data possession

Chapter 170
Horrible!

The performance of the Clippers in the first quarter was not only in terms of overall momentum but also personal performance, playing at the same level as high school players.Facing the Thunder at the NBA level, there is no backhand power.

The morale of the Clippers dropped to a freezing point amidst waves of cheers from the fans, and lasted until the end of the first quarter.

Throughout the first quarter, the Clippers fell behind the Thunder by 15:32.

This is not like a Clippers game. Such a score is more like the Clippers leading the Thunder.

Ning Caichen shook his head and was speechless, he really had nothing to do with the state of his teammates.It was as if the Thunder had completely lost confidence on the court, and Rivers, as the head coach, failed to help the team make effective adjustments.

Ning Caichen frowned even more as he looked at the fans who were cheering almost like a tsunami.

Does the away environment really have such a big impact on the players?Although Ning Caichen felt that the atmosphere in the arena was indeed completely different from that at home, he could even feel the pressure brought by the cheering fans at home.However, when facing the pressure of the fans, as soon as he was on the court, he focused on basketball and didn't take it to heart at all.

Ning Caichen was not disturbed by the away fans, but was a little dazed by Westbrook's 150% burst.And his teammates were under the influence of the atmosphere of the scene and the powerful attack led by Westbrook, and even Paul began to be slowly influenced by his teammates.

"We didn't perform very well in the first quarter. I hope you can adjust yourself and pay attention to defense! Defense!!..."

Rivers kept stippling on the tactical board with a pen, but did not make changes in response to the players' emotional reactions.

After Ning Caichen saw it, he felt the urge to grab the tactical board and arrange the tactics himself.At this time, let them adjust themselves. Isn't it the first thing to consider when adjusting the lineup?

Just like Jordan, after being forcibly dunked by Westbrook several times in a row, he has lost confidence in the basket and can't play a role at all on the defensive end.This is the time for him to relax and reflect on himself off the court.

Ning Caichen disagreed with Rivers' arrangement a hundred times. Seeing Rivers' confidence in the players, I really don't know what to say.

Hope it really improves!

"I'm going!! Is the Thunder team playing chicken blood today? Still so excited."

Once on the court, when facing the Thunder players, you can see the desire for victory from their excited faces.

"Defend!!" Seeing Paul walking slowly with the ball, Westbrook howled to his teammates behind him, like a general on the battlefield giving instructions.

After seeing the Thunder's defensive momentum, the Clippers were obviously weaker, and their momentum was far less high than the Thunder's.

For the Clippers, the current Thunder's defense is simply an impregnable wall, too difficult to attack.

After receiving a fumble from Paul, Griffin began to drive the ball outside the penalty area.His footsteps were a little messy, and he chose to shoot after failing to punch a few times.

Griffin turned around and took off a pick ball, the board bounced on the basket, and after a few laps around the basket, it finally fell into the net.

Balloons.

Westbrook couldn't help but smile after seeing him, and the Clippers' state still hasn't recovered.

Looking at the aggressive-looking Wei Shao, Ning Caichen's eyes flashed coldly.His teammates can't count on him, so he can only rely on himself.

Westbrook rushed up quickly with the ball, but he quickly chose to pass the ball, and then began to run.

Westbrook is very smart, knowing that at this time, he should play team tactics, taking advantage of the overwhelming fighting spirit of his teammates to beat the Clippers hard.

"Hey, Ning, it seems that you are very out of shape today!!" Wei Shao laughed at Ning Caichen.

"Hmph! It's still too early for the game to end! You're too confident." Ning Caichen sneered.

"No, tonight's game is ours." Westbrook said very firmly.

While the two were talking, the inside line made another dunk at the bottom of the basket.

The Clippers' tactical coordination is still there, but it can't be effective. There is not much threat between the coordination, and it cannot cause damage to the Thunder.

After these few rounds, the point difference began to be slowly widened again.

Ning Caichen became anxious, if this continues, the hole will become a little bigger.If it is not blocked in time, even if the Clippers' players recover in the second half, they will not be able to crush the Thunder team, which is in full swing! !

"Paul, give me the ball!!" Ning Caichen said solemnly to Paul.

"what!"

Paul froze for a moment, then passed the ball.Paul was definitely influenced by his teammates tonight. He chose to break through after failing to make a few shots. However, under the strong defense of the Thunder, the success rate was very low.

He had long wanted Ning Caichen to play singles, but now that he saw Ning Caichen making a sound, he passed the ball without hesitation.

It's not that Ning Caichen has never done it alone. He did it several times in the first quarter, but he was defeated by Westbrook's rampant defense.The three-pointer was not scored, and the breakthrough was also restricted.The Thunder's defense today is really too strong.

Ning Caichen can be said to be a little angry now, not because of the Thunder's defense, but because of the performance of his teammates, and dissatisfaction with Rivers' adjustments on the court.

His anger made his blood start to boil, and the data energy in his body also began to heat up.

Turn on solo mode! !

After seeing Ning Caichen holding the ball, Westbrook frowned and quickly prepared for defense.Judging by Ning Caichen's appearance, he seems very difficult to provoke! !
Facing Westbrook's defense, Ning Caichen chose to ignore it.He didn't pay attention to skills, and relied entirely on strength to knock Westbrook away.

"This, what a great power..."

Wei Shao was too surprised. Ning Caichen's breakthroughs have always been good at speed and skill, but he didn't expect Ning Caichen to choose strength to drive breakthroughs.

Ning Caichen didn't think too much about it, he only knew that if he wanted to get past Westbrook, he could only rely on what he was best at, and the only thing he was better than Westbrook was strength.

It was the first time for him to use such a crude offensive method.But the effect seems to be good, Westbrook was caught off guard.

Ning Caichen did not choose to rush forward again, because there were still two masters waiting for him on the inside line.

After passing Westbrook, Ning Caichen released his focus, recovered his strength, and raised his hand to strike.

For today's Thunder's defense, the three-pointer is hopeless, so choose the mid-range shot! !

"Shhh!!"

The basketball hits steadily! !

"Hey! There are very few breakthroughs like Ning Caichen!! It seems that he wants to do it himself!!"

"There's no way, even Paul's slump in the Clippers is the only one who remains in this state. If he doesn't work alone to drive the emotions of his teammates, today's game will be suspended."

"The point difference of 23 points, if the second quarter can be pulled back a little, and the second half recovers, there is still no problem for the Clippers."

After scoring two consecutive mid-range shots, Ning Caichen clenched his fists.

It feels good!
CIC is very strange to him, but it can give him 100% confidence.The shooting rate of two-pointers is much higher than that of three-pointers, even when there are people defending and sports shooting, it is much higher than three-pointers.

He generally rarely shoots two-pointers during the game, because his shots are basically open, and he is too confident in the open three-pointers.The two-point shot, which has been experimented with before, can be used as an emergency game-breaking trick.

Ning Caichen's impression of Westbrook has always been three-pointers and breakthroughs, and he couldn't switch to his role as a small mid-range shot expert for a while.

Westbrook's counterattack came soon, and after forcing Ning Caichen, it was a two-pointer with a step back.

Ning Caichen has nothing to say about Westbrook's state today. If Westbrook is in a normal state, it is okay to say that he can suppress Westbrook to only [-]% of his skills, but now that Westbrook is in a state of berserk, he can suppress Westbrook at most. Until he exerts seven successes.

Ning Caichen led Westbrook into the inside line again. Westbrook was not as powerful as Ning Caichen, so he could only press the defense.After Westbrook lost control of his center of gravity, Ning Caichen quickly dribbled the ball back and returned to the three-point line again.

When Ning Caichen's feet touched the floor, his whole body bounced up.

Three-pointer! !

"brush!"

Ning Caichen felt better and better! !
Wei Shao's face was dark, and after a few rounds, Ning Caichen succeeded in forcing him, and he couldn't bear it.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Ning Caichen and Westbrook continue to kill each other on each other's basket.You come and I go down, the success rate of the two is very high, but the score has never been pulled apart or pulled closer.

Ning Caichen is almost carrying the team alone, and 80% of the ball is in his hands.

"No way! If this continues, it will be an ugly death." Ning Caichen thought to himself, without the cooperation of his teammates, facing Westbrook who went berserk tonight, there is no way to win the game.

"Ning, give me the ball!! Two point guards playing singles!!" Paul suddenly walked around behind Ning Caichen, and took the initiative to grab the ball.

Ning Caichen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Paul to propose double point guard singles.

The so-called double point guard singles means that two point guards control the ball and do the final finish.The other teammates are just as a foil, unless there is an absolute opportunity to pass the ball to the third person.

He often played like this when he and Crawford were on the court. The dual point guards who cooperate with Paul are usually the team's dual point guards, creating more opportunities for teammates.

With Paul's help, Ning Caichen's offense was much easier.Of course, due to Paul's touch tonight, most of the shots were given to Ning Caichen.

As the first half ended, the Clippers were still 18 points behind.However, the team's offense has improved. With Paul's help, Ning Caichen played more and more easily.

In the second half, with Paul's slow return and lineup adjustments, other Clippers players also began to slowly regain their form.

The status of the Clippers is back, but the status of the Thunder is still online.The offensive end still maintains a very good efficiency.

Tonight is Ning Caichen's most difficult play since the playoffs, carrying a team alone.Although the teammates began to recover slowly, they still lost the game in the end.
