Chapter Twenty-Four: You Come and Go
The game entered the 5th minute of the second quarter, Winnie the Pooh gradually felt cold under Billups' defense, and at this time the situation on the court was still dominated by the Clippers, George Karl still replaced Miller Sr. after a timeout, and then replaced Farid and Kufors, and the Clippers had Griffin and Jordan Jr. sitting inside, and Butler playing the No. 3 position.
In this Christmas war, the Clippers and the Nuggets both adopted the tactics of dual point guards, but the Clippers have already made up their minds to let Chauncy defend Winnie the Pooh, and the little guy was particularly embarrassed by the Flounder in a period of time just now, Del Negro will not let go of this opportunity when he sees that the effect is so significant, and at this time the Nuggets saw that Luo Yun had been restricted, and also gave up the tactics of using the breakthrough to chase points, and began to let Farid play alone on the inside, and also replaced Gallinari, To be honest, the handsome Italian guy will definitely be more than a notch higher than Chandler if he plays in form, so George Karl is also ready to start playing from the two points of Farid and Gallinari in the second quarter.
Sure enough, after changing the offensive strategy, the situation on the court became fun, Farid asked for the ball to single Griffin under the basket, Luo Yun cut to attract the defense, and Gallinari swam outside the three-point line, which directly pulled the Clippers' defense away.
Offensive and defensive switch, Paul slowly advanced to the front court after taking the ball in the backcourt, Griffin saw this and immediately pulled it out to do a block, at this time the old Miller did not dare to force too tightly for fear of being passed by Chris, however, even though the old Miller had paid great attention, but when Griffin pulled out, Paul still used the gap to break through the middle, and Frid wanted to step forward to help defend but was blocked behind Griffin's butt by turning around.
A beautiful pick-and-roll combination managed to send Paul to the free-throw line, although Loyun had already rushed in from the wing. But Chris was unhurried and moved sideways. Dodge Luo Yun's defense and shoot directly near the free throw line!
"Bang!" Basketball smashes on the hoop. Koufors and Jordan Jr. also jumped up at the first time to grab the frontcourt rebound, but just after the two jumped, the basketball stumbled and fell into the basket, and Chris Paul hit a two-pointer.
Luo Yun looked at CP3 in front of him a little helplessly, the latter also looked helpless, looking at the scene in front of him Luo Yun had to get up and return to the defense, and let the old Miller take the ball across the front court.
is still in the ground, but just when people thought the Nuggets wanted to play steadily, Farid, who was originally stuck in front of Griffin, suddenly turned around and cut to the basket. At this time, the old Miller also took advantage of the situation to bypass Paul and hoist the ball into the inside, and then saw Farid soaring into the air, and the scene suddenly exclaimed, the air relay, the Nuggets are still unwilling to be lonely!
However, when Farid was about to get the ball and smash it into the basket, Griffin came out of nowhere, and with a wave of his big hand, he directly threw the falling basketball out of front of Farid's eyes, and the orc also pounced. Seeing the fans in the stadium, they gasped.
At this time, the flying basketball was still spinning in the air, and Little Jordan on the side also rushed out at the first time to grab the rebound. As soon as he made a shot, he found that Kufus actually flashed in front of his eyes and held the basketball directly in his arms.
"Wow!" There was another exclamation at the scene, and Kufos did not hesitate after taking the ball, and poured it to the old Miller who stepped forward to answer, Paul wanted to step forward to break it but it was too late, and then he saw the old Miller pass to Luo Yun under the empty basket, the little guy took the ball and went to the basket, but as soon as it started, it was like hitting a mountain, but Luo Yun did not stop moving, and immediately turned around and threw the basketball back!
"Drop!"
The referee's whistle sounded, and Griffin had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, watching Luo Yun go to the free throw line!
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Two free throws hit steadily, although the little guy didn't attack much during this time, but the free throws were also stable, and the Clippers seemed to be a little impatient with the Nuggets, but they were still much ahead at this time, so stabilizing the position is the primary factor.
Immediately afterwards, the Clippers attacked, Paul took the ball and waited for his teammates to fall into position, and began to attack the inside with the ball, and the continuous feints shook the old Miller into deceiving him and turned over directly to make a jumper, but the basket did not give face at all and bounced it out, Farid saw this and immediately squeezed away a Griffin to get the rebound in his hand and then it was a long pass to the outside to counterattack, and then when the half-orcs shot, Butler, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly jumped out, and quickly hit two points with a throw after breaking the ball, and Farid also got a mistake again.
But at this time, George Karl unexpectedly replaced Coopers and put Javier McGee, to be honest, Coolfors has played quite well so far, and McGee may not have done a good job when he comes up.
However, just when everyone thought so, McGee directly terminated the rumors with a turnaround split, after the Nuggets landed the old Miller to the outside of Luo Yun, the little guy took the ball and smashed into the basket to attract the double bag and then quickly distributed the ball to Javier McGee under the basket, this thing stiffly sat down with little Jordan to the basket, and then suddenly got up and turned his back around Jordan Jr., and the basketball changed from left hand to right hand, and smashed it directly into the frame.
"Bang!" A slam dunk brought the Nuggets a little closer.
As time went on, the score between the two sides also became 38:46, and the Clippers maintained a large lead in the back-and-forth encounter, while the Nuggets were able to grab one and try to narrow the score.
In the second quarter of the game, Miller Sr. and Billups went off the court almost at the same time, and Winnie the Pooh also returned to the PG position, and Iguodala was on top of SG, so this substitution immediately had an immediate effect.
Luo Yun brought the ball to the front court and handed it directly to Iguodala at the top of the three-point arc, and he began to slip to the bottom corner of the three-point arc, Paul didn't dare to be careless when he saw this, without Billups' presence he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Winnie the Pooh, where Luo Yun immediately posted it when he started, and at this time Iguodala also began to seduce Willie Green on the outside to pull out of the gap, and the Clippers still used two or three defenses after falling into position.
After a few seconds of repeated dribbling, McGee, who was originally under the basket, immediately pulled out of it, Iguodala immediately accelerated to break through from the left side of Willie Green, McGee also quickly turned around and cut to the basket at this time, and Jordan Jr., who was originally in the restricted area, also formed a bag with Willie Green to limit Iguodala's pass, a typical blocking, the Clippers' defense suddenly tightened, and for a while all the people near the free throw line were crowded.
However, at this moment, Iguodala suddenly jumped, and the basketball in his right hand flew directly to the outside, and at the same time, Luo Yun, who was originally in the bottom corner of the left three-point corner, also ran back to the 45-degree angle at the first time, and did not hesitate at all after receiving the ball.
The basketball instantly turned into a beautiful arc to shoot the Nets, and the fans in the audience once again saw Winnie the Pooh's strange three-point shot, which was almost out of his hands almost before Paul was about to pounce.
"Huh!"
The sound of a beautiful entry into the net resounded across the court, and the number of the scorer also jumped, and at 41:46, the Nuggets successfully narrowed the score to five points with a three-pointer.
Another timeout, this time the Clippers replaced Willie Green, who had just been on the court for a short time, and then sent Crawford, Del Nigro still decided to steal points at the critical moment in the second quarter, Crawford's recent form has not been good so he has not let him play before, but now it is better to try.
Sure enough, Crawford made a contribution as soon as he came up, hitting a two-pointer directly in the fifth second quarter of Zuihou, and the two sides ended the first half of the game with a score of 41:48.
Although the Nuggets trailed, Winnie the Pooh became the top scorer on the court, scoring 17 points at halftime, and if it weren't for Billups' interference in the second quarter, maybe 20 plus halftime would not be impossible.
"Okay, little one, you can't be depressed at Christmas, that girl is good just now, and if you take the initiative, she will definitely spend a wonderful night with you tonight!" Iguodala smiled and patted Luo Yun's shoulder, and then pointed to Dakota Fanning in the audience, who also seemed to notice his gaze, looking at Winnie the Pooh with a lonely face, and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, it seems that a melancholy man is the most able to arouse a woman's commotion heart, not to mention a handsome Chinese guy.
The little guy gave a white look after hearing this, to be honest, he has no interest in these women in the entertainment industry at all, he doesn't understand that these people always have to associate themselves with those things, you must know that he is very pure, and he already has Jessica, although it is Christmas, but he is still honest, otherwise Na Nizi will definitely fight with him.
Iguodala was bored and didn't say anything more, and the players returned to the locker room, and the Nuggets had a bit of a fire in the first half, so they had to get back on the court for the rest of the game.
George Karl didn't bother again in the locker room, and to be honest, he was also annoyed that Weishenme would play on Christmas, David Stern's old guy should let the Heat play with the Lakers, not let the Nuggets come all the way to Los Angeles, these young guys on the team have already pushed off a lot of dates for the game, and a little resentment is inevitable, but they must win the opponent tonight, you must know that the San Antonio Spurs behind them are only one win away from them, If you lose, you won't be able to keep the position of the second in the west!
