Legend Raiders

Chapter 777
Lost.

The mood of every Pacers player was extremely low, so much so that when David West left the arena, he threw the towel in his hand on the ground and stepped on it hard.

have to say.

The Celtics made their game experience very poor, and it made their mentality suffer huge blows.

They thought they would lose away, but they never thought it would end this way.

Honestly.

They really did a lot of preparation before the game. Even in order to beat the Celtics, after they arrived in Boston, they followed the coaching team and kept simulating all possible situations.

however.

The fact that the game was completely suppressed was something they never expected.

Even if the final score doesn't look too exaggerated, only the game can explain the problem.

As the winner of this game, the Celtics naturally received extremely warm cheers.

So much so that when they finished the post-match meeting and drove out of the parking lot one after another, the fans at the gate were reluctant to leave for a long time.

And when the Celtics won this crucial battle at their home court, today's second game also began.

The situation of the Thunder and the Clippers is very similar to that of the Celtics and the Pacers. As long as the Clippers can withstand and win in the end, this will be a very valuable victory for the entire series!

But at the beginning of the game, the Clippers' performance was not ideal.

Especially Chris Paul, who should have been a very stable core, he didn't feel well prepared from the beginning of the game.

And because of Paul's performance problems, there will naturally be problems with the entire team's tactics.

period.

In the first quarter of the game, Griffin kept trying to help the team, and the final result was okay.

But because it was difficult to support alone, other players relied heavily on Paul's passing and organization. Under the double impact of Durant and Westbrook, the Clippers lost this quarter with a score of 18:29.

After entering the second quarter, the Clippers' performance has picked up, but that's all.

However, as the game entered the second half of the second quarter, the Clippers' substitutes gradually exerted their strength.

Under the impact of the double junior leadership, they played very actively and passionately.

Under the attack group headed by Jamal Crawford, Durant and Westbrook failed to withstand it.

and so.

In the second quarter, when there was nothing wrong with the main force, the Clippers played a very amazing game with a group of substitutes.

After the last two teams played in the first half, the Thunder still led the Clippers by six points 55:49, but the performance of the Clippers' substitute just now shocked them into a cold sweat.

In the locker room, Doug Rivers continued his roaring teaching.

The hot-tempered coach even criticized Chris Paul mercilessly.

If Paul's condition is better and the offense is not good enough to focus on organization, I'm afraid it won't be so bad in the end.

As the core of the team, even a veteran who has played for many years, Paul was very positive about his criticism, and immediately expressed his apology to everyone.

Rivers was actually relieved to get Paul's response.

If Paul is very concerned about his identity and doesn't give him this face, maybe he won't have to play in the second half of the game.

At this time, with the seriousness of the core of the team, the next arrangement will be very smooth.

The Thunder, which won the second half, naturally would not choose to relax.

Because they can win an away game, which is really useful for them.

So when Scott Brooks arranged it carefully, all of them looked very focused.

By the end of the break, the Thunder players basically looked confident.

However, with the start of the third quarter, the situation on the court did not allow them to maintain their mentality for long.

Chris Paul finally broke out as a super guard.

His offense was very problematic, but what made him famous was solid and sharp organization and passing.

Thus.

The Clippers first activated the inside twin towers by him.

Griffin and Jordan played a very explosive side frequently, and their powerful and exciting dunks were staged one after another.

Such and such.

It is impossible for the Clippers not to win the third quarter.

When they finally won this quarter with a score of 30:22, not only could they breathe a long sigh of relief, but the home fans in the stands released all their depression before!

pity.

When the fourth quarter started, the Clippers' dream seemed to be gradually clouded.

Their routine can be said to be seen through by the Thunder. After the latter defended Griffin and Jordan with all their strength, even if Paul's organization was fine, the feeling of having his arms cut off was very uncomfortable.

In addition, the performance of other players is really limited, which makes their offense and defense a lot of problems.

Helpless!

Seeing that the little lead was quickly recovered by the Thunder, Paul decisively chose to regain the banner of offense in order to reverse the situation.

But he put most of his energy on the organization, but his hand feeling didn't recover much.

Until there were 3 minutes left in the game, the Thunder had already widened the point difference to eight points by virtue of their system and the performance of both juniors!

Eight-point goals may not seem like much, but with time limited and the Thunder's defense strengthening, it is really difficult to get it back.

and so.

When they tried their best to do this, they still couldn't reverse the result in the end.

118: 112!

With the two teams swinging around eight points, the Clippers still lost to the Thunder by six points in the final stage!
after the game.

Facing many media, Chris Paul took the responsibility of the game immediately.

His responsibility eased the atmosphere of the scene a lot. After that, with Doug Rivers' very high-level speech, the scene no longer felt sharp.

After playing both games today, the results between the two are completely different.

The Celtics once again let people see their strength, but the Clippers failed to stabilize their home court.

As for the mood of the Pacers who lost and the Thunder who won, it can be seen just by looking at their expressions and states after the game.

With the end of these two games, two games will continue to start the next day.

In those two games, the Heat and the Spurs basically occupied the experts and public opinion with a greater chance of winning.

All of them believed that as long as they were stable, even if the game was a bit "gritty", they would still be able to win.

Still, there are some voices of reason.

After all, this is a game played by people, not a collision between machines.
