NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

The fourth game is still the home court of the Clippers.

The Lakers made adjustments to the previous game, allowing Livingston to start, mainly to improve height.

In addition, let Ellington start instead of Kuzma.

Although Ellington's offensive ability is average, his defense is very strong, and Kuzma can try his best to grab points on the bench.

After adjustments, the Lakers had an advantage as soon as they started the game, and the Clippers were not very comfortable with the overall defensive strength of the Lakers.

Xu Feng stepped up his defense against Leonard.

And Xu Feng no longer cares about the home whistle today, he is doing his best to defend.

Although he was called two more fouls in the first quarter, Xu Feng's attitude made the entire Lakers very excited.

Without Xu Feng's defense, Leonard began to explode, but other Clippers players couldn't find the touch.

Instead, the Lakers took the lead in the first quarter.

28: 24.

This is the result of the Lakers changing their overall strategy.

Sometimes, things just can't be reversed.

Some fans said, if Xu Feng played like this in the last game, wouldn't he win?

But if Xu Feng played like this in the last game, he might call three or four fouls in the first quarter.

And precisely because the Lakers lost the last game, the referee was not so excessive. This is the art of balance.

Xu Feng knows this well, so today he knows that the referee will call him four or five fouls at most, and he will not be sent off.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers continued to grab points off the bench.

Kuzma was placed on the bench, and he didn't complain, but blended perfectly with the bench lineup.

It was the first time that Ding Yanyuhang and Kuzma cooperated on the field, and they had a very tacit understanding.

Both can break through, both have shooting, and they both have height.

All of a sudden, the Clippers' substitutes were blinded.

More than 4 minutes into the second quarter, they beat the Clippers 9:2!

The gap widened further.

Rivers had to replace the main force again.

The Lakers also sent in the main force, and Xu Feng played again.

Although he has two fouls on his back, his defensive strength is still online.

The scene was stalemate again, and the Clippers' offense could only rely on Leonard.

It's dangerous when the fast boat is on one person.

The Lakers continued to expand their lead.

With a strong dunk by Westbrook, the Lakers have extended their lead to 13 points.

Rivers had to call a timeout.

The overall advantage of the Lakers is too obvious, while the Clippers have been reduced to a singles team.

This is unacceptable to Rivers.

So when the players were off the court, Rivers roared loudly, making the Clippers players move.

But it's easy to say, the Lakers' defensive formation is too good, and the intensity is also high.

Except for Leonard, everyone else in the Clippers is extremely uncomfortable.

There are more than 2 minutes left in the second quarter. If the Clippers want to make a difference in the second half, they must narrow the point difference to within 10 points in the first half.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Clippers have changed, and other players are running desperately to open up space.

However, the Lakers had been prepared for a long time. Under Xu Feng's coordinated command, the players made up defenses everywhere, and the Clippers' offense remained stagnant.

At the end of the first half, the point difference not only did not narrow, but expanded to 16 points.

57:41!The Lakers lead!
……

During the intermission, Fujixun made an explanation in the live broadcast room.

Yang Yi and Wang Meng are still very confident in the Lakers.

"Teacher Yang Yi, what do you think of the performance of the two teams in the first half?"

Yang Yi put down the manuscript, pushed the glasses frame, and said: "The Lakers played very resolutely today, especially Xu Feng, which is completely different from the last game. This is the key to the Lakers' lead. And Westbrook played very well today. Smart, when Xu Feng is attacking, he uses crazy running to help Xu Feng open the defender, which is very important."

Wang Meng said with emotion: "Westbrook's performance this season really surprised me! Seriously, when he came to the Lakers, I really thought this was the worst deal the Lakers have made in recent years..."

"Haha, that's what I thought too. I remember when I posted on Weibo, saying that the Lakers were far away from the championship. Now I'm being slapped in the face, but I'm also very happy!"

"Teacher Yang Yi, I'm not talking about you, you've been slapped in the face a lot, haha!"

"It doesn't matter. Dare to be slapped in the face is the basic requirement for a basketball commentator. I hope to be slapped in the face in the future!"

Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing and said: "Teacher Yang Yi, can you predict who can come out from the east?"

There have been four games in the East, and the Bucks and Nets tied 2:2.

According to the performance of these four games, the two teams have their own strengths, and it is really hard to see who can stabilize the opponent.

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "If I want to predict, I'm still optimistic about the Nets. After all, there are two super giants in charge. The closer to the critical moment, the more able to grasp the direction of the game. So if it is a tiebreaker, I am optimistic about the Nets. net."

Wang Meng smiled and said, "That's what you said. If the Nets don't rush out, the Nets fans will call you a crow's mouth."

Yang Yi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I will analyze it according to my thinking, and I will admit whether it is right or wrong. Anyway, my Weibo is there, so you can post it if you want."

Xiaoqi said: "Actually, I think the Bucks have greater hopes. Antetokounmpo is very energetic on both ends of the offense and defense. James and Durant feel a bit mismatched."

Wang Meng felt that what Xiaoqi said made sense: "Yeah, if you want to say it alone, James and Durant are both very good, but in a team, Antetokounmpo has too much influence on the defensive end!"

Yang Yi shook his head: "Basketball is ultimately a game of scoring. The Nets' Jan-Doo combination can beat the Bucks by scoring. I firmly believe in this."

……

The second half of the game between the Lakers and the Clippers has begun.

The Clippers counterattacked in the second half, but the Lakers continued to respond with a tough overall defense.

The point difference between the two teams is always around 15 points. Every time Leonard scores, Xu Feng can respond.

This made Rivers feel helpless.

A timeout was also called, and the formation was adjusted, but there is indeed a gap between the stars.

Westbrook was originally considered a weakness by Rivers, so he rehearsed several tactics in advance, targeting Westbrook.

But in this round of the series, Westbrook is simply possessed by a reasonable turtle, completely throwing away his weaknesses.

Even Westbrook's favorite rebound, he will not rush to grab it, but will be more active in helping his teammates get stuck.

Such Westbrook, I just ask you if you are afraid!
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 84:68, and the Lakers still led by 16 points.

Rivers is at the end of his rope, and he knows in his heart that it is not easy to win a game in front of the Lakers.

Since Xu Feng returned from a serious injury, he has a deeper understanding of basketball.

He no longer judges the team's situation by scoring or winning or losing.

Instead, make the best choice based on the direction of the series.

This makes the opponent very uncomfortable.
