Chandler will also struggle to score against Howard's defense, but that's okay, the Clippers don't need Chandler to attack, and he won't be able to score a single point.

Yang Rui's arrangement for Chandler is not to shoot except for the basket, don't shoot if you can dunk, and only average 4.9 shots per game, if Chandler takes 10 shots a game, the ball in the team will not be easy to score.

The Magic rely on Howard for offense, and he is the team's leading scorer, rebounder, and blocker.

To make matters worse, the Magic are still lacking playmakers, and the team has been having a headache since Turkeglu's departure. Their current passing is a back-and-forth from the perimeter, and such a simple path is unlikely to create a gap.

Most of the games they won before relied on Howard's strong attack, attracting the bag and then distributing the ball outside, and teammates catching the ball and shooting three-pointers. Since Hollins became the coach, it has always been Howard's configuration of four pitchers, and this style of play can definitely make the playoffs, but the ceiling is not high.

Nelson's form has declined dramatically, averaging only 12 points and 5.7 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field and 38% from three-point range.

Batum is improving every year and is a good role player, averaging 14 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.

In Yang Rui's view, Batum and the Clippers bench Parsons are players of a level, who can be the third or fourth leader of the strong team and the second or third leader of the weak team.

Seeing that the 24-second time was about to expire, Batum singled out Guy and failed to break through and turned around for a backward jumper. His posture was beautiful, but the ball was deflected off and the rebound was grabbed by Griffin.

The Magic players were taken turns playing iron today, and Griffin rebounded the ball.

Paul slowly led the halfcourt, waited for his teammates to pull away, and singled out Nelson again, dribbling under the crotch outside the three-point line to take a step to the right, and gently probing his right shoulder to attract Nelson to move horizontally, and his right hand changed sharply to the left side to break through.

Nelson was nearly shaken to the ground and couldn't interfere, and Paul made a pull-up jump shot from the free throw line and hollowed into the net. 12 to 2.

Defensively, even Nelson at his peak was not outstanding.

On 2/12/05, the Magic challenged the 76ers away, and in the face of Iverson's wind-up legs, Nelson almost let the opponent break through and shoot at will like his daily training. Teammates had to foul again and again near the box to block Iverson's breakaway. By the end of the game, it was clear that Iverson had scored 60 points.

Nelson is often tormented by speed guards like Tylawson and Rondo, and is bullied with height when facing DeLong, Westbrook and others. The only thing he can deal with is a guard who has poor breakthrough and poor shooting, and that kind of person can be guarded against by anyone......

Today, Nelson is a defensive black hole and is no match for Paul at all.

The Magic offense, it took 20 seconds to pass back and forth, and finally Richardson hit hard, facing Korver's dry jumper, still missed, the Magic two rushed to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, but the Clippers had three people retreat and blocked the restricted area, Griffin also learned experience, relying on the bouncing force to pull the ball out with one hand, and Paul picked up the rebound.

Paul's high ball IQ is also reflected in the awareness of grabbing rebounds, averaging 5.5 rebounds per game in the 08-09 season.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE FOR A SMALL MAN AT 183CM, WHO REBOUNDED MORE THAN '06 CHAMPION BARGNANI THAT SEASON, GRABBED REBOUNDS AND WAS ABLE TO LAUNCH COUNTERATTACKS WITH LONG PASSES.

Paul will not be in a hurry to fight back today, the Clippers are not the strongest lineup, the Magic want to speed up the tempo, and they will become more and more impatient if they can't open the situation in the positional battle.

Paul and other players pulled away, singled out Nelson, dribbled under the crotch and dribbled behind the back to break through to the left, Nelson pulled a foul, and Hollins asked for a timeout.

After playing more than 4 minutes, the Magic only scored 2 points, and if it goes on like this, it will definitely be a miserable defeat, and Hollins has already remembered the game that lost to the Celtics. If there is another ultra-low scoring game today, he will definitely not be in charge at the end of the season, and the player's poor personal ability is not a reason.

There are many media who question Hollins' coaching ability, saying that he relies on the inside, emphasizes defense, and does not have a lot of offensive strategies, and has not learned Yang Rui's offensive routines.

After the timeout, the Magic replaced Richardson with JJ Redick, who is the most accurate three-point player, who can break through and shoot well.

After two rounds, Yang Rui also made a substitution, and Curry came out to replace Korver, adding an offensive point with the ball. Let Curry defend Richardson physically, and Dedick will not become a defensive weakness, and he is about the same size.

Chandler continued to draw Howard to the low post, and Griffin went to the side to give Curry off-ball cover, helping him catch and shoot, and cut himself at any time.

Anderson was not fast and did not dare to completely let go of Griffin to change defenses, and Redick was very active in chasing defense, but he couldn't cover Curry.

Curry had a great touch and continued to extend his lead on 3-of-5 three-point shooting, while Redick's defensive weakness was evident.

As a super shooter at Duke University, Reddick has the advantages of accurate shooting, excellent dribbling skills, high free throw shooting percentage, good physical fitness, and tireless on the court. BUT HIS PHYSICAL CONDITION IS NOT GOOD, HIS HEIGHT IS 193CM, AND HIS ARM SPAN IS ONLY 191CM.

His poor reach has made Redick a mess when it comes to interfering shots and blocking, and in the first five seasons of his career, he only had eight blocks in total, which is not as good as Nash.

COINCIDENTALLY, ANDERSON IS 208CM TALL AND HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 204CM, WHICH IS 4CM SHORTER THAN HIS HEIGHT, WHICH IS MORE TRAGIC. Short arms mean it doesn't matter how high you jump, just watch people shoot, and you can't cover it unless you jump first.

Curry doesn't shoot straight after receiving the ball, but he can also dribble the ball to find an open pass to Griffin, who is empty, and singled out Anderson.

Today, Griffin's joy in the face of Anderson's shooting was overflowing, and every time he scored, he smiled like a Shiba Inu, and he almost wanted to sing: We people, we should be happy today, our people, ...... are really happy today?

In the first quarter, the Magic's offense was completely dumb, Howard shot 0 of 2, 2 of 4 free throws, scored 2 points and 4 rebounds, and Redick scored a team-high 5 points, shooting one of the three points. Batum, Nelson and Anderson each scored two points.

The Clippers led 28-13 and had an amazing defensive intensity.

Griffin finished with 10 points, seven rebounds and one assist on 5-of-7 shooting, and Curry had nine points and two assists.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Curry, Tony Allen, Battier, Parsons, and Aaron Gray, and Farid continued to sit on the bench.

With a shortened season, the team had to rotate the squad in order to maintain good form, and Farid was not the right player to play today.

The Magic bench inside is the fat "big baby" Glenn Davis, who uses Farid to play small-ball tactics, and he will definitely not be able to prevent it in the low post, and will be hit to the basket by Davis.

With Gray, Davis had no choice but to pick up and shoot in the middle after blocking and dismantling. The Magic backup point guard is Chris Duhon, who has average breakthrough ability, usually shoots very little, and the main offensive method is fixed-point shooting, and Gray will not have too much trouble switching defenses.

The Clippers continued to defend the joint defense, maintaining defensive intensity, so that the Magic players could not play the fast break and fell into singles.

The halftime score was 51-27, and the Magic only scored 14 points in a single quarter, with a low shooting percentage and a slow pace of offense and defense.

Du Hong belongs to the kind of defender who can't get up quickly, and if it sounds good, it is steady, and if it doesn't sound good, it is lifeless.

The Magic's defense is not bad, Howard is in the restricted area, Griffin has to walk around him, and the Clippers mainly rely on outside shots to score.

The Clippers restricted area is also impregnable, Chandler's turf, and the Magic can't get into.

Howard had 4 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block in the half, and Chandler had 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, and the two interior players barely took shots.

The Clippers have obvious advantages, and Paul and Curry have beaten Nelson, Duhon, and Redick.
