Chapter 1121 A difficult problem belonging to Carl

In the first round of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers, third in the West, faced the Denver Nuggets, sixth in the West.

In the third game of the series, Lan Shengli made an unexpected adjustment. He changed Livingston to the starting position.

And received good results.

Livingston scored all Lawson's first two offensive singles, and also made Lawson's foul. The defensive end also switched defenses to steal Martin.

Carl, with a dignified expression, looked at Livingston who was about to make a free throw, wondering what he was thinking.

It seems that Karl is not prepared to make defense or substitution adjustments.

After all, the Clippers are only leading by 4 points now.

"Swipe~!!!"

While talking here, Livingston hit an extra penalty and scored five points in a row.

"Resolutely switch defenses~!!!, all defenses are pushed out~!!!"

Here Lan Shengli is still loudly reminding the players on the sidelines.

Lawson, who was dribbling, still did a pick-and-roll with Martin, and Martin still went down, but this time Lawson did not choose to pass the ball, but directly shot a three-pointer from the flank in front of Jordan.

Lawson's quick release didn't have an immediate effect on Jordan's block.

"Clang clang~!!"

But after all, under Jordan's interference, Lawson could only increase the arc of his shot, so it was difficult to score the ball.

Love took the rebound steadily.

The strong start the Nuggets wanted still hasn't come.

Just like what Lan Shengli arranged before the game, consuming Lawson on both offensive and defensive ends significantly weakened his effect a lot.

While talking, the Clippers quickly attacked again.

Harden once again gave Livingston who was stuck in the position.

Lawson tried to steal the ball, but Livingston pouted and didn't give him a chance.

Livingston continued to play back, while the rest of the Clippers started a big screen battle.

I saw that Livingston here relied on his height advantage to run into the paint area, and then made a turn-back jumper again.

Because Livingston's feet have left the ground this time, there is a high probability that it will not be a fake move.

Martin on the inside thought the same way, so he directly aimed at the basket, staring at the ball that was about to come to the basket.

But at this time, Livingston passed the ball.

I saw that Livingston directly passed the ball raised above his head to George who slipped to the bottom line with the cover.

When Martin found out about this situation, it was too late.

George caught the ball and started straight away~
"Duang~!!!"

After a light jump, he sent a two-handed slam dunk. Although the strength was not very strong, but because of the previous tacit conduction bonus, this slam dunk looked very different.

It is already 7:0.

Livingston helped the team score consecutive points through his own offensive threats, while the Nuggets were very passive. I can't find a chance to make a mistake~

"Maybe you can consider replacing Lawson~"

Seeing that Karl still didn't take any action, the assistant coach on the side reminded him softly.

"No~, doing that means that we were defeated by the Clippers' starting adjustment, and we will always be led by the nose by the opponent, that would be too passive~!!, we can't do that~"

Carl responded.

"Don't worry~, as long as the opponent doesn't open the outside line, we still have a chance, Lawson won't be choked the whole game~!!"

Carl continued.

Since the head coach said so, the assistant coach has nothing to say, just obey.

While speaking, Lawson did not organize an offense here, but gave it to Gallinari, who was in the mid-range position.

Gallinari slapped George with his back, and the Clippers did not take help defense, but still defended one-on-one.

Lawson was around and ready to catch the ball.

But looking at Gallinari's appearance, it seems that he is ready to fight to the end.

It is indeed a bit difficult for George to carry behind.

After all, in terms of the pure strength advantages of the two, Gallinari must be better.

While speaking, Gallinari has already turned around and came to the bottom line, less than 4 meters away from the basket, a position where he can directly attack the basket.

Gallinari did the same.

After taking off with one foot, Gallinari made a "golden rooster independence" movement similar to Nowitzki's, leaning back directly to prepare to throw the ball.

George looked up and seemed to have given up on defense.

The Nuggets have not scored in multiple rounds after the opening. Will this be the first sports game to score~? !
Just as Gallinari had just thrown the ball and just left his hand, a black shadow immediately appeared beside him.

It's Sean Livingston again.

I saw Livingston, who jumped up, stretched out his long arms, and directly blocked the ball out of the bottom line.

It hit the reporter directly under the basket.

"Oh~!!!"

"Pretty~!!!"

Seeing this, the Clippers bench on the side immediately stood up and cheered.

The closure is clean and impeccable.

"Scoring Livingston, assisting Livingston, stealing Livingston, and now even blocks Livingston, a Livingston, completely lost confidence in both offense and defense of the Nuggets~, This is the purpose and significance of changing to Livingston to start. In the eyes of others, Livingston is just a qualified rotation player, or a transitional player, but in my opinion, he is a player for the playoffs. The player who was born~!!"

Lan Shengli looked at Livingston who was celebrating with his teammates one by one, and thought to himself.

"Now it may be finally possible to say that Coach Blue's adjustments have had an immediate effect~, a young coach is a young coach~!!, haha~!!, the vision is indeed much farther than others~ !!"

The general manager watching the live broadcast of the game here also sighed.

"Dum~!!!!"

When the Nuggets were about to serve the bottom line here, coach Karl suddenly called a timeout.

After all, there are only 5 seconds left in this offense, and if this offense still fails to score, perhaps the Clippers may widen the point difference to double digits.

By that time, the strong start the Nuggets wanted would be completely impossible.

Carl, who looked relatively calm before, may have felt a little bad after Gallinari's attack was blocked.

Look at Carl, who walked slowly into the field with a sad face, what can he do to solve the current team's plight.

Now Livingston is a very difficult point for the Clippers to deal with.

How to deal with Lan Shengli's starting adjustment is a very realistic problem for coach Karl.
