Ji Guosha's elbow in Los Angeles has let everyone see, what does it mean to strike first to be strong, and then to suffer!

Carlos. After Boozer came off the field, he was replaced by Mir. Sapp is only a sophomore, and although he reached the Western Conference Finals with the team last season, he still can't replace Boozer's role on the court, at least when it comes to rebounding.

Ji Guoqiu grabbed two frontcourt rebounds in the next three minutes. Sapp's rebounding isn't bad, but his height determines that once he encounters a tall and long-arm interior like his twin brothers or Duncan and Garnett, he is destined to be unfavorable.

With 8 minutes and 20 seconds in the first quarter and a score of 7:2, the Clippers' strategy on the defensive end was to stick to the mid-range and break through. If Korver doesn't play, they just need to play against Delon. Williams makes a proper look at the defense, and he only needs to be interesting to the other outside players of the Jazz, and he doesn't need to use too much energy to defend, and they can't shoot it anyway.

Opening Delong. Williams missed a three-pointer, Kirilenko also missed a shot from beyond the 45-degree three-point line, and the Jazz missed two consecutive three-pointers and were immediately hit by the Clippers to start a 7-2 run.

Ji Guosha got Boozer down, and he was very cheerful on the court for a while, and this offense came out with the help of his brother's off-ball cover, and hit a three-point jumper outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, helping the Clippers open with a 10:2 attack wave, so that Sloan had to call a timeout.

Jazz fans haven't stopped booing since the game began, especially after Ji's foul, which has been scolding since the opening time, but that can't give their team the upper hand on the court.

Sloan temporarily did not have a way to solve the rebounding disadvantage, and the 10 points that the Clippers got after the opening were all scored by the twin brothers, and the two frontcourt rebounds that Ji Guoqiu grabbed were all converted into points.

Carlos. Boozer returned to the court from the locker room at this time, and it seemed that he had recovered from the blow of the elbow in Los Angeles, which made Coach Sloan breathe a sigh of relief, Boozer's height was enough, and with his strength, they didn't dare to guarantee the rebounds in the frontcourt, but at least the backcourt rebounds should be saved.

"We started well, but don't be careless, Boozer is an All-Star, you can't beat him with just a little trick, I'll show you what you're really capable of." Old Dunleavy actually used a radical method against Ji Guoqiu, in fact, he was doing this too much, Ji Guozhi had already held his strength today and planned to compete with this guy.

The game restarted, the Clippers defended, and it was Carlos who was facing Ji Guoyi. Boozer.

The Jazz's two interior lines are not fast, and against the Clippers' two interior lines with extraordinary maneuverability, Boozer and Oku are actually at a loss, and if the two brothers use the pick-and-roll to attack the Jazz basket like they did against the Spurs, Sloan actually has no good way but to rely on tough defensive moves to intimidate the opponent's breakthrough.

But now it's the offensive end, the Jazz have to attack first, and Boozer is in the low post, ready to rely on his own strength to play.

The twins' position today is different from when they played against the Spurs, the two of them are guarding the left and right waist positions together today, this is a double front defense, the two don't go to compete with Boozer in the low post at all, as long as Boozer is not allowed to receive the basketball on the inside, no matter how strong he is, can he still dismantle the basketball hoop with his bare hands?

There will be a hole in this kind of defense, which is that on the outside it will expose the Turkish center Oku, who is a rare three-point center, and he can pull out and shoot from the outside.

The Clippers are set up to let James. Posey and Artest helped them to defend Oku outside the three-point line, and as long as the Jazz passed the basketball to the outside, it was up to the Clippers' forward players to use their feet to make up for it. In this way, the Clippers outside line is equivalent to two defense three, as long as the Jazz pass the basketball to the outside, the Clippers will definitely leak one person, and this person is not Ronnie. Brewer is Kirilenko. The Clippers can't do anything about it, but fortunately, one of these two can't shoot three-pointers, and the other is a three-point cheat, which is why Dunleavy Sr. dares to use this kind of targeted defensive tactics.

Among the Jazz players, if you compare Boozer's threat in the low post, let the two Jazz players who are not good at shooting three-pointers shoot from the outside, the elder Dunleavy still thinks it is worth it, and if these two people who leak out feel particularly good today, they still have a B plan.

The Clippers' double-around front tactics, relying on the twins' interior movement speed, are under the wave of their two pairs of long arms. A good point guard like Williams can't accurately pass the basketball to the inside, and the chances of forcing a pass to be broken are too great.

Sloan shouted from the sidelines: "Break through, burst in and divide the ball!"

Delong. Williams knows what that means, and as long as he can break through to the box, the twin brothers will inevitably come over to defend him, and then the passing route will appear.

Old Dunleavy smiled, and secretly thought in his heart: "Since we dare to use this trick, we have naturally considered this method of cracking."

The Clippers do have a way to deal with the Jazz breakaway. Posey quickly retracted to the inside, in fact, he was standing very inside, and it only took one step to retreat to the box to defend, plus Billups, who was not completely thrown away, Delon. Williams burst into the box to face the Clippers' two-man defense.

The twins didn't come back to the basket at this time to help defend Delon. Williams, it was enough to have Billups and Posey there, and they just retreated to the waist position to prevent Delon. Williams distributed the ball outside the penalty area, to put it bluntly, he closed the door to cut off the passing route from the inside out, and the whole team sealed the little fat man in the penalty area.

And the two of them stand in this position, also to prevent in case Delong. Williams passed the basketball to the outside on the inside, and the Clippers now have most of the team retracted to the restricted area, and there is no one to defend on the outside. At this time, the Clippers will have to rely on the twins to pounce on the outside line to interfere, and they can stand on the waist to not only have time to pounce, but also have time to return to the basket to protect the blue version of the backcourt.

The Clippers' defense is a complex set of rotational tactics designed specifically for the Jazz and extremely targeted.

Delong. Williams has no room to shoot after dribbling to the penalty area, and forcing a shot is easy to be blocked by Posey, who assists in defense, even if it is not covered, the shooting rate will be greatly affected, and he does not have Kobe's strong ability to stay in the air.

Clippers prevent DeLong. Williams passed the ball to the outside, but he was still found a gap by the little fat man with outstanding passing ability, Kirilenko received the ball outside the three-point line, Ji Guoqiu immediately rotated at this time, and pounced on the outside in one step, but it must be too late to block, and he could only interfere with Kirilenko's shooting for a certain distance.

"Huh!"

Kirilenko hit a three-point shot this time, the old Dunleavy was expressionless off the court, the Clippers' defense will not change because of this, no matter how good the defense is, the opponent will not be able to shoot a ball, unless the Jazz play an attack wave, the Clippers will not give up the defensive strategy customized before the game, see how many threes the Jazz can shoot?

The Utah Jazz's offense is probably the worst among the four teams in the second round of the West, their range is not far enough, and it is difficult to inflict fatal damage on the enemy once the muscular style of play is penetrated by the opponent in the playoffs; They pride themselves on their pick-and-roll teamwork, and if they come up against a team that is good at defensive pick-and-roll, such as the Clippers, they will also be limited.

Without Yao Ming, the Rockets can still play six games against the Jazz despite being full of injuries, relying on the same excellent defense of the Houstoners.

That is to say, when the Jazz encounter a team with excellent defense, they can ensure that they are not penetrated by the opponent, but they also can't penetrate the opponent, and in the end, the two sides are defended, and the Jazz finally rely on their despicable lethal tactics and the play of the stars at critical moments to kill the opponent.

In the second round, the Jazz met the Clippers, and they still couldn't beat the opponent, but the Clippers may not be able to penetrate the Jazz.

Boozer has been very sluggish since the beginning of the playoffs, and it was difficult for even a rookie like Landry to clean up in the first round, and today he encountered this red fox jumping up and down, Boozer has not many ways on the defensive end, and it is difficult for him to keep up with Ji Guosha, if the Clippers give the fox brother a few off-ball covers, the latter can easily get rid of Boozer and get a shooting opportunity.

The Clippers had ten seconds left on this offense, and Ji Guoqiu made an off-ball cover at the corner position to help his younger brother block Boozer, who was following the defense.

Ji Guoyi fell directly outside the three-point line, received a pass from Billups, and hit a 3-pointer from the wing on the head of Kirilenko, who was recovering the defense.

Coach Sloan said that he still has no way to shame Ji Guoshi, the Jazz only have 3 interior players available this season, if Boozer can't prevent it, then Oku must be even more unstoppable, and the substitute Mil. Not to mention Sapp, these three guys are not much different in their movements, just like the GTX960 and GTX760, it's just that TMD has changed a vest.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26:22, and the Jazz's outside players felt good in the first quarter, which was relatively accurate compared to their last round of the series.

In the Jazz's last round series against the Rockets, their most accurate Korver three-point shooting rate was less than 35, and the Russian Kirilenko only hit 20 three-point shots. Brewer didn't shoot a three-pointer at all, and the only one who was accurate was Delon. Williams, this guy's three-point shooting reached a staggering 48 in the first-round series, and the Jazz were able to advance all thanks to the little fat superstar-level play.

Ji Guoqiu got 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first quarter, Ji Guoqiu 10 points and 3 rebounds, Billups 3 points and 3 assists, James. Posey 4 points, Mobley 3 points.

Delong. Williams 5 points and 3 assists, Oku 6 points, Boozer 2 points, Kirilenko 6 points, Kyle. Korver 3 points.

Charles. Barkley lamented during a first-quarter timeout: "Kenny, I don't remember who was the last interior player who averaged more than five assists per game?" Why does this panda have so many assists? ”

Kenny. Smith replied, "I remember that the last interior player who averaged more than five assists per game was Kevin. Garnett, but he's been honed over several seasons to do that. As for the interior who can average more than 5 assists per game in his first season, there should be no one in NBA history. ”

Charles. Barkley suddenly thought: "Did Chamberlain win an assist once?"

Kenny. Smith was speechless: "That's right, Big O averaged more assists per game that year, but the number of his appearances was not enough, and the rules in ancient times were different from now, so Chamberlain did get an assist king, do you think Brother Panda has any hope of doing what Chamberlain did in the future?"

Charles. Barkley laughed: "Chamberlain's numbers in that era are greatly reduced, and if Brother Panda can do this in the 21st century, I will really bow to him." ”

Ji Guoyi felt good today, scoring 10 points on 5 shots in the first quarter, 2 of 3 three-point shots, 1 of 2 two-point shots, and 2 free throws.

Ji Guoqiu's six points were all scored by picking up leaks under the basket, he grabbed three frontcourt rebounds in the first quarter, and Oku's total rebounds were not as many as his frontcourt rebounds.

In the second quarter of the game, the two sides changed to the bench lineup, and the Clippers sent: Blaven. Knight, Mobley, Artest, Amir. Johnson, Tim. Thomas.

The Jazz didn't have as many available people as the Clippers, and Sloan had Delon in the first quarter. Williams rested for two minutes and put the little fat man on the court as soon as the second quarter began. When the Jazz faced the Rockets in the first round, Delon Brown. Williams is averaging 42 minutes per game, and his playing time in this series is only going to be high.

Utah Jazz 2nd Quarter Lineup: Delon. Williams, Kyle. Korver, Matt. Haplin, Kirilenko, Paul. Millsap.

Coach Sloan tossed and turned, and the Jazz bench was the kind of people who could use.

At 10 minutes and 01 seconds in the second quarter, there was a dead ball on the court, and the old Dunleavy also replaced the twin brothers who had only rested for two minutes, he was forcing Boozer and Oku to have no time to rest, the number of Jazz interior rotation is too small, and the goal of the Clippers in the rotation today is to exhaust the opponent and not give the Jazz main players time to rest.

As for whether you will tire yourself out first? The elder Dunleavy has confidence in the body of the twin brothers, the playoffs are all about playing with life, not to mention that it is now the second round, and you have to exert as much strength as you want.

The score was 29:25, and the old cat Mobley broke through continuously on the offensive end, stood on the free throw line four times in two minutes, and scored three points in three of four free throws.

The Jazz's Harprin received an offensive foul. Sapp was blown away, and they relied on CJ Myers to hit a three-pointer that would otherwise have been stretched to a margin in just two minutes. R1152
