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

End of first quarter

The Los Angeles Clippers, playing at home, once again scored a high score of 42 points.

The Boston Celtics were not far behind, scoring 36 points in the first quarter, just five points behind the Clippers.

"It is worth mentioning that Ye Huan scored 24 points in the first quarter today. This is the nth time in his career that he has scored more than 20 points in the first quarter!"

During the intermission, Smith looked at the technical statistics and said, "With all due respect, no one can compare to Ye Huan in the first quarter!"

"Not even Michael Jordan, the God of Basketball!"

Barkley on the side also took over the conversation: "He is the real king of the first quarter!"

The Celtics also performed well today.

Jayson Tatum made 11 of 7 shots and contributed a not low 16 points.

Jaylen Brown, another of the two top picks, also scored 10 points.

Horford scored 6 points and 6 rebounds in the interior, a mini double-double.

Even Smart, the team's smart guy who has never been good at scoring, made two three-pointers in the first quarter and contributed 8 points.

"Fake!"

At the same time, Robertson, who was sitting on the bench, wiped his sweat helplessly: "Jaylen Brown is full of fake moves!"

Jaylen Brown's one-on-one ability can be said to have always been underestimated.

Maybe it's not just his one-on-one ability, but his entire personality is underestimated.

Even Robertson, who is known as a defensive iron gate, had some difficulties on the defensive end.

You can imagine its strength!

"Robertson, your defense is already very good!"

Ye Huan patted Robertson on the shoulder: "This is enough!"

What made Ye Huan happy was that when Robertson was defending Jaylen Brown, even if he couldn't defend him, he tried his best in every round.

Jaylen Brown can score, but it will be uncomfortable.

"Jason, your junior is really extraordinary!"

On the other side, on the Celtics bench, Brown first mentioned Ye Huan: "He is really strong!"

"And Robertson, although he couldn't defend me, he made me feel uncomfortable every time."

Brown then showed his high emotional intelligence in front of Tatum: "If the team wants to win, it all depends on you!"

have to say

Before signing the first contract in NBA history, Jaylen Brown was willing to play the supporting role next to Tatum.

If the Boston Celtics want to win, the top credit must go to Tatum.

"Jalen, trust me!"

Tatum will certainly not disappoint his teammates: "Not only will I lead the team to win the game, I will also crush Ye Huan in terms of statistics!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, the substitute lineup led by Anthony and Rose fought fiercely with the Celtics.

Here, Rose took advantage of Cousins' pick-and-roll to break into the penalty area and make a layup.

Looking back, Hayward took advantage of Lowe's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc and stepped back to hit a three-pointer.

Anthony trains the defender at the corner position and makes a mid-range jump shot, and Hayward will return a three-pointer on the offensive end!

The substitute lineups of both teams fought fiercely and both teams gained points rapidly.

Halfway through the second quarter, the home team Los Angeles Clippers still maintained a 59:50 lead, but the score difference was now 9 points!

"Beep!"

The game entered an official timeout in the second quarter, and the head coaches of both teams explained their team tactics.

Then, the pause ends

The Clippers and Celtics both changed the configuration of players on the field very tacitly.

The Celtics kept the hot-tempered Hayward and replaced him with a small lineup consisting of two top picks, Kemba Walker and Smart.

The Clippers' lineup also impressed Smith.

Westbrook + Rose + Grace Allen + Grant and Ye Huan!

"The Los Angeles Clippers lowered their altitude midway through the second quarter."

Smith in the commentary booth was a little surprised: "The choice of coach Tyronn Lue is a little surprising!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time the Los Angeles Clippers have used the next lineup this season!"

As Smith puts it:

This is indeed the first time the Los Angeles Clippers have used a small lineup this season.

The Clippers' death lineup really left a deep mark on the league last season.

After all, the Clippers only had Lopez in the interior last season, and that was it.

But this season, the Clippers' inside reserves can be said to be extremely deep, and the rotation of Aquaman Adams + Cousins ​​is enough to look down on any team in the league.

The backcourt combination of Westbrook + Rose and the forward combination of Ye Huan, Grant and Grace Allen will indeed allow the team to speed up the pace of the game on the offensive end.

But the problem is that the most critical part of the transition offense is to be able to defend against the opponent's offense and protect the defensive rebounds.

This will create more transition offense.

Can the current Clippers lineup really limit the offensive firepower of the Celtics' five-small lineup? ?

First round after the break!

The Clippers gave the answer!

The Celtics attack the ball.

Kemba Walker quickly dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Hayward.

At this time, Hayward, who had just returned from a serious injury, obviously no longer had the title of "the strongest white man".

Facing Ye Huan's defense, he chose to call for a pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll ended, he decisively chose to pass the ball to Tatum who was cutting to the basket.

Tatum resisted Grant for a while.

To be honest, in a purely physical confrontation, Tatum really couldn't gain any advantage against Grant.

After resisting twice and failing, Tatum simply stood up without any effort, relying on his height and wingspan advantage to force Grant to take down.

"Oh!"

But the next moment!

Behind Tatum, a pair of ruthless big hands slapped the basketball out of his hands.

The basketball flew out, hit the backboard heavily, and bounced into Rose's hands.

"It's Ye Huan!!!"

The Clippers counterattacked in the frontcourt, and Smith in the commentary booth was still reviewing the previous defensive round: "Incredible defensive speed!"

"Ye Huan once again demonstrated his defensive abilities!"

"To be honest, many fans think that the winner of last season's Defensive Player of the Year should be Ye Huan, not Giannis!!"

On the field

Rose and Westbrook played a wonderful combination in the counterattack frontcourt.

After passing three players in a row, Phoenix City Rose broke into the three-point line, flicked her wrist lightly, and Westbrook on the wing took off into the air, caught the ball with one hand in the air, and then dunked with both hands!!!

“Wuhu!!”

"No one would have thought that they would have the honor of seeing Rose and Westbrook's alley-oop connection in an NBA game!"

"That's right. As two people who were once given high hopes, some of them have been plagued by injuries and some have been questioned by the outside world!"

"But all this failed to stop them from moving forward!!!"

The connection between Phoenix Rose and Oklahoma Young Master.

Now, isn’t it also a lie?
