Chapter 163

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Los Angeles. This is the most prosperous city in the United States, and it is also the home team of the Clippers and the Lakers. What TNT brings to you today is the national live broadcast of the Clippers vs. Lakers. My name is Mike Brown."

"I'm Reggie Miller."

"We can see that although Leonard said before the game that he was doubtful about his injury, he was still warming up on the spot. And he has already appeared in the starting position of the Clippers."

"Hahahaha, everyone is used to seeing this kind of smoke bomb, right?"

"We have two quizzes for this game. The topics are: Can Qin Ming continue to score a double-double in this game? Who will get a double-double first, LeBron James or Qin Ming?"

"Qin Ming, Qin Ming. I have heard this name countless times this season."

"You can't deny that he has become a benchmark that can't be avoided anywhere."

The Clippers and Lakers started jumping the ball.

The Clippers' starting lineup has been slightly adjusted: Qin Ming, Lu Wei, Paul George, Leonard, Morris.

They put on their own dead five at the beginning.

This also surprised many commentators and commentators.

"The Clippers put up what we said before the game with the most powerful five small lineups at the very beginning."

"What is this for? Is it going to kill the game in the first quarter?"

"The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged. Caruso and Seth Curry play in the backcourt, LeBron James and Courtney Lee are the forwards, and Anthony Davis is at the center."

"In fact, if you really count it, the Lakers' starting lineup is not very disadvantaged. They are not very big, and Anthony Davis is responsible for protecting the frame."

"Yes, both sides jump ball."

Morris and Anthony Davis jumped the ball, but he didn't jump at all, which directly gave the Lakers the right to the first offense.

LeBron James held the ball on the outside, and he first had a pick-and-roll screen with Anthony Davis.

Anthony Davis blocked Leonard, and LeBron James slid down directly to face Morris, who was switching defenses. At this time, Anthony Davis carried Leonard to the inside for an air cut.

LeBron James passed the ball over his head, and because it was so high, Leonard couldn't reach it at all.

Anthony Davis got the ball and directly made a small throw.

"LeBron James is also very smart here. As soon as I see you using the five-pointer, then I will directly start the pick-and-roll air cut to hit the inside."

"And the Clippers actually don't have much to do in the face of this."

It's the Clippers' turn to attack.

Qin Ming advanced to the backcourt, Caruso didn't give him any space, and directly stuck to him. Qin Ming watched the running positions of his teammates, and passed directly to Lu Wei at a 45-degree angle, and then sank to the bottom by himself, making a cover for Paul George.

At this time, Paul George, who had already passed through the screen twice, ran out, caught and shot.

Because Anthony Davis is in charge of protecting the inside frame, at most he is going up to the free throw line to defend, and every player on the Clippers can come out to pick and roll, so Paul George shot very decisively.

"Paul George made a three-pointer!"

"It's all about efficiency. The Clippers are shooting 40.00% from beyond the arc this season, while Anthony Davis is shooting 60.00% from inside."

"In this way, the Clippers are actually not afraid of Anthony Davis constantly attacking the inside. Because my efficiency is about the same as yours."

"For the Clippers, what they have to do is very simple, that is, to constantly attack LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Since they chose to choose such an opponent in the playoffs, their tactics must also be related to these."

"Yeah, let's see how the Clippers choose this offense."

I saw LeBron James, who was defending Paul George, was pulled out directly, and then Paul George received the ball and stood outside waiting.

At this time, Qin Ming and Lu Wei made a cross screen, and then pulled away towards the baseline when the defenders were not paying attention.

Paul George has an entire upper half offensive zone.

He dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row, and then directly crossed and shot the ball. LeBron James didn't react at all, so he could only raise his hand to barely interfere with him.

But the goal was still scored.

"Paul George, a cross-step shot after a crotch dribble. The space for this step is too large. LeBron James can only raise his hand to try to interfere with Paul George's shooting vision, but the ball did not successfully defend Paul George's shot, so Paul George hit two points again."

"It's pleasing to the eye."

"Dove in the world."

Paul George returns to defense, and this time it's his turn to mark LeBron James.

The Clippers have a lot of defensive candidates for LeBron James. Paul George, Leonard, and Mann are all prepared for him. Everyone will start marking the whole court as soon as LeBron James gets the ball.

LeBron James sluggishly passed halftime, organized the offense again, and chose to let Anthony Davis come up for the pick-and-roll.

Because the only real big man in the Lakers lineup is Anthony Davis, and his pick-and-roll effect is the best.

But after Anthony Davis and Morris, although his perimeter defense is not particularly good, he is still considered a top-notch defense in the league.

Morris stretched out his hand and stared at LeBron James' waist.

The latter used the dribble to force Morris back and prevented him from going too far, because Anthony Davis made an air cut at this time. If LeBron James is also allowed to rush in, then the Clippers' inside line will be a piece of fat to be slaughtered.

LeBron James dribbled the ball on the outside, but the Clippers' defense was very strong. He couldn't find any good opportunities, and finally made a three-pointer with a step back.

Of course the ball missed.

"Actually, LeBron James is not so smart at this game."

"That's right, the ball was too impulsive. In fact, they don't have to play inside. It's good to pass the ball more."

After getting the defensive rebound, Leonard handed it over to Qin Ming immediately. The latter made a long pass to Paul George in the frontcourt. His fast break caused the Lakers to return to defense quickly.

This once again consumed the physical strength of Anthony Davis and LeBron James.

Paul George waited for his teammates to be in place and passed the ball to Qin Ming.

The latter held the ball, faced LeBron James after using Leonard's pick-and-roll, accelerated in a straight line after the drag step and passed LeBron James, and then used a throw near the free throw line.

Anthony Davis still couldn't defend the ball and could only be thrown by Qin Ming.

"Qin Ming, this is a one-step pass over LeBron James, throw the shot from a position near the free throw line, and hit the basketball again!"

"Same as the last game, the Clippers' opening is still very hot, and it is really difficult for the Lakers to defend the Clippers in this state."

But LeBron James is not a character to throw in the towel.

He came back this time, with the help of Anthony Davis' pick-and-roll near the three-point line, he directly retreated and swayed to Morris, and then rushed towards the inside, causing a foul by Paul George and making two free throws.

Qin Ming returned a long-range three-pointer from outside.
