Chapter 41: Best Rookie Showdown
After the end of the winning streak, the players have some loss in their hearts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After all, this is a team-setting streak that is much worse than the streak of other teams, but it is a streak after all.
Old Dunleavy clapped his hands and said, "Okay, losing this game is nothing." Thinking about it, we still have dozens of games to play, and I think everyone should know the strength of the team this year, and the playoffs are no problem at all. But it's a real question of how many rounds we get to in the playoffs, and every playoff is going to win the championship. I'm also hoping to win a championship, the Clippers haven't had a German championship in their history, and if we make history, all the Clippers fans will remember us. ”
Old Dunleavy made the players all fight and come back to life with full blood.
Next, the Clippers are going to challenge the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets have picked a good rookie this year, Chris Paul. Without Liu Su, Paul would have been the best rookie of '05.
Although the quality of the rookie in '05 is not high overall, he is a particularly good point guard. From now on, the rankings are Su, Paul, DeLong, Felton, Martel, Robinson, Ellis, Wright, Salim, Daniel.
These point guards have basically become the team's starters or important rotation players, Paul, Delon, and Felton are now starters, and Liu Su can start if he wants, but for the sake of the team's record, Liu Su gave up for the time being. The rest of the guys basically have a skill set and become important benches, with Martel, Robinson and Ellis all important rebounders.
In the next few years, when these people grow up, they will occupy important roles in some teams, and '05 will also be called the year of the point guard show.
And today, two of the standout point guard shows are going to collide to prove that they are the best.
The first time Liu Su and Paul meet, it will also be the first battle that will determine their lifelong enemies. Two leaders in the same position can't appear in the same team, and they can't even hug their thighs, so they can only be enemies for life.
Paul is 10 cm shorter than Liu Su, and if you want to win against Liu Su, you need to be much stronger than Liu Su, which is the role of height.
Liu Su is still playing in the second quarter, and now Paul is still still immature, and he has some weaknesses in the face of Kassel, and he has suffered from experience. And the Hornets lineup is not strong, if it weren't for Paul's tandem team, the Hornets would be a 10,000-year weak team, and now the Hornets already have the shadow of a strong team, which is the role of a point guard.
In the second quarter, Liu Su came on the court, facing Paul, who had already played a quarter, Liu Su did not work too hard, but Paul still couldn't withstand Liu Su's offensive, the difference in strength between the two was very large, coupled with the height gap and physical strength gap, Paul was replaced after only three minutes.
The Hornets want to protect Paul because that's their hope for rise. After Paul went off the court, the Hornets were even more unable to withstand the Clippers' offense, trailing by 20 points at halftime.
In the third quarter, Paul, who had recovered his strength, finally showed his terrifying side and connected the Hornets very smoothly. Liu Su intends to compete with him in tandem teams, and compared with Paul, Liu Su prefers direct passes and assists, and his ability in tandem is slightly weaker.
Tandem teams and assists are not the same thing, tandem teams do not necessarily have assists, the role played is intangible. Assists don't have to be tandem either, they play a dominant role.
Tandems can have second- and third-level assists, which are not counted as assists, and assists are only recorded as first-level assists, which are passes that avoid defensive strengths until they find a weak point to attack. That's Paul's forte, that's how he played in college, it's a quality of leadership.
And Liu Su is more of an assist, all the games he has played rely on his personal ability to attract bags and clips to create opportunities for teammates to pass and assist, and all his teammates do is to score points at the point guard. Although this makes it easier for teammates to attack, it does not do much to improve the ability of teammates, and is suitable for matching with a receiver like Hamilton.
There is no superiority between the two ways of playing, tandems can be used as a long-term strategy, and assists can be used to improve immediate power. A team like the Hornets needs someone like Paul, and a team like the Clippers needs someone like Liu Su.
In the third quarter, the two started an assist battle, but Liu Su took advantage of the data, getting 12 assists in one quarter, almost one assist in one minute. Although Paul only had 6 assists, he took advantage of the team's scoring, and the Hornets scored 2 more points at 30:28 in the quarter.
Of course, this is also related to the people led by Liu Su, except for Radmanovic who is the starter, everyone else is a substitute, and the starter has only played one quarter and then went down to rest. The Clippers have another 13 people who can fight, except for 4 starters, and the rest of the time is basically reserved for the bench nine.
