The Jets raged in the Clippers' half, and in response, Dunleavy called a timeout for Eric Gordon to step up Terry's defense.

However, this trick didn't work, Gordon's defense was good, but in the second year, he was a little tender against an old fritter like Terry.

Since the NBA abolished the handcheck rule in 2005, one-on-one marking of outside players has become more and more difficult.

It is basically impossible to rely on a defensive gate to block the outside offensive arrows on the opposite side.

This is also the reason why defensive small forwards have slowly become popular since the beginning of recent seasons.

Because they can not only face the impact of the opponent's outside arrows directly, but also become a second line of defense, assisting the defenders to block the arrowheads.

Like Trevor Ariza and Dundee Jones, they are all No. 3 players who have risen in the past two years.

The Clippers' shortcomings at the No. 3 position are not remedied, and one Gordon will not solve the problem.

Dunleavy's use of Gordon to defend Terry didn't make much difference, and the Clippers' offensive efficiency in the third quarter was broken due to a physical decline.

Baron Davis missed several jumpers from the outside, and he was really not as good as he used to be when he was affected by injuries.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers, who were still leading the Mavericks in the first half, were already 10 points behind the Mavericks 77:87.

This disappointed the fans at the scene, could it be that the Clippers could only play a good half of the game?

Min Congda was eating popcorn, his heart was relaxed and he didn't dare to relax, and the lesson of the last jazz was close at hand.

The Clippers team they built themselves seem to have a strong ability to reverse, what's going on?

"It's ten points behind, don't struggle, let's lose, you're all over. Lao Deng, don't be on the three guards, these three guards chase the points quickly, and the Mavericks may not be able to withstand it. ”

"Coach Maverick, who is that, don't let No. 2 be bald, don't let No. 2 be bald."

Carlisle, of course, will not listen to Min Congda's command, and Kidd will still be on board.

Dunleavy also unsurprisingly used his desperate three-guard to start a battle with the Mavericks in the fourth quarter.

Not to mention, the three-guard move is really good, Davis controls the ball, and Curry becomes a shooting guard.

In the bottom corner, at the top of the arc, hit two three-pointers in a row!

This three-point shot, the knife is deadly, straight into Min Congda's little heart.

Every time Curry made a move, he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look.

He listened with his ears, and if the fans cheered, it would go without saying that the goal would have been scored.

If there was a "dang", the ball would not have been scored, Curry scored two in a row, and the atmosphere of the fans was ignited at once.

Kidd's weakness of slow movement on the defensive end was evident in the fourth quarter, as Curry's extremely agile and tireless movement stretched open space for the Mavericks.

Gordon kept killing the basket with the ball, and scored the Clippers with a screaming layup, and in just a few minutes, the Clippers chased the score to only two points!

Among them, Curry burst into the basket and hit the ground and passed to Carman, who smashed the ball with one hand and stopped the Mavericks directly.

There was jubilation in the Staples Center, and the Clippers seemed to be unable to play if they weren't behind, so they had to play a reversal!

Just when Min Congda thought that this one was going to be worse again, the Mavericks showed a different approach from the Jazz.

At the end of the timeout, the game restarted, the Mavericks played unhurriedly, Kidd received the ball in the bottom right corner, and hit a three-point shot!

It was his first three-pointer of the game, a very crucial three-pointer that helped the Mavericks stabilize the situation.

Subsequently, the Mavericks switched to a joint defense in defense, using Barria, who came off the bench, to target Curry.

"1 stare at 4 joints? The Mavericks used a joint defense, allowing Barria to chase Curry, and the other four people to defend the area, which was a clever move. This coach of the Mavericks, there's something. ”

Min Congda is keenly aware that the Mavericks' 1-and-4 is very targeted, and he follows Curry with a small man who can mark people, because Curry is the best runner, the most open space, and the most defensive person in the Clippers' three-guard lineup.

But Curry doesn't have the ability to blast at a single point, just find someone to stare at him, and the others don't care, so that the defensive formation will not be chaotic.

The rest of the man defends the defense, which can make up for Kidd's slow movement on the defensive end to the greatest extent, and give full play to Kidd's advantages of being tall and in good position.

This defensive change really left the Clippers at a loss, running two laps from the outside, no chance, Baran Davis could only pass the ball to the inside to Randolph, Randolph was pinched and did not pass, and the turned shot missed.

The Mavericks won the rebound, the ball was given to Kidd, Kidd instigated a counterattack, and a through ball was given to the basket in the half, and Marion received the ball and made an easy layup.

Without a quality No. 3 and a nimble defensive interior lineman, the Clippers can't stop the Mavericks' quick counterattack.

Their offensive efficiency went down all of a sudden, and the Mavericks held their ground, with Kidd controlling the offensive tempo and holding down the opponent steadily.

Min Congda watched Nowitzki receive the ball in the high post and jump directly to hit the mid-range shot, knowing that the Clippers couldn't win this game.

Dunleavy watched from the sidelines as the margin was stretched back to eight points, with more than three minutes left before the end of the game, and called a timeout to reset.

But Dunleavy had no cards in his hand.

The three-guard is the most effective miracle card that Dunleavy has experimented with at the moment, but in the NBA, any trick will be cracked, and Carlisle used a 1-to-4 to solve the efficient offense of the Clippers' three-guard with a 1-to-4 combo tonight.

Needless to say, other teams will use this trick in the future.

The good news is that not every team will use 1-to-4 combinations, after all, joint defense is a difficult defensive technique, and some teams do not practice.

Min Congda watched Dunleavy draw around with the tactical board, and he sat very close to the bench and could hear the old Deng's arrangement.

"Play the ball inside, inside, two low posts, hit their three-second zone, give the ball to Randolph and Karman, we still have a chance, improve your passing accuracy!"

Seeing that the back three didn't work, Dunleavy went down the old path and left Carman and Randolph to solve the problem.

Min Congda thought to himself: "There is nothing wrong in the truth, but without the support of the outside line, it is not possible to disconnect the inside and outside." Barang can pass the ball, but he can't sustain an attack from the outside. Gordon had a catch on the spot, but ...... What about Stephen? This kid is too tender. ”

As Min Congda expected, in the last few minutes, the Clippers went all out to play inside, and did achieve some results, but did not fundamentally reverse the situation.

Curry returned to the bench and scored 10 points and dished out four assists tonight, but the game win was far from him.

Dunleavy watched as the game time was running out and the team couldn't tie the score, and the margin remained around eight points, knowing that the tide was turning, the players were doing their best.

After all, Barang Davis is in too much form, and when he responds at the top of the arc and supports the inside, he can really only pass the ball and cannot support the fire.

Unlike the Clippers before it, Kassel has a precise mid-range stop.

Barang Davis didn't have a chance under Kidd's defense, and he had another inefficient day tonight on 4-of-10 shooting.

Dunleavy looked at Curry, who was sitting on the bench a little depressed, and thought to himself that this kid could replace Davis in the future, but not now.

NBA teams are not necessarily capable, but also seniority, and veteran stars will definitely occupy a starting position.

If you want to replace him, it will take time, you need to play better, you need old stars to give way, and Curry needs to be patient.

In the end, the Clippers lost to the Dallas Mavericks by a 6-point margin of 99:105 at home, and did not continue their winning momentum.

Min Congda finished eating the last popcorn in the box, looked at his phone, and 2,000 yuan arrived again, hahaha.

Yes, the Mavericks are a good team, and their coach, Rick Carlisle, has something and a future.

Carlisle was the first manager to receive praise from Min Congda so far, and as he left the pitch, Carlisle sneezed again.

"Ahh What's going on, this place in Los Angeles really doesn't suit me. ”
