Chapter 23 vs Los Angeles Clippers (2)

Beep----

Less than 1 minute into the game, the Lakers called a timeout.

Clippers players cheer for Griffin!
undoubtedly.

Griffin's violent performance.

Completely fooled the Lakers.

Kohler Kardashian on the sidelines clapped her hands excitedly, shaking violently.

He stared at the male audience in the back row.

"Jenna, you have really good eyesight!"

"I didn't expect this kid to be white."

"It's so fierce!"

in the history of the league.

There are indeed not many white players with such an explosive style of play.

This is why Griffin is called the "White Monster".

Fans in the Lakers stands.

The mood is not so beautiful.

"Unlucky! You shouldn't watch today's game with illusions!"

Wharton frowned, emphasizing his defense against Griffin.

Russell knew it was his mistake.

Give the Clippers a chance to break fast.

He pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

"Relax."

Zheng Long patted Russell.

"You're playing against Chris Paul, the best defensive first team."

"Stealing is a must for him every game."

"The more nervous you are, the easier it is for him to take a chance."

Russell didn't expect that Zheng Long would come to comfort him.

Show grateful eyes.

Then Zheng Long tore off the disguised face.

"If you think you are not good enough, ask the coach to apply for you to be replaced."

"I can do it! I can do it for sure!"

Russell said it several times in a hurry.

The game keeps coming back.

Russell, who came to the top of the arc, obediently sent the basketball to Zheng Long.

Such a moment.

Only Zheng Long can break the deadlock.

After Zheng Long holds the ball.

The Clippers quickly completed the defense change.

Paul will guard Zheng Long, and JJ Redick will defend Russell.

Even Wharton on the sidelines didn't think of it.

Rivers' defensive strategy for Zheng Long was so clear.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Zheng Long's speed.

Go break Redick's point.

After all, although Redick is a marksman, defense has always been his loophole.

As a 3D, Redick only has 3 and no D.

Defensive lateral movement slows to a snail's pace.

If Zheng Long faced Redick, I'm afraid he would be able to break his leg for Resk today.

The last game was against the Rockets.

Even Beverly couldn't limit Zheng Long's performance.

but.

Paul is a completely different defender than Beverley.

If Beverley's defense is ferocious.

Paul, on the other hand, is famous for his "little tricks".

Zheng Long faced Paul and used his physical advantage to make a layup.

Paul didn't expect that Zheng Long would go straight against himself and dig into it.

Like a small bulldozer.

People can't stop it.

I can only try to block the ball.

However, Zheng Long's wingspan is too terrifying.

In addition, he was firmly stuck by Zheng Long's ball protector.

Can only stare.

Seeing Zheng Long push himself to the basket abruptly.

then.

Zheng Long chose to jump for a layup.

up in the air.

Suddenly, I felt a mysterious force coming from behind.

before losing balance.

He sent the basketball to his teammate Randall on the baseline.

Randall really made a three-pointer!
Swish!
Still in!
Zheng Long had no time to celebrate that his good layup turned into a good pass.

Turning around, I realized that Paul had just torn his jersey.

Damn!

"Mommy! Can you clean your hands and feet? Thief!"

Zheng Long's roar.

It made everyone look at Paul.

Paul spread his hands and stared innocently.

Don't say it.

It looks really harmless to humans and animals.

The Lakers players all looked at Zheng Long.

Ask him what's wrong.

Zheng Long didn't bother to explain, and ran back to the backcourt to defend.

The game continues.

The Lakers with previous experience.

Defensively began to shrink the line of defense firmly.

Originally, the Clippers focused on attacking the inside.

There is only one Redick outside who can shoot 3 points.

Paul is mainly in the middle distance, while Jordan and Griffin hit the basket.

As for small forward Mbah a Moute, he is just a defensive tool man.

of course.

Redick's off-ball three-pointer was originally one of the Clippers' main offensive tactics.

But today.

This tactic is completely unplayable.

Zheng Long is like the cat, and Redick is like the mouse.

The two played a game of cat and mouse.

But actually.

Cats react faster than mice.

The two are not of the same level at all.

Cats like to let the mice run first.

Just for fun.

When the cat doesn't want to give the mouse any chance.

There is only one dead end for mice!
Even if Jordan Jr. ran out to pick and roll Redick.

Zheng Long can always get stuck in front of Redick before he catches the ball and wants to shoot.

"Isn't it okay to stand obediently outside the three-point line and smoke?"

"What are you running around for?"

Again.

Zheng Long stood in front of Redick.

Resk gasped heavily.

A look of despair.

"Damn it, can you let me throw a ball?!"

Zheng Long stepped back half a step graciously.

"You vote!"

Resk: Do I dare to vote? ! ! !
It's been 4 minutes since the start.

Redick was defended by Zheng Long's death entanglement.

0 shots.

Want to make a move, but dare not make a move!
Whenever I see Zheng Long's long arms that are different from ordinary people, they are above the knees.

Redick has a kind of as long as he shoots himself.

There will be a sense of crisis of being blocked by Zheng Long.

Can't vote.

Don't hold back!

There is no 100% certainty.

Absolutely not shot!

Zheng Long certainly didn't know that he had put so much pressure on Redick.

He just knows.

other Clippers players.

He has put enough pressure on his teammates.

Although Redick was strangled to death by Zheng Long's unsolvable single defense.

The Clippers cut inside after the pick-and-roll.

But the Lakers players were confused.

When Paul holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Jordan Jr. guards the basket.

Griffin ran out to pick and roll Paul.

Randle and Russell were forced to switch defenses.

Whether it's Griffin's ball hitting the inside.

It's still Paul's singles Randall, forming a small hit big.

All can give the Clippers a chance to score.

"Paul against Randle's defense!"

"Mid-range shots off the dribble!"

"Paul is really stable when he is small and big!"

"Here's the ball!"

"The Clippers have taken an 8-point lead!"

Beep----

Another timeout for the Lakers.

The remaining time of the first quarter is 3 minutes and 35 seconds.

Clippers 23:15 Lakers!

The main players were replaced by Wharton to rest.

On Rivers' side, rotation players were also replaced.

Obviously.

In the confrontation of tactics and strategies in the first quarter.

Rivers beat Walton.

Rivers looked like he was planning a strategy.

Confidently put your hands on your chest.

Defense is the lower limit of a team.

The problems of this Lakers team were actually exposed last season.

The defense is fragmented.

He was strangled to death by a "top-of-the-arc pick-and-roll".

Zheng Long sat in his seat and meditated.

People can't see the thoughts in their hearts.

Zheng Long in the first quarter had a general desire to shoot.

He made 6 of 4 shots and scored 8 points.

It seems a bit of a drop in the bucket.

If Wharton can't find a suitable countermeasure.

Zheng Long believed it.

Even if he scored 50 points in this game.

It may not be able to lead the Lakers to victory.

The first quarter is over.

Great play from the duo of Clarkson and Nick Young.

Chased a 4-point difference for the Lakers.

The second quarter will begin immediately.

Walton continued to keep Nance Jr. and Ingram on the court.

A lineup composed entirely of young players was sent.

Russell, Zheng Long, Ingram, Randall, Nance Jr.

"Come on, boys."

This trick basically got Wharton to hand over his underpants.

Although only the beginning of the second quarter.

But Wharton knew.

If you can't solve the big defensive problem in the second quarter.

Then it is estimated that today's game can be declared over in advance.

The Lakers fans in the stands couldn't understand this lineup at all.

Wharton even gave up the experienced Luol Deng and Mozgov.

This lineup does not even have a qualified center over 2 meters.

How to deal with Jordan and Griffin's bombardment of the Lakers inside?

"Just raise the flag and admit defeat!"

"Wharton is not even as good as Byron Steck!"

"I'm already anticipating Griffin's dunk bombing!"

"Learn to be a warrior and play the fifth elementary school? Do you have that full-level number in Wharton?"

The Lakers fans in the stands expressed their dissatisfaction.

Walton is still concentrating on making tactical arrangements for the players.

When Rivers saw the five small lineups sent by Walton.

He showed a thoughtful expression.

In the eyes of fans, Walton is just a new head coach.

But Rivers knows it.

Walton graduated from the Warriors successfully.

He was also the chief assistant coach of the Warriors.

It can be said.

All the tactics of the Warriors.

All the thoughts of Warriors coach Kerr.

Wharton knows everything by heart.

He just has little coaching experience, but it doesn't mean that his coaching level is low.

soon.

The Lakers' new defensive performance.

It confirmed Rivers' conjecture.

Another arc-top single by Paul.

Griffin's pick and roll!

After receiving Paul's pass, choose to go down!

In the paint area, I want to be stronger!

When facing Mozgov, Griffin has succeeded many times!

But this time, he was facing Nance Jr.!

Although Nance Jr. does not have the height of Mozgov.

but.

Nance Jr. has the jumping ability that Mozgov doesn't have!
Nance Jr. jumps hard to Griffin!

After being a famous family.

Nance Jr.'s physical fitness is extremely explosive.

Although technically extremely rough.

but.

Facing a physical monster like Griffin.

Technology has reduced its role in front of him.

When Griffin thought he would successfully dunk successfully.

The great force from Nance Jr.'s arm.

Shock him!

Damn, how long has it been!

I have never felt a player who can be tough with himself in the NBA.

this ball.

Griffin failed to dunk.

He lost his balance in the air with the ball.

fell to the ground.

After the basketball bounced on the floor, it went out of bounds!

"Oh my god!"

"The tiger father has no dogs, and Nance Jr. blocked Griffin!"

"A CRAZY BLOCK!!!"

Nance Jr.'s block this time finally gave the Lakers' home fans a chance to cheer!

The Lakers players on the bench were also frantically waving towels.

[Who is this!It's so terrifying that it overwhelms Griffin! 】

【do not you know?Son of Larry Nance! 】

[Who is Larry Nance? 】

[At first glance, it looks like a first-year honey, a famous Cavaliers player, the champion of the first slam dunk contest! 】

On the field.

Griffin, who was blocked by Nance Jr., was ashamed.

He was actually blocked.

And fell into a dog eating shit!

The Lakers are attacking here.

With Nance Jr.'s block.

The morale of the Lakers has soared!
original.

Griffin is not unstoppable either!

And this lineup has another feature.

young.

So it's extremely fast in terms of speed and rhythm.

Basketball is finally turning among the Lakers.

Russell quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Ingram ran up to pick and roll Zheng Long.

After receiving the ball, Zheng Long faced Paul and made a breakthrough!
Dash in!

Suddenly had to stop and jump shot!

2 points scored!
With Paul's missed shot.

After grabbing the rebound, Ingram quickly launched a counterattack.

The basketball came to Zheng Long's hands.

It was quickly passed to Russell's hands.

Russell's chasing three-pointer!

Swish!
scored!

Another quick counterattack from the Lakers!
Russell throws the basketball to the backboard!

Nance Jr. made an empty dunk!
This buckle!
Completely kicked up the home court! ! !

"Second quarter Lakers look fresh!"

"After changing to a new five small lineup."

"Whether it's offense or defense, they are full of energy!"

"With this dunk from Nance Jr.!"

"The two teams are tied 37-37! Back to the same starting line again!"

On the field.

The end of the second quarter.

1 minutes left.

Neither coach called a timeout.

Obviously.

It's all more like a fight for the lead at the end of half-time.

The Clippers' offensive round.

Griffin glanced at the Kardashians sitting in the front row.

Jenna looked uninterested.

Full of desire for performance.

Just now the Lakers clearly stole his limelight.

It made him feel ashamed in front of Jenna.

"Chris, I'm going to hit one with the ball!"

Paul passes the ball to Griffin.

Griffin dribbles to the top of the arc.

Randall came out on guard.

Can't figure out what the hell Griffin is up to.

after all.

In this game, Griffin has not appeared in singles with the ball.

then.

Griffin started dribbling.

As a power forward.

Warcraft inside.

Griffin's level of ball control is definitely an excellent existence in the same position!
To know.

Griffin was a student.

Because there is no qualified point guard in the team.

He simply played the point guard position himself.

In the face of ordinary point guards in the NBA, he may not have the extraordinary ability.

However, facing Randall
Just when Randall didn't know what plane Griffin was up to.

He was successfully deceived by Griffin to the center of gravity.

Griffin quickly dribbled the ball past Randall and went inside!

Paint area!
Take off straight away!

This ball!
Nance Jr. has been pulled to the middle distance of the baseline by Jordan Jr.

It's too late to make up defense!
For this ball, Griffin is bound to win!
Air!

Griffin swung the ball with one arm!
Get ready to smash the basketball into the hoop!

A figure suddenly burst out!
Zheng Long!

It was Zheng Long who came to defend Griffin!
Moreover, facing Griffin, Zheng Long also jumped up!

crazy!

Zheng Long was thinking of intercepting Griffin in the air?
He's a shooting guard!
Why!

In the air, I saw Zheng Long who came to "send his death".

Griffin is full of joy!
This is an improper way to separate the materials!
Griffin slammed the basketball toward the basket!
I saw Zheng Long!

Put your palms together!
Push toward the basketball!

A huge force came from his hand.

Griffin lost his balance in the air again.

Fell to the ground.

The one who fell with him was also Zheng Long.

all of these.

Happened too fast.

The audience didn't react at all.

The scene in front of me was so shocking.

It's fine if Nance Jr. overtakes Griffin.

Zheng Long.

Even covered Griffin?

Zheng Long fell to the ground at this moment.

Looking at Griffin who was shocked.

said softly.

"Excuse me."

"Tonight."

"Over Los Angeles, no flying!"
