Zhao Chen did not celebrate and continued to lead the Lakers team to pressure the Clippers!
He planned to overwhelm the Clippers with impact.
The Clippers defeated the Lakers in the last game. Even if Zhao Chen has a high-level hot touch, he doesn't dare to be careless now.
The Clippers' lineup does have an advantage compared to the Lakers.
The Lakers only have Zhao Chen who can barely be considered a superstar, and there are no All-Star level players at all, while the Clippers' Paul is a superstar, DeAndre Jordan and Griffin are both All-Star level players, and so are Redick and Crawford. Strong warrior.
Whether it's a comparison of talent, or a comparison of experience, tactics, and coaching, the Lakers are worse.
If the Clippers play in the same state as the last game today, the Lakers will also have a hard time playing.
Clippers attack.
Zhao Chen went after Redick, and Kobe continued to stare at Paul.
Paul went to the frontcourt to pick and roll with Jordan.
After the pick-and-roll, Paul did not give the ball again, but chose to hit Jokic in a misplaced position.
Paul burst into the mid-range position, and after continuous shaking, he missed Jokic's rhythm and hit a drift jumper decisively.
4 to 2
The familiar old cannon attack.
After the goal, Paul raised his hand to signal the Clippers players not to panic.
Paul's offense is very efficient and stable.
Not only is it difficult for Jokic to guard Paul, but also Kobe and Zhao Chen.
If you pounce too hard, you will easily get a foul. If you don't pounce, you may be pulled out directly.
The Lakers offense comes again.
Zhao Chen took the ball and advanced.
"Today's game was great to watch. Zhao Chen showed his strength at the beginning of the game."
"Yes, Zhao Chen and Paul are competing against each other. I like to see them tit for tat like this."
Barkley and Smith both raised their voices and shouted.
The atmosphere at Staples Arena was also very lively. The fans kept cheering loudly, and the offense started at the beginning of the game.
Zhao Chen quickly dribbled the ball across half court.
Zhao Chen's attack method today determines how fast the Lakers will be tonight.
The Lakers' main focus this season is to share the ball and move quickly, and Zhao Chen's singles are just auxiliary tactics.
But today, Zhao Chen is planning to turn his support into an absolute main offensive tactic, and Zhao Chen has no intention of sparing any effort.
He went over to attack, made a scissor step in the frontcourt, and Zhao Chen held the ball on the right side and passed Paul in seconds.
Dribbling to the left, he sprinted at high speed and passed to help defend Barnes.
The inside line once again encountered Griffin's help.
Zhao Chen collected the ball directly against Griffin and scored the ball hard!
"Beep!!"
When Zhao Chen scored the ball, the whistle also sounded.
Two plus one! !
In order to complete the ball, Zhao Chen flew backwards.
This ball was very difficult, and Zhao Chen passed three people in a row.
The hot feel is a very important thing. It not only improves long-range shots, but also can be adjusted to the best feel for this kind of frame attack.
Kobe and Jokic pulled Zhao Chen up. Zhao Chen patted his butt and signaled to his teammates that he was fine.
Zhao Chen stood on the free throw line! !
"Uh-huh!"
Extra penalty scored.
7 to 2
Clippers attack.
Paul held the ball to signal the rhythm.
Today, Zhao Chen attacked as soon as he got the ball, raising the tempo very quickly.
If Zhao Chen wants to play fast, Paul must do the opposite.
The Lakers' advantage lies in transition and Zhao Chen's super single-point offense. Paul knows how to restrain it.
If you can't restrain the Lakers' fast pace, it will be difficult to beat the Lakers.
Paul dribbled to the frontcourt. Paul became extremely cautious after experiencing a crazy interception in the first game.
In this round, Zhao Chen came to guard Paul, and Kobe went after Redick.
Zhao Chen didn't slack off at all.
Paul also wanted to pick and roll with Jordan, but Zhao Chen did not give up guarding Paul, but chose to go around the screen and chase Paul.
The difference between Zhao Chen and Kobe Bryant's defense is that Zhao Chen's steps are faster. When Paul goes around the screen, Zhao Chen's steps are faster, and he causes greater interference.
Zhao Chen never stopped studying Paul's offensive habits. Paul's offensive opportunities were blocked by Zhao Chen.
Paul had to give the ball to Griffin.
Griffin hits Harris out of position
Griffin's body is obviously stronger. After continuous collisions, he turned to the three-second zone and completed the split! !
"frame!!"
Griffin's dunk was completed.
7 to 4.
After the goal, Griffin trash-talked Harris.
Harris was a little frustrated. He really couldn't guard Griffin in the paint.
Zhao Chen went over to explain Harris' defensive issues: "You can try to cause offensive fouls. If he wants to shoot, you can let him go."
"OK!" Harris nodded.
Griffin was considered to have a certain mid-range ability in the scouting report, but Zhao Chen felt that this mid-range ability could be ignored.
If his mid-range shot fails, the Lakers can counterattack, and the success rate of this counterattack is much higher than his mid-range shooting rate.
Lakers offense.
Paul suddenly gave Zhao Chen a confrontation and frontcourt pressure.
Zhao Chen had no chance to catch the ball, and Harris caught the ball and advanced.
To the frontcourt, Harris gave the ball to Kobe.
Kobe did not rush to attack, but signaled Zhao Chen to catch the ball.
Kobe has a very clear positioning of himself, which is to assist Zhao Chen. He will not force himself.
Jokic stepped forward to provide an off-ball screen for Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen successfully got rid of Barnes' entanglement.
Zhao Chen received Kobe's pass from outside the three-point line on the right side, took the ball and leaned over to assume a triple threat posture.
Zhao Chen's position with the ball is a bit remote, more than one meter away from the three-point line.
Barnes didn't take advantage of Zhao Chen's three threats at all, and still defended Zhao Chen on the three-point line.
This kind of defense is very pretentious!
Zhao Chen didn't do any ink, he jumped directly with the ball, reached the highest point of his body, dialed the ball and shot a super long three-pointer!
"Fake!!" Barnes didn't expect that Zhao Chen's waist and abdominal strength was so strong that he didn't even need to adjust his dribbling, so he could pull forward so hard and far.
This is not a conventional offensive option.
But Zhao Chen shot like this, firing directly from a position close to two meters outside the three-point line.
The fans at Staples Arena covered their mouths and stared at the flying basketball with wide eyes.
The basketball drilled into the basket like a bullet loaded into a sniper rifle! !
"Uh-huh!"
10 to 4
"Ohhhhh!!!"
"Nice job!!"
"Zhao Chen!!!"
"Awesome!!"
"The super long three-pointer is coming."
Although it was an away game, this was Staples, and the fans cheered quickly.
Fans here like to watch Zhao Chen's willful three-pointers.
Zhao Chen's three-pointers are sometimes so sudden and unreasonable.
It seems impossible for other players to score goals, but Zhao Chen can score them.
"Good job, Zhao Chen started to be unreasonable with the Clippers and hit him with a three-pointer from far away." Zhang Weiping shouted happily.
"Such a three-pointer is Zhao Chen's specialty. The Clippers were caught off guard. Zhao Chen didn't hit a long three-pointer in the last game, but tonight it looks like he will hit a long three-pointer." Xu Jicheng shouted.
