Chapter 838 [Switch freely, can be fast or slow]
The Nets attacked, Delong and Yao Ming blocked and dismantled in the middle, and the breakthrough on the left side was blocked by Farid.
DeLong took a step to the middle, leaned on Faried's right hand to pull the ball, strode to the left side and turned successfully, took advantage of the left-handed basket, and scored a cricket. 5 to 2.
As a point guard, Deron is strong enough to fight against Farid, and the average guard may not be able to stabilize the center of gravity when he collides with a half-orc. In this life, Delon was selected by the Bobcats, and his early career evaluation was average, but fortunately, there were no major injuries.
This season, the neat Delon averaged 18.4 points, 3 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game in the regular season, and is still the league's hottest star point guard.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the word "underestimated" was never used to describe Delong, and he was a frequent visitor to the overrated list like Roy, but in this life, many people felt that he was seriously underestimated in the early stage of his career.
He has won the All-Star Skills Championship, with a high of 57 points in a single game and a 9-pointer in the half, and Delon has also played evenly with the peak Byron Davis on several occasions.
The Clippers attacked, the players all pulled away, a simple run on the side, Curry passed the ball to Middleton in the middle, who attracted Favors to switch defenses and pass to Griffin, Griffin received the ball and dribbled a step and was stuck by Joe Johnson, failed to start the impact basket at full speed, and took another step to change direction to the middle, Yao Ming went to the basket and raised his arm to cover Griffin.
Griffin didn't have room to shoot and couldn't find space to pass to Farid. Farid was standing too close to the basket and was on the same line as Yao Ming, and Griffin's vision was blocked.
Griffin couldn't dribble anymore and hurriedly passed the ball to nearby Guy and made a mistake. Butler defended tightly, made a successful steal around the front in time, and went down quickly.
Butler was quick, dribbling to the front court and scoring on Gay's bulldozer-style layup. 5 to 4.
Because of his appearance and body, there are rumors that Butler is Michael Jordan's illegitimate son, he can jump on the spot and catch dunks in the empty basket with his head, often bulldozer-style breakthroughs, and has bottomless physical strength, which is indeed a bit reminiscent of Jordan.
This year Butler has improved again, developing offensive ability with the ball, and is more than just a hard-working 3-and-D player. Of course, he also has shortcomings, with a height of 201CM, his arm span is only 202CM, which is a little unbearable to look at directly, which will affect his growth ceiling.
The Clippers attacked, and Yang Rui shouted to the sidelines: "No. 1 tactics, all pull away!" ”
The players understood that Middleton on the side was no longer looking for off-ball cover, waiting for an opportunity to catch and shoot at a position of about 60 degrees, while Griffin stood in the bottom corner on the right side, and Favors kept a distance from him, preventing breakouts and shooting.
The bottom corner was Griffin's only spot on the spot, and all of his 12 three-pointers in the regular season were at that point, shooting a bit miserably at 27.3 percent. Yang Rui didn't plan to let Griffin hit the basket, and it was a fool's choice to challenge Yao Ming near the penalty area.
In the last round of the series, Yao Ming's Hibbert in the penalty area was suspicious of life, he didn't need to move fast, he just relied on his height to interfere with the standing position, and Griffin used the penalty area line to turn around and play the board and throw those two moves in this series, he just couldn't find it comfortable.
After all the players pulled away, Curry directly singled out Delon in the middle, and took a step to the right with a continuous crotch dribble, Delon judged accurately and followed closely, Curry pulled the ball up with his right hand, quickly turned and moved sideways to the left, and the face frame stepped back and DeLong opened the distance, and made a jump shot.
Delon's lateral speed has been criticized, his defense of the No. 2 position is better than the defense guard, this time he moved a step and did not jump, Curry had already shot, the shot was very comfortable, and he hit a three-pointer.
8-4, Curry's personal 6th point.
On the sidelines, "Cornerstone" Thackeray waved a towel and led several teammates on the bench to start an awkward dance, stealing the show, and the cheers of the home fans were also higher and higher.
The Nets attacked, and after blocking and dismantling, Delon passed to Joe Johnson, who was running on the side, and Griffin switched defenses in time. Joe Johnson broke through with the ball in a misplaced position, and the European stepped into the penalty area in the middle, threw a shot against Griffin's defense, and avoided the block ball. 8 to 6.
The Clippers attacked, and the players pulled away to let Curry go head-to-head, using the individual ability of the star to disrupt the opponent's defense.
Curry made a move one meter outside the three-point line, the ball was handed over to the right hand and took a step to the right, the crotch dribble to the left hand to change direction, Delon hurriedly moved sideways, his right foot just stepped on it, Curry dribbled the ball behind his left hand, the ball was handed over to his right hand, pulled the ball and took a step back, and made a three-point jumper.
Delon was stunned, and could only reach out to interfere slightly, and the side Joe Johnson didn't cover it when he came up to help defend it, and he couldn't jump up on the floor. The ball was slightly off, brushed out of the frame, and the rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming.
The Clippers players returned to defense at full speed, the joint defense was in place, and Curry was not annoyed if he missed the shot, and the opportunity came out, so it was right to play.
The Nets' offense was blocked, several passes were not available, and almost 24 seconds were used, Delon singled Curry's pull-up jump shot and missed, Griffin grabbed the rebound to Middleton, who passed to Gay, and the Clippers made a quick break.
Guy gave Farid in the middle, the orc took three steps with the ball, Favors is not a vegetarian, but he is tall and heavy, his speed is still slightly inferior, the side is not covered, and Farid makes a layup. 10 to 6.
The Nets attacked, and Deron brought it to the front court to pass to Joe Johnson, who hung to Yao Ming, who was in the right low post and singled out Griffin in the low post, turned around and shot the basketball. 10 to 8.
The Clippers attacked, Stevens shouted at the players on the court to change positions, Jimmy Butler targeted Curry, and Deron went to defend Middleton at the No. 2 position.
Curry's head-to-head efforts have increased the difficulty, Butler's speed can keep up with the guard, and his close strength can affect Curry's rhythm with the ball, and Curry has divided the ball again.
The Clippers players patiently looked for opportunities, and the back and forth passes were not easy to create gaps, and it was fast to 24 seconds, Griffin singled Joe Johnson for a pull-up jump shot that missed, and the rebound was obtained by Yao Ming.
The starting styles of the two teams are mutually restrictive, the Nets are in a positional battle to attack the restricted area, the Clippers are not easy to defend, if the Nets players miss the shot, the Clippers are quick to fight back, and the twin towers are also difficult to defend back, and the two sides played against each other in the first quarter, and the fans feasted their eyes.
In the positional battle, the Clippers were not very efficient offensively, trailing by two points at 32-34 to end the first quarter.
Curry was able to switch between playing with and without the ball with ease, and also made several successful mismatch breaks, and had the best performance, shooting 5-of-9 and 3-of-5 three-pointers, scoring 13 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.
Gay became the Clippers' second-leading scorer, and Jimmy Butler took over the offense after going to the main defense Curry, playing 12 minutes and scoring 10 points, four of which were from mid-range range.
The Nets are more in bloom, and Joe Johnson, the top scorer, has only 9 points, and the starting five have all scored.
In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Livingston, Danny Green, Parsons, Draymond Green, and Chandler to focus on offensive positional battles and strengthen the interior defense.
Playing fast in the first quarter was a twin-tower tactic against the Nets, and now Yang Rui asks Wesley Johnson, who is slow and fast, to continue to sit on the bench, and it is difficult to get a chance to perform in this Finals.
Veterans Nash and Brand also continue to guard the water cooler and won't be in appearance unless they enter garbage time.
The Nets fielded CJ Watson, Marcus Thornton, Kirilenko, Telitovic, Andre Blatche.
Stevens stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest and a serious expression. He is not afraid of the Clippers in the starting competition, but in the bench competition, he has no bottom in his heart, the Clippers' bench bandits are already very strong, and now there are two starters with him.
