On March 7, the NBA focused game in this round, the Clippers hosted the Mavericks.

Every battle between the two teams this year has been eye-catching, with the Los Angeles media dubbing it the "Revenge War", and the Clippers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Mavericks. Most experts and fans believe that if the Clippers eliminated the Mavericks to enter the Finals last season, they would have a good chance of winning the cup against the Cavaliers.

Yang Rui entered the locker room early and boosted morale and said: "Today's goal is not only to win, but also to win as big as possible, to convince the Mavericks and make them pay the price for stealing our championship last season." ”

"Okay." The players were excited when they heard it.

Although the Clippers have just rebuilt and the odds of winning the championship in their first season are slim to win, who wouldn't want to win the lottery? Ask the Clippers which team these players hate the most, and it must be the Mavericks.

Rick Carlisle puts more emphasis on the Clippers, getting the players to play 12 points and treat it like a playoff game, and beating the Clippers will make it possible for them to successfully defend their title.

A team that has already reached the top, who doesn't want to hold on to the win? They all know that the team is weakened, but they won't throw in easily.

Chinese fans are also paying attention to this game, and after the shutdown ended, Mavericks and Yi Jianlian signed a base salary contract.

Yi Jianlian's performance in the past two years has not been good, and the identity of a Chinese player can attract many fans, and the Mavericks are looking for him to sell jerseys and attract audiences.

This is not a good choice for Yi Jianlian, he has no chance to win the championship and is not reused, and the fans are happy for him. After joining, he was assigned to play for the Texas Legends, a development league team under the Mavericks, and then he was only a marginal man.

During Nowitzki's injury absence, Yi Jianlian also failed to take advantage of the opportunity to perform, and Brandon White played better, averaging 7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.

WHITE IS SLENDER AND LONG, 208CM TALL IN SHOES, WEIGHS ONLY 95 KG, HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 223CM, AND IS 276 CM TALL IN SITU.

Although he is a top spring person, because he is too thin, White's comprehensive quality is not stronger than Yi Jianlian. He scored on pick-and-rolls and air cuts, and rebounded poorly; Able to block but poor confrontation, prevent low losses.

Yi Jianlian weighs more, has a longer range, and can play two positions, but the competition is not because White has no characteristics.

Carlisle asked the power forward to block and go down on the offensive end, and pounce on the defensive end to switch guards, because there was already a slow-moving big man like Gasol Jr. on the team. Yi Jianlian can't do these two things well, compared to resisting, defending in the penalty area, and responding inside, he is far inferior to Gasol Jr.

Now that Nowitzki has returned, Yi Jianlian is unlikely to get out this season, and it will be difficult to stay in the NBA next year.

CCTV5 broadcast live, and chatted about Yi Jianlian's problems before the game began.

Yu Jia said: "The Clippers and Aaron Gray have only signed a one-year final salary, and I don't know if the UAE will have a chance to join the Clippers after this season." If you join the Clippers and play under Yang Rui, with Paul's partner, you may be able to become even better. ”

Zhang Li said: "In addition to Chandler, Gray's and Thomas's center positions are not very played, if the UAE joins as a substitute center, it can provide the team with outside firepower, I hope Yang Rui can consider it." ”

Yang Rui didn't think about it, and the management discussed with him that he wanted to introduce another inside line in the medium term. Two candidates, Yi Jianlian and Kenyon Martin, but he rejected both. There is no shortage of people in all positions of the Clippers, and the selection of someone at the No. 4 position will affect the development of Parsons and Farid.

Yi Jianlian has no potential to tap, and for the sake of the team's future, it is obviously more important to cultivate rookies. Even if the two don't play at the No. 4 position, there are still Guy and Battier who can play as a cameo power forward.

Clippers starters: Paul, Curry, Korver, Parsons, Griffin.

Mavericks starters: Delonte West, Kidd, Prince, Nowitzki, Gasol Jr.

Yang Rui adjusted the lineup, and the starting center Chandler rested.

Chandler and Griffin played together, and the Mavericks were able to use joint defense to limit, which didn't work well last time.

This time, he reused Parsons, who has height, can shoot, and can organize, not only to play counterattacks and Mavericks to fight speed, but also to open up space in positional battles; Griffin played a pick-and-roll with Paul in the middle, and he was better than Chandler in terms of speed and range.

Curry starts, Guy comes off the bench, it is for the Mavericks outside, the only one who is good at attacking with the ball, West let Paul focus on it, Curry only needs to deal with Kidd, who is not fast and of similar height.

Athleticism was still dominated by the Clippers, with Griffin jumping to beat Gasol Jr.

Paul took the ball to the right observation position, and the Mavericks were in the defensive system. West is in the middle, flanked by Kidd and Prince, and the bottom line is Nowitzki and Gasol Jr.

Griffin went to the middle to play a pick-and-roll with Paul, Curry and Korver pulled away on the left, and Parsons went to the bottom right corner.

This is the offensive routine that the Clippers have been practicing since last season, with three people pulling away, and blocking and dismantling in the middle is an opportunity. But last season, it was Jordan Jr. who blocked and dismantled in the middle, and Griffin and Guy were not allowed to open up three points on the side, and they needed to often cut to the inside, so the tactical power was not brought into play, and it was easy to become a star single.

Last season, the Clippers' starting lineup had offensive weaknesses, and the Mavericks were able to limit them with joint defense, sending Dunleavy and Curry, and the defensive weaknesses would be caught by the Mavericks. Now, that weakness doesn't exist.

Parsons' rookie season was better defensively than Dunleavy's, and although he didn't move too fast, he was brave and hardworking. He started in place of Chandler today and was the key to winning, and Yang Rui's tactics pointed directly at the Mavericks' weaknesses.

Paul burst down the right after the block, attracting Nowitzki to switch defenses.

The latter kept his distance near the horns, both to block Paul's breakthrough and to step forward in time to interfere with the jump shot with his height.

Griffin didn't have time to cut, standing in the middle, and as long as West chased the defender, Paul passed the ball to Griffin and could also shoot.

West faced Griffin in the middle of the station and played according to the routine of the joint defense, and after Paul attracted Nowitzki, he distributed the ball to Parsons in the bottom corner, and a simple pass created an opportunity.

"Warcraft" Howard is uncomfortable when he encounters a bottom corner three-point in the joint defense system, not to mention Gasol Jr., one of the slowest interior lines in the league? He was standing near the box and saw Parsons catch the ball and then pounce on it, but before he could jump, the ball was thrown to the basket.

Parsons was well prepared, ignoring minor distractions and making three-pointers hollow into the net. 3 to 0.

In the team, he mainly practiced three-point shooting in the middle and bottom corners, and the tactical effect was significant.

Parsons raised his right hand and ran back in a three-point gesture, and the Clippers' home fans responded with warm applause, and many female fans cheered loudly.

Yu Jia said: "The Clippers' popularity has risen again this year, not only because of the reason for playing, but also because of the image of the players, Parsons, as a second-round rookie, has a high popularity in Los Angeles, although not as good as Paul and Curry, but more popular than many veterans." ”

"He's the baby the Clippers have dug up this year, playing better than a lot of first-rounders, and he looks better than Dunleavy last season," Zhang said. Yang Rui will give him more than 15 minutes of playing time every game, and he is very optimistic about him. ”

It's a face-to-face world, often discussed on the official Clippers forums.

Some people say that Paul is one of the most handsome black players, and Curry, Parsons, and Korver are the best looks in the league.

Male fans may say that these few people are not enough, and then take other people as examples, such as the jade-faced flying dragon half-beast beauty Farid, who is obviously a rough man, but when he looks closer, he has a little charm, and he is fit, and he has the feeling of an Egyptian pharaoh, so he is called a handsome guy.

Then they exclaimed, "Holy, this is the Clipper's too......
