Chapter 815 [Big fist punches the chest]

The Spurs attacked. Parker broke through after the pick-and-roll and was double-teamed. He was assigned to Duncan in the middle. Draymond Green chased and defended in time. Duncan feinted with the ball and failed to shoot, relying on Draymond to find teammates.

Belinelli moved to catch the ball, couldn't get rid of Danny Green, and passed the ball to Parker who ran from the inside to find the next opportunity.Fast-running 24 seconds, Belinelli made a single pull-up jumper and missed under the interference of Danny Green.

The Clippers attacked, and there were no good chances to pass them a few times. Griffin stormed the basket and was interrupted by Duncan. Duncan took advantage of the situation to get the rebound, threw it to the front court when he landed, and launched a counterattack with a pass.

Leonard quickly singled out Middleton, brought in the three-point line and used the Eurostep to successfully dribble and score a layup. 8 to 6.

Leonard's numbers have improved this year, averaging 29 minutes per game, scoring 13 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.7 steals, shooting 52.2% from the field, and 38% from [-]-point range. He began to transform from a defensive blue-collar to a star. Not enough.

Leonard's advantage is that he has been improving. After joining the Spurs, he began to learn the strengths of his teammates. Parker's turnaround, Duncan's low footsteps and rebounding, Manu Ginobili's European steps, he can already afford this season. more tasks.

Most importantly, he learned Duncan's facial paralysis and aphasia, which must be reused by Popovich.This kind of facial paralysis is not the paralysis of the face, but the perseverance of the heart.

The Clippers attacked. Curry took it to the frontcourt and handed it over to Draymond to organize. He ran without the ball on his side, and got rid of Parker by covering. .

38岁的邓肯经验丰富，知道什么距离让对手难受，攻防两端都很出色，出场29.2分钟就能砍下15分9.7篮板3助攻2盖帽。他防挡拆好过斯普利特。

The Clippers have weaknesses in the starting lineup. Only Curry has a ball-handling offensive point on the outside. The others play without the ball, and it is difficult to score after being pegged.Curry can't make a breakthrough, and when his teammates have no space, he has few choices and can only give Griffin.

Griffin received the ball and hit Split with his back. He relied on twice to forcibly turn around and throw to the bottom line, which was far from the basket and missed under interference.

Split's defense is recognized as strong, with a brilliant record of defending Dirk Nowitzki, Aldridge, Randolph and others.However, he has not been able to practice his offensive range and can only be a defensive blue-collar worker. The Spurs' contract renewal with him also took into account his injury factors, and the salary is decreasing year by year.

Split gave Griffin a headache, but he was a little easier to face Duncan, because Duncan could no longer jump up, and defense mainly depended on position and wingspan.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan cooperated with Parker's pick-and-roll in the middle, Parker swooped on the left to attract Draymond's defense, the ball was divided into the middle, Duncan received the ball and squeezed away Middleton, took three steps to attract Griffin's defense, and the ball was light. Passed to the left bottom line.

Split jumped up and dunked the basketball with both hands. 8 to 8.

Gryffindor took a step outside and couldn't turn back to defend Split. Duncan's passing timing was just right, and Draymond was closer, but his height was limited. Once the big man started, he couldn't do anything about jumping up.

The Clippers attacked, Curry moved to the frontcourt and then gave it to Draymond, Split kept his distance, Draymond still played according to tactics, and gave it to Curry who was relying on screen moves.

This time, Curry feinted a shot and changed direction to smash Duncan. Parker chased and defended in place and formed a pinch attack with Duncan. Curry scored the ball to Griffin, who went to the basket on the right side, attracting Split to defend the right. Side corner Middleton.

There was a mistake in the pass this time. The Spurs were man-to-man rather than zone defense. Middleton did not get rid of the defense, but Draymond was empty in the middle.Leonard broke the basketball around the front, jumped out of the baseline because of inertia, turned around and passed the ball to Duncan in bounds with one hand.

Duncan caught the basketball with his long arm and immediately gave it to Parker.

Parker made a fast break by himself, singled out Curry, took a step to the left inside the three-point line and then pulled the ball, leaned on Curry to turn and pass to the right, and leaned sideways to pick the basket.Curry followed the jump and couldn't cover, and the ball fell into the basket. 8 to 10.

The Clippers' offense was a bit weak, and the Spurs were very targeted. They knew that the starting lineup was to rely on Curry and Griffin to tear apart the defense line. They were marked by the characteristics of the two, and there were always people in front of the pitcher. Interference.

After passing a few times, Draymond got an open space in the middle and missed the basket with a three-pointer. Split put him at a distance and made up for the basket at any time. He failed to seize the opportunity, and Duncan protected the rebound. , in his arms.

In the Spurs positional battle, Duncan and Parker played pick-and-roll again in the middle. After Parker attracted the inside line to switch defenses, he cut and received the ball. He didn't wait for Griffin to make up the defense, and he made a one-step drop from the front. 8 to 12.

Yang Rui took the lead in requesting a timeout. This is a rare situation. Usually Curry and Griffin have a way to score. Today, the Spurs defense is very good, while the Clippers' defense has some problems. The outside line is fine, and the inside line Griffin Insufficient frame protection.

This season, some fans said that Griffin defended against the Pelicans’ thick eyebrows Davis for three streets, and his defensive attitude exploded for two streets. Ke Thick eyebrows averaged 2.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game, and Griffin averaged 0.5 per game. Blocking shots or assisting defense, preventing opponents from shooting in the low post, jumping up and unable to cover the ball at all...

For this matter, Griffin is also very desperate. Every time someone hits a shot with his wingspan in front of him, he is angry and wants to punch people in the chest with a big punch.

Yang Rui directly replaced Griffin and replaced Chandler, and the opening small ball tactics failed.It can also support the inside line. The roles of Draymond and Griffin overlap somewhat, and the effect of playing together is not good.

Both of their three-pointers were unstable. Yang Rui replaced Griffin in order to give him an advantage in the second quarter, leaving Draymond, who was active in defense, more likely to attract Spurs inside singles, defense breakthroughs, and Draymond. do better.

Yang Rui did not make any substitutions on the outside. In the first quarter, he was ready to fight against the Spurs. On the offensive end, Curry was the only offensive core. He singled out Parker and attracted double-teamed points. Teammates must be resolute in their shots.

Gay continued to sit on the bench, also for defense.

Belinelli's defense is often criticized, but he not only shoots accurately on the offensive end, but also has good ball-handling skills and strong breakthrough ability. Yang Rui needs Danny Green to follow him closely, and Gay is good at interfering shots.

On the offensive end, Gay’s single-play role is not good either. Leonard’s single-defense is getting better and better. It’s better to consume Leonard’s physical strength for a while, and Gay will play again.

In terms of tactics, Clippers players have increased their movement without the ball and stopped waiting for opportunities on one side.Chandler and Draymond went to the flanks to screen for Danny Green and Middleton to help them get rid of the defense and catch the ball and shoot.Curry plays singles with the ball in the middle, and can combine sudden points and shots.

The game continued, and Curry made more shots, but the hit rate was average. Fortunately, the Clippers' defense in the penalty area improved, and the point difference did not widen.Chandler did a better job of defending Duncan, and Draymond was not as strong as Split, and could get stuck in position to protect the rebound.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, and the fast break could not be played, and the rhythm became a bit dull.

Griffin was a spectator on the sidelines, and he got angry, and he was replaced in advance without foul trouble, which was too shameful for the All-Star.His numbers are inferior to Curry, and it's already uncomfortable to fall behind in the MVP standings, and now that Draymond is a fringe player who has played more minutes than him, he feels a little ironic.

Griffin's mentality is changing. Like Yang Rui's previous life, he is gradually disliking his teammates.

23 to 26 in the first quarter, the Clippers trailed by 3 points.
