Chapter 717 [Our common people are so happy today]

Chandler is also difficult to score under Howard's defense, but it doesn't matter, the Clippers don't need Chandler to attack, he can win without a point.

Yang Rui arranged for Chandler not to shoot outside the basket, and not to shoot if he can dunk. He averaged only 4.9 shots per game. If Chandler made 10 shots per game, the team's ball power would be difficult to divide.

Magic has to rely on Howard offense, he is the team's scoring, rebounding, blocked shots.

To make matters worse, the Magic lacked a playmaker, and after Turkoglu left, the team suffered a lot.Their passing now is to pass back and forth from the perimeter, and it is impossible to create space with such a simple pass.

In the games they won before, most of them relied on Howard to attack. After attracting a double team, he scored the ball and his teammates caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.Since Hollins became the coach, it has always been the configuration of Howard plus four pitchers. This style of play will definitely make it to the playoffs, but the upper limit is not high.

Nelson's state has declined dramatically, averaging only 12 points and 5.7 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field and 38% from three.

Batum is improving every year and is a very good role player, averaging 14 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He also relies mainly on jumpers, with average breakthroughs and cannot replace the peak Turkoglu.

In Yang Rui's view, Batum and Clippers substitute Parsons are of a high level. They can be the top three or four of the strong team and the top two or three of the weak team. You can't expect too much, otherwise you will only be disappointed.

Seeing that 24 seconds are up, Batum singled out Guy and failed to make a breakthrough and turned around and made a jumper.His posture is beautiful, but the ball is too wide, and the rebound is grabbed by Griffin.

The Magic players were blocked by turns hitting the iron today, and Griffin grabbed the rebound.

Paul slowly passed the half court, waited for his teammates to pull away, and once again singled out Nelson, took a step to the right with his hip dribble outside the three-point line, and gently probed his right shoulder, attracting Nelson to move laterally, and his right hand moved to the right. The left change direction breakthrough was successful.

Nelson was almost knocked to the ground, unable to interfere, Paul made a pull-up jumper from the free throw line and hollowed into the net. 12 to 2.

On the defensive end, even Nelson in his prime wasn't great.

On February 05, 2, the Magic challenged the 12ers away. In the face of Iverson's legs full of clockwork, Nelson almost let his opponent break through and shoot at will as in daily training.Teammates had to foul again and again near the restricted area to block Iverson's breakthrough.By the end of the game, everyone found Iverson scored 76 points.

Nelson is often tortured by speed guards such as Ty Lawson and Rondo, and he will be bullied by his height when facing Deron, Westbrook and others.The only thing he can deal with is a guard who has poor breakthrough and poor shooting, and that kind of person can be defended by anyone...

Today, Nelson is a defensive black hole, not Paul's opponent at all.

The Magic attacked, it took 20 seconds to pass back and forth. In the end, Richardson made a strong hit and pulled a jumper against Korver, but still missed. The Magic two rushed to grab the offensive rebound, but the Clippers had three people retreating and putting the penalty area. Blocked, Griffin also learned the experience, relying on the bouncing force to dial the ball out with one hand, Paul picked up the rebound.

Paul's high IQ is also reflected in his awareness of rebounding. In the 08-09 season, he averaged 5.5 rebounds per game.

For a small 183CM, this is unbelievable. That season, he rebounded more than the 06 No. [-] overall pick Bargnani, grabbed rebounds and made long passes to launch counterattacks.

Today, Paul will not be in a hurry to counterattack. The Clippers are not the strongest lineup in running and shooting. The Magic wants to speed up the rhythm. They can't open the situation in the positional battle, and they will become more and more impatient.

Paul and other players pulled away, singled out Nelson, dribbled the ball behind his hips and dribbled to the left to break through. Nelson pulled a foul, and Hollins requested a timeout.

After playing for more than 4 minutes, the Magic only scored 2 points. If it goes on like this, it will definitely be a disastrous defeat. Hollins has already remembered the game that lost to the Celtics.If there is another ultra-low score today, he will definitely lose his coaching position after the season, and the player's poor personal ability is not the reason.

There are many media questioning Hollins' coaching ability, saying that he relies on the inside, emphasizes defense, does not have many offensive strategies, and has not learned Yang Rui's offensive routines.

After the timeout, the Magic replaced Richardson and replaced JJ Redick with the most accurate three-pointer. He can break through and is good at shooting.

After two rounds, Yang Rui also made a substitution, and Curry replaced Korver in the game, adding an offensive point with the ball.Let Curry defend Richardson's body at a disadvantage, and defending Redick will not be a defensive weakness, and he is about the same size.

Chandler continued to attract Howard's defense in the low post. Griffin went to the side to screen Curry off the ball, helped him catch the ball and shoot, and cut himself at any time.

Anderson was not fast enough to completely let Griffin go to switch defenses. Redick was very active in chasing defenses, but he couldn't cover Curry.

Curry has a good hand, and he made 5 of 3 three-pointers, continuing to expand his lead. Redick's defensive disadvantages are undoubtedly obvious.

As a super shooter at Duke University, Redick has the advantages of accurate shooting, outstanding dribbling skills, high free throw shooting, good physical fitness, and tireless on the court.But his physical condition is not good. He is 193CM tall and has only a 191CM wingspan.

The poor wingspan made Redick a mess in terms of interfering shots and blocking shots. In the first five seasons of his career, he only had 8 blocks in total, even worse than Nash.

Coincidentally, Anderson is 208CM tall and has a wingspan of 204CM, which is 4CM shorter than his height, which is even more tragic.Short arms means it doesn't matter how high you jump, just watch someone shoot, and you won't be able to cover unless you jump first.

Curry does not shoot straight after catching the ball, but he can also dribble the ball to find space and pass it to Griffin who is empty, and singled out Anderson.

Today, Griffin's joy when facing Anderson's shot is beyond words. Every time he scores, he laughs like a Shiba Inu. ...?
In the first quarter, the Magic's offense was completely misfired. Howard made 2 of 0 shots and 4 of 2 free throws, scoring 2 points and 4 rebounds.Batum, Nelson and Anderson each scored 5 points.

The Clippers led 28 to 13 and their defense was amazing.

格里芬7投5中，得到10分7篮板1助攻，库里9分2助攻。

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Curry, Tony Allen, Shane Battier, Parsons, Aaron Gray, and Faried continued to sit on the bench.

In the shortened season, in order to ensure a good state, the team must use a rotation lineup. It is not suitable for Faried to play today.

The Magic's backup inside line is the fat "big baby" Glen Davis. Farid plays small ball tactics. He will definitely not be able to defend in the low post and will be hit by Davis to the basket.

With Gray, Davis has no choice but to catch the ball in the middle after the pick-and-roll.The Magic's backup point guard is Chris Duhon, who has average breakthrough ability and usually takes few shots. The main attack method is fixed-point shooting, and Gray's defense will not be too difficult.

The Clippers continued to defend the zone defense and maintained their defensive intensity, preventing the Magic players from playing fast breaks and falling into singles.

The score at halftime was 51 to 27, and the Magic scored only 14 points in a single quarter. The player's shooting rate was low, and the offensive and defensive rhythm was too slow.

Du Hong is one of those guards who can't get up too fast. If it sounds good, it means stability, but if it doesn't sound good, it means lifeless.

The Magic's defense is not bad. Howard is in the penalty area, and Griffin has to go around him. The Clippers mainly rely on outside shots to score.

The Clippers restricted area is also impregnable, Chandler's site, the Magic can't get in.

霍华德半场得到4分8篮板1盖帽，钱德勒2分4篮板1盖帽，两个内线几乎不出手。

The Clippers have obvious advantages. Paul and Curry blew up Nelson, Duhon and Redick.
