Chapter 522: 131 Joint Defense
Charles. Before the start of the fourth quarter, Barkley said: "Almi. Johnson's third quarter was good, he was a young player who was growing up and was only 22 years old this season, so he still has a lot of potential to dig into. ”
"Yes, he's got a height advantage, he's good jumping, he's got a three-point shot in the corners of the wings, he's got a good layup, and if he's serious, he's a good defensive player."
Kenny. The words "defensive player" in Smith's mouth did not fall, and Jamison turned and shot a jumper in the low post...... Naturally, it's a feint, but Amir. Johnson's men have already flown up......
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle sounded like a slap in the face of the former star point guard.
Old Dunleavy secretly scolded shit in his heart, although Ji Guozhi is sometimes shaken away, but he will never let his opponent beat two plus one.
"Since this ball is fouled, then it has to be a little more ruthless, I don't usually teach him that."
Ji Guoyi complained about Amir in the locker room. Johnson is brainless, he doesn't make such a mistake, Jamison has scored 25 points now, and I'm afraid he will have to score 30 points if he goes on like this.
"Well done, Antoine!"
Duncan went up and touched Jamison's head again, but there was no hair on his head, and he was immune to the Stone Buddha's hair buff damage.
In the fourth quarter, the Clippers did not replace the main core, Billups and Crawford plus Ji Guoqiu, the three of them played the third quarter, did not rest in the fourth quarter, and continued to stay on the court.
The Spurs didn't dare to play like that, except for Parker and Jamison who were still on the court, Duncan was already out of the game.
The score is 68:72. Jamison accidentally missed another penalty on the penalty. Ji Guoqiu protected the rebound. It was his 19th rebound.
"It's all mine!" The panda muttered silently and grabbed the basketball and handed it to Billups.
Parker then made a mistake that would have only been made five years ago, and the Frenchman, noticing that Billups seemed to be unfocused, immediately pounced on the ball and tried to break the ball.
Billups smiled in his heart, he thought that Parker, who was almost 30 years old, would not be so impulsive, but he didn't expect that the mistakes that Westbrook, a stunned young man, would make, and the French would also make.
"Ahh
Billups let out an exaggerated yell, and put his hand up. Tricked Parker into a foul.
Popovich began to chew gum without making a sound, but was clearly upset.
This is Parker, replaced by Westbrook, I don't know what I will be sprayed by Popovich when I was young?
The Clippers sent the ball to the frontcourt, and Billups didn't want to block after receiving the ball, but dribbled directly through Parker, used his strong body to push the inside line, and hit a layup.
Ji's shot was inside for Billups to keep out Oberto, who just needed to break through Parker. In front of him is a horse and a flat river.
Popovich felt something wasn't right, he had noticed it before. Seems a little weird about the Clippers' defensive positioning?
Parker and Jamison played blocking and dismantling, broke into the interior and threw a layup, but under Ji Guoqiu's supplementary defense, the basketball did not improve.
The Clippers immediately counterattacked, Ji Guoqiu and Billups blocked and dismantled, and Mr. Key scored an inside pull-up jumper to score two more points.
The Spurs immediately called a timeout, and in the fourth quarter, the Clippers' main offense changed to Billups, and they both underestimated the former Finals MVP.
Although this guy's score has been decreasing year by year, his scoring ability at critical moments has become more threatening.
"He's not tall enough, but he's got great speed and strength, and as long as he shows signs of a breakthrough, he'll be on the inside immediately."
Popovich is not afraid of Billups' breakthrough right now, and the Clippers have only one of the two animals left, and they have the strength to contain the breakthrough of the Clippers' outside players.
However, after the timeout, Popovich felt that he had been tricked, Billups did not return to the court, and the Clippers point guard was replaced by Dragic.
The elder Dunleavy secretly snickered, saying that his rotation was terrible, and that was just because the Clippers were strong and didn't need to use any intrigues at all, and they could kill their opponents with upright schemes.
Yang Mou is the real unstoppable scheme, he holds the animal brothers in his hand, and then he plays any conspiracy and tricks, and what kind of formation changes are purely stupid.
However, Ji Guoyi is not here now, and the Clippers will have to make some changes if they want to win.
In the fourth quarter, the old Dunleavy let Ji Guoqiu control the restricted area steadily, and there was no need to frequently fill in for his teammates, and others did their own work, watched their defenders, and replaced them if they didn't do well.
After the Clippers called a timeout, they sent a strange lineup: Dragic, Afralo, Garcia, Barnes, Ji Guoqiu.
Spurs lineup: Tony. Parker, Roger. Mason, Amy. Yuduka, Drew. Gooden, Fabricio. Alberto.
Dunleavy Sr. used Barnes to defend Gooden, which was difficult to be considered a swingman for this excellent defensive peak.
The Clippers naturally did not use Barnes to defend Guden alone, and the Clippers made a rare use of the 131 position to strengthen the defense around the free throw area and on both sides, with the aim of cutting the connection between the Spurs' offensive players inside, outside, left and right, making it difficult for offensive players to pass and receive the ball.
In this defensive formation, Ji Guoqiu only needs to take care of the defense on the inside, and Afflalo, Garcia, and Barnes, the three players with excellent defense, are jointly responsible for the free throw line and the defense on both sides.
As soon as the Spurs ball carrier arrives at this position, whether it is inside or outside, the three people in the middle must immediately wrap up.
The rest of Dragic needs to see the opponent's position and move, and if there is a chance, he can also participate in the bag.
This kind of defense is very demanding for the three defenders in the middle, and the three must be highly mobile, and the Clippers have exactly that ability.
After the Clippers changed formations, Parker twice dribbled into the interior and couldn't find offensive and ball distribution targets in the heavy encirclement, the Clippers' mid-range defense was really impregnable at the moment, and the Spurs missed two consecutive offenses, and the score was immediately caught up by the Clippers.
"Shift, transfer the ball!"
Popovich roared angrily off the court, no matter what the defense, he would lose sight of one or the other in the face of quick transfers. As long as the basketball is running well. The joint defense will definitely show gaps.
"Move a little faster. Lock them down completely! ”
Dunleavy Sr. also shouted from the sidelines that as long as the joint defense turned faster than the basketball, they could block the Spurs' offense.
Both sides have their own plans, which is the same as the story of "spear and shield", the Spurs basketball runs fast and smoothly, and it can break the Clippers' joint defense; In turn, the Clippers' combined defense moves fast enough to cover the Spurs' offense. It's about who is faster and who has the ability to execute better.
The Spurs died because basketball didn't run smoothly, and after Duncan went down, Gooden, a pianist who had just signed in March, in addition to liking to slip on the court, was also very unfamiliar with the Spurs' tactical system. So once the basketball gets to him, it's definitely going to slow down, because Gooden needs to think carefully about who to pass the basketball to.
There were even times when Gooden's movement was problematic. It's hard for him to be a part of the Spurs' sophisticated system, with Barnes or Garcia often standing in front of him. There was no chance for Gooden to connect the ball, and the Spurs' transfer here was naturally broken, and in the end they could only be trapped in the local range for a small range of cooperation, and finally missed the shot in 1v2.
At 9 minutes and 40 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score was 74:74, and the two teams were tied.
Popovich replaced Gooden, who had only played two minutes, with Matt. Bonner, who at least won't even be able to fit into the Spurs' system.
The Clippers have no personnel adjustments, Ji Guoqiu will be more tired in the second half, but he can work harder, the Clippers' 131 defensive formation, the requirements for the center are not absent, only the center under the basket has enough awareness to determine the effectiveness of the pinch break.
In this lineup, there is only one center under the basket, and if you make a mistake in judgment and rush to grab it, the basket will be empty.
After the game restarted, Ji Guoqiu put aside Oberto and decisively killed Matt, who helped Garcia to get the ball. Bonner, causing the latter to make a passing error.
The Clippers broke the ball and counterattacked, Dragic scored the ball with a layup, and the Clippers took the lead.
"It's amazing, what I see in him is decisiveness and confidence, it's hard to imagine he's just a second-year rookie under 21 years old."
Barkley saw Ji Guoqiu decisively stepped forward to wrap up, and couldn't help but applaud.
This kind of choice generally only appears in experienced old guys, at least those who have played in the NBA for five or six years, so that they can have the experience and confidence to make such a judgment.
But a rookie who is less than 21 years old can actually do it in a game like the Western Conference Finals, and he is indeed a phenomenal genius.
"This kind of genius, in the nearly 100-year history of the NBA, has only produced two or three."
Kenny. Smith felt that the last rookie who was so bewitching should be a magician.
Even James wasn't so wicked in his first year.
Jordan did it, but he had been playing in college for four years at the time, and he had too much experience to compare to the two brothers.
At 8:20 in the fourth quarter, Popovich replaced Duncan early and replaced Jamison.
Ji Guoqiu just attacked Oberto to play a two-plus-one, this year's Argentine center level has declined greatly, and he can no longer play the starting center position, and he can't even play as a substitute, and he is no longer reused in Spurs.
The Clippers continued to play 131 defense, and the Spurs finally returned to their previous level after Duncan came on.
Matt. Although Bonner is a single defense and can only shoot three points on the offensive end, he can play the ball on the Spurs, and his IQ is definitely not low.
He is the highest GPA in the NBA of 3.96/4.0, and he has almost completed economics with a perfect score.
Popovich just took a fancy to his IQ, Matt. When Bonner and Duncan work together on the offensive end, the Spurs operate extremely smoothly on the offensive end, and that's the skill he relies on to survive - over 40 percent three-point shooting and excellent ball transfer.
That idiot who was hurt in the eye by the bug, if he could get Bonner's basketball awareness, another superstar could be born.
Bonner has played well off the bench this season, hitting a three-pointer from the outside line soon after coming on the court, this guy has a three-point shooting rate of 46% this season, which is really only a little bit worse than 50%, and decided not to let him shoot in the open space.
Dunleavy Sr. quickly replaced Jeffries with Afflalo, intending to use the King of Fake Falls against Matt, who could only shoot threes. Bonner, these two are a good match.
What, you say Bonner not only shoots three-pointers, but also slam dunk contest champions in high school and college?
So let him perform a big windmill to see? (To be continued......) R1292
