Chapter 210: The battle is deadlocked
The Lakers rarely ask for a timeout in such a short period of time, but Phil Jadonson saw that the Clippers' offensive momentum had risen, and it was not something that could be solved by the players on the court adjusting themselves.pbtxt.cOm Joe's table xiàn Needless to say, and that second-round show, such an excellent rookie center uniform group didn't know? The Clippers' luck is too good!
Little Jordan is still easy to solve, after all, it seems that he doesn't have many scoring means at present, and both balls are empty catches, so it can only be said that his body is very good. But one person is not terrible. The biggest problem is still Joe, Joe's height has an advantage in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, and once he breaks through to shoot, it is difficult to be blocked. What's even more terrifying is that Joe is good at playing back in the low post, which is a combination of strength and speed, and if he relies on playing outside players in the low post, few can resist him. If a tall interior player defends, he can use his speed advantage to get rid of it. How could there be such a perverted guy.
On the commentator's bench, looking at the number of jù, Bill Wharton said: "The Clippers have really earned it, and according to the current lineup, the Clippers will definitely enter the playoffs this year." And this lineup is too cheap. I have also seen the current general manager of the Clippers, Kyrie, who turned out to be Joe's agent and became the general manager of the Clippers this season, which is not optimistic about many people. Now it seems that Carey does have his own set. ”
Barkley laughed and said, "I think the best thing is the new owner of the Clippers, Steve Jobs. You must know that Carey's movements are very big, and he actually trusts Carey completely and has courage! And the Apple phone is really easy to use. (Well, the ad came unexpectedly.) )”
Jackson made changes to the lineup, with Odom and Luke Wharton coming in for Bynum and Ariza. The purpose is clear, to strengthen the defense of Joe! Joe is the Clippers' **oss! Bringing in Odom and Luke Wharton are both good candidates.
On the offensive end, Phil Jackson asked Odom to pull up to the high post and pass the ball to Gasol in the low post, Gasol faced Millsap and had height advantage and experience in the face of Jordan Jr. After covering in the high post, passing to Odom to misplaced offense also has a height advantage.
That's when the Lakers need Gasol to step up
The axis of the triangular offensive. Jackson said to Bryant: "Bryant, if Gasol can attract the bag in the low post, you can get more shots and more runs. ”
Kobe nodded, he didn't expect the Clippers to be so difficult to deal with. He glanced at Qiao and couldn't help laughing, this guy is really not to be underestimated.
On the Clippers side, Stevens didn't arrange other tactics, but still let Joe hold the ball, with him as the core.pBtxt Before the game started, Stevens didn't expect to play so smoothly, it was just a god. It was his first regular-season game in charge, and it would have been perfect if he had won.
The timeout was over, and the two sides returned to the field. Replaced by Luke Wharton to defend Joe, Kobe Bryant went to defend Barnes.
Seeing his son playing, the corners of Bill Wharton's mouth couldn't help twitching, his son actually played so early, and he had to play against Joe, should he be happy or pray for him not to be blown up.
The Lakers held the ball, Fisher slowly took the ball to the right side, and hung the ball to Gasol, who was in the position of the inside, and the Lakers officially changed their strategy. Millsap was pulled out of the basket by Odom, and Gasol singled Jordan Jr.
Gasol has a lot of offensive means, and it's not just a turnaround jumper. After taking the ball, he dribbled to the middle with his back to the left, his left foot was the axis, and his right foot took a step towards the middle. Little Jordan was shaken by this action and jumped up to block it. But Gasol still didn't throw his arm back and jumped to the basket and scored with his left hand low. 13:8。
Jordan Jr. still has no experience, it's okay to meet Bynum, but he has to kneel when he meets Gasol, a technical expert. Gasol makes a nice low shot. Like Phil Jackson thought, little Jordan is not afraid of people coming hard, he is afraid of people playing with technology.
The Clippers attacked, Joe got the ball in the high post, and the defender was replaced by Luke Wharton. Luke Wharton trained alone with Phil Jackson in the offseason, gaining weight and practicing defenseally like crazy in order to face a guy like Joe, and no one knows.
The Lakers began to take special care of Joe. Odom blocked Joe's path and forced him to the perimeter. Joe dribbled laterally, attracting Odom to follow and pass the ball to Millsap in the high post. Millsap faced Ariza and did not rush to make a move.
He turned his back to watch and handed the ball to Conley, who ran past him.
Conley burst into the box with the ball, accelerated past Fisher and threw a shot before Gasol could make a move. You can shoot too quickly and the ball doesn't go in. Gasol grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.
The Lakers attacked again, and Gasol took the ball in the low post to single Jordan Jr. Little Jordan knew that he was inexperienced and was afraid of being deceived by Gasol, so he observed the referee's position with the rest of his eyes when defending Gasol, leaned on Gasol's back with his right hand, and poked his waist with his left hand when Gasol was about to turn around.
Gasol's waist was sluggish, and his movements were a little deformed, but he could still control the ball and turn around to shoot in his hands. He jumped up, and little Jordan clung tightly. Little Jordan secretly grabbed Gasol's clothes. Gasol made a tight shot and missed it.
Jordan Jr. succeeded with a low~class defense, and the referee didn't blow for a foul. His body is wide, and he is more stealthy when he makes small movements.
Odom, however, got inside before Millsap and grabbed the rebound. The basket grabbed and caused a foul on Millsap and two free throws.
Millsap was busy, he didn't have playing time with the Jazz before, but now he has playing time with the Clippers, but he's tired. After Odom hit both free throws, at 13:10, the Lakers began to recover the score.
On the offensive end, Jordan Jr. pulled up to the top again to cover for Conley. Barnes ran to the bottom corner. Conley split the ball, Odom pounced to defend, Barnes missed a three-point shot, and the rebound was picked up by Gasol. Gasol passed to Kobe, who shook off Barnes and rushed towards the Clippers halfcourt, and Joe was the fastest to defend and formed a one-on-one with Kobe. Kobe Bryant couldn't shake him off by speed, paused slightly when he stepped on the three-point line, started with a change of speed, and used the same crotch dribble to pass people. But Joe himself is a master of change of direction, how can he be deceived in the past.
Millsap and Barnes also came back to defend. At this time, Bryant hit Joe with the ball and turned around and made a backward jumper.
Joe was not so easily knocked open, and immediately jumped up to block it, although it didn't cover it, but it interfered with Kobe Bryant very well.
Conley picked up the ball and immediately ran back, and the Lakers' defensive system also came into play, they occupied the restricted area, one person on the outside pestered Joe, and one person inside was responsible for changing the defense, so that Joe could no longer easily receive the ball into the interior. Although it can be forced, it has little effect and wastes the body.
Conley broke through with the ball and gave the ball to Jordan Jr., Jordan Jr. passed to Millsap again, Millsap hit Gasol on the bottom line, and the jump shot was missed.
The Lakers attacked, Gasol went to the left low post to play the ball to Jordan Jr., this time Jordan Jr. didn't have a chance to make a small move, Gasol took the ball and he pulled away from him and turned around, dribbled the ball inside and shot with a hook hand in three steps. 13:12。
After the timeout, the Lakers chased 6 points in a row, and Jordan Jr., who was the first to be powerful, has now become a defensive hole. Barkley said: "Andrew Jordan, although very good, but inexperienced, has a hard time facing technical inside. ”
Bill Wharton said, "Not every rookie is like JOJO, after all. Let's take a look at what JOJO will do. ”
The problem of Jordan Jr. has arisen, and it is difficult to defend against a technical interior like Gasol without experience.
On the offensive end of the Lakers, after Odom blocked and dismantled in the high position, he received a return pass, and faced Millsap with the ball and made a quick stop jumper, and the ball was also deflected.
Both sides began to drop their shooting percentages, the Lakers watched Joe tightly, he took the ball from the outside, Luke Wharton and Odom came to wrap up, and the others didn't feel good. Lakers Kobe Bryant was also heavily guarded, only relying on Gasol to score alone, and neither side could pull away the score.
In the 9th minute of the game, Joe began to ask for the ball in the low post, and when the shot could not be opened, it was a good choice to play in the low post, and he could also pull out the space after attracting the bag.
The Lakers saw Joe's intentions and didn't dare to go to the trap of Joe, and only let Odom defend alone, Odom was the best choice for the Lakers to defend Joe. But Joe still took advantage of his body, hit Odom with his back in the low post, turned to the middle and shot with one hand, and scored a goal.
Two minutes later, Joe did the same, turned around on the same spot, ignored Luke Wharton's bag, and relied on bounce to hit the inside. Odom knew he couldn't defend it, so he chose to foul early, and Joe sent it to the free throw line. One of two free throws.
Joe is a big threat in the low post, and although it is tiring to play like this, it is much easier than breaking through all the time. The Lakers didn't dare to compress too much, as long as they were packed, Joe would pass the ball, and Barnes received his pass on the weak side before the end of the first quarter and hit a three-pointer.
The score was 25-22 in the first quarter, the Clippers led by 3 points, and Joe scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists! Although he scored a lot, Joe didn't use his full strength, and now is not the time.
The two sides fought very hard, and no one thought that the Clippers would reach this point with the Lakers, which is impressive. Regardless of whether the Clippers win or lose in the end, the result will be good.
