The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 161 Sullen Ballmer (please subscribe, ask monthly pass)

In the second half of the second quarter, Durant's touch was still cold. As a player in the 07 draft, El Thornton was not timid in the face of Durant. On the contrary, El Thorton frequently went inside and caused damage.

Compared with Durant, who relies on touch, Elthorton is more reliable at this time.

Sometimes, the hand feels bad, and you can't make a shot no matter what. Durant tried shooting from various angles, but still missed the basket.

Seeing this scene, Ballmer was completely heartbroken. In addition, the "old cat" Mobley was terrible. At the end of the halftime, the Clippers rewritten the score to 57 to 52.

The all-starting Clippers played this game like a playoff, with the offensive pass and pick-and-roll cooperation, and the defensive end used the wheel to consume Durant's physical strength. He didn't feel good and was targeted by the opponent. Durant shook his head, a little depressed.

Today's performance is very difficult for Lin Yue to join the team.

During halftime, Ballmer rushed to the Clippers' locker room. Seeing the boss's sullen look, Dunleavy was a little scared. He observed the boss's expression in the middle of the second quarter.

I thought that the overtake in the second half of the second quarter would make the boss a little happier, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Boss, why are you here?" Dunleavy went up to greet the boss. His performance this season was not satisfactory, and he was afraid that the boss would fire him in a fit of anger.

"What do you think, they all started again in the second quarter, aren't they tired?" Ballmer said, pointing to the sweating players.

Baron Davis and others didn't dare to move, what happened to the boss?Not satisfied with their performance?
"But the score is behind. At this time, it will be difficult to play until the second half. The opponent just replaced that kid (Curry). This is a good time to chase points." Dunleavy said, he didn't know where he was wrong?

"If I can keep winning, I have nothing to say. Do you think you can do it now?" Ballmer said angrily. He was worried about his team. Why is it so difficult to make it to the playoffs?

"I, I will try my best." When the boss said this, Dunleavy couldn't refute it. The record is here.

"I don't need to say more about how to play in the second half." Ballmer left after hinting. Some words can't be said too clearly, and he can't say in front of the players, "I don't want you to win. The more you lose this season, the better."

Ballmer returned to his seat with satisfaction, and he began to look forward to the Clippers' "performance" in the second half.

Stephen Curry's performance in the first half made him even more happy. He is also looking forward to finding a good rookie in next year's draft. Now the team is short of a core player.

"Have you heard what the boss said, the five-point advantage is not enough, show your best form in the second half, and play this as a playoff game. You are all old players, and there are so many rookies on the opposite side. Teach them what is the NBA?" Dunleavy said, he was playing for the players, in this way to motivate.

However, this kind of words did not impress Baron Davis and others. They had long felt that there was a problem with the coach's tactics, the timing of the timeout, the decision to substitute, etc. were not very good, and many opportunities were missed.

A good coach can drive a group of good players. The Clippers' lineup is definitely not in this situation. In addition to the player's status, the coach should be blamed.

Lin Yue sat down and watched the cheerleaders of the Thunder. It must be said that professional teams are much stronger than university teams in all aspects.

"The second half is finally here."

Seeing the players of the two teams coming out of the player tunnel, Lin Yue picked up the popcorn beside him.

This Oklahoma City Thunder popcorn has a special flavor and is right for your stomach.

After a while, players from both sides returned to the field.

The Thunder Curry and Durant appeared at the same time.

For the Clippers, no, this person is somewhat familiar.

Lin Yue took a closer look and found that the Clippers still use these five players. No, they haven't changed players in the second half of the second quarter. This lineup is still the same in the third quarter. The other players are injured?

It seems that looking at the bench, the several substitutes sitting off the court supported their heads one after another, doing nothing, and there was no sense of tension in the game at all.

Lin Yue:? ? ?
Ballmer: ? ? ?

Curry and Durant: ? ? ?
"Why are they still there?" Although Curry was puzzled, this was a matter for the opposing team, so he didn't need to think about it.

Baron Davis, Mobley and others looked reluctant. This is just a regular season, and they still have the upper hand. It's really impossible.

But since the boss and the coach have said so, in order to clock in and get off work as soon as possible, the Clippers, who have seen the big world, launched a fierce attack and frequently hit the inside line as soon as they came up.

Baron Davis played very skillfully, suddenly scoring to the inside players, and the small space completely matched this kind of cooperation. This is the strength of an all-star point guard.

Kaman at the basket faced Swift, who was shorter than him, and put in the ball after a feint to play the time difference.

In defense, the overall integrity of the Clippers suddenly rose to a new level. First, they pressed the whole court and put pressure on Curry.

This kind of defense is generally used when you are behind, because it consumes a lot of defenders.

It belongs to the defensive method of injuring one thousand enemies and injuring oneself by eight hundred.

Curry lobbed the ball to Durant at halftime.

As a result, the two came to double-team and did not give him room to dribble.

"What's the matter? The Clippers are oppressive." Lin Yue wondered.

Durant had no choice but to throw the ball to Jeff Green again, and then the player who had just double-teamed immediately returned to defense. The enthusiasm of the first defense and the second made people suspect that the Clippers were behind.

Green gave Curry a false shot, and Curry found the rhythm of his shots after changing direction continuously outside the three-point line, but Baron Davis is not a vegetarian, and immediately followed the defense after judging the opponent's intention to make a shot.

This ball is not a good choice, and it goes out against the defensive three-pointer.

Kaman successfully got the defensive rebound and made a long pass to Baron Davis.

After the latter completed the defense, he caught the ball and turned around to pass Curry who was trying to cut the ball, and made a fast break layup.

This offense and defense told Curry that although you are talented, I am stronger than you now.

The young Oklahoma City Thunder have never seen such a battle. Unless it is a very important game, no team will treat the regular season as a playoff.

Within 5 minutes, the point difference between the two teams was stretched to double digits. If Durant hadn't forced a breakthrough to cause damage, the point difference would only have been even greater.

PJ Carlesimo first called a timeout, and the sudden defensive intensity made the Thunder a little at a loss. Durant has good physical talent and was not affected too much, but the first-year Curry couldn't bear it, and made consecutive mistakes to give the opponent a chance.

Dunleavy looked happily at the boss Ballmer's position. The boss should be happy now. This game has a high probability of leading the opponent by as much as [-] points.

No, the boss is not in the position, where is the person?
