Paul organized outside the three-point line with the ball, waited for his teammates to pull away, and played a block with Chandler in the middle.

The Nets, as in the regular season, have a mixed defense, with Deron defending Paul and the other four defending together, Yao Ming on the baseline and retreating to the periphery of the restricted area at any time to attack the players who break through.

At this time, Griffin and Danny Green moved to the left perimeter, and Battier was 70 degrees on the right side, which was a test of outside rotation. The Clippers lost twice in the regular season, and Yao Mingfang was too easy to be passed by the guard, so the coaching staff could only arrange Yao Ming's main defense in the restricted area.

In this finals, Paul's goal is to become an FMVP, not to play soy sauce like last year, so he changed his style of play.

Paul got rid of DeLong, didn't think about finding a teammate to pass the ball, walked to the right side where Yao Ming was, and made a one-step pull-up jumper.

Yao Ming stood in the corner of the penalty area, two steps away from Paul, took a step and stretched out his hand to interfere slightly, Delong was a little slow to chase the defense, and failed to block, but unfortunately Paul didn't grasp the ball well, the ball bounced out of the frame, and Yao Ming won the rebound in the backcourt.

The ball didn't score, and Yang Rui also gave Paul a few applause on the sidelines, because he played according to tactics, and he didn't hesitate to shoot when he had the opportunity, trying to bring the rhythm up.

If Paul plays at the same pace and finds the wrong position, it will be difficult for him to bargain in front of DeLong and play luxury statistics.

Curry is not there, Battier veteran can't run, only rely on Green to run outside, it's difficult to be free, Paul protects the ball and looks for opportunities to pass to teammates, but it's just sticky ball, but it's not as simple as playing.

The Nets attacked, and the Clippers used a hybrid defense, with Paul defending Butler and the other four defending together, with Green in the middle.

DeLong is used to attacking in the middle, Paul's main defense is not good, and he suffers a loss, and if DeLong distributes the ball to the middle after blocking, Yao Ming uses his height advantage to jump, and Paul can't block it.

Fortunately, the Nets are not accurate in every position, and Butler's three-point shooting is not accurate, and he will not shoot unless it is an open position. Against Paul, he has a clear physical advantage, but generally does not receive passes from teammates, and is the last offensive option on the court.

Delon and Yao Ming played in the middle, Griffin changed the defense in time to block in front of him, Paul let go of Butler's bag, Delon gave the ball to Butler, who hesitated outside the three-point line and didn't shoot, and passed to Yao Ming in the middle.

Butler was a rough guy who lacked offensive skills when he first entered the league, and after two seasons of training, he is now a role player who can score, and he averaged 4 three-pointers per game in the playoffs, shooting 1.2 three-pointers and shooting 30% from the field. He made more shots in the playoffs than in the regular season, and he has a big heart that dares to shoot, but unfortunately he hasn't practiced it well.

Green is close to Yao Ming in the middle, and his height of 198CM can play a role in some interference, Yao Ming did not shoot after shaking, held it high, and passed it to Joe Johnson who was running, he failed to shake off Battier, and then divided the ball after taking a step.

Running out of 24 seconds, Delon picked up Griffin and hit Griffin, a pull-up jump shot missed, and Chandler won the rebound.

In order to ensure the speed of returning to defense, Yao Ming will not rush to grab the rebound ball in the front court, and directly return to defense. The Nets coaching staff sought stability in the first game, unless Chandler was not under the basket, Yao Ming had a great advantage, and would go to the low post to attack.

In this way, there is not much pressure on the Clippers to protect the rebounding ball in the backcourt, and it is difficult for Favors to grab the ball alone.

The Clippers attacked, Paul first blocked and dismantled in the middle, Yao Ming stood outside this time, so he couldn't shoot directly, and Paul passed the ball to Chandler.

Chandler took the ball in the middle and waited for Griffin to receive the ball on the left, Griffin held the ball and led it to the middle, attracting Joe Johnson to defend, and Chandler ran to the right side.

Paul stood on the right baseline for a moment and ran back to the line, relying on Chandler's off-ball cover to get rid of DeLong, Griffin passed the ball in time, and Paul received the ball and shot a three-point jumper.

This time DeLong was blocked solidly, Yao Ming didn't defend it, and Paul scored the ball easily. 3 to 0.

TNT Barkley smiled: "Paul started today with Curry's way of playing, it's very smart to play like this, Yao Ming hates defensive guards the most." ”

Kenny Smith said: "One of the highlights today is the matchup between Paul and Delon, before the two were in a matchup, Paul was at a disadvantage most of the time, even if he joined the Clippers, it would be difficult for him to take advantage of the data." This finals is the best stage for him to prove himself. ”

The Nets attacked, and Delon wanted to eat and sleep to play Paul, but he didn't have a chance, unless he went to Butler to cover, but Paul is a guard who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team several times, and deliberately looking for him to play that point will not be as easy as playing the guard of other teams.

Delong blocked and Yao Ming in the middle, this time Chandler did not change the defense, Green bypassed Yao Ming to catch up, and blocked Delong's breakthrough route from the inside.

Delon gave the ball to Yao Ming, and in the face of Chandler, who was much more athletic, Yao Ming was far away from the basket and couldn't shoot, and passed to Butler on the baseline.

The latter received the ball and relied on Paul to force a breakthrough and hit the basket, and Griffin and Chandler retreated to block the restricted area.

Butler's vision of passing the ball to the other side was blocked, and he couldn't give it to Favors, so he distributed the ball to Yao Ming in the middle, Yao Ming received the ball and shot a three-point shot, and Chandler didn't have time to go out to interfere.

Yao Ming was very well prepared for the first shot, and it was empty, he hit it steadily, and returned a three-pointer. 3 to 3.

In the era when small ball is prevalent and traditional centers are on the verge of extinction, a center of Yao Ming's height is no longer easy to mix, he has not been eliminated by relying on his shooting ability, and he can play a great tactical role on the offensive end.

Yang Rui sighed in his heart, he was not harmed by Van Gundy, Yao Ming's strength was much stronger, and he would not go to the low position to find a bag and fight back in the whole game. In his previous life, Yao Ming was recognized as a traditional center, and in this life he is the most unconventional three-point player in history.

The Clippers attacked, Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, Chandler covered him outside the three-point line, Delon actively pursued the defense, Paul passed the ball to the middle, Chandler also failed to cut the air, and the free throw line was divided to Griffin.

Many Chinese fans of Hedron's defense, in fact, his defense is at least a medium level, and it is not easy for the opposing defender to play or eat strongly, but the defensive speed point guard is almost positive.

Paul isn't fast right now, and he's shot less after the Hornets suffered a major knee injury, and he's been extremely efficient. In normal times, it is mainly organized and defended. This time, when he returned from injury in the regular season, fans felt that Paul's speed was much slower, and he didn't have the feeling of electric flint before.

Griffin dribbled the ball from the left to the middle, and in the same routine as before, Chandler went to the side to cover Paul and blocked DeLong.

Paul ran back to catch the ball, holding the ball with both hands and making a sharp stop.

Yao Ming was two steps away from the defense, Delong chased and jumped up to block and shook, but it played a role in interference, Paul couldn't shoot immediately, he broke through with the ball, took a step towards Yao Ming, shook his shoulders to the right, and passed the ball to the middle without looking at the hands of the people.

Griffin got the basketball in the air, and in the face of Joe Johnson forcing a layup, Favors couldn't retreat, and Griffin pressed the opponent to score the basketball.

5 to 3. Paul added an assist, and it seemed easy to score, and his breakthrough to attract Yao Ming to the outside was the key.

The Nets attacked, Delon dribbled to the frontcourt, and the pick-and-roll was chased by Green again.

Yao Ming stood outside the three-point line and did not cut into the air, and Delong was given space on the left side for singles. He continued to crossover, changed direction and was blocked by Green in the middle, leaned his back and turned to the left side for a jumper.

He moved smoothly, dazzling with dribbles and created space to shoot, but the final shot deflected off the basket with Green's interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Chandler and held in his arms.

Paul retreated to receive the ball and landed in the battle without hurry.
