One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 424: : Los Angeles Capsize

"With the victory of this game, the defending champion Mavericks took the lead in the series. We all know that the Mavericks used to perform well in the regular season, but they always lost the chain after the playoffs. But since joining the Mavericks. Since then, the Mavericks have been able to perform well in both the regular season and the playoffs."

"The Clippers probably thought they had their best opponent, but they were the first to lose a game. Both Blake Griffin and Paul played very well today. Griffin shot 7 of 15 shots. In, he scored only 17 points. Paul made 5 of 12 shots and made only 41% of his field goals. Although he scored 14 points and 11 assists in a double-double. It is clear that fans expect Chris to do better." Ken Ni. Smith looked at the data analysis of the Clippers players and found that they should have lost the game.

Although Carlisle has never won the Clippers in the regular season, he will never be confused in the playoffs. Today, his defensive arrangement for Paul and Griffin made it difficult for the offensive Clippers.

After losing the game, Paul and Griffin and others all walked directly to the player channel. Denagro alone had no choice but to bite the bullet and shook hands with Carlisle.

Carlisle smiled and shook hands with Denagro very politely. "What a wonderful game."

"Yes...you won very beautifully." Denagro looked at Carlisle's ease, adding a little pressure in his heart. This guy, how many things are tucked and hidden?

After shaking hands with Carlisle, Denagro turned to look at Yiyang, who was really interacting with the fans in the stands. The performance of this young man today can only be described as incredible. Although he was suppressed by Paul during the regular season, in this crucial game, Yiyang beat Paul to win the victory with 25 points and 11 assists.

A second-year student has been able to play well with Paul in the playoffs. Denagro can't imagine what the Chinese defender will grow into in a few years!

If Denagro had to give Griffin a piece of advice, he would definitely say to the strong big man. "Don't provoke him anymore, he may become stronger than your champion in the future!"

The Clippers coach hurriedly retracted his gaze and straightened his already messy long hair. Standing in this sea of ​​joy, embarrassed, it was too out of place.

Yiyang didn't know that there were so many people discussing himself at this moment, and he was not in the mood to ridicule Griffin's self-esteem fool in front of reporters. He just walked slowly on the court like a walk. Occasionally sign the fans, occasionally hug teammates, and accept the worship of all Dallas people...

Yiyang didn't have any special purpose for doing this. He was simply enjoying the victory and enjoying the wonderful atmosphere after winning.

Of course, there will still be ignorant reporters rushing onto the court to spoil this beautiful atmosphere.

A young woman holding a microphone and a strong man carrying a camera suddenly appeared in front of Yiyang's eyes. The Chinese defender shook his head. There was still someone wondering.

"Also, today you easily defeated the Los Angeles Clippers with a score of 108 to 98, and this is the first time you defeated them this season. Do you think today's game is different from the previous matches between the two sides?" Female reporter Excitedly brought the topic to Yiyang's mouth, she still thought that her charm was unstoppable.

"Dirk scored 20 points and 7 rebounds, Jeter scored 17 points and 4 assists. Although Vince missed a few three-pointers, he also scored 13 points. Our lineup is complete and united. This is Difference." Yiyang did not focus on himself, but praised his teammates in front of reporters.

The fact is also true, this may be the most complete lineup since the Mavericks played against the Clippers this season. With Kidd, Yiyang can take a regular rest. The play of Nowitzki and Terry also allowed the Mavericks to continue to lead during the rest of Yiyang.

"Do you think you can continue to win next?"

After hearing this question, Yi Yangchong, a female reporter who was obviously a novice, narrowed his eyes. "Is it possible, do I still say that we are going to fail?"

At the press conference after the game, Griffin made thousands of excuses for his performance. And Yiyang didn't mention anything related to Griffin.

You can say that Yiyang does not like to fight in front of the media, but more people think that Yiyang disdains Griffin's general knowledge.

This is only Yiyang's second season, but he has won two rookie contest MVPs, slam dunk championship, best rookie, best sixth man and even an NBA championship! The honor that Yiyang has already won, some players may not be able to get it in their lifetime.

And Griffin? Although this guy is very famous, so far he still has no substantive honor to come by. Yiyang has been able to compete with superstars such as Paul and Wade, and Griffin still seems powerless most of the time when facing opponents such as Duncan and Nowitzki.

Think about it carefully, although Griffin is expensive as the champion, but it is indeed far from Yiyang outstanding. Yiyang's disdain for Griffin at this time is precisely the biggest humiliation to him!

Therefore, when many media were waiting to see the two young men fighting each other, Yiyang chose to ignore it, and Griffin was not embarrassed to mention it again.

However, Griffin did not admit that he and the team did not perform well under the press of reporters. He just felt that he was a little less lucky.

Griffin's excuse was very clichéd, but it was fulfilled by mistake. In the next few days, the "luck" of Griffin and the Clippers was simply terrible.

Due to the continuous fierce battle, the Clippers’ physical coach reminded Denagro that the players’ physical fitness is consumed in a short period of time, and injuries are prone to occur in this case.

But what can Denagro do? It is now during the playoffs, not to mention that the Clippers have already lost a game. At this critical moment, you can never learn from Popovich's rotation.

So a day later, on April 30, Denagro let everyone bite the bullet and play. And Paul and Griffin also played a lot of time. If the grass does not die, it will die. This sentence is simply appropriate to summarize Danagro's employment strategy.

At the beginning of the second game between the two sides, Paul showed a strong desire to score. He made a lot more shots than the previous game because he knew very well that the Clippers could not afford to lose.

However, Denagro's over-reliance on the main players ultimately cost him. Griffin had a violent collision in the air with the substitute Yi Jianlian at 1:33 in the third quarter. Just when everyone was worried about Yi Jianlian, Griffin sprained his knee when he landed and fell to the ground in pain. Nothing happened to Yi Jianlian, but "White Monster" couldn't get up.

Without Griffin, Denagro and the Clippers have lost an arm. The burden on Paul's shoulders is heavier, and at this time he seems to be back in the helpless New Orleans Hornets.

However, Paul's pain on the court did not last long. Not because the Clippers had an offensive climax, but because Paul himself had a recurrence of an old groin injury in the 8th minute of the fourth quarter and had to leave early.

"This is a huge blow to the Clippers. They just lost Griffin. Are they going to lose Paul now? I hope the injuries of these two guys are not serious. Otherwise, this series. There will be no suspense at all."

Seeing this, Griffin had to continue playing with injuries. But how much Willie Griffin can play without Paul?

19 seconds before the end of the game, Yiyang avoided Griffin's block with a low layup and successfully scored. And this ball also turned the difference between the two sides into 9 points. 19 seconds to chase 9 minutes, even if you take the time machine to pull the 35 seconds and 13 minutes of the year Maddie over, you can't fill the gap.

98 to 89, the Clippers had to swallow the fruit in the U.S. Route Center Arena. Before the series began, Denagro thought that the score might become 2-0. But in his imagination, it was the Clippers, not the Mavericks, who took the lead in 2 games!

"The Mavericks once again surprised the world. Before the series began, 70% of people thought the Clippers would advance. But now, the Los Angelesers are in danger."

Time entered May, and the temperature gradually began to rise. But this year, the enthusiasm in Los Angeles does not come from high temperatures, but from fans.

This year, both Los Angeles teams have reached the playoffs, which was not common before. The two consecutive rounds of the series will be held at the Staples Center, and the enthusiasm of its fans can be known.

The Lakers ran into the Grizzlies in the first round of this year, and promotion shouldn't be a big problem. What makes the Los Angeles fans feel very worried is that the Clippers after returning to Los Angeles actually lost the third game in a row!

"Before the game started, the Clippers said that Paul and Griffin would not play due to injuries. It now appears that it was just an official smoke bomb released by the Clippers. Paul and Griffin not only played, but also They have played for more than 40 minutes~www.novelmtl.com~ But it’s a pity that the Clippers buried themselves today!" Kenny Smith shook his head. It was clear before the start of the fourth quarter. The fleet is dominant. But now? The Mavericks' victory is already within reach.

Originally, the Clippers used Paul's fight to cause the Mavericks to make consecutive mistakes, and started the fourth quarter with a wave of 10 to 2, leading 76 to 68 in one fell swoop. But from 8 minutes and 30 seconds before the end of the game, the Clippers made only one goal in 8 minutes and 26 seconds, and the 8-point advantage quickly disappeared. The Mavericks' defense once again allowed the Clippers to experience what it means to be airtight.

It wasn't until 3.7 seconds before the end that the Clippers made a three-pointer by Butler to break the scoring drought. But this has been to no avail, the Mavericks have already taken the victory.

3 to 0, although the series has not been finalized yet. But this score has undoubtedly sentenced the Clippers to death.

The Mavericks are already in their hands, and breaking through the first round of the Clippers is easier than they thought.

"My efficiency is too low. I must play well in the next game." In an interview after the game, Paul, who made only 4 of 12 shots, scored 10 points, 5 assists and turned over 8 times, fell into deep self-blame. Among.

"But, the Clippers are now behind 3-0." The reporter didn't know what Paul meant by this. Does he still want to win?

"You can also make history, why can't I?" Paul walked into the dressing room with a face full of displeasure after asking the question back. Paul is not Griffin. Although the injury did make his condition drop greatly, he would not use this as an excuse.

Chris Paul is a fighter, he never knows what to give up. Maybe after 3 to 0, there will be a bigger storm, waiting for Yiyang to face it...
