Chapter 52

Zubac raised it, and Tays squatted one step away from the three-point line, preventing Qin Ming from having too much room to break through, and also preventing him from having enough room to shoot.

The Celtics' defense was very fast, and Qin Ming didn't want to take it lightly, but he had to break through, because the opponent's defense line was greatly expanded at this time, and his breakthrough efficiency would be very good.

This is also what Stevens emphasized before half a quarter, because the Clippers don't like to attack the inside, so they can expand their defense generously.

Qin Ming took a small jump after dribbling the ball under his crotch, with his two toes on the floor, and continued to dig and start. The moment he started, his outside foot slammed into Tas's body, and he took the initiative to find a confrontation.

This made Tas stop his own progress, and was a little bit unstable when he was hit.

After that, Qin Ming's speed was so fast that Jaylen Brown, who stepped forward, didn't dare to come up to help defend, because he didn't expect Qin Ming's activation speed to be so fast, and he stepped from outside the three-point line to the inside in just two seconds.

Qin Ming played an empty blue and dealt a heavy blow to the Celtics' expanded defense.

Stevens stood on the sidelines, shaking his head unhappily.

Smart received the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Brown who ran up.

Jaylen Brown singles Shamet.

At this time, the teammates on the bottom line all opened up space, and the teammates on the line were not far away from him, so that he could have a point of response when he was double-teamed.

Jaylen Brown disguised himself behind the crotch and made a killer crossover, which is Deron Williams' signature move. After that, Shamet tried his best to keep up with him, but Jaylen Brown, who was already outside the penalty area, took another European step. The ball directly passed Shamet's head and passed him cleanly.

Jaylen Brown made a small throw under the basket.

The offense of the two teams went back and forth.

Because of the first quarter, the intensity has not risen to a high level.

Qin Ming took the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Paul George.

The latter continued his singles tactics.

This time, he swayed away from the opponent directly from the crotch, then went inside and took three steps, and directly faced Tays for a dunk!

"Paul George, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh>

"Let's see this ball. He dribbled the ball directly under the crotch, passed Tatum who wanted to take the ball, and then took three steps directly to dunk Tays!"

"Since the serious injury, Paul George has rarely played like this. It's really brutal. It reminds me of the series he played with the Heat. He passed LeBron James and dunked the birdman Anderson. The ball was really cruel!"

Paul George roared up to the sky, he dunked Tays directly, and caused a two plus one.

"This ball is dunked, and there will be an additional penalty!"

"It's amazing. Even if the Clippers don't have Leonard, I, General Joe, are still there!"

After Paul George and Qin Ming high-fived, they stood at the free throw line, dribbled the ball twice, let the basketball spin in the palm of their hand, and then made a free throw.

After the free throw, the Celtics called their second timeout.

At this time, there are still two and a half minutes in the game. If they want to widen the point difference, this timeout must play a role.

Rivers planned to save a timeout in this section. He held the tactical board and waited for the players to come over.

The starters of the Clippers almost played a full quarter, and they all drank water and sat on the bench to rest.

"We will be on the bench next, Morris, you stay on the bench, and everyone else rests until about 8 minutes into the second quarter, okay?"

"No problem, coach."

Rivers held his tactical board, and his eyes were a little bit happy.

Your own bench depth, Stevens, how do you play chess with me.

It is because Rivers has been on the bench for a long time, so Stevens is also riding a tiger.

Without a substitute, the opponent's starting lineup is likely to lead by a huge number of points, and the opponent's bench lineup is also very strong. It is not that simple for me to chase points.

What Stevens wanted was to take a brief lead, then ramp up in the third or fourth quarter and take the game down while you weren't used to it.

This is the favorite rhythm of the Green Army.

But this short lead did not come easily.

"Patterson, you play center and let Harrell play power forward..."

Rivers started his own tactical mode.

Qin Ming sat on the sidelines, took a sip of water, and teased Paul George's dunk just now with his teammates just now.

Beverly, who had been traveling with the team, sat in the back with an uncertain expression on his face.

Qin Ming has completely integrated into this team, and just yesterday, Rivers also said that Qin Ming is the core player of the Clippers, what about himself?
Some time ago, I wanted to attack this rookie and let the opponent recognize me, but now the opponent's position seems to be much more stable than myself.

He was sitting behind the bench, and because Qin Ming was playing better and better, these players gradually distanced themselves from him.

Because Qin Ming is likely to be a solid starter and become the Big Three of this lineup, these players are beginning to be convinced, and they naturally don't have a good impression of Beverly, who is speaking ill.

……

……

The score of the bench team led by Lu Wei and Harrell is not low. By the 8th minute of the second quarter, the two scored [-] points.

But the Celtics, who came back from the timeout, seemed to have been hit with chicken blood. They threw three three-pointers as soon as they came up.

Lu Wei's situation was not easy either. His offense was basically overwhelmed by Hayward. The latter's hits off the bench were extremely exaggerated. He made three of three three-pointers and scored four free throws.

Under the leadership of Hayward and Kanter, the Celtics played a 20-10 climax.

In this way, at 8 minutes in the second quarter, the Clippers' starting lineup finally appeared, but their players changed some.

Qin Ming is still starting, with Terrence Mann in the backcourt, Paul George and Patterson playing forward, and Zubac is naturally inside.

Terrence Mann's three-point ability is not very ideal, but the effect of hitting the basket is good, and Patterson is also a power forward who opens up space.

Mann made up for the shortcoming that this lineup is not good at attacking the inside, and Patterson also made up for the shortcoming of lack of space. These two players can be regarded as a good match.

The main offense of this lineup is Qin Ming and Paul George, two outside shooters, and can be matched with Mann's attacking the basket, and the offensive firepower is still sufficient.

But the defense is not easy to say.

Qin Ming is a defensive surprise player, with good times and bad days. Mann's defense is not bad. Needless to say, Paul George, Patterson and Zubac's double heights will naturally usher in round after round of shocks and challenges.
