In the first quarter, Leonard of the Clippers scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting, while James also had 8 points and 3 assists on 3-of-7 shooting.

The Clippers scored 29 points in the first quarter with a duo, but the Lakers scored 34 points in the first quarter.

Wang Feng made 5 of 4 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 12 points while dishing out five assists.

Butler scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, while Ingram and Lopez scored six points each, and the difference in offensive firepower between the two starters was obvious.

In the second quarter of the game, the Clippers replaced Luis in advance in order not to let the point difference be too big. Williams and Harrell were two substitutes.

Although these two came off the bench, they were more outstanding in attack, especially Luiz. Williams, with the top speed of a guard, is also quite good at outside projection.

With the help of the two, the Clippers stabilized the situation, but they were not able to narrow the difference, because even if Luis and Harrellzi played, they were inferior to the Lakers in terms of squad strength, especially although the offensive ability of the two was strong, they were notoriously colander in defense, and it was even more difficult for the Clippers to defend the Lakers' offense.

The two teams battled to 36:35 in the second quarter, and the Lakers won by one point in a single quarter, while extending the margin advantage from five to six points, and both sides were satisfied with this result.

For the Lakers, being able to take the lead on the court and suppress the Clippers' top duo play is considered a success.

From the Clippers' side, in the case of a weak starting lineup, it is enough to maintain a double-digit point difference in the half, and it is completely possible to wait until the bench players come on, use the depth of the bench to chase the difference back, and then rely on the play of two superstars in the final quarter of the game to end the game.

Both sides had their own wishful thinking, and the game went on.

At the beginning of the second half, the main players of both teams rested off the court, and the Clippers relied on the depth of the bench to successfully equalize the difference, but in the playoffs, the bench players did not play for long, and in most cases the main team was still the top, even if the playing time was longer than the regular season, and the physical strength would be a little weak.

Just like Wang Feng played almost the whole game in the first half, and the third quarter of the game only rested for about 5 minutes before he came on the court, which was basically no rest in the game after the preparation, and he played more than 40 minutes in the whole game.

On the Lakers' side, Butler is about the same as Wang Feng and is ready to play at least 40 minutes.

On the Clippers' side, Leonard may be able to handle it, but James can't.

The current James is no longer the peak James who played casually for more than 40 minutes in previous seasons and could still be alive.

So far this season, James has averaged around 36 minutes per game, and his current fitness is almost enough to allow him to maintain a high level of efficiency during this time period.

So when Wang Feng, Butler, Leonard and others began to appear one after another, James was still resting off the court.

Clippers head coach Doc Rivers originally wanted James to rest a little longer, and Leonard had Luis. Williams and Harrell assisted, and there shouldn't be any major problems in the short term.

But he was wrong.

As soon as Wang Feng and Butler came on the court, they teamed up to score 8 points in a row, of which 4 points were scored by counterattacking and fast attack.

The score difference that was finally equalized has a tendency to be pulled away in a blink of an eye.

Rivers had to call a timeout and put James on the line to steady the game.

……

"The Lakers' offensive firepower is very fierce, and after the third quarter of the game, the Clippers were always behind, only briefly tied the score at the beginning of the third quarter, but soon the Lakers took the advantage!"

"However, the Clippers did not let the point difference open too much, always maintained around 5 points, and the third quarter of the game is coming to an end, and the two teams will also enter the final quarter of the game with a 5-point difference."

"As you can imagine, the final quarter of the game is bound to be a fierce battle."

As Yu said, both teams saw the final fourth quarter of the game as a moment of battle for victory!

At the beginning of the game, the Clippers accelerated the pace of offense, James held the ball to face Wang Feng, with the help of teammates to block and go straight to the basket, forced a layup to score and successfully scored 2+1.

Ordinary blocking and dismantling, Wang Feng can handle it now, but this time James used the extreme move of double blocking and dismantling.

After successfully scoring, James came to the inside to receive the ball, singled Wang Feng with his back, and hit a shot with his back to the back, scoring 5 points in a row.

On the other side, Leonard also hit a mid-range shot against Butler's defense.

The Clippers, who were both stars at the same time, tied the difference and even surpassed them by 2 points.

But the Lakers were not sitting still, Wang Feng immediately fought back, with the help of his teammates' blocking and dismantling cover, hit a long-range three-point shot from a step outside the three-point line, and then broke through Leonard's defense with the ball and rushed to the basket, attracting the Clippers to wrap up the defense and pass the ball to assist Lopez dunk.

The physical strength of 99 and the physical consumption reduction effect of the powerful terminator badge allowed Wang Feng to retain more physical strength even in the fourth quarter of the game.

"Damn, won't this guy get tired?"

On the sidelines, Clippers head coach Rivers looked at Wang Feng, who was running fast but not reducing at all, and couldn't help but curse.

In fact, this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.

That's how James played a few years ago, when the Boston Celtics were coaching the Big Three.

Especially in the years during the Heat period, James played at least 44 minutes per game in the series, and only rested for 1 minute per quarter of the game, and played 48 minutes in the game when the game was anxious.

How many years have passed, and LeBron, who was full of physical strength and flew away, has now become his general, but because he is nearly 36 years old, he is no longer in his old glory.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James scored 5 points in a row with a slight edge, but then under Wang Feng's defense, his offensive efficiency quickly dropped.

There is no way, in the first three quarters of the game, more than seventy percent of the Clippers' offense was supported by James, and the defensive end was forced to block and replace Wang Feng, which consumed a lot of physical energy.

And even so, so far in the game, James has already cut a triple-double of 28 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and there are about 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and he can get a big triple-double of 30+10+10.
