"He's coming! He's coming! The familiar opening fast break is here again! The King sprints at full speed, and Jordan is left behind!"
Ke Fan excitedly punched the air.
When Wang Zelin passed Jordan, he pressed the latter, which not only interfered with the situation, but also helped him accelerate his sprint.
At this time, Griffin moved sideways, trying to block Wang Zelin.
Terry Stotts and the Blazers fans in the stands have long been accustomed to the fact that the enemy team is so familiar with their own offensive routines, because they know clearly, so what if they see it through? It doesn't mean they will definitely let it go.
Returning to the field, it was as expected.
The next moment, Griffin took the initiative to have physical contact with Wang Zelin, but was knocked away by the latter and quickly bounced aside.
Griffin was shocked. Has his strength reached this level? He was actually knocked away instantly?
"Absolute power! This is our leader!"
The Trail Blazers home DJ roared crazily, causing the home fans in the stands to shout familiar lines:
"Deduct one! Deduct one! Deduct one!"
Wang Zelin couldn't care less about Griffin's inner panic. After hearing the towering cheers from the audience, he exerted force with his feet as if he had been given blood, and then accelerated again, rushing past Griffin and into the basket.
On the sidelines, Doc Rivers, who was sitting on the bench, stood up immediately. Before he could remind the Clippers players to return to the basket... the outcome of this offense and defense was already clear.
The three-point line on the right wing was at a 45-degree angle. After receiving a pass from Lillard, Batum did not choose to take a jump shot from outside the three-point line, but directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area.
"boom!"
A loud noise spread throughout the entire venue.
Facts have proved that Batum's choice was very correct. A dunk is far more intimidating to the opponent than a three-pointer.
"yeah!!!!"
In the stands, tens of thousands of Trail Blazers fans cheered again.
Clippers attack.
Their fast break also has a brush, and Paul's advancement speed is very fast. After arriving at the Trail Blazers' half, Jordan and Griffin were not ready to stop at all, and started cutting in from both sides of the three-point line at the same time.
Wang Zelin defended, which slowed down Jordan's sprint, but he couldn't take care of Griffin on the other side.
then,
"boom!"
"ah!"
There was a sudden change in the penalty area. Wang Zelin looked back and saw that Griffin was holding Aldridge's head with one hand and hanging on the basket with the other hand.
Fuck the Marle Desert!
No one can bear to see his teammates being insulted like this.
Wang Zelin immediately became furious and pushed Griffin away from the basket. The latter was unaware of the situation and staggered after landing, almost landing on his butt.
Fortunately, Redick and Matt Barnes from behind arrived in time and quickly stabilized Griffin who was still retreating.
"oh!!!!"
The whole audience burst into exclamations of surprise.
The start is so exciting, is it really good?
Okay, great... what a piece of shit!
The referee and the two linesmen were shocked by what happened under the basket. The three of them had not forgotten that whether it was last season or this season, the Clippers and Trail Blazers had conflicts in the regular season.
It's the playoffs now, and there are beneficiaries watching the live broadcast, so don't cause any trouble!
Fortunately, someone on the Clippers side was still very conscious. Captain Paul quickly rushed between the two, turned around and pushed Griffin away.
There is no way, no matter who is faced with Griffin's dunk stunt, anyone with a temper will not be able to help but explode on the spot.
In fact, Paul was also secretly complaining about Griffin at this time. You can just dunk on Griffin without looking at who the target is now.
The No. 36 on the opposite side is known as the ceiling of combat effectiveness of active players. Why do you have to mess with him?
I really thought he was a Spaniard from the Lakers.
As for Griffin, after he was suddenly pushed away by someone from behind, he turned around and was about to rush over for revenge. But when he looked up, he saw Wang Zelin staring at him with angry eyes, and his anger instantly subsided.
Can't move, absolutely can't move!
Where are the referees, what are you doing for food? If I don’t come here, I might be beaten to death.
Fortunately, the next moment, Paul, who was 1.83 meters tall, appeared between the two like a god with colorful auspicious clouds...
Phew, it's okay.
Griffin just breathed a sigh of relief.
As for being pushed away by Paul, stop making trouble. This is the captain's deep love for him.
Countless people at the scene were in shock. The storm came and went away even faster.
After being disturbed by Paul, the referee quickly came to the scene of the incident and began to bear the weight of the upcoming martial arts show.
so far so good.
The home fans in the stands also breathed a sigh of relief.
But for some reason, they felt so regretful.
After the brief interlude, the game continued.
Perhaps due to Wang Zelin's previous overreaction to protect his teammates, players from both sides suddenly began to play a little timidly. They both tacitly chose to stay away from the basket and started shooting spontaneously from the outside.
When it comes to shooting, we have to mention Chris Paul, who has a strong desire to attack today and has a pretty good touch.
After a single quarter, Paul hit all two outside three-pointers, plus a foul under the basket. For the Clippers, the highest scorer on the team at this time was clearly the playmaker Paul.
8 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal!
With Paul's outstanding performance in a single quarter, after the first quarter, the Clippers led the Trail Blazers by 5 points at 26:21.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers had the upper hand in the confrontation between the two substitutes.
Jamal Crawford, who has just won the Sixth Man of the Season award for the second time in his career, is in great form tonight. I am also watching this live broadcast with hundreds of millions of fans showing off his superb singles performance.
Skill.
At the beginning, he scored 3 points with consecutive shots and free throws. Then, at 5 minutes and 48 seconds of the second quarter, he completed a landmark 4-pointer with the outside. While hitting a three-pointer, he also scored 3 points.
Caused a foul on the defensive player.
I have to mention here that Crawford's 4-point performance is a masterpiece in NBA history. Coupled with his ecstasy of bad luck, it is simply a yuppie performance!
Before the bearded golfer officially took over as the mayor of JDZ, Crawford was the true king of 4-pointers in the league!
According to later data records, as of April 2020, Crawford has scored 4 points 61 times in his career, and scored 4 points 54 times with extra penalties!
After knowing that D'Antoni took over Mosaic and started the magic ball theory, the bearded player gradually surpassed Crawford and became the number one in history with his phenomenal 3+1 performance.
As for JJ Redick, who was in third place, he was so thrown away by the two people in front that he couldn't even see the taillights.
Finally, by the way, Crawford's three-point shooting skills are also among the best in history. By the time he signed with the Nets in the twelfth season of his career, he had successfully ranked among the top ten in the history of the NBA's three-point shooting list, ranking first.
Eight!
well, let's get back to business.
Crawford's sudden and amazing performance during the rotation time frightened Terry Stotts and made Doc Rivers laugh.
The former quickly called a timeout and replaced the main team, while the latter replaced the main team while still leaving Crawford on the court to play the second position.
Facts have proved that Doc Rivers' decision was correct.
Today, both Paul and Crawford were feeling great. In the second half of the second quarter, under the strict defense of the Trail Blazers, Paul scored two more three-pointers. Although Crawford could not hit any more
Three points, but it played a very good role in affecting the Blazers' defense.
As long as he stands outside the three-point line, he can always attract the attention of the Trail Blazers' perimeter defenders.
Therefore, Paul, who felt amazing tonight, became the biggest beneficiary tonight.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers led the Trail Blazers by 16 points, 65:49.
Paul and Crawford's successive outbursts tonight caught Wang Zelin and his teammates off guard.
