Chapter 278: Jumping high is not necessarily a good thing
The game was still in full swing, but the confrontation between the Heat and the Clippers in the second quarter was much milder than in the first quarter.
If the first section is a combination of ice and fire, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, then the second section is at most sleet in early spring, sometimes accompanied by a few hailstones falling from the sky.
Except for the opening Chen Lei and Griffin who continued to fight hand-to-hand on the inside for three minutes, that is, the two violent dunks of Jordan Jr. in the middle and late stages are still a bit ornamental, and the rest of the time both sides play jump shots most of the time, as if they want to compete who plays the most beautiful in this basic offensive method.
Both sides had a reduced hot touch in the first quarter, and the Clippers also took the opportunity to play a wave of counter-attacking shows to overtake the score at the last minute.
At the end of the half, the Heat 55:58 Clippers, the 3-point difference entered halftime, the difference was not large, but the leader would still be in a good mood.
"I don't know how many people will be hit in the face in this game, whether the Heat win or not, Chen today is perfect." Van Gundy looked at Chen Lei's personal count, and then looked at the black man who supported Griffin on the side, "Bill, your Griffin is far less efficient than Chen." ”
The black man called Bill pouted, "Okay, I'll admit this fat guy is in good shape, but it's only halfway through the game." ”
In the first half, Chen Lei scored a total of 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-of-8 shooting, including free throws, while Griffin also had 14 points but consumed 11 shots.
Although Griffin has 2 more blocks and 2 more points than Chen Lei, Chen Lei's almost 100-shot feel is still more attention-grabbing.
"Haha, Bill, that's not right. Chen is so efficient in every game. Second. It's not far off. The old man also laughed, he and Van Gundy both liked Chen Lei, how could they let go of the opportunity to catch Bill.
"No, no, no, you'll see a difference." Bill shook his head, still holding on to his judgment.
Van Gundy and the old white man smiled at each other, and then continued to talk about other topics.
In the locker room of the Heat team, Chen Lei and other Clippers veterans did not feel relaxed.
At half-time, they were still behind their opponents, and although there were not many points, it also showed that the efforts of the first half were in vain.
They need to win. Desperately longing.
It's not a preseason game, most of the preseason games are based on tactics, and that kind of victory is nothing, what they need is a real battle in the regular season.
"In the second half, it looks like it's going to take a little more energy." Chen Lei leaned back on the wardrobe to make his body as comfortable as possible, "Guys, what's the best thing to build?" ”
"One word,!" Little Jordan glared.
"Go, go, don't be so violent, I'm still inclined to shoot them, with outside fire. You must know that Redick's three-point deterrence this year has been greatly reduced, and he is no longer the intimidating guy he was last year. Collisenti said.
Being on the same team as Redick showed him how important Redick's three-point shot was to the Clippers. This guy is a bit out of fire this season, which can be a bit of a point for the Heat to take advantage of.
"Yes, I also agree, Chen's three points are extremely murderous." Anderson clapped his hands.
Others echoed one after another, although Chen Lei's three points are rarely shot, but when he comes out of the sheath, he will see blood, which is already a place that all the generals of the Heat admire.
Chen Lei wiped his cold sweat, "Bosh and Lefu and other big forwards also have good three-pointers, but have you ever seen relying on their three-point as a regular tactic to chase points?" ”
"I've seen it!" Anderson blinked, and there was no hint of cuteness in the look against the beard and tattoos.
It's weird.
"Please, I'm the inside, I'm the power forward, won't I be empty when I come out?" Chen Lei continued to find a reasonable reason.
"We have the tactics of playing three big and two small, you must know that this year's we are not as good as last year, and now we have a lot of inside warriors~" Anderson continued to reply.
"......" The corners of Chen Lei's mouth twitched slightly, especially when the others nodded in agreement.
"It seems that the big guys have a good fighting spirit, and they have begun to study tactics." After Si Shuai walked into the locker room, he heard the conversation between Anderson and Chen Lei, and looked at Chen Lei with some curiosity, "Chen, do you want to shoot more three points?" To be honest, your three-point shooting is really good, you can shoot appropriately, and don't be in the fourth quarter every time, could it be some reason? ”
Chen Lei was secretly bitter in his heart, nonsense, if Lao Tzu hadn't been bitter, he would have knocked them over with three points in a row.
The long-range attack score is too low, and there is still a shot without a critical hit, but in the confrontation, unless God lets himself hit the luck again, it is no fun at all.
"Coach, you also know that I love the inside, and I can only find the feeling of three points if I play well, so I basically don't shoot three-point shots, even if I usually train and I don't shoot, it's all because of this." Chen Lei said nonsense, "So I'd rather be an inside line that only makes a basket offense, and I don't waste every opportunity, only when I feel that I won't waste the right shot, I will fire outside the three-point line, which is why I maintain such a high three-point shooting rate." ”
In the dressing room, there seemed to be several golden halos flashing behind Chen Lei, and small golden stars flashed in the eyes of others.
"I see!" Si Shuai nodded, "Then it won't be difficult for you in the second half, we choose to raid!" ”
There was no change in the starting points of the two sides in the second half, but the Heat's offense used Rohr Deng as the arrow, and the target was the Clippers' interior line.
For the Clippers, Chen Lei and others can be regarded as knowing the best, so Si Shuai also asked the opinions of several of their Clippers veterans quite humanely, and Chen Lei and others naturally would not object.
The Clippers took the lead in attacking, Paul assisted Evans to make a mid-range shot, and the Heat 55:60 Clippers, the difference widened to 5 points.
"Here!" Collison dribbled past the half, Chen Lei asked for the ball outside the three-point line like a decent one, and as soon as he received the ball at the top of the arc on the right side, he touched the nerves of everyone in the Clippers court.
Two meters away from the 45-degree angle of the three-point line on the right side, Chen Lei has created countless miracles in this position, and even the last time the two sides faced off, Chen Lei also used the Clippers' trust in him to cheat a three-point foul, this guy only needs to catch the ball here, whether he shoots or not, he is the nail in the eyes of the Clippers players, and it is the most eye-catching nail.
"I'm obedient, brother, you won't want three points, right?" Griffin looked at Chen Lei, who was holding the ball in his abdomen with both hands and making a gesture waiting for an opportunity to break through, and squatted slightly with his hands open and stared at him tightly.
"How do you know?" Chen Lei's body moved suddenly, his legs bent after his right leg retracted and landed, and at the same time, he lifted the ball above his head and his body began to slowly rise upward.
"Fack!" Griffin roared like a rocket, and just as he was proud of his explosiveness and bounce, he found that Chen Lei was getting farther and farther away from him.
"Fack!" I cursed again in my heart, I was deceived by this fat man. (To be continued......)
