Chapter 349 Crawford’s mental knife comes again
The game continued. In the next few minutes, the two sides played back and forth, and the scores of both sides also increased alternately.
For a while, no one could do anything to anyone.
Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides battled to 14:15, with the Lakers at home leading by one point.
"Judging from the first half of the first quarter, both sides played at their due level. Both the Lakers and Clippers played their offense very smoothly."
"Paul and Qin Xiao, as the core ball-handlers of their respective teams, performed very well."
"Compared with last season, Qin Xiao's passing ability has been greatly improved. In terms of assists, he even has one more assist than Paul."
"In addition, his current rebounding data is the highest of the two teams."
"Qin Xiao is so comprehensive! He compares assists with Paul, the league's number one point guard, and rebounds with Jordan, the rebounding leader."
"As for scoring, that's not to mention, as long as he wants to, no one can stop him."
"It is said that LeBron James is the representative of all-round warriors. In my opinion, Qin Xiao is the real hexagonal warrior! His comprehensiveness is no worse than James!"
Yang Yi praised Qin Xiao again.
While talking, Qin Xiao made another contribution on the defensive end.
He intercepted Paul's pass and directly converted it into a fast break counterattack.
Qin Xiao, who was charging at full speed, could not be stopped, while Paul could only catch up behind him.
A dunk succeeded and the Los Angeles Lakers added two more points.
In this competition, Qin Xiao was rushing to complete the tasks. He wanted to get the tasks assigned by the system as soon as possible and then get the system rewards.
Scoring 40+ points in ten consecutive games and breaking Michael Jordan's record is quite a challenge for Qin Xiao.
While ensuring that he scores, he also needs to ensure that the point difference between the two sides is not widened too much.
If the Lakers defeat their opponents in the first half or three quarters, his playing time will inevitably be reduced, and he may not be able to score 40+.
Just like today's game, if Qin Xiao uses his full strength, the Lakers will never be just a little ahead.
After the first quarter, 27:29
The scores on both sides were tight, the game looked very intense, and the audience was very engaged.
As everyone knows, this is all Qin Xiao's decision, and everything is under his control.
他打满第一节比赛，砍下15分、5助攻、5篮板、2抢断的全面数据，距离40分目标，还剩下25分。
The game entered the intermission period, and the camera cut to the sidelines.
The Clippers are on the bench.
"Our overall performance in the first quarter was pretty good, but we just didn't do a good enough job on the defensive end."
"We need to increase some physical confrontation and make the opponent feel the pressure."
“A lot of their shots were too easy and they had good touch.”
"What we have to do next is to increase our defensive intensity and knock down the opponent's touch."
Clippers coach Doc Rivers said seriously that he must beat the Los Angeles Lakers tonight.
Because last season, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, they suffered a sweep by the Lakers. Together, they lost seven consecutive games against the Lakers in a single season.
For the entire Clippers team, this is absolutely a shame.
Although they are both Los Angeles teams, they have deep grievances between them.
The Clippers want to replace the Lakers' position in Los Angeles, but they have never been able to achieve it.
No matter how hard they try, they are always beaten by the Lakers.
On the other side, the Lakers are on the bench.
"Their offense was in great shape today and we were too loose on Chris Paul in the first quarter."
"He is the engine of the Clippers and the most important point on the court. We must block the connection between him and others as much as possible."
"Especially with Blake Griffin, as long as they are blocked, the Clippers' offense will be relatively weakened."
Mustache D'Antoni's analysis was very clear, and his words got the point across.
Because Kobe, Qin Xiao and others also think so.
As long as Paul and Griffin are blocked, the Clippers won't have much fighting power, and the rest will be easy to handle.
"Then what should we do next?"
Qin Xiao asked tentatively. He wanted to hear D'Antoni's opinion. This old boy has grown up and no longer uses his so-called run-and-gun tactics like in the past.
At least D'Antoni has begun to pay attention to defense now.
Hearing this, Mustache smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple. Of course, our best outside defender must target him, which is you."
Qin Xiao was slightly startled. This was indeed a good suggestion. He could completely lock Paul down by guarding him.
"What about Matt Barnes?" Qin Xiao asked again.
"It's simple. He's not a core player. Just let Ron keep an eye on him."
Mustache looked at Artest and said.
Artest nodded: "I have no problem. Leave it to me to get Barnes. I know him very well."
Soon, the intermission ended and the second quarter started.
The two sides have entered a duel in the rotation, and the Clippers' bench depth is obviously better than that of the Lakers.
With super sixth man Jamal Crawford sitting on the bench, they won't have any problems scoring.
Although the Lakers also have veterans Jamison and Steve Nash, they are too old after all, and their status fluctuates greatly, so they cannot have stable guarantees.
After more than three minutes of the first quarter, super sixth man Crawford helped the Clippers take the lead with a mid-range jumper.
Looking back, Steve Nash took an open shot from beyond the three-point line.
"Bang!"
There was a crisp iron strike, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
The Clippers protected the offensive rebounds and quickly launched a counterattack.
During the march, Crawford used his signature back-up switch to successfully get rid of the defense and send the ball into the basket again.
Crawford can also be regarded as a representative of the sharp knife on the court. Once he finds his form, his continuous scoring ability is very terrifying.
He once had three 50+ performances in a single game, which is something that many active scorers have never done.
Tonight, Crawford's touch was overwhelming, the basket was as wide as the ocean, and he could shoot the basketball in his hands. It was like a Jordan was born, and he played against the Lakers without any temper.
Under his leadership, the Clippers quickly launched a 10:2 offensive climax, widening the point difference to more than five points.
This transcendent performance made Crawford so excited that he raised his hands in the air and interacted with the few Clippers fans present.
When he was with the New York Knicks, Crawford was the top player in the field of showmanship. His strong back-up breakthroughs were basically unstoppable.
Tonight, Crawford seemed to have regained his peak form. He even glanced slightly and took the initiative to look at Qin Xiao, who was wearing the No. 9 jersey!
