Chapter 168: Fat Man Shameless!
"Boy, did you fight me today?" Griffin put his arm around Chen Lei's shoulders and said with a smile: "Score with me?" You kid did it on purpose, didn't you? ”
Chen Lei pursed his lips, "What are you talking about...... Who's with you? I'm just for the team, for LA and for the highest honor in the West......"
"Don't be weird when you speak, why are you so weird in English pronunciation after you've been in the United States for so long? Don't try to change the subject! Griffin recalled the half-time count of the two sides just played on the center screen, "If I'm not mistaken, you're 15 points in the half, right?" Isn't it frustrating that it didn't exceed my 18 points? 3 points, a three-point thing, why don't you work hard? ”
15 points? Chen Lei was stunned, he didn't expect that today's score was quite high, 15 points at halftime, it seems that there is basically no suspense to break 20 today.
"What's the hair? Please answer my question positively. Griffin's playful eyes were filled with curiosity, but also with a hint of wariness and anticipation.
"I don't have such a strong desire to attack, it's just that the basketball was in my hands at that time, and the timing was just right to subconsciously attack" Chen Lei's words made Griffin feel a little relieved, but he then said, "But it's only 3 points away to be able to ...... No, it should be the highest in the audience, and it's really a little depressing. ”
"You kid......" Griffin gritted his teeth and looked at the fat figure who pushed the door open, this guy really cared about the number of individuals, wouldn't the status of the team also care?
So how can he live with himself as he grows? Could it be that the two of them are really going to walk the same rhythm?
Chen Lei is different from Jordan Jr., even though Jordan Jr. is named the third Clippers giant, Griffin does not feel the slightest threat from Jordan Jr.
First of all, Jordan Jr. is a center, and the position is different from himself. Secondly, his importance is not in the offensive aspect but in the defense, in the final analysis, it is more beneficial to the team to complement himself, but Chen Lei is different.
Chen Lei's biggest role is the offensive side, and it is also an interior offense, he is enough to explode in the basket area to break out the terrifying offensive ability, but his height limits his best position is the No. 4 position, which is his own position......
"Why are you looking at Chen's back with affection?" Davis walked around Griffin and patted Collison on the shoulder, "I said brother, this isn't the first time, right?" ”
Collison rubbed his chin and thought for a few seconds, "It looks like it's been five or six times, but it shouldn't be, is this the unrequited love in the novel?" ”
"Isn't that right? Isn't Griffin like women? Davis picked his head, "But if he doesn't like Chen Lei, he won't look at his back and ponder?" ”
"By the way, don't you know that some people like not only women but also men?" Collison gave Davis a blank look, "It's the twenty-first century. All kinds of people have it. ”
"It turned out to be sauce purple. It was an eye-opener. Davis looked puzzled, "But wouldn't it be hard work?" ”
"Of course it's hard, and it's painful." Collison looked at Griffin sympathetically.
"......" Griffin's face was already covered with black lines on the back of his head, and he turned his head stiffly to look at the two teammates next to him who were talking, "You two...... Bastard! ”
Collison and Davis immediately ran into the locker room when they saw that this was not good, and Griffin chased after him with a strange roar.
There was a 'comfort' moan in the home locker room at the Staples Center. The sound of groaning and 'popping' slapping. It has not been dispersed for a long time.
Inside the away locker room. Popovich raised an eyebrow as he looked at the technical statistics of the first half in his hands.
"This rookie didn't expect that the power he played in the fifth position was not weaker than the fourth position. This guy is a natural offensive player under the basket. Popovich said with interest, "It's just a little lower, otherwise it's definitely the new O'Neal, the new inside overlord!" ”
In the second half, the Spurs still did not change their strategy, and continued the tactics of the first half. Seeing that Chen Lei and Griffin were present at the same time, they did not choose to collide on the inside line, except for taking advantage of the vacancy from time to time to score a ball on the inside, they still shot at medium and long distances in most cases.
Popovich's idea is very simple, he doesn't believe that Chen Lei and Griffin can keep that hot hand on the inside, and he doesn't believe that the two can stay on the court and go crazy.
The first half of the third quarter didn't allow the Spurs to find much of a chance, and although the score wasn't widened, it wasn't much narrower, and it was always between 6-10 points.
Fans have begun to talk about it, some people say that Popovich's tactics of continuing the first half are completely old-fashioned, some people say that Popovich is digging a hole for the Clippers, but Popovich can't hear their discussions, of course, even if he hears it, there is nothing to do.
At 7 minutes and 32 seconds in the third quarter, Popovich's expression that had not changed in that quarter of the game finally had a hint of upward curve, and the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared.
Clippers Chen Lei led the team in the rest game Griffin and Jordan Jr., Jordan Jr. has played more than 2 minutes in the third quarter, compared to the first half of the table Xiàn has been much better at least the rebounding guarantee is stable, more than 2 minutes to gain 3 rebounds, gradually showing power.
But even if Jordan Jr. slowly entered his role, Popovich didn't care, and with a big wave of his hand, Parker made tactical gestures to strengthen the breakthrough.
Parker glanced at Jordan Jr. and Griffin on the inside, didn't the coach say that if the opponent's interior supercore is in this game, try to attack under the basket as little as possible? Besides, even if little Jordan has a cold, his defensive ability should be better than that fat man, right?
Despite his doubts, Parker continued to execute Popovich's tactics in earnest, gesturing at four teammates to break through to the basket, and the others were aware of it, and the spectators were in the middle of the court as they ran.
"Whoosh~" Parker flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Leonard, who caught the ball and rushed towards the basket.
Leonard didn't blindly rush and kept paying attention to the Clippers' defensive situation, seeing that Jordan Jr. and Griffin didn't pull out the interior and didn't seem to intercept him, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter, but he still squeezed towards the basket.
Putting the ball in his right hand, Leonard began to step in the three-second zone, glancing at Jordan Jr. and Griffin left and right, seeing Griffin from the left side of the block, he couldn't help but lean to the right, and at the same time quickly threw the ball out with a flick of his wrist.
"The direction is right, the strength feels very good, this ball, there is!" Leonard secretly rejoiced in his heart, this first shot under the sudden basket will give the Spurs a good start, not bad.
Leonard was overjoyed when a huge figure also walked into the air, in Leonard's surprised gaze, little Jordan like the bright moon in the sky became the focus of his eyes, picked up his big black slap and slapped the basketball he threw out, at this moment Leonard suddenly had a thought in his heart, as if there was little Jordan's defense, the Clippers inside line is his insurmountable barrier.
"Smack!" A crisp sound came out, and the basketball was firmly covered by little Jordan.
A hat in the middle of the ten rings!
"Beautiful~" Rivers smiled happily, this hat is so beautiful, "Little Jordan is Little Jordan, even if he is unwell, the defensive ability of the interior line has not been weakened much, the only pity of such a high-quality interior line is the lack of offensive ability, even if he has the ability to attack the middle distance like a big baby, he will become a feared superstar." ”
Little Jordan also found some of his past form after a hat, and today's game has been aggrieved for a long time, and he is naturally very happy to finally find an outlet.
"That's what it feels like to be on the pitch." Jordan Jr. smiled happily, twisted his neck to look at Parker, who picked up the basketball that was fanned out by himself, and waited for a new round of attack from the Spurs.
Even if Jordan Jr. put an end to the Spurs' breakaway with a hat, the Spurs didn't change their tactics, and they weren't afraid to let it go.
"It's not the first time I've encountered a difficult inside line, it's not a big deal." Leonard shook his head and shook the shadow of Jordan Jr.'s hat out of his mind and into the offense.
Still inside sprints, unchanging assault arrows, Popovich's stubborn tactics began to pay off after a minute.
The margin was not very large at the end of the third quarter, and the difference was directly reduced to one point at 11 minutes and 12 seconds in the third quarter.
The Clippers were in charge of the offense, and Paul dribbled the ball across the half court with his tired body and gave it to Crawford to look for opportunities from the outside.
After going around the basketball and passing it back to Paul, even if he has outstanding singles ability, he will not rush to shoot if he is not sure at the moment.
"Chen~" Paul passed the ball out, and the basketball fell into the hands of Chen Lei on the edge of the penalty area on the left side.
Looking up at the timer, Chen Lei held the ball with both hands and did not rush to act, and at the same time let Dio come to him and stand in a better defensive position.
"It's a real disappointment that I didn't play you in the regular season, you're a good opponent, really good." Dior looked at Chen Lei in front of him and observed Chen Lei's expression as he spoke, but what made him depressed was that Chen Lei's face did not change in the slightest.
Originally, he tried to try to break the ball when Chen Lei was a little relaxed or gave any other response, but Chen Lei did not give him a chance.
"Brother, there's no need to be so strict, this is the Western Conference Finals, not everyone can come to the stage, it's necessary to come here to compete, but it's also necessary to enjoy, enjoy here, enjoy this stage." Dior continued to chatter, but Chen Lei suddenly moved at the moment.
The immobility in the early stage was not to consume time, Chen Lei was mainly to let Little Jordan fall into the deep position of the basket, and Chen Lei rushed towards the basket on one side.
Dior followed Chen Lei to move his body, but he tried the side force of Chen Lei's huge body again, and the urge to vomit blood rose from the bottom of his heart, and he secretly cursed, "Fat shameless", and turned around and chased Chen Lei.
How could Chen Lei give him a chance to intercept him again, gritted his teeth, his legs were full of strength, and he accelerated to the basket two meters below the basket for the second time, and his eyes were aimed at the basket from time to time, giving people a scene that his goal was to attack in person.
