Chapter 573: Six Heads-Up Masters
There was a dead ball on the pitch and the main players of both teams were substituted.
Ji Guoyi smiled in his heart: "You're right, it's Sterling's money anyway, so we won't feel sorry for him, as long as the strength of the team is not affected." ”
The two waited on the sidelines for the minute they were on the court, and the Clippers' defensive end was much better. Although Anthony is a little more expensive, his role on the defensive end is still obvious, he and Jordan Jr. have a good effect, and Barria's breakthrough has been suppressed a lot.
In the second quarter, the Clippers switched to three interior players, and the two brothers did not defend Nowitzki, and the task was given to Joel. Anthony, the blue-collar is used for this job. However, considering Nowitzki's singles ability, the two brothers can't stand aside and watch the play, as long as they have the opportunity, the two of them must go up to the trap, which is the best defensive plan in the eyes of old Dunleavy.
The NBA now has six heads-up masters, the first two are naturally Kobe and Wade, the third is Nowitzki, the fourth is Ji Guoyi, and the fifth is Cameron. Anthony, James can only be ranked sixth, for reasons later.
This ranking is not a blind ranking, but a ranking based on the league's one-on-one scores last season, and these six people scored the most points and were the most efficient in one-on-one singles, so they naturally got this name.
What the six of them have in common: solid basic skills, good ball skills, proficient in almost all scoring methods, heads-up is usually 45 degrees left and right, back to the ball face frame, and then triple threat probing steps, using the most threatening first step to make a fuss (Kobe Bryant and Wade have extremely fast first steps, Nowitzki and Ji Guosha have great first steps, and James and Anthony have the most violent first steps.) )。 They are arguably the six best turnarounds and stops in the league. A variety of attack vectors are available. Minutes to kill defenders.
General. Nowitzki likes to use his probing steps to impact the opponent's center of gravity first, and then step back and shoot straight jumpers, which is simple and effective.
Brother Panda also often uses this trick, but Ji Guozhi is different, he likes to face the defender after shaking and then come to a step-back jumper, or cross step breakthrough and then turn around and directly shake off the defender to pick up the basket, last season he also likes to change his back to sit and play, feint to shake the mid-range turnover jumper. However, this season has made it less, but it will also be used occasionally against skinny defenders.
Nowitzki can be ranked in this position, which is really surprising, after all, there are so many singles masters in the league, why can this German soft egg be in the top three, and still fucking in front of the fox brother and melon?
This is because the German's height advantage allows him to calmly shoot mid-range jumpers, and Nowitzki's mid-range shooting touch is also the best of the six, so he can often pull up jumpers directly after a tentative step. If the opponent is tempted to shake off the center of gravity, Nowitzki's huge first move can directly break through the main defender.
Don't underestimate Nowitzki's fundamentals. Although his breakthrough is not good-looking, his ability to dribble and protect the ball is very solid. It's not the soft egg that fans jokingly call it!
How solid are Nowitzki's fundamentals? For example, when there are no flaws in the opponent's defense, Nowitzki can switch his back, and because of his almost perverted shooting, the opponent can easily jump up and block when he does a turn-and-shoot feint, so he is often clicked out. And after clicking on the defender, Nowitzki can not mess up the rhythm, even if the body is twisted, the feel of thousands of tempers can maintain the stability of the practice at the moment of shooting.
Joel. Anthony suffered the loss of these tricks, Nowitzki relied on his height, often directly shot and pretended to shoot, as long as Anthony did not come forward to block, Nowitzki immediately pretended to do it, shot directly, and shot before the two brothers helped to defend.
After Nowitzki hit two goals in a row, Anthony could only step forward to block, and then Nowitzki would immediately break through, kick Anthony's position, and break through to the inside line to create damage.
The Clippers don't have a good way to deal with Nowitzki's bastard for the time being, when the two brothers' help defense arrived, Nowitzki had either shot or had already broken through, and the elder Dunleavy thought about it and still had to change the two brothers to defend.
Joel. Anthony is not bad, but he is more suitable for dealing with inside players like Yao Ming and O'Neal, but he is just restrained in the face of Nowitzki. However, no matter how well Nowitzki played, the Mavericks did not close the score, and Ji Guoyi was also full of firepower after he came on the court, and the Mavericks were also unable to prevent this dead fox.
Ji Guoyi's advantage is that he is the second best player in the ball among the six. The dribbling ability is also second only to Kobe Bryant and Wade. Relative to his status as a No. 4, this guy has the most potential, because his mid-range and long-range range is second only to Nowitzki's. In terms of speed and explosiveness, he is only inferior to Wade and James. Finally, add the best height and arm span among the six, do you still need to think about it? This guy's comprehensive ability can be called against the sky, and in a few years, he will sit firmly on the throne of the first person in singles, and there is no suspense in mind.
Dead Fox can use a series of difficult changes of direction to shake off the defender when playing singles from a long distance, and there are more and more singles, and the flexibility and explosiveness of the body can also ensure that he has done the ultimate in defenders, and even when he is almost leakless and seamless, he can still rely on his snake waist and height to make a gap to complete the shot, and the most hateful thing is that his hit rate is not bottom.
As I said earlier, James can only accompany the last seat in these six, this is not a black him, the singles skills of the first five can be said to be based on their skillful jump shots, if you don't seal it, he will enter, you one, it turned out to be a feint, and it was passed immediately. Therefore, it is really important to have a basket that makes others tremble, and James is undoubtedly the weakest of the six in this regard, if it were not for the strongest impact ability in the league, James would not be able to rank in this position at all.
The second quarter is the time for the two superstars to compete for offense, Nowitzki is powerful and difficult to wrap, but Ji Guoqiu is also the best defensive player, he can fight with Nowitzki's height, arm span, strength and awareness, and use his top defensive ability to minimize Nowitzki's top offensive power.
On the other hand, no one on the Mavericks' interior can defend against Ji Guosha, and Carlisle can only use Marion to dislocate the defense.
The 07-08 season, which was two seasons ago. The rookie fox faces Marion, who is at his peak. It was indeed beaten all over the head. But now. The status of the two is no longer what it used to be, Marion's defensive ability is not enough to suppress Ji Guosha, and the little fox directly pulls up a strong shot after spying on the step, using Nowitzki's stunt, and the effect is very good.
Marion is only 203cm, and although his arm span is long, he is not as long as his fox brother, and the difference between the two is at least 20cm. So when Ji Guosha jumped to the highest point. Marion can only touch the little fox's nose, and it is difficult to even seal his eyes, and Ji Guosha also has an absolute advantage in bullet speed, and the attacking side is always one beat faster than the defender.
Ji Guozhi scored 15 points in the second quarter, plus Billups also bullied Kidd from time to time on the offensive end, the Mavericks were defeated by the Clippers on and off the road, and his mid-laner was stubbornly resisted by the Pandas, it was strange that the base could still be kept, and there was basically no suspense after half of the game.
Half-time. With a score of 75:60, the Clippers still beat the Mavericks by two points in the second quarter. Their main lineup is really incomprehensible, and the old Hill, who seems to be the only weakness, is obviously 37 years old, but he can still attack and defend, and Carlisle really has nothing to do.
Ji Guoqiu 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoyi 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups 13 points and 5 assists, Hill 8 points and 2 assists, Crawford 13 points, Afralo 6 points.
Nowitzki 18 points and 4 rebounds, Kidd 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Marion 9 points, Terry 12 points, Gortat 6 points and 2 rebounds, Drew Brown. Gooden had six points and Barria had four points and two assists.
In the second half, the Mavericks still did not give up hope of overtaking the score, and the 15-point deficit was not at the end of the mountain. But when the third quarter ended, they lost by one more point, and after the difference came to 16 points, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the game was over.
The "Clippers Rule" has been activated, even if it is replaced by the Spurs and Lakers at this time, the chances of reversing the game are not great, the Clippers are already the champion team of two consecutive championships, and the team with the best combat power in the league, how can it be so easy to overturn.
Dunleavy Sr. made a rotation change late in the third quarter, replacing the two brothers early, allowing the two to be on the court directly after the start of the fourth quarter, which was no pressure for the two men who were even better than last season. Not to mention, they didn't play a long game, with a full five minutes of rest in the first and second quarters, which was enough for them. In fact, don't say that they have a five-minute break in the first half, even if they only have a five-minute rest in the whole game, it is not a big problem for them, which is the standard attribute of superstars in their prime.
Ji Guoqiu suddenly exerted his strength in the last quarter, the giant panda was powerful on the inside, and after two hooks, there was a three-point arc top, which widened the difference to 22 points in a blink of an eye, completely ending the Mavericks and grabbing the best in the game.
With a final score of 130-104, the Mavericks lost by 26 points at the Clippers' home court, reaping a fiasco they hadn't expected before the game.
Although Cuban likes to shoot guns, but that is a different occasion, today the Clippers won brightly, there was no problem with the referee's whistle, and the two brothers used their overwhelming firepower to defeat the Mavericks, such a defeat is really nothing to say, the skills are not as good as people.
"I am more calm about the results now than I used to be, because I am used to what I see on the field."
Cuban looked very calm after the game, even if he said that he wanted to snipe the Clippers for three consecutive championships, but there was no bottom in his heart, of course this guy knew it.
In the 2006 Finals, Cuban lost four games in a row when the Mavericks led 2-0, but now, as Nowitzki said after the game, no matter what, people will never see such a Cuban again.
'I remember when he first bought the team, he would always be with us, training and playing together. Now I think he's more family-oriented, he doesn't travel with us like he used to when he was away and I don't see him at all in training. Nowitzki said.
According to Forbes magazine, the Mavericks lost $14.5 million last year, largely because they had $115 million to spend on player wages and bonuses. The magazine counts the Mavericks' operating income year by year, with a total loss of $137 million since 2000, and that's not counting the 2009 stats.
The Mavericks were the only team to make a big splash in the summer, and Cuban doesn't care about the economic crisis, and he is neither sure nor denying the number: "Of course I care, but like I said, I'm lucky that we're going to have to make adjustments based on the current state of the economy." But I've made enough money, and all I'm missing is a championship. ”
Ji Guoyi's impression of Cuban is actually good, although he didn't win the best in the game after the game, he still complimented Cuban twice: "That guy is more like a person in my eyes than those guys in straight suits, Mavericks have such a boss, sooner or later they will win the championship, I don't doubt this at all."
