Chapter 662 [Jump into the big pit and play all the cards]

Yu Jia sighed: "Jerry Yang is really unique in terms of player rotation, and no one can compare to him. Every time he joins a team, he will turn the role players he has assembled into bench bandits. too strong."

Zhang Lili said: "Curry hasn't scored yet. He is the sixth man appointed by Yang Rui. If the Big Three don't come back, the Cavaliers may not be able to stand it."

The Cavaliers attacked, Douglas scored the ball, and after the big Z pick-and-roll, faced Curry on the right side of the ball and made a mid-range shot, hollowing into the net. 22 to 15.

Big Z can still help the team on the offensive end at the moment, all relying on jumpers, his strength can't be low to attack, his speed after pick and roll is too slow, and he can't cut to the inside in time, and he will definitely be caught up by opponents.

This kind of dislocation and bullying the defender has both advantages and disadvantages. Once the shot is missed, the opponent has won the rebound in the backcourt, and the center may immediately be chased by the defender and counterattack.

In the Clippers positional battle, Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, glanced at his side teammates in the middle, and suddenly pulled a three-pointer from one meter away from the three-point line, and shot quickly.

Douglas didn't react, he just reached out and interfered slightly, the ball drew a perfect arc and entered the net hollow. 25 to 15.

Yang Rui stood up on the sidelines to applaud Curry, the goal he most wanted to see.Curry has the ability to hit long-range three-pointers, and one meter beyond the three-point line is nothing. In Yang Rui's previous life, Curry has been able to throw in the midfield since 14 years.

Some people say that Douglas' defensive ability is the best among point guards, but his upper limit is a backup dual-energy guard, and Curry is obviously not an opponent.Whether starting or coming off the bench, the Clippers' No. 1 position can crush the Cavaliers.

Cavaliers attack, players can only make a fuss on the periphery, passing the ball back and forth.

Parker feinted the ball, changed direction and dribbled the ball into the three-point line, and made a pull-up jumper. The opportunity came out, but unfortunately the ball also missed, and Mahinmi won the rebound.

Mahinmi rebounded well, or "picking up rebounds" is more appropriate, because the two veterans of the Cavaliers' bench were simply incapable of rushing to grab offensive rebounds.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Douglas was close.Mahinmi went beyond the arc and gave Curry a pick-and-roll.

Curry crossed a step and caught the Howard defense, passing the ball 50 degrees to the left.

Neil was on the right, Dunleavy saw that Z was defending himself, he moved from the right to the left, and ran with the big Z.Big Z's position near the penalty area is not enough to defend outside. Adelman knows that the veterans can't run, so he hopes that Big Z can defend the basket and other players rely on rotation to interfere with shots.

The coach's idea is good, but the Cavaliers have just completed the reconstruction, and there are no defensive elites on the bench. The players have a general awareness of assisting defense and cannot be rotated.

Dunleavy received the ball more than two meters away from Da Z, and there was no interference in front of him, and he hit the jumper steadily. 28 to 15.

Adelman was forced to ask for substitutions, and Bosh returned to the court to take the bench and replace the big Z.The Cavaliers add a ball-handling point and can also strengthen the defense.

Bosh picked and rolled in the middle of the road, received a return pass from Douglas, and made a jumper in the middle. He failed to grasp the touch just after playing, the ball missed, and Mahinmi won the backcourt rebound.

The Clippers attacked. Curry and Mahinmi played a pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line. The breakthrough on the left attracted Bosh to switch defenses, and Mahinmi made an empty cut.

In the training camp, Yang Rui often arranged confrontation games, and Curry has always been opponents with Paul.

Curry always watched Paul play the pick-and-roll, attracting the inside defense and scoring the ball, and he had experience.When he was training and his inside teammates were very troubled by this move, he knew that his opponents must also have a headache.

Mahinmi emptied, and Bosh was dumbfounded. He was too close to Curry to get back to the basket.Curry passed the ball to the middle on his side, Mahinmi jumped up to catch the ball, and smashed the ball with his right hand. 30 to 15.

Mahinmi is also a terrifying spring man. In Yang Rui's previous life, he was a frequent visitor to the top five balls, and it was difficult for his opponent to stop him when he rushed.Howard lacks the ability to make up and defend, so he can only watch the fun.

The home fans gave Mahinmi a warm applause. They did not expect the Spurs, a marginal player, to play so well.

Barkley said with a smile: "The Cavaliers have to make another substitution. Just replace James as soon as possible. If this continues, it will enter garbage time at halftime. The Cavaliers' backup defense is far worse than the main force."

Smith said: "Yang Rui left the Lakers without taking a player, and even joined a brand new bench bandit. I think the Bucks will regret it for a long time. Curry is not suitable for starting with Ellis, and playing as a substitute is a good choice."

Barkley began to gloat again: "I don't know what people will say about the Cavaliers after the game. I think the online comments will be very interesting."

Adelman pinched his waist on the sidelines, unable to do anything, scolding mother in his heart.

He was invited by the Cavaliers, interviewed twice, and finally signed.He was very happy at the time and thought it was an opportunity to win the championship and make his name in history.Now he doesn't think so, he suspects that the Cavaliers are a big hole, and he has jumped in.

Who are the bastards who say that the Cavaliers lineup is invincible?Except for the Big Three and Varejao, everyone else's personal abilities are very ordinary!

Adelman's biggest headache now is the team's defense. There is no problem with the starting lineup.

One minute later, Adelman replaced James, let him play the 1th position, and the Clippers fight small ball tactics, against Dunleavy, James has a clear advantage.

In the first round after playing, James made a layup and made a foul on Dunleavy, and also hit a penalty.

With or without James, the Cavaliers are two teams. Yang Rui has to admit that this guy's personal ability is too strong.

Yang Rui did not give James the opportunity to continue to bully others, and immediately adjusted, Griffin and Korver played, replacing Dunleavy and Neil.

Yang Rui will not despise any opponent in the game, he will adjust in time to target the opponent's lineup.

Korver is poor in defense and breakthrough, but with a height of 201CM, he must be better at interfering shots in zone defense than Neil. Griffin and Mahinmi rely on their strength to resist their opponents outside the penalty area, and they will not let people eat them casually.Tony Allen continued to play, in order to strengthen the defense, when Wade played can be limited.

At 6 minutes, Yang Rui replaced Curry with Paul, and did not use a double guard.

When the Cavaliers also played small ball, Curry didn't do well.When the team only needs a spot-up shooter in a positional battle, it is not appropriate to use Curry, the defensive intensity will decrease, it is better to let him rest, and when the Cavaliers send two big men, play him off the ball and shoot. 's specialty.

In the second half, only Paul was a small man on the Clippers court, and his weakness in interfering shots was not great.

The pace of the game between the two sides slowed down again. James began to show his power and made two three-pointers; Wade also had a good performance in this quarter, making one three-pointer and two mid-range shots.

When the two stars found their crosshairs, the Clippers could not limit their offense, and the point difference was quickly chased.

In the last minute, Paul made a three-pointer to stabilize the situation, then he broke through after the pick-and-roll, assisted Gay to make an air-cut layup, and once again widened the point difference.

The Cavaliers' offense was poor in the first 6 minutes. Even if the star showed off later, James scored 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and the team only scored 25 points in a single quarter.

The Clippers ended the first half with a 44-38 lead.

When they returned to the locker room to rest, the faces of the big three Cavaliers were a little ugly. They all guessed that the media would not say anything good about them during the halftime.

They also got a little irritable because the Clippers were stronger than they thought, and they had all the cards in their hands.
