Chapter 887 The Price of Growth (Part [-])
The Clippers have played against the defending champion and city brother the Lakers twice this season.

In the opening game, the Clippers were reversed by the Lakers by 15 points.

After that, at the Clippers' home court, the Lakers won again with a crushing attitude.

Because the two teams belong to the Pacific Division, the two sides will play against each other twice during the regular season.

Now the third round of the two sides has come to the last moment.

Unlike the previous two matches where there was basically no suspense in the final moments of the fourth quarter, this time the score between the two sides was very tight.

The Clippers, who have lost seven games in a row, are competing with the defending champion in a state of "put to death and survive".

With 38 seconds remaining from the end of the game, Bynum received a pass from Kobe and dunked the ball into the basket. 91:86, the Lakers led the Clippers by 5 points.

Lan Shengli called a timeout.

"There are 38 seconds left, we are behind by 5 points, and we need to play two rounds, so we must score a goal in the fastest time for our next attack, two points and three points are fine, get it~!"

This time, Lan Shengli did not use a hasty tone, but spoke to the players in a very calm and calm state.

Perhaps Lan Shengli also wanted to use this calm state to calm down the players.

At this time, it is even more necessary to calm down in order to perform well.

"We serve the ball from the backcourt. If the opponent is pressing all the way, Jordan will cover Harden and let him catch the ball. Hill, you serve the ball from the baseline~!!"

Lan Shengli began to arrange things.

Because he is not sure about Zen master's defensive strategy at this time, Lan Shengli must predict all possible situations.

"Harden catches the ball and passes to the frontcourt quickly, and Novak here does the pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Novak immediately bounces to the wing. At this time, if the Lakers double-team Harden, Harden, you pass the ball out. , to Novak~!! Then shoot directly~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to draw the tactical board while talking.

"If we score, we will press the defense directly on the spot and force the opponent to make mistakes. If we fail to steal the ball, we will return to the half-court defense. Don't foul. Be sure to pay attention to Kobe's position, Johnson Main defense, Hill gives up Fisher at any time, and goes to assist defense~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to exhort.

"If you don't score, immediately take a foul on the ball holder, don't hesitate, foul directly~!"

As Lan Shengli spoke, his emotions gradually became agitated, and his voice gradually became louder.

"Remember, the ball must be scored within 8 seconds or less, because the opponent has another attack, so we have to leave as much time as possible for the last attack~!!!"

Lan Shengli continued to remind.

The referee here has already urged on the sidelines.

During this timeout, Lan Shengli did not keep his mouth idle.

"The key ball at this critical moment is the most test for young players, and it is the moment for young players to grow the most. Come on~!"

Lan Shengli handed the tactical board to the assistant coach, and watched the players return to the field one after another, thinking to himself.

"Come on, look at this critical moment, what kind of tactics will Bruce arrange~?!, such a moment may be more of a test for the coach~"

The general manager of the Clippers here also paid attention to the game and sighed.

"The opponent doesn't need to press hard, Harden, dribble quickly across the half court, don't make any mistakes~!!!"

Seeing the position of the Lakers players, Lan Shengli immediately yelled at Harden.

Harden looked at Lan Shengli and nodded.

The fans here are already standing and watching the game.

Hill served, Harden took the ball and quickly came to the half court, everything was going on according to the tactics formulated by Lan Shengli.

"What, use Novak to play the pick-and-roll, do you want to hand the ball to Novak at such a critical moment~?!"

Zen master looked at the quick pick-and-roll tactics with Novak and became puzzled.

I saw that after Harden and Novak made a pick-and-roll cooperation here, Harden saw the Lakers players double-team himself, and immediately gave the ball horizontally to Novak.

Novak, who received the ball, made a three-point shot directly from an open three-point line on the wing.

Perhaps the Lakers players did not expect that Novak would execute this offense.

"Swipe~!!!"

The big-hearted Novak showed his true qualities as a killer. He hit a three-pointer steadily and narrowed the point difference to two points.

The main reason is that it only took five seconds to attack the Clippers this time.

Even if the Lakers used up 24 seconds later, the Clippers still had 9 seconds left.

But the premise is to defend against the Lakers' next offense.

Novak's three-pointer kept the Clippers' hope of winning.

Here Zen Master chose to trust the players, instead of calling a timeout, he let the game continue.

"Pay attention to double-teaming Kobe, don't foul easily, protect the rebound, and the rebound will get stuck~!!!"

Lan Shengli yelled at the players to remind them that they were about to enter the arena.

"Is it really going to be reversed~?! Haha, at least Blue's offensive tactic just now was successful, it depends on how the defense goes~"

The general manager sighed.

The Lakers didn't seem to have any tactics. Kobe dribbled the ball and wasted time. In the final stage, he forced a three-pointer against the two Clippers defenders.

"Dangdang~!!!"

The ball missed a lot, and Jordan took off the rebound steadily.

Seeing this, Lan Shengli immediately rushed into the field and called out the Clippers' last timeout of the game.

With 7.2 seconds left in the clock, the Clippers trailed by two points and had possession of the ball.

The Clippers have a chance to tie or kill the defending champion.

"DeAndre off, Blake up, Johnson upcourt serve~!!, the other four players lined up near the top arc of the free throw line, Smith and Harden screened for Blake and Novak after the drive started , You line up a wall, keep the Lakers players behind, and then Blake and Novak come out to catch the ball~!!"

Lan Shengli seems to have a strategy for this last attack, so after the timeout started, when the players returned to the bench, after the assistants briefly reminded Lan Shengli, Lan Shengli immediately picked up the tactical board, still Kneeling on one knee in front of the players, explaining.

"If the opponent goes out of the screen, Novak will cover for Blake again. We must ensure that the serve is safe and absolutely no mistakes~!!! After Blake receives the ball, Johnson here immediately goes to the field and joins Smith Make another screen for Harden, and at the same time Novak moves to the weak side wing position, attracts the defense, pretends to attack, Blake finally wants to give the ball to Harden~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to arrange, which seemed to be a very complicated tactic.

After all, 7 seconds of attack time is still sufficient, and many things can happen in 7 seconds of attack time.

Can the Clippers use these 7 seconds to end their 7-game losing streak~? !

Pause back~! !
