Chapter 703 [Fearsome Strength]
The Warriors are a star point guard and star interior trident, but their overall strength is recognized as weaker than the Clippers, so they were very low-key before the game. Fans are also generally pessimistic, believing that the home opener is unlucky to meet the Clippers.
With two preseason wins over the Lakers, the Clippers showed formidable strength, and some Warriors fans posted online that they would be satisfied with the home team's loss a little less.
Paul organized the offense, and the Clippers' offensive formation changed from last season, with Griffin moving to the bottom right corner, Korver and Gay moving outside the left three-point line, and Chandler dropping to cover in the middle.
The three-point performance of the bottom corner players determines the team's ability to break the joint defense, and the lack of certainty in the bottom corner when the Clippers defensive players last season was the direct cause of their loss to the Mavericks.
The Clippers' two interior lines lacked the ability to evacuate, and in the sixth game between the two sides, Yang Rui kept thinking on the sidelines that if Griffin could shoot a three-point shot from the bottom corner, he would definitely blow up the Mavericks.
So, before the holiday, Yang Rui specially told Griffin to practice the three-point shot in the bottom corner of the right side, and he didn't need to practice other positions, just one point, he was active on the bottom line, and he could cut Paul's pass at any time to attack the basket, or Paul attracted the defensive ball, and he shot in the open position.
Yang Rui asked Griffin to practice three points in the middle, the effect was not good last season, if he occupies the middle, Jordan Jr. is a waste, and if he wants the two positions not to overlap, there is only one person to change the style of play.
Those who can work harder, it is impossible for Jordan Jr. to change his style of play. In Yang Rui's previous life, Griffin practiced a bottom corner three-pointer, but he didn't shoot much.
Paul burst into the right with the ball and saw Randolph with Griffin out of his eyes, and he got rid of Conley and rushed to the basket at full speed, relying on his speed to get rid of Lopez, attracting Randolph to retract and distribute the ball into the bottom right corner.
Griffin's hard work paid off, and he did practice his right-sided three-pointers in the summer, preparing for that shot for too long, and making catch-and-shoot jumpers. 3 to 0.
Yu Jia couldn't believe it: "The person who scored the first three-point shot for the Clippers in the new season is actually Griffin, if he can guarantee a three-point shooting rate, he will be invincible." ”
Zhang Reasonable nodded: "Then he is equivalent to Stadamier, who has a longer range, and he can't defend one-on-one." ”
The Warriors attacked, the formation was pulled apart, Conley and Randolph blocked and dismantled in the middle, and Chandler switched defenses, keeping a distance to prevent breakouts and not defensive shots.
Conley can pass to his teammates, so he won't shoot endlessly. Chandler keeps a delicate distance, and the opponent pulls up the jump shot, and he can step forward and interfere with his height and reach, and he can also be intimidating. If the opponent wants to break through, he will retreat, no matter how fast he is, he will not be easily passed.
Conley split the ball to 70 degrees on the right and Lopes gave Belinelli an off-ball screen, who caught Griffin's attention, and Korver switched and moved the ball into the bottom right corner.
Lopez took a shot on tiptoe as soon as he received the ball, and returned a three-pointer in the bottom corner, which also hit. 3 to 3.
TNT Radio's Barkley said: "Since Yao Ming won the MVP and the Lakers won three consecutive championships, the big men in the league have pulled out to shoot, and now it's really hard to mix up the inside line without range." ”
Barkley used to be a man who liked to advocate "toughness", but now he is convinced, admitting that a big man with a range is more likely to lead the team to win than a strong interior player in the low post.
In Yang Rui's previous life, there was O'Neal, the center of the three-crown and three-FMVP, as an example, O'Neal only had one championship in this life, changed several teams, and retired gloomily.
Kenny Smith said: "Run-and-shoot and interior tactics are all driven by Yang Rui, but now he is mainly playing blocking and pick-and-roll in the Clippers, and only then can Chandler play an offensive role." ”
Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, played a block with Chandler, and drew Lopes into a switch to split the ball into the middle.
There was a clear misalignment on the field, and once Lopes went to defend the defender, Conley couldn't prevent the inside cut. Just opened, Conley didn't dare to pull people to foul, so he could only chase Paul.
Chandler took the ball and jumped up, slammed it into the basket with both hands. 5 to 3.
Paul had the second assist, and he knew Chandler too well to spend time grinding in.
Hornacek was on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, his face expressionless, the team was not defending well, and he did not blame the players.
He knows very well that the ceiling of this Warriors team will not be too high, it is impossible to win the championship, leading the team to play well on offense and attract fans is the task of this season, and to get closer, the management must make a big trade.
It's not that Warriors management doesn't want to trade stars, but with a shutdown in the summer and no suitable big fish in the free market, they can only hope for next year.
Randolph received the ball on the right side and singled out Griffin, changed direction and dribbled to the baseline after probing, and stepped back to shoot the ball in. 5 to 5.
Lan Fat Man can create hand space when facing people, and the feel is very soft, and Griffin is always bad one-on-one. In the playoffs last season, he averaged 20+10 per game against the Clippers.
There are a lot of pseudo-superstars in the league, and there are pseudo-tumors like Randolph, and in the playoffs, he can make the Spurs interior Duncan and Scola look like 50 years old, and the Clippers interior Jordan Jr. and Griffin look like 15 years old.
Randolph is actually a seven-foot giant, and the reason why he is 206cm is because his neck is only 1cm long. BUT HIS ARM SPAN IS 224CM, AND THE Griffin'...... (Griffin: I'll kill anyone who mentions this again!) )
Neither side called a timeout, allowing the stars to play freely.
The Clippers offense is better because Lopez is so poor at blocking and pick-and-roll that once Paul is taken away, there will be an open space under the basket, and then the Warriors can only use fouls to block Chandler's open cut.
Lopez is top-notch offensively, the defense is a black hole, the lateral movement speed is too slow, whether it is facing the air cut or switching to Paul, he is tired and needs the help of his teammates.
Because of this weakness, in Yang Rui's previous life, Lopez was not highly rated, and in 2017, the Nets began to rebuild, trading him to the Lakers, only to exchange him for the Lakers to send point guard D'Angelo Russell and center Mozgov, and he also had to take the No. 27 pick in the first round in 2017.
If the Warriors want to become stronger, they must exchange for good perimeter defenders and partner with Lopez to set up a joint defense system.
Six minutes later, Hornacek brought on substitute center Kwame Brown to replace Lopez, who had committed two fouls.
Chandler had a great performance, making a dunk and making 3 of 4 free throws to finish with five points and two rebounds in total. He was also replaced by Yang Rui, and rookie Farid came on.
The Warriors were forced to dig Kwame Brown because they were helpless, although the "parallel champion" was still two months away from being 30 years old, but it was already scrapped, and he could only rely on strength to defend the restricted area, the movement speed was very slow, and the anti-blocking and demolition was also a black hole. There is no good center in the free market, and after Lopes is gone, he can't let Randolph fight against others.
After the two sides adjusted, the Warriors couldn't defend it even more, which can be said to be Hornacek's substitution error, which is not as good as the last short forward and the Clippers to fight the small ball tactics.
As soon as Farid came out, he played to his strengths, and he hit two consecutive dunks on the counter-attack. No matter which interior defense he faces, he has an absolute advantage in speed, and he can easily shake off the opponent's fast attack.
Griffin is also a defender with speed, and with Guy, he formed a three-ghost shot as soon as he counterattacked. As long as Paul makes an accurate pass, a teammate goes head-to-head in front of him as a good opportunity.
Last season, Guy and Dunleavy played in the No. 4 position, and they could only attack and suffer a loss in defense. Now Farid dares to fight against Randolph closely, although it is difficult to block the shot, but he is not afraid of confrontation, he is extremely brave, and constantly uses the front to prevent the fat man from catching the ball.
Randolph has the ball in his hand and dares to pick Duncan and Howard, but now he is not good at receiving the ball and is very uncomfortable to be defended.
Yang Rui's arrangement is very targeted, Kwame Brown can't block the mid-range shot after the dismantling, Conley's style of play is unpretentious, he is not good at passing the anti-lob ball, and the Warriors' attack power has decreased.
