super small forward

Chapter 309 309. The Final Battle
Nick Young received the ball from outside the three-point line. After a few dribbles, Crawford, who came back against the defense, directly pulled out the ball. It was too easy for him to hit Crawford. It all depends on how good the hand feels. Can't stop him.

That's how it feels!Nick Young forced the ball into the frame!

Nick Young is suitable for this kind of chaotic battle. When cooperating with Kobe, Liu Ren, and Gasol, Nick Young has many open shooting opportunities, but Nick Young is not used to catch and shoot at all. He is suitable for this This kind of dribble finds the rhythm and then forces a shot against the defender!

115 to 115, Nick Young's unreasonable three-pointer helped the Lakers tie the score!
The more chaotic the situation on the court, the happier Nick Young was playing.

As if returning to him when he was in the Clippers, Nick Young brought a few substitutes to compete with the Clippers' powerful starting five.

Nick Young is unstoppable from the outside. Paul is both a father and a mother. After being forced by Clarkson before, he is going to defend Clarkson. Clarkson is too fast. Only he can keep up with the Clippers.

But now Nick Young is showing signs of turning away. Paul knows Nick Young too well. They were teammates in the past two years. It was only by relying on Nick Young to turn away at critical moments that they had a chance to reverse the Grizzlies. Otherwise, if the Grizzlies grabbed the home court advantage that year, the Clippers would be quite difficult to play.

No way, Paul can only defend Nick Young.

If the Clippers have any glaring weakness, it's that they don't have a small forward who can defend the opposing team's top scorers, or that their perimeter defense is average at best except for Paul.

Barnes' defense can only be described as pretty good after he is over 30 years old. When he was in the Lakers, he was far less powerful than in the Magic period in the 2009 Finals, so he was given up by the Lakers.

Seeing that Redick was defending himself, Clarkson kept breaking through the basket, and the Clippers' two major insiders were making consecutive fouls on Clarkson.

Under the crazy breakthrough of Clarkson, a guy who came out of nowhere, the Clippers didn't react for a while. When did the Lakers have such an impactful point guard?Aren't the Lakers' point guards all old and slow or as wooden as pillars?
Paul can only defend Clarkson again, and now it's Nick Young's turn to show off.

3+1!Nick Young used his best crotch dribble feint to point Crawford up, Nick Young immediately posted it, the referee whistled, and he took advantage of the opportunity to shoot.The ball is scored and a penalty is added!
Free throw hit!As the king of four-pointers in the NBA last season, Nick Young sent out four-pointers again!
Rivers quickly called a timeout.

126 to 125, with 1 minute left in the game, relying on the wonderful performance of Nick Young and Clarkson scoring 3 points in 17 minutes, the Lakers led by one point and entered the timeout.

D'Antoni stroked his mustache. He was shocked by Clarkson's performance, which unknowingly raised Clarkson's status in his heart a lot.

At the critical moment of the game, although Clarkson performed very well, Bickerstaff put him on the bench and replaced McCollum, Nick Young, Kobe, Whiteside and Thackeray!

Nick Young also understands that this is Nick Young's time. He has performed so well that he should be given playing time.

McCollum was the de facto No. 1 pick at point guard when Nash was out.

Kobe naturally needless to say.

But what about the twin towers of Whiteside and Thackeray?The commentators of the fans and broadcasters at the scene couldn't understand it.

It's time for Paul to show off. Although Paul's scoring average is not high, only 18 points last season, but no one dares to underestimate him at the critical moment. With Whiteside in the front and McCollum in the back, he still sends the ball in. basket.

Kobe is also a black mamba showing his true nature. He took the ball in the middle distance, knocked Crawford near the three-second zone, and hit a big hook.Kobe's speed is a bit slower, but his back-up technique is excellent, and his strength is stronger than Crawford's after losing weight. He turned around and scored a hook on Crawford's head.

Seeing that Paul is now in an undefensible state, Whiteside directed the defense and began to double-team Paul!

It was still McCollum defending Paul, but when Paul came outside the three-point line, Nick Young posted it at the same time.

Paul immediately passed the ball to the free Crawford.

Kobe immediately defended in front of Crawford, and Nick Young let go of Paul and retreated into the three-point line in order to defend Redick or double-team Crawford.

pass?Crawford immediately dispelled the idea that Nick Young was helping to defend the inside, and began to dribble the ball under his crotch.

As the player who has stayed on the team for the longest time, Jordan is very familiar with his teammates. He immediately understood that Crawford wanted to come by himself, and immediately stepped up to block Crawford.

But Jordan blocked Kobe, Kobe went around directly behind Jordan, and Nick Young went directly to the other side of Jordan.

This kind of pick-and-roll on the line is basically useless for the Lakers. Bickerstaff's focus is on the opponent's breakthrough on the line and forcing the opponent to go to the bottom line. Only in this way can Whiteside and Gasol's inside wingspan advantage be used to block shots. .

After Kobe went around Jordan, Kobe and Nick Young were on Jordan's side alone, and Crawford was defended no matter which side he went.

Crawford decisively chose to accelerate to the basket with all his strength after Jordan blocked the man, and collided with Nick Young who bypassed Jordan. Crawford hit Nick Young and shot directly from the middle distance.

hit!

Nick Young's heart broke out, is this ball going to be called a foul?Don't miss a single point at the critical moment!
Crawford kept complaining that the ball was fouled, but the referee ignored him.

Kobe continued to hit Crawford hard. The Clippers decided to double-team him just now. Unlike Crawford, Kobe immediately passed to Thackeray who was free. Thackeray received the ball and took a step inside. Shake Griffin, who came over from the defense, to throw a small throw.

The footsteps are beautiful, but they didn't make it!Thackeray has been off the court for too long and hasn't found his touch yet!

The fierce-looking Jordan grabbed a defensive rebound. This time, Crawford was not willful. When the Lakers' defense did not take shape in the transitional period, he rushed inside and attracted everyone from the Lakers. Griffin followed up and received a rebound. The ball was dunked successfully.

129 to 126, the Clippers lead by three points!
Although Thackeray didn't score, but Thackeray's footsteps just now startled the Clippers. Thackeray's footsteps are so beautiful!Facing the basket at such a close distance, it is easy to find the touch.

Seeing that it was Crawford's single defense, Kobe decisively continued to play singles.
