Chapter 1481

Although the Clippers won the second place in the Western Conference, their opponent in the first round of the playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies, is not an easy opponent to solve.

The Memphis Grizzlies may be the last of all playoff teams.

But since you have encountered it, you still have to do your best to win.

Although this process will be more difficult, but still have to work hard to do it.

The process of the game also confirmed this point.

A flying save by Tony Allen helped the Grizzlies hit a 5:0 spurt.

The Grizzlies are playing more and more vigorously, and the situation is really not good for the Clippers.

"Crack!!"

While talking here, the Clippers' offense, George was directly cut off by the opponent under Prince's defense.

The Clippers' offense seems to be getting more and more impatient, and George's offensive choices are very bad.

Seeing this, Lan Shengli immediately called Butler over.

It should be ready to make substitution adjustments.

While Butler was taking off his training uniform, Lan Shengli reminded him.

"Dum~!!"

Soon, taking advantage of a fouled dead ball opportunity, the Clippers made substitution adjustments.

Butler replaced George.

At the same time, Brewer replaced Jordan.

The Clippers lowered the height of the lineup on the field, but increased flexibility.

But in this way, only Love is left on the inside. If Brewer plays the fourth position, it is also doubtful whether he can carry Griffin with his thin body.

In short, Lan Shengli's substitution seems very bold and "dangerous".

Sure enough, after the game restarted, Griffin immediately stuck Brewer to catch the ball.

Conley also passed it on immediately.

Just when everyone thought that Griffin would easily receive the ball, and then easily hit Brewer to score the ball, Brewer did not choose to "sit and wait".

But "proactively attack".

I saw Brewer suddenly move laterally, and when he came to the side of Griffin, he stretched out his long arms sideways, and instantly broke the ball that had just hit the ground and bounced off.

Brewer contributed a very successful sudden half-round forward defense.

In other words, Griffin was a little too careless and didn't continue to get stuck while preparing to catch the ball, giving Brewer a chance to steal.

"Beep~!!!"

When Griffin wanted to fight back, he pushed down Brewer, who was almost in control of the ball, and the referee called a foul.

Brewer contributed a successful defense as soon as he came up.

"Papapa~!!!, yes~!!, good defense~!!!"

Lan Shengli immediately clapped his hands to encourage him.

This kind of defensive enthusiasm and predictability are what Brewer is very good at.

This is also the reason why he can still become the defensive vanguard of the team when his weight is not dominant.

While talking, the Clippers quickly sent a sideline kick,
Harden didn't dribble twice, and it went directly to Butler who had just played.

Perhaps it is also to let this former All-Star striker quickly touch the ball and find out how he feels.

But facing Prince's defense, Butler didn't seem to just want to touch the ball.

I saw that Butler first made three threats after receiving the ball, fake pass, fake shot and fake breakthrough, but Prince remained motionless, still maintaining a defensive position at a certain distance.

Seeing this, Butler directly made a three-pointer without hesitation.

Prince wanted to block the shot, but because he was too far away from Butler, he couldn't reach it at all.

"Swipe~!!"

The ball went straight into the net.

The Clippers' first three-pointer of the game came just like that.

It wasn't Harden, it wasn't George, and it wasn't Love who made it, but Butler, who is not good at outside shooting, made it.

"Yeah~!!!"

The Staples Center finally ushered in the long-lost cheers.

Butler's goal broke the dull game atmosphere of the previous team and the somewhat rigid offensive position.

Looking at Butler's ruthless expression, you can tell that as a member of "Win the Championship Lying Down", this time, he wants to prove with practical actions that he can help another team win the championship again.

"This is what it means to have veterans in a team. Maybe they often play some "healthy basketball" in the regular season, but in the playoffs, at the most critical time, veterans, especially like Butler Veterans who have won the championship are all able to exert greater energy~"

Lan Shengli sighed.

After the first quarter, the Clippers relied on the outstanding performance of Butler and Brewer's two substitute players to lead the team to a 22:18 lead by 4 points.

In the case of a relatively passive start, it is not easy to be able to take the lead in the end.

The second quarter started quickly, and both sides sent substitutes.

However, the Grizzlies did not deploy large-scale troops. Conley continued to stay on the court after playing the first quarter.

The Grizzlies' backup point guard is indeed relatively stretched.

The Clippers got Billups back.

Billups, who rested for more than half a quarter, should have no major physical problems.

While talking here, Billups dribbled to the frontcourt.

Kaman, who had just played, made a pick-and-roll for Billups.

The Clippers' offense is still mainly initiated by pick-and-roll tactics.

Kaman's quality pick-and-roll gave Billups an open shot.

But Conley quickly bypassed the screen and returned to Billups.

But at this time, Billups had already made a shooting action, and the sensitive Conley jumped up directly.

Conley was originally a relatively calm and calm guard, but facing the more experienced Billups, Conley still "underwhelmed".

After deceiving Conley, Billups went directly to meet him, and the two collided in the air.

Because Conley collided with Billups' left side, Billups kept his balance with one hand, and directly threw the ball towards the basket with one arm.

Conley and Billups lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"Beep~!!!"

The referee immediately blew his whistle, indicating a three-point foul.

"Swipe~!!!"

At the same time, with the very strong backspin of the ball, it directly hit the net with a hollow brush.

Billups hit a magical goal and had a chance to make a "3+1".

"Yeah~!!!"

Staples Center is boiling again.

Jordan and other substitute players immediately waved the towel frantically, shouting for Billups.

After Butler and Brewer, another veteran of the Clippers, or a real veteran, and a former FMVP-level veteran Billups also began to show off.

Perhaps this goal was a turning point in the entire game.
