The situation at the beginning of the game actually made Min Congda feel a little surprised.

Although Kobe Bryant was absent, it was precisely because Kobe Bryant was not there that the Lakers started the offensive game very smoothly.

Curry got the first shot and dominated the Clippers' first offense.

Maybe it's because I'm too nervous and cares too much about winning this game.

Curry didn't shoot when he had a chance to shoot from the outside, but instead passed to the inside.

At this point, the chances were not good, the Lakers defense was in place, and Randolph's layup was missed.

The rebound was picked up by Pau Gasol, and the Lakers launched a counterattack.

Falling into the middle of the position, Gasol received the ball in the low post, and it was his younger brother who defended him.

Shannon Brown shook off Baron Davis' defense.

Under the empty basket, the big Gasol seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head.

A non-looking pass is stuffed under the basket, and Shannon Brown receives the ball and makes an easy layup.

Won the first point of the game.

Then, Curry passed the ball to Randolph.

The Lakers, for their part, chose to use Andrew Bynum to defend Randolph.

Bynum has an absolute advantage over Randolph in terms of height, reach, and weight.

Randolph's strengths lie in experience, footwork, technique, and hip strength.

Randolph didn't find a good chance in this ball, and still passed it to Ricky Davis in the bottom corner.

One of the things that Ricky Davis is better than Southton is that his three-point shooting ability is gradually developed.

The space on the Clippers court was stretched wide open, and he had a chance to shoot the ball.

But in the end, he chose to break through after the feint, and then passed to Gasol Jr. in the middle.

Gasol Jr. knew that he couldn't pass anymore, so he caught the ball and threw it directly, but he didn't hit.

The game was a bit complicated, Bynum got the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers fought back again.

Pau Gasol is the tactical core of the Lakers, and he still holds the ball in the low post.

The back is forced to eat the younger brother Xiaojia, observe, hit the back, turn left and easily hook the right hand to hit.

At the beginning, the Lakers led 4:0.

Subsequently, Curry missed a three-point attempt from the outside.

Gasol responded with a high post and a pass to Artest.

Artest slipped to the baseline, caught the ball and forced a layup.

6:0。

Obviously, the Lakers played a lot more relaxed at the beginning than the Clippers.

Because the Lakers don't care if they win or lose.

Win, play the Thunder, and on the other field, the Thunder have a big lead over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Lose, play the Clippers, just right, the series is in Los Angeles.

The Clippers are different, they must win this game.

The baggage of the players is a bit heavy and obviously can't be let go.

Not only can't the players let go, but head coach Lao Deng is also very nervous.

So after falling behind 0:6, he immediately called a long timeout instead of a short one.

It can be seen that Lao Deng really wants to win this game and then compete with the Lakers in the playoffs.

The '00 Trail Blazers are just one game away from the Finals.

The 15-point lead in the fourth quarter was reversed and overturned, and it was at Stamps.

In '06, the Clippers had a chance to play the Los Angeles derby with the Lakers.

Unfortunately, the Lakers were reversed with a 3-1 lead over the Suns.

Both Los Angeles heroes were killed by the Suns in 7 games and ended up.

This year is another great opportunity to win this game and go into the playoffs.

It was announced that the Clippers had quickly completed their reconstruction.

Lao Deng's pause had a certain effect.

On his return, Baron Davis forced a foul on the basket.

After two free throws, the Clippers finally scored.

However, the Lakers, who are more and more relaxed on the offensive end, are very fluid.

Shannon Brown received a pass from Fisher, forced Curry, and hit a throw.

Big Gasol beats little Gasol is worthy of an older brother beating a younger brother.

A hook shot with an inside turn, and a mid-range catch-and-shoot jumper.

In the first quarter, he shot 4-of-5 and dished out 3 assists, as if he was teaching his younger brother.

Da Jia really knows Xiao Jia too well.

The two brothers grew up together, and Gasol Jr. was played with his older brother when he was a child.

They grew up at the same club and worked together in the national team.

What are the characteristics, my brother is clear, and he suffers too much.

In the first quarter of the game, the Clippers' offense played very hard.

Three points, low position, these two magic weapons did not play their due combat power.

Curry shot 0-of-3 from three-point range and Ricky Davis made 1-of-2 from the field.

In the end, it was Baron Davis's strong burst that he relied on to maintain the score, and substitute Gordon's strong bulge maintained the score.

At 29:20, the Clippers trailed by nine points in the first quarter.

Such an on-site situation made Min Congda full of hope again.

"Good, very good, wonderful! The Clippers players must have been too nervous, too eager to win, and not playing well. Lakers, you have to stay ahead of the Clippers, don't relax, don't relax. Don't blind the players to the second team, just sit on the bench with garbage players. ”

Min Congda pinned his hopes on the Lakers players.

The second quarter of the game began, and the second lineup of both teams came on.

Phil Jackson is clearly not going to follow Min Congda's intention and not be a player at the end of the bench.

Their role is to give the main players time to rest in games like this.

Players such as Powell, Mbemba, Luke Wharton and others have taken the field.

The Lakers quickly got another poor offensive lineup without an offensive point with the ball.

And the Clippers, led by Gordon, played a wave of 7:0 counterattack climax.

Narrow the gap between the two sides to 2 points.

Min Congda is called a desperate, Lakers, you can support it for a while!

I don't know if Min Congda's sincerity touched God, or if the Clippers were really too stressed.

Subsequently, the Clippers were unable to turn the score over in the second quarter.

They have always been firepower, and tonight's outside feel is very poor.

The three-point shooting percentage is low, and the open position is not hit, which is a headache.

Gordon screamed again and again to break through, barely maintaining the point difference and trying his best to close the gap.

And the Lakers bench plays smoothly because of their relaxed state, and they can get easy-ball opportunities from time to time.

The two teams have different mentalities, resulting in different performances on the field, and the difference is clear at a glance.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Clippers by six points at 61-55.

This result shocked many Clippers fans who were in attendance, and at the same time anxious.

Tonight is the home court of the Clippers, because Kobe Bryant is rested, and there are not many Lakers fans who come to watch the game.

It's about whether the Clippers can qualify for the playoffs, and tickets for this one are sold out.

More than 100 seats have also been added, and the box office revenue is more than one million.

Min Congda didn't care about the box office at this time, he just hoped that the Clippers wouldn't make the playoffs.

At halftime, in the Clippers locker room, everyone was a little frustrated, and their performance in the first half was not satisfactory.

Especially Curry's play, in the first half, he shot 0 of 4 three-pointers, only scored 4 points, and handed out 2 assists, which is absolutely unqualified.

Curry was disappointed with his performance, his mind was in turmoil, and he didn't listen much to what midfielder Dunleavy had to say.

It wasn't until the start of the third quarter that Dunleavy pulled Curry to the sideline and asked, "What tactics did I set up in the midcourt, did you listen?" ”

Curry was silent, he really couldn't listen, so he shook his head.

Dunleavy nodded and said, "It's good, it's good if you didn't listen to it, let's play well." ”

Curry looked at Dunleavy and then at Min Congda, who was sitting behind the bench and eating popcorn.

He suddenly understood what the coach meant, so he took a deep breath and went to the game.
