Chapter 270 Shelby, play with him!
The game continued, and it only took a few minutes for the Lakers fans to question Shelby, understand Shelby, and praise Shelby.

In the remaining minutes of the first quarter, Shelby did play an extremely exciting game.

As soon as Li Kaiwen was flanked like in the opening game, he immediately started cutting, using his height to overwhelm the Clippers' remaining yordles.

Although he was interfered with several attempts to attack the frame, he still relied on his tough actions to get at least one foul from the Clippers.

At the end of the fight, the double-teaming strategy directed by Lu had to declare bankruptcy in advance, and the two sides officially entered the normal offensive and defensive rhythm of man-to-man.

At this time, Shelby can very cleverly appear in various dark corners outside the three-point line. As long as he finds the defender in front of him is a head shorter than him after receiving the ball, he will definitely take a shot decisively.

Although the three-point shooting rate of 6 of 2 shots in the first quarter did not look good, he told the Clippers honestly,
You all must guard against it today, don't all try to stand inside and have a party!

After the first quarter, the Lakers actually led by 33 points, 23 to 9, making the most perfect start to this series.

And Shelby, the "number one war criminal" who the Lakers lost in the last game, actually scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in this quarter, and even had 2 "Jokic-like" high pass support!

More importantly, this big man with the lowest turnover rate among rookies has not made a single turnover so far!
During the break, all the fans who witnessed Shelby's wonderful performance started a heated discussion.

"Hey, what's the situation? Did Shelby change his number today?"

"Is Paul George too good or is Shelby too strong? Several small and big opportunities failed to convert into points!"

"The Lakers didn't have an undercover agent today, and the Clippers are in danger!"

"Coach Hamm is really amazing. He successfully trained Shelby, a big head, in just a few days."

"Hahaha, Director Lu's face turned green. The double team double-teamed Li Kaiwen. The key point was that he didn't hold it down. Li Kaiwen had 5 assists in the first quarter!"

Unlike the smiling Hamm, Coach Lu on the other side of the court frowned and had mixed feelings in his heart.

His set-up looked foolproof before the game.

You, Li Kaiwen, are awesome, right? I will send two people to torture you and humiliate you!

The remaining three players can perform normally and play 3v3 with the remaining Lakers players.

As for Shelby, despite the Clippers' hard work, the rest is left to Shelby!

But today, the "sixth man" of the Clippers completely rebelled and killed his old owner!

The game continued in the second quarter.

In the battle of Tianwangshan, it is impossible for the Clippers to give up the game so easily.

They took advantage of Li Kaiwen and other main players to take a rest, and launched a counterattack under the leadership of point-grabbing master Norman Powell, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

"After the Clippers went through the last round of the tiebreaker, the resilience of the entire team has been greatly improved."

"Hahm is very calm. Even if the point difference is narrowed, he still ensures that the Lakers starters have enough rest time."

"I think this arrangement is fine!"

Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia are now sitting on their chairs contentedly. Even though the lead of their "home team" the Lakers has been completely eaten away, they still feel like they are safe.

As far as the Lakers' starters today, especially the performance of Shelby, as long as they play again, then these young people wearing purple and gold jerseys must have the upper hand!

After the official suspension, Hamm also ended the leisure time of Li Kaiwen and others, and sent the main players on the field.

Seeing that Powell was in excellent condition, Coach Lu continued to put Westbrook on the bench and let him serve as the team's point guard.At the same time, he also replaced Plumlee and replaced him with Morris, preparing for a five-point offensive battle.

Plumlee, the starting center of the U.S. national team who was still "incomparably fragrant" in the first two games, seems to be the incarnation of "Mrs. Niu" today, and is no longer the "British Sweet" who strategizes at a high position.

Even if he created a chance for the small guard to single out Shelby 1-on-1 through the high-position support cover, but today's own guard has no way to train Shelby.

Not even his armor can be broken!

After the offense failed, Director Lu couldn't tolerate his defensive problems.

At his peak, Plumlee was an excellent frame protector and also had certain switching abilities.

But now that he is 35 years old, even though his desire is still strong, his body is no longer allowed to withstand the repeated impact of Li Kaiwen's muscular sticks!
Li Kaiwen's continuous breakthrough in the last few minutes of the first record is the best proof. Now he really can't support the starting center position of a playoff team.

The game continues, the Lakers have the ball.

Seeing that it was Powell defending him, Li Kaiwen didn't even call the pick-and-roll, and directly focused on accelerating the attack.

Even though Powell is similar in size to Westbrook, his strength is weaker.

Even Westbrook can't resist Li Kaiwen's sudden advances, let alone him.

After carrying Powell to the basket, Li Kaiwen made a "no-look pass", bypassing Morris who rushed to defend him, and crossed the basketball wide into the hands of Shelby in the bottom corner.

Little Morris walked quickly and immediately turned around and ran towards Shelby again.

Tyronn Lue on the sidelines nodded. His set of five players is not afraid of you breaking through and scoring the ball, but he is afraid of you forcibly attacking the frame.

After all, rotation speed is the strength of this lineup, and the defense was successful this time.

But the next second, as soon as he smiled, he was beaten black and blue by Shelby!
I saw that Shelby didn't put the ball on the ground after receiving the ball, but directly put on a shooting action.

Morris immediately took off to interfere, and when he flew in front of Shelby, he realized that the young man in front of him didn't take off at all.
That was a shot fake!

Before Morris landed, Shelby immediately jumped up on the spot, stretching his legs forward in a fadeaway jumper position.

"Drip~!"

"No. 8 Marcus Morris, defensive foul!"

Shelby actually forced a foul on him!
Shelby, Shelby, I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would learn to trick and sneak attack!

Morris, who just came on the court, spread his hands and explained to the referee, while the other Clippers players were already standing there, at a loss.

A defense that could have been declared a success, but at the last moment he was tricked into a foul by him, who would be confused!
And Zhang Weiping even performed a gesture dance in the live broadcast room.

"Strike! Shelby, play him!"

"This is what we often say, big wise but late to enlightenment, fans."

"Let me just say, this guy has been following Li Kaiwen for so long, even a dog has followed him to the point of reaching immortality. Why is he still like a lump on an elm tree?"

"It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, my friends!"
