Chapter 605: Death Shoots
The Clippers are still in the process of making a trade, and there have been rumors that they want to add to the No. 2 position and trade Gordon for the Wizards for Caron Butler. In addition www.biquge.info there are even rumors that they are playing Steve Nash's idea, and they want to get Nash here and gather the three point guards in this land of Southern California.
If the three point guards gather in Southern California, the league may not only focus on the Warriors and Lakers when promoting the Southern California derby. When the time comes, whether it is the Los Angeles derby or the Clippers and Warriors' small Southern California derby, it will attract people's attention.
"Even if you can't compete for the championship in one step, you have to be able to get a piece of the pie under the alliance's huge publicity resources." That's probably the Clippers' strategy this season. Although their home court is in Staples, it is much worse than the prosperity of the Lakers and Warriors.
It can be seen that the Clippers do want to come out of the shadow of the Lakers and Warriors in Southern California.
The Clippers take this game against the Warriors very seriously, and their starting lineup is Billups, Gordon, Matt Barnes, Griffin and Jordan Jr.
Height in the backcourt is one of the more important issues for the Clippers' lineup, and there is also one less reinforcement at the small forward position. But the combination of twin towers on the inside makes it impossible for anyone to underestimate this team.
Even in the previous three seasons, Chen Mo's team won the championship mainly with a small lineup of Kombat Whirlwind, but there are still some people who think that those who have the inside line win the world.
"Elementary school kids know that the closer you are to the basket, the higher the percentage of shots. Basketball has always been the world of giants. ”
At the beginning of the game, the Clippers' offense focused on the interior.
Billups and Griffin blocked and sent a through ball, and Griffin used the powerful explosiveness of his body to pass the slightly distracted Millsap and force a violent dunk.
Chen Mo shouted loudly: "Attack! ”
It doesn't matter if you don't defend well, but you have to take advantage of the offense.
Millsap was also not embarrassed by defensive mistakes due to distraction, and it seems to be a relatively normal thing to be distracted on the pitch.
Next, the Warriors began to attack, and Millsap immediately relented.
He immediately went over to block Chen Mo, and then went to the left to cover Barnes without the ball.
Curry slotted out from under the basket, and he used his off-ball runs to drive the Clippers' defense.
The Warriors' tactics are simple to say, but they are ever-changing to implement.
Although Chen Mo is the initiator of the attack, the movement of others without the ball is very important. Anyone can be the finisher, but they can also be the ones who cover the offense for their teammates.
Billups because Larry Brown was the first point guard to tie up with Chen Mo, when he was in the Nuggets to assist Anthony, the year before they reached the Western Conference Finals, just when everyone was hopeful for the Nuggets, that year in the playoffs Billups was blown up by Delon Chubby. At this time, everyone realized that Chauncey was old.
Now, another two years have passed, and Billups' speed has dropped even more. The accumulation of experience does not seem to be able to help him do more on the pitch.
Especially in the face of the increasingly powerful Chen Mo, after being blocked by Millsap, it was extremely difficult for Billups to keep up with Chen Mo's footsteps. Matt Barnes, on the other hand, has followed in the footsteps of Millsap, whose previous defensive strategy is not to switch.
With Billups behind him, Chen Mo is tantamount to not having any defenders. Chen Mo didn't want to do some fancy cooperation this time, so he directly chose a mid-range pull-up jump shot.
Easily putting the ball in the basket, he turned back to Billups behind him to stop his foot.
Vinnie De Nagro shook his head silently on the sidelines, feeling that his team really needs to be strengthened at the point guard position, and that Bills is better suited to the bench than a starting point guard.
The game continued, and the Clippers continued to play with their advantage on the inside.
But no matter how much advantage the Clippers have on the inside, the Warriors remain unmoved. They're playing at their own pace, and they're going to be the first to play their own offense.
The Warriors' offense did have some problems in the opening game, Barnes's movement was fine, and he did have chances under the cover of other teammates, but he didn't feel good today, but he desperately wanted to prove himself, so he wasted a few chances.
This time, the Warriors did not call a timeout to adjust, and Chen Mo himself made adjustments on the court.
He stepped up his individual offense.
In the last game against the Grizzlies, Memphis had a backcourt combination of Mike Conley and Tony Allen, Tony Allen is a thorough defender, and some have commented that his vision on the offensive end is as small as the basket. And the Grizzlies' small forward is Rudy Gay, a guy who was rated as Wheaty in the early morning, and his physicality is evident.
It wouldn't be impossible for Chen Mo to come by himself, but it would be too hard to play like that.
This game was different, and although the Clippers also had a height advantage in the interior twin towers, their outside defenders were Billups, Gordon and Matt Barnes.
Barnes isn't bad defensively, but he's a lot worse athletic than Rudy Gay. What's more, the height of Gordon and Billups' dual point guard combination has no advantage over the backcourt combination of Chen Mo and Curry.
Playing such a combination, Chen Mo naturally showed his fangs.
Chen Mo used the horizontal swing to swing out of the space, and he staggered a position gap with Billups, who stretched out his arm but couldn't interfere with Chen Mo's shot.
Chen Mo easily put the ball into the basket, and after hitting a three-point shot, the score on the court came to 11-19.
Gordon missed a three-pointer, but Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound and made a layup. At 11-21, the Warriors are still trailing by ten points.
Yibian fought again, and Chen Mo handed the ball to Millsap after half time.
Biedrins came around to give Chen Mo an off-ball screen, but Chen Mo immediately ran to the right side to make an off-ball screen for Curry.
Curry went down, and Chen Mo pulled a V-shaped run to the outside.
Just jumping off the three-point line, Barnes moved from the bottom right corner to the left 45 degrees.
The Warriors' entire off-ball operation system is very clear, and Millsap threw the ball to Chen Mo and cut straight to the basket.
Chen Mo's position was empty, little Jordan rushed out from under the basket, and Chen Mo threw the ball in his hand unhurriedly.
The ball swirled in the air and flew towards the basket, and little Jordan felt that he should have interfered with Chen Mo's shooting, but all his movements were in Chen Mo's prediction, so that all his movements seemed to Chen Mo to be air.
