Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 159: well-deserved reputation
The appearance of rotation players is still unable to limit Chris Paul, but when Griffin and Butler rested, the other players of the Clippers were gradually limited. In the first quarter, Paul scored 12 points, more than 40% of the Clippers' score, and the Clippers led the Nets by 8 points with 29:21.
The second quarter kicked off, and the Nets' rotation began to exert its strength. Jeremy Lin used the pick-and-roll with Anderson to cut into the Clippers' inside line, attracting the attention of Mo Buchuan and Reggie Evans, and then gave the ball to Anderson. Anderson hit a knife and hit a 3-pointer.
Although Evans, the rebounding idiot, is a good player in protecting rebounds, his ability in other areas is really uncomplimentable, especially his foot movement is slow in the interior. What's worse, he is already the only reliable rotation player in the Clippers' interior.
It's no wonder that the Clippers are actively chasing Kenyon Martin, who has performed well in the CBA and is eager to return to the NBA.
In all fairness, the Clippers' bench lineup has been considered a success in the league, but the problem lies in the mobility of the two backup insiders, Evans and Tomkins. When two people follow, they are easily shaken by Anderson's fake moves. If they don't follow, Anderson's three-pointer is really terrible, and it's a bit of a dilemma.
The Clippers and the Nets are both teams that can enjoy the benefits brought by high-quality rookie contracts, and the lineups they form also have their own advantages. However, the Clippers, which still have some advantages on the card, are gradually being replaced by the Nets. When the team moves back, it depends on the gap between the players. From the perspective of God, Jiang Mingliang found a figure like Stevens who can be a Ferguson for the Nets, while Del Negro almost gave everything to Chris Paul, and he was willing to be the puppet of the players. The gap between the head coaches is obvious.
The second quarter went on for 3 minutes, and the point difference had narrowed to 3 points. The Clippers replaced Billups and Griffin on the court again, and the scene was reversed. Anderson can bully Evans with his footsteps at this point, but it makes him a little embarrassed to fight against Griffin, and Billups, who has been resting for a long time, reappears and revitalizes the team's perimeter. Randy Foye takes Billups. Puth hit a 3-point pass with a pass, and the Clippers widened the difference to 8 points. Stevens had to bring West and Leonard back on the court to contain Griffin. After the two debuted, at least Griffin was not so comfortable playing.
Although Jeremy Lin couldn't guard Billups, but on the offensive end, he could also rely on his physical advantages to break through the opponent's defense, and faced Evans' defense with a pull-bar and turned the ball into the basket, which caused Evans' defense. Defensive foul!
After a beautiful 2+1, Jeremy Lin also won applause from the audience.
Jiang Mingliang on the sidelines also stood up and waved his arms, making no secret of his cheers for Jeremy Lin. Not only because Jeremy Lin is Chinese American like him, and comes from Harvard like him, but also because Jeremy Lin is Jiang Mingliang who stayed on the team despite all the opposition and made progress little by little, until now he has become one of the best players in the league. Reliable backup point guard.
Jeremy Lin's wonderful goal boosted the morale of the Nets team. In the next defense, Fernandez blocked Randy Foye's three-point shot, and directly launched a fast break, three steps and two steps, gliding, splitting and dunking. 2 points for the team.
Seeing the Nets gaining momentum, Del Negro called a timeout to stop the Nets' rising flames.
After the timeout, Paul, Jordan, and Butler also returned to the court. On the Nets side, the main players also appeared, and the two sides began to face each other again.
Bledsoe, who has both wingspan, strength and flexibility, is an excellent representative of the new generation of point guards in the league. When he returned to the court to face Chris Paul, Bledsoe also put all his energy on the defensive end. In the matter of Reese Paul, being active and serious and taking advantage of physical conditions can be regarded as making Paul feel uncomfortable to a certain extent. However, when Paul was slightly restrained by Bledsoe's physical defense, Butler and Griffin stood up, Griffin pulled the ball to the high position to feed Butler, and Butler hit George twice in a row. Succeeded and helped the Clippers re-establish their lead.
In Jiang Mingliang's view, the current Clippers have a healthier lineup than the Clippers in the next few years. Although the team's tactical play is a little immature, there are more points that can really launch an attack to solve problems. At the back, when the Clippers formed the most stable starting quartet in the league, it also came to the stage where the team's tactics were the most rigid. Fans had reached the point where they knew the Clippers' tactics with closed eyes. Screening to find a shot, Griffin and Jordan made a pick-and-roll, and several sets of tactics could not be opened. Crawford took the pot. . . . . . .
Butler may not be suitable for Paul, but in fact, a perfect fit cannot compare to overflowing efficiency. No matter how reasonable the Clippers seem, they will lose more than once when they meet the unreasonable Warriors!
In the second half of the second quarter, George began to increase the frequency of individual attacks. Brook Lopez's injury means the team's possession will be more concentrated on him and West, which of course helps George get better when Stevens' system doesn't easily get good numbers. There are many performance opportunities. Since the start of the game, George's performance has been steadily improving, and in this game, he has also proved that he is enough to absorb more ball rights with his actual performance.
He can catch a lightning shot on the left wing, he can dodge Butler's ghostly outstretched hand after a cut, he can dunk on a pass, and he's even in the middle 1.2 seconds before halftime. Archery on horseback, hit a long-range three-pointer. George's nine-point streak late in the second quarter helped the Nets tie the game before halftime.
Compared with the matchup between the main lineups of the two sides in the first quarter, the Nets were almost beaten by the Clippers~www.readwn.com~ In the second quarter, they even had a certain advantage. Among them, the two rookies selected by the team last season contributed greatly!
Although young, but in the Nets, their growth is really fast enough! The progress is really obvious enough!
The 15-minute break in the midfield was fleeting, and the pair soon reappeared for the battle in the third quarter.
Paul held the ball over halftime and was controlling the rhythm of the game. Suddenly, George stepped forward to cooperate with Bledsoe to double-team Paul. Butler in the bottom corner was emptied by him.
Taking advantage of the team's long arms both inside and outside the team to double-team the ball-holders, this tactic once shined brightly against the Knicks. The continuous pressure made Felton almost double-digit mistakes in that game. However, Paul, who is also short in stature, is not so easy to deal with. Before the formation of the double-team, he observed the position of his teammates in advance. He stepped back and gave the jumping space to jump and pass the ball to Griffin, who was high. In the bottom corner, Butler, who was in the open position, received the ball from the bottom corner and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer, but unfortunately the ball was not made.
Although it's a pity that the ball didn't make a shot, it was also Paul's personal cracking of the Nets team's double-team tactics, and he made a smart response without being prepared at all.
