Chapter 82 G2 (8)

The Clippers sloppily carried out their final attack and ushered in the third quarter.

Their first offense was thrown by Lu Wei, and they continued to open the score.

Barea served from the backcourt and gave it to Brunson who came to catch the ball.

The Clippers have been leading this game.

All the Lone Ranger fans and players can be seen with their heads down, a little sullen.

No one can be happy with a [-]-point lead.

Carlisle almost walked to the opposing coaching team, and he kept shouting: "The game is not over yet! Continue our offense!"

Rivers stood up too, yelling, "Positivity! Positivity!"

The coaches of both sides began to let their players exert their strength.

Because the game in the third quarter is related to the direction of the whole game.

After Qin Ming's three-pointer, there was only one and a half minutes left in the game, and the Mavericks were only three points behind, so they still had a chance to overtake.

Barea organized from the outside, and after using Porzingis' pick-and-roll, he went straight down. After Porzingis blocked Paul George, he also ran to the inside. At this time, the Clippers made a certain mistake in their defensive decision-making.

"With the big man on, the pick-and-roll is pretty obvious."

“Yes, Barea and Porzingis rolled together, but all five Clippers players shrunk to the inside. Is this their play?”

"This is a point for the Mavericks. Barea passed the ball and the ball went to Seth Curry. The Clippers retreated. Seth Curry needs to make a quick shot."

Seth Curry didn't expect that the most critical ball of the game was in his hands. He shot quickly, and the basketball almost went out along Lu Wei's finger, almost touching it.

The basketball drew an arc, and the Clippers players began to get stuck, ready to grab the rebound.

Morris went to Porzingis immediately and squeezed him behind him.

The basketball hits the rim and the ball misses.

Porzingis jumped high, but only touched the basketball once, and the ball fell into Lou Williams' hands, who immediately called a timeout.

They still have a full five timeouts, which is considered an adjustment to the regular time.

The Mavericks players returned to their benches in frustration.

Rivers has already communicated with his offensive tactics coach. They have a sideline kick tactic and a bottom line kick tactic, and they are all ready.

When the players came over, Rivers took out his tactical board.

"Morris, you serve."

Rivers Sr.'s pen is on the sideline.

"Batum, you take Lu Wei's place. I want you to stand one step outside the paint, Qin Ming, you stand here."

Both Batum and Qin Ming are positioned near the paint.

"Kawhi, you stand in the corner to open the space for us. Paul, you stand at the top of the arc. Qin Ming, you are the ultimate shooter in this play. Watch your position."

Rivers then drew on the tactical board.

Qin Ming, who was standing near the paint area, wanted to go up to cover Paul George at the top of the arc, and then Batum, who was standing opposite Qin Ming, took two steps up, ready to make a down-screen for Qin Ming after the cover.

After Paul George used Qin Ming's screen, he would cut to the basket to drive the defense's attention.

After Qin Ming finished covering, he would run towards the bottom line. At this time, Batum stood in a position to block the defender for him.

Guys guarding Batum will stand still and guard him because this is going to be a big man.

After that, Qin Ming caught the ball from the bottom line, and he had a good open three-pointer.

This is a throw-in BOX tactic.

After that, if the tactics are not successful, it is necessary to delay the time, and then let the star play a simple singles with the help of the pick-and-roll.

The Clippers had already practiced this tactic in the summer, so naturally they all nodded, indicating that they knew it.

This tactic is very simple to play.

Qin Ming made another three-pointer.

"If the game continues like this, it will be difficult for the Lone Ranger team tonight."

"Yes, facing the Clippers' offense, the Lone Ranger is stretched. Although the player Doncic has a good offense, he only has offense and no defense."

Qin Ming held the ball in the backcourt, and he decided to continue to score for Paul George, who has a good touch.

But this time the Lone Ranger's defensive tactics were very clear, and they expanded their defense line as soon as they came up.

Brunson waited directly for Qin Ming to come over in the LOGO area, and other players also clung to the players they were defending.

Because both Qin Ming and Paul George need space, and they don't have any good insiders, there is no one inside.

In Qin Ming's eyes, this is simply a pool for rewarding points.

Qin Ming dribbled the ball under his crotch and passed the half court first.

After that, he put Batum up on the pick-and-roll.

He is sure that the opponent will expand the defense line, so Batum's outside shot after the pick-and-roll can cause the opponent's defense to fester.

After Batum's pick-and-roll, Brunson also wanted to go up to delay Qin Ming, but Qin Ming broke through very resolutely, accelerating directly from the other side, passing Brunson and Doncic, and galloping directly towards the basket.

Seth Curry wanted to come up to help defend the ball, but Qin Ming directly held the ball with both hands, made a fake pass, and forced him back.

Qin Ming's ball was like hitting an empty blue.

"Qin Ming, found Brunson waiting for him in the midfield after halftime, the Lone Ranger expanded his defense because the Clippers shot too many three-pointers."

"Break through directly after the pick-and-roll, Seth Curry will come up to help defend, Qin Ming, beautiful!"

"The ball was a pass fake, which directly deceived Seth Curry's defense, and Porzingis didn't dare to come up because Leonard also made an empty cut."

"He has a very deep insight into the defense of the whole court."

Qin Ming cut the Lone Ranger's defense and made Carlisle's expansion tactics fail.

However, Carlisle has already figured out how to deal with it.

He crossed his arms and didn't call a timeout, because his point difference was too big, and he called two timeouts in the first quarter, so he could only call one timeout in the second or third quarter.

He is in no hurry.

Doncic knows how to do it.

The latter held the ball, faced Paul George, and dribbled the ball under the crotch again and disguised himself in front of his body, but this time he made a probing step again, followed by a retreat step to bow to Buddha.

This ball has been successful too many times in this game. Paul George really took a small step up, and Doncic broke through directly. Facing Zubac's defense, he directly threw the ball high.

This is Doncic's unique way of playing.

Slow, but full of rhythm.
