Chapter 808 [3 Types, Single Section Suppression]

The Clippers attacked. As soon as Curry dribbled the ball across half court, Chandler pulled to the outside for a pick-and-roll.

There are always fans who always say that Curry and Paul are "system players" who only rely on pick-and-rolls. In fact, everyone knows that players who can cooperate are more likely to win. But among some idiots, cooperation means rubbish, and stars must be unique to gain their recognition. And getting their approval is... useless.

Paul has excellent anticipation and can use small moves to make up for his height disadvantage. He is strong and quick, so he has been selected to the best defensive team many times. But Paul cannot make up for his weakness in pick-and-roll defense. He can only chase the defender and make him misplaced to guard the big man. He can neither interfere with shooting nor prevent air cuts.

After joining the Mavericks, the center behind Paul is no longer Chandler, who is highly mobile, but Gasol, a slow-moving human shield center. This weakness has emerged.

Curry moved laterally to get rid of Paul. Seeing that Gasol was far away, he made a one-meter jumper from the left three-point line.

Curry had shot farther just now, but Gasol knew his weaknesses, so how could he dare to defend from beyond the three-point line? In that way, even if Curry doesn't shoot or break through, he will still have an opportunity to pass to Griffin. The latter can rely on his physical advantage to beat Nowitzki to the basket, and the Mavericks still count on him to protect the penalty area.

Paul took a step around the screen and was too late to take off. Curry was almost open and hit another one without any pressure. 9 to 4.

Barkley said: "Curry shot 3 of 4 three-pointers in the opening game. He is going to do well today."

Kenny Smith said: "To deal with Curry, you must double-team. Teams that don't double-team him will lose miserably. Of course, double-teaming him may not win. The Clippers have other pitchers and Griffin."

O'Neal nodded: "The Clippers are still the strongest team in the league this year. If I want to beat them, I think I will have a chance to wait until the outside players are not feeling good."

When the Mavericks attack, it's not that easy for Paul and Gasol to make pull-up jump shots in pick-and-rolls. The Clippers players switch defenses too quickly, and the Mavericks lack the ability to cut quickly inside, making them more daring to switch defenses.

Paul was not a vegetarian either. He pretended to pass the ball to the middle, glanced at Gasol, changed direction with the ball and passed Griffin, and quickly stepped up to the basketball and scored. 9 to 6.

The Clippers attacked, and after Chandler screened, Nowitzki turned into a pick-and-roll defense. Paul pursued the defense. The two flanked Curry, forcing him to pass the ball. Chandler has no shooting range, so it doesn't matter if he gets the ball from the outside.

Chandler's offense was poor, but he was still good at moving the ball. Curry passed to the center first, and Chandler immediately passed to Griffin who ran 7o degrees to the right.

Griffin took a step inside the three-point line and became open. Marion let go of Middleton on the bottom line to cover, and Griffin passed the ball to the right corner.

Gasol had no choice but to go out of the penalty area to defend Middleton. The Mavericks' hybrid defense evolved from a zone defense, and the weak point was in the two corners. Middleton is not just good at shooting. After a feint, he changed direction and passed Gasol, and made a shot at a 45-degree emergency stop. 11 to 6.

ccTV5 Zhang Lijia said: "Middleton was promoted this year and has built up his confidence in these dozen games. He plays very smart and averages 10 points per game. He is a qualified role player."

Yu Jia said: "Star teammates attract defense, and he often gets good shooting opportunities. In the summer, people were discussing that the Clippers swingmen Korver and Tony Allen were gone, and Shane Battier was retired, and his strength has declined. Now look at it. They were too many swingmen.”

The Mavericks attacked. After Paul picked and rolled, he once again stormed Griffin and used a change of rhythm to get to the basket, attracting Chandler to cover up and pass the ball to the right side to Nowitzki.

Middleton let go of Marion to cover the defense, and had good awareness. Nowitzki passed the ball to Marion, who made an open mid-range shot within one step of the three-point line. 11 to 8.

No matter how unscientific Marion's shooting movements are, his shooting percentage is good. After arriving in Dallas, he shot less three-pointers, but his mid-range shots are still very accurate. The most outrageous thing is that Marion has a free throw shooting rate of 81% in his career. , higher than LeBron James.

The Mavericks' strength this year lies in their offense. The five players are all selfless and the ball moves very well. But the Mavericks' defense isn't top-notch.

As soon as the Clippers hit the pick-and-roll, they were open.

Griffin caught the ball on the right side, singled out Gasol, and hit a mid-range shot after taking a step. 13 to 8.

Carlisle reluctantly requested a timeout. The Clippers' tactics restrained Gasol, who struggled on the defensive end.

There are three types of center defense. One is the adduction type, which protects the basket. The necessary conditions are height, long arms, and sufficient strength, which can interfere with opponents in the penalty area and nearby areas with high quality. Yao Ming, Gasol, and Hibbert are this type.

The second type is the expansion type, which means he is good at assisting defense, guarding against pick-and-rolls, and can force defenders to the outside. The necessary conditions are fast speed, good awareness of assisting defense, and a large defensive area. You can go to the outside to defend and assist defense at any time. Such as Chandler, DeAndre Jordan, Howard. There are also insiders who have both, but they are more or less biased. ?

The third type is one that no one can guard against. There are many such insiders in the league. Except for those who are particularly good at offense, most of them are fringe players. ?

Gasol is excellent at defending near the penalty area. He has excellent awareness and is good at grabbing positions. He can use his height and wingspan to interfere with attackers near the penalty area. He can also interfere with defenders who rush in. However, the opponent does not break through to catch the ball and shoot directly. , he has a big head.

The Mavericks' overall tactics tend to be strict in the penalty area. Both insiders are big men. Nowitzki is still 35 years old. As long as the Clippers players can ensure their shooting percentage from the outside, they will definitely lose.

Carlisle made targeted adjustments, replacing Gasol and replacing him with lanky inside man Brandon White. White is a tall and lanky inside man with a long wingspan who moves quickly and is good at guarding pick-and-rolls.

White's offense is not bad either. He doesn't play much time but is efficient. Currently playing 19.3 minutes, he can score 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.9 blocks, and his shooting percentage is as high as 67.7%.

The Mavericks attacked, Paul singled out Curry, dribbled under his hips continuously, changed direction, and hit a mid-range shot with a sudden stop. 13 to 1o.

When the Clippers attacked, Carlisle's substitution took effect immediately. White and Paul guarded Curry together. It was difficult for him to get an easy shot or break through. He passed the ball to Griffin to challenge Nowitzki, who was interfering with his low-post singles. The shot missed and Marion grabbed the rebound.

After Gasol comes off the court, Marion has to take on the important task of protecting rebounds. He can play as a power forward and has averaged double figures in rebounds per game in many seasons. Now at the age of 35, his quality is still outstanding, averaging 3o minutes per game this season. , can grab 7.8 rebounds, and his efficiency is not as good as when he was young.

After two more rounds, Griffin fouled Paul who broke through, resulting in a dead ball. Yang Rui made a substitution, Chandler took a rest, Rudy Gay came on, and played a guest role at the 4th position to start small ball tactics.

With Gasol resting, the Mavericks don't have a heavy inside man to attack the basket. Although Chandler's absence will weaken the Clippers' defense, Yang Rui is more willing to attack with his opponents. It's hard for Griffin to guard Nowitzki, and it's equally difficult for Nowitzki to guard Griffin.

The Clippers only need four people to open up, and allowing the stars to duel is an opportunity.

Nowitzki is not as reliable as Gasol in defending the penalty area. As he gets older, his style of play becomes softer and softer. Griffin has taken up the offensive banner. Gay has no problem guarding White. On the offensive end, the two are facing each other. Just like a mismatch, Gay can also play in singles.

The Mavericks could no longer double-team Curry, and the team's offense was trapped in a zone defense.

The Clippers' offense blossomed more, and the point difference gradually widened, leading 32 to 21 at the quarter.

Curry counterattacked quickly near the end and hit a three-pointer on a rush shot. He made 6 of 10 shots in a single quarter and 4 of 6 three-pointers. He scored 16 points and 2 assists. His performance was better than Paul's 6 points and 4 assists.

ps: The score error in the previous chapter has been corrected, the driver lost two points, sorry...
