Chapter 783 [Terror, quiet]

Stevens shook his head on the sidelines. The Nets' current lineup is difficult to guard against Curry, and it is obviously inferior in lineup depth.

The Clippers are the regular season MVP with a substitute, and the Nets are really substitute players, can they not suffer?

Blatche, as an insider with 38+20 offensive efficiency in 10 minutes, was able to sign with the Nets with an annual salary of 100 million because of his poor defense and slow lateral movement speed, and it is a loophole when he goes out of the penalty area.

In the final analysis, Blatche entered the league too early. Like many high school players, he lacked concentration on the court. His passive defensive attitude and utilitarian thinking made Blatche interested in balls that cannot be directly converted into data. lack.

Defensive pick-and-roll is something that can't increase stats. In the first few years of entering the league, Blatche didn't bother to work hard in this area. By the time he wanted to practice hard, it was too late and he missed the golden period of improvement.

The Nets attacked, Nash and Blatche played pick-and-rolls, took the right to attract Chandler to switch defenses, and the ball was passed to the middle.Blatche feinted in the face of Curry and then made a mid-range shot, relying on his height advantage to shoot, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Chandler pulled the ball out from the inside, Gay picked up the basketball and immediately passed it to Curry to start a counterattack. Curry dribbled the ball at full speed and advanced to the frontcourt, one meter from the three-point line, and made a jumper against Nash. Three points.

He shot very fast, and Nash was famous for his floor flow. Although he tried his best to jump, he didn't cover it. The ball drew a wonderful arc and hit again. 83 to 67.

库里出战25分钟, 已砍下25分4助攻，三分球11投5中。

Stevens gritted his teeth and did not adjust. Nash and Blatche had only played for less than a minute. Deron and Yao Ming needed to rest, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee efficiency.

The rotation time of the Nets players is set after many games, and rash replacement will not make the Nets stronger, but will only get into more trouble.

The Nets attacked, Nash and Bleiqie played a pick-and-roll, attracted Chandler to defend, and then passed it to Favors. The latter received the ball from Parsons in a low position, forcibly turned around to the bottom line, jumped up, and dunked with one hand. Basketball in. 83 to 69.

When returning to defense, Stevens rushed to the players and shouted to let Bogans deal with Curry and Nash to guard Korver.

Bogans was never a star, he probably wore a different team's jersey every season, and fans were surprised that he stayed in the league for 11 seasons, so long.

As a poor perimeter player on offense, Bogans always has a job to do on defense, and he's a good defender who will go to great lengths to freeze opponents' arrows.With Bogans' tight marking, the high-intensity physical confrontation is enough to make many opponents lose their shooting rhythm.

It's a pity that it doesn't work to guard Curry like this, because teammates will cover Curry, and physical contact when Curry doesn't have the ball will not affect the feel.

Parsons received the ball in the middle, Curry moved to the left bottom corner first, and the defense was Bogans. If the Nets defended and Curry encountered a big man on the bottom line, he could pass the ball directly and play singles.

Curry moved to the line and Chandler screened.Bogans, who is 196cm tall and weighs 98kg, is very strong. He is 33 years old this year, and his speed is not very fast. He couldn't avoid the defense all at once.

Curry caught the ball at a 70-degree angle. Blatche switched the defense in place this time, but Curry didn't shoot. He feinted and changed to the middle to break through and hit the basket.

Bogans chased and blocked the breakthrough route. Curry threw the ball high while running. Chandler made an empty cut on the left and dunked the basketball with both hands. 85 to 69.

Barkley said: "The Nets have to double-team Curry, otherwise he always has a way to score or assist his teammates. He deserves MVP this season."

Smith said: "The problem is that the double team may lose faster. The Clippers seem to have no one to let go. Four people can shoot three-pointers. Chandler has excellent physical fitness and has a height advantage."

In Yang Rui's previous life, Curry encountered tight double-teaming in the three finals. What happened?
In 15, Curry averaged 26 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.8 steals, 44.2% shooting from the field and 44.6% three-point shooting. Although there were two special iron games due to unstable performance, Iguodala was elected FMVP, but Curry The data is eye-catching.

16年总决赛库里场均22.5分4.8篮板3.7助攻0.8抢断，投篮命中率40.3%，三分命中率40.5%，也不算差。

In 17, Curry averaged 26.8 points, 8 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game with a luxurious quasi-triple-double, with a shooting rate of 44%, a three-point shooting rate of 38.8%, a free throw rate of 89.7%, a true shooting rate of 61.9%, and still missed the FMVP award. .

In 2017, Curry's postseason plus-minus +267 ranks first in history.What is this concept?That is to say, the Warriors played a total of 2017 games in the 17 playoffs. As long as Curry was on the field, he could win the opponent by 15.7 points per game. In addition to his own scoring, Curry's unique black hole gravity made it easier for teammates to score. called terror.

Curry is no less powerful now than 15 years ago, and the defensive intensity faced in this series is much lower than that of the previous 15-year Finals.

The Nets attacked, only Nash could undertake the organizational task and break through with the ball, which attracted the Clippers' lineup to shrink and go out. Bogans missed an open three-pointer, and Parsons got the rebound.

In the Clippers positional battle, Curry received the ball again and made a breakthrough, attracting Favors to make up the defense.

88 to 69, Curry's sixth assist.

The Clippers blew the Nets out, and Stevens was forced to request a timeout.

When he came off the court, Curry smiled very happily, gave his teammates high fives one by one, and then took the towel and water handed by Thackeray. Sakishi showed a satisfied smile, and his stats in this game also improved.

Stevens did not adjust his tactics, but chose to make substitutions. Deron and Joe Johnson played, replacing Nash and Bogans, and Yao Ming continued to rest.

The purpose of this move is to strengthen the offense and fight against the Clippers. Stevens did not arrange to double-team Curry, otherwise it will definitely be empty, and the Clippers are too many people who are accurate shots.

Yang Rui did not make any substitutions and continued to play as a substitute. After 6 minutes, the Nets narrowed the difference to 12 points, Blatche took off and replaced Yao Ming.

Yang Rui replaced Chandler with Griffin, who had rested for a while. The other four were Gay, Danny Green, Paul, and Curry. All five were very fast.

This is relying on substitutions to lead the Nets to attack the inside line, and use a mutually competitive lineup to fight against the Nets. The Clippers resolutely speed up the transition between offense and defense. As long as the Nets miss a shot, they will immediately counterattack. If you can't make a shot at the basket, you can't quickly return to defense.

Yao Ming singled out Griffin in a low post. The Clippers did not arrange double teams and strictly guarded against three-pointers from the outside. The team's offense was mainly three-pointers.Stevens arranged for Yao Ming to pick and roll and wait for a chance to shoot a three-pointer on the outside. The plan was disrupted by Yang Rui again.

In the face of the Clippers' small-ball tactics, Deron's breakthrough was very difficult. Gay's cameo at No. 4 was extremely mobile, and it was easier to switch guards than to defend Favors alone.

Without Nash, the Nets have only one pitcher, Joe Johnson, and can't open up space.

With 2 minutes left, Yang Rui put on Chandler again to strengthen the defense. The Nets trailed by 16 points and the tide was over.When the Clippers attach great importance to defense, even if the opponent defends, they cannot score 16 points in such a short period of time.

Stevens sat quietly on the sidelines, feeling Popovich's mood.

When the Spurs were swept in the last round of the series, when they fell behind, Popovich, who likes to yell and take technical fouls on the sidelines, was very quiet, rarely called in timeouts, and watched the team go out.

Quiet, because he really couldn't think of a way to win, the situation was firmly in the hands of the opponent, and he felt desperate.
