The gap between the championship team and the average team is wider than expected.

Execution, discipline, pace of play, star disparity, and more are all thoroughly magnified in a playoff series.

On the night of the 20th, after the first quarter of the first round of G2, Anthony Davis, who was sitting on the bench, was a little confused.

The Pelicans seem to be repeating the game the day before yesterday, playing and falling apart after the opening game.

At 19:33, the Pelicans scored less than 20 points in a single quarter, and everyone except Anthony Davis was dumb.

Eric Gordon was 1-of-5, Quincy Poundset was 1-of-4, Holiday was 1-of-3, Asik hung up and substitute Norris Cole was 0-of-3

The team made very few free throws, with only Ryan Anderson, who came off the bench, making two free throws.

The unaggressive jump shot, the breakthrough can only hit the iron, and the mid-range is all up to Anthony Davis, and it is difficult for the head coach of Monty Williams to make adjustments when he encounters this situation.

The main team is not in good shape, which makes the Pelicans' coaching staff almost helpless.

"Don't run around with the other person's rhythm, cover well, trust each other, and echo each other on the defensive end!"

"There are still three quarters to go, and we can overtake the score!"

In the Staples Arena, the sound of music and the noise of the fans was so loud that Coach Monty Williams could only raise his voice and signal the players to cheer up.

Norris Kerr has experienced the Finals, but in the rotation, it is Paul who is opposite him.

Thinking about this, Norris Kerr couldn't lift his spirits, and the Clippers were too cautious

On the Clippers bench, Hawes was full of motivation, and in the playoffs, his playing time increased a lot, Jokic had a mediocre performance in the last game, and the coaching staff trusted the veteran more at this time.

"There are some issues with the Pelicans' rotation lineup, and I understand what head coach Monty Williams thinks, but at this point, Anthony Davis should be kept on the court."

On TNT's commentary bench, Reggie Miller immediately questioned the Pelicans' lack of Anthony Davis in the rotation lineup.

"Playing the first quarter, I think head coach Monty Williams wants the main players to get some rest, but given the 14-point difference, I'm sure Anthony Davis will be back on the court soon!"

Commentator Kevin Harlan also looked a little surprised, the Pelicans had only one point in the first quarter of the game, 5-of-9, and Anthony Davis scored 10 points alone.

Swapping for offensive strengths is not a good rotation option

Norris Cole, Evans, Cunningham, Ryan Anderson, Alexie Akinsa.

Li Ze looked at the Pelicans' bench lineup, and only felt that Coach Monty Williams was still a little conservative, and he should be the main force at this time.

Paul brought Crawford, Ingles, Tucker, and Hawes on the court, and Griffin's injury still made the coaching staff extra careful, and Griffin played less minutes than last year's playoff rotation.

"I can keep playing, it won't take two minutes for Anthony Davis to be back on the court and I'm going to teach him a lesson tonight!"

Griffin felt that his limelight had been stolen by the other party.

After the G1 game, although critics were criticizing Anthony Davis for playing soft, criticism was a sign of attention, and no one cared about his play.

"You can apply to Coach De Nagro, but you have to convince the doctor first, don't think about playing too much time with this kind of point difference."

Li Ze felt that the surface brothers were bursting this season, and the other party no longer wanted to be a big forward who ate cakes, even if he added low-post tactics, Griffin was still not satisfied.

The two whispered to each other, and Jokic at the end of the bench was a little depressed.

In the last game, due to his mistake on the defensive end, he failed to follow up with Anderson in time, and was thrown two three-pointers by the opponent, and as a result, the playing time in tonight's game was sharply reduced.

This ruthless rotation method really made the white fat man realize the fierce competition in the NBA, role players can't make mistakes, and if they make mistakes, they will lose opportunities.

Looking at Dudley's depressed expression next to him, Jokic was a little envious of Ingles, who was able to get a contract next season with his relatively stable three-point shot.

In the Staples Arena, the fans were cheering for Paul's wonderful shake.

The classic small hit is big, the No. 5 position is blocked, facing Akinsa who came up from the switch, the right hand holds the ball to accelerate the breakthrough, and the fast cross step dribbles back and pulls back.

After shaking his left hand in place and shaking in place, Paul directly shook the 2.13-meter Akinsa to a stumble.

At the right elbow of the free throw line, he hit an easy shot from distance, and Paul was smiling as he stepped back, and he was very happy with his condition.

Ryan Anderson, as the Pelicans' outside battery, played well in the last game, but tonight he faced Tucker and Ingles who took turns defending.

originally wanted to take advantage of his height and play small, but as a result, he turned over in the middle distance near the baseline on the right side and hit the iron again, and Ryan Anderson watched Tucker collect the rebound and couldn't help but clap his hands back in frustration

Coach Monty Williams didn't expect the rotation players to be in the game and no one could step up and score.

With less than three minutes to go in the second quarter, he was forced to call a timeout, and then he replaced Anthony Davis for Atkinsa in an attempt to continue to strengthen the offense.

The Clippers also replaced Griffin in the opposite position, one big and four small on the court, and the mobility was not inferior to the opponent.

The surface brothers are extremely the defensive end, with frequent physical confrontations, and Anthony Davis is also a little uncomfortable.

Having hit the mid-range shot in the previous round, Anthony Davis almost fooled Griffin after receiving the ball at the free-throw line, and then broke through with the ball in his right hand.

Griffin, who reacted very quickly, immediately slid and at the same time constantly gave physical confrontations, and Anthony Davis failed to rely on the opponent during the breakthrough, and was pushed farther and farther, and the final throw failed to hit the basket at all.

"Griffin's excellent defense! Anthony Davis needs to be tougher! ”

Commentator Kevin Harlan immediately praised the Clippers when they saw the Clippers finish the defense and launch a transition offense.

As Griffin received the ball in the left blocking area and turned around, broke through the frame, and scored a strong basket, the game entered the official timeout of the second quarter.

There were 6 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first half, and the score was 31:49 at this time, and the difference was widened to 18 points.

Coach Monty Williams is completely numb, scoring only piecemeal, and half-time is about to be accounted for again

After Li Ze replaced Paul and returned to the court with the main lineup, the Clippers fans at the scene immediately erupted in cheers.

Quincy Poundsett and Eric Gordon are not in a high mood, and Asik, who is back on the court, is even more numb, always feeling that after playing this year's playoffs, he will lose his job.

After the timeout, the Clippers took the lead in attacking, Li Ze dribbled the ball across the half court, and Asik cursed in his heart when he saw Jordan Jr. preparing to block and dismantle again.

As a result of the first quarter of the game, Eric Gordon was used by Li Ze to use his height to hit the top of his head in a row, and after re-entering the game, Quincy Pondset guarded in front of Li Ze again.

Subconsciously glanced at the blocking position behind him, Quincy Poundset just wanted to choose close defense, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, lowered his body center of gravity and suddenly shook to the left.

Quincy Pondset subconsciously slid to the right, and as a result, Li Ze changed direction sharply and completely shook off his defense.

Seeing that his teammates' defense was out of position, Asik hardened his head and slid desperately to help defend in front of Li Ze.

In the face of such a big man, Li Ze moved in the direction of the bottom line, first in and out with his right hand in and out, slightly shaking some space, and then wrapping the ball around the crotch with one hand with his right hand, and quickly retreating at the same time.

On the right side near the baseline position, completely shake off Asik's defense, Li Ze made an easy jump shot from the middle distance!

"Huh!" Two-point goal with ease!

Coach Monty Williams rubbed his forehead off the court, and this is not the first time he has seen such a scene, which is how the Clippers broke the Pelicans in the last game.

It's just that looking back at Ryan Anderson and Akinsa on the bench, in the end, you can only trust Asik and rebound better

With this mid-range shot by Li Ze, the difference in points on the court also came to 20 points, and the Pelicans were demoralized, except for Anthony Davis who scored in the middle range, everyone else could only play piecemeal.

Quincy Poundset is even more stealthy on the offensive end.

Anthony Davis hit a mid-range shot from the right block again.

In the next round, the Clippers played the No. 4 position to block and dismantle, and the moment Anthony Davis, who was delayed, defended in front of Li Ze, the left blocking area, Li Ze's ground-hitting pass, easily tore the defense.

Griffin, who was down the middle, received Li Ze's pass and took off directly, ignoring Asik under the basket, grabbing the ball with his left hand and dunking with one arm!

Griffin, who successfully dunked, was in a good mood and immediately high-fived Li Ze in celebration.

Anthony Davis noticed that the score on the court had become 36:59, and he lost his mood for a moment.

"The Pelicans' youngsters are facing the defending champions for the first time in the playoffs, and that's a bit brutal for them."

"When we come back to New Orleans, hopefully they can adjust to their condition, G3 is very important!"

Commentator Kevin Harlan looked at the situation on the field and could only look for topics outside of the game.

"Anthony Davis needs an outside passer who can drive his offense, and Holiday is good, but Eric Gordon also needs to step up, and they play very unaggressively."

Reggie Miller could only shake his head when he saw Li Ze use the pick-and-roll again to easily hit an outside three-pointer, and in his heart, this round of playoffs was over.

When the pinching was no longer resolute, the Pelicans' defense collapsed again.

With Crawford scoring back-to-back points in the final minutes, the Monty Williams manager is finally back on the bench and will have to think about a return to home.

At halftime, at 41:66, the Clippers easily led by 25 points.

Crawford, who was particularly active in the second half of the second quarter, walked to the tunnel and high-fived the fans in the front row, returning from injury and just in time to meet the rookie team, which couldn't have been better for him.

"Then it's New Orleans, and that's half of Chris's home field!"

Back in the locker room, hearing Li Ze's words, Paul remembered his life with the Hornets back then, when he almost won the MVP.

"Nobody is going to welcome us this season except in Los Angeles, and I think the fans would prefer to see us fail."

Paul remembered the away treatment for most of the season and shook his head helplessly, even if New Orleans was half his home stadium, the local fans would not defect.

"Finish the series early, just in time to wait for the Spurs in Los Angeles."

Griffin looked at the technical statistics with a smile, tonight is considered to be cool, 7 of 12, 18 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, he has already begun to imagine the next round of the playoffs, this year he is going to beat the old man!

Everyone in the Clippers looked relaxed, and Li Ze glanced at the technical statistics.

8-of-12, including 2-of-3 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, he finished with 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

The mediocre data, Li Ze no longer pays attention to it, and the biggest role of such a game is to find the state of Crawford and Griffin.

The atmosphere team was looking forward to an increase in playing time, and at the end of the third quarter, Coach Monty Williams completely replaced the main team, and the rotation players cheered that they would have more than a quarter of playing time!

At Staples Arena, fans were celebrating the G2 victory, and the cheers in their ears made Anthony Davis even more uncomfortable.

9-of-17, 20 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers, the stats are okay, but on both offensive and defensive ends, Anthony Davis feels like he hasn't been able to play much of a role.

The iron-blooded jumper cannot cause damage to the Clippers, and once the iron is hit, it will immediately switch offense.

Coach Monty Williams looked at the rotation lineup and still played iron, and shook his head with a bitter smile in his heart, tonight's game was completely collapsed

Jokic worked hard after he came on the court, and he was better prepared than in the previous game, responding to the free throw line, covering outside the three-point line, going down after blocking and dismantling, and bounce outside after blocking and dismantling.

Several offensive options were very well placed, and when he met Ryan Anderson on the defensive end, he also followed the defense as soon as possible, and Coach De Nagro was very happy with this.

The garbage time game passed quickly, and for the media reporters on the scene, they had to continue to blow Li Ze tonight, and the game had no explosive points.

In the end, 90:118, the Clippers at home defeated the Pelicans again, and the series score came to 2:0.

After the game, the players on both sides simply shook hands and greeted each other, Holiday was also depressed, and in the third quarter of the game, he stepped on his teammate while grabbing a rebound, sprained his ankle, and now he is still limping.

"Maybe I should have stayed in the East, when I was with the 76ers, I beat the Heat, and now."

Holiday and Li Ze hugged and greeted, and then shrugged helplessly, these two games were really lost

"It's the first time I've played the playoffs in the West, it's inevitable, come on, Bro!"

Li Ze briefly comforted his good brother, the West is indeed too rolly, and it will be difficult for the Pelicans to make a difference in the next few years.

After losing by a big score again, Amika's media reporters were not interested in falling into the ground, and the two teams were obviously not at the same level.

Although at the press conference, the Monty Williams coach vowed that they would protect the home stadium, the media reporters did not believe such words, and many even complained in their hearts:

"Maybe it's better to let the Thunder finish in 8th place"

In competitive sports, the winner is king, lack of experience, and the lack of strength in the squad are all excuses, as long as the super team can keep winning, all you get is praise.

That night, the other game was equally uneventful, with the Bulls beating the Bucks again at 82-91.

Although they only scored 11 points in the first quarter, the Bulls were able to easily turn the game around with their excellent defense.

Middleton of the Bucks scored a team-high 22 points on 8-of-20 shooting; The Bulls' Jimiba Teller played 46 minutes and finished with 31 points on 10-of-19 shooting.

Derrick Rose was average, 4-of-14 shooting, 15 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

Fans think the Bulls are still Rose's team, but Jimmy Butler shows that he is the real boss with his performance.

Coach Tom Thibodeau also very much appreciates Jimmy Butler's physicality, 46 minutes, which is very much in line with his requirements.

On the morning of April 21, the NBA league announced the winners of the 14~15 season best coach (COY):

There is no suspense that Bishop De Nagro of the Clippers managed to win this award!

In the 14~15 season, the Clippers played a 73-9 record in the regular season, breaking the record of the best record in the regular season, with a winning rate of 89.0%, the first in history.

The coaches also have their own unions, and in addition to sending out congratulations, everyone just gave lemons.

This is the same as Phil Jackson, who coached Michael Jordan back then, eating the player's bonus!

There are factions of coaches in the league, and Larry Brown has coaches all over the league, and at the moment, Popovich is the biggest mountain in this faction.

Steve Kerr, as a new head coach, is considered to be from the Popovich faction, and Coach Budenhozer is the same, both belong to the camp of bad old men, and the two of them are also sour when they see De Nagro winning the award.

Popovich was the most depressed, and the bad old man thought that without Li Ze, the Spurs would at least win one more championship, and he himself would have a chance to win another award for the best coach.

It's a pity that since Li Ze appeared, the Spurs have never rushed out of the West, and they have been knocked down by their personal ability.

The bad old man congratulated cordially on the surface, but in his heart he wished that the Clippers would disintegrate immediately!

It's just that when you think that Steve Ballmer doesn't care about the luxury tax at all, Popovich always feels like the Spurs are getting farther and farther away from a championship

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, two star players, played a new career high next to Li Ze, and Coach De Nagro coached Li Ze and turned into a champion coach.

Other teams, whether they are players or coaches, follow Cha Lemon in their hearts, gaining fame and fortune, which is the current Clippers.

In the three games that night, to the surprise of all ball critics, the Wizards once again counterattacked the Raptors.

At 117:106, the Raptors lost two home games in a row, and there is a high probability that they will be out.

Compared to the Wizards' backcourt double-shot combination to score 54 points, Raptors fans broke the defense again.

Kyle Lowry was 3-of-10 for 6 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover, while DeRozan was on 9-of-18 shooting for 20 points.

The two combined for 26 points, just the same as John Wall's score.

In the other two games, 91-99, the Cavaliers successfully defeated the Celtics through excellent play in the third quarter; At 99:114, the Warriors easily defeated the Mavericks.

Unlike Li Ze G2, who played 34 minutes and easily cut 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, LeBron James's playing time came to 43 minutes.

With 30 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 6 turnovers on 11-of-22 shooting, James played a little hard, and Coach David Blatter seems to have mastered the strongest tactics.

With head coach De Nagro receiving an award in Los Angeles, the Clippers are ready to leave for New Orleans.

The team's official INS, by the way, posted a boarding photo of Li Ze and his teammates, and fans left messages below:

"Don't go back to Los Angeles in the first round!"

On the morning of the 22nd, the NBA league announced the best 6th man in the 14~15 season.

The Raptors' Louis Williams successfully won the award!

played an average of 25.2 minutes per game, scored 15.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 turnovers, and won 42.91% of the votes.

After the award was announced, everyone on the Clippers felt sorry for Crawford, and if it weren't for the injury, maybe the veteran would have had a chance to continue to win the award this year.

In the regular season, he averaged 26.7 minutes per game, scoring 15.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 turnovers.

Both of them are shooting around 4 percent from the field and in their early 30s from three-point range, and in this case, Crawford lost the best sixth man, and he also has some regrets in his heart.

On the plane to New Orleans, the atmosphere group also followed the gossip about the awards.

"Maybe the voting media doesn't want to see the Clippers win too many awards, and we've already won too many accolades this season."

Li Ze also comforted Crawford, but the veteran had a better mentality:

"Don't worry about me, Kayce! I'm 35 years old and I've been in the league for many years, so this kind of award doesn't matter to me. ”

"On the bench, I just want to help the team score, of course, you know! At the end of my career, I had to think about my next contract. ”

Hearing Crawford's words, Li Ze realized that next season, the veteran's contract also expired.

"We should have won all the awards, and if I can play in the All-Star Game this year, I'm sure I'll get the MVP, it's a shame!"

Griffin felt a little upset when he thought that he would probably fall out of the game this season, and Anthony Davis stole his honor!

Paul on the side didn't say anything, but when he thought of the best team and had lemons in his heart, he would definitely be squeezed out by Stephen Curry.

A generation of newcomers replaces the old, and only Li Ze of the Clippers is still the focus of the league, and playing next to the superstar is destined not to win too many honors.

On the night of the 22nd, the game was uneventful, with all the teams in the top half winning.

At 91:96, the Hawks won a tough game against the Nets.

Despite Rivers head coach stiff work, Deron Williams was 1-of-7 and Thaddeus Young was 1-of-7 for performance, making it difficult for them to win.

Losing the game, the Celestial Empire fans took the opportunity to spray Rivers again, and the UAE only got 10 minutes of playing time, 2 of 2, and got 4 points and 2 rebounds

At 97:111, the Spurs at home exploded from the outside and easily defeated the Grizzlies, and in the other game, 89:112, the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers.

The bearded ball player was average, but Howard once again showed his dominance, with 10-of-15 shooting, 28 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers, blowing up the interior combination of Aldridge and Robin Lopez.

The Rockets' strong revenge has finally caught the attention of ball critics.

In the TNT studio, host Ernnie Johnson looked at the technical statistics after the game and said with a smile:

"The Rockets were able to finish third in the West this season, and James Harden's performance deserves recognition!"

Kenny Smith just nodded along and gave his opinion:

"Harden needs to be more efficient, 5-of-17, 24 points, half of the points are from the free-throw line, I wouldn't say about the penalty issue, but relying on the whistle, it's hard to get to the Finals."

Charles Barkley suddenly said at this time:

"The Rockets are currently missing a good No. 1 that would free up Harden's scoring ability."

O'Neill remained silent, and immediately retorted when he heard Barkley's point:

"James Harden likes to have the ball in his hands, he doesn't like to share the ball, he's not good at playing more off the ball, the Rockets still lack a No. 4 and Taryn Jones isn't a good starter."

Charles Barkley continued to shake his head, then said loudly again:

"A good shooting guard needs to be paired with a good point guard, and the success of the Clippers has shown that such a combination can win a championship."

O'Neill also laughed out loud at this time, and then said in a playful tone:

"Kayce and Kobe play in a similar way to Michael Jordan, and Harden is not that type of player, I don't like Harden without the ball, don't forget that from the moment he enters the league, he is the ball handler!"

“.”

The bearded golfer has surged to No. 3 on the MVP shortlist this season, and despite his mixed form, everyone is aware that another shooting guard is on the rise.

It's just that except for Rockets fans, everyone doesn't like Harden's style of play, without him, there are too many free throws

Li Ze's 1 point of rain is a drizzle compared to the bearded golfer, after all, when encountering excellent big men, Li Ze prefers to solve problems on the outside.

Harden is different, in addition to solving problems on the outside, he prefers to impact the inside, rely on a strong body, and cheat the opposing team's thugs for fouls.

This style of play is naturally unflattering, but the Rockets' record is solid, so the bearded player's style of play is currently quite controversial.

But black and red are also red! It's better to have attention than no one!

On the night of the 23rd, there were three games on the day, and the Clippers, Cavaliers, and Bulls all led 2:0, and in this case, G3 was very important for the teams that were behind.

At the Dipont Center Arena, the Pelicans wore red jerseys tonight, and the team's uniform team also intimately distributed red cheering T-shirts to the fans who attended.

The fans in the small ball market were even more enthusiastic, with more than 12,000 spectators present tonight, cheering loudly for the home team from the opening moment.

After halftime, the Pelicans' performance did not disappoint fans, 61:57, the team only trailed the Clippers by four points.

The game was broadcast by ESPN, and commentator Mike Brin felt lucky that tonight's game didn't take place:

"In the first half, Anthony Davis played exceptionally well, shooting 7-of-12 for 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists."

"Of course, Monty Williams' head coach change is also worthy of recognition, Tyrek Evans played as the starting point guard, and performed impeccably, 6 of 8, and scored 14 points efficiently!"

Jeff Van Gundy held his glasses and looked at the technical stats, not singing praises for the Pelicans:

"Old question! Eric Gordon was on fire again tonight, and Kayce still scored easily, 8-of-13, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. ”

"If the Pelicans have a problem with offense in the second half, I think Kayce can easily take the game away with a consistent offense."

“.”

In the away dressing room, Li Ze was not satisfied with his performance, and after the first two games, he received another purple badge:

Achievement Badge [Green Machine] :(Mergetable)

Hit a high-difficulty shot in a row to get an extra bonus. (Bonus properties can be specified)

After seeing this badge last night, Li Ze hesitated for a moment, and then fused the purple badge into the super badge, and the result was that the attributes did not change.

However, in the game, Li Ze has already felt the difference, in addition to concentrating and entering the zone state, he can also enjoy additional bonuses in individual moments.

For example, at the moment of breakthrough, he hoped that his speed would be faster, and the super badge would respond, which was very mysterious, but it also brought some trouble to Li Ze, and his physical strength seemed to be insufficient

Unconsciously, the Super Badge responded frequently, causing Li Ze's physical energy to be consumed rapidly, and at halftime, Griffin saw that Li Ze was gasping for breath, and immediately whispered in surprise:

"You went out last night to have a good time? With such intensity, it can be tiring at halftime? ”

Hearing the ridicule of the surface brothers, Li Ze said angrily:

"The pillow in the hotel is uncomfortable, it's just not a good rest, it's not a big problem, the third quarter of the game is over!"

No one else noticed the change in Li Ze, Paul played average in the first half, Tyrek Evans, Eric Gordon, and Holiday took turns defending him, constantly fighting physically, and the Pelicans began to pinch soft persimmons again.

"Pay attention to the defensive rotation, let go of your hands and feet, I need everyone to increase the intensity on the defensive end!"

The high-spirited head coach De Nagro did not mention tactical adjustments, and simply sent chicken soup and ended up sending a simple reminder that the coaching staff believed in the strength of the team.

After the start of the third quarter, the two sides got back to the main lineup, and the Clippers took the lead in attacking, and Paul noticed that Eric Gordon was ready to lead the defense again, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Many Pelicans fans in red cheering T-shirts all stood up and cheered loudly on the defense:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The 4-point difference made the Pelicans full of motivation, and Tyrek Evans came to the starting lineup tonight, in addition to playing the No. 1 position, the defensive end is also responsible for marking Li Ze.

With the ball in his right hand across half court, Paul immediately fed the ball to Griffin in the elbow area on the left side of the free-throw line, and then quickly moved to the right wing.

Li Ze first asked for the ball with his back in the left blocking area, noticed that Evans kept going around, and suddenly turned deftly.

Tyrek Evanston was taken aback, and subconsciously thought that Li Ze was going to cut in without the ball, so he hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, and just chased Li Ze, he was immediately pushed covertly.

When he wanted to continue to defend again, he saw that Li Ze had accelerated to the left wing outside the three-point line.

Pelican fans immediately erupted in boos the moment Li Ze received the ball, and seeing Tyrek Evans desperately chasing after the defense, he immediately stepped with his left foot, lowered his body's center of gravity and feigned a breakthrough.

The realistic feints made Terrick Evans subconsciously slow down and prepare to slide to the right rear, but the next second, he saw Li Ze immediately retract his feet and shoot a dry pull-out jump shot outside the three-point line!

“Kayce，Way downtown！”

The three-pointer hollowed into the net, and commentator Mike Brin almost burst out laughing and shouted briskly.

Tyrek Evans was shaken by a simple feint and almost threw himself into the street, continuously mobilizing his body's center of gravity, and his body was a little unable to keep up with his brain

"Shh

Seeing Griffin and Li Ze high-five in celebration, the Pelicans fans booed wildly again.

At 64:57, the difference instantly came to 7 points, and Coach Monty Williams was a little anxious, standing on the sidelines and constantly reminding his players loudly:

"Focus! Don't let him take easy shots from beyond the three-point line! ”

In pursuit of a success rate, the Pelicans kept their offensive tempo as slow as possible.

Passing the ball from the outside, pulling the Clippers' defense, Anthony Davis on the inside took advantage of Asik's cross cover in the three-second zone and quickly came to the left blocking area to ask for the ball with his back.

Tyrek Evans delivered a lobby pass and immediately moved to the top of the arc to open up the attacking space.

Li Ze paid attention to Terek Evans beside him, and at the same time looked at Anthony Davis's movements behind him.

Seeing the team's star player receiving the ball, Pelicans fans excitedly shouted:

“Take flight，Pelians！ (Take off, Pelicans!) ） Take fight”

Halfway through the shouting, Anthony Davis did not choose to play with his back to the single, but put the ball with his right hand and crossed to break through.

Just let the ball dribble, Griffin blocked it head-on, Li Ze slid from the top of the arc very fast, and before Anthony Davis could react, his right hand lost control of the ball.

"Ahh

Anthony Davis subconsciously exclaimed, and when he turned his head, he saw that Li Ze had successfully copied the ball, and the ball in his right hand was constantly accelerating.

Tyrek Evans stepped forward for the first time to delay, and gave a physical confrontation on his side, preventing Li Ze from getting up to speed easily.

Li Ze, who was moving, immediately took the initiative to exert force at the moment when the opponent was on the defensive, opened the way with his shoulder, and knocked Terrick Evans into the loss of his body's center of gravity.

Coach Monty Williams, who was on the sidelines, jumped up excitedly and roared at the linesman:

"Bump into someone foul! Obvious foul! ”

It's a pity that the linesman trotted all the way and didn't pay attention to the sound in his ears at all.

Li Ze easily got rid of the defense, kept accelerating with the ball in his right hand, ignored the pursuit of Terrick Evans behind him, took off directly in the paint area, and easily glided and dunked in the boos of the fans!

After completing the dunk, Li Ze returned to the defense, smiled and put his left hand to his ear, making a gesture of listening to the fans at the scene.

"Shhhhh

At 66:57, seeing that the point difference was about to reach double digits again, the Pelicans fans were a little broken and could only boo helplessly

Tyrek Evans rubbed his chest, cursed in his heart, and quickly dribbled across the half court again, the same position, changed directions, and Anthony Davis once again turned his back to the ball in the right blocking area.

Having learned the lesson of the last time, he immediately threw the ball to Tyrek Evans at the top of the arc at the moment when Li Ze contracted to help the defense.

The latter received the pass, did not hesitate, and immediately jumped to shoot!

"Bang!"

Tyrek Evans, who had a very high first-half shooting percentage, hit a shot this time.

As soon as the long rebound ball popped up, Li Ze made an excellent prediction, grabbed in front of Evans, successfully protected the backcourt rebound, and then rushed with the ball.

With his left hand forward, Li Ze carried Tyrek Evans through the half.

The players of the two teams had just crossed the halfway line at this time, and when Li Ze approached the three-point line on the left wing, he held the ball in his left hand and pulled back sharply.

After a sudden stop after an all-out sprint, Tyrek Evans only felt soreness in his knees, and he didn't have time to make a pounce, and Li Ze made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

“OH！ Kayce with another one！ ”

Li Ze's signature conversion three-pointer was followed by commentator Mike Brin shouting again.

The Pelicans fans could only let out an exclamation, and when they noticed that the score had become 69:57, their hearts were cold, and they could only shout angrily when they saw Li Ze raise three fingers and celebrate with a smile.

The Monty Williams head coach reluctantly called a timeout, and just over a minute into the game.

After the timeout, Tyrek Evans quickly went numb.

On the defensive end, he kept chasing Li Ze around the screen, but to no avail, and Li Ze continued to fire from outside the three-point line.

On the offensive end, as the player with the best outside touch in the first half, at this time suddenly hit the iron, Tyrek Evans received a pass from Anthony Davis this time after a few rounds of iron, and chose to break through with his left hand at the top of the arc.

Noticing that little Jordan under the basket was stuck behind Asik, Tyrek Evans was overjoyed, stuck Li Ze half of his body, quickly vacated in the paint area, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and was ready to smash the dunk with his arm!

Li Ze didn't expect the other party to be so confident, and the two jumped almost at the same time.

The moment Tyrek Evans charged his arm, Li Ze blocked with one hand with his right hand.

In the air battle, Tyrek Evans used his strength to feed, but the force was too strong, and after Li Ze finished pressing the hat, he lost his body center of gravity and slapped horizontally on the floor.

"Oh ahh

Tyrek Evans fell to the ground in pain, and Lee regained control of the ball, then immediately got on the ball to Paul, and the Clippers launched a transition offense.

Pelicans fans could only scream and boo, but they couldn't interfere with the Clippers' offense.

There were more opportunities to play less in the frontcourt, Paul was fast, Eric Gordon was a little confused in one defense and two defenses, and Li Ze did not choose to impact the basket, but took the initiative to run to the right wing.

Paul, who was advancing quickly, passed the ball from behind in a chic manner, and after Li Ze received the ball near the right sideline, he didn't make any adjustments, and just took the ball and threw it!

“Kayce！ From deep，BANG！！ ”

“He is two-way player！”

The back-to-back three-pointers, coupled with an excellent performance on the defensive end, were thoroughly watched by commentator Mike Brin and constantly praised loudly.

75:63, less than half a quarter of the game, everyone on the Pelicans was a little confused, Anthony Davis looked at Li Ze who was smiling and retreating, and even began to doubt life.

With every turnover, every iron hit, the Clippers almost seized the opportunity, and with Tyrek Evans completely inaccurate, the Pelicans fell into a scoring drought for a while.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans entered a state of free throws, and in the face of Li Ze's breakthrough, Tyrek Evans fouled to give away points.

The first half was full of confidence, and at this time, watching Li Ze walk to the free throw line, Tyrek Evans was completely numb, 0 of 5, and he knew that he had scored zero eggs

"The Pelicans struggled to respond, and Kayce exploded in the third quarter, relying on offense and easily destroying the opponent's defense."

Mark Jackson couldn't blow it anymore, it was too violent, and when he saw Li Zejia hit a free throw, he was substituted, and commentator Mike Brin also blew it:

"In the third quarter, 13-of-20, 6-of-10 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, 40 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, Kayce didn't want to work overtime tonight!"

The third quarter of the game ended quickly, and at 19:36 in the single quarter, the Clippers won the game easily.

97:76, Coach Monty Williams looked at such a score, and was also a little depressed in his heart, G3 is gone, the series is completely over, and he may also be out of class.

Li Ze, who had already changed into his training clothes, high-fived his teammates with a smile to celebrate, and when he heard that the fans at the scene were still booing him, he took the opportunity to wave his hand to the Pelicans fans again, and shouted loudly with a smile:

"Thank you for the enthusiastic boo!"
