Chapter 732 [Full of Malice, Veteran Value]

Westbrook broke through the pick-and-roll and was double-teamed by Battier and Paul, passing the ball to the bottom corner.

Griffin defended and stood in front of Sefolosha, keeping one and a half steps away, preventing him from making pull-up shots or breaking through with the ball. Sefolosha looked for Perkins to cut in the middle, and Battier went around to defend and block the passing route. He didn't dare to pass, and it was passed to Durant on the outside.

If Paul is holding the ball and organizing with accurate reverse hanging, Perkins can get a chance in this round, but Sefolosha does not have enough passing skills.

Seeing that 24 seconds were about to expire, Durant hit hard from the right. The three-threat took a step to the right and made a 50-degree emergency stop jumper.

Durant jumps very high, has an amazing height and wingspan, and his shooting point is almost flat. There are not many people in the league who can interfere with his jump shot. The pull-up is a big killer.

Coincidentally, Gay is also such a person, but he is slightly shorter than Durant and has better bounce than Durant.

No one has ever said that Gay is a defensive expert, and Yang Rui does not expect him to be able to guard against various types of outsiders. If the defender breaks through with the ball, Gay will definitely suffer, but he is suitable for guarding big men like Durant and can Act as an interference.

The ball bounced out of the frame and Griffin got the rebound.

The players in this lineup are not tall, but Paul does not play fast breaks, strictly controls the rhythm according to Yang Rui's arrangements, and slowly falls into position. The Thunder like to fight more than the Clippers, because there are two blue-collar players, and the stars in the position battle will be double-teamed.

Paul played a pick-and-roll again, attracting Ibaka to switch defense, and the ball was distributed to Griffin in the middle.

Perkins blocked Griffin's air-cut route. His expression was like that of Bao Gong who had never known joy, was bitter and resentful, and resisted the injustice of his fate. He just wanted to hold Griffin down, serve him with a guillotine, and then take him. Griffin's head was used as a toilet and was placed in the locker room. After he finished defecating, he borrowed Durant's pull. After Durant finished defecating, he brought it to him and then...

The reason why Perkins hates him so much is because in the regular season in January this year, Griffin cut through the air after picking up a pick-and-roll, took a pass from Paul, flew up, and used his incredible athletic ability to ride and dunk him for a goal. This goal was destined to happen. Entered into history, selected into the top ten NBA dunks.

No one wanted to be the backdrop for such a dunk. Perkins gritted his teeth. As long as Griffin dared to take off against him again in this series, he vowed to make Griffin miserable and make him feel the pain from hell. Malice!

Griffin didn't force a jump to dunk. Yang Rui told him several times to let him attract teammates to divert the ball when defense was on the line. He was acting stupid and risking his career.

Those who can distribute the ball to open teammates and create easy scoring opportunities are real stars. It is very beautiful to dunk the opponent's big man, but if you encounter a ruthless player and pull him down, the opponent may only get a flagrant foul. Gerry Fen is useless for the rest of his life.

In the history of the NBA, there are many examples of this kind, and few of the league's dunking men have been at their peak for a long time. "Rain Man" Kemp, "Little Bully" Stoudemire and others are all examples.

Of course Griffin doesn't like doing this. How can he show toughness if he doesn't dunk?

Yang Rui told him the correct answer: "After the jump shot, I beat my chest and shouted at the top of my lungs, you idiot."

Yang Rui was afraid that he wouldn't listen and even said threatening words. "If you get injured due to dunking, I will definitely not let the team give you a big contract in the future. Remember what I say."

Griffin took it to heart, attracted Perkins to cover, and immediately moved the ball to the right corner. The Clippers always had someone in this position.

Gay received the ball, and Durant switched positions to cover the bottom corner. Gay passed the ball to 70-degree Battier, who caught the ball and made a jumper, throwing a perfect arc and hollowing into the net. 5 to 0.

Zhang Lijia sighed: "Battier is really worth the money and his statistics are average, but he got a lot of playing time in the regular season and used his experience and defense to help the team. He rarely takes shots, but he really scores when he does."

Yu Jia said: "In the regular season, he had a 40.4% three-point shooting percentage, 1.4 in a game, and it improved to 41.6% in the playoffs. On the defensive end, he is not afraid of mismatches, and he plays a very important role in the system.

"

Battier is the kind of role player who defends very well, but is beaten by the ball. He is not oppressive enough against attackers, so he is often blasted into pieces by superstars. However, he works really hard on the court, is very selfless, does all kinds of dirty work, and will not lose his position easily. If he is guarding second-tier stars or role players, the effect is very good.

It was difficult for Westbrook to get past Battier quickly after the pick-and-roll, and his jump shot would be interfered by the big man, so in the next round he simply did not look for the pick-and-roll, and directly held the ball to beat Paul in isolation, using his speed to change direction without getting rid of him, inside the three-point line He made a sudden stop and shot a jumper. He dodged the block and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Perkins was stuck in the low post by Griffin. Battier retreated and grabbed the backcourt rebound, holding it in his arms to protect it, waiting for his teammates to respond.

The Clippers attacked, and Paul brought the frontcourt to play a pick-and-roll, attracting Ibaka to switch defense. Paul passed the ball to Griffin in the middle.

Griffin is different from Jordan. After the pick-and-roll, Jordan has to cut to attack the basket to be a threat. He can't even be pulled, and his free throws are terrible. Griffin can catch the ball far away from the basket. He has a strong offensive ability with the ball. He can carry Westbrook in a misplaced position and rush inside.

Wei Shao's defense is not very good. He mainly relies on his body and cannot hold the inside. As soon as Perkins saw Griffin coming in, he immediately retreated to defend the penalty area, and Griffin took advantage of the situation and distributed the ball to the bottom corner.

Durant made up the defense and Gay distributed the ball. It was exactly the same as the previous cooperation. Battier caught the ball at 70 degrees on the right side and shot a three-pointer. Ibaka was a step too late to make up the defense and the ball went hollow into the net. 8 to 0.

Everyone on the Clippers stood up on the bench, and Yang Rui gave Battier a strong round of applause. The role of the veteran was clearly evident at this moment.

TNT radio station Barkley said: "Battier can't hold the ball in singles and doesn't stand out, but whoever lets him shoot will definitely be unlucky. Apart from Chandler, Battier is the Clippers' most important free signing. "

Kenny Smith said: "The Clippers play small ball tactics. No one can be left open, and the defense is not bad."

The Clippers' stars are not the strongest individually, but when they work together as a system, they are the best team.

If the No. 2 position is replaced by Wade, it won't be that powerful, because he needs to hold the ball to attack, and his position overlaps with Paul's. Korver is at the No. 2 position, and Sefolosha has to stay on one side. Don't dare to help defend.

The Thunder's offense is still one-on-one with the stars. Durant caught the ball with his back, quickly turned around and performed an "arm swing", causing Gay to foul and go to the free throw line.

Durant made two free throws, 8-2.

When returning to defense, Brooks shouted to the players on the sidelines: "Change formation, man-to-man."

This is a helpless move. The zone defense cannot limit the Clippers' offense. If the Thunder continue to play like this, there will be space outside the three-point line.

Paul still played a pick-and-roll with Griffin in the middle, quickly dribbling the ball to the left to open up space, facing the frame at a 45-degree angle. Perkins switched defense well and did not allow Paul to get a chance to make a pull-up jump shot, and Westbrook quickly caught up.

Paul did not stick to the ball and distributed it to Griffin in the middle. Perkins blocked Griffin. He protected the ball in the middle and provided support inside.

Griffin only made 18 three-pointers throughout the season, almost all from the right corner, with a shooting rate of 29.1%, and his performance was average. He didn't practice well in the tasks arranged by Yang Rui in the summer, but with the organization in the middle, he could play well without practicing.

Perkins doesn't dare to be too far away, and Griffin can shoot high jumpers. When the distance is close, Griffin will protect the basketball and find his teammates.

Sefolo was guarding Gay and Durant was watching Battier. When Ibaka found out that his opponent was Korver, he suddenly felt "what, the, hell?"...
