Chapter 715 [See how I cover your discus]

Howard jumped higher and the Magic took the lead.

Nelson took it to the frontcourt, looked for his teammates with his back to protect the basketball, and passed to Batum on the side.At the beginning of the game, he made a low-level error. Paul judged that the passing route was correct. With a quick hand, he knocked out the basketball, and took advantage of the trend to hold the ball and quickly go down.

Nelson chased and defended to keep up, Paul didn't make a sudden move, and guarded basketball and other teammates from the three-point line.After the four pulled apart, Paul and Chandler played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and it was Anderson who switched out.

Paul plays the same game every game, watching the opponent's position, and then passing the ball to the most suitable position.His basketball style is utilitarian, relying on intelligence to lead the team in a world of big men like a forest.

The Magic started with zone defense, and Howard defended on the bottom line.Paul took the right to get rid of. Nelson was about the same height as Paul, heavier, and he was a little fat man. Chandler made an empty cut.

Paul pulled the ball to an emergency stop and faltered to the middle at 45 degrees, attracting Howard to retreat to the penalty area, and without looking at anyone, he distributed the ball to the right bottom corner to Griffin.

Yang Rui asked Griffin to be in that position and take Howard out of the basket instead of challenging the league's best defensive player in the post.

With a simple transfer from Paul, his teammates got a good shot.

That's the point of Griffin's hard work on three-pointers. As long as he can shoot three-pointers, it's easy to break double teams.It's a pity that he is only able to shoot now, with an average head shot, and the open shot missed. Howard grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Magic attack, Yang Rui arranged man-to-man.He called a player meeting before the game and stressed that no one would help Chandler today.

Nelson and Anderson play pick-and-rolls in the middle, and Griffin has learned a lot about defense from Kurt Thomas and has improved this season.He maintains a good distance, which can not only interfere with shots, but also prevent breakthroughs. He can also traverse to the middle in time at the horn to prevent the opponent's empty cuts in the interior.

Paul chased the defense quickly, Nelson scored the ball to the middle, Anderson received the ball from the three-point line, Griffin immediately threw it out to interfere, Anderson feinted and missed the shot, and then looked for a teammate to protect the ball.

Griffin has the physical tools to be a good defender, and he's much faster than Anderson.

Anderson passed to Richardson, who was in contact, and Korver kept his distance. Richardson lobbed the ball to Howard in the low post on the right.

"Come on, hit me and see how I cover you!" Chandler spat out trash talk at Howard.

Howard was stunned for a moment. Chandler used to be very quiet. Today, is he going to change his character?

People will change with the environment, in the Hornets, Bobcats, Chandler will not take the initiative to challenge, because he can not see the hope of winning.I can't win and drag my ass, are you looking for abuse?

Now joining the Clippers, Chandler is overwhelmed. He firmly believes that he will be able to win the championship here, and he is full of energy in every game.

He felt that he was born to belong to the Clippers and to Los Angeles, and it was all because of the fact that Clippers manager Elgin Baylor was an idiot, and immediately traded him after he selected him second.

If the Clippers had kept Chandler and sent Olavokandi away, they would have been much stronger and would not have rotten every year.

Howard leaned against Chandler twice with his back. He was 210cm tall and 216cm tall. He couldn't get out of the way. He turned around forcibly in the middle and wanted to jump up and throw. Chandler raised one arm to interfere.

Howard was not sure after observing the distance, and divided the ball out again.Time was running out, Batum changed direction after receiving the ball, made a pull-up jumper, and missed under the strong interference of Guy. Howard rushed for offensive rebounds and made a wrong decision.

This season, Howard often hit double-20 data and averaged 3.8 offensive rebounds per game, but in the restricted area guarded by Chandler, rebounding is not so easy to grab.Chandler jumped up and pulled the ball out of the box with one hand, allowing Howard to save.Paul quickly picked up the basketball, immediately launched a fast break, and took two steps to Griffin who quickly got off the middle.

Griffin transported it to the free throw line, followed Anderson and forcibly took a big step to the left, turned around, jumped in one step, and scored a dunk with his right hand! 2 to 0.

Zhang Lili exclaimed: "Beautiful, the first goal is a dunk, Anderson's physical fitness is poor, and it must be difficult to defend Griffin alone. Howard can't go to grab a rebound and can't come back."

Yu Jia said: "Griffin staged a total of 214 dunks in his rookie season, which is too brutal. As long as he rushes up, the opponent can only watch."

The Magic attacked, Anderson and Nelson played a pick-and-roll, Nelson moved laterally to avoid Paul, and made a pull-up jumper from the left three-point line. Paul didn't catch up, but Griffin stepped forward to interfere and the ball bounced out of the box.

Anderson made an empty cut in the middle to grab offensive rebounds. He exploded this season, averaging 16 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, including 3.7 offensive rebounds.

Head coach Lionel Hollins' thinking is very similar to Yang Rui's. When the two cooperated with the Lakers, they liked to arrange for players to rush offensive rebounds and let the outside shoot as much as possible. As long as the big man is good at rebounding, the outside line No matter how much you strike, you still win.

Anderson's athletic ability is mediocre, but his offensive rebounding awareness is not bad. He judged the direction of the ball popping out and successfully won the offensive rebound. . 2 to 2.

Yang Rui shouted to Paul on the sidelines: "Tactic number two."

Paul understood, immediately gave a signal to his teammates, and changed his position on the field.

Griffin went to the left to give Korver an off-ball screen to help him get rid of Richardson, and Guy went to the right bottom corner.Yang Rui is worried that Griffin will not be able to make a three-pointer from the bottom corner, which will make the opponent's formation shrink even more.

Paul observed the situation on the left. After Korver ran, the Magic's defense was not chaotic, and Richardson could interfere nearby, so he didn't pass.

That's why a lot of people say Paul sticks to the ball. He can predict the success rate of the offense just by looking at it, and then dribble the ball to find better opportunities.

Batum is responsible for the 70-degree area on the right, switching defenses to keep distance, and preventing overshoots and not throwing.

Paul didn't try to break through, because there was Howard on the inside, and Chandler could be short outside the penalty area.After he determined the position of everyone, he stepped on the three-point line and passed it to Guy in the bottom corner on the right.

Paul created the opportunity with another simple, unpretentious pass.

Howard defended near the penalty area. After Griffin went to the left, the right side had become the weak side. Guy dislocated to Howard and made a three-point jumper.

Howard stood too close to the basket, two meters away, without even extending his hand.

In the joint defense system arranged by the coach, Howard meticulously implemented the tactical arrangement, and the task was to guard the penalty area.But if he is out of position, he will miss out. The biggest weakness of zone defense is the two bottom corners, and it is easy to form a small attack.

Gay's vacancy seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer. 5 to 2.

Yang Rui stood up on the sidelines to applaud Guy. His time with the Cavaliers was not wasted, and he practiced the corner three-pointer well. At that time, Mike Brown wanted to train him into a 3D role player.This season, Gay shot 36.1% from three-point range, which is considered qualified.

Magic attacked, the ball went through everyone's hands and failed to create space.

Howard singled Chandler on the left and couldn't squeeze to the basket. He turned around and was followed by mobility.Chandler wasn't much slower than him and was the best of the big men.He has a height of 216CM and a wingspan of 222CM, so he can interfere with shots without jumping.

Howard looked away from the basket, gave up the "discus throwing hook" and the ugly version of "rabbit jumping", and passed the ball again.

Richardson singled out Korver on the left, and then changed direction to the middle after feinting. Without completely swinging away, Korver made an emergency stop jumper. Korver successfully interfered and the ball missed.
