Chapter 136 Los Angeles Derby (2)
"drop!"
With a whistle, at the beginning of the game, the Clippers successfully jumped the ball and directly let Jordan, the inside player play singles. However, this guy seemed to be unable to understand Pekovic's tricks. After receiving Paul's pass, he actually wanted to go into the inside player to dunk directly. However, Pekovic's tonnage is indeed very comparable. After a card-main position, Jordan did not squeeze out the opponent, and was even called an offensive foul by the referee.
At the beginning of the game, both sides had already made a fuss on the inside, which was similar to some pre-match commentators' estimates. Jordan Jr.'s 2.11 meters tall and 265 pounds are definitely a huge figure in the inside. Although Pekovic is a little less weight than him, his consciousness in the three-second zone is undoubtedly much better than Jordan Jr. Moreover, the Big White Bears play hard and not bully the weak and fear the strong like some league insiders, and can still play a great role in dealing with Jordan Jr.
However, even with the Big White Bears, the Lakers still suffer a little when they are against the Clippers. After all, with Griffin on the court, forming a double tower with Jordan Jr., he has more advantages than the Lakers in terms of offense, defense, and even rebounding protection. However, during this period, George Hill's mid-range shooting has been used more in the tactical system, so Griffin has been wandering around the free throw line much longer than before.
As for other positions, small forward Brewer is undoubtedly a guy with very strong mobility. Although Jared Dudley of the Clippers is pretty good, he is still a bit reluctant to serve as the starting lineup, so there is no need to worry about this position. As for SG Redick and Xavier Henry are both half-pound and eight taels, many fans here may laugh at me, saying that Redick is better than Xavier Henry, who plays soy sauce. After all, this guy has a terrifying three-point shooting percentage and fast speed. As a pure pitcher, he really can't find many shortcomings.
But it is precisely because Redick is a pitcher that his physical fitness can only be considered average, while Xavier Henry is slightly better than his opponent in this regard, not to mention that this guy played well in the previous few games. Even though he has the credit of Winnie the Pooh, his own efforts are worthy of recognition.
Obviously, the biggest highlight of this game is the peak duel between Winnie the Pooh and Chris Paul. These two people, one has long been firmly in the league's first control, and the other has also become the most talented No. 1 player in the NBA. The battle between these two is undoubtedly the most attractive. So, from the beginning of the game, everyone's attention was focused on the two, and they wanted to see who could laugh to the end of the Los Angeles Derby.
With Jordan Jr.'s poor progress, the Lakers also quickly launched a counterattack. However, unlike playing against the Jazz, the Lakers' offense was indeed very smooth under the leadership of Winnie the Pooh, but it depends on who the opponent is. Now the Clippers' defense has improved a lot after Rivers comes, so when the Lakers run wildly, it is not as crazy as they imagined. If we explain it in another way, it is like the Clippers are stuck in the throat of the Purple Gold Legion. It is extremely uncomfortable.
Luo Yun looked at Paul in front of him. After the continuous fake moves, he did not deceive his opponent. Chris was different from other point guards. Luo Yun naturally knew this. So when he couldn't get rid of it one after another, he began to pull the ball to George Hill who was at the top of the three-point arc. Seeing this, the Lakers fans at the scene couldn't help but miss Gasol, a power forward who was also standing at a high position. Gasol's support ability is ranked number one in the league, but George Hill!
This guy can only be a mascot at the top of the arc.
Fortunately, Scott had made many tactical arrangements before, for example, now, the Lakers have four players on the outside, Winnie the Pooh brought the ball to the frontcourt, blocked by Paul and knocked the ball to George Hill, who pulled it out, and Brewer, who was ambushed on the left side of the three-point line, is ready to catch the ball and break into the basket. On the other side, Xavier Henry and Redick fight at the bottom corner of the three-pointer on the right, while Pekovic and Jordan Jr. roll at the basket.
Obviously, the Lakers pulled the front very wide, which was quite beneficial to the Purple and Gold Army. So, when Jordan Hill stood at the top of the arc and brought the ball to Brewer, the Lakers' offense finally began.
Brewer received the ball, then quickly started to break through the basket from the left. At this time, Jared Dudley from the Clippers was obviously a little difficult to defend Brewer. Fortunately, Griffin, who had been roaming near the free throw line, made up in time. When Brewer saw it, he thought that I would have received this treatment at any time. Looking at the two people in front of him, Brewer tried it but failed and threw the ball behind him. At this time, Luo Yun had to do it. He would not slap the swollen face and pretend to be fat.
At this moment, when Brewer passed the ball back, Luo Yun cooperated with George Hill, and Paul was keeping guard against Luo Yun. After the little guy started, George Hill, who was standing at the top of the arc, quickly inserted and blocked Paul to cover Luo Yun. After a very quick conversion, Luo Yun successfully got the ball again.
After reaching the top of the arc, Luo Yun did not get rid of Paul at the first time. Chris stared very tightly. Even with Jordan Hill, a big man, interfering on the side, it was still not affected. At the same time, Luo Yun quickly took a step back and opened a gap with Paul. After all, Chris's marking was too fierce, and his hand was almost touching his face.
Fortunately, Luo Yun was very fast. Seeing Jordan Hill running over again, he immediately rushed from Paul's right side. This time, Jordan Hill also successfully stopped Paul and asked Luo Yun to take the opportunity to kill him in.
However, even after passing Paul, Luo Yun was still not optimistic. Before the game, the Clippers had already issued a death order and had to defend Winnie the Pooh. So when Luo Yun was about to approach the free throw line, Griffin immediately posted it up and formed a forward and back attack with Paul who stood up and returned to defend, wanting to push Luo Yun to death on the floor.
It is rare to be able to be attacked by the two superstars of the Clippers, even if it is included in the entire league.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the fans at the scene began to get nervous. At this time, Luo Yun quickly braked and then jumped, and his whole body leaned back instantly. It seemed that he was preparing to do it alone.
Winnie the Pooh's shooting percentage in the middle distance is notoriously accurate, and this point has been compared with the answer. It can be said that Luo Yun is definitely outstanding after accelerating the emergency stop jump shot, so Griffin did not dare to be careless. Seeing Luo Yun jumping, he almost rushed up the first time, preparing to teach this Los Angeles upstart a tragic lesson.
However, at this moment, Luo Yun suddenly shrank his hand and threw the ball into the inside line under Griffin's nose, which was astonishingly fast.
There was another uproar in the scene!
"Damn, liar!"
Griffin's eyes were green at this time, but he didn't intend to get involved with Luo Yun. After braked, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the inside line. At this time, Pekovic, who got the ball, also pushed Jordan Jr., and wanted to jump and make a layup, but Griffin followed in again, so he sent the ball with both hands and gave it to Jordan Hill, who turned around under the basket after finishing the pick-and-roll for Luo Yun!
"Swish!"
A beautiful layup was born, and Jordan Hill, as the finisher, also scored the first two-pointer for the Lakers in this game. The fans at the scene naturally cheered again, but in the eyes of most senior fans, the Lakers were not as outstanding as they imagined. Although they have always taken the initiative, the Clippers' strong defensive consciousness was something they had never expected.
Can such a Clippers endure the decline of the Lakers scoring randomly on their heads? This is obviously impossible.
So, in the next moment, the Clippers' counterattack began.
Paul was still dribbling quickly to the frontcourt. At this time, Luo Yun followed step by step and did not dare to make any mistakes. On the other hand, Paul did not intend to entangle with Luo Yun face to face, but he kept holding the ball and heading to the bottom line with Luo Yun. Xavier Henry also stepped in and prepared to assist in defense, but Paul's pass was too sensible. He actually gave the ball to Redick, who had just arrived at the bottom line on the left, from a strange angle.
"Three-pointer!"
With the chanting of the commentator on the scene, JJ Redick took action directly after receiving Paul's pass. Even if Xavier Henry got up and returned to defense at the first time, it would be useless. He could only watch the basketball pass over his head and shoot the basket.
"Bang!"
The harsh ironclad sound of the ironclad resounded at the Chessips Center, and the fans cheered again. Pekovic, who was standing at the basket, was ready to take action to pull the ball into his arms. Even Jordan Hill was ready early.
However, just when the two Lakers were full of confidence in the inside, a whistling gust of wind blew from their ears. Then they saw a pair of arms full of explosive muscles. With a wave of their hand, they actually pushed the flying basketball into the basket, and Jordan Hill was also bent by the force behind them!
"Clang!"
Only a sound of explosion was heard, and Griffin's iconic dunk appeared again in the center of Staples. With great force, even the basket couldn't help trembling!
"Beautiful, so beautiful. Griffin's patch is as shocking as his alibi. Look at Jordan Hill, this guy is stunned!" Damian sat in the commentary seat and laughed, while the fans at the scene booed him collectively. This bastard, see who was at home. Although they were all in Staples, the sign on the floor today was Lakers!
Not Clippers!
At this time, Griffin, who had successfully re-tamped, also swept away the haze in front of him. He looked at Winnie the Pooh and smiled slightly, as if showing his strength. However, Luo Yun didn't think anything was wrong. He just stepped forward and patted Hill on the shoulder, and then walked to the bottom line to prepare to catch the ball!
Chapter completed!
