Chapter 677: Cat and Fox Battle (2)

Maddie may not be able to adapt to the change in role, but the Clippers have been relatively harmonious within the team. Don't look at the dead fox all day long, but he rarely has conflicts with his teammates in the team. It's like Ray. Aaron, this guy is obviously a severe autistic person, and he rarely communicates with his teammates except for the game, and is extremely unsociable.

Many fans in China call him Junzilun, I really don't know how this nickname came about. Aaron plays cleanly, but the nickname doesn't particularly suit him either.

Thunder. Allen came to Los Angeles from Boston, and he didn't participate in any activities, but Ji Guoyi didn't care about it, if the team had any activities, he would invite Ray. Aaron, the latter comes and goes at will, and he won't be jealous of it.

I don't know if it's Ray. Allen, the main players of the Clippers are relatively low-key personalities, Billups, Hill, Iguodala, Joel. Antony, Dragic, these are all players who don't like to go to nightclubs to fool around, usually after training or games, they basically go home, rarely say that we won today, the big guys go to the nightclub together to celebrate, such a situation is rare.

Even when celebrating a victory, most of the Clippers players went to restaurants for dinner, and even newcomers O'Neal and Maddie have passed the age of spending all day in nightclubs. As a result, although the Clippers players are in Los Angeles, a city rich in nightlife, the number of clubs visited by the players ranks behind all teams in the league.

The Nets also made most of the bench lineup, and the players on the court became: Eric . Bledsoe, Tony. Aaron, Paul. George, Chris. Humphries, Ji Guoqiu.

Clippers lineup: Golan. Dragic, Maddy, Hill, Ji Guoyi, Jordan Jr.

In the comparison of the bench lineups between the two teams, the Nets have a big advantage on the defensive end, and the defense of the five people on the court is not bad at the moment.

Bledsoe and Paul. George is a first-year player though. But both men are above average in defence. Bledsoe, in particular, was a little more impressive. It's not that he's better defensively than George, but his positivity on the court is impressive, and with the contrast of Nash, it's naturally impressive.

Domestic fans have given Bledsoe a nickname called "Blood Cloth", because in the 8 preseason games, Bledsoe came on every bench like a chicken, defending and stealing very hard, and the intensity of physical confrontation was extremely high, as if he was playing with you.

The Nets' trip to Europe. Many of Europe's star point guards have been disgraced under Bledsoe, who has rarely been exposed to opponents like Bledsoe, who is fast, explosive, powerful and acts like an outlaw both offensively and defensively.

So after a long time, domestic fans shouted nicknames such as "chicken blood cloth" and "blood cloth".

Paul. George is much more elegant than Bledsoe, and many people think of him as a heightened version of Kobe, who is smart when defending one-on-one, tall but more agile on his feet, less out of position, and knows how to use his height advantage to defend. The co-defense is very active, and the defensive awareness is also excellent at this age.

Through preseason matches. You can see why the Nets chose Paul. George, this is obviously a future top defensive gate, his flaws at this stage are strength, and there is a lack of experience, but these are all techniques that can be improved with training and games.

Tony. Needless to say, Allen and Humphries are both well-known defensive stalwarts in the league, especially Tony. Allen, this guy is a top backcourt defender who has the ability to make the league's defensive second team.

If you add Ji Guoqiu, the league's defensive interior line, the defensive ability of the Nets lineup is enough to give many teams a headache at this stage, and after Bledsoe and George mature in a few years, the Nets' defensive flaws will be completely solved.

Ji Guoyan is a little sore now, although he is no longer facing the giant panda, but this Humphries is also a top interior blue-collar worker, and he is desperate to defend, like a hungry wolf, and he hates this guy the most. Generally, when encountering this kind of unfathomable master, Ji Guoyi will increase his running without the ball and reduce the number of times he hits the basket.

In fact, this is to avoid fighting, the dead fox's ball style is a little soft, because he is worried about injury, but in the eyes of the fox honey, Ji Guoshi is called smart.

Humphries couldn't keep up with Ji Guosha, but Paul. George's rookie defense made Ji Guosha very uncomfortable, especially with a panda on the inside, which made it difficult for him to get comfortable shooting opportunities through running.

In the last four minutes of the first quarter, Ji Guozhi was embarrassed, during this time he only shot 1 of 5, and only 2 of 8 in the whole quarter. Of course, such a shooting percentage is ugly, but fortunately he still scored 7 points through free throws, otherwise he would really have no face.

Ji Guoqiu is much better than Little Fox, his attack position is in the low post and the penalty area, Little Jordan's strength is not as good as him, and the defensive steps are too bad, if you want to defend his low attack, this is simply impossible.

After Little Jordan came on the court, he kept beating the drums in his heart, and he didn't have enough confidence to defend the giant panda, in the face of Ji Guoqiu's low footsteps, he would be 100% stunned within two seconds, either by Ji Guoqiu, or after losing his center of gravity, Ji Guoqiu easily got the opportunity to shoot.

At the end of the first quarter, Ji Guoqiu scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, which was much better than Ji Guoqiu's 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

"Little Jordan, this scum!" Ji Guoyan found himself completely at a disadvantage, looking at Little Jordan was particularly unpleasant, if it weren't for this idiot, how could the dead panda score 7 points in the last four minutes? He only scored 5 points against the pandas before, so this is by no means his own inadequacy, it is completely his teammate CBA.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 25-28, and the Nets led by three points.

Ji Guoyi saw that the team was lagging behind, and his personal data was not as good as that of the giant panda, and then he saw the little Jordan next to him, and at this time, the idea of elbowing the opponent suddenly rose, and he finally understood Kobe's mentality back then.

In the second quarter, the two brothers rested off the court, and they played the entire first quarter.

Many media outlets have predicted that the two brothers' playing time will reach a new high this season, most likely exceeding 40 minutes.

On the one hand. It's the two of them who have such physical strength. Forty minutes is completely within the reach of them. Secondly. This is also the path that most superstars have to go by, and they don't have enough playing time to challenge the string of records set by their predecessors.

The Nets' bench lineup does surpass that of the Clippers, at least in terms of athleticism, the Nets' rotation lineup is much stronger than the Clippers, and the strength and weakness of a team should also be taken into account.

Domestic fans don't feel very happy, because Yi Jianlian has never been given the opportunity to play. Humphries has occupied most of the rotation time at the No. 4 position for a long time in the preseason, and Yi Jianlian can't play at the center position. Wallace was also the first choice for Zen master rotations.

Eric. Bledsoe became the brightest player in the rotation, this 185cm tall, strong guy like a calf, started the first step with an astonishing speed, and Dragic found himself blown up again, which he has a natural resemblance to the Nets' Nash.

Charles. Barkley saw that Bledsoe was completely uncovered, and forced a one-on-one breakthrough through Dragic. Hit the inside to get the ball up before Maddy and Hill helped defend and then fell out of bounds.

This is not a light fall. But I saw Bledsoe roll on the floor twice before he got up and accelerated back to the backcourt, ready to defend.

Charles. Barkley couldn't help but praise this little calf like a chicken's blood, "Eric. Bledsoe is like a doping, of course it's just a metaphor for me, he's in great physical condition, old man, who does he remind you of? ”

Kenny. "Eric can't remind me of anyone, but he's almost as fast as CP3 and I can't help but applaud him because of his positivity," Smith said. He combines a range of player traits such as physical fitness, strength, speed, agility, flexibility, bounce, speed, reach, top-notch, and good defense, making him an underrated point guard. However, I watched his pre-season games and he also had a lot of shortcomings, such as being hot-headed, irrational, and making mistakes. As a point guard, he has weak ability to break through and shoot, it is difficult to get in and out, and he lacks the big picture of a point guard, and I think he is a mini version of Westbrook. ”

Bledsoe does have a lot of flaws, but the Clippers are completely unprepared for him, how can the defending champions put up any special defense for a first-year rookie, and Bledsoe is not John. Wall is the top pick, he's just a 15th pick.

But it is such a rookie with the 15th pick who made the Clippers' bench lineup jump!

The Clippers' rotation lineup is made up of guys in their 30s, with poor legs and feet, too slow to help defense, and the most feared is a violent point guard like Bledsoe. If Dragic can't delay it in the first place, the Clippers players won't have time to help defend.

The Nets' rotation is the opposite, with rookies and young players who play with a strong style or athleticism.

In such a comparison, the Clippers' roster looks too old, a bit like the Spurs in previous years, and the lack of energy is a true portrayal of them.

Bledsoe scored six straight points on his own, and Dunleavy Sr. finally called a timeout.

The rookie can't be allowed to continue to be presumptuous, but looking at Billups, it's only been less than two minutes into the second quarter, and it doesn't seem like it's time to switch to Billups.

Dunleavy Sr. shook his head, giving up on the plan to replace Billups in advance, and then his eyes swept over the bench, and finally saw Beverly at the end of the bench.

"Well, you can try him."

The elder Dunleavy finally remembered his third point guard, who was also a defensively active and hard-working player, and maybe he could defend Bledsoe.

Beverley's defense is not only active, it can be described as a mad dog, he will also play hard to defend in training games, last season in the team's training because of the defense was too active and Dragic had an unhappy relationship, and the two do not talk much now.

Ji Guoyan is very optimistic about Beverly, first of all, this little brother is very obedient, every time he gets off the plane or the race bus, Beverly will take the initiative to come over to help him carry his luggage, and he seems to be a very loyal follower.

Last season, a few games when Dragic was injured, the Clippers met the Celtics, Rashid. Wallace makes use of Taylor. Swift came to insult him.

Ji Guosha was furious and instigated Beverly to go up to Rashid. Wallace came to be ruthless.

As a result, this kid was really obedient, and he really kicked it. Let very few people in the alliance dare to provoke the roar of Tianzun. Finally, he rolled on the ground with his little brother.

Beverley was later suspended by the league for three games. and a penalty of $25,000.

Of course, Ji Guozhi couldn't help but express it, and later gave Beverly a Mercedes-Benz GL450, which made the young man happy enough and replaced his broken Japanese car.

Beverley's defense is very personal, very ferocious, close to the offensive players when close to the defense, like a mad dog. However, Beverley's defensive positioning and route selection can only be said to be average, and he only relies on crazy enthusiasm to make up for his shortcomings.

Such a player can be very effective against a strong player like Westbrook who feeds on his body. But against smart point guards like Paul, Nash, and Kidd, his mad dog defense is counterproductive to these players, and he struggles with pick-and-rolls if he's poorly picked.

Bledsoe is exactly the kind of player that Beverley is good at dealing with, and now Bledsoe relies on the brute strength of not being afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, and afraid of living a poor life to play, but his super athleticism is facing Beverley who is attached to him, no matter how strong he is, he can't use it, and Beverley doesn't give him room to break through at all.

At this time, you can see how good Nash is, and you can also see how good a point guard is with the ball.

Logically. Nash's physicality and confrontation ability are far inferior to Bledsoe's, and it should be more troublesome to get Beverley on it. But the truth is. If Beverley dared to defend Nash like this, he would either be fouled or passed by Nash using his skills, and he would not have been given a chance to entangle himself at all.

Bledsoe can't do that, his breakthrough must have room to start and accelerate, and then use his superhuman explosiveness and speed to get past his opponents. But in reality, his ball handling skills are not that good, and breaking through opponents is more based on his athleticism than skill.

Dunleavy Sr. also replaced Iguodala to increase the team's athleticism, and the Clippers relied on a strengthened defense to play a wave of 6-0 offense to equalize the score in one fell swoop.

At 7 minutes and 45 seconds in the second quarter, the two brothers were replaced again, and the score was 38:38, and the two teams were tied.

The Nets lineup became: Steve. Nash, Tony. Aaron, George. Hill, Yi Jianlian, Ji Guoqiu.

Yi Jianlian is playing for the first time, and the Zen master doesn't like Space Yi, and in the preseason, he was only given less than ten minutes of performance time per game.

Since taking office, Zen Master has always wanted to trade this high-paid imbecile player with a salary of $4 million. In Phil. In Jackson's eyes, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are no different, they may not have strength, and their talent is not bad, but they are not suitable for the NBA.

The reason here is not that they are not good at confrontation, but that they lack ball intelligence, but more importantly, they have not relied hard to overcome their own shortcomings, which is the most important reason.

In addition to speed and flexibility, Nash's confrontation can be said to be worse than Yi Jianlian, but as soon as the 37-year-old veteran came to the Nets, he brought his healthy diet and strict training plan, and also asked many players to train and eat with him.

Canadian, who doesn't stick to sugar, processed or fried foods, eats six meals a day on training days, and each meal is meticulous. His training plan is even more maddening, not because of how big the training volume is, but because it is too rigorous and meticulous, and even what training should be done at what time for 20 hours a day, he has strict requirements for himself.

This kind of training is not something that ordinary people can stick to, and many people can't even keep a diary for long, let alone such perverted training tables and recipes.

However, the Nets' three point guards, Jeremy Lin, follows Nash every day for an enhanced version of his workout, because he feels young and can strengthen Nash's training plan.

Bledsoe's effort is no worse than that of Jeremy Lin, but he is not suitable for Nash's training method, he chooses the same extreme training method as Kobe, getting up early every day to torture himself, training more than Jeremy Lin, Bledsoe thinks his physical fitness can withstand such an intensity of training.

But what about Yi Jianlian? He is not lazy, he is never late for training, what he does every day is to practice with the team, and when the training is over, he goes home and does not go to nightclubs, but how can such a decent performance make the Zen master take a look?

Jeremy Lin is working harder, Bledsoe is training harder, and even Lopez is training harder, so if you can't work as hard as these teammates, how can the coach give you a special opportunity?

In the eyes of the Zen master, Yi Jianlian's talent is definitely better than Jeremy Lin, and better than Humphries, but in the future, Jeremy Lin and Humphries may both be able to gain a foothold in the NBA, but it is difficult for the better talent to get another contract that exceeds the base salary after the rookie contract ends.

Back to the game, after Ji Guoyi came on the court, he immediately received Maddie's second pass, made a quick shot from the middle distance, and sent the basketball into the frame before the dead panda assisted in defense.

Staples Arena immediately gave the fox brother a fierce cheer, Ji Guoyi was obviously compared to the Giant Panda in the first quarter today, if they were still on the same team, this would naturally be nothing, but now the Panda brother is no longer a Clippers player, which naturally makes Clippers fans feel anxious.

Ji Guoyi also found out after the first quarter of the game that he and the dead panda didn't seem to be cost-effective, because the guy's attack area was closer to the basket, but he was closer to the outside. The dead panda can affect his shooting and penetration, but it is difficult for him to resist the dead panda's strong attack in the low post.

"It's no wonder Nowitzki, Garnett, and Duncan rarely die directly, it seems that I am still young."

Ji Guozhi found an excuse for himself to avoid the giant panda, so some soft eggs may not be really soft, they are likely to be shameless, such as this fox. (To be continued......)
