Paul stood there and glanced at Jordan Jr.

As he walked towards Little Jordan, he said a few words to Little Jordan and asked Little Jordan to move forward a little.

Seeing Paul and Little Jordan communicating there, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

You could say that Gobert has some shortcomings, but the quality of his pick-and-roll has to be acknowledged.

In Gobert's DPOY season, Gobert averaged 6.1 screen assists per game, second in the league.

At the same time, it also made the Jazz the number of three-point shots that became the league's first that season.

Gobert's pick-and-roll is unquestionable.

Even Paul, who is at the first defensive level, cannot directly squeeze Gobert away in the face of Gobert's blocking.

At most, you can squeeze as much as you can from the side.

Clippers offensive round.

Hit by McCollum, Paul was angry and ready to fight back on the offensive end.

However, Paul glanced at it, and it was not McCollum who was defending him, but Iguodala defending him.

McCollum went straight to Dudley.

Paul looked at it and motioned directly to Dudley to come over to cover and change defenses.

Paul's ball quotient is high, and Iguodala's defensive ability is still among the best in the league, although he is not afraid.

But if you can pinch soft persimmons, why not soft persimmons?

However, McCollum seems to have known that Paul was going to fight him, so he bypassed it directly and still played against Dudley.

Iguodala also worked well together and the two were not swapped.

After Paul changed, he found that the person in front of him was still Iguodala.

Paul was a little bit on the hook, too.

Directly signaled Dudley to block again.

This time Paul was ready, and if McCollum was still ready to escape, he would have accelerated to find a shot.

But this time, McCollum didn't change again, but faced Paul directly.

"Rookie, don't you even have the courage to face me?"

Paul also took the time to spew a trash remark.

However, McCollum was prepared for a long time, ignoring Paul's words and taking his defensive posture seriously.

Just got a pick-and-roll by McCollum, and Paul also called Jordan Jr. over to bring the pick-and-roll back.

Let this rookie know who is the master of blocking and dismantling.

Jordan Jr.'s pick-and-roll quality is not as good as Gobert's, but it's still good, and McCollum can only try to get out of the way.

Paul looked at Gobert's position and found that Gobert didn't come out under the basket, so he planned to shoot directly.

But at this time, Covington immediately appeared in front of Paul, and if Paul had made a shot, the ball would have been interfered with by Covington.

Paul went from shooting to pointing.

But Covington only helped defend, but did not lose his position, and at the same time, McCollum was caught in the bag.

Paul didn't just click, the ball also joined the ball, and the two directly surrounded Paul in the middle, one left and one right.

At this time, the Clippers players will immediately come to pick up Paul.

But there wasn't much time left to attack, and it took McCollum twice to name him, and he also found time to spew trash talk at McCollum.

Paul's disadvantage of 1.83 meters is fully displayed at this moment.

Even Paul, a master passer, struggled to find an opportunity to play in the face of a two-man bag.

Even if you want to hang it high to the inside, because Gobert guards the basket, it is not easy to hang it in.

There was not much time to attack, and Paul could only pass the ball in a hurry.

But in the path of Paul's pass, a figure appeared.

Giannis Antetokounmpo used his long arm to intercept this pass directly,

After stealing the ball, Giannis Antetokounmpo strode towards the Clippers basket.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has long hands and feet, has a bigger step than others, and he can't even catch up with him from the outside.

Bang!

Young Giannis Antetokounmpo completed the fast break with a dunk.

Clippers 0:4 Timberwolves.

This dunk silenced the noisy Staples Center.

As the author of this mistake, Paul's face was not very good.

He even took a look at the Timberwolves' bench.

Obviously, this was Su Chen's preparedness.

But Paul is still Paul after all.

In the next round of the Clippers, Paul directly signaled to pull away.

He didn't want to block and dismantle this time, and directly glanced at the Timberwolves' defensive strategy, and once someone came to cover him, he could immediately shoot the ball quickly.

Even if it is Jordan Jr. under the basket, Gobert dares to come to defend him, and he can directly throw an empty catch to Jordan Jr.

He has the ability.

Facing McCollum, Paul swapped him over and singled directly against McCollum.

Paul's singles level is also top-notch, and after dribbling in succession, he shook McCollum into a position and directly chose to shoot in the middle.

Brush!

Hit.

Clippers 2:4 Timberwolves.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

Paul also spewed trash talk at McCollum after he threw in.

Su Chen frowned and gestured on the sidelines.

Laid out the strategy with gestures on the sidelines.

Timberwolves offensive round.

McCollum, who had just been beaten by Paul, was also competitive at this time.

Originally, this was a positional battle, and the Timberwolves' players were still tactically positioned, and the Clippers' players were naturally still man-to-man.

But at this time, Gobert suddenly mentioned a step outside the three-point line and put on a pick-and-roll pose.

Before Paul could react, he was stumbled by Gobert behind him.

With space to shoot, McCollum didn't hesitate and shot a chase three-pointer directly outside the three-point line.

Although little Jordan was signaled by Paul just now to bring it up, he didn't mention it so much.

McCollum is still more than a step away from the three-point line.

Just voted?

Brush!

However, before little Jordan could turn around, he heard a sound of brushing the net.

Clippers 2:7 Timberwolves.

McCollum, who threw in the three-pointer, celebrated with a fist and a determined expression on his face.

"The offense quickly settled into three points, which is the style of play that the Warriors would use last season, and Su Chen directly copied it to the Timberwolves."

"No wonder McCollum will start, it seems that McCollum is the one who was trained by Su Chen as Curry."

The on-site commentator also said excitedly after seeing this scene.

Honk!

Rivers also called a timeout on the Clippers' side.

Rivers kept a straight face, clearly not very happy.

McCollum became the man to stop the Clippers and received high-fives from his teammates.

"That's what you're capable of, and when you have the chance, you'll be determined to make a move."

Su Chen also patted McCollum on the back.

Feeding a player something like chicken soup doesn't take much energy, especially since it's a bargaining chip he needs to trade All-Star power.

Naturally, you have to perform well.

McCollum is also excited, and it seems that he has gained the trust of his teammates and coaches.

The boss of this team is really not necessarily the stupid big man, he is the core of this team!

It seems that the coach has finally discovered his talent.

How accurate his three points are!

It's like that big guy, he can't shoot threes at all.

But now they are teammates after all, and McCollum is also friendly Giannis Antetokounmpo high-fived.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's defense is good, and it will be good to give him a second in the future.

McCollum is a little swollen right now, he can feel his hand good tonight, tonight is his performance night!

However, after Su Chen fed McCollum a mouthful of chicken soup, he didn't care about him.

"It seems that the simulators have even increased the number of training sessions for the players."

Su Chen was thinking about it at this time.

He's always had the idea that the simulation glasses allow the team's tactics to be simulated thousands of times in an instant, and the players can do this a thousand times.

Could it be that on the one hand, it has helped the players do thousands of training sessions?

The idea has been in his mind since last season.

Like Green's throwing, he has only just started practicing, but on the stage of the playoffs, he can already be used.

At that time, the playoffs were too tense, and Su Chen didn't have time to really test this idea.

For example, Curry himself has the ability to shoot from beyond the arc, and it doesn't prove that the analog glasses have helped Curry train thousands of ultra-long shots.

However, although McCollum has practiced three-point shooting, he has practiced relatively little long-range three-point shooting.

Therefore, when simulating tactics this time, McCollum was assigned a long-range three-point strategy, which meant to verify this idea.

Although McCollum made a long-range three-pointer, it still doesn't directly prove it.

"But even if you simulate thousands of shots, it's fine."

Su Chen put his energy back into the game.

In fact, NBA players will basically train around 500 shots a day, and some will train hard 1,000 or even 2,000 times a day.

Like Griffin on the other side.

His shooting coach, Tate, revealed that Griffin does 100,000 shots a year.

Even with 100,000 shooting drills a year, Griffin's shooting level is still a mid-league or even lower power forward shooting level.

It can only be said that it really works, and then it will allow these rookies to accelerate their growth a little bit, and let the players who are not so hard work become hard work.

Pause back.

The Clippers then rearranged their strategy.

This is not only Rivers' arrangement, but also Paul's suggestion.

Paul is also really good, he saw that McCollum basically attacked by himself after blocking and dismantling, so he directly let the team interfere with McCollum.

Really.

Gobert raised his hands under the basket, but McCollum didn't dare to pass.

On the one hand, because McCollum himself knows that his organizational level is a few pounds and a few taels.

At the same time, it is also clear that when the team usually trains, Gobert's level of receiving passes is a few pounds and a few taels.

Su Chen strictly banned McCollum and Gobert to do an air-catching match like Paul and Jordan Jr.

After Su Chen saw the Clippers' defensive strategy change, he immediately called a timeout.

Just kidding, if you don't call a timeout, McCollum will go up to pass the ball to Gobert.

That's timid!

Maybe not every ball will be missed, and a few goals will be successful, but Su Chen didn't dare to believe them in that success rate.

The two biggest chips will knock down the value of the trade in one moment.

After the pause.

McCollum started to move off the ball, along with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gobert blocking.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo as the main controll, the Clippers' defensive strategy against McCollum is ineffective.

They also intend to go and intercept Giannis Antetokounmpo in the same way.

But Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has an extremely wide passing vision, threw the ball high and fed Gobert a fairly comfortable position.

Gobert can still eat this kind of comfortable cake.

In fact, Giannis Antetokounmpo has the ability to score points on his own, which means that he turned his chances of scoring points into assists to feed Gobert.

Although he didn't understand why the coach suddenly asked him to play like this, he could only follow the coach's arrangement.

It also happened to practice his organizational skills.

Defensively.

Gobert's lack of sensitivity on the outside and McCollum's weak single defense ability were also covered up by Su Chen's strategy of joint defense.

If Gobert doesn't go out, he will naturally not show his defensive level of blocking and dismantling the outside.

Especially this Paul can be called a person who fights big textbooks, how could Su Chen let Gobert face Paul, that is not to beat Gobert worthless.

Gobert doesn't have to go out, Gobert, who is sitting on the inside, is still full of deterrence.

At the same time, there is a joint defense, McCollum only needs to defend the opposing shot, and it looks like the joint defense system deliberately put people in.

Half-time.

Clippers 60:68 Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves relied on this system to take the lead at halftime.

McCollum scored 15 points in the half, and playing like this, McCollum should have no problem with this 25+.

The Clippers were forced to shoot a lot of three-pointers this time.

If it were a different team, maybe the Timberwolves would be shooting more points now.

But after all, the Clippers are Jordan Jr. and Griffin, and with them, the points that sometimes leak in the joint defense are basically Griffin's.

Griffin's three-point shooting is not yet capable of throwing the Timberwolves apart.

And being able to defend like this, without exposing McCollum's defensive shortcomings, is also a super forward lineup for the Timberwolves.

Robert Covington and Giannis Antetokounmpo's defensive ability is basically top-notch, and the two are everywhere on the court, making it difficult for the Clippers to take chances.

At the same time, Iguodala, Lore Deng, Josh and others are also defensive strongmen.

The Timberwolves' defensive resources are too abundant, so that even McCollum and Curry Jr., who came up in rotation, did not expose their defensive shortcomings.

The Timberwolves' defensive resources today are simply too happy for those guard players who are strong in offense and weak in defense.

"Or don't just change the All-Star inside, just change to an All-Star guard with a strong offense and weak defense."

Even Su Chen was thinking about this problem.

Of course, this is just a thought.

If you can give priority to changing to a favorite all-star insider, it's better to change to an all-star insider first.

This way the Timberwolves can form a steely defensive formation.

Although the Timberwolves' defensive resources are overflowing, what coach would hate the problem of having too many defensive resources at home?

The thing about offensive small guards is that they can't be replaced by All-Star interior options.
