Chapter 781 [Admirable, out of blue]

Paul and Chandler played a pick-and-roll in the middle, took a step to the right, slowed down and glanced at Chandler in the middle with the ball in his left hand.

At this time, Yao Ming turned his attention to Chandler, thinking that Paul was going to pass the ball again, and Delong should be able to catch up.However, Paul dribbled the ball with his left hand and accelerated sharply, passing Delong who was catching up to make an emergency stop.

This is by changing the rhythm. Paul often uses it. After Delong was passed, Yao Ming went to guard Chandler.

Paul made an easy layup and scored 2 points, his fifth point, 5 to 7.

The Nets attacked, Delong played a pick-and-roll, made a pull-up jumper, missed Green's side chase and interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Griffin.

In the opening game, Yang Rui's arrangement was aimed at the Nets' lineup. Brad Stevens arranged for Delong and Yao Ming to focus on pick-and-roll offenses. They played star tactics on the premise of ensuring defense. The opening effect was not good. The essential.

With all teams starting to shoot more 31.5s, the ability of a player to defend the [-]-point line well is increasingly important, especially for guards.Green is very good at dodging pick-and-rolls and sticking to the player he's guarding.As a result, players he guarded this year averaged [-] percent from three.Compared with the defense of other pitchers in the league, such as Korver of the Clippers, Redick of the Bucks, etc., this statistic is even more admirable.

The core of the Clippers is "positionless" basketball, constantly switching defenses on both ends of the floor, which confused James and the Cavaliers last season.Although Green can't guard the interior, he can guard both guard positions and small forwards.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the 13 and 14 Finals, Leonard's defense against James received a lot of praise, but Green's performance can be forgotten.Whenever Leonard is on the bench, Green takes over the task of guarding James.In the 13 Finals, Pop would sometimes put Leonard on Wade and instead let Green guard James.

For the first time in the finals, Deron wanted to perform too much and was a little nervous. Green is a player who has experience in finals. One trade off and the other grew.

The Clippers attacked. Paul still looked for a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt. This time, he didn't break through. After getting rid of Delong, he took the left and gave the ball to Green who was running on the left.

Griffin helped him block Butler, Green caught the ball and made a jumper, Favors switched quickly, interfered with the shot and missed the shot, and Yao Ming won the backcourt rebound.

The Clippers had Griffin rushing for offensive rebounds, and the other four quickly returned to defense to ensure a defensive formation.The Nets only had three players who were good at fast breaks and failed to organize an effective offense.

After the positional battle started, Joe Johnson singled out Shane and forcibly broke through the throw and scored. 7 to 5.

The Clippers attacked, Paul continued to play pick-and-rolls in positional warfare. There was no good shot opportunity. Several players shared the ball, and then asked Paul to reorganize. After 24 seconds, Griffin missed a jumper.

The Nets' defense is also excellent. The key player is Favors. He is very good at switching pick-and-rolls and is a perfect match with Yao Ming.

Favors has a very good talent, otherwise the 10-year draft will not be able to beat Cousins, Monroe and other insiders.He has a wingspan of 224cm, a standing reach of 280cm, a run-up bounce of 90cm, and a 3.25-second 3/4-game sprint speed, making it difficult for a defender to pass Favors with the ball.

Griffin's 3/4 sprint run took 3.25 seconds, and Favors was faster than some guards and was very agile.

And he has a good IQ, unlike McGee and Swift, who only rely on their bodies.In his previous life, he was unlucky to meet Sloan, a veteran coach who was good at tuning the inside line. In addition, in those years, the Jazz inside line main players were Jefferson and Millsap. After waiting for 2 years, Jefferson and Millsap were finally sent away. , and met his non-defensive partner Kanter.

Now, although Favors has not been selected for the All-Defensive Team, his ability is affirmed. He is determined to guard against pick-and-rolls, and he did not gain weight to guard the penalty area.

The Clippers' overall defense is better. Except for Griffin, the four have a good sense of defense. They can not only defend the penalty area, but also rotate in a timely manner.

The Clippers led 23-20 in the first quarter.

Paul scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. He didn't score many points. He kept the offensive organization in good order. Even if Yang Rui gave him unlimited shots, he would score the ball after attracting the defense. three.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent in the offensive lineup of Curry, Tony Allen, Guy, Parsons and Griffin.He replaced Griffin in advance and rested for 4 minutes, letting him take the bench, and Faried was not on.

This is also a targeted adjustment. The Nets backup center Blatche has the ability to attack, and Faried suffers from a loss in height and weight, and it is easy to be overwhelmed one-on-one.

Tony Allen is to deal with Joe Johnson, who is on the bench. He is a strong point on the Nets' court. He forms an outside line with Nash and Bogans and can fight back. The nickname of "Single Joe" is not for nothing. Yes, Korver, Gay, and Parsons are struggling with single defense.

Stevens will use Joe Johnson to play for 6 minutes and then rest, then Deron will come back after 6 minutes of rest, and form a double guard with Nash. It is the "killer" of the Nets, which can not only ensure the attacking firepower, but also the players' physical strength. recover.In the Eastern Conference finals, they eliminated the Cavaliers in this rotation.

In order to defend better, Yang Rui did not use Korver with three-point accuracy. In the finals, every ball must be fought. Korver is better on offense, but the balance of offense and defense cannot be achieved.

Yang Rui has been fully prepared and will not save the physical strength of the core players unless he leads a lot into garbage time.

Tony Allen, because of his poor offense, never averaged more than 30 minutes per game in the regular season in Yang Rui's previous life.

但在季后赛，他的场均出场时间要高过常规赛，巅峰的13-14赛季出场33分钟，砍下12.3分7.7篮板1.4助攻1.7抢断，投篮命中率48.6%。

Tony Allen's three-point difference is not useless on the offensive end. He is fast, can make fast breaks, and can hit the basket with the ball.During the regular season this year, he even knocked Westbrook down with streetball moves and was selected as the top five balls of the day.If he shoots right, he might be a star.

The backup lineup composed of Nash, Bogans, Joe Johnson, Lewis, and Blatche can be described as "luxury", but they were beaten by the Clippers 14 to 6, and the difference widened to 11 points.

The five Clippers are very active in defense. The offensive end mainly relies on two advantages of Curry and Griffin. Whether it is a one-on-one counter attack or a pick-and-roll attack, the Nets are not easy to defend.

Curry quickly scored 7 points and 2 assists, explaining what it means to be "green out of blue" with actions.

On Star Weekend, a reporter asked Curry: "Which point guard in history do you think will be your template when you reach your full potential and are at your peak?"

Curry replied: "Nash, he's always been a member of the 180 club, and it's hard to do that as a point guard because you have to get your teammates into the rhythm, you've got people in the open, and you have to choose between shooting and passing, Run the offense as efficiently as possible. I mostly copy Nash, I watch everyone play. I'm not going to be Mark Jackson, Payton, I'm not as fast as Tim Hardaway, but I can go from Watching and stealing, learning one-and-a-half moves. Nash, the way he shoots, the creative passing, the skillful use of his left and right hands, those qualities inspire me to play the way I am.”

Kerr told Yang Rui that when he was the general manager of the Suns, he was preparing to trade for Curry in the draft, and he also felt that the two had similarities.

It is a pity that the two point guards failed to compete at the peak. Nash is now far inferior to Curry, and he is old.
