Chapter 219 Returning to Los Angeles

Paul steadily hit a three-pointer, pulling the trailing point difference back to only 4 points.Durant was hit directly to the ground by Thompson.

Ning Caichen is too thieves. If you watch the replay, you will definitely see something tricky. Ning Caichen's last step to escape the double-team is too smooth, as if it was rehearsed.

For such a result, Ning Caichen is still very satisfied and proud.If he doesn't consider winning or losing the game, he has too many ways to deal with these people.

In the first 8 minutes of the first quarter, the Warriors' offense was not too strong. Until the last 3 minutes, the five small lineups suddenly exerted their strength, and almost one player scored one goal, directly pulling the score to 12 points.

Sure enough, the inside line suddenly lacked Griffin and it was still worse. Whether it was offensive or defensive, there was less containment, and he was hit by a wave of inadvertently.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ning Caichen switched positions with Paul and let him control the ball.If he controls the ball to attack, at least two people can be attracted to double-team, which can create more opportunities for his teammates. The premise is that the teammates can seize the opportunity. After all, Ning Caichen sacrificed his own scoring.

Paul's ability Ning Caichen is 8 rest assured. After Durant and Thompson were attracted by Ning Caichen, Paul led his teammates to play a series of beautiful coordinated offenses, and chased the score to [-] points.

Ning Caichen's wishful thinking worked out well, and Cole reacted quickly, and quickly made tactical adjustments in response to Ning Caichen's performance.

Playing again, the Clippers ushered in another wave of fast play from the Warriors.

"No way! Tonight's Warriors team is too fierce. Our temporary lineup can't play an effective counterattack at all." Ning Caichen sighed secretly.

"Why don't you do it yourself, and we'll do a pick-and-roll for you." Paul suggested. At this time, as long as Ning Caichen stood up and made up the score first, there was still a great chance for the teammates' confidence to return.

"No, it's still too early, let's see if we can make up the defense first, and wait until the second half."

The current Clippers seem to have been ripped open by the Warriors defensively, and they can't fill it no matter how they are filled.

And Ning Caichen doesn't have a good way at the moment. If he just wants to score, with the Clippers' current lineup, he still has several ways to break the scoring shortage.However, he is good at arranging offensive tactics, and he doesn't study much about defense.

Helpless, Ning Caichen had no choice but to carry it up by himself. After communicating with Jordan, he planned to use an internal and external defensive tactic.

Ning Caichen's current defensive task is mainly based on Durant, and he must also help defend Green when he has the opportunity. In this way, the burden on him is much heavier.

Although Green's offensive methods are not as diverse as Durant's, he is also an expert with both inside and outside.

"Defense!"

Seeing Curry's nimble dribbling movements, Ning Caichen shouted at his teammates.

The Warriors played very fast in their counterattack. After grabbing a rebound, all players were ready in less than 5 seconds.

With five small lineups, Green will definitely drill inside.

After serving the ball, Green followed behind. As soon as his teammates were in position, he quickly ran in from the half court and went directly into the inside line. Curry directly stuffed the ball after seeing it.

This is not the first time for the Warriors to play such a tactic. It was only after seeing the Clippers without Griffin that they dared to make such a bold and direct attack, and they succeeded repeatedly.

Ning Caichen had already paid attention to Grindo, and when he started running into the inner line and looked back, Ning Caichen also started from the left and ran towards the inner line.

The offense was too simple. Just when Green was proud and was about to jump up and throw the ball, he felt that the basketball in his hand was hit hard by a huge force, and the ball fell out.

"what!"

Green was frightened by the huge force, and he groaned after losing the basketball.Quickly looking at the figure, it turned out that it was Ning Caichen who appeared in the penalty area at some point and cut his ball away.

No one expected that Ning Caichen would suddenly give up defending Durant, and went directly to the penalty area to steal the ball.After everyone reacted, Ning Caichen had already dribbled the ball past halftime, and Durant behind him was desperately catching up.

However, how could Ning Caichen's speed be caught up by Durant.

"boom!!"

As soon as Ning Caichen entered the free throw line, he jumped up separately and slammed a windmill dunk at the Warriors' basket.

"Shit!!" Durant slammed the basketball hard.

"rather!!"

The Clippers players jumped up excitedly and collided with Ning Caichen one by one.

Green hated Ning Caichen so much that he gritted his teeth, and made no effort to hide his dislike for Ning Caichen.

After a successful plan, Ning Caichen repeated his old tricks. While defending Durant, whenever he found that the opponent was not paying attention to his side and entered a critical moment of offense, Ning Caichen would always find a way to take risks and cut into the inside line. It caused a lot of interference to the Warriors' inside line.

Although Ning Caichen's strategy was successful, he was exhausted to death.After the first half, Ning Caichen was sweating profusely, and almost collapsed on the floor from exhaustion.

Ning Caichen's strategy has had a certain effect, at least on the inside line of the Warriors, they no longer dare to attack the Clippers' penalty area as unscrupulously as before.

Ning Caichen's style of play had too many loopholes, and it was only suitable for temporary response. It was very easy to crack it, and he knew it himself, so he quickly changed his tactics.

The Clippers' offense is not a problem, the problem is on defense.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors drove at full speed, and the five small lineups started their performances.The Clippers' defense was defeated again, and it was too late for Ning Caichen to make up the defense.

After half a quarter, it was stretched to 13 points.

Tonight's game is very similar to the last game, except that the Clippers were beaten tonight, and they were beaten by the Warriors almost all night.

The current situation is not optimistic for the Clippers.

The mentality of the Clippers players was unstable. Kerr of the Warriors was also very upset when he saw the score being reversed by the Clippers again and again. He immediately called Green aside and gave a few instructions.

Ning Caichen dribbled the ball across the halfway line, his thoughts changed sharply, and he scanned the players.When talking with Green after seeing Durant, Ning Caichen moved his feet and quickly rushed into the inside with the ball.

"Not good! Guard up..."

Durant didn't expect that Ning Caichen would go directly to the left, because his route was blocked by Green, so he didn't activate it immediately, and quickly pushed Green over.

"Well, it's pretty fast!" Ning Caichen thought it was Durant who followed, but he didn't expect it to be Green.

"Want a three-pointer? Go ahead and dream!" Green pushed forward viciously.

Faced with Green's close defense, Ning Caichen frowned, this girl is so powerful.This is his first official confrontation with Green.

Ning Caichen could only back away slowly with the ball to avoid too much physical contact with Green.

Green didn't dare to do so much, he leaned close to his body, but opened his hands outwards, as if he didn't make a move to touch you Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen had no choice but to drag Green forward with the ball. As soon as he changed his footsteps, he had to change direction, but he didn't expect Green to press up again, but at the moment of pressing down, his elbow hit Ning Caichen's waist hard one time.

"what!"

Ning Caichen was so painful that he almost threw the ball.

"Bastard!!" Enduring the pain, Ning Caichen hastily distanced himself from Green.

"Hey, Chinaman, come here quickly, let me teach you how to defend." Green opened his hand provocatively.

"Defense, what do you call defense? Don't disgust me." Ning Caichen sneered.

"No, no, you little...shit..."

Before Green could finish his sentence, when Green was shaking, Ning Caichen suddenly accelerated and bumped into Green.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, the referee gestured to block the foul!

At the moment when the referee's whistle sounded, Ning Caichen tried his best to straighten his body, tilted his waist and threw the ball in the most perfect posture.

Ning Caichen's ball was a premeditated foul, so although his body has been deformed, his shooting posture is still very good.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the basketball thrown by Ning Caichen also fell into the net after shaking the basket a few times.

3+1.

Ning Caichen scored 3+1. This was his first 3+1 goal, and he couldn't help but celebrate with his fists.

"Referee, he hit someone first. Are you all blind?" Green was very unconvinced. It was Ning Caichen who hit him, so why did he call him a foul.

Durant and Curry hurried over, and before the referee could react, Raglin walked away.The "blind" sentence just now is enough for Green to get a technical foul.

Ning Caichen looked at Green with a sneer, and sneered, "Is this your defense?"

"you……"

Green was about to rush forward to argue with Ning Caichen, but was dragged away by his teammates.

Seeing the interaction between the two on the field, the fans also knew that the two had sparked, and many people even started screaming for the two to do it.

After Ning Caichen made a free throw, the score returned to single digits again.

At Ning Caichen's signal, Rivers also replaced Redick.Now he, Paul, Jordan Jr., Crawford and Redick are on the court, the Clippers' strongest scoring lineup, but the defense has once again dropped a level.

Since there is no way to completely prevent the Warriors' impact on the inside, it is better to change the way and focus on offense.

Ning Caichen's substitution really had a miraculous effect. Under the three-point tactics, the score was quickly brought back to a gap of 5 points.It's a pity that the good times don't last long. The Clippers players seem to have been pressured by the Warriors for a long time tonight, and their morale is always a little bit lower. Under the strong pressure of the Warriors, their shooting percentage began to drop rapidly.

It is a pity that no matter how hard Ning Caichen tried, although he succeeded in beating Durant later, and even scored 2+1 in a row, he still lost to the Warriors by 9 points in the end.

The first away loss in the series, the big score was a 1:1 tie.

Ning Caichen had an eye-catching performance tonight. In the 48-minute game, he only rested for less than 5 minutes. He scored a game-high 37 points and 8 assists.

It is already quite difficult to win a game from the Warriors at home, not to mention, in the absence of Griffin, the game was lost with such a score.
