Chapter 179 For Arrangement
Paul is a very powerful point guard. Although he had completely different playing styles before and after the serious injury, he still sat firmly as the number one point guard for many years in this situation, and his strength is beyond doubt.

Clarkson is much inferior to Paul, and even Paul, who has declined, cannot hold a candle to him.

Paul has strong field experience and adaptability. Taking advantage of Clarkson's elbow extension, he fell back directly and cheated offensive fouls in the form of flops.

The referees have always been strict with rookies. Seeing that Paul was pushed to the ground by Clarkson, they immediately called Clarkson an offensive foul.

Scott knew that adjustments should be made, and decisively made a pause gesture to stop the progress of the game.

TJ Warren, the newcomer, was the first to stand up from the bench and give his seat to the players on the field.

Xu Tian knew that he would be on the field soon, so he sat still and listened quietly to Scott's tactics.

Sure enough, the first thing Scott said was, "Xu, replace Jordan Clarkson after the timeout ends."

Xu Tian said yes, which was an answer to Scott.

Scott didn't care about Xu Tian's indifference, turned around and took the tactical board from Madsen, and began to arrange the offensive and defensive tactics on the field.He once coached Paul and is very familiar with this super point guard, and all the tactics he deployed are very targeted.

Coach Rivers squatted in front of the bench, spoke out his well-thought-out tactics, and asked Griffin and Jordan to strengthen the protection of rebounds.The Clippers have a great advantage inside. If they can't make full use of it, they can't suppress the Lakers at all.

TNT cut back from the commercial, and Barkley and Kenny Smith seamlessly connected the commentary without wasting any telecast time.

The cheerleaders performed hard to keep the atmosphere in the venue in a hot state, so as not to be cold because of the boring timeout.

Fans at the scene saw Xu Tian take off the warm-up clothes used to keep warm, and there was a chaotic noise in the originally peaceful stadium.I don't know when, just watching Kobe can no longer satisfy the fans, they want to see Kobe, Xu Tian and George together.

The Clippers also sent all the starters, allowing Mbah a Moute and Wesley Johnson, who performed well, to rest.

Scott did not mention whether to chop Joe when laying out the tactics.He knew that Xu Tian was a thoughtful player, so he left the decision on this matter to him.

Barkley saw Xu Tian walking onto the court with confidence, and said, "Kenny, do you feel this way? It seems that as long as Xu Tian plays, the Lakers will not lose."

Kenny Smith laughed: "To be honest, I don't feel that way. But I still look forward to him staying on the court, so the game will be very interesting."

"Different routes lead to the same goal, different routes lead to the same goal!"

The on-site commentary cannot replace the game itself. Griffin kicks off and continues to attack and defend on the court.

Paul dribbled the ball slowly across half court, facing the tall and long-armed Xu Tian at the top of the arc, and continued to play pick-and-roll cooperation with Griffin.

Xu Tian and George switched positions flexibly at the top of the arc, always staying in front of the Clippers' two offensive players, allowing George, who is excellent in defense, to cover Paul.

Scott knows that although Paul is only 183 cm tall, he loves physical confrontation. This is why it was difficult for Paul to beat Deron in the first place, and this is what he asked George to do.

George was originally the boss of the Pacers. Since he came to the Lakers, he has been mostly used as a defensive engineer. Although he is a bit depressed, it does work very well.

Paul's physical confrontation is not as good as George's, so he can only change his offensive method and return to the top of the arc after dribbling.

This back and forth, the 24-second attack time, only the last 5.6 seconds left.

Paul's height has always been a disadvantage. George's outstretched arms blocked his sight and passing lines, so he could only start individual singles in an emergency.

Xu Tian is responsible for defending Griffin.He circled in front of Griffin and blocked the possibility of Paul throwing the ball to the basket by blocking the passing line.

Paul made a secret effort with his left elbow to push away George, who was on the defense in front of him, and made a direct shot with a step back.He's not good at this type of offense, but the clock is running out and he doesn't have very good options.

clang!
The basketball landed at the front of the rim, and the rim couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Jordan, Griffin, and Tyson Chandler looked upwards, and jumped up with their knees vigorously, competing for the basketball in midair.

Jordan has a favorable position, but he is afraid that Tyson Chandler will hit the ball out, point the basketball with his finger, and want to use the speed of the bounce to get the rebound steadily.

Xu Tian reacted fast enough to take off when Jordan was about to hit the ground, quickly occupy the air supremacy, and took the defensive rebound strongly.

George and Kobe instantly turned to the frontcourt and started a fast break.

As soon as the basketball fell from the air, it flew out of Xu Tian's hand again, spinning and flying towards the front of the two fast breakers.

Kobe looked at where the ball fell and knew that Xu Tian was passing the ball to George, so he took the initiative to slow down his running speed and give George the opportunity to perform.

George accepted the team's task of defending the engineers without complaint. He often felt uncontrollable anger in his heart, picked up the basketball unceremoniously, and vented his anger on the unguarded basket.

Aerial work, very violent!
The players pursued by the Clippers slowed down slowly, and Redick, who was running at the forefront, came out of the baseline and started to serve.

Coach Rivers roughly understood the Lakers' arrangement, put his hands around his mouth, and shouted at Redick, asking him to send the ball to Griffin.

Paul glanced at Coach Rivers suspiciously, but didn't respond, and ran forward empty-handed.

Since Steve Kerr often let Draymond Green organize at the top of the arc, coaches in the league have been trying to let the team's power forwards control the ball. Now Scott has arranged tactics for Paul's organization. It is the right time to practice this offensive tactic.

Griffin's dribbling ability is not bad, he dribbles the ball across the half court with ease, stands at the top of the arc in a decent manner, and organizes the team's offense.

After all, Paul is a veteran, with no more physical strength than before. Standing outside the left three-point line, he is only responsible for attracting Xu Tian's defense, not helping Griffin move.

Redick is much more active than Paul, moving from the weak side to the strong side, and from the strong side to the top of the arc, trying to find opportunities to make shots.

TJ Warren chased Redick regardless of his physical strength, leaving him no room to attack.

Seeing that his teammates had no chance to run, Griffin simply lowered his center of gravity and dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and began to play individual singles.

George also lowered his center of gravity and spread his hands like wings to expand his defensive range as much as possible.

Griffin is physically strong enough to use his strength advantage to crush George and stumble towards the penalty area.

Xu Tian burst out from the side and easily broke the ball from Griffin's hands.
