Chapter 308 308. Clarkson Plays
"Charles, today's game is too boring, the referee completely ruined the game!" O'Neal said angrily.

"That's right, the fans all came to see Boss and Kobe. Kobe played very little this year, and now he sent off Boss. This game is not interesting at all." Barkley echoed.

Kenny Smith said helplessly: "Isn't it like this to disrupt our live broadcast? Don't you see that the old enemies D'Antoni and Kim Terry have a good offensive battle? There are no superstars like Liu and Kobe. Paul is also a team player, and the two teams are team players, and it looks good against Biao."

Kenny Smith said that D'Antoni was fired after the Suns were eliminated by the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs in the 07-08 season. The current Clippers assistant coach Gentry took over D'Antoni. Sweeping the Spurs in the playoffs and reaching the Western Conference Finals made the media and fans call D'Antoni really useless. You must know that the 2010-year-old Nash led the team, and Stoudemire also entered the stage of decline.

Therefore, D'Antoni and Gentry were promoted by the media as sworn enemies.

"It's boring, this game is really boring... Wait, director, turn the camera back a little bit, there just now... Yes, yes, yes, wow! Charles, Kenny, look, who is this!" O'Neill said in a hurry Said nonsense.

"This is Ajali Ranadive! One of Boss' rumored heroines!" Barkley also exclaimed.

"Looking at her, she seems to feel a little boring. It seems that like most guys who only watch stars and don't really understand football, Ranadive is also the kind of guy who watches games only to watch stars play, especially women." Kenny -Smith shook his head regretfully.

"Indeed, it's very difficult for a woman to understand real basketball... Fuck! Kenny, you bastard! You actually said that I don't know how to play basketball! And that I'm a woman!" O'Neill said as he lifted the chair.

"I didn't say, I'll take my seat by myself..."

Bazemore replaced Liu Ren at the small forward position, and McCollum continued to play. At this time, McCollum's more comprehensive scoring methods were much easier to use than Jeremy Lin, and Green and Whiteside continued to partner inside.

Like D'Antoni and Bickerstaff thought, Whiteside and Green are the future of the team, and they need to be given more opportunities to exercise, so Gasol was not allowed to play.

After taking a long-term contract, Gasol also accepted the fact that his tactical status will slowly decline. He now calls Green, Whiteside, and Antetokounmpo together in almost every training session, and teaches them more than a decade. Various techniques of experience.

Without Liu Ren, Kobe's tactics changed back to the traditional style of play, Whiteside returned to the inside, and Kobe returned to his most accustomed weak side after playing in the final quarter.

With Kobe's singles, Whiteside was ready to catch the ball inside at any time, coupled with Green's transfer, McCollum and Bazemore opened up the space, the Lakers' offense was still pretty good, but without Liu Ren's precise three-pointer , The Clippers still double-team Kobe a lot.

Kobe is Kobe after all, scoring 13 more points in half a quarter just kept the Lakers from collapsing, but he is 36 years old after all, he has [-]v[-]v[-] in a row, and he has to find opportunities to pass the ball and cooperate with Green. It's too bad.

Entering the final official timeout, the Lakers trailed by three points, 109-112.

The final decisive battle began, Kobe was temporarily unable to play, and so was McCollum. After Liu Ren left the field, he was responsible for defending Crawford. A lot of stamina.

Liu Ren is physically strong, but he has committed six crimes!
"Jordan, Nick, you two should work together in the backcourt." Liu Ren suddenly said when D'Antoni was having a headache for who to play.

Clarkson?Nick Young?
D'Antoni glanced at Liu Ren in surprise, Nick Young was okay, he was in good shape, Liu Ren and Kobe couldn't fight, he was sure to play, but Clarkson, a rookie?
Liu Ren recommended Clarkson to play not only because he knew that Clarkson would rely on hard work to play well in the future, but because his progress was so obvious!

In the recent training, Clarkson once again came to Liu Ren one-on-one with great enthusiasm. Although Liu Ren won again, but after Clarkson proposed the game of exchanging offense after scoring a goal, Liu Ren found that every time Clarkson played against each other, The next fight will greatly make up for the shortcomings of the previous heads-up, the learning ability is too strong!
D'Antoni still has some appreciation for Clarkson's offensive end, but his defense is too poor, he is not suitable for Bickerstaff's defensive system, his body is weak, he likes to gamble for steals, and his positioning awareness is not enough.

D'Antoni didn't use Clarkson as a regular rotation player after he decided to focus on defense.

Seeing that there are 4 minutes left and three points behind, Jeremy Lin has lost the aura of those games in the Knicks. This team still relies mainly on the inside to organize the offense. Replacing him at the time can only open up space, and the defense of the two is similar. D'Antoni thinks it is better to replace Clarkson!

Do it when you think of it!

"Jordan, Nick, Kenta, Giannis, Drummond, you guys! Hit it, hit it hard!" D'Antoni said loudly.

Pause back.

The Lakers suddenly raised their speed to the extreme. It was so sudden. In a team like the Lakers that was playing a traditional offense but suddenly turned into a small ball tactic, there was no second team. The Clippers were caught off guard and came back from a timeout. After that, Clarkson broke through to the inside at the same speed as Griffin and forced a layup next to Griffin to score 2+1, tying the point difference very well.

Nick Young returned to the court, and Crawford's mind became alive again, but he was very lucky this time. The first thing he thought of was to cooperate with his teammates. Lawford used Jordan Jr.'s off-the-ball pick-and-roll to catch the ball from the top arc and hit a three-pointer. The Clippers once again led by three points.

As long as the Clippers' offense is selfless passing, scoring is too easy under the support of Paul and Griffin.

A small number of Clippers fans on the scene started to cheer, and the Clippers began to play a pleasing team offense. Facing the Lakers' lineup with almost all substitutes, they had reason to believe that they could open the gap in one fell swoop.

However, the Clippers fans were a little too happy. After Crawford scored, none of the five Lakers on the field showed a frustrated expression, and they didn't even look at their opponents. They immediately served and counterattacked.
