Chapter 148 Fated duel, George vs Stephenson!

I have to say that McGrady's explosive power is indeed unparalleled.

After he took his long legs and rushed across the half, the Clippers players gave up defense in unison and watched him complete the offense in the Rockets half.

"bang!"

McGrady presented a light windmill dunk.

With the white jersey and his elegant figure, anyone who looks at it will sigh - white horse spear.

With his goal, the score came to 9:0, and the Rockets continued to expand their lead.

In the next round, the Clippers finally opened!

In the end, the veteran - Baron Davis stood up.

With the help of a screen, he succeeded in a collective mid-range jumper, breaking the deadlock for the Clippers.

But the good times didn't last long. In the next few minutes, the Rockets blossomed more, and once again hit a small climax of 8:0.

17: 2!

The point difference between the two sides has reached 15 points, and now, the game has only started in less than 5 minutes.

The Clippers coach finally couldn't hold back and invoked the first timeout of the game.

............

Clippers bench.

"Cheer up, guys!"

"It's only the first quarter of the game, so we can't just give up. This game will still be broadcast live across the United States. No matter what, we have to play the style that belongs to the Clippers!"

The head coach-De Nagro earnestly wants to awaken the fighting spirit of the players.

However, this little-known coach does not seem to have much prestige in the team.

Even though he was spitting all over the place, the players didn't respond, only a few players agreed and nodded.

"Lance, you talked so much before the game, so you have to come up with something."

"The Rockets are obviously playing with emotions today, looking like they want to eat us alive."

Old God Davis said empathetically.

He has been in the nba for many years, and he knows that this kind of grievance is difficult to win.

And Stephenson was the one who took the initiative to provoke disputes, so he naturally had to stand up and show corresponding performance.

No way, he went to fight the fire, but he hid himself, let his teammates wipe his ass for him!

"I know!"

Stephenson muttered.

He didn't regret the rhetoric he said before the game, but the progress of the game far exceeded his expectations.

Since joining the Clippers, Stephenson has become one of the core of the team, second only to Davis in the team, and basically equal to Gordon.

Coupled with the good performance, the junior thinks he has become a leader in the new generation of the league.

This also made him, who was already confident, even more inflated.

Before today, Stephenson even felt that he could challenge the 16-game winning streak Rockets on his own!

However, reality poured cold water on him.

The Rockets only have one George, which makes Stephenson unable to parry.

[A few months ago, he was not so strong at all, why does he feel invulnerable now? ]

The younger brother was puzzled.

When he left the Rockets, George was excellent, but his strength was far less terrifying than it is now.

"I will find a way to break through his defense, there must be a way!"

Stephenson muttered to himself.

On the other hand, the Rockets have made a fantastic start, but the soldiers are still serious.

There was only a fighting spirit in the eyes of everyone, and there was no trace of laughter.

"Everyone has worked hard and played very well at the beginning."

"Next, the Clippers will definitely try to open up the situation on the offensive end. We will continue to maintain our defensive strength, so as not to change."

Mark Jackson exhorted.

............

The time-out is over and the game continues.

As soon as the Clippers came up, they adjusted their offensive tactics.

Originally, they relied too much on the personal abilities of the three outside players, which caused the offense to stagnate.

After the timeout, under the command of Baron Davis, the Clippers began to move wildly, trying to create opportunities by moving without the ball.

And what they targeted finally fell on Yao Ming, who was inside.

For this reason, they even tore down the big center-Chris Kaman, and played a small lineup.

In this way, the Clippers did make some achievements on the offensive end, taking advantage of Yao Ming's weakness of slow movement, and got some open shooting opportunities.

But in contrast, their inside line is no longer able to stop Dayao's offense.

So the scene became very interesting.

Here the Clippers are desperately running for a chance, and the shot may not necessarily be scored.

Looking back, Yao Ming pushed his back and crossed into the penalty area, either hooked or dunked directly, scoring points very easily.

After a few rounds, although the Clippers began to score goals, the point difference did not narrow at all, but continued to be expanded by the Rockets.

Seeing that the scene was about to collapse, Stephenson, who spoke boldly before the game, decided to stand up!

I saw him raising his right hand high and asking for the ball, looking as if he was dying.

Davis was happy to watch the young man play, and with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball.

Stephenson didn't have any difficulty from asking for the ball to catching it, and George just watched from the sidelines.

But when he got the ball and was about to launch an attack, Paojiao suddenly took a stride and bullied him, making it very difficult for the younger brother to turn around and face the basket.

"Don't be so fierce, haha."

Stephenson made jokes while dealing with the physical confrontation imposed by George.

It has to be said that his ability to resist pressure is different from ordinary people.

Whether it is the boos of fans or the targeting of opponents, Stephenson can face it with a smile.

Of course, in this game, apart from his good mentality, he seems to have no other advantages.

Facing George's close pressing, it became very difficult for the younger brother to even dribble.

He first dribbled two steps back to open up some space, and then dribbled the ball under the crotch to find rhythm.

But George always reached out to try to steal, making Stephenson feel like walking on thin ice with every step.

Aminu, who was on the inside line, couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to step forward to set up a cover for the younger brother.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, the latter finally got a little space.

But soon, George squeezed through the pick-and-roll and appeared in front of him again.

Before Pickle returned to the defensive position, Stephenson made an in&out feint with his left hand, and then made a gesture to accelerate the breakthrough to the left.

George was shaken for a while, and his center of gravity shifted to the right, but he quickly made up for it by moving laterally.

However, Stephenson suddenly pulled back with one crotch, dribbled the ball to his right hand, and at the same time withdrew his body backward.

In an instant, there was a distance of about one meter between him and George!

"Hey, beautiful! Stephenson's dribbling is too smooth. He is indeed a strong contender for the best rookie of the year. He really has two brushes!"

Zhang Weiping commented in a timely manner.

Look back on the field.

George still did not give up his defense, kicked his feet on the ground, and rushed towards Stephenson again.

At this time, the younger brother had already bent his knees slightly, looked up at the basket, and was also doing the movement of collecting the ball with his hands.

Just when people were looking forward to whether George would have time to interfere and even complete the block... Stephenson changed his trick again!
