against the front

Chapter 161 Double Kill
"It's time for Mike Dunleavy to call a timeout. If the game continues like this, I'm afraid the game will be decided in the first half."

When Marcus Camby's third shot after the opening was still blocked by Yan Hua, even Kenny Smith on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore. When he was a player, there were times when he kept feeding a certain player and let him single-handedly play against the opposing player. But like the one in front of him, he was blocked three times by the opponent after being fed three times in a row. Kenny Smith still I have never seen it.

When Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman challenged Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka before the game, Kenny Smith, as a TV commentator, was very happy to see what happened. Because the more aggressive the two of them are, the more interesting this game will be. Even many neutral fans who didn't care about this game will rise up to watch this game after this spat. Let's see who can have the last laugh.

Since the Clippers are located in Los Angeles, and the Kings just defeated the Lakers, another team in Los Angeles yesterday, even though the Clippers had a very poor record last season, the No. [-] pick just selected was reimbursed for the season, but TNT TV Net still adjusted today's game to be broadcast live across the United States, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to broadcast the game live.

Therefore, TNT very much hopes that today's game will be as exciting as yesterday's game between the Kings and the Lakers. However, the current situation indicates that the Clippers are likely to stage a rout. It doesn't matter to TNT TV network, Los Angeles was double-killed by the king, it doesn't matter to TNT, but a game without any suspense must have no ratings, and a game without ratings is definitely the worst for TNT. would like to see things.

"Mr. Defensive Player of the Year, is this how you teach me to block shots?"

While Kenny Smith on the sidelines was still shouting, Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy took advantage of the dead ball and called a long timeout, ready to rearrange the tactics on the field.

A long timeout was called less than 2 minutes into the game, which undoubtedly means that the Clippers' tactical arrangements before the game have all been invalidated. This is a big deal for any team and any coach. A huge blow.

And as an old coach who has won the best head coach, Mike Dunleavy can indeed feel that he has made some mistakes today, whether it is the King's uncharacteristic speed-up, Yan Hua's terror dominance on the defensive end, or The king's quick counterattack after Yan Hua completed the block, all of which were things that Mike Dunleavy did not expect before the start of the game.

"Yan, thank you for your hard work." After the Kings players walked off the field, the head coach Reggie Toyes patted Yan Hua on the shoulder excitedly. 6-0, the Kings started perfectly. Under Yan Hua's almost terrifying defensive dominance just now, once this advantage is established, it will be difficult to reverse it. From the expression of Marcus Camby, who was extremely arrogant before the game, can be seen It can be seen that Yan Hua's consecutive blocks in the past few rounds have already left him with a deep psychological shadow. If Yan Hua can send one or two more shots in the few minutes after the timeout ends Blocking shots, probably for the entire game, the Clippers players on the court did not dare to get close to the basket guarded by Yan Hua easily.

Exactly as Reggie Toyes expected, when the timeout passed, Clippers point guard Baron Davis rushed into the King's basket with the ball desperately, and was slapped by Yan Hua After being on the floor, throughout the first quarter, no one on the Clippers dared to trouble Yan Hua inside. As for Chris Kaman, who was talking nonsense with Marcus Camby before the start of the game, he was watching After the tragic ending of Marcus Camby and Baron Davis, the whole quarter was floating on the outside.

The five main players of the Clippers, except for Eric Gordon's three-pointers, the other four either do not shoot three-pointers at all, or they have a shooting percentage of around 30, while the Clippers' bench There are no shooters with outstanding three-point ability in the world, so when they get farther and farther away from the basket and the whole team floats outside to shoot, their shooting percentage becomes worse and worse. By the end of the first quarter, 36 18. The Clippers, who are playing at home, are already 18 points behind the Kings.

In the first quarter of the game, they didn’t play any tactics and coordination at all. Basically, the Clippers players who were pressed to the ground by the king were all in a daze when they left the court, because before the start of the game , They never thought that they would be beaten like this by the king at home. They lost 18 points in a single game. How will they play this game next?
The main lineup played very aggrieved, and the substitutes, who were obviously infected by the main lineup, failed to counterattack after their appearance at the beginning of the second quarter. They took the opportunity to narrow the score advantage, but were defeated by Zhu Holiday and Ander The bench lineup led by Les Nocioni was beaten violently. When the game was all over in the first half, it was 61 to 39. After halftime the game basically collapsed.

"It seems that the Clippers will lose this game!"

At the end of the halftime game, Kenny Smith on the commentary table directly sentenced the Clippers to death with a look of disappointment. They were 22 points behind and their morale was low. The chances of the Clippers catching up were zero. After the festival, the Clippers organized a wave of counterattacks, but the effect was not very good, because they could neither score in the interior and cause damage to the King's interior combination, nor could they stop Yan Hua from raging at the basket. Under such circumstances, no matter how violent the Clippers' counterattack is, it will be futile.

88 to 103, when the game ended, the Staples Center once again erupted with violent boos. The Clippers players who boasted before the game that they would defend the glory of Staples, but let the King complete a double play at Staples.

As for Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman, who scored 22 points and 14 rebounds in this game, they looked at Yan Hua standing on the sidelines with a dull expression after the game. The little rookie who claimed to have a good lesson before the game.

With 34 points, 21 rebounds, and 6 blocked shots, Yan Hua alone surpassed Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby. Meal, Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman, they will never believe that the rookie who was played by the two of them last season has become so powerful this season , As for the rhetoric that the two of them put down before the game, they inevitably became the laughing stock of everyone after dinner.
