The game continued on the field, and Rivers did not stop the game at the beginning of the third quarter.
Zhao Chen's pressing defense achieved very good results.
The Clippers' offense encountered collective resistance from the entire Lakers team.
Paul failed to execute consecutive tactics in the frontcourt. The Lakers' defensive intensity increased, and Griffin and DeAndre Jordan had no chance to connect with the ball.
Tucker and Jokic both pushed the two of them desperately.
Paul gave the ball to Crawford.
Crawford has always been the end point, not the support point. Giving him this means Paul has given up on the organization!
Facing Zhao Chen, Crawford dribbled wildly and changed direction.
Crawford also wanted to follow the gourd and continue to give Zhao Chen three-pointers like in the previous round.
But this time he was not so lucky. Zhao Chen caught his rhythm, and Zhao Chen's defensive fingertips caught his three-pointer.
Basketball changed its trajectory. It didn't touch anything, and Jokic got it under the basket.
Jokic directly gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball through the frontcourt.
Lakers players pulled away one after another!
Paul took the initiative to guard against Zhao Chen.
Seeing that it was Paul, Zhao Chen immediately stepped forward, collected the ball, retreated, and made a three-point jumper! !
It’s completely bullying Paul’s height!
The basketball draws a wonderful arc! !
at this time! On the CCTV side, Director Zhang shouted: "This ball is wide open. Let's see how Zhao Chen will hit Paul? Shake him, pass him! Oops, he didn't shake him, and he didn't pass. He threw the ball. Zhao Chen met Paul and hit him on the head." I voted, oh, it’s beautiful, so beautiful, Zhao Chen really dared to vote, he really dared to score!”
"Uh-huh!"
70 to 63, Zhao Chen’s scoring frenzy continued.
Staples Center.
Zhao Chen showed his disregard for Paul's defense!
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen pointed to the sky with three fingers! !
This is his daily pattern!
Clippers attack.
Paul was also anxious and dribbled forward, passing it to Griffin who was following up.
Griffin attacked Tucker.
Tucker tried very hard, but it was in vain. Griffin was about to succeed, and Tucker hugged Griffin directly!
"Beep!"
Griffin gets to the free throw line! !
Missed the first free throw!
Paul held his knees outside the three-point line and looked at Griffin's back helplessly.
The Clippers' scoring was still too slow.
Griffin made his second free throw.
70 to 64.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen turned around continuously for half the game, and Paul also tried to put pressure on Zhao Chen, but failed.
As soon as Zhao Chen passed the half court, Barnes quickly came over to attack.
If Paul comes to guard Zhao Chen alone, if he doesn't learn from Antetokounmpo to step in, he will be shot over his head.
I saw Zhao Chen dribbling dexterously on the court to avoid being flanked and not making a pass.
The Lakers fans at the scene were completely excited.
"come on!"
"Awesome."
"Zhao Chen, kick their butts."
The fans kept cheering Zhao Chen up. When they saw Zhao Chen not passing the ball while being flanked, they knew something crazy was going to happen tonight.
Jokic and Tucker both came out to cover Zhao Chen.
Jokic blocked Barnes and Tucker blocked Paul.
Zhao Chen broke in from the middle with the help of double cover.
Griffin rushed forward, Zhao Chen took a step to the right of Griffin, Griffin chased back, and Zhao Chen continuously stepped back to pull back! !
It seemed that Zhao Chen was being attacked from both sides, but Zhao Chen's rhythm was not disrupted.
Zhao Chen completed the rhythm adjustment, aimed at the frame, kicked the ground, and took advantage of the situation to shoot a jumper.
Paul and Griffin both rushed towards Zhao Chen with red eyes.
"puff!"
Zhao Chen was knocked down, but the referee did not call a foul.
Zhao Chen's step-back three-point shot was completed in advance, and the basketball passed through the crowd.
It continued to slide in the air, and Zhao Chen stared at the ball after falling to the ground.
"Uh-huh!"
Three-point cold arrow penetrated the heart again! !
73 to 64.
The gap has reached 9 points! !
Zhao Chen stood up on the spot and continued his unique celebration posture! !
"nice shot!"
"Well done!"
"Why is this ball not a foul?"
The Lakers substitutes were cheering on the sidelines, and head coach Scott also complained to the referee. Scott believed that the ball had an extra penalty!
The referee ignored Scott's complaint and motioned for him to sit back.
Kobe continued to incite the fans on the sidelines. Staples Center once again became the Lakers' home court, and the fans cheered vigorously.
There are many fans who hate Zhao Chen, but there are even more fans who like Zhao Chen! !
Clippers coach Rivers couldn't sit still and immediately applauded on the sidelines: "Pinch him, don't give him a chance to take action."
Seeing as it's not yet time for rotation, Rivers is ready to stay out for one or two more rounds.
Clippers attack.
Paul initiated a pick-and-roll with Griffin.
After the pick-and-roll, Paul continued to feed Griffin the ball, and Griffin caught the ball and started to pick up.
But Tucker, who was well prepared, cut the ball the moment Griffin collected the ball!
"Snapped!"
Tucker's chip was suspected of being a hitter, but the referee hesitated and did not blow the whistle.
Rivers yelled from the sidelines!
But people who know the NBA basically know that this is a balance whistle.
The ball cut off by Tucker was taken by Dinwiddie, who continued to give it to Zhao Chen.
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
Zhao Chen turned away boos into cheers at home.
The sound of cheering for Zhao Chen in the Staples Arena seemed to overturn the arena.
Zhao Chen took a deep breath on the court and wiped the sweat from his head while dribbling.
After halftime, the Clippers flanked Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen did not forcefully break the trap this time, but transferred the ball to Jokic at the top of the key.
Zhao Chen can dribble to break a double attack, but there is no need to break like that, it consumes too much energy.
Jokic made a feint with the ball, as if he was going to shoot a three-pointer. His action attracted some of the Clippers' defensive attention.
Zhao Chen performed a reverse run and a running position without ball coverage, and circled to catch the ball from a 45-degree position on the left side.
Jokic dribbled the ball over and gave Zhao Chen a hand-to-hand pass.
Zhao Chen seemed to be about to make a jump shot immediately after receiving the ball, and Paul and Barnes pounced directly on him.
With a fake move, Zhao Chen directly deceived the two of them to defend and then rushed in.
Griffin helped defend again. Zhao Chen leaned against Griffin and turned around sharply to pass by.
Take advantage of the situation to collect the ball, kick off the ground and take off!
Take the ball with both hands and slam it into the basket before Jordan's block arrives! !
75 to 64.
The score difference widened to double digits.
"Timeout!" Rivers immediately walked onto the field with the tactical board.
Clippers owner Ballmer had his hands on his chest and his face was very ugly. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ballmer is thinking about a question!
Ballmer was thinking about how to lure Zhao Chen over...
Zhao Chen seems to have the option to opt out of his contract after this season!
If Zhao Chen comes to the Clippers, tsk tsk, how can he worry that the Clippers will not revive!
"Good job, Zhao Chen, just play with him and slip him away." Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly! !
.........
"After identification, Director Zhang has gone crazy."
"Zhang-Zhao Chui-Wei Ping's reputation cannot be built on."
"Zhao Chen is really awesome, his explosive scoring ability is unparalleled."
"Zhao Chen seems to be rushing for 80+ today!"
"More than 85 points!!"
"If someone else's goal is 80 points, I will definitely laugh it off, but if Zhao Chen's goal is 80 points, I will take a serious look because he has really done it."
"Brothers, how about being more bold and scoring 100 points!"
"Regular season records and playoff records are not the same thing."
"But it seems like the high scores in the playoffs are more important."
Netizens went crazy during the pause.
