One Guard

Chapter 424: The Los Angeles Capsized Team

"With the victory of this game, the defending champion Mavericks has taken the lead in the series. We all know that the Mavericks used to perform well in the regular season, but they always lost the chain after the playoffs. But since joining the Mavericks Since then, the Mavericks have been able to perform well both in the regular season and in the playoffs.”

"The Clippers may have thought they had met the best opponent, but they were the first to lose a game. Blake Griffin and Paul both played very average today. Griffin made 7 of 15 shots Among them, he only scored 17 points. Paul made 5 of 12 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 41%. Ni Smith looked at the data analysis of the Clippers players and found that it was only natural for them to lose.

Although Carlisle hasn't won the Clippers in the regular season, he will never be confused in the playoffs. Today, his defensive arrangement against Paul and Griffin made it difficult for the Clippers, who rely on offense.

After losing the game, Paul, Griffin and others all went directly to the player tunnel. De Nagro alone had no choice but to bite the bullet and shake hands with Carlisle.

Carlisle smiled and shook hands with De Nagro very politely. "What a fantastic game."

"Yes...you won beautifully." Seeing Carlisle's ease, Denagro added a little more pressure in his heart. How many things does this guy hide?

After shaking hands with Carlisle, De Nagro turned his head to look at Yiyang who was actually interacting with the fans in the stands. This young man's performance today can only be described as unbelievable. Although he was suppressed by Paul during the regular season, in this crucial game, Yiyang overwhelmed Paul with 25 points and 11 assists to lead the team to victory.

A sophomore can already play back and forth with Paul in the playoffs. De Nagro can't imagine what this Chinese defender will look like in a few years!

If DeNagello had one piece of advice to give Griffin, it would be to the strong big man. "Don't provoke him anymore, he may become stronger than you, the champion!"

The coach of the Clippers hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and tidied up his already somewhat messy long hair. Standing in this sea of ​​joy in a mess, I am really out of place.

Yiyang didn't know that there were so many people talking about him at the moment, and he wasn't in the mood to ridicule that self-important idiot Griffin in front of the reporters. He just walked slowly on the court like a walk. Occasionally signing autographs for fans, occasionally embracing teammates, accepting the worship of all Dallas people...

Yiyang did not have any special purpose in doing this, he was simply enjoying the victory and the wonderful atmosphere after winning.

Of course, there will still be uninterested reporters rushing to the stadium to spoil this beautiful atmosphere.

A young woman holding a microphone and a strong man carrying a camera suddenly appeared in front of Yiyang's eyes. The Chinese defender shook his head. Some people are still puzzled.

"Also, today you easily defeated the Los Angeles Clippers with a score of 108 to 98, and this is the first time you have defeated them this season. Do you think today's game is any different from the past when the two sides played against each other?" Female reporter Excitedly, the topic came to Yiyang's mouth, she still thought that her charm was irresistible.

"Dirk scored 20 points and 7 rebounds, Jeter scored 17 points and 4 assists, Vince missed a few three-pointers, but also scored 13 points. Our lineup is complete and united. The difference." Yiyang didn't focus on himself, but praised his teammates in front of the reporters.

The fact is that this may be the most complete lineup since the Mavericks played against the Clippers this season. With Kidd around, Yiyang can take turns to rest normally. And Dirk Nowitzki and Terry's play,

It also allows the Mavericks to continue to maintain the lead during Yiyang's rest time.

"Do you think you can continue to win in the future?"

After hearing this question, Yiyang squinted his eyes at this obviously novice female reporter. "Is it possible that I still say that we are going to fail?"

In the press conference after the game, Griffin made thousands of excuses for his performance. As for Yiyang, he didn't mention anything about Griffin.

You can say that Yiyang doesn't like sparring in front of the media, but more people think that Yiyang doesn't like to be as knowledgeable as Griffin.

This is only Yiyang's second season, but he has already won two rookie game MVPs, a slam dunk contest champion, the best rookie, the best sixth man and even the NBA championship! The honors that Yiyang has already won, some players may not be able to get them if they spend their entire lives.

And what about Griffin? Although this guy is very famous, so far he still has no substantive honors. Yiyang has been able to compete with superstars such as Paul and Wade, while Griffin still seems powerless when facing opponents like Duncan and Nowitzki.

Thinking about it carefully, although Griffin is the number one pick, he is indeed far from being as good as Yiyang. Yiyang's disdain for Griffin at this time is precisely the greatest humiliation to him!

Therefore, when many media were waiting to see the two young people's spat, Yiyang chose to ignore it, and Griffin was too embarrassed to bring it up again.

But Griffin did not admit that he and the team did not perform well under the pressure of reporters. He just felt that his luck was a little bit worse.

Griffin's excuse was clichéd, but it worked out by accident. Over the next few days, Griffin and the Clippers' "luck" simply sucked.

Due to continuous fierce battles, the Clippers' fitness coach reminded De Nagro that the players' physical fitness will be exhausted in a short period of time, and injuries are prone to occur in this situation.

But what can De Nagro do? It is now during the playoffs, not to mention the Clippers have already lost a game. At this critical moment, you can't learn from Popovich's rotation.

So one day later, on April 30, De Nagro let everyone bite the bullet and play. And Paul and Griffin also played a lot of time. If the grass is not dead, it will be dead. It is simply appropriate to use this sentence to summarize De Nagro's employment strategy.

At the beginning of the second game between the two sides, Paul showed a strong desire to score. He took a lot more shots than in the previous game, because he knew very well that the Clippers couldn't afford to lose.

But De Nagro's over-reliance on the main players finally cost him. Griffin collided violently with Yi Jianlian, who came off the bench, with 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the third quarter. Just when everyone was worried about Yi Jianlian, Griffin sprained his knee when he landed and fell to the ground in pain. Nothing happened to Yi Jianlian, but the "White Monster" couldn't get up.

Without Griffin, DeNagello and the Clippers would lose an arm. The burden on Paul's shoulders is even heavier, and at this time he seems to have returned to the helpless New Orleans Hornets.

However, Paul's pain on the court did not last long. It wasn't because the Clippers played an offensive climax, but because Paul himself had a relapse of his old groin injury in the 8th minute of the fourth quarter and had to leave the game early.

"This is a big blow to the Clippers. They just lost Griffin, and now they are going to lose Paul? I hope the injuries of these two guys are not serious, otherwise, this series There is no suspense."

Seeing this situation, Griffin had to continue playing with injuries. But without Paul, how much power can Griffin play?

19 seconds before the end of the game, Yiyang used a low layup to avoid Griffin's block and successfully scored. And this goal also reduced the difference between the two sides to 9 points. Chasing 9 points in 19 seconds, even if you take the time machine to pull over McGrady who was 35 seconds and 13 minutes back then, you can't fill the gap.

98 to 89, the Clippers had to eat bad results in the American Airlines Center Arena. Before the series started, De Nagro thought that the score might become 2-0. But in his imagination, it should be the Clippers, not the Mavericks, who have achieved a 2-game lead!

"Once again, the Mavericks surprised the world. Before the series started, maybe 70% of people thought the Clippers would advance. But now, the Los Angeles people are already in danger."

The time has entered May, and the temperature gradually starts to rise. But this year, the frenzy in Los Angeles came not from the heat but from the fans.

This year, both teams in Los Angeles have reached the playoffs, which has not been common before. The two consecutive rounds of the series will be held at the Staples Center, and the enthusiasm of its fans can be seen.

The Lakers met the Grizzlies in the first round of this year, so it shouldn't be a big problem to advance. What makes Los Angeles fans feel very worried is that after returning to Los Angeles, the Clippers lost the third game in a row!

"Before the game started, the Clippers said that both Paul and Griffin would not play due to injuries. Now it seems that it is just a smoke bomb released by the Clippers. Not only did Paul and Griffin play, but They all played more than 40 minutes. But unfortunately, the Clippers can be said to have buried themselves today!" Kenny Smith shook his head, obviously before the start of the fourth quarter, the Clippers had the advantage . But now? The Mavericks' victory is already within reach.

Originally, the Clippers used Paul's scrambling to cause the Mavericks to make repeated mistakes, and started the fourth quarter with a wave of 10 to 2, leading 76 to 68 in one fell swoop. But from 8 minutes and 30 seconds before the end, the Clippers only made one goal in 8 minutes and 26 seconds, and the 8-point advantage quickly disappeared. The Mavericks' defense once again allowed the Clippers to experience what it means to be impenetrable.

It wasn't until 3.7 seconds before the finale that the Clippers broke the scoring drought with a three-pointer from Butler. But this has been of no avail, the Mavericks have already taken away the victory.

3 to 0, although the series is still inconclusive. But this score has undoubtedly sentenced the Clippers to death.

The Mavericks are already winning, and breaking through the first round of the Clippers is easier than they imagined.

"My efficiency is too low, and I must play well in the next game." In an interview after the game, Paul, who only made 4 of 12 shots, scored 10 points, 5 assists and turned over 8 times, fell into deep self-blame among.

"However, the Clippers are now 3-0 behind." The reporter didn't know what Paul meant by saying this. Does he still want to win?

"I can also make history, why can't I?" Paul asked back, and walked into the locker room with a displeased face. Paul is not Griffin. Although the injury did make his state decline greatly, he will not use this as an excuse.

Chris Paul is a fighter who never knows what giving up is. Maybe after 3 to 0, there will be a bigger storm, waiting for Yiyang to face it...
