The Clippers' defense has been destroyed by Zhao Chen alone.
Lakers offense.
It’s still for Zhao Chen.
Now as soon as Zhao Chen gets the ball, the Clippers are full of pressure.
This time Zhao Chen didn't come on his own right away, and everyone on the Clippers focused their defensive attention on him.
Barnes interfered in front of him, and Paul and Redick were ready to pounce at any time.
Zhao Chen can't really fight one against five.
Zhao Chen chose to give the ball to Harris.
Zhao Chen won't force it just because it feels good. That's not how a team wins.
No matter how hot the game feels, teammates must also participate in a game of this intensity, otherwise it will be a big disadvantage for the team.
Zhao Chen had a good chance to pass the ball. Harris received the ball and shook Redick away. He took a sideways step and shot a three-pointer!
Harris did not encounter too much defensive pressure today!
In this case, he shot very comfortably!
"frame!"
But Harris still didn't make the shot!
After entering the playoffs, this guy seemed to be lost.
Jokic gets the offensive rebound and gives it to Kobe!
After Kobe got the ball, he pushed on the ground and leaned back from mid-range!
"frame!"
Didn’t get in either!
Kobe Bryant's late performance is no joke.
The rebound was taken down by Jordan.
At this time, Paul breathed a sigh of relief. The Lakers' touch has not completely recovered.
Clippers attack.
Paul gave the ball to Griffin inside, and Griffin sat down to hit Jokic.
Jokic's defense was very solid and Griffin had no chance. Griffin passed the ball inside to Jordan.
Jordan resisted Tucker's one-handed dunk! ! !
Dunk in!
12 to 6
The playoffs are all about momentum, and Harris's failure to score a three-pointer will hurt morale.
Scott asked Covington to stand on the sidelines and prepare to replace Harris.
Lakers offense.
Jokic carried the ball across half court.
Zhao Chen was attacked by two people.
Zhao Chen ran out and received Jokic's hand.
Jokic took advantage of the situation to provide a cover for Zhao Chen.
The two of them cooperated very well.
The Clippers' defense came up quickly, and both Barnes and Paul came to defend Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen received the handoff and an opportunity appeared, and he immediately took advantage of the situation and took action.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!"
15 to 6.
Zhao Chen's crazy scoring continues!
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen pointed to the sky with three fingers! ! !
"It's getting better!"
"I'm coming!"
"Zhao Ritian's madness is here!"
“Awesome!!”
"Come on, Zhao Chen, let's get 60+ in the playoffs!"
"A domineering three points!"
"Let's connect the three-point combo!"
"The three-point shot is so fast."
Fans of Zhao Chen on the Internet were in high spirits.
Fans who watch Zhao Chen play basically like Zhao Chen's three-point shooting.
Zhao Chen's three-point shot is so incredible, it is also his main move to separate him from other super giants.
Clippers attack.
Paul was constantly pestered by Zhao Chen. He had no choice but to evade Zhao Chen's defense even with continuous screens.
Paul chose to give the ball to Griffin in the low post.
Griffin used his back to forcefully hit Jokic again. Jokic faced off this time, but Griffin turned around flexibly.
Griffin passed Jokic.
Kobe went to block the shot, and Griffin came up with a pull-up layup!
Griffin's physical talent is great and he can do all kinds of moves at his fingertips.
15 to 8.
The Clippers also always responded to the Lakers' offensive and did not really let the Lakers be beaten to death.
"The situation is on the Lakers' side, but the Lakers still can't be careless."
"Zhao Chen's offensive ability is so terrible. He held the Clippers down by himself."
"Griffin is in good shape today, but his scoring speed is not as fast as Zhao Chen's."
The commentators were discussing the situation on the field.
Scott called a timeout after Zhao Chen passed halftime.
The Lakers need to rotate personnel.
After the timeout, the Lakers were still in that rhythm.
Zhao Chen's touch is good, but the others seem to be continuing the touch of the previous game, and the overall performance is a bit sluggish.
Zhao Chen felt the rhythm and state of his teammates and has been trying to mobilize the whole team.
While ensuring personal performance, Zhao Chen hopes to help the team win the game steadily.
The Clippers, led by Paul and Griffin, were on full fire. The Lakers' defense always had problems, and they quickly caught up with the score.
After the first quarter, the score was 32 to 36, and the Lakers were 4 points behind.
Zhao Chen scored 25 points in a single quarter, but it did not change the overall situation between the two sides.
After the second quarter started, Zhao Chen chose to stay on the court to lead the second lineup.
Driven by Zhao Chen, the Lakers quickly overtook the score, and Zhao Chen continued to score points for the Lakers.
The rest of the Lakers rotated quickly, and Scott was constantly trying new changes.
It's just that the Clippers' offense is very stable. No matter what lineup the Lakers change to, they will always have an advantage in position, and Paul can always use this advantage on the court to score goals.
After hard work in the second quarter, the half-time score between the two teams became 60-60.
Zhao Chen scored another 18 points in the second quarter and scored as many as 43 points in the first half.
Except for Zhao Chen, the efficiency of Kobe, Jokic and others is still low.
Zhao Chen remembered that in his previous life, none of them reached the Western Conference semifinals.
It's great for them to be able to maintain stable performance with such intensity of competition, and it's basically impossible to break out.
This is also an important reason why the Lakers are at a disadvantage facing the Clippers as a whole.
For the Clippers, Paul had a half-time double-double with 18 points and 10 assists, and Griffin had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
Griffin played like a supporting forward today.
In the Lakers locker room.
Zhao Chen raised his head to drink the water, breathing as much as possible to rest.
"Are you tired?" Kobe asked as he sat over.
"No, I still have a lot of physical strength." Zhao Chen replied.
"Then you still need to play like this in the second half, otherwise this game will still be very dangerous." Kobe warned.
"Well, I know, I will try my best." Zhao Chen nodded.
With the game playing like this, Zhao Chen temporarily forgot about the troubles before the game. He is now focusing all his attention on the court!
He must win, this is his belief tonight.
The state of Kobe, Jokic and others also means that no one else will come to help him tonight.
Everything is still up to him.
When I chose this path in the first place, it was often destined that all this would happen.
Coach Scott was also in a bad mood in the locker room.
Except for Zhao Chen's outburst, the overall feel of the Lakers was similar to the previous game.
The final result of the last game was a loss.
After sitting for a while, Scott began to lay out his tactics.
Scott's tactical arrangement is also very simple: "Zhao, attack as much as possible, and others will cover!"
Familiar to Zhao Chen...
Jokic wants to complain about the head coach, there is nothing new.
"You have to let the ball finish in your hands. If it's not an absolute chance, don't send an assist!"
Scott continued to emphasize that Zhao Chen has unlimited shooting rights!
As long as Zhao Chen uses all his firepower, he can still win this game.
Clippers locker room.
Rivers' head felt like it was about to explode.
The Lakers were obviously in bad shape, but Zhao Chen couldn't guard against it.
What will happen if you fail to guard against Zhao Chen? Just look at the Spurs!
They defended Zhao Chen in the last game and they won, but tonight, he showed no signs of defending him at all!
He scored 43 points at halftime. How many more points does he want to score tonight?
