…………
Kobe was full of confidence in Zhao Chen. Looking at Zhao Chen now, Kobe had to admit that even he in the second grade could not compete with such Zhao Chen.
There are very few players that make Kobe admit that his skills are inferior to others, but Zhao Chen is one.
Little Rivers and Paul waited for Zhao Chen to come over and immediately attacked from a flank.
Zhao Chen gave the ball to Kobe at the top of the key.
Kobe took the ball and started attacking, and Paul's attention shifted slightly.
Zhao Chen started running, and Rivers followed closely.
"Zhao, you will never have another chance to score a three-pointer." Rivers gritted his teeth and shouted towards Zhao Chen.
Rivers Jr. has always been considered to rely on his father to rise to power, but he doesn't like this kind of remarks very much. He wants to prove himself.
If he can suppress Zhao Chen on both offense and defense, then he will succeed.
"That position, I will shoot from there." Zhao Chen pointed to the top of the arc behind Rivers Jr., Zhao Chen's tone was full of confidence.
Too arrogant.
But the guy in front of me has the right to be arrogant.
Little Rivers didn't dare to be distracted anymore and followed Zhao Chen.
Kobe's offense was a feint, and Kobe knocked down Jokic with a sudden pass.
Jokic on the right gave the ball back to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen caught the ball and immediately made a fake move. Little Rivers was shocked.
But Zhao Chen didn't vote.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the position he had just established and continued to adjust the rhythm.
Rivers' reaction was quick, but he was still far from intercepting Zhao Chen's ball.
Zhao Chen faced Rivers with several consecutive crotch hits to the ground, and then stepped back to collect the ball!
There was a brief gap between the two.
Zhao Chen's closing jump shot slightly staggered Rivers' rhythm.
The ball was released in a gorgeous arc. When Rivers pounced and looked back, he could only see the moment when the ball hit the net.
"Uh-huh!"
An arrow to the heart!
65 to 62!
Zhao Chen once again used a cold three-point arrow to close the score.
Fans at Staples Center are in ecstasy again!
"Comrade Lao Li watched his son being hanged and beaten."
"That's awesome, Zhao Chen."
"The very familiar step back."
The teenagers in China watching Zhao Chen's game shouted again. Such a series of attacks was shocking.
Although they knew that Zhao Chen could score such a goal, his one-on-one style of completely swaying his opponent was too awesome.
After entering the second half, Zhao Chen's eyes were like eight-fold mirrors, pointing where to hit.
"For two consecutive seasons, Zhao's step-back three-pointer has been his signature technical move."
"Many people know that Zhao will use the step back, but they just can't prevent it."
"Zhao's offensive style is very comprehensive. If you guard against his retreat, he will most likely break out of you."
Commentators Barkley and Smith once again analyzed Zhao Chen's offensive method.
Just as the commentator expected, if you guard against Zhao Chen's retreat, Zhao Chen will surprise you.
The Clippers' offense still failed to score. Redick received Paul's pass and missed the open shot in the bottom corner.
It can be seen that the Clippers players are very burdened.
The rebound was obtained by Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen holds the ball to the frontcourt and attacks again.
Little Rivers focused on guarding against Zhao Chen's retreat.
But the result was that Zhao Chen rushed past him from his right side easily.
Redick helped defend, but Zhao Chen thought he was in the air and directly accelerated a second time to pass.
The defense is too passive.
Zhao Chen collected the ball and started to attack him!
Griffin raised his hands high to attack Zhao Chen on the inside.
Zhao Chen's take-off height and impact speed made Griffin's scalp numb when he saw it!
"Bang!"
In the physical confrontation between the two in the air, Zhao Chen had the offensive advantage.
Griffin pressed down and hit Zhao Chen's arm with his right hand.
Zhao Chen threw the ball before he lost his balance.
The basketball bounces into the frame!
"Beep!!"
The referee made a gesture with his fist, indicating that the two points were valid and there would be an additional penalty!
65 to 64.
"Ah!" Zhao Chen sat on the ground and shook his fist fiercely.
Jokic and Kobe pulled Zhao Chen up.
"Great job." Kobe encouraged Zhao Chen by patting his butt.
Zhao Chen nodded towards Kobe.
Afterwards, Zhao Chen stood on the free throw line and greeted the cheers from the scene!
"Uh-huh!"
65 to 65.
Officially tied the score.
Zhao Chen fulfilled his promise in the locker room and took care of the offense!
The offensive is coming!
This is what Zhao Chen brought to the Lakers in the second half.
Zhao Chen's explosion wiped out the advantage the Clippers had accumulated throughout the first half!
"Pinch attack, don't defend alone at any time." Paul gave the order!
Both Rivers and Barnes tried their best to defend Zhao Chen, but they couldn't!
The game entered Zhao Chen's dominance time, and Zhao Chen took over the game.
When encountering such a player, you can only attack with all your strength.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen's outburst could not last for a whole quarter.
In the next game, Zhao Chen's efficiency also declined. After being stunned by Zhao Chen, the Clippers gradually regained their energy, and they also launched a wave of counterattacks.
The Lakers' defense still has many loopholes.
After Zhao Chen opened a single point for the Lakers, others gradually gained confidence and started to attack the Clippers.
The competition between the two sides for the lead has become fierce.
Neither side could open up the score, and they engaged in an offensive battle.
The Clippers are not weaklings, and it will be difficult for Zhao Chen to kill them in one wave.
Just like the Lakers are not a weak team, it is difficult for Paul to defeat them in one wave.
This is a long war of attrition.
The Clippers' positional offense has more layers and is stronger inside.
The Lakers' speed and super giant's single-point offensive capabilities are stronger, and their three-pointers are also more accurate.
The game between the two sides was very exciting.
Until the last 33 seconds of the fourth quarter.
The score became 108 to 107.
The ball was in the hands of the Clippers. In this life-and-death battle, the Clippers tried their best to fight the Lakers until the end and still have the advantage.
Rivers called a stop to the game.
"Chris, suppress the time, stop attacking, and strive for success." Rivers shouted.
The Clippers are still one point ahead, and they take the initiative at the critical moment!
Paul wiped the sweat from his head and nodded.
The Clippers don't have the right key ballhandler.
Paul is a super giant, but his talent is not enough to hold the ball and attack at critical moments.
The ability to attack with the ball is more effective at critical moments than any pick-and-roll offense or other tactical offense.
"Charles, who do you think has a greater chance of winning tonight?" Kenny Smith asked.
"Does this need to be said? The Lakers, they have the best clutch player in the league." Barkley said.
Although it seems that the initiative lies with the Clippers, Barkley still firmly believes that the key ball quality is more stable on the Lakers' side.
"But Zhao didn't score in the first three rounds, which also caused the Lakers to be passive at the last moment." Smith said.
After Zhao Chen entered the last two minutes, he indeed missed three consecutive shots. It seemed that he was a little tired.
"Look, I have confidence in him," Barkley said.
When the timeout ended, the fans at Staples Center booed loudly.
Lakers fans interfered with Paul's offense as much as possible.
With 43 points and 18 assists, Paul tonight was just like his nickname.
St. Paul!
If it weren't for a monster like Zhao Chen, he would often produce luxurious statistics.
With a height of 1.83cm, Paul can grab the headlines of many reports with this kind of data.
What a pity, he met Zhao Chen at his peak!
It is destined that the light will be taken away!
Today, Paul was unwilling to give in and wanted to win.
