Chapter 760 [Bold substitutions, catch up with the score]

As expected by Clippers fans, Yang Rui started to use his trump card in the last quarter, one big and four small.

Chandler and Paul both rested. The five players on the field were Curry, Danny Green, Gay, Parsons and Griffin.

This lineup can not only fast break, but also fall into position, can hold the ball on the outside, has four stable three-pointers, and Griffin can attack in the low post.Yao Ming is off the court, and Griffin's defensive end will not be abused.

Nets sent Nash, Bogans, Joe Johnson, Reggie Evans, Blatche, the same is a balanced lineup.

Evans played to protect the rebound, allowing Blatche to focus more on the offensive end.This substitution was a mistake made by Stevens. Even though Evans was only 203cm tall and weighed 111kg, he played in a standard inside line, and his movement speed was not fast. His defense depended on fierce confrontation and small moves, and he liked to resist people near the penalty area.

Evans is in charge of rebounding against people, and Blatche has to go out to defend the pick-and-roll, but the latter is also a slower moving person who is better at center than power forward.It is precisely because of the disadvantage on the defensive end that Blatche is in an awkward position. Even if the attack is very strong, he only plays 18 minutes per game.

Parsons, who played at No. 4, broke out. He made a three-pointer from the middle, assisted Curry and made a three-pointer. dunks.

Only Joe Johnson scored 3 points for the Nets. After a 12-3 attack, the Clippers caught up with the score.

Stevens hurriedly replaced Evans and replaced Favors. The Nets' attack power improved, but they still couldn't defend.The Nets also have flaws in the interior, and their offensive power is good, but Favors is the only one who is good at preventing pick-and-rolls.

After 6 minutes, the Nets replaced Yao Ming and prepared for the last fight. As long as overtime was not played, Yao Ming played for 31 minutes, within the control range, and had physical strength.

The five Clippers are Chandler, Griffin, Shane Battier, Tony Allen and Paul.

Yang Rui's plan is to ensure the defensive intensity, play star tactics on the offensive end, and pick and roll Paul and Griffin one-on-one.

Stevens's idea is exactly the same as his, giving up the attacking formation of Deron and Nash with double guards, letting Deron be a single guard, Joe Johnson, Butler on the outside, Favors on the inside, and Yao Ming.

Under the premise of solid defense, the Nets waited for opportunities, and Delong and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll attack in the middle.

As a result, the Nets played a wave of 11 to 2, extending the score to 11 points.

Jiang is still old and hot, Yao Ming no longer cuts, and waits for opportunities to shoot in the middle outside the pick-and-roll, hits a three-pointer, and attracts double-teams to assist Butler to score.

A healthy Delong is an all-around warrior. Facing Paul, he hit a pull-up three-pointer. After the pick-and-roll, he took a big step and turned around to break through. He forced a layup and made Chandler's foul to complete 2+1.

The Clippers' offense was blocked. Paul and Griffin failed to score in consecutive singles. Only Chandler grabbed offensive rebounds and scored two points.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Yang Rui asked for a timeout, replaced Paul, Griffin, and Tony Allen, replaced Parsons, Curry, and Danny Green, and the tactics became an organization forward.

Taking the core on the bench at a critical moment will hurt Paul's self-esteem, but Yang Rui can't handle this at this time. There is still hope of winning by substitution. If he doesn't change today, he will lose.

Paul played very hard against the Nets defense, breaking the ball, only Shane Battier had a stable three-pointer on the field, and the other three had average shooting ability, and Griffin was targeted by Favors.

Yang Rui asked Paul to take more shots, misplaced Yao Ming, Favors or made an emergency stop jumper. As a result, Paul took one shot in the past 3 minutes and missed the basket.

In a game with high defensive intensity, it is extremely difficult for small players to find space for shots. This is really not something that can be shot with enough shots. Paul does not want to attack by himself, but is powerless.

Putting Curry at this time will make the Nets big man very uncomfortable, because Curry's shot position is far from the basket, and he often throws it one meter away from the three-point line. It's easy to get past Curry.

Looking at the Clippers' lineup, Zhang Lili sighed: "Yang Rui is so bold. He replaced both MVPs in the team. I don't think other than him, there will be no coaches in the world who dare to do this."

In the last 3 minutes, if Paul and Griffin didn’t play well on the court, it would be their responsibility to lose the game. But if the star is replaced and loses in the end, the fans of the star are likely to blame the head coach, so generally no NBA coach does this.

Yang Rui is not worried about not being able to hold down the players, he is the Clippers' biggest player.

The Clippers attacked, Curry slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Chandler pulled out to cover, Curry dribbled the ball and moved a step, attracting Favors to switch, and the ball was given to Parsons, who was 70 degrees on the right. There is a misalignment on the .

The Clippers no longer have an orthodox power forward. Parsons' ability to make three-pointers has been improving, and his shot is very firm. In Yang Rui's previous life, Parsons made 10 three-pointers in halftime against the Grizzlies. points, is the NBA record for the most three-pointers made in a half, and he hit 39.3% this season.

Yao Ming was near the penalty area, two steps away, and before he had time to take off to defend a three-pointer, Parsons threw the ball to the basket.

The Nets attacked, the Clippers mixed defense, Yao Ming and Delong played pick-and-rolls, Parsons switched defenses, and kept his distance to block the breakthrough route.Yao Mingkong cut to the right low to ask for the ball, and Chandler topped the defense.

Chandler only played for 20 minutes. He was very physically strong. He was able to withstand the interference shot against the tired Yao Ming. Yao Ming squeezed twice and turned to the middle and couldn't get rid of it. He was too far from the basket and passed to Fei. Voss, Parsons caught up with his own men, interfering in front of him.

After a few passes, 24 seconds were used up, Delong made a strong three-pointer, missed by Curry's interference, and Chandler grabbed the rebound.

The Nets returned quickly to defense, and Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, exactly the same as the previous routine, and passed it to 70-degree Parsons.This time, Favors defended more from the outside. Parsons dribbled the ball to the middle, opened the space frame outside the three-point line, and could break through and pass the ball.

Curry stopped at the bottom corner on the left, ran back to the upper line, and Chandler blocked Deron.

Parsons passed the ball, Yao Ming could only defend it, Curry feinted a bit, changed direction and made a breakthrough. He easily passed Yao Ming with his speed, and no one made up the defense. Curry made three easy steps to score a layup. 104 to 110.

If other people had this opportunity, they would definitely dunk. Curry chose a more secure way. He was afraid of being blocked by the basket.

When the Nets attacked, Delong held the ball to delay time outside the three-point line. His style of play was unpretentious, and he thought about how to play this round after half court.In the last 6 seconds, he started a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, and after attracting Parsons to switch, he distributed the ball to the middle. Yao Ming received the ball and made a three-pointer against Curry.

Curry didn't jump, and it was useless to jump. This kind of ball can only be prayed for not to enter. The most powerful thing for a big man to pull out and shoot is his strong anti-interference ability. Yao Ming has scored three three-pointers today, and his luck has run out. With a little more strength, the ball bounced out of the box.

Gay grabbed the rebound and landed to find Curry, who was about to get off, misplaced.

Curry moved to the right, and after catching the ball, he suddenly grabbed a three-pointer one step away from the three-point line.Yao Ming retreated at full speed, the distance was far away, and then he saved to prevent the three-pointer, and Delong jumped in front of Curry in pursuit of the block. It was scary, but the ball was actually thrown.

No one grabbed the rebound. Curry still shot confidently. As long as he had a chance to shoot, he dared to throw it. Yang Rui allowed him to do so.This is the biggest difference between him and Paul, the shot selection looks much worse, but even so, he is more accurate than Paul.

The ball hollowed into the net, 107 to 110, with 1 minute and 44 seconds left, and the Clippers caught up!
