Chapter 1577 Overall Strength
Depressed bad.

Crawford and the Clippers' substitutes almost vomited blood, and their feelings were wanton, and they ended up working for nothing, which is too hurtful.

Besides, considering the time they spent in the NBA and the strength of the first tier below the stars, it is really uncomfortable to play like this.

It wouldn't be embarrassing, but after tossing and tossing for a long time, I didn't get anything, which is nonsense.

Different from the depression of these old fritters, the Celtics substitutes headed by Avery Bradley are in a good mood now.

Originally thought that the Clippers' substitutes would be very strong, but after the actual game started, their thunder was not small, but the rain after the timeout was really almost meaningless.

Especially Joe Crawford, one of the iconic figures of the Clippers.

This man has won the Super Sixth Man award more than once, and his personal offensive ability can be called "crazy".

If it is said that JR Smith is well-known in recent years as a nerve knife, and often achieves world-beating records, then Crawford is an indomitable and extremely sharp scalpel!

Throughout his career, Joe Crawford has been a scrimmage.

He mostly played as the sixth man, but at the beginning of his fame, he was also a well-known No. [-] man.

It was only because his style of play was too egotistical that he was put on the bench by some coaches.

But now under the leadership of this guy, the Celtics not only have no loss, but also play very well, and anyone would be extremely comfortable.

Coupled with Qin Tao and Durant's constant praise, they felt much more comfortable.

It's just that the levels they have reached are different, making them more of just ordinary laughing and joking.

at the same time.

Clippers fans are also talking about it.

"Although the team's changes are still limited, the game is still exciting. Even if it's not the Celtics' opponent, I hope the team can beat Qin Tao and the others, but..."

"Who says no. But what can we do? Even their substitutes are so tough, I really can't find Chris Paul and their hope of winning."

"Yes. They have worked very hard, but the overall strength is not as good as the team's pursuit of offense, but it completely limits the possibility of the team's advancement."

"It is undeniable. Doc Rivers is an excellent coach, but since he took over the Clippers, I feel that only Jiang Lang can do it..."

"He led the Magic to an amazing record when he was young, and led the Celtics to win a trophy in his middle age. !"

"Of course! This is not all his problem, but the past few years have fully demonstrated the problem. His system is not suitable for the Clippers at all, and his use and arrangement of stars is almost a mess!"

"Why is this? We have the strongest point guard in the league, the fiercest young super power forward, one of the best defensive team members on the inside, and JJ Redick and Joe Crawford on the outside. shooter..."

"With such a strong lineup, I don't pray to become a champion, but at least it is also a super strong team in the top few leagues, right?"

"But what happened?"

"The loud slogan year after year, the same result year after year, this is too hurtful."

"Ah. Compared to these things, it's much better now than it was decades ago, it's just us..."

The fans' exchanges are full of helplessness and pity, but the result is often only disappointment.

As for Qin Tao, he doesn't care about it now.

After all, nothing is more important than being stronger than your teammates.

soon.

Pause ends.

The Celtics are still the same lineup just now, and the Clippers were forced to replace DeAndre Jordan and JJ Redick in advance.

These two represented both ends of the offense and defense. Jordan guarded the inside and JJ Redick tried to make the offense sharper.

This can be said to be the Clippers' system.

There is Jordan on the inside, Mbah a Moute on the outside, and everyone else can be said to be strong offensively and weak defensively.

Including Chris Paul.

If it weren't for his personal ability, steals and small moves are equally sharp, and his size already speaks for itself.

It is undeniable.

Under Paul's needlework, the Clippers' system arrangement is very practical, but it's still the same sentence, if you want to win honors, defense is king.

If nothing else, just talk about the Warriors.

They look terrible offensively, but when it comes to defense, they are full of talent.

For example, Andrew Bogut, Iguodala, Sean Livingston, and Drummond Green, who played the dirt, are all defensive champions.

so.

If you want to go further, you don't have to balance the inside and outside, you have to have your own defensive system.

As it is.

The situation on the court finally changed.

JJ Redick is an authentic perimeter knife. If it is not limited by his physical fitness, his off-ball skills are really good.

At this stage.

Because the Clippers still have the scalpel of Crawford, the Celtics' defense was torn apart, causing JJ Redick to run very comfortably without the ball.

So much so that under his pull, not only did the Celtics tear apart, but he could also rely on his teammates' pick-and-roll cover to catch the ball and hit it.

By the half of the second quarter, the Clippers had already led the Celtics by six points.

Redick alone scored nine points, which shows how efficient it is.

time out.

Stevens had a smile on his face, didn't care about the score on the court at all, and even talked and encouraged the players off the court.

They perfectly did what Stevens needed them to do, and brought valuable rest time to the main team.

As for the Clippers.

Jordan Jr. and JJ Redick also completed the tasks given by the team, but looking at Qin Tao and the others who were full of energy, no one could laugh, but all of them looked dignified.

After all, the two of them were able to complete the task, but it wasn't that they didn't pay anything.

The exhaustion of physical strength cannot be recovered in a short while.

Thus.

The two main players of the Clippers, the next step is not to play comfortably.

Playing for two to three minutes at most, there was nothing they could do in this high-intensity first half.

Even such a huge consumption will definitely affect the second half.

But the only good thing is that Paul and Griffin got enough rest, plus a Mbah a Moute.

pity.

With the return of both Qin Tao and Durant, it can be said that the Clippers have only one Paul who is not a small threat.

Griffin was almost blocked by Qin Tao, and Mbah a Moute was gradually unable to block Durant's attack.

If it wasn't for Joe Crawford's nerve knife shot at the last moment regardless of physical strength, by the end of halftime, the Clippers would not be behind by four points, but at least ten goals!
That's right!

Not only did the Clippers fail to keep their six-point advantage, they also lost four points at the last moment.
