King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 195

After the first quarter, the Kings still led the Clippers by a weak 4 points, but when they recovered the 5 points gap, their core Griffin last year was on the bench and watched the second half of the quarter. The teammates on the field played smoothly without him, and he felt that he was redundant.

Seeing Griffin's gloomy look, Denagro knew that this young player had been hit. It would be fine if it was normal, but in occasions like the opening game and the Christmas game, he was still facing the same situation as the previous one. It is inevitable for a team that snatched away the best rookie this season, but it is inevitable that Griffin can find his position in this game. After all, the team has an extra top point guard. .

"Now the team has become stronger. Your speed is very fast and your impact is very strong. These are your advantages in the 4th position. When you hold the ball, these advantages can be displayed. Naturally, the off-ball end is also the same. De Nagro left such a sentence and waited for the player Griffin to comprehend it by himself. I believe that the No. 09 pick in [-] will not let him down.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Griffin was no longer in a daze without the ball on the offensive end, but began to actively run and pick and roll. Paul couldn't get rid of He Yixiang, who had made great defensive progress this season. After Griffin stepped forward to pick and roll, he quickly went down after Paul passed the first step.West rushed forward at this moment. He knew that there was a high probability that the ball would pass a lob, but at the same time, he also understood that the ball could not be missed. Paul's point guard shooting ability is also extremely strong.He Yixiang will take care of the behind-the-scenes affairs!

Paul passed the ball decisively, and the basketball flew over West's palm, and at the same time, it also flew over the interception by He Yixiang, who was struggling to take off, and fell into Griffin's hands just right. Take a look at the emotions suppressed by West in the last quarter.

"Beautiful pass, this pass is really beautiful! He has already jumped high enough, but for this ball, it still slid across his palm." Barkley roared loudly, "and From Griffin dunking the ball, we can see that he took the ball quite easily."

The Kings are also a team that is very good at lobs. Since they were caught in such a cruel lob, they will naturally have to fight back. He Yixiang must not be discouraged when facing Paul, who is the best defensive team, and directly crossed left and right. After two times, he suddenly broke through from the left side quickly. Paul didn't react at once. In today's game, He Yixiang was more about passing the ball, and rarely made a breakthrough. In the end, he only had time to reach out. Will not let this happen.

It was the same pass, the same beautiful dodge of the defending palm, and the same beautiful dunk. This goal excited the fans of the Kings. They applauded and shouted: "The name of the lob team! It’s ours, so don’t try to take it away easily.”

The Clippers don't care about the opinions of the Kings players. Griffin used his speed to get rid of West's entanglement.

The Kings are also not to be outdone. After West played a pick-and-roll without the ball for Iguodala, He Yixiang threw it. Paul, who has a huge height gap, couldn't stop such a pass, so he had to watch the ball helplessly. It was passed to the jumping Iguodala and buckled in.

"My God, what do these two teams want to do? Do they want to win the top ten balls for Christmas?" Smith couldn't help but exclaimed. If it wasn't for the Heat with Janeway's connection, he would have doubted this match. There will be more lobs in the game than all other games combined.

The two sides did not give in to each other, but He Yixiang began to choose to get closer and closer, trying to use his height and wingspan to prevent Paul from passing the ball into the inside lane. Unexpectedly, Paul slipped and took advantage of He Yixiang's opportunity to directly pass from the inside. He Yixiang's armpit broke through, and at the same time rushed to the basket to pull the ball under the interference with Whiteside, watching the end of Paul's small but capable body after the confrontation.He Yixiang shook his head, feeling a little helpless about being broken through. He had to say that this was a very beautiful goal, and shortness has its advantages.

Of course, at his own home court, He Yixiang couldn't lose face either. Looking back, he was also singles Paul with the ball at the top of the arc. He Yixiang's height is seldom compared to that of the point guards, and this kind of turning and leaning back is what he stole from Wade when he played against the Heat last year. This move is not any more effective against Paul, who is more than ten centimeters shorter.

"These two point guards are on the same page. First they are lobs, and now they are personal abilities. They really can't give in to each other! The two of them should belong to two of the five best point guards in the league!" Seeing this scene, Smith couldn't help complaining.

Even the famous He Hei Barkley couldn't refute this sentence. He looked down at the data sheet and said reluctantly: "Paul has 8 points and 7 assists, and He Yixiang has 12 points and 5 assists. The performances of the two teams are indeed similar. "

The fans of the Kings are also struggling to cheer for their team and their Kings. They hope to have a good start in such a home court, and He Yixiang can continue to suppress this long-established point guard like last season .

In the second half of the second quarter, the two sides also tacitly replaced the leading point guard. The second team of both sides is also playing well, but the Clippers' second team also has a true playmaker Billow Puth, whether it's Iguodala or Udri, the king's field control ability is insufficient compared to this former FMVP, and the king was overtaken instead. Fortunately, the king's three-point shooting rate is not bad today. Iguodala and Casspi hit key [-]-pointers before the final half.

With Griffin's last strong kill at the basket, Cousins' defensive block was fanned out of the basket, and the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The Kings and Clippers ended the first half with a 57 tie. Intense competition, such a suffocating Christmas battle is also very enjoyable for fans of both sides to watch.Especially for Kings fans, there is no more exciting thing to see on the spot that the team has still made significant progress compared to the previous season.
