Chapter 319 Bench Crisis
The Clippers scored 44 points in the second quarter, which is already the highest score in the second quarter of the finals in history. The Heat's unlimited defenses were completely broken up by the Clippers' pervasive offense. The Clippers' passing goals Extremely strong, but it is not easy to be guarded, which makes the Heat a headache.

The atmosphere in the Heat's locker room seemed a bit dignified. They thought that without Blake Griffin, they could easily win this game, but the reality gave them a hard blow. A slap in the face, when the Clippers did not have Blake Griffin, their offense played even better.

With a score of 68:71, the Clippers trailed by three points and did not stop the carnival that was still going on at the Staples Center. They were still celebrating wildly that their team had broken the record and were slowly recovering the score , In their view, this three-point advantage will be returned by their own team with a sharp offense sooner or later.

The difference in this game is not only limited to the scene of the game, but also in front of the Internet and TV, many fans have been impressed by the excitement of this game, and the ratings have reached the highest point in history.

In the past finals, everyone played cautiously and turned a good finals into a defensive battle. For fans of the two teams, they might like this kind of game, but for many neutral fans, Such a final would seem too boring.

But today is different. Their favorite fast break, their favorite ball transfer, their favorite alley-oop dunk, and their favorite performance of individual ability can all be seen in this game. Take TNT as an example. Countless fans.

"Judging from the rising ratings, I know that many fans have been attracted by the confrontation of this game, but unfortunately, I think you have come late." Shaquille O'Neal is a bit cheap Said with a sneer at the neutral fans who poured in later.

"Why? We've only played half the game now!"

"After the second quarter, two teams with such an aggressive offense, I don't believe they still have the stamina to continue to give you such a performance in the second half."

As expected of being the laziest historical superstar in the history of the NBA, Shaquille O'Neal's words hit the nail on the head.In the next third quarter, the Clippers actually replaced three players directly. Anson and Jordan, who were close to playing two full quarters, had already defended Jason Richardson in LeBron James' quarter.

The Clippers put all their chances of not collapsing in the third quarter on Chris Paul, and the Heat only replaced LeBron James, who played two full quarters, compared to the Clippers without Blake Griffin. As far as the boat is concerned, the Heat have more people playing, not to mention the five main players, Mike Miller, Norris Cole, and Sean Battier on the bench are all considered to be good immediate combat power , without Blake Griffin, after Anson topped the power forward, the outside line of the Clippers' bench began to be a little stretched, and Chris Paul and Eric Bledsoe could hardly be found. Players who can replace them for a few minutes.

, Just as Shaquille O'Neal guessed, Chris Paul began to slow down the rhythm. He was looking for the best style of play with almost no balls. The advantage of this method is that it will greatly give the players off the court time to rest. The disadvantage is that the success rate of this method is definitely not high.

Without Anson's containment, the Clippers failed to attack in the first two rounds. Eric Bledsoe still wanted to go around the pick-and-roll to catch the ball, but this time he was double-teamed directly, without Anson's containment force , Eric Bledsoe felt that the sky in front of him was going to be dark.

The shortcoming of the young player is also shown at this time. When he was double-teamed, he suddenly emptied his head and wanted to pass the ball, but in front of him was a 211cm Chris Bosh and a 203cm Sean Battier. The double-teaming made him panic in an instant.His lack of experience in the finals became his fatal mistake in losing the ball. Not every player played seamlessly like Magic and Anson in the finals for the first time.

Forget Eric Bledsoe's mistake, and then Chris Paul also made a mistake in the offense. Once the speed is not played, the consequences of the height of the two of them in the offense will also be greatly reduced. The child was undoubtedly exposed, and the limitation of height and vision made them make consecutive mistakes in the third quarter.

Physical strength, height, all of these are the biggest factors restricting the two flexible guards, Del Negro swung his hand, Randy Foye came on the bench, Chris Paul, Randy Foye, Ryan Gomez, Kenyon Martin, Reggie Evans, except for Chris Paul, the value of the other four may not exceed 1500 million US dollars. You can't imagine which one day No team will play a lineup like this on the court to play in the finals.

"Hey! It's exactly as I expected. The new audience may be disappointed, but the owner of the Clippers is a rich man, and they still have a lot of salary space. In this summer, I can see a A guy chasing free agents with money, he will definitely change the current market situation." Shaquille O'Neal looked eager to try, as if as long as the owner of the Clippers was willing to spend money, he would immediately take off this suit and play Competition, fighting for his fifth championship, after all, that kid Kobe Bryant also has 5 rings.

"You'd better explain this game with me honestly. Could it be that you can play more than 3 minutes in the Clippers here? It's not enough to lose all the fat in your body."

Their ridicule also proved that the weakness of the Clippers on the bench is already an indisputable fact. Extreme magnification.

In 3 minutes, Anson, Jason Richardson, and Jordan just rested off the court for 3 minutes. The gap that was originally only 3 points was instantly opened to 3 points by the Heat's 11:3 in these 11 minutes.Facing a 201cm Reggie Evans and a 206cm Kenyon Martin, Chris Bosh can get anything he wants on the court. Facing two short insiders who are not good at defense, he shoots 3 of 4 in 3 minutes He scored 8 points in a row.
