not big, the game is a little stalemate, and it is precisely because of this that the fans of both teams are worried.
However, the Clippers also paid a heavy price, Chen Lei was fouled twice by Duncan in the last three minutes of the second quarter, and entered the locker room with a score of four fouls in the half.
Chen Lei's role for the Clippers goes without saying, this guy's energy on the offensive end has become one of the Clippers' most dependent output points.
If Chen Lei's offense was limited because of fouls in the second half, it would be too scary for the Clippers.
"You kid, that's annoying me." Griffin also looked at Chen Lei with some concern at this time, four fouls in the half game is not a trivial matter.
Even if he has the intention of fighting, even if he really steals his position in this game, he must put it aside for the time being, after all, the victory of this game is very important.
Chen Lei smiled embarrassedly, although he was a little worried in his heart, he wouldn't be too worried, as long as he reduced some inside strong hits and confrontations, looking for opportunities in the middle distance, he could still cause damage, after all, his hand feeling today was high enough.
"It's okay, I'm just shooting on the outside at most." Chen Lei saw that several people looked at him with some worry, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't you believe in my strength?" Believe it or not, I opened with three points to keep the Spurs from finding north? β
Paul glanced at Chen Lei, "Little rookie, do you think this is whack-a-mole, only attack?" It's a game of basketball, even if you hit the offense, you still have to face the opponent's defense! Even if you don't go to the Spurs, the Spurs will come to you, and they won't miss an opportunity to put you on the bench. β
"Paul is right, it's not like this hasn't happened before, and it looks like you're the smelly cow dung that will attract a swarm of flies to the Spurs in the second half...... Hey, hey, hey, it's just an analogy, oh, don't hit me in the face......" After Collison finished speaking, he covered his head and looked at Chen Lei resentfully, too violent, can you still play happily?
Chen Lei rubbed his right hand, which had just been a little stronger, and recalled what Paul said, "I take it for granted again?" (To be continued......)
