Chapter 183 Unexpectedly
What is cheating?

Little Rivers is called cheating.Not only cheating father, but also cheating teammates.
The situation where the two teams were entangled in the past no longer exists.The scale of victory has completely moved closer to the Spurs.

With a gap of 11 points, there are 3 minutes left in the game.For the high-intensity playoffs, especially against the Spurs who are playing defensively today, it is basically difficult to catch up.Unless, the Spurs put on the bench.

"What kind of pig-headed Rivers is this goddamn? Fuckingly replaced Ning Caichen with his own son at a critical moment. Is this an act of death?"

"I lost, don't watch it, judging from the defense of the Spurs and the state of the Clippers today, the Clippers have nothing to do tonight, wait for the next game!!"

"Hehe, I just want to see such a situation, I really want to see how Ning Caichen and Paul will fight back!!"

Many fans couldn't understand the adjustments made by Rivers, and they were very pessimistic about the next form.

Little Rivers returned to the bench in disgrace, and Rivers could only shake his head speechlessly after seeing it.

Rivers once again made tactical adjustments to the team.There was no other way but to replace Ning Caichen again.At the same time, Redick also replaced Ning Caichen at shooting guard, while Ning Caichen was replaced at small forward.

For Ning Caichen, this adjustment is facing the Spurs small forward Leonard, and nothing has changed.

Paul listened to Rivers' tactics with a dark face, and now he has the heart to kill.

Originally, Ning Caichen was chasing points well. Seeing that two more rounds would almost disrupt the rhythm of the Spurs, the good situation was disrupted by the two father and son.

Ning Caichen smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go! We still have a chance, but we have to fight."

Paul glanced at Ning Caichen and nodded heavily.

Their overall strength is stronger than the Spurs, but tonight they were led off the tempo by the Spurs at the beginning, and the suffocating defense of the Spurs made them very uncomfortable.With the addition of Rivers' father and son team, it's not bad to drag the Spurs into this.

The Clippers had possession of the ball. As soon as Paul dribbled the ball past the half court, Ning Caichen ran quickly, and they started a double point guard tactic.

Although double point guards are not very effective in the face of a super defense, there is no way, the only way to speed up the rhythm.

Leonard couldn't keep up with Ning Caichen's speed. Ning Caichen kept exchanging ball rights with Paul, and the speed was too fast.Every time he was about to make up for Ning Caichen, the basketball in his hands appeared in Paul's hands again.

The basketball was constantly exchanged in the hands of the two, and it was not until the last 3 seconds of the shot clock that Paul threw the ball reluctantly.

Fortunately, the basketball slipped into the basket.

Seeing the Clippers change, Popovich immediately called another timeout.

Ning Caichen frowned when he saw it, and began to simulate any possible tactics that Popovich would make on the tactical board.

The game continued, and Ning Caichen was already somewhat prepared to face the changed Spurs.But a few seconds later, his face changed, and the Spurs' change was still very unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Popovich completely gave up the original way of playing steadily, but chose a radical offensive strategy.

Leonard dribbled the ball and confronted Ning Caichen head-on for the first time in this game.

Gasol saw that Leonard was restrained, so he quickly came out to do a pick-and-roll with Leonard. Leonard took the opportunity to take a step and steadily invested in two long-range shots.

Ning Caichen advanced quickly with the ball, and this time he directly chose Parker as the counter player.

Seeing Ning Caichen being entangled by Parker, Leonard was not entangled and blocked Paul's way.

Ning Caichen drove the ball to the inside, and then retreated quickly. When he retreated to about [-] centimeters from the three-point line, Ning Caichen collected the ball and took off, making a beautiful three-pointer.

"Shhh!!"

The basketball went into the net with a beautiful arc.

Parker rarely faced Ning Caichen, and had no personal experience of Ning Caichen's offensive methods, so he was caught off guard by Ning Caichen for a while.

The Spurs fully demonstrated their minions, began to speed up the rhythm of the offense, and scored consecutively under the Clippers basket.

But Ning Caichen and Paul still did not give up. Under the fast running, Ning Caichen made another three-pointer and an assist for Redick's three-pointer, plus an assist for Paul at the basket.

Popovich's tactic is not unskillful, it is completely unreasonable.Unexpectedly, the Spurs and the Clippers did not fall into a disadvantage when they faced off against each other.

"Defense!!"

Ning Caichen yelled at his teammates, facing Leonard's forced advance, there were only two insiders who could stop him.

It's a pity that the two big insiders were not flexible enough, and Leonard got in and hit the board again.

Time passed, the two sides came and went, the Spurs successfully scored a goal, and the Clippers immediately responded with a three-pointer under the organization of Paul and Ning Caichen.

Under such entanglement, although the score was slowly pulled back by the Clippers, time was also consumed.

With the last 20 seconds left in the game and the Clippers only trailing by 6 points, Paul scored 2 points in a fast break, and then successfully intercepted the ball at the center line.I thought the opportunity would come and I would be safe after scoring another goal, but I didn't expect that Paul's foot slipped and the ball was sent to Parker's hands.

Parker strenuously threw the ball forward, Ginobili stood on the three-point line deftly, and raised his hand to hit a three-pointer.

An open three-pointer, let alone how accurate it is.

The Clippers lost their best counterattack opportunity, and finally ended the game after a strong layup by Ning Caichen.

The Clippers finally regretted losing a game at home, and they also lost a home court advantage.The next game will be even more difficult.

Ning Caichen's performance is still stable and efficient.Scored a team-high 28 points and 13 assists.Paul also performed well, with 19 points and 16 assists.

The Clippers players entered the locker room with frustrated faces, and the fans left the arena full of disappointment.

"Unfortunately, the strength of the Clippers today was limited by the Spurs to less than 7%. It is normal to play in this state and lose. After all, the Spurs contributed an epic game to us tonight." defensive battle."

"That's right!! Coach Rivers made a big mistake in changing players at the critical time. If there was no such change, the final result might not be the same."

"Just wait for the next game and wait for the overall recovery of the Clippers players!! I think the next game will be even more exciting."

Fans who watched tonight's game should have seen it, and the Clippers' upset tonight is acceptable.The Spurs' performance tonight was really perfect, and the change in the last two minutes or so was enough for Popovich to enter the tactical textbook again.

There are rational fans, and of course there are irrational fans.They couldn't accept that the Clippers' current lineup still lost to the Spurs, and they took out the jerseys of several of the Clippers' leading stars to vent their anger.

Whether it is the cooperation and execution of the players, or Popovich's tactical changes, Ning Caichen has a word of "submission" for these.

Although the Clippers lost to the Spurs, it does not mean that the Clippers players are discouraged.It's the first game of the series!It's still a long time.

Ning Caichen also saw what is called a master-level tactic tonight. After simulating Popovich's tactical layout several times, he got an A score.

Popovich's tactical arrangement tonight crushed Rivers!

Although he lost the game, Ning Caichen was still very excited.Regardless of winning or losing the game, he gained a lot tonight.One is the insight on defense. Tonight's defense of the Spurs has given him a lot of insight; the second is Popovich's tactical philosophy.

The experience gained tonight is enough for Ning Caichen to digest for a while.

……

The media made detailed reports on the first game of the series between the Clippers and the Spurs.Apart from being a pity for the Clippers, I didn't feel very surprised.

The strength of the Spurs lies there, a traditional strong team, and they played so well.It is not surprising that the Clippers lost to such a Spurs.

Ning Caichen and others chose to block all kinds of information from the outside world.They have to spend their minds on training to prepare for the next game.

The Spurs taught them a profound lesson in the first game, so they have to reflect on themselves and figure out how to solve it when they encounter this situation again.

The day passed quickly, and the second game that everyone was looking forward to was about to be staged.

Everyone believes that the Clippers have lost a home court advantage, and the Clippers will definitely not give the Spurs another chance.

Just when everyone thought the Clippers could win the second game, the Spurs came out and slapped their faces again.

The Spurs once again suppressed the Clippers' offense with a super strong defense, and the Spurs' offensive end was also more aggressive than the previous game.

At the request of Rivers, the Clippers demanded the same as the Spurs last game, playing steadily and defending against the Spurs.In the last game, they were just out of luck.

Ning Caichen had no choice but to remind Rivers once again that he couldn't play like the last game, or he would lose badly.

Unexpectedly, Rivers didn't take Ning Caichen's words to heart at all, and just ignored them.He also repeatedly emphasized to the players that they can't fight alone, and must focus on the overall situation, otherwise they will be punished and so on.

Ning Caichen was speechless and had no choice but to play according to Rivers' arrangement.

In the end, the players played timidly, and were held down by the Spurs for the entire game.

It wasn't until after losing the game that Rivers remembered Ning Caichen's words, not to mention how ugly his face was.

Paul was so angry that he threw the towel directly at Rivers' feet, Rivers was embarrassed for a while, maybe Paul was targeting him...
