The Hawks' offensive routine has a lot of similarities with the Clippers, mainly relying on the middle to block and dismantle, side off-ball cover to find opportunities, remove the inside line, and combine inside and outside. The difference is that the Clippers star shoots more, and the Hawks shoot more evenly at all positions.

Yang Rui arranged to mark people and actively change guards.

Teague and Millsap played a block in the middle, broke through and failed to pass Draymond, passed the ball to the middle, Danny Green kept a distance in front of Millsap to interfere, the two were about the same height, Millsap couldn't shoot easily.

Millsap dribbled a pass to Korver, who was tangled in Curry and had a height advantage, but he was caught up in a close-up shot with a bad rhythm and passed to Horford, who was pulled to the right 60 degrees.

Horford stepped in the frame, changed direction with the ball and failed to pass Gasol, and then found his teammates with his back to protect the ball.

After sending Griffin away, the Clippers have improved significantly defensively this year, and the tactics of one big with four small, or five small with death, have caused headaches for all teams. Clippers players are not afraid of misplacement at all, even Gasol is not a meat shield, he played small forward when he first entered the league, then changed to power forward, and then turned to center.

Gasol's defense is flawed, his strength is average, and many people say he is soft. In fact, he relies on his height of 213CM and ultra-long arm span of 230CM, and rarely suffers from the league's top interior alignment. The only person who can be called Gasol's nemesis is Nowitzki, who often beats him up with his skills.

Horford has never been a super scorer, his height and reach are at a disadvantage, and he can't get rid of Gasol.

With 24 seconds to go, Teague faced Draymond and hit a pull-up jumper that missed the interference, and Gasol grabbed the rebound.

The Clippers offense is still a simple match, Draymond Draymond pulled out the three-point line to cover, Curry attracted Millsap to change the defense, and the ball was divided to 70 degrees on the right side, this time Horford's defense was not close enough.

The same running position as just now turned into Gasol covering Danny Green. Danny Green shot average from the field in the regular season this year, and only 30 percent from three-point range in the first round of the playoffs, but then he began to regain his touch.

Danny catches the ball and shoots it with perfect rhythm, Korver can't get around the cover and the ball hollows into the net. 5 to 0.

The Hawks offense, once again stuck in the Clippers' defensive hell, the only man with the advantage was Korver, but he never practiced the ball-handling offense. He caught the ball and forced a three-pointer in the face of Curry, which was deflected wide under the interference, and Gasol grabbed the rebound.

The Hawks win on defense, averaging 97.1 points per game, ranking first in the league, and defending by man-markers. The Clippers failed to get open on two screens, and Gasol misplaced Korver and missed the jumper.

Millsap took a backcourt rebound and a pass to launch a counterattack, Wiggins received the ball and singled out Middleton, forcing a layup and missing. Draymond grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and slowed the tempo.

In this series, Yang Rui asked for positional battles, and the players patiently looked for opportunities, and ran out of 24 seconds, Curry singled out Teague and made a three-point shot.

The positional battle will be more dull, but Yang Rui's arrangement captures the Achilles heel of the eagles. After three and a half minutes, the Eagles made a mid-range shot from Teague. The Clippers had a mediocre shooting percentage, but they were 9-2 ahead.

Five and a half minutes later, with the Clippers leading 14-5 and firmly in control, Budenholzer called a timeout first.

The Hawks' offense is weak and must be adjusted, but the most attacking man is already on the court, Millsap can't play one-on-one, and Teague is also difficult to break through after blocking, all because of Draymond.

Various media commentators lamented that Draymond deserved the award for Best Defensive Player.

In order to strengthen the offense, Budenholzer replaced Schroder, who had a strong breakthrough, and there was a problem on the defensive end, Curry played Schroder, who was 185CM tall and weighed 78kg, it was too easy, and Schroder couldn't stop the big man from cutting in the air after blocking.

In the second half, the Clippers replaced Middleton and Gasol, replaced Gay and Nene with Gay, added two offensive points with the ball, and continued to grind with the Hawks.

At 31-18 in the first quarter, the Clippers quietly led by 13 points.

ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy commented: "There is a big difference in quality between the two teams, the Clippers star is playing well, and the Hawks are lacking a sure super scorer, which is how the Spurs were eliminated by the Clippers last season. ”

"The Hawks are building the team along the Spurs' mindset, and Budenholzer's coaching is a success, but it's very difficult for him to beat Jerry Young with Popovich's set," Mike Brin said. ”

The weakness of the Eagles is that they do not have big-name stars, the individual ability of the players is average, they can't attract bags, and they rely on overall cooperation to win.

The core of the Clippers on the court is clear, Curry can attract the pack, and the three-man defense is outstanding, as long as the blocking and dismantling are well guarded, the Hawks can only rely on singles to score and expose their shortcomings.

In the second quarter, the rotation lineup played, and the advantage of the Clippers was more obvious, LaVine, Middleton, Gay, Antetokounmpo, and Nene .

In the finals, Yang Rui does not plan to practice and does not have any reservations, even Whiteside, a super physical insider, sits on the bench, let the experienced insider lead the team to play, the veteran is not easy to make mistakes, and the low position is excellent.

The three best swing men ensure flank defense, the dunk king pulls the physical talent to defend and defend the guard without suffering, Schroder is not good at mid-to-long range shooting, and what LaVine has to do is to keep up with the speed and not be passed by one step.

The Hawks' five of Schroder, Sefrosha, Carroll, Millsap, and Pero Antich are considered the best rotations in the East, but they are not good compared to the Clippers, the two guards have no three-pointers, and the team lacks a low-post offense.

Antich, who entered the NBA out of the draft, is 211CM tall, weighs 118 kg, is very strong, has tattoos on both arms, has a big beard, and his appearance can be described as "look at me and you will die".

However, this guy with a strong image and looks like a gangster beater, especially likes to shoot outside, has a slow air cutting speed, rarely plays low post, and is not allowed to shoot three-point shots.

This contrast is so big that it is as if Sun Honglei was on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, dressed as if he was undefeated in the East, and sang as soon as he opened his mouth: "Love and hate are in an instant, raise a glass to the moon like the sky, love and hate are boundless, ask you when you will fall in love......"

After playing 5 minutes, Antic shot 0 of 2 and did not enter the penalty area once, and Budenhozer reluctantly replaced him.

He didn't shoot Antich on the sidelines, not because of a good temper, but because the law doesn't allow it.

The Clippers' outside four are all very fast, can not only retract the restricted area, but also interfere with shooting, and the point difference continues to widen.

In the second half, the Eagles picked up the tempo and wanted to improve their shooting percentage through chaotic battles. Yang Rui sent the Death Five, Draymond as a cameo center, Alphabet Columbia forward, and Curry, Gay, and Danny Green on the periphery.

This lineup is good at defending fast offense, and the offensive end can not only counterattack with the individual ability of the star, but also fall into position, Brother Alphabet's talent advantage is brought into play, and anyone in the counterattack is like a misplacement.

62-37, the Hawks of the Clippers defense did not score 20 points in a single quarter, and there was no suspense about the victory.

In the second half, the Clippers continued to control the tempo, and Gasol came out to grind the position, giving full play to his characteristics as a pivot, covering the air cut can be strong, and can also rely on the height advantage to face the guard to shoot.

Another weakness of the Hawks is that the interior height is too short, Antich has a height defense and dismantling difference, Horford moves fast enough, and his height is only 208CM, once the Hawks center is withdrawn from the penalty area, the big man cuts empty, and Millsap's height of 201CM is difficult to hold the penalty area.

When encountering an interior line that relies on strength, Millsap can fight, but Gasol has a soft touch and outstanding shooting, and he can't block it.

After three quarters, the game went into garbage time.
