Chapter 806 [Ecstasy’s Little Thin Legs, only Those Who Love to Touch Will Win]

After two days of rest, the Clippers played at home on the 4th and defeated the Rockets 137-118.

Although the Clippers won a lot of points, the Rockets actually had a chance, but they couldn't do three-pointers and missed many good shooting opportunities. They only made 7 of 25 three-pointers overall, with a shooting percentage of 28%. Harden was outside the three-point line. 7 hits.

Led by Curry and Danny Green, the Clippers made 16 of 38 three-pointers.

In the fifth game, the Clippers defeated the Magic 1o5 to 98 in an away game. The victory was even more thrilling. At the last moment, Griffin's mid-range shot and Curry's free throws sealed the victory.

Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored a huge double-double with 30 points, 21 rebounds and 3 assists, while Chandler was beaten with only 8 points, 10 rebounds and 5 fouls.

Yang Rui discovered a problem. Chandler is weaker than last season. And his weakness is something you can see at a glance just by wearing shorts.

Recently, Chandler posted a photo of himself and a female fan in the gym on Facebook. An embarrassing thing happened. In the photo, Chandler's legs were thinner than the 1.7-meter-tall female fan, and they were thicker. The upper limbs are somewhat disproportionate.

Many people left comments below, suspecting that the photo was photoshopped, but it is not true. Chandler didn't know what he did on vacation this summer, and his legs became so thin. Although his legs were also thin last year, they were not to this point.

Many NBA superstars have thin legs, represented by top guards Jordan, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Kobe and others. Especially Tracy McGrady, thin legs have almost become a label for him, and can be as famous as dry pull and sleepy eyes.

Of course, there are also big men with thin calves, such as Garnett and Bosh. They are representatives of skinny insiders, but as a center, Chandler's thin legs are not a good thing, which means that he cannot resist people in the low post.

Last season, Chandler was already very thin at 110 kilograms. This season, he actually dropped to 107 kilograms, which is similar to Draymond Green, who is 104 kilograms at 2o1cm tall.

Losing weight increases Chandler's mobility and allows him to defend a larger area, which is good for him personally and will extend his career. This is now popular in the league, and Duncan relies on weight loss to maintain his condition.

But this is a bad thing for the Clippers, because the team needs an excellent big man as a meat shield to withstand the opponent's strong men. Now Chandler can't do this job well. Griffin likes to play fast breaks but doesn't want to do it. The Clippers' only human shield is Thackeray.

Thackeray is 213cm tall and weighs 12o kilograms. Except for his resistance to people, his other skills are not good. Yang Rui cannot give him too much playing time unless the opponent's inside attack is too strong and he has to strengthen the defense of the penalty area.

Yang Rui did not talk to Chandler alone and decided to respect his choice. Chandler was also famous as a "glass man" in the early stage. It is easier for him to stay healthy if he loses weight. It is better to be able to play than to miss. But after this season, Yang Rui is ready to replace the center, and Chandler is no longer the most suitable candidate for the Clippers.

According to the league's selection standards, Chandler's individual defense ability has decreased. It is impossible for him to be selected for the All-Defensive Team this year. His peak period is about to pass. As a blue-collar player, offensive tactics are of little use. If the defense is not good, it will become dispensable.

Knowing that there are weaknesses in penalty area defense, Yang Rui has no intention of making up for it through trades this season. It will be difficult to trade for someone with better defense than Tyson Chandler in the mid-term.

This is not a big problem. Chandler just suffers when facing tough inside players who like to attack the basket. There are fewer and fewer such players. They lost a lot of points in the first few games because Brook Lopez, Dwight Howard, Cousins ​​and Vucevic were inside.

Even the least famous Vucevic is not a fuel-efficient player on the offensive end. He has gained a lot more weight than when he was a rookie. He is 213cm tall and weighs 118kg. He has strong attack ability and mid-range shooting, and he can hook with both hands. , excellent rebounding.

It's a pity that because of the weight gain, his lateral movement has become worse and his defense is very bad. It can be said that he has practiced wrongly. He has taken a path that goes against the times and can score good data, but it is difficult to lead the team to win.

On November 9, the Clippers defeated the Rockets again 112-94.

Those who can attack Chandler in isolation may not be without weaknesses. For example, Howard is as bad at free throws as ever. If he can't prevent his attack, he will be fouled.

Howard made 5 of 11 free throws and scored 21 points and 8 rebounds but his efficiency was average.

The Clippers' strategy of focusing on defending outside shots made Harden even more miserable. He made 4 of 15 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He only had 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

The strategy arranged by Yang Rui is completely aimed at the Rockets. Harden is not too strong this season. It is not difficult to guard against him. Find a tall and long-armed person on the outside to interfere with his shooting. If Harden breaks through, he will be double-teamed immediately. , preventing him from starting.

As long as Harden can't use the European step and can't hit porcelain, even if he can score, the efficiency will not be too high, and his most efficient offensive method will not be used.

To put it bluntly, Harden is "destined to score three points, rely on free throws for seven points, and he will win only if he loves to touch."

The Clippers' next schedule is very favorable. Their opponents are not strong inside and rely mainly on outside shooting to attack. They cannot break the Clippers' defense at all. The Clippers are very mobile in every position and can defend three-pointers with ease.

In November, they won 12 consecutive games.

The Thunder fell to the Clippers twice, once by 23 points. The offense still relied on the second team leader, and the defense was worse than last season. As a blue-collar center, Perkins' defense can't keep up.

The Nets also lost to the Clippers by 19 points. Yao Ming also struggled to defend the Clippers' outside pick-and-roll. He is almost 34 years old and moves too slowly. The weakness in defense against pick-and-rolls becomes more obvious. The Clippers were struggling from the outside. Curry made 8 of 15 three-pointers and Green made 5 of 8 three-pointers, easily breaking through the Nets' defense.

On November 29, the highlight of the Western Conference this season will be staged, and the Clippers will face the challenge of the Mavericks at home.

Since point guard Chris Paul joined the Mavericks, fans have been waiting for this game for a long time. The Mavericks have lost four games and are ranked third in the Western Conference, behind the Clippers and Spurs.

In the coaching competition, Rick Carlisle is one of the few top coaches who is not a "Jerry type" coach. This is a bit convoluted, but it is a fact. There are too many Jerry type coaches in the league, and there is no other type of coach that can compare.

In 2011, Carlisle led the Mavericks to defeat Yang Rui's Clippers. Although the Clippers had just been rebuilt that year, it was a rare performance.

Player competition, whether it is NBA officials or other media, selects the top ten point guards in the league, and the top two are Paul and Curry. Curry ranked ahead of Paul for the first time. Many people were dissatisfied and thought Paul was stronger.

The Internet has never stopped discussing the two. Most basketball experts believe that now is Curry's era. Because at different times, the point guard is given different missions.

Paul is a traditional point guard who focuses on pick-and-roll, coordination, passing, and organization and support; while Curry is a new type of defender who focuses on personal offense and outside threats, which strengthens the scoring ability of this position.

Take two people from the past 1996 class as examples, one is Nash and the other is Iverson. Nash is the conductor on the court, but Iverson is more beautiful and popular.

In this era, small ball is rampant, there are very few traditional point guards, and combo guards are popular. Paul can only give up his light to Curry. In the current All-Star voting, Curry is also far ahead of Paul in the number of votes and is likely to win the vote again.

Another gimmick is that Monta Ellis has also joined the Mavericks. Now there is a huge gap in popularity between him and Curry. I don’t know how I feel about this, and whether I want to do my best in this game.

Both teams are also stars inside. There are many things to watch in this game. People believe that it will be a battle between dragons and tigers.
