Chapter 145: Kill Your Opponent!
In the opening jump ball, Ji Guoqiu easily defeated Duncan.
Duncan's athleticism has been declining since the first two seasons, but since entering the league, Duncan has never relied too much on his body, and more on his brain and technique to overcome his opponents, which are the only two things that are essential for a player to still be dominant after the age of 30. However, of course, the body should not be too bad, at least it should not become a shortcoming to limit yourself, otherwise no matter how good the technique is, it will be useless.
Ji Guoqiu's current template has been quietly changed from Camby to Duncan by many American fans, although the Yankees don't want to admit it, but the two really have many similarities.
If you take out the video of Duncan's first season, you will find that Ji Guoqiu's appearance on the court is not inferior, the two brothers are only 19 years old, and the two of them are two years younger than Duncan's 21 years old when he entered the league.
When Duncan was in college, it was Marcus who was the template for the beginning of the enmity with Ji Guo. Camby is equal, and Duncan does not have an advantage in the duel between the two in college, but is at a disadvantage because of his age. Of course, in terms of potential, everyone can still clearly see Tim. Duncan is better than Marcus. The canbi is higher. After entering the NBA, the potential of the two was unleashed, and the status disparity became more and more wide.
Ji Guoqiu is only 19 years old, and he can get 13+12+4+3 in the first 30 games of the NBA, which is no longer ordinarily good.
Today's Black Parker of the Clippers vs. White Parker of the Spurs, domestic fans think it is very interesting, but these two are not players of the same level. One is a backup point guard, and the other is the most underrated All-Star point guard in the league.
The Clippers settled to the frontcourt, and Ji Guoyi received the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing. Opposite him was Argentine player Fabricio. Oberto, who is at his peak this season, is averaging 4 points and 5 rebounds per game.
What is a fake starter?
The Argentine is the quintessential fake starter.
Fabricio. Oberto was 30 years old when he entered the NBA, and he had a chance to enter the NBA in 1999, but he ran into roughly the same trouble, and the Greek Olympiacos team refused to let him go, demanding that he continue to play in Europe. As a result, Oberto waited for 6 years.
It wasn't until 2005 that poor Oberto bought himself out, and he finally came to the NBA. I have fulfilled my long-held dream.
How many 6 years can a player have?
The poor Argentine center, who was forced to stay with Olympiacos in Greece throughout the peak of his basketball career, is probably nothing worse for a basketball player than to retire from injury.
Ji Guoyi made a triple threat to Oberto. Forced the Argentine center forward a step back. Jump quickly and make a shooting stance......
Oberto has a lot of experience, but he can't tell whether Ji Guosha is a real vote or a fake vote? After a little hesitation, Ji Guozhi had already faked the show and jumped to shoot the basketball in his hand......
"Huh!"
Ji Guoyi didn't look bad today, and he hit the first goal of the opening game steadily!
Scott. Kingsley clapped his palms and turned his head to see Taylor next to him as excited as if he had won the Powerball jackpot. Swift, who was immediately unhappy in his heart, said provocatively: "Don't you think he has grown too tall? ”
Taylor. Swift didn't care about his father's words. replied with a smile: "Your daughter is so tall, naturally you have to find a taller one when looking for a boyfriend." It's so short that I don't dare wear high heels when I go out. ”
Scott. Kingsley snorted when he heard this, and no matter how he looked at Ji Guoshi, it was unpleasant, it felt like looking at his dead father-in-law.
Ji Guoyi agrees with this, he looks at his father-in-law equally unpleasantly, this dead old man always squints at people, it's just hateful!
White Parker received the serve and immediately accelerated to the front court......
** Vicky specially instructed today that the French sports car can try to chase and play one if he has the opportunity, and he doesn't need to care about his teammates, and quickly transport it to the front court to see if there is a chance to sneak attack, and there is no chance to stabilize and wait for his teammates to settle down.
Tony. Parker dribbles extremely fast, and when he first arrived at the Spurs, he often couldn't control his speed, and he was spit in the face by **vic! Now that he has the order of the head coach, he can finally ride his horse without any scruples, and the French sports car is aimed at Ji Guoqiu and Ji Guoyi's ass, and he seems to kill him as soon as he steps on the accelerator.
The Clippers' Black Parker was easily accelerated by the Spurs' White Parker, and Ji Guoqiu could only stop to help delay when he first arrived in the midfield, otherwise the French sports car would drive and it would be very likely to have a sneak attack.
Tony. Parker was stopped by the two brothers, and the Spurs' offense fell into the position.
The Spurs gave the first ball to Duncan to play, and Shi Buddha fell to the low post, and the card owner reached for the ball.
Ji Guoqiu wanted to push Duncan out of a low position, but in terms of strength, he was 20 pounds worse than Duncan, and he didn't have enough spare strength, so he pushed a few times and couldn't move the stone Buddha, who was like a rock, motionless.
Duncan received the basketball, and before he could squeeze under the basket, Ji Guoyi immediately rushed over to wrap up with his brother, and Artest filled Oberto's vacant position.
The Spurs are good at dealing with strong teams, not without reason, the defensive system of the general strong teams is not bad, and they all like to play technical flow; The weak teams are all young teams, they don't have much system and don't like to play with technology, they only like to play with their bodies, which is simple and rough, but they can punch and kill the Spurs.
The Spurs are a group of old guys, with more than ten years of game experience, and can catch the flaws in the opponent's defense in time. Finley saw an opportunity on the outside and immediately cut in empty-handed, received a pass from Duncan and quickly threw a small throw in the box to get the first point for the Spurs before the defenders.
The Clippers went on their second offense and started playing their double-pick pick-and-roll strategy.
The Spurs used a positional defense today, which is not the same as the Clippers' defense, the Clippers tend to play the ball and wrap the whole team around the basketball. The Spurs don't have as much athleticism, they each guard a zone, each does their job, and relies on better chemistry and awareness to defend the Clippers' dazzling pick-and-roll combinations.
In the last game, the Spurs relied on the tacit understanding of the whole team to change the defense and make up for the leaks, so that the Clippers' tactics did not play the corresponding power, especially Duncan's paint area defense, so that the two people who blocked and dismantled on the lower line had no good way. And in that game, their online blocking and dismantling was limited by the poor feeling on the outside, and they didn't play very well.
** Vicky took the same defensive approach today as last time, mainly defending the inside blocking and pick-and-roll, as for the outside group, they can only do their best. Compared to the inside, the outside shooting is limited, and even if the Clippers' blocking and pick-and-roll success comes out, the lethality will be reduced to a minimum.
Ji Guoqiu gave Artest no ball cover in the low post, but unfortunately they were all watched by Duncan and Finley, there was no passing space, and the blocking failed!
Ji Guosha and Black Parker on the outside line blocked and dismantled, and Ji Guosha was also watched by the experienced Oberto.
Black Parker broke through to the restricted area, but Duncan immediately made up for the defense, and the French Parker was just one step later, and the Clippers' Black Parker's throw in the restricted area was deflected under Duncan's interference, and the Clippers failed this offense!
Today, ESPN broadcast the game live, and the three commentators are Jeff. Van Gundy, Reggie. Miller, Erwin. Johnson.
Seeing that the Clippers' offense was not effective against the Spurs, the Magic immediately grinned and gloated: "The point guards of the Clippers have too poor offensive ability with the ball, and they don't have the ability to hold the ball on the outside and penetrate the opponent's defense." I would also like to say that he is not a good finisher with the Lakers, his ability to impact the basket is extremely limited, and his handling of the ball is very unreasonable, especially in high-intensity games, and his two shortcomings will be infinitely magnified by opponents. ”
Reggie. Miller didn't contradict him this time, and said approvingly: "That's true, the more master moves, the easier it is to be attacked against weaknesses!" Vicky only needs to let the Clippers' Black Parker shoot more, and once he misses the shot, the confidence of the Clippers point guard will quickly collapse, and they will face a 4v5 disadvantage. ”
Jeff. Van Gundy frowned and offered his opinion: "If Cassel plays, the French will explode on the offensive end, and the aliens will not be able to make the slightest impact on the young and strong French sports car." The Clippers' two guards, either of them on the court is a disaster, they should trade a reliable point guard before the trade deadline, although the old captain is injured, but the injured Brand is still worth the trade. ”
Reggie. Miller smiled: "I think Blavin's injury is a pity for the Clippers, although he is too short, but combined with his strengths, A-level dribbling and speed, and master passing, I think he can be qualified for the position of the Clippers' main point guard." ”
When Magic Johnson heard this, he said proudly: "Speaking of Blevin. Knight's injury, I never thought Fisher would have shot so hard. ”
Van Gundy and Miller looked at the triumphant magician when they heard this, and secretly said in their hearts that this bastard is really not a good bird, and this kind of schadenfreude is embarrassed to say it, you see him shaking his head and shaking his head with a smug look, and the two of them couldn't help but slander in their hearts at the same time: "Hypocrisy!" ”
The Clippers were fully staffed today, and the defensive end once again showed the mixed defense they had against the Raptors.
The elder Dunleavy had a hunch that it would not be easy for them to penetrate the Spurs' defense today, even at home. But against the Spurs, who just went through an overtime battle yesterday, he is confident that he can do it. Besides, they don't necessarily have to hold on, as long as they can exhaust the opponent's group of old men, they have a good chance of winning this game.
The real killer feature of the Clippers in this game is "attrition", increase the intensity of the game, strengthen the physical confrontation, and see whose body can't withstand it first? (To be continued......)
