Chapter 686 [Dislocation! Attack! 】

Clippers starting lineup: Paul, Curry, Korver, Gay, Griffin.

Yang Rui made adjustments and let Jordan, the starting center in the first two rounds, rest and prepare to attack directly with the Mavericks.

TNT Radio's Barkley said: "Jerry Young is always so unexpected. He started with a small-ball lineup and competed with the Mavericks' lineup. This game will be interesting to watch. It depends on who has the better offense."

Mavericks starting lineup: Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, Prince, Nowitzki, Gasol.

This is the usual starter for the Mavericks. Five people can shoot three-pointers to maximize the space. Gasol imitates Yao Ming's style of play. In the past two seasons, he has begun to increase his shooting range and shoot three-pointers. He and Prince are slightly less accurate.

Looking at the lineup, you can tell that the Mavericks are not fast. Their defense relies on zone defense to limit opponents' breakthroughs and focus on strong attacks in the penalty area. These were used against DeAndre Jordan and Griffin, and they worked well during the regular season.

The Mavericks can usually suppress the Clippers in the regular season. The entire league is studying inside support tactics. Big men with shooting range and good at blocking people can be pulled out to support. This move is too difficult to prevent. Even if Yang Rui started the trend, he can It's not easy to guard against Gasol.

If there is a better choice, Yang Rui will definitely send away Jordan, a rough guy who averages 0.2 assists per game. He has no shooting range, no support, and no offensive threat at all except for air cuts. And Yang Rui knew that Jordan couldn't provide support because his golf IQ was too low.

In the regular season, when the Clippers accelerated their offensive pace and played small-ball tactics, Carlisle would let Gasol take a rest, and Marion would come out and also play small-ball tactics.

Yang Rui guessed the opponent's formation and went for a fast break at the beginning. As long as the players feel good, at least they won't suffer a loss. The Clippers can't win if they fight in the same position.

Griffin beat Gasol with a jump ball. Paul caught the ball and brought it to the frontcourt. He protected the ball in the middle and attracted Kidd's defense. He passed it to Curry, who was covered by Griffin on the right and ran away from Stevenson.

A simple passing opportunity came up. Gay and Korver opened up outside the left three-point line. Gasol guarded Griffin. After the screen, Stevenson, who was 196cm tall, was the orthodox No. 2. Position, the body is very strong, the pursuit speed is not fast enough, and Gasol does not move outside enough when changing defense.

Curry caught the ball at 70 degrees and immediately took action. The arc of the ball was perfect and it hit the net hollowly. 3 to 0.

Zhang Lili shouted: "Beautiful, Curry, the best sixth man, started today and hit a three-pointer at the beginning. He really dared to shoot and really scored!"

Yang Rui applauded Curry from the sidelines. This is not Curry's limit. He has not developed the strongest shot. Now his shooting posture is relatively standard and feels a bit floating.

The trick that Dell Curry taught his son is basically to collect the ball and shoot the ball at the same time. The ball must feel very good, the release point is low, the right elbow is slightly out, there is a slight thrust, and the arc is high. That way the shot can make up for the lack of height and be faster.

Old Curry is a genius who has been delayed by the times. His highest honor in his life is the Sixth Man of the Year. If he had met a good coach when he was young and allowed him to shoot three-pointers as much as he wanted, his achievements would have been even greater. Unfortunately, three-pointers were not popular in the league back then. point.

The Mavericks attacked, the players opened up, and Nowitzki caught the ball in the low post on the right side and singled out Gay.

Before 2007, forwards with a height of about 200-205cm could play a good role in defending Nowitzki. They had the speed not to be easily passed by him and could also interfere with shooting.

When he was young, most of Nowitzki's offense was facing the frame. After 2007, he developed the unique skill of "Golden Rooster Independence". One-on-one is almost impossible, and it is impossible for short forwards to guard him.

He relied on his height advantage to steadily catch the ball with his back, leaned against Gay, turned to the middle, jumped on one leg, and shot a huge fadeaway jumper.

Nowitzki's move does not require a fake move or shaking the opponent away. The opponent cannot cover it anyway. Some people have used physics and mathematics to analyze his "Golden Rooster Independence", saying that this is a shot that cannot be blocked from the front.

Gay took off with all his strength and couldn't even close his eyes. The ball hit the net hollowly. 3 to 2.

The Clippers attacked, Paul moved to the frontcourt, and Griffin went to the side to cover Curry.

There are misalignments everywhere.

After Curry moved, Paul feinted and missed the pass. He suddenly changed direction to the left and broke through Kidd.

Kidd was too slow. Once he was shaken away, he could only pursue him from behind. After the screen, Griffin made an air cut. Gasol was positioned relatively outside and was not stuck.

Paul threw the ball into the sky near the penalty area on the left side. Griffin flew up on the right side, caught the ball with both hands, scored with both hands in the air, turned sideways, and dunked the ball with his right hand. 5 to 2.

Zhang Lijia shouted: "It's so beautiful. This kind of cooperation between Paul and Griffin is something I never tire of watching. They jumped so high. Once Gasol went out, he couldn't come back."

Yu Jia said: "The Mavericks are also very offensive, but they don't have dunks like this. They basically just shoot. The viewing pleasure of the two teams' play is not at the same level."

At this time, the Mavericks player picked and rolled in the middle, and Gasol received the ball from the outside.

His support ability is very strong. He leaned against Griffin and passed the ball sideways to the penalty area. Nowitzki got deep to the basket, turned to the right with Gay on his back, and easily scored with a hook. 5 to 4.

Yang Rui knew that he couldn't defend him like this, but against Nowitzki, double-teaming him at the beginning would be even worse. He could move the ball out of the perimeter and let his teammates catch the ball and shoot.

The Clippers attacked, Paul once again relied on speed to pass Kidd, Gasol made up the defense, Paul passed the ball to Curry in the bottom corner, and Stevenson was blocked by Griffin.

Big men can protect the penalty area very well, but the Mavericks can't prevent the Clippers' offense with a zone defense. The two corner players are Korver and Curry. Their three-point shooting rate of 40% is considered effective. Abnormal, below average.

Curry caught the ball and made a jump shot, and the ball went hollow into the net. 8 to 4.

The Mavericks attacked again and passed to Nowitzki. This time he attracted a double-team from Griffin. The ball passed to the center and Gasol made a tip-toe shot. 8 to 6.

As Yang Rui expected before the game, neither team could guard against the other, and the Clippers gradually took the lead because they mainly shot three-pointers, while the Mavericks shot two-pointers, and the Clippers players relied on their mobility to create more easily Opportunities for empty shots.

When the stars are one-on-one, Gay can't cover Nowitzki, but he can slightly interfere with him. When Kidd defends Paul, he can't even interfere. He will be passed directly in single defense. Keep a distance to prevent breakthroughs. Paul can shoot and distribute the ball freely. Without anyone to interfere, his passing success rate is extremely high.

When the Dream Team trained together in 2008, Kidd couldn't guard Paul. Yang Rui knew this very well. Kidd had long been better at guarding swingmen than point guards.

In the 2010 World Championships, Kidd was no longer strong enough to be selected for the national team. Even if he wanted to go, Yang Rui would not use him as a mascot for someone who cannot prevent breakthroughs.

In order to prevent breakthroughs and pick-and-rolls, Rick Carlisle replaced Barea, Terry, and Marion 5 minutes later, and replaced Kidd, Stevenson, and Gasol.

The Mavericks were forced to follow the Clippers' rhythm. If they allowed their opponents to score so easily again, the overall morale would collapse. The applause for the home team and the boos for the Mavericks from the fans on the sidelines would affect the players' mentality.

During this period, the Clippers mainly relied on the performance of two people. Paul scored 4 points and 4 assists. Curry made 3 three-pointers and a layup, scoring 11 points and 1 assist. Gay and Griffin each had one dunk.

The only person on the Clippers who didn't score was Korver. He also played a role in attracting flank defenses and preventing Prince from retreating to cover or assist defense at any time. No team dared to try to let Korver go.
