I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 335 Combined Score of 42 Points (Sixth)
Opportunities are always fleeting in this place in the NBA.

For talented players, opportunities abound and abound.

For example, Oden has been injured one after another, but because of his potential, the Blazers are still willing to give him a chance.

For example, some well-known veterans do not play well in one place, and other teams are often willing to give them a chance because they want to move the tree and move the dead.

The further you go, the fewer opportunities you have and the harder it is to seize.

For players struggling on the fringes of the team.

Every minute and every second of being on stage counts.

Especially some coaches with strict personalities will give you 1 minute of playing time.

If you go up and make a foul and make a mistake, it's OK for you to come down.

This man's NBA career may be over.

This 1 minute is all the playing time of his entire NBA career.

A foul, a turnover, is all his statistics.

And to get such 1 minute of playing time, this player is already one of the best players in the world.

Some players seized the opportunity, such as the Rockets inside Chuck Hayes.

In the case of the Rockets' shortage of insiders, they signed a ten-day short contract to fight the fire.

He seized the opportunity to play an outstanding performance on the court and has since gained a foothold in the league.

Just such an inconspicuous insider like a potato, a player who won opportunities with a short contract.

Before entering the NBA, he played for Kentucky, a prestigious school. He never missed a game in four years, ranking 35th in scoring and seventh in rebounding.

Earlier in high school with a smaller stage, he averaged 26 points, 19 rebounds and 7 assists per game as a sophomore, leading the school basketball team to 35 wins and 2 losses. He is a well-deserved state basketball superstar.

"Any NBA player is Michael Jordan in their story" is not a joke.

The same is obviously true of Danny Green, who was a McDonald's All-Star in high school and a double star in football and basketball.

He even graduated from the prestigious North Carolina University, and won the NCAA championship with the school in 2009!
Such a player with a bright resume has to be displaced in the NBA, almost without a ball to play, which is enough to show the cruelty of this game.

This time, Green finally had a very good opportunity. After experiencing ups and downs and baptisms, he must seize the opportunity.

After playing, Green didn't think much about anything else. He shot the ball whenever he got the ball in the offense. If he didn't have a chance, he immediately handed it over to James and let James handle the ball.

On the defensive end, it is to keep a close eye on Harden and not give Harden a chance to easily break through the defense.

His marking is jellybean style, whether Harden has the ball in his hand or not, Green will stick to it.

He only has Harden in his eyes. On the court, Harden is closer than his girlfriend, and wants to be closer than his girlfriend.

This disturbed Harden a little. Because of his relatively large size, Harden is not as sensitive as Curry in dribbling.

It's not as oily as Baron Davis, who will squeeze the space with his back.

Harden's experience is not enough, and he is obviously not used to this sudden defense of jelly candy.

After Green came on the field, Harden made two mistakes in a row, and the Cavaliers counterattacked.

James hit the basket happily and dunked successfully.

In a short period of time, the Cavaliers opened up the point difference again.

And the Clippers want to use one big and four small to open up space, but the opponent is also one big and four small.

Defense is man-to-man, the more you expand the space, the more I defend.

At this time, it is an opportunity to single out the best players one-on-one.

In Cole's view, if this situation is given to Jordan, he can beat his opponent's ass.

But Harden held the ball, was made uncomfortable by Green, and passed the ball to Curry. Curry also fell into the dilemma of one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, and it was difficult to get rid of.

These two little guys are still too young, how can a second-year rookie be compared with Jordan?

Under normal circumstances, the defensive strength can exert 120% of the energy. Once the defensive strength rises and the referee does not give a whistle, it may only be able to exert 70% of the energy.

Fortunately, the two offensive balls were given to Milicic on the inside, and Milicic still has an offensive hand at any rate.

The hook after turning around and the forced layup both scored points, helping the Clippers to bite the score.

But Milicic's inside scoring is unsustainable, and he can only do it piecemeal once or twice.

Continuing to give him the ball can only be a waste of opportunities and make the team's offense unable to function.

Dunleavy looked a little anxious and wanted to call a timeout to adjust.

Cole hurriedly said: "Mike, let the players adjust themselves."

Having said that, Dunleavy held back and let the players figure out a way for themselves.

But Harden was obviously a little impatient, and broke through after receiving the ball and knocked down Danny Green.

The referee blew Harden's offensive foul. Harden was helpless and threw the ball to the referee and shook his head again and again.

Dun Levy yelled at him: "Steady your mind boy! Use your brain to find a way!"

What can I do?

James broke through and gave the ball to Danny Green on the outside.

Green made a three-pointer and hit!
After making an offensive foul, Green then hit a three-pointer!
This is his highlight moment, after hitting this three-pointer.

Green is sure that he can survive in the NBA.

Tanhuaxiu is nothing more than that. Although I am not as good as him, it does not mean that I am at the mercy of others.

Harden couldn't open this point, and the offensive pressure of the first and fourth juniors fell on Curry's shoulders.

Curry received the ball, used Milicic's pick-and-roll screen to get rid of the defense, and went straight to the basket.

There was no chance after a circle, the ball was passed to Harden, Harden received the ball, and Green was still in front of him.

Harden dribbled the ball continuously, this time he chose to take a forced step-back mid-range jumper and missed.

Min Congda looked at it and thought: "No, this lineup has no offensive rhythm at all. Tucker's offensive effect is too small, and the defensive end can't exert force. This is a failed match. Cole, stop, or you will die worse."

But Cole was so stubborn that he still didn't call a timeout. As a result, James rushed with the ball again.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides came to 87:75, and the Cavaliers led the Clippers by 12 points!

Dunleavy really couldn't stand it anymore. As the head coach, he still had the right to make decisions and called a long timeout.

The Clippers' young man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was chased and beaten on defense just now, and he didn't feel any offense at all.

The beating was messed up, as if he was being tortured. Cole's set of one big and four small was not successful.

The offensive end relies too much on Harden and Curry. Although they are excellent, they are not enough to fully support a high-intensity offensive and defensive lineup.

Especially with James on the opposite side, and especially targeted defense against Harden.

Dunleavy replaced the main players again, Randolph, Gasol Jr., and Baron Davis.

But the Clippers have lost the rhythm of the game, morale is a bit low, and the players are not in good shape.

Originally, if the first and fourth juniors played the role of surprise soldiers and turned the situation around in one wave, there would still be a chance to play this game.

As a result, it was predicted!It was suppressed by a surprise soldier of the knight!Then it's over.

Cole shook his head again and again, thinking: "Since when did Mike Brown be so predictable, he actually put up a first and fourth junior for my first and fourth juniors, it's amazing."

The regular season is often an encounter, not as targeted as the playoffs. Often everyone plays their own way, fighting for status and luck.

Cole was quite surprised to be targeted suddenly in such tactics and matchups, thinking that Brown hadn't been so clever before.

Before he could think about it, at the end of the third quarter, the Clippers were still about 10 points behind.

By the fourth quarter, the Clippers had no momentum to fight for victory, so they let the fourth quarter finish slowly.

The Cavaliers James played better and scored a game-high 40 points unstoppably. In the fourth quarter, he helped the Cavaliers maintain their advantage. The Cavaliers easily defeated the Clippers 110:99.

They ended the Clippers' 12-game winning streak, and the Cavaliers' own ranking rose to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

When leaving the field at the end of the game, Min Congda did not forget to ask Paul George, "George! How many points did you score tonight?"

George smiled awkwardly, and said embarrassedly: "James and I scored 42 points together."
