Chapter 381: The level of the playoffs
Blocking and pick-and-roll coordination in a very small area, even Jordan Jr. and Griffin, can't complete such a tactic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Both guys have obvious shortcomings, range. Although Griffin worked hard to shoot last summer and made great progress in the middle range, the mid-range shot still could not be Griffin's main scoring method.
Because of their technical limitations, Griffin and Jordan Jr. have far less tactical changes on the offensive end than Anjie and Aldridge. Therefore, this kind of delicate cooperation between the inside line and the inside line is difficult for Griffin and Jordan Jr. to do.
Pooh. De Nagro had already begun to think about it, and if he waited until Anjie and Aldridge were fully opened, it would be too late to figure it out.
After that, Griffin tried to play one-on-one singles with Aldridge on the inside. But when he carried it into the inner line, he found that An Jie was always able to complete the bag in time.
No way, DeAndrew. Jordan, a guy with little shooting ability, couldn't help Griffin open up space at all. An Jie can rest assured to put him far away, and then defend the basket wholeheartedly!
On the other hand, Aldridge, don't look at him as much thinner than Griffin, but in individual singles, Aldridge has an advantage.
Griffin's embarrassing reach made it impossible for him to interfere with Aldridge's dribbling as he pushed back. And Aldridge's turnaround jumper also made the inexperienced Griffin deflated.
In the regular season, Griffin was a thousand times more dazzling than Aldridge. But in the playoffs, Griffin realized that there was still so much he needed to improve......
In the following games, the Trail Blazers gradually took control. It wasn't until both sides of the second lineup came on the pitch that the Clippers finally pulled one back.
Like the Trail Blazers, the Clippers also have a difficult sixth man to mess with, and he is Nick, who was urgently recruited by the Clippers in the second half of the season. Poplar!
This season in the Wizards, Nicks. Young is averaging 16.6 points per game, which is definitely a statistic that can be called "super" for a bench player.
After joining the Clippers, Nick. Young's performance is still good. This guy will never be able to affect the performance because of different systems, because in his world, he is a system himself!
This guy is better than Jamal. Crawford prefers to go it alone, and it's probably hard to get an assist from him in a season. But the scary thing is that this guy can really play well!
Today, Jamal. Crawford's performance was noticeably a little worse. Contney. Lee's feel is also very average, hitting only 1 goal in 3 shots.
So, the Clippers were in the Nicks. Under the leadership of Yang Lian's throwing and suddenness, the difference between points was slowly narrowed. It wasn't until the end of the first quarter that the score was 25-20. Yang, the score difference has to be eight or nine points.
Nick. This kind of excellent play really made the Clippers fans breathe a sigh of relief. But Pooh. De Nagro, but not because of Nick. Yang was a little pleased with his performance.
Why? Nick. No matter how powerful Yang is, he is also a person. A team can't beat the opponent with just one person or a substitute. To win, De Nagro will have to make the Clippers' starting lineup efficient as well. Light a Nick. Young, not enough for the Clippers to drag the Trail Blazers into the water.
"Your choice of the bag against Griffin in the first quarter was fantastic, but you have to watch out for DeAndrew. Jordan's incut. As long as he is given a little space, he can force a dunk. Griffin's skills are not rough, and sending an air relay to little Jordan is not difficult for him! "At the break, the Trail Blazers' performance in the first quarter was enough to satisfy Rickard. So compared to the frustrated De Nagro, Riccard has to do just to fill in the gaps.
"Jamal, I'm going to want you to defend more seriously. You make Nick. Yang got too many easy shots, and I don't want to see this guy score more than you! After that, Rickard had a rare few words to Crawford.
Crawford may have attacked fiercely, but his absent-minded defense always Rickard to death. If Nick. Young hit a high score today, and that Jamal . Crawford's efficiency on the field was completely negative.
Crawford just nodded casually, and God knows if the guy listened. Let's hope the playoffs will make this guy who is fighting for money work harder......
"Griffin, use your body to fight Aldridge! Hit the basket strongly, even if you are there to defend it, you will continue to execute the offense for me! Even if you can't score, there's a good chance you can get a foul! De Nagro knows he doesn't have to worry about anything more for Paul, but the young Griffin, the key to the Clippers' success, needs the right guidance.
And now, De Nagro believes that Griffin's body is definitely enough to handle the entanglement of Angel and Aldridge. In the first quarter, Griffin faced the bag, and Griffin either chose to pass or hook up. Playing like this, the efficiency naturally cannot be improved. What if he uses his body to force the basket? Anjie is indeed hard, but don't forget, Griffin is not soft either!
So at the beginning of the second quarter, Aldridge felt that his defense was not as easy as it was in the first quarter. Before receiving Paul's pass, Griffin began to use his body to keep squeezing inside.
Griffin only has to worry about whether he can get to a comfortable position, because no matter where you are on the pitch, Paul is guaranteed to deliver the ball!
The Griffin is going deep, and if you take one more small step inside, you'll be in the three-second zone.
In order to prevent little Jordan from running inward, Anjie's assistance range was not as large as in the first quarter. Now, everything is ready to go, just waiting for Paul to feed the ball in!
Paul shook off a bit of space with his blistering dribble, and then he started to pass the ball to Blake, who is now in the palm of his hand. Griffin.
Seeing the basketball fly out of Paul's hands, De Nagro rose from the bench, hoping to see if his new setup would work.
However......
"It's Ann! Ann appeared on the passing route! He intercepted the basketball halfway through, oh my god, Ann actually let Chris. Guys like Paul made a mistake! "Mike. Brin exclaimed loudly, they have seen too much of the scene of the guard stealing the center. However, the center steals the defender, which is really very rare!
Even Chris. Paul himself couldn't believe his eyes. As a point guard, it's normal to have more turnovers than players in other positions. After all, their task is to organize the team's attack, and organizing the team's attack requires a lot of passing. A lot of passing means more risk than others. So conceding one or two passes per game, which Paul is used to.
But being robbed by a center who suddenly came out, Paul couldn't imagine that he would make a mistake because of this way!
An Jie had long expected that the final point of attack would be Griffin, if not, Griffin would definitely not struggle so hard to grab the position.
Since your range can't cover the basket, the easiest way to stop the offense is to keep the ball out of Griffin's hands!
So An Jie ran with little Jordan while observing all of Paul's movements. Finally, when Paul was about to pass the ball, Anjie saw the opportunity, stretched out his long arm, and successfully implemented this long-planned plan!
After the steal, if it weren't for the slow pace of Filton and Matthews, Anjie would definitely use his accurate long pass to let the Trail Blazers play a fast break.
It's a pity that the two defenders around him are guys who are more suitable for positional battles and are not good at switching attacks. If Westbrook had been with Anjie, the Clippers would have lost two points to that mistake.
But slowly grinding the ground does not mean that the Trail Blazers will not be able to grasp the opportunity of Paul's mistake this time. It's just that it takes them a little longer than they do in a fast break.
Filton knows he's not the kind of shock defender. In fact, Felton's first step is not slow, but his passing and finishing ability after breaking through are not too strong. Rather than blindly breaking through without a plan, patiently and slowly organizing, this is a more suitable style of play for him.
Anjie and Aldridge's interspersed runs left Jordan Jr. and Griffin scratching. Today, Rickard decided to beat the Clippers in an unconventional way!
In the past, Anjie either held the ball in the high post or singled in the low post. But today, he and Aldridge are like two guards, constantly running to tear apart the Clippers' defense.
Jordan Jr. and Griffin are athletic, and it won't be too hard for them to keep up with them. But the difficulty is that Anjie and Aldridge's interspersed running positions usually allow them to defend one of the two and completely miss the other.
This time, Aldridge and An Jie passed by again, and this kind of running effect between the inside line and the inside line can't be checked much with a block!
But this time, when An Jie passed by Aldridge, he suddenly ran back, and Griffin thought that Jordan Jr. would continue to follow, so he stuck to Aldridge. And what about Little Jordan? He thought that Griffin should switch defenses with him, so in the face of An Jie's escape, Jordan Jr. also had no reaction.
"!" Griffin and Jordan Jr. glared at each other, and then turned back in unison. It's just that at this time, Felton's ball has been thrown into the air, and An Jie has already taken off into the air, received the basketball, and completed a powerful aerial relay!
The two inner lines that are the most good at air connection are now defeated again by An Jie in the way of air connection!
"It's a beautiful combination, and the tactical set-up of Coach Rikader is simply subtle. Of course, Ann's execution skills are also very high. DeAndrew. Jordan and Blake. The Griffin duo used their athleticism to provide fans with wonderful goals during the regular season. But they have to figure it out, it's not the regular season right now. The playoffs are not the place to talk with bounces! "Kenny. Smith can see that DeAndrew. Jordan and Griffin are the real "regular season players".
In the following games, Griffin and Jordan Jr. simply couldn't keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm of Aldridge and Anjie, even if the athleticism of these two was the top in the league, they were still played by Anjie and Aldridge, who have playoff experience.
Jordan Jr. did complete a block, but that was also against Jamal who broke through. Crawford. In the face of An Jie, it was very difficult for Jordan Jr. to even prevent him from scoring, let alone blocking.
After that, Nick. Yang was as helpful as ever. He fired back-to-back shots from beyond the three-point line and hit back-to-back shots. In the face of this kind of ball, Anjie and Aldridge can't do anything.
It's because of Nick. Yang, this game can be regarded as maintaining the suspense. If it weren't for someone on the bench who could step up, the embarrassed Clippers wouldn't have been able to bite the score at all.
In the end, the Trail Blazers won a temporary halftime victory with a score of 58-49.
Although he was not much behind, De Nagro was a little desperate in his heart. Because so far, he still can't come up with a decent solution.
Just let the Clippers pray, Nick. Can Yang save them a few more times......
