Chapter 687 Breaking Assist Records Consecutively
Clippers coach He Dou was the coach of the Celtics in 2008, and he was considered the champion coach.But in fact, the team responsible for building the defensive system back then was Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.
When all the praise for winning the championship fell on He Douan's head, people couldn't help but expect too much of him.Teacher Tony used to be one of the champions of the Green Kais. He once said to the current Grizzlies teammates: "Doug is actually not that amazing. His tactics are not outstanding. We won the championship back then. It's defense. We've always been in the middle of the league on offense. Doug is best at pouring chicken soup. In terms of training players and coaching on the spot, he is far behind Greg (Popovich)."
In fact, the Green Kai team not only had Thibodeau, but also had KG in their defensive system.KG during the Green Kai period is no longer at his peak, but he is still one of the best defensive big men in the league.He was the core of the team's defensive system back then.
In today's Clippers, Jordan can protect the frame and grab rebounds, and can be used as the core of the defensive system. His pick-and-roll defense, switch defense, and defensive coverage are not enough to become the team's defensive core.It stands to reason that there is Jordan on the inside and Paul on the outside, and their defensive system is complete.But the problem is that their flank defense is too poor.
Back then, Lukai was flanked by Ray Allen and Baopi, both of whom were defenders above the standard.But Baye and Redick of the Clippers are below the standard.And even in terms of inside defense, KG+Perkins' defense is far tougher than Jordan+Short Finn.
As for the defensive level of the substitute, the big baby was also in Lukai back then, so he should be very clear.The defense of the Clippers' second team is really hard to describe.
The second half of the game started quickly.
From the second half, the Clippers made defensive adjustments.They began to flank Xie Kai, forcing him to play, while intentionally or unintentionally emptying players on the weak side.
But the Grizzlies adjusted quickly. On the one hand, they used Xie Kai's restraint to create opportunities for the old prince and Conley on the outside.On the other side, the black and white bears storm the basket, or play high and low positions, let the white bears go to the penalty area, and the black bears pull to the bottom line or near the free throw line to test the opponent's defense.
The Clippers are in a bit of trouble. Once they let Griffin make a throw, but the opponent's pair of bears change, they can easily change.Accidentally, Griffin met the black bear.
The black and white bears' 3-pointers are not outstanding, but both of them have the ability to half-stop the basket. This is another demonstration of the offensive power of this inside combination.They are capable of both inside and outside, and they are more powerful than the two pie-eating men on the opposite side.
In the playoffs, when everyone is working hard, there are so many opportunities for you to dunk easily.Alley-oop?Don't expect to be the main offense, this is the playoffs!
The two teammates on the inside are not good enough, Baye and Redick can't find a good opportunity, Paul can only come by himself.It is also a bitter tear to say. He almost went to the Lakers to partner with Kobe back then, but the trade was stopped by the league. He also came to Los Angeles, but it was the Clippers.
On the surface, this team looks good offensively, with both offense and defense, but when it is really adversity, he is really the only one who can rely on him.
Paul is really good, even with Conley's defense, he still can't limit him.His offensive ability is really underestimated. It's not that he can't attack, but his organizational and defensive abilities make people ignore his offense.His small hits are big, his mid-range, his breakthrough layups, and high rebounds are all at the master level.
Paul relied on his personal ability to stop the Grizzlies.But this didn't allow the Grizzlies to flank him. When the Clippers still couldn't restrain their opponents, relying on one person's offense, they couldn't fill the double-digit holes.
The Grizzlies did not widen the point difference to more than 20 points, but the Clippers could not catch the score within 5 points.
The point difference has been hovering back and forth between 5-15 points until the end of the game.
In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Clippers 106:93 at home and ushered in their first victory in the semifinals.Counting this victory, they have won 5 consecutive victories in the playoffs.
谢开本场比赛表现出色，出战36分19秒，砍下29分11个篮板12个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽，表现堪称完美。
This is Xie Kai's first triple-double since the start of the playoffs this season, and it is also the third triple-double in his NBA career playoff history.It is much more difficult to get a triple-double in the playoffs than in the regular season, because the improvement of defense makes it difficult to get double-doubles in assists after all.
Xie Kai sent 12 assists in this game, which also set a new high in a single game of his NBA playoff career (11 before).
At the press conference after the game, Xie Kai, Shuangxiong and coach Dave Jogel attended together.At the scene, they talked and laughed freely, and they boasted about each other's business.
Xie Kai is very happy today. He won the first regular season MVP of his NBA career, and led his team to defeat the opponent with a triple-double performance. It can be described as double happiness.
The Clippers are not so happy. Griffin is really upset. He was the No. 09 pick in the 08 class, but his current strength and performance are far behind Xie Kai at the end of the first round of the [-] class.
In fact, not to mention Xie Kai, as a rookie in the class of 09, Duanfen now feels that she has gradually been surpassed by Pengcideng from Houston and elementary school students from Jinzhou.At least in terms of popularity, I have gradually become inferior to them.
"Lob City" has been played for several seasons, but it has not achieved results in the playoffs, and the fans are getting tired of watching it.
"Looking good but not useful", this is the most true summary of many Clippers fans for the current team.
On May 5, the Grizzlies VS Clippers series G8 will continue at the Grizzlies coach FedEx Arena.
In this game, the Clippers, who lost in the last game, did not change their lineup, and they were still the starting lineup of the previous game.
In this game, from the very beginning of the game, the Clippers flanked Xie Kai.This is the biggest difference between them and the previous game.They did not choose to flank Xie Kai at the beginning of the last game, so the second team led by him widened the gap.
However, in this game, the role players of the Grizzlies all had a great touch, so the flanking Xie Kai allowed him to get assists.
Xie Kai scored double figures in assists in 3 quarters of this game. Finally, at the end of the game, his assists reached 14, setting a record for assists in a single game of his career playoffs for the second consecutive game.
In the end, the Grizzlies made another victory at home, rewriting the total score of the series to 2:0!
After the loss of this game, there are more and more voices of dissatisfaction with the Clippers coach He Dou from the outside world.Many people think that he is a bit stubborn, he will not change his lineup, and he refuses to trust Willie Green and other players, allowing Redick and Baye to be pierced by Xie Kai.
