Chapter 241: Blue is better than blue
The Nets' performance this season can only be described as terrible, they have won only three of their last 22 games, and even suffered a 10-game losing streak, and the last game was a bit unfortunate to beat the Sunset Lakers in the last game, which is also a bit unfortunate to play the Clippers in Los Angeles.
As soon as the game started, the Clippers began to bombard the Nets' interior offense.
The Nets' interior line, Lopez is a typical and rare core player with strong offense and weak defense, Thaddeus in the fourth position? Young is also a mini insider, and the defensive end is also a weak master, so the Clippers can be said to have completely taken the initiative on the inside.
Coupled with Paul on the outside, whether it is on paper or in actual play, the Nets are a lot weaker.
The head coach of the Nets also understands this, so the strategy is to semi-abandon defense, trying to bridge the gap between the two teams with performance on the offensive end.
Lopez is indeed a superb, a slow defensive mess, but his pace and sense of position on the offensive end are quite sensitive, although other points are limited by the Clippers, he is a good hit to play Jordan Jr. here.
The two teams played about half a quarter, and the Nets trailed by seven points at 9:16, and the two sides entered the rotation time.
The Nets replaced Thaddeus with Italian champion Bargna? Yang, with Wayne? Ellington replaces Joe? Johnson.
The Clippers changed more thoroughly, except for Griffin who remained on the court, the other four positions were replaced, Tang Shuai, Booker, Stephenson, Smith and Aldridge were put on one after another. It was clear that Kassel wanted to finish the race as soon as possible with a quick rotation.
Tang Shuai packed and scanned the Nets' players between the courts, which was about the same as expected. Only Lopez has an exclusive low-post offensive package on the entire Nets team, except for Jack. Everyone else has very few purple bags, and it is reasonable to play such a record so far.
As soon as it came up, the Nets attacked first.
Jack is a very strong guard, although the outside projection ability is average, but his passing and breakthrough is very intimidating, just this round, he cut to Lopez's hand-handed pass to quickly break through to the inside, attracting the Clippers' defense to shrink, a hand-off to the outside Bogdanovic. The latter faced Stephenson's defense and directly hit Yan. Shoot a three-pointer.
Bogdanovic is a typical European player, big, tall, slow, but has a very good three-point shot.
Tang Shuai didn't care much, the Nets always have to score, Stephenson didn't lose his position just now, and Bogdanovic's three-point shot was accurate. It is impossible to shoot such difficult balls one after another, as long as the Clippers smooth out the offense, it is the same as when the main team was on the court just now, the difference in strength is down. The difference will be widened little by little.
With this idea, when it came to the front court, Tang Shuai directly stretched out his hand to signal Griffin to be in the low position. Then he threw the ball straight in.
The Nets' interior defense is weak, and you don't have to look at it to know that. Griffin was still there at this time, and he had to take advantage of that as much as he could.
Griffin's last game against the Rockets was deflated against Morris. This game is full of effort to get back on the field, and after the ball is given in, he directly chisels in.
At this time, it was Banyani who defended Griffin, as a former NBA champion, and now he is mixed to the point of playing as a substitute, which is also a little bleak, and the biggest reason for this is because of his style of play, which is soft in a nutshell, soft offense, soft defense, and the confrontation in the game seems to be the most annoying thing for him.
Griffin smiled heartily at Banyani at this moment.
After these back-to-back hits, he was under the basket in a blink of an eye, squeezing away Banyani to easily score 2 points.
Hollins on the sidelines looked helpless, as the former head coach of the Grizzlies, he used the tough interior line of the black and white heroes, and then used the non-defensive interior line like Lopes and Banyani in the blink of an eye, he really has a feeling that it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.
The Nets' offense, Jack still wants to repeat the old tricks, Stephenson is prepared this time, Tang Shuai also gave enough pressure, this pass was stealed by Booker, Booker advanced it all the way, and gave Tang Shuai who followed him quickly, and Tang Shuai easily won the first 2 points.
With the continuous increase in training, the tacit understanding between Tang Shuai, Brewer, and Booker and other new signings is also slowly increasing.
The two sides played for a while, and Griffin was substituted at the end.
Hollins was relieved to see Griffin off the court, and the Clippers' bench didn't have much low-post offensive ability, which gave the Nets a chance to chase points.
He shouted from the sidelines for his players to step up their defense on the outside.
However, before he finished shouting, he found that something was wrong with the situation, because after the Clippers came over, they did not attack on the outside, but Tang Shuai directly sank to the low position and began to play with his back alone.
He was speechless for a while, this Kassel caught him on the inside defense, and he was ready to do it all the way to the end?
Joe? Johnson was in the Nets' half at this time, and after seeing Tang Shuai start to play back, he was also staring at him.
At this time, it was Wayne who defended Tang Shuai? Ellington.
Ellington is also a homeless man, who has changed teams for five teams in six years, which made it difficult for the Nets to get a bench spot.
This is a player with very obvious characteristics and strengths, with a good three-point shot and mid-range in the offense, but other than that, everything else is weak, and even the defense can only be slightly compensated for by athleticism.
Tang Shuai naturally knows the roots, 3 blue skill packs and a green skill pack, and only a weak team like the Nets can mix up a certain amount of playing time.
After he sank, he went straight inside, and since the power pack was upgraded to purple, he really couldn't be interested in using other techniques against a defender of this level.
Ellington gritted his teeth and wanted to resist Tang Shuai, but the huge gap in strength made him unable to do it at all, and he was forcibly pressed under the basket in the blink of an eye.
Although Tang Shuai didn't use other techniques, he was still observing the Nets' defense, and when he saw that Banyani had the intention of pounced, he suddenly turned around, squeezed Ellington away, and followed a quick shot.
Banyani wanted to pounce on him, but the speed was really slow, after Tang Shuai deliberately shot in advance, he hit Tang Shuai's hand with a "snap", and his voice was quite crisp.
The whistle blew on the sidelines.
The ball was shot in advance, and it was scored, and Tang Shuai easily played 2+1!
The fans at the scene were in an uproar, the ball was played too easily.
However, Tang Shuai didn't seem very excited after scoring, but walked to the free throw line very calmly.
Johnson watched Tang Shuai play 2+1 so easily, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This judgment and power are better than the blue!
