Chapter 425: Teammates Are Weak, Death Sighs (10,000-Word Chapter)
In the Western Conference Finals G1, many Ameica fans felt that the game would turn into a head-to-head battle, after all, the two teams were in the top two scoring charts during the regular season.
But the first quarter of the game played more than 3 minutes, the offense did not come out, and both sides were working on the defensive end.
The Warriors still started the game by finding Klay first, and after hitting a mid-range shot, Green found himself having trouble dealing cards.
In the bottom right corner, Klay took advantage of Iguodala's cover on the wing to receive the ball outside the three-point line, but Harris grabbed too fiercely on the switch and failed to have a chance outside the three-point line.
Immediately after cutting in from 45 degrees without the ball, Klay briefly shook off Harris and took a half-position lead.
Green's ground-and-drop pass was not of high quality, and he was forced to slow down after bending over to receive the ball, and was blocked from behind by Harris when he came to the basket.
Harris threw his hands up in the air and approached the paint to force Klay to stop the ball, and when Iguodala was still tugging with Tucker in the corner, Klay finally turned and forced a step-back jumper.
The shot that turned up the arc after the dead ball finally hit the front of the basket, and Durant in the bottom left corner rushed to the inside to grab the frontcourt rebound, but was firmly stuck behind Paul George.
By the time Paul George received the rebound, Green at the top of the arc had already completed the defense, standing in the half court and shouting to his teammates to hurry up and complete the defensive position.
“ Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! ”
Defending against the opponent's offense again, the Clippers fans on the scene came back and kept shouting loudly.
At 6:10, the Warriors' points after the opening came from the mid-range, and Klay, Curry, and Durant did punish Jokic's sinking defense
Li Ze, who received the ball in the backcourt, was not in a hurry, waved his hand to signal that everyone had passed the half, facing Iguodala, who was leading the defense, sideways to protect the ball, accelerated with the ball in his left hand, turned around several times in a row during the march, and dribbled steadily through the half.
There is no need to block and dismantle, Li Ze, who came to the right wing, has been protecting the ball sideways, approaching the three-point line and suddenly blowing the ball vigorously on the spot, turning quickly after catching the ball with his left hand, and pretending to move towards the top of the arc.
Iguodala had just slid to the right, and Li Ze changed direction in front of him, and the ball crossed the opponent's fingertips and fell into his right hand with precision.
Iguodala, who wanted to adjust the center of gravity of the defense, could only see Li Ze accelerating past his right side.
The fans at the scene cheered, Li Ze broke through quickly, passed Iguodala on the line, and went straight to the basket on the right wing.
Green, who was near the baseline on the left side, had no choice but to help defend, but the defense had just moved, and Li Ze, who was close to the basket, threw the ball to the upper left of the basket, Jokic jumped up and flicked the ball in the air, and the ball hit the board into the basket!
"Oh"
The cheers were a little smaller, as is often seen in the regular season, and it is almost impossible to expect Jokic to jump high and perform a one-handed dunk like Jordan Jr.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines frowned at the Clippers' simple and rough tactics, Li Ze singled, Li Ze broke through the ball, and Paul George looked for Curry's misalignment.
After the opening, the Clippers turned over and over these tactics, but the Warriors were very painful.
"Slam dunk! Nikolai! It's time for a dunk in a game like this! ”
Li Ze, who had completed the retreat, signaled the white fat man to play harder, and the fans were not interested in watching civilians go to the basket.
Jokic could only nod his head, he didn't like the game against the Warriors at all, and the pick-and-roll would be a huge drain on his physical strength a lot of the time.
Durant in the offensive round is still relatively polite, according to the team's tactical requirements, participating in the hand-to-hand pass on the line, and by the way, let Green continue to deal cards at the top of the arc.
It's just that the game is half a quarter, and Durant only feels that these boring tactics are not as happy as his single at the elbow area.
The ball went back to Curry after a circle, and after Green handed over the ball, the cover was quickly squeezed by Li Ze.
Curry, who held the ball in his left hand, still had a chance after completing the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.
Li Ze just chased to the side, Curry did not choose the middle distance, but pretended to break through and quickly blew the ball with his left hand and quickly completed the retreat.
Finally, under Li Ze's interference, he quickly jumped outside the three-point line!
"Bang!"
Perhaps it was the interference on his side that played a role, as Curry's shot hit the back edge of the basket and flew just in time to Harris, who was retracting from the bottom right corner.
Controlling the long rebound, Harris rushed with the ball, and Li Ze at the top of the arc also kept accelerating, and Harris, who saw the opportunity, simply threw the ball forward.
Despite the low quality of the pass, Li Ze still got stuck in front of Curry to get the ball, and Curry, who was chasing after him, was crushed into the paint area.
Li Ze, who was rushing faster and faster, ignored Curry's defense on his side, rushed up in three steps and took off quickly, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and smashed his arm to dunk!
"Boom!" Convert the dunk to get it!
Curry, who was standing under the basket, was a little embarrassed, helplessly spit out his braces, Paul George chased him on the defensive end, and the three-pointer on the offensive end was not opened, which was not his favorite rhythm at all.
Li Ze, who completed the dunk, smiled and trotted all the way back to defense, which is his favorite way to score!
At 6:14, the margin came to 8 points, and Steve Kerr couldn't stand it anymore and asked for a timeout with a frown.
In the Staples Arena, the fans of the Clippers were excited, the four-star Warriors were no different from the Rockets, and they were still crushed!
On the commentary bench of ESPN at the scene, the three did not expect that there was a problem with the Warriors' offense at the beginning:
"This is not the time to give in, Durant should step up and score, the Warriors continue to take turns to try their touches, and the game is going to be over."
When Jeff Van Gundy saw the Warriors' shot selection, he knew that the team was playing egalitarianism again, and everyone was touching the ball.
Mark Jackson was a little silent after saying that he prayed to God to defend Li Ze:
"It's time to make adjustments, whether it's three-pointers or two-pointers, the Warriors need to score!"
The atmosphere on the Clippers bench was joyful, and Li Ze returned to the main attacker position in this game, and the others were single-minded, desperately defending, and playing alone when they had the opportunity.
Aside from Paul George, who needs to defend Durant, there's not much pressure on everyone.
After all, Li Ze is responsible for chasing Curry, who is running all over the court, and the most difficult part is solved by the boss, and the role players are naturally less stressed.
On the other side, Durant was already a little impatient during the timeout, but fortunately, Steve Kerr also knew that the game was going to be in demand:
"We need to score, listen, we've got a good space to attack, and if you miss a shot, get to the basket and get to the free throw line, it's all better offensive options!"
The noise at the scene made Steve Kerr subconsciously raise his voice, but when he said this, he looked at Curry, he didn't want Curry to force a three-point shot at this time.
The depressed Curry can only nod and not throw three points, he can also increase the break
After the timeout, the Warriors' offense finally turned into giving the ball to Durant.
Cross cover with Iguodala on the baseline, and the Clippers changed guards again, with Harris guarding behind Durant.
After receiving a pass from Green at the left blocking position, Durant turned around, quickly tried to step with his left foot, and pulled it up and threw it after a shake!
"Huh!" Steady hit from mid-range!
At 8:14, to help the team narrow the difference, Durant quickly retreated with a blank face, and then kept clapping his hands, signaling everyone to hold on for a few rounds.
Defensive tool man Iguodala only felt a lot of pressure, and while Durant was still clapping, Li Ze suddenly accelerated his advance.
The others were still looking for the right defender, and Li Ze, who quickly came to the right flank, paused slightly in the face of Iguodala's close defense, and accelerated again.
Without waiting to get close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was moving, quickly went in and out with the ball in his right hand, and his body shook to the left before suddenly retreating.
Throwing off Iguodala's defense, Li Ze drifted slightly to the right and made a quick shot outside the three-point line!
Seeing Li Ze turn around and run after landing on the ground, the Iguodalas were stupid, and there was a huge cheer in their ears, and the ball went in again.
“Oh my goodness!”
"It's hard to describe an offense like this, it doesn't seem like a reasonable shot, but Kayce just got the ball in."
Commentator Mike Brin was also dumbfounded, this was Li Ze's third three-point shot, and the more he shot, the harder it became!
At 8:17, seeing that the point difference was about to go to double digits, Steve Kerr began to get anxious and continued to give the ball to Durant.
In a few consecutive rounds, Durant was mid-range, Durant stood on the free throw line, Curry made a jumper at the free throw line, and Curry scored on the board under the basket.
It's just that this +2 didn't narrow the gap and fell into the positional offense, and the Clippers followed with +2.
It was rare to meet Curry who switched defenses in the left blocking area, and Paul George turned around after receiving the ball, and then started to release the ball and carried Curry straight to the basket.
Green came up again, and Paul George's driving layup was eventually knocked out of the frame by interference.
The ball bounced off the basket and the Clippers began to rush for rebounds.
Durant was still rushing to grab the rebound on top of Harris, and Green jumped twice after landing.
Just about to pick up the rebound, he was lightly poked by Jokic in the back, and the ball fell into the basket again.
"Fack!"
The basket was huddled underneath, and in the end he lost the backcourt rebound, and Durant couldn't help but curse.
This isn't the first time they've dropped rebounds, and every time the Clippers break through to the basket, even if they can't score, they have to grab a lot of shots.
The failure to chase points in a row made Durant's style of play even simpler and rougher, and this time he simply asked for the ball with his back to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.
Paul George naturally died behind him, constantly pushing Durant out.
Fortunately, Green gave an advance amount, and after a half-high pass, Durant received the ball and turned around, but failed to jam the position in advance, and the ball was predicted.
Durant was just about to get off the ball to complete the three threats, but Paul George suddenly grabbed the ball and cut the ball hard, knocked the ball away, controlled the ball and rushed to the ball.
Durant, who dropped the ball, chased after him, and before he could catch up with Paul George, who was holding the ball, he saw that Li Ze in the middle had rushed through the halfcourt.
The fast attack was as fierce as a tiger, Paul George threw the ball directly into the half, and Li Ze continued to accelerate after receiving the ball.
Green behind him even pulled and pulled, but Li Ze couldn't slow down, the two arrived in the paint area, Li Ze slowed down slightly to resist Green behind him, and after three steps, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and poked his body to complete the basket!
"Smack!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in, and Green, who struggled to defend, only hit Li Ze's right arm in the end.
At 16:27, the margin returned to 11 points.
Steve Kerr paced back and forth on the sidelines with his arms folded at the thought of Lee Zega's free throw to double digits.
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
Happy Clippers fans didn't care about the game or the first quarter, Li Ze walked to the free throw line, and immediately shouted MVP.
Seeing Li Zega's penalty hit steadily, Coach De Nagro sat back on the bench with a smile on his face, and took advantage of the situation to make a tactical retreat, and the game was stable.
Curry, who endured the whole quarter of the game, accelerated the pace of the offense, and Li Ze, who faced the lead defense, improved the cover position, and took advantage of Green's delay to briefly get rid of the defense.
There was still a short distance from the top of the arc, and the half-converted three-pointer made a quick jumper!
"Bang!"
The rebound bounced into Jokic's hands in the paint area, grabbed the rebound and threw the ball vigorously with his right hand, and the ball flew straight into the opponent's half.
Green chased the defense for the first time, but was still left behind by Li Ze.
I only felt that Li Ze was rushing faster and faster, Green's defense was out of position, and he subconsciously reached out and pulled it in the paint area, and the referee immediately blew the whistle.
"Squeak"
Seeing the referee signal Li Ze to make a free throw, Green realized that the Warriors had committed a full game.
Looking at the big screen in the center of the field, Green opened his mouth wide, as if he couldn't believe that the score difference was going to be 10+.
Green, who had two fouls on his back, had no choice but to leave the game, and Steve Kerr took David West, hoping that the veteran would make a difference to the team when he came on the court.
Li Ze hit another free throw, and in the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans were already excited!
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
The huge defensive cheers also seemed to affect the Warriors' offense, and Durant hit a dry jumper at the right blocking position.
There was no suspense in the rebound, and it was accepted by Jokic again.
Li Ze immediately made a tactical gesture after receiving the ball, and dribbled the ball through the half court with his left hand.
Paul George stepped to the free-throw line, and Jokic came to the top of the arc early, moved up, and made a high pick-and-roll for Lee.
Outside the three-point line, Li Ze pushed the ball and changed direction, went to the right side to break through, and Jokic immediately accelerated down.
David West noticed that Iguodala's defense was not out of position and rushed to chase down Jokic.
At the free-throw line, Paul George's top screen delayed David West and then immediately bounced outside the three-point line.
Klay followed the pursuit, making Jokic instantly unguarded, and Li Ze in the right wing position sent a through ball with his right hand, and the ball flew straight to the basket, and Jokic dunked with both hands after receiving the ball!
"Oh!!"
It was rare to see the white fat man dunk to the end, and a huge cheer immediately rang out in the Staples Arena.
Li Ze, who gave the assist, immediately clapped his hands and reminded his teammates to continue this tactic.
At the end of the first quarter, the good news was that Curry finally didn't have to be chased by Paul George, and the bad news was that David West, who had just come on the court, took Curry's place, and the defense was frequently targeted.
David West can also hit mid-range shots, but everyone on the Warriors bench has a serious look on their faces, and this game is not right
Curry accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand after blocking and dismantling at the top of the arc, and Li Ze behind him squeezed through David West's cover and chased the defense with all his might!
Jokic made a way and watched the two rush into the paint, realizing that he couldn't get out of the defense, Curry suddenly slowed down and tried to get off the roof with Lee.
Tilting his body, Curry picked the ball to the basket with one hand with his left hand, and the ball flew into the air and was vigorously fanned out of the bottom line by Li Ze!
"Squeak!"
Curry, who was stumbling, heard the referee's whistle, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally scored another point.
"Shhhhh
Li Ze's block was replayed on the big screen in the center of the court, and the Clippers fans were suddenly unhappy, this is a good hat!
The De Nagro manager complained loudly to the linesman, but could not get a response, and simply waved his hand and signaled Eric Gordon to come on.
With 2:26 left in the first quarter, the Clippers rotated personnel.
"You're going to lose, Kevin, your defense is terrible, you should be in front of me!"
Taking advantage of Curry's free throws, Li Ze, who was next to the paint area, smiled and sent an invitation to Durant on the opposite side.
The Warriors have protected Durant and Curry very well, trying not to let the two consume too much on the defensive end, but this is not what Li Ze wants to see.
Although Durant was not satisfied with the team's offense in the first quarter, he knew that his physical fitness was not as good as Li Ze, and pretended not to care and said:
"It's only 10 points behind, and the game has just begun!"
Curry hit all the free throws, the Clippers drove the baseline ball, and Li Ze came to the right wing to continue the block, and this time David West and Iguodala stepped forward to cover it first.
Li Ze sent a hit pass in advance, and Jokic, who went down, was not fast, twisted his body and went straight to the basket.
Durant, who was near the baseline on the left side, immediately helped to stop the defense, and Jokic, who was moving, immediately threw the ball to the bottom left corner.
Clay on the left flank was the first to pounce, and Harris immediately gave the ball to Paul George on the left flank.
The Warriors' defense rotated quickly, and Iguodala, who completed the pack, quickly assisted the defense.
After receiving the pass, Paul George immediately put the ball with his left hand and broke through, went to the left blocking area against Iguodala's defense, and jumped up to pass the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc.
David West tried to lower the center of gravity of the defense, but saw that Li Ze, who received the ball, did not shake at all, and directly put the ball with his right hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
The desperate sliding didn't help, and David West only felt a slight exertion from Li Ze and squeezed past him.
Durant, who was still under the basket, saw Li Ze suddenly rush in, and subconsciously jumped up to block it!
The breakthrough process was too easy, Li Ze in the paint area jumped with both feet, fully exerted force, and after jumping high, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and pulled his arm back.
Knock Durant in the air, stay in the air for a short time, and condescendingly pick the ball into the basket!
"Boom!" Ball in and man fly!
The huge impact caused Durant to completely slam into the street, losing his body center of gravity in the air, and falling to the ground next to the camera under the basket
“Wow!”
Li Ze, who had completed the dunk, screamed excitedly, and by the way, he beat his chest to the camera under the basket.
The Staples Arena was completely fried at this time, and the fans couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw Durant hitting the street, and the dunk exploded!
The atmosphere team of the Clippers even jumped off the court, shouting wah-wah.
"Shet!!"
Durant, who was pulled up by his teammates, was almost blown up and scolded in a low voice, this is really ruthless!
A furious Durant carried Paul George to the basket on the attack, only to be interfered with by Jokic's shrinking defense and the ball slammed into the frame.
The Clippers counterattacked, and Durant sent Paul George to the free throw line with a strong basket, attacking and defending, and let the point difference continue to widen.
With Iguodala following suit, the Warriors scored 22 points in the final 1 minute.
At 22:36, the 14-point difference made the Clippers fans on the scene happy.
"It's the offensive rhythm of the Clippers, and Kayce is so good!"
"6-of-7 in the quarter, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, 18 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, the gap visible to the naked eye, Kayce seems to be on another level!"
The game was very good, and the commentator Mike Brin also became full of passion, and at this time he turned into Li Zechui.
Mark Jackson didn't expect the Warriors' offense to play like this, which was somewhat inconsistent with his pre-game expectations:
"Durant was 3-of-6 for 8 points, and Curry was 3-of-7 for 8 points, and the two combined to contribute most of the Warriors' scoring."
"0 of 6 from the outside, 0 of 3 from Curry beyond the three-point line, which may be the reason why the Warriors are currently behind! They didn't find their attacking rhythm. ”
Seeing that his old partner had no smiling face, Jeff Van Gundy was in a good mood at this time:
"The game has just started, and the 14-point margin is within the catchable range for the Warriors, but they should reduce David West's playing time."
Coach De Nagro only felt that the game had been stabilized, and combined with the strongest tactics, the Warriors seemed to have no power to fight back!
Paul George was 2-of-5 for 6 points, Jokic was 3-of-4 for 6 points, Harris was 1-of-3 for 4 points, and all five of the starters scored.
Eric Gordon, who came off the bench for a short time, also scored, and the Clippers coaching staff was very happy with the form of the players.
Durant, who was in a very unbeautiful mood sitting in his seat during the break, only felt that Li Ze had burst the outside of the Warriors into a sieve
Seeing his teammates preparing to come on the court, Durant, who was draped in a towel, stood up and couldn't help but admonish:
"Hey, be tough defensively, don't always get one step away, we don't have a big man to protect the basket!"
Klay took the lead, and when he heard Durant's words, he pouted covertly, and almost said "You can do it, you can do it."
Iguodala was also a little upset, and anyone could see that it wasn't their problem.
The defense did his best, and the offensive end still had to open up space, so hard, and was complained by the boss?
Yes Mr. Curry didn't speak, Green hurriedly clapped his hands and shouted to the players who were ready to play:
"Hold on for a few rounds, we can do it!"
The Warriors' bench lineup is dominated by veterans:
Livingston and Ian Clarke partnered the backcourt, with Klay and Green up front, and David West continuing to play center.
Steve Kerr didn't opt to put McGee and Pachulia on the floor, and the Clippers dropped back defensively, and they needed five positions to open up the offensive space.
The Clippers continue to rotate their personnel on a regular basis, with Brogdon and Eric Gordon partnering the backcourt, Tucker and Harris up front, and Plumlee continuing to serve as backup center.
Both sides have a new player in the lineup, and the height has also become half-hearted.
Steve Kerr was expecting the Clippers to make mistakes, and as a result, the game lasted more than two minutes, and the Clippers still maintained zero errors.
Eric Gordon slammed into the Warriors' interior line, either breaking through with the ball or catching a three-pointer after a screen.
The tactics weren't complicated, with cross-screens allowing Harris to get away from Green's defense, play singles with the frame, and cover off the ball for Gordon to receive the ball on the outside and complete the offense.
"Eric Gordon was plagued by injuries when he was with the Pelicans, and it almost made us forget about the former talent."
"It is said that Harden also invited Gordon to join the Rockets in the offseason, but he still chose to follow Kayce, which is indeed the right choice!"
Right wing Gordon used cover to force the inside to score two more points, and Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help but gossip about last offseason's recruitment.
Mark Jackson didn't take the conversation, Eric Gordon has opened a silver party, looks honest, and is actually a little prince in a nightclub.
During the Clippers period, Li Ze, Griffin, and Gordon, who were still new players, were happy together, and Gordon re-emerged this season, but Mark Jackson still didn't appreciate Gordon's experience.
"Klay Thompson has found his touch on the outside, but the margin has not been narrowed, and the Clippers can still rotate calmly."
Taking advantage of David West's foul, the Clippers immediately replaced Lee, Paul George, and Ingles.
After Brogdon, Tucker and Harris went off the court, the lineup became one big and four small, and Durant also came on the other side, replacing the new Clark.
With 8 minutes and 14 seconds left in the first half, Durant came on the court much earlier than in the previous game.
Ingles' appearance is a sign that the Clippers will have a period of breakaway shooting.
In the first round after Li Ze's debut, the left wing Plumlee went up to block the pick-and-roll.
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, first pretended to break through on the right side, and then quickly circled the ball behind his back, leaning on the defending Klay, and passed through Plumlee's left side.
Plumlee didn't mean to go down at all, but just put himself firmly in position, and the quality of the cover was good, so that Clay could only chase after Li Ze on the right rear.
David West, who slid up, naturally had to make a big delay, but the veteran's lateral speed was a little slow, and as soon as he came to Li Ze, he found that the ball had disappeared.
The fans in the front row cheered, the ball passed under David West's crotch, Li Ze squeezed between the two, re-fished the ball with his left hand, and then accelerated straight to the basket!
Clay almost bumped into David West, and the two defenses huddled together, forcing Green, who was near the baseline on the right, to rush forward to help.
Green's defense was just in place, and Li Ze, who was close to the paint, quickly turned around and threw the ball to Ingles in the bottom right corner with his right hand close to the basket.
Unguarded, Ingles shoots an open jumper!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
Raising three fingers, Ingles quickly retreated, and the Clippers atmosphere team also flicked the towel, everyone is brave!
At 32:47, the score difference was widened again.
Every time Ingles came up, the Clippers' interior defense would have problems, but the coaching staff accepted the result.
The opponent scored six points in three rounds, and as long as Ingles could hit two three-pointers, the result would be the same, even if he made a shot, it was acceptable.
In the face of such an obvious weakness, the Warriors played a high-low combination, and Green beat Ingles with his back, and finally easily put two points.
Green, who scored in the field game, shouted out to his teammates to defend and needed to chase the margin to within 10 points in the second quarter.
With the same tactic, this time Li Ze came to the right flank and was quickly caught again.
David West and Klay tried to block Lee on the right touchline, but with the height advantage, Lee took advantage of the height and hoisted the ball to Plumlee before the pinch was complete.
Green, who received the pass, immediately defended and Plumlee flicked the ball into the bottom left corner, and the pass was not of high quality for Ingles to jump up to catch the ball.
Trying to complete the offense again, Green came up again, with an excellent one-defense and two, which almost made the Clippers' offense stagnate.
Ingles didn't hesitate too much, giving the ball to Paul George on the left wing as soon as possible, and the Clippers opened up space, and the tactics didn't play and turned into star singles.
After putting the ball with his right hand, Paul George accelerated to break through, took advantage of Durant's sliding step, stepped down and pulled back on the three-point line, and then made a slight pause with his left hand and stepped down on the dribble twice in a row.
Leaning forward and shaking abruptly back, Paul George ignored Durant's block and forced a jump shot from beyond the three-point line!
"Huh!" Three-pointer again!
Durant was a little surprised, watching Paul George pat his chest and roar loudly, a little broken for a while, can this also be entered?
At 34:50, the difference is still not narrowing.
Durant didn't care about any tactics at this time, received the ball in the backcourt, held the ball in his left hand, quickly advanced through the half, faced Paul George's defense, jumped and dribbled and immediately changed direction in front of him.
Taking advantage of Paul George's sliding step, Durant, who switched to his right hand, changed direction again in advance, shook off the defense after the double change of direction, suddenly stopped at the top of the arc, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!
"Huh!" Three-pointers are also scored!
"Shhhhh
Looking at Durant, who was pounding his chest, there was a huge boo at the scene, and he shot completely unreasonably.
A few seconds after loading X, the Clippers sent the baseline ball quickly, and Li Ze received the ball and accelerated with his left hand to dribble across the half court.
Clay's defense just caught up, and Li Ze quickly changed direction under his crotch, while his body shook to the right.
Deceived Clay's center of gravity, dribbled quickly behind his back with his right hand, and at the same time exerted force with his right foot, and retreated sharply with the trend, after a set of shaking, Clay was gone
Outside the three-point line, on the left wing, Li Ze quickly jumped and shot after the ball!
"Huh!" Convert the three-point shot and score again!
The Clippers fans stood up and cheered, and everyone finally saw the star's response ball.
At 37:53, the margin returned to 16 points.
Seeing Li Ze smile and shake his head to retreat, Durant was a little upset, and he didn't need Livingston to hold the ball for half of the court, and then hold the ball again after serving from the bottom line.
Paul George saw Durant start to slow down after crossing the halfway line, and immediately knew that the opponent wanted to keep throwing.
Durant's body near the three-point line shook slightly, his left hand vigorously exploded the ball, his feet exerted force, and the left wing was directly pulled!
"Bang!"
Under the interference of Paul George, the ball slammed out of the basket, and Gordon in the bottom right corner controlled the long rebound, and then accelerated with the ball to launch a transition attack.
David West had just run past half court, and then he ran wildly with the Clippers, turning back at halftime, causing the Warriors to mess up the formation.
Eric Gordon rushed faster and faster, went straight to the basket, and Green, who retreated from the top of the arc, flew to interfere and the ball slammed into the frame.
After landing on the ground, Green tried to protect the rebound, but was picked up by Plumlee, who followed up.
David West couldn't keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm on the court, and when he wanted to grab the ball, Plumlee threw the ball to Li Ze on the outside.
Li Ze in the logo position received the ball, swayed right and left, and accelerated to break through after starting to release the ball, Clay hurriedly slid to the right rear and stuck to Li Ze's side.
As soon as the two came to the three-point line, Li Ze, who had accelerated the breakthrough, suddenly stopped suddenly, dribbled vigorously on the spot with his left hand, shook off half of his body, and retreated back to outside the three-point line.
Failed to keep up with the offensive rhythm, Klay's save jumped early, and when Li Ze shot the basket, he happened to be in a falling state.
Steve Cole, who was on the sidelines, saw the ball make a graceful arc and fall into the basket with precision, and immediately turned his head and called a timeout.
Even if Curry, the weak defender, is off the court, the team's defense is still problematic.
Steve Cole rubbed his eyebrows, looking at everyone who walked to the bench was a little frustrated, and there was no good way for a while.
At 37:56, the margin went straight to 20 points.
"The Warriors should replace Curry as soon as possible, and at this time, they can't tie the gap with just a two-point shot."
Despite the half-quarter to go, Mark Jackson felt Steve Kerr was too conservative.
Jeff Van Gundy didn't think there was much of a problem with such an adjustment, and said with a smile:
"Obviously the Warriors have a problem with their perimeter defense, and I'm sure Steve will readjust the rotation after G1."
"The Clippers are not the Spurs, they are younger and have a stronger impact!"
Durant, who had rehydrated, sat on his seat and sank like water, and stopped encouraging his teammates, such a point difference indicates that the game is basically over
G1 could be tentative, but it was less than half a game, losing by almost 20 points, and everyone in the Warriors broke their defenses a little.
Steve Kerr still sent chicken soup and encouraged the players not to give up, but the Warriors' three-board axe didn't work well at this time.
After the timeout, the main lineups of both sides all returned, and the Warriors completely let go of throwing at this time!
Li Ze naturally can't squeeze through every time when he chases cover, and as long as he moves a few steps up quickly after Green's hand, it can always have an impact on Li Ze.
This time, after receiving the pass, Curry completely shook off Li Ze's pursuit, and faced Jokic at the top of the arc who was retreating from the defense, and made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!
"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.
After hitting a three-pointer for the first time in the game, Curry didn't celebrate after the goal, and as he expected, the next round, it was Paul George who singled him with his back in the right blocking position
Carrying Curry, Paul George forced the basket and scored two points, no skills, all physical.
At Staples Arena, Clippers fans cheer every time they see Paul George facing Curry, and everyone prefers to see the stars matchup.
The huge point difference allowed Li Ze to calmly dominate the ball, and the Warriors, who pursued three-point shooting, also allowed the Clippers to start increasing their transition offensive opportunities.
The score rose alternately, switching offenses, Li Ze broke through the crotch with the ball in his right hand and pulled it back, shook off Iguodala's defense, and then broke through with his left hand and picked up the basket with his left hand.
Such an easy score signaled that the Warriors' defense had completely collapsed, and Coach De Nagro raised his hands on the sidelines to celebrate with the Clippers fans.
Iguodala reluctantly came to the baseline to serve, with enough strength, fast speed, and accurate shooting, Li Ze could make him lose his defensive position with a feint, and he couldn't defend it.
At the end of the half, the Clippers fans in the stadium began to celebrate the victory in advance again!
At 49:69, the Clippers led by just 20 points.
In the Warriors locker room, Durant returned to his seat and sighed silently in his heart, his teammates acting weak.
In the half, 6-of-11, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, 18 points and 2 rebounds, Durant felt he had no problem playing.
Curry is also a little disappointed, and the team is behind, which is indeed related to his poor offensive performance:
5-of-12, 1-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover.
Decent performance naturally won't allow the Warriors to win, Curry knows he should step up and score efficiently, +2 won't solve the problem.
Steve Cole looked at the somewhat silent locker room, showed a confident look, and said with a relaxed expression:
"They have a record of 74 wins, they are stronger, don't believe the boring media, we are challenging a dynasty team."
'Even if we lose this game, we still have six games to play, it's a long training game and we just have to be patient.'
There is a high probability of losing, the Clippers are not the Spurs, and the lead of 23 points can still be overturned, and Steve Kerr tried to decompress the players at halftime.
On the commentary bench of ESPN on the spot, commentator Mike Brin naturally thought of the situation in the Western Conference semifinals G1:
"Déjà vu in a half like this, I'm sure the Clippers won't give the Warriors any chance!"
"Kayce is so good, when he wants to attack, no one can stop him!"
"11-of-13, 5-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, 32 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and no turnovers."
Jeff Van Gundy looked at the technical stats and followed the "If":
"If Leonard doesn't get hurt, the Spurs should have a chance to win the next game as well."
"Kayce showed her dominance again tonight."
Mark Jackson, who was in a bad mood, didn't speak, and he also knew that the game was over, so there was some irony for such a result.
In the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs led the Warriors by a large score at halftime, and when it came to the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers also did it!
The second half of the game was basically garbage time, Li Ze controlled the rhythm of the game steadily, and the situation that 20 points was a fart didn't happen to him.
The Warriors coaching staff was speechless when they saw Li Ze, who played the third quarter, which was really too careful
In the final quarter of the game, the atmosphere at Staples Arena continued unabated, and after the atmosphere group came on, there were still huge cheers for every goal.
Jaylen Brown has been working very hard since he came on the court, and being able to appear in the division finals is already very successful for a new player.
Near the end of the game, the Clippers fans at the scene shouted loudly:
“Clippers in Four!”
On the Warriors bench, everyone pulled their faces, and it was uncomfortable to be ridiculed by others.
The Clippers fans were crazy about poisoning milk, and Li Ze didn't care, cheering for the atmosphere group with a smile, and waved to the fans at the scene by the way.
In a joyous atmosphere, the game ended quickly, 102:126, the Clippers at home defeated the Warriors!
On the big screen in the center of the venue, Li Ze's data was displayed again:
He was 16-of-20, 5-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, and finished with 43 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal with no turnovers.
Playing 32 minutes and scoring 43 points, this efficiency is no longer human!
ESPN's reporter interviewed Li Ze for the first time, perhaps because it was too easy to win the game, and everyone swelled:
"Kayce, do you hear the shouts of the fans? Will the Clippers end the series in 4 games? ”
At Staples Arena, Clippers fans are still chanting "Clippers in Four."
Li Ze, who was wearing a training uniform, waved to the fans again, and then replied confidently:
"A 74-win team should always have some pursuits, and we will definitely do our best to meet the wishes of the fans!"
"We're leaving Staples next season, and as a final farewell show, 16-0 is the best gift for the fans!"
