Chapter 742 [Coach, I want to play basketball]

At halftime, the Clippers led 67-41 by 26 points and almost sealed the victory.

格里芬出战19分钟，半场就砍下21分7篮板4助攻，最后5分钟还被换下休息。

Danny Green scored 9 points in a single quarter. His current strength is worthy of a mid-level contract. There will definitely be teams poaching at a premium in the summer.

Yang Rui was not worried about Greene leaving. In his impression, Greene was a man of gratitude and repayment, who didn't care about money, but more on friendship.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Green took a salary cut for 15 years and renewed his contract with the Spurs. Even if his condition was ups and downs and the three-pointer was not as accurate as before, he was worthy of the four-year, 4 million contract due to his defense.

Since the beginning of 15, all kinds of big contracts in the NBA have been flying all over the sky, especially those 3D defense experts are particularly sought-after, and they are a must-have weapon for every team.It is generally believed that Danny Green's contract level should be as high as that of Bucks Khris Middleton, Raptors DeMarre Carroll, and Mavericks Wesley Matthews, at least average Annual salary of more than 1500 million.

In terms of both defense and shooting, Green is definitely not inferior to these guys mentioned above.

When people are complaining about Green getting less money, he doesn't take it seriously. "People are saying my contract is low, but I think I'm getting what I'm worth."

Yang Rui never deliberately suppressed Green. He felt that if Green was not given enough playing time, he would be more likely to leave the Clippers in order to be in the top position.Now the Clippers are on the fringes of Gary Neal, who has a relatively single role and can only shoot three-pointers. The summer is set.

In the second half, the Cavaliers sped up their offensive and defensive rhythm, relying on the star's personal ability to score points.James and Wade went down quickly, and few people in the entire league could prevent them.

Yang Rui strengthened his defense, letting the energetic Tony Allen entangle Wade, Chandler on the inside to protect the frame, Guy and Griffin partnering the striker to ensure the speed of the defense, and Paul to organize the offense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, if Griffin and James were compared, James Metropolis said with disdain: "Griffin is a Dior? There is only one person chosen by God, and his name is LeBron James."

In the previous life, because Griffin had no honor, he never even made it to the Western Conference finals, so by 17, there were very few people discussing him, and he was about to become a role player.

In this life, neither of them has a championship. People can only compare their performance on the court and find that the gap is not that big.Both of them are the weight of the center, the speed of the guard, the mid-range and long-range shooting are not top-level, and they can pass the ball suddenly.

Of course, there is still a gap. Griffin lacks unique skills and is not good at scoring at critical moments; while James has unique skills at critical moments, he is good at assisting teammates and boosting teammates' confidence.

No one has ever said Griffin is a good defender, he's not good at helping, and he's a poor defender.But one-on-one defense, Griffin is not that bad, at least moderate, defensive motivation is high.James forced a breakthrough, Griffin can keep up with the speed, although it is difficult to block shots, but it can play a certain role in interference, and will not let James hit a super-standard shooting rate.

The Cavaliers are too far behind, and they must shoot three points if they want to chase the points. The Clippers side strategy is to strictly guard against three points and defend James alone.While James personally cut down beautiful data, he was in a hurry.

If there is a positional war, James will not have a good chance to get in, Chandler will make up the defense, and he will only score two points in the mid-range shot of Bosh.Wade was blocked, and it was difficult to catch the ball that was entangled by Tony Allen one-on-one.

Only relying on the star to play, without the support of three-point firepower, the Cavaliers could not chase the score.

The Clippers ensured the attacking firepower. Griffin went off the court for 5 minutes in the second half of the second quarter plus halftime. After a 20-minute break, his physical strength recovered a lot.Such a rotation method was decided by Yang Rui after discussing with assistant coach Kerr and Tyron Lu.

They not only studied the characteristics and tactics of Cavaliers players, but also considered Adelman's usual substitution time.

Bosh usually rests for a while in the first quarter, rests for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and is present at other times.Yang Rui tried his best to arrange the match between Griffin and Bosh, which could ensure efficiency and improve morale.

Even if Adelman replaces Bosh and sends Varejao, the Clippers will play small ball tactics, Chandler will rest, and the defensive end will be much easier. Varejao lacks the ability to hold the ball and attack.

This is not a conspiracy or conspiracy, but a symbol of the wisdom of the coaching staff. Griffin can also take a break when Bosh rests at the end. The total playing time will not exceed 40 minutes, and physical strength is not a problem.

The Cavaliers coaching staff seems to be underprepared. Adelman has no other way to fight for the stars, and there are too many singles.After three quarters, the Clippers led by 31 points, and the game entered garbage time.

Griffin scored 31 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. When he came off the court, he clapped his teammates one by one, laughing like Truman who finally left the studio in the movie "The Truman World": "I wish you good morning, Good afternoon, good evening."

Paul can't laugh a little bit. He currently only has 9 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists. The data cannot be compared with Griffin.Paul not only wants to win the championship, but also hopes to get the finals MVP, so that his personal honor will be complete.

Unfortunately, the Cavaliers attach too much importance to perimeter defense, and the defensive strategy is also limited to the point guard. It is very difficult for Paul to win the MVP.

In the distal quarter, the starters of the Cavaliers played for another 5 minutes and could not catch up with the score. In the second half, both sides sent substitutes to compete, and the first game became a one-sided massacre.

In the final 130 to 87, the Clippers scored 43 points, and six scored in double figures, not including Paul.

库里出战30分钟，15投8中，三分球9中4，罚球4中4，有24分5助攻进账，是快船表现第二好的，盖伊19分4篮板2助攻，14投8中，三分球2中1，罚球2中2。

詹姆斯砍下全场最高的32分11篮板7助攻1抢断2盖帽，是骑士唯一打出明星数据的人。下场时，他表情和豆腐金刚队的胖子前锋似得……

There is no reason.hallucinations!All that can't scare me are hallucinations, don't do this, I want to play basketball!

Adelman was also in pain. He went crazy in the fourth quarter and patted his head on the sidelines.

Barkley joked after seeing it: "Maybe the old coach wanted to express this: Do you bastards have any heads on defense?"

When the final whistle sounded, Adelman showed a confused expression.The old coach didn't understand why his team was destroyed so easily?Obviously, the three stars of the Cavaliers are more famous.

At the post-match press conference, the reporter asked about Paul's MVP.

Paul said against his will: "I don't care about personal data. As long as my teammates have a better chance, I am willing to pass the ball and help them score. Our goal is the same, which is to win the championship."

The reporter said that Griffin was the closest to the FMVP. He smiled and said: "It's only the first game. Of course, I hope to have such a good performance in the future. I'm very happy today, because we won a lot of points against the Cavaliers and won a lot. easy."

Yang Rui commented on the game: "Almost everyone is optimistic about the Clippers and believes that the Clippers will win the championship. Many people think that we have the strength to sweep the Cavaliers, and some people say that as long as I am here, we will definitely lead the team to win the championship. You Do you really think so? Let me tell you, it's all true."

People in the venue laughed.I thought that Yang Rui wanted to be humble and say that the enemy should not be underestimated, but the sentence "It's all true" came out, which was too exciting for the opponent.

Yang Rui has the capital to talk nonsense. This game clearly shows the gap between the two teams. The advantage of the Cavaliers is only James.

PS: Thank you very much for your rewards and monthly votes. As long as the waist plate does not repeat, I will definitely not break it again. I will try to finish the book on the premise of ensuring the quality. Thank you for your support!
