In the final quarter, Yang Rui sent a full bench lineup, LaVine, James Jones, Covington, "Brother Alphabet" Antetokounmpo, and "White Edge" Whiteside.

The tactics are the same as the starters, Brother Alphabet is the organizer of the striker to pull out the periphery, the middle can attack with the ball, and he can respond to the pass to find teammates; The white side of the side gave LaVine no ball cover, helping him run to catch the ball and shoot, LaVine attracted the inside line to change the defense and did not have a chance to shoot, so he passed the side white side to cut the basket and attack the basket.

The white side rushes to the basket without thinking about passing, that is, shooting, can't shoot himself to grab the rebound in the front court, try his best to give full play to his physical advantages, it doesn't matter if he can't grab it, the four teammates will quickly return to the defense, and the joint defense will fall into position.

Jones and Covington had a relatively simple task, standing outside the three-point line to attract the defense and wait for the opportunity to shoot.

Jordan Farmar continues to sit on the cold bench and enter garbage time, Yang Rui wants to take this opportunity to train newcomers, and he doesn't want to give Farmar someone like him who will definitely leave the team in the summer.

The Hawks couldn't afford to send a bench, and Antich's defensive weaknesses in one position alone were not easy to compensate.

Antic has played well in Europe, helping Olympiacos win two European Basketball League titles, and he is still known for his defense, which led Hawks management to go into the trap of thinking that bringing in him would strengthen the team's defense and pull out the basket, just like Oku did back then.

It's a pity that Antich's heavy interior can be eaten in Europe because all teams like to play joint defense, and the interior speed is not fast enough. In the NBA, Antic is just an ordinary meat shield, and his defense is at the same level as "Towelman" Thackeray.

When it comes to off-ball cover on the side, Antich always switches defenses and is half a beat slower, and because of his slow lateral speed, LaVine has two more successful breakthroughs, and the more he plays, the more confident he becomes.

To make matters worse is Antic's offense, who averages 4.2 points and 2.9 rebounds on 32% shooting per game in the playoffs, and will definitely be out of work in the NBA at the end of the season.

Substitute power forward Mike Scott is only 203CM tall, has good mobility, and does a good job of defending Brother Alphabet from breaking through, but he can't prevent Brother Alphabet's pass, and on the offensive end, he can't score at all under Brother Alphabet's defense.

The Hawks relied on Schroder and Wiggins to score in a chaotic battle, and the margin continued to widen. Budenholzer did not change back the star, and if the star played well, he could only lose a little less, and he could not save face, and if he couldn't suppress the Clippers bench, it would be even more embarrassing.

Playing a final to this level is unlikely to attract fans, and seeing the end of the live TV ratings drop to a pitiful level, Adam Silva can only sigh and shake his head.

117-78, the Clippers won the first game by 39 points.

Judging from the situation in the first game, it will be Curry and Gasol who will compete for FMVP, Curry only played 30 minutes, got 21 points and 6 assists, and Gasol scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 26 minutes.

Six of the Clippers scored in double figures, while the others scored more evenly.

At the press conference, Yang Rui praised the players, especially Draymond Green, who had 11 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and he had completely forgotten about Griffin, who was too far away defensively.

'He's our best defensive player and he can play on the offensive end, so it's really nice to have him.

The reporter asked, "What do you think is the key to the Clippers' victory?" ”

"It's so normal for us to win."

In one game, the Clippers played with no morale, and the difference in strength between the two teams was even visible in the ball blindness.

In the second game of Los Angeles, Millsap and Teague increased their shots and couldn't score baskets, the Hawks players began to look for opportunities on the perimeter, and the Clippers responded with man-to-man defense, and the Hawks were always heads-up.

Teague shot resolutely and dared to take responsibility, but his shooting percentage was miserable, with 27 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 11-of-24 shooting, 1-of-6 three-pointers, and 4-of-4 free throws.

Millsap was even worse, finishing with 19 points, seven rebounds and three assists on 6-of-16 shooting, 0-of-3 three-pointers and 7-of-10 free throws.

Schroder, who came off the bench, couldn't find a sense either, shooting 2-of-10, 0-of-3 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring only 6 points and 4 assists.

Korver finished with nine points, five rebounds and three assists on 3-of-5 shooting, 2-of-4 three-pointers and 1-of-1 free throws. Yang Rui has coached Korver, knows his characteristics very well, and sends people to interfere and fight closely around Korver. Although he has a high hit rate, he can be considered a defense with a small number of shots.

The only person who played well for the Hawks was Horford, who shot 8-of-12, 0-of-1 from three-point range and 0-of-1 from the free-throw line, scoring only 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, which was not enough to lead the team to victory.

Curry was defended as a blacksmith, shooting 5-of-23, 2-of-15 from three-point range, and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, finishing with 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 6 turnovers. With a 21.7 percent shooting percentage and a 13.3 percent three-point shooting percentage, he's really sucking home.

With this kind of garbage performance of the star of the house, the Clippers still won. In order to prevent three-point shooting, the Hawks had a lot of gaps inside, and the backcourt rebounding was not well protected, and the total rebounds were 39-61 behind.

Gasol played 35 minutes, shooting 10-of-14 from the field and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line to finish with 24 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 5 rebounds.

Whiteside played 20 minutes, shooting 5-of-7 from the field and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 14 points and 10 rebounds, including five rebounds.

Draymond Green played 32 minutes and finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and four rebounds on 5-of-9 shooting.

The Clippers blew up the Hawks inside, winning 100-89 and leading 2-0 overall.

The media unanimously believes that the Clippers are going to win the championship again, and the Clippers are better than the Hawks inside and outside, and this game cannot be played.

Back in Atlanta, the Hawks were beaten in Game 3 and lost 91-112.

Curry's downside is that his play is inconsistent, and when he has a hot hand, his opponent can only kneel on the ground and sing conquest. He shot 10-of-17 from the field and 7-of-13 from three-point range to finish with 27 points, four rebounds and six assists.

Gasol continued to go strong, shooting 7-of-15, 2-of-5 from three-point range and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 18 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks.

The Hawks players faced the Clippers' tight defense, but no one played highlight, scoring averagely, and the shooting percentage was average.

Trailing 0-3, the Hawks can only fight with their backs at home. The gap between the two teams is so big that the league is too lazy to arrange a home whistle to help the Eagles win, because they don't have a star to praise.

In Silva's opinion, there are not many stars worth winning in the entire east, and he has to find a way to get some stars from the west to play in the east in the summer.

The interior was suppressed, the low-post offense was blocked, and the Hawks had to increase their three-point shooting, grinding their guns on the spot, not fast or light.

In the regular season, the Hawks averaged 26.2 three-point attempts per game, hitting 10 shots, a shooting rate of 38%, and the statistics entering the playoffs are not much different. The Eagles were able to make it to the finals, and they played sensibly, but now they have abandoned that.

The Hawks are cornered, and they are all dead, so it is better to simply bet on a three-point game, and by playing two points, they will not be able to break through the Clippers' defense.

As a result, the Hawks, who added outside no-ball coverage and catch-and-shoot three-point shots, scored less efficiently. The ability of Draymond, Antetokounmpo, Gay, Middleton, and Danny Green to interfere with the shooting made Budenhozer want to go crazy.

The Hawks shot 5-of-32 from three-point range, shooting 15.6 percent, and because they made too many three-point shots, they shot only 42.4 percent overall.

The Clippers players have no pressure, unhurried landing positions, combined with the success rate of inside and outside, and mainly attack the basket for the shortcomings of the Hawks' short interior and poor frame protection, and then shoot three points from the inside. They shot 51.2 percent overall from the field and 13 of 31 from three-point range for 41.9 percent.

120-88, the Clippers won away from home, swept the Hawks 4-0, and easily defended the title.
