Chapter 151: One Win and One Loss
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Jazz were still on the full main lineup, but they played too long in the third quarter, and their physical strength could no longer keep up with the speed of the Clippers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although Liu Su was running on the court in the third quarter, he had recovered a lot during the break, so he immediately accelerated his offensive speed after coming on the court, and he knew that the Jazz team's physical strength was definitely not as sufficient as his.
Identifying the physical strength of the Jazz team, Liu Su tried to consume their physical strength. Playing fast offense is not counted, when defending, Liu Su started to defend against Delong in the backcourt and pressed all over the court.
The Clippers launched a full-court press, and the Jazz's physical exertion accelerated. After looking at Liu Su's choice, the old Dunleavy on the sidelines nodded with satisfaction, now he and Liu Su can always think of going together, and the cooperation is quite tacit.
The Jazz's physical exertion was severe, and by the sixth minute, the main players were no longer able to run. The Jazz reluctantly replaced the main team and replaced the bench to play for a while.
Taking advantage of the Jazz's main force to get off the court, Liu Su hurried up time to pull the score away. The Jazz bench is the opponent of the Clippers' main team, and the score was stretched to 13 points in less than three minutes, with only three minutes left, and it was useless for the Jazz's main force to come up.
With a sigh, the Jazz gave up the game and did not change to the main force again, which can be regarded as admitting defeat. With two minutes left in the game, Dunleavy Sr. also replaced the main team to give them a little more time to rest.
At 116:101, the Clippers won by 15 points.
Winning one game on the road, the situation of the game was in the Clippers' favor, and the pressure was on the Jazz's side. Even if both teams win at home, the Clippers will win.
The next day, the second race began.
The Jazz learned the lesson of Game 1 by splitting Deron and Fisher and leaving Oku and Kirilenko on the court to keep the firepower on the court.
Harplin, Gordon, Brewer and Millsap were also used separately to ensure that the firepower of the two lineups was not reduced.
This time Liu Su returned to the No. 2 position, and Mobley proved that his body is still not very good, and playing time is not guaranteed. And Mobley also revealed that he had the idea of retiring after the end of this season, otherwise Dunleavy Sr. might have to trade him.
If the Clippers are still the same Clippers, Mobley can play another season or two. But now that the Clippers want to win the championship, they can't keep a patient like Mobley, and the reason why Mobley can't play is that Mobley is not worth occupying such a big contract, and his contract is much higher than Liu Su.
The Clippers now have two high-paid and low-performance players, and apart from Mobley, there is only Webber. However, Webb's contract expires next season, and his health is not very good, so he can only play on a veteran contract. The elder Dunleavy was very interested in Webb's game experience and wanted to keep him for a season or two to help with the interior line.
In the first quarter, the Jazz went to Oku, Boozer, Brewer, Gordon Girisek, and Delon. This lineup is a little weak at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, but the offensive power is not weak, and Delon and Boozer alone can lead the Jazz's offense.
The Clippers' lineup has also changed, Liu Su returned to the No. 2 position, Kassel at the No. 1 position, and Ryan Gomez at the No. 3 position.
In the first quarter, the Jazz drove Delon and Boozer to block and maintain the score and not let the Clippers fall too far. In the seventh minute, Kirilenko was brought on to strengthen the attack and defense.
As one of the few players to reach 10 blocks in a single game, Kirilenko's defensive ability is still very good. As soon as he got on the pitch, Kirilenko gave Ryan Gomez a dismount and made a steal from him.
Dunleavy Sr. immediately replaced Rose and asked him to defend Kirilenko and ensure the Clippers' defense.
However, this game Kirilenko was really against the sky, and after Rose came up, he was beaten twice in a row, and then he was shot a three-pointer head-on.
Seeing that Kirilenko's hand was hot, old Dunleavy immediately arranged for David Lee to make up for it. But in this way, Boozer will be leaked, but you can't let Boozer vacant! Kaman continued to make up the defense, and then Oku was empty.
One Kirilenko messed up the Clippers' defense. Liu Su saw that this was not going to work, and he personally went over to help defend Kirilenko. Recognize that you can't put Gordon and you can't put Kirilenko, Kirilenko is in his prime, and there is no problem in getting three or forty points.
As for Gordon, don't worry too much, his ability is not very strong, and he averages seven or eight points per game, even if he is empty in the whole court, he will only score more than 20 points. Coupled with the speed of Liu Su's defense, many of Gordon's shots have been affected, and there are few vacant opportunities at all.
However, since Liu Su's energy is put on defense, there is less effort to attack. But fortunately, the Clippers still have Cassel to organize the offense, and he also cooperates well with David Lee, and occasionally he can play with Kaman.
Carman's mid-range shot is not David Li Zhun, but he is not a vegetarian, he dares to shoot in the face of Delong, but Delong can't reach basketball, which is equivalent to transparency.
The difference remained at 7 points, which was scored after Kirilenko's outburst, and the Jazz maintained these 7 points until the end of the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Jazz replaced Boozer with Oku and Delon for Millsap, Fisher and Koslin.
Fisher is a player of '96, who has played in the league for 10 years and has a lot of experience in the game, so he has no problem taking him off the bench. And Fisher has stable control of the ball, does not possess the ball, and has a three-point hand, which can shoot key shots.
His only weakness was his slow pace, and Dunleavy Sr. targeted Rajon Rondo for Fisher. Fisher's slow pace is due to his weight, and both he and Delon are power point guards and will certainly be slow in terms of speed.
Fisher controlled the tempo very strongly, and together with Kirilenko, he gradually pulled the score away. Rajon Rondo wanted to chase the score, but he was a little anxious and was caught by Fisher with a lot of chances. Plus Ricky Davis made another mistake, he thought he could still draw with Kirilenko!
As a result, the Clippers collapsed in the second quarter, and the elder Dunleavy hurriedly asked Liu Su to play to stabilize the situation, and Liu Su immediately scored two three-pointers to stabilize the score.
But Liu Su can't be there all the time, but I don't know what's going on today, as long as Liu Su is down, others will be in trouble. It's understandable that a newcomer like Rajon Rondo is in trouble, but even Kassel is out of order.
The old Dunleavy was also very helpless, falling behind by 20 points in the third quarter, and it was useless to let Liu Su play. The elder Dunleavy also let a few substitutes go up to brush up the score, and now he is thinking about what tactics to use in the next game Team Jazz, today's Jazz is really strong.
The Clippers lost, losing by 21 points, which was even bigger than the point difference on the court, leaving fans and the media very puzzled why the two games were so far apart. However, isn't it just the contrast that you have to see! Everything is fixed, what else to see!
