Chapter 145: The Game Begins
The Los Angeles Clippers' starting lineup was released immediately after the big screen at home was introduced, and Coach Popovich also submitted the starting lineup in advance. Pen www.biquge.info center David Robinson, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Sean Elliott, scoring guard Derrick Anderson, point guard Terry Porter. Coach Popovich didn't make many changes to the starting lineup, although Jason Green just won the Player of the Month in March, and from the first game of his comeback, he performed strongly, that is, in the confrontation with Shaq O'Neal, both of which were victorious, but Popovich believed in Tim Duncan, Duncan never let him down, and Duncan knew Jason Green very well.
Jason Green and Tim Duncan are college teammates, very familiar with each other, it can be said that Duncan is the first mentor and friend of Jason's basket technology, so that Jason from the stunned youth in high school, to the basket center, but Duncan understands Jason Green in college, and now Jason Green, under the tutelage of Rodman and Bill Fitch, the style of play is more concise and practical, the footsteps under the basket are self-contained, and there are more small actions in the confrontation, and the confrontation between Jason Green and Duncan, who has grown up, will appear. What's new and different?
"Tim, we can finally fight each other properly, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Jason Green and Tim Duncan were standing on the halfway line, waiting for the jump ball, Jason Green hugged the old friend first, and as the two hugged each other, Jason Green took the lead.
"Boy, you've never won a confrontation with me, and this time it's the same." Duncan replied lightly.
"I'm no longer Jason Green in college, I'm called The Beast now." Jason Green finished speaking without retreating, and let go of Duncan, the eyes of the two had begun to change from each other, and both leaked deep battle intent.
The referee looked at the two and did not speak, but put the whistle in his mouth and held the basketball in his right hand and placed it between the two. The opening whistle sounded, Jason Green and Tim Duncan, almost at the same time, but Jason Green in the jump ball, obviously higher, this goods since high school, the jump ball is a winning general, this time is no exception, Jason Green took the lead in dialing the basketball to Billups, Tiger who is very confident in Jason Green's jump ball, has started one step ahead, the San Antonio Spurs are obviously prepared for this, when Tiger received Billups' pass, Anderson had already appeared next to Tiger, but Tiger stood still and did not move, but threw the basketball to the rebound, at this time a red figureJermaine O'Neal looked at the basketball in the air, stepped out, stepped on the three-second line, jumped on one foot, directly in the air, pressed the basketball into the basket, and completed the Clippers' first offense after the opening.
"This is? Is this the center fast down? It's the center down fast. Jermaine O'Neal's physical fitness is really perverted, how fast is he? Let's take a look at the replay. Yorke explained the situation on the pitch in disbelief.
"Jason Green and Tim Duncan are ready to jump ball, oh! At this time, Jermaine O'Neal was almost standing outside the three-point line, it seems that he is very confident in Jason Green's jump ball, Tiger Washington receives the ball, everything is fine, Jermaine O'Neal has begun to move, Tiger Washington passes, Jermaine O'Neal jumps with one foot, there is no problem with this ball at all, Jermaine O'Neal's jumping ability is really strong, and the tacit understanding of the Los Angeles Clippers is also very high, I suddenly feel that the San Antonio Spurs are hanging in this game, The five starters on the court of the Los Angeles Clippers are just too athletic. Rick Barry watched the replay on the big screen and re-analyzed how the ball happened.
After Jermaine O'Neal dunked, he didn't stay much, and when he ran back to Tiger's side, he stretched out his right hand and Tiger high-fived in the air, and simply made a celebration move, and then came to David Robinson's side, although in this game, he played power forward, but on the defensive end, the main defensive object was indeed the opponent's center, the Clippers' double-tower lineup, because of the addition of Jermaine O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal and Jason Green can flexibly switch under the basket. The defensive area under the basket has also been expanded again.
Many excellent basket players, in the center and power forward positions, can be flexibly converted, such as Tim Duncan, many times he plays as a power forward in the San Antonio Spurs, but people generally treat him as a center, which has a lot to do with his technical characteristics, physical fitness, flexible footsteps under the basket, this kind of player is also a rare super player, and the Clippers are now perverted to collect two such basket players, and the salaries of both are not very high, I don't know how high the pursuit of Jermaine O'Neal and Jason Green by other teams in the league will explode after this game, but this is a player who can become the cornerstone of a team.
The San Antonio Spurs attacked, Duncan made a block with Anderson on the outside, and moved to the basket, but Anderson failed to break through, after getting rid of Tiger, he was blocked by Billups, Anderson had to hand over the basketball to Porter, who came to pick it up, over-the-top, Anderson retreated to the three-point line, received the ball from the new, swam along the three-point line, looking for new opportunities, Tiger did not chase, but stood in his position, blocking the breakthrough route in the middle, Elliott ran from the left side of the court to the right, After receiving a pass from Anderson and then passing the basketball to the basket, Duncan received the pass on the right side of the basket, and Jason Green was already standing in front of him, and the two faced each other for the first time in the game.
Duncan faced Jason Green, no longer like before, with his body to play, he was recuperating in Los Angeles in the summer, knows better than others, Jason Green's strength is now growing, after using feints to deceive a shot space, Duncan is outside the three-second zone, a board shot, after the basketball hits the board, accurately fell into the basket, for the San Antonio Spurs to score 2 points.
"Hit the board and the ball went in. Today, the San Antonio Spurs played very patiently, after the failure of the first blocking and dismantling cooperation, they did not force the attack, but carried out the second organization, it seems that they attach great importance to this game, the Los Angeles Clippers defense today has also changed, and did not carry out man-marking, but sent a 3-2 joint defense tactics, with the support of two strong interior lines, this set of joint defense tactics, played a greater power, this set of tactics is as if it was tailored for this lineup. "Rick Barry gave an accurate analysis immediately after the attack. (To be continued.) )
