Chapter 311 The Scream of the Basket
It was 7:[-] that night.

Staples Center Arena.

Appearance ceremony.

Grizzlies starters:

Milicic, Warrick, Li Lei, Jones Sr., Lowry.

When Li Lei played, the Clippers fans booed the sky.

Sterling, who was sitting in the first row, laughed extraordinarily proudly when he saw the behavior of the fans.

It seems that he is not the only one who hates Li Lei.

"Stone, do you regret refusing to come to the Clippers?"

Sterling couldn't wait to appreciate Li Lei's embarrassed expression.

However, Li Lei just glanced at it with no expression on his face.

The real face is expressionless, and there is even a hint of killing intent.

Beside him, Lowry and Varrick felt a little cold.

"Why isn't the air conditioner on at the Staples Center? Is it broken?"

Lowry muttered.

Clippers starters:

Center: Chris Kaman.

Power Forward: Elton Brand.

Small Forward: Corey Maggette.

Shooting guard: Cuttino Mobley.

Point guard: Sean Livingston.

In addition, there is veteran "Alien" Sam Cassell.

The Clippers last season relied on this main lineup to reach the Western Conference semifinals and fought the Suns in seven games.

But this season, with the same lineup of the Clippers, their record has plummeted.

Li Lei carefully studied the tactical manual before the game and found out the reason.

Quite simply, Cassell was old and Livingston was overwhelmed.

There is no doubt that "Captain" Elton Brand is very strong and is a top power forward in the league. He was selected to the All-Star and the second team of the best team last season.

Maggette also has a pretty good scoring ability. In the fourth year of his career, he averaged 20.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

"Old Cat" Mobley still has strength.

Kaman in the 03 class is also very good at the center position.

Just on paper, the Clippers are actually quite strong.

But every time it comes to a critical moment, this team is always short of breath.

Looking back at last season's games, Brand and Maggette were always at a critical moment, relying on veteran Cassell to turn the tide.

But this year, Cassell is one year older, and his ability can't keep up. The Clippers have completely lost their tone at the critical moment.

Warm up time.

The two teams greet each other at halftime.

Maggette felt that someone was staring at him, and looked up, it was Li Lei.

Li Lei stared straight at Maggette, which made Maggette feel numb.

"what does this mean?"

I don't seem to have offended him.

No, you have offended Li Lei.

Because you're playing for Donald Sterling.

Maggette is really strong, and the muscle bumps are scary, especially the triangle and bicep, which are not only big, but also have a high degree of muscle separation.

In many media articles, Maggette is the guy with the strongest upper body among NBA players in this era, even surpassing Big Ben.

After watching for more than ten seconds, the corner of Li Lei's mouth suddenly raised: Ha ha!

If Li Lei and Maggette hadn't played against each other, it would be really easy to be deceived by Maggette's figure.

Don't look at Maggette's muscles, but his style of play is very soft.

His main scoring methods are mid-range jumpers and breakthrough fouls.

That's right, Porcelain King.

In terms of fouls, Maggette is the originator of Kevin Martin, James Harden, and Luka Doncic.

He hit 4605 ​​free throws in his career, while he made 4065 field goal attempts.

He makes more free throws than shots, which is a good reflection of his style of play.

In the environment of advocating confrontation at the beginning of the century, Maggette's style of play has been criticized by fans.

Fans who hated him dubbed him "a bad human movie".

What a fitting nickname.

Who wants to watch a movie that keeps pausing for free throws?

Li Lei didn't care about this.

How you play is your own business.

But what did Sterling say earlier?
Corey is stronger, better at driving, better at scoring than Stone...

Ha ha!

Looking at Li Lei's expression, Maggette's eyelids suddenly started to twitch wildly, and the ominous feeling from a week ago reappeared.

Drip!

Game start.

Milicic easily defeated Kaman, who seemed to have been added a "slow" debuff, and turned the ball back to his home half.

Lowry dribbled the ball steadily across half court and saw that Li Lei was already asking for the ball at the top of the arc.

Lowry passed the ball obediently, and then positioned at the bottom corner to open up space.

"Hey, Stone's desire to attack tonight is a bit strong, and he will take the initiative to fight at the beginning."

Zhang Weiping explained.

Li Lei stood at the top of the arc, holding the ball with one hand.

Confronting him is none other than "a bad human movie" Corey Maggette.

Looking at Li Lei's expressionless face, Maggette shuddered unconsciously.

"Strange, why isn't the arena turning on the air conditioner tonight?"

Maggette couldn't help thinking about it.

After all, his muscles are not as warm as fat.

At this moment, Li Lei pulled it up directly.

Dare to distract yourself in front of Li Lei, it's really courting death.

Maggette came to his senses and pounced, how could there be time?
Swish!
The basketball is urgent and fast, and it is shot into the basket as accurately as a missile.

3: 0.

"Shitou's ball is so decisive! It's energetic and neat, without any unnecessary movements."

Su Qun explained.

Zhang Weiping smiled: "It can only be said that it is too simple for the stone to beat Maggette, and there is no need for extra moves. This season, the stone has really evolved."

Shhh!
Clippers fans immediately booed a lot.

At this time, they didn't realize what was going to happen tonight.

Clippers offense.

"Captain" Brand took the ball in the low position, but instead of killing it, he stepped back and made a jumper.

Li Lei on the side quickly helped defend in place, and cooperated with Warrick, forcing Brand to lean back and make a direct shot.

Milicic deftly bypassed Kaman and took the basketball.

Nice pass.

Let me briefly introduce "Captain" Elton Brand. Many fans should know this name, but they don't know this player.

The No. 99 pick in the 20.1 class, 10 points and [-] rebounds in his rookie season.

到这个赛季已经打了8年，每一年几乎都是20分10篮板2助攻1抢断2盖帽，命中率50%左右。

Stability Canby Stone Buddha.

And the offense and defense are integrated, he is a top power forward, and he is very strong.

However, Brand's shortcomings are also obvious. His official height is 206cm, and he is only 203cm by visual inspection.

So in the past few years, he has become more and more difficult to mix in the low post, and his low-post shots have decreased year by year, and the mid-range shot has become the main attack method.

Li Lei grasped this point and quickly put in place the defense, forcing Brand to take the first shot and go straight to the three.

Milicic approached Lowry immediately, wanting to make a fast break.

However, Livingston showed excellent defensive ability and entangled Lowry.

"here!"

At this moment, Li Lei responded to Lowry from one side, and after catching the ball with his hands, he directly hit the basket.

Mobley tried to stop Li Lei, but seeing Li Lei's height and physique, he gave up and stepped aside.

boom!
Li Lei smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.

5: 0.

The basket was like a weak little girl, screaming sharply, resounding throughout the Staples Center arena.

And this was just her first scream tonight.

Clippers offense.

Brand continued to hold the ball. This time, he directed his teammates to take Li Lei to the other side to avoid Li Lei's help defense.

Which player who can make the best team is a fool?

Seeing Li Lei being led away, Brand began to dig in while sitting down.

Warrick, the spring man, can run and jump, but his confrontation is too loose and he can't handle it at all.

Brand turned around and squeezed Warrick away, throwing the shot.
