NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

After a period of adjustment, Chang Tiancheng reorganized the attack.

In the face of Westbrook's defense, Chang Tiancheng chose to dribble with his back to offset the physical gap as he did against Smart before, and then look back to see if his teammates have better offensive opportunities.

At this time, Chang Tiancheng suddenly discovered a problem, that is, when Wembanyama chose not to shoot, his team's interior offense actually became completely relying on outside players to create offensive opportunities, and the independent offense of the interior line was almost zero, which also made the whole team appear a little passive on the offensive end.

But that's probably what the coaching staff wants to see at the moment, after all, in their eyes, as long as the efficiency of the outside offense is high enough, in fact, even if the interior has no autonomous offensive ability at all, it is acceptable.

Just like the Rockets a few years ago, with Harden in his prime and Paul at his peak, their interior Capela can eat enough just to eat cake.

But the trade-off is that the team becomes heavily reliant on the form of the perimeter players.

In other words, Chang Tiancheng is now under a lot of pressure.

Chang Tiancheng thought about it and threw the ball with one hand to Keldon, who was at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, wanting him to make an attack.

Keldon was also unequivocal, after receiving the ball, in the face of Powell's defense in front of him, he simply made a triple threat, and then strode to the Clippers' interior to break through, crushing Powell all the way to the free throw line, before throwing a throw with one hand.

The throw ended up hitting the front of the rim and didn't make it.

Just as the Clippers' two interior linemen, Morris and Zubac, wanted to collect the defensive rebound, Wembanyama suddenly jumped up, grabbed the ball above their heads in advance, and then dunked the ball into the basket with the crisp sound of the basket, scoring two points for the Spurs.

Wembanyama, who completed the dunk, did not make any celebratory moves, but silently returned to defend his own half.

Even though the coaching staff temporarily limited his offensive means, he was still able to find ways to contribute to the team as much as he could.

Westbrook advanced with the ball, and at this point he was already a little afraid of Wembanyama's defensive coverage, but he gritted his teeth and called Morris to do the pick-and-roll for himself.

The purpose of this was to pull Wembanyama out of the interior first, and Westbrook still didn't believe Wembanyama could be targeted as a speed guard from the outside.

And the fact is indeed as Westbrook expected, although Wembanyama has a strong defensive coverage, it is still a little difficult to really change the small guard from the outside.

As a result, Keldon, who was originally responsible for defending Powell in the bottom corner, had to quickly turn back and make up for his interior defense.

Westbrook, who has been playing for so many years, will naturally not let go of this opportunity and decisively passes the ball over.

Powell catches the ball and hits a three-pointer.

Chang Tiancheng tried to find Wembanyama on the offensive end this time, and he felt that Wembanyama should theoretically want to take the initiative to attack after completing the dunk just now.

But Wembanyama still didn't want to take the initiative to ask for the ball, and Chang Tiancheng didn't embarrass him, and continued to pass the ball to Keldon, hoping that he could help the team open up the offensive situation.

After Keldon broke through Powell with the ball, he passed the ball to Sochan in the bottom corner of the three-point corner.

After Suohan dangled a shot outside the three-point line, he also broke through two steps to the inside, and when the opponent's inside line came to attack, he passed the ball back to Chang Tiancheng.

The moment Chang Tiancheng received the ball, he used a very fast pass to pass the ball back to Wembanyama on the inside again.

At this time, Morris, who was originally responsible for defending Wembanyama, could not return to defend Wembanyama because he went to flank Sochan.

So Wembanyama easily put the basketball into the hoop again.

In the next round, Powell dribbled all the way to the three-point line, and then shot a three-pointer directly against Keldon's defense, hitting it accurately.

Seeing that the two cores of his team didn't seem to have any desire to shoot today, Sohan simply took the ball and played.

In charge of defending Sochan is Kenyon Martin Jr., who the Clippers just traded in from the Rockets.

Although Martin is not as tall as Sochan, he is about the same as Sohan in terms of physique, and after Sohan dribbles, he didn't throw Martin away, so he simply stopped dribbling, but directly exploded the ball on the spot and made a mid-range shot.

Miraculously, this seemingly random shot ended up successfully falling into the basket. The Spurs scored two more points.

Westbrook dribbled the ball across the half, but chose to play the game he does best with and then breaking through the ball.

This time he was still staring at Wembanyama and asked Morris to come over and block himself.

However, Wembanyama was also on guard this time, standing about a step backwards in advance, leaving himself room to chase Westbrook.

Sure enough, this time it was not so easy for Wei Shao to break through Wembanyama, and he was chased all the way to the basket by Wembanyama, and in the end, Westbrook still chose to pass the ball back to Morris.

At this time, it was Chang Tiancheng who was opposite Morris.

According to common sense, Morris and Chang Tiancheng have a huge physical gap, and in such a one-on-one heads-up, Morris can be said to have scored two points.

But Morris chose the most difficult way to shoot, he dribbled twice at a distance of two points, suddenly closed the ball and retreated to the outside of the three-point line, and then hit a three-pointer, and the basketball naturally missed the basket.

Wembanyama picked up the defensive rebound and then dropped the ball to Chang Tiancheng, who had already started a fast break.

This time, the other players of the Clippers team had no time to chase Chang Tiancheng, and could only watch Chang Tiancheng complete the fast attack.

Chang Tiancheng turned his head and found that there was no one behind him to chase him, and he thought that he didn't seem to have completed a dunk this season, so he simply closed the ball directly at the free throw line, strode forward two steps, and jumped directly to complete a tomahawk split dunk with one arm in his left hand.

The audience at the scene also turned against each other and cheered for this wonderful dunk on the line.

After receiving the serve, Westbrook did not rush to attack, but slowed down his pace of advancement, and came to the Spurs half court little by little.

At this point, he already wanted to argue with Morris, after all, Morris's offensive choice just now was really not good enough in his opinion.

But thinking that he often made some inappropriate offensive choices, Westbrook swallowed those words anyway.
