Chapter 108: Eccentric Reeves

When Tang Shuai rushed forward, the CJ dribble bag was also activated to ensure that the ball would not get out of his hands during the fast run.

4 seconds.

One meter away from the three-point line.

3 seconds.

Tang Shuai had already stepped into a big step inside the three-point line, and he stepped out three steps.

2 seconds.

Tang Shuai stretched out his right hand and brought the ball from his waist to his side, and he was only one meter away from the basket.

1 second.

There was no time, Tang Shuai made a light small throw.

The ball crosses a small parabola in the air.

"Huh!"

"Toot!"

The moment the ball was scored, the red light on the sidelines lit up.

Tang Shuai beat the time and hit the whistle layup!

"Good shot!" Cassel jerked himself up from his seat, waved his fist, and shouted loudly.

Tang Shuai was also very excited, but he obviously didn't have the energy to shout excitedly like Kassel at this moment, he ran too fast just now, he almost rushed out of the court, held on to the basketball hoop and stopped, and was panting there at this moment.

"Don, good job!" Paul had already walked from the bench to the court at this time, and stretched out his palm to Tang Shuai as he spoke.

Tang Shuai and Paul high-fived and hit the whistle ball, he was obviously in a very good mood at this time, and he chatted with Paul about the ball just now.

At the end of the second quarter, players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest.

"Look, who's coming, our little prince!" As soon as he entered the locker room, Stephenson, who arrived first, got up from his chair and walked towards him laughing.

"Hey, Lance, don't do that, it's just a goal." Tang Shuai smiled and waved his hand, he didn't want to be too high-profile now.

"Don, you're just too low-key, we're a high-profile city of air connections, aren't we, Blake?" Stephenson looked back at Griffin with a smile.

"We're the empty city, but it's you who are on the high profile, Lance." Griffin shook his head with a wry smile.

"Bang!"

Just then, there was a loud crash of the cabinet.

Austin Reeves slammed the door of the cabinet shut, and then sat down on the stool with a gloomy face, shooting 0 of 3 three-pointers in the first half, only contributing 2 points and 2 turnovers, he was obviously not in a good mood.

Stephenson shrugged, then closed his mouth in amusement.

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit dreary, and the players went to the pitch early after holding back for a while.

Coming back in the second half, the starting lineups of both sides remained unchanged.

It may be that the lead is too much, the Clippers starters are playing a little relaxed, on the other hand, the Nuggets, maybe their coach Mike Malone said something in the halftime, they seem to be full of energy, the difference between the two sides is being eaten away little by little, and by the time they are replaced by the bench, the difference between the two sides is only 14 points.

It was still a similar rotation as in the first half, with Reaves and Smith coming on as substitutions.

To say that Reaves' form today was really bad, coupled with his excessive desire to attack today, he really struggled against Moodier, who has a purple defensive package.

With a "snap", Moodier made another steal of Reeves' breakthrough, and after the steal, a dragon rushed to the front court frantically.

Only Stephenson was the only one who defended.

To say that although Moodier is a rookie, the purple breakthrough bag is really not covered, and he took advantage of his height and arm length to beat Stephenson a time difference, and the ball scored and caused the latter's foul.

Stephenson looked very angry, and smashed his fist to the basket in anger, and when he saw Reeves coming back, he couldn't help but yell, "Hey! Austin, give me the damn ball! ”

Reeves glanced at him, turned his head and didn't speak, completely ignoring him.

"Hey!" Stephenson is a man of temperament, and seeing Reeves ignoring him and not caring about anything, he is going up.

Fortunately, at this time, Redick was on the field and came over and grabbed him.

Seeing this, Doug Reeves frowned, got up and waved to Prigioni, who was sitting on the bench, and motioned for him to play.

Stephenson was angry, when he suddenly heard someone shouting at him on the sidelines, and when he looked back, it was Prigioni who was signaling to him to replace him on the field, and he was even more upset, and he shook off Redick and left the field angrily, and when he passed by Doug Reeves's side, he didn't forget to stare at him.

Doug Reeves calmed down, pretended not to see, sat back in the dugout, and chatted with Cassel again.

"Son of a bitch!" As soon as he sat down, Stephenson cursed.

"Hey, Lance, calm down, it's just pre-season." Tang Shuai saw that Stephenson was a little out of control, and reminded him.

"Damn preseason." Stephenson was obviously not so quick to calm his anger, and was still swearing.

Tang Shuai also looked helpless, and Doug Reeves's eccentricity was too obvious.

The game on the court continued, and with the veteran Prigioni on the court, the Clippers stabilized their position a little.

However, the difference was still narrowing little by little, and by the halfway point of the fourth quarter, the difference was chased to only 5 points.

And the most speechless thing is that during this time, Reeves didn't call a timeout and didn't replace anyone.

Moodier made another steal from Reeves, this time to Will Barton, who rushed to the frontcourt, saw that there was no one to defend, jumped straight up, and showed off a 180-degree turn and slam dunk.

It was only then that Reaves got up from the dugout and called a timeout, and Barton's dunk finally reminded him that the Clippers would not have a good impact on the team if they lost the preseason.

The main players, who had already put on their training uniforms, were replaced again.

The main players played, and the Nuggets' already somewhat exhausted players naturally had no power to parry.

At 103:96, the Clippers won their first preseason victory, Jordan scored 15 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, Paul scored 12 points and 9 assists for a quasi-double-double, Griffin also got 11 points and 6 rebounds, and the Big Three played as stable as ever.

On the bench, Smith had 13 points and 8 rebounds, Tang Shuai played for 5 minutes and 25 seconds, contributing 8 points, 2 assists and 1 steal, and Reaves, who played for nearly 25 minutes, shot 2 of 8, shot 0 of 4 three-pointers, and finally only scored 4 points, 2 assists and 4 turnovers.

After the game, the Clippers players entered the locker room one after another.

Although he won, the mood of the players is obviously not very good, especially the main players of the team, who were ready to rest, and were replaced in the end, but the most unhappy thing is to lose to Stephenson, he has never played since he was replaced, and he shot once in the whole game, and the data of 2 points and 3 assists is obviously not his normal performance.

"Hey, Lance, I'll treat you to Chinese food later." Tang Shuai walked up to Stephenson, patted him on the shoulder and said, the last time he went out to eat, he remembered that Stephenson was full of praise for Chinese food.

After Tang Shuai finished speaking, Stephenson's face really improved, and he pointed at Tang Shuai and said, "Tang, this is what you said, don't regret it!" ”

"Why, eat whatever you want." Usually even if Stephenson takes care of him, he naturally can't mind a meal.
