Wallace has been in the NBA for so many years, and he still understands some basic tactics.

Although he was not a professional player or coach, he had to understand tactics when he was writing for magazines.

In the first quarter, the Clippers used deft movement and accurate passing to turn the Grizzlies defenders around.

Curry's pass just now was because the Grizzlies focused on him and planned to double the attack to prevent Curry from throwing it, but he seized the opportunity to shoot the ball and gave Gasol Jr., who cut in the middle.

Wallace believes that it is necessary to reduce pinch strikes and rotations, and play more one-on-one man-to-man defense.

Let the Clippers' offense not flow and no longer flow smoothly, and their defense will be successful.

There's no problem with thinking about it this way, and one-on-one man-to-man defense is always the safest anyway.

But Min Congda shook his head and denied it, because he knew that the second lineup that the Clippers were about to appear on was even more ferocious.

Defend with the mediocre basic routine of man-to-man, and you'll die a miserable death.

In the second half of the first quarter, the two sides began to enter the rotation of personnel.

The score was 20-13, and the Clippers led the Grizzlies by seven points.

Dunleavy replaced Baron Davis with James Harden.

Replaced Ricky Davis with Paul George.

At this point, the lineup on the Clippers' court is Curry, Harden, George, Randolph and Gasol.

A very young squad with a lot of potential.

On the Clippers bench, Steve Kerr's eyes widened.

As the chief teacher of the Clippers' offense, in his heart, this lineup is when the Clippers really make a difference.

Curry, Harden, and Gasol Jr. are all extremely creative, Randolph is solid, and George is full of athleticism.

"This is the best starting five for the Clippers in the future, and as long as it grows steadily, the championship will no longer be a dream."

Kerr is very optimistic about this lineup, especially the presence of Harden, which provides more possibilities.

As soon as Harden came on the court, he made a block in the high post and went to the basket, and a left-handed layup was successful.

His explosiveness and breakthrough ability are not available to Barang Davis now.

The Grizzlies also came off the bench, with Michael Beasley and O.J. Mayo.

In terms of pick-up talent, it is not worse than Harden and George, or even slightly better.

But the way the two of them play is much simpler and rude, just do it with the ball.

There is not much tactical use and thinking, and it is enough to be a substitute.

Beasley faced George and hit a mid-range jumper from the baseline after consecutive dribbles.

Then, George received the ball from the outside, feintmed and shook Beasley to the basket.

The ball was given to Gasol Jr., who raised the ball with one hand and smashed it into the basket.

OJ Mayo missed a three-point shot, Harden counterattacked with the ball, dribbled continuously at the top of the arc, and also faked to shake off the defender and get to the basket.

The ball was given to George in the bottom corner, George received the ball and shot it from a distance, and then hit!

Before the first quarter was over, the Clippers had already scored 30 points.

Terrible with high offensive efficiency.

Wallace looked at it in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies' one-on-one marking to defend is for nothing.

Both Harden and Curry have the ability to break through one-on-one.

Once you're in the basket, you're good at finishing.

If you defend one-on-one, there is a high probability that you will be eaten and wiped clean.

Assist in defense, make up defense, and immediately share the ball, George, Gasol Jr. and Randolph are all waiting to eat cake.

What a simple, unpretentious way to play.

There are no bells and whistles.

It is the simplest burst and score, and the most efficient offense.

Wallace said, "Smart, aren't you guys playing pass-and-cut offenses?" How's that... Just hit like that? ”

Min Congda sighed and said, "They don't play cards according to the routine, so they can't be guarded by others, and they will die." ”

"So what should we do to prevent it?"

"I've already told you part of it, I'm still thinking about the rest!"

Min Congda couldn't think about it for a while.

The more this kind of offense relies on individual ability and talent.

The more difficult it is on the defensive end, it depends on individual ability in the end.

If your perimeter defender can handle Harden or Curry one-on-one.

You don't need any defensive strategy, just stare at death.

But it's hard to do it now, these two second-year rookies are very capable.

In Min Congda's view, it is difficult to find a team in the league that can handle these two players at the same time.

"I knew that I would let James go to the Heat in the first place, so why bother to ruin a big deal for personal grievances?"

"If James and Wade are on the same team, they can handle Curry and Harden at the same time by their individual ability."

"The Lakers still forget it, Fisher's kind, even I can't handle it."

Min Congda was quite remorseful, and at the beginning he sprayed Dunleavy's personal grudge for Riley, and strongly persuaded James to stay as a knight.

Well, now that 09 champions and tanhua are becoming more and more unstoppable.

Don't look at the average of both of them scoring less than 20 points per game, that's because of the dispersion of the ball.

"Damn, why did you trade Harden in the first place?"

"And George, who is a liar, what do you say because of the ...... The lazy and lazy look of pretending to be all day long, in fact, I practice well behind my back! ”

"Cut them all!"

After venting in his heart again, Min Congda regained his composure.

Re-examining the situation on the court, the Clippers are already unstoppable.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers easily led the Grizzlies by 11 points at 34-23.

The Grizzlies' offense is already playing normally, but the defense really can't be prevented.

Talent and discipline are perfectly combined in this young Clippers.

There are players who are very talented, but not very disciplined.

Especially the kind of team that brings together a lot of stars.

Because every star is the boss on their own growth path.

They gradually formed their own playing habits.

At this time, if someone makes sacrifices for the championship, for the sake of the team, and a balance is reached between team discipline and talent, the team will be strong and have a chance of winning the championship.

If everyone is unwilling to sacrifice and wants to play the way they played when they were the boss, the result may be bad.

But no matter whether someone sacrifices or refuses to sacrifice, it is basically impossible for the stars to play 100% of their strength.

Even if it is the Boston Celtics with the best combination effect, Garnett + Pierce + Ray Allen is such a good match, in the first year of Ray Allen's data is greatly reduced, making a major sacrifice.

By the time Garnett was reimbursed the following year, Ray Allen exploded with tremendous energy in the playoffs.

In his third year, Garnett was affected by injuries and took the initiative to concede most of the ball on the offensive end.

Otherwise, with Garnett's ability, it would not be a problem to average 20 points per game on a weak team.

There is no way, after all, there is only one ball on the field, and a few points are not enough.

However, the Clippers don't have that problem at all, and they don't have any star huddles.

Everyone is young, growing up together, and how the ball is divided depends on how the tactics are played.

You've got talent, and you have to play according to team discipline.

Randolph is the core but not the boss, the real boss is sitting in the audience watching the game.

As long as they can continue to grow normally, the Clippers will undoubtedly achieve the perfect combination of talent and team discipline.

It's a pity that their boss is now thinking about how to dig a hole for his team.
