The Clippers attacked, and as soon as Curry dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, Chandler pulled to the perimeter to block and dismantle.

There are always fans who always say that Curry and Paul are "system players", and they know that they rely on blocking and dismantling, in fact, everyone knows that players who can cooperate are easier to win. However, in some brainless mouths, cooperation means garbage, and stars have to be unique to get their approval. And to get their approval, that is...... There is no use for fart.

Paul has excellent prediction, and will also make up for the height disadvantage with small movements, with enough strength and quick shots, so he has been selected to the best defensive team many times. But Paul can't make up for the weakness of the anti-blocking and pick-and-roll, he can only chase the defender, let him misplace the big man, and can neither interfere with the shooting nor stop the air cut.

After joining the Mavericks, the center behind Paul is no longer the super-mobile Chandler, but the slow-moving meat shield center Gasol Jr., and the weakness appears.

Curry moved sideways to get rid of Paul, saw Gasol Jr. far away, and shot a one-meter jumper from beyond the three-point line on the left side.

Curry shot farther just now, but Gasol Jr. knows his weakness, how dare he defend beyond the three-point line? In that case, even if Curry doesn't shoot and doesn't break through, passing to Griffin is an opportunity, and the latter can rely on his physical advantage to beat Nowitzki to impact the basket, and the Mavericks still count on him to guard the restricted area.

Paul was a step slower to get around the cover and didn't have time to jump, and Curry was close to the open spot, without any pressure to hit another one. 9 to 4.

Barkley said: "Curry started with 3-of-4 three-pointers, and he's going to go crazy today. ”

Kenny Smith said: "You have to wrap up against Curry, and teams that don't contain him lose badly, and of course, he doesn't necessarily win, and the Clippers have other shooters and Griffin." ”

O'Neal nodded: "The Clippers are still the strongest team in the league this year, and if you want to win them, I think I will only have a chance when the outside players don't feel good." ”

The Mavericks attacked, Paul and Gasol Jr. blocked and dismantled and wanted to make a stop-and-go jump shot, the Clippers players changed their defenses too quickly, and the Mavericks lacked the ability to quickly cut inside, making them more daring to change defenses.

Paul is also not a vegetarian, pretending to pass the ball to the middle, glanced at Gasol Jr., changed direction with the ball past Griffin, and quickly scored in the basketball. 9 to 6.

The Clippers attacked, Chandler covered and turned into Nowitzki's pick-and-roll, Paul chased the defense, and the two sandwiched Curry and forced him to pass. Chandler has no range, and it doesn't matter if he has the ball in an open space on the perimeter.

Chandler's offense was poor, but he could still do a good job of moving the ball, Curry passed to the middle first, and Chandler immediately passed to Griffin, who ran to the right 70 degrees.

Griffin took a step inside the three-point line, Marion let go of the baseline Middleton to make up the defense, and Griffin passed the ball to the bottom right corner.

Gasol Jr. had no choice but to go out of the box to defend Middleton, and the Mavericks' mixed defense was an evolution of the joint defense, and the weakness was in the two bottom corners. Middleton didn't just shoot, he changed direction past Gasol Jr. and scored in a 45-degree pullout. 11 to 6.

CCTV5 Zhang Reasonably: "Middleton was promoted to start this year, and these dozen games have brought out confidence, he plays very smart, averages 10 points per game, and is a qualified role player." ”

Yu Jia said: "Star teammates attract defense, he often gets good shots, and in the summer people are talking about the Clippers swingman leaving Korver, Tony Allen, retiring Battier, the strength has declined, and now they look like they are too many swing people." ”

The Mavericks attacked, Paul blocked and forced Griffin again, relying on the rhythm change to pass the basket, attracting Chandler to make up for the defense and distribute the ball to Nowitzki.

Middleton let go of Marion's defense, and the awareness was good, and Nowitzki passed to Marion, who hit a shot from the open spot inside the three-point line. 11 to 8.

No matter how unscientific Marion's shooting action is, the shooting percentage is good, and after arriving at the Mavericks, he has fewer three-point shots, and his mid-range shooting is still very accurate, and the most outrageous thing is that Marion has a career free throw shooting rate of 81%, which is higher than LeBron James.

The Mavericks are very strong this year in the offense, the starting five are very selfless, and the ball is running very well. But the Mavericks' defense is not top-notch, and the Clippers are out of the box as soon as they play the block.

Griffin received the ball on the right side, singled out Gasol Jr., and hit a mid-range shot after probing. 13 to 8.

Carlisle reluctantly called a timeout, and the Clippers tactically restrained Gasol Jr., who struggled on the defensive end.

There are three types of center defense, one is the adduction type, that is, the basket protection. The necessary condition is that he is tall, long, strong, and can interfere with opponents in the box and nearby areas with high quality, Yao Ming, Gasol Jr., and Hibbert are this type.

The second type is the outward expansion type, that is, it is good at helping defense, preventing blocking and dismantling, and can force defenders on the periphery. The necessary conditions are fast speed, good awareness of co-defense, large defensive area, and can be used to supplement the defense and assist the outside line at any time. For example, Chandler, Jordan Jr., Howard. There are also internal lines that have both, but they are more or less biased.?

The third type that no one can defend, there are a lot of them in this kind of interior league, except for those who are particularly good at offense, most of them are marginal people.?

Gasol Jr. defends well near the penalty area, has excellent awareness, is very good at grabbing positions, can use his height and arm span to interfere with attackers near the penalty area, and can also interfere with the defenders who burst in, but the opponent does not break through to receive the ball and throw it directly, he has a big head.

The Mavericks' overall tactics are biased towards the restricted area, both of which are big insiders, Nowitzki is still 35 years old, and as long as the Clippers players ensure their shooting percentage on the perimeter, they will definitely lose.

Carlisle made a targeted change, replacing Gasol Jr. with Brandon White, a lanky insider. White is a tall, lanky interior lineman with an extra-long arm span, who moves fast and is good at pick-and-roll.

White is not bad offensively, playing little but efficiently, currently playing 19.3 minutes, can cut 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.9 blocks, shooting 67.7% from the field.

The Mavericks attacked, Paul singled out Curry, changed direction with consecutive crotch dribbles, and hit a shot in a quick stop. 13 to 10.

The Clippers attacked, Carlisle's substitution was immediately effective, White and Paul defended Curry together, he was difficult to get an easy shot, and it was not easy to break through, passing to Griffin to single out Nowitzki, who missed the interference with a low single, and Marion grabbed the rebound.

After Gasol Jr. left the court, Marion had to take on the responsibility of protecting the rebounding ball, he can play power forward, averaging double-doubles in rebounds per game for many seasons, and now at the age of 35, his quality is still excellent, playing an average of 30 minutes per game this season, and he can grab 7.8 rebounds, which is not inferior to his youth.

After two more rounds, Griffin fouled Paul on the breakaway and formed a dead ball. Yang Rui made a substitution, Chandler was rested, and Rudy Gay came on and made a cameo appearance in the No. 4 position to start playing small ball tactics.

Gasol Jr. rested, the Mavericks lost their heavy interior to attack the basket, and although Chandler's departure would make the Clippers' defense weaker, Yang Rui was more willing to fight with the opponent to attack. Griffin is not good at defending against Nowitzki, and in turn Novitsky is just as uncomfortable against Griffin.

The Clippers only need four men to pull away, and letting the star go head-to-head is an opportunity.

Nowitzki's defensive penalty area is not as reliable as Gasol Jr., as he gets older, the style of play is getting softer and softer, Griffin carries the offensive banner, Guy has no problem defending White, the two on the offensive end are like misalignment, and Guy can also play alone.

The Mavericks were no longer able to contain Curry, and the team's offense was struggling.

The Clippers' offense blossomed more, and the point difference gradually widened, leading 32-21 in the first quarter.

Curry quickly counterattacked near the end, hitting a three-pointer, shooting 6-of-10 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range in the quarter, scoring 16 points and 2 assists, outperforming Paul, who had 6 points and 4 assists.

PS: The score error in the previous chapter has been modified, and the driver is two points less, forgive me......
