Chapter 996

Chapter 996

It can be seen from this quarter and a half of the game that neither the Clippers nor the Rockets gave up their style of play, and they still focus on offense.

But with the start of the second quarter, the background of the two sides is gradually divided.

Everyone knows that Jamal Crawford has super offensive ability. Once he explodes, even a team cannot defend against it!

So in the response just now, McHale chose a bold decision.

He let go of Crawford directly, and let others stare at other Clippers players.

Trevor Ariza did this very well.

With him sitting on the perimeter, Corey Brewer can play his role.

This is a master of chaos, and he can be regarded as a nervous player.

Although he is not as quick as Crawford when he explodes, he is definitely not to be underestimated.

Otherwise, with his stature, he would have been eliminated by the alliance long ago.

at this time.

Because the Clippers took the lead in replacing their starters, McHale sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and still used the lineup just now.

But the gap in talent and ability cannot keep him going like this. In the past 2 minutes alone, the Clippers have brought the point difference back to only three points!

But counting the time, Harden and the others had enough rest.

It's the right time to replace them. They have a good chance of defeating a good horse with a good horse.

really!

With Jordan being exploded again, Griffin had to go to help.

And Josh Smith, who has been stared at by him for a whole quarter, is really very happy now.

When Griffin went to help, his brother Howard actually played tricks.

Once double-teamed, pass the ball, followed by the time when the former Eagle King spread his wings.

all of a sudden.

Josh Smith stopped the Clippers again with three dunks, forcing Rivers to show his roar again.

But the fact is that the Clippers are really in a bad state, and their tactics were disrupted by the Rockets, so they will have nothing to do with them in the next game.

It is simply that Paul and Redick continue to play, otherwise the Rockets will not lead the Clippers by [-] points after halftime, but at least fifteen or six points.

The Clippers' performance made the fans really upset.

Because the Clippers let them almost smell the taste of losing, and this game will most likely be the last game they watch.

Because the next tiebreaker will be in Houston, not Los Angeles.

If the Clippers can't stand it and lose in the end, and the players go home to fish, the fans who like to support them may have a bad day for a while.

But anyway, this is the home court of the Clippers. The fans are upset for a while, and they are talking and laughing when they return to the court.

Especially after some on-site activities started, most of the fans' mood immediately dissipated.

But back to the Clippers in the locker room, the current atmosphere is really bad.

Especially Chris Paul!

As one of the core of the team, the absolute engine of the team, he is very dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates!

He wasn't afraid of anyone yelling at him, he said something, and directly scolded the players who performed poorly.

Especially Jordan!

If this guy can stand up, Howard won't ask for anything.

After being scolded by Paul, Little Jordan also felt bitter.

Make sense.

He and Howard are the same kind of people, but their offensive performance is slightly worse, and they haven't reached the point of being bullied by him casually.

But after the real fight, the gap is really not small.

The usual very effective defense failed in front of Howard, which made him very uncomfortable.

to be honest.

This feeling is gradual, and it wears away his heart bit by bit.

Howard is strong, but not strong enough to eat him casually.

It's just that Howard's continuity is very strong, which gradually deepens his frustration, and in the end, the more he plays, the more he can't do it.

just now.

Paul's reprimand was more or less effective.

Little Jordan didn't seem to speak, but judging by his expression and small movements, he recovered a little.

As for Doc Rivers, Paul is now allowed to fire.

As a championship-level coach, a coach who has led many All-Star lineups, he knows when to leave it to the players and when to take control by himself.

If not.

As far as the Celtics' lineup was concerned, he might lead for one season, but he would have to be kicked out by the players because he was too strong.

Look at the Rockets.

Because they won half the game, the players were talking and laughing, and the relationship between them was very harmonious.

Especially Howard after showing his power in the first half, that happy big boy is back, smiling with his teammates.

McHale must be in a good mood now, but fortunately, he has not forgotten that the mentality of the players cannot be inflated, so he hastened to teach them political lessons.

There was less laughter in the locker room, and the players were serious. After all, no one likes to go home with a failure.

As for the many players who are paying attention to this game, they are also very much looking forward to their second half of the game.

soon.

As the third quarter kicked off, the situation on the field suddenly fell into a very fierce confrontation!

They all knew the importance of this match, so naturally they couldn't help but become more and more intense.

As such.

Misjudgments, fouls, and violations continued to occur on the field. The relationship between players was okay, but there were some frictions with the referees on the field.

Some of their previous penalties were really wrong. No matter how out of line the players are, as long as they don't embarrass them, it is only a technical foul if it is serious, and no one is sent off.

So in the third quarter, because of the extremely high confrontation intensity, the score was not very high.

20: 18.

The Clippers struggled to get back two points, but there are still five points they need to get back.

Simply they still have the last quarter of the game to come back, or they will be out early.

Entering the most critical quarter of the game, the faces of the players on both sides showed no expression.

They looked at each other, eyes full of gunpowder.

And with the official start of the fourth quarter, a confrontation that was even fiercer than the third quarter kicked off the curtain!

Especially the competition for the inside line is no longer as simple as white-hot.

If the players were not still bound by rules, they would have fought many times.

outside line.

When you see Harden starting to play desperate defense, the Rockets often end up with good results.

The final stage.

When the Rockets held six points and entered the final 2 minutes after a timeout, the Clippers launched a desperate attack!

Their desire to win makes them play very aggressively.

But until now, the patience of the on-site referee has been worn out by the players on both sides.

and so.

When the Clippers moved more and more on the field, until Griffin on the inside pushed Josh Smith away, it almost declared that the Clippers lost!

Because for a violent team, if they want to fight back at a critical moment, they must at least control their emotions properly.

Now that he is so restless, if he can win the game in the end, it will be a feast for God.

At last.

After the Rockets seized the Clippers' loophole in an instant, they immediately won the game cleanly.

It is already a respectable thing to be able to win this victory in the away game, regardless of whether they can enter the final Western Conference finals.

119: 107!

The Rockets have won the key game, and the next game will be back at their home court for a life-and-death tiebreaker!
