Ismael Smith is thin and thin, and the power pack is all green, so after Tang Shuai fell to the frontcourt, it was natural to want to play one.

But as soon as he put on his stance, Gordon caught him, which forced him to change his mind.

It seems that until the problem of the passing bag is solved, the trick of back play will not be used for the time being.

He handed the ball back to Stephenson and ran around.

When he came out, Smith was still following closely, and he was followed by a Maddie dry.

I thought that this could be gotten rid of, but I didn't expect Smith to interfere with him with his speed, so that his shot finally jumped out of the basket.

The Pelicans took advantage of the momentum to play a fast break, and Smith defended the ball and passed the ball to Anderson, who raised his hand to make a three-pointer and chased the deficit to only 3 points.

Cassel frowned on the sidelines and reached out to replace Jordan Jr. with Griffin.

Two consecutive offensive attempts did not score, and he was beaten on the defensive counterattack, Tang Shuai completely put away his contempt, similar to him, Smith seems to be a person who relies on ball quotient to play, such a person has been abandoned so much, it is really a little difficult to see.

Pushing back to the frontcourt, this time he didn't choose to go it alone, but beckoned Griffin to do a pick-and-roll, and then accelerated to break through to attract the bag defense, and then passed back to Griffin with a hit to Griffin, who hit a solid shot to give the Clippers a continued score.

Tang Shuai also gave Griffin a high-five, and then looked at Smith with a hint of provocation.

Smith smiled, didn't say anything, and then ran back to the baseline and dribbled.

Tang Shuai frowned slightly. Smith didn't seem immune to his provocation.

The Pelicans' offense, Smith is another second pass. However, this time Cunningham, who received the ball, was a little less capable, and the layup was ultimately missed by Griffin's interference. After Tang Shuai held the ball, he launched a wave of fast attacks.

At this time, only Smith retreated on the Pelicans' side, and in the 2-on-1 round, Tang Shuai gave Stephenson on the right side, and Stephenson took the ball and stepped on it in three steps to dunk.

Generally, when 2 to 1, when a player is ready to dunk, most of them will be let go, after all, one may be beaten 2+1, and the other is to dunk, so there is no need to become a possible background wall.

But Smith actually greeted him directly. And his speed played a certain role at this time, and he stood directly outside the reasonable collision zone with his hands protecting his crotch.

"Bang!"

Stephenson couldn't dodge the ball and had a head-on collision with Smith.

Although Stephenson was not strong, but in the face of the emaciated Smith, the power bag was still crushed, and this collision directly knocked Smith out, drawing a long distance along the floor, and then had a zero-distance contact with the audience on the sidelines.

Naturally, Stephenson couldn't dunk again. It took a few steps to slow down the forward trend.

The referee's whistle blew immediately.

The referee stretched out his hand and punched his left palm, pointing directly at the Clippers' backcourt.

Offensive foul!

The moment the referee gestured out, Stephenson's whole body jumped violently. Smith was still being helped by someone over there, and after seeing it, he also flew up from the floor with a "poof", and he didn't care about rubbing the place where he was hit. He was very excited.

Stephenson's emotions became more and more excited, and Tang Shuai saw that the momentum was not right. Hurriedly went up and grabbed him.

It took a while to calm Stephenson's emotions to stabilize, but fortunately he didn't make any insulting gestures to the referee. This saved him from being whistled for a technical foul.

After being pacified, Tang Shuai looked back at Smith, Smith looked excited, but he didn't make any provocative moves.

He couldn't help but think a little more in his heart.

After Redick was traded, although he is still playing on the bench, I believe that as he continues to pack, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a starter, and when he becomes a starter, the Clippers will have one less point guard in the bench group.

Although Stephenson can control the ball, he is not a playmaker after all, Booker is a scorer, and Prigioni is also older, these two people are at most the third point guard, on the other hand, Smith is a typical team player, can pass suddenly, suitable for Stephenson and Booker, not to mention, just this defense, thin but not afraid of confrontation, definitely a good player.

When he retreated, he unconsciously glanced back at Cassel, but what he didn't expect was that Cassel's eyes also fell on Smith.

Could it be that Kassel also has this idea?

He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

On the Pelicans' offense, Smith and Davis made a pick-and-roll, and a pass in the seam was returned to Davis, who held it high and was about to make a layup.

After changing the defense, it was Tang Shuai who defended Davis, and in the face of Davis's height and long arms, Tang Shuai was not stupid enough to interfere head-on, but quickly retreated outside the reasonable collision area, protecting his crotch and waiting for Davis to collide.

Davis still has some less embankment for a small man like Tang Shuai, just like Stephenson hit Smith just now, and he directly knocked Tang Shuai out of the air.

The referee's whistle blew just in time, and Davis made an offensive foul without hesitation.

However, Tang Shuai obviously doesn't have the passion of Smith just now, Davis is not Stephenson after all, the strength of the two people is not the same level, even if he has a purple power pack, he was directly knocked away, and what's worse is that Davis's big body can't be controlled, and it directly presses on him.

With a body of more than three hundred pounds, he instantly felt a pain in his chest, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant.

Fortunately, Davis reacted quickly, and the moment he pressed down, he noticed that Tang Shuai was below, and jumped up from the ground in an instant.

Tang Shuai almost didn't catch his breath, someone immediately pulled him up from the ground, and then kept patting his back to relieve him.

After a while, he finally eased up, and he gasped for a while before he was fine.

"Don, are you alright?" When he recovered, he heard Stephenson's concerned voice.

"Are you alright?" It was Davis's concerned voice.

Cassel stretched out his hand at this time and called a timeout, apparently preparing to give Tang Shuai a buffer time.

Tang Shuai was about to go to the bench, only then did he notice that the person who was helping him just now was still holding him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Ismail Smith.

Smith didn't say anything at this time, but walked with Stephenson to the Clippers' bench.

When he arrived at the bench, the team doctor asked a few words and made sure that Tang Shuai was fine, so he retreated.

"Don, don't fight like this next time, that kind of ball will let him score." Paul came over at this time and said with concern. (To be continued.) )
