Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 862 Long-term competition
The Clippers attacked, Dragic ran to the left to catch the ball, and Van Vleet followed closely, keeping a distance. Dragic gave the ball to Durant, who was defended by Eli Leonard, who failed to pass the ball.
Dragic reorganized the offense, but the rhythm was a bit wrong. The Clippers couldn't create space and almost ran out of 24 seconds. Embiid received the throwing ball and faced Porzingis' defense and forced a shot. George Card Hold the position, grab the rebound, and pass it to Van Vleet for a counterattack.
Van Vleet quickly advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Leonard. The Clippers' defense was a bit misplaced when they counterattacked. Green couldn't keep up with George's footsteps. George received the ball very comfortably and took three steps. Seeing that Green couldn't defend, he fouled George.
Facts have proved that Green's choice is very correct. At the critical moment, George missed the first free throw. He also used a little less strength for the second free throw. The ball bumped twice on the basket, and luckily climbed in. It was 116 draws!
The Clippers attacked, Durant broke through with the ball, was double-teamed near the penalty area, and split the ball out of the perimeter.
Fernandez received the ball from the bottom line on the left side, Joe Johnson let go of Green's defense, and Fernandez took advantage of the opportunity and assigned it to Green in the middle, who scored from close range.
Joe Johnson protected the ball in the middle and waited for his teammates to run, and distributed it to George on the right instead of Leonard, who was strictly guarded by Durant. This is an extremely critical pass, and Joe Johnson's decision was correct. George singled Fernandez with his back on the right, arched twice to squeeze out the space and then shot a jumper, 118 draws.
With 1 minute left, the two sides tied, and Rivers requested a timeout.
Back from the timeout, the Clippers attacked. Durant carried Leonard with the ball and rushed inside, attracting Joe Johnson to double-team him. Nader is already the best defender, but he is still not very defensive.
Faced with a double-team, Durant jumped up and gave the ball to Green. Green did not choose to go to the basket after receiving the ball, but instead dribbled to the outside. This move caught Joe Johnson by surprise, and Durant came from the corner. Running to the wing, after completing a hand-to-hand cooperation with Green, he caught the ball and directly made a three-pointer. While Green was splitting the ball, he just played the role of a wall for Durant, blocking Lai who was chasing up to defend. Leonard.
The beautiful cooperation has achieved beautiful results. Green's excellent sense of cooperation on the offensive end played an obvious role in this round of offense. Killed the Nets.
The Clippers established a three-point lead, and Stevens had no choice but to call a timeout and make targeted arrangements.
Back on the court, the Nets attacked, the players continued to pick and roll, and moved. However, the Clippers players changed very quickly under Green's defensive arrangement and would not lose their positions. It took 20 seconds for Joe Johnson to face Green. The jump shot was seriously interfered with and the ball went wide of the basket.
Porzingis failed to grab an offensive rebound, Embiid pushed the ball out of the penalty area with one hand, and Fernandez picked up the rebound and passed it to Durant. The latter was given to Dragic in time, and then a two-line fast break, steadily received the point ball and succeeded in splitting and dunking.
With more than 40 seconds left in the time, the point difference was opened to 5 points, which basically killed the Nets.
In the next round, the Nets could only continue to bet on three-pointers. George took a step laterally with the help of the pick-and-roll and missed the shot. Fortunately, Porzingis desperately grabbed the offensive rebounds under the basket, and Embiid avoided it. The embarrassment of being hit with a three-pointer did not wrestle with him desperately, allowing him to put the ball in the basket, 123:120.
There are 26 seconds left in the time, and the situation is very unfavorable for the Nets. The Clippers can choose to use up all 24 seconds, and then deploy on the outside. The Nets must complete the shot within 2 seconds. Throwing the ball under pressure is just overtime.
In fact, Rivers also planned this way. Dragic and Green's backcourt serve cooperated to steadily deliver the ball to the frontcourt. After Durant received the ball, he deliberately pressed the time and did not steal the ball for the Nets. At the same time, Durant's accurate free throws are also a deterrent for the Nets. Who dares to foul Durant?
With 7 seconds left in the attack time, Durant finally started to launch a personal attack. At the critical moment, George stepped forward in time to double-team. Based on George's understanding of Durant, at the end of the game, he usually takes on the burden of offense by himself and will not pass the ball to his teammates.
George's judgment this round was very accurate, so accurate that he found the right opportunity to cut off the ball in Durant's hand. Leonard had quick eyesight and quick hands. After grabbing the ball, he immediately distributed it to Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson made the first move The reaction was to call a timeout to set up the last attack. However, it was the experience of an old player. He realized that the Clippers' defense line was empty at this time, so he accelerated forward immediately, and dared to push back gently before Green and Durant came back. Fernandez hit the board and scored two points first.
At the critical moment, Fernandez's thinking is also very clear. It is okay to enter the "penalty shootout" if you want two points, but absolutely not if you want to shoot three points! In the blink of an eye, Joe Johnson also made the most reasonable choice. Take two points first, and then fight for free throws.
The Clippers sent the baseline ball, and the Nets strictly guarded against Durant, preventing Durant from receiving the ball. Dragic was fouled by the Nets and sent to the free throw line. The latter made two free throws amid the cheers of the home fans and took the absolute initiative with 9 seconds left in the game.
There are 9 seconds left in the time, and at this time there is no chance to make two quick points and then look at the Clippers' free throws. After returning from the timeout, the Nets gave Leonard the last chance to attack. The Clippers did not set up obstacles for Leonard's reception, and put the burden of defense on Durant's single defense. ,
Facing Durant's defense, Leonard's left shoulder sank back, and then his right shoulder slammed forward, and then the left hand holding the ball took the ball and made a movement to the right, and his left foot also moved forward at the same time. step out.
Durant's body leaned sharply to the right, and his footsteps changed accordingly, taking a step forward.
Leonard's posture of leaning forward suddenly stopped, and the ball that was about to be shot was tightly grasped by his left hand, while his right foot was turned outward, and the left foot that stepped forward also stepped back at the same time. return. He arched his body and straightened up at this time, holding the ball firmly with his right hand, and then stood up with his bent feet, and jumped up lightly, a very elegant shooting posture.
The defense that Durant can provide at this time is already difficult to interfere with Leonard, and he is a little desperate to reach out and block the block, watching Leonard throw the ball.
Landing on the hard floor, in the eyes of all those who stood up, Rouen held his chest straight, held up his right hand for shooting, his fingers were still standing in the air, and he slightly bent his fingertips. Pursing his lips, he stared at the orange basketball tumbling towards the basket.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
After shaking the basket twice in a row, it finally slipped from outside the basket. Leonard missed the lore, and the final score was fixed at 125:122. The Clippers defeated the Nets at home, Won the Christmas War game.
Scratching his hair, Jiang Mingliang looked regretful, but objectively speaking, the Nets' performance in this game has gained a lot. Throughout the game, Leonard wrestled with Durant on both ends of the offense and defense, using all his efforts to implement the phrase "a mortal body is comparable to a god". After Porzingis was blasted by Embiid in the finals, he regained some confidence through this game, and the role players of the Nets did not look that bad. Compared with the Clippers, they are not that bad. Difference.
Playing like this with the Clippers in the absence of Curry, this result is acceptable for the Nets. As the defending champion, as a dynasty team, the Nets have the confidence to lose some games, capital, and the competition between the two teams is not over yet!
