Chapter 279

The second half of the game officially started.

The Lakers used the starting lineup.

The Clippers were slightly modified: Fan Xi, Hamilton, Jimmy Butler, Kwame Brown, DeAndre Jordan.

Taking NBA 2K11 as an example, the Clippers hoarded a large number of players with values around 70, which is the median of the NBA.

In contrast, the Lakers' starting lineup, except for Ron Artest, Pau Gasol's value is 89, and the other three are all above 95.

The whistle sounded, and Chris Paul increased the offensive rhythm.

He launched a vigorous offensive. Under Howard's screen, he quickly rushed into the paint and went straight to Kwame Brown... Beep!

The whistle was blown quickly.

Although Kwame Brown's defense was very clean, Paul was still good at seizing the opportunity. He jumped up and clamped Kwame Brown's hand, deliberately making an exaggerated shooting action, and tricked the referee's whistle.

"This is a dirty actor."

Kwame Brown said to Fan Xi angrily.

"Calm down, calm down." Fan Xi said to Kwame Brown: "He just wants to anger you, don't be led by him."

Kwame Brown took a deep breath, and he slowly calmed down.

In his heart, he remembered what Chen Ye said when he taught him Tai Chi: The heart is like ice, and the sky does not panic.

Anger is punishing yourself with other people's stupidity. Anger is leaving room for the devil. Anger is letting your nose be put on a bull ring by others.

Kwame Brown remembered many classic quotes from Master Chen Ye for a while.

As one of Master Chen Ye's best disciples within the team, he learned very deeply in this regard.

To some extent, although Kwame Brown entered the league and played for 10 years. However, in many ways, he is still a blank sheet of paper. Chen Ye left his mark on this blank sheet of paper.

This will benefit Kwame Brown for life.

"Chris, I can predict your fate tonight."

Kwame Brown suddenly spoke to Paul who was preparing to shoot free throws: "If you don't make this shot, you will lose the game tonight."

This trash talk came very abruptly, and everyone around was caught off guard.

In their impression, Kwame Brown on the court is a bitter image, and he can even talk trash now.

"Do you think I will be disturbed?" Chris Paul said dismissively.

"No, not disturbed. It's the fluctuation of fate. If you don't make it, you will definitely lose tonight." Kwame Brown said mysteriously, like a wizard full of mystery. It's just that he didn't light a sage to do a ritual in his hand.

Chris Paul shook his head.

He took a deep breath, he looked at the rim, and adjusted his rhythm.

Kwame Brown's trash talk put great pressure on him, because this game is too important for him, and he can't afford to lose.

Huge psychological pressure passed from his heart to his hands.

He tried hard to adjust, and then threw the basketball out... At the moment of throwing it out, he felt huge panic.

Swish!

The basketball rubbed the net and shot directly out of the field. It didn't even touch the rim.

Paul knew it was short when he shot it.

Hehe.

Kwame Brown's laughter carried a mysterious atmosphere.

He looked at Chris Paul: "Fate is set."

Paul stabilized instead after the huge panic. "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

Kwame Brown smiled faintly: "Believe it or not, just ask your own heart."

Swish!

Paul made the second free throw.

"This is my answer." Chris Paul declared strongly to Kwame Brown when he turned back.

Kwame Brown shrugged his shoulders and said: "Too late."

Kwame Brown maintained a stable posture from beginning to end, and there was a bit of mystery in the stability.

Originally Chris Paul wanted to mess with Kwame's mentality, but now, Kwame Brown messed up Chris Paul's mentality a bit.

Fan Xi couldn't help but like Kwame Brown in his heart, and even felt that this guy should be renamed: Kwame-God-Stick-Brown.

Fan Xi reached the frontcourt, and it was Kobe Bryant who came to defend Fan Xi.

Fan Xi and Kobe tangled. When he broke through to the free-throw line, he passed to Jimmy Butler. Butler held the ball and rushed straight into the paint. Facing the paint guarded by Dwight Howard, he jumped up and tried to dunk, but was pulled down directly by Howard in the air.

Beep.

The referee blew the whistle, and he walked to the free-throw line.

Both teams played very tightly, and the defensive intensity was great.

Swish!

Swish!

Butler made both free throws.

The game continues.

The Lakers' rhythm was still fast. Chris Paul rushed into the paint and passed the ball to Pau Gasol, who easily hit a floater.

Changing sides to fight again. Fan Xi isolated Kobe. Under Kobe Bryant's crazy defensive pressure, he used an ultra-high-difficulty fadeaway jumper to complete the offense, paying tribute to Kobe: At that time, Fan Xi didn't even have a shooting angle, but he still hit it forcibly.

This ball raised the Clippers' morale very much.

But looking back, Kobe assisted Dwight Howard to complete a dunk.

Howard gradually found his sense of position. Kwame Brown defended very hard, but at this moment, they were indeed not players of the same level. Although Kwame Brown's improvement was very large.

Howard turned around and alley-ooped the basketball into the rim.

Mike Brown had to change defensive strategies on the sidelines, shrinking the paint.

Then, such changes could not solve the Clippers' problems. This is a headache for the head and a foot for the foot.

The Lakers have explosive points inside and outside.

The Clippers don't have a place that can hit the Lakers' tactical contraction.

Fan Xi was forcibly isolating. Fan Xi and Kobe were fighting. Fan Xi hit the basketball into the rim with a floater that completely lost its angle under Kobe's crazy defensive pressure again.

Fan Xi likes this kind of high-difficulty defense. The higher the difficulty, the higher his shooting percentage.

This is Fan Xi's method of killing strong teams.

The Miami Heat were killed by him like this before.

Because once Fan Xi enters this super high-difficulty scoring mode, the other side will double-team, and once the other side double-teams, it will naturally leave other positions empty. The Clippers can create strategic advantages through Fan Xi's strong point, point to surface, and suppress in all directions.

But the Lakers didn't do that.

Or rather, Kobe Bryant didn't do that.

Kobe is a player who gets stronger when he meets the strong. When he gets into a fight with his opponent, he will never seek help from teammates, nor will he allow teammates to intervene.

He will isolate to the end.

Kobe's tough personality caused Fan Xi's strategic intent to disintegrate.

The Lakers easily responded on the offensive end by virtue of their overall advantage.

Both sides played back and forth.

The Lakers looked very relaxed.

Fan Xi looked extremely powerful, and even had a feeling of Fan Xi fighting five.

"Jack Fan reminds me of Allen Iverson. They probably like this title of lone hero very much." Bill Simmons sarcastically said on TV: "Perhaps, Jack Fan just wants to win a title of 'glorious defeat' in the Christmas game. If so, his wish will come true."

Bill Simmons has a kind of literati-style "poisonous". This yin and yang strange sentence intends to erase all of Fan Xi's efforts, and even put a hat of "lone wolf" on Fan Xi.

When the third quarter played for more than 6 minutes, the Lakers requested a timeout.

At this time, the Lakers led 86:83 by 3 points.

Fan Xi almost covered all the Clippers' offense, and Kobe Bryant's high-intensity defense gave him a lot of room to play.

At this time, D'Antoni found that Kobe's physical fitness had a rapid decay effect, so he requested a timeout and let Kobe go off the court to rest.

Although Kobe refused this arrangement in his heart, he was worried that Fan Xi, who had a hot hand, would explode and take the game away.

However, D'Antoni persuaded Kobe. D'Antoni hoped that Kobe would believe in the team's young players and give them a chance. If Kobe had to do everything himself, the Lakers' chemical reaction would not be very good in the playoffs.

Kobe obeyed the overall situation.

The Lakers used Matt Barnes to replace him.

At the same time, the Clippers on the other side also made changes. Jimmy Butler performed mediocrely and was replaced by Vince Carter, Grant Hill replaced Hamilton's position, Rasheed Wallace volunteered to come to the power forward position, and the center was topped by Kwame Brown.

Blake Griffin asked to fight Mike Brown and Fan Xi again at this time.

He said that the team needed him, and now the team needs a powerful second scoring point to share the pressure for Fan Xi.

He said it very correctly.

The team really needs him very much.

However, his previous performance was chilling. No one wanted to bet on Griffin's professional spirit in such an important game.

Fan Xi didn't speak.

Mike Brown refused him directly.

Then, Blake Griffin was furious.

He was like a spoiled child who couldn't be satisfied.

He made an extremely calm behavior again. He took off his jersey, threw it into the stands, walked toward the player tunnel, and left gracefully without looking back.

This time.

The entire Staples Center was in chaos.

Lakers fans looked at the Clippers bench with eyes watching a good show, while Clippers fans were uneasy, full of pessimism.

"The Clippers' internal problems have become prominent again. I don't know what excuse they will use to explain their infighting this time? It seems that Jack Fan, who is considered by people to have extreme leadership, cannot suppress the team's rising stars..., Griffin cannot tolerate a team with Jack Fan as the core."

Bill Simmons fell into the well on TV.

He is indeed the talent ESPN needs most.

But this sentence of his actually has a big problem, that is, Griffin is not a rising star. Griffin's background, background, and the time he joined the Clippers are far earlier than Fan Xi.

Moreover, after Griffin left, there was no chaos on the Clippers bench.

His departure was a relief to everyone.

This led to Rasheed Wallace's active application to fight.

Beep!

The whistle sounded quickly, and the game continued.

When Fan Xi walked onto the court, he clearly heard Khloe Kardashian shouting from behind: "Jack! Jack! I need you to give me an explanation."

She was very dissatisfied that Fan Xi didn't cover Griffin, and even didn't let Griffin have any performance opportunities in such an important game.

In her view, Fan Xi should take care of her little lover and should let Griffin become the most shining forward on the court: Griffin has this ability.

Fan Xi turned his head, he raised his eyebrows, and he replied to Khloe Kardashian: Soon, I will give you an explanation soon.
