Chapter 682 Fighting wits and courage
Paul chose to play by himself and made a mid-range shot-missed!
The White Bears protected the rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.
Conley is 185cm tall and Paul is 183cm tall. Both are traditional point guards with excellent offense and defense.Although it cannot be said that the styles of the two are exactly the same, there are many similarities.
Of course, Conley is worse than Paul in terms of offense, defense, and organization. As for leadership temperament, he is even worse.To put it bluntly, Conley is not suitable to be the boss, but he is very suitable to be the master of a team with a leader.
Many fans say that Conley is "the poor man's version of Paul", which is actually not unreasonable.
The one who opened the defense was naturally Redick.
Redick's defense is as active as his offense. Through active and frequent foot movements, Xie Kai is restricted from receiving the ball.
"Yang Yi, why do you think Coach Doug Rivers didn't let Matt Barnes go to match Xie Kai? Is it because of Redick's height?" Yu Jia asked.
Yang Yi nodded: "Ba Ye seems to be more suitable for facing Xie Kai in terms of height and defensive experience. But once he does this, Redick will face the old prince Prince. The height gap between the two is too big , Even if the old prince Prince doesn't hold the ball and force him to attack him, just shoot, Redick can't reach it. Redick is not Tony Allen, he is a white shooter, how can he have such good athletic ability."
Xie Kai turned his back to ask for the ball, and Conley lobbed the ball over.
Xie Kai received the ball, and K honey in the stands immediately cheered, as if the agreement had been realized.
Xie Kai glanced at the position of his teammates, and passed the ball over Redick's head to the black bear in the low post!
The black bear catches the ball, faces Jordan's defense, turns the ball to the frame, and makes a hook shot-nothing!
Duanfen accepted the rebound and handed it to Paul to advance.
Yu Jia laughed and said, "Coach Rivers is also very smart. He didn't let Griffin play against Randolph."
Yang Yi laughed: "He has no choice. As long as Griffin can restrain Randolph, the Clippers will not be so defensive. Such defense is actually risky. Once Jordan is transferred from the restricted area, their ability to protect the frame It’s about to drop a bit.”
On the Clippers side, Paul continued to pick and roll with Griffin. The latter caught the ball and faced the Black Bears with a mid-range jumper-hit the iron!
Xie Kai accepted the rebound and pushed forward by himself.He held the ball to the top of the arc on the right wing and called the Black Bears for a pick-and-roll.
At this time, it was not Jordan who was defending the pick-and-roll, but Griffin.Where is little Jordan?He has been in the paint zone, of course, because of the defensive 3 seconds, he rubs back and forth on the edge of the 3-second zone, like a love story of a scumbag.
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Lao Li really used a lot of brains. In order to prevent Jordan from leaving the basket, he asked Griffin to defend the pick-and-roll, and left his best rim protector at the basket to protect the rim. "
Yu Jia said: "In this way, where is the weakness of the Clippers' current starting lineup?"
Yang Yi said: "Of course, the weakness is not letting Randolph take on Jordan. Don't forget that Xie Kai is a misalignment against anyone. Gasol is also a misalignment when he plays Griffin who is a head shorter than him in the low post."
Griffin's movement is still okay. Redick is not tall enough, but he moves well with his feet, and he didn't let this screen have a chance!
Xie Kaidan took Redick, leaned on the opponent on the right side, made a breakthrough with his left hand, and suddenly passed the ball to the basket, which was almost broken by Paul's eye!
The Clippers counterattack!
Paul took the ball and went down quickly, and Dianfen followed up with the basket!
Short Finn alley-oop dunk!
2: 0!
After Duan Fen came down, he glared at the black bear. He was really bullied enough by this black fat man in the previous series between the two teams.
Conley dribbled over and cooperated with the White Bear screen!
Xie Kai moves without the ball, goes out from the bottom line, and goes to the weak side!
The White Bear's screen quality is very high, and even Paul can't squeeze it easily.
Conley holds the ball and breaks through, and points to the right-wing old prince!
The old prince also burst out, thanking Kai without the ball!
Xie Kai catches the ball, three threats and then a jumper - short!
But he grabs the offensive rebound himself!
Xie Kai leaned on Redick, cut in with the ball, faced Jordan who was protecting the frame under the basket, took off, and passed the ball from the opponent's left rib to the black bear on the right side of the basket!
The Black Bear hit the board and scored the Grizzlies' first sports game.
"Beautiful, the ball is scored just right!" Yu Jia exclaimed.
Yang Yi was also full of praise: "Xie Kai handled the ball perfectly. After he missed the shot, he grabbed the offensive rebound smartly. Then after he attracted the pincer, he didn't take the ball immediately, but gave it in the air. Come on, no matter how quick Jordan reacts, it is impossible to help defend Randolph when he is in the air. Xie Kai also counted the time difference into it!"
The Clippers attacked, Redick used the cover, and the 3-point shot was interfered by Xie Kai-hit the iron!
The long rebound was grabbed by Baye, and the ball went to Paul again.
Almost all offenses in the Clippers' starting lineup were initiated by Paul.The advantage is that the team will not be without a backbone on the field and will not be chaotic. The disadvantage is that once Paul is restricted or he is not in good condition, the team's upper limit will be affected.
This is also what Xie Kai has always felt is a pity for this Clippers team. They lack a wing that can play singles with the ball.Duanfen can become the axis and can control the ball, but his offense with the ball is really hard to describe.
Paul is awesome. After his knee injury, he has been unable to attack the organization all on his shoulders.Maybe the regular season can be done sometimes, and the playoffs are facing strong teams, and he alone is not enough.
So the Clippers traded Caron Butler and Blood Cloth in exchange for Redick and others, which did not solve the team's biggest problem.This team does not lack organization, does not lack defense, but lacks people who can attack.If you count on gram 6 to overcome difficulties, then go to sleep!
For the Clippers, Jordan was catching the ball at the basket and was about to eat the cake. He was "white plus black" by the black and white bears. He made a mistake in an instant and the ball went out of the baseline...
The Grizzlies' interior defense is too strong, thick and hard!
Unless it's an alley-oop, it's really impossible for Jordan to score with the ball in the low post.The same is true for Short Fen.
The Grizzlies attacked, and Conley dribbled the ball to the White Bears in the low post.
The Grizzlies have a lot of experience. You asked Jordan to defend the black bears and Duanfen to defend the pick-and-roll, but I went to the low post to hit you. What do you do?
Duanfen can only defend against the white bears. His top defense ability is good, but his height really suffers too much.As for the arm span, let's not talk about it...
The white bear's low-post skills are not as good as the black bear's, but they are considered solid, and they can still play in the wrong position.He walked in with his back on his back, Duan Fen lowered his weight and held on tight!
Bai Xiong turned around and hooked his hand, the short Fen couldn't reach it, and when he wanted to jump, his opponent leaned on him, so he couldn't jump up at all.Maybe at this time, he can understand why the Warcraft, who can touch the top of the backboard, can't jump up when facing Yao Ming!
