Clippers starters: Paul, Curry, Korver, Gay, Griffin.

Yang Rui made an adjustment to rest Jordan Jr., the starting center in the first two rounds, and prepared to fight directly with the Mavericks to attack.

TNT's Barkley said: "Jerry Young is always so unexpected, opening with a small-ball lineup, and the Mavericks' lineup is mutually reinforcing, and this game is a good game, it depends on who has the most offense. ”

Mavericks starters: Kidd, DeSean Stevenson, Prince, Nowitzki, Gasol Jr.

It's the Mavericks' usual starter, with all five players shooting three-pointers to maximize the space. Gasol Jr. imitated Yao Ming's style of play, and began to increase his range and shoot three-pointers in the past two seasons, and he and Prince were slightly worse on the spot.

Looking at the lineup, you can know that the Mavericks are not fast, and the defense relies on joint defense, limiting the opponent's breakthrough, and the strong attack in the penalty area. These were aimed at Jordan Jr. and Griffin, and they worked well in the regular season.

In the regular season, the Mavericks' starters can generally suppress the Clippers, and the whole league is studying the inside strategy, with range, and the big man who is good at blocking people pulls out to respond, this move is too difficult to prevent, even if the trend is brought up by Yang Rui, he is not good at preventing Gasol Jr.

If there is a better choice, Yang Rui will definitely send away Little Jordan, a rough brother who averages 0.2 assists per game, with no range, no response, and no threat at all on the offensive end except for air cuts. And Yang Rui knew that Little Jordan couldn't practice a strategy, and his ball quotient was too low.

In the regular season, when the Clippers accelerated the offensive tempo and played small-ball tactics, Carlisle would let Gasol Jr. rest, and Marion came out and also played small-ball tactics.

Yang Rui guessed the opponent's arrangement, and he attacked quickly at the beginning, as long as the players felt good, at least they would not suffer losses, and the Clippers would not be able to win the same positional battle.

Griffin jumped the ball to beat Gasol Jr., Paul received the ball and brought it to the frontcourt, the middle guard attracted the Kidd defense, and passed to Curry, who was covered by Griffin on the right side and ran away from Stevenson.

A simple pass opportunity came out, Gay and Korver pulled away outside the left three-point line, Gasol Jr. defended Griffin, and after covering, Stevenson, who is 196CM tall, is the orthodox No. 2 position, his body is very strong, the chasing speed is not fast enough, and Gasol Jr. is not close enough to change defense.

Curry received the ball at 70 degrees and immediately shot, and the ball arced perfectly and hollowed into the net. 3 to 0.

Zhang Li shouted: "Beautiful, the best sixth man Curry started today, hit three points at the beginning, really dare to shoot, really score!" ”

Yang Rui applauded Curry on the sidelines, this is not Curry's limit, he didn't practice the strongest shot, and now his shooting posture is relatively standard, a little floating.

The trick that Dell Curry taught his son is basically to close the ball and shoot together, with a good sense of the ball, a low shot, a slight outward bracket of the right elbow, a slight thrust, and a high arc. That shot can make up for the lack of height and be faster.

Old Curry is a genius delayed by the times, the highest honor in his life is the best sixth man, if he met a good coach when he was young, let him shoot three points to his heart's content, the achievement will be higher, but unfortunately the league was not popular to shoot three points back then.

The Mavericks attacked, the player pulled away, and Nowitzki received the ball in the low post on the right side and singled out Guy.

BEFORE 2007, FORWARDS AROUND 200-205CM TALL COULD PLAY A GOOD ROLE IN DEFENDING NOWITZKI, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS SPEED, BUT ALSO BECAUSE HE COULD INTERFERE WITH HIS SHOOTING.

When he was young, Nowitzki mostly attacked in the face frame, and after 2007, he practiced the "Golden Rooster Independence" stunt, one-on-one is almost incomprehensible, and it is impossible for a short forward to defend against him.

He relied on his height advantage to receive the ball with his back to him, leaned on Guy, turned to the middle and jumped on one leg, and made a big backward jumper.

Nowitzki's move doesn't need to feint, and it doesn't need to shake off the opponent, and the opponent can't cover it anyway. Someone has used physics and mathematics to analyze his "Golden Rooster Independence", saying that this is a shot that cannot be blocked in the front.

Guy jumped with all his might, couldn't even seal his eyes, and the ball hollowed into the net. 3 to 2.

The Clippers attacked, Paul was transported to the frontcourt, and Griffin went to the side to cover Curry, and there were misplacements everywhere.

After Curry ran the position, Paul bobbed for a moment and suddenly started to change direction to the left and break through from Kidd.

Kidd was too slow, and once he was shaken off, he could only chase from behind his ass, and after the cover, Griffin cut in the air, and Gasol Jr. stood relatively far away and didn't get stuck.

Paul threw the ball into the air near the penalty area on the left, Griffin flew up on the right side, received the ball with both hands, scored with both hands in the air, turned sideways, and smashed the ball with his right hand. 5 to 2.

Zhang Li exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, this kind of cooperation between Paul and Griffin makes people never get tired of watching, jumping so high, little Gasol can't come back as soon as he goes out." ”

Yu Jia said: "The Mavericks are also very strong offensively, but they will not have this kind of violent dunk, they are basically shooting, and the spectacle of the two teams playing is not at the same level." ”

At this time, the Mavericks player blocked and dismantled in the middle, and Gasol Jr. received the ball on the outside.

He was very responsive, leaning his back against Griffin and smashing the ball sideways into the box. Nowitzki was in the middle of the basket and turned to the right side with Guy and scored with an easy hook. 5 to 4.

Yang Rui knew that he couldn't prevent this, but against Nowitzki, he would die worse if he took a bag at the beginning, he could move the ball out of the perimeter and let his teammates catch the ball and shoot.

The Clippers attacked, Paul once again relied on speed to get past Kidd, Gasol Jr. made up for the defense, Paul gave the ball to Curry in the bottom corner, and Stevenson was blocked by Griffin.

The big man can protect the box well near the restricted area, but the Mavericks can't prevent the Clippers from attacking with joint defense, and the two corner players are Korver and Curry, whose 40% three-point shooting rate is considered abnormal, which is below average.

Curry catches the ball and makes a jumper, and the ball hollows into the net. 8 to 4.

The Mavericks attacked, still passing to Nowitzki, and this time he attracted Griffin to wrap the ball and cross the ball to the middle, and Gasol Jr. threw the ball in the middle of the toe. 8 to 6.

As Yang Rui expected before the game, both teams couldn't defend each other, and the Clippers gradually took the lead, because they mainly shot three-pointers, the Mavericks shot two points, and the Clippers players relied on mobility to create open shots.

The stars are one-on-one, and although Guy can't cover Nowitzki, he can interfere slightly in front of him. Kidd defends Paul, can't even interfere, the single defense will be directly passed, keep a distance to prevent breakthroughs, Paul can shoot again, free to share the ball, no one interferes, his passing success rate is super high.

In 2008, when the Dream Team was training together, Kidd couldn't guard Paul, and Yang Rui knew this very well, Kidd had long been an anti-swing man who was better than a defensive guard.

In the 2010 World Championships, Kidd's strength could no longer be selected for the national team, even if he wanted to go, Yang Rui would not take him as a mascot who could not prevent a breakthrough.

In order to prevent breakthroughs and blocks, 5 minutes later, Rick Carlisle replaced Barria, Terry, Marion, and replaced Kidd, Stevenson, and Gasol Jr.

The Mavericks are forced to follow the rhythm of the Clippers, and if the opponent is allowed to score so easily, the overall morale will collapse, and the applause from the fans on the sidelines to the home team and the boos to the Mavericks will affect the mentality of the players.

The Clippers mainly relied on two players to play this period, Paul had 4 points and 4 assists, Curry shot 3 three-pointers, scored a layup, and scored 11 points and 1 assist. Guy and Griffin each had a violent dunk.

The only person the Clippers didn't score was Korver, and he also played a role, attracting the wing defense, so that Prince couldn't drop back at any time to make up for the defense, help the defense, and no team dared to try to empty Korver.
