Amid the cheers of more than 20,000 people at the scene, the game between the two sides officially started.

The Clippers played with great momentum as soon as they came up. Whether it was offense or defense, the players worked very hard, giving people the feeling that they had taken stimulants.

In an attack, Tang Shuai's layup was interfered with Durant's long arm, but before Adams could jump, Brewer, who followed behind, had already jumped and rushed to grab the offensive rebound. He directly threw his hand to Booker on the outside. Booker still failed to make a three-pointer. Jordan gritted his teeth and squeezed Adams away to grab the offensive rebound and scored directly.

The three armies used their lives, and it was the best idiom to describe the Clippers' state at the beginning.

10-4, unlike the previous two games, the Clippers' opening game was as powerful as a rainbow, firmly occupying the initiative on the field.

Westbrook's strong layup ended in siege by the three Clippers. Donovan finally couldn't sit still and reached out and called a timeout.

After calling this timeout, he turned to look at the direction of the Clippers' bench, as if he wanted to find out why the Clippers were completely different.

However, he didn't seem to notice any difference. Seeing that the Thunder team members came to an end, he also looked back.

"The Clippers played at the beginning with a very strong momentum, which was completely different from the previous two games. It seems that they are determined to win this game." O'Neal said with emotion.

"This is reasonable. Russell's provocative remarks are too strong. In addition, the home team performed well, so it is reasonable to play such a momentum." Smith echoed.

After the timeout, the Thunder adjusted their offense. They, who have always been solo, actually started to run tactics.

After Durant bypassed the continuous pick-and-rolls made by Adams and Ibaka, he received a pass from Westbrook to cut the basket, attracting double-teams, and returned the ball and gave Ibaka outside the 45-degree angle three-point line.

Ibaka looked up and made a three-pointer.

This move was completely unexpected, and Smith even just stretched out his hand symbolically.

"Swish!"

Ibaka's three-pointer hit, and the fans at the scene were in an uproar.

"Haha, what did I see? Sergi actually hit a three-pointer!" O'Neal was shocked by the Thunder's tactics.

"From this tactical running position, they obviously have practiced it, and Tate is really a unique coach." Smith echoed.

During the Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai took the ball to the frontcourt, and the Thunder immediately defended a 2-3 joint defense.

Shuai Tang and Booker passed the ball several times on the outside, but neither had a good offensive opportunity.

The 2-3 league is a defensive formation that focuses on the defense at the basket. To put it bluntly, it is a defense against Tang Shuai's breakthrough. This was used in the first round of the two sides' competition, but it consumed a lot of money for outside players. Donovan set up this formation in the first quarter, which clearly shows the rhythm of fighting.

From this change in offense and defense, we can see that Donovan is a coach with excellent coaching ability and can make timely judgments on the situation on the field.

Seeing that the attack time was approaching, Tang Shuai had no choice but to choose to break through.

Continuous cross-step changes broke into the inside, but soon encountered double-teams. He shook his hand and passed it back to Booker on the outside. Booker made a strong shot without completely shook the defense.

The shot finally jumped out of the basket, and Westbrook turned around and grabbed the pop-up basketball, and then quickly made a quick attack.

At this time, he was very physically strong and he was completely a bull when he rushed. Brewer tried to block it and was directly driven away.

More than 20,000 people at the scene watched him break into the frontcourt in one-stop from the backcourt, and then had a physical confrontation with Tang Shuai in the air and then a loop pull rod was sent to the basket.

After Tang Shuai landed, he shook his head helplessly. Once this full-body Westbrook rushed up, he would be a speed-enhanced version of James, and he could not stop him at all.

The Clippers' offense and the outside ball are still not very good. The most useful way to crack the 2-3 joint defense is to have a three-pointer. However, when Booker and Tang Shuai only have two three-pointers, the Thunder can focus on defense, so it will naturally become difficult to score.

On the contrary, the Thunder have more passes to motivate the role players.

10-3, after Donovan called for a timeout to make adjustments, the Thunder played against the Clippers and led the score 14-13.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Kassel also called for a short pause.

The head coaches of both sides called the timeout much earlier than the previous two games, and it can be seen that they attach unprecedented importance to this game.

When the Clippers' players were out of the field, Kassel pointed to Paul, who had been eager to try, and signaled him to come on the field to replace Booker.

The moment Paul got up from the bench and took off his training suit, the cameras on the scene captured this scene in time.

As soon as this picture was placed on the LED screen, the entire stadium exploded.

Paul, after a month's quit, he made another game!

The fans were still in the dark before the game, and no one knew that Paul would play. This unexpected joy really made people feel particularly excited. Many female fans cried with joy.

Donovan was about to arrange tactics. After hearing the cheers at the scene, he looked up in confusion. When he saw Paul's figure appearing on the LED screen on the scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Paul actually made a comeback early?

He suddenly understood why the Clippers played so imposingly at the beginning. On the one hand, Paul's comeback is also a reason that cannot be ignored.

After the timeout, Kassel made adjustments to the lineup, replaced Smith and Booker with Paul and Pierce, and took the lead in playing a small lineup.

The moment Paul appeared, the cheers of the fans at the scene reached their peak, and the whistle was sandwiched in it. It had been too long since they saw the head of the company.

The enthusiasm of the scene made Paul's eyes flush. He waved to the audience, and then suddenly leaned down and touched the floor.

This sudden move made the fans cheer, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

Paul's joke about touching the floor of the Western Finals is actually familiar to him not only at home, but also abroad. Paul obviously knows it. At this time, he used this kind of ridiculous move to welcome his comeback, which is also a unique way.

Shuai Tang didn't expect Paul to come suddenly, but after he understood the meaning, he also started to laugh.

Paul held the ball forward for the Clippers' offense.

“let’s.go!lippe!”

The audience at the scene made a deafening cheer, which was the familiar scene they saw again after more than a month.

The Thunder still defended 2-3.

After Paul advanced outside the three-point line, he then turned the ball from the outside.

Before, because there were only two three-pointers in Tang Shuai and Booker, the Thunder could selectively focus on the defensive end, but Paul broke this situation now. After several consecutive downs, Pierce got a three-pointer opportunity at the 45-degree angle of the right wing and shot with his hand.

Pierce's move was quite decisive, and the disadvantage of 2-3 joint defense on the outside was immediately revealed. Robertson, who was on the right, wanted to run over.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Pierce scored three points!

The Clippers took the lead after the timeout, and the fans suddenly burst into cheers.

Durant showed his superstar style in the Thunder's offense. Facing the double-team between Brewer and Pierce, he made a drifting shot, helping the Thunder tie the score.

Paul held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt again. The same round as the last round. Several consecutive outside drops made Westbrook and Robertson exhausted. He saw the opportunity to pass the ball to Tang Shuai. After leading Robertson to the side, he suddenly stopped and suddenly took a three-pointer.

This move was very sudden and decisive. Westbrook and Robertson's defense were all on both sides, and it was too late to defend.

Paul has always been known for his steady performance, especially for three-pointers, but he didn't shoot many, but he was very accurate. He actually chose to take action, which shows that he is very sure of the ball.

With the attention of the fans on the scene, the basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell straight towards the basket.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Paul's three-pointer hollowed out! This is also his first score since his comeback!

The audience at the scene made a huge cheer, and with this three-pointer, the Clippers' lead came to 3 points.

"CP3 is in good shape. One assist and one three-pointer after playing are very important." Smith sighed.

"This ball is really deadly. He is not just a three-pointer. Including Paul's previous one, this is the second three-pointer that the Clippers hit after the timeout. This means that the Thunder's 2-3 joint defense has lost its meaning. I believe that their defensive formation will definitely change in the next round." O'Neal analyzed.

O'Neal's analysis was very good. The Thunder scored a goal here. After returning to defense, they indeed changed their defensive formation and changed from 2-3 joint defense to man-marking defense.

When Kassel saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This time the game between the coaches of both sides ended with his victory.

After switching back to the man-marking defense, Tang Shuai's role came back.

Paul held the ball at the top of the arc. He used his footsteps when he was out of the ball to shake, and broke away from Robertson's defense and cut inward. After Paul saw it, he directly passed the ball accurately. He received a rhythm change, and after passing Ibaka, he made a low-hand layup, adding two more points to the team.

The match between the empty cut to the passing was perfect. Although Paul paid, it was obvious that he and Tang Shuai had no less tacit understanding.

Tang Shuai was also very excited after scoring the goal. He had not experienced such a comfortable pass for a long time. He turned around and wanted to slap Paul in a high-high manner. However, when he raised his hand, he thought of Paul's injury in the bones of his hand, so he stopped.

"It's this hand." Paul smiled and stretched out his right hand, the protective gear on his finger showed that it was his injured hand.

After seeing this, Tang Shuai laughed loudly, and then slapped Paul with a high-high with his left hand.
