Chapter 806 [Ecstasy with small thin legs, love to touch to win]
After two days of rest, the Clippers played at home on the 4th and defeated the Rockets 137-118.
Although the Clippers won a lot of points, in fact, the Rockets also had a chance, but they couldn't shoot three points and missed a lot of good opportunities, with only 7 of 25 three-pointers overall, a shooting rate of 28%, and Harden made 7 shots from outside the three-point line.
The Clippers, led by Curry and Danny Green, made 16-of-38 three-pointers.
In the fifth game, the Clippers defeated the Magic 1o5-98 away, winning more thrillingly, and only relied on Griffin's mid-range shot and Curry's free throws to seal the victory at the last moment.
Magic's center Nikola Vucevic chipped a big double-double with 3o points, 21 rebounds and 3 assists, while Chandler had 8 points, 1o rebounds and 5 fouls and was blown up.
Yang Rui has a problem, Chandler has become weaker than last season. And his weakness is the kind that you can see at a glance as long as you wear a pair of shorts.
Recently, Chandler posted a photo of himself and female fans in the gym on Facebook, and the embarrassing thing happened, in the photo, Chandler's legs are thinner than the female fan who is 1.7 meters tall, and the thick upper limbs are somewhat disproportionate.
Many people left messages below, suspecting that the photo was ps, but it wasn't, Chandler didn't know what he did on vacation this summer, and his legs were thin like this, although his legs were also thin last year, but not to this point.
Many NBA superstars have small thin legs, which are represented by top guards Jordan, Maddy, Iverson, Kobe Bryant and others, especially Maddy, who has almost become a label for him, which can be as famous as dry pull and sleepy eyes.
Of course, there are also big men with thin legs, such as Garnett and Bosh, who are representatives of the thin interior line, but Chandler as a center has thin legs, which means that he can't resist people in the low post.
Chandler weighed 11o kilograms last season, and this season he actually dropped to 1,7 kilograms, which is about the same as Draymond Green, who is 1,4 kilograms tall at 2,1 cm.
The weight loss enhances Chandler's mobility and allows him to defend large areas, which is good for him personally and will extend his career. It's popular in the league right now, and Duncan is staying in shape by losing weight.
But that's bad for the Clippers, because the team needs a good big man to defend against the opposing man. Now Chandler can't do this job, Griffin likes to play fast offense, and he doesn't want to do it, and the Clippers' meat shield is Thackeray.
Thackeray is 213cm tall and weighs 12o kilograms, except for the anti-human skills, Yang Rui can't give him too much playing time, unless the opponent's interior attack is too strong and has to strengthen the defense of the penalty area.
Yang Rui did not talk to Chandler alone and decided to respect his choice. Chandler was also a well-known "glass man" in the early stage, he lost weight and it was easier to maintain good health, and it was better to play than to be absent. But at the end of the season, Yang Rui is ready to replace the center, and Chandler is no longer the best candidate for the Clippers.
According to the league's selection criteria, Chandler's single-defense ability has decreased, and it is impossible to be selected to the All-Defensive Team again this year, and his peak is about to pass. As a blue-collar worker, the offensive tactics do not play a big role, and if you don't defend well, it will become dispensable.
Knowing that there are weaknesses in the defense of the penalty area, Yang Rui has no intention of making up for it through a trade this season, and it is difficult to exchange for someone better than Tyson Chandler's defense in the medium term.
It's not a big deal, Chandler just suffers against tough interior players who like to attack the basket, and there are fewer and fewer players like that. The first few games conceded a lot because the interior was Brook Lopez, Dwight Howard, Cousins and Vucevic on the inside.
Even the most unknown Vucevic is not a fuel-efficient lamp on the offensive end, he has gained a lot of weight compared to the rookie side, 213cm tall, weighs 118kg, has strong offensive ability and mid-range range, can hook hands with both hands, and rebounds excellently.
It's a pity that because of the weight gain, his lateral movement has deteriorated, and his defense is very bad, which can be said to be a deviation in practice, and the road he took against the times can get beautiful statistics, and it is difficult to lead the team to win.
On Nov. 9, the Clippers beat the Rockets 112-94.
The interior line that can attack Chandler alone may not be without weaknesses, such as Howard, who is as bad as ever with free throws, and can foul if he can't prevent his strong attack.
Howard made 5 of 11 free throws and finished with 21 points and eight rebounds, but his efficiency was average.
The Clippers' defense-based shooting strategy made Harden even more miserable, scoring only 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 4-of-15 shooting, 1-of-6 three-pointers, and 3-of-3 free throws.
The strategy arranged by Yang Rui is completely aimed at the Rockets, Harden is not too strong this season, it is not difficult to prevent him, find a tall and long-arm person on the periphery to entangle and interfere with his shooting, if Harden breaks through, he will immediately be surrounded by people, so that he can't start.
As long as Harden can't make European moves and can't touch porcelain, even if he can score, the efficiency will not be too high, and his most efficient offensive method will not be able to play.
To put it bluntly, Harden is "three-point destiny, seven-point free throws, love to touch to win." ”
The next part of the Clippers' schedule is very favorable, the opponent is not strong inside, mainly relying on outside shooting offense, and cannot break through the Clippers' defense at all.
In November, they had a 12-game winning streak.
The Thunder fell to the feet of the Clippers twice, losing by 23 points on the second time, and the offense was still relying on two, and the defense was worse than last season. As a center, the blue-collar Perkins couldn't keep up with the defense.
The Nets also lost to the Clippers by 19 points, and Yao Mingfang also struggled to block and dismantle the Clippers outside, he was almost 34 years old and moved too slowly. The weakness of the anti-pick-and-roll is more obvious. In this Clippers outside pump, Curry made 8 of 15 three-pointers and Green made 5 of 8 three-pointers, easily breaking through the Nets' defense.
On Nov. 29, the season's Western Conference highlight will be staged, and the Clippers will host the Mavericks at home.
Since point guard Chris Paul joined the Mavericks, fans have been waiting for this game for a long time. The Mavericks are currently losing four games and are third in the West, behind the Clippers and Spurs.
In the coach competition, Rick Carlisle is one of the few top coaches who is not a "Jerry department", which is a bit tongue-twisting, but it is a fact, there are too many Jerry coaches in the league, and there is no other department that can be compared.
Carlisle led the Mavericks to win against Yang Rui's Clippers in 11 years, although the Clippers had just been rebuilt that year, which was also a rare performance.
In the player competition, whether it is the NBA official or other media, the top ten point guards in the league are selected, and the top two are Paul and Curry. For the first time, Curry was ahead of Paul, and many people were unconvinced, believing that Paul was stronger.
The discussion between the two has never stopped online, and most basketball pundits believe that it is Curry's time. Because at different times, point guards are given different missions.
Paul is a traditional point guard, focusing on blocking, coordination, passing, and organization; Curry, on the other hand, is a new type of guard that focuses on individual offense and outside threats, which strengthens the scoring ability at this position.
Take the two people in the past '96 as examples, one is Nash and the other is Iverson. Nash is the conductor on the court, but Iverson is more glamorous and popular.
In this day and age, with the small-ball trend rampant, few traditional point guards, and two-way guards in vogue, Paul can only give up the light to Curry. At present, in the All-Star vote, Curry's votes are also far ahead of Paul, and he may continue to win the vote king.
Another gimmick is that Monta Ellis has also joined the Mavericks, and now there is a huge gap between him and Curry's popularity, I don't know what I think, whether I want to do my best this time.
Both teams are also stars on the inside, and there are many highlights in this game, and it is believed that it will be a battle of dragons and tigers.
