Chapter 258 Point Guard Showdown

"Artest was suspended for eight games and fined $30,000!"

"Kobe was fined $5,000!"

"Fernandez suspended for 6 games and fined $25,000!"

"Green was fined $5,000!"

A day later, the league officially issued penalties for the violent incident between the Nets and the Lakers in a nationally televised game. On the whole, the league's punishment this time is relatively heavy. It can be seen that Stern's attitude towards the violence on the court is becoming more and more tough, and he doesn't even give the Lakers face.

For the Nets and the Lakers, this penalty is undoubtedly worse. After all, both teams are in a low period at the moment, and the so-called situation of the Nets is slightly better, which is nothing more than winning a game That's it, in essence, it has not got rid of the current difficult situation. Moreover, the opponent that the team needs to face in the second round is the powerful Clippers. On the other hand, the lineup has been strengthened again. The joining of super sixth man Crawford has added a ball-holding point and bench output to the Clippers' offense. Grant Hill, who played well in the Suns, also chose to join at a low price. In the final fight for the championship, the entire team's lineup looks very substantial. Without Fernandez, the Nets will have a hard time playing against the Clippers.

According to the regular personnel rotation configuration, during Fernandez's suspension, Ray Allen's appearance should be promoted to the starting lineup. However, for the sake of stabilizing the lineup, Stevens and Snyder made a different arrangement after discussing with Ray Allen. Korver was promoted to the main lineup, and Ray Allen continued to serve as his No. Six-person position.

In this regard, Ray Allen also chose to accept. Indeed, from the stability of the team, such an arrangement is the most suitable.

As early as after the 2009-10 season, Paul basically took over the class of the first point guard from Nash. Although he also suffered injuries, which made his physical fitness no longer what it used to be, his active and hard training made many fans feel uncomfortable. Knowing that Paul has been seriously injured and his explosive power has been severely lost, facing the number one point guard, Curry will undoubtedly face a big test.

But on the other hand, Paul is not the type of point guard that Curry is taboo about. On the contrary, in terms of style, Curry quite likes to play against Paul.

Before the game, the media was more optimistic about the Clippers. The reasons are, first, because of the poor record of the Nets since the start of the game, second, because of Fernandez's suspension, and third, because, it seems, the Clippers still have a good advantage inside. big.

Of course, the Nets are not an opponent to be taken lightly. After all, against the Lakers, Curry clocked in three quarters and scored 41 points. This output is very terrifying.

I have to say that the Clippers have always been very lucky in their home game against the Nets. Last year, they caught up with Lopez's sudden injury, and today they caught up with the Nets' suspension of the main shooting guard. However, the difference is that the thickness of the Nets' lineup this year is stronger than last year.

Unsurprisingly, Jordan won the jump ball with Lopez. After Billups received the ball in the backcourt, he did not give the ball to Paul immediately, but dribbled the ball across the half court to organize the offense. After three passes and two downs, the ball came to Griffin on the inside. Griffin singled West. Riffin's center of gravity was unstable and wobbly, but he squeezed out a space for a close-range shot, put a half-back shot on his toes, and scored the ball.

It's the Nets' turn to attack, the players are running very actively, and they are constantly interspersed with barriers, the opportunity comes out in their fast running positions, Curry quickly took the ball across the half court, Paul immediately stepped forward Leading the defense, leaning on Paul to the three-point line, Lopez put up the pick-and-roll, attracted Jordan out and then suddenly went down, Curry got the ball, and sent the ball accurately to Lopez from Jordan's crotch In Zizi's hands, a steady layup was scored, and the Nets immediately gave the Clippers a response.

After Curry joined the Nets, his performance was not very good for the time being, but he brought a gorgeous style of play seriously, which even sunspots cannot deny. Blood spurting **, elusive pass really has never been a lot.

In the first half of the game, the two teams launched a scoring battle. Relying on the advantage of the inside line, the Clippers used the pick-and-roll several times in a row to allow Paul to assist the inside line to succeed. After scoring the ball, the Nets led their opponents by one point at 18:17.

The seven-minute game achieved the performance of two point guards. Paul sent four assists, while Curry scored 8 points and also sent one assist and one steal. In addition to Curry's excellent shooting ability and aggressive passing, his judgment on the ball path allows him to often block the opponent's ball path in the game.

Del Negro replaced Billups, Jordan Jr., Crawford, and Odom came off the bench, while for the Nets, Ray Allen, Green, and Baynes came on.

To deal with birds like Griffin, there must be a solid inside line in the penalty area. Baynes is obviously better than Yi Jianlian in this regard. As for the power forward position, Green's positive performance in the last game left a deep impression on Stevens and won him playing time in this game.

After the timeout, the Clippers focused more on Paul personally. Although Crawford and Butler are also good at singles with the ball rather than catch and shoot, in the Clippers, they still have to give priority to Paul. Come to play, this is also in the Clippers, Butler and Paul obviously have the crux of incompatibility.

In the face of a team like the Nets with active running and smooth offense, Odom's debut is a big defeat for the Clippers. Odom himself is not a frame-protecting type like Jordan. Inside, after leaving the Lakers, Odom's lack of concentration in playing has been further magnified, occupying the heart position of the center, and wandering from time to time is equivalent to a person's heart stopping from time to time.

Green pulled the ball to the top of the arc, passed the ball straight into the Clippers penalty area without looking at anyone, and in a trance, Curry had already caught the ball in front of Paul, made a layup and scored two points. And all this in front of Odom, seems like a lifetime away.

If O'Neal has retired and the five big jokes have come out, I believe Odom's jokes may not be much less than McGee.

Paul angrily smashed the ball to the floor and then caught the ball, expressing his dissatisfaction with Odom's distraction. Odom didn't care about this, and even forgot to serve, staying on the court, waiting for others to serve, let himself Undertake the task of dribbling the ball across the half court to organize the offense.

Replenishing players around the core lineup, only looking at the past glory of the players, ignoring the fact that the lineup needs hard-working mules instead of successful and famous veterans, coupled with Paul's "picking" of his teammates at this stage, the Clippers are gradually in the basket. Falling behind in the confrontation.
