Chapter 1114 The goal is to regain home court advantage
"Listen everyone, although we lead by exactly 20 points, there are still 24 minutes left in the game. This is the playoffs, and every minute is a sudden change. So as long as you are on the court, no matter who you are, you must focus. We must prepare well for every round, cherish every ball possession, we must defend the home court, we must win ~!!, we still have to play 1 minutes of good ball ~!!"

Although he entered the intermission with a 20-point lead, Lan Shengli was still very cautious in reminding his teammates in the locker room.

After all, the Nuggets are an offensive team. If the three-pointer is suddenly missed, it is absolutely not safe for the 20-point difference.

"Don't give the opponent an easy outside shot, switch defenses when they encounter screens and pick-and-rolls, and then let them go inside and choke the outside~!!"

Harper is also reminding here.

But having said that, the Clippers can hardly find any faults in this half. Everyone is playing their best characteristics and doing their best to help the team. That's why they have a 20-point lead .

After the start of the second half of the game, the two sides launched a tug-of-war, and the Clippers put more emphasis on defense, especially chasing and defending the opponent's perimeter players.

As Harper reminded, the Clippers would rather let the Nuggets go over the sky than let them try to shoot three-pointers.

But the Nuggets also understand that in order to catch up with such a score, they must use three-pointers to solve the problem, so under such circumstances, the Nuggets' long-range three-pointers are all forced shots under high-intensity defense .

Of course, such a shot hit rate is not guaranteed.

So this point difference has not been narrowed, and the Clippers are firmly in control of the situation.

Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, coach Carl directly replaced all the main players in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Perhaps one victory in two away games is enough.

When the camera captured the main players of the Nuggets sitting on the bench, they were not depressed or anything because of the big loss. They were still relatively calm, even talking and laughing.

However, Lan Shengli continued to let the main force fight, and did not dare to relax at all.

The final score was fixed at 119:90.

The Clippers also gave the Nuggets a 19-point victory.

Lan Shengli also won the first victory of his coaching career in the playoffs, and with this victory, Lan Shengli should also be able to keep his coaching position.

"Oh, it's fine if you win, it's fine if you win~!!, it seems that Mr. Sterling's supervisory battle has had an effect, and this time I shouldn't bother Lan Shengli~"

The general manager thought to himself.

"Maybe it's because the young players have really improved~!"

The general manager continued to sigh.

"We lost by 18 points in the last game, and we won by 19 points in this game. What made you suddenly change teams~?!"

Harden, who scored a game-high 27 points and 8 assists, accepted a sideline interview.

"Focus and details~, we are more focused on the game, we are more strict about the details of the game~!!, we have proved that we can win the playoffs, and we can do better~!!"

Harden responded.

"The team made 17 three-pointers in this game, creating a record for the team's three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs. Why is there such a good touch tonight? Is the team's tactics mainly focusing on the outside~? !"

The reporter continued to ask.

"We have been very focused on the perimeter offense throughout the season. We are a team that is good at shooting. We have very high offensive talent, so we hit a lot of perimeter shots, and we can hit more!!"

Harden still said in a confident tone.

The Clippers did win on the outside. In terms of three-pointers alone, the Clippers made 8 more than the Nuggets.

The three-pointer won by 24 points.

"Crack clap clap clap ~!!!!!!"

Here the line of sight came to the Clippers locker room.

After Lan Shengli walked into the locker room, he applauded repeatedly.

He didn't speak, just kept applauding.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

"Crack~!!!"

Seeing this, the team members also applauded.

"Thank you everyone~!!!"

After Lan Shengli clapped his palms, he suddenly bowed deeply to the crowd and spoke sincerely at the same time.

When the team members saw this, they were more or less hesitant, not sure what the purpose of Lan Shengli was.

"Maybe everyone doesn't know the importance of the outcome of this game to me. Since we won the game, we will enjoy the victory of the game. I don't want to say anything else~"

Lan Shengli looked at the crowd and continued talking.

The team members just listened and didn't say anything.

After all, only a few people know about Sterling's previous "threat theory".

"Although we won, I want to remind you that~ we have no home court advantage~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, the relaxed expressions of the team members became tense again.

"The current series with the Nuggets has become a best-of-five game. The opponent has three home games, and we only have two. Therefore, although the big score is one to one, in fact, we are still At a disadvantage~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"Especially the plateau home court of the Nuggets, it is quite a challenge~"

Lan Shengli added.

"So I want you to know that winning a game doesn't mean anything. The opponent beat us by 18 points in the last game, and we won back by 19 points, which shows that the strength of our two teams is equal to each other. And after going through the trials of the two games, I think both sides already know each other very well, which will make the game more intense~!!!”

Lan Shengli explained.

"So enjoy the moment of winning here~, although I know this game is the first win of many of you in the playoffs, including me, it is a memorable night, but we still have There are a lot of things to do, and we have to prepare for the next small goal~!!"

Lan Shengli said with firm eyes.

"What target~?!"

Upon hearing this, Little Jordan immediately asked.

"Of course it is to regain the home court advantage~!"

Lan Shengli continued to respond.

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, the team members immediately became serious.

"The home court advantage we lost with our own hands, we must fight it back with our own hands~!!, Even if it is an away game, I believe that you can win each other. For this small goal, let us start working, put the past games aside, and have a good time. Get ready for battle~!"

The time for Lan Shengli to give a speech arrived so quietly.
