Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 198

"Boys, we performed very well in the first half, but I hope that everyone can strengthen the outside offense in the next game, and strive to determine the winner or loser of the game at the end of the third quarter." Mike Brown for The team's performance in the first half was very satisfactory.

"Mr. Brown, there is no problem at all. With our strength, we can easily do this, but I don't know if there is any reward?" Lin Fengzhe, who was lying on the bench and receiving a massage from the team's masseur, asked.

"As long as you can beat your opponent by [-] points in the third quarter, I will save you all the training before the next game, how about this? This reward is enough." Phil Jackson said, and then looked at Mike Brown asked, "Mike, is that okay?"

Mike Brown smiled and nodded, "No problem, if we can really do this, we can continue to beat them in the second game even without training." Of course Mike Brown has no objection, besides, if we don't If there is an accident, he will step aside to become the team's assistant coach next season, and Phil Jackson will officially return to the team's coach.But Mike Brown is also happy with this. Anyway, his salary will not change. He has no problem with doing the much easier assistant coach's job with the head coach's salary.

"We performed very well on the offensive end, but our defense was very poor, especially for the defense of the Lakers' inside players. The defense in the second half must be targeted, but at the same time, we must also be careful of the opponent's outside attack. You must know that Kobe Bryant and others did not play much in the first half." Vinny Negro said, "Chris, Jamal , In the second half, I hope you can strengthen your individual offense, we need to score."

"Hello, audience friends, here is the Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers of the same city that will be broadcast live for you." Jeff Van Gundy said to the camera.

"The second half of the game is about to start, and players from both sides have already started playing." Mike Breen said, "Oh! The Clippers actually made a change to the starting lineup in the second half. Jamal Crawford replaced Germany. With Andre Jordan starting, it looks like the Clippers are going to step up their offense."

The game started in the second half, and the first offense belonged to the Clippers.Chris Paul dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt, he dribbled through and then made a stop jump shot and scored two points, narrowing the point difference to less than five points.Chris Paul chose to attack as soon as he came on the court, which kicked off the Clippers' counterattack.

However, not only the Clippers kicked off their own counterattack, but the Lakers also started their own offensive drama.Steve Nash drives the ball forward and passes the basketball to Kobe Bryant from beyond the three-point line.After receiving the pass, Kobe Bryant feinted and turned past Caron Butler and went straight to the inside of the Clippers.

Facing his former teammate Lamar Odom is also relentless, coupled with years of teammate career, he is very familiar with Kobe Bryant's offensive routines.Kobe Bryant saw that his offensive opportunity was not good, so he prepared to throw the basketball to the backboard to assist Li Yifeng to score an alley-oop.

"Here!" At this moment, a loud roar came, but it was Lin Fengzhe who had a gap outside the three-point line.Kobe Bryant immediately threw the basketball player over.After Lin Fengzhe received the pass, he directly made a three-pointer without making any adjustments. The basketball made a hollow hit, and the point difference was once again pulled beyond five points. The Lakers led by seven points.

Chris Paul drives past Steve Nash to pass to Lamar Odom, faces Pau Gasol, catches and passes, and passes the ball to Jamal Crowe on a cut Ford made a layup.Just when the basketball left Jamal Crawford's hands, a huge shadow rose from behind Jamal Crawford.

Li Yifeng let go of the defense against Blake Griffin, rushed back, and directly pressed Jamal Crawford's layup on the backboard from behind, and then took off and landed the basketball for the second time, turned over and passed Get off Steve Nash.

Chris Paul is hot on the heels of Steve Nash.After all, he was almost 40 years old, and Steve Nash was not as fast as Chris Paul, so he was quickly caught up by Chris Paul.However, Steve Nash did not score towards himself, but hit the basketball to the ground and passed it back. Lin Fengzhe, who followed up, received a pass from Steve Nash, raised it high, and his whole body seemed to be tense With a big bow, a powerful tomahawk dunk completed the fast break.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Lin Fengzhe scored five points in a row, helping the Lakers widen the point difference to nine points.

The Clippers countered quickly, with Lamar Odom receiving a pass from Caron Butler and passing inside for a Blake Griffin alley-oop dunk that slipped to the basket.

Kobe Bryant asked for the ball in the front court, and faced Caron Butler's defense with a step outside the three-point line. After continuous dribbles, he suddenly pulled up and made a long-range three-point shot. The basketball flew across the sky erratically Hit the board into the basket.Caron Butler did not expect Kobe Bryant to shoot directly from a distance of nearly one meter from the three-point line. He put most of his attention on defending Kobe Bryant's breakthrough.

With Kobe Bryant's long three-pointer, the point difference was widened to ten.Less than three minutes into the second half, Clippers coach Vinny Negro called a timeout.

"The Clippers started an offensive battle with the Lakers at the beginning of the second half, but the effect was not very satisfactory. The point difference has now been widened to double digits." Mike Breen said.

"I think the audience will definitely like this kind of offensive game." Mark Jackson said, "If it is a defensive basketball like the San Antonio Spurs, the audience will definitely not be interested, and the audience will not be interested. David Stern Definitely not happy."

"What the Clippers have to do is not to compete with the Lakers on offense. Now they should start on defense. The Lakers obviously want to further increase the score. Although the Clippers' offensive ability in the league is also ranked first In the forefront, but compared with the Lakers, there is still a certain gap." Jeff Van Gundy said, after all, when he was a coach, he was good at defense, but his defense is yours and I can't get high scores. High score, but my score is a little bit higher than yours.

The Clippers who came back from a timeout still haven’t made much defensive achievements. Coach Vinny Negro just emphasized that the team should make reasonable choices on the offensive end. The Lakers played a fast break.

It turns out Jeff Van Gundy was right.The Clippers and the Lakers are at a disadvantage because the Lakers have done a good job on the defensive end while maintaining an efficient offense, limiting Lamar Odom and Blake Griffin in the paint. After that, the defensive pressure on the Clippers' offense on the outside gradually increased.

The Lakers went crazy in the third quarter, especially Lin Fengzhe and Kobe Bryant, who scored 32 points together, and the Lakers scored 42 points in the third quarter.The Clippers scored 20 points in the third quarter on individual plays from Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford. Caron Butler made 26-for-22 from the field, Blake Griffin made 100-for-78 and Lamar Odom made [-] of [-] shots, the team scored [-] points, lost to the Lakers by [-] points in a single quarter, and the total score difference was widened to [-] points.The Clippers trailed by a score of [-] to [-].

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers had deployed their second team, and all the main starters sat off the court to rest. Lin Fengzhe and Kobe Bryant, who broke out in the third quarter, sat happily chatting and spanking off the court.

The Clippers are not so relaxed anymore. All the main players remain on the court. There is only one thing they have to do now, and that is to chase points crazily.As for whether they can come back after chasing or not, it depends on whether they can defend well while ensuring offensive efficiency.

The Clippers attack, Jamal Crawford catches the ball outside, Blake Griffin comes up and sets a pick and roll for Jamal Crawford.Jamal Crawford broke through with the ball, faced Josh McRoberts' defense, and threw the basketball high. DeAndre Jordan under the basket ran two steps and jumped high. When you reach the basketball above you, you have to slam it over the basket and press it.

Just as DeAndre Jordan jumped up, Yao Ming also rushed over. Yao Ming jumped up from the side and stretched his left arm to cover the basketball in DeAndre Jordan's hand.Yao Ming's big hand was on the basketball, and DeAndre Jordan used his arms again, trying to dunk the ball against Yao Ming's defense, but Yao Ming was not a vegetarian either. Lie Jordan took the ball and pressed it down.

"Yao Ming's big hat! It's really wonderful! It directly blocked DeAndre Jordan with a dribble!" Jeff Van Gundy shouted excitedly looking at his former disciple.

DeAndre Jordan, who staggered to the ground, looked at Yao Ming with a different look after standing still, "Is this a retired player?! This is simply perverted! Much more perverted than Dwight Howard!" Yao Ming's violence The block hit DeAndre Jordan's confidence hard.

Although the Clippers are trying to chase points, the Lakers' second team is quite strong, Tracy McGrady, World Peace have wonderful performances, and even Steve Blake hit two threes Divide the ball.More than six minutes into the fourth quarter, the Clippers are still 21 points behind. It can be said that the Clippers are in a hurry, and there is little hope of a comeback.
