Chapter 185 Fighting the Clippers

The Clippers attacked, Thomas took the ball to the frontcourt, and passed it to Livingston who was running without the ball when all the players were in position.

The latter catches the ball at a mid-range distance of 45° on the right, but Battier sticks very hard and has not been thrown away. The hard training in the summer still pays off.

And Livingston directly pulled out his hand relying on his height and wingspan, boom!Forging the iron, he obviously hasn't practiced this skill well yet.

Yang Zhan took the ball to the frontcourt at the top of the arc and asked Chandler to come out for a pick-and-roll, and then Yang Zhan broke through to the inside and Chandler went down together.

Facing Brand on the inside line at this time, Yang Zhan did not make a hard attack but threw the ball into the air, and Brand immediately turned to defend.

Chandler, who was following up on the other side, had already jumped high at this time, facing Brand who stretched out his hand, after receiving the ball, he smashed it into the basket with both hands.

Beep!The referee blew the whistle and dunked 2+1, and the fans cheered collectively.

The "Boxer" who landed was obviously very excited, and he and Yang Zhan collided with each other.

The first goal of the season was so exciting, which certainly did not exist during the Bulls period. In fact, Yang Zhan really realized the power of this talent in this goal.

During the China game, Yang Zhan used Paul's player card during his rookie period. He thought he could only get a first-level star skill.

But what I didn't expect was that Yang Zhan Ouhuang possessed him and got a passing talent.

Air Guidance: The receiver will have a 5.00% finishing ability increase on the original basis. (air pick-up only)

After being beaten 7-0 at the start, Mike Dunleavy stopped being a showman. He replaced Quinton Rose when Chandler made a free throw and replaced center Kaman on the bench.

Chandler did not let them down amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, and successfully missed a free throw.

The Clippers' offense once again played a positional battle. Warrick must not be able to guard against Brand. The latter easily backed off with strength, and then turned around and made a layup.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies attack, and when Kaman is replaced on the opposite side, they will focus on the outside. Yang Zhan called Chandler to pick and roll and then broke through to the inside.

Battier missed the shot at the free throw in the corner and made a second pass to Warrick, who was running off the ball.

The latter received the ball at the top of the arc, and then made an open three-pointer when Brand came over, boom!strike iron.

However, Chandler on the inside shot out the ball when he was fighting with Kaman, and Yang Zhan on the outside just grabbed it.

When Yang Zhan just wanted to break through, he saw Roy who had thrown away Mobley and cut in without the ball, and then immediately hit the ground and passed the ball.

Kaman wanted to defend, but was pressured by Chandler all the time, so Roy, who entered the inside line, made an easy layup.

The Clippers launched an offense. Tim Thomas called Kaman to pick and roll from the left 45°.

Thomas began to break through to the inside, and Yang Zhan had been chasing after him. When he entered the three-second zone, he attracted Warrick's double-team.

Then Thomas immediately passed to Brand at the free throw line, who made a solid mid-range open shot.

Yang Zhan held the ball across the half and waited for everyone to settle down, then played the exact same tactic as last time.

Warrick made a three-pointer after receiving the ball, boom!It hit the iron again, but Chandler is really awesome, this time he directly took off the offensive rebound.

Then facing Kaman's second attack, he made a strong attack and caused the opponent's thug to foul. It can be seen that Chandler is really excited in this game.

And in fact, a large part of the reason why Kaman can have so many rebounds in the Clippers is that Brand has been helping him in the interior.

As soon as Warrick pulled him out with a three-pointer threat, Kaman's rebounding ability naturally plummeted.

Chandler stood at the free throw line, and Nelson took the opportunity to replace the uncomfortable Warrick with the more experienced Swift.

Under normal circumstances, the Clippers should have replaced Corey Maggette at this time, but the opposing head coach has not responded, and I don't know why.

Chandler made two free throws this time, and the Grizzlies retreated immediately.

Thomas took the ball to the frontcourt and lobped it again, passing it to Brand, who was in the low post and was relying on Swift, and it was easier for the latter to hit him than Warrick.

After all, under the absolute physical advantage, many things in experience were knocked away by brute force before they had time to display them.

Because the Grizzlies missed two outside shots, and because Kaman missed two backcourt rebounds, this time Brand couldn't come out inside.

And Yang Zhan is also the top iron team and has the lead, so after playing a tactic, this time it is Swift who catches the ball and shoots an open three-pointer.

Brand stuck Chandler in the paint, just as Kaman was about to jump up, swipe!hit.

With about 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Nelson replaced Yang Zhan and Chandler, and then replaced Lu Wei and Chakalidis.

Mike. Dunleavy also made adjustments, replacing Thomas and Livingston, replaced by Cassell and Quinton Rose. Maggette still did not play.

With Roy's mid-range emergency stop jumper after the pick-and-roll, and Quinton Rose's ultra-long three-pointer, the first quarter ended and the Grizzlies led their opponents by 26 points 20-6.

After a short intermission, the second quarter started, and the lineup sent by the Clippers was .

Point guard: Cassell, shooting guard: Mobley, small forward: Quinton Rose, power forward: Brand, center: Kaman.

The lineup sent by the Grizzlies is, point guard: Yang Zhan, shooting guard: Dengtai Jones, small forward: Posey, power forward: Warrick, center: Chandler.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies directly accelerated, but Warrick's touch obviously did not return, causing Brand to stay in the penalty area and not come out.

Fortunately, Posey is really good. Although he is a veteran, he is good at three-point defense.

In the free market this summer, many championship-level teams have quoted him, but there is a reason why West has not let him go.

As for Deng Tai Jones' strength, Yang Zhan can't expect much from him, but fortunately, this lineup can always maintain its leading edge.

In the first 6 minutes or so, the Clippers sent the entire starting lineup up. Their leading star Brand and the outside firepower Mobley have not gotten any rest time until now.

Watching the Clippers make major adjustments, Nelson just replaced the young Warrick and replaced Swift, who had performed well before.

Judging from the lineup, the Clippers obviously have more firepower, but their outside three-pointers have not been good, and they have not introduced any top shooters this summer.

So they look fierce, but they are not fast in chasing points, and the Grizzlies throw one from the outside from time to time.

As Brand made a forced layup at the buzzer, the first half ended and the score between the two sides was 48 to 46.

Although being chased to only 2 points left, the Grizzlies still maintained their lead.
