Chapter 661 [Jump into the big pit and play the hole cards]
Yu Jia sighed: "Jerry Young is really unique in terms of player rotation, and no one can compare with him. Every time he joins a team, he turns the role players he cobbled together into bench bandits, which are too strong. ”
Zhang Reasonable said: "Curry hasn't scored yet, he is the sixth person handpicked by Yang Rui, and if the Big Three don't come back, the Cavaliers may not be able to withstand it." ”
The Cavaliers attacked, Douglas split the ball, and after the big Z block, he faced Curry on the right side and shot the ball in the middle of the net. 22 to 15.
Big Z can still help the team on the offensive end at present, all relying on jump shots, his strength can't attack in the low post, the speed is too slow after blocking and dismantling, and he can't cut inside in time, and he will definitely be caught up by the opponent.
This kind of misplaced bullying of the guard has advantages and disadvantages, once the shot misses and the opponent wins the backcourt rebound, the center may be immediately chased by the guard to fight back.
In the Clippers positional battle, Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, glanced at his teammates on the side in the middle, and suddenly pulled out three points from a distance of one meter outside the three-point line, and made a quick shot.
Douglas didn't react, just reached out and slightly interfered, and the ball made a perfect arc and hollowed into the net. 25 to 15.
Yang Rui stood up on the sidelines to applaud Curry, a goal he would most like to see. Curry has the ability to hit long-range three-pointers, one meter outside the three-point line is nothing, in Yang Rui's previous life, Curry began to throw in the midcourt for 14 years.
Some people say that Douglas's defensive ability is the best among point guards, but his ceiling is a backup two-way guard, and Curry is obviously not an opponent. Whether starter or bench, the Clippers' No. 1 position can crush the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers attack, and the players can only make a fuss on the perimeter, passing the ball back and forth.
Parker received the ball and dribbled into the three-point line, made a one-step pull-up jumper, and the opportunity came out, but unfortunately the ball was also deflected, and Masimmi won the rebound.
Masinmy rebounded the ball, or "picking up rebounds" is more appropriate, because the two veterans on the Cavaliers' bench simply couldn't rush to the frontcourt.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Douglas was close. Marcinmy ran to the outside of the three-point line to give Curry a pick-and-roll.
Curry took a sideways step, drew Howard defense, and passed the ball 50 degrees to the left.
Neil was on the right side, and Dunleavy saw that it was the big Z defending himself, running from the right side to the left, running with the big Z race. The big Z position is not far enough near the penalty area, and Adelman knows that the veterans can't run, so he hopes that the big Z will defend the basket and other players will rely on rotation to interfere with the shot.
The coach's idea is good, but the Cavaliers have just completed the rebuild, and there are no defensive strikers on the bench, and the players' awareness of defense is average, and they can't rotate.
Dunleavy received the ball more than two meters away from Big Z, no one interfered in front of him, and the jump shot hit steadily. 28 to 15.
Adelman was forced to call for a substitution, and Bosh returned to the field with a substitute to replace Big Z. The Cavaliers have added an offensive point with the ball and can also strengthen the defense.
Bosh blocked and dismantled in the middle, received a pass back from Douglas, a jumper in the middle, he couldn't grasp the touch just after he came on the court, the ball was deflected, and Masinmi won the rebound in the backcourt.
The Clippers attacked, Curry and Mashinmi blocked outside the three-point line, and the breakthrough on the left attracted Bosh to switch defenses, and Mashinmi cut empty.
In the training camp, Yang Rui often arranges confrontation matches, and Curry has been fighting against Paul.
Curry always watched Paul play blocking and dismantling, attracting interior defense and then splitting the ball, and he had a lesson. When he trained, he and his teammates inside had a headache with this move, and he knew that the opponent must have a headache too.
Marcinmy cut into the air, Bosh was directly dumbfounded, he was too close to Curry to return to the basket. Curry flanked him and the ball went down the middle, and Masimmi took a leap to catch the ball and slammed it in with his right hand. 30 to 15.
Ma Xinmi is also a terrifying spring man, in Yang Rui's previous life, he was a frequent player in the top five balls, and it was difficult for opponents to stop him when he rushed. Howard lacked the ability to make up for the defense, so he could only watch the excitement from the sidelines.
The home fans gave Masimmi a round of applause, and they didn't expect the Spurs to play so well on the fringe.
Barkley smiled: "The Cavaliers still have to make another substitution, replace James as soon as possible, if you continue to play like this, half time will go into garbage time, and the defense of the Cavaliers bench is too much worse than the main force." ”
Smith said: "Yang Rui left the Lakers without taking a single player, and he actually put together a new bench bandit, I think the Bucks will regret it for a long time." Curry is not a good fit to start alongside Ellis, and playing off the bench is a good option. ”
Barkley began to gloat again: "I don't know what people will say about the Cavaliers after the game, I think the comments on the Internet must be interesting. ”
Adelman pinched his waist on the sidelines, at a loss, and scolded his mother in his heart.
He received an offer from the Cavaliers and went through two interviews before being signed. At that time, he was very happy and thought it was a chance to win the championship and go down in history. Now he didn't think so, he suspected that the knight was a big hole, and he had jumped in.
Which bastards say the Cavaliers are invincible? Except for the Big Three and Valejo, it's clear that everyone else's personal abilities are very ordinary!
Adelman's biggest headache now is the team's defense, the starter is no problem, but as soon as he comes on the bench, it is bad, and the veterans who came to hold his legs in the summer all want to mix the championship next to the Big Three, and they are all going downhill.
A minute later, Adelman replaced James and asked him to play a cameo at the No. 4 position, and the Clippers played small-ball tactics against Dunleavy, and James had a clear advantage.
In the first round after entering the court, James broke through to score a layup and caused Dunleavy to foul and hit a free throw.
James is not there, the Cavaliers are two teams, and Yang Rui has to admit that this guy's personal ability is too strong.
Yang Rui did not give James a chance to continue to bully, and immediately adjusted, Griffin and Korver came on and replaced Dunleavy and Neil.
Yang Rui will not despise any opponent in the game, he will adjust in time to target the opponent's lineup.
KORVER'S DEFENSE BREAKTHROUGH IS POOR, BUT HE IS 201CM TALL, AND HE MUST DO A BETTER JOB OF INTERFERING WITH SHOTS IN THE JOINT DEFENSE THAN NEIL, AND GRIFFIN AND MASIMI RELY ON THEIR STRENGTH TO RESIST THE OPPONENT OUTSIDE THE RESTRICTED AREA, AND THEY WILL NOT LET PEOPLE EAT HARD. Tony Allen continued to play in order to strengthen the defense and limit Wade when he played.
At the 6-minute mark, Yang Rui replaced Curry and sent Paul instead of using a two-guard.
When the Cavaliers also played small-ball tactics, Curry didn't play well. When the team only needs a fixed-point shooter to play positional warfare, it is not appropriate to send Curry, and the defensive intensity will drop, so it is better to let him rest and wait for the Cavaliers to send two big men, and then play his off-ball running and shooting specialties.
In the second half, there was only Paul on the Clippers court, and there was not much weakness in interfering with the shot.
The pace of the game slowed down again, and James began to exert his power, shooting two three-pointers; Wade also had a good performance in the quarter, hitting one three-pointer and two mid-range shots.
When the two stars found their shots, the Clippers couldn't limit their offense, and the margin was quickly closed.
In the final minute, Paul hit a three-pointer to stabilize the situation, and then he broke through after blocking and assisted Guy to score a layup to open up again.
The Cavaliers' offense was too poor in the first six minutes, even if the star came later, James scored 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and the whole team only scored 25 points in a single quarter.
The Clippers ended the first half with a 44-38 lead.
When they returned to the locker room to rest, the faces of the Cavaliers' big three were a little ugly, and they all guessed that the media would probably not say anything good about them at halftime.
They also got a little impatient, because the Clippers were more powerful than they thought and they had played all their cards.
