On the evening of April 24, at the Rose Garden Arena, Trail Blazers fans silently looked at the big screen in the center of the court:

At 46:20, the first quarter ended, and the home team was already 26 points behind.

After losing G3, many Trail Blazers fans already expected to be swept out, but it was still a little difficult to accept to say goodbye to the season in this way.

The noise at the scene was mostly reduced, and only the DJs of the home team were still desperately driving the atmosphere.

Lillard didn't rest, continued to play, and watched the Clippers take the rotation lineup again, and felt a little bitter in his heart, the gap between the depth of the two teams' lineups was too big...

On the Clippers bench, Jaylen Brown watched Brogdon at the top of the arc calmly play a pick-and-roll, break through with the ball in his left hand, and assist Plumlee to complete an empty dunk, and his heart was just right.

The Clippers' coaching staff loved the older rookie, who was clear-headed, able to attack and defend, and most importantly, excellent at controlling turnovers!

In individual games, Coach De Nagro will even let Brogdon match the starting lineup and return Li Ze to the No. 2 position...

Both the starters and the bench can be adapted, just like in tonight's game, with Harris and Gordon in the rotation to lead the team, and Brogdon played very calmly.

"Jay! Don't be in a daze, the assistant coach is calling you! ”

Jaylen Brown heard Norman Powell next to him remind, hurriedly took off his coat, and shouted:

"I'm coming! I'm ready, Coach! ”

Li Ze sat on the bench and didn't want to play anymore, with a scorer like Eric Gordon on the bench, there was no need to worry about being counterattacked by the opponent.

Paul George is eager to try, and he has played about the same amount of time as Li Ze in this series, less than 30 minutes at home and only 31 minutes away from G3.

It's no different from the regular season, and this season is the healthiest season since Paul George's injury, and the consumption is so small...

"Malcolm has a high probability of winning the best rookie this year, I dare to guarantee the ticket, ESPN will award us the best team award!"

Paul George is not like Li Ze, he has basically won all the honors, whether it is the selection of Sports Illustrated or ESPN, and the best athlete of the year has been soft.

The unlucky ones are still pursuing these accolades, and in Paul George's opinion, it would be a shame to be able to attend the annual ESPY awards ceremony.

"74 wins, such a record will definitely win the prize! As for Malcolm's best rookie, there shouldn't be much suspense! ”

What Li Ze said is true, Brogdon averaged 10.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 turnovers per game in the regular season.

It's mediocre, but in this year's rookies, it's already the top player, after all, Ben Simmons is lying.

It's just that thinking of the internal situation of the team, Li Ze is also a little helpless, there are too many players, and the data is really not enough points...

Ingles, Tucker, Plumlee, and Jaylen Brown have all taken a toll on their playing time, and it's to be expected that there will certainly be changes in the offseason.

There is not much difference in contracts, and if a team commits to a starting position, many people will most likely choose to leave.

Reggie Bullock mixed well with the Pacers, occasionally serving as a starter, and the stats didn't drop, which is indeed much more comfortable than rolling up with the Clippers...

Siakam was not on the active roster for this game, and he was relegated to the Development League by the team for most of the season.

Despite the rapid progress, he failed to fully integrate with the team, and many times the tactics often went wrong, and Coach De Nagro naturally did not give new opportunities when there was no shortage of people.

"Don't worry about your playing time, a two-year guaranteed contract, and take a long-term view!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, Siakam hurriedly nodded, although he is a newcomer, but the elder takes good care of him, and he is also a related household in the team...

Lee's college teammate Bamot has been working on basketball in his hometown and unearthed Siakam.

Although Li Ze will not take the initiative to join in the fun after becoming a superstar, in order to pull his fellow countrymen, Bamot naturally asked Li Ze for it.

Compared with other NBA stars, Li Ze does not have followers and relatives, but in the Clippers, there are also people who are sophisticated, fortunately, everyone has good talents, and Li Ze also has a clear conscience when it comes to doing things.

Lillard on the court was already breaking the defense, he was scoring, and Eric Gordon was also scoring, which gave him the illusion that the Clippers' bench was about the same strength as his starting teammate...

In a completely one-sided game, the Trail Blazers fans did not leave the game early, but everyone was not in a high mood, and by the second half, the noise was almost gone.

When head coach De Nagro saw that Lillard was still on the floor in the fourth quarter, he simply replaced the player at the end of the bench in advance to show his attitude.

Coach Stowe, who was on the sidelines, shook his head in his heart, and only replaced Lillard halfway through the fourth quarter.

McCollum clocked in the third quarter, 2-of-12, and scored 6 points tonight, while Evan Turner was 2-of-7 and only scored 7 points.

The performance of the two is also the reason why the Trail Blazers lost the opening game.

Lillard, who broke the defense, sat in his seat and covered his towel again, he couldn't blame his teammates, after all, his play in the series was also very average.

On TNT's commentary bench, Reggie Miller has already started to warm up for the next round of the Clippers:

"Kayce only played 26 minutes tonight, scored 30 points on 10-of-13 shooting, and he will likely face the league's strongest backcourt combination in the next round."

"The Rockets lead the Jazz 3-1, and D'Antoni gives the Rockets a new look!"

Chris Webber, who was on the side, chuckled when he heard the league's strongest backcourt combination, and then joked:

"The Clippers also have the strongest forward combination in the league, and I like Kayce and Paul George, both of whom can attack and defend, and most importantly, they are completely superior in size!"

"In my opinion, the Rockets' backcourt is like a strengthened version of the Trail Blazers' twin guns, and they don't have anyone who can match Kayce."

The narrator, Marv-Albert, heard the words of the two and was amused, and the old man humorously asked:

"Is there a player in the league who can defend Kayce alone? This issue does not need to be discussed at all. ”

"In my opinion, the Trail Blazers have played very well, and any team that meets the Clippers is likely to be the result."

Amid the discussion of the three, the game was quickly over, and it seemed that it was no different from previous years, and the Trail Blazers were swept out of the tournament again.

At 128:103, the Clippers atmosphere group hit hard and almost made the score 130+...

Li Ze had already changed into training clothes at the end of the third quarter, and after the game, he hugged and greeted the Trail Blazers players briefly.

"Congratulations, Kayce, for winning this year's championship! Being swept by the championship team doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing either. ”

Lillard, who was in a good mood, immediately laughed at himself after hugging Li Ze, he has lost over the years, and he has even begun to get used to such an ending...

"Of course, my goal has always been to win the championship, come on! Bro, the future belongs to young people! ”

Li Ze patted Lillard on the shoulder, they met frequently in the playoffs, and the two can be regarded as superficial brothers.

At the Rose Garden Arena, Trail Blazers fans applauded the home players.

Feeling that the atmosphere of the scene became noisy again, Li Ze suddenly remembered the turtle who was about to be out:

"The ceiling of the small ball market is too low..."

The Clippers swept the Trail Blazers in the first round, which was exactly what the critics expected.

It's just that in TNT's post-game commentary, when the director began to show Li Ze's first-round data, host Ernnie Johnson raised eyebrows at the three people next to him:

"Averaged 34.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 13.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, no turnovers!"

"That's Kayce's 28.5 minutes of play, and the shooting percentage is an exaggerated 80%, and I don't even want to say any more about the meaningless true shooting percentage!"

Kenny Smith noticed that his old partner didn't speak, and immediately added loudly:

"Don't forget, that's Kayce's average of 15 shots per game!"

Charles Barkley, who has been boasting about the Warriors this season, was silent again, and finally saw the three of them waiting for him to speak, and simply shouted:

"It's just the first round of the game, and the Warriors will finish tomorrow!"

"The game has to be played one game at a time, the Clippers are very strong, but the Warriors have more star players, and the playoffs are the stage for superstars."

O'Neal hasn't mentioned supporting the Cavaliers since his 74-win streak with the Clippers:

"The playoffs are indeed the stage for superstars, but Stephen Curry hasn't proven himself, and Durant hasn't won a championship since he left Kayce."

"Curry's stats are good, but he hasn't achieved anything, he's not an MVP, he's not a scoring champion!"

"Assist king? The king of steals? Maybe there is only the best player of the month, and he didn't stand on the stage of the finals, so he can't be called a superstar. ”

Bringing up the honor, Charles Barkley is naturally powerless to refute, and the host Earney Johnson did not plan to help the two teams with loans, and at this time began to move on to the topic of the Western Conference semifinals:

"If the Spurs advance tomorrow, then they will meet the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals."

"I'm sure it's going to be a good matchup and the Spurs have been in great form this season."

Kenny Smith is also looking forward to the series, and thinking about the matchup between the two sides, he also smiled and said:

"Without Kayce, I'm sure Leonard will prove his quality, he's definitely the most underrated player in the league!"

“...”

The NBA league is starting to warm up for the semifinals, and the Cavaliers have completed a sweep over the Pacers to become the first team in the Eastern Conference to advance to the semifinals.

In the Western Conference, the Warriors also swept the Grizzlies out of the tournament and are currently waiting for their opponents in the semifinals.

After returning to Los Angeles on the 25th, the Clippers got a week off.

On May 2nd, the semi-finals officially began, and with home advantage, everyone can wait for the arrival of their opponents in Los Angeles.

The players were given time off, and head coach De Nagro and his coaching staff continued to study footage of the Rockets' games.

This season, the Rockets have completed a metamorphosis, averaging 115.3 points on 87.2 shots per game during the regular season, ranking third in the league in offensive firepower.

Defensively, the Rockets are 12th in the league in 104.4 points, and from a statistical point of view, the Rockets are very distinctive.

The most outrageous thing is that the Rockets are averaging 40.3 shots per game from beyond the three-point line this season, first in the league, much more than the Clippers' 36.8...

In the afternoon, the players were on vacation, and the members of the coaching staff looked at the basic data of the Rockets and suddenly sighed:

"It's a tactic we had envisioned, with Kayce and Paul constantly playing single, ambushing shooters on the outside, and combining mid-range three-pointers with a perfect fit for the playoffs."

"It's interesting staffing, I've been following the Rockets this season, and Capela, the opposing interior player, is a bit like Andrew, maybe the free throw would be better?"

Coach De Nagro is not worried about the Rockets at all, the team has a lot of players, and as long as the thighs are still there, they can combine them at will:

"Let's get Brown ready these days, we're going to start concentrating the ball, Kayce has a season off, it's time to find his groove in the semi-finals!"

"No matter who the opponent is in the Western Conference Finals, as long as we win against each other, we will probably win the championship! At this time, you must give it your all. ”

The coaching staff remembered that the Clippers had not used the strongest tactics this season, and they all looked at each other for a while:

"So we're already that strong? ...”

On the night of the 25th, both the Spurs and the Rockets managed to advance.

At 99:116, the Spurs, who returned to their home court, did not give the Thunder any more chances, eliminated the opponent with a big score of 4:1, and successfully reached the Western Conference semifinals.

Turtle played 42 minutes and finished with 47 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 turnovers on 15-of-34 shooting, 5-of-18 from beyond the three-point line, and 12-of-17 from the free-throw line.

The Spurs opted to let the game go alone, and as a result, the Turtle Series was mediocre and ultimately failed to take down their opponents.

Popovich was in a happy mood, and it turned out that except for monsters like Li Ze, he couldn't win by letting go of the superstar alone.

Although the Western Conference semifinals encountered the Warriors with 67 wins, the Spurs are full of confidence, as long as it is not Li Ze's Clippers!

Even Aldridge, who joined the team last year, didn't want to encounter Li Ze, who was swept by the Trail Blazers and swept by the gentlemen when he came to the Spurs.

At the post-match press conference, the sports media in attendance could tell that Popovich was in a good mood.

ESPN's reporters took the opportunity to start asking questions about the Western Conference semifinals:

"Congratulations on making the cut, facing the Warriors with 67 wins in the semifinals, fans are concerned about how the Spurs will adjust?"

Popovich didn't care about the Warriors' opponent and replied quite confidently:

"We've got an absolute height advantage, we've got the best outside defenders in the league, and don't forget, Kowai just got a DPOY last season."

"That's the advantage of the Spurs, we have enough outside defensive resources to limit Durant, 67 wins, that's the regular season!"

The sports media in San Antonio also felt that the team had a chance to beat the Warriors, and it was natural to hear Popovich's words to applaud.

The bad old man sitting on the stage finally got rid of Li Ze this year, and for a while he had a tactical backlash:

"Let's make it to the Western Conference Finals first!"

“..”

The game between the Rockets and the Jazz finally came to the end, 96:105, and they finished the promotion at home!

Gordon Hayward played well in the key game, shooting 9-of-16 for a team-high 27 points.

But George Hill on the guard line suddenly pulled along, shooting 3-of-12 for just 12 points.

Chris Paul came back to form after returning from injury:

10-of-19, 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, 28 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers!

The bearded ballster was 8-of-20 from the field, 2-of-13 from beyond the three-point line, 16-of-17 from the free-throw line, and finished with 34 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, two blocks and five turnovers.

The two scored 62 points together, which made the Rockets fans in the Toyota Center Arena shout excitedly, and the Rockets are finally going to rise again!

After the game, Harden said confidently in an interview with TNT reporters:

"The championship is beckoning to me, and I know everyone is biased against me, but I'm going to stick to my style of play and I'm going to prove myself again!"

Since Kardashian went to nightclubs frequently, Harden's reputation has plummeted, but fortunately, the data is good this season, and the reputation has come back a lot.

In contrast, Paul seems very determined, he is a big player, and the Western Conference semifinals are just trivial.

This season, Harden's prodigal son turned back, and the two worked together happily, and if it weren't for the injury at the end of the regular season, Paul felt that the Rockets' record could rush to the third place in the West.

In his post-game press conference, when asked if encountering the Clippers would cause pressure, Paul replied with a smile:

"Nobody likes to play against Kayce's team, I know him, and together we created the Clippers dynasty."

"Harden is also hungry for a championship, and as a team leader, I will contribute my experience without reservation, and the Rockets have the quality to win the championship!"

“...”

The teams in the top half of the Western Conference have all qualified, and the teams in the top half of the Eastern Conference have also won match points.

The Cavaliers who have already advanced can wait for the winner of the Dragons and Bucks.

LeBron James has been a bit silent in this year's playoffs, a completely different form from last year's passionate state.

Seeing the Clippers and Warriors singing all the way, James's heart was half cold.

On the morning of the 28th, after the Menglongs eliminated the Bucks 4:2, LeBron James still maintained a confident demeanor in an interview with ESPN's reporters:

"I'm not going to think about the Finals, it's going to be one game at a time, and at the moment I'm only focusing on the Eastern Conference semifinals."

"The Menglong team is a strong opponent, we are ready!"

This year, Amerika's sports media did not help LeBron James loan the championship, but the title of "Eight Asian King" was thrown to James's head in advance...

Of course, LeBron James knows the public opinion environment in the outside world, but he has nothing to do, the team's lineup has reached its limit, and the salary is the first in the league, he can't ask for more.

Fortunately, he has made up his mind to prepare for the championship of life after completing the contract, and if he can't roll it, then lie down!

Amika's sports media didn't know that James was going to run away, and everyone was still looking forward to the Chosen One continuing to stage the script of the lone hero's counterattack...

The last game of the first round that night was also completely over, and the Wizards defeated the Hawks 115-99, with a big score of 4-2, and successfully reached the Eastern Conference semifinals.

As a result, all teams in the top half of the Eastern Conference have qualified, and this year's playoffs have not been under-defeated.

On April 30, the surface brother Griffin ushered in the first Eastern Conference semifinals of his career.

At 111:123, the Celtics managed to defeat the Wizards.

ushered in a good start to the Eastern Conference semifinals, Griffin was in a good mood, 10 of 18 tonight, and efficiently cut 26 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

It's just that thinking of his role in the team, the surface brothers are a little unhappy, not every player is like Li Ze, who can easily give up the ball.

Within the Celtics, Thomas Jr., Horford, and Avery Bradley all need data.

Griffin has compromised after 18 shots, and when he turned his head to see Thomas Jr. who was being interviewed, his heart was a little sour:

"On the Clippers, no one grabbed the ball with me..."

...

On May 1st, the semifinals between the Spurs and the Warriors attracted a lot of attention!

Fans know that LeBron James can be regarded as a master of dragon training, so most of the heat of the Eastern Conference semifinals that were held simultaneously were sucked away.

The dual-core Spurs met the four-star Warriors, and fans hoped that this game could be played more excitingly, but the difference in strength in the first round of this year was too big, and the game was really not good...

Most commentators expect the Warriors to win the game, and Durant missed two games in the series against the Grizzlies, barely recovering to his best from the final game.

At the end of the half-game of the night, Ameika's social media exploded.

At 62:42, the Spurs on the road led by 20 points.

Aldridge scored 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting in the half, and Leonard finished with 18 points and eight rebounds on 6-of-12 shooting, and the pair combined for six assists.

The Spurs combined inside and outside to defeat the Warriors!

Warriors fans were in disbelief, with Curry and Durant both scoring 14 points in the half, but the others couldn't step up.

At the start of the second half, Warriors fans were still cheering loudly for the home team.

In the third quarter, the game went on for 7 minutes and 55 seconds, and the Spurs were about to 24 seconds into the offense, when Leonard completed a step-back jumper in the bottom left corner.

Pachuria, the scum of the anti-block, moved two steps in a row and accurately cushioned Leonard, who fell to the ground.

Popovich was almost blown up, and while shouting at the referee, he hurriedly signaled to the team doctor to check Leonard.

Leonard, who fell to the ground, looked very painful, and this time he was not lightly cushioned, and the two sides soon clashed, and Pachulia looked innocent...

Leonard, who endured the pain of completing the free throw, was quickly substituted, and Popovich received the news from the team doctor that Leonard could not return, and immediately felt that the game was over.

At 78:55, the Spurs still led by 23 points at this time, but without Leonard, who was fully output on both offensive and defensive ends, the Warriors quickly seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The Spurs couldn't withstand wave after wave of offense and could only watch as the Warriors kept closing in on the score.

With Curry's excellent play in the final moments of the fourth quarter, in the end, 111-113, the Warriors successfully protected the home court.

Amika's social media has completely blown up, and winning in this way is really a big surprise, and it's clear that the scum Pachulia is doing it on purpose.

In an interview with the media after the game, Popovich's face was red with anger, and the bad old man didn't pretend at this time, and came up with a wild spray:

"It's dangerous and unsportsmanlike! This is not something one should do to others! ”

"The most important thing is that this person has had a lot of malicious fouls in the past, and you can also ask David, he and his current teammate scum have had a holiday in the past!"

"Think about what this unusual defense means to the Warriors!"

"You want to know how I'm feeling right now? You want to know if this injury will affect the Spurs' winning percentage? ”

"My answer is yes, 97.5 percent of the people before the game thought the Warriors would win, and they may be one of the strongest teams this season, but we still have a 23-point lead before Kawai leaves the game with an injury!"

"What can I do now? Go back for a glass of red wine and accept reality? To hell, I would never accept such an outcome! ”

Popovich completely broke the defense in one game...

From falling behind to overtaking, the Warriors did eat the dividends of fouls, although the Spurs made a lot of moves in the second half, but it didn't matter.

Amerika's sports media surrounded Curry and Durant after the game, and everyone wanted to hear what the star players had to say.

Curry, who successfully reversed the game, was in a good mood, and when asked about his teammate's Leonard, he replied simply:

"The scum should be sorry for Leonard's injury, but he doesn't have to apologize for his defensive moves, he's just trying to defend and we all know it was an accident..."

Durant, of course, also had to excuse his teammates, and replied with the same simplicity:

'I don't think Pachulia is a dirty player, and if he does, it takes a lot of precise timing, which is very unlikely.

'We're not that kind of team, Leonard is an amazing player, we have a lot of respect for him and I feel unfortunate that something like this happened and I want all the players to be healthy.'

As for the scumbag of the party, Pachuria, he has already forgiven Leonard for stepping on his feet...

All night, NBA circles were discussing this matter, and the four-star Warriors used such a tactic, which is really unappreciateable.

On the morning of May 2, most of the heat of the game between the Clippers and the Rockets was also sucked away, and the fans of Fun turned into messengers of justice at this time, tearing the Warriors on social media!

Amerika's sports media also joined in the fun, "ifing" one after another, discussing whether the Warriors could complete the comeback if Leonard was not injured.

The bearded golfer had already come to Los Angeles, and he thought that everyone would pay attention to tonight's game, but he didn't expect the heat to be sucked away by the Warriors...

As for the game between the Menglong team and the Cavaliers that was held simultaneously last night, there was not much discussion about it.

105:116, dragon trainer LeBron James made 13 of 23 shots, cutting 35 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

The Cavaliers successfully protected their home court, except for local fans in Cleveland who were still discussing the hot state of the Chosen One, most of them glanced at the results of the game and turned around and followed the "if"...

After entering the version of bro basketball, there are few blatant fouls in major games.

The consciousness of new players is rising, everyone is a surface brother, there is no need to smash the job, the era of big contracts has just come, and it is true to have money to earn together!

After so many years, the kick of scumbag Pachulia suddenly reminded fans of old-school basketball in the past.

Extreme Warriors fans shouted that this was the Spurs paying off their debts for the past, and naturally they were sprayed again...

For a while, the G1 heat of the Warriors and Spurs exploded, and even cloud fans would come up and nag a few words.

...

On the evening of May 2, the big screen in the center of the court at Staples Arena was showing Chris Paul's playoff performance during his time with the Clippers.

This video has been done a long time ago, but as a result, Chairman Cannon and the bearded golfer fell off the chain and failed to make the playoffs.

As the core point guard of the Clippers dynasty, Paul who played next to Li Ze did have a lot of highlight moments.

The Clippers fans at the scene also gave Paul a round of applause, and the chairman of the Cannon wearing the Rockets jersey almost shed tears, and the life of leaving Los Angeles was hard...

On the broadcast seat of ESPN at the scene, Jeff Van Gundy saw the tribute video of the Clippers and sighed:

"If Paul chooses to stay with the Clippers, maybe he can win a championship last season!"

"Kayce is a better fit for a traditional guard like Paul than Harden."

Mark Jackson thought of Paul's injury-prone physique, looked a little strange, and said euphemistically:

"Leaving the Clippers isn't necessarily a bad thing, playing next to Kayce is a lot of pressure, joining the Rockets and taking on more challenges, I appreciate Paul's choice!"

Commentator Mike Brin didn't have as much emotion as the two around him, he had already gotten the starting lists of both sides, and at this time he began to briefly introduce:

"The Rockets still have their inside-out, four-out lineup, with Paul and Harden in the backcourt, Trevor Ariza and Lane Anderson at front, and Clint Capela at center."

"The Clippers are just fine-tuning the lineup, and Jaylen Brown got the chance to start tonight, and it can be seen that the Clippers are still defense-oriented."

Chris Paul had some discomfort when he saw Paul George wearing the white jersey at the Clippers' home court.

Los Angeles fans love the All-Star forward, and Paul George has already amassed a fan base in Los Angeles since he joined the team.

The noise of the Staples Arena was naturally very familiar to Paul, and the players from both sides came to the center of the field, and Chairman Cannon took the initiative to hug Li Ze and greet:

"Come on! bro！ I'm not going to show mercy tonight! ”

Li Zele patted Paul on the shoulder, and by the way, he turned his head and said to everyone on the Rockets:

"Don't keep your hands dirty, I want to get my playing time to 40+! This season, I feel like my body is rusting! ”

“...”

The Rockets' role players were silent, and the bearded baller didn't speak, just raised his middle finger to Li Ze, who was pretending to be X, and this was the first time the two had played each other in the playoffs.

As Capela leaped high and flicked the ball towards his own half, the Staples Arena immediately resounded with a cheer from the defense:

“defense！ defense！ defense！ ”

Paul dribbled the ball across half court and immediately gave it to Harden before directing his teammates to start getting into position.

Rien Anderson stepped to the left wing, Paul moved to the right wing, Ariza stood in the right corner, and Capela, who was near the baseline on the left, stepped forward to block Harden.

The Rockets relied on simple and crude single blocking and dismantling, broke through the ball, and went all the way to the Western Conference semifinals.

In the first game of the opening game, the bearded golfer was quite confident, Capela had just moved upwards, and simply waved his hand to signal him to wait under the basket to eat cake.

In the face of Li Ze's defense, Harden lowered his center of gravity, and then continued to dribble under his hip and add disguise before his body, and began to move slowly, approaching the three-point line.

Harden's body, which was dribbling continuously, shook left and right, paused slightly between fast dribbles, lowered his center of gravity again, and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

The imaginary scene of throwing off the defense did not appear, Li Ze was still on his side, and Harden, who had dribbled past the three-point line, suddenly snapped twice and quickly retreated, and then quickly closed the ball.

returned to the three-point line, and finally faced Li Ze's defense, and forced a jump shot after stepping on both sides!

"Bang!"

The ball smashed in front of the basket, and the moment the long rebound ball popped up, it retracted into the paint area and Li Ze steadily accepted the backcourt rebound.

D'Antoni on the sidelines kept loudly reminding the Rockets to retreat quickly, and for a while, players on both sides rushed to the Rockets halfcourt.

The pre-game emphasis from the coaching staff still worked, with the Rockets players quickly completing the defensive alignment, and Harden guarding in front of Li Ze.

Compared to the Rockets' position, the Clippers' Jaylen Brown and Harris sank to the left and right corners, Jokic was on the right near baseline, and Paul George was on the right wing.

Li Ze's rapid advancement made the players on both sides just stand still, and they also came to the top of the arc, Harden watched Li Ze change direction before dribbling under his hip and body, and immediately cursed in his heart...

Li Ze shook left and right, and Harden was a little dazed, the two had different physical qualities and different natural technical styles.

When approaching the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly raised his body's center of gravity, completed the crotch dribble and suddenly stepped forward, and then accelerated vigorously, with a low center of gravity, and passed Harden's defense in one step.

The bearded baller hurriedly slid to the right back, but the defensive action was too big, Li Ze suddenly dribbled behind his back to complete the retreat, Harden was shaken to the spot, and Li Ze made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

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

"If there are any other tricks, hurry up and take a look!"

Li Ze retreated while reminding Harden next to him to continue to play singles.

The bearded golfer is very smart, and he is not affected by Li Ze, and he still receives the ball at the top of the arc, but this time he does not play with a head, but gives Capella at the bottom left of the basket a tactical gesture.

Jokic followed Capela all the way to the top of the arc, noticing that Capela moved two more steps up, and the white fat man defended a sinking defense.

The new Capela has performed well in statistics this season, but this time the blocking and dismantling were too early, causing Li Ze to squeeze through the cover and keep pressing Harden, who was holding the ball in his left hand.

Failed to form the desired dislocation, Harden, who accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, rushed to the paint area and immediately closed the ball, relying on Li Ze, and rushed up with three steps to complete the throwing with his left hand!

As soon as the ball came out of his hand, Li Ze came first and pinned Harden's layup to the top left of the basket.

"Smack!"

The ball bounced off the rebound and flew out immediately, and Harris on the left wing was quick to protect the backcourt rebound again.

For a while, the Staples Arena was full of cheers, Li Ze received the ball and rushed, and the Rockets hurriedly retreated.

Missed two consecutive rounds of singles, which made Chris Paul frown slightly, and when he retreated, he immediately shouted to his teammates to complete the matchup.

When Jokic saw Li Ze holding the ball to the top of the arc and approaching the three-point line, he immediately stepped up to block and dismantle.

Capela saw that the white fat man just shook for a moment and suddenly began to go down, and finally unconsciously followed Jokic to the basket.

Harden, who had been on the right side of Li Ze, originally wanted to prompt Capela to complete the pack, but turned his head and saw his teammate running early.

Li Ze, who held the ball in his left hand, used the block and then slowly broke through, stuck Harden on the right side of his body, and came to the paint area, Li Ze suddenly accelerated, stepped to the basket, and tossed the basket with his left hand against Harden's defense.

Capela, who was still on the way, realized that he had made a mistake in defense, and hurriedly jumped up to block it, only to find that the ball was high above his fingertips, hit the board and fell into the basket accurately!

"It's exactly the same technical move, except that Kayce completes the score!"

Commentator Mike Brin saw the way Li Ze scored in these two rounds, and immediately felt that there was some shrimp and pig heart...

"The Rockets shouldn't use Harden to defend Kayce on the outside, Ariza is the most suitable defender."

Every time Jeff Van Gundy talks about the Rockets' game, he will inevitably have a hint of bias, but Mark Jackson reminded loudly:

"Ariza is defending Paul George, and it can only be said that the Rockets' defensive resources are limited, and maybe Coach D'Antoni is still watching the situation on the court."

D'Antoni on the sidelines didn't seem to be in a hurry on the surface, and kept making gestures to press down, but he began to complain helplessly in his heart:

"If the team signs some forward players, why not use Harden to defend..."
