NBA: I can see real-time shooting percentage

Chapter 135

"The Clippers took Qin Ming, Paul George, and Patterson."

"This is a shift."

"Yes, that lineup didn't work very well, and it lost too many points. The bench team that Rivers relied on didn't bring him an effect, but instead dug a hole for his starting players."

"Actually, I think it would be better for Qin Ming to bring a substitute player. He can take a substitute player. He has enough shots and can ensure that the entire team can play around him. As a core point guard with the ball to attack, this is his most comfortable and favorite way. Rivers is now adjusting the lineup. I believe they will do this in the next game. What's more, he can avoid the Rockets' starter very well and won't be targeted too much."

"Yes, it's a win-win for the Clippers with Qin Ming on the bench. Qin Ming has gained enough shots and ball control, and the Clippers have also been completely strengthened."

Qin Ming caught the ball in the backcourt and pushed it all the way to the frontcourt.

In this offense, Paul George decided to let him play, so he stood directly in the bottom corner, waiting for an open shot.

Qin Ming watched the opponent go to Covington, and continued to ask for a high pick-and-roll to hit Covington.

Zubac raised it up and set a screen for Qin Ming. Covington directly went up to interfere with Qin Ming. After Zubac made an air cut, the other Rockets players took turns to prevent Qin Ming from getting too good a chance to pass the ball.

After delaying Qin Ming's attack, Covington followed Zubac again, but this time the high pick-and-roll failed.

Qin Ming still had ten seconds to attack.

He decided to challenge Westbrook.

Qin Ming jumped forward and broke through to the right. The bad luck after the acceleration made Westbrook reach for the ball, but he failed.

Qin Ming broke through to the inside line. At this time, the three Rockets had shrunk to the basket, and he had no room to make a shot.

But Qin Ming is a good enough point guard, and he is also a good breakout player. Qin Ming directly threw the ball to the bottom line and fed it into Mann's mouth.

Mann missed an open three-pointer from the baseline.

Qin Ming also had no choice.

The opponent's bottom line three-pointer has a 30.00% hit rate, and it is normal to fail to make it.

The Clippers returned to defense, and the Rockets wanted to launch a wave of fast breaks. James Harden was the first to bear the brunt and ran at the front with the ball. He was facing Qin Ming and Patterson.

James Harden didn't hesitate, and went straight to the layup, which caused Patterson's foul.

James Harden made two free throws, and the Rockets further widened the score.

Qin Ming caught the ball in the backcourt and gave it to Paul George who asked for it.

The latter singled James Harden, Patterson came up to cover, Paul George dribbled a step and directly pulled Covington, Covington did not step forward to defend, but chose to squat to defend. Paul George's choice for this ball was extremely good.

His ability to find shots is one of the best in the league.

Paul George hit a three-pointer!

"Mann missed the corner there, and Paul George came back and shot one immediately."

"If Covington can't come out, then Paul George and Qin Ming will give you three-pointers again and again. It is better for the Rockets to continue to expand their defense in the first half."

"But Qin Ming's breakthrough is also very fast, not to mention that he can break through points. If people like Mann can shoot comfortably, D'Antoni will also have a headache."

D'Antoni stood on the sidelines, touched his chin, and shouted at Westbrook: "Expand!"

The latter nodded.

Rivers also stood on the sidelines and said: "Keep our offensive aggressiveness! Do a good job of defense!"

He guessed that the opponent might expand the defense in the next round to prevent the Clippers from making open three-pointers again and again.

The Rockets played a singles by Westbrook.

He was facing Mann.

This young man's defensive enthusiasm is very good, and his performance on the court is also remarkable. He can be regarded as the backup forward that the Clippers rely on after Leonard's rotation.

Westbrook missed a half-stop after an emergency stop.

But Covington got the offensive rebound and passed it directly to James Harden on the outside. The latter made an open three-pointer. It was too late for Paul George to step forward and the ball had already hit the basket.

"Protect our rebounds! Guys!"

Rivers yelled.

Qin Ming received the ball in the backcourt, and they decided to run a tactic for the ball.

After Paul George used the double screen from the bottom line, he pretended to make an air cut, but actually bounced back and evaded James Harden. The moment he stepped on the three-point line, Qin Ming's pass had already reached his hands.

The ball is very comfortable, and the texture of the basketball is all on the palm of the hand. This is also the pitcher's favorite catch.

Paul George continued to shoot three-pointers.

The ball still hits.

The starting lineups of the Clippers and Rockets are constantly seeing tricks.

Although D'Antoni emphasized the expansion of the defense, they had to shrink in the face of Paul George's air cut, and he found an open three-pointer.

D'Antoni clapped his hands and said, "Good defense!"

Westbrook organizes the offense.

Westbrook and James Harden each come out with a screen, and then James Harden singles again.

The Rockets' offensive tactics have always been very simple, and they belong to the simplest group of tactics.What they rely on is their will and ability to fight tough battles, and they have a series of players who can play singles.

Their player training also has a tendency to develop towards singles superstars.

James Harden, Westbrook, etc., are all very good singles stars.

The ball Westbrook received the ball, he faced Mann again.

Instead of shooting himself, he called for Covington's pick-and-roll. Mann was blocked by Covington and failed to grab the position. Zubac quickly defended him, but was passed by Westbrook.

Although Mann's defensive effect is good, he lacks a lot of defensive experience. Facing Covington's air cut, he can only follow the opponent and has completely lost his defensive position.

Westbrook tossed the ball lightly, and Covington took off with both feet and dunked the basketball into the basket.

At this time, there are 6 minutes left in the second quarter, and the Rockets lead by 12 points.

"If the game continues like this, it will be difficult for the Clippers tonight."

"Yes, facing the Rockets' offense, the Clippers are stretched. Although Mann is a good defensive player, he is only motivated and inexperienced. This ball made Covington cut in. He can't grab the ball. He can just retreat and defend. Patterson is still inside and can protect the frame."

Qin Ming held the ball in the backcourt, and he decided to continue to score for Paul George, who has a good touch.

But this time the Rockets' defensive tactics were implemented very clearly, and they expanded their defense line as soon as they came up.

Westbrook waited directly for Qin Ming to come over in the LOGO area, and other players also stuck to the players they were defending.

Because both Qin Ming and Paul George need space, and they don't have any good insiders, there is no one inside.
