In the locker room, Zhao Chen once again stood up to encourage his teammates: "Everyone, they have no retreat, and we still have it, but I don't want to give them hope of winning the series. Next, I will take over the game and attack. Give me the ball on the end, I will handle the offense and defense, and we will work together to strive for a comeback!"
"Our ultimate opponent is not them, and we should not spend too much energy on them."
"Yes, Zhao is right. Our opponents will be eliminated by us sooner or later, but we shouldn't waste time." Kobe also stood up and said.
Zhao Chen and Kobe did not blame anyone, but proudly stated that the Clippers had been stepped on by them.
Sooner or later, the Clippers will be in the Lakers' bag, and it depends on the Lakers themselves when to kill them.
And now, it's time to kill them!
"no problem!"
"Turn over and kill them."
"Kill them!"
...
Led by Kobe and Zhao Chen, the Lakers quickly started screaming.
Who is Kobe? Who is Zhao Chen? They are both very successful superstars in the NBA.
There is a future for following these two!
Rookies such as Jokic and Harris have all seen the same temperament in Zhao Chen and Kobe. This is a kingly style that rookies admire.
Kobe and Zhao Chen are both very good at miracles. Their combined scores in a single game are much more than Jordan's!
Scott was a little surprised to see how easily Kobe and Zhao Chen could stir up the atmosphere with just two words.
But then I figured it out.
It used to be Kobe, and now it's Zhao Chen. Both of them are the most prestigious players in the Lakers. Their status in the hearts of the players is very special.
Just like when the strongest person in your field of work invites you to work hard with him, then you will be willing to try your best.
"Next, the tactics will revolve around Zhao Lai!"
"Kobe, go to the corner and open up space!"
"Nicholas, don't stop the ball, just give the ball to Zhao."
....
Scott kept arranging tactics related to Zhao Chen!
Over the past season, the Lakers have used too many tactics around Zhao Chen.
Lakers players have accepted and adapted to these tactics.
Those who could not adapt and accept were given up.
For example, veterans such as Boozer and Hill have been marginalized, and their playing time is occupied by rookies and new players.
Over there in the Clippers locker room.
Chris Paul encouraged his teammates with high spirits: "If we win tonight's game and play another game, we will have the opportunity to play a tiebreaker with them. It's hard to say who will win in the tiebreaker."
Compared with Kobe and Zhao Chen, Paul's motivation is obviously much worse.
Frank, they still need two consecutive wins before they have a chance to play the tiebreaker with the Lakers. They are just qualified. What a big trap!
You may not win in a tiebreaker with the Lakers.
The pressure of the 3-1 series score is firmly on everyone in the Clippers.
Soon, the second half of the game began, and the two teams changed sides and fought again!
The Lakers sent a lineup of Zhao Chen, Kobe, Covington, Randle, and Jokic.
The Clippers have a lineup of Paul, Redick, Rivers, Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.
Zhao Chen received Jokic's serve and pushed the ball forward.
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack!"
"Zhao, kick their ass!"
Lakers fans screamed.
Lakers fans were not satisfied with the Lakers' first half, but they did not give up easily.
Zhao Chen looked at the score and then at the Clippers players on the field. Zhao Chen had an offensive method.
Zhao Chen's choice for chasing points is still three-pointers.
Paul wants to control the Lakers' offensive and defensive transitions and continue to grind out positions with the Lakers.
Positioning is not the way the Lakers like to play.
Zhao Chen now wants to continue to break the rules.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to a 45-degree angle on the left.
Jokic's screen helped Zhao Chen break through the attack between Paul and Rivers.
Paul was taken away by Jokic who followed the pick-and-roll, leaving Rivers to pester Zhao Chen.
Jokic's side is misplaced, but he may not be able to defeat Paul. Paul's small defense ability is far underestimated. This veteran's center of gravity is extremely low.
Zhao Chen did not choose to pass the ball to Jokic, but chose to challenge Rivers one-on-one.
Little Rivers was very fast. He kept pestering Zhao Chen and did not give Zhao Chen any chance to shoot a three-pointer.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball with his right hand, leaned over, and instead of using his speed to eat the ball, he chose to use his left shoulder to push away Little Rivers.
Compared with other defenders, Zhao Chen's confrontation is an absolute advantage.
"Bang!"
Little Rivers was hit by Zhao Chen, and his face instantly showed bitterness. He felt like he was fighting against a wall.
Little Rivers' body retreated involuntarily.
Zhao Chen used the force of pushing away Rivers to rebound and collect the ball, instantly opening up the space between the two.
After the confrontation, this kind of space is far from enough for ordinary players to complete a shot, but Zhao Chen is not an ordinary player.
While collecting the ball, Zhao Chen completed the rhythm adjustment, bounced up instantly, and took the ball with his palm!
Bend your bow and draw an arrow!
Shoot a three-pointer off the dribble!
Although the fans at the Lakers' home court have seen Zhao Chen's three-pointers off the dribble many times, they were still shocked by Zhao Chen's shooting style and technique.
The rhythm is very smooth!
The technical connection is almost perfect!
Coach Rivers on the sidelines was stunned. His son defended very well, but Zhao Chen found the opportunity. Zhao Chen's shot was too crazy. It was a shot one meter away from the three-point line. ah.
Basketball draws a gorgeous rainbow!
"Uh-huh!"
Accurate hit! !
63 to 53.
After scoring, Zhao Chen shook his three fingers and pointed at the top of Staples.
This kind of three-pointer during dribbling can only be compared with Zhao Chen's accuracy at the peak of Curry's shooting.
Zhao Chen's move was also very confusing.
As long as there is a chance, Zhao Chen will be very confident in throwing it.
The fans at Staples Center cheered.
They all saw that Zhao Chen was ready to use his strength.
This is the moment they've been waiting for!
"Boss, your move is so cool." Jokic came over excitedly and high-fived Zhao Chen.
"If you defend well, you are still far behind." Zhao Chen replied.
Zhao Chen did not celebrate for too long, but immediately devoted himself to the next wave of defense.
To others it was a wonderful goal, but to Zhao Chen it was just an ordinary attack.
This is Zhao Chen's conventional weapon.
There is not much difference between a wonderful three-pointer and an ordinary three-pointer. They are just three-pointers.
Clippers attack.
Paul frowned and looked at Zhao Chen. He seemed to have seen Zhao Chen in the G3 game.
That kind of fighting spirit is terrifying.
Paul was indeed outstanding in the first half, scoring 20+10, but it was also very taxing on him.
Sweat was dripping from Paul's forehead.
In the frontcourt, Paul and Griffin's pick-and-roll.
One gear and one split again caused the dislocation between Paul and Jokic.
Paul saw Jokic defending and without any hesitation, he still gritted his teeth and attacked on his own.
Paul's organizational skills are very strong, but what many people ignore is his offense.
For someone of Paul's height, the fact that he can average so high points per game in the NBA speaks volumes.
Jokic looked bitter. He didn't like guarding Paul.
There was no exception. After Paul shook continuously, he hit Jokic with a drift from mid-range.
Jokic is tall, but his steps are too slow for Paul.
Paul is very good at playing this kind of rhythm difference.
65 to 53.
After scoring the goal, Paul looked at Zhao Chen with eyes full of fighting spirit.
