Chapter 704 [Scoring 3 Points, a Blast in the Away Game]

Seeing that his teammates' offense was blocked, Conley began to take on the offensive tasks, breaking through the pick-and-roll for layups and emergency-stop jump shots. ----

Conley scored 4 points in a row, but it would be bad if he missed a layup. There were multiple mismatches on the court and he couldn't defend back.

Faried grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Paul. The latter didn't pause and immediately made a long pass to Griffin.

Yang Rui does not force Griffin to stay in position to protect the backcourt rebounds. He observes the situation on the court. He and Farid divide the work well. There is always one grabbing the rebound and the other rushing down.

Griffin completely got rid of Kwame Brown and drove straight through the middle. Wright returned to defense quickly and blocked the breakthrough route. Griffin had an advantage but didn't get ahead. He changed direction to the left while running and threw the ball high to the right. Gay jumped up in one step and dunked the ball in with an alley-oop.

The two of them will definitely be selected into the top five in this performance.

Hornacek was forced to request a substitution. Kwame Brown, who only played for a while, was replaced by blue-collar forward Dominic McGuire, who is 206cm tall and weighs 100kg.

McGuire lacks offensive ability. He averaged 3 points and 8 rebounds per game with the Bobcats last season. He relied entirely on defense in the league.

The Warriors finally resisted the run-and-gun counterattack, and the Clippers were still able to score in positional battles.

The Clippers led 37-23 in the first quarter.

Randolph scored 8 points and Conley scored 8 points. The offense mainly relied on them.

The Clippers' bench also has a strong offensive power, but the Warriors are much worse, led by Lopez who took a break.

Clippers five: Curry, Tony Allen, Parsons, Battier, Faried.

Warriors five: Nate Robinson, Charles Jenkins, Brandon Rush, Dominic McGuire, Lopez.

Hornacek was a little confused when he saw the Clippers lineup. He thought Lopez was going to deal with Aaron Gray or veteran Kurt Thomas, but he didn't expect Yang Rui to directly use Faried as the center.

Yang Rui is using the "death five" tactics of the previous Warriors to deal with the Warriors. Steve Kerr is very bold in his formation, often using Draymond Green, who is 201cm tall and weighs 104kg, as a guest center. Iguodala, who is 198cm tall and weighs 100kg, plays power forward and has the fastest counterattack speed.

Farid and Green are both short insiders, 203cm tall and 103kg in weight. They have strong muscles and are not afraid of confrontation. It's hard for him to guard Lopez's low post.

But the speed is much faster than Lopez. Once the Warriors miss a shot, it is impossible to catch up with the opponent on counterattack.

The Clippers defended man-to-man, exposing their shortcomings to the Warriors, allowing the opponent's core to play in singles, striving to suppress the opponent with a better overall offense.

The core of the "Death Five" tactics is that the lineups compete with each other. Therefore, in Yang Rui's previous life, every time the Cavaliers played the Warriors in the Finals, James could produce gorgeous statistics, but it was difficult to win.

In the shortened season, most teams cannot allocate players' physical fitness. The Clippers focus on running and gunning, which can definitely guarantee a winning rate.

Of course, the Clippers players will consume a lot of energy, but they have a lot of players and can rotate. When encountering a team that is also very fast and good at defending against run and gun, Yang Rui will consider slowing down the pace.

Nate Robinson was waived by the Thunder and joined the Warriors with a one-year minimum salary. He is still very arrogant and aggressive in offense. He wants to prove his strength and sign a big contract next year.

It's a pity that no matter how good his offense is, he won't get a big contract, because his deficiencies on the defensive end are too obvious. Curry singled out Robinson and scored two three-pointers in a row, both of which were catch-and-shoot. In the third time, Curry feinted and passed Robinson, broke into the paint and attracted McGuire to cover up the defense. Battier hit a three-pointer from the right corner.

Once the Clippers start raining three-pointers, last season's Mavericks couldn't withstand it.

In the second half, the Clippers replaced Griffin and Gay, replaced Faried and Parsons, and continued to maintain their lead.

At halftime, the lead was 75 to 51.

On the Internet, people are praising the Clippers' two newcomers. Their performance is amazing and they are both ready to fight.

Parsons can play as a point forward in the middle, can shoot three-pointers, and his counterattack speed is not slow.

Farid counterattacked extremely quickly and could cut from the flank in positional battles. He scored 8 points and 6 rebounds in the half. He was equally active on the defensive end. He dared to stay close to Lopez in one-on-one defense. Although he couldn't defend him to death, the Warriors lobbed the ball to Lopez in the low post again and again. Once he was used to the tactics, he couldn't play well.

In the past two seasons, Lopez has become accustomed to shooting from outside screens. The task of attacking in the low post is usually Randolph's, and he is not comfortable playing.

Barkley commented: "The Clippers can always surprise people. Last season, the media analyzed that they lost in the paint, their center offense was poor, and Griffin performed poorly at critical moments. Not only did they not introduce those slow shooting insiders, but they I stepped up my running and gun play and played better today.”

Smith said: "As long as Faried becomes Rodman of the Clippers, Jerry will definitely be able to build a dynasty. He will play the 4th position and partner with Griffin, and he will not lose to any team in rebounding."

Barkley said: "When Faried rests and Chandler comes on the court, the Clippers' defensive intensity will increase again. They are very strong whether they play fast or slow."

In the third quarter, Lopez was fouled twice more by Paul and Griffin, resulting in a total of four foul troubles. Kwame Brown and McGuire can only be used defensively, and the offensive end is just a display. This is very contradictory.

The Clippers led 111 to 77 entering the final quarter.

The Warriors didn't want to lose too much at home, so Lopez, Randolph, and Conley continued to play.

The Clippers deployed a full bench lineup, led by Curry, and the other four were Danny Green, Korver, Parsons, and Aaron Gray. All 12 players on the roster have played.

Parsons organized the forwards, and Gray provided cover for his teammates from the side. Curry hit three three-pointers in this quarter, and Green hit four three-pointers. The point difference continued to widen, surprising everyone.

tv5 Zhang Liyi said: "Danny Green, who is on the fringe, is having a seizure. The Warriors can't play in today's game. Parsons, the second-round pick, is also amazing. He got a lot of opportunities to play in the opening game. He plays very smart and reminds me of Turkoglu is really no worse than Dunleavy."

Yu Jia said: "In the summer, no one realized the value of Parsons, or that he can play so well only in the Clippers system."

After 7 minutes, the Warriors replaced all the main players. Starting and playing as a substitute has no advantage and is even more embarrassing.

Yang Rui did not make any more substitutions. This was already a marginal lineup. Neal was not on the roster today and Curry must be present.

Before the start of the new season, many fans believed that the Clippers' lineup was too weak, obviously inferior to the Mavericks, Cavaliers, and Lakers, and that it was impossible to win the championship. In fact, having an All-Star guard like Curry lead the team and play on the opponent's bench is simply a hooligan.

At the end of the game, 145 to 105, the Clippers beat the away game by 40 points and got off to a good start. Even the Warriors home fans did not leave early. In the end, many people applauded the Clippers players.

Although the home team was badly beaten, this game was very exciting, especially the Clippers who made many wonderful goals, except for dunks and three-pointers, and almost no field goals.

The Clippers made 22 three-pointers in the entire game. Barkley said that if the starter hadn't started early, they might have broken the single-game record for three-pointers.

Curry played 32 minutes, making 14 of 22 shots, 8 of 13 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 38 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, the highest score in the game.

Danny Green played 12 minutes in the last quarter, making 5 of 7 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 14 points.

Paul, Korver, Griffin, Parsons, and Gay also made three-pointers, which was truly a multi-point success.

In contrast, the Warriors' offense was unspectacular, with few dunks in the game. The two inside stars were both bad on the floor, and Conley was a low-key defender. The most passionate person on the team is Nate Robinson, who is just a substitute. If it weren't for him, Curry wouldn't be so easy to score three points...
