Chapter 674 [Bad Father-in-law]
Tony Allen pestered Kobe Bryant closely, and the Clippers' defensive tactics were man-to-man.
Bryant and Odom played a pick-and-roll, and the person who switched the guard was Guy, who quickly blocked the breakthrough route. Kobe Bryant brought the ball to the right side of the back body, and Tony Allen did not cover it, and kept his distance from Kobe and Odom.
Tony Allen is very smart defensively, and if Kobe Bryant shoots a jump shot from the back, Guy is more fit to interfere with the shot than Tony Allen, and he can even block Kobe if he has a good jump timing.
If Kobe Bryant breaks through, Guy only needs to manage the bottom line, Kobe Bryant rushes to the middle, Tony Allen can block the route as soon as he retreats, close to or interfere with the shot, Kobe passes, he can also save and interfere with Odom's shot in the middle, even if it is only a slight interference, at least it will not make it easy for people to get an open shot.
Paul is an important addition to the Clippers on the offensive end, and Tony Allen is the most important person on the defensive end, without him, the Clippers would never have started so well.
In Yang Rui's previous life, after Tony Allen left the Celtics, the Green Army never reached the finals, and his first season with the Grizzlies squeezed Mayo to the bench, and when Gay was injured and missed the playoffs, he helped the Grizzlies create a Black Eight Miracle to eliminate the Spurs, and in the second round against the Thunder, the Grizzlies only lost 3-4.
In the most outrageous game of the playoffs, Durant was defended by Tony Allen and Battier on 3-of-14 shooting, 1-of-9 three-pointers, and 4-of-6 free throws, scoring only 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
Kobe Bryant couldn't break through the bottom line, leaned on Guy and turned to the middle, and Tony Allen retreated to form a trap. Kobe Bryant's posture was already set, and he couldn't pass the ball again on the jump, and his forced step-back jumper was deflected under interference.
Griffin jammed Love and Guy got the rebound.
In the Clippers positional battle, Paul took the ball to the frontcourt to observe the situation, Nash was responsible for marking him, and the other four were joint defense positions.
Paul gestured to his teammates, Griffin went to the left to give Korver off-ball cover, and Korver ran from the baseline to the line. He and Griffin attracted Rohrdden and Odom, and Paul passed the ball to Guy on the right.
Guy received the ball in one step within the 70-degree three-point line, Lefu was far away, Gay didn't make any feints when he received the ball, he pulled it up and threw it, Lefu came out to block it late, and the ball went into the net hollow.
4-0, Paul added an assist.
Barkley said: "Gay has become the X-factor for the Clippers, and I thought he would play well in one or two games, but now the singles are solid, and both he and Dunleavy can make cameos at the No. 4 position in small-ball play. ”
Kenny Smith said: "Gay is not a superstar because of his average passing ability, but his shooting this season reminds me of Carmelo Anthony, and the signing of him by the Clippers is a perfect signing. ”
In Yang Rui's previous life, Anthony was much more famous than Guy, but the shooting percentage of the two was almost the same in their careers, and they were also singles-based, not good at planning and passing, driving teammates, but Anthony shot more, so the score was slightly higher.
The Lakers attacked, Nash brought it to the front court and passed to Kobe, Kobe Bryant singled Tony Allen with the ball, dribbled under the crotch in the face frame, and changed to the right side to make a stop-and-go jump shot, Tony Allen judged accurately and did not lose his position, jumped up and interfered, and the ball was deflected again.
Playing most people, Kobe Bryant has a superstar performance, it is not so easy to play Tony Allen, and Clippers teammates don't have to wrap up.
Griffin judged accurately, grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and held it in his arms for Paul to answer.
The Clippers played a positional battle again, and Guy went out and replaced Odom with the main defense. Without the coach's reminder, the Lakers players can also see that Love can't guard Guy, this misalignment is too obvious to let the Clippers fight endlessly.
Paul immediately beckoned to Griffin, who blocked Nash in the middle and Paul broke through to the left.
Love was on the outside, and the lateral speed was not good, so Paul rushed past him with a change of direction and accelerated, and made a layup on the left side. Lefu was shaken out of a position, and the defense was quite aggressive, trying to follow on the side, but the last jump was half a beat slow. As soon as he jumped, Paul's pick-and-roll all hit the board and fell down, and he hit. 6 to 0.
Lefou, who plays center, has a good top defense and a commendable attitude, and the Clippers let him have no one to top, and the defense is not good.
The Lakers attacked, Nash didn't pass Kobe Bryant again, and Odom played a block outside the three-point line and broke through on the left side.
Guy changed the guard quickly, blocking in front of Nash, and Paul chased the defense quickly, forming a bag trap.
Nash distributed the ball to the middle, Odom received the ball and made a three-point jumper, and Guy showed the advantage of mobility, immediately pounced to defend his own people, and could also interfere slightly.
Odom made his first shot of the game, and although he shot 38.2% from three-point range, he didn't shoot much, averaging only 2.2 shots per game, and he usually shot in the open space, and Gay's defense had an effect, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Lovel pulled outside the three-point line and struggled to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, he was blocked by the equally strong Griffin, and Tony Allen stepped back to get the rebound.
Allen grabbed the rebound and passed it to Paul, who took two steps to the fast Guy, and there was a mismatch on the court, and Guy got the chance to single out Odom.
Odom retreated too far back, two metres away from Guy, and he couldn't stop shooting. Guy practiced fast attack in the team, this kind of ball did not hesitate, 80 degrees on the right side of the two without saying a word to pull up and shoot, he was very resolute, today he felt hot and hot, and hit! 9 to 0.
Gay had seven points and Paul had the second assist.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant was a little angry.
He feels that he is also a heads-up player, and Yang Rui's arrangement of Guy's main attack is a sarcasm for him, and he is ready to take the initiative to defend Guy in the next round, and let Odom defend against the easy-to-deal Tony Allen.
On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant also wanted to return the color, he reached out for the ball in the front court, and after receiving a pass from Nash, he dribbled a step on the right side, and stepped back 70 degrees to shoot three-pointers.
Although Kobe Bryant's three-point shooting rate is only 32%, he has never dared to shoot, throwing it at Tony Allen, dang, and popping out of the frame.
When Yang Rui was in the Lakers, he asked others to be resolute in shooting three-pointers, and Kobe Bryant tried his best to break through the offense, so as to ensure efficiency.
If Kobe Bryant had shot a few fewer three-pointers, the shooting percentage would have been much higher, and unless he "pumped", the three-point shooting rate would be unreliable. Kobe Bryant usually plays eight games, and can draw one game from outside the three-point line, but he can't draw ten times in the regular season. If it weren't for those 10 plays, he would have shot 25% from three-point range.
Kobe Bryant likes to shoot three-pointers, averaging 4.1 shots per game last season and improving to 5.2 shots this season.
Griffin grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Paul to organize, and the Clippers battled up.
Bryant asked his teammates to change formations on the court, giving up the joint defense and switching to man-to-man, and headed towards Guy.
He has the right to call the orders on the field, and since the joint defense can't be prevented, he should adjust in time, and Scott can't say anything after he gets off the field. At the moment with the Lakers, Scott is basically a puppet, and players rarely play according to his tactics all the time.
But how did Paul get Cole to do so? Seeing Kobe Bryant go to defend Guy, he didn't pass to Guy, and played with Griffin in the middle.
Nash wasn't fast in his pursuit, and after the man-to-man defense, Love had to switch to Paul.
This time, Lefu changed the defense in time, kept the distance and was not passed by Paul, Paul brought it to 45 degrees, and gently sent the ball to the middle with both hands, Griffin squeezed away Nash and jumped up after receiving the basketball, and it was too late for Lefu to turn around.
Griffin jumped two steps from the free throw line, glided to the basket, and scored with a long-range one-handed smash. 11 to 0.
Griffin opened and Paul provided the third assist.
Barkley laughed: "Jerry is a bad dad for Christmas today, and he will give the Lakers a not-so-friendly gift, and I bet they're going to be unlucky." ”
