Chapter 1275
sidelines.

Bratt Stevens looked at the field, couldn't help frowning slightly, and rubbed his chin lightly.

The two teams have played for almost 6 minutes, but both sides not only can't help each other, but also have not performed very well on the defensive end.

Especially the Celtics.

They are not a team that advocates offense. Not only is the defense very good, but even once they are particularly focused, they can make people feel suffocated.

But the strange thing is that they didn't play defense, but blindly fought with the Clippers on offense.

Simply their shooting rate is good, otherwise Stevens will pause immediately after the official suspension.

This is not right.

This is not the performance and rhythm that the Celtics should have.

Could it be that the All-Stars are coming, and these guys will completely let themselves go?

Stevens wondered to himself.

He didn't know that Qin Tao and the others would have this situation, which could be said to be influenced by the Clippers.

They also want to play defense and play a rhythm they are familiar with.

But because their own hit rate is also good, under a kind of inertia, they don't care much about it.

The more you don't care, the natural rhythm will be brought up by others.

Although the Clippers did not play as fast as the Warriors, their transition was very fast, and the rhythm naturally picked up.

By the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 30:31 because both sides had good shooting percentages, and the Clippers led by one point.

Then there is the second quarter of the game.

Stevens was a little more conservative this time, and did not completely replace the bench lineup, but let Durant lead them, Jack Crowder went to shooting guard, and Jason Terry went to point guard.

The Clippers' substitutions were a little bolder.

In addition to putting Jr. Jordan on the field, they actually replaced a pitcher in other positions!
This lineup is simply too sharp!

Lance Stephenson, Jamal Crawford, together with Wesley Johnson and Pablo Prigioni, Finson may be able to attack and defend on the outside, and the others are all prepared for speed and offense.

and so.

When the substitutes on both sides came on the court, the Clippers immediately released a strong aggressiveness!
They are like a group of jumping antelopes. They don't play any positional warfare with you at all, they just give you a blind attack and outside shooting.

Even veteran Prigioni, a traditional point guard, tried a few shots from the perimeter.

natural.

They rushed very fast, and the Celtics must have had a lot of defensive pressure.

But what is surprising is that this lineup of veterans and rookies, who were in a hurry from the beginning, suddenly stabilized their position and forced the Clippers to play with them.

have to say.

This is because the Clippers' shooting percentage is not high, making them less and less afraid to shoot.

After changing positions, the Clippers lineup is a bit uncomfortable.

Their size and defensive problems are prominent, and they will not be able to play well.

But the most important point is that due to physical problems, Jordan's role on the court has been infinitely suppressed!
Jokic is still very powerful.

Even though his strength is not as good, he is young and aggressive, and his attitude is also very good.

Nothing.

Doc Rivers had to call a timeout.

After the players returned to the field, he still couldn't help but feel the depth of the Celtics lineup.

Sometimes he wondered, if he hadn't left, would he still be able to coach such a team?
But in a blink of an eye, he laughed at himself.

Had he been around, this probably wouldn't have been the case.

At least he himself is very clear that his stubbornness may not allow so many young people to fight.

As for Stevens, he thought about it and let Durant go.

As far as the game just now is concerned, Durant didn't play a big role, but instead wasted energy on the court, it's better to save it and play later.

in this way.

They entered the familiar operation again, replaced all the substitutes, and waited for the Clippers' lineup arrangement.

Pause ends.

The two sides returned to the field.

When Stevens saw the opponent's lineup, he immediately felt a little overwhelmed.

Because Doc Rivers is very cautious, except for not replacing Jordan, the other starters are on the court.

This will test the ability of these substitutes.

They don't need to compete with the Clippers, as long as they don't widen the gap, the task is considered complete.

Stevens' requirements are not high, but this group of players is high-spirited.

If it is in another team, it is impossible for any coaching staff to give them such an opportunity!

After all, every team has its arrangements and its tactical system.

If the substitutes can play well, then why start?

so.

Each of them cherishes such an opportunity very much!
Especially the young people of the team, as long as they play well, it may not be realistic this season, but they will definitely be reused by the team next season!

After all, no one likes to be a Wannian substitute, and everyone dreams of becoming the starter.

So as soon as the game started, they rushed forward as if desperately.

Even if they are facing Paul, the former team spirit Pierce, the off-ball super shooter JJ Redick, or even the super sixth man Jamal Crawford, they have no fear at all. exuberant!

in this way.

When the second quarter ended with 40 seconds left, although Jokic and the others did not hit the peak, they also perfectly completed Stevens' task, only allowing the Clippers to widen the point difference by three points and lagging behind They are only six points!

Halftime is over.

The on-site commentator and fans gave this group of players great affirmation.

Even if they are placed in the entire league, they are the one with the highest level of substitutes!
Back in the locker room, Qin Tao and Durant immediately gave them applause.

honestly.

It is their honor to have such strong support from teammates!

Still the old saying.

Basketball is never for one person, only by working together can we win in the end!
And they have completed the task well, then the second half will depend on Qin Tao and Durant.

As the core of the team, wouldn't it be a shame if you don't have the strength of your teammates?

at the same time.

The Clippers, which led by six points, are not happy right now.

Because they played a lot more time than the Celtics' starters, not only did they not achieve the desired results, but they were held back by a group of substitutes for a long time.

Now it seems.

Whether it was Paul or Pierce, they were already out of breath, sweat dripping from their bodies.

headache.

And looking at Paul's emotions, it seems that some problems have appeared.

Also.

It seems that they have won by six points, but the physical and mental exhaustion is the root and foundation of winning.

Now.

After Qin Tao and Durant rested for a long time, none of them would believe that the two of them would not explode in the second half!

Once they erupt, it may be a volcanic eruption!
What's the situation with Qin Tao?
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one power forward in active service!
What about Durant?

Although he doesn't have as many honors as James, but when it comes to this position, or even the influence and status of the core of the team, no one dares to say third when he says second!
As for Leonard, I'm sorry, in the confrontation between the two, Durant can be said to be completely suppressed!
