NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

Looking back

Leonard took the ball from Rubio and continued to force Grant.

Facing a one-on-one expert like him, Grant obviously felt a strong sense of oppression and was actually distracted, allowing him to easily break into the penalty area.

Ye Huan had to come over to assist from the flank, but he still took a step back.

Leonard had already received the ball and made a quick stop jump shot with a fade away. Ye Huan could only sigh in despair.

"Shh!"

The mid-range two-point jump shot was hit steadily.

After scoring, Leonard looked at Ye Huan sharply, and without saying a word, he went straight back to defense.

Clippers round!

Falling into a positional battle, Ye Huan received the pass from Westbrook at the corner position with his back to the basket. Facing Leonard's defense, Ye Huan directly chose to pull up!

Leonard flew over and tried to block the shot.

But Ye Huan shot very quickly, and the basketball instantly flew over their heads and fell towards the basket.

"Shh!"

A solid hit!

After completing this goal, Ye Huan still did not celebrate too much.

Because this is just the beginning!

The latter part of the second quarter almost became a public execution of Leonard and Devin Booker by Ye Huan on both offense and defense.

On the offensive end, Leonard was helpless against Ye Huan.

On the defensive end, Ye Huan's assist put invisible pressure on Booker and Leonard.

The Clippers' No. 23 easily and happily dominated both offense and defense.

The comprehensive performance also helped the team lead the opponent by 14 points at the end of the first half.

"In the first game of the new season, Ye Huan showed no mercy to the Phoenix Suns!"

"This also shows the Los Angeles Clippers' attitude towards the new season. They will not show any mercy to their opponents!!"

At the end of the first half, the Clippers, playing at home, scored 68 points.

Ye Huan scored 30 points alone!

"In addition to the still terrifying Ye Huan, we also need to pay special attention to Westbrook!"

Although Smith boasted about Ye Huan, he still felt a little unsatisfied.

But O'Neal next to him changed the subject:

"The Clippers acquired Westbrook through a big trade this summer."

"With almost no sense of presence, he has already scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, a near triple-double."

If it weren't for the technical statistics on the TV screen, the two commentators really wouldn't have believed it.

In the first half when Ye Huan's presence was very strong, Westbrook still delivered a near triple-double.

Intermission

Inside the visiting team's locker room

Monty Williams wants to say something.

But I don’t know where to start.

According to common sense, he should be furious when his team was beaten by the opponent in the season opener.

But did the players on the team really perform so badly in the first half?

The answer is of course: Not bad!

Booker and Leonard both showed their talents on the offensive end.

But these two met Ye Huan who was more powerful than them!

"Coach, what should we do in the second half!?"

As the halftime break was about to end, the Suns assistant coach reminded Monty: "What changes should we make in the second half?"

Change!?

What else needs to be changed!?

Even if God came, Monty felt that the team's performance in the first half was already very good.

But the team is now trailing by double digits after all, so as the head coach I still have to say something.

“We just need to do a little better in the second half!”

Tapping the tactical board in his hand, Monty said seriously: "We need to strengthen our defense against Ye Huan on the defensive end!"

After briefly emphasizing the targeted defense against Ye Huan, the game continued.

George entered the basket without the ball and received the pass from Rubio, then tried to attack the basket against Adams' long arms.

Adams was not afraid at all and gritted his teeth and pushed forward, pressing him under the basket and successfully defending him.

But George didn't care. After grabbing the offensive rebound, he attacked the basket again and slammed the basketball down!

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and after succeeding, George roared at Adams.

"Man, you're still so weak!"

Aquaman smiled silently and didn't bother with George.

When he saw his teammate Ye Huan also break into the basket and force Saric's hand and get a free throw, he was very happy.

brothers!

Thank you for leaving, which gives us the opportunity to partner with Ye Huan!

At this point in the game, any spectator can see that the Suns are still no match for the Clippers.

This gap is no longer a problem that can be made up at the tactical level.

This is a double crush from the player level to the tactical level.

finally

There was no more trouble throughout the game.

The transformation from Tyronn Lue's frown to a smile.

The Clippers' lead also increased from single digits to double digits, and finally to 24 points at the end of the game.

"The Los Angeles Clippers' performance in the season opener was perfect!"

"They didn't give the Phoenix Suns any chance to breathe!"

"From the first quarter, they broke through the opponent's defense in one fell swoop!"

"This gap is comprehensive. The Suns, who have the Big Three, urgently need to make adjustments!"

After the game was over, O'Neal and Smith in the commentary booth began to summarize the game.

The Suns lost for two reasons:

1. The Big Three are not in good working order

2. Poor defense

"The team still has a lot of room for improvement, and today's game exposed many problems!"

In the post-match interview, the team's head coach Monty forced a smile: "But, in fact, we really like playing against a strong team like the Clippers!"

“Playing against them always allows the players in the team to discover their own shortcomings and thus improve further.”

"If I could, I would even play against the Los Angeles Clippers in every game!"

Good guy!

Monty is planning to use the Clippers as tools!

Playing against you in every game?

How can you think so beautifully!

But on the other hand, what Monty said makes sense.

Playing chess with a stinky trash will only make you stinkier.

Playing against masters every day will significantly improve your chess skills.

of course

The premise of this thing is that you can't let your mentality be broken by a master!

It is clear

Whether it is Leonard, Mamba's designated successor Devin Booker, or Paul George who performed poorly today.

The Phoenix Big Three are not the kind of players who can be easily defeated!
