NBA: Talent exploded at the start

“Boy, don’t be too crazy, basketball relies on hands, not mouths, really have that ability, or use it on the court!”

Seeing Griffin and Lin Lei looking tense, Chris Paul was also afraid of Griffin’s impulsiveness, and quickly came up to persuade.

At the same time, Chris Paul did not forget to mock Lin Lei, and made the gesture of using small movements on Lin Lei just now.

His purpose in doing this was nothing more than to provoke Lin Lei and make him lose his mind, so as to do something unfavorable to the game.

I have to admit that Paul, as a veteran in the league, not only has amazing ball skills, but also is very good at disturbing the mentality of the opponent.

But after the adjustment of the first section, Lin Lei has long regained his composure now.

Paul’s provocation will not make him lose his mind, but will make Lin Lei more calm.

He did not pay attention to Paul’s trash talk, but planned to make Paul pay for it with his actions on the field!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead in serving, and Lin Lei did not rush to break through after receiving Fisher’s ball.

Instead, he rushed directly in front of Paul, and Paul made a defensive posture when he saw this.

Just when Paul thought that Lin Lei would choose to play alone, Lin Lei did not choose to break through after a false blow, but divided the ball as soon as possible.

Kobe, who received Lin Lei’s pass, did not hesitate for a moment and directly completed the score with a picturesque mid-range backward jumper.

The cooperation of the two can be described as pure green, without any dragging mud and water in the middle.

But Paul was a little surprised, after all, at the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Lei had already shown a gesture of wanting to move at any time.

Paul was also ready to be retaliated by Lin Lei, but who would have thought that he did not fight against himself.

In the next pass, Lin Lei also tried to complete a steal against Paul.

Due to his airtight defense, Paul was never able to complete the breakthrough against Lin Lei during his attempt to break through.

Watching the defensive minutes pass by, Paul finally passed the ball into the hands of other teammates.

However, Gasol and Bynum and others on the inside of the Lakers have long been in position.

No matter how strong Griffin’s physical fitness is, it is impossible to easily complete a dunk on top of someone else’s head.

The Clippers’ rise this season has a huge relationship with Chris Paul’s passing.

Griffin’s physicality was also very strong last season, but he was not as comfortable scoring as he was this season.

It’s because no one helps him read the game, opens up space, and creates an opportunity to complete the dunk.

Because of this, Phil Jackson and Lin Lei saw that the core of the Clippers’ team and tactics was Paul, and as long as he was completely strangled, the Clippers’ offensive efficiency could suddenly be half muted.

Their observations proved to be very accurate, and after several attempts to be singled out of reach, Griffin was forced to pass the ball into Paul’s hands again.

At this time, the Clippers had less than 5 seconds left to attack…

At the last moment, it was no longer a tactic solution, and Paul chose to complete the singles himself, and after a false swing, he tried to throw off Lin Lei with a change of direction and acceleration.

But Lin Lei, whether it is height or inevitability, as well as lateral movement, the speed is above Paul, and it is impossible for him to easily throw off.

As soon as Paul was about to break through, Lin Lei was already standing on the route he had to take.

In this case, with less than three seconds left to attack, Paul decided to take a risk.

He directly raised his elbows and tried to use his body as a cover to silently push Lin Lei away, thus completing the score.

“Ouch~”

Who knew that at the moment when the two had just made contact, before Paul could put his elbow on Lin Lei’s body, Lin Lei, who was in charge of defense, let out a scream, and the whole person fell straight back.

Lin Lei’s action can be described as very real, and his expression is also very painful.

He covered his ribs and kept muttering in his mouth, looking at Paul with a very dissatisfied expression, obviously hurt by Paul.

“Toot…”

Seeing this, the referee immediately responded with a whistle and ruled that Paul had committed an offensive foul!

“What!”

Seeing this, Paul was not happy at that time, and began to complain at the referee, his expression was even more excited than Lin Lei just now, and he looked as if he was about to eat the referee at any time.

Seeing this, Griffin and other teammates rushed up to dissuade him, fearing that Paul would be fouled by a technical foul because of his dissatisfaction with the referee.

After being pulled up by his teammates, Kobe looked at Lin Lei in front of him and said in a relaxed tone: “It’s not a big deal, right?” ”

“It’s okay, it hurts!”

To do a play is to do a full set, Lin Lei covered the position where he was “hit” by Paul just now, which is completely true.

His expression was seen by Artest on the field, and Artest covered his mouth and snickered.

After getting the ball, Lin Lei also chose to single Paul, he came to Paul with an acceleration, and changed direction again, pretending to break through to score.

Just when Paul thought that Lin Lei was going to complete the breakthrough, he saw him standing high outside the three-point line and jumping high to meet Paul’s defense and complete the shot.

When Paul stepped forward to save, Lin Lei’s arm was deliberately touched with Paul, and at the same time he also fell backwards…

“Toot…”

Seeing this, the referee blew another whistle, and Paul defended a foul!

According to NBA league regulations, when an offensive player completes a shooting action, in this process, the defensive player cannot inquent the offensive player’s cylinder, otherwise it is considered a defensive foul.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Lei actively makes physical contact with Paul when shooting according to the rules, which is difficult to avoid in this situation.

Because Lin Lei had never used this method before, Paul was naturally negligent when studying him, and he did not expect to be taken by Lin Lei to take the initiative to find such an opportunity.

Although he suffered a loss, there was no way, and because Lin Lei had already prepared, this three-point shot also hit steadily.

3+1！

With Lin Lei’s free throw, the score has come, 29:21, in the blink of an eye, the Lakers led by 8 points.

What’s more, Paul received one foul in the first quarter and two more fouls in the second quarter, so he had already committed three fouls less than a minute into the second quarter!

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous signal, if Paul stays on the field and completes four fouls in the first half, it will be very dangerous for the third and fourth quarters, and the manager will have to let Paul rest.

When Paul left the court, the Lakers fans at the scene gave a standing ovation to celebrate Paul’s departure.

Back on the bench, Paul looked at Lin Lei on the field, and his expression was also full of anger.

Who would have thought that he, who was the most familiar with the rules in the alliance, would actually be planted in the hands of Lin Lei, a fledgling freshman!

On the other hand, Lin Lei had a faint smile on his face, and in the next offense, he even stole the Clippers’ backup point guard and scored with a quick attack dunk.

When passing by the Clippers bench, Lin Lei also specially sent a flying kiss to Paul in front of him…
