Chapter 478 Weakness Capture (1215)

Although the Nets are known for their offensive power, they have some fault tolerance on the defensive end, but it was obvious that West had a problem with his attitude on the defensive end just now, and the veteran also took the initiative to extend his hand to his teammates.

The Nets are attacking, and Paul and Curry are facing each other directly. The Clippers' perimeter defense is average, and the most reliable perimeter defender is Paul himself.

Paul has rich experience and keeps a proper distance from Curry. Of course he knows that Curry is abnormal and accurate, but he is more willing to do this than to create a greater threat after being passed by Curry. On Curry's side, after all his teammates pulled away, he passed the ball to Leonard who requested a low post.

Dudley, a wing player who played well in the Suns last season, has performed relatively mediocrely since he came to the Clippers. In fact, Dudley is a 3D player on the surface, but on the defensive end, besides strength and fierceness, his performance is relatively mediocre. In addition, other indicators are very average, and the one-handed three-pointer on the offensive end can only be said to be working. After coming to the Clippers, the shortcomings are also more obvious.

Leonard played Dudley with a back-to-back single, and after two consecutive carries, he turned his back one after another, easily passed the opponent, and faced Griffin's supplementary defense and scored a low-handed layup.

Everyone knows that the Clippers' wings are not good. If Fernandez was there, it would be even worse. What's even more frightening is that this team has some attributes of flanking black holes, and who comes and who dies is also worth pondering.

The Nets made a fuss about Dudley, and the Clippers played with McCollum. Redick used off-ball running to get rid of McCollum's defense, and did not adjust the three-pointer outside the three-point line. The shot hit and continued to win the lead for the team.

Redick is definitely one of the top shooters in the league. There is no doubt about it. Jiang Mingliang even thought of poaching him in the Carter deal. But this player's weakness is also obvious. Once targeted, he basically pretends to be dead, and the defensive end is also weak, so he can't fight tough battles.

Redick showed some performance, and the system Redick was not to be outdone. It was the Nets' turn to attack. Curry and Leonard completed the pick-and-roll. Curry singled Dudley. The throw was successful before the supplementary defense, reducing the point difference to 1 point.

After two seasons of running-in, the combination of Paul and Griffin also has a good tacit understanding. Beside the strict Paul, Griffin can be regarded as trying to fulfill his talent, and his offensive skills have been enriched a lot. , Griffin made a breakthrough feint to connect with a mid-range shot, and the basketball hit the basket steadily.

Also a rookie in the 2009 class, Curry achieved great success, followed by Harden. Griffin, who has the highest starting point, continues to evolve this season and is steadily moving towards the position of the league's number one power forward.

I have to admit that in terms of hard power, the Clippers can be regarded as one of the few teams in the league that can compete head-to-head with the Nets, especially when Paul is full of anger and wants to compete with Curry. On the basis of filling the role players with enough chicken soup and allowing them to show good combat effectiveness, this is even more so. Not only the matchup of the starting lineup, the Clippers are not at a disadvantage at all, even the top bench of the Nets. Lineup, the Clippers can also fight evenly. At the end of the first quarter, the Nets trailed by 1 point at 30:31.

"This is indeed the matchup of the strongest point guard in the league. The Nets have met a real opponent." CCTV also explained the game, and the host Yang Jian commented after the first quarter.

"The Clippers faced the championship-winning Nets. Two points are very important. One is Jordan. Jordan really survived under Rivers, especially on the defensive end. His top defense, his The replacement has virtually resolved many offenses of the Nets. The other is naturally Paul, who really uses his brain to play, pass, organize, and shoot after opportunities arise. Paul is really too stable. I personally think , Paul is the No. 1 point guard in active service.” It’s not that Yang Huahua likes to brag about Paul, but a player like Curry who changes the game with his shots is destined to be underestimated at this stage, until the stubbornness in other people’s minds is uprooted .

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets still did not have an advantage in the score. The Clippers bench players led by Crawford and Davis were quite good. Veteran Ray Allen's defense appeared as he grew older. Substantial degradation, which is one of the reasons why Stevens did not choose to replace Fernandez directly as the starter.

Reggie Jackson, who came off the bench, did not perform very well in this game. He did not deliberately play emotional balls, but in terms of personal offense and team organization, his choice is not reasonable, which is also his old problem.

In the last five minutes of the second quarter, Stevens brought back the main players and made some adjustments to the lineup structure. Barnes stayed on the court and played as a power forward. Fern.

The biggest shortcoming of the Clippers' lineup is not that the wings are too weak, but that the lineup's scalability is too poor. Among the core players, everyone can only appear in one position, so there is not much room for the team to change around the core players.

For the Nets, Curry is a combo guard. With a point guard, it is not a big problem to swing to the 2nd position. Fernandez can play shooting guard or small forward. Leonard's strength can deal with some power forwards on the defensive end. In the bench lineup, McCollum, Yi Jianlian, Green, Barnes, and Hill can all play different positions, so the team has more room for change.

The team has an extra outside shooting point and ball-holding point, which makes the Clippers' defense a little troublesome. Griffin goes out to make up for it. Barnes can use his footsteps to pass Griffin, or use the pick-and-roll As far as Griffin is on the outside, if Griffin doesn't go out, the Nets can really make shots.

The Clippers have entered a dilemma on the defensive end, and the most outstanding point of the Nets' offense during this period is not Curry, not Barnes, but McCollum. This guard, who Rivers regards as the Nets' weakness, is best at mid-range shots and throws after the pick-and-roll, while Jordan's preferred defensive style is most likely to be caught by McCollum. Three mid-range hits gave the team a 6-point lead and forced Rivers to call a timeout.

But you have to know the change after calling a timeout! Pausing is for solving problems! Rivers' plan is that Griffin chases Barnes on the offensive end, trying to force the Nets to make adjustments first.

Needless to say, this is a solution, but once the rhythm is accelerated, it will be difficult for Paul to control it.

What type of team is the Nets? I'm afraid you don't dare to attack. With Griffin's siege time and time again, the rhythm was accelerated, Barnes couldn't stop it, and Dreaming Green's debut could still be resisted. Green's appearance strengthened the Nets' defense to a certain extent, but did not make the team's offense obscure. This auxiliary type has a high IQ inside basketball, and will be very active in picking and rolling for Curry and McCollum, splitting the ball, doing hand-off coordination, and making high-post passes and cuts. These are skills that Barnes has not mastered.
