Paul and Chandler played a block in the middle, took a step to the right, slowed down and glanced at Chandler with the ball in his left hand.

At this time, Yao Ming's attention shifted to Chandler, thinking that Paul was going to pass the ball again, and DeLong should be able to chase after him. However, Paul accelerated with the ball in his left hand and passed DeLong, who had caught up with the stop.

This is by changing the rhythm, Paul often uses it, DeLong is over, Yao Ming goes to defend Chandler, and it is too late to turn around and make up for the defender.

Paul scored two points on an easy layup, his fifth personal point, 7-3.

The Nets attacked, Delon played a block and dismantle, a one-step pull-up jumper, and was deflected under the interference of Green's side pursuit, and the rebound was grabbed by Griffin.

At the beginning, Yang Rui's arrangement was aimed at the Nets' lineup, Brad Stevens arranged for DeLong and Yao Ming to block and dismantle the offense, and play star tactics on the premise of ensuring defense, and the opening effect was not good, and Green was the key.

As all teams start to shoot more threes, it's becoming increasingly important for a player to be able to defend the three-point line, especially guards. Green is very good at dodging pick-and-rolls, which can stick to his defenders. As a result, players he has defended this year have shot an average of 31.5 percent from three-point range. Compare the defense of other pitchers in the league, such as the Clippers' Korver, the Bucks' Redick, etc., this statistic is even more admirable.

The core of the Clippers is "positionless" basketball, constantly switching defenses on both offensive and defensive ends, which confused James and the Cavaliers last season. Although Green can't defend the interior, he can defend the two guard positions and the small forward.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the Finals of '13 and '14, Leonard received a lot of praise for his defense of James, but what can be forgotten is Green's performance. Whenever Leonard sits on the bench, Green takes over the task of defending James. In the '13 Finals, Bobo sometimes put Leonard on Wade and instead let Green defend James.

The first time he played in the Finals, Delon wanted to perform too much and was a little nervous, while Green was a player with experience in the finals.

The Clippers attacked, and Paul still found a block first in the frontcourt, but this time he didn't break through, and after getting rid of Delon on the left side, he went to the left side and gave the ball to Green, who was running on the left side.

Griffin helped him block Butler, Green caught the ball and jumped, Favors switched defenses quickly, interfered with the shot and missed, and Yao Ming won the rebound.

The Clippers have Griffin rushing to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and the other four quickly return to the defense to ensure the defensive formation. The Nets had only three players who were good at playing fast offense and failed to organize an effective offense.

After the positional battle began, Joe Johnson singled out Battier and forced a breakthrough to throw the ball in. 7 to 5.

The Clippers attacked, Paul continued to play the positional battle to block and dismantle, there was no good opportunity, several players shared the ball, and then asked Paul to reorganize, almost ran out of 24 seconds, and Griffin's jump shot missed.

The Nets' defense is also excellent, and the key figure is Favors, who does a very good job of changing defenses and pick-and-rolls, and is a perfect match for Yao Ming.

Favors has a very good talent, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten Cousins and Monroe in 10 years. With a 224cm reach, 228cm standing touch, 90cm running and jumping, and 3.25 seconds 3/4 sprint speed, it is difficult for defenders to hold the ball past Favors.

Griffin took 3.25 seconds to run all three quarters of the time, and Favors was faster than some defenders.

And he has a good ball quotient, unlike McGee and Swift, who only rely on their bodies. In his previous life, he was unlucky to meet the retirement of Sloan, an old coach who was good at adjusting the interior line, and the main players of the Jazz interior in those years were Jefferson and Millsap, and after waiting for 2 years, he finally sent Jefferson and Millsap away, and met his partner Kanter, who was not defensive.

Now, although Favors has not been selected for the best defensive team, his ability has been affirmed, he is resolutely defensive and dismantled, did not gain weight to defend the restricted area, and was trained by the Jazz mentally handicapped coaching staff to become a "four dislike".

The Clippers' overall defense is more outstanding, except for Griffin, all four of them have a good sense of defense, not only can they defend the restricted area, but also rotate on the perimeter in a timely manner.

The Clippers led 23-20 in the first quarter.

Paul cut 7 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, didn't score much, and organized the offense in an orderly manner, even if Yang Rui gave him unlimited shots, he would share the ball after attracting the defense, and he didn't mess around, only shot 5 baskets and hit three.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent an offensive lineup of Curry, Tony Allen, Gay, Parsons, and Griffin. He replaced Griffin early and rested for 4 minutes, letting him bring in the bench, and Farid was not available.

This is also a targeted adjustment, the Nets substitute center Blatche has a strong offensive ability, and the height and weight of the upper Farid suffer, and it is easy to be beaten one-on-one.

Tony Allen is to deal with Joe Johnson with a substitute, is a strong point on the Nets court, he and Nash, Bogans form an outside line, can play counterattacks, positional offense "single Joe" nickname is not in vain, Korver, Gay, Parsons single defense is difficult.

Stevens will use Joe Johnson to play for 6 minutes and then rest, when Delon comes back with a 6-minute rest and forms a two-guard with Nash, which is the "killer feature" of the Nets, which can not only ensure offensive firepower, but also restore the player's physical strength. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they eliminated the Cavaliers in this rotation.

In order to better defend, Yang Rui did not use the three-point accurate Korver, every ball must be fought for in the finals, and Korver attacked better, but it could not achieve a balance between offense and defense.

Yang Rui is fully prepared and will not save the physical strength of the core players, unless he is much ahead and goes into garbage time.

Because of Tony Allen's poor offense, in Yang Rui's previous life, he never played more than 30 minutes per game in the regular season, and his highest 16-17 season started 66 games and only played 27 minutes.

But in the playoffs, he averaged more minutes per game than in the regular season, playing 33 minutes in the peak 13-14 season, chipped in 12.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.7 steals, shooting 48.6% from the field.

Tony Allen's three-point difference is not useless on the offensive end, he is fast, can play fast breaks, and can attack the basket with the ball. During this year's regular season, he even shook Westbrook with a streetball move and was selected as the top five ball of the day. If he shoots accurately, he might be a star.

The bench lineup composed of Nash, Bogans, Joe Johnson, Lewis, and Blatche can be described as "luxurious", but they were beaten by the Clippers 14-6, and the difference widened to 11 points.

The Clippers' five people are very active in defense, and the offensive end mainly relies on Curry and Griffin's two advantage points, whether it is a heads-up attack in the counterattack or a pick-and-roll offense, the Nets are not easy to defend.

Curry quickly scored 7 points and 2 assists, and explained what it means to be "blue" with his actions.

On the celebrity weekend, a reporter asked Curry: "When you reach your full potential and are at the top, which point guard in history will be your template?" ”

Curry replied, "Nash, he's always been a member of the 180 Club, and it's hard to do that as a point guard because you have to get your teammates into the rhythm, get them in the open space, choose between shooting and passing, and run the offense as efficiently as possible." I'm mostly imitating Nash, and I'm going to watch everybody's way of playing. I'm not going to be like Mark Jackson or Payton, and I'm not going to be as fast as Tim Hardaway, but I can steal from observation and learn a trick and a half. Nash, the way he shoots, the creativity of his passing, his right-handedness, those are the qualities that inspired me to play the way I am now. ”

Kerr told Yang Rui that when he was general manager of the Suns, he was ready to trade Curry in the draft, and he also felt that the two had similarities.

It's a pity that the two big point guards can't compete at the top, and Nash is now far inferior to Curry, and he is old.
