At half past eleven a.m. Beijing time on January 9, the Los Angeles Clippers sat at home to meet the challenge of the Phoenix Suns. Compared with the victory or defeat of a regular season, the re-encounter between Durant, Wei Shao, and Harden is more reverie, and what kind of excitement the former Thunder three major generals present to us, let us wait and see.
At the beginning of the game, Harden relied on blocking and pick-and-roll to launch an offense, and in the opening quarter, he found Zubac to help him complete the offense. On the Suns' side, Durant did the same, using his offensive threat to tear up space and help his teammates score points easily. The duel between King and King does not fall behind each other, Durant directly shot the signature by blocking and dismantling, and the small card is even more unreasonable, in the face of Durant's long arm in response to a long-range three-point shot, Wei Shao triggered full of vitality from the bench, and used his strong body to eat Booker twice in a row, the latter responded with accurate shots for the first time, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately, always maintaining the same starting line, the Suns' outside firepower is really ferocious, and Durant's three-point shot has penetrated the net. At the end of the section, General Qiao was full of might, using his terrifying personal ability to eat Booker in a row. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers temporarily led by three points.
Coming back in the second quarter, Beal broke through the ball, and after several tacit transmissions, the veteran Gordon ignored the defense and hit a three-point shot, which was neat. Harden continued his hot form, and after two rounds, a two-and-one and a three-pointer were scored in succession to instantly establish a six-point lead. The Suns' tactics are very clear, when the Big Three face Harden's defense, others open up space, the big brother is also ruthless when he plays the former third brother, after taking a big step and passing it, Europe steps to the basket and scores, and Durant is getting braver and braver, and the next round of unreasonable three-point shooting again starts and falls, and the Suns extend the advantage to two rounds. The Clippers' other role players also showed good form, Powell seized the open opportunity and hit a three-pointer steadily, and Mann, who was a non-shooting point, scored two three-pointers for the first time, disrupting the Suns' original battle plan. There are many stars on both teams, and you will sing and we will appear. Harden caught up with the firepower, and after five consecutive points, the Clippers overtook the score in waves and built a seven-point lead. The Clippers became more ferocious, Zubas guarded the basket and sent a head-on block, and after the counterattack, George hit a three-pointer to give the Clippers a double-digit lead for the first time. The Suns responded quickly, Durant charged, and after the defense, he played hard into two plus one, and with the last offense, Bobel hit a two-point long defensive shot, and the halftime battle between the two teams came to an end, and the Clippers led by eight points.
Yibian fought again, Harden once again tore the formation with a quick ball, Mann hit his third three-pointer of the game after an ambush in the bottom corner, the Suns quickly had someone stand up and counterattack, Booker ignored George's defense and chased a three-pointer, Nurkic's blocking can not attract any defense, but let Xiaoka and Zubac steal together, Durant counterattacked and dunked to finish, and the Clippers took another double-digit lead. When falling behind, the Suns broke through the kettle and put on a five-small lineup, white-knuckle battle to attack with all their might, Zubac basket at a glance, relying on the height to expand the difference to 15 points, fortunately, after Durant passed Wei Shao in one step, he played two plus one against George, relying on his personal ability to forcibly stop the bleeding for the team, and the enthusiasm of the five small made the Suns continue to defend, Booker hit a dry pull in the conversion, and the Suns played a counterattack. I once thought that the three young and second brothers knew best in the past, the eldest brother Wei Shao launched a counterattack after facing Durant, Durant's undefattently reared shot a nail board blood cap, and Powell's dunk fan flew to find face for himself, and the Suns' small lineup was also a better space for offense to play, allowing them to hit three-pointers in a row, but Zubas's natural height advantage could not be avoided, and he easily scored high under the basket to stabilize the situation. With Beal's final breakaway, the Suns were still ten points behind after the third quarter.
In the last quarter, Durant taught the young Cofei a lesson, the three-point shot was unreasonable, and the defensive end was also active, interfering with the small card's stable layup, but no one followed up to defend it, and Powell's easy secondary offense scored. On the Clippers' side, the small card is also offensive and defensive dominant, first with Durant to come back to pull dry, and then the iron hand ruthlessly completed the steal in a row, hitting you unstable, with Theis following up the dunk to explode the whole court, the Clippers also extended the advantage to 15 points. The Clippers are fully on the rise, leading the offense with defense, Harden watched six ways in the process of counterattacking, listened to all directions to help Bobel suddenly lose a cold arrow, and fired another shot, and in the next round, the small card turned around and leaned back to pull out the bag steadily, and the Clippers had a wave of 13: 0 expanded the difference to a terrifying 20 points, the Clippers' offense was also smooth, the Suns had nothing to do, Harden once again used a wonderful pass to break down the Suns' defense, 24 points of the sinkhole, the Suns were unable to return to the sky, officially Mingjin retreated, the game officially entered the garbage time, and finally the Clippers defeated the Suns 138-111, with a 27-point victory to bring the focus of the battle to an end.
