Chapter 739 [A Man of God Rarely Encountered in 0 Years]
1. The Cavaliers attacked. Chalmers passed the half-court pass to James in the middle, and he ran to the right corner and stood still.
Positional ambiguity is the biggest feature of basketball tactics in the 21st century. Even if the point guard goes to the corner to catch the ball and cannot shoot directly, he may get a chance to challenge the big man in a misplaced position.
James was holding the ball at the three-point line. Bosh gave Wade a ball-free screen on the left side. Wade suddenly cut inside and James' ball was delivered in time.
Battier was blocked, Wade caught the ball and started to move, European step away from Chandler, hit the board and scored a layup. 2 to 2.
When the Clippers attacked, Paul played a pick-and-roll with Griffin, attracting James to switch defense, and then passed the ball to the center.
Griffin took the ball and took a step to pull up, jumped to the basket, relied on Bosh to get up, and scored on a floater. 4 to 2.
Yu Jia said: "The Clippers mainly attacked the inside today, hitting two in a row. James defended and went out, and the inside was empty."
Zhang Lili said: "This is the Clippers' advantage. They can attack both inside and outside, and they can defeat their opponents with offense."
Yang Rui crossed his legs on the sidelines, took a sip of milk tea, and ate potato chips. A cameraman gave him a close-up shot.
Yang Rui no longer needs to eat on the sidelines to increase his exposure, but this has become a habit he has developed over the years. Sometimes he feels like there is no taste in his mouth and wants to eat some snacks. When he did this, everyone knew he was on to something.
In this game, Yang Rui arranged for Griffin to be the main attacker. He can drive the whole team by attacking hard or attracting defensive points. Yang Rui believes that Bosh will never be able to defend one-on-one in the low post.
Not even if Bosh is at his peak, not to mention he was injured in the playoffs and is not in his best condition? This is a weakness that can be targeted.
The Cavaliers attack, James passes to Wade again, this time Battier pursues the defense in time, and double-teams Chandler. Wade fails to break through, half-turns and passes the ball out, and Bosh takes a step inside the three-point line to catch the ball. , hit a jump shot. 4 to 4.
Bosh is a famous mid-range shooter. After joining the Cavaliers, his main task is to shoot mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll. His hit rate is extremely high and his tactical effect is obvious. But he was in no mood to celebrate and suspected that he was going to be unlucky on the defensive end. Griffin was one of the stars he least wanted to play against.
Paul went to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Griffin, attracting James to switch defense and pass the ball to the center.
James doesn't dare to stay too far away from Paul. As a friend, he knows Paul's characteristics very well. Although his scoring ability is not top-notch, he has good shooting opportunities.
Paul can also use mid-range shots to dominate the game. As a point guard, Paul's shooting percentage has always been among the best, even comparable to some insiders.
After leaving the penalty area, James was unable to interfere with Griffin's air cut.
Griffin squeezed out Chalmers and took a step to pull the ball. Bosh defended in time and blocked his breakthrough route.
In Yang Rui's previous life, it was usually DeAndre Jordan who cut through the middle of the Clippers. So the Clippers' attack was blocked this time. DeAndre Jordan couldn't turn and would definitely choose to force a layup or dunk. Even when the opponent got to the basket, the opponent could foul. .
Griffin is different. He has been practicing supporting passes in the team and entered the playoffs averaging 4 assists per game. In one thing, he is very similar to James. When he breaks through the frame, he can always see the space. He turns slightly and passes the ball to the right baseline.
This time Griffin passed a half-high ball, and Chandler jumped up to catch it comfortably, then dunked the ball with both hands. 6 to 4.
Zhang Lili commented: "The Clippers cooperate with each other from close range. Both of them are so good at jumping. Bosh can't even commit a foul. He can only turn around and watch Chandler take off. Chandler is not a scorer yet. Well, if the interior defense is not good, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to win."
When the Cavaliers attacked, James repeated his old trick and passed the ball to Wade on the side. This time the tactic failed. Battier was positioned closer to the penalty area, two steps away from Wade, preventing breakthroughs but not shots.
Wade feinted a step inside the three-point line, forced a breakthrough but failed to get past Battier, and passed to Bosh. Chandler kept his distance to interfere.
After passing the ball several times, with 24 seconds to go, James missed a jumper from the high post due to Gay's interference, and Griffin grabbed the backcourt rebound.
In the Clippers' position battle, the Cavaliers' formation began to shrink. James retreated in time to block Griffin's air cut. Chalmers pursued Paul with all his strength.
It's not that the Clippers players have nothing to do. Paul caught the ball, took two steps leisurely, and gave Gay 70 degrees to the right. The latter leaned against Wade in the corner and turned to the right. He made a fadeaway jumper, avoided the block and scored. 8 to 4.
No matter how much Wade practices, he can't make up for his innate shortcomings. He is only 193cm tall. Wade has the ability to defend the No. 1 position, and he is not afraid of breakthroughs when defending the No. 2 position and the small forward. He suffers from his height.
Miller couldn't guard Gay, so Adelman arranged for him to guard Battier, who was not holding the ball, while Wade guarded Gay. But Gay is a swingman who rarely breaks through and relies on shooting to score points. People like Gay cannot become the leader of the team, but he is the type that Wade hates.
Wade can't defend well and can shoot. Gay's shooting point ranks among the top three outside stars. One thing is better than the other. Adelman can't let James guard Gay, so Griffin will be even more unable to guard.
As long as Battier is in the Cavaliers, this problem can be solved perfectly. He can shoot three-pointers and his defense is better than Miller. It's a pity that now he is in the Clippers' formation, making the Cavaliers uncomfortable.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James passed the ball to Wade. Wade caught the ball and faced Battier for an emergency mid-range shot. He shot very resolutely and hit the target. 8 to 6.
Although Wade made this shot, it was not an easy shot from an open position. Several members of the Clippers were able to guarantee interference in front of their opponents, which was something the team could not do last season. The Clippers offense is more likely to create open opportunities.
Paul and Griffin played a pick-and-roll and broke through from the left. This time James was farther away. In order to prevent Griffin from cutting through the air, Paul made an emergency stop inside the three-point line and shot a jumper. The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net hollowly. 10 to 6.
Zhang Lijia sighed: "The Clippers haven't even made it to the best offensive lineup yet. They scored five goals in a row in the opening game. They are really going to win the championship this year. The Cavaliers are completely unable to defend against it, and no team has been able to defend against it before."
Yu Jia said: "As long as the Clippers win the championship, Yang Rui will become the number one coach in NBA history. He is different from the Cardinals. Auerbach's eight championships were all won with the Celtics. There was not so much competition in that era. It was fierce, with only a few teams, but Yang Rui led four different teams to win the championship. This is an unprecedented record and an unprecedented record."
Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "I think the Knicks' championship in 1998 can be attributed to Yang Rui. As soon as he left, the Knicks began to decline. Jeff Van Gundy has never proven that he is a master tactician."
It's not just Zhang Lili who thinks so. Many media around the world have said so. Yang Rui was the most influential assistant coach when he debuted because he was too young and his record after joining the Raptors the following year was too good. Van Gundy is labeled as rigid and stubborn in employment. He is not qualified to be compared with Yang Rui, not even a Jerry-style coach.
This year's win is Yang Rui's eighth championship as head coach. Together with the Knicks' championship, the ninth championship surpasses Auerbach.
Most of the Chinese fans who followed the live broadcast felt a sense of pride. Yang Rui had improved the status of the Chinese in the world.
The scariest thing is that he is only 38 years old this year and is still considered a young coach in the basketball circle. Only Brad Stevens of the Nets in the league is younger than him.
Almost all media commentators in the world who broadcast this game will talk about Yang Rui's glorious record. He is recognized as a once-in-a-century god.
