Chapter 1122 The Silent Pepsi Center

"I think we should remove Lawson first, or switch defenses. Playing like this now doesn't really work well~ Or we can try a smaller lineup~!!"

After Gallinari's mid-range turnaround shot was blocked by Livingston, coach Carl finally couldn't help calling a timeout.

The Nuggets are not playing very well now, and they have not been able to make a strong start. Here, the assistant coach of the Nuggets suggested.

"I know that the situation is not going very well now. I need some substantive tactical suggestions, especially how to start the next five-second offense. We haven't scored since the beginning~!!"

Karl said to the teaching assistants.

"Hey~"

The stubborn old man also made the assistant not know what to say.

"Everyone is playing well, continue in this state, because the opponent hasn't scored yet, so they must be rushing to score~!!, so pay special attention to the opponent's outside attack, especially JR, and beware of his sudden attack. Let's go~!"

Lan Shengli reminded.

The timeout came back soon. The Nuggets did make some personnel adjustments here, but it had nothing to do with Lawson. Instead, Martin was replaced, Nene was pushed to the center position, and then replaced. Harrington.

Karl's intention of this substitution adjustment is still very obvious, that is to strengthen the offensive firepower.

While speaking, Gallinari was standing on the baseline, ready to serve.

After Lawson pretended to catch the ball, he suddenly made a cover for Harrington who had just played.

This is a tactic that the Clippers have often used before.

Gallinari quickly passed the ball directly.

After Harrington received the ball, he saw that it was Harden who switched to defend him, so he directly shot a three-pointer from the corner very confidently.

Harden didn't rush too hard, he just pretended to "scare".

"Swipe~!!!"

Harrington made a contribution from the very beginning.

"Yeah!!!!!!"

"Beep beep beep~!!!"

Just when the fans in the Pepsi Center were cheering and celebrating the team's first goal of the game, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

I saw that the referee first whistled that the goal was invalid, and then whistled that Harrington stepped on the baseline and went out of bounds before shooting.

A three-pointer suddenly turned into a turnover, which hurts the Nuggets~! !

Harrington raised his head helplessly, looked at the big screen, and waited for the playback.

I saw that when Harrington went from the flank to the bottom corner, when he just received the ball, his heel was indeed stepped outside the sideline. It can only be said that Harrington's foot was too big.

"Switch~!!, Switch~!!, Resolutely switch~!!!"

Lan Shengli saw that there was a big problem in the defense this time, and immediately reminded the team members.

Under normal circumstances, the lagging team is not very lucky. It might have been a three-pointer, but it turned out to be a mistake.

"Come on~!!, turn the ball around, and hit like this~!!"

Here Karl is also clapping his hands, encouraging the players.

If the Nuggets can continue this offense, it will be a matter of time before they score.

And when the Clippers' offense will stop, it's really hard to say.

I saw that Livingston hit Lawson on the back near the middle distance again.

Lawson's expression reveals a kind of helplessness and suffering.

But Livingston didn't care about that. After the back hit, he turned over and made a fadeaway jumper again.

"Crack~!!!"

Lawson didn't care about that here, and directly slapped Livingston's shooting arm hard.

"Beep~!!"

The referee blows the whistle quickly.

"If you can only use fouls to stop the opponent's attack, then such a foul is a failure~!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

"Dum~!!!"

Carl finally let go of his stubbornness and replaced Lawson.

Lawson, who has already fouled twice, will basically not come back in the first quarter.

Lawson shook his head, and returned to the bench, throwing a towel.

Lawson, who had killed all sides in the first game, was completely suppressed now.

Without any effect, Lawson even had a negative effect on the court.

Felton was brought on.

"We should let Livingston rest for a while, our goal has been achieved~!"

Here Harper stood up, half squatted and stuck to Lan Shengli's ear, reminding him.

"Forcibly pause later~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

After Livingston made two free throws, the Clippers had a 9-0 lead.

"Nuggets, come on~!!"

"Nuggets, come on~!!"

The fans at the scene were still cheering for the team, but the excitement was far inferior to that at the beginning of the game.

After all, the team is really too passive now.

While speaking, Felton and Harrington, two players who came from the bench here, started a pick-and-roll cooperation.

Felton passes to Harrington who pulls out.

Harrington pretended to shoot a three-pointer, and then suddenly accelerated to break through. When he came near the top arc of the free throw line, he shot directly from the middle distance.

Harden, who defended Harrington, still couldn't keep up this time.

Harden's defensive sluggishness was once again magnified.

"Swipe~!!!"

The ball went into the frame again, and this time it really went in. It didn't step on the boundary, and there was no other situation. It was a mid-range hit.

Harrington finally scored the first goal of the game for the Nuggets.

After the two sides, you came and I went back and forth for a few rounds~
"Dum~!!!"

The game quickly reached the first mandatory timeout.

Lan Shengli also immediately made substitution adjustments.

"This is the strongest solo show I've seen so far in this year's playoffs~!!, I'm so proud of your performance~!!"

Lan Shengli encouraged Livingston after the rest.

Livingston has completed the task assigned by the head coach. Strictly speaking, it has exceeded the task.

"Continue to maintain the intensity of the game, expand the defense, expand it resolutely~!!, continue to put pressure on the opponent's defense~!!, I want to see your state of sparing no effort on the defensive end~!!"

Lan Shengli reminded the players.

The game is still going on.

During the speech, it has reached the last attack of the first quarter.

Because all the main players of the Clippers have been replaced, Harden has become the main attack point.

Here Felton used his strong body against Harden, preventing him from dribbling the ball.

Harden was not in a hurry, he dribbled the ball sideways, and suddenly pulled out a three-pointer.

In the rotation stage, Harden played a lot of individual singles, and this kind of offense is also allowed by Lan Shengli.

Felton didn't make any interfering actions, after all, Harden's shot was really too fast~

"Swipe~!!!"

"Dum~!!!"

At the same time as the light was on, the ball went into the net hollow, and the Pepsi Center fell silent.
