Chapter 310 Paul's Psychological Warfare
In the training game on the second day, Blake Griffin finally appeared in the training hall to do some basic training to maintain his condition and prepare for the game at night. His face looked a little bad. First, Del Negro Went up to chat with him, and then Chris Paul went to chat with him, but it didn't seem to get Blake Griffin out of it.

He is different from Anson. Anson's basketball career has more setbacks than Blake Griffin. He was forced to leave the basketball team when he was a child, and he was a substitute in college. He didn't start until the last few days of his college career. , so he is more able to bear than Blake Griffin, so after persuasion, An Sheng is also easier to accept.

The fourth game is about to start. Although Blake Griffin is not playing very well, he is still a very important part of the Clippers. Once he is completely out of shape, the game will look like the third game. Close but not even the slightest chance.

The fourth game was still held at the American Airlines Center. The victory of the previous game made the audience who came to the scene more enthusiastic. They continued to come here full of passion to cheer for the Heat.

But in fact, the Heat, who had such an advantage, fell into the rhythm of the Clippers at the beginning of the game. Chris Paul played his offense stronger than the previous game.

After the pick-and-roll with Anson, he directly hit a three-pointer before his friend LeBron James had time to make up the defense.

This three-pointer can be regarded as a psychological warfare played by Chris Paul against his friend LeBron James.

LeBron James is quite familiar with Chris Paul. He doesn’t think his friend will choose to force a three-pointer against his own defense at this time. This is not Chris Paul’s playing habit, so LeBron James A little lazy, as strong as LeBron James played 40 pairs of minutes in the game, it is also very difficult to maintain extremely high defensive attention.

However, Chris Paul also understood his friend's thoughts at this time, and naturally did not pay attention to this kind of defensive defense. The Clippers scored the first three-pointer, and only LeBron James was extremely surprised. face.

In the 4th minute, Chris Paul seized the opportunity again, and also took advantage of Dwyane Wade's psychology of wanting to defend his pass, and once again crossed the Heat's defense to complete a breakthrough. basket.

7 points and 1 assist, this is not at all like the data that Chris Paul will hand over in the first 5 minutes.It's not just the opponent who has been cheated. Anson has helped Chris Paul complete the pick-and-roll several times and thought that Chris Paul would pass the ball to him, but looking back, he can see Chris Paul's extremely resolute shooting and Breaking through, this little superstar is also helping Anson share the defensive pressure in his own way.

Chris Paul stood up in the first quarter. For the Clippers, who are already underdogs, this is definitely good news. When the momentum was at its peak, but the head-on blow in the first game and the lead in the third game made the young Clippers' mentality problematic.

Fortunately, during the game, Chris Paul can stand up. Compared with An Sheng, Chris Paul is a real master of psychological warfare. He knows the hearts of his two friends very well. The best player on the court.

"I didn't expect that what the media said didn't make Blake stand out, but it inspired the strongest Chris. I have a hunch tonight that this little guy will score very high points." Charles Barkley's tone There is a bit of hatred for Charles Barkley in it. For a representative figure who is also a violent power forward, as a Clippers fan, the player he is most optimistic about is also the player who has the most similar style to him, but Blake Griffin let Charles Barkley down this year.

Before this game, those who had opinions on Blake Griffin included Charles Barkley, one of the top five power forwards in history, but for many mindless people, what he said was very meaningful It's just a matter of reason. For the beast power forward, there may be no one in this league who speaks more authoritatively than him.

"Blake shouldn't rush to develop his mid-range shooting ability. What kind of player is Dirk? Since he started playing basketball at the age of 13, he has followed this style of play all the way forward, and you can't just because If you lose to him, you will directly change your style of play. His mid-range shot is not as incomprehensible as Dirk, and his explosive breakthrough is not as strong as when I first met him. We can develop other things when it comes to killing moves, otherwise people all over the world will play fadeaway jumpers and play shooting guards."

This paragraph is very reasonable, but it seems that Blake Griffin can't listen to it now. In the last game just now, he was blown by Chris Bosh with a mid-range shot. The words became a little paranoid, and he wanted to beat Chris Bosh in the same way.

Chris Paul's psychological warfare has played a role, so the Clippers will naturally have a lot more opportunities in front of this super point guard, especially Blake Griffin, but in this game, he played After receiving the ball, he didn't bravely hit the basket, but instead shot a jumper, and the situation in the past two days made his competitive state not particularly comfortable.

Missed 3 mid-range shots in a row. Instead, Chris Bosh played very strongly on the offensive end. With a quick breakthrough from the bottom line, he passed Blake Griffin's defense and completed a lob shot.

The score advantage that Chris Paul used his psychological advantage in the early stage of the game was completely equalized again.

"Blake, is he really going to be the most problematic part of this team? LeBron and Chris are already behind him, but that's it, he didn't decisively attack the inside, even if it was three years ago Dirk Nowitzki is criticized by the whole world as a soft player. At this time, he will decisively go to the inside instead of using his best jump shot to waste such a good opportunity given to him by the point guard. It shouldn't."
