357 Three Cannonballs That Got Heartbroken!
Paul was very angry, and the consequences were serious!
He really wants to jump up and hit Zhou Si on the knee now!
He saw the news about Zhou Si's super triple-double in the last game.
In Paul's view, although Zhou Si's passing is also good, it is still much worse than others.
Can the method of using his own powerful offensive power to compress the opponent's defense and then assisting his teammates be comparable to his skillful methods as a court commander?
He is a younger brother!
However, Paul had to admit that Zhou Si's 21 assists were indeed real.
Thinking of this, Paul felt a little angry.
The year before last, he averaged more assists and steals per game than him, so forget about taking his assists and steals title;
Forget about sending him the May 8th Massacre last year;
What does it mean to directly tie his career-high assist record this year?
Now that the new generation of point guards is on the rise, Paul is still recognized as the number one traditional point guard in the league.
But what Zhou Si did now made Paul feel very humiliated and angry.
So on this day, he wanted to give Zhou Si a good look.
Compared with the previous teams in the Western Conference, the Clippers did not make any outstanding reinforcements during the offseason. Rivers, who was signed during the offseason, is also injured and is out. Their current record is only ranked tenth in the Western Conference.
This position is very awkward.
Originally, for Paul, the Western Conference Finals was a hurdle that he couldn't get over, but now it seems that it is even more distant!
Rose's strong rise in the past two years, Westbrook's powerful performance when he led the team alone last season, Curry who often turns on the day-to-day mode this season, and, by the way, Lillard who scored 70 points on them the year before last.
The strong performance this season has put a lot of pressure on Paul!
He knows very well that he, the league's number one point guard, has become the league's number one traditional point guard. If this change continues, first of all, he doesn't know how many years he can stay!
So, tonight, he has agreed with his teammates to help him brush up his data!
Basically they can't beat the Trail Blazers anyway, so why not brush up the data?
Of course, Paul put it politely!
"Tonight, I will try my best to assist you!
If you have a chance to catch my pass, take action decisively!"
Staples Arena, Paul's plan went smoothly after the game started.
Redick was being chased to death by Courtney Lee just as he thought. He didn't even think about Turner being guarded by Zhou Si, and he played pick-and-roll with Griffin and DeAndre Jordan!
O'Neal couldn't help but sigh when he saw all the alley-oop dunks:
"As expected of the famous alley-oop city in the league!"
Barkley continued to hit the target:
"Although the score keeps falling behind."
Although the Clippers trailed by 7 points at 24:31 after the first quarter, Paul got his wish and got 7 assists. He continued his efforts in the second half. The number of assists in this game could completely suppress Zhou Si.
You must know that Zhou Si only had 5 assists in the first quarter.
After Paul came on the court in the second quarter, he continued to provide assists. He did not make a single shot in this game!
Of course, you won't take any shots. It's just like playing support. The mission is to get 20 assists. In a team battle, you accidentally take a shot and kill someone. The last 19 assists are just one assist away. Isn't that a bad thing?
Although the point difference is getting wider and wider, Paul's strategy is really right.
At the half-time break, he had already received 12 assists. Not only did he suppress Zhou Si, but he also hoped to refresh his personal highest assist record!
Of course, it would be even better if he could get 25 assists and surpass that stinky Rajon Rondo!
What Paul hates the most at the point position is Rondo. Every time that guy sees him, he must say:
“The best point guard in the league?
Ha, the younger brother with the highest score of 21 times!”
The two of them have never met in the playoffs, otherwise Paul would have let him know what a cannon warning is under such high intensity!
In the third quarter, Paul continued to assist his teammates, especially Griffin!
Although he is often called a softie in the playoffs, Griffin's strength has actually been on the rise, and he currently has some accuracy in the mid-range.
In the third quarter today, with Paul's assist, he even showed off his mid-range performance!
18 assists after three quarters!
Paul tried not to laugh!
Although he was going to lose this game, everyone saw his efforts!
Another career-high assist data!
Perfect!
"Paul is blatantly collecting assists. Do you want to put restrictions on it?"
Coach Stotts discussed with Zhou Si.
Zhou Si shook his head.
As long as he wins the game, he doesn't really care about records or anything like that.
On the bench, Leonard communicated with several teammates.
Paul looks a bit ugly, and is he serious about using them as targets for data brushing?
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides rotated their lineups, and the two sides still played back and forth. The Trail Blazers firmly controlled the point difference to about 15 points.
After a four-minute pause, both sides replaced their final main force for the final decisive battle.
The Clippers attack first, with Paul and Griffin picking and rolling directly back to Griffin who is rolling outside.
After catching the ball, Griffin was just about to make a mid-range shot when he realized that McGee had already aggressively double-teamed him. With a flick of his short arm, Griffin directly passed the ball to DeAndre Jordan, who was empty in the penalty area.
“Clang——!”
Big hands from DeAndre Jordan!
Griffin and DeAndre Jordan bumped chests as the audience cheered!
This pass and dunk is indeed very beautiful!
Although his arms are short, Griffin's support ability is actually among the best among power forwards!
Paul was very angry when he returned to defense!
In his opinion, Griffin's ball is obviously worth eating!
This cake spitting monster!
Can you win the game by scoring these two points?
cannot!
But if Griffin shoots from mid-range, there is hope that he can get an assist and get closer to the assist record!
After watching the Blazers' offense, Paul became even more angry because after Zhou Si scored a sudden score, he once again assisted Millsap to hit a mid-range hit!
This time it’s two assists!
House seemingly endless rain!
The Clippers attack, Paul picks and rolls and then looks for Griffin!
This time Griffin didn't spit on the cake. Under Paul's sharp eyes, he chose to take a forceful shot even when faced with a double-team.
"boom!"
“Clang——!”
Jordan, who completed the dunk in the penalty area, didn't pay attention to Paul's murderous expression, and happily high-fived Griffin!
Although this time I didn’t feed the cake directly, it was almost the same!
Griffin looked at Jordan who was seeking death and twitched the corner of his mouth. How could someone be so short-sighted?
Trail Blazers offense.
puff!
Paul's heart was stabbed again, and this time he couldn't blame anyone else, because he was a little slow when he was chasing Lillard. Zhou Si assisted Lillard and hit a three-pointer.
point!
It’s okay, I’m still one ahead in assists!
Paul comforted himself in his heart.
This time he didn't look for Griffin, who was being guarded by the Blazers, and turned to look for DeAndre Jordan.
After calling on Jordan to come up for the pick-and-roll, Paul threw the basketball over the basket with a high throw!
Alley-oop dunk, the ball is solid!
Plan passes!
Chapter completed!
