Boom!

A few years ago, Steve Nash, who had grown up for several years with the Dallas Mavericks and gradually became an All-Star level point guard, returned to his glory beginnings, Phoenix. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Suns, who were still bad the previous season, were led by the Son of the Wind and played one of the few gorgeous offenses in NBA history. With the change of rules, the Suns seized the opportunity, and the offensive end was extremely gorgeous and smooth, creating a curtain of running and booming that has influenced future generations for more than ten years.

After the Suns, countless teams began to try to replicate this success, with star point guards, piles of shooters, and the traditional stump type interior line gradually abandoned, and the whole team did its best to push the rapid break, and every offense tried to find an opportunity to shoot in the shortest possible time, and shoot the first time.

This style of play is very popular with fans, and those who have come from the darkest era of iron-blooded defense at the beginning of the 21st century have long since grown tired of the oppressive and terrifying defensive style, and every ball grinding has made people tired.

Nash and his sun stood out as the victors of the times. Despite losing in the playoffs every year, Nash never made it to the Finals even once. But the Suns' run-and-run run has proven to be an absolute success in the regular season.

More importantly, while the performance is good, running and bombing can also greatly promote the box office and attention. Fans like gorgeous offenses, especially passers-by fans, who don't bother to analyze what tactical arrangements and defensive strategies they want to watch the game, what they want to see is offense!

So the Suns rose, the Warriors completed the Black Eight, and the Hornets followed, led by super-rookie Chris Paul, and also played several beautiful seasons.

By last season, the 2010-2011 season, the running boom was at an all-time high. It's not just the regular season teams that continue to adopt this strategy, but even the finals and championship-level teams are trying their best to change.

The Lakers and Celtics, these old-school styles of play, which are mainly based on internal and external combinations, have gradually been abandoned by the times. The new generation of Philadelphia, Heat, and Thunder, under the leadership of star players, have also pushed their offensive rhythm to the extreme.

Among them, Philadelphia and Heat, who had better defense, finally broke into the Finals. Defensive counterattacks again and again, lightning raids again and again, and flying violent dunks again and again, so that this style of play, which was criticized by experts as "can only bring box office but not victory", has completely stood at the highest point of the historical stage.

And at this moment, the Hornets felt the bottleneck of Paul's strategy, the shooter ring, and the interior defensive gate, and began to change.

The Wasps, who are ready to completely rebuild, send Paul out. A team in the City of Angels, a "background team" that has been suppressed by the Lakers for an unknown number of years, stood out among many suitors and managed to get this super point guard.

With Paul alone, without the right staffing, the team still struggles to succeed. After all, it is no longer the era of iron-blooded defense, and you can't just match a few defensive gates and dunks next to Paul to complete the counterattack. The miracle of Jason Kidd is difficult to replicate in this day and age.

So, with Paul and Griffin as the two cornerstones of the future, the Clippers continue to seek change.

Traded from the Mavericks to Caron Butler and got veteran Billups from the Nuggets, the two formed an outside combination that gave Paul a left arm and a right arm.

Griffin, who continues to grow, and Jordan Jr., who got it from the Philadelphia 76ers, became Paul's powerful legs.

As if playing a Transformers combo game, the Clippers management had a fairly clear idea:

Beside Paul, arrange a large number of finishers and defenders, and have more than one "bench brain". As long as Paul continues to perform at his peak level, the Clippers' rise is just around the corner.

"Bang ......!!!"

"It's a violent buckle again! It's a violent buckle again!! Another empty dunk, Chris Paul, amazing!! ”

“WTF……？！！”

In the Sleep Train arena, Kings fans fell silent. On the court in front of him, the Clippers were like a rainbow, and they played like a fish in water after the opening.

The Kings' interior duo of Cousins and Thompson is no slouch for athleticism. But against Griffin and Jordan Jr., it is still slightly inferior.

Not to mention the Kings' sparse outside defense, in the eyes of Paul, Billups, and Butler, it is like a sieve, without any breath.

The outside line was torn apart, the inside line was bombed, and halfway through the first quarter, the Kings seemed to be destroyed.

"That's amazing......!"

On the side of the media seat, Xiao Yu's face was no longer full of confidence at the beginning, watching Gu Yu gasping for breath and being replaced by the coach on the bench, his heart hurt.

"The Clippers did a really good job of defending the hairstyle."

A reporter frowned on the side and said: "The hairstyle brother is empty and running, so let the experienced Billups follow and entangle." And if the Kings create a single opportunity for the hairstyle, they will immediately switch defenses and let Butler, who has a faster foot and better body, catch up. This kind of strategy, I'm afraid to defend Kobe, is just this intensity......! ”

"If you defend Kobe, Kobe breaks through the inside line, and the Clippers inside line will definitely immediately go crazy to make up for the defense. Brother Hairstyle doesn't have that influence for the time being, so don't blow it too much. ”

Another reporter said disdainfully: "Look at his current appearance, this level of defense has been completely unruly by the nuisance, I estimate that after this game, the hairstyle brother will fall off the altar." ”

Altar?

Xiao Yu knew that using this word on Gu Yu was definitely overestimating Gu Yu. At present, Gu Yu has just won his first season honor, and there are still 108,000 miles to go before the so-called altar.

But the reporters are right, as Gu Yu won the Best Sixth Man award and was sent to start by Westfaal, more and more teams will take Gu Yu as the first target to "take special care" when playing against the Kings.

Gu Yu, can he still maintain his scoring efficiency despite the sudden increase in defensive intensity?

Xiao Yu's heart is completely bottomless.

"The hairstylist looks disappointed, so far, he has played six minutes in the first quarter, hit only one of his five shots, and scored two points!"

The on-site commentator said: "Although in some rounds, we seem to have found that the dribbling strength of the hairstyle brother has made great progress. But if you can't complete the current challenge and continue to find your hot hand, this game may become the only starting game of the new season! ”

The game continued, Gu Yu sat on the bench, and the assistant coach Carlil beside him kept saying something to Gu Yu.

"Uh-huh."

Gu Yu's expression was serious, obviously dissatisfied with his previous performance, and nodded from time to time while listening.

Can it be changed?

Gu Yu, can you change your poor performance in this game?

The answer has not yet emerged, and the Clippers have already begun to change players.

"Griffin and Paul are off, Kenyon Martin is on the field, and Mo Williams is on the field!"

The depth of the Clippers' roster is terrifying, and I don't know what kind of magic the team management has used to reinvent the team to this extent in one summer with the little chips in their hands.

The star-studded starting lineup doesn't talk about it, and on the bench, the Clippers have a lot of options.

Backup point guard Mo Williams, who was an All-Star caliber until a few seasons, was the most important guard with a knife next to LeBron before the change in the court. With strong offensive firepower and a skill level at the level of a chaotic master, it is perfect for him to play as a substitute scorer.

In the bench scoring guard position, there are Randy Foye and Nick Young, the former can pass and control the field, and the latter can shoot and shoot, complementing each other.

The bench at the small forward position is relatively weak, and Bobby Simmons, Ryan Gomez, and Bryan Cook are all useless. At the end of the season, almost everyone can guess that the Clippers will definitely do everything they can to strengthen the team's No. 3 spot and prepare for the championship.

However, no one expected that the death of the No. 3 position would always accompany Paul's Clippers career, so that he could never go further, and he was regretted out again and again in the cruel West.

Kenyon Martin, a substitute for the No. 4 position, is not young, but he still has the strength to fight. When trading for Jordan Jr., Reggie Evans, who was robbed with him, can still contribute to the rebounding scramble.

In addition to these players, the Clippers also have potential newcomer Bledsoe, and the whole team is a flyer, and when Paul throws the ball casually, countless figures will rise in the air and dunk the ball into the frame.

“…… Sou! ”

Another defensive counterattack, in the first half of the second quarter of the game, in the full bench stage, Randy Foye made a high-toss pass in the fast break. Kenyon Martin went straight to the basket with all his muscles, caught the ball with both hands in mid-air, and slammed the ball into the basket with a roar.

“BAAAAAAAAAAAM——！！！”

"Roar!!

The basket shook violently, and Martin landed on the ground and made a classic muscle show at the camera, which caused a very small number of Clippers fans at the scene to be excited.

Boom!

A new idea developed on the basis of running and shooting, the Clippers with Paul's super engine, simplified the entire offense to the extreme:

Paul pushes, everyone, fly!

"Pause, pause!!"

On the sidelines, Westphaal couldn't sit still and got up to call a timeout.

"Beep beep! Kings request timeout! ”

The referee blew the whistle, and when the players returned to the sidelines, they looked completely different.

“NICE-WORK！”

The Clippers high-fived each other, holding a double-digit lead, and the first win of the new season seemed to be within reach.

“FXXK……！”

The Kings players were angry and scolded, and many of them fell directly to the ground as soon as they got the water cups handed by the staff, took a sip, and sat down in their seats with resentment in their eyes.

“…… Got it, right? ”

At the same time, on Gu Yu's side, the long-term communication with Carlil has finally come to an end.

"yes, I see."

Gu Yu nodded, got up and began to move his muscles.

"Well, in the next half of the game, the result of this game will be decided. Either they take them away in waves, or we chase them up and beat them up. ”

Westphaal also noticed the situation on Gu Yu's side, and said with a straight face: "Whether you can save the world or not depends on you......!" ”
