The game between the Clippers and Thunder was interrupted for about five minutes after this hictuary.

The commentators at the scene all shook their heads, "The irascible Smart smashed the popcorn at the referee again." ”

"I guess from this game onwards, the league's stadiums will be banning popcorn."

"Popcorn became a banned weapon in the NBA."

"We promise not to use popcorn first."

In general, as an entertaining competition, it is still fun to have such a vignette once in a while.

The atmosphere of the game, which had a strong smell of gunpowder, was interrupted, and the tense nerves were relaxed.

Tyronn Lue took this opportunity to pour a big mouthful of chicken soup at the players, asking everyone to cheer up, for Smart!

It's for Smart again.

Last time, he got the Clippers into the playoffs for Smart, and he almost didn't let Min Congda commit suicide.

Of course, this time Min Congda will definitely not matter.

Love to win or not, this fine is absolutely indispensable.

Paul George stood at the free-throw line and made one of two free throws.

There was too much time in between, and his hands were cold.

The second free throw missed, but Randolph grabbed the rebound.

Basket under the basket! The Clippers are 79-73 and have a six-point lead!

Westbrook dribbles slowly across half court.

The tempo of both sides slowed down again.

Pass the ball to Gordon, Gordon catches the ball one-on-one and eats Harden!

There was a scream when he got to the basket, causing a foul on Gasol Jr.

With Gordon, Westbrook, and Durant, the Thunder is really difficult to contain their offense.

Gasol Jr. felt a little aggrieved in this ball, he didn't jump, just clinging to Gordon, why did he foul?

He complained to the referee twice, but he didn't expect Fitzgerald to give Gasol Jr. a T, a technical foul!

Durant went to the free throw line, scored a free throw first, and then followed Gordon to hit both free throws, 79-76, and the Thunder closed the score.

The ball caused extreme displeasure among the fans and the Clippers coaching staff, with Tyronn Lue protesting against the referees.

"Why add another technical foul! What are you doing! ”

"I don't mind adding another one, I'm blowing the penalty game well, I'm not doing anything!"

Fitzgerald was quite tough.

Obviously, he was still angry, and Min Congda's move just now was too hurtful to his self-esteem.

And Fitzgerald is a young and vigorous referee who dares to blow penalties, and now that Min Congda has been sent out, he can only pour his anger on the Clippers players.

Fitzgerald was not afraid of the boos of the fans, and he dared to ignore others after blowing the whistle since he was 18 years old.

And compared to many referees, Fitzgerald has a good relationship with the NBA's top management, and he is likely to take on a management role in the league's refereeing work in the future.

Such a promising young figure, of course, will not have a very good temper.

Steve Cole pulled Latyronn Lue and said, "Don't mess with this guy, we're going to get the game done." ”

Taryn Luw: "What is the background of this kid, blowing punishment is so arrogant, I think Smart smashed him right, it shouldn't be popcorn, it should be grenades." ”

"His father is the president of the New Jersey Basketball Referees Association, and has worked with the NBA for many years, and has presided over referee training for many years, you know."

"I see...... Shet, tonight's game is in trouble. ”

Tyronn Lue knows it's definitely not a good thing to be targeted by the referee.

With more than a quarter of games to go, the Clippers must be cautious if they want to win the Thunder.

Otherwise, at the critical moment, the referee will make a little mess, and the result of the game will be completely reversed.

Tyronn Lue is so-so, but he has a talent for the rhythm, morale and people's hearts of the game.

Immediately after Gordon hit the free throw, he made a personnel change, replacing Harden for him to rest and bring on Butler.

Originally, he wanted to replace Milicic Jr. Gasol, but when he thought about Milicic's inside defensive move, wasn't it a whistle?

So, replacing Gasol Jr. with Bonner, it was obvious that using Bonner to deal with Perkins was a good countermeasure.

In this way, the Clippers have a very special lineup: Bonner, Butler, George, Randolph plus Curry.

This lineup is no longer a high-post pass-and-cut combination, but a pick-and-shoot combination around Curry Randolph.

Randolph and Bonner began to cover Curry repeatedly, with George and Butler picking up on the weak side.

Either crouch outside the three-point line and wait for an opportunity, or cut to the basket.

Compared with Harden-Randolph's combination, Curry-Randolph's combination focuses more on shooting after blocking and pick-and-roll, Curry is the absolute offensive core, Randolph is the support, and the outside cut is the mainstay.

And the Harden-Randolph combination, Randolph has more low posts, and Harden belongs to the organization-offensive core, distributing more balls and shooting less.

Of course, this tactical selection and distribution is negotiated and arranged by the players themselves according to their feelings and experience.

Tyronn Lue doesn't understand, anyway, I'm just arranging my troops like this, how to fight you and see for yourself.

As a result, Curry set aside the defender with a double screen, and hit a direct three-point shot at 45 degrees on the right side!

Durant then broke through the middle and dunked down.

The Clippers quickly counterattacked, Curry once again blocked and covered in a high position, found a gap to hit the basket, and picked up the basket!

Perkins was slow to move defensively against Bonner, and his weaknesses in the lack of timely defense were revealed.

If he squatted under the basket in advance and waited for Curry in advance, Curry would definitely give the ball to Bonner, and Bonner opened his hand for a three-point shot in a familiar position, and the Thunder would be even more unbearable.

But without Perkins on the court, what about the inside basket protector and backcourt rebounds?

The Thunder will surely regret why they canceled the Tyson Chandler trade because of an injury test in the first place.

Looking at Chandler's performance in last year's Western Conference Finals and Finals, if he was in the Thunder last season, it is likely that the Thunder will enter the Finals.

It can only be said that this is all fate.

After Curry hit a pick-and-roll, Westbrook gave the ball to Gordon.

But Gordon didn't take advantage of Jimmy Butler this time.

Butler entangled Gordon like a mad dog and defended very cleanly.

Let Gordon's crotch continuous dribble made a mistake, steal and counterattack!

Jimmy Butler picks up the ball and throws it to the frontcourt, Curry catches the ball, and then makes a long pass to George.

George counters and dunks successfully!

Paul George has a good time tonight!

After the goal, George spread his arms and flew around the field like a bird.

Tonight was definitely a night of metamorphosis for him, and from then on he would embark on a path to stardom.

However, in the position of small forward, there are indeed too many mountains in front of you.

There's one in front of you, Kevin Durant.

In the third quarter, the Thunder's last offense.

Durant received a pass from Westbrook, feintmed a little dummer, broke through, made a quick stop, and hit a mid-range jumper.

George stepped on the point to keep up with Durant's every rhythm, but still watched the ball fall into the basket and score two points.

Then the Clippers missed a shot from the outside, and the third quarter ended.

At 86:80, the Clippers led the Thunder by six points at the end of the third quarter.

However, Durant has already scored 30 points in the third quarter.

He was on a hot streak tonight, shooting like a sickle to reap the scores.

The Clippers' three young No. 3 positions have no one to stop him from scoring for the time being.

Some people died, but not completely......
