Chapter 376: Paul Who Breaks the Great Defense (10,000-word chapter)

When it comes to the NBA's triple-double record, most fans think of Oscar Robertson.

He played in 1,040 regular season games in his career and scored 181 triple-doubles, ranking first on the NBA's all-time triple-double list, averaging a triple-double in 5.75 games, and a career triple-double rate of 17.4%.

Such data is indeed outrageous, although some fans think that Big O is a brush, but in that era, being able to hit a triple-double already shows the strength of the player.

Li Ze has not played many triple-doubles in his career, and before the 15~16 season, he had a total of 10 triple-doubles in his career.

5 appearances in the regular season and 5 appearances in the playoffs.

What impressed the fans was the 13~14 season, the 63-point triple-double of Madison Square Garden, and then the three 40+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, the only one in history!

In addition to helping Turtle Turtle stabilize the rhythm of the game in the new season, Li Ze plays the role of scorer in the team most of the time.

Many fans forget that Li Ze is still the youngest triple-double holder in history, so after the opening game of the new season, the data of 54 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists detonated social media.

Fans who didn't watch the game also followed the trend, and even complained on social media:

"How the hell do the Lakers defend?"

The Clippers got off to a good start, and the championship ceremony was particularly successful that night, with only the Lakers injured.

Kobe Bryant also pulled a face at the post-game press conference, and was slapped in the first game by Li Ze in the first game after returning from injury.

In addition, the media who are engaged in things always ask him about his retirement, so angry that Black Mamba almost turned around and left.

Although the pace of the competition was fast, after the physiotherapy and the interview, the time also reached 0:00.

Naturally, the media had to stay up late to catch up on the manuscript, and everyone on the Clippers rushed home, and they had to fly to Sacramento the next morning.

Li Ze's data sparked a discussion among critics on the morning of the second day, after all, the Clippers game was too late, and they could only express it on the morning of the second day.

In TNT's show, the three games of the opening game were briefly reviewed, and then host Ernnie Johnson took the three to start comparing the performances of Li Ze and LeBron James.

"With Kevin Love, LeBron still loses, that's the gap between him and Kayce, he has to step up in the crunch time!"

Charles Barkley was very disappointed with James' performance in yesterday's opener, and finally came full fire after holding back all night.

Kenny Smith shook his head with a smile on the side, the Cavaliers were slow to heat up last night, chasing points all the way in the final moments.

Four seconds before the end, LeBron James' breakaway was blocked by Pau Gasol, new signing Mo Williams made another mistake, and then the Cavaliers lost the game.

At 95:97, to everyone's surprise, the Bulls finally had the last laugh.

O'Neal didn't say too much about last night's game, Kobe Bryant didn't need to comment, black mamba iron has become the norm, and for LeBron James, he can only say euphemistically:

"One game doesn't tell the story, but what I see is that LeBron is fitter and you can see that he's polishing his body really well in the offseason!"

Kenny Smith shifted the conversation back to the Clippers and smiled at the two of them:

"What do you think of the performance of the Clippers, from the team's data, 88 shots, 14 of 33 from beyond the three-point line, and the three-point shooting rate is close to 5 percent!"

"It was completely different from what we expected, and David Lee didn't even get into the starting lineup."

Charles Barkley thought of the scene where the Clippers threw three-pointers, and said in a firm tone:

"You can't win a championship with a jump shot, and the outside shooting percentage fluctuates over a long season, and given the strength of the interior, I think the Clippers are out of contention."

Host Ernnie Johnson saw that his old partner was talking nonsense again, and forced a smile and said:

"Chuck, don't forget that Kayce only needed 29 minutes to get a triple-double of 54 points, and I hope you won't change your opinion after that."

“...”

Clippers fans are still immersed in Li Ze's triple-double, and the game on the night of the 28th made fans realize that the strength of the Clippers has indeed declined.

At 52:46, facing an opponent like the Kings, the Clippers only led by six points at halftime.

The Kings have also strengthened this season, adding Rudy Gayin after identifying DeMarcus Cousins as the core of the team, and bringing in Rajon Rondo this season.

Coupled with the offseason signings of Marco Belinelli and Caron Butler, the team is not bad on paper.

After Rondo was sold by the Celtics, he was sent away by the Mavericks after only one year due to a conflict with Coach Carlisle.

The arrival of Rondo also made Li Ze's old teammate Dalenco Risen lose his starting position again.

At half-time, Coach De Nagro also spotted a problem with his team, with Matt Barnes in the starting line-up out in poor form.

Whether it's catching the ball or shooting, or cutting to the finish, there is a problem.

Considering Barnes is 35 years old, it makes sense to be in such a state.

In the NBA, most players start to decline after the age of 33, and the forward players are fine, and some small guards who rely on explosiveness decline faster.

In the locker room, David Lee was also a little depressed as he sat in his seat, encountering the Kings' twin tower duo of Coaves and Cousins, and the Clippers also included him in the starting lineup.

But what made David Lee feel helpless was that Cousins frequently pulled outside the three-point line, not only hitting three-pointers on the outside, but also breaking through with the ball from time to time, which made David Lee a little embarrassed on the defensive end.

The De Nagro manager did not emphasise tactical changes, only changing the starting line-up at the start of the second half.

Tucker and Ingles started the second half, and when the Clippers served from the baseline, the Kings fans in the Sleep Train Arena immediately began to shout:

“defense! defense! defense! ”

Li Ze is not worried about the outcome of the game, although Cousins is babbling and seems to have a full presence on the court, but it is all a matter of the offensive end, and the two big men of the Kings have problems on the defensive end.

Ben McLemo was in charge of guarding Li Ze tonight, and when he saw the Clippers change lineup in the second half, he felt something was wrong.

Aiming at the position of the left and right elbows behind him, McLemo began to get close to Li Ze.

Emptying the paint area, Jokic quickly came to the outside of the three-point line and blocked high at the top of the arc.

Kufus followed hard, and saw Li Ze dribbling the ball quickly behind his back with his right hand, approaching the three-point line with the help of the pick-and-roll, and the defense immediately hesitated.

Jokic went down immediately after completing the cover, so that McLemo finally chased down Lee's side, and Coopers finally chose to sink back and not let Jokic get a chance.

Kings fans at the scene subconsciously cheered when they saw that the team seemed to have finished defense.

It's just that in less than two seconds, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly went in and out on the three-point line, suddenly retreated sharply after shaking to the right, and then quickly jumped out with a three-point shot!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

Coach George Carr was a little dissatisfied with McLemo's defense, and couldn't help but command loudly:

"Stick it up, and everyone will echo it!"

Rondo dribbled through the half, noticing that the Clippers had shrunk their defense to within the three-point line, and simply signaled for a cross-cover.

After a cross screen in the three-second zone, Cousins came to the left block to receive the ball.

I wanted to rely on my weight to crush the breakthrough for a while, but the moment he received the pass, Tucker, who was on the line, came over and let go of Rondo on the left flank.

Cousins subconsciously returned the ball to Rondo, who received the ball and immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand, observed Ingles' retracting defense, and again distributed the ball to McLemer on the left wing.

The latter received the ball, did not make too many adjustments, and faced Ingles, who came up again to help defend again, and made a quick jump shot on the right wing outside the three-point line!

"Bang!"

As soon as the rebound popped up, Li Ze, who rushed to the paint area, stuck Rudy Gayin behind him and just took the rebound.

Rondo quickly returned to the defense while directing his teammates to complete the defensive positioning.

For the Clippers' transition offense, the Kings naturally doubled their caution.

After halftime, Li Ze naturally noticed that the Kings' defense was still protecting Cousins, who was sinking near the baseline on the left side and was responsible for marking Ingles in the bottom left corner.

Li Ze moved to the left wing with the ball in his left hand, Gallinari in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line quickly raised, and after fake cover, moved to the right wing with the help of Jokic's off-ball cover at the free throw line.

Rudy Gayin aimed at Li Ze to make a horizontal pass, subconsciously intercepted the passing route, Gallinari reacted quickly, failed to get the opportunity to bounce outside to catch the ball, and suddenly went straight to the basket.

McLemer in front of him didn't seem to notice the change on the court, and watched Li Ze throw the ball high.

The ball flew to the top right of the basket, and Gallinari jumped to his feet, scooped the ball in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Shh

At 57:46, the difference just came to 11 points, Li Ze smiled and high-fived Gallinari in celebration, which is also a characteristic of European players, and their running tactics are more flexible.

If the outer bomb stands in place, then there is a high probability that this round will be Li Ze's use of blocking and dismantling to complete the attack.

Rondo naturally noticed that the Clippers' defense was shrinking smaller and smaller, and with the same tactic, this time he threw a paint throw, and finally the ball came out of the frame.

The basket was in a ball, and Cousins grabbed the rebound at the first time, but the second shot was dialed by Jokic.

Watching the Clippers protect the rebound, Cousins clapped his hands in annoyance, and just wanted to complete the defense, only to find that Jokic threw the ball to the front court with one hand.

Li Ze, who rushed through the half, successfully fished the ball, and Rudy Gaiyin on his side did not dare to relax, and constantly gave physical confrontation, trying to delay Li Ze's speed.

Just approaching the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly dribbled behind his back and shook off a position in an instant, Rudy Gaiyin saw Li Ze slightly raise his body's center of gravity, and subconsciously re-defended.

The opponent's defensive center of gravity had just moved, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly accelerated and passed Rudy Gayin in an instant.

Seeing Li Ze rushing up in three steps, the fans at the scene exclaimed, Rudy Gaiyin struggled to chase the defense, jumped up to block but found that he was one step slower, and was carried away by Li Ze and picked up the basket!

"Squeak!"

The ball fell into the basket, and the referee immediately blew the whistle, and after landing, Rudy Gaiyin looked helplessly at the big screen, and the difference was 15 points...

The fans of the Kings are also emotional, and everyone feels that there is a high probability that they will confess again tonight, and they have lost a few years.

Coach De Nagro walked to the bench with a relaxed expression, the game was stable, but when he thought of the starting lineup, he still had some entanglements in his heart:

"If you have space, it's easy to lose rebounds, and there is no solution to the problem..."

added a free throw, Li Ze, who returned to defense, clapped his hands, and the game completely entered the rhythm of the Clippers.

With Cousins shooting from beyond the three-point line in two rounds, the Clippers seized the opportunity, and Li Ze assisted Ingles to shoot a converted three-pointer, and the game completely lost its suspense.

When Rondo was replaced, the difference had reached 20 points, and he didn't like Cousins' offensive options, but he just joined the Kings, and he didn't say much, just complained silently in his heart:

"It's painful to watch you play..."

Not many people have paid attention to this game, the Kings have been making a lot of achievements in recent years, and the mustached player selected has been sent to the Rockets, and now Cousins has cashed in on his talent.

In the fourth quarter of the game, fans have already left the game early, and tonight's attendance is average, and many Kings fans would rather drive to watch the Warriors game...

In the end, the Kings only withstood half of the game, and the score was fixed at 116-102, and the Clippers easily won back-to-back opponents.

There were a total of 14 games on the 28th, and although Li Ze was 16 of 26 and efficiently scored 44 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, most fans still set their eyes on the live broadcast of the game in the United States.

The Warriors beat the Pelicans by a big margin, and Anthony Davis, the son of Amerika, stepped across, 4-of-20, and finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 5 turnovers.

Stephen Curry finished with 40 points, six rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two turnovers on 14-of-26 shooting from beyond the three-point line.

The matchup between the two attracted the attention of most fans, and after the game, critics frantically praised Curry's performance, and after just one game, the Warriors became the favorites to win the championship again.

No matter how Anthony Davis performs, the fans just love this local big man, and if he plays well, he will become a promising future...

The Rockets also ushered in their debut that day, and the league's schedule was also very interesting, with the first game against the Nuggets.

Naturally, this game also received a lot of attention, but to everyone's expectations, 105-85, the Nuggets defeated the Rockets.

The inside line of Dwight Howard and Kenneth Farid burst the rebound!

Howard met his old teammate Jamil Nelson again with the Nuggets, and the two frustrated men teamed up to spark again.

Rocket fans were disappointed, and it was rare to come to the Toyota Center Arena early, and the strongest backcourt in the league was this?

James Harden was 6-of-21 from the field, including 2-of-12 from three-point range and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, to finish with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

Chris Paul finished with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers on 6-of-15 shooting, 2-of-6 from beyond the three-point line and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line.

The strongest posterior occasion cut 40 points, Rockets fans broke the defense, this is role player stats, right?

False propaganda!

The Rockets' interior Capela and Tyronn Jones were robbed of doubts...

With 23 points and 15 rebounds, Howard cut a big double-double in front of the two, and laughed and mocked at the end of the game:

"A bunch of soft eggs, you're never going to win the championship!"

The media in Houston was blown up, and after the game, they blamed Harden for his state.

The bearded golfer took the initiative to admit his mistake, believing that the loss was all his own pot:

"Losing to the opponent is my problem, you know, I'm just a little bit sluggish and I'm going to find the shooting feeling!"

The media in Houston reluctantly agreed with Harden's reasoning, and then began to accuse Paul, why did Harden and your partner suddenly become soft-footed shrimp?

Paul is also very unhappy in his heart, and it is not his reason to become a soft-footed shrimp, Khloe Kardashian can freely enter and exit the Rockets' training ground.

"I want everybody on the team to put their minds to the game, we need to put our heart and soul into it, and if we want to go far in the playoffs, every game in the regular season is very important!"

Chairman Cannon's meaningful answer also made the media reporters on the scene react, at the beginning of the regular season, Harden still pushed his ass?

The other sports reporters suddenly came to the spirit, and they didn't get along with their partners just now, so they came to a big job!

The Rockets and Warriors sucked up most of the traffic, but the Clippers didn't care about it, the players were busy rolling in, and the starting position was still undecided.

On the 29th, everyone returned to Los Angeles, and there was a game against the Kings at the end of the month, and the schedule was relatively relaxed, and the coaching staff could also run in the lineup with peace of mind.

The Rockets have become a traffic brigade, and the arrival of Khloe Kardashian has brought other aspects of attention to the team.

In this case, back-to-back, the Warriors gave the Rockets another big defeat.

At 112:92, the Warriors beat the Rockets by 20 points!

Paul did his best in this game, shooting 8-of-20, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, and 24 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

But what made him feel helpless was that Harden withered another 4-of-18 shooting and scored 16 points...

Both of them played for 37 minutes, and when they were on the field at the same time, it was basically you playing one and I playing the other, and there was no cooperation at all.

Opposite Stephen Curry played just 27 minutes, shooting 9-of-15 from the field and scoring 25 points with ease.

In addition, there was a scene in the game where Curry shook Paul near the baseline on the left side, and after the game, ball critics tweeted:

"Stephen Curry, the league's No. 1 point guard!"

“...”

On the last day of October, Amelica fans feel like it's the New Year!

There were six games that day, a game between the Warriors and the Pelicans, and Stephen Curry, who played 36 minutes, broke out again.

17-of-27, 8-of-14 from beyond the three-point line, 53 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 turnovers!

Warriors fans are almost crazy with joy, invincible!

It's just that after the game between the Kings and the Clippers ended, everyone calmed down again.

Li Ze played 34 minutes, 17-of-27, 8-of-13 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-9 from the free throw line, and scored 50 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover.

Got 50+ for the second time this season, and also hit a quasi-triple-double data, and the ball critics felt their scalps tingle when they saw the performance of both of them:

"The data is in the sky!"

On November 1st, the NBA League's current traffic leader, the Rockets, lost again.

At 89:109, the Heat, who were playing at home, easily took the Rockets.

Losing this game, Paul completely broke the defense, the bearded baller was 2 of 15, 0 of 10 from beyond the three-point line, 12 of 14 from the free throw line, and finally scored 16 points...

Partnering with Li Ze for three years, Paul has become accustomed to scoring points efficiently with a super scorer shooting rate of more than 50%, but the bearded golfer hit 2 and scored 16 points, which made Chairman Cannon feel very uncomfortable.

Not only did Paul break the defense, but the Rockets fans couldn't stand it, and reddit sprayed wildly:

"Ugly! It's the ugliest game I've ever seen! ”

"James Harden has been sucked dry by Khloe Kardashian!"

"7-of-16, 21 points, without Kayce, Chris Paul can't win!"

"McHale has to get out of class! There were no tactics on the field. ”

"On the other side, Hassan Whiteside was 12-of-15 from the field and had 25 points and 15 rebounds, oh my God! Can anyone tell me what Capela is doing? ”

"Maybe it's Harden who should be traded, and Paul + Howard won't lose three in a row."

The ball critics were all happy, and the Rockets provided them with a lot of material, and the picture of the bearded golfer's eyes defending was even on TNT's show, and everyone was watching the Rockets' fun.

On November 2nd, the NBA officially announced the first Player of the Week of the new season.

Western League's Li Ze and Eastern Conference's Andre Drummond took the award.

The Pistons had a 3-0 record in their first week of games, with Andre Drummond averaging 18.7 points, 16.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 turnovers per game;

Although the shooting rate was only 41.3% and the free throw shooting rate was only 58.1%, the data of winning all + oversized double-double still allowed Drummond to win the award.

The Clippers also won 3-0 in the first week of the game, and they abused vegetables in three consecutive games, allowing Li Ze to average 49.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 2.3 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.3 turnovers per game;

He averaged 26.3 shots per game and shot 65.6 percent from the field, 9.6 attempts from beyond the three-point line and 53.9 percent from three-point range, and 9.7 free throws per game and 96.3 percent from the free throw line.

After the awards and data were announced, Amerika's fans were dumbfounded, and most fans would not pay attention to games like the Clippers and Kings.

Everyone only had the impression in their minds that Li Ze scored very well, but after seeing the data, he was still taken aback.

Of course, the fans adapted quickly, and the backhand ran to the official Twitter and ins of 2K to complain:

"Hell game! Why can't I type such data with kayce! ”

"Trash skinning game! I don't care about star players, and Kayce doesn't work well at all in the game! ”

"Fack! Shit's 73-win model, why are Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. so much weaker than reality. ”

"The values must be changed! We need real kayce! ”

NBA 2K16 was just released in September this year, and the game has launched two versions of the cover, one is a group photo of the Clippers, and the other is a side photo of Li Ze with five championship trophies.

The game has added a fantasy dynasty mode, where players can experience the new dynasty team.

It's just that the Clippers' 73-win record is really not easy to play, and Li Ze in the game is also a 5 percent shooting rate, which makes players scold the designer for not being human...

It's not once or twice that this situation has occurred, Li Ze's record corresponds to achievements in the game, but if the values are not adjusted, Li Ze in the game is not as powerful as in reality.

Of course, the players' requirements are indeed a bit excessive, Li Ze's rating in the game is 99, and the values are basically full, and if you strengthen it, it will be completely out of balance.

On November 2nd, the Rockets visited Los Angeles, and Chris Paul went home!

On the morning of the 2nd, Li Ze entertained Jordan Jr., who came to Los Angeles with the Mavericks, and in the afternoon, he caught up with Paul by the way.

was supposed to meet with the bearded golfer, but it turned out that Harden had no humanity of the opposite sex, and finally chose to attend the party of the big ass Kardashian...

Jordan Jr. stayed well with the Mavericks, and on the night of the 1st, the Mavericks also easily defeated the Lakers.

With the offseason signings of Deron Williams and Raymond Felton, plus the return of Devin Harris and Barria, the Mavericks do have a lot of cake makers.

It's true that there is no data of 20+20, but the data of 12+12 is not difficult for Jordan Jr.

Of course, the tactical position is all about pies, and Jordan Jr. still eats cakes and scores when it comes to the Mavericks.

Griffin also lost just one game in the early stages of the tournament, and despite the shrinking numbers, winning is a good thing!

Paul was the worst, losing three games in a row by a big score, and the bearded golfer would be late for daily training, and there was no one to find out of the court.

If you want to find Harden, you have to pay attention to Khloe Kardashian, this experience makes Paul feel particularly irritated.

When he returned home and saw his baby son, Paul was in a much better mood, but as long as he thought of the situation of Team Rocket, he couldn't help but complain:

"It's hard to imagine that Harden's off-ball is so bad! This makes it difficult for the team's tactics to work. ”

Li Ze subconsciously touched his nose, this is also the butterfly effect he brings, the bearded golfer was in the Kings when he was a rookie, and he held the ball and didn't let go.

After playing for three years, it is impossible to change the habit when he arrives at the Rockets, Paul also likes to take the ball, and the two are on the court at the same time, which is indeed a bit discordant.

"Attending a party before the game, didn't head coach McHale restrict Harden's travel?"

Li Ze has already seen a photo of the bearded golfer and the Kardashian sisters on ins, and he is very curious about the internal situation of the Rockets.

Thinking of the problems of the coaching staff, Paul reluctantly said:

"Management is useless, Harden attends training on time, but the rest of the time is the player's own, and the coaching staff can only give advice, but cannot restrict his personal freedom."

Li Ze expected that the bearded golfer would have soft feet tonight, took a sip of coffee on the table, and said teasingly:

"Be prepared to lose another 20 points!"

“...”

On the night of the 2nd, in the Staples arena, Clippers fans saw Khloe Kardashian wearing Harden's No. 13 jersey and Kendall Jenner wearing Lee's No. 10 jersey.

These two girls are here to rub the heat, and after the game starts, they seem to be very involved, and every time they score, they will applaud and laugh.

Most of the time, the cheers of the two were given to Li Ze, and the bearded golfer was sluggish.

In this game, the Clippers are still starting Barnes, Tucker, Gallinari, and Jokic.

However, on the defensive end, Li Ze is responsible for marking Paul, and Tucker is responsible for defending Harden.

“defense! defense! defense! ”

A familiar shout sounded in his ears, and Paul, who was holding the ball in his right hand, felt a little annoyed.

After half time with the ball, and before he could make a tactical gesture, Paul noticed that the bearded golfer was smoking in the bottom right corner.

The new Capela was proactive and immediately came to the top of the arc for a high pick-and-roll.

Jokic understood Li Ze's defense, and chose to guard the line as soon as possible to strictly prevent the opponent's down.

The quality of the cover is not high, Li Ze squeezed through easily, the two are naturally very familiar, Paul will not change direction and shake in front of Li Ze, and the ball in his left hand is constantly accelerating.

Capela went down aggressively, and Paul's high throw gave a head start just past Jokic's fingertips.

Approaching the basket position, Capela fished the ball in the air, was interfered by Jokic's defense, failed to take advantage of the situation, and dribbled in place three seconds after landing, trying to borrow power to complete the dunk.

But the offensive intention that was too obvious was finally pressed down by the white fat man.

The Clippers fans at the scene cheered loudly, Jokic had few block scenes, Li Ze went to catch the ball, and the Rockets immediately retreated.

As soon as Ariza saw Li Ze dribbling over the half court, he was a little big for a while, and the Clippers' offensive rhythm was not fast, Tucker saw Li Zelai's logo position, cut in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line without the ball, and quickly ran to the right low post.

When Jokic was close to the three-point line, Jokic quickly ran to the right side of Li Ze and made a pick-and-roll.

Of course, Ariza knew the Clippers' tactics, but he couldn't predict how Li Ze would attack, seeing Li Ze with the ball in his right hand quickly in and out, swaying right and left, Ariza subconsciously slid to the left.

Just as he was about to squeeze past the cover, Li Ze quickly changed direction under his crotch, and then accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand.

Seeing Li Ze break through the defense, the fans of the Clippers cheered loudly, and the new Capela seemed to be blinded, and he had no intention of helping the defense at all, and saw Li Ze rush into the paint area.

Harden, who was near the baseline on the right side, reacted, but his feet were weak, and he couldn't complete the defense block for a while, and he also watched Li Ze grab the ball with his left hand and get a one-arm explosion!

"Oh!"

Clippers fans shouted for joy and dunked again! With the same tactic, the Clippers actually fought three times!

At 10:19, looking at the score on the field, Coach McHale was so angry that he immediately asked for a timeout.

The Rockets coaching staff was also a little helpless, and with 6 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter, the team fell into a scoring drought.

Paul, who returned to the bench, broke the defense, sat down in his position, and then immediately sprayed angrily:

"Hey! You have to do the defense, and don't forget that you're near the basket and you can't watch the opponent dunk easily! ”

Harden felt like he was just missing two rounds, so why should he say he had a problem defensively:

"It's obvious that the online defense is leaking, and a blocker is gone, but in the end, you blame me?"

Ariza on the side saw Harden shrugging his shoulders, and his heart was also a little angry, all of them are my pots?

Ariza and Paul are old teammates, and the two naturally agreed to the outside world, and immediately spoke:

"Hey, Bro! Everybody knows that a single defense can't limit Kayce, we just want to see your defensive positivity, you can't keep pinching your waist on the field! ”

Before Coach McHale could vent his anger, he turned his head and saw that his players were already arguing...

"Calm down, ok?"

"Defensively try to chase and offensively have to get points! I don't want to be laughed at anymore, Shet! I want to see your attitude! ”

The atmosphere team of the Rockets saw that head coach McHale also broke the defense, and they didn't dare to speak in a low voice, and now the atmosphere of the team is very weird, and everyone is complaining...

Back on the court, Paul was in a worse and worse mood, and when he returned to Los Angeles today, the Clippers opened with a tribute video, which made Paul very face-saving in front of his new teammates.

Three consecutive championships, the league's No. 1 point guard!

As a result, in the first half of the game, the Rockets were about to fall behind by double digits, so what did Los Angeles fans think of him?

The Rockets attacked, Harden finally took the initiative to ask for the ball, and at the top of the arc, his teammates all pulled away.

There was no need for cover, and in the face of Tucker's defense, Harden continued to dribble under his hip and change direction in front of his body, then pretended to burst with the ball in his left hand, and then quickly stepped back.

It's just that the feet are soft, which leads to insufficient shooting power, coupled with the slowing down of the action rate, and finally Tucker provokes interference, and the ball hits the front of the basket directly.

The long rebound bounced just into Barnes, who took the rebound and immediately threw the ball to the frontcourt.

Quickly rushing across the half, Li Ze easily scooped the ball on the right flank.

Ariza desperately retreated, and saw Li Ze accelerating the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and immediately stuck to the defense.

At the moment when the two were about to make contact, Li Ze suddenly stepped down and dribbled, slowing down while wrapping the ball behind his left hand sharply.

Before Ariza could react, Li Ze took advantage of the situation to complete the retreat, easily came to the right wing outside the three-point line, completely shook off the defense, and converted three points to quickly jump shot!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

"The Rockets can't afford to make another mistake, they're already 12 points behind!"

On the commentary bench of TNT on the spot, Kevin Harlan was powerless to complain for a while, you must know that before the start of the new season, this game is highly anticipated.

As a result, the Rockets pulled their hips at the beginning of the game, causing the attention of the game to plummet.

"I like Kayce's offensive options, where you have to shoot from the perimeter after a series of breakaways, which puts a lot of pressure on defenders."

"James Harden has to get back into shape quickly, the shooters for the Clippers are in good shape tonight, and if the margin widens again, the game will lose suspense."

The bearded ballball player was unreliable, and Paul could only attack by himself, blocking and dismantling in the high post, elbow position on the left side of the free throw line, and difficult horizontal step back jumpers to help the Rockets stabilize the situation.

Li Ze did not continue to attack, and after dribbling past half court, he moved to the left wing with the ball in his left hand, and Tucker in the left elbow area quickly cut into the right wing with the help of Jokic's upper screen at the free throw line.

The bearded golfer didn't notice the movement behind his head at all, and Li Ze's horizontal pass was thrown directly into Tucker's hand, who received the ball and threw it without much adjustment!

"Huh!" Three-pointer again!

The bearded golfer broke through on a single shot at the top of the arc and managed to pass Tucker, but his left-handed throw in the paint area hit another iron.

Jokic took the rebound again, saw that there was no opportunity to convert the offense, and gave the ball to Li Ze again.

Paul saw that Li Ze had just played half court and found that the Clippers' Jokic and Gallinari were standing in the left and right elbow areas, respectively.

Seeing Barnes' cover in the three-second zone Tucker, who quickly bounced out after a short circle, Paul immediately reminded Harden loudly:

"Shift your guard!"

The bearded golfer reacted and immediately chased the defense, but unfortunately Jokic had already moved to the left block and hung up on Harden.

When Barnes received a pass from Li Ze on the left wing outside the three-point line, there was no one in front of him, and he didn't make adjustments after receiving the ball, and shot a homeopathic jumper!

Hearing the cheers erupting from Staples Arena, Harden knew that the three-pointer had gone in again, and he was a little frustrated, and he did have some weakness under his feet tonight.

McHale had no choice but to replace Terrence Jones, take Marcus Thorton, and break the jar and swing a back 3...

The Rockets' scoring was piecemeal, but the Clippers were raining three-pointers, and Jokic seemed to play with confidence, taking the initiative to ask for the ball with his back in the right blocking area.

Li Ze came to the right flank, sent a high throw pass, and immediately ran without the ball.

Marcus Thornton, who had not been on the stage for a long time, thought that Li Ze was going to cut around the bottom line of the white fat man, and hurriedly followed the defense, but he didn't expect that at the moment of approaching Jokic, Li Ze suddenly ran back and bounced directly to the bottom right corner.

Jokic easily sent a horizontal pass, and after receiving the ball, Li Ze raised the ball and shook it, and Marcus Thorton reacted too much, jumped up, and flew directly out of the sideline...

The fans in the front row laughed, and Li Ze was also smiling, calmly adjusting, and made a three-point jumper shot in the bottom corner!

"Huh!" The three-pointer was scored again.

At 18:35, the Clippers fans were already celebrating the victory.

Seeing that the point difference went straight to 20 points, and there was only more than 1 minute left in the first quarter of the game, Chris Paul broke the big defense and lost a lot of hair tonight...

When the bearded golfer stepped to the free-throw line, Li Ze was replaced by Evan Turner, and the Clippers began to rotate personnel.

Ty Lawson sat at the bottom of the bench in his training jersey and failed to make the team's 12-man squad for this game.

Lawson's physical condition was stretched, and the daily training defense was blown up, and Powell finally rushed to the 12th man position on the team.

Coach De Nagro also doesn't look at the former Nuggets' core point guard, and if he doesn't train actively, he can only sit on the bench, and the Clippers don't allow players to get drunk...

Li Ze, who returned to the bench, briefly told Gallinari that he was still too conservative on the court.

In the simulation training, Gallinari obviously played better, and Li Ze felt that his new teammates should not let go:

"When you meet a short person, you don't need to hesitate to pull out the jump shot after the tentative step, you don't need to hesitate to fight for rebounds if you lose it, the inside line of the Rockets, the game is inexperienced, and we still have some advantages in rebounding!"

Gallinari nodded, and a lot of the Clippers' tactics for him were to get the ball in the left and right elbows after getting covered.

This is his favorite position to receive the ball, and he can shoot suddenly, but at the moment he is not very comfortable with the team's offensive rhythm, and Li Ze handles the ball too quickly on the offensive end.

On the Rockets bench, Paul watched Harden raise his eyebrows at the big ass girl, and was immediately angry.

Looking at the statistics again, Li Ze was 7 of 9, 3 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and scored 17 points in a single quarter, Paul had a lemon in his heart.

Without free throws, the Rockets' defense couldn't even reach out!

At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 22:40, and the Rockets were shot by the Clippers...

Paul stood up, bumped fists with his teammates who came off the court, turned his head and saw Harden leaning back in his chair like no one else, his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice:

"Shet! Hell the league's second-leading scoring guard! ”
