The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 367 Heart Floating

The attention of the Western Conference Finals naturally surpassed that of the first two rounds. Although most critics believed that the Warriors would lose, the disastrous away defeat still exceeded many people's expectations.

The Warriors are full of newcomers, and the gap in playoff experience is obvious.

The Clippers have experienced the baptism of the Grizzlies and Spurs in the past two years, and they have encountered the Big Three Heat in the Finals.

Although many ball critics are currently belittling the Heat, in fact, there is no need to doubt the strength of the three All-Stars and the team that has ruled the Eastern Conference for 4 years.

The Warriors have maintained the style of play in the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs, but unfortunately, the Clippers are not the Rockets, and Li Ze is not Harden, who stretched at critical moments.
At the post-match press conference, the sports media did not criticize the Warriors. Mengxin had his first time, and losing to the defending champion was not a shame.

Steve Kerr has always had a good relationship with the media, and he has worked in TNT for many years. The public opinion environment after the loss is much better than that of Cavaliers head coach David Blatt.

Scoring 40+ points in the Western Conference Finals is nothing special for Li Ze, and the sports media in America are also used to Li Ze's efficient scoring.

Only the smart air conditioner at home for the Spurs last year reduced the efficiency of Li Ze, who played 48 minutes. In most other games, shooting more than 5% is a basic operation.
Therefore, in the post-match press conference, everyone was simply exchanging business bragging. After all, Li Ze did not encounter too many challenges on the defensive end.

Clay and Iguodala are not elite defenders. Compared with Tony Allen and Leonard, they put much less pressure on Li Ze on the defensive end.

The media reporters present did not think that the Warriors are a strong defensive team. If Li Ze plays such a rookie, everyone will be overjoyed.
The TNT reporter didn't seem to have forgotten Draymond Green's big mouth. After the commercial exchange, near the end of the press conference, he asked Li Ze a question:

"Kayce, have you noticed Green's remarks before the game? You two are also competitors in the DPOY selection this season. How would you evaluate Green's performance?"

Li Ze in the playoffs is always in formal attire, and when he heard such a boring question, he smiled and said:

"Green is the defensive core of the Warriors. It's not easy to play the 6 with a height of 7 feet 4 inches. His defense is underestimated."

"It is a good thing for young players to have self-confidence, and I am also willing to accept challenges!"

The reporter of Yahoo Sports seemed to feel that the news was not hot, and turned the question to the Clippers:

"Griffin's accidental injury doesn't seem to have much impact on the Clippers. Kayce, can you talk about why the Clippers maintain such an efficient offense?"

Thinking of Griffin still lying on the bed during the post-match video call, Li Ze shrugged and said seriously:

"Blake's injury has actually had a great impact on us. Many inside tactics cannot be implemented, and our style of play has become more singular."

"As for why we maintain an efficient offense, it's because none of the opponents we encounter has a strong inside line. The current pace of the league is faster, and high scores don't mean anything."

The Clippers press officer quickly ended the press conference as the questions began to focus on his own team.

The media reporters couldn't get enough of it. In fact, everyone wanted to dig out news about conflicts in the Clippers locker room. Unfortunately, as long as the players who have been with the Clippers in the past two years have been Li Zechuan.

Grant Hill had a championship with the Clippers, and after joining TNT, he completely became Li Zechuan.

"Wake up early for training every day", "Blow up everyone on the training ground", "Leader in the locker room", "Mr. Key on the court", "Natural winner".
When these words came from Grant Hill, the media secretly curled their lips and exaggerated too much. Many media knew that the party between Li Ze and Griffin had not stopped in the past two years.

It's just that everyone is powerless to refute. After all, Grant Hill really stayed in the Clippers for a season, and the stories of those who experienced it are always more convincing.

"We should screen the reporters in the future. These guys always want to make big news. Come on, Kayce, everyone is looking forward to another championship flag flying in the arena."

The operations staff of the Clippers knew that Li Ze didn't have any celebrity airs, so after the press conference, he couldn't help complaining.

"We don't have big mouth players in our locker room, don't worry! We will succeed this year!"

Li Ze and the staff bumped their fists. It is not uncommon for players to complain about their old club after leaving the team. There are also many people who broke the news about gossip in the locker room.

The Clippers have a weak foundation and have a bad reputation in the past, so they pay great attention to this aspect.

Recruiting stars is not an easy task. The Lakers next door are rotten like that. Nick Young still chose to join the Lakers.

On the morning of the 20th, the NBA announced the best defensive lineup for the 14-15 season, which immediately caused quite a bit of controversy.

The five members of the first team are:

Chris Paul, Li Ze, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, DeAndre Jordan.

The five members of the second team are:

John Wall, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis, Andrew Bogut.

After the announcement of the best defensive team, the fans of the Clippers went crazy, three defenses, what is a super team!
The fans of other teams are naturally crazy about Cha Lemon, and you have taken away all the honors!

Such a selection result naturally aroused heated discussions among football critics. Three first defenses are in one team, which reminds people of the Bulls.

Regardless of whether the voting media did it intentionally or not, anyway, the results came out, and the fans started to fight. TNT's programs naturally have to follow suit:

"This is the most outrageous selection I've ever seen. 73 wins doesn't mean everything. I don't think DeAndre Jordan is eligible to enter the defensive team."

Charles Barkley didn't pretend anymore, and he directly sprayed on the show. He has always looked down on the inside line of the Clippers. He basically has nothing good to say about Jordan, a jumper.

"Big men are out of control now. If I were [-] years younger, DeAndre Jordan would have six fouled out at half a game."

O'Neal even sneered at this result, he didn't even like Howard, Jordan?Without any low-level skills, it's just a jumping man with a wide range of skills.

"But the Clippers' defense is really good. In this year's playoffs, most of the time they can limit the opponent's scoring to less than 100 points."

"Last night's game only allowed the Warriors to score 98 points. DeAndre Jordan is definitely the inside core of the Clippers."

Kenny Smith doesn't care much about the results of this award, he values ​​the overall defensive effect of the Clippers more.

"That's because Kayce and Paul were able to squeeze through the screen on the outside, and Matt Barnes also put a lot of effort on the defensive end."

"The Clippers have the most comprehensive backcourt, which makes it much easier to defend the inside! DeAndre Jordan has to do is to protect the basket."

Charles Barkley is still firing on all cylinders, continuing to output, and O'Neal is also helping:
"I agree with Chuck, Stephen Curry went 17 of 8 last night, 5 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, scored 17 points, Klay Thompson scored 14 of 5, 7 of 2 from beyond the arc, scored 16 Points, which can only show that the Clippers' perimeter defense is very good."

"Once switching defenses, DeAndre Jordan will drop points most of the time, and his defensive impact is very small!"

The host Ernie Johnson saw the two criticizing Jordan, shook his head helplessly, and then changed the subject and said:
"Okay guys, everyone has their own judgment criteria in mind, DeAndre - Jordan is a very good player, he is a perfect fit for the Clippers system."

Charles Barkley also calmed down, and complained again facing the camera:
"That's why I hate super teams! They take all the credit!"

"."

The general manager of the Clippers, Gary Sachs, knew that things were going to be bad after seeing the results of such a selection!

In the morning, he received another call from Jordan's agent, who wanted a four-year contract worth $8000 million.

As a result, the two sides broke up again. Although the team owner Steve Ballmer is not short of money, as the team manager, he cannot spend money recklessly, and even needs to save money for the owner.

On average, 2000 million US dollars a year is too much. You must know that Paul's salary next season is only 2147 million, and Li Ze and Griffin are both 1950 million.

All three are All-Stars, so it's no problem to get so much money, but Jordan will never promise to renew his contract with a high salary.

The salaries of the four players add up to more than $4, and the Clippers' luxury tax will explode. From a statistical point of view, the pie front is not worth the high salary.
Thinking of the possibility that Jordan would be taken away during the offseason, Gary Sachs also had a headache:
"Wouldn't someone actually offer a $8000 contract?."

After the selection results came out, Jordan instantly swelled up a lot, with two championship rings and the best defensive team!A champion center deserves a lot of money!

Thinking of the agent's words, Jordan also felt that it made sense. Anyway, Steve Ballmer is so rich, it must be trivial to give him $2000 million a year.

During training in the afternoon, Jordan, who was in a good mood, was immediately hit again. Paul still regarded him as a pie front, and everyone in the Clippers simply congratulated him, and no one cared about it.

Li Ze is still the golden thigh in the team, and Paul also controls the ball. If Jordan wanted to increase the offensive role, he couldn't say it in the end.

Feeling aggrieved, Jordan felt that he could be regarded as the core of the Clippers. The result was that the treatment was similar to that of Reggie Bullock, who had just left Li Ze's kettle caretaker:

"Best defensive team, champion center, I need more respect!"

"."

That night, the Eastern Conference finals also officially started. Before the game, the fools fell to the Eagles one after another. After the game, everyone turned their heads and forgot about these views, and said one after another:

"The playoffs are the stage for superstars!"

At 97:89, the Cavaliers in the away game took the lead and took the initiative in the series.

LeBron James made 26 of 12 free throws, 8 of 7 free throws, scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers. With his own power, he broke the Eagles' defense.

Despite the win, Kyrie Irving suffered knee problems and ended up playing just 27 minutes.

This season, James was plagued by back injuries, Love was reimbursed for the season in the first round of the playoffs, and Irving suffered another knee injury, which made Cavaliers fans break the defense again:

"Cleveland is cursed!"

The Eagles received a lot of ridicule after the game, egalitarianism, team basketball can't go further in the playoffs.

On May 5, G21 of the Western Conference Finals officially started.

More than a day of adjustment time made Steve Kerr a little bit dizzy. It would be a nightmare for the new team to play away first.

Once they lose two games in a row, G3 will turn into a life-and-death battle when they return to the home court. After falling behind by 0:3, it is impossible to come back.

The coaching staff watched the video of G1 repeatedly, and finally found helplessly that the team's defense had been done very well.

Stephen Curry is not an elite defender, and no one on the Clippers, other than Chris Paul, is looking for him to make a big fuss.

至于1号位上的对位,保罗16中8,三分球3中1,罚球4中4,21分3篮板8助攻1抢断1失误,发挥得也是中规中矩。

Falling into the opponent's rhythm is the biggest game problem, but the Warriors' style of play is like this. Players need three-pointers and need to move.

For more than a day, no one in the Warriors was interviewed by the media, and they all followed the coaching staff to replay the game.

Steve Kerr and the coaching staff repeatedly emphasized how to defend Li Ze, and Klay almost got up and complained:

"Is it necessary to emphasize so much things that can't be done at all?"

"Throw it and it's over, if you throw it correctly, you win, if you don't throw it correctly, you lose!"

Iguodala is also a little helpless. As a veteran of the team, he has the most defensive experience. He should have assumed the responsibility of defense, but unfortunately it has no effect after appearing on the field.

Coupled with the fact that the Clippers have always insisted on a single defense and almost divided the game, this made the Warriors feel uncomfortable.

On the night of the 21st, the Staples Arena was still full, and the fans of the Clippers were in high spirits, and everyone liked to watch the abuse game.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Steve Kerr was still a little worried about the team. Standing in front of the whiteboard, he repeatedly urged:
"Be patient after playing. If there is no opportunity for one transmission, immediately conduct the second transmission and the third transmission."

"The ball is faster than people, trust your teammates, find the best offensive opportunities, and cherish every possession of the ball in your hands."

Clay has long been impatient to hear that, tonight he just wants to make a shot and control the rhythm of the game, which is not his job at all.

Stephen Curry nodded with a serious expression. This is his team, and he wants to lead everyone to win.

After Draymond Green played a game in the Western Conference Finals, he suddenly became more honest. Li Ze scored 31 points in 40 minutes. This outrageous performance made him completely understand how superstars play.

If you don't fight in person in the playoffs, you can't feel the powerlessness. Green feels that what he needs to do in this game is to adjust his mentality and don't break the defense easily.
After the players from both sides played, the atmosphere in the Staples Arena became more and more enthusiastic. In the TNT commentary seat, Reggie Miller saw that the Warriors did not change the lineup, and commented in a playful tone:

"Steve seemed a bit conservative. I thought he was going to take Iguodala and put Klay Thompson on Kayce, which is obviously not a good defensive option."

Chris Webber immediately offered a different opinion:

"Iguodala can play more role on the bench. The Warriors should be worried about rebounding. DeAndre Jordan's offensive rebounding ability is very strong. With a small man alone, he may lose more. backboard."

Groom Albert also hopes that the game will be more exciting, and sent blessings to the Warriors before the game:

"The boys need to work harder. If they fall behind 0:2, G3 will be too much pressure for them."

It seems that the blessing of the old man played a role. The Warriors played very aggressively after the opening game. Clay entered the berserk mode, and it was over!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Amidst the defensive cheers of the fans, from left to right, taking advantage of Bogut's delay near the baseline on the right side, Clay quickly bounced outside the three-point line.

The right flank received a pass from Green, held up the ball, and noticed that Li Ze's defense was about to stick up again. Clay dribbled the ball horizontally with his right hand. After a small dribble, facing Li Ze's block, three Quick jump shot from outside the line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

"Shh!"

The goal that was sealed on the face immediately caused a burst of boos from the Clippers fans. Li Ze was also a little surprised, and said jokingly:

"It will end with you, be careful that the coach puts you on the bench!"

Clay, who finally made a three-pointer, was in a good mood. While retreating, he said confidently:

"No one wants to reduce my shooting rights, whether he gets in or not, I just shoot anyway."

The two stood on the left flank and chatted briefly. Steve Kerr on the sidelines turned dark, and what he said before the game fell on deaf ears.
Paul dribbled easily across the half court and immediately gave the ball to Jokic at the free throw line. The latter caught the ball, turned his body immediately, and pretended to pass the ball.

Li Ze, on the left flank, swayed up the line, then sped up and ran back. Jokic boldly sent a base pass.

The advance was made, and Li Ze, who cut in from the left flank, caught the ball with his left hand. Although Clay desperately slid to the right and back, Li Ze easily broke through to the left block.

Bogut, who was on the inside line, was about to block the off-line immediately. Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly stopped, and at the left block position, with his right foot as the axis, he pulled the ball backwards with his back.

Taking advantage of Clay's defense to move back, he quickly turned his body, ignoring the block, and quickly shot a mid-range fadeaway jumper!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was easily scored!

Running back to catch the ball, holding the ball to break through, making an emergency stop and leaning back, the offense was completed within 5 seconds. Seeing Li Ze score easily, Clay's good mood disappeared instantly.

At 13:15, the Clippers led again by 2 points. With 6 minutes and 38 seconds left in the first quarter, the game entered the official timeout.

On the Clippers bench, Reggie Bullock celebrated with a happy high-five with the main team. Although the point difference is small, everyone can see that most of the Warriors' offense relies on personal strong shots.

Everyone has seen this scene a lot. The Heat were more aggressive than the Warriors at the beginning. James made a strong attack and lost in the end.

"Patience, our offensive rhythm is very good, the opponent will make mistakes, all we have to do is seize the opportunity!"

Coach De Nagro is not worried about the team's offense either. The golden thighs are in good condition, and the big deal is to throw them at them. He believes that the Clippers will definitely win in the end.

On the Warriors' bench, Steve Kerr was a little speechless. Clay did attack many times, but he did throw the ball into the basket.

On the contrary, after the opening, Curry was so entangled by Paul that he felt nothing, and his current score is zero.

"Andre, defend the ball with all your strength, move! Everyone move!"

Steve Kerr replaced Harrison Barnes in advance. In this game, he intends to use the strongest tactics and smash the main players.

After returning from the timeout, the Warriors made a baseline kick. Paul's defense was very targeted. From time to time, he would make a sudden grab, and pull two concealedly from an angle that the referee could not see.

These small moves will interfere with Curry's rhythm. After halftime, the top position of the arc will immediately perform a high pick-and-roll with Bogut.

Paul quickly squeezed through the screen, Bogut slid down and took away the defense, but feeling the defensive pressure on his side, Curry still gave the ball to Green on the left wing, and then quickly ran to the left corner .

After receiving the ball, Green moved laterally, and the Warriors followed suit, allowing Clay to bounce to the right flank beyond the three-point line again.

Noticing that Li Ze's pursuit was very close, after receiving the ball, Clay made a breakthrough with his left hand holding the ball. He seemed to feel that he was one position ahead, broke into the paint area, and saw Bogut stuck Jordan in the Immediately behind him, he rushed up in three big strides, picking up the basket with his left hand.

Li Ze did lose his defensive position, but at the moment of Clay's shot, he suddenly exploded. With his extraordinary bullet speed, the second serve came first, and he directly sent the nail plate cap!

The ball bounced off the backboard and quickly fell back to the ground. Li Ze took control of the ball and rushed with the ball.

Green, who was at the top of the arc, retreated immediately, only to find that Li Ze was holding the ball faster and faster.

After a fight in the frontcourt, Li Ze buried his head and rushed straight to the basket. Green was forced to follow up.

The two had physical contact in the paint area and collided at high speed. Green was staggered by Li Ze and completely lost his defensive position.

Without any influence, Li Ze rushed up in three big strides, gliding in the air, catching the ball with his left hand, and successfully dunked with one arm!

The fans in the front row saw Li Ze show off his biceps after completing the dunk, and immediately cheered again.

Green, who was almost on the street, remembered that Li Ze's weight was about the same as him, but he still couldn't help complaining to the referee about this kind of shoulder-opening breakthrough:
"Hey! This is obviously a dribble and a charge, an obvious foul!"

The referee just gestured to him to throw a sideline ball, and ignored his complaints at all. Green cursed angrily, but he had a lemon in his heart. He also wanted a star whistle.
The Clippers actually have a lot of home calls, such as moving screens at certain moments, small moves by Paul, Griffin's support dunks, and Li Ze's shoulder-opening to squeeze through screens and fast breaks.

Experienced teams are too lazy to complain, but the Warriors are a little out of balance.

Curry played big, and facing Jokic's shot, Paul, who was being chased, pushed covertly from his side, and then hit another iron.
The rebound was accepted by Jordan and immediately passed to Li Ze, and the Clippers launched another conversion attack.

The sudden increase in speed interrupted the Warriors' defensive formation, and the ball continued to accelerate with his left hand. Li Ze quickly dribbled across the half court against Iguodala's defense.

Approaching the three-point line, he slowed down slightly, and at the same time quickly moved in and out with his left hand, shaking slightly, Li Ze accelerated again.

Seeing that everyone in the Warriors was about to shrink the basket, Li Ze carried the defense to the left block on the march, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, and then turned around smartly towards the baseline with the ball in his right hand.

Completely get rid of Iguodala's defense, the left side near the bottom line position drifting back jumper shot!

"Oh——!"

"Kayce-Li! Putting on a show tonight!"

The fancy moves ignited the atmosphere in the Staples Arena, and the commentator Groom Albert yelled excitedly.

Iguodala is a little numb. This exaggerated ability to combine the ball with a huge range of motion makes him powerless to defend.

In the next few minutes, Li Ze scored quickly, the Warriors hit the iron, and his side scored +2 consecutively.

Steve Kerr watched anxiously and kept yelling at the side, but the Clippers could always seize the opportunity of this semi-transition, relying on Li Ze's personal ability to score points very quickly .

The Warriors stopped for more than 13 minutes at 2 points, and in the end it was Kelai's mid-range strong shot, which helped the team break the scoring shortage.

Of course, this kind of offense actually destroyed the rhythm of some Warriors, but Clay only had eyes on the basket and didn't pay attention to the situation on the court at all.

After several consecutive conversions, the Clippers fell into a positional offense this time, with Paul and Jordan on the line for high pick-and-rolls, and Lee and Jokic off the line for cross-covering in the three-second zone.

After receiving a pass from Paul in the right block, Green switched to defend behind Li Ze. The moment he caught the ball, he released the ball with his left hand and hit it hard. Green stepped back when he was hit, and then took his right foot as the axis, and suddenly moved backwards. Pull the ball and shake.

Bogut, who was on the line, and Iguodala, who switched to Jokic, all surrounded him at this time.

At the moment when the three of them were about to form a double-team, Li Ze turned around quickly, tapped his left foot twice, and stepped up and down sharply. Under the attack of Iguodala and Green, he came to the bottom right of the basket. Pick the basket successfully!
"squeak!"

The referee immediately whistled Iguodala's defensive foul.

Everyone in the Warriors was stunned. How did the ball get twisted in? Is this movement speed still human?
Steve Kerr stood beside him pinching his waist and shook his head helplessly. He was very familiar with this kind of up and down step.
Li Ze smiled and high-fived his teammates before walking to the free throw line.

On the big screen in the center of the field, the goal just now was still replaying, and the Clippers fans went crazy with joy, and the exclamation and cheers never stopped:

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Amidst the shouts of the fans, Li Ze's extra penalty was hit steadily.

Stephen Curry was anxious and no longer relied on shooting. He began to break through the basket and rely on free throws to help the team continue to score points.

With 1 minute and 1 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze made a strong breakthrough and stood on the free throw line. Taking advantage of the dead ball, Steve Kerr began to rotate the lineup.

For the Clippers, Paul and Jordan have already rested. In the TNT commentary seat, Reggie Miller saw Li Ze made two free throws and said with a smile:
"I've said long ago that the Warriors need to improve their scoring consistency."

"6 of 1, 2 of 2 free throws, and Curry only scored 4 points in the first quarter. The performance of the core players must have failed."

Chris Webber didn't object either, he just said suddenly:
"Jump shots can't win championships. Maybe they should give the ball to the inside instead of taking frequent shots from the outside."

Iguodala also helped the Warriors score points through his singles. Veteran Barnes really couldn't keep up with the opponent.

When the Clippers were attacking, Li Ze held the ball and made an on-line pick-and-roll, marching to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, which attracted the attention of three players.

There is Iguodala chasing behind him, and Green switching up in front of him. Livingston also let go of Barnes in the right corner, and opened his arms to help defend.

Compared with the G1 game, the Warriors' defense was more resolute. At the end of the first quarter, it basically became a three-man siege.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, did not choose to pass the ball immediately. When the three of them approached, he immediately jumped up and passed the ball, and lobbed the ball to Jokic who was running down.

Ezeli, who was near the bottom line on the left, was just about to help defend the basket. The next second, he saw that Jokic did not stop the ball at all. The moment he received the ball, he slapped the ball directly to the right corner.

Barnes received the ball, without any defense around him, adjusted calmly, and then easily shot a jumper!

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

The beautiful pass, coupled with the precise three-pointer, immediately made the Clippers fans cheer loudly.

Coach De Nagro also clapped his hands on the sidelines. This is where the coaching staff likes to use the white fat man. Although the defensive end loses points, the offensive end can easily handle the ball.

If it was Jordan, he would basically be fouled with the defense on his back, and then he would go 2 for 1, and that would be God bless.
At 18:30, with a three-pointer, the point difference came to 12 points.

Veteran Barnes felt good today. He hit a three-pointer for the second time in the game and celebrated with a high-five with Jokic with a smile:

"Brilliant pass! Next time you can try to score yourself."

Fatty Bai also has his own thoughts. His agent told him that Jordan has not yet reached an agreement with the team. This is a good opportunity for him!
"I know you can make threes."

"Back in the middle of the festival and come back to discuss business!"

Li Ze patted Jokic, signaling to defend quickly.
The Clippers' outside firepower came up, and Steve Kerr was also a bit difficult to make a choice at this time. After the first quarter of the game, seeing the score on the field, the Warriors coaching staff felt a little frustrated.

At 22:34, the point difference was still 12 points, and the Clippers did not shut down their offense at the last moment.

The defensive strategy of double-teaming failed, and it is unreliable to expect that the wide open shot will not make a shot.

On the Warriors' bench, Clay curled his lips secretly, talking a lot before the game, but it was his strong shots that really scored.

6中2,三分球3中1,罚球2中2,拿到全队最高的7分。

Clay decided to continue to shoot later, tactics?his shot is tactical
During the intermission, Clay took the initiative to ask to play early, and Steve Kerr, who was not in the dogmatic watch rotation, nodded in agreement.

Livingston, Clay, Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, and Speights formed a circle before their appearance, and finally Livingston said:
"Let's attack, I know Kayce, if you fall behind 0:2, in G3, this guy can play 48 minutes, we have to work hard to win this game!"

"."

Clay was speechless and stopped talking, but just patted his chest, indicating that he would continue to throw it!
In the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans were completely happy, and Li Ze's data was also displayed on the big screen in the center of the venue.

8中7,罚球3中3,17分2篮板2助攻1盖帽。

Li Ze's scoring alone almost caught up with the Warriors' entire team. Even though the Clippers fans often saw it, they were still shocked.

On the Clippers bench, Hawes fell out of the rotation and was naturally depressed. Seeing Paul, Crawford, Tucker, Ingles, and Jordan getting ready to play, he also had the idea of ​​moving around.

Coach De Nagro is indeed ruthless. In the last game, Hawes was too slow on the defensive end and had little effect on the offensive end. After one game, he was directly abandoned.

After his debut, Ingles scored 12 points. Reggie Bullock drank Li Ze's poisonous chicken soup every day, and kept watching the rotation position. As long as he performed slightly worse, he would definitely be the next Hawes.

Tyronn Lu was naturally aware of the unstable situation in the locker room, but when he saw Li Ze leisurely serving Brock chicken soup, he sighed secretly:
"When the time comes, everyone will be gone, and the team will be completely disbanded."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Clay completely entered the state of blind throwing. To the surprise of the Clippers coaching staff, this guy really threw the ball in.

He doesn't care who the defender in front of him is, he comes out of the screen, throws the ball as soon as he catches it, and runs very well without the ball. He keeps cutting into the basket and brings a lot of trouble to the Clippers' defense.

As Clay made a strong shot from the left flank outside the three-point line, the Clippers fans were a little bit overwhelmed:
"Shh!"

At 29:39, the Warriors narrowed the point difference, and Chris Paul clapped his hands. Although the opponent scored 7 points in a row, they still lead, so there is no need to panic.

The position at the top of the arc and Jordan's pick-and-roll, Paul noticed that Iguodala squeezed through strongly, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and suddenly pulled back from the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.

Taking advantage of Iguodala's adjustment of the defensive center of gravity, Paul quickly changed direction forward, took a big step, drifted to the right, leaned sideways, and shot a jumper with a large backward step!

"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily!

With the wind down, Sao Paulo appeared again, scoring points with Clay for several consecutive rounds.

This kind of game rhythm is naturally not what the Warriors expected, but what makes Steve Kerr feel helpless is that, except for Clay, others really can't stand it.

Jordan followed the switchback for several consecutive rounds, and he had a lemon in his heart. Facing Speights, he obviously had a matchup advantage, but it was a pity that Paul gave him cake once in a few consecutive rounds.
Clippers fans like this kind of game the most, the singles look good!

Paul and Klay felt explosive, and the coaches of the two teams did not make personnel rotations. It was not until 4 minutes and 58 seconds left in the second quarter that Li Ze and Curry officially debuted.

The Warriors completely regained their main force, the Clippers let Paul rest, and Crawford stayed on the court.

Just after halftime when Li Ze held the ball, the Warriors changed their defensive strategy again. Curry and Clay rushed directly to Li Ze on the right flank.

Green is in a state of 1 defense and 2 at this time. He must pay attention to Jokic on the free throw line and Crawford at the top of the arc.

After pulling the defense, Li Ze quickly distributed the ball to Crawford, who received the ball, Green immediately helped defend, and Curry also quickly returned to the defense.

Crawford, who received the pass, did not forcefully attack, but gave the ball to Jokic at the free throw line.

With no one guarding him, Fatty Bai caught the ball and dribbled it for two steps, and he made a successful throw in the paint!
If you play more or less, someone will always score easily. Steve Kerr doesn't believe that the second-round pick on the field can keep scoring points, but after 2 minutes, Jokic played more and more presumptuously, and even made a straight down split buckle
Curry was tossed enough on the defensive end. He was 2 for 0 from the three-point line. Seeing that halftime was running out, the point difference turned out to be 14 points, and he was a little anxious.

The offense became more and more simple. The pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and then accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Curry flexibly threw off the chasing Li Ze, and went straight to the basket in the middle.

Feeling that Li Ze from behind was chasing up again, Curry, who was close to the basket, suddenly stopped, and made a fake layup with his right hand, then quickly turned around, and deftly shot with his left hand!

"Snapped!"

Although the first kick was slightly awkward, Li Ze reacted faster. After the super badge responded, he jumped up and slapped the ball away.

"Swatted away!!"

The wonderful block made the commentator Mav Albert instantly raise the volume.

After Crawford took control of the ball, he immediately launched a conversion attack. Li Ze ran without the ball and continued to accelerate.

Seeing Li Ze rushing faster and faster, everyone in the Warriors who returned to defense tried their best.

Noticing that Li Ze had gotten rid of the defense, Crawford threw the ball directly to the basket just after halftime.

When the ball arrives, Li Ze takes off in the paint area, catches the ball in the air, turns the ball from top to bottom, and the windmill dunks successfully!
"Oh!!"

The cheers of the fans came from the ears, everyone in the Warriors was panting, why did they run so fast?

Stephen Curry tried to carry his team's offense, but after hitting a three-pointer, he started to hit the iron again.

Seeing that the long rebound was accepted by Li Ze again, everyone in the Warriors ran wildly and retreated quickly.

After running for several rounds in a row, he also forgot the defensive strategy. On the left flank outside the three-point line, Li Ze keenly noticed that there seemed to be no double-teaming.

Approaching the three-point line, holding the ball in his left hand, he suddenly circled the ball behind his back, quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand. Seeing Li Ze's movement, Clay subconsciously slid backwards to the left.

Clay had just retreated to within the three-point line, Li Ze pulled back in an instant and returned to outside the three-point line, ignoring Clay who jumped up and defended, converted to a three-pointer and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

Steve Kerr turned his head and sat back on the bench. The players on the field were stupefied and had forgotten the basic principles of defense.
In the next round, Bogut made an inside attack on Xiao Qiao and made a single miss. Seeing that Li Ze was about to charge the ball, Clay fouled directly, and then saw the referee pointing to the free throw line.

"Shet!"

Forgetting that the team has reached the state of increasing penalties, Clay cursed secretly, and everyone in the Warriors was also a little confused.

With Li Ze making two free throws steadily, the score on the field became 43:62.

With the last 36 seconds left in the half, Curry's three-pointer hit the iron again. Amid the cheers of the fans, Li Ze took the ball and quickly passed the half.

On the right flank, he noticed that Curry wanted to come over to double-team again. Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated again. On the right sideline, one step away from the three-point line, he stopped suddenly and threw the ball at the buzzer. .

The ball draws a huge arc and finally falls into the basket.

The Clippers fans at the scene raised their hands together with Li Ze and cheered loudly. Everyone in the Warriors has been dumbfounded. Can this also enter?

At 43:65, in the TNT commentary booth, Reggie Miller looked at the 22-point difference and said briskly:

"It's time for Steve to think about returning to the home court! There is no suspense in the game."
