Chapter 276

When Kwame Brown isolated and dunked over Dwight Howard, the cheers at Staples Center exploded like thunder.

Magic Johnson, sitting next to Jeanie Bas, even felt a trace of despair in his heart.

Dwight Howard was traded over by him with great effort, but unexpectedly... the Clippers actually used a bust that was mocked by the whole world to suppress him. Although Magic knew that such a round could not prove that Kwame Brown was stronger than Howard.

However, Kwame Brown's progress was visible to the naked eye. In the past, Kwame Brown couldn't even catch the ball to eat cakes, and now he even has isolation.

Why can Jack Fan always turn decay into magic, why can he always make his teammates become tough?

Magic Johnson was very depressed. He turned his head and saw Jeanie Bas almost biting her teeth.

"Relax, this doesn't prove anything."

Magic comforted Jeanie Bas.

Jeanie Bas squeezed a smile on her face. She was very nervous now. She was really afraid of losing to the Clippers again tonight. If they lose tonight, from then on, the Lakers must accept the rise of the Clippers.

Moreover, what made her panic even more was that once Fan Xi really got enough money and took over the club from that miser Sterling, the Clippers would only get better... because Sterling never thought about doing big things to make big money.

Why?

Jeanie Bas took a deep breath. The blue and white No. 10 player on the court had become her nightmare. She wanted to lead the Lakers to achieve great achievements and reach an unprecedented height in history. Now Fan Xi is a stumbling block, blocking at the intersection closest to the Lakers.

If this continues, it is very likely that before the Lakers win four or five consecutive championships, the local Los Angeles market will be bitten by Fan Xi.

"Dad, is this the league's number one center you're talking about?" Little Robert was in the stands, and he excitedly said to Big Robert: "Why can't he even defend our bust baby?"

Robert pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was very embarrassed. Since before the game started, he had been instilling in his children: The Lakers are always the Lakers, and no matter how hard the Clippers try, they can't catch up with the heritage they have accumulated over decades. Therefore, the platform is more important than hard work. The Lakers platform can easily recruit superstars like Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, which the Clippers can never do.

Robert hoped his children would become as pragmatic as himself, not always thinking about reaching the sky in one step. Finding a great platform is much easier than fighting for a world on your own.

But now, the picture on the court gave him the exact opposite feedback. The Lakers did not pull away the distance, and were even often made earth-shattering counter-kills by the Clippers. This time, even the number one center he talked about was eaten face-to-face by Kwame Brown.

"Child, I still need to teach you a truth. Never be blinded by temporary achievements and think you are omnipotent. Be patient, have determination, and don't talk big." Big Robert said sternly.

Little Robert shrugged his shoulders and cast his gaze toward the court.

At this time, the game restarted.

The Lakers regrouped, and the ball was handed to Kobe Bryant.

Kobe held the ball, and the Lakers' rhythm slowed down.

He isolated on the strong side, and Fan Xi defended him.

Fan Xi was dutiful, but Kobe used a clever post-up technique... Fan Xi also knew this move, but when Kobe performed it quickly, he was still tricked.

Kobe got a relatively easy position and hit the ball with a turnaround jumper.

This is undefendable.

Kobe's goal stabilized the Lakers' military heart.

And soon, the Clippers launched a counterattack. Nash made a quick assault on the frontcourt. Nash's body was well maintained, and there was still a lot of oil in his tank.

Although Chris Paul chased after him, Nash quickly rushed into the paint. He passed the ball at a tricky angle. Fan Xi received the ball and killed in again. The defensive line supported by Pau Gasol was shattered by two assaults. Fan Xi passed the ball to Kwame Brown, and Kwame Brown easily scored a layup.

After Kwame Brown scored, he excitedly pounded his chest and glared at Dwight Howard sitting on the bench, showing his domineering spirit.

Dwight Howard was very annoyed by this.

However, D'Antoni did not let him continue to appear.

The game continues.

The lineup composed of Kobe, Paul, and Gasol remained steady on the offensive end, and their offensive efficiency was very high.

However, looking back, Steve Nash repeatedly brought the ball to create damage. Nash is worthy of being the first two-time regular season MVP point guard in history, and his sword is not old.

Under his drive, the Clippers' offensive was like mercury pouring down, quite wow.

Of course, this is inseparable from Fan Xi's role as the Second Route Marshal.

Moreover, when Fan Xi becomes an off-ball player, his three-point shooting percentage is too amazing.

D'Antoni was stunned on the sidelines. This run-and-gun master can be described as drooling. When he watched Fan Xi and Nash's perfect combination, he couldn't suppress the fantasy in his heart: If the Suns had a player like Jack back then, who said they couldn't win the championship?

Give the 05-07 Suns a Fan Xi.

Can the Suns win the championship?

Yes!

Even if Phoenix's defense is mediocre.

At some point, D'Antoni's thinking was even thinking: If I am coaching the Clippers now, what kind of tactics should I start? Jack standing at the horn is more lethal than standing at the corner.

The second quarter reached the seventh minute, 51:50.

The Clippers overtook by 1 point.

The Lakers had to seek a timeout.

Since Kwame Brown dunked over Howard, the Clippers played more and more smoothly and frantically. They played pictures on the offensive end that made the audience on the scene and the audience in front of the TV applaud.

The Clippers showed their diversity on the offensive end. Steve Nash is like another switch for the Clippers. When this switch is turned on, what is placed in front of the fans is a dazzling offensive routine.

"The terrible thing is that the Clippers haven't even used their strongest offensive lineup. Kwame Brown played very well tonight, so they haven't used the inside core Blake Griffin. Who is Griffin? He is a fully evolved version of Stoudemire. In terms of physical quality, he is not afraid of Howard at all!"

The CCTV commentator said loudly and confidently.

Although the Lakers are also regulars in their broadcast, domestic Lakers fans are a large group. But against the Clippers, against Fan Xi and Yao Ming's team, no matter how popular they are, they must be treated as enemies.

Especially in the matter of trading Fan Xi, the Lakers did not do it authentically. Everyone is waiting to see Fan Xi slap the Lakers in the face.

The worse the Lakers are cleaned up by the Clippers, the better.

In fact, when CCTV was talking about run-and-gun.

The Clippers bench also made a decision.

Head coach Mike Brown finally called Blake Griffin's name, because the run-and-gun effect is very good now, and Kwame Brown is indeed tired after playing until now and needs to take a breath.

So, Mike Brown gave Griffin a chance.

Griffin jumped up from the chair excitedly and blew a kiss in the direction of the Kardashian family. He performed very cheerfully, just like a peacock courting.

Fan Xi frowned.

He doesn't like this look.

Although many people say he can't distinguish between playing basketball and chasing female stars, questioning his professional attitude.

But in fact, Fan Xi is very professional. When he is playing basketball, he never teases female stars on the sidelines. He always focuses on the game itself. And this is exactly what is most attractive: women like men who work seriously.

Griffin doing this is a bit putting the cart before the horse.

Beep!

The whistle sounded quickly.

Before Griffin went on the court, he shouted: "Let's expand the point difference to double digits."

He is full of confidence.

Along with him on the court were DeAndre Jordan, Dunleavy, Fan Xi, and Nash.

Although the Clippers' height suddenly increased, it is still a small-ball lineup in essence. Because Griffin and DeAndre Jordan are very fast. Dunleavy, Fan Xi, and Nash all have three-point ability, and Nash and Fan Xi can rush into the paint at any time.

To some extent, this lineup can be considered a "moneyball" formation in a special sense.

The Lakers put Dwight Howard back on the court and partnered with Pau Gasol, along with Matt Barnes, Kobe Bryant, and Chris Paul.

To some extent, this is the Lakers' strongest lineup.

Chris Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt. He quickly got rid of Nash's defense. When Fan Xi came to help defend, he made a pick-and-roll with Howard, took advantage of the trend to kill into the paint, and stood firm in the paint. Griffin flew over eagerly to make a contribution. Paul shook slightly, and he immediately jumped up.

Originally, Paul wanted to pass the ball, but seeing him jump so high, he immediately bumped into him cunningly... Beep!

The whistle sounded.

Swish!

The ball fell into the rim.

2+1.

Griffin went on the court and let the Clippers' original iron-clad defense lose, and the Lakers overtook the point difference.

The scene was jubilant.

Jeanie Bas even stood up and applauded.

She thought this ball was of great significance. She was very worried about being taken away by the Clippers' wave, so she specifically let Howard return to the court.

Who knew... after the Clippers subbed in Griffin, they directly handed over the original paint.

Swish!

Paul hit the free throw steadily.

The Lakers also got a chance to retreat calmly because of the free throw.

Nash brought the ball to the frontcourt.

Griffin quickly ran out to set a screen for Nash. His screen quality was far from Stoudemire's, and there was a big gap from Kwame Brown.

The quality of the pick-and-roll seriously affects offensive efficiency.

When Nash rushed to the free-throw line, it was sloppy. But he still distributed the ball to Griffin on the side.

At this time, Paul's switch defense hadn't passed yet. Griffin grabbed the ball. If he decisively and resolutely attacked the paint, no one could stop him.

But unexpectedly, after Griffin grabbed the ball, he didn't decisively and resolutely attack the paint.

Instead, he grabbed the ball and did a between-the-legs dribble, then changed direction... His movements were very proficient.

But there was really no aesthetic feeling, and Howard quickly switched defense up.

Although he rushed in a step against Howard, and with a beautiful back turn, he passed Howard by half a body.

But just when he jumped in the paint, preparing to dunk.

Howard came to his hunting position.

He jumped up, opened his amazing long arms, and slapped the basketball hard like an eagle hunting for food, directly suppressing Griffin's sure-fire dunk from behind!

The Black Beast pressed on the White Beast.

The White Beast's wingspan suffered a big loss in the end.

Not on the same level.

After the basketball was slapped down by Howard, it bounced directly out. Kobe was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the basketball, and passed it to Paul.

Paul went down quickly like lightning, and their tacit understanding had been played out.

Although Fan Xi chased after him, he was still two steps behind in the end, watching Chris Paul complete the counterattack layup.

Swish!

This goal made the Lakers fans in Staples Center boil. They roared from the moment Howard blocked it, and the sound waves filled the entire space.

Fan Xi frowned.

"The game has officially begun."

Chris Paul said a piece of trash talk coldly to Fan Xi when passing by Fan Xi.

Fan Xi didn't take him seriously.

At this time on the sidelines, the Lakers bench was also boiling, and Jeanie Bas stood up behind and high-fived Magic.

"This is the effect we want. Howard has finally integrated."

She said excitedly.

At the most dangerous moment, the Lakers erupted with the greatest energy. In two rounds, they expanded the point difference to 4 points.

The Clippers' run-and-gun doesn't look like much.

"See? This is historical heritage, this is the lineup advantage. In the face of real strength, taking shortcuts is useless." Big Robert started educating Little Robert again.

Little Robert pouted. He didn't listen to a word, he didn't believe these truths at all. Moreover, he understood all the truths. He just thought: If that damn Griffin hadn't been subbed in, it would be fine. He was basically a negative effect.

Fan Xi came to the frontcourt. He said to Griffin: "Play according to the tactics, buddy. Be decisive. When you fly in the sky, it's the coolest."

Fan Xi doesn't like Griffin dribbling frequently. Although this is his ability, he can do many things that other power forwards can't do. In the scouting report, people also say he played point guard and can be an organization forward.

However, the Clippers don't lack organizers now. Griffin should maximize his advantages instead of showing how omnipotent he is.

The Clippers are not a bad team, they don't need him to paint himself brightly.

Griffin didn't answer Fan Xi.

No one knows what he is thinking.

However, one thing is certain.

Griffin doesn't intend to stop his actions. He needs to be bright, he needs to show his energy in front of the Kardashians, and show where he is better than Odom.

In his view, making Khloe Kardashian proud of him is better than winning the team.

If Fan Xi knew that this was what he was thinking in his heart, he would definitely throw him to the bench.

The game continues.

Nash brought the ball over.

Because of Griffin's two bad mistakes, the Clippers failed to implement the speed.

When Nash reached the frontcourt, Chris Paul had already stood in a defensive position.

At this time, Griffin rushed out of the paint again.

Originally, Fan Xi let DeAndre Jordan go out to play the run-and-gun tactic.

Griffin's self-assertion changed the original tactic.

This led to... tactical confusion and accidents.
