Back at halftime, the Clippers attacked. Griffin and Paul, the internal and external core, remained on the court, along with three substitute players: Matt Barnes, Grant Hill, and Ronny Turiaf.

On the Trail Blazers' side, the five-man group on the court is led by Aldridge, Lillard, and Batum.

Needless to say, Lillard is the league's number one model worker this season, averaging 39 minutes of playing time per game. Batum averages 38 minutes of playing time per game, ranking at the forefront of the league.

Even Aldridge, who played the least minutes, only had 37 minutes.

And this... is the benefit of being young!

Paul advanced to the frontcourt and waited for his teammates to get into position.

Griffin moved to the short corner on the left and Aldridge was pulled out.

Griffin, who averaged 22.5 points per game in his debut, is by no means a "dunk machine" as some people think, "nothing but dunks" and so on.

On the contrary, Griffin can be said to be one of the few power forwards with comprehensive skills after Tim Duncan. Although he is a little immature now, in terms of the basket skills of the new generation of inside players, Griffin is the best.

Of course, except for Wang Zelin.

Today's White Devil doesn't like shooting from the outside and initiating advances with the ball as much as he did later in his career. In addition to powerful dunks, Griffin's free throw shooting percentage and jump shots have steadily improved year by year, which makes opponents dare not leave him wantonly.

At the same time, Matt Barnes took Batum away from the low corner, Grant Hill came to the free throw line, Paul passed the ball to Grant Hill, who held the ball and immediately set up a triple threat.

Will Barton leaned forward with a puzzled look on his face. At this time, substitute center Jared Jeffries was taken away by Ronny Turiaf, leaving the basket empty.

Could it be that the former successor to Jordan wanted to fight against himself... Will Patton was a little confused.

Will Barton, who is quite motivated, went to check out the Clippers' bench before the game, and naturally the famous Grant Hill was not spared.

He averaged 3.21 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. It was the end of his career and he was not far away from retirement.

Will Barton started to exert force and wanted to push Grant Hill out, but Grant Hill suddenly threw the ball into the air...

"Bang!"

The red figure of No. 23 hangs on the Trail Blazers basket.

White Monster completed the alley-oop!

"It can be seen that when Wang is not on the court, the Trail Blazers' interior deterrence and defensive intensity have obviously dropped to a higher level."

Kenny Smith said.

"However, the Trail Blazers are currently the leading team, let's see what they do next."

Buckley said.

As soon as Lillard passed halftime, Paul followed her inseparably.

"Want to scare me?"

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere coming from Paul, Lillard remained unmoved.

While observing the defensive form on the field, dribble the ball to a fixed position.

Batum, who was facing off against Grant Hill, suddenly waved for the ball. After Lillard passed it, Batum motioned for everyone to pull away.

“Does Nicolas Batum think so little of Grant Hill?”

Well, with Hill's status this year, not to mention Batum looking down on him, even Clippers fans have a hard time taking him seriously.

If it weren't for the fact that Hill averaged 10 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game last season, the Kuaishou management would not have signed a two-year contract with Hill with an average annual salary of approximately 1.9 million yuan.

The results of it!

Due to injuries and age issues, Hill did not play in a game at the beginning of the season. He has only officially returned in recent games, and his data has declined across the board.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this transaction is likely to be a loss.

Facing the old and frail Grant Hill, Batum chose a more confident breakthrough, passing the former in one step and hitting the basket with a split dunk.

Looking at Grant Hill who staggered several times before regaining his balance, many elderly fans couldn't help but feel a little sad, but there was nothing they could do.

In sports competitions, food is the original sin, and everything else is just an excuse.

“Are the Clippers stupid?”

"A veteran who is almost 40 years old is actually allowed to defend Batum alone!"

"I hope they can continue this strategy."

Sure enough, more fans focused on Batum who scored the goal.

As for Hill...

After a few awkward forced smiles, he regained his mood, raised his head and continued walking toward his home half.

Maybe, I shouldn't come here.

Wouldn't it be nice to stay in Phoenix?

Hill began to miss his days with the Suns.

…

After playing for nearly 4 minutes, the Trail Blazers led the Clippers by 4 points 65:61, and the point difference was only narrowed by one point.

Batum scored 7 points and 2 rebounds. He was the main contributor to maintaining the point difference.

The hill opposite has been reduced to a cash machine.

After playing for almost half a quarter, the team not only failed to take the lead, but could not even narrow the point difference. This was something Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro never expected.

The original intention of visiting Hill was to observe Hill's competitive status and physical recovery, and to increase his outside firepower.

In the end, his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness... This made Vinny Del Negro feel very depressed.

Just as he was about to call a timeout for the next change of ball possession, Lillard held the ball just past halftime, and Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts took the lead in calling a short timeout.

At a glance, the Blazers' No. 36 has taken off his thermal clothing and is doing stretching exercises.

"DeAndre, get ready!"

Although Jordan was completely unilaterally beaten by Wang Zelin in this game, who makes him the Clippers' defensive backbone?

At this time, if he doesn't go up, who will?

"I see."

Little Jordan, who was a little autistic after being beaten, had a droopy face and reluctantly took off his thermal clothing.

After the timeout, Aldridge served a sideline ball.

Originally, Coach Terry wanted Wang Zelin to send it, but the latter refused on the spot.

The attitude shown is decisive!

As for the rhetoric, Wang Zhilin used "I want to take office as soon as possible" to prevaricate.

Facts proved that Wang Zelin did not disappoint Coach Terry, scoring 6 points in a row.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jordan, who was guarding him, received three fouls early in the first half. He did not dare to make any excessive moves for fear of being fouled again... It was so frustrating!

Wang Zelin felt happy and panicked after seeing it.

However, Paul's organizational skills are really great, which is enough to surpass Lillard by several blocks.

Coupled with Chauncey Billups, who was also the master of playmaking and was appointed to play the 2 position, the Clippers were playing well for a while, going on a 12:10 run to chase the score to 75:73.

, and the score was about to be evened.

Seeing this, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro couldn't help but beat his head.

If he had known this, he should have played a double point guard style and should not have been thinking about how to limit the Blazers' offense before the game.

That thing can't be suppressed at all!

It's better to play against each other early.

But... after looking at the scoreboard, Vinny Del Negro felt that it wasn't too late.

At this time, there were two minutes left in the third quarter. Lillard saw that Wang Zelin would not pass the ball even after being double-teamed in the paint, so he knew that the latter must be high.

25 points and 12 rebounds!

If you get this data in the third quarter, no matter who you put it on, you won’t get high.

"Bang!"

Wang Zelin took action again and hit three irons in succession. Although he won a free throw this time,...

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

A rare missed two free throws.

"The king is indeed tired, now it's my turn."

Lillard has made a decision in his mind.

Paul dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball to Griffin on the left.

For a moment, the entire audience's focus was on this white monster.
