On the Warriors' bench, head coach Montgomery and assistant coach Ron Adams talk about the situation on the court.
'Elton Brand is in good form and has made the second mid-range shot. Ron Adams' expression is serious, Brad is averaging 24+ points per game, has proven to be the NBA's best scoring No. 4 position, and there have been many games this season that have relied directly on his play to win.
"Yang Di defends very well, but his straight-arm jumper has always ignored defense." Montgomery nodded.
"Can you strengthen the bag clip?"
"If Elton Brand is just a jumper, there is no need to wrap up, I believe in Yang Di's defense, and I believe that Brand can't always be so accurate, and the shooting percentage will always come down."
Adams said: "The Clippers have brought on Corey Margetty, and they will definitely bring on Rademanovic in a while, should we rotate on the outside to ensure that we have enough energy." ”
"Change Monta? At this time, he is about the same height as Mobley, and he still has an advantage in speed. ”
"I'm more worried about his experience, I'm afraid that he will be deceived by these old playoff fritters and make some mistakes on the court, like Danny's leak just now."
Montgomery voiced his inner concerns, and then didn't want to rotate early, but was still prepared to wait and give Granger a little more time to get used to it, after all, Granger is now the main part of the Warriors' outside line.
On TNT, two commentators chatted about the game that had ended.
"The Warriors and Clippers are in the third game, and in the two games that have ended, the Cavaliers beat the Wizards 97-86 and the Heat beat the Bulls 111-106."
"The three best stars in the class of '03, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, have already taken the lead in winning this year's playoffs, will Youngdy also be one of them to win the Clippers?"
"I feel that the overall strength of the Clippers is still slightly inferior to the Warriors, including the Warriors are still a few points ahead at this time, and if they never find a way to restrain Yang Dee, it will be difficult for the Clippers to win."
On the field, Yang Di received the ball again.
At this time, the first quarter has reached more than 7 minutes, and it is about to enter the rotation time.
Yang Di hit Brand on the back and hit it twice, and the Clippers suddenly used the bag clip, and Margeti, who came in from the outside, wrapped Yang Di, so Yang Di had very little front space.
Yang Di immediately turned his back, took his left foot as the axis, turned to the bottom line, and after his right foot stepped on the ground, he turned around and jumped.
Yang Di's shooting is leaning back, his feet are bounced off to maintain balance, and in the training of Olajuwon, he also mastered the skills of this hand, but most of them are close-range shots, and if he is far away, his shooting percentage is difficult to grasp.
This time, the shot happened to be near the paint area, and Yang Di relied on his strong power to card the main position, and turned around to shoot Brand almost too late to block.
Then a hollow ball was thrown near the zero degree angle.
The Warriors led by six points at 20-14.
The gap was even bigger than just two minutes ago, and the head coach of the Clippers, Dunleavy, couldn't help but sweat in his heart, "You must resist it!" ”
Kassel with the ball on the outside.
Brand struggled to get out of the pick-and-roll, Cassel dribbled to the right, and Brand went down from the left.
The two blocked the split second, and Yang Di and Byron Davis tacitly got along the bag at the same time to put pressure on Kassel.
Cassel's eyes flashed, and he held the ball in both hands, and this time the ball was handled very quickly.
Brand was directly at point guard, Yang Di immediately turned around and walked to the basket, in order to rotate the defense, Danny Granger on the outside turned back to make up for Brand.
Yang Di adjusted in small steps, and rushed out of the three-point line.
Brand transferred the ball to Mobley's hand, and Mobley forced a shot directly in front of Yang Di's defense, because of his position advantage and fast shooting, Yang Di did not cover it.
When I turned my head, I saw that it was hollow into the net.
17-20, the Clippers trailed by two points.
Yang Di raised his hand and signaled that he was responsible for the ball, and when Mobley received the ball from the outside, his first judgment was that Mobley might break through the time difference, but he didn't expect Mobley to pull it up and shoot directly.
The Clippers attacked, and Danny Granger did the pick-and-roll for Byron Davis.
Byron Davis changed direction in front of the press, the Clippers' defense was leaky, and Davis broke straight inside.
Near the free throw line, Chris Carman stepped up to make up for it, Brand spread his hands to guard the basket, and the entire Clippers shrank their defense, cutting off Davis' passing lane.
Davis spun the ball and handed it to Jandy.
Yang Di received the ball near the baseline, and after taking the ball, Brand immediately moved quickly and raised his arm to shoot.
Because it was a supplementary defense, Brand couldn't judge clearly, and almost jumped up directly with his feet, even if he reacted in time, his movements were slower, and his center of gravity rose.
Yang Di broke through with the ball in his left hand and moved near the halfway line, at which point Byron Davis withdrew from the inside line, and Brand followed Yang Di.
Yang Di stopped suddenly, his right foot was the axis, his left foot was back, and he pulled the ball horizontally with his left hand on his back and made a turning motion.
"I want to turn around!"
Brad let out a loud shout, and with his outstanding physical fitness, he also stopped suddenly.
At this moment, Yang Di's wolf waist twisted, and with his strong core control, his left foot took a big step to the left, and the whole person turned around head-on, and the center of gravity suddenly shifted from the right foot to the left foot, and the whole person jumped out drifting.
Brand watched in embarrassment as Yang Di drifted away from him, unable to defend any longer.
The basketball spun and hit the rim of the rim and hit.
22 to 17.
"What a beautiful move, what a beautiful step!" The audience let out an exclamation of amazement, followed by a round of applause.
Brand blushed, Yang Di had already scored 8 points, and he couldn't prevent him at all.
After a few more rounds, the two sides began their normal lineup rotation, with the Clippers bringing on Radmanovic and Shaun Livingston, while the Warriors brought on Derrick Fisher, Foyer, John Salmons and others.
It wasn't until the second quarter that Montgomery hesitated to put Monta Ellis on the court.
However, Ellis's height and weight suffered from the No. 2 position, but fortunately, at this time, the Clippers rotated Mobley and Cassel to the No. 2 position, and Livingston was the No. 1 position.
Livingston played against Fisher, who was shorter but had a lot of power and a steady center of gravity, and Livingston tried to dribble under his crotch and then pull up from mid-range.
Hit two points on Fisher's head.
"Livingston is too tall at the No. 1 position, and he's shooting solid." On the bench, Yang Di was a little worried.
"Radmanovic is also tall." Davis also thinks it's tricky, the Clippers' bench lineup is very strange, the offensive end is very distinctive, if you can't solve the height disadvantage, it will be difficult to shoot against the opposite side.
"It's up to the coach to figure it out." Yang Di took a sip of water and said slowly.
