Chapter 307 Strength gap
In the second half of the second quarter, at 34:40, Paul led the team to chase the score to six points.

Li Yu rested for a whole session, plus a break between sessions, warming up so much that his body was almost "cooked".

A Shuai signaled the referee to time out, replaced Lillard and Love, and returned to the bench. Rice complained: "Coach, I will be able to close the point difference in the next round and re-expand the 9 points. You replace me at this time." "

"What we need is a quick decision to defeat the enemy's fighting spirit!"

A Shuai threw this sentence at Lillard and the two, then turned his head and said: "Li, it's up to you, beat Chris Paul!"

Can't do anything else, just treat all kinds of dissatisfaction!Li Yu complained in his heart and stepped onto the field.

finally come!Paul's surface is calm and breezy, but his heart is turbulent. If the big devil doesn't play, he will never feel at ease.

Currently, the players on the Timberwolves field are: Li Yu, JR-Smith, Trevor Ariza, UAE, McGee.

The lineup of the Clippers has not changed, and all the main players are on the court, as if they are waiting for Li Yu to play.

The Clippers attacked, Paul advanced with the ball, and was defended by Li Yu just after passing the middle circle.

He murmured in his heart, can he do whatever he wants with his physical strength?

Li Yu seems to have heard his heart, and he really does whatever he wants, without giving the ball holder a chance.

Facing the death entanglement of the defender, Paul felt a very headache. He couldn't find the shooting space for a long time, and he was a little anxious.

Find a gap and pass the basketball to Bledsoe, who catches the ball to face JR's defense and shoots in the middle distance.

JR gave a lot of interference, and Bledsoe's attack was short and hit the basket.

Seeing this, Paul yelled: "Rebound!"

Griffin was moved when he heard the sound. Without Kevin Love, no one could stop him from rebounding. He bounced like a cannonball.

"Alian!"

Before Li Yu yelled, Ah Lian jumped up, reached out and grabbed the basketball in Griffin's hand, and took the ball into his arms.

Griffin thought that he would definitely be able to accept this rebound, but he didn't expect that a yellow man would come out halfway and take the basketball away abruptly.

What is the origin of this guy? His strength is not weak!After landing, a trace of doubt flashed in Griffin's mind.

The two teams have played against each other four times this season. Either the UAE did not play, or Griffin was absent due to injury. The two have not played against each other. This is the first time they have played against each other.

Ah Lian grabbed the rebound and handed it to Li Yu. The latter played a defensive counterattack, took the lead and rushed to the front court, and succeeded in a one-stop layup.

At 34:42, the Clippers attacked. Paul ignored the physical exertion and forcibly passed the defender. He used his own breakthrough to attract the opposite inside player to bounce out, and played an alley-oop match with Griffin.

Griffin dunked and raised two fingers towards Ah Lian, which is considered revenge for grabbing a rebound just now!
At 36:42, after the return of the opposite core, the team was still clinging to the score, Paul took a breath, and in the process of advancing with the ball, he passed the offensive and defensive tactics of this round to his teammates.

From man-to-man defense to 2-3 zone defense, this is mainly to save energy.

After all, Wolong and Chufeng of the Wolves Trident have not yet returned, and he is saving his physical strength to wait for the Timberwolves to become complete.

Seeing that the team's defensive tactics have changed, Nigro nodded slightly. With Paul, the tactical master, the team can change without calling a timeout.

The 2-3 league mainly defends the basket, which gives the Wolves outside players a chance to shoot. As one of the top passers in the league, Li Yu attracts the opponent's defensive attention by relying on his own traction.

JR has the opportunity to get an open three-pointer. Today, this nerve knife has no nerves to play at all, and only the knife is left.

Whoosh, JR's three-point arrow is the flames of hell!
36: 45.

The Clippers have to save energy to play, and the Timberwolves generals don't have this concern. They strictly implement man-to-man tactics and don't give their opponents a chance to breathe.

Paul went around twice, but couldn't find a teammate who had a chance. Seeing that he was going to attack and violated the rules, he had to choose to attack by himself.

Whoosh, his mid-range shot is relatively stable, which can be called a big killer.

At 38:45, the team was still seven points behind, and Paul's mentality was a little bit broken. If the game continues like this, the score will never be evened out.

Paul thought about chasing points, but Li Yu felt that scoring was too slow, so he said to Ah Lian: "In the next offensive round, you come out and play."

Ah Lian nodded. He understood what Li Yu meant. In fact, on the offensive end, he floated on the outside line, which was more effective than the inside line.

Li Yu brought the ball to the frontcourt, easily got rid of Paul, who was physically declining, and got within the three-point line.

Griffin is a bit tangled, step forward to make up the defense, the opponent will definitely find the vacated Arab League, if you don't go forward to make up the defense, the opponent will easily score with shots.

In the end, Griffin chose to step forward to defend. He felt that the big devil was more dangerous than his opponent, Arab League.

Seeing Griffin rushing forward, Li Yu slammed the basketball and precisely pushed the basketball into Ah Lian's hands. The latter received the pass and took a step back from the three-point line to make a shooting motion.

Countless days and nights of hard training, the shooting action has long been engraved in his muscles.

Whoosh, the basketball came out of his hand, the flight trajectory was very straight, and it went into the net hollow!

At 38:48, the point difference returned to double digits!

Paul mechanically brought the basketball across the midfield. Seeing the big devil come up to defend, his mentality was going to explode. Their Clippers were the last team to finish the first round. There was not much rest time. He was forcibly consumed by the No. 0 player of the Wolves, and now he feels extremely tired.

Damn the Timberwolves are really bad enough to bully an "old" player like this!
Paul secretly complained, but he knew very well that the depth of the team's lineup is also a manifestation of strength.

In this regard, compared with the Timberwolves, the Clippers are not a bit worse.

Most importantly, the Timberwolves have two engines, while the Clippers only have him.

He can predict that when he is off the court to rest, assuming that the big devil is also off the court, the Timberwolves will still have the No. 0 engine to run with them.

This is the strength gap between the two teams!
"So far, Chris has almost never rested, but the team can bite the score, all thanks to Chris. Once he is allowed to rest on the spot, the consequences will be disastrous."

On the sidelines, coach Negro was in distress.

Just when he was struggling, the game on the court went on for another four or five rounds.

At 42:54, the point difference between the two teams expanded to 12 points!
At this point, the end of the game, less than 2 minutes left.

A Shuai made a decision that made Nigro feel incredible. He replaced five players on the field at the same time.

"The team is in full swing. Adelman changed players five times. How dare he!" Kenny Smith said in shock.

Barkley said calmly: "You have two lineups that can play in the playoffs, and you can play like this."

He could see it, the Timberwolves took advantage of the lack of physical strength of the Clippers, and beat them hard!
