The fans were packed at the Staples Center that night.

Although the end of the season is approaching, fans' enthusiasm for watching the game remains unabated.

Clippers players are looking forward to victory, and so are Los Angeles fans.

The Clippers' record is still unstable now, and it is possible to be fifth to eighth.

If they play with the Pelicans in the first round of the playoffs, they will have a huge psychological advantage, and the divisional semi-finals and finals are the same.

Even if they can't play, they will be able to become the only team in the double-kill league.

Amid the cheers of fans, the starting players of both sides have been introduced one after another.

The Pelicans said as Stevens said before the game, and Ariza still started.

On the Clippers, Beverly and Redick on the outside, Pierce and Griffin on the front line, and Jordan Jordan on the center.

Davis jumped and beat Jordan Jr. and opened the curtain of the game.

Jokic supported him at a high position, Tang Tian cut into the ball and made a layup, and Pierce directly shrank the double-team on the weak side.

Knowing that Ariza feels bad, the Clippers are very determined to double-team.

Tang Tian, ​​a beautiful man who passed the ball to Ariza without watching people.

Ariza caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Three points hit the frame.

You can't find something like the touch with additional exercises.

Rivers nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines.

Stevens is a little stubborn, so let him seize this point and take the Pelicans in one go!

"The Pelicans should have made changes."

Miller also spoke in the commentary seat.

Ariza's touch is really not good, it will cause great damage to the Pelicans' offense.

Bolling, who was beside him, didn't say anything, but nodded as well.

Stevens said it was right to help Ariza find his condition, but it would definitely be a solution for the whole team to accompany him to find him.

The Clippers' offense, Griffin organized a high position, and a pass to Pierce who cut in.

Pierce flew on the layup, but he was older and his speed was much slower than his peak.

Ariza chased and defended in place, and flew to interfere with the shooting.

Pierce's layup slipped out, and Jokic protected the defensive rebound.

Although the offensive feel is not good, Ariza has a significant role in defensive end.

The Pelicans fought back, and the Clippers retreated and quickly gave no chance.

In the counterattack and positional battle, Tang Tian made new tactical gestures with the ball.

Ariza no longer stayed in the bottom corner and waited, but cut into the inside defense that involved the Clippers.

At the same time, Davis mentioned playing pick-and-roll at a high position, and Tang Tian cut into the basket, double-teamed and passed the ball to Davis.

Davis made a mid-range jump shot, opening the Pelicans' first record.

Griffin broke through with the ball and was beaten by Davis.

The Pelicans fought back, and Tang Tian jumped out of bounds with Beverly in the frontcourt and stuffed the ball from behind to Ariza who followed him.

Ariza flew to the basket and scored his first two points in the game.

Stevens wants Ariza to find form as soon as possible in the game, and so does Tang Tian.

He and Stevens have the same understanding, and Ariza's 3D wing was born for the playoffs.

So after seeing that Ariza feels badly, he made some tactical details adjustments.

This is what he, a privileged player, can do.

Ariza himself is also very successful. If he can't make a shot, he will work harder to defend and make a quick break even harder.

Griffin made a layup with a flying glider and finally scored for the Clippers.

Tang Tian’s emergency stop was to return to his color.

Looking back, Griffin took Pierce's mid-range jump shot and made a goal.

The first move was covered without affecting his mentality, and he was in a good condition tonight.

4-6, the Clippers started with the Pelicans in a stalemate.

The Pelicans played a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt, and Jokic made a fake shot with his left hand to the empty-cut Tang Tian. Tang Tian saw Griffin assisting in defense and throwing the empty-handed ball.

Davis jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket through Griffin.

The sidelines were restless.

When Paul was there, the Clippers were called the city of air contact. Now that Paul is gone, is he being picked up by air contact?

Fans can't tolerate it, and Griffin can't tolerate it either.

After he arrived at the frontcourt, he directly held the ball and drilled Davis hard on the low post.

Davis is very hard, but Griffin is also very smart.

He turned around with a fake turn, pushed Davis away with a small movement in the place where the referee could not see it, and then soared into the air.

Paul left him and became the boss of the team.

If someone buckles his head, he will buckle it back.

Shiba Inu's way of thinking is that simple.

And he really wants to do it.

"Bang!"

But just as he was about to depress, he felt a lighter in his hand.

Ariza didn't know when he would shrink the basket and seized the opportunity and slapped the ball off his hand!

This time he caught off guard and he had no ability to get the ball back in the air.

After Ariza controlled the ball, he immediately gave Tang Tian. The Pelicans fought back. This time, Tang Tian drove straight in and squeezed Beverly to complete a dunk of 2+1!

Tang Tian hit a boo and got a punishment.

9 to 4.

This round is very critical.

Stevens nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, he was not that concerned about Ariza's shots, he was concerned about defense.

In the first two games, Ariza not only found his offense but also had some disfigurement.

But now it seems that he has recovered it.

Extra training may not necessarily help you regain your feel, but it will definitely improve your state!

Alibaba played for 8 minutes in this quarter, took three shots, two three-point line and one fast break, 1 of 3 shots, and only scored 2 points.

But he also contributed 2 steals and 1 block, limiting Pierce on the opposite side without a single point.

His state also played a positive role in the situation on the Pelicans. After the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Clippers 31-22.

Such a performance also allowed Stevens to continue to maintain trust in him, and he and Davis were put on the court at the beginning of the second quarter.

This is to seize the opportunity to continue to expand the lead.

Reeves Jr. failed to make the first three-pointer, McGee protected and gave the defensive rebound to Dinwiddie, and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.

During the counterattack, Dinwiddie saw Ariza following up and passed the ball directly.

Ariza caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Swish!"

He didn't seize the first two outside three-pointers, but he seized the third time!

This is also his first three-pointer after his comeback!

This goal made him a little excited, and after scoring the goal, he waved his hand and roared for a while.

Little Reeves retreated and frowned when he saw Ariza's celebration.

Ariza's previous verbal fight on Twitter made him very depressed.

In the frontcourt position battle of the Clippers, Reeves Jr. broke through with Johnson's pick-and-roll.

Ariza's heel was very stable when the ball was replaced by defense, and when Reeves was about to make a layup, he hugged the ball.

This is a very decisive and wise choice.

Reeves couldn't get strong, and he held the ball with Ariza and exerted force together.

The referee quickly whistled, indicating that it was a scramble.

The referee's whistle had already sounded, but Reeves seemed very unhappy. After throwing the ball over, he kept chattering at Ariza.

When the referee saw the whistle that was about to blow the warning, Ariza, who was originally calm, suddenly burst out and pushed Little Reeves hard, and punched him directly the next second!
Chapter completed!
