Chapter 1149: Beat the Clippers and create a problem

The city of alley-oops is out of action.

In the entire second quarter, the Clippers did not have a successful pick-and-roll, let alone a dunk. The only 12 points were attributed to Billups' buzzer-beating three-pointer in the last 20 seconds. Otherwise, the Clippers would have recorded the lowest points in a single quarter in team history.

It's decided.

All this is not only due to Zuo Li's restriction on Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, the main reason is that Paul was entangled by Beverley.

"Chris Paul encountered a historically fierce defense, and Beverley was very successful in restricting him. He not only cut off Paul's connection with the inside, but also limited Paul's personal offensive success rate." Barkley said at halftime.

.

"How do you think the Clippers should solve this problem?" Kenny Smith asked.

"It's not easy to solve. Most of the Clippers' strength is based on Paul and the pick-and-roll inside. The other players look good, but their performance is always unsatisfactory. Negro's tactics are gorgeous, but he can't perform well.

The strength of the substitutes cannot be equal to five." O'Neal shrugged and expressed his confusion.

It's not like the Clippers haven't had five ups and five downs this season, but this kind of pretentious behavior is only useful when they are leading. If you do it today, you will only get yourself killed.

However, Negro really doesn't have any good solutions. His on-the-spot command ability has always been criticized, and his slow response and general problems have always existed.

According to the situation at this time, Paul is on top, the inside is blocked, and the pick-and-roll cannot be played. It is better to replace K6 or Bledsoe, who is just showing his talent. These two are good at disrupting the game. When they come out, Bayern

Foley's influence will be weakened.

You can also replace Odom and give it a try. Although Odom, who left the Lakers, has been showing off every day and doesn't want to play, and he only plays in three games. There are many cases where he doesn't work hard, but as long as he wants to play, he still has the ability.

Yes, with him here, there might be a chance for the inside line to be revitalized.

If it doesn't work, you can let Billups and Paul take turns organizing the game. Although Billups is on the verge of retirement, he still has the ability to play seriously for a few minutes. As long as he can play, Paul can also

can be liberated.

But Negro was as stubborn as he imagined. Not only did he not make any substitutions, he did not even change his tactics. In other words, there was no change at the beginning of the third quarter from the second quarter.

I don’t know if there is nothing better to do, or if Paul won’t let him go. After all, looking at Paul’s murderous look, he wants revenge. After all, he lost face in the second quarter.

Zuo Li was happy as soon as he came on the field. No wonder Negro will leave next season. Whether it is because he cannot come up with good tactics or can't suppress the stars in the team, Negro is no longer suitable to coach this team.

Of course, the Clippers also have a unique vision, and they hired Rivers, the master of chicken soup. I have to say that there is a reason why the Clippers couldn't advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Hehe, let’s talk about this next season.

Now, if you don’t change, then I won’t change either. Let’s see who can’t hold back first!

Zuo Li, Anderson, Battier, Danny Green and Beverley were also in the Knicks lineup for the second quarter.

After Curry finished the first quarter, he played for three minutes in the second quarter. If this were the case for other teams, not only would the players have exploded, but the public opinion would also be discussing it wildly.

But this is the Knicks, so this problem does not exist, because here, as long as the team needs it, Zuo Li can sit off the court and wave a towel. As long as he can win, any lineup will do.

The boss of the team is like this, and others will naturally not have any objections.

This also allows D'Antoni to give full play to his talents.

Many times the team does not perform well, or it is really not the coach's fault. There are many team coaches who only look at the faces of the stars. To put it bluntly, they are just puppets. For example, Mike Brown, his tactics can only be

Give it to LeBron?

But in the Cavaliers, he can only leave it to LeBron.

Of course, D'Antoni will also accept the players' opinions, which makes the relationship between the Knicks players and coaches very harmonious.

"Ha! This looks great. Neither of the two parties has changed. This is a competition. It depends on who can't withstand it first!" Director Zhang looked excited as if he was just watching the excitement and it was not too big a deal.

"The Clippers are so strong, you're so far behind and you still haven't changed." Yu Jia said he couldn't understand, so he just believed in these people.

Although Paul was strong, he was not omnipotent.

But Paul doesn’t care!

Paul's character is not that of a good old man. On the contrary, he is also stubborn, paranoid, harsh on others, and will do whatever it takes to win.

He himself said: "My character is both a gift and a curse to me, but that's the kind of person I am."

To be honest, Paul rarely suffers losses when playing. Why has he gained more and more enemies after several seasons of playing? Even her former teammates have dissatisfaction with him. It’s because he always takes advantage of him, with all kinds of little tricks.

Trash talk disturbs people's mentality, and he was once hit by Cousins ​​because of this.

But in the second quarter, he really suffered a loss.

Beverly was dirtier than him and annoyed him greatly.

There is no way, this is what Beverley does when he comes up. Zuo Li doesn't even need him to catch the ball, and he doesn't need to take responsibility for the victory or defeat. Of course, Beverley has completely unleashed his natural instincts.

In other words, this wave is that evil people will be punished by evil people.

How could Paul swallow his anger? He had to fight back or let Beverley get fouled and be punished!

So in the first six and a half minutes of the third quarter, the main focus was on fighting spirit, and the two sides even almost clashed.

But Beverley kept Zuo Li's teachings in mind and smiled playfully on the court but did not make a move. Paul was so angry that he pushed Beverley hard and then received a flagrant foul...

Zuo Li made two free throws, and then made another three-pointer from the sideline, scoring 5 points in a single round.

Looking back at this time, the Knicks already lead by 27 points.

At this time, Negro finally couldn't help but replaced Paul, and Bledsoe and Keliu partnered in the backcourt.

Beverly also stood in his glory - booed all over the place, opened his arms, and enjoyed his moment.

"Well done Beverly, you guy, keep it up." Zuo Li patted Beverly's afro.

Then I looked at Green, who was thoughtful off the court...

If they don't get it right, the Knicks will become a nightmare for the entire league in the future.

Well, from all angles.

At the end of the final three quarters, the Clippers had lost by 34 points.

Zuo Li, who steadily scored 34 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks in the fourth quarter, did not play again, while Beverley was rewarded for playing another quarter and finally scored a season-high 14 points.

Paul sat on the bench with a sullen face for the entire quarter, and left immediately after the game.

During the interview, he even bluntly criticized Beverley for ruining the game.

"The league should get the guy who likes to foul out of the stadium! He ruins the game and he makes them win ugly!"

Seeing Paul smashing the microphone into pieces, Zuo Li knew that the feud between him and Beverly was finally over.

Of course, no one took Paul's words seriously. After all, he was also a master of fouls, but he was targeted this time.

However, the score of 145-100 was really cruel. This was the largest losing margin since Paul joined the Clippers.

No wonder Paul is so angry...
