Chapter 482: Smart Bless (1st Update)

Curry was out at the interval, and Tyronn Lue's first choice was, of course, to bring the experienced Fisher off the bench.

Fisher came on, and Harden followed closely behind to replace Jimmy Butler and partner Fisher in the backcourt.

Functionally, Fisher isn't a good Curry backup.

He has little playmaking with the ball and is a functional point guard through and through.

Once he replaces Curry, the entire Clippers' tactical strategy will need to change.

Fortunately, the Clippers have never lacked tactical starting points, Harden, Randolph, and Gasol Jr., which gives Fisher a lot of room to play.

His accurate three-point shooting has a great effect on the team's space opening.

The three-point shot at the critical moment is even more fatal, and the super key gentleman among the role players.

The previous lore of Thunder made Min Congda so angry that he almost laid him off.

Sure enough, the enemy of life is the enemy of life, even if you change to your own team, you still pit yourself.

Just like some people play games, a certain hero opponent chooses a super god, and his own person takes it and a super ghost.

Fisher is such a being.

Tonight, though, Fisher didn't have much room to play.

Because Harden continued to be limited after the start of the second quarter.

The current Cavaliers are a flaw that changed from the previous weak backcourt defense.

With the likes of James, Battier, Danny Green, and more, their backcourt defense is tall, strong, and experienced.

Mike Brown saw the importance of Harden to the Clippers' offense, and sent Battier to defend Harden in the second quarter.

Harden was taken care of by Danny Green in the first quarter, played poorly, and didn't feel like playing.

In the second quarter, he met Battier, the old defensive yin B.

Battier's defensive style is more academic, relying on a move and anticipation.

However, when Harden is on offense, he is good at feints and predictions in advance, and he happened to be professionally matched by Battier.

In the first offensive game of the second quarter, Harden tried to eat Battier one-on-one, but had to pass a low-quality ball under Battier's perfect defensive position.

The last man to get the ball was Milicic......

Milicic had no way to turn around and shoot, but the ball missed.

The Cavaliers won the rebound and launched an unhurried counterattack.

At this time, James was still resting off the court, and Irving was on the court with a second team.

This is a big advantage of having a two-star team, having a core point of attack on the field at all times, which can ensure that the team's attack is constantly powered.

Before James led the team alone, once James was off the court, the Cavaliers' offense would more or less fall into a leaderless state.

Even if Mo Williams had an All-Star level performance, it was only the regular season, and the playoffs were not at all.

The Cavaliers had to increase James' playing time, resulting in a lack of variety and rhythm in the team's rotation and making it easy to be targeted by opponents.

Now with Irving, even if Irving is only a 19-year-old rookie, his creativity and hard-hitting ability on the offensive end are not comparable to Mo Williams.

Owen received a pass from his teammate and accelerated directly past Fisher in the middle!

Hit the basket, facing the vicious Milicic, Irving made a flash in the air and changed hands, and the layup was successful!

Beat the Clippers a foothold unstable and caught off guard.

Not to mention the difficulty and skill of Irving's layup, in terms of his calmness and courage when facing Milicic, ordinary players can't compare.

After more than a season with the Clippers, Milicic has become one of the league's biggest court villains.

The interior defense is ferocious, and he set a career record for technical fouls last season.

At the beginning of the season, more than a dozen matches have been played, and there have been two ejections, one of which was a brawl.

The former Serbian phenom turned into a boxer in the ring and a villain in the Clippers' three-second zone.

Of course, Owen knew the prestige of this villain when he was preparing for the game, but he was not afraid at all, he just dared to go up.

And Milicic is not a brainless fighter who plays when he sees someone, in fact, his defensive reaction is still quite fast.

This summer, he has further lost weight, allowing himself to be more flexible on the interior and evolving towards a better basket-protecting interior defense.

Therefore, not everyone can easily break through in front of Milicic and score points.

Owen has this ability, and the key is that Fisher defends Owen, which is really no different from a stake.

Looking back, Fisher tried to return one, but missed a three-point shot from the middle of the three-point range.

Milicic grabbed the rebound in the front court and handed it to Harden who burst into the basket, Harden received the ball and made a layup, but was interfered with by Battier's defense and missed the shot!

"This ball defense is really beautiful, Battier's defensive level is really worthy of the name, highlight one in place!"

Min Congda took a sip of wine, watched Fisher's shot miss, Harden was interfered with the layup, and was very satisfied with his team-building ideas.

He still sees the Cavaliers and James more thoroughly.

What James lacks is teammates like Irving, Battier, Camby, and Lopez.

As a player with strong physical fitness, well-rounded functions but imperfect skills, James has relatively high requirements for his teammates.

In this regard, James is a bit like O'Neal.

O'Neill, like him, is powerful and capable.

But if you don't match him with the right teammates and make up for his major shortcomings in some aspects, the team will not be able to grow.

Relatively speaking, Duncan is a lot more versatile, basically any team in the league, without changing the staffing, Duncan can parachute, can improve the strength of the team by a large margin.

And O'Neal is airborne, if there is no targeted configuration, the team's strength will not necessarily improve significantly.

James is the same as O'Neal, and like Duncan is Kevin Durant.

Of course, O'Neal and James, with a good configuration, will have a higher ceiling and can maximize their historically rare superhuman talent.

Previously, the Cavaliers management had neither the strength nor the vision.

James himself doesn't know himself well enough.

He thought he was Jordan, and with a bunch of good role players and veterans, he could carry the whole league.

In fact, he doesn't have Jordan's level, he needs a good system, a platform to help him, and play to his strengths.

Min Congda can be said to be like feeding, and secretly helped the knight set up the shelf.

Now the strength of the Cavaliers is really very strong.

Camby picked up the rebound again, and Irving instigated a counterattack.

Irving was really fast, and after halftime, the Clippers Milicic delayed him and didn't give him speed.

Irving slowed down, Milicic immediately returned to the basket to defend, but Irving accelerated again and passed Fisher in one step!

Challenge Milicic again!

Irving layup!

Milicic jumps off for a block.

As a result, Owen didn't jump at all, but feints.

After shaking Milicic up, he made a graceful turn and threw a backward jumper!

The ball hits steadily and you get 2 more points!

Irving scored back-to-back points to further widen the gap between the two sides.

The Clippers are already trailing by 13 points, and the game is extremely unfavorable for the Clippers.

Tyronn Lue knew he couldn't keep Fisher on the court anymore.

Fisher is experienced, but he is a big colander defensively.

Twice counter-attacked, Fisher was largely responsible, and Milicic did his best.

After all, there is no delay on the outside line at all, and the big center directly faces the defender's firepower, who can withstand this?

Tyronn Lue looked at the bench, Ricky Davis wasn't there, Dragic wasn't there, only Jeremy Lin was gone.

However, can this Asian, Harvard-educated player, really do it?

Tyronn Lue remembered that he was ordered to defend Iverson in the 2001 Finals.

Wasn't he a nobody at that time?

And judging from the daily training, although Jeremy Lin is tall, his speed is not bad.

The defense can't be said to be strong, at least not like Fisher, who really can't react when he's older.

Even if there is a 0.5-second delay on Owen from the outside, Milicic will not be completely exposed to Owen's firepower.

At this point, the Clippers finally scored a point on the court, and Randolph hit a mid-range jumper that turned low in the post.

But back, Irving passed Fisher one-on-one, burst into the basket and gave the ball to Camby, who was keeping up.

Camby dunks easily!

The Clippers' defense was broken through by Irving.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout, then gestured to Jeremy Lin on the bench.

"Jamie, get ready, let's play. Defend later, you see what's going on on the field, you know? ”

Jeremy Lin was stunned, he didn't expect that he would really get a chance to play.

He immediately took off his sports jacket and made a cross on his chest.

But in my heart, I thought, "God and Mr. Smart bless, I will behave well." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
