Chapter 58
One is the second 50-pointer of the season, Isaiah Thomas, who has the reputation of"the strongest 175 on earth", and the other is a super"double-double" of"20+20", a top-five point guard in the league. Rhys Paul.
These two people.
Confronting"The Son of the Chosen""、"Su Hao, the league's most popular rookie"Guard Nemesis", everyone is looking forward to this game!
At the same time, it is precisely because of the outbreak of Thomas and Paul that everyone feels......Su Hao is not a"defender nemesis".
I feel that Su Hao is no match for Paul and Thomas.
That discussion and controversy among fans obviously did not lead to a result, but it invisibly led to a showdown between the Lakers and Clippers, and the Lakers and Celtics.
Popularity soars again......
One day later.
Lakers vs. Clippers, Su Hao vs. Paul, this hot city derby battle is coming with great anticipation!!!
15 minutes before the game.
In the commentary box
""Shark" O'Neal said excitedly:"Su Hao vs. Chris Paul, rookie vs. All-Star, offense vs. series.
Which one is the key to leading the team to victory?
Charles, who do you like more tonight?!"
"Well..."
""Flying Pig" Barkley thought for a while and said,"I am actually more optimistic about the Clippers, because the Clippers' lineup is very good.
In this way.
With the connection of"passing master" Chris, the Clippers have always been very strong in the regular season.
However......The Lakers' momentum has been unstoppable recently. They have won 7 consecutive games without losing a single game this season. Su Hao's performance is incredible. in addition.
Tonight is at the Lakers home court.
With the blessing of various factors, I think......The two teams will be evenly matched tonight. The key to victory lies in the performance of Su Hao and Paul."
"Indeed!"
On the court, the players of both teams were actively warming up. Tonight, this big battle was broadcast live by the outside world, and both teams wanted to win.
"Come on Lakers!"
"The Lakers won 8 games in a row tonight!!!"
Many fans cheered and cheered for the home team. You can also see many shouting fans wearing Lakers jerseys No. 7 and 24.
Wearing the jerseys of Kobe and Su Hao.
For Kobe, this is It is an unusual thing for a small witch to see a big witch, but for Su Hao, who is still just a rookie, this is a manifestation of his popularity. After a while, the warm-up ended and the starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers started.
: Su Hao, Shooting Guard: Kobe, Shooting Guard: Clarkson, Power Forward: Randle, Center: Jokic.
Los Angeles Clippers starting lineup: Point Guard: 183cm Chris Paul, Shooting Guard: 193cm. JJ Redick, small forward: 201cm Paul Pierce, power forward: 208cm Blake Griffin, center: 211cm DeAndre Jordan
"jump ball!"
The ball competition between Jokic and DeAndre Jordan.
DeAndre Jordan, who is at his peak, still has considerable jumping ability. The ball flew away from the basketball before Jokic.
""Pop!"
Redick received the ball and passed it to Paul, who made the first attack for the Clippers.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Paul pushed the ball over, and Su Hao immediately followed. The two of them faced each other in an instant, but......Paul ignored Su Hao.
He wanted to set a screen.
He bypassed Su Hao and faced Kobe on the right wing. Just as he was about to break through, he made a feint and suddenly hit the ground, finding Griffin who was cutting to the left.
"Snapped!"
""Push!"
Griffin grabbed the ball, accelerated with one step, and flew up with one step, directly challenging Jokic. After the mid-air confrontation, he stayed in the air and shot the ball back.
""Shua!" hit
"Assist from Chris Paul!"
"Tsk tsk...""White Monster"'s physical fitness is as good as ever, a typical man who flies in the air and plays ball!"
【Lakers 0:2 Clippers].
Ball possession changes!
"Bang bang bang!"
Kobe pushed over with the ball and faced Redick one-on-one."Truth" Pierce at the end of his career interfered on the wing.
"tread!"
Randall came up to cover.
Kobe bypassed Redick and met Pierce in a misplaced position. He accelerated with one step on the left wing and stopped with the other step, creating a gap with the slower Pierce.
"Wow!"
Fade away jump shot
""Swish!"
It was a steady hit.
In the transition offense, Paul controlled the ball and Su Hao stuck to him again, instantly giving him strength and pressure on the defense.
However, it would not be too big.
Because Su Hao knew that Paul had many tricks. If you pressed too hard, there would be countless ways to make you foul.
In this way,
Su Hao who kept sticking to Paul made Paul very uncomfortable.
However......Griffin came over to provide a screen in time, allowing Paul to bypass Su Hao and rush to the top of the arc on the right side, creating an opportunity
"Whoosh!"
Paul accelerated to the basket, and at the same time.....Looking at Griffin who was coming down from another pick-and-roll, he seemed to be about to pass the ball.
""Be careful of the split!"
Clarkson yelled.
Jokic also noticed Griffin rushing in under the basket and immediately became alert. Then, at this moment, Paul suddenly threw a high ball.
Looking for Griffin?
No!
Looking for the right side of the basket, where Jordan was ignored but had already prepared for an alley-oop.
"Boom!"
Jordan pulls up the onion from the dry land and dunks the ball
"Wow~ Chris’s exquisite pass is really hard to guard against!"
O'Neal couldn't help but sigh.
Barkley also laughed and said:"If I had such a point guard to assist me, or should I say......""Son of the Wind" Nash can come here early.
I can eat as much as I want.
It will be very comfortable to play with such a"passing master".
In addition,......The combination of me and Steve Nash may also allow me to win a championship in my career!"
O'Neal shook four fingers and smiled:"Don't say meaningless words, focus on the game."
"snort!"
Barkley obviously noticed the small movements in O'Neal's hands and glared at him fiercely,"Shaquille, stop yelling!"
On the court.
Lakers possession of the ball
"���Bang bang!"
Su Hao pushed over with the ball and faced Pierce. He directly asked the small forward to defend Su Hao. Su Hao gave the ball to Jokic who was supporting at the top of the arc.
At the same time, he ran without the ball, got rid of Bills, and killed Go to the high post on the right, facing Paul, Jokic also redistributes the basketball to him
"wow! Su Hao is out of position against Chris, eh...Why should I say misplacement? It doesn't matter anymore. Su Hao took the ball and attacked directly.
A confrontation.
Wow~ Chris couldn't resist it at all, and he backed away uncontrollably. Su Hao stopped at the free throw line and took a mid-range shot.
This ball?
Easy hit!"
O'Neal quickly explained
"wow~"
Su Haoqiang's shot from Paul also made the home fans burst into exclamations, as if saying......So what if Paul was defeated by Su Hao?
Su Hao is the"guard nemesis"."!
""Hmph~"
Paul rubbed his chest with a grim face and snorted,"This brute force monster is even more violent than Russell."
He was hurt and scored.
Paul was obviously not happy about being scored on by a rookie so unreasonably, so he pushed the ball over.
This time, when Su Hao came over to defend, he did not want to cover, but wanted to play one-on-one, hit Su Hao alone, and give a positive response.
"Bang bang bang!"
At the top of the left arc, Paul bent down to lower his center of gravity, quickly changed direction with his hips to find rhythm, and read the defense together. The moment he broke through to the left with the ball in his left hand, he changed direction in advance.
He rushed out to the right.
And......Still using the floating ball to accelerate, Paul turned into a whirlwind and instantly accelerated several steps, but he did not walk.
""Swish!"
He rushed to the right side of the free throw line and stopped suddenly, then shot backwards.
Paul had used this trick of changing direction and accelerating to shake off the opponent, and then shooting in the middle. He was very good at it.
However, this time he did not shake off Su Hao.
Or rather,......Su Hao reached full speed and chased after him, and......The moment Paul jumped up, his whole body also jumped up
"Push!"
"Kick!"
The two people took off at the same time.
Jordan's jump of +211 centimeters far exceeded Paul's 194 centimeters wingspan.
Su Hao was like a daytime meteor shot backwards, rushing into the sky in an instant, dominating the sky in an instant, and being a full foot higher than Paul.
So many arms.
"Bang!"
Grabbing the moon in the air, he caught the basketball thrown by Paul!
