Five hundred and thirtieth seventh chapter paste face(1/2)
In the last three minutes of the first quarter, the attacks on both sides finally opened.
The Clippers changed into the second team, and Griffin came on the court to play with Livingston Odom.
Compared to the previous game, the Trail Blazers are much more conservative. Stotts dare not easily get off the main player, and Lillard Batum and others are still on the court.
Only inside Robin Lopez came off the court and replaced Mo Williams, playing for one, one, four, and hoped to narrow the gap in the last part of the first quarter.
Rivers is obviously more confident, and the rotation is still relatively loose, and Li Liang and Paul get off work on time.
Griffin, on the Clippers, didn't score in the first few minutes, and he didn't even get a phone call.
After resting for a few minutes, Griffin came up and completed a pick-and-roll with Livingston, making a jump shot from the high mid-range jump shot.
On the Trail Blazers, Batum dribble from the outside was intercepted by Odom.
Odom passed the ball to Livingston, and Livingston made a layup and caused a foul by the player returning to defense, and the penalty was added!
However, the Trail Blazers quickly came to their senses, and Stotts replaced Matthews with Ville Patton.
After Patton came on the court, he immediately cut the basket and received the pass from the high position, Ade made a layup.
Then, Crawford broke through and missed a layup with his own ball. The Trail Blazers counterattacked. Verbad twisted his body and dribbled the ball to the basket, and scored a layup with his left hand to get another two points.
Stotts' substitution is indeed a coincidence. Matthews lacks the ability to hit the basket, and his defense is not strong against the Clippers' lineup.
Although Patton is thin, he is very powerful in fighting and fighting.
Relying on Patton, the Trail Blazers stabilized the situation and chased two goals in a row.
At the end of the first quarter, the battle between the two sides reached 25:27.
Lillard made a buzzer-beating layup in the last moment, helping the Trail Blazers to fall behind by only two points.
After the start of the second quarter, Lillard and Aldridge both left the court to rest.
The main control of the Trail Blazers became Mo Williams.
Like on the court, Mo Williams first relied on screen to tie the scores of both sides with a mid-range.
But before the Trail Blazers players could recall the feeling of the draw, the Clippers had already launched a counterattack, and Griffin took the lead, Odom dribbled through the Trail Blazers' defense and passed the ball to Griffin.
Griffin received the ball and rushed to the basket. Under the siege of Batum and Patton, he forced a layup and made two points.
Griffin seemed to be behind a train, and he couldn't hold it even if he was pulled back.
The game between the two sides is generally very civilized and does not have many external moves.
Although the competition is fierce and the action confrontation is relatively expensive, it is relatively clean.
Even Paul was dirty and not obviously dirty, so the overall game was smooth, and the referee's whistle didn't sound much.
In this case, the Clippers and the Trail Blazers fought again.
Although Stotts is not willing to see such a situation, there is no way. The Trail Blazers are in this style. He cannot break this style with defense and confrontation.
In fact, in the entire league, the only one who has the hope of breaking the Clippers' style is the Heat; while the only one who has the ability to keep up with the Clippers' style is the Spurs.
Now the Clippers style has another accelerator, that is Odom.
Odom scored 10 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in the last game, and it can be said that he performed very well.
Rivers is intentionally increasing his playing time, because with him, the Clippers' offensive speed can be continuously increased.
Of course, the problem is that his defense is really not good.
The Trail Blazers also fought back, and Matthews made a layup from the basket.
If Jordan and Li Liang are there, it would be impossible for Matthews to score like this.
However, Odom then tried to misalign Lopez at 45 degrees, dribbling and hit the basket, and a small hook in his right hand hit.
Then, Odom got the backcourt rebound and faced Lopez again in the counterattack, making a small throw from his left hand again!
Odom really felt like he was in this series.
Several offenses and defenses, whether it is a quick push and counterattack or an own attack, they all have the same feeling as they were when they were in the Lakers.
Odom himself has very good talent and qualities, but he really doesn't care about his body.
Since coming to the Clippers, I have received baptism and education from the socialist concept of honor and disgrace by Li Liang, and have learned about the eight honors and eight shames and scientific development. My whole body is getting better and better, and finally bear fruit in the playoffs.
On the Trail Blazers' side, Matthews missed a jump shot from a fallback near the free throw line.
Matthews and Harden had a series of matches and really regarded himself as Kobe.
He used his one-legged stand-up jump shot many times in these two games, but he scored only a handful of goals.
I thought Crawford was so easy to attack against the Clippers?
No matter how bad Crawford's defense is, you shoot in front of him, and he will reach out to interfere with you.
Then Odom passed Griffin again in the counterattack. Griffin hit the basket and made a layup with his right hand, causing Mo Williams to foul.
The Trail Blazers also wanted to continue passing the ball inward to score for Lopez, but Lopez was tall, his explosiveness and finishing ability were really not good, and he was blocked by the basket again - Lopez was blocked by the basket many times in these two games.
It was the Clippers' counterattack again. Odom dribbled the ball and killed the frontcourt by himself, fully demonstrating the dribbling skills of the Magician with his left hand. He dribbled the ball behind him and finally made a layup with his left hand!
The Stamps Center gave Odom the warmest cheer, making Odom feel as if he had returned to 5 years ago, also in Stamps, when he was wearing a purple and gold robe.
The Trail Blazers were suspended, and Stotts did not expect that the Clippers would have the card Odom.
It's good to have more cards in your hand. If you play just one, Stotts feels unable to catch it.
The difference between the two sides is 10 points, but the Trail Blazers still hope that after the main player appears, the Trail Blazers can slowly bite the score and then find opportunities to save the situation.
After all, the Clippers' starting players are really not in good shape tonight, and Paul has scored 2 points so far.
Li Liang, who is in the best condition, thought Stotts, could this guy get 40 points?
Facts have proved that you can’t be lucky when playing games and pin your hope for victory on your opponent’s poor performance. Although there is no way to do so, the final result will be mostly unsatisfactory.
The other Clippers players are in a normal state, such as Paul, who feels really bad at mid-range tonight.
Barnes Jordan Jr.'s offense is not very good, and it is normal to have ups and downs.
But Li Liangxin was crowned MVP and was in very good condition.
In fact, with the help of various runes, Li Liang rarely has bad games.
Li Liang scored 10 points in the first quarter, and after the timeout in the second quarter, Li Liang reappeared. He replaced Crawford and was present at the same time as Griffin Odom.
This is a three-forward lineup, and Rivers may have believed Mike Brown's slander and asked Li Liang to run to the center position to make a guest appearance.
Mike Brown is really unstoppable and insists on Li Liang playing in every position.
Anyway, Robin Lopez was replaced, and Stotts wanted to play in a small lineup and fight for the offense.
So the lineup of the three forwards of the Clippers is not that strange.
Li Liang really hit the center position and defended Ade.
To be honest, when Ade feels good, Li Liang couldn't defend against Ade.
But Aldridge's two games completely lost the style of giving and asking for help in the first round.
The goals were relatively scattered. Although they scored 21 points in the first game, they had no influence on the progress and results of the game.
In the middle of the second quarter, Ade began to lead the Trail Blazers forward again, Li Liang defended one-on-one. Ade turned around and used his strength and wingspan to squeeze the basket and hit the hook.
The cast was beautiful.
Then he turned around and was confused by Li Liang's face.
Ade continued to play singles with the ball at a low post. After repeated back-trial tests, he turned around and straightened his arm to make a backward jump shot. It was very difficult, but it was still a hit!
It seems that Ade's condition is recovering.
Turning back at the top of the arc, Li Liang was confused by three points.
Ade looks a little angry!
The Trail Blazers counterattacked, and Aldridge immediately took a mid-range jump shot after receiving Lillard's pass from the high post!
As a result, the goal was short and Griffin got the backcourt rebound.
Then, Li Liang counterattacked Ade who accelerated and rushed into the inside, and then made a 45-degree emergency stop on the left and made a jump shot.
The feeling that Ade finally accumulated seemed to be hollowed out at once.
Li Liang scored 8 points in a row, and the gap between the two sides was widened again.
Stotts was holding his forehead while on the sidelines. What was going on?
Is the gap between the strength between the two sides so big? Can't even hold on to the half-time game?
The Clippers played against the Mavericks in the first round. At least the Mavericks could still play a difficult-to-solve game with the Clippers in the first half, and even kept entangled until the fourth quarter.
The Trail Blazers obviously couldn't hold on at halftime, and Li Liang couldn't do it in the middle of the second quarter.
This guy's shooting is really accurate and unreasonable. The person who shoots is frightened and his scalp is numb.
Li Liang is not an offensive kaleidoscope, he only has two moves, either shoot a three-pointer from the outside and you make a layup, and I will break through to the inside and stop and jump shot.
As for how you defend me, it has nothing to do with me.
To be continued...
