The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 274 Targeting Defense
In fact, of course, it wasn't that the face was really hit, but the ball just shot was blocked by Xue Ding again, but for Griffin, it felt like being slapped on the face.

Xue Ding picked up the ball and started to accelerate. Davis chased back quickly, but the speed couldn't keep up at all. When it was about to reach the free throw line, Xue Ding looked back and found that no one was following, so he changed the angle directly. Jumping up in one step, with a 45° angle, he played a slam dunk looking back at the moon.

After Xue Ding landed, he found that no one followed. Griffin seemed to be chasing the referee and kept saying something, looking a little angry.

When I got closer, it turned out that I was complaining that I had fouled just now.

Adele immediately pulled Xue Ding over, and other teammates came over and expressed the same idea, saying that Griffin must be very upset, and there is no need to provoke him at this time.

Xue Ding actually just wanted to hear the specific situation, and didn't think about provoking anyone, but what the brothers thought was that their team would definitely make it to the playoffs, but the Clippers definitely had no hope of making it to the playoffs this season. The game is over, if the two sides clash again, it will not be worthwhile to get a suspension or something.

Seeing that his teammates were thinking so far, and they were all for the team's sake. They were not measures based on fear of anything. Xue Ding didn't have any extra explanations. It would be nice to have less trouble.

In the end, the referee upheld the original verdict, thinking that it was a very good block. The scene just now was replayed on the central big screen, and the slow motion was very clear. Although there was physical contact, the block came first, and the physical contact The strength is not much less than Griffin's supplementary dunk of Adena.

Xue Ding knew very well in his heart that Griffin was being suppressed one after another, and Griffin's mentality was a little out of balance, otherwise he wouldn't be so fussy.

However, Xue Ding feels that these are not his main considerations. What he considers now is to continue to show momentum, lead the team to win this game, and lay a good ranking foundation for entering the playoffs.

With 7 minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter, the score was 52:50, and the Blazers took the lead for the first time.

The Clippers attacked. Davis broke through Batum's defense and successfully attracted the attention of all defenders. Facing the double-team inside, Davis jumped in the air and passed the false shot to Rathall Butler on the outside.

Butler was completely open. With a height of just over two meters, he didn't need to jump at all. He caught the ball and shot directly, hitting a three-pointer.

"Xue, this ball is mine"

"It's okay, just do a good job of defending next time."

Adelaide immediately said that the opponent just scored a three-pointer because of his own defensive problems. He originally wanted to make up for it according to the rotation, but when he saw Davis break through, he couldn't help but to make up for the defense.

Xue Ding understands this kind of inertial thinking very well. People who have been guarding the inside line for a long time, when they see a defender break through, their first thought must be to interfere and block shots, so they directly exposed the outsiders.

It takes some getting used to. Xue Ding felt that Ade would have no problem at all, so he directly encouraged him.

Xue Ding passed halftime with the ball, and the Clippers began to implement a 3-2 defensive strategy. It was originally a one-on-one defensive strategy just now, which was to let Xue Ding break through and limit his passing and three-pointers. It turned out that, Let Xue Ding fight too vigorously.

Originally, Griffin's two supplementary deductions were replaced by some teams, who were directly suppressed and surrendered psychologically long ago. As a result, Xue Ding forced a strong counterattack and responded vigorously. The momentum came back.

Therefore, the coach of the Clippers quickly adjusted his defensive strategy with great experience, and immediately suppressed Xue Ding from the outside in all directions, without giving a chance to break through, and not giving opportunities to shoot at will, and at the same time do a good job of blocking the passing route up.

Xue Ding saw that Griffin was the main defense, and he used his height advantage to put positive pressure on himself. If he was weak, Davis just looked at his defender in passing, but his body was facing him, and he was ready to come over at any time. Needless to say, on the right side, Butler also stared at him eagerly.

Faced with this targeted defense, the best choice is actually to pass the ball. Use the pass to assist teammates to tear apart the opponent's defense. Once Xue Ding made a breakthrough to attract the shrinkage of the three outsiders, Passed the ball directly to Adelaide, wanting Adelaide to play a dislocation.

After Alder received the ball, he leaned back and shot. However, he was interfered by Smith and hit the iron directly. Camby grabbed the rebound. Xue Ding turned around immediately and wanted to return. He found that Griffin was almost running to the free throw line.

As an experienced veteran, Camby obviously would not miss such an opportunity, and directly passed a long pass to Griffin. After receiving the ball, Griffin jumped high, and a windmill dunk shook the basket straight ring.

The fans at the scene went crazy again, Xue Ding didn't care at all, and after receiving the ball directly from the backcourt, he dribbled it to the frontcourt at high speed, but the Clippers also quickly returned to the defense.

The three continued to double-team, trying to put pressure on Xue Ding. After all, the defense had achieved results just now. Xue Ding observed the positions of his teammates while dribbling.

Camby and Chandler can be regarded as one team and one exchange. Both of them have a single offensive style, but they are both good bouncers and athletic defensive champions. Neither is convinced by the other. They have been fighting each other during the game. Therefore, Xue Ding is not considering this point.

Adelaide is the only dislocation point on the field, but the performance of the ball just now is obviously not suitable for the opponent's defense that is stuck in the lower plate. Batum and Ji Guannan continue to move in their own areas.

Xue Ding continuously dribbled the ball under the crotch, mobilizing Griffin's rhythm. Griffin followed, and used his thick arms to reach out from time to time, trying to disrupt Xue Ding's rhythm.

Xue Ding made a left change to attract Griffin's center of gravity, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a right turn to bypass Griffin's defense. Smith had already snatched it up and intercepted it. Xue Ding directly passed the ball to the open space Batum.

Batum shot directly after the rescue, and Griffin quickly rushed over from the side. I don't know if he was disturbed by this blow, or it was a long time since he didn't make a shot, and the feeling was too cold, so he hit the iron again.

Butler received the rebound. This time, Xue Ding saw the arc of the ball and judged that the ball had improved. At the same time, he quickly returned to the defense. As expected, Griffin was very sneaky. If Xue Ding hadn't realized it If it's good, this is another fast break from the opponent.
