NBA bench saves national team

The Clippers head coach glanced at the bench and dismissed the idea.

There are only Crawford and Barnes on the bench, Bledsoe, and the Lakers will Odom.

But since entering the playoffs, Odom's performance has plummeted, and his hips have been pulled endlessly, which made the head coach keep shortening his playing time.

Crawford is left as a player who focuses on offense and light defense.

As for Matt Barnes, he is a villain-type player, and he is also very hard-working on defense, but there is still no hope for Qin Feng.

Because Barnes was severely abused by Qin Feng once, he still has a psychological shadow now.

A small change in defense can only allow players to strengthen their offense. As long as it matches the offense of the Lakers, there is still hope for this game.

Pause back.

The Clippers gave the offensive ball to Griffin in the penalty area more intensively, continuing to magnify their advantage.

This approach has indeed worked.

Griffin showed his prowess in the penalty area and scored consecutively to help the Clippers stabilize the situation.

After playing for another two or three minutes, both sides began to make substitutions and adjustments.

The Lakers played Dayao, Jamison, and Jrue Holiday, and replaced Gasol, Anderson, and Lowry.

Only two superstars, Qin Feng and Kobe, were left in the starting lineup.

Cole's substitutions are very interesting, and people can't guess their purpose at all, but there are often unexpected surprises in the substitutions, which can be called a stroke of genius.

The Clippers replaced two veteran players, Butler and Billups, and replaced two backup champions, Crawford and Matt Barnes.

All the Big Three stayed on the court, which shows the cautiousness of the Clippers coach.

The two sides once again entered the confrontational battle.

With the addition of Crawford, a super offensive point, the burden on Griffin is much smaller, and he will devote part of his energy to defense.

Although the ability to assist defense is mediocre due to the short wingspan, his individual defense, switch defense, and supplementary defense are still very powerful.

Under Griffin's defense, the two power forwards, Anderson and Jamison, didn't have any outstanding performances.

The first quarter is over.

27: 38.

The Lakers scored 38 points in a single quarter, holding an 11-point lead.

秦风一人就10投7中，三分球5投3中，罚球4分4中，砍下了21分5篮板3助攻1抢断。

科比则是6投4中，三分球3投1中，罚球2罚2中，得到11分。

The two scored 32 points in a single quarter.

For the Clippers, Griffin scored 16 points in a single quarter, more than half of the team's points, which can be said to support the team's offense in a single quarter.

Butler and Billups, two veterans, made 2 of 0 shots and 3 of 1 shots respectively, scoring a total of 2 points in a single quarter.

The performance was appalling.

After a short intermission.

The second quarter begins.

Both sides are substitutes.

The Clippers have former Lakers players Turiaf and Odom, plus Bledsoe, Crawford, and Matt Barnes.

This lineup looks strong, but it is actually weak.

Turiaf is completely a soy sauce center, useless on the offensive end, he can only grab rebounds as a cover.

Odom's state has declined sharply. This season's playoffs averaged only 5.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. The data can be said to have shrunk across the board.

The remaining Bledsoe plays very fiercely, but it is too fierce, which sometimes makes some offensive choices very unreasonable, which affects the entire team.

So the Clippers can only count on Crawford and Barnes on the bench.

Fortunately, Crawford averaged 18 points per game to support the scene, otherwise the Clippers' bench lineup would be one of the worst in the league.

The Lakers' bench is one of the strongest in the league.

Dayao, Williams, Artest, and Jrue Holiday are all very strong.

The main point of attack for the Clippers is Crawford.

On the Lakers side is Williams.

After the two fought each other for a few rounds, Williams took the lead in passing the ball and assisted Dayao and Artest to score.

For the Clippers, Crawford passed twice, but failed to score, so he started playing singles again.

But his offensive efficiency is also gradually scaring.

After playing for a little over 3 minutes, the Lakers played a 12:6 climax, opening the point difference to 17 points.

See here.

The Clippers head coach urgently replaced Paul to preside over the team's offense.

After his debut, Paul was like a god, hitting two three-pointers in a row, narrowing the point difference to 11 points again.

Some Clippers fans at the scene also cheered loudly with excitement.

In the eyes of Clippers fans, Paul is the light of hope for this team!

They desperately hope that Sao Paulo can lead the team to get a championship ring.

The Lakers offensive round.

Louis Williams broke into the penalty area for a layup after dribbling the ball for half the court, but by looking at his actions, it was clear that his purpose was not to really want to make a layup, but to foul early.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

Odom's hand still fell.

beep.

The referee's whistle blows.

Williams gets to the free throw line.

At the same time, when he made free throws, Phil began to make substitutions and adjustments, replacing four main players, Qin Feng, Gasol, Anderson, and Lowry.

After Louis Williams completed the free throw, he played two more rounds and was replaced by Phil in a dead ball.

Kobe comes on.

The Lakers' full starting lineup.

The same is true for the Clippers.

It was clear to both sides that the next four to five minutes would be crucial.

Especially the Clippers, there is a sense of urgency.

If the point difference cannot be narrowed to single digits at the end of the half, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to them in the second half of the game.

It was Chris Paul who stepped forward again, using the screen to break through to the penalty area and make two mid-range shots.

Steady as an old dog.

But the Lakers responded quickly.

Qin Feng took the lead in breaking out, first made a three-pointer, and then used the [Durant Death Jumper] skill to make a mid-range shot.

Scored 5 points in a row.

Open the score again.

However, the Lakers' offensive performance is not over yet.

After Qin Feng briefly turned off the fire, Kobe stood up again, hit a jumper with a back-up single, and broke through to the penalty area in one round against Griffin's defense and hit a layup, showing his abnormal ability to stay in the air.

The Clippers are a bit misfired.

Griffin made two consecutive shots in the penalty area and missed.

The first half is over.

53: 69.

The Lakers lead by 16 point.

The long intermission is over.

The second half of the game begins.

The Lakers changed the starting lineup and directly put Qin Feng in the starting lineup.

in this way.

The lineup of the Lakers is Qin Feng, Gasol, Artest, Kobe, Lowry!
