Chapter 1446 An Unexpected Losing Streak (Part [-])
After consecutive away wins over the Bulls and Bucks, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles with a two-game winning streak and returned to the Staples Center.

The home opener of the new season is against the Jazz, and the team is attacking the initiator of the three-game winning streak.

However, after the start of the game, the Clippers' offense seemed too impatient, and many attacks failed. The Jazz played steadily. Favors made consecutive mid-range hits, and the Jazz hit a small offensive climax.

Lan Shengli saw that the team's offense was weak, so he arranged for Love to go inside and play hard. Love's back knockdown had a good effect, but~
While the ball was still bouncing back and forth on the rim, Jordan simply put the ball into the rim in a superficial manner.

The Jazz players immediately protested the goaltending.

"Beep~!!"

The referee also quickly made a penalty, the offense interfered with the ball, and the goal was invalid.

"Oh~~~"

The fans at the scene heard it and immediately lamented.

The Clippers' first home game of the new season seems to have to wait for a while.

But the Jazz's offensive is very fierce.

Harris holds the ball from the outside, still using the pick-and-roll tactic with Favors, and the top arc is directly preparing for a three-pointer.

George, who switched defenses here, was very sensitive and took off directly to try to block the shot.

After all, George is more than a head taller than Harris. If the judgment is accurate, it is very likely that he will block the shot directly.

But Harris is also an "old fritter". Seeing George rushing over, he directly controlled the center of gravity, took off again, and jumped towards George's body.

"Beep~!!!"

Harris collided with George in the air and threw the ball. The referee immediately blew his whistle, the gesture was quite clear, a three-pointer was fouled, and three free throws were made.

George stood where he was, shaking his head and pinching his waist with a very remorseful expression.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Harris made all three free throws steadily, and the point difference went towards double digits.

The broadcast footage of the game immediately gave Lan Shengli.

Lan Shengli just made tactical gestures towards Harden who was dribbling, and had no intention of calling a timeout.

Since it is not called a timeout, then this game depends on when the Clippers can get back to their form.

Here Harden switched to playing a pick-and-roll with Jordan.

Jordan deliberately came to Harden's left-hand side to do a pick-and-roll, the purpose is to allow Harden to go to the left-hand side.

It's all details.

After the pick-and-roll, the two went down at the same time. The Jazz were afraid of Harden and Jordan's alley-oop, so they didn't get too close to Harden, so Harden dribbled the ball with his left hand and rushed towards the basket.

"Beep~!!!"

Harden used his usual tricks, relying on others to layup.

Perhaps out of sympathy for the Clippers, the referee blew his whistle and gave Harden a chance to get to the free throw line.

The players of the Jazz seemed wronged. Perhaps they felt that the team's defensive tactics were very successful, and the Clippers could no longer score.

However, the referee's "help" is different.

While speaking, Harden walked to the free throw line, and the audience was very quiet. The fans were waiting for the first home point of the new season.

"Clang~!!!"

However, this first point seems to have to be postponed for a while.

Harden's first free throw was a little short, and the ball hit the front of the basket.

The bad touch has continued to free throws.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

"Come on~!!"

"Harden come on~!!!"

The fans here also applauded or shouted to motivate Harden.

"Hoo~!!"

For the second penalty, Harden deliberately took a deep breath and adjusted his state.

"Swipe~!!!"

Finally, the long-awaited came out, and the Clippers' first home goal of the new season arrived.

Perhaps, this ball can relieve the pressure on some players and adjust them back to a normal state.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

"Defense~!!, everyone~!!, get excited, get active~!!"

Lan Shengli clapped his hands and continued to encourage the players.

But now the difference seems to exist.

If you want to catch up with this point difference, you need to play a wave of offensive climax.

However, it is obviously difficult for the Jazz, which is based on defense, to make the opponent play a small climax.

Throughout the first half of the game, the Jazz maintained a shooting percentage of about [-]%, and the Clippers' outside offense was only below the normal level, so the point difference is still close to double digits.

Watching Lan Shengli walking towards the player tunnel after halftime, you can feel that Lan Shengli has a lot to say in the 10 minutes of the half-time break, and the players have a lot to do .

"We didn't play well in the first half~, we hesitated on the offensive end, and the patience on the defensive end seemed insufficient. It's understandable for everyone to be excited and excited in the first home show, but we still have to keep calm~!!, keep a clear mind, Fight according to tactics~!"

Lan Shengli reminded the players.

In the second half of the game, although the Clippers still got a lot of opportunities, their outside shooting percentage was indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

"Clang clang~!!"

Even the veteran Billups' shots were not open.

The Jazz are still playing steadily.

"Swipe~!!"

Favors' mid-range hits are still steady.

"Dangdang~, brush~!!"

Harris' breakthrough throw is also able to continue the firepower.

The Jazz's high shooting percentage has been maintained.

"We have to speed up, we have to speed up the offensive round, we are now 7 points behind, chasing 7 points in one quarter, it is not so difficult~!!, everyone still has to be patient, since we don't feel good outside today, Then try to hit the inside as much as possible, our inside has a height advantage, even if we can’t score, we still have the opportunity to bluntly foul, go to the free throw line, or make a tip~!!”

During the break between the third and fourth quarters, Lan Shengli continued to remind the players.

"Swipe~!!!"

After the start of the fourth quarter, Love took the lead in finding the touch.

A three-pointer from the outside allowed the team to narrow the point difference to 4 points.

"Dum~!!!"

The sensitive Jazz coach immediately called a timeout.

If they can beat the Clippers in an away game, it will be an upset for the Jazz.

"One, oppress Love from outside, and two, continue to fight Favors~!!"

The head coach of the Jazz issued a "death order."

Love soon received "special attention" here.

It is difficult to make shots from outside.

Fortunately, Le Fu has the ability to cope.

"Clang clang~!!"

"Clang~!!"

However, whether it is Harden or George, the feeling of outside shooting is still not good, and they just can't make a shot.

So this difference can never be indented to be smaller.

"Since the offense doesn't feel good, we'll defend as hard as we can. Give me all the pressure to defend, don't be afraid of fouls, fight like hell~!!!"

During the pause, Lan Shengli made arrangements.

It could be heard that Lan Shengli still did not give up.
