Chapter 123

"For the Clippers, what they have to do is very simple, that is, to constantly attack James Harden and Tyson Chandler. Since they chose to choose such an opponent in the playoffs, their tactics must also be related to these."

"Yeah, let's see how the Clippers choose this offense."

I saw James Harden, who was defending Paul George, was pulled out directly, and then Paul George received the ball and stood outside waiting.

At this time, Qin Ming and Lu Wei made a cross screen, and then pulled away towards the baseline when the defenders were not paying attention.

Paul George has an entire upper half offensive zone.

He dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row, and then directly crossed the ball and shot it. James Harden didn't react at all, so he could only raise his hand to barely interfere with him.

But the goal was still scored.

"Paul George, a cross-step shot after a crotch dribble. The space for this step is too large. James Harden can only raise his hand to try to interfere with Paul George's shooting vision, but the ball did not successfully defend Paul George's shot, so Paul George hit two points again."

"It's pleasing to the eye."

"Dove in the world."

Paul George returned to defense, this time it was his turn to mark James Harden.

The Clippers have a lot of defensive candidates for James Harden. Paul George, Leonard, and Mann are all prepared for him. Everyone will start marking the whole court as soon as James Harden gets the ball.

James Harden sluggishly passed halftime, organized the offense again, and chose to let Tyson Chandler come up for the pick-and-roll.

Because the real big man in this lineup of the Rockets is only Tyson Chandler, and his pick-and-roll effect is the best.

But after Tyson Chandler and Morris, although his perimeter defense is not particularly good, he is still considered a top-notch defense in the league.

Morris stretched out his hand and stared at James Harden's waist.

The latter used the dribble to force Morris back and prevented him from going too far, because Tyson Chandler made an air cut at this time. If James Harden also rushed in, then the Clippers' inside line would be a piece of fat to be slaughtered.

James Harden dribbled the ball on the outside, but the Clippers' defense was very strong. He couldn't find any good opportunities, and finally made a three-pointer with a step back.

Of course the ball missed.

"Actually, James Harden's game is not so smart."

"That's right, the ball was too impulsive. In fact, they don't have to play inside. It's good to pass the ball more."

After getting the defensive rebound, Leonard handed it over to Qin Ming immediately. The latter made a long pass to Paul George in the frontcourt. His fast break caused the Rockets to return to defense quickly.

This once again consumed the physical strength of Tyson Chandler and James Harden.

Paul George waited for his teammates to be in place and passed the ball to Qin Ming.

The latter held the ball, faced James Harden after using Leonard's pick-and-roll, accelerated in a straight line after the drag step and passed James Harden, and then used a throw near the free throw line.

Tyson Chandler still couldn't defend the ball and could only be thrown by Qin Ming.

"Qin Ming, this is a one-step pass over James Harden, a throw shot near the free throw line, and the basketball hits again!"

"Same as the last game, the Clippers' opening is still very hot, and it is really difficult for the Rockets to defend the Clippers in this state."

But James Harden is not a character to throw in the towel.

He came back this time, with the help of Tyson Chandler's pick-and-roll near the three-point line, he directly retreated and swayed to Morris, and then rushed towards the inside, causing a foul by Paul George and making two free throws.

Qin Ming returned a long-range three-pointer from outside.

Coming back again, James Harden faced the marker, and Hardaway performed a pick-and-roll, and directly retreated to pull Qin Ming.

Qin Ming tried his best to reach out, but the ball was still hit.

"James Harden, this is to carry the team's offensive master on his shoulders!"

"so amazing!"

And Qin Ming was hit once, and it was also when he organized his teammates to attack. A sudden point was given to Morris, who confronted Tyson Chandler in the air, and then scored, scoring a two plus one.

"Morris returned a two plus one!"

"When Qin Ming and Morris were on a pick-and-roll, the Rockets really didn't know how to defend. Tyson Chandler couldn't defend, could he? If he defended, Morris made an air cut and you couldn't do anything about it. If you let Qin Ming rush in, someone would follow the defense. If he didn't follow the defense, Morris would bounce out."

"Yes, this is a nirvana for the Rockets lineup."

James Harden dribbled back again, relying on his excellent dribbling rhythm, swayed Paul George a small position, and then he used his body to push Paul George into the penalty area, and then hit the rebound with a throw after the confrontation.

"But! My friends, this is James Harden! You can see him dribbling and breaking through slowly, without any threat, but he can break through. His movements for defenders and the use of his body have reached the pinnacle, slow, but slow and very rhythmic."

"Yes, James Harden's rapid breakthrough has been tried and tested."

At this time, Rivers first called a timeout.

This timeout is a regular rotation timeout. James Harden is also in excellent condition for his own contribution and scoring.

Rivers held the tactical board, sat with the players, and said: "We let him pick and roll too comfortably. When he is in such a comfortable space, our defense will be torn apart. I hope we are more active, not very weak. Although we have won a game, we can't take it lightly.

Qin Ming, you and Mann, Batum, Harrell, Zubac, the main offensive point of this lineup is you.I mainly talk about defense.Our interior height is high enough to allow James Harden to break through, but it cannot allow them to get good open shots. Our rotation must be done well, and communication must be timely. Batum, this is your responsibility. "

"Got it, coach."

"We can't let him break through to the inside too easily anymore. He can switch defenses even in pick-and-rolls, but he can't shoot, but can rush. Assist in defense and do a good job of rotation."

Qin Ming and other five players nodded in unison.

Paul George and Leonard can take a break now. When Qin Ming comes down to rest, it's time for their twin stars to play.

The Clippers have too many stars.
