In the second half of the second quarter, Li Liang was finally able to sit off the court and rest for a while.

The two elders of Xuan Ming from the Lakers backcourt have come back, and the pressure on the Clippers' defense line has increased dramatically.

Negro immediately replaced Crawford and replaced Willy Green and Butler, and he didn't dare to use Billups too much.

After the two elders of Xuanming got on, the Lakers played more unrestrained on the offensive end. Kobe and Nash both had the right to fire anytime and anywhere.

As soon as Nash came up, he hit the iron first with a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Then, Butler stepped out of bounds during the offense.

Nash took the ball and fought back, killing the basket in one-stop, causing Jordan Jr. to foul.

The two elders Xuanming have very strong lethality.

Nash made both free throws.

The Lakers continued to maintain the lead advantage of about 5 points, but they were just trying to beat the Clippers.

In the defensive match, after Li Liang went down, Howard came to defend Griffin himself.

After Griffin got the ball in the low post, he turned to the top and tried to get rid of Howard, but after turning around, the front throw was interfered by Howard.

Howard got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Nash.

Nash slowly cut in with the help of double covers on the outside. After observing for a while, he suddenly passed the ball in the crack to Howard who was walking down.

Howard caught the ball and made a layup, causing Griffin to foul.

Griffin was a little miserable today and felt that he was always bullied.

Howard had two free throws, and the Clippers wanted to play fast balls. This time Kobe defended Paul and suppressed the rhythm.

Paul passed the ball to Butler, and the Clippers could not play any effective tactics at this time.

In the end, Butler made a strong shot against Ci Shiping, without even touching the basket.

Howard scored the rebound, Nash played as fast as he did and rushed through the half as the wind.

Paul defends one and two on the Clippers, and there is another one that is Kobe!

Nash passed the ball directly to Kobe, and Kobe dribbled away, then made a quick stop and a jump shot!

Show it, the fast break uses a backward jump shot, and there is only Paul in front of him.

Paul didn't even have a chance to foul this ball.

Li Liang sat on the bench and saw Kobe's operation like this, he was very dissatisfied. He learned from me, and he learned from me one by one, so you can copy it!

Negro called for a short pause, and the two elders Xuanming couldn't stop it.

After a season of running-in, Kobe and Nash's cooperation was sublimated in the playoffs.

The two in the regular season have also been criticized for their defensive problems.

In the playoffs, the defensive intensity has increased, and the offensive efficiency of each team has declined.

At this time, the high efficiency of the two elders on the offensive end became extremely precious.

Both of them have excellent shooting ability, good passing ability, and can support the tactical system alone, and have huge three threats.

In this way, the two players are on the court, but they are in good condition.

The Clippers' defense is unavailable, and there will always be loopholes.

In addition, Howard was eating cakes in the interior and wiping the two elders' butts on the defensive end, the Lakers' offense and defense became more and more stable.

After Kobe pretended to be this, Paul took the ball and fought back, killing the basket from the middle.

He collided directly with Howard, twisting his body in the air and throwing the ball towards the basket.

The referee whistled, and Howard blocked the foul.

The ball was bumped into the basket a few times and fell into it

Score three points!

Paul has no choice but to do it. The team attack cannot be done, so he can only do it himself.

Added penalty hit.

But Kobe did not let Paul be the only one. He immediately took the ball and accelerated the basket, made a foul, and had to have a free throw.

The two sides entered a stalemate.

The Lakers are more at ease in the offense, while the Clippers basically can only watch Paul.

The second quarter is about to end, and the Lakers lead the Clippers by 6 points.

The Clippers have a very difficult fight, and their offensive efficiency has not improved, and they cannot make attacking waves.

Butler Griffin's touch was malfunctioning, and he failed to make a few jump shots from the outside.

The Lakers are not too slow, and Li Liang has returned to the court to replace Gasol.

Nash used Li Liang's solid cover to break into the basket from the right, and then hit a right-handed throw against Paul!

58:50! It’s 8 points!

The difference in points doesn't seem to be big, but it makes people feel desperate.

Because the Clippers cannot attack a continuous combination of punches, they can only chase them east and west, and chase them hard behind them.

They have been speeding up and have been trying to use their speed to break the Lakers' defense.

But the Lakers have good defensive discipline and are not brought up by Paul at all.

This is thanks to Mike Brown, after all, it was fought in the Eastern Conference and has a good idea of ​​how to train defense.

Especially in terms of controlling the rhythm, Brown always ensures that Ci Shiping and Li Liang have one of them on the court and can control the field and defend the game in the middle.

The Clippers' wings are not afraid of it. It doesn't matter if you let Butler Barnes shoot, and it doesn't matter if you occasionally make a few.

As for the Clippers, do you dare to let Li Liang throw him?

This is still the inconsistency between the lineup and the style of play, and the Clippers are still making mistakes in the end.

After Nash made a throw shot, Griffin hurriedly took the ball to the bottom line.

Because they have to serve quickly if they want to play fast.

As a result, Griffin was too hasty and the ball was intercepted by Li Liang!

It's Li Liang again!

After the steal was successful, Li Liang did not attack by himself, but stabilized and handed the ball to Nash to reorganize the attack.

The last minute of the second quarter was exhausted by the Lakers.

Although the Lakers did not succeed in this offense, the Clippers also lost the opportunity to chase points.

At the end of the half, at 58:50, the Clippers trailed by 8 points.

At the beginning of the second half, the Clippers' impulse in the first quarter was gone again.

This is true in all three games. At the beginning, when I found out that I couldn't beat it, I felt weak.

Griffin tried to pass the ball to Jordan and played the stewardess, but was persecuted by Li Liang.

With me, Li Liang, you dare to play as a flight attendant?

The Lakers completely slowed down and compressed the offensive time to about 20 seconds.

Howard's inefficient and low-level singles were completely abandoned, and Howard purely began to be a blue-collar worker.

Kobe and Nash are in charge, and the two start to make goals for Li Liangci Shiping and Howard.

The two of them passed the ball in a mess and they started to play.

Kobe did not look at the pass, Nash hit the ground behind the ground, Kobe made a super long pass across the whole game to Howard for a layup, Nash made a super low pass in the middle, and Ci Shiping received the ball and made a layup under the basket.

On the Clippers' side, Paul was struggling to support and scored with a three-point mid-range jump shot.

But his pass was completely curbed and he could not drive his teammates. The Clippers were proud of the third-line fast break and counterattack wave, basically no one of them was played.

After Jordan received the ball at the basket, he turned around with a beautiful ball holding it, and took the small hook in his left hand under the basket.

As a result, I was blown away.

Howard laughed, is it that you are still using your skills to turn around?

But the Clippers have not collapsed yet because Paul is still breathing a sigh of relief.

At the end of the third quarter, Paul had scored 25 points, including 3 three-pointers.

Clippers: 72, 9 points behind.

In the fourth quarter, Negro was at a loss. After replacing Griffin, he used Turiav.

Negro is really Sima, and he always hopes that a player will suddenly explode and a miracle will happen.

NBA does have miracles, but miracles cannot happen just by just one person.

The result of Turiav playing was that he was beaten by Paul Gasol twice in a row in the rotation stage in the crucial fourth quarter.
