Chapter 167

The Clippers ended the first quarter with a 4-point lead over the Thunder.

The match between Ning Caichen and Westbrook was what fans talked about the most in the first quarter.The duel between the two can be described as an alternative, Westbrook kept shooting his assists, while Ning Caichen kept shooting his three-pointers.

In the end, the statistics of the two sides were almost the same. Westbrook sent 11 assists and 2 points in a single quarter, while Ning Caichen made 11 of 5 three-pointers and scored 15 points.

"Hahaha!! Today's game is really exciting, the duel between two superstars is so enjoyable!!"

"I'm very much looking forward to the next match. If Westbrook and Ning Caichen can continue to fight each other like this, tonight's duel will definitely be an epic match!!"

"looking forward to!!"

The timeout passed quickly, and the Thunder had the ball.

"Westbrook, how are you? Is my shooting good?" Ning Caichen said while sitting on a chair and watching Westbrook walking past him.

After hearing this, Westbrook thought about it for a while, then spread his hands and said: "It's so-so! But, believe me, I will teach how to shoot later."

Ning Caichen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said with anticipation: "Really? I am looking forward to your counterattack."

Westbrook: "..."

Westbrook walked into the court to serve and ignored Ning Caichen.I've never seen such a combative person as Ning Caichen, insisting on stirring up trouble.

The Thunder's possession of the ball is still under Westbrook's absolute control.

The Clippers sent a second team, and the main players did not play except Jordan.

The Thunder didn't have the luxury to replace all the main players to rest like the Clippers. There are still three main players on the court.

The Clippers have four giants, and their Thunder only has Westbrook.The head coach of the Thunder knows Westbrook's energy, so he continues to let him lead the team on the court.

Sure enough, Westbrook started his personal offense.

The Clippers' second lineup's defensive ability is not 01:30 points behind the main lineup, and it was attacked by Westbrook alone.

Fortunately, although the defense of the second team is not good, the offense is maintained well.With the cooperation of Crawford and Redick, it is really rare that they were not defeated by Westbrook's strong fight.

Westbrook's offense looked fierce, but he didn't exert his full strength. The Clippers' second team's defensive ability was too poor, and they were easily rushed into the penalty area.Westbrook scored too easily.

After 4 minutes, Westbrook was finally replaced by the head coach.

In the second quarter of the game, after 6 minutes, the main players of the Clippers finally played.

Westbrook also gave up resting, it was too much trouble, he might as well have been on the court to maintain his form just now.

But there is no way. If he doesn't play, it only takes 3 minutes. With the ability of the Clippers, 3 minutes can determine the outcome of the entire game.

Seeing Westbrook playing, Ning Caichen became excited.He stepped forward and smiled, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!!"

Wei Shao glanced at Ning Caichen speechlessly and said, "I already have a wife..."

"I don't mind, I only care about your ability." Ning Caichen teased.

"..."

The commentator on the sidelines immediately became excited after seeing the actions of the two, and howled to Mai Da: "Next, there will be a wonderful matchup between Westbrook of the Thunder and Ning of the Clippers. Please wait and see."

"I can't wait to see the two face off again, I'm so excited!!" Another commentator said excitedly.

Westbrook dribbled the ball quickly from the side, trying to pass Ning Caichen from the side.

How could Ning Caichen let him pass so easily? His lateral movement was not blocked, and with a single movement of his feet, he caught up with Wei Shao's footsteps.

Westbrook had no choice but to pull the ball back.

Just when Ning Caichen was proud, Westbrook pulled the ball back and suddenly stopped suddenly.

"Not good!" Ning Caichen didn't expect Wei Shao to be so sudden, he was already a step behind.

"when!!"

Fortunately, the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Ning Caichen secretly rejoiced that he was too careless just now.

Although Westbrook missed a shot, he was rebounded by the Thunder insider, and the ball still belonged to the Thunder.

The Thunder players also have a tacit understanding, and basketball once again came to Westbrook.

Ning Caichen put his energy on Westbrook again, and he will not let Westbrook succeed this time.

Wei Shao repeated his old trick and wanted to do it, but found that Ning Caichen had been prepared and could only dribble the ball.

To Westbrook's surprise, Ning Caichen seemed to be able to know his next move, which made him very passive.

"Hmph! It's not as good as you want, even if it's aggressive!" Ning Caichen is very familiar with the various offensive lines that Westbrook is used to.

Wei Shaojian couldn't get rid of Ning Caichen well, and retreated to the outside line.Looking at the Clippers' defensive players on the inside, even if he passed Ning Caichen's line of defense, Griffin and Jordan were still staring at him.

This ball is really hard to play. The state of the Clippers is completely different from the previous game. This is the state they really should have.

After Westbrook made eye contact with his teammates, with the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, he quickly staggered Ning Caichen and did not continue to advance, but chose an emergency stop jumper.

Two points scored.

Westbrook's open 2 points are also very accurate.

Although Ning Caichen can limit Westbrook very well in a solo fight, it is absolutely impossible to prevent Westbrook with the help of defense players.Unless his ability value reaches level 99, his speed is much faster than that of Westbrook.

Ning Caichen couldn't bear to fight Westbrook one-on-one, and he was about to get the ball as soon as Paul dribbled the ball past halftime.

He did not choose a three-point shot this time, but wanted to break through the defense and enter the penalty area just like Westbrook.

Westbrook's defense is also very strong, not much worse than Paul.

Ning Caichen can beat Westbrook by force, but the layup success rate is extremely low, so he wisely chose to pass the ball after setting a certain distance from Westbrook.

Now Ning Caichen and Westbrook's offensive styles are completely opposite. Westbrook breaks through the defense to score, while Ning Caichen breaks through Westbrook's defense to pass the ball.

There is no way, Ning Caichen's ability level is still a little lower.

After a few rounds, Westbrook finally showed a surprised expression again.

Every time he faced Ning Caichen, Ning Caichen could predict his next attack line very well.Compared with the previous game, Ning Caichen's defense has simply stepped up to a higher level.

For Ning Caichen's defense, Westbrook felt more and more pressure, even more uncomfortable than Paul's defense.

Paul didn't have Ning Caichen's perverted strength.

Under the leadership of Westbrook's offense, the Thunder clung to the score.

It's not how good the Thunder's offense is, but the Clippers simply didn't play a good offense.

As time went by, this came and went, and as the score rose, the two sides seemed to have entered a state of intense heat, which lasted until the end of the second quarter.

Ning Caichen was always in a state of excitement when he and Westbrook faced each other, but he also knew that this was a game, and it was impossible to play around like this throughout the game.

"Ning, do you want to continue?"

Paul saw that Ning Caichen was still excited, and that the contest with Westbrook in the first half had begun to gain momentum. He really wanted to see which one would win in the end, Ning Caichen or Westbrook.

"No, let's talk about winning the game first!"

As soon as the third quarter came on the court, although Rivers didn't give too many orders, the Clippers players still had a tacit understanding and began to really cooperate.

When all the Clippers players are playing normally and the guards are not messing around, the offensive efficiency is extremely terrifying.

In the Thunder team, except for Westbrook, the other players began to slowly fail to keep up with the Clippers' offensive rhythm.But at halftime, the Clippers opened up a 13-point gap.

At the beginning of the third quarter, they were only behind by 2 points.

Westbrook continued to advance in singles. Although his face did not show that he cared too much about the score, the sudden burst of speed and the length of time he held the ball all showed that Westbrook had begun to get nervous.

The 13-point gap doesn't seem like much, but as long as the Clippers score two more goals, the game will basically be set.

As Westbrook wished, seeing such a good situation, how could Paul miss it?
Paul received the ball from Ning Caichen, faced the defensive player, and scored a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

After Westbrook passed Ning Caichen again and went inside and missed a layup, the Clippers advanced rapidly.Ning Caichen made a half-court lob and assisted Griffin with a flying dunk, which directly stopped the game.

The fans at the scene almost jumped up, it was wonderful.

In just a few minutes, the Thunder were completely defeated.With a difference of nearly 20 points, facing a team like the Clippers, the Thunder have almost no chance of winning.

The victory is set, and the Clippers replaced all the main players.

"Coach, I want to stay on the court." Seeing that Rivers was not going to let him play, Ning Caichen asked proactively.

Rivers looked at Ning Caichen, then waved his hand, signaling Ning Caichen to be free.

There is no doubt about Ning Caichen's role in the team. If Ning Caichen is on the court to restrain him, it will be safer.Besides, looking at Ning Caichen's state, it seems that he can't use up his strength.

Ning Caichen excitedly followed his teammates to play again.

After playing, Ning Caichen didn't compete with Westbrook anymore, but helped his teammates create opportunities.

As for Westbrook, it doesn't matter whether you are the main force or the substitute, you are still fully fired, and your efficiency has improved a lot.

Facing Westbrook's unyielding spirit, Ning Caichen admires it very much. If it were him, he would be the same as Westbrook, and would not give up until the last moment.

Westbrook sighed deeply in his heart. He tried very hard to get the score back, but the Clippers had Ning Caichen.

If Ning Caichen didn't play, there might be a chance to bring the score closer in the second team.

But Ning Caichen is not only a super shooter, but also a first-class point guard.

Because of Ning Caichen, the offensive fluency of the second lineup is not worse than that of the main lineup, and sometimes it even plays simpler and more effective.
