Chapter 717 [One-sided, live to hell]

In the second half, Yang Rui continued to arrange positional battles, reduce the number of offensive rounds, and stabilize the defense, which was the most effective against the Magic.

As soon as Howard played, Chandler played, and he was single-handedly near the box, making it impossible for him to score under the basket easily.

Barkley said: "Chandler and Howard are in the opposite position, they don't need teammates to wrap up, and before Howard played Chandler's team, he averaged only 14.5 points, 12 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. ”

"It's hard for Howard to score a double-double in this game, and if he wants to get a double-double, he's going to have to play in garbage time," Smith said. ”

"Chandler has proven his worth, he deserves a multi-million dollar salary and will be an important part of the Clippers' championship contention, a team that has no weaknesses on the defensive end," Barkley sighed. ”

When the Clippers send two guards, the defensive weakness is obvious, but if Yang Rui emphasizes defense, all opponents will have big heads.

Paul, Tony Allen, Battier, and Chandler are four defensive strongmen, and their configuration can be compared with Yang Rui's previous Pistons and Celtics when they won the championship, and those two teams do not have such strong offensive power as the Clippers.

Chandler can prop up a defensive system, and today's Jordan Jr., the template is more like the young Marcus Camby, the defense has been relying on physical fitness, and the positional defense will not put pressure on the ball carrier on his back.

Someone hit with his back, and little Jordan obediently pushed it behind, and the opponent took a step inside and he stepped back a little, and the opponent shook his shoulder a little in the direction of the paint area, and he obediently turned over, and then the opponent turned around directly in the opposite direction and finished shooting, basically not covering.

In last year's playoffs, Jordan Jr. couldn't defend Aldridge, Brook Lopez, Randolph, Gasol Jr., Nowitzki...... He can't defend any of the inside stars who are good at singles, and the reality is so cruel.

Chandler's role with the Clippers is really not something the numbers tell. If the center of the Clippers this season is still Jordan Jr., they will not play well in the playoffs, and even if they win the championship, they will have to work hard and depend on luck.

The Clippers led by 30 points 75-45 into the final quarter, completely one-sided.

Howard played 32 minutes, shooting 3-of-6 from the field and 2-of-5 from the free-throw line, scoring just eight points, 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.

Chandler played the same amount of time, shooting 2-of-3 from the field and not making free throws, and finished with four points and five rebounds. Howard has better stats, but no one thinks he has any advantage over Chandler.

In the last quarter, Yang Rui rested Chandler, Paul, and Griffin, Aaron Gray played center, and Curry, Danny Green, Gay, and Battier were on the outside.

Hollins wanted to lose a little less, so he sent Howard, Anderson and Nelson as three starters, as well as Redick and Quentin Richardson.

As a result, Howard was disgraced, and he didn't have an advantage in the low post single-handedly against Gray.

Gray has a bad offense and slow speed, but he is an orthodox meat shield center, who plays bravely and wins by confrontation. He guarded Howard close to him and made it difficult for him to get to the basket.

Howard received the ball in the low post and passed it to Gray twice, unable to turn easily; He went to the outside to help his teammates block and create shooting opportunities, and then the air cut was ineffective, and after receiving the pass in a misplace, he was hugged by Curry and Battier and sent to the free throw line.

The more Howard tried to score, the worse his performance became, making 0 of 4 free throws.

Compared to 2009, Howard has not improved at all, he still plays on his body, and the increase in stats is due to a little more shots and more playing time, not an increase in efficiency.

Magic home fans are disappointed, many people on the Internet say that Howard is a master of abuse, playing a team without a good defensive center, can get super data, and he will be deflated against a defensive interior line, and play like two.

Hollins couldn't stand it and replaced Howard with a rest, and his stats were fixed at 8 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, and he shot 2-of-9 from the free throw line.

Glenn Davis, who came off the bench, performed even worse, and could only block and wait for the ball to be returned after the stake, and the defense was a black hole.

Davis is 206CM tall and weighs 131 kg, he is an out-of-print fat man in the NBA, with a thick waist, a big ass, and a very simple appearance, ranking among the top three in the NBA in terms of weight.

It is said that he often goes straight to the nightclub as soon as he leaves the stadium, and he has to take a few girls home, and he knows that it is the level of "living treasure" at a glance.

He has not lost weight for many years in the league, which shows that his professionalism is not high, and he usually does not pay attention to diet, and I don't know how Rivers indulged him in the Green Army.

You will think this is not bad after only ten minutes, but don't let him play for more than ten minutes, otherwise he will be so lazy that he can't even control his facial expressions, his whole face will be empty, his eyelids will droop, and he will feel like he can find a place to lie down and fall asleep in 5 seconds.

All in all, Davis is an inside bench level, but he is not self-aware, in the Green Army wanted to start, Rivers didn't give it, he shouted and left, joined the Magic, and the result didn't come out.

The Clippers' bench defense is still good, and Danny Green's defense is better than that of Korver, who started the game; On the offensive end, Guy holds the ball in the middle, can play single, can divide the ball, two guards run to catch the ball and shoot, and Battier attracts in the bottom corner to ensure offensive firepower.

Guy started the game, the ball was limited, and he couldn't play until the opponent's wing defense was bad, and now he took the bench to play "Ah Q" Quentin Richardson very loosely, hitting consecutive jumpers.

At 10 years, Quentin signed a four-year, $12 million contract with the Magic, with a player option for the fourth year.

He is completely useless, lacking concentration on the defensive end and playing iron on the offensive end, he can only average 4.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 18 minutes per game, shooting 37.6% from the field and 32.8% from three-point range.

Not only Gay, but Green also stepped up, and the Clippers signed him with another one-year salary in the summer, which is better than last season, fast, can find cover to run, catch and shoot, three-point accuracy, and excellent face defense.

Redick was the best shot for the Magic and was repeatedly beaten by Green's defense.

At 107-60 in the final game, the Clippers won by 47 points.

Griffin had the best performance of the game, with 26 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, and Paul also had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists.

Barkley laughed: "Jerry still saved face for the Magic, and the starting time was relatively short. If the starter plays for a longer time, the Magic may lose by more than 60 points, setting a record for the largest point difference in the team. ”

Many Magic fans left the game one after another with 5 minutes left, just lost to the Celtics last week, and now only scored 60 points against the Clippers.

It's not terrible to lose, but it's ugly to lose, it's not going to attract fans, and the team has to start rebuilding.

Hollins frowned on the sidelines, knowing that he was definitely leaving the Magic, and so was Howard, who built the team with a senior blue-collar team at its core, and obviously couldn't make it.

Born in 1953, Hollins has only worked with Yang Rui for one year, he is 21 years older than Yang Rui, and he thinks that he has a wider vision, as long as he has seen the secret of Yang Rui's success and learned Yang Rui's offensive tactics, he can compete with him. The result was that he competed with Yang Rui's team, and he was abused once.

He didn't want to retire, but he couldn't think of where he could beat Yang Rui's Clippers.

After the game, the reporter asked Yang Rui: "Did you deliberately strengthen the defense, guard against Howard, and make it difficult for him to score?" It seems like you have a way to deal with Howard every time. ”

Yang Rui was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "The player's single defense is good, it is a personal ability, I can't arrange tactics to say don't be so strict, let Howard score more points, right?" Against different teams, I will arrange different tactics, against the Magic, strengthen the defense, and fight the position to attack is the most suitable. ”

Hollins said of the Clippers, like many coaches, very simply: "They are the best team this season. ”

This sentence can sum up everything, and there is nothing wrong with it. 8910
