Chapter 295: Paul with Buff (8900 Words Chapter)
The evening of May 5 was an important milestone for Li Ze's career.
However, in the NBA, many times the milestone becomes "mileage sadness".
The Grizzlies were only 1.1 seconds away from smashing the court, and after Li Ze hit two people in a row and successfully hit a three-pointer.
The most excited person at the scene was neither Li Ze himself, nor the Clippers who were about to rush up and shout wildly, and the team owner Steve Ballmer's face was red with excitement, standing under the basketball hoop of the Clippers screaming and constantly swinging punches.
The old man's passionate celebration seemed to ignite the atmosphere of the scene, and many front-row spectators also shouted wildly.
And Li Ze hit the killer ball very calmly, for him, this is just the Western Conference semifinals, and he has seen the finals in a bigger scene, so in the end, he just raised his hands with a smile on his face, showing a big man posture.
Paul, who was nearby, was particularly excited, if this game was replaced by last year's Clippers, maybe the 4th quarter would be directly explained, and he jumped to Li Ze's side for the first time, shouting while signaling the scene to be high.
Compared with the Thunder team, the turtle turtle always pounced on Li Ze as soon as possible, interrupting his outfit X, the Clippers gave Li Ze enough time to pose, and finally rushed to Li Ze's side to celebrate the victory of the game together.
The Clippers' coaching staff was also very excited, celebrating with the players on the bench, while the head coach Hollins on the other side was already about to eat people, and he was looking hideous and roaring at the technical table:
"Foul! He knocked out two players in a row, Shet! It's a basketball game! ”
The Grizzlies' coaching staff hurriedly pulled Coach Hollins away, and in the final moments, both sides moved a little big, with Tony Allen hugging and hugging, and Randolph and Gasol also wrestling with Turiaf and Jordan Jr.
Obviously, the referee has handed over the game to the players, and hitting the shot in 1.1 seconds can only say that Li Ze's strength is strong enough.
The referee didn't choose to look back at all, Li Ze's shot was fast, and he was next to him when he shot, so he confirmed that the goal was valid early.
At 103:105, the Clippers finally defeated the Grizzlies with a difficult 1.1-second kill by Li Ze.
On the commentary bench of TNT at the scene, the three calmed down their emotions, and Steve Cole looked at the technical statistics in his hand and said in an excited tone:
"Unbelievable performance, Kayce was 6-of-6 in the fourth quarter, including 2-of-2 three-pointers, and if he conceded a single goal, maybe the Grizzlies would have won this game!"
Reggie Miller saw Li Ze waving at him, and immediately took off his headphones, laughed and celebrated, as if he realized that he had lost his neutral position, so he sat back on the commentary seat, put on his headphones, and said with a smile:
"In the regular season, it's actually hard for us to see the Clippers so embarrassed, after all, Kayce is so consistent, I have to praise the Grizzlies, tonight's game was really good."
"Kayce reached the most important milestone of her career, on a record night like this, 16-of-23, including 4-of-6 three-pointers, 10-of-10 free throws, 46 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, and both sides gave us a great game!"
The three of them in the commentary seat were still fancy touting Li Ze, the atmosphere in the Staples Arena was still hot, and Coach De Nagro had already smiled and patted Li Ze on the shoulder, he completely felt the joy of coaching a superstar.
High-fives with everyone on the bench from the Clippers, Billups and Grant Hill also grinned, and it was clear that the Western Conference semifinals had a good start and everyone was in a very happy mood.
TNT's famous sideline reporter Craig Saag wore a red plaid suit tonight, which is also the color of the Clippers' home cheering T-shirt, Li Ze came to the veteran reporter's side, and the two first high-fived in celebration, and finally Sag asked with a smile:
“Kayce! Congratulations on winning three consecutive MVPs, which is definitely a great achievement, and on a record night like this, you managed to kill your opponent again, can you tell the fans a little bit about how you're feeling right now? ”
Li Ze felt the fiery atmosphere of the scene, and replied with a smile:
"I'm very happy at this point, it's the fourth year of my career, and I've won the MVP three years in a row, so I have to thank everyone for recognizing me."
"And for tonight's game, I want to pay tribute to the Grizzlies, they're definitely a tough opponent."
"We were lucky to win the game in the end, and of course thanks to the coaching staff's excellent play, I'm very proud of my teammates and we were still fighting until the last second of the game!"
Craig Sag nodded when he heard Li Ze's words, and then asked a harmonious question again:
"Kayce, what are your expectations for this series? You guys seem to have some trouble in the G1 game, how will the Clippers adjust to the upcoming matchup? ”
"We'll go back to the footage of the game as soon as we can, find out the problem, and then fix it, and I'm sure my teammates are ready, the Grizzlies are strong, but I'm sure the win will be for the Clippers!"
The interview on the sidelines was not short, but fortunately, Craig Sager's questions were very simple, and after completing this interview, Li Ze bumped fists with the old reporter again, and at the same time smiled and expressed his gratitude:
"Say hello to everyone on my behalf, and thank you for voting for me!"
Craig Sag also put down the microphone, raised his eyebrows at Li Ze, and said in a brisk tone:
"I think everyone loves to see the three MVPs in a row, and it's really great to witness history together!"
When Li Ze walked to the players' tunnel, Steve Ballmer didn't seem to have recovered from his excitement, and immediately stepped forward to greet Li Ze with a fist bump, and then waved at the audience on both sides, the old man was really happy tonight.
Steve Ballmer followed Li Ze back to the locker room, and then took the lead in applauding, the old man was still very excited, and the locker room was full of cheers for a while.
"Very good game! I'm so proud of everybody, we played very hard tonight! I love competitions like this! ”
“WOW!”
Gary Sachs, the team manager on the side, saw that the team owner was so excited, and immediately led the staff to applaud wildly, and then, the happy Steve Ballmore began to send out his own chicken soup for the soul.
The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, perhaps because the game was played at the last moment, the fans who watched CCTV Sports in front of the TV were cheering, and some of the student parties who chose to watch the football in Sina Sports directly scolded their mothers.
Originally, the popularity of the three consecutive MVPs exploded, and the game that night was very intense, which caused the broadcast of Sina Sports to become more and more stuck.
The most painful thing is that there is only one second left in the end, and the game is gone, and some fans haven't seen the picture yet, and the news of the Tiger Pounce APP on the mobile phone pops up first
The viewing experience was a mess, and when the fans flocked to the Hupu forum, the server crashed for more than ten minutes, and after returning to normal, the post-game news post was instantly replied to more than a thousand floors, of course, some of them were scolding the garbage forum:
"Li Zeniu X! The 5th three-time MVP in history, he killed his opponent on the night of his career, and he knelt down! ”
"Who else? Let's go together! The double bag exploded and scored 46 points, and the league's No. 1 scoring guard Niu X! ”
"Don't come out to touch porcelain in the future, let's take a three-in-a-row MVP and then compare! The first person on active duty! ”
"Comey and Jamie go together! The 22-year-old three-time MVP, the two sides are no longer players of the same level. ”
"Hehe, Volute has three consecutive championships and five championships, Li Ze is still almost meaningless, as long as he is in Los Angeles, Volute will always be the top brand!"
"You have to beat the Grizzlies, the Clippers are out of play this season, and the Heat are champions! I'm a three-in-a-row champion! ”
"Get out of the thighs! Loan champion again? ”
“.”
No. 5 had two games, and in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks, who were playing at home, ended up overturning.
At 102:95, the multi-point flowering Pacers successfully defeated the Knicks and won a victory away, which seems to illustrate the difference in strength between the two teams.
Carmelo Anthony finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two turnovers on 10-of-28 shooting, including 1-of-4 three-pointers and 6-of-6 free throws.
Anthony was already in a bad mood after the loss, and at the post-game press conference, some media reporters who were engaged in things also compared Li Zefeng's data:
"Melo, in the other game, Kayce scored 46 points on 16-of-23 shooting, what do you think of the opponent's performance?"
Hearing such a question from the New York media, Anthony couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth:
"Congratulations to Kayce, the MVP is well deserved!."
Amerika's fans actually like personal heroism, and Li Zefu all broke out that night, and Reddit was full of posts praising Li Ze.
But on the morning of the 6th, on TNT's Inside the NBA show, the four began to talk about the Clippers for not being dominant:
"As I expected before the game, the Clippers' interior is no match for the Grizzlies at all!"
"Look at Griffin's lame performance, he was beaten to six fouls, he was 4-of-9 from the field, he got 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers, and when you see this statistic, can you imagine that this is an interior player?"
Charles Barkley talked about the power forward and began to output like crazy again, and O'Neal on the side also laughed:
"Andrew Jordan only got 3 points and 8 rebounds, such an inside line, with a salary of 10 million US dollars, without any low-post skills, he can only dunk and score, and now it's too easy to make money!"
Kenny Smith heard the comments of the two and began to sing white-faced, praising Chris Paul's performance:
"The Clippers really lack dominance on the inside, and when Chris Paul is definitely a reliable helper next to Kayce, he was 7-of-14, including 3-of-4 three-pointers, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, 23 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and only one turnover!"
"I'm sure the Clippers will find a way to crack the Grizzlies' defense in the backcourt, and if they succeed in activating the big man on the inside, the Clippers will show their dominance again."
Host Ernnie Johnson is also on the Clippers' side:
"Mark Gasol had 20 points and 8 rebounds, Zach Randolph had 18 points and 7 rebounds, and Conley also had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.
"But Tyshawn Prince was 1-of-5 and scored only 2 points, and Tony Allen only scored 8 points, and it was clear that the two almost gave up on offense for the sake of defense, and if the Grizzlies continue to rely on interior players, maybe the series will end in 6 games, and don't forget, the Clippers are a younger team!"
Charles Barkley seemed to strongly disagree with such a view, widened his eyes, and said loudly:
"Inside players have to make a difference! Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Clippers to reach the Finals, in contrast, I am more optimistic about the Heat, tonight's game, the Big Three will show their dominance, and the Bulls will not be their opponents! ”
After TNT's program was broadcast, it was recognized by many fans, which is also the pressure of playing next to Li Ze.
After all, in the Thunder team, Li Ze, Turtle Turtle, and Durant did dominate the outside line, and the Finals swept the Heat Big Three 4:1 gentlemen twice.
Therefore, after coming to the Clippers, fans will also subconsciously compare Paul and Turtles.
Of course, as a traditional point guard, Paul's style of play is completely different from that of the turtle, and the fans are more tolerant, and for Griffin and Jordan Jr., many fans complained on Twitter:
"KD's data divided by two> Griffin + Jordan Jr."
Durant, who was scrolling through Twitter at his home in Russia, was also happy to see such comments, but after the night's game, Durant was a little broken.
At 99:93, the defending champion Thunder lost a home game.
In the game that night, the Spurs changed the main attacker, and Tony Parker was 11 of 22 from the field, scoring 30 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 turnovers, easily beating Morewills.
Tim Duncan went 8-of-13 from the field for 24 points and eight rebounds, Split also scored 15 points, and the Thunder were blown up inside.
Durant, who played 43 minutes, was 11 of 21, scoring 36 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 5 turnovers.
The rotation lineup is also fully muted, Marshon Brooks is 2-of-11 and only has 6 points, and the lackluster Durant even needs to play with the rotation lineup.
Fortunately, it was not only the Thunder who lost, but the Heat were also directly overturned by Barkley's poisoned milk.
At 93:86, Coach Tom Thibodeau slammed into the main force, defended with iron and blood, and successfully won an away game.
In this game, the Bulls' Jimmy Butler played 48 minutes and Marco Belinelli played 46 minutes
Tough guy Jimmy Butler had 21 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers, Nate Robinson had 27 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 turnovers, and Joakim Noah had 13 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers.
In contrast, LeBron James' play was mediocre, with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, plus Wade's 14 points and Bosh's 9 points, the Big Three seemed to have completely lost their dominance.
After this game, Amika's sports media was in an uproar, facing the Bulls, who lost their star at home, how could the Heat still lose?
For a while, the grass on the wall mocked LeBron James again:
"How many championships will the Big Three win? Will the promises of the year still be kept? ”
Of course, the ridicule of the crowd, LeBron James probably can't see it, and the chosen one turned off Twitter after entering the playoffs and focused entirely on the game
On the morning of May 7th, after a simple day of recuperation, the Clippers had a simple recovery workout in the morning, and tonight, they will have a G2 game.
At this time, trainer Tony was holding the training baffle to assist Li Ze in completing the shooting training.
Watching Li Ze hit difficult shots in a row, Griffin and Jordan Jr. at the other end of the court both showed envious eyes, and the two of them were sharpening their guns and practicing free throws.
Coach De Nagro was very worried that the angry Grizzlies would use a slashing tactic, so the coaching staff spent the two days off with Jordan Jr. on free throws.
Trainer Meg watched Li Ze easily hit a backward mid-range shot on the right side, and immediately spoke:
"Almost, Kayce! Just keep the feeling you have now, this kind of basic training won't have much effect on you. ”
"I think it's pretty good! Maybe we can customize a batch of special training props, but the occlusion is still a bit short. ”
Throwing the ball in his hand to the assistant coach on the side, Li Ze looked relaxed, and after the end of the last game, he directly received 2 purple and 1 gold three achievement badges.
Achievement Badge [Rhythm Shooter] :(can be fused)
Improves shooting ability after shaking past defenders, improves shot consistency, and reduces the impact of frontal defenders.
Achievement Badge [Difficult Shooting King] :(can be fused)
Improve the shooting percentage of difficult shots after dribbling, improve shot stability, and reduce the impact of frontal defenders.
Achievement Badge [Key Scorer]: 1/5000 (Champion Badge Bonus)
Improve the ability to shoot key shots in key moments, reduce the impact of frontal defenders, and reduce the impact of side defenders.
With the addition of the previous [Hot Zone Hunter], [Triple Threat King], and [Ankle Terminator], Li Ze already has 5 purple badges.
For the follow-up synthesis route, Li Ze plans to wait until the [Strong Pitcher] is upgraded before synthesizing a wave, and the current purple badge is enough to cope with the current game.
"Alright, guys! In tonight's game, I just want to emphasize one point, in the course of the game, we must show our tough temperament and do a good job of protecting the rebound. ”
"Blake, remember, reduce the entanglement with the opponent in the low post, control the fouls, the offensive link, hand it over to Kayce and Chris, everyone is ready to receive the ball, win tonight's home game, the series will become 2:0, and the Western Conference Finals are already beckoning to us!"
Coach De Nagro once again gave the Clippers a colorful pie before lunch, and unlike the previous Brooks head coach, De Nagro is less of a pregame speech, preferring to leave the locker room to the players.
Of all, Chris Paul has the most serious look, he knows his ability very well, and it is very important for the Clippers to lead their interior offense.
The game on the night of the 7th officially kicked off at 21:30, and for fans in Los Angeles, it was even more fun to watch the game at such a game time!
The Clippers' uniform team handed out red cheering T-shirts to the fans in attendance.
Perhaps because of Li Ze's stunner in the last game, most of the fans wore this red T-shirt that night, and the scene looked a lot neater.
The game almost got to a fever pitch after the opening of the game, and in the second half of the second quarter, with 2:58 left in the first half, Chris Paul accelerated with his left hand at the top of the arc after completing the pick-and-roll with Jordan Jr.
Due to the average quality of Jordan Jr.'s coverage, Mike Conley squeezed through the cover again with agility, and Paulus thought of a sudden sudden brake, causing the opponent to commit a rear-end foul.
As a result, Conley rushed too hard, and Paul did cause the opponent's foul, but after the two collided, the corners of both eyebrows were knocked open at the same time.
For a while, the two of them hugged their heads, and the fans at the scene saw that both sides were bleeding, and they all exclaimed:
"Oh!!"
The referee immediately signaled a timeout, and the team doctors of both teams immediately began to stop the bleeding for the players.
"The offense suddenly fell silent in the second quarter, and it can be seen that the Grizzlies are starting to get impatient, and if they fall behind by double digits at halftime, the second half will be extremely difficult, and the Grizzlies won't have much chance of winning compared to Kayce!"
Steve Kerr took advantage of the timeout to briefly comment on the game, and commentator Kevin Harlan immediately picked up the conversation:
"At 38:46, Jamal Crawford's sudden outburst was completely unexpected by the Grizzlies, who scored 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the first half of the game, and Coach Hollins should consider strengthening his defense against the super sixth man."
On the Clippers bench, Paul was still shouting while receiving treatment:
"I have no problem at all! You can continue to play! ”
However, the team doctor shook his head and signaled that he still needed to continue to check, and the league had clear requirements for head collisions.
Li Ze adjusted the position of the red arm guard on his left hand, and immediately comforted Chris Paul:
"Chris, there are only three minutes left, don't worry about the game, we won tonight!"
Chris Paul was a little depressed, in the first half of the game, 1 of 4, relying on free throws to get 5 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 1 turnover, he was not satisfied with his performance, he wanted to explode, but was hit off the court by a headbutt.
By the time the two sides returned to the court, Mike Conley had already put on his headband, and it was clear that this time he was not lightly dressed.
With 13 seconds left on the offensive time, the Clippers served in the frontcourt, and at this time, Li Ze hit directly to the No. 1 position, the No. 2 position Ray Allen, and the No. 3 position Matt Barnes.
Although there are still some problems with the projection of this lineup, the Grizzlies are also half-hearted on the outside, and everyone's three-point shooting is very average.
At the top of the arc, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand, and Griffin immediately went up to the three-point line, covered for a while, and then immediately went down.
And Li Ze took advantage of this fake cover, suddenly and extremely fast two back dribbles, briefly got rid of Tony Allen's entanglement, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
Randolph had already been numbed by the Clippers' blocking, and seeing that Li Ze got rid of his teammate's defense again, he immediately stepped forward to delay and cooperate with the bag.
Li Ze, who was on the move, had already sensed the opponent's defensive intentions, and as soon as Randolph moved towards him, his left hand immediately flicked his wrist, and the ball quickly passed through the defense of the two and accurately gave it to Griffin in the paint area.
The rhythmic pass made Griffin take off directly after receiving the ball, ignoring Mark Gasol who jumped up under the basket, dodged the defense in the air, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and smashed the ball into the basket fiercely!
"Boom!" Eat the cake and get it!
After completing the dunk, Griffin landed a little unsteadily, slipped under the basket, faced the camera, and the surface brothers beat their chests with great excitement, so far, he has been 6 of 10, cutting 12 points and 5 rebounds.
Li Ze used to pull up Griffin with Little Jordan, and patted each other on the shoulder by the way, on the surface, the brothers were really desperate in this game, constantly throwing themselves in the air.
Faced with the Clippers' two tough interior defenses, the Grizzlies had big problems with interior scoring, so Mike Conley shouldered the scoring load.
Also at the top of the arc, Conley used Gasol's big frame to briefly get away from Li Ze's defense.
In the face of the delayed Jordan, he accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand, broke through to the basket and immediately rose into the air, faced the block, twisted his body, pulled the rod in the air from left to right, and finally twisted his right wrist to successfully send the ball to the basket.
The Clippers immediately served the baseline ball, and Li Ze received the ball and chased after the Grizzlies behind the ass to quickly dribble across the half court.
Griffin also rushed quickly, at this time he had come to the basket, Li Ze immediately sent a through ball, Griffin received the ball, immediately put the ball with his right hand, and at the same time leaned towards the paint area.
Randolph was directly squeezed by Griffin, and Gasol hurriedly stepped forward to wrap it up at this time.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Griffin hurriedly threw the ball to Jordan Jr. at the free throw line, who had just received the ball and quickly returned the ball to Li Ze at the Logo.
The conversion offense failed to succeed, and Li Ze didn't care, first raised his eyebrows at Little Jordan, signaling that he didn't need to block and dismantle.
Tony Allen watched Li Ze's continuous crotch dribble, slowly approaching the three-point line, and suddenly his scalp was numb, and when Li Ze's right hand suddenly changed direction in front of his body, the ball moved and followed to the left to complete a retreat.
The drastic change of direction almost made Tony Allen lose his defensive position, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, looked up at the basket while feigning to close the ball with his right hand.
A simple feint of worshipping Buddha made Tony Allen subconsciously pounce, but Li Ze quickly changed direction under his crotch, and at the same time exerted force at his feet, accelerating with all his strength with the ball in his right hand.
Changed direction twice, Tony Allen was completely shaken away, completely passed by Li Ze, broke through to the paint area, Prince seemed to want to shrink the defense again, Li Ze made a fake pass move, and immediately shook the opponent in place.
Gasol saw Li Ze rush directly to the frame after three steps, and immediately jumped up to block, and after the two fought in the air, Li Ze tilted his body and completed the throw with his right hand!
The huge arc allowed the ball to go over Gasol's fingertips, hit the top of the rebound, and finally fell into the basket with precision!
"Squeak!"
After landing on the ground, Li Ze lost his center of gravity, fell to the floor to unload his strength, and when he heard the referee's whistle, Li Ze immediately shook his fist and roared.
Mark Gasol was a little helpless, but he didn't complain to the referee, but he regretted that he couldn't pull Li Ze down, and the free throw was basically a point.
As Li Ze stood on the free throw line, a huge cheer suddenly erupted in the Staples Arena, and the fans at the scene followed suit and shouted:
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
The penalty hit steadily, and Li Ze followed the Clippers to quickly retreat.
In the final minute or so, the Grizzlies were a little out of control of their defensive movements, and the two sides frequently stood on the free throw line, although there were no sports goals, but the fans at the scene were fascinated.
Li Ze broke through the Grizzlies' defense again and again, causing fouls by Randolph and Gasol in a row, and the gorgeous passing also brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.
With Li Ze hitting both free throws again, after the Grizzlies sent a sideline ball, Tony Allen threw it casually, and the half game ended.
At 44:54, the bench played brilliantly, and the Clippers entered the second half with a 10-point lead.
"It's a pity that the Grizzlies only scored 18 points in the second quarter, 18:28 in the first quarter, a 10-point difference, and the Grizzlies may have to be ready for difficulties in the second half!"
Steve Kerr prefers intense games, and when he sees the Grizzlies trailing by 10 points, his tone is quite regretful, but Reggie Miller is in a good mood:
"7-of-11 in the half, 2-of-3 three-pointers, 7-of-7 free throws, Kayce scored 23 points in the half, Griffin also scored 14 points on 7-of-11, the Clippers seem to have found a way to activate the interior, and I'm really looking forward to the next game!"
In the visiting dressing room, Coach Hollins was unhappy with his team's performance in the first half.
However, seeing Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph gasping for air made him realize that the successive big delays had seriously drained the physical energy of the two.
"Hold on, guys! We have to rush to the front court to rebound, slow down the opponent's tempo, don't care about the score, and do a good job of defending every round! ”
Coach Hollins didn't talk about tactics at all, at this time, he only needed the players to work together, and as for the outcome of the game, it was no longer something he could consider.
After the start of the third quarter of the game, Chris Paul put a big band-aid on the right corner of his eye, and looking at Mike Conley on the opposite side with a headband, Paul's heart was angry.
Both sides knew that this quarter of the game might decide the outcome of the game, so after the opening, everyone fought fiercely.
In the third quarter, the game played more than three minutes, and Conley, who was blood C, was a little unbearable in the first half, and like the G1 game, the Clippers became a dual control position again, with Li Ze and Paul taking turns holding the ball, and every round was launched from the high post.
Jordan Jr., who only got 4 points and 5 rebounds in the first half, became a blocking tool again, and Paul at the top of the arc used cover to suddenly change direction in front of his body, sticking to Jordan Jr.'s body, and accelerating the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Marc Gasol has been tossed for several rounds in a row, and this time the defense really can't keep up, and Paul easily completes a mid-range jumper in the right elbow area of the free throw line!
"Huh!" Hit the two-pointer steadily!
The Grizzlies team, who were grinding the position, scored two points with difficulty by Randolph, and Li Ze held the ball and chased his ass through the half court.
As soon as he finished his defensive positioning, Tony Allen noticed that Griffin behind him seemed to want to go up and block again, and subconsciously chose to stick to the defense.
Taking advantage of the opponent's movement, Griffin's cover was not yet in place, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, and then accelerated directly, passing Tony Allen in one step, without waiting for the opponent to react, one step in the three-point line immediately stopped, and two points long and quickly jumped and shot!
"Huh!" Scored again in the middle distance!
The extremely fast offensive rhythm made everyone in the Grizzlies completely numb, and looking at the back of Li Ze's defense, Coach Hollins on the sidelines looked very helpless.
Unreasonable shots, extremely poor offensive options, but basketball just fell into the basket, regardless of whether such offensive options are cost-effective or not, the point difference has been further widened.
As the Grizzlies' defensive rotation became slower and slower, Chris Paul completely exploded, making consecutive shots and scoring points.
Li Ze is also constantly speeding up the pace of the game, and although the Grizzlies have a high shooting percentage, the unreasonable long two points in a row still make the game gradually become the rhythm of the Clippers.
At the end of the third quarter, at 71:84, the Clippers managed to extend their lead.
Li Ze and Paul played almost the third quarter, and the big screen in Staples Arena once again showed their excellent performance.
4-of-6 and 4-of-4 free throws, Li Ze easily scored 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
4-of-5 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, Paul also finished with 11 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.
Throughout the third quarter, the Clippers didn't have a single turnover, and they overpowered the Grizzlies almost the entire time.
In the last quarter of the game, the Grizzlies fought directly, the main lineup continued to appear, the Clippers' rotation played less than two minutes, and Coach De Nagro also took the main lineup.
In the case of a complete dumb three-point shot, the 13-point difference was like a trench, and the physical strength declined, Gasol and Randolph were also a little unable to play, and the continuous switchback in the third quarter of the game greatly consumed physical energy.
Mike Conley missed two free throws, Jordan Jr. received the rebound, and Paul quickly pushed the switch, noticing that Li Ze had rushed past half court and immediately got on the ball.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze first accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his right hand, felt Tony Allen on his side desperately slide backwards, and when approaching the three-point line on the right wing, Li Ze suddenly dribbled the ball sharply behind his back.
Then the body shook to the left, and the left hand suddenly dribbled under the crotch, making a sharp stop to change direction, easily shaking off Tony Allen's defense.
Taking a step sideways to the right, and once again coming to the right wing outside the three-point line, Li Ze twisted his body, and the slightly drifting three-point shot quickly jumped out!
“OH——!”
“That's good! Kayce From downtown! ”
The quick conversion of three points widened the difference again, and the commentator Kevin Harlan shouted excitedly, and the fans at the scene cheered loudly.
The drawbacks of the main force have been revealed, G1 is fighting too fiercely, and the Grizzlies have been unable to keep up with the rhythm until now.
Coach Hollins saw Li Ze and Paul high-five in celebration, and the Clippers completed the defensive position again, sighed in their hearts, and finally asked for a timeout.
The 16-point difference made the Grizzlies directly change to the atmosphere group, Li Ze sat in his seat, bumped fists with the coaching staff who came to greet him, and took over the technical statistics by the way.
13 of 20, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, 11 of 11 free throws, 40 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
Suddenly noticing that Paul on the side was shaking his right hand, Li Ze couldn't help but rub his eyebrows:
"The unlucky guy won't have another accident, right?"
