Chapter 141: Reimagining Jordan's Law
> Billups still relied on his strong body to directly beat Lin Fei to the inside line! In this way, he beat Lin Fei, which can be described as tried and tested.
Lin Fei simply let go of Billups this time and let Billups in! Billups didn't expect Lin Fei to stop defending, since there was such a situation, Billups was naturally unceremonious, and directly killed the basket in one go!
But as soon as Billups got to the basket, he knew that he had been fooled, and this was simply a pile of people! Don't talk about shooting, it's difficult to pass the ball out if you want to!
At this time, Ax aimed at the time and slapped the ball in Billups' hand hard, and the ball fell directly to the ground, and a big man from the Warriors Clauderson pounced directly, as if he saw gold on the ground! Of course, at this time, Billups also pounced on the ground, Clauderson knew in his heart, he knew that Billups was also pounced on the basketball, so as soon as he touched the ball, he directly pushed the ball, and the ball went directly to the feet of Aix.
Aix receives the ball! At this time, the Clippers knew that the situation was not good, because the Warriors' steal basically meant a successful fast break!
Sure enough, Aix gave the ball directly to Curry, and Lin Fei had already run to the frontcourt, and Curry gave a long pass directly to Curry!
Shooting is something that sometimes needs to be struck while the iron is hot! Lin Fei didn't feel quite good during this time? At this time, giving the ball to Lin Fei is definitely the best choice.
Lin Fei received the ball near the three-point line, and at this time he had two options, one was just like just now. A dunk that rushes straight in, and one is a three-point shot directly here!
There was a little bit of anger in Lin Fei's mind just now, so he chose the former, and at this time. Perhaps the most important thing for the Warriors is to score! Lin Fei is very hit! Directly scared of the ball, three-point shot!
Hit again! Scored 11 points in a row!
The Clippers hurriedly paused! Lin Fei's momentum seems to be out of control! Although Paul and Billups also performed well, they couldn't compete with Lin Fei at all! Lin Fei still looks like he is the absolute ruler on the court!
After all, the Clippers still lack experience against the Warriors! In other words, their playoff experience is relatively lacking compared to teams like the Spurs! At this time, they can't find their direction in the face of the Warriors, how to play this game!
Paul of the Clippers, who came back from a timeout, came on the court while leaving Billups on the court. even used dual point guards in an attempt to counter the Warriors' dual point guard tactics! For now, there have been many teams in the league that have used the two-point guard strategy to fight the Warriors, but none of them have succeeded in the end!
Paul still seems to have a lingering whiff at the Warriors' steals. When he arrived at the front, he passed the ball directly to Billups! Billups took the ball, broke through a step, just pushed Lin Fei away, and directly passed the ball back to Paul. Paul didn't hesitate at all, he took the ball and went directly to the inside, the Warriors' defense just now was still paying attention to Billups, and obviously there was no reaction to Paul's breakthrough! Paul is naturally an easy throw!
The Clippers' offense hasn't been too weak all along! It's just that they ran into the Warriors, who have more offensive firepower! That's probably a good point!
This time. Lin Fei's momentum has not faded yet! After all, in this wave of shockwaves. He only scored 11 points! This will definitely not satisfy Lin Fei's strong appetite!
Curry went straight to the midcourt and handed the ball to Lin Fei. Lin Fei felt that his hand style seemed to be very smooth, and when he received the ball, he opened his hand in the face of Paul and scored another three points! This time, Lin Fei relied on his unparalleled shooting speed, and he didn't even try to open the distance between him and Paul, so he shot directly! This is really bold, because as long as Paul jumps a little higher, he may be able to easily cap Lin Fei's shot! …,
But even if Paul could reach that height, he would never have been able to reach that speed!
Lin Fei's three-point shot was still like a precision missile, directly blasting the basket!
The Clippers are completely out of options!
After Lin Fei's wave of impact, the Warriors directly maintained a 10-point lead! And in this wave of shockwaves, Lin Fei scored 22 points! The invincible side can also be said to be vividly displayed.
At this time, D'Antoni also replaced Lin Fei with peace of mind! After all, this piece of good iron must be used on the blade, and don't waste a little!
10-point advantage, this advantage, even if it is changed to the Spurs, the possibility of overtaking is not very big, because in the league's statistics, when the Warriors have Lin Fei, when they are 10 points ahead, the probability that the opponent can win the game in the end is zero!
However, the Clippers will definitely not give up easily! After all, their such a luxurious lineup is definitely not good-looking!
Vinnidel Nigro dispatched the most attacking lineup, planning to take advantage of Lin Fei's absence to make a crazy impact! It's good to make up a little bit of difference!
The Warriors went through a lot of difficulties at the beginning, and at this time, morale can be said to have reached a high point step by step. And when morale comes together, everything becomes very smooth! By the way, for a team like the Warriors, it may not matter what the lineup is, because whether it is the lineup or the bench lineup, as long as the Warriors are "crazy", no one in the league can stop them!
The result of the competition was just as many people expected! The Warriors took the first game and grabbed home-court advantage! The score of both teams was 158:150. And Lin Fei didn't play again after that wave of impact! The whole court relied on several waves of impact and scored 40 points! But the hits reached an absolutely incredible 80 percent! And that also includes his three points!
However, the Warriors are not aiming for home-court advantage! For a team like the Clippers, they may be running for two words - sweep! After all, they all pulled back 4 games in a row in a 0:3 situation, achieving an alternative sweep against the Spurs with the best record in the league, so naturally they will not "mind" that there are few Clippers!
"Obviously. Something went wrong with our defense! I can't defend Lin Fei, maybe I can explain this, but we can't defend anyone on the Warriors! None of them were able to score easily in front of us! Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro said in his post-game press conference!
"For this game. The city of Los Angeles can't accept it! "The news says so much about the Clippers' game!
As a brother team in the same city, the Los Angeles Lakers at this time also reached the Western Conference semifinals! Their upcoming clash is the Thunder! When they learned about the Clippers' game, all the players almost had the same remark, "Maybe we're the only team that can win against the Warriors!" This is perhaps the last thing the Clippers want to hear, for decades, the Clippers have basically played the role of accompanying the prince to study, and this is basically because of the Lakers' outstanding history, and the Clippers seem to be nothing! But later. They won the Griffin in the draft! This player, known as the "White Monster", used his super explosiveness and explosive dunk to let the Clippers see the hope of being anti-guest-oriented. They also look forward to one day being able to successfully counterattack and become the "prince" of the city of Los Angeles.
But now, it looks like the Clippers have a long way to go!
The Clippers players are obviously hard to accept this loss! They really can't accept that they can't defeat a warrior team without Lin Fei! They don't mind. After Lin Fei came on the court, the difference between the two teams was stretched to 10 points, and what they minded was that after Lin Fei was off the court. They still can't close the score! …,
At this time, Billups, who was at the level of big brother, found head coach Vinnidel Nigro. He wants to admonish.
'We've got a good attack, maybe. The problem is still our defense! I think we can learn from the defense of the Pistons back then," Billups said, this guy has been on many teams, but relatively speaking, the best team he has ever stayed on was the Pistons that year, and the Pistons won the championship that year, relying on defense!
"Are you talking about the pistons and five tigers? Bell, Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Rashid Wallace and Prince? ”
"Nope! I'm talking about the Pistons at their peak, and I'm talking about the Pistons led by Thomas! The piston of '04 may not be able to be replicated! Billups answered!
"What do you mean?"
"We may be able to use Jordan's Law again, we need to defend Lin Fei in that way!"
"It's not like no team has used this, Lin Fei's speed is very fast, and it is difficult for opponents to foul, let alone make physical contact with him!"
"But he's also weak! Even if any player touches him, he will fall! Perhaps the most important thing we need to do is confine him to the floor! ”
"On the floor! However, we may need a fierce collision, and a person may be able to be thrown away from him! But if there is a group of people, he will go wherever he goes. Someone will be able to collide! We're going to make him lie on the floor and can't get up! ”
"Oh my God! You are definitely talking in your dreams, and at that time, the Bad Boy Army may be more difficult for us to replicate, and we can't achieve the same combination of ability and bravado as they do. They can do it one minute to show off their flashy skills, and the next minute they will deliver a fatal blow. Obviously we're not at that level!
"Yes! I've been in contact with a couple of players at the time and they are definitely a group of players who love the game and understand team spirit. I know that, but I want you to understand that our team has done it now! Yes, they have Thomas, but we also have Paul, they have center Bill Ranbill, and we have Griffin! Ranbir can shoot jumpers and break through well, but our Griffin also has a strong interior attack and shooting ability! Yes! The Pistons that year also included young John Sully and Dennis Rodman, as well as James Edwards. But we also have Jordan, Crawford, and players like me! Yes, Dumas and Rodman were both named to the league's best defensive team that year, and our team, Paul and Griffin, were all in the best team! Their defense is better than ours, but our offense is better than theirs, they can kill Jordan, maybe we can also kill Lin Fei now! ”
"It's a wonderful idea, but it's not realistic! The rules of basketball have changed a lot. It simply can't be the same as it was back then! Besides, the biggest difference is that Lin Fei is not Jordan, and we didn't have players from the Pistons team at that time! ”
"But. We might be able to do better! I think it may be necessary to figure it out with your coaching team! "Billups speaks so neatly, even a little bit of a coach! It seems that if he officially retires, it is estimated that he can still be a coach!
Vinnie Del Nigro thinks about it, what Billups said is indeed very reasonable, what he said is not impossible, everyone has weaknesses. Lin Fei's weakness is that his physical fitness is very weak, and his physical confrontation ability is almost negligible! If you can use this point well, you can definitely beat the Warriors! But now the question is, how can we implement Jordan's law well! …,
Now. There is another saying, that is, in fact, the essence of the "Jordan's Rule" is actually a joint defense tactic, in order to better defend Jordan, repeatedly study Jordan's playing habits, summarize his habitual actions in different positions on the court, and calculate the probability of him using different playing styles. Thus using a variety of methods. All kinds of methods are used to make Jordan uncomfortable with the game. No matter where Jordan is holding the ball, defenders have to wrap it up, forcing the lethal Jordan to give up his individual offense. If Jordan gets out of defense and rushes to the basket. Then Jordan must be made to pay some price. If Jordan has the ball at the top of the arc, try to force him to move to the left and make a wrap. If Jordan has the ball on the left side. The defender at the top of the arc will help defend as soon as possible. If Jordan holds the ball on the right side, he gradually forms a perimeter net against Jordan. They did everything possible to push Jordan into a corner before he could get into range. Specifically. Pistons guard Joe? Dumas did his best to keep an eye on Jordan, and another defender, Isiah? Thomas is ready to interfere with Jordan's rhythm at any time, while the inside lineman and others such as Ranbier and Rodman are ready to make up for the inside and pack at any time. Even, Daley, the maker of Jordan's rule, told the players that whenever Jordan passed by him, he had to push him. If Jordan wants to cut through the pick-and-roll, then grab him. Later, Daley said that he was not instigating the players to use dirty methods, but just hoped to use physical contact to make Jordan consume his physical strength as quickly as possible.
Do these methods really work, and I think they work, for the Clippers right now? As a head coach, it's impossible not to study Jordan's Rule! Vinnidel Nigro must have had his own understanding on the basis of his predecessors. Now, even if the Pistons want to adopt Jordan's rule, they may have to solve two problems, one may be Lin Fei's speed, and the other is that Lin Fei's range is too long! These two points, even Jordan, cannot be compared with Lin Fei!
Vinny Del Negro has collected a lot of footage of the Pistons and Bulls games that year! You know, there are a lot of competitions like this! The regular season of the two teams is not counted for the time being, and they have directly met 4 times in the playoffs alone! Enough Vinnie del Nigro reference!
Vinnidel Nigro studied almost all night! It's kind of a little bit of an eyebrow! After all, Vinnidel Nigro is far from a great coach! He still has a lot to learn, and his ability to control the Clippers may not be enough, but perhaps few people are more diligent than him!
At this time, Lin Fei may be far from realizing that the Clippers are studying Jordan's law! If the Clippers can really improve this Jordan rule and apply it to defend Lin Fei, the consequences are hard to imagine! Because Jordan's rule is not only a restriction on Lin Fei's play, but may also be harmful to Lin Fei's body! Especially for Lin Fei now, his ankle is definitely a big hidden danger, he doesn't have much confidence in his ankle, although Li Tuo has said that at least he can hold out for a period of time without any problems, but Lin Fei's heart is always hanging! At least there is a shadow!
Vinny Del Nigro directly discussed how to defend Lin Fei to the Clippers players the next day! When he uttered the words Jordan's Rule, almost all of the Clippers players looked a little unbelievable! One is that they can't play like a Pistons team like that, none of them can play like Thomas, Lambir, Rodman, Duhon, and the other reason may be that if the Jordan rule is to be adopted, many of the Clippers' tactics may need to be rehearsed, which is useful for the game at hand? You know, a temporary change of formation can be described as a taboo for soldiers! Billups obviously won't be surprised, though! With his "internal response" as a coach in today's Clippers, maybe many things will become quite easy!
After all, the Clippers are still an offensive team, and there are many defensive methods that they simply can't use! But for the sake of the competition, they can only practice reluctantly!
The Clippers have changed their defensive style, and the Warriors have almost no news at all! As the saying goes, knowing each other and knowing oneself is invincible! That might not be good for the Warriors! However, don't forget that the Warriors have always been what kind of team they are, they never care about the way the opponent defends, they always focus on their own offense! (To be continued......)
