Chapter 831 [Spurs' Gate of Life]

The CCTV5 live broadcast of the game, Zhang Lili said: "The Clippers took less than five seconds to attack twice. The transition from offense to defense is too fast. This kind of ball Curry really dares to shoot, really score!"

Yu Jia said: "The Spurs have to find someone to deal with Curry. He may find the feel is to maintain the whole game. No one can beat the Clippers when Curry is convulsing!"

The Spurs attacked, Fournier ran to the bottom line, and Curry chased after him and kept his distance.

Zone defense is not a static position. If there is no one in his area, Curry will not stand stupidly and wait for someone to attack. This is the improvement of the awareness of help defense.

Some players really only stand in position in the zone defense system and don’t care about others. It seems that if they don’t lose points in their own area, they are good defense. No matter how talented they are, they can only be role players, or they can be discarded directly. There are many players in the NBA. Such an example.

Parker ran the pick-and-roll to get rid of Green again and passed Griffin for a layup. 5 to 2.

In the Clippers positional battle, the players all pulled away, Griffin gave Green no-ball cover from the side, and Faried attracted defense at the bottom line, ready to cut and rebound at any time.

Curry didn't pass after halftime, and suddenly took a jumper in the middle and missed the basket under Parker's interference.

After the shot, the Clippers grabbed the rebound on Faried alone, and the other four quickly returned to defense.The Spurs are a two-tower tactic. If you want to make a fast break, you only need three people. When you encounter four people, you can only slow down.

Parker held the ball again and was blocked by Faried. The "Orcs" had better mobility and pushed directly beyond the three-point line, making Parker's speed not mentioned.

Duncan received the ball in the middle and faltered a bit, leaning on Green to break into the inside line, and squeezed three steps slowly to the basket, attracting Griffin to defend and pass inside to assist teammates.

Unfortunately, the No. 21 rookie was not fast enough, Faried quickly returned to his position and helped Green block Duncan.

Duncan's passing awareness is very good, and as soon as Faried retreats, he immediately thinks that Parker is empty.Parker's mid-range shot was not bad, not far from Duncan. He immediately hit the shot after receiving the ball, and Green's save could only interfere slightly. 5 to 4.

As long as there is interference, Yang Rui is satisfied. The Clippers' defensive rotation is very good. In particular, Green's defensive ability has been improving. It will be a matter of time to enter the best defensive team. As long as another Green is trained, the Clippers' defense will be improved. It's entirely possible to go up a level and be number one in the league.

The Clippers attacked, Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, and directly singled out Parker.He dribbled the ball with his crotch and took a step to the right, attracting Parker to traverse, dribbling the ball behind his right hand to his left hand, and stepping back for a three-pointer in the middle.

Parker took off with all his strength, tried his best to seal his eyes to no avail, and the ball was scored. 8 to 4.

Curry made two three-pointers in the opening game, and the fans applauded and shouted "MVP" together!
The Spurs attacked, and the attack was still initiated by Parker. This time, he passed Leonard on the side first, and the latter hung to Duncan, a low post on the right, forming a triangle with Fournier.

Duncan singled out Griffin, leaned on his back twice, found a position he liked, then turned around and made a jumper, using his height advantage to avoid the block, and hit cricket at 45 degrees. 8 to 6.

Duncan's move is nothing special. It's just swaying his shoulders and turning to the middle or the bottom line. But let alone Griffin, Jordan can't cover it. Whether he can get in or not depends on his touch.

The Clippers attacked, and in the same position as just now, the Clippers players pulled away again, allowing Curry to single against Parker with the ball.

Yu Jia smiled and said, "Curry goes one-on-one in a row. Could it be that today's tactic is to let him attack at will while others watch?"

Zhang Lili said: "Today Curry won the MVP trophy. Yang Rui may want him to perform well in this game and score high points to prove himself. Curry's one-on-one battle is a tactic, and many teams will double-team him on the outside. . Now there are pitchers on both sides, the perimeter players double-team him, and the ball is opened."

Curry started and took a step to the left. Parker wanted to keep up with the inevitable acceleration and took a step back.

Many people think that Curry is a super pitcher with mediocre skills. In fact, Curry's ball handling is also top-notch. He leaves a general impression because of his simple and crude style of play.

Curry made an emergency stop in one step, stepped back with his left foot and stepped out of the three-point line, and shot a 70-degree jumper on the left.At this time, Parker mainly focuses on preventing breakthroughs. He does not know that he will stop and retreat in the next step, so there is a space for shots and a time difference for shooting.

Parker didn't hesitate, and immediately jumped up to block, but Curry shot too fast, unless the guard was much taller than him, he could only interfere.In the NBA, it is not uncommon to have accurate three-pointers without a ball screen or catching the ball. There are a lot of people who shoot more than 40%, but the three-pointers are accurate and fast, or they create opportunities for three-pointers while holding the ball. Curry is number one in the league.

Parker's interference is ineffective, the ball draws a perfect arc and enters the net hollow. 11 to 6.

To say which position the Spurs have the weakest defense, there is no doubt that it is the No. 1 position. Parker's defense is average, and Mills' backup is even a defensive loophole. Curry's one-on-one tactic is a very suitable tactic.

12 years ago, Parker burst out that Curry didn't discuss it. Every time Curry encountered him, the data was not good.But since last season, things have changed, and Curry and Parker have the upper hand.One of them is improving, the other is declining.

Curry singled out Parker and challenged the twin towers more efficiently than others. The coaching staff arranged tactics in an arithmetical way.

As long as Curry guarantees a 33.3% three-point shooting rate against Parker, it is equivalent to 50% two-point shooting. In the regular season, it is difficult for Griffin to hit 50% in the Spurs.

This time, Popovich was restless on the sidelines and yelled at the players to switch defenses.

The Spurs coaching staff is prepared. If Curry finds a shooting feeling, Leonard will be replaced by one-on-one defense, but in this case, Parker will have to be forced to defend the swingman, and his height will suffer.

The Spurs attacked, Parker played a pick-and-roll with Duncan in the middle, forcibly broke into the basket to attract double-teamed points, Fournier faced Curry and interfered with a three-pointer, and the ball missed the basket.

Popovich frowned even tighter. Fournier is a good seedling with potential. He is willing to cultivate it, but his psychological quality is not tough enough. The shooting rate against people will decrease, even if this person will definitely not be able to cover him.

The rebound was grabbed by Griffin and immediately passed a long pass to Green. Green and Duncan were misaligned. He dribbled the ball to the right three-point line and made an emergency stop, and shot a three-pointer.

This was a smart choice. Duncan was very uncomfortable and was in a dilemma. He could only keep his distance. After Green took off, Duncan hurried forward to defend, and his long arm almost blocked the basketball, which seriously interfered with the ball bouncing out of the frame.

But this offense isn't over yet. The reason why Green cast resolutely is because he believes in the speed of his teammates.Faried than Split first rushed to the basket, jumped high to grab the offensive rebound, and made a tip-up with both hands at close range. 13 to 6.

The Spurs attacked, Parker made a pick-and-roll pass to the middle, Duncan faced Green, feinted and then led to the inside, and the Clippers formation contracted on three sides to form a closing situation.

If Split can make a mid-range shot, Duncan’s pass to the left baseline is an opportunity. Unfortunately, he can’t. The defenders are all under the basket. .

Parker caught the ball and made a mid-range shot, Green saved it and successfully interfered, and the ball missed the basket.

Faried judged the right direction of the ball, and the card position won the backcourt rebound. Once it was passed to Curry, the Clippers quickly got down.

Curry passed it to Griffin in the middle. Facing Duncan, Griffin lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough. He was about to go deep into the basket and get stronger. Duncan pulled a foul. the free throw line.

Griffin made one of two free throws, 14-6.

Popovich asked for a timeout, he knew he had to adjust, and the Clippers found the Spurs' goal right from the start.
