Chapter 91, Almighty God of War - Zhao Yong!!
The Clippers' offense.
Zhao Yong dribbles to the frontcourt.
The Spurs' strategy of defending the Clippers became a joint defense.
If he defends like this, Zhao Yong will not have a chance to play one-on-one, as long as he plays alone, whether it is on the left or right, there will be people from all sides to defend.
Popovich believes that the power of defending Zhao Yong with joint defense is the greatest.
Zhao Yong transferred the ball to Te'o on the other side.
Whether it is the experienced Special Olympics or the current Zhao Yong, they all know how to break the joint defense.
Three-point shooting on both sides, free throw line ball handling or direct offense to cause the baseline to cut and so on
It just needs to be executed by the players.
After two steps in the Special Olympics, he continued to pass to Zhao Yong.
The space between the two stretched quickly, and the Spurs' online defenders Parker and Forbes had to immediately lean towards Zhao Yong's side.
Zhao Yong chose to shoot a three-point shot to crack it.
He dribbled one step back, one step beyond the three-point line, and made a three-point shot with a crotch dribble rhythm adjustment.
Zhao Yong's rhythm is great, and Parker doesn't interfere much with his three-point shot.
In the cheers and cheers of the fans at the scene.
The basketball creates a rainbow.
"Huh!"
Simply into the frame.
2 to 5.
Zhao Yong's three-point shooting is not as long-range as Curry's, but it is no problem to be one step away from the three-point line.
With Zhao Yong's three-point shot, the Spurs' first joint defense was broken.
The cheers of the fans at Staples Arena also kept rising.
"Zhao Yong!
DJ expressed his emotions with a loud shout.
Beverley and Harrell on the sidelines were also jumping excitedly.
If the main force doesn't pull the hips, the substitutes won't be so stressful.
Zhao Yong's presence in the Clippers has directly improved their immediate combat power.
"Zhao Yong has increased his range."
"That's how I voted for him."
"Zhao Yong's three-point adjustment ability is really strong, which caught the Spurs' defense off guard."
"If Zhao Yong increases his range, it will be a higher level of outside firepower for the Clippers."
Fans on the Internet will not question Zhao Yong's three-point ability now.
In that 38-point game, Zhao Yong silenced all the voices that felt that his three points were unreliable.
Then, in recent times, Zhao Yong's three-point shot is also very reliable, and he can often be seen hitting one-on-one singles and stepping back.
In general, in the impression of fans, Zhao Yong is also a super scorer who can be inside and out.
on the field.
Spurs' players are still not emotionally fluctuating.
After Parker dribbles to the front court, he immediately organizes the pass and cuts the ball and runs.
Gayin received the ball on the right and Forbes tried to catch it through Pau Gasol's cover without success.
Parker was always followed by Zhao Yong, and his cut was also blocked by Zhao Yong.
Gayin could only give the ball to Gasol da at the free-throw line.
After Pau Gasol came to the Spurs, his overall state was also declining, averaging only 10 points and 8 rebounds per game, the impact under the basket was much worse, and he couldn't move to play in the face of Jordan Jr.'s defense.
Gasol Jr. opted for a mid-range jumper from the free-throw line.
Little Jordan's reaction to the ball was very fast, jumping up and grazing the basketball.
The trajectory of the basketball changed, and the ball was controlled by Gallinari under the basket.
Gallinari gave the ball to Zhao Yong, who wanted to push back quickly, but the Spurs learned smart this time and didn't give Zhao Yong a chance.
A group of veterans ran back with their lives.
Zhao Yong saw that there was no chance to counterattack, so he gave the ball to Harris on the side.
Harris tried to single-handedly play Gayin, but he was not easy to play at all.
Harris bursts in with a change of direction and makes a pullup jump shot on the right.
Gai Yin gave him a lot of interference.
"Box!"
The basketball smashed on the basket, and little Jordan hurried out.
Zhao Yong signaled to stabilize the attack.
Wait until the lineups of both sides are back apart.
It is still Parker who defends Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong didn't rush into it.
The Spurs' joint defense is waiting for Zhao Yong to play like this.
Zhao Yong called Jordan Jr.'s blocking.
Jordan Jr. came up to cover and blocked Parker.
Jordan Jr. went down after blocking the man, Parker was taken away, and Pau Gasol was left behind.
It's a misalignment.
Although the joint defense avoided being singled to the greatest extent, Zhao Yong still seized the opportunity and mobilized him inside.
Pau Gasol's defense did not pose much of a threat to Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong only used a quick dash to rush past Pau Gasol's left side.
After Zhao Yong rushed into the inside line, Gai Yin and Aldridge immediately came to assist in the defense.
Zhao Yong didn't play by himself, but gave the ball to Harris, who cut in at this time.
After Harris catches the ball, he makes a jumper from close range.
Harris's waist and abdomen strength is still very good, and the consistency of the shot at this distance is very good.
"Box!"
"Huh!"
2 to 7.
The Clippers' offense scored in a row.
Barkley said: "Zhao's passing was beautiful, he sorted out the team's offense. ”
O'Neill said, "Someone's tights are prettier. ”
Barkley didn't really run naked after losing the Clippers' bet against the Trail Blazers.
In order not to arouse public disgust, O'Neill also had Barkley run through a street in flesh-colored tights.
Such a move still made Barkley ridiculed, but his naked running caused a kind of fan onlookers, caused traffic chaos, the LAPD warned, and then TNT was also slammed.
In the end, TNT also told O'Neal and Barkley to rein in and not mess around with any bets.
These gambles, while eye-catching, are a real nuisance for TV administrators.
Zhao Yong also made two phone calls to O'Neill and Barkley in private, and talked to these two celebrities.
The two Su also said euphemistically to Zhao Yong that they wouldn't play so big next time....
on the field.
Spurs' offense.
Gayin plays Harris with the ball.
Pau Gasol takes cover.
Gai Yin dribbles to the right side and breaks.
Jordan Jr.'s rally was a little slower.
Gai Yin has a chance for the middle distance.
Gai Yin pulls up a jumper.
Gai Yin feels good and hits easily.
4 to 7
The Spurs work well together, and they choose the timing of their offense well.
Gai Yin grabbed the point that Jordan Jr. was not easy to defend and easily scored the ball.
The Clippers' offense.
Harris and Te'o flanked their opponents.
Zhao Yong dribbles at the top of the arc to attack.
The Spurs didn't use joint defense, but let Parker entangle Zhao Yong.
Then they consciously defended the outside line of Te'o, ready to wait for Zhao Yong to enter the inside line, and they would frantically attack.
Te'o's three points were not very reliable, and Zhao Yong did not pass it.
He beckoned a bullhorn tactic.
Gallinari was brought up at the same time as Jordan Jr.
Parker was caught and Pau Gasol quickly defended it.
Zhao Yong turned to the right and leaned in.
As soon as Zhao Yong entered the inside line, the Spurs' defense immediately became tense.
Gai Yin, Parker, Gasol, and Aldridge pounced on Zhao Yong at the same time.
If he is under the basket, Zhao Yong may be strong, but is there still some distance from the basket?
Zhao Yong hurriedly threw the ball to Gallinari near the baseline.
Gallinari's catch-and-shoot jumper.
There was no pressure on the pitch.
"Huh!"
4 to 9.
Zhao Yong easily delivered another assist.
Gallinari signaled to Zhao Yong that the ball was well passed.
"Fake, what are you doing?" Popovich was a little speechless about the defensive options of the Spurs' players.
It's true that you want to focus on defending Zhao Yong, but you don't have to defend like this.
Four people attacked, and five people were sent to fight Zhao Yong at the same time.
Such a defense means that the rest of the Clippers are empty, and Zhao Yong not only scores, but also has good passing.
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Zhao Yong's playing style is very reasonable today, and if the Spurs defend like this, they will be in big trouble." ”
Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, the Spurs are obviously too jealous of Zhao Yong's offensive ability, focusing on him defensively, resulting in ignoring his teammates, Zhao Yong has an average of 8 assists per game this season. ”
If it weren't for the drag of those statistics in the first half of the season, Zhao Yong's average assists per game in the season would have been double.
It's a pity that the statistics will not distinguish whether Zhao Yong is before or after the crossing.
"I'll defend it alone, leave it to me, don't use it to flank." Gai Yin said solemnly to his teammates.
The Spurs players were a little skeptical that Gai Yin could prevent it, but they didn't bother to save his face.
Spurs' offense.
Parker gives the ball to Pau Gasol in the low post.
Pau Gasol knew that Jordan Jr. was physically gifted and didn't go toe-to-toe with him.
After a series of back-to-back hits, the fake turn was a false shaking.
Little Jordan was directly shaken.
Pau Gasol with his axial feet unchanged turned to the front again with an easy hook.
"Huh!"
6 to 9
Little Jordan's style of play is like this, no matter how many times I stress to him not to jump easily, he still likes to jump so much.
The Spurs' offensive efficiency is not high, but it can't be said to be low, it can only be said that this is their normal level.
The Spurs are different from other teams with a small-ball style in that they still maintain an inside-based style of attack.
The Clippers' offense is back.
Zhao Yong dribbles to the frontcourt.
Jordan Jr. took cover.
Gai Yin was blocked.
Zhao Yong used the cover to move horizontally on the right side of the high post and mid-range, creating a small gap.
Before Aldridge arrived, Zhao Yong made a shot.
"Box!"
Unfortunately, it didn't go in, and the rebound was picked up by Aldridge.
Spurs' offense.
Aldridge came up to give Parker a pick-and-roll screen.
Zhao Yong was blocked, and Parker hit the ground and passed the ball back to Aldridge.
Zhao Yong quickly made up for Aldridge, but his shot was too high.
Aldridge's shot was steady.
"Huh!"
8 to 9.
The momentum at Staples Arena has dropped a bit.
watched the Clippers play in a hurry, but the score was not much ahead.
The Clippers' offense is back.
Zhao Yong holds the ball on the right side and observes.
Gallinari came up to block Gayin.
Zhao Yong burst in on the right and threw one against Pau Gasol's defense.
"Box!"
The iron is striking again.
But Zhao Yong reacted quickly this time, and he jumped up on the spot.
Pick up the rebound on Pau Gasol's head.
Pau Gasol doesn't jump very high right now, and he can't easily hold the rebound.
After Zhao Yong landed, Pau Gasol and Gai Yin came over at the same time to attack.
Both of them put their hands on Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong didn't pass the ball out, but roared and jumped directly.
"Bang!"
Zhao Yong smashed the two defenses into the air, he lifted off like a helicopter, and then grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it into the basket.
"Box!
”
"Beep!
”
8 to 11.
Zhao Yong dunked the ball and also caused a foul on Pau Gasol.
It's a two-plus-one goal.
"Wow, that's awesome."
"Hit the basket strongly."
"When Zhao Yong gets serious, the Spurs should feel afraid."
"That's how he was detained."
"Zhao Yong's inside ability is really strong, and he feels like he can score when he receives the ball."
"The Spurs' interior can't stop him."
"If Zhao Yong enters the inside line, he will be able to vomit blood from the Spurs."
Zhao Yong stands at the free throw line.
Take a deep breath.
Honestly, the free throw is harder than the dunk just now.
Zhao Yong made a steady move.
"Huh!"
8 to 12.
It's not that Zhao Yong doesn't want to play inside, but there are too many insiders.
And the consumption of playing the inside line is very large, he is just an endpoint, and he cannot mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole team.
It's like Zion.
If Zhao Yong keeps playing inside, then the Clippers will most likely become another Pelican.
Therefore, Zhao Yong is also exploring the way to combine the inside and outside lines to change.
Parker dribbled to the front court and called a stoppage.
Popovich was not satisfied with the defense, and he scolded with a cold face.
"What did you do?"
"He's a point guard, but he's playing two-and-one right in front of you."
"He's not on the outside, he's on the inside."
"Why don't you foul him and pull him down with a ferocity."
Popovich shouted at Aldridge and Pau Gasol that he didn't give the two veterans too much face.
At the Spurs, he has the biggest face.
The Clippers over there.
Zhao Yong high-fived his teammates to celebrate the lead in the score.
Such a score advantage is a psychological advantage for the Clippers.
Throughout the timeout, Rivers didn't stress too much.
Rivers is now a little less in control of the team, and Zhao Yong is basically leading the court.
Rivers' tactical status against Zhao Yong cannot be lowered yet, and everyone knows that the Clippers need to revolve around Zhao.
To put it bluntly, if Rivers and Zhao Yong clashed, he must have left.
Pause back.
Spurs' offense.
Parker dribbles across half court.
Parker hits the ball to Aldridge in the low post.
Aldridge was just about to single Gallinari, but he found that Zhao Yong had given up Parker to pinch him.
Aldridge reacted quickly and he held the ball with both hands.
It's just that he didn't avoid Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong's hands are covered with the ball.
Grab it hard!
The referee didn't even have time to blow the whistle for the scrum.
Aldridge collapsed.
The ball was also snatched by Zhao Yong.
"Whoa, whoa."
"Violent robbery."
'It's too cruel for Aldridge to concede a goal like that.
"Zhao Yong is really ruthless."
"Hahaha, a robbery that won't be late."
The fans screamed and cheered.
The Clippers' offense passed.
Zhao Yong's choice for this attack was simple.
In the face of Gai Yin, after a change of direction dribble, he simply shot three points!
Gai Yin's defense was in place, but Zhao Yong just threw the ball in.
8 to 15.
....
....
In the starting lineup matchup, the Clippers had the advantage, and it was not until the second lineup matchup that the Spurs chased the score back a little.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 27-32.
The Clippers lead by five points.
Zhao Yong got 13 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the first quarter!
