Chapter 115 Double Defeat
After a short break, the game continued in the second quarter.
The Clippers' offensive efficiency was still low, but they insisted on enclosing the defense, and finally reduced the Grizzlies' offensive efficiency to a normal level with a tough way of exchange. They only lost two points in a single quarter and trailed 39 to 58 at halftime. .
Su Yang's personal data is only 14 points and 5 assists, which is the lowest of the season, and his efficiency value is terrible.
The whole team returned to the locker room. Van Gundy briefly summarized and analyzed, pointing out that the Grizzlies made more mistakes and fouls in the second quarter than in the first quarter.
Stevens added that the Clippers are the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the league. Once the shooting touch is restored, the 19-point gap is like a small area of water on the side of the road. Try to be patient.
The views of the two improved the momentum of the Clippers, and all the players returned to the arena with high spirits.
In the middle of the third quarter, the Grizzlies' mid-range and long-range two-point shooting rate dropped significantly, but just as the Clippers were about to launch a counterattack climax, Conley and Mayo hit a total of 5 three-pointers, directly destroying the Clippers' chasing momentum. .
Su Yang took the initiative to take responsibility, saying that he did not do a good job on both offense and defense, and should be more aggressive.
After three quarters, the Clippers trailed 64 to 85.
Van Gundy took the data statistics table and pointed out that Conley and Gasol also started to make mistakes. The Grizzlies are about to become the end of their strength. The Clippers need to persevere and survive the last period of darkness before dawn.
Perhaps to show his confidence, the fourth quarter started. Van Gundy took regular rotations and lined up. Only two main players, Gordon and Davis, appeared on the field to lead the team, and the player who served as the power forward was unexpectedly PJ Tucker.
The scoring efficiency of the second teams of the two teams was almost the same. With Marcus Williams hitting a three-pointer, the Grizzlies led 95 to 71. Van Gundy immediately raised his hand to apply for a substitution, and there were 8 minutes and 38 seconds left before the end of the game.
Su Yang got up and entered the field, and caught a glimpse of the Grizzlies bench. Mayo and others were playing, as if they were sure to win the game, while Conley on the field was tired, and the impact of playing for a long time in a row became more and more obvious.
Compared with the Grizzlies, the Clippers are a little frustrated, and the impact of their hard pursuit to no avail is also obvious.
The game became like a duel between arrogant soldiers and discouraged soldiers, and Su Yang felt that the opportunity to overtake was coming.
But it is necessary to set an example first, and use practical actions to ignite the enthusiasm of teammates that is about to be extinguished.
The referee whistled and the Clippers attacked from the backcourt.
Davis led to the top of the arc, passed to Randolph on the left elbow, and strode to the sideline to open up space.
Conley didn't catch up, but stayed in place to attack, stepping back and forth quickly in small steps to try.
Randolph turned to face the frame, raised the ball around the top and then swept low, leaning on Griffin to break to the right.
Marcus moved laterally and pinched, Su Yang saw this and started to rush to the bottom line, Randolph hit the ground tacitly and passed the ball.
There was no defense at the basket, Su Yang caught the ball and took two steps, facing DeMar Carroll who was defending, he made a strong dunk.
The two collided sideways in the air, the basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, Su Yang fell to the ground, and sighs sounded in the arena.
The other four members of the Clippers seemed to be inspired by Su Yang, and they quickly returned to the defense to intercept the Grizzlies' fast break. Gordon chased DeMar to the basket and forcibly completed the nail plate cap, while Tucker followed up and grabbed the rebound. Cheers erupted in the arena.
Unexpectedly, Tucker hurriedly dribbled the ball to find someone, and actually made a walking error.
A chance to counterattack was lost, and there was another sigh in the arena, and Tucker held his head in his hands in annoyance.
Su Yang stepped forward to pat his shoulder to reassure him that it doesn't matter. By the way, he summoned his teammates to adjust the offensive and defensive strategies. He no longer insisted on fixed matchups, and whoever is suitable will play. At the same time, he expanded the defensive area to ensure that someone is always in front of the offensive player.
The referee whistled, the Grizzlies kicked off in the frontcourt, and Conley used DeMarre's cover from the bottom line to go around the top of the arc to catch the ball.
Griffin raised up with the help of Marcus' cover in the left elbow area, took the pass from Conley and flattened out.
Such an action clearly required a hand-to-hand cover. Su Yang ran after Conley, took the first step to press down, and directly dropped the racket to the floor, followed by lowering his center of gravity, taking advantage of his body, and entangled with Conley on the sideline. .
In the confusion, Conley made a mistake and pushed the ball out of bounds, and the referee whistled for a violation.
Su Yang threw his fists in celebration, and clapped with his teammates, and the momentum of the Clippers rose sharply.
The ball was switched, and Su Yang took the ball to the right wing and cooperated with Tucker in a pick-and-roll.
Griffin teamed up with Conley to attack, Su Yang retreated and dodged, and passed the ball to Tucker who opened the inside cut.
Grizzlies substitute center Haddadi stepped forward to intercept, apparently trying to create an offensive foul, but unfortunately his pace was too slow. Not only did he fail to prevent Tucker from scoring a layup, he also paid for the last extra penalty in vain, perfectly performing his own cleverness.
Tucker roared excitedly, Su Yang stepped forward to encourage him with high fives, and then walked to the top of the arc to wait.
Amidst the cheers, Tucker added a free throw, but Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound and raised his hands to look for his teammates.
Seeing this, Su Yang bowed and stomped on the ground, rushed into the paint area with two steps, leaped high as if participating in a slam dunk contest, reached out to grab the basketball in Camby's hand, calmly swung his arms in a circle, and staged a windmill slam dunk. basket.
The cheers in the arena exploded in an instant. Su Yang imitated Carter and ran forward with his arms outstretched. The Clippers bench stood up and cheered.
Conley sprints the ball across the center line and raises his hand to direct the attack from the right.The Grizzlies moved to the left one after another, and only Griffin stayed on the right waist, but he couldn't get rid of Tucker's defense around the front. The scene was very embarrassing.
Conley turned to throw the ball to the top of the arc, but DeMar caught the ball and encountered Gordon's close pressing, making it difficult to act.
Seeing this situation, Conley wanted to step forward to respond, but Su Yang went around and stretched out his hand to intercept.
Forced to turn and go right, DeMarre slammed Gordon to his right elbow and scrambled the ball away.
Griffin received the ball and raised it high, with his left foot as the axis and wanted to step forward, but was confused by Takka's defense in the lower plate.
Tucker raised his hand and slammed the basketball, and Griffin hurried to catch it, but pushed the basketball out of bounds.
The referee blew his whistle and called for a violation. Grizzlies coach Hollins requested a timeout, and the arena cheered again.
Su Yang strode to the bench and gave high-fives to his excited teammates. He said bluntly that even though he was still behind by 20 points, he could guarantee to win this game because the Grizzlies had physical problems and their mental state was also lax.
Van Gundy briefly concluded that he praised Su Yang's success in temporarily adjusting his defensive strategy, because Marc Gasol was resting off the court and the Grizzlies lacked internal organizational skills. Expanding the defensive range is a wise decision.
The short pause ended in a blink of an eye, and the Grizzlies replaced Haddadi with Gasol, seemingly wanting to stabilize the situation.
The referee blows his whistle, Su Yang catches the ball from the bottom line, goes to the top of the arc and cooperates with Randolph in a pick-and-roll.
Gasol lifted up and pinched, and his position was too far to the left, revealing a large gap invisibly.
Su Yang gave up moving to the left, adjusted the direction with a shocking dribble, and passed through the gap directly, piercing the Grizzlies' basket like a sharp arrow, but the other three Grizzlies couldn't react in time and did not defend. The whole team watched him take off .
With a bang, the score was scored, and the audience cheered.
The Clippers chased 77 to 95, and Gasol and Conley slowly walked to the baseline and exchanged rapid exchanges.
In the transition from offense to defense, Conley dribbled the ball across the center line and raised his hand to indicate that he would continue to attack from the right.
This way, the Grizzlies have played many times.
Gasol stood at the elbow, took the pass and turned around to pass to Griffin in the waist.
But Tucker defended hard and fast around the front. He was delayed for three seconds before completing the pass, while Griffin failed to catch the ball twice and chose to stop the ball to find someone. The intention was so obvious that even elementary school students could see it. come out.
The Clippers team went around or interfered with the passing route in various ways, but they didn't give an easy pass. The attack time was still passing quickly, so Griffin had to take a big step and forcefully jump and throw against Tucker's defense.
The basketball hit the basket and fell, Randolph hit the top of the arc, Su Yang caught the ball and turned around and rushed.
Conley gritted his teeth to catch up, but found that he was unable to catch up, and hurriedly reached out to grab the jersey for a tactical foul.
The referee whistled for a foul, with 6 minutes and 47 seconds left before the end of the game.
The Grizzlies quickly replaced DeMar and Marcus, replaced Gay and Mayo, and completely started the lineup.
On the Clippers side, Van Gundy thought for a long time, chose to leave Jordan on the bench, and then replaced Gordon with Barnes to avoid being hit by Gay because of the height difference, and emphasized not to worry about fouls.
Soon, the referee completed the arrangement and kicked off the frontcourt.
The Grizzlies used a close-fitting press, and Randolph went up to catch the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and threw it to the right wing.
Su Yang received the ball and turned around in a three-threat pose, then used Randolph's cover to enter the paint.
Mayo and others contracted to attack, Davis on the left wing was emptied, and Su Yang decisively hit the ground with a long pass.
I saw Davis catch the ball and make a three-pointer with a raised hand. It's a pity that the basketball smashed the basket and hit the iron.
The insiders of the two teams scrambled under the basket. In the chaos, Su Yang ran and jumped to catch the offensive rebound.
He landed and turned to the left, pretending to go to the bottom corner, but actually took off from the spot and made a throw.
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net. The Clippers caught up to 79 to 95, and there were waves of cheers in the arena.
Su Yang was extremely excited, and immediately ran to Kang Li's side when he landed, ready to press the audience.
Conley hesitated for a while, and signaled Gay to catch the ball and advance, and did not take the ball until he ran across the center line.
The Grizzlies still used the old routine. Gasol used Griffin's cover to go around to the top of the arc and set up a wall to block Su Yang.
Conley moved to the right at the start, and Randolph immediately chased Gasol, who was dismantled, after a delay in his step.
Su Yang took the opportunity to catch up to Kang Li, and he was very arrogant to press down, almost completing the steal.
Perhaps because of fatigue, perhaps because of fear, Conley chose to throw the ball to the left wing.
Gay caught the ball and faced Barnes directly, changing hands and shaking his crotch continuously, always without space.
Griffin went up to cover, Tucker followed up and delayed, and the situation became a small defense.Fortunately, there was not much time left in the attack, Tucker resolutely chose to press close to the body, and Gay lowered his center of gravity and rushed to the free throw line forcibly, making an emergency stop and making two points.
The basketball hit the basket and rebounded and fell, Randolph's chaos succeeded, and Davis took the ball and advanced.
Su Yang rushed to the right wing of the frontcourt, received the pass and raised his hands high, ready to pass it to Randolph who was stuck.
But Mayo turned his head sideways ahead of time, as if he wanted to attack, Su Yang immediately jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.
The Clippers caught up to 82 to 95 and played an 11-0 offensive climax.
Grizzlies coach Hollins got up and raised his hand, and asked for a timeout for the second time. Mayo and others looked confused.
Su Yang answered the bench, gave high-fives to all his teammates, then stood in the middle, and said calmly: "We won this game. They have been defeated physically and mentally. We are the toughest ones!"
