When Bickerstaff's defensive strategy lost the core figure of Liu Ren, the stimulation to Crawford seemed to become self-defeating.
Bickerstaff leaned on the chair and looked at the situation on the court with no expression. As for him, is he worried? He is really not in a hurry. It's up to people to make things happen. Everything he did has proved to be effective. As for Liu Ren's foul, this is beyond his control.
The same is true for D'Antoni. It's hard to say what kind of samples the bench lineup can be. Anyway, there will be a starting lineup for a while.
After playing a few goals in a row, Nick Young did not score two goals in a row. D'Antoni immediately replaced him. Seven minutes have been played in the second quarter, and the rotation will continue.
Jeremy Lin replaced Nick Young, McCollum returned to the shooting guard position, Antetokounmpo topped the small forward, and Green replaced Henry to the power forward position.
Since the special tactics can no longer continue, D'Antoni waved his hand in accordance with the regular play!
If the special strategy fails, then hard steel! D'Antoni is confident that his team will not lose to anyone!
The inner core of the Lakers this season has slowly transitioned from Gasol to Green!
Green is very suitable for players like Duncan and Garnett in the high post without the ball and the ball.
Green took the ball in the high post, pinned down the inside defense, and then passed to Whiteside high and low.
Whiteside received the ball from the inside, played it high, and made a step against Jordan's long arm to slam dunk.
The Clippers' offense was very fierce. Without Liu Ren's outside gate, Crawford seemed to be in no one. There was no one on the Lakers who could restrain the singles king.
Fortunately, Whiteside has full firepower and the Clippers are dealing with each other. D'Antoni never thought of using such a big man with excellent physical talent as a defensive blue-collar. Whiteside's high-handed touch feels pretty good inside. Excellent, this is totally worth developing.
Whiteside has always had confidence in himself and played with confidence. He blew Jordan once again and played a certain effect in resisting the Clippers' counterattack.
At the end of the second quarter, Whiteside scored 4 of 6 and scored 9 points and 4 rebounds. The Lakers led 67 to 63 by four points into the second half.
Finally able to return to the court, Liu Ren watched the opponent's attack so smoothly, if it weren't for the clever cooperation between Whiteside and Green, he would be overtaken!
But I can only sit on the sidelines, uncomfortable!
Returning to the court, Liu Ren gave Jordan a big cap with his first ball, nailed Jordan's layup to the backboard, and scored two points for a counter-attack dunk.
Paul was still on the bench at this time. The second and third quarters started to rest for a few minutes. The first half of this quarter is still time for the rotation, especially for the strong teams, because the real strong The team almost relied on a wave of substitutes to open the score.
In the past few minutes, Liu Ren played with McCollum, Bazemore, Nick Young, and Thackeray from the bench. Liu Ren topped the power forward position, relying on Liu Ren’s personal ability to make a burst of shots. The 8-0 scoring shock wave once again opened the point difference to more than 10 points, leading by 75 to 63 by 12 points.
Little Jordan brought Farmar and Rivers' rookie sons Little Rivers, Turkoglu, and Barnes to the bench and was beaten by Liu Ren alone. Rivers quickly replaced Paul, Crawford and others on the field.
Seeing Crawford on the field, Bickerstaff immediately replaced Nick Young, who had recovered his strength, to stimulate Crawford.
Sure enough, when Nick Young, who had returned full of blood, faced Jordan and Turkoglu and made a layup, Crawford held the ball like a dynamite bag and rushed inside, relying on Whiteside forcibly. The lever shot.
But Whiteside's ability to learn is quite good. After a few more times of this situation, he learned to behave, no longer rushed, but waited for the opponent to come over, and then jumped and interfered the moment Crawford shot.
Crawford missed a layup and Liu Ren grabbed a rebound. Suddenly, the referee's whistle sounded.
Liu Ren was stunned for a moment. Did he shoot a foul? It’s also right. It’s possible that the referee whistled like this. Whiteside did have contact with Crawford. Although Whiteside jumped up directly, Crawford had many whistles, and Whiteside also raised it immediately. Hand, he also thinks he fouled.
But when Liu Ren saw that the referee pointed at him, he immediately burst into a swear word, still in Chinese. When did he commit a foul? In this way, three offenses!
Suddenly Liu Ren saw that it was Crawford who had fallen to the ground!
I knocked him over? Liu Ren recalled when he hit Crawford, but he had no impression.
Slow-motion playback on the big screen, the NBA's professional point is here. No matter who the referee whistles the foul, the foul will be played on the spot.
Seeing a boo in the slow-motion playback scene, Liu Ren did not touch Crawford at all in the slow-motion playback on the big screen. Crawford himself made a knocked action and fell to the ground, flopping!
Seeing Crawford being pulled up by his teammates, Liu Ren smiled helplessly. There is no way to be angry. The referee's whistle will not change. Moreover, this is the home court of the Clippers. The whistle is always biased towards the Clippers. .
At most, Crawford flopped fine after the game, but he has committed 4 crimes!
Those of them who flop do not care about the fine. Compared with the fine, if they win, they will make everything.
Liu Ren was replaced ~EbookFREE.me~ The Lakers and the Clippers began a regular battle. Green replaced Liu Ren. Under his organization, McCollum, Whiteside, Nick Young, and Bazemore were four. Score consecutive points.
Crawford broke through for layups and cross-stepped jumpers to make crazy offenses, disrupting the Lakers' defense.
Without Liu Ren's outside interception, the Lakers' inside line became Crawford's back garden. After Paul came on the court, the Lakers outside line became even more miserable. Jordan and Whiteside had similar rebounds, and Whiteside could still suppress the offensive end. Little Jordan, but no one can stop Griffin. Originally, with Liu Ren, a ubiquitous helper, Griffin's short-range shots became constrained. Now he is completely let go.
Nick Young is very capable of singles, but his efficiency began to decline after seven or eight minutes against the Clippers. Bickerstaff had to replace him again. In just 12 minutes, Nick Young has scored 21 points.
The Clippers played a wave of offensive shocks before the end of the third quarter, leading the score, 89 to 91, and the Lakers two points behind.
The problems that have not been exposed before have all been exposed. Liu Ren has been the Lakers playing the most time last season and has almost never encountered a foul crisis. Without him, the weakness of the Lakers' weak defense on the outside was suddenly exposed.
