195. Being led by the nose
Griffin finally understood why Little Jordan's body, which was not much weaker than him, was hit like a swaying kite by Liu Ren, the strength of this little man was too terrifying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Ren was a little surprised, but he had expected that he would not be able to take advantage of the collision with Griffin, and immediately accelerated again after bounced off, the strength Liu Ren was not stronger than Griffin, but the speed and the second explosive power after the outbreak Liu Ren was much stronger than Griffin.
Griffin was still breathing, and Liu Ren had already re-accelerated from him to the inside.
On the Clippers' side, Jamison rushed directly out of the three-second zone and blocked Liu Ren on the right side of the free throw line, he didn't want to stay inside and be in the background.
Liu Ren passed the ball from under Jamison's arm to Thackeray, who bounced the matchbox and pressed the ball into the basket with both hands.
The fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly when they saw Thackeray score, and it can be seen that Thackeray is really popular with the fans now.
The Clippers play more simply and clearly, with the three "outsiders" all singles, and Tekoglu and Jamison both play a role in opening up space.
The Clippers' No. 1 scorer was Griffin, who singled Liu Ren.
When a big forward with Griffin's body plays alone in the high post, the league can prevent his interior line from less than one hand, prevent him from speeding you over, and he can shoot if he doesn't come out.
Thanks to Liu Ren's strong body and speed faster than Griffin, he was able to block Griffin's tank-like breakthrough.
However, Griffin still hit a long-range shot on Liu Ren's head.
Griffin's shooting action is too bizarre, when others shoot, they shoot at the highest point of the jump, and Liu Ren also defends like this.
But Griffin was different, he only lifted the ball to his head when he jumped to the highest point, and only threw the ball halfway down when it started to fall.
Previously, a shooting coach exposed that Griffin's free throws could not be improved, because his free throw habits were very strange, he almost didn't know how to throw the ball out at the most appropriate time, and he always shot the ball out when the waist and leg strength were not over, and he couldn't control the power at all, and every time he made free throws, the power was too great, resulting in his free throw shooting rate hovering around seventy percent, which was too low for a player with excellent mid-range shooting ability.
But surprisingly, Griffin became unguarded because of this weird habit when shooting, and he shot while his waist and legs were tense when he fell, which offset his shortcomings of excessive strength and became very accurate.
And Griffin's unexpected shooting action is difficult for opponents to guard against, and they don't know when he will shoot.
Liu Ren is like this, when Griffin jumps, he doesn't jump and is afraid that the other party will shoot early, jump and the other party jumps up and doesn't make a move, but throws when he falls in the air, and there is no way to prevent it.
After Liu Ren and Griffin exchanged rounds for a few rounds, Liu Ren felt that this would not work, and he had to think of a way, which would be very bad for the Lakers to maintain a two- to four-point lead for the Clippers.
The Lakers' interior line is dominated by veterans, Gasol and Carman's physical strength is a big problem, and it is a big problem whether they can support them in the fourth quarter, Griffin and Jordan Jr. are both young and strong young men in their 20s, and the game is very bad for the Lakers in the end.
couldn't take care of it, Liu Ren chose the rarest defensive way of the star - going around the front!
Liu Ren, like James in the past two years, was also forced to be anxious, and in the past two years, James was forced to take the position of power forward, and every time he defended Griffin, Gasol and even Howard, he could only use it to go around the front, otherwise he couldn't defend it at all.
Liu Ren got inspiration from James defending Gasol in the last time he played against the Heat, and he defended Griffin around the front!
Speed, agility and even strength Liu Ren did not suffer, and it was a good hindrance to Griffin's catch.
But!
The Clippers have too many people with the ball! Three balls are not enough for them to play!
Griffin can't continue to play singles, and Crawford!
In the face of Nick Young's aggressive but skillful defense, Crawford hit a three-point shot after various street-style dribbles.
Well, this kind of provocative offense is what Crawford does best, and now Nick Young's fighting spirit is fully activated, and he returns a three-pointer in the same position with a more flashy and coquettish move.
Crawford saw Nick Young return one, and thought to himself that this best sixth man can't cure you anymore, so he does it in a more coquettish position.
Will Nick Young be afraid of Crawford? He dared to fight against James, and immediately attacked with a more coquettish dribble and shot.
After Griffin and Liu Ren played against Biao, it was Crawford's turn and Nick Young to play against Biao.
The Lakers were taken away by the Clippers this quarter, and the strategy of the Clippers' offensive assistant coach Kim Terry worked this time, the top coach who once robbed D'Antoni of the Suns' job once again taught D'Antoni to be a man, and in the face of the Lakers' strong bench, he used the method of forcibly turning the rhythm into a one-on-one heads-up, destroying the Lakers' idea of relying on overall strength to overtake the score.
Rivers' assistant coaching team can only be described as luxurious, the five assistant coaches are all head coach level, and they are all excellent head coaches, especially Kim Terry, whose annual salary is as high as 5 million a year, which is higher than when he was the head coach.
Rivers' five assistant coaches add up to more than 10 million, which is no more expensive than this coaching team in the entire four major leagues in the United States, plus Rivers' salary of 10 million a year, the salary of the Clippers coaching staff exceeds 20 million US dollars!
It is said that Sterling, the owner of the Clippers team, was so distressed that he couldn't do it, but he finally got angry, and he said to Rivers that you can spend the money as you like, and he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
The Lakers' goal of relying on the bench to chase points to overtake is gradually drifting away, and before the official timeout in the first seven minutes of the third quarter, the two sides have become a back-and-forth matchup.
After the timeout came back, Liu Ren and Griffin were replaced, and the two sides began to switch to other main players.
The game reverted back to the way it played in the first quarter, with the Clippers using Paul's playmaking skills to play team offense, and the Lakers who met Redick were the ones who were in charge.
Redick was blown out of his mind, as if he had seen his opponent get sixty or seventy points in the post-match statistics.
At this time, D'Antoni has an excellent overall layout but the shortcomings of the on-the-spot command are exposed, the Clippers have Kim Terry, a tricky assistant coach, and the Clippers players are in the best condition again, the Lakers were led by the nose by the Clippers this time, Kobe and Gasol, two veterans, fought hard in the last four minutes of the third quarter, and finally the Clippers stretched the difference to 6 points, and the difference in this game exceeded 5 points for the first time!
