Chapter 69: Pressing the Formation

Denagro is angry!

It was just a steal at the beginning, that was the team's defenselessness against Yang Yi, but what happened to the second steal? The ball that could have played steadily was cut off like this under Yang Yi's two steals.

The morale of the Clippers was crushed like this, and they didn't have a temper at all. De Nagro was already wondering whether to call a timeout, and the Clippers players were taken aback by Young, and he couldn't be the same.

"Be steady, don't give the other party a chance." De Nagro stood on the sidelines and roared loudly.

The head coach's tone was very unhappy, and the Clippers players on the court were even more unhappy. No one expected that the fat man, who usually had a strong attack power, would have this hand, which caught them off guard.

As the de facto leader of the Clippers, Paul was very angry, but he didn't show it. Yang Yineng did not expect him to make a steal in the opening game, but his teammates and head coach were not happy to be intimidated like this.

It's a playoff game, anything can happen. Not to mention that it was only two steals, it was not a big deal to be robbed three or four times, and now it is just the beginning, and the Clippers are only 4 points behind, what is there to be angry about?

As long as they can play steadily, they don't have a lot of strength with the Pelicans, didn't they beat the Pelicans in the last game?

Paul nodded to the manager, signaling that he understood. Come to think of it, he still carried out the instructions of the head coach to the letter. He follows the manager's instructions to direct his teammates to run and execute tactics.

The tension of the Clippers finally calmed down under the pressure of De Nagro, and their attention was highly focused, and they did not give Yang another chance to steal for a short time.

As the initiator, Yang Yi has no idea about the changes of the Clippers, although the data eye is easy to use, it is difficult to have a chance to steal when the opponent is closely defended. However, the role of the data eye is much more than that, steals are just an additional function, which is the performance of Young's actions when he sees the opportunity, and the biggest role is to monitor the data of Clippers players, especially on the defensive end.

In the first quarter, there were no accidents except for Yang Yi's continuous steals at the beginning, and the two teams were completely confrontational with one board and one eye.

The Pelicans had a good hand today, holding that advantage until the end of the first quarter since Yang took a four-point lead in the opening period.

At 32:26, this was the answer sheet handed in by the Pelicans in the first quarter, and they temporarily led the Clippers by six points.

The rhythm of the second quarter is Gordon vs. Griffin, the Pelicans focus on the space from the outside to the restricted area, and occasionally rush to the restricted area to play; The Clippers mainly play the inside, with Paul threading the needle and Griffin finishing the ball.

It's just that the Pelicans are getting more and more ferocious, and Clippers head coach De Nagro has never been able to find a solution. That's what the Pelicans Youth are, as long as they find their offensive rhythm, they can tirelessly pull down the league's best team.

By the end of the first half, the difference between the two teams had reached double digits. At 61:47, the Pelicans led by 14 points.

The double-digit point difference is a big threat to the Clippers, and the most important thing is that the Pelicans have the spirit of the regular season again, and they will fight to the death if they catch it. De Nagro called several timeouts in the first half, but still couldn't effectively stop the Pelicans' ferocious offense.

"Coach Zhang, the Pelicans' offense is very smooth, De Nagro has made several adjustments, but unfortunately failed to succeed once, it seems that the Pelicans have hope to win today's game!" In the penguin live broadcast room, Yang Yi pointed to the bright red score on the screen and said to Zhang Li with a smile.

"Hehe, that's not for sure, if the Clippers suddenly broke out in the second half, this game still has to be played. But if they can't think of a good way to stop the youth army from afar, then the Clippers will hang in the air. ”

After a pause, Zhang Li continued: "The most critical first half Yang Yi didn't make much effort, except for the two steals at the beginning, he completely let his teammates play. We all know the combat effectiveness of this little guy, and the super combat power of 52 points in a single quarter is not a joke. ”

Yang Yi said: "This is true, if Yang Yi really breaks out, it is estimated that one person can solve the Clippers, his explosiveness is too terrifying." ”

……

The commentary from a great distance didn't have the slightest effect on the two teams in Los Angeles, but it was true that the atmosphere on the Clippers was not good. In addition to eating to replenish the players' energy, only the manager's voice echoes in the home team's dressing room.

"In the second half, we had to keep the score from catching up, but also to prevent The One from exploding. These are all noteworthy, and our tactics should be played like this......"

De Nagro's voice echoed in the dressing room, and his players listened attentively. They all understand the significance of this game, and if they really let the Pelicans get the match point, they will be in danger.

Once the score is tied at 3:1, the amount of energy they need to put in will increase exponentially.

You must know that once the opponent gets the match point, in addition to the great effort on the field, the mental pressure is also unbearable for the players. While they are chasing victory, they also have to be on the lookout for the game, fearing that the series will be over if they are not careful.

In contrast to the tense atmosphere in the home locker room, the away locker room is a far cry, with the noise of Pelicans players being heard even from a distance.

"Monty, do you care about them?" Seeing that the players didn't rest much and were noisy, tactical coach Randy Eyas asked Williams.

He was worried that if the players didn't rest well, it would be difficult to be happy and sad in the second half.

"It's okay, just let them relax. These little guys won't be so careless after a defeat, and besides, isn't The One still there? He's there to support his teammates a lot, and we're still 14 points ahead, aren't we? Williams said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with the team's performance, but even more satisfied with Yang Yi's performance. In the first half, Yang Yi not only took the lead, but also created offensive space for his teammates, but he did not play much attack power himself. However, it is precisely because of this that Williams is satisfied, in his opinion, Yang Yi has gradually changed from a general who charges into battle to a commander of the army.

This is a good thing, with Yang Yi pressing the formation, other players can attack with peace of mind. Don't think it's nothing, only if you have experienced it yourself can you know that there are players who are good at pressing.

The players' minds relaxed, and the attack power naturally came up. Just by looking at Gordon's ability to contend with Griffin in the second quarter, the Clippers have always been uneasy about Yang Yi and used heavy forces against him. However, Yang Yi only played a leading role, and many times the end of the ball was handed over to his teammates to complete.
