Chapter 146: Cover the Door

Today's defense of the Clippers is the same as the last time against the Raptors, one person from the five, that is, Ji Guoqiu is used to specifically defend Duncan, and he does not leave the stone Buddha to consume his body, and the remaining four form a regional defensive formation and move in the direction of the basketball.

The difference is that their defense will shrink slightly today, which is the right medicine, the breakthrough of the French Parker is a must in the league, but the long-distance projection ability is very unreliable, you can give him a three-point opportunity appropriately, see how he feels and then decide whether to defend it?

White Parker has won two championships and entered the Finals three times, and he has never seen any defense, and soon found that the Clippers' defense is similar to that of the Celtics.

There are many ways to crack the Clippers' joint defense, or hybrid defense to be precise.

If there is a point guard on the team who can shoot, break and pass like Nash, he will become handy, and it will not be difficult to penetrate the Clippers' defense at this time.

However, against Parker's breakthrough, it is sharper, but the Clippers are still very threatening to shoot an average point guard.

Tony. Parker tried his first attempt at a pick-and-roll with Duncan, only to be caught by the Clippers at the free-throw line.

Although Duncan leaked, the panda brother clinged to the stone Buddha and had no chance to pass.

The Clippers were very resolute in their packing, and Parker's passing ability was not bad, but at this moment only one passing line was found, and that was Argentine Oberto, and the rest of the passing routes were blocked, and once the pass was easily truncated.

Oberto received a pass from mid-range on the right flank as the Argentine had been in Europe for almost a decade. The distance shot in one hand was very steady, and he immediately shot after receiving the ball, and scored two points with an easy hit.

"Not good. Their center shoots accurately! "The elder Dunleavy felt bad in his heart, Oberto was a point they deliberately released when they packed Parker, and it was impossible to do it if they had to juggle defending all the passing lanes. There are gains and losses, this is a multiple-choice question, and if you strengthen the defense of whom, you will inevitably leak out the other.

"Let's let Bowen go!"

The elder Dunleavy has not yet made a decision, and Ji Guoqiu has already acted as a coach on the field. If the fox brother is the commander on the field. Then Brother Panda is the coach on the field, and the two have a clear division of labor and perform their own duties!

The Clippers players have a clear goal. No doubts, do it right away.

The next time they defended, they really let go of Bowen, so the latter's bottom corner three-pointer also hit!

Ji Guoqiu's face was ugly. Parker's passing ability is not bad. The ability to protect the ball, finding a passing route in the bag and passing the ball down the line, and the receiver can also convert Parker's pass into a goal, which is too painful!

"Boss, you seem to have been slapped in the face, do you still want to release Bowen now?"

"Damn, that's a leak, Bowen's defensive ability has slipped this season. But the three-point shooting rate is still over 40%, and you can't shoot him lightly. ”

"Listen to what you mean. It's not going to be another substitution, is it? ”

Ji Guoqiu didn't care about being slapped in the face at all, so he really changed his goal again, and said to his teammates when serving: "We don't guard against his passing route, let's fill the position faster." ”

Old Dunleavy saw Brother Panda discussing with his teammates off the field, and he was happy, but he wanted to see how the players improvised on the field and solved problems by themselves?

In each game, the team has a limited number of timeouts, so players often have to find ways to solve some problems on the court, and it is impossible to call a timeout to find a coach when they are on the court, so having an on-court coach like James will solve a big problem, and the biggest benefit is that the probability of the team collapsing is greatly reduced.

In the next game of the Clippers, they did not deliberately put anyone to defend whom, so that there were more points to the ball, but let Tony . Parker hesitates when he passes the ball. Because he thinks that there is a chance to pass it to anyone, but it seems that whoever passes it to is in danger of being stolen.

Truth be told, it is not easy for the French point guard to play a burst game and split the basketball before getting caught in the Clippers' area.

With 5:20 left and 12:10 in the first quarter, the Clippers led by two points before Vicky called a timeout.

The Spurs' offensive success rate is getting lower and lower under the Clippers' joint defense, which sometimes shows flaws to make it easier for the Spurs to score, but sometimes it also prevents the Spurs from making mistakes in passing and breaking the ball to counterattack.

Halfway through the first quarter, Duncan only scored 2 points, and Ji Guoqiu jumped out of the team's joint defense to defend Shi Fo, which made Duncan have fewer opportunities to receive the ball.

Although Ji Guoqiu does not play joint defense with his teammates, as soon as Duncan receives the ball, the Clippers' formation will immediately move to the low post, absorbing Ji Guoqiu, who is free from the defensive system, into a complete body, and working together to encircle Duncan.

The Clippers' hybrid defense is not without holes, and they will also leak people, and they will also travel when switching defenses, so that the Spurs will get open shots, but this style of play does make the Spurs far more uncomfortable and more physically demanding than the last game.

Vicky now has two problems to solve, offense and defense.

The Clippers are like a pocket on the defensive end, moving back and forth to set up their own players, this kind of defensive mobility is very strong, and the defensive formation will go wherever the ball goes, like maggots on the tarsal bones. In addition to finding a way to break the Clippers' defense, how to defend the opponent's offense is not an easy task.

The Clippers' double blocking is also easy to take care of, and the Spurs' old and spicy defensive system, the defensive end can indeed cause some restrictions on the Clippers, but it is also unable to completely block the opponent. After three minutes of the game, the Clippers slowly found their touch, especially Ji Guoyi on the outside, who began to find his form, and the Spurs' defense was immediately a little stretched.

The elder Dunleavy praised the fox brother after a timeout, if the team wants to win today, how much can Ji Guoqiu limit Duncan? This is one of the keys; Another key point is how much damage Ji Guoyi can do to the Spurs?

The Spurs' defensive system has always been the best system to limit outside superstars, but if you ask Spurs fans who are most afraid of? All Spurs fans will say, Kobe, Nowitzki!

In this world, there is no defensive system and offensive system without weaknesses, and no matter how good the system is, it must have its own weaknesses.

The Clippers' defensive system is most fearful of three-point shooters and ankle finishers, two stars who can end the battle with long-range three-pointers and galloping breakaways before the Clippers' defensive system unfolds.

The Spurs are most afraid of high-level shooting, and both Kobe and Nowitzki have one thing in common, and the mid-range shooting rate in this position above the free throw line and inside the three-point line is extremely high. The high-post shot here refers to long-range two-pointers in the 18-foot to 22-foot range, and this is a blind spot in the Spurs' defensive system, or rather a cover door, where they can't practice their kung fu.

Why LeBron. James is particularly prone to kneeling when he encounters Spurs?

It is precisely because the little emperor is not accurate in long-distance shooting, but Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki are just good at shooting in this position. Ji Guoyi is also good at shooting in this area, he has a similar range to Nowitzki, and he is also in the 0-24 foot range without dead angles, which happens to be the nemesis of the Spurs' defensive system.

"Strengthen personal breakthroughs after breakthroughs!"

"Add long-range shots after running off the ball."

This is an adjustment made by the two coaches, ** Vicky and Dunleavy Sr. can see each other's weaknesses in defense, but whether they can target success depends on the skills of their own players.

The timeout was called by Vicky, and after the game restarted, Duncan sent the ball forward and White Parker came out to catch it with the help of a teammate's cover.

After the Spurs timeout, the personnel was adjusted, and Bruce. Bowen came off for Ginobili and Oberto came off for Matt. Bonner, Vicky's intentions are clear, to strengthen his shooting ability from beyond the three-point line and his ability to break through.

Duncan served the ball and landed at the free throw line without ball cover, Parker dribbled through with Duncan's cover and quickly distributed the ball to Ginobili before getting caught in the bag.

Argentina received the ball and immediately threw three points, the Clippers' defense was shifting, leaking out of the three-point line, Ginobili raised the knife and fell, and the three-point shot was angry!

"Be careful to cut off the French bald man's passing lane, and don't let them pass the ball to the outside line, especially the Argentine bald man." Ji Guosha grabbed the rebound and shouted orders to his teammates, he is the team's on-court commander and has the right to say so.

Duncan smiled when he heard this, touched his hair, we are proud of our hair~!

Parker was angry when he heard this, what kind of eyes, Lao Tzu is a shaved head, but it's not hairless~!

When Ginobili heard this, he touched his head with a few hairs, and resolutely refused to admit that he was bald, this dead fox simply opened his eyes and said nonsense, and the small poke in the middle has not fallen off yet, Lao Tzu wants to sue you for slander~!

The Spurs' defense of the fast offense is not good, but the new Cassel is really not fast, which makes the Clippers' fast break also unable to play, and the fast break speed after they grabbed the rebound this time is at best an ordinary offense for the Suns.

In the end, the two teams still fell into the position, and one move and one style came according to the routine, and no one was allowed to play tricks.

The Clippers double-block this time, and the twins are all on the line, that is, the left and right wings, which is another change.

The Clippers carried out two sets of off-ball screens at the same time, and after dismantling, the left wing mid-range, the right wing three-point line, and the two bottom corners all became threats, and the Clippers' offense was also completed very smoothly.

Cassel split the ball in time, and the beast caught the ball and hit the bottom corner three!

The Clippers fans in the "Staples" arena cheered loudly, the team's tactical execution ability does not look inferior to the Spurs, this is the Spurs...... Last season's champions!

In the first quarter, the Clippers' outside play became more and more impressive, but the Spurs' outside play was not good.

Ginobili missed both three-pointers, and even Matt, who is ranked first in the league in three-point shooting percentage, is even the best in the league. Bonner missed an open three-pointer. The Spurs' game was still affected by yesterday's Texas Civil War, and the players' bodies obviously did not recover today, which affected the outside shooting feel. (To be continued......)
