Chapter 248

Cold knowledge, before Westbrook entered the league, he was a super defensive leader.

During the NCAA period, he was elected the Defensive Player of the Year in the Pacific Ten League during his sophomore year and was selected to the first team of the All-Defensive Team.

Reluctantly after entering the NBA, the Thunder held him in their hands for fear of falling, and for fear of melting in their mouths, they were not willing to let him put down his body to hone his defensive skills.

When he was young, he could rely on his talent to be fierce on the defensive end, but when he was old, his physical fitness declined, and his defense directly became thousands of people riding thousands of people.

And his gamble-like stealing characteristics still haven't changed. If he didn't want to reach out for Li Kaiwen's ball this round, he wouldn't be passed by Li Kaiwen so easily!

At this time, Li Kaiwen did not accelerate to the end. Looking at George and Leonard who were in front of him, he took the initiative to slow down, and used his butt to resist Westbrook who was chasing after him.

In an instant, his buttocks were supported by Westbrook's hard... thigh muscles. With the help of the reaction force, Li Kaiwen took another big step forward, completely throwing Westbrook away.

The shooting space has been formed, Li Kaiwen is about to take off, and Paul George has rushed in front of him, forming a second line of defense.

This is why Tyronn Lue dared to boldly use Westbrook to defend Li Kevin. Even if Westbrook is stepped over, George and Leonard will always be behind him.

Westbrook, you fly bravely, and the striker twins will always be with you!
In an instant, Li Kaiwen caught sight of Hachimura who was emptied by George, and with a slight shake of his little hand, the basketball flew into Hachimura's hands from the small gap between the two.

"Well, Li Kaiwen has really improved a lot after the first round of training."

"He didn't step on the accelerator to the end, but took the initiative to slow down to block Westbrook, leaving a lot of room for his subsequent choices."

"No, isn't Rui Hachimura's opportunity coming?"

Hearing Ke Fan's words, both Yang Yi and Wang Meng nodded.

Always being fast is not a good skill, only if you can be fast or slow, nine shallow and one deep, the Clippers who can rush are hard to guard against!

But then, the scene where everyone expected Rui Hachimura to score easily did not appear, because Leonard rushed over as early as the moment Kevin Lee passed the ball, perfectly interfering with Rui Hachimura!

"Hiss~!" The three people in the Penguin live broadcast room gasped. The Lakers' perfect chance ball was pushed down by the Clippers' double star with their own defensive ability!
Zubac grabbed the rebound and announced the end of the defensive round. George immediately shook his head at Li Kaiwen, pretending to say:

"Rookie, as I said, I will let you get 15 points in a game. The share is not much, so you can save it."

After defending the Lakers' offense, Tyronn Lue immediately yelled from the sidelines, asking Leonard to do the offense himself in the next round.

But when you have Jordan on your team, it's hard not to hand him the ball and let him figure everything out!
Westbrook didn't pick and roll this round. He actively slowed down near the three-point line and passed the ball to Leonard who was pulled to the elbow.

Leonard was about to play Rui Hachimura in singles. He had an iceberg face, as if everyone owed him money.

After the three threats, he suddenly released the ball and accelerated to the left, and with a body contact, he completely pushed Hachimura away.

Leonard's weight of 104 kilograms is one of the most powerful heavy forwards since James. His speed is not fast, and his breakthrough is completely done by force!

Leonard knew Rui Hachimura would be back soon, but it didn't matter.

All he needs is a sliver of shooting space.

Just two steps in, Leonard straightened up and took off for a mid-range shot.

Rui Hachimura had already swooped in front of him, but his outstretched arms were completely beyond Rui Hachimura's defense, and he scored easily!
Powerful strength and soft touch, these two relatively contradictory attributes are combined so well in him!
You know, even James can't do this, and he has always been criticized for his stiff shooting throughout his long career.

4 to 4, the two teams started with a tie.

And the score distribution of the two teams also seems to indicate the direction of today's game. Leonard, in the posture of a god of war, faced the duo of Li Kaiwen and thick eyebrows!

After the first quarter, the two sides played extremely anxiously, 35 to 33, and the Clippers trailed by two points.

On the Clippers side, Leonard scored 15 points alone, hanging the opposite Rui Hachimura in the sky and whipping him continuously.

Rui Hachimura is a qualified starting striker, but it is still not enough to put it in front of top strikers such as Kazi and Tatum.

The score distribution of the Lakers is relatively balanced, with thick eyebrows scoring 8 points, Shelby 5 points, and Dun Luo 6 points.

Since Li Kaiwen stunned everyone with a dunk in the opening game, he has become more restrained on the offensive end, and he scored the fewest points in the starting lineup.

But he used his own organization to thread the needle for the team's offense, watching the assists easily accumulate to 5 times.

So now Li Kaiwen is like a gourd.

If you hold down the side where he scored, then the side where he assists is completely irresistible.

In the last round of the game, the Warriors' strategy to lock up Kevin Li was very simple. No matter when and where, they double-teamed him and forced him to pass the ball to his teammates.

The Clippers' defensive resources are much richer. Not only do they have the overwhelming Zubac on the inside, Paul George and Leonard on the front line are even more eyeing on Kevin Li.

So their strategy is not to double-team Li Kaiwen, but not to let Li Kaiwen shoot in his own sweet spot, but to let the double star switch defenses after he enters the inside, forcing him to pass the ball to his teammates.

The strategies adopted by the Clippers and the Warriors are different, but they all highlight a main theme-don't make Kevin Li comfortable!

As far as the first quarter is concerned, they can accept the Lakers to bloom more, and Li Kevin is dumb.

Because the Clippers know that the outcome of the game is never determined by the role players. In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the comparison is the attacking ability of the arrows on both sides!

When it comes to attacking, Leonard is not sleepy!

And Tyronn Lue is also an experienced coach. In the second quarter, when he took advantage of Hamm to replace Li Kaiwen and Nongmei for a rest, Tian Ji put Paul George, who didn't play much in the first quarter, like a horse race.

The Clippers also seized this opportunity, taking advantage of the absence of the Lakers' double stars, and overtook the score with an 8-2 shock wave!

Paul George alone is enough to penetrate the Lakers' backup defense, and his silky, agile, and entertaining scoring performance has attracted the attention of some Los Angeles fans.

After all, in Los Angeles, he has quite a lot of handsome fans!
After a while of humming and sweating profusely, Paul George glanced at Li Kaiwen who was sitting on the bench with a satisfied expression.

Brat, did you see that?I, the former MVP... the third-ranked superstar, I will teach you how to play basketball!
