Chapter 724 [Wrong, Wrong, Wrong]

For those veterans, the NBA lockout has a greater impact on them.

Many veterans at the end of their careers choose to retire sadly because they cannot work hard to exercise and maintain their condition during the long vacation. Most of the remaining veterans have declined significantly.

For example, Ben Wallace, maybe because the lockout was too boring, Ben drove drunk during the holidays and was found to be carrying a pistol. After the start of the new season, Ben averaged only 1.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game with the Pistons, and his skills have long been abandoned.

Kidd also hinted in the summer that if the entire season was suspended, he would retire and turn to business wars, which is another battlefield.

He finally stayed, but he was distracted. He averaged 28.7 minutes per game, 6.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.7 steals, shooting 36.3% from the field and 35.4% from the three-point range. The offensive end is soy sauce, and the defensive end is also like a black hole. It is difficult to regain the courage of the past, and his retirement has only happened in the past two years.

Kidd's defensive experience was still there, and he was worried about being passed by Curry with his speed, so he kept a two-step distance. Curry dribbled the ball from his crotch to his right hand, stepped back sharply, and shot a jumper more than one meter away from the three-point line.

Few people shoot three-pointers from this distance, but this is what Curry coaches on the team. Kidd has poor bounce, and he can only slightly interfere when he steps forward and reaches out, and the ball goes hollow into the net. 14 to 6.

After joining the Clippers, Curry's three-point shooting range is getting farther and farther. He has this talent, but he just didn't expect to shoot like this before.

The Mavericks were attacking. West was dribbling the ball just after halftime when he was pressed closely by Paul. He was unable to take another step forward and almost caused a mistake in returning to the court. He hurriedly passed the ball to Kidd, Curry was beside him, and the quick hand With one stretch, the steal was successful, and he rushed out for a fast break.

Curry ignored Paul in the middle and reached for the ball. He stopped at 70 degrees on the left side and shot a three-pointer. Kidd behind him couldn't catch up.

No matter how experienced the veteran is, his body is not as good as that of the young man. Curry's shooting rhythm was amazing and he hit another three-pointer.

17 to 6, all the fans applauded and cheered.

Curry bit his braces and shook his head to defend. He heard Yang Rui yelling from the sidelines and quickly put the braces into his mouth again.

Yang Rui didn't let him play with his braces on, so he told him last season to get rid of this bad habit.

It doesn't matter if players are arrogant and domineering on the court, but Curry's habit of biting his braces is very unpopular and is disgusted by many Chinese fans.

Curry got involved with braces on December 13, 2007, when Curry was still a junior at Davidson College. During an offense, Curry encountered a defensive player's arm swing and was punched in the lip. Afterwards, Curry received a few stitches on his lip and had custom-made braces immediately the next day. After that, Curry’s braces almost never left his mouth during games.

Curry always bites his braces during games, and they are still half in his mouth and half out, which is unhygienic and not cool.

As soon as Yang Rui saw him biting his braces, he didn't know why he always thought of the Vietnamese group HKT and felt uncomfortable all over. The song appeared in his mind: "Girl with braces, how beautiful she is, my sister has such strong and beautiful legs..."

Some songs really have a brainwashing effect, and Yang Rui will never forget them even after many years of rebirth, such as "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong," "Ninja Mud Bang Bang," and "Uneasy." People who have listened to them must have similar feelings.

Mavericks coach Carlisle was forced to request a timeout and had to make a substitution. Jason Terry came on to replace Kidd, and Marion came on and replaced Gasol.

After thinking about it, Carlisle decided to follow the Clippers' rhythm and play small-ball tactics. Although Gasol's support ability is strong, he and Nowitzki mainly play two-point offenses. The most important thing now is to limit the speed. In the boat's three-pointer, the only slow player on the court, Nowitzki, could keep up with the rhythm and make up for his fatal weakness.

Yang Rui also adjusted the lineup, replaced Parsons and sent Chandler to play. Both sides are playing double defenders, so Curry will not become a defensive vulnerability, but Griffin and Parsons will have difficulty defending Nowitzki.

As the game continued, the Mavericks immediately became stronger in defending outside shots, but their own offense was also affected. Chandler's main defense against Nowitzki could interfere.

Griffin defends veteran Marion and has obvious physical advantages.

As soon as Gasol came off the court, the Mavericks' ability to defend the penalty area became worse. The Clippers' offense changed from inside to outside, and Griffin attacked with the ball and began to show his strengths.

The Clippers' offensive efficiency was very high, and their defense was not bad either. They defeated the Mavericks 36-17 in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, Carlisle asked Gasol to lead the bench, and the other four people were White, Marion, Dominic Jones, and Terry.

Compared with Yang Rui's previous life, the Mavericks bench has become weaker. Without Odom, Carter, and Mahinmi, there is an extra Bobby Simmons, which is of no use.

The Clippers sent Paul, Gary Neal, Battier, Gay, and Chandler.

The advantage of Chandler not starting is that he can deal with Gasol with sufficient physical strength and protect the penalty area. If Gasol is not available and White plays center, then Yang Rui will send Faried to play the death five tactics to strengthen the offense.

Since his rebirth in 1997 and receiving the memories of his predecessor, Yang Rui has been in the basketball circle for nearly 15 years. In the early days, he would be paranoid and arrange crazy attacks throughout the season, just to play well, and to train players, he would mainly look for people with explosive offensive talents.

Now, Yang Rui pays more attention to "balance". Even if there are offensive players in the team, he will not use them all the time. Instead, he will arrange tactics according to the opponent's lineup from beginning to end.

In a basketball game, the balance of offense and defense is the key. If there are blue-collar players in the team, they will not be reused. Over time, the blue-collar players will also have opinions.

Without Nowitzki, Gasol's power will be weakened. He and Terry play a high pick-and-roll. Terry can't score the ball when he breaks through. He supports in the middle and cannot assist his teammates.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Grizzlies' Gasol cooperated with Randolph, Conley and others, and the offense was very simple. Now except for Terry, the other three are all blue-collar workers, which makes it difficult to handle.

Gasol's low post attack ability is not easy to use, and with his 1cm jumping ability, it is impossible to score consecutively against Chandler. He won't do this either. People with high football intelligence will avoid the strong points of the opponent's defense to look for opportunities.

It's a pity that Gasol is already the strongest offensive point on the Mavericks field. He is selfless at this time. Who can he share it with?

The 35-year-old Terry's abilities are not as good as before, and he faces Paul's defense; the 34-year-old Marion's athletic ability has declined, and the only thing he can be sure of is a post-up shot, and he faces the league's famous defensive player Paul. Till White is very fast at the 4th position, but he is not as fast as Gay, who is a guest power forward.

The Mavericks' offense has become very boring. The coordination is a simple pick-and-roll, and then the players open up singles and force the shot when someone interferes.

The Clippers' offense is much stronger. Paul will distribute the ball to the right position. All five players will be separated. Chandler will go to the side to cover Neal. The latter will catch the ball and shoot. Chandler will cut after the screen. It's hard to defend against the Mavericks.

Gasol defended the off-ball screen but was not fast enough. As long as Neal got rid of Jones, he could easily get a good shot.

If White were to defend the pick-and-roll, Gasol would have to mark Gay or Battier in the right corner. It would be equally difficult and it would be an obvious mismatch.

After 6 minutes, the Clippers led 51 to 23, and the Mavericks were unable to fight back.

Yang Rui asked Paul and Chandler to take a rest, but he sent Curry, Korver, Battier, Gay, and Griffin to play with a big lead, focusing on offense.

Gasol didn't rest. Carlisle replaced Nowitzki to form the twin towers. They played a mutually exclusive lineup to attack. They could score, but they couldn't prevent the Clippers' offense.

At halftime, the Clippers led 67 to 38.

The Mavericks are dead...8
