Chapter 454: A Touch of a Collapse Race (8000 Words Chapter)
On the evening of April 28, the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs ushered in a tie-break.
No one expected the Bucks to survive six games, with Eric Bledsoe, who was traded from the Suns in the middle of the season, playing a big role, and Middleton's performance impressed everyone.
At the North Shore Garden Arena, Celtics fans cheered at the end of the first quarter.
At 17:30, the Celtics had a 13-point lead.
No matter how the Bucks fought back, they couldn't withstand the Celtics' offense in the end.
In the second half, the Celtics' offensive firepower continued unabated, scoring 62 points.
At 96:112, the Celtics successfully won the tiebreaker and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Soon they will meet the 76ers, and the talent basketball showdown will be played out again.
Griffin also played well in this game, 9-of-16, 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, plus Horford 13-of-17, and scored 26 points, and the Celtics crushed the Bucks with an interior advantage.
Budding Jayson Tatum also played well, shooting 7-of-16 from the field with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 turnover.
Statistically, the Big Three have taken shape, with the Celtics completing a rebuild, and Amerika's sports media raving the trio after the game because they have a good chance of reaching the Finals.
The new Tatum did not forget to pat the team's big brother on the back when he was interviewed:
"Blake has championship experience, which is very helpful to the team and we are confident that we will face any opponent!"
Compared with the performance of Wiggins and Towns, Tatum can be regarded as cashing in on his talent, although he is only a first-year rookie, but he has the courage to take the blame at critical moments.
The tie-breaker is indeed interesting, but the western semifinals of Mars hitting the Earth are the real traffic hotspots.
At 118:108, the Warriors flew to Houston to take the lead and get a valuable road victory.
The game turned into a battle between Durant and the bearded golfer.
The Warriors stuck to a five-small lineup, while the Rockets played one big and four small, and switched defenses as soon as they met cover.
Durant played 40 minutes, shooting 14-of-27, 3-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, and finished with 37 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 turnover.
Harden played 35 minutes and finished with 41 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers on 14-of-24 shooting, 5-of-9 from beyond the three-point line and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line.
The Rockets reduced their rotation, with only three people in the rotation lineup, including Louis Williams, Beverley, and Bamot, and the eight-man rotation almost protected the home court.
The star players competed with each other, which made the fans addicted, and Li Ze accepted the invitation of Fox Sports and commented on the game together.
After Kip Bayless switched to Fox Sports, he still has a high intensity of black Zhan, but this has completely incarnated Li Zechui in the past two years, and the most famous point is:
"LeBron James doesn't deserve to be Kayce's opponent."
As soon as the game ended, the two sides began to video link, and in the studio, Kip Bayless said with a smile:
"Kayce, after watching tonight's game, which team will you support?"
Li Ze, who accepted the invitation, deliberately put on a formal suit, and he was naturally prepared for this kind of question:
"As a fan, I will support the Rockets, and I believe that many people are like me and expect the Rockets to win against the Warriors who have a luxury roster."
Seeing Li Ze giving an answer with a smile, the host in the studio then asked:
"If you were a player, which team would you support more Kayce?"
"Both teams have your old teammates, who would you prefer to play against if the Clippers make it to the Western Conference Finals?"
"Whoever advances, the end result is the same, and as a member of the Clippers, no matter who the opponent is, the victory is ours in the end."
Kip Bayless smiled again when he heard Li Ze's answer, and began to change the subject, saying:
"Kayce is qualified to say such things, and by the way, congratulations, maybe this year's finals, you don't have to face your old opponents."
"LeBron James is going to fall in the first round, and as I said before, he can't dominate the Eastern Conference without his star teammates!"
The corners of Li Ze's mouth twitched slightly, and he seriously suspected that as long as LeBron James retired, this guy would have to lose his job on the spot
After finishing Fox Sports' commentary, Li Ze ripped off the suit on his upper body.
Lily looked at Li Ze's strange appearance and couldn't help laughing on the side:
"You can dress casually, you don't need to deliberately wear formal clothes!"
Looking at the A celebrity who came to him, Li Ze pulled the other party in his arms, and Lily didn't care, but took the opportunity to touch two handfuls.
patting off the salty pig hands on his body, Li Ze said helplessly:
"Speak well, formal wear is just to show my attitude, these media will always dig up the news from all angles."
"I don't want to hear the word megalomaniac anymore"
“.”
On April 29th, the Pacers and Cavaliers will have a tie-break battle that night, and at the same time, the Trail Blazers also ushered in the Western Conference semifinals G1.
After coming to Los Angeles, Lillard was very low-key, Jimmy Butler would let out harsh words before the game, but everyone on the Trail Blazers lowered their posture.
"It's an honor to play against Kayce, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, I cherish this opportunity, the Clippers are the defending champions and we still have a lot to learn."
As soon as the morning workout session ended, Lillard almost turned into a licking dog during an interview
The sports media in Los Angeles nodded with a smile on the sidelines, and the TNT reporters were very bored, and everyone became fans of Li Ze.
"Damien, who's going to play against Kayce tonight? How will the Trail Blazers adjust? ”
Hearing such a question, and thinking about the team's defensive resources, Lillard almost broke the defense on the spot:
"We're ready, and as for alignment and tactics, you'll see tonight and I'm sure the Trail Blazers can win one away game."
The ESPN reporter on the other side pouted boringly when he heard such an answer, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the Trail Blazers would definitely use Evan Turner against Li Ze.
After all, the double-gun body in the backcourt is too small, and it is better to pray to God to let Li Ze pull across, expecting these two to make a strong defense
On the Clippers' side, Li Ze recently commented on Fox Sports, while the inflated Paul George made it clear in an interview after the training session:
"I have a lot of respect for the Trail Blazers, but this series, we're going to end the battle in four games!"
"You know, the earlier you finish the game, the more time you get off, and that's good for us to get to the finals."
Even though Paul George took out a two-game loan for the Clippers, no one in the sports media questioned it, and many even took it for granted.
In the first four games, Li Ze averaged 38.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per game;
He shot 82.26 percent from the field, 66.8 percent from three-point range and 100 percent from the free throw line.
There was not a single mistake in 4 games, which made Amika's sports media completely speechless, and many people could only sigh:
"It's really not human!."
The non-human data makes everyone one-sided optimistic about the Clippers, or rather, everyone doesn't know how the Clippers should lose to the Trail Blazers.
In this case, no matter how big Paul George is, everyone nods in agreement:
"You've got thighs, you're right!"
The Trail Blazers didn't win a game in the regular season, and after coming to the Intuit Dome arena tonight, Coach Stotts gave him enough chicken soup.
After the warm-up two hours earlier, the coaching staff beckoned everyone to get together, and Coach Stotts showed a confident look and said in a deep voice:
"I don't care what you think of this series, after tonight, everyone has to give it their all!"
"Believe in your teammates, believe that you can hit every shot, listen, there is no perfect team, the Clippers have weaknesses, and what we have to do is respond on the offensive end!"
The head coach's words translate to the defense is that the defense can't be prevented, but they can rely on the offense, bite the score, and then wait for the Clippers to pull their hips
For nearly a week, the coaching staff has been instilling that sentiment in the Trail Blazers, and head coach Stotts wants the team to play content, even if it loses, to lose with dignity
Evan Turner was in charge of guarding Li Ze tonight, but he was in a state of listening to his left ear and right ear at this time, and after a year with the Clippers, he knew very well that the Trail Blazers just couldn't beat the Clippers.
Being able to break through the first round and enter the Western Conference semifinals is very satisfying for many Trail Blazers players.
Stotts's chicken soup didn't actually play much of a role, after all, the team's boss Lillard didn't speak, and the younger brothers could only follow silently.
The game officially kicked off at 8 p.m. that night, and on the ESPN commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy was talking about tonight's matchup:
"Tonight's game is a huge test for the Trail Blazers' backcourt!"
'Jaylen Brown has improved a lot this season, being very pressing on the defensive end and usually playing well against relatively small defenders.
"In the playoffs in the past few years, Lillard has faced Kayce's pursuit and defense, but has never been able to give much response, and I hope that he can find his form as soon as possible in this year's series."
Mark Jackson felt that there was no suspense in this round, and the old partner next to him opened his eyes and said nonsense, and he also added two sentences with a smile:
"Nurkic's ability to support the Trail Blazers' interior offense is also key in this series."
"This year, the Trail Blazers have improved defensively compared to last season, and I'm sure it's going to be a great game."
The players from both sides are about to play, and the cheerleaders' dance makes the atmosphere more and more hot.
In the player tunnel, Lillard was still expressionless, and he didn't say much in the locker room just now, he was no longer a rookie, and his pre-game rhetoric was useless.
The home team's players waved the flag before the home team's players played, and the Clippers fans cheered after a week around the court.
Li Ze was the last to play, and the Intuit Dome arena was already full of cheers, and Clippers fans were convinced that tonight would be a big win!
Taking advantage of the warm-up in the final period, commentator Mike Brin reintroduced the starting lineup of the Trail Blazers:
"Coach Stotts still used Aminu to partner Nurkic tonight, and the inside duo played really well in the first round!"
"Of course, the most critical part of this game is still the outside offense, and Lillard looks ready for it!"
The players from both sides came to the center circle, and Nurkic looked at the white fat man in front of him and had a lemon in his heart.
As Jokic pulled the ball to his own half, the game officially began.
The Clippers at home are wearing white jerseys, and Li Ze is wearing double arm guards tonight, and he will attack the basket more in this series.
“Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! ”
In the huge cheers of the fans, Li Ze dribbled through the half, and Jokic immediately came to the top of the arc to block and dismantle.
As soon as Jokic was stationed, Evantner, who was in charge of defending Lee, immediately moved forward, ready to squeeze through the cover.
Taking advantage of the opponent's adjustment of the defensive center of gravity, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly dribbled quickly behind his back, and then accelerated with a heavy shoulder, pretending to break through.
Avan Turner, who didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly stuck to it again, while sliding quickly to the left.
Li Ze only dribbled a big step, then vigorously fried the ball with his right hand, and while protecting the ball sideways, he switched to his left hand to catch the ball and quickly turned around, sticking to Jokic's left side, and accelerated the breakthrough.
With a simple turn, Evan Turner bumped into Jokic when he wanted to chase the defense, and Nurkic was prepared for it and immediately delayed.
Li Ze, who held the ball in his left hand, pressed his center of gravity very low, and in the face of Nurkic, who was delayed in front of him, suddenly pushed the ball and changed direction, and did not slow down after catching the ball with his right hand, and continued to sink his shoulders to accelerate the breakthrough.
Li Ze's change of direction was large, the center of gravity was low, Lorkic was shaken into a stake, and he lost his defensive position in an instant, and when he tried to slide again, he found that Li Ze had rushed into the paint area.
Nurkic chased after him desperately while shouting to his teammates:
"Come on!"
Aminu knew Li Ze's strength very well, and without waiting for Li Ze to kill the basket, he let go of Harris in the bottom corner of the right side and quickly helped defend him.
In the first round, Li Ze did not choose to pass, approached the basket, jumped with both feet in the paint area, and crashed into Aminu who jumped up and blocked in the air.
Sensing that the opponent's arm was still pressing, Li Ze simply grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, leaned back in the air, and waited until the opponent began to fall, then he completed the throw!
"Squeak! Whew"
The whistle blew and the ball went in, Nurkic stood helplessly under the basket, and he had to carry half of the foul from his teammate.
Aminu sighed in his heart after landing on the ground, looked at Li Ze who was walking to the free throw line, scolded that he was not a person, and then silently walked to the paint area.
The Clippers fans didn't skimp on their cheers, and when they saw Li Zejia hit the free throw, the fans returned to their seats.
Li Ze, who was back on defense, clapped his hands and signaled everyone to proceed according to the game plan.
Tonight's game must properly kill the interior of the Trail Blazers, after all, Jokic is prone to fouls in defense and pick-and-roll, and if he is beaten by the opponent's low post, it will be cost-effective to accumulate 3 fouls prematurely.
The big center does have an embarrassment in this era, but fortunately, Jokic, who is inferior on the defensive end, can make up for it on the offensive end, so that the Clippers' outside players are willing to help him.
The opening game was beaten into a 2+1, Lillard was still expressionless, and after receiving the ball, he quickly dribbled through the half.
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
The huge defensive cheering did not affect Lillard's judgment, and in the face of Li Ze's pressing defense, he called for blocking and dismantling as soon as possible.
Away from the three-point line, the purpose of blocking and dismantling high is just to get rid of Li Ze's pursuit.
Without a forward change, he dribbled the ball behind his back and after switching to his left hand, Lillard accelerated sharply and tried to pass through Nurkic on the left.
The quality of the cover was average, but Li Ze still found an opportunity and chased Lillard's right rear in time.
The defensive position that is not up or down makes Lillard dare not easily stop and jump shots, and in the face of Jokic, who retreats from defense, he simply continues to accelerate and goes straight to the basket.
The riveting Lillard was so fast that he almost got past Jokic's defense in one step, and leaned forward in the paint area to try to dodge the block from Li Ze behind him.
Approaching the basket, Lillard, who was almost losing his center of gravity, picked up the basket with his left hand, and the ball just came out of his hand, and it was slapped on the rebound with a "pop".
Lillard, who was trying to dodge, was finally waited for by Li Ze in the air, and the powerful block of his right hand made the ball bounce directly into Jokic's arms.
"Oh!!"
The visually striking bandage made the fans cheer again.
Before Nurkic could react, Jokic had already rushed past him, and everyone on the Clippers was accelerating and running forward.
Jaylen Brown, who quickly rushed to the left wing outside the three-point line, received Jokic's throw, received the ball with his right hand, and then accelerated with all his might, against McCollum's defense, and went straight to the basket.
The Trail Blazers couldn't pull back in time, Jaylen Brown crushed the breakaway, chased McCollum under the basket and struggled to block, only to be carried away in the air, and finally had to watch the ball smash into the net.
"This kind of start makes me a little worried about the Trail Blazers, who can't make it easy for the Clippers to transition offense."
"If they miss a shot, they can even choose to foul on the spot, and Lillard has to control the tempo of the game."
As soon as Mark Jackson's words fell, McCollum broke through with the ball in his right hand on the left wing, and then suddenly stepped back in the left elbow area of the free throw line and hit a shot from mid-range.
The rebound was grabbed by Jokic and immediately tossed the ball to Paul George, who was accelerating along the right sideline.
The latter received the pass, completed the back dribble, re-fished the ball with his right hand, and Paul George took the ball again and lunged.
Evan Turner's delay didn't make much of a difference, as the right wing was close to the three-point line, Paul George slowed slightly, then pushed the ball sharply and changed direction, switched to the left hand and then accelerated to the break with a heavy shoulder.
Evan Turner, who kept sliding, did not lose his defensive position, and the two got tangled in the paint area, and Paul George took advantage of the situation to complete the spinning top turn, and when he approached the basket, he immediately threw the ball to the rebound with his right hand.
"Squeak!"
The referee blew the whistle and the ball bounced twice on the basket before falling into the net.
"Oh!!"
The fans cheered loudly, Paul George smiled smugly and then waved his fist in celebration, Jeff Van Gundy glanced at the score on the field and said helplessly:
"You're right to be worried, the Trail Blazers are in dire need of scoring at the moment, and they have to get the ball to the basket as soon as possible."
Li Ze was staying in his own half at this time, and Paul George hit a penalty and returned to the defense before coming forward to high-five to celebrate.
"Well done! Strive to let the opponent enter the state of punishment early! ”
Hearing Li Ze's advice, Paul George patted his chest again:
"No problem, we've won, two more rounds to try to extend the margin to double digits!"
Li Ze has a microphone pinned to him tonight, and the live director can also hear these conversations.
Commentator Mike Brin heard the prompt sound in his ears, and he was a little helpless in his heart
In less than 2 minutes of the opening game, the Clippers played a wave of 8:0, and the head coach of Stotts on the sidelines frowned, a nightmare start.
As the game progressed, the Trailblazers on the field gradually broke their defenses and couldn't attack!
Li Ze frequently played the No. 5 position to block and dismantle, which forced Nurkic to come to the upper line defense.
Evan Turner failed to squeeze past the cover for several rounds in a row, and the white fat man's body played a big role.
The high-quality blocking and pick-and-roll allows Li Ze to easily face Nurkic.
On this offense, the Trail Blazers suddenly opted for a pack, Nurkic picked up the pace and blocked Lee's right hand, while the chasing Evan Turner also completed the defense behind him.
Seeing that the pinch attack was about to form, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, was not in a hurry, his wrist was hidden, and the ball passed directly under the crotch of Nurkic who was sliding.
Jokic, who went down, faced Aminu's early defense, also did not reluctantly attack, but gave the ball to Harris in the bottom left corner.
There was no one to defend in the big space, and Harris, who received the pass, took a look, and then he made a steady jump shot!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
After the goal, Harris gave Jokic a thumbs up, and the Clippers have tried and tested this offensive routine repeatedly.
The Trail Blazers' first field goal came with Nurkic making a layup under the basket.
After a lap on the outside, all of them were framed, and Coach Stotts began to signal to give the ball to the inside to complete the attack.
"Shh
The Intuit Dome arena was booed, and everyone was immersed in the game of abuse, but when they saw the Trail Blazers resisting, they immediately booed.
Coach Stotts shouted a shouting reminder to his players to stay focused defensively.
The Trail Blazers, who broke the scoring drought, gradually found their offensive rhythm, but it was Evan Turner who stepped up.
After being released from beyond the three-point line, hitting an open shot to respond, and then hitting the free-throw line from mid-range to score two more points, Evan Turner scored back-to-back points to finally get the Trail Blazers through.
Nurkic and Evan Turner were a little overwhelmed by the defense, and after two consecutive rounds of wrapping up Liejokic, especially with easy shots, the defense became hesitant.
“ Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! ”
The more excited the Clippers fans continued to shout, the same blocking attack at the top of the arc, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, used Jokic's cover to break through to the three-point line unhurriedly.
Jokic went down, Nurkic retreated, and Evan Turner chased after Lee.
Li Ze, who had been jamming the opponent with his body and holding the ball in his left hand, approached the basket unhurriedly, and observed that Nurkic's attention was on Jokic, and suddenly his center of gravity was lowered, and he jumped forward, picking up the basket with his left hand!
Evan Turner couldn't react defensively, and Nurkic turned his head to see the ball hit the board high into the frame
Li Ze's wandering scoring made the Trail Blazers completely break the defense, and Lillard, who couldn't hold back, immediately reminded him:
"Reach out and interfere! Don't let the opponent score easily, we are the underdog! ”
Nurkic couldn't say what was going on, Evan Turner was also a little unhappy, and Li Ze had too many offensive means to predict what would happen next.
Lillard, who broke the big defense, became more resolute in attacking, this time blocking and dismantling in the high position, without waiting for Li Ze to chase after the defense, he dribbled a step and quickly jumped out of three points!
"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.
At 10:17, the difference returned to within 10 points.
Lillard, who quickly retreated from the defense with a blank face, applauded incessantly, signaling his teammates to defend with all their might.
After just a few seconds of joy, the Clippers attacked, and Paul George moved quickly from right to left, taking advantage of Jokic's delay near the baseline on the left side to get rid of the defense and bounce to the left wing beyond the three-point line.
Lillard, who was chasing the defense, worked hard and could keep up with his pace, but when Paul George received a pass from Li Ze, he ignored Lillard, who jumped up in front of him to block, and threw the ball when he caught it!
"Huh!" Three-pointers respond!
Paul George, who has a height advantage, is more and more relaxed in this series, and this psychological advantage can even increase his shooting percentage.
At 10:20, Coach Stotts reluctantly asked for a timeout, and if the Clippers made another three-pointer, then the game would be completely out of suspense.
"With 6 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter, the Clippers' starting five have all scored."
"Maybe the Trail Blazers should change the lineup on the court and rotate early!"
Jeff Van Gundy's suggestion is very unreliable, and Mark Jackson on the side glanced at the Trail Blazers' starting list and knew that the bench lineup was unreliable:
"Lillard's offense needs to be more resolute, and so far in the game, he has only scored three points, which is difficult to lead the Trail Blazers to win."
The two discussed how the Trail Blazers should adjust, but after the timeout, Coach Stotts did not make a personnel change, but chose to trust the main team.
In the second half of the first quarter of the game, Li Ze continued to launch a pick-and-roll offense, and simply broke through the ball, allowing the Clippers to keep scoring.
McCollum was completely dumb at this time, and every time he met the Clippers, most of the time he struck the iron
Coach Stotts was anxious, watching the team be defended 24 seconds faster, Aminu hit the iron in the bottom corner of the right side, and he was in no mood to shout for a while.
The long rebound ball was accepted by Li Ze, and he immediately launched a conversion attack.
Macklem, who switched to Li Ze, secretly complained in his heart, and could only slide desperately for a while.
Along the left sideline, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, kept accelerating, unaffected by the defense on his side, McCollum felt that he was going to be unable to keep up, and began to pull covertly, trying to slow Li Ze down.
The two soon came to the left flank outside the three-point line, and Li Ze, who was moving, ignored the pulling action, and suddenly pulled back his crotch sharply, and immediately closed the ball with his right hand.
Under the emergency stop, McCollum was shaken and stumbled, and then subconsciously jumped up to pounce!
Ignoring the block in front of him, Li Ze rose from outside the three-point line and quickly jumped out!
"Smack! Swish! ”
The ball went into the net and the referee blew the whistle to signal for a foul on McCollum.
The cheers at the scene made McCollum feel frustrated, watching Li Ze walk to the free throw line and helplessly raise his hand to his teammates to indicate that it was his problem.
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
Clippers fans didn't care about the game before it entered the first quarter, and when Li Ze served a burst of shouts, he broke out into huge cheers again after hitting the free throw.
At 15:32, Li Ze scored 4 points successfully, instantly expanding the difference between the two teams.
With 1:33 left in the first quarter, Coach Stotts replaced McCollum with Napier in an attempt to strengthen the offense.
But the substitutions didn't make much of a difference, and the Trail Blazers were still playing iron from beyond the three-point line.
By the end of the first quarter, the Clippers fans were already celebrating the victory.
At 18:38, the huge score difference made the game lose suspense.
"Lillard was 1-of-5 for 3-pointers, McCollum was 0-of-5 for 5 and didn't score, and the Trail Blazers couldn't have won with such a performance from the core players."
Jeff Van Gundy came up with an output, and the core players had such a performance, which was too stretched!
Mark Jackson didn't say anything, and he was also very disappointed in his heart at this time, and the commentator Mike Brin hurriedly played the round and said:
"The series has just begun, and the Trail Blazers still have a chance to make adjustments."
In the rotation, Lillard and Aminu led the team, followed by Napier, Zach Collins, and Ed Davis.
Li Ze put on his training clothes, and such a point difference made him appear in the second half of the second quarter of the game.
Coach Stotts thought the team would be able to recover some points in the rotation, but it turned out that the point gap was getting wider and wider, and the Trail Blazers fell into a scoring drought again.
"The regular season standings are still useful, and if you play against the Warriors or the Rockets, it won't be that easy."
David West's words made Li Ze nod in agreement, everyone won the first place in the league, for such a schedule.
With such an easy game, Coach De Nagro was also happy, and he was in custody from before the start of the game.
The point difference gradually widened, and the Trail Blazers' defensive intensity began to decline, conceding backcourt rebounds for two consecutive rounds, and the coaching staff knew that the game was over.
With 3:58 left in the second quarter, Li Ze re-entered the game, and the score was 31:60, and the Clippers had a 29-point lead.
Such a score difference made Li Ze completely lose interest in the game, and after shooting three shots, he was completely fished.
"Kayce sent a series of wonderful passes, and the Trail Blazers had no hope of turning the tables."
"Coach Stotts has to solve problems on the offensive end, and it's very rare to score less than 40 points in the half!"
Jeff Van Gundy is also not giving random advice, in the face of absolute strength, small tricks are useless.
"In the G2 game, the Trail Blazers had to start first, and no one could maintain defensive intensity with such a huge point difference."
Mark Jackson also veiled criticism of the Trail Blazers' defense, and Nurkic simply became Lisser's sight.
Clippers fans didn't care that the game was going to be one-sided, and by the end of the half, the huge scoreboard over the arena showed the stats of both teams:
At 36:72, the Clippers already led by 36 points, and there was no more suspense in the game, and the second half was all garbage time.
8-of-9, 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-3 from the free throw line, 21 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block.
Li Ze, who had returned to the locker room, glanced at the data on the tablet, and sighed silently in his heart, he felt that his teammates were very happy, but he didn't have too many happy emotions:
"Sure enough, it's time to leave, otherwise next season, you will have to seek the enemy in the void to be motivated"
