“DEFENSE！ DEFENSE！ DEFENSE！ DEFENSE！！ ”

In Staples Arena, Clippers fans, or rather proud Los Angeles fans, are cheering for the home team.

In the whole stadium, the camera lens can be scanned casually, and you can see several celebrities. The ball market in Los Angeles is so hot, and there are so many celebrities on the scene.

For this reason, it is very difficult to have scenes like the White Sea of the Kings and the Yellow Storm in Oakland in Los Angeles - ordinary fans can say that you can't ask these celebrities to take off their suits and dresses one by one and wear uniform fan T-shirts, right?

But this seemingly lazy atmosphere doesn't mean that Staples isn't the home of the devil.

"The cheers of the fans are rising higher and higher, and the game has entered the white-hot stage!"

On the side of the commentary stage, Smith looked at the excited appearance of the fans in the audience, desperately searching in his memory library, and couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen the fans in Los Angeles, so crazy "unanimous to the outside".

The last time I saw such a scene, I'm afraid it had to be the yellow-green war that year, right??

Coincidentally, the last time I encountered such a grand scene was in 2002.

The opponent of the Lakers that year was also an Imperial City Janissary wearing a purple jersey.

Sacramento, King.

"Huh!"

“YES！！”

On the court, Paul used Jordan Jr.'s cover to make a false facsimile shot after giving up a step of space. Griffin's cut drew too much attention from the Kings' defense, and when Paul hit a shot, Westbrook was still looking for Griffin's position and preparing to break the ball.

"Attention attention!! Focus!! Gu Yu stretched out his hand and slapped the back of Wei Shao's head fiercely.

"Oh, I know!" Wei Shao was annoyed, and said impatiently: "Damn, his ball is too weird, I have to guard against it!" ”

This is Paul's greatest power.

His eerily fast ball and frightening precision of his passing are unbelievable to any opponent.

And if you pay too much attention to his passing, then when the queen bee poison needle is revealed, it will be the moment when the back of your neck is cold and blood is flying.

"Good shot!!" In the stands, even the Los Angeles fans who came to the court because of the Lakers began to cheer for the Clippers sincerely.

Of course, this is not only because the Clippers are really good-looking, beautiful, and gorgeous, but also because the opponent this time, the King, is precisely one of the Lakers' former mortal enemies.

The game had come to the middle of the third quarter, and the score of the two sides was very tight, 60-60, back to the same running line.

This kind of scoring data is relatively normal for the Clippers, although in people's minds, the Clippers seem to be a track and field team with a strong and gorgeous offense and relying on fast offense.

But in fact, as long as you pay more attention to the Clippers' game, it is not difficult to find that the actual style of the Clippers is just the opposite, and defense is the foundation of their team.

"Back to that topic: how much does a strong point guard add to a team's defense?"

On the side of the commentary stage, Barkley spoke: "Kidd and Paul are both core point guards who are super strong defensively, their passes are really sharp, and their breakthroughs are really eye-catching. But their defense is what makes their team a winning general. ”

"That's right, a point guard who defends well can change the defensive style of an entire team." Smith nodded: "The defense of the point guard is the first barrier for a team's defense. If the point guard doesn't defend well and is easily targeted, then the whole team has to pay for the point guard's defense. Everyone has to devote a part of their energy to help the point guard limit the opposing point guard. In this way, the big picture of these core point guards will play a huge role, using the opponent's defensive attention to distribute the ball to their teammates in a timely manner and assist their teammates to complete the score. ”

Back to half-time, Paul's eyes swept the scoreboard, and then fell, staring at Wei Shao's every move.

Be sure to hold Wei Shao.

Paul knows very well that Gu Yu is powerful, unbeatable one-on-one, and Gu Yu belongs to the kind of terrifying scoring maniac who lets him score, and he can really beat you to death directly.

But if only Gu Yu is opened, the team still has such a glimmer of life, maybe everyone feels good and can compete with Gu Yu for a while.

But if Wei Shao also opens it, then the game will definitely be beaten.

"Defensive !!"

Thinking so, Paul roared angrily, took the lead, and rushed forward in front of Wei Shao, with his hands outstretched, concentrating on defense.

"Yes!!"

The Clippers players responded in unison, while stepping forward to bite the Kings' steps without giving them any space.

Of course, on Gu Yu's side, there was nothing to do but pray.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Wei Shao seemed quite impatient in possession of the ball, and successive attempts to change direction were unsuccessful, and Paul was still stuck to his eyes like a dogskin plaster. This made Wei Shao's heart very angry, the more he was restricted, the more he wanted to change his way to break through and beat Paul to the head and break the bloodstream.

But where is it that Paul's multi-year No. 1 defensive lineup can be broken so easily? No matter how many changes Wei Shao makes, Paul just took advantage of Wei Shao's inaccuracy in the middle distance today, released half a step of space, and bit Wei Shao's breakthrough route and did not let go, which made Wei Shao very uncomfortable.

“FXXK！”

Listening to Wei Shao's angry scolding, watching time pass little by little, watching Wei Shao's more and more impatient dribbling, but he never found a breakthrough.

Paul didn't feel happy in his heart.

It's weird.

After another attempt to prevent Wei Shao's breakthrough, Paul's eyes quickly glanced to the side.

Gu Yu stood on the weak side, his hands on his hips, and he had no intention of moving.

Why?

Paul couldn't figure it out.

Why didn't Wei Shao pass the ball to his cousin singles at this time?

The time soon came to count down to the seconds, and Wei Shao, who was stabbed by Paul's defense, couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly pulled out a jump shot.

But as soon as the ball was shot, Wei Shao couldn't help but scold.

"It's short again, ahhh!!hh

"Dang", the basketball smashed in the front of the basket, Bynum was not on the court, Jordan Jr. had an absolute advantage under the basket, blocked McGee's way with his back, jumped high and opened his hand to collect it, and took the ball off directly.

"It's weird!" On the side of the commentary table, Smith couldn't understand it, and frowned and said: "I can't understand the king's tactical arrangement today, in that situation just now, shouldn't it be quickly transferred to the weak side to my cousin and let my cousin solve the problem?" Why is the king insisting on fighting Wei Shao today? How many pieces of fine iron have been beaten out, and the basket is going to be smashed! ”

On the technical statistics list in his hand, Wei Shao's hit rate was less than 30 percent, but the number of shots surpassed Gu Yu and ranked the highest in the team.

And what made Smith even more incomprehensible was that according to Gu Yu's usual stinky temper, seeing Wei Shao fighting like this, he would definitely go up to an ear scraper to make Wei Shao sober up. But today, Gu Yu has been standing aside and watching the play, and he has no intention of scolding his mother at all, which is ...... How do you look at this, it's not normal.

"Because of the Clippers' defense." Ba Fat shook his head next to him and said: "The Clippers have done a very strict job of restricting my cousin today, Barnes is guarding and resolutely squeezing through the cover, and he doesn't give the slightest chance to make a move." At the same time, the big man will also raise a little bit, and before Barnes is fully in place, he will delay the other side of his cousin and not give him a chance to catch the ball. THIS IS THE METHOD OF DEFENDING SCORERS AT THE LEVEL OF KOBE, MADDY, MICHAEL, AND IVERSON BACK THEN, TYPICAL SHO-AND-RECOVER. When there is no ball on the weak side, there is also a PINCH pinch, which can be said to be the highest standard defensive treatment in the world. ”

And in the case that it is really unstoppable, even if the cousin breaks through the double blockade on the outside and gets the ball, the Clippers will let everyone go as soon as possible and do their best to cover the cousin so that he does not have room to shoot easily. You see that most of the points my cousin got today are offensive and defensive conversions, and a very small part of them are singles, and the shooting space has been reduced to the limit, and a fart can be blocked. ”

Well...... Sir Charles, your words are not rough, but they are also a little too rough......

"That's true, but ......" Smith agrees with Barkley's judgment of the Clippers' defensive tactics, but still feels weird in his heart: "But my cousin has been receiving a similar level of high-intensity targeted defense all season, which team has really limited him?" Nope! My cousin's current strength is no longer at a level that can be solved by defensive tactics, and it is impossible to restrict my cousin without a LeBron and a Chen Mu in the team. Why is my cousin's attack so low today?? ”

This is also a common question in the minds of many people, to say that the Clippers suddenly put on this defensive style, and the Kings did not respond in time at the beginning, it is understandable.

But the problem is that this has reached the third quarter, and Phil Jackson's tactical reserves, it is impossible to only have such a point, and it is necessary to make adjustments, which have already been done, and it is impossible to leave the problem until now.

But look at Phil Jackson's old god sitting on the bench watching the play, it doesn't look like he wants to solve the problem at all.

King, what the hell is he planning??

"Bang!!"

On the court, the Clippers once again completed the cooperation, Paul did not look at the pass and threw the ball high during the beautiful march, Griffin turned and ran over Green, jumped high and grabbed the ball in the air with both hands, and completed a top ten-level air catch dunk.

“YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH——！！”

This violent dunk once again ignited the enthusiasm of Clippers fans, and the cheers resounded in the sky, giving a headache to a very small number of away fans.

And when the King passed the half again, once again pulled away with all the players, and singled out Paul for Wei Shao, finally someone couldn't help it.

"Neurotic?? How long will this kind of nonsense offensive tactics be fought!! A King fan wearing a Gu Yu jersey stood up and shouted angrily: "Give the ball to your cousin, won't the problem be solved?" ”

Well......?

This voice suddenly woke up a nerve in Paul's brain.

A feeling of great foreboding, and great humiliation, rose in Paul's heart.

Kings, Phil Jackson, cousin......

His eyes swept to Gu Yu, the Forked Hand Heavenly King on the other side, and Paul's teeth gritted.

Do you think ......

“…… Sou! ”

Just for a moment.

Paul's attention left Wei Shao, for a moment.

Wei Shao, disappeared directly from his eyes without a trace.
