Chapter 1498 The Ultimate Rush of the Regular Lineup

There are less than 10 hours before the start of the battle between the Clippers and the Spurs at Tianwangshan.

The players from both sides hadn't waited to meet each other on the field, but the head coaches of both sides happened to meet in the bathroom.

However, after Lan Shengli and Popovich met under such circumstances, they did not have that kind of tit-for-tat state, but there was a feeling of "seeing each other late", and the two chatted very "speculatively".

If it was in a coffee shop, maybe the two of them could just keep chatting like this.

"I hope tonight will be a wonderful game~"

"I hope tonight can maintain the magical law of away wins like before, haha~!"

The two of them didn't chat for too long. Even if the conversation was very speculative, it would still feel weird to chat in a place like the bathroom.

Perhaps after this occasional one-on-one private chat, the two of them are looking forward to the evening game even more.

"Coach Bruce, the players and I want to confirm one thing as soon as possible~"

The time came to the pre-match preparation meeting in the afternoon. Before the meeting, Billups suddenly looked serious and asked Lan Shengli.

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli nodded, expressing his willingness to listen.

"Will there be any special changes to the starting lineup for tonight's game~?!"

Billups tried to ask.

"Oh~, this matter~, I can tell you very responsibly about this matter, the team will return to the most original starting set tonight~, don't worry~"

Lan Shengli replied readily.

It seems that Lan Shengli followed Mia's tactical thinking of "responsibility to change with the same".

"I kind of like starting from the bench~"

Billups sighed secretly, and didn't say anything more.

The Clippers' pre-game preparations are in progress, as is the Spurs.

"Tonight's starting lineup is still unchanged, and we will continue to play the most conventional set~"

Here Popovich also decided to "respond to all changes with the same".

Perhaps Mia is the real "Master Tactician".

If both sides send out normal starting lineups, it will be the first regular lineup match between the two sides in this series.

It still sounds promising.

But this is the scene that should have been known for a long time.

This game is likely to become the ultimate battle of the regular lineup.

As night fell, as more and more fans came outside the Staples Center, the start of the game was getting closer and closer.

"The significance of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain to the entire series, I think there is no need to say more here, everyone should know~"

In the Clippers locker room, Lan Shengli said to the players.

"Although we unfortunately failed to win the previous two home games~, but this home game, I hope there will be a different situation~, I hope we can play the game that belongs to the Clippers, and play round by round. ~, I believe that the final victory will belong to us~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to encourage the players.

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Clipper~!"

With such a major premise of 2:2, the players also shouted with more confidence.

The starters of both sides will also be released soon.

Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan, Diaw.

Billups, Harden, George, Love, Jordan.

Just like what the head coaches of the two sides said before the game, this time they did not use routines anymore, and faced the battle of Tianwangshan with an attitude of not changing.

"Finally we can see the ultimate showdown where both sides will start together~ It's really exciting~!!, haha~!"

"Yeah~, this should be a situation where two teams are facing each other~, I really watched the game tonight~"

"Let's get started~!!, I really can't wait~!!"

The fans also seem to be quite looking forward to it.

"Clippers, come on~!!"

"Clippers, come on~!!"

"Clippers, come on~!!"

Accompanied by waves of cheers in the Staples Center, the Clippers' "home field advantage" was finally revealed.

The game started soon.

Jordan jumped high and still got the ball steadily. Harden dribbled to the frontcourt.

Harden and Jordan quickly set up a pick-and-roll.

The purpose of the Clippers is very clear, that is to speed up as much as possible and speed up the rhythm of the offensive game.

After the pick-and-roll, Jordan rushed to the inside.

Harden hangs on Dior and dribbles low to the inside.

Facing Leonard's supplementary defense, Harden directly made a hook-like action with his left hand, throwing the ball towards the basket.

This is obviously not a shot.

I saw Jordan jumping high, pressing down on Duncan in front of him, grabbing the ball, and directly pouring the ball into the basket.

This ball can be said to be a slam dunk completed by riding Duncan.

Duncan once again became the "background emperor".

"Yeah~!!!"

The fans who were already very excited were immediately ignited by this very shocking slam dunk.

The entire Staples Center exploded.

The fans all stood up and cheered.

"come, on~!!"

Jordan also returned to defense while waving his arms and shouting, mobilizing the enthusiasm of the fans.

"Return to defense~!!, pay attention to the combination of zone defense, and communicate more when picking and rolling and changing players~!!!"

Here, Lan Shengli didn't have time to enjoy this kind of exciting moment, while waving his arms, he reminded him.

Perhaps in this noisy environment, the team members couldn't hear what Lan Shengli was saying at all, but Lan Shengli still had to do it, and he had to do it.

Here, the Blue Victory Spurs still played Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll calmly.

After switching defenses, Duncan held the ball and hit Jordan with his back.

This is a good opportunity for Duncan to "revenge".

I saw Duncan slapped Jordan on the back, and after signaling his teammates to pull away, he immediately used a very iconic lateral move from the side of the basket to the front of the basket.

Then he made a screen with his left hand, and holding the ball with his right hand was a "skyhook" on the move.

Jordan stretched out his arms, trying to interfere as much as possible, but the situation was not ideal.

The ball still passed through Jordan's fingertips and fell towards the basket.

"Clang clang clang~!!"

"Beep~!!!"

The ball was still bouncing back and forth on the basket, but the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

Jordan's shot blocking foul.

"Brush~"

At the same time, the ball bounced into the basket.

Duncan responded very forcefully to the situation of being detained before.

Little Jordan looked at the referee with a puzzled expression, as if he felt that this was a very good defense and there was no foul.

But the referee disagreed.

The low-key "Stone Buddha" responded with practical actions.

The low-key Spurs were not submerged in the Clippers' noise.
