Chapter 277: The Trophy That Can't Be Put Down (9700 Words Chapter)
What is it like to go from a super center to a blue-collar toolman?
Howard felt terrible, the Los Angeles city derby was very concerned, and before the game, Howard wanted to teach Andrew Jordan of the Clippers a lesson about how a super center plays!
As a result, after the end of the first quarter of the game in the United States, Howard lost his smiling face and couldn't help complaining on the bench:
"I need to attack in the low post! I can blow up the idiot who knows how to jump, Hey Man! I need some chances! ”
"Do your pick-and-roll! I'll take you to win! ”
Hearing the complaints of his teammates, Kobe, who put down the kettle, glared at Howard, wiped his sweat with a towel, and then stopped talking, just staring coldly at the upcoming rotation players.
When Howard heard this, he was almost blown up, he is a super center, why should he do blue-collar work?
Just wanted to complain again, but was pulled by Gasol, and Steve Nash also began to act as a peacemaker, which did not exacerbate the conflict.
Coach Mike Brown felt that the team was completely out of control, and several people on the court did not play according to his tactical requirements, but seeing that Kobe Bryant was 4 of 7 in the first quarter and scored 12 points, the black bread was not good to say much.
At 32:23, the Clippers, who were playing away, easily led the Lakers by 9 points in the first quarter, and Ray Allen, who was rotated on the court, played very well in more than three minutes, hitting two three-pointers.
And the most satisfying thing for Coach De Nagro is the defensive attitude of PJ Tucker, who rarely gets a chance to start, Tucker spares no effort on both offensive and defensive ends, and does a very good job of covering, defense, and rebounding.
"The Lakers need to step up their defense and slow down the pace of the Clippers, Kobe Bryant played well in the first quarter, but other teammates need to be involved in the offense, and Kayce seems to be doing better!"
Steve Kerr's view has always been that superstars should fit into the team, rather than playing four on one hand, and from his personal experience, that view is really compelling.
"4-of-7 in the quarter, including 1-of-1 three-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws, and scored 11 points efficiently, Kayce really played well, and Chris Paul also sorted out the Clippers' offense very well, and everyone on the court touched the ball, which is very important!"
Reggie Miller's words are not very polite, but as far as the situation on the court is concerned, the Lakers do have too many singles, and superstars certainly have privileges, but role players are not robots, and they can't touch the ball for half a day, so it's difficult to ensure their own condition.
Commentator Kevin Harlan heard that the two still wanted to comment on the Lakers' performance, and quickly shifted the topic to the rotation lineup:
"Steve Blake, Darius Morris, Antoine Jamison, Jordan Hill, Dwight Howard, what do you think of the Lakers' bench depth this season?"
"The rotation is good, and I'm sure Howard will get more opportunities!"
“...”
Li Ze was bumping fists with his teammates who were about to play, and when he saw the solemn expressions of Turyaf and Ryan-Hollins, he immediately encouraged each other:
"We are nine points ahead, even if the opponent plays the inside, as long as the response ball is played, the form on the court will not change, take it easy, bro!"
Compared with Li Ze's encouragement, Chris Paul on the other side began to tell the new Eric Blasso:
"Don't give Blake a chance to organize an attack easily, the defense presses, don't let the opponent pass the ball to Howard easily, pass through the halfway line, go up and interfere immediately."
Coach De Nagro is pleased with the atmosphere in his team, having coached Derrick Rose and being able to speak up more than a stuffy player, is more conducive to the unity of the dressing room.
The coaching staff usually don't intervene in the dressing room, and if there is a conflict, it is up to the players to resolve it.
The Lakers' No. 1 position has always been problematic, and Steve Blake is indeed a role player with good all-round strength, but the gap in athleticism has made him less than satisfactory against Blesse's defense.
Howard was going to kill when he came on the court, but found that his teammates had difficulty passing, and every time he got into a good position, he either passed the ball too early or was interfered with by the half-wound front defense and couldn't get the ball.
Although the Clippers' rotation lineup has average outside projection ability, Jamak Lawford does not need too complicated tactics, with pull-up jump shots after blocking, bells and whistles dribbling breakthroughs, and standing on the free throw line from time to time.
Although Crawford had an average hand tonight, when the second quarter entered the official timeout, the margin on the court was still 9 points, and Li Ze threw the towel three times off the bench, and the performance was also very good...
As for the Lakers' super center, he only got three shots, which also made this big man who loves to laugh almost scold his mother directly, really treating him as a blue-collar worker?
Said that after playing, he will focus on this point?
Staples Arena, I can't tell whether it's cheers or boos, in short, the fans who like to watch the fun are in a very good mood, it doesn't matter if you win or lose in the regular season, it's the most important thing to have fun!
If the Lakers' bench plays directly, then this game will not only be a bloody ticket, but the two regional broadcasters of Time Warner and Fox Sports will wake up with a smile in their dreams.
Coach De Nagro saw Kobe Bryant walking to the technical table and preparing to play, and immediately patted Li Ze on the shoulder, and in tonight's game, the two are basically the same.
With 4 minutes and 58 seconds left in the second quarter, the two teams once again got back the main lineup, and Jordan Jr. was completely restrained by Howard tonight, and the game has not eaten a single cake so far.
The Clippers attacked, and Paul had just dribbled past half court and immediately motioned for Griffin to pick up the ball from the three-point line and then direct Tucker in the bottom left corner to move to the right.
When Paul moved to the bottom left corner, Li Ze on the left wing quickly started, and received a hand-handed pass from Griffin outside the three-point line.
This set of tactics is very simple, the core is to let Li Ze get a chance to play alone at the top of the arc, at this time he can call Jordan Jr. to block and cover, or he can choose to play alone.
Even if he was forced to stop the ball, Paul on the left side could immediately come out to pick it up and reorganize the offense, and after a few games, the Clippers' coaching staff found that giving the ball to the strongest man on the court was the best tactic...
Seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his left hand, Kobe Bryant lowered his defensive center of gravity and stared at Li Ze's movements, and the fans at the scene began to coax, and the star was heads-up, which has always been everyone's favorite.
Li Ze, who was outside the three-point line, suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, accelerated directly with the ball in his left hand, noticed that Kobe Bryant slid backwards, quickly crossed the ball and pulled it back, and then shook his body to the left front, and at the same time his right hand snapped twice extremely fast in place crotch dribble.
Pull back and stop and shake, Kobe's defensive center of gravity just shifted backwards, Li Ze instantly exerted force under his feet, easily retreated to the three-point line after closing the ball, completely shook off a position, and quickly jumped at the top of the arc!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
Staples Arena suddenly erupted in huge cheers, although it took less than 5 seconds for Li Ze to shoot from receiving the ball, but the fans at the scene saw Kobe Bryant shaking in place, and they subconsciously shouted.
Paul, who had just run to the bottom corner, turned around and saw Li Ze easily throwing in a three-pointer, and he was in a good mood.
He can dictate what kind of tactics to play in each round and what kind of tactics are more reasonable, but basketball still needs to put the ball in the basket at the end of the day.
Good tactics don't mean you can get points, in last year's playoffs, the Clippers were all soldiers, but in the end they were shot to death by the unreasonable Kobe...
Howard on the court saw Kobe's angry eyes, and immediately knew that in the last few minutes, he had to transform into a tool man again, and sure enough, in the next round, Kobe Bryant directly asked for the ball in the right elbow area.
After receiving Nash's pass, Kobe Bryant raised the ball to the back of his head, then quickly got off the ball, and then held the ball with his right hand and crossed the dribble in the direction of the baseline to break through.
"Bang!" A look at the iron!
The beautiful iron posture also caused a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene, and the entire Staples Arena was all for fun, no one seemed to care about the result of the game, as long as Kobe Bryant and Li Ze kept fighting, everyone could call for a whole game.
Howard under the basket struggled hard and took the lead in the rebound, but in the end, Jordan Jr. still protected the second rebound with his excellent jumping, and Chris Paul immediately stepped forward to respond.
The Clippers quickly passed the halfcourt, the Lakers' defense had just been settled, Li Ze on the left wing received a pass from Paul, and Jordan Jr. immediately stepped forward to block and dismantle, knowing that there was no chance to eat cake, so the quality of this block was very good.
Li Ze wrapped the ball behind his right hand with a large back, and with the help of blocking and dismantling, he easily got rid of Kobe's defense, and noticed that Howard was still squatting under the basket, and the left wing was half a step away from the three-point line.
“oh! kay downtown! ”
Commentator Kevin Harlan shouted, and Staples Arena erupted in huge cheers again, and it is now impossible to distinguish between home and away, and the cheers are over!
"There is no delay, I will continue to shoot, man, there is no shame in admitting defeat in advance!"
Li Ze, who completed the goal, said trash talk to Howard and Kobe Bryant by the way, and didn't look at the reaction of the two, turned his head directly, and quickly retreated to the halfcourt, this time Kobe Bryant did not die staring at Howard, after all, this is his defensive problem.
Hearing Li Ze's words, Howard didn't care at all, the super center still needs a big delay? He doesn't do it!
In the last few minutes, Li Ze did what he said, frequently playing the No. 5 position to block and dismantle, and as long as Kobe Bryant was delayed, he fired directly outside the three-point line.
Chris Paul also discovered the Lakers' defense and pick-and-roll problem, if Li Ze is chased after this, then he will immediately respond and continue to block and pick-and-roll, Steve Nash is still old in the end, and there is no way to face such an offense...
In the last attack of the second quarter, Howard, who had already been numb, finally defended this time.
At the top of the arc, Jordan Jr. was not in a hurry to go down, and after Li Ze pushed the ball with his left hand to get rid of Kobe, in the face of Howard's delay, his right wrist flicked, and the ball passed through the opponent's crotch accurately.
In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ze easily passed between Howard and Jordan Jr., and fished the ball again with his right hand, straight into the paint area, Gasol saw that Li Ze broke through successfully, and immediately stepped forward to help defend.
Li Ze, who broke through to the paint area, did not wait for Gasol's defense to be in place, and threw the ball high with his right hand during the march, the ball flew past Gasol, and Griffin, who was at the bottom left of the basket, quickly took off, grabbed the ball with both hands, and folded the dunk in the air!
"Oh!"
Wearing the crotch + empty dunk completely ignited the atmosphere of Staples Arena, everyone shouted excitedly, and many fans wearing Lakers jerseys were also celebrating the goal...
Griffin, who completed the sao bag dunk, screamed after landing on the ground, pulled Li Ze to celebrate wildly at the camera under the basket, and the halftime game was just over, and the atmosphere team of the Clippers also rushed into the court and threw the towel wildly.
"The Clippers played a wave of crazy offense, Kayce made 4 of 5 three-pointers, cut 12 points and 1 assist, Chris Paul made 2 of 4, 6 points and 3 assists, the two combined 18 points and 4 assists, and in the second half of the game, the Clippers scored 26 points, incredible!"
Commentator Kevin Harlan was almost stunned, 38:24 in the single quarter, 70:47 in the half, such a point difference was beyond everyone's expectations.
"The Lakers paid the price for their defensive strategy, and this game is basically over, and how to make F4 a whole is something that head coach Mike Brown should think about later."
Steve Kerr noticed that Howard only had 5 shots in the first half and scored 5 points, and he was completely speechless, and Kobe Bryant was 0 of 4 in the second quarter and hung up zero eggs, which was also the main reason for the Lakers' sudden crotch pull.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Ze thought that the Lakers would give up the game, after all, there were too many veterans on the other side, and there was no need to play too much time for a regular season, but the stubborn Kobe Bryant still continued to play with his teammates.
And as long as he gets the ball, Li Ze will be delayed and trapped, obviously, the Lakers who broke the defense want to teach Li Ze a lesson.
But the outside line of the old arms and legs couldn't withstand the pressing defense of Chris Paul and Li Ze, and the two made a total of 5 steals in the second half, and the third quarter passed most of the game, and the difference reached 33 points.
Seeing that the Lakers have not replaced the main lineup, Chris Paul is even more excited, and the offensive end is also full of firepower, making every effort to expand the point difference...
Li Ze secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, he knew that the Lakers would not replace the main force, so he would not take the initiative to turn on the [Enter Rhythm] buff in the second quarter.
At 3 minutes and 21 seconds into the fourth quarter of the game, Li Ze controlled the ball at the top of the arc, saw Griffin cover Chris Paul in the bottom left corner, and immediately sent a through ball.
Gasol didn't hesitate to delay the defense, not giving Paul a chance to shoot from mid-range, while raising his hands high to prevent Paul from sending an open catch, and Chris Paul, who sought stability, simply put his right hand in and out, and then dribbled directly outside.
After handing Li Ze to the left wing hand outside the three-point line, he took advantage of the situation to cover, hung up Kobe Bryant, who was chasing the defense, and then quickly ran to the top of the arc to open up the space.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand at the wing position, Gasol's defense moved, Li Ze was keenly aware of the opponent's defensive intentions, and seemed to want to cooperate with Kobe Bryant and block him on the left sideline.
Suddenly lowered the center of gravity, Li Ze broke through to the bottom line with the ball in his left hand, Gasol stepped forward to block, Kobe Bryant chased after the defense, and when he was close to the bottom line, he pulled the ball back with his left hand, and half-turned to feint, which made the defense of the two slightly stunned.
Then he lowered his center of gravity again, accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand, and Li Ze successfully squeezed past Gasol's defense from the sideline, and the Staples Arena immediately erupted into a burst of exclamations.
Howard under the basket subconsciously turned around, and saw Li Ze, who had broken through from the bottom line, jumped with his feet and took off into the air.
There was no time to jump, Howard was directly knocked and stumbled, and saw Li Ze smash the buckle with one arm with his left hand!
"Boom!" Break through the storm dunk and succeed!
“oh my god!”
“oh! oh! ”
"It's wonderful! Incredibly, how the hell did Kayce break through the two-man bag? ”
The three people in the TNT commentary seat at the scene shouted at the same time, and the Staples Arena also exploded.
Li Ze, who had completed the dunk, had just landed, and little Jordan under the basket immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Ze, not giving him any chance to pose at all, and all he heard was the excited shouts of his teammates.
"Ahh
Coach Mike Brown on the sidelines knows that he is completely finished, and the fans will definitely scold him for not understanding the bag, maybe after this game, he will really say goodbye to Los Angeles...
Hearing the cheers from the scene, Howard, who was blocked, was almost blown up, and the two were sandwiched, but Li Ze broke through from the bottom line, he didn't have any preparation at all, is the defense a paper lake?
The Lakers, who have completely collapsed, are still holding on, for such a scene, the fans who bought tickets are very happy, everyone comes to watch the game live, it is to watch the stars play, too much garbage time, absolutely affects the viewing experience.
With 3:32 left in the fourth quarter, head coach Mike Brown called a timeout and replaced the main lineup, conceding in complete defeat.
"Despite the big point difference, I would say that this game was really good, 14-of-24, including 7-of-10 three-pointers, 6-of-6 free throws, 41 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, Kayce got the first 40+ of the season!"
With three minutes left to fish, Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics and took the lead in Li Zechui mode, and Steve Cole nodded in agreement and added:
Chris Paul was 7-of-15 from the field, with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 1 turnover, and Paul played equally well in the second half when the Lakers took the bag, which reminds me of the "basketball cause" of 11 years. ”
Bringing up the old story again, the narrator Kevin Harlan immediately picked up the conversation and said in a mocking tone:
"A super backcourt combination in Los Angeles, I'm sure Lakers fans will love it!"
The three of them chatted happily, everyone on the Lakers bench was silent, 1-4, the start of the F4 combination was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was said that the ruling league would start the dynasty that?
The time ran out quickly, and in the end, at 122:95, the Clippers defeated the Lakers and easily won the local derby.
Li Ze had already changed into his training uniform at this time, high-fived and celebrated with the atmosphere group that was off the court, and won the game by a big score, and Chris Paul also ended the losing MMP state, hugged everyone and opened the commercial mutual blowing mode.
In this game, Kobe Bryant made 10 of 23, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring a Lakers-high 29 points.
"Kobe, it's a shame to lose tonight, the Lakers are currently 1-4, does that mean the F4 combination has failed?"
Hearing such a question, Kobe's face darkened, and he just said that he was satisfied with the team's reinforcement in the offseason, which is a slap in the face? Hold back the emotions in your heart and answer simply:
"The regular season has just started and we still have a lot of games to play, so I don't care about the momentary win or defeat, of course the team needs more time to run in, and I'll take care of it."
"I noticed that Kayce was 14-of-24 with 41 points, Chris Paul had 15 assists and only one turnover, Kobe, what would you say about the Clippers' outside combination?"
Bryant was expressionless: "..."
In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, the game has just ended, and the Komi who broke the big defense complained frantically on the Tiger Fight forum:
"13 points, 8 rebounds, super center? Hurry up and get Bynum back, garbage Howard, delay the Volute to win the championship! ”
"If it weren't for the bench lineup scoring in a row, the Lakers would definitely lose 30+, 8 points and 2 assists, and Steve Nash would not even be as useful as Fisher."
"It's the classic link again, teammate CBA, it's obviously Kobe's playing style problem, but it's all to blame on teammates?"
"Mike Brown knows singles after class, I can play too, anyway, just give the ball to Kobe, who wouldn't do that?"
"The tactics of the Clippers are similar, either blocking and dismantling down, or blocking and dismantling the middle distance, or breaking through the ball, Li Ze will play alone if it doesn't work, in the final analysis, Kobe Bryant is old and can't get a high score."
"Li Zeniu x, 41 points to beat Kobe, who can withstand a backcourt combination like the Clippers?"
"Hehe, the Heat team can withstand it, I, Zhan, beat the Clippers front, and the Heat will win the championship!"
"! This is the post-game post of the Clippers and the Lakers, what's the matter with you, it's unbelievable, and Jammy has lost for two years in a row. ”
“...”
After completing this city derby, the Clippers will not have a game this week, and the schedule of three games a week is naturally very easy compared to last season.
However, Coach De Nagro will not relax his training requirements, this season is very crucial, if he plays a result, he can naturally sit in the position of head coach, if the results pull his hips, Steve Ballmer will definitely let him go directly.
The best players in the league have been replaced back in the team, and the Clippers have no reason to fail, and the coaching staff is under a lot of pressure to reach the Western Conference semifinals.
On November 10, the NBA League announced its Player of the Week 2 awards:
In the Eastern Conference, the Heat had a 3-0 record, and LeBron James won the award with his average of 21.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.3 turnovers per game, shooting 58.7% from the field and 50.0% from three-point range;
In the Western Conference, the Clippers won 2-1, and Li Ze averaged 37.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.7 turnovers per game, with a shooting rate of 55.8% and a three-point shooting rate of 56.1%.
Amerika's ball pundits seem to be back to last season, with Li Ze and LeBron James starting to contract the Weekly Championship again...
When I saw Li Ze's 22.7 shots, 12.7 hits, and a free throw shooting rate of 95.2%, all sports media were a little speechless, it was crazy!
Of course, in the NBA, scoring high scores is not uncommon, and James Harden, the bearded player who was traded to the Rockets in the offseason, also ushered in a breakout.
The Rockets also have a 2-1 record, with James Harden averaging 35.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.7 turnovers per game, shooting 52.9% from the field and 35% from three-point range!
If there was no Li Ze, with such data, there would be almost no suspense about Zhou Ji, but he was pressed and lost his temper, and the data was almost completely surrounded...
The ball critic who commented on the Rockets in the offseason who made a big deal was slapped in the face again, even if it is a brush, if such data can be brushed, then this transaction will definitely not be a loss!
In addition to following the team's daily training in the past two days, Li Ze has been hanging out with Alexandra Daddario, who came to Los Angeles to rest.
Sister Dabo still didn't work hard, this is not as keen on Hollywood as a celebrity, except for patting the cover of the magazine, most of the time at home with her father...
It seems that the "100 most beautiful faces in the world" is really useless, and even with this gimmick, it doesn't let you get a very good script. ”
Sister Dabo also has a small house on the Arcadia side of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, after Li Ze finished training, he returned here, and after dinner, he saw this person holding the ipad and brushing non-stop, and couldn't help but complain about this useless title.
"Who said there wasn't! I have two movies to make next year, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D and Percy Jackson and the Sea of Warcraft! After filming these two movies, I won't have to work for at least a year! ”
Seeing the proud appearance of Sister Dabo, Li Ze looked strange and asked with some suspicion:
"3D thriller movie? It doesn't feel like it's right for you! ”
Seeing that Li Ze's gaze fell on her chest, Alexandra immediately pounced and shouted at the same time:
"You're discriminating! Can't you make a thriller movie with a good figure? ”
Li Ze hugged Sister Dabo and hurriedly explained:
"I mean, a good body is more suitable for making thriller movies, and everyone likes to see beautiful women in horror movies!"
"Bite you scumbag! Don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart..."
“...”
On November 11, Singles' Day, the NBA league scheduled the Clippers and Lakers on the same day, and the Clippers took the lead.
Li Ze drove his advertising car McLaren MP4-12C to Staples, and was immediately slapped in the face by a large number of cameras, and the reporter accompanying the Clippers complimented Li Ze again:
"Kayce, congratulations on winning the Player of the Week for the second time in the new season!"
"Remember to take me to thank the judges, and of course, if only you could convince the league to change the style of the Weekly Awards, it will be the same at home, even if it is changed to a round one!"
Hearing Li Ze's ridicule, everyone burst into laughter, thinking of the best award of the week that Li Ze has won in recent years, and suddenly felt very reasonable...
In order not to delay the subsequent Lakers schedule, the Clippers hosted the Hawks, and the referees rarely blew the whistle, and the game was unusually smooth.
After trading Joe Johnson, the Hawks have become almost a civilian team, and although Al Horford has also been selected as an All-Star in a row, the future ball-blind tester has not been able to raise the team's ceiling.
Yunmanbadev Teague faced the backcourt of the Clippers, and the game was directly hung in the first quarter, which also made the Hawks fall behind by 12 points in the first quarter, 19:31, the Clippers played normally, and they came up to win the game.
At the break, the starting four of Kyle Korver, Josh Smith, Al Hofd, and Scum Pachurio were all silent, and everyone did their best.
The Hawks, who were constipated offensively, played more and more unsmoothly, and finally scored only 76 points in the whole game, while the Clippers, the main lineup clocked in almost three quarters and easily scored 106 points.
76:106, the Clippers beat the Hawks at home, Li Ze played 32 minutes, 9 of 18, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and only got 25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.
Chris Paul's double-double record was also broken, 7-of-12, 15 points, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, and he clocked in in the third quarter, which really affected the statistics.
After two days of rest, on the night of the 14th, the Clippers welcomed the Bulls at home.
With Derrick Rose still recovering, the Bulls are also a civilian team this season, with Carlos Boozer and Lore Deng becoming the team's star players.
However, in the game that night, the Bulls' offense directly pulled the hips, and in the first quarter of the game, Joe Kinoah met Griffin and Jordan Jr., two jumping men's combinations, and in the first quarter of the game, 0 of 5, and the score hung zero.
However, the veteran Richard Hamilton, who was signed in the offseason, performed well and saved some face for the Bulls, 15:32, the same first quarter collapsed, and the Clippers easily led by 17 points.
Koke Hinrich was in no form throughout the game, 0-of-6 from the outside, and only scored 1 point in the end, and in this situation, the Bulls' offense did not improve and was completely suppressed by the Clippers.
At 80:109, the Clippers at home defeated the Bulls and easily won three in a row.
Li Ze, who played 32 minutes again, was 11 of 18 from the field, including 3 of 6 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, and once again mediocre with 30 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.
The surface brother Griffin played exceptionally well in this game, also 11 of 18, cutting a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds, Chris Paul fished all the way, 4 of 9, 10 points, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1 turnover...
After wrapping up two games this week, the Clippers have a 7-1 record, and while most of the games have been considered welfare, Amika's media reporters finally realized that the Clippers seem to be stronger than they thought.
Of course, it can also be said in another way, Li Zeniu x! There was no need to adjust at all, it was completely adapted to the Clippers.
And the Thunder lost again that night, at 107:97, the Thunder team playing at home lost to the Grizzlies, and the offense suddenly lost power in the second quarter of the game, and only scored 15 points in a single quarter...
Durant tried his best, 12-of-21, with an efficient 34 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 5 turnovers, and Turtles 6-of-19, 17 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.
Such data can't win, and Durant is sour again...
On the evening of the 17th, the Clippers ushered in the last game of the week, and the NBA league has also warmed up for this game for a long time, tonight, they will host the Heat team of the second consecutive Asia.
ESPN, as the broadcaster, has been grandly announcing these nights, LeBron James has been in good form recently, in the last game with the Rockets, he was 14 of 26 in the game, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 8 free throws, 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, without a single turnover!
The two teams are in good form, barely being a Mars collision with Earth.
Staples Arena, tonight is full, the price of the Clippers' front-row tickets is only 1/3 of the Lakers, in this case, many Los Angeles fans have paid for tickets, for such a focus battle, the price of second-hand scalpers tickets have risen a lot.
"The Heat are still one big and four small, Chalmers and Wade in the backcourt, Battier and LeBron James form the front, and the center is Chris Bosh!"
"On the Clippers' side, offseason signing PJ Tucker got a start again, and compared to the Heat's interior line, I'm sure Griffin and Jordan Jr. will explode tonight."
On the commentary bench of ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy briefly commented on the starting lineups of both sides, and he was not optimistic that the Heat's interior could withstand Griffin's impact.
Whether it's James or Battier, once in the No. 4 position, Griffin has a huge physical advantage.
"In the last game against the Rockets, Chris Bosh was also in very good shape, and with Kayce, who frequently scores high scores, I believe that both sides will give us a good game!"
The game was about to start, and the commentator, Mike Breen, didn't say anything and just sat back and waited for the referee to start.
At this time, the players on both sides were carrying out the final warm-up activities, and after routinely completing the shooting warm-up, Li Ze stood under the basketball hoop, dribbling the ball in his hand with bells and whistles.
The camera at the scene was always aimed at him, and he saw that the ball seemed to be stuck to Li Ze's hand, and butterflies were shuttling back and forth under his crotch like flowers.
Chris Paul said hello to James and Wade briefly, and then returned to his own half with a serious face, he really wanted to win against the other side.
Seeing the referee signaling the players from both sides to come to the center of the court, Li Ze threw the ball to the linesman on the side, moved his body, and stepped forward with a smile to greet everyone on the Heat team.
PJ Tucker, who is back in the starting lineup again, is full of motivation, and his task tonight is to defend LeBron James, even if he can't contain the opponent, he has to try to wear them down.
“lets go clippers!”
DJs began to cheer for the home team, and the rhythmic drums also made the atmosphere more and more enthusiastic, the referee threw the ball into the air, and the Staples Arena let out a burst of cheers.
"Smack!"
Jordan Jr. easily jumped to the ball for the Clippers, and after Paul took the ball, he saw that the Heat chose to mark the defense, dribbled across the half court, and immediately gave the ball to Li Ze on the left wing.
He then motioned for Griffin to step up and pick it up, then quickly cut inside to take away Chalmers' defense.
Noticing that LeBron James seemed to have hit the No. 4 position in this game, Li Ze did not wait for Griffin's cover to fully stand still, and in the face of Wade's defense, he immediately accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
LeBron James just wanted to cooperate with Wade to wrap Li Ze, and Li Ze, who had dribbled two big steps, grabbed the ball with his left hand and threw the ball directly to the basket.
Griffin jumped high, ignoring Bosh who came up to help the defense, grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, condescendingly, and smashed the ball directly into the basket!
"Boom!" Empty catch the storm dunk!
The Staples Arena immediately erupted in a loud cheer, and there was an empty catch and a violent dunk at the beginning, which everyone liked to see.
“good job! Pay attention to my passing in this game, and remember to raise your hand to ask for the ball when the basket is misplaced! ”
Li Ze, who sent a wonderful pass, looked calm, unlike the Thunder, Griffin was deflated in the face of the Spurs and Grizzlies, but the Heat's interior configuration, the surface brothers have a huge advantage.
Griffin patted his chest, saying that he fully understood that he still had a lot of experience in how to catch the flying cakes.
The Heat's offense, Chalmers just dribbled past half court, Chris Paul immediately stepped forward to interfere, and at the same time, Li Ze was also guarding against Wade receiving the ball, and LeBron James was happy when he saw PJ-Tucker in front of him.
Quickly asked for the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, and after receiving a pass from Chalmers, he noticed that Tucker was very close to the defense, a simple three threats, and the ball was directly released with his right hand, and the cross step dribbled to break through.
Tucker was directly crushed by James to the right blocking position, noticing that Jordan Jr. seemed to want to help defend, LeBron James immediately turned his back to protect the ball, leaned on the play, took advantage of his height, and made a stiff backward jump shot!
"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.
Tucker was a little helpless, his height and strength couldn't stand it, he was still fantasizing about being able to limit the other party before the game, but after the fight, he directly felt the gap.
"It's okay! Just try to defend as much as you can, and if necessary, I can switch over! ”
Taking advantage of the baseline serve, Li Ze comforted his teammates, and LeBron James, who has gained weight this season, broke through even more vigorously.
But fortunately, through the first two fishing games, he also figured out the bonus effect of the silver badge [Green Machine], and the only attributes that can be specified at present are: speed and strength.
Although LeBron James has gained weight, as long as he shoots frequently and hits some difficult shots, Li Ze can get some power bonuses, and he has a lot of experience in how to limit this chosen one in the past two years.
After half the game with Chris Paul, he noticed that Vedra in front of him had a face, staring at him deadly, Li Ze chuckled at the other party, and at the same time smiled in his heart:
"This game, I have to start with you..."
