After completing the post-match interview.

All the Heat team members returned to the hotel to rest.

They did not leave Los Angeles because they had to fight the Clippers back to back the next day.

Obviously, there is no need to be as cautious as against the Lakers for this game, but after the trade was made by Chris Paul, the strength of the Clippers should not be underestimated.

What kind of demonstration will be expected.

After all, tomorrow's game is the first time the brand new Clippers have made their debut in the new season.

the next day.

The match between the two sides continued to start at the Staples Center.

The difference is that all the elements related to the Lakers in the stadium are gone, and they are all replaced with elements of the Clippers. Only the jerseys of retired Lakers players hanging on the ceiling prove that this is also the Lakers' home stadium.

The attendance rate of this game is obviously not as high as yesterday's game, but it is still much higher than the Clippers' usual home game.

First, because the Clippers made a big deal in the offseason, the superstar Chris Paul, aroused the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game;

Second, it is because the opponent is the Heat.

The Big Three still have a large fan base.

The game begins soon.

The Clippers' new starting lineup is: Jordan Jr., Griffin, Caron Butler, Chauncey Billups, and Chris Paul.

It has a very strong lineup, not only with two All-Star players, but also with Billups, the former Finals MVP.

Although his injury is not as strong as before, it cannot be underestimated.

Small forward Caron Butler also averaged 20 points per game at his peak. Now his career is in the late stages and he can average more than 10 points per game.

The starting lineup of the Heat is Haslem, Bosh, James, Wade and Chanmos.

Haslem and Jordan Jr. jumped.

The latter took the basketball with his more exciting physical fitness.

The Clippers took the lead in attacking.

After halfway through the dribble, Chris Paul played pick-and-roll with Jordan Jr., broke through to the penalty area and threw the basketball high into the sky.

Jordan, who followed up, jumped up high, and after receiving the basketball in the air, dunked into the basket.

Air relay!

The fans at the scene exclaimed bursts of cheers.

The Clippers completed the air relay offense at the beginning, and the offensive momentum of the Clippers is very strong!

And it seems that Paul's arrival completely activates Jordan Jr.

This big center with very perverted physical fitness has no independent offensive ability, so it depends entirely on the offensive end.

This requires the team to have a point guard with excellent passing ability.

In the previous seasons, the team did not have such a person, so Jordan Jr.'s average score per game was very low. I wonder how much potential Paul can stimulate after coming to the team.

The Heat attack.

After halfway through the dribble, Qian Mos passed the basketball to James, who attacked with the ball on the top of the arc.

Compared with yesterday's defensive intensity, James felt like he had no defensive intensity. He easily broke through and completed a layup against Jordan's pounce.

Caron Butler could not limit James' offense at all, after all, the former was not a player known for his defense.

The Clippers fought back.

Paul dribbled through half the game and passed the basketball to Griffin.

Griffin attacked Bosh in the penalty area, turned around and hit a hook.

In the next few rounds of offense, Paul mainly passed the ball and did not attack by himself.

Fans also clearly saw the huge changes that Paul brought to the team by coming to the team.

The Clippers' offense is so smoother than the previous few.

It can be said that Paul completely activated the Clippers' offense.

On the Heat, James also sorted out the team's offense in an orderly manner.

The advantage of making James the big core of holding the ball gradually emerged.

He played until the second half of the first quarter. When the team was gradually falling behind, Paul started his personal attack. The mid-range distance after the precise pick-and-roll was very unsolvable.

It is difficult for the Heat to limit Paul's offense.

The first quarter ends.

28:27.

The Heat are only one point ahead.

Both sides' performance is normal.

Entering the second quarter, both teams are in rotation.

The Heat are led by Wade.

The Clippers are led by Griffin, but Griffin does not have the ability to organize offense at this stage and his passing ability is average.

So he led the team to only use his advantages in the penalty area and continuously attacked and crushed his opponents.

Seeing that Griffin could not be restricted, Spoel urgently replaced Bosh in the dead ball stage, allowing him to fight Griffin, which suppressed his attack.

At the same time, Wade began to show his strength, succeeded in succession of personal attacks, and chased the score back.

The two sides waged a war.

No one can gain an absolute advantage.

This is still the case when the main lineups of both sides come back.

The half-time game ends.

57:55.

The Heat only leads by 2 points.

After a long half break, the second half began.

The Clippers took the lead in attacking.

Paul held the ball at the top of the arc, and with the cover of Jordan Jr., he moved one step and directly jumped into a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a high arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net!

After scoring the goal, Paul also looked ruthless, as if he was about to take the game away.

The Heat attack.

After halfway through the dribble, James took advantage of his opponent's defense and stood firm, and stopped outside the three-point line and made a chase three-pointer.

The basketball drew a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net!

Overtake the score again.

I thought the two sides would continue to fight, but I didn't expect that the two superstars of the Heat, James and Wei, suddenly broke out and scored continuously.

And after Paul made that three-pointer, the Clippers fell into a scoring drought.

Billups shot and made a shot.

Butler also made a shot.

Even Griffin's little hook in the penalty area was inexplicably bounced out of the basket.

The live commentator smiled and joked that the basket had added a cover to the Clippers.

In less than 4 minutes, the Heat scored a 13:3 offensive climax and scored a 12-point lead.

beep.

The referee whistle sounded.

Clippers head coach De Nagro called a timeout, trying to interrupt the Heat's offensive rhythm, and also rearranged the offensive tactics.

Pause back.

Paul dribbled with Griffin to pick-and-roll, broke through to the penalty area and passed the basketball back to Griffin, who was near the free throw line, who received the ball and made a long-distance jump shot.

Swish.
