The Los Angeles Clippers have a completely new look in the new season. Compared to the bad team last season, they are really much better.

In this game against the Timberwolves, they were able to withstand the wave of attacks led by Li Feng in time at the beginning, and even had room to counterattack the Timberwolves.

The arrival of Chris Paul not only brought a huge strength bonus to the Los Angeles Clippers, but also gave the Clippers a core and a true leader, finally achieving a qualitative change.

Last season, when Chris Paul was still with the Hornets, he was able to lead the team very well on his own, making the Hornets, whose lineup was not very good, quite competitive. Now the inside teammates around him seem to have become

He is stronger, and the other role players are also quite good. There is no reason why he can't make the Clippers better.

In fact, in the first half of the game, the two teams seemed to be defenseless against each other, and they were frantically competing to see whose offense was sharper. The game was dazzling and exciting, and it was very valuable for the fans.

I was so hooked that I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Therefore, the score played by the two teams was naturally very high, which made people look forward to the second half of the game even more.

Several protagonists in the game also performed very convincingly.

Chris Paul scored 10 points, 7 assists, 2 steals and 3 rebounds in the first half, and his inside partner Blake Griffin also scored 15 points and 5 rebounds. In addition, DeAndre Jordan,

He scored 7 points and 7 rebounds in the half. As for the other Clippers corner players, they also performed very well.

For the Timberwolves, Kevin Love faced off against Blake Griffin. He didn't lose at all in terms of personal data. He successfully scored 16 points and 8 rebounds, which was even better than Griffin.

Slightly more beautiful. Love's inside partner with the Timberwolves, Nikola Pekovic, also scored 8 points and 5 rebounds.

And Li Feng, who should be regarded as the biggest protagonist on the court tonight, is still superior to the others in terms of skills, and his personal limelight overshadows everyone. He took the lead in scoring 20 points in less than 20 minutes of playing time in the first half. 5

The data of rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals will make fans from all over the world feel extremely admired or shocked by him.

Many players may not be able to obtain this kind of personal data even after spending a whole game. He easily obtained it in half-time, which really shocked others.

Of course. Li Feng's incredible performance has existed since the start of the new season and continues to this day. Now he seems to score 20 points in half time, which is completely normal.

This is a phenomenon. If he only scored more than 20 points in any game, many people would probably question his serious decline in condition.

…

After the second half of this game started as scheduled, the players from both sides suddenly worked harder, hoping to win the last regular game before the All-Star Weekend.

The reason why the Timberwolves won the game has long been known to everyone, that is, they hope to win the first half of the Western Conference record, and at the same time help head coach Rambis get the All-Star game coach. As for the Clippers.

The reason why they plan to win this game is actually very good, that is, they also want to further improve the team's record and try to gradually overtake the local rival Lakers in terms of future record.

With the fierce competition in the first half as the basis, the two sides fought against each other in the second half, and sparks continued to fly. They no longer restrained or tested, and directly used 100% of their strength to fight wildly.

Duel!

On the court, on this side, Li Fengcai gave Kevin Love an assist from the outside.

Over there, DeAndre Jordan reached behind the crowd and easily received a deft pass from Chris Paul for a slam dunk.

Li Feng passed the ball to Nikola Pekovic for a dunk and hit the inside. Chris Paul quickly asked Blake Griffin to continue to show his explosive physical fitness to ravage the basket.

Li Feng faced Chris Paul one-on-one and forced a jumper.

Chris Paul turned around and made another close-range change of direction towards him. Then he broke into the basket and completed a layup.

…

At the same time, the other role players on both sides will still seize the opportunity to contribute to the offense of both teams, so that the scoring and offense of both sides are always quite efficient and beautiful.

A high-level duel. Not only did the fans enjoy watching it, but the players themselves also had a great time playing.

However, happy times are always short-lived. As the game continued to progress, the Timberwolves suddenly gradually fell into some troublesome situations.

Perhaps because the Timberwolves are challenging the Los Angeles Clippers on the road, and the opponent Clippers themselves have the home court advantage, it is normal for the whistle to be slightly biased towards the Clippers.

In addition, it may be that Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic were too excited to play. They were a little carried away and couldn't hold back. They were whistled for several personal fouls quickly.

Therefore, the Clippers' two major inside players, Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic, both fell into trouble in the foul trap, and were no longer able to freely confront you as before.

The Clippers attacked wildly.

In other words, they must first work hard to protect themselves and pay more attention to avoid getting new fouls, which is already a bit like tying their hands and losing some of their abilities.

Faced with the sudden predicament of the Timberwolves, the Clippers discovered it in time and took the opportunity to choose to focus on the inside. They frantically attacked the accidentally exposed gap of the Timberwolves, seeming to deliberately make the Timberwolves' insides completely

out of control.

Li Feng was also a little surprised by this dangerous situation on the court. Neither he nor his teammates noticed this situation before. They originally thought that they would have a smooth and fierce battle with the Clippers until the fourth quarter.

Then the winner will be determined based on their respective hot states.

But the plan did not change quickly. Unexpected situations on the court and foul troubles from teammates forced Li Feng to be cautious and choose specific solutions more carefully. He knew very well that head coach Rambis must also be thinking about it.

Solve this problem. However, as the commander on the court, it is his duty to solve this problem.

It's just that after a while, there is no good response plan.

Just when the game soon came to the fourth quarter, Li Feng suddenly felt that there was no need to think of any more solutions. He just took a gamble.

So, after discussing with the head coach and the two parties involved in foul trouble, he allowed them to stay on the court and barely maintain a threat to the Clippers' inside line.

The game has reached this level, and Li Feng will never give up the victory of this game. He will definitely continue to take over the team at the last moment.

There are many ways to take over a team. Li Feng knows almost all of them, and has tried a lot before, with remarkable results.

Therefore, he is still very confident about tonight's situation. He believes that although the Timberwolves' current situation is slightly unlucky, it will not give the Clippers any chance to counterattack.

When there were less than ten minutes left in the game, Li Feng quickly and clearly confirmed that the moment for him to officially exert his force had once again decisively arrived, and he was going to take action.

Facing Chris Paul's personal defense, Li Feng didn't feel very suffocated or uncomfortable.

He is much better than Chris Paul in terms of physical condition alone, so he won't find it too difficult to attack. On the contrary, he will have many options when attacking, and he will not be restricted at all.

In fact, for a lot of time before, the Clippers would always use Caron Butler to specifically defend him. But as tonight's game slowly came to the fourth quarter, Caron Butler happened to be today's game.

It was rare for a player on the Clippers to perform very poorly, so at the last moment, Chris Paul stood in front of him.

But for Li Feng, this is really an excellent opportunity. He must seize it firmly.

Using breakthrough actions to attack will play a big role in defeating Chris Paul's defense. Li Feng believes that he can break through as much as possible and gradually get closer to the Clippers' inside basket, and maybe he can kill the opponent quickly.

The two insiders of the fleet.

Then, he took the initiative to break through several times, either for layups or passing the ball, and successfully made the Clippers feel nervous.

Soon, in addition to Chris Paul, the Clippers' other backcourt player tonight, Randy Foye, also came to surround and defend him. They jointly implemented a double-team.

Obviously, it is too difficult to continue to allow a single player to restrict Li Feng these days. Every team has suffered a lot, learned a lot of experience, and has learned a lot.

However, Li Feng did not feel discouraged or distressed when he was suddenly double-teamed.

Although the difficulties before him have become more serious, it will not affect his determination to win at all, and his personal style of play at the moment will not change because of this. If he wants to continue to carry the Timberwolves forward, he must at least think about it.

The situation to be fought out will be presented smoothly in front of everyone.

He was being double-teamed, so he immediately turned to his teammates to help him, providing him with pick-and-rolls, and then he still resolutely continued to use this offensive method of breakthrough.

It seemed that in the last quarter of the game, he was about to lose his rhythm again, and it even seemed like he was about to abandon his teammates and just play alone.

Especially when he spent twenty seconds without passing the ball during an offense.

When the attack time limit was about to expire, he quickly passed Chris Paul, barely got out of the starting space, and completed a forced and abnormal riding dunk against Blake Griffin's body for a three-pointer. The buzzer beat the game.

He didn't touch the ball for other teammates for the entire twenty-four seconds!

It was in this crazy situation that Li Feng's impression of a reckless lone wolf suddenly reached its peak. Although this can be regarded as taking over the game in a sense, it may be a bit too much.

The Clippers gradually felt this way, thinking that Li Feng might have to attack with one against a hundred. So, they continued to carry out various strong defenses around Li Feng, focusing almost all their efforts on restricting him alone.

.

However, it was not until this moment that Li Feng suddenly revealed his true plan.

He then continued to take advantage of his position as the Clippers' number one goal and target, and once again continued to provide his teammates with various easy and simple scoring opportunities, almost instantly making the Timberwolves' offense become more powerful again.

Extremely sharp.

Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic, who were troubled by fouls, did not increase their troubles at this time. Instead, they were able to get more offensive opportunities under the protection of Li Feng and broke out again.

They have made wonderful contributions that they should have made.

Such a subversive situation suddenly appeared on the court, and the Clippers suddenly woke up and knew that they had once again been fooled by the Timberwolves. Or, to be more precise, they were played by Li Feng alone.

among.

Li Feng is really a huge trouble for them. It is difficult for them to limit Li Feng's individual contribution to the Timberwolves. What's more, Li Feng is now playing extremely strong and smart?

The Clippers had no choice but to immediately learn from the painful experience. There was a big defensive problem, and they took the initiative to give up the unrealistic idea of ​​restricting Li Feng and his teammates at the same time.

They withdrew their energy and put it into the offense, trying hard to maintain the offensive situation that was blossoming inside and outside the team. They hoped to maintain the state before the end of the game. Before Li Feng and the Timberwolves defeated them, they spent the game time.

Use it completely first.

However, Li Feng will not let the Clippers get his wish so easily.

Then, he didn't even wait for head coach Rambis to personally arrange it, and directly rushed to commit a personal foul on the Clippers' main center DeAndre Jordan!

He hadn't committed a single foul before tonight, so he wasn't worried about any foul trouble at this moment.

When he suddenly hugged DeAndre Jordan's body during the Clippers' attack, many Clippers fans or players at the scene were a little confused, wondering what he was going to do.

What the hell? Or maybe it was just a temporary mistake.

However, as DeAndre Jordan stood in front of the Timberwolves' free throw line and failed to hit the basket successfully for two consecutive free throws, Li Feng's strange behavior just now was gradually reluctantly guessed by more people.

arrive.

It seems a bit obvious that he should be planning to use the "kill Jordan tactic" to make it difficult for the Clippers to score smoothly.

What happened next further proved this conjecture.

Li Fengxian quickly cooperated with his teammates and launched another attack, helping the Timberwolves score two more points.

Then, instead of taking the initiative to defend Chris Paul, he quickly went around DeAndre Jordan, hugged him hard again, and committed a personal foul.

The legendary "killing Jordan tactic" seems to have shown shocking signs under Li Feng's initiative.

This time, DeAndre Jordan faced the enthusiastic encouragement of all the Clippers fans, but still failed to live up to his expectations. Once again, he missed both free throws and failed to score a single point.

The Timberwolves' backcourt rebounds were well protected. Blake Griffin alone was completely unable to steal offensive rebounds from the double insurance of Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic.

Therefore, the Timberwolves' fast offense can still be played and is very methodical.

If Li Feng had a chance, he would attack. Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance, so he quickly transferred the basketball to other teammates. They played very intimidatingly, and soon the Timberwolves continued to add points.

It was the Clippers' turn to attack again. When DeAndre Jordan saw the situation on the court, he subconsciously chose not to step into the court after sending the basketball. He thought that this way, Li Feng would not be able to continue to attack him.

A foul was committed.

However, it seems that Li Feng on the court has indeed given up on this idea and is tending to retreat to defend Chris Paul's dribbling.

DeAndre Jordan and many Clippers fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, thinking that Li Feng really wouldn't do the weird trick just now.

So, Jordan slowly stepped onto the court from behind and was about to officially take his place.

But suddenly, Li Feng threw away Chris Paul and rushed out, but directly hugged his body again, leaving him unable to escape again and being fouled again.

The Clippers fans at the scene were already experiencing all kinds of agitation and inexplicable emotions. At this moment, they even felt that their brains were running out of energy.

DeAndre Jordan, on the other hand, held his head and showed a very depressed mood. He didn't want to stand on the court and shoot free throws. That kind of scoring method would really be a torture for him.

Finally, Clippers head coach Negron chose to call a timeout at this moment to adjust the series of unexpected situations that had just occurred on the court. At the same time, he also planned to give his players, especially DeAndre Jordan, some correct response options.

Jordan came off the court as if relieved, and then quickly explained something to coach Negron with a painful look on his face.

As for the Timberwolves, Li Feng's teammates were actually quite curious and excited, and they all asked him about the purpose of his crazy behavior just now.

Li Feng's answer to his teammates was simple. He just wanted to disrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm and make DeAndre Jordan a burden that would hold the Clippers back.

Timberwolves head coach Rambis immediately expressed encouragement and affirmation to him, almost fully recognizing the "killing Jordan tactic" he had just taken the initiative to implement.

After all, the Timberwolves not only scored 4 points just now, but also greatly disrupted the Clippers' offensive rhythm and prevented them from scoring. And even after the two sides returned to the field later, DeAndre Jordan's

With two free throws, the certainty of hitting them all is very slim.

Therefore, after Rambis continued to praise Li Feng's timely and smart behavior on the court, he gathered all the players together and issued new formal orders to them. That is, they really need to be in the next game.

During this period, they continued to implement the "kill Jordan tactic". As long as Jordan stayed on the court, they had to take the initiative to find opportunities to send him to the free throw line, making it impossible for the Clippers to continue playing normally.

This is another small shortcut for them to win this game. It seems to be very effective so far, and they must fully grasp it.
