NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

"damn it!"

Seeing the relaxed look on Lin Lei's face, Paul slapped the bench beside him with an angry slap, and his anger had nowhere to vent.

What's worse is that the Clippers have been unable to open their tactics due to the lack of him as a key player to conduct the ball, and they have fallen behind by 12 points in less than 5 minutes after the start of the second quarter.

Seeing that the team points difference is getting bigger and bigger, the head coach of the Clippers was forced to call a timeout and began to discuss new tactics.

Glancing at the players on the field, the coach shook his head, obviously without Paul, no one seemed to be able to dominate the ball.

On the other hand, the Lakers on the other side replaced the core Kobe before the last serve, and Lin Lei completed the domination of the entire team.

Seeing that his morale was low, the Clippers head coach had to make a very bold decision:

"Griffin, it's up to you to keep Jordan on the inside, and the ball is transmitted in Griffin's hand "027".

If there is a chance, help other teammates to complete the scoring, if there is no chance, the teammates will open up the space and let Griffin complete the scoring with his personal ability!

You have only one goal, you must keep the score as it is before the end of the 2nd quarter, and you must not be stretched!"

Hearing the coach's instructions, the Clippers had to temporarily adjust their state and act according to his plan.

As the number one pick in the league, Griffin can beat Durant and others, and it can be seen that his strength is still very good.

However, as the dominant player of the team, he seems to be a little unfamiliar. Thanks to Paul's teaching these days, he has also made some breakthroughs in dribbling and team vision.

Lin Lei saw that the Clippers suddenly changed formation and let Griffin hold the ball, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had already figured out the intention of the other coach.

"It's a dream to have Griffin play with the ball!

A plan is also born in Lin Lei's mind...

In the next attack, Griffin stood near the center line and passed the ball to the team's defender, then went inside, received the pass in the air, and attempted a dunk from a jump.

But at this moment, the Lakers also killed a figure near the bottom line to this side, and rushed over to meet Griffin's takeoff.

After the two met in the air, Griffin's hand did not hit the basket, and the basketball was actually shot down!

The players on both sides were shocked by the duo standing in the air. After the basketball landed, they even forgot to fight for it, and it was none other than the Lakers core Lin Lei who completed the block.

Who would have thought that Lin Lei completely blocked Griffin with his own strength in the first attack that came back from the suspension.

Odom reacted at this time, quickly grabbed the ball, and led the Lakers to complete a fast break.

"This, how is this possible!""

Seeing this picture, the audience at the scene was dumbfounded, and even the commentary expressed disbelief.

"Griffin jumps so high, and he has already done all the movements. With his physical fitness, how strong is he going to pull down with all his strength?"

"Yes, Lin Lei seems to be jumping a little higher than Griffin, and their heads are already over the basket.

It's such a dunk, but Lin Lei firmly pressed it down, and he can be selected for the top 50 blocked shots in the NBA!"

With the end of the block, Griffin was stunned.

And the momentum of the Clippers was completely disrupted, and the rest of the second quarter became a unique show for the Lakers.

By the end of the first half, the score was 48:31.

In the entire second quarter, the Clippers only scored 10 points since Paul was forced off the court because of a foul.

The City of Air Pickup was misfired again, as if it had returned to the fish belly state of last season.

As the core of the team, Griffin, in addition to the completion of the dunk on Gasol, never had a chance to dunk, and only had 10 points and 5 rebounds in the first half.

In contrast to the Lakers, Lin Lei scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and even completed three steals against Griffin in the second quarter.

In particular, the video of him facing Griffin's dunks and completing the block cap was also played in a loop during the halftime break, attracting the attention of the audience.

Recalling Griffin's constant rhetoric before the game, it is also embarrassing to be slapped in the face now.

In the third quarter, Lin Lei did not appear at all, but Kobe Bryant led a group of players to play back and forth with Paul and others.

After the previous adjustment, the Lakers' insiders Gasol and Bynum have also been able to adapt to Griffin's style of play. Although they were dunked again in the middle, the overall defensive effect was very good.

Although Griffin has great physical fitness, his mid-range and other skills have yet to be honed, which are Gasol's strengths.

By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides had reached 73:57, and the Lakers had a huge lead of 16 points.

Unsurprisingly, verse 4 is basically garbage time.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson did not arrange for Lin Lei and Bryant to appear, but let Artest and Lamar Odom play as soon as possible to find the state.

After these days of adjustment, although Odom's state has recovered a lot, it is still far from his peak level last year.

Next, there will be a lot of tyrants, and they must be given time to recover to their peak.

Phil Jackson's move can be described as very bold, but also very risky.

According to common sense, even if the lead in the fourth quarter starts by more than ten points, the team's head coach will arrange for the main force to appear.

Until there are 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, if there is still a huge advantage of more than ten points, the main players will be replaced in turns. This is the safest.

But Phil Jackson also knew that the players would be very slack on the court, and they would only concentrate on putting these players on the court in the first half.

Facts have proved that Phil Jackson's judgment is also extremely correct. At the beginning, Odom and others played fairly well, and the score came to 85:71.

There are less than 8 minutes left, and usually the game is close to garbage time, and the Clippers should give up their resistance.

But then Paul went straight to the head coach of the Clippers and didn't know what to say to him.

The head coach thought for a moment, and finally nodded. After calling a timeout, he sent all Paul and Griffin to the court.

Now everyone understands that Paul decided to fight back at the last minute, which is why he never gave up his respectability.

As soon as Paul came on the court, he broke through the Lakers' defensive player with an acceleration, went directly to the outside of the three-point line, and used the three-point shooting method he was not good at to complete the team's first attack. The team's counter 5.9 hits blew the horn.

Then he succeeded in stealing from Odom's hands, assisting Griffin to complete the dunk.

All of this came so fast, who would have thought that the Clippers would chase 5 points in half a minute, and the Lakers had only 9 points left...

But even so, the Lakers coach Phil Jackson still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, and there is no nervousness in his expression.

The reason is also very simple, he still has two ace cards, Lin Lei and Kobe, which he did not use.

"Even if you are tied, I'm not afraid...

Phil Jackson said silently in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, Paul made another steal, went to the basket, and took off against Artest's defense.

"Bt......""

Amid the exclamations, Chris Paul, who was in his early 1.8 meters, actually completed a dunk!
