Chapter 163 Victory in the First Battle
The cheers of the fans came like a tsunami, which cheered up the Clippers players who were still in a "sleepwalking" state.The two wonderful cooperation of Ning Caichen and Crawford made the fans finally have some passion.

After seeing the reactions of his teammates, Ning Caichen knew what to do.After whispering a few words in Crawford's ear, the two quickly pulled away.

Ning Caichen doesn't want to fight against Westbrook. His current strength is still a bit behind Westbrook, and now the two sides are at a stalemate. The most important thing is to find a way to open the score.

Before Westbrook approached, Ning Caichen quickly took the ball and passed it out.Crawford's catching the ball was a coquettish combination action, which greeted the cheers and screams of countless fans. When everyone thought Crawford was doing it alone, Ning Caichen suddenly went around the bottom line.

Westbrook followed Ning Caichen, and when Ning Caichen ran to the inside, Crawford threw the basketball in Ning Caichen's hand.

When Ning Caichen saw it, he jumped vigorously, stretched out his right hand, and threw the ball that was still in the air directly to the outside.

Griffin, who was about to grab a rebound, saw the basketball suddenly flying towards him, and without thinking about moving his feet, he bounced hard, and a tomahawk-style dunk slammed the basketball into the basket.

"boom!!!"

The basket shook for a while, and Jordan under the basket was directly knocked out by Griffin.

"Wow!"

The fans at the scene suddenly stood up excitedly again.Too violent, definitely one of today's top ten shots.

Not only did Griffin dunk violently, but Ning Caichen also passed it beautifully.It took less than two seconds for the basketball to pass from Crawford to Griffin's jump.This is obviously a well-planned cooperation between Ning Caichen and Crawford, and Griffin is the passive player in this tactic.

Ning Caichen's tactical cooperation with Crawford was very successful this time, and the morale of the players began to slowly pick up.

The Thunder responded quickly, and under Westbrook's rampage, they also hit the Clippers with the same tiger-style snap.

The passion of the fans at the scene was completely ignited, cheering for the wonderful goals of both sides.

The game began to enter a fierce stage. Driven by Ning Caichen and Crawford, dunks from Gryffindor and Jordan were staged from time to time.Facing the size of the Clippers' two major insiders, the Thunder have no way to defend against it.

The breakthroughs of Ning Caichen and Crawford were too attractive, they were able to prevent two guards and missed two insiders.This time and again, there will always be loopholes.

After a few dunks, the Clippers completely started, and the players were all excited.

The mental outlook of the Clippers has changed, from the listless state just now to the current state where everyone seems to have been injected with chicken blood.The two states switch quickly, but only a few times to switch attacks.

"Well, when did the Clippers have such a strong ability to adjust?" Westbrook's face sank again, and he looked at Ning Caichen, knowing that the changes in the Clippers were driven by Ning Caichen.

Westbrook is still mighty, dragging the entire team by himself to resist the Clippers' offensive.It's a pity that the strength of one person is too small. Under the continuous fast break of the Clippers, the Clippers opened the score a little bit.

In the last 5 seconds of the third quarter, Ning Caichen and Griffin completed the last alley-oop of the third quarter.

The Clippers lead the Thunder by 14 points, which is the biggest difference in the game.

In the third quarter, under the impetus of Ning Caichen, he forced the Clippers players to wake up from the lost state and caught the Thunder by surprise.

In the third quarter alone, Ning Caichen scored 7 assists, but only scored 6 points.

"Not bad, we have to maintain the current momentum and win the game in one go. We can't give the Thunder a chance to breathe..." Rivers told the players with a tactical board.

Ning Caichen was already familiar with Rivers' routines, and back and forth were just those few rigid tactics.It is rare to arrange tactics based on the emotions of players on the court. This is the difference between ordinary coaches and top coaches.

In the last quarter, Paul also played, and Crawford replaced the small forward position. With Ning Caichen, ghosts can tell that it is now the strongest lineup of the Clippers.

According to Rivers, they need to end the game within half a quarter.

Paul of the Clippers rushed forward with the ball, passed the defender at an extremely fast speed, and threw the ball after entering the three-point line. Jordan took advantage of the opportunity to dunk the relay.

Westbrook saw that the Clippers are now in a strong momentum. Although he knew that it was basically difficult to defend with their current lineup, he did not give up. Driven by him, he started to play team basketball with the Clippers.

After all, the disparity in strength was too great. After a few rounds, the Thunder were once again drawn into the gap.

Helpless, Westbrook had no choice but to take the ball over again, no longer relying on his teammates.

No matter how hard Westbrook works, the Clippers still maintain an 18-point lead.

Ning Caichen, who was replaced after 2 minutes in the fourth quarter, was moved by Westbrook's hard work on the court. He really wanted to play again and compete with Westbrook like before.

With about 5 minutes left in the game, the Clippers led by 20 points.When Ning Caichen thought that the game would not be loaded, Rivers withdrew all the main players and replaced the second team, including Ning Caichen.

With a 20-point difference, if the Clippers don't make fatal mistakes, the result is basically no suspense, especially with Ning Caichen and Crawford on the court.

After seeing the Clippers' main lineup off the court, Westbrook was relieved.However, after you Ning Caichen and Crawford once again played a wonderful cooperation, Westbrook almost had the urge to scold his mother.

"The Clippers are really lucky! Where did this monster come from..." Westbrook saw that Ning Caichen was about to shoot a three-pointer, and quickly blocked it.

Seeing that his line of sight was blocked, Ning Caichen jumped up and smashed the ball to the inside with all his strength. Crawford made a smooth pass and succeeded in a backhand layup.

"Good shot!" Ning Caichen gave Crawford a thumbs up.

Westbrook catches the ball from the bottom line and advances quickly. When Ning Caichen didn't pay attention, it was a three-pointer against Ning Caichen.

"Shhh!!"

"This is too unreasonable..."

Although Westbrook's shooting is very unreasonable, he is able to put such a seemingly impossible ball into the basket.

"Your shooting ability is a little bit worse." Westbrook looked at Ning Caichen and said.

"What? It's almost there?"

Ning Caichen didn't expect Wei Shao to despise him so much.He admitted that he did not shoot when Westbrook was defending frontally today, but his shooting percentage is quite high! !
The reason why he didn't force himself on Westbrook was entirely because he wanted to maintain his shooting percentage. After all, his shooting percentage was quite low when someone was defending him.According to Westbrook's logic, his shooting skills are indeed not very good.

Ning Caichen didn't expect that Westbrook would come to provoke him. He wanted to pass Crawford's ball and hit Westbrook head-on with a three-pointer.

"Dang!!" The basketball bounced out of the basket again.

After seeing Ning Caichen, Wei Shao shrugged his shoulders, the meaning was obvious.

Ning Caichen stared at Westbrook with Shen's old face and stepped up his defense.

After receiving the pass, Westbrook quickly advanced, and standing on the three-point line was a three-pointer on the line.

"when!"

No strikes! !
Ning Caichen knew that Westbrook deliberately wanted to provoke him to be competitive, so as to achieve the purpose of following him.

"Hmph! Then I will do as you wish!"

Ning Caichen looked at his teammates who were moving. If he relied on himself alone, the success rate would be too low. He had to find a helper.

Without even thinking about it, Ning Caichen threw the basketball in his hand to Crawford and let Crawford control the ball.He quickly shuttled inside and outside the line.

Seeing Ning Caichen running so aggressively, how could he not know what he meant.Crawford began to drive forward with the ball, but looked at Ning Caichen from time to time.

Ning Caichen was extremely fast, and after a few dodges, he used the players to run out of the open space.Crawford, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the right moment and threw the ball over.

"Shhh!!"

Another beautiful open three-pointer.

"How is it? Does my shot look good?" Ning Caichen looked at Westbrook anxiously and said.

The corner of Westbrook's mouth twitched, but Ning Caichen's shooting posture was beautiful.

Wei Shao is a person who refuses to admit defeat, and he can only fight back with actions against Ning Caichen's show off.Facing Ning Caichen's rapid advance, various changes and fake moves made people dizzy, but Ning Caichen was not fooled.

Westbrook grabbed a rebound after missing a three-pointer, and before he could stand still and turn around, he made a fadeaway jumper.

The two-person confrontation mode was completely turned on, and Ning Caichen didn't want to fight against Westbrook, so he chose the shooter mode.Start to run continuously on the court, find a suitable open space before making a shot.

Westbrook, on the other hand, faced Ning Caichen head-on, and every shot was made under Ning Caichen's defense.

Seeing the wonderful match between the two, the fans at the scene were not to mention excited.

"This is one of the most basic matchups I've ever seen. Although Ning's frontal confrontation ability is not as good as Westbrook's, his shooting percentage is really too high, and his defense is simply the performance of a superstar."

"Wow!!"

Westbrook grabbed another two-pointer from Ning Caichen, and the fans shouted excitedly.

The two of you come and go, and the success rate is quite high, over [-]%.Therefore, the Thunder are still being beaten by the score. Although Westbrook scored slightly better than Ning Caichen in the confrontation, they lost the game.

在比赛只剩下1分半钟的时候，快船队领先雷霆队23分。而宁采臣本节三分球5投3中，外加1个两分球和2个助攻。

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, the Thunder coach also replaced Westbrook, leaving only a few substitute players to waste time.

Ning Caichen was not prepared to attack again, and distributed the ball to his teammates to handle by themselves until the end of the game.

In the end, the Clippers slaughtered the Thunder with a huge point difference of 25, took the lead in getting off to a good start, and won their first victory in the playoffs.

宁采臣本场表现惊人，上场32分钟，拿下全队最高的26分13个助攻和3个篮板的数据，保罗也拿到了22分16个助攻。

On the Thunder side, Westbrook scored the highest score in the game, with 39 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds.It was almost another triple-double superman performance.
