Chapter 830 [The Spurs’ Life Gate]
ccTV5 broadcast the game live. Zhang Lili said: "The Clippers' two attacks took less than five seconds. The transition between offense and defense was too fast. I really dare to shoot with this kind of ball. It really scored!"
Yu Jia said: "The Spurs have to find someone to deal with Curry. If he finds the touch, he may be able to maintain it for a whole game. No one can beat the Clippers when Curry is having trouble!"
The Spurs attacked, Fournier ran to the baseline, and Curry chased after him, keeping his distance.
Zone defense does not mean that the position remains unchanged. If there is no one in his own area, Curry will not just stand there and wait for someone to attack. This is an improvement in the awareness of assisting defense.
Some players in the zone defense system really only stand in position and don't care about others. It seems that if they don't lose points in their own area, they defend well. No matter how talented such people are, they can only be role players, or they will be discarded directly. There are many in NBA Such an example.
Parker once again used a pick-and-roll to get rid of Green, and passed Griffin for a layup. 5 to 2.
In the Clippers' position battle, the players are spread out. Griffin provides Green with no-ball cover from the side. Faried attracts defenses from the bottom line, ready to cut and grab rebounds at any time.
Curry passed half the ball without passing the ball. He suddenly stepped back and shot a jumper from the middle, which missed the basket due to Parker's interference.
After the shot, the Clippers had Farid alone to grab the rebound, and the other four quickly returned to defense. The Spurs use a two-tower tactic. They only need three people to attack quickly. When four people return to defense, they can only slow down.
Parker's breakthrough with the ball was blocked by Farid. The "Orc" had better mobility and was forced directly beyond the three-point line, preventing Parker from mentioning it.
Duncan received the ball in the middle and feinted, relying on Green to get inside, and squeezed into the basket in three slow steps, attracting Griffin's defense and passing inside to assist his teammates.
Unfortunately, the No. 21 rookie was not fast enough. Farid quickly returned to help Green block Duncan.
Duncan has a very good sense of passing. As soon as Farid retreated, he immediately thought that Parker was empty. Parker's mid-range shot was pretty good, not far from Duncan. He hit the ball immediately after receiving the ball, and Green could only interfere slightly when he pounced. 5 to 4.
As long as there is interference, Yang Rui will be satisfied. The Clippers' defensive rotation is very good, especially Green's defensive ability has been improving. It will be a matter of time before he enters the best defensive team. As long as another Green can practice again, the Clippers' defense will be better. It is entirely possible to move up a level and become number one in the league.
The Clippers attacked, Curry brought the ball to the frontcourt, and directly singled out Parker. He dribbled under his crotch and took a step to the right, attracting Parker to move laterally. He dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left hand and stepped back to make a three-pointer from the middle.
Parker took off with all his strength, tried his best to close his eyes to no avail, and the ball went in. 8 to 4.
Curry hit two three-pointers in the opening game, and the fans burst into applause and shouted "mVp" together!
The Spurs attacked, and the offense started with Parker. This time he passed the ball to Leonard from the side, and the latter passed to Duncan in the low post on the right, forming a triangle with Fournier.
Duncan singled out Griffin, leaned back twice, found his favorite position, then turned around and shot a jumper, using his height and wingspan advantage to avoid the block, and hit the ball at a 45-degree angle. 8 to 6.
Duncan's move is nothing special. He just feints his shoulders and turns towards the center or the baseline. But let alone Griffin, Jordan can't cover it. Whether he can score or not depends on his touch.
The Clippers attacked, in the same position as before, and the Clippers players spread out again, allowing Curry to hold the ball and hit Parker alone.
Yu Jia smiled and said: "Curry has been dueling continuously. Is it possible that today's tactic is to let him attack at will while others watch?"
Zhang Lili said: "Today Curry won the MVP trophy. Yang Rui may want him to perform well this time and score high points to prove himself. Curry's one-on-one strategy is a tactic, and many teams double-team him from the outside. . Now there are shooters on both sides, and outside players double-team him, and there will be opportunities when the ball is distributed."
Curry started and took a step to the left. Parker wanted to keep up and took a step back.
Many people think that Curry is a top shooter with average skills. In fact, Curry's ball control is also top-notch. He leaves an average impression on people because of his simple and rough style of play.
Curry stopped suddenly, stepped back from the three-point line with his left foot, and shot a 7o-degree jumper from the left.
At this time, Parker mainly focuses on preventing breakthroughs. He doesn't know whether he will stop and retreat next, so there is room for shooting and a time difference in shooting.
Parker didn't stumble and immediately jumped up to block the shot, but Curry's shot was too fast. Unless the defender was much taller than him, he could only interfere. It’s nothing unusual in the nba to be accurate in three-pointers when covering without the ball and receiving open shots. There are a lot of people who shoot more than 40%, but the three-pointers are accurate and fast, or they can create their own opportunities with the ball and create accurate three-pointers. Curry ranks first in the league.
Parker's interference was ineffective, and the ball drew a perfect arc and hit the net hollowly. 11 to 6.
To say which position of the Spurs has the weakest defense, there is no doubt that it is the No. 1 position. Parker's defense is average, and Mills on the bench is even defensively vulnerable. Curry's one-on-one tactic is a very suitable tactic.
Twelve years ago, Parker broke Curry without any discussion, and Curry's statistics were not good every time he encountered him. But since last season, the situation has changed, and Curry and Parker have the upper hand. One of them is improving, the other is declining.
Curry is more efficient in challenging Parker alone than others in challenging the Twin Towers. The coaching staff arranges tactics in a mathematical way.
Facing Parker, Curry only needs to guarantee a 33.3% three-point shooting rate, which is equal to 50% of two-pointers. In the regular season competition between the two sides, it is difficult for Griffin to hit 50% when playing inside with the Spurs.
At this time, Popovich was not calm on the sidelines and yelled at the players to change defense.
The Spurs coaching staff is prepared to switch to Leonard for single defense if Curry finds the shooting feeling, but in this case, Parker will be forced to defend the swingman and suffer a height disadvantage.
When the Spurs attacked, Parker played a pick-and-roll with Duncan in the middle and forced his way into the basket to attract double-teams. Fournier faced Curry's interference and shot a three-point jumper, but the ball missed the basket.
Popovich frowned even more. Fournier is a good prospect with potential, and he is willing to cultivate it, but his psychological quality is not strong enough, and his shooting percentage will decrease when he hits someone, even if this person will definitely not be able to cover him.
Griffin grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it long to Green. Green and Duncan were misaligned. He dribbled to the right side of the three-point line and stopped suddenly, grabbing a three-pointer.
This was a smart choice. Duncan was put in a difficult position and had no choice but to keep his distance. After Green took off, Duncan hurriedly stepped forward to defend. His long arms almost covered the basketball, causing severe interference and the ball bounced out of the frame.
But this attack is not over yet. The reason why Green shot resolutely is because he believes in the speed of his teammates. Farid Bisplit rushed to the basket first, jumped high to grab the offensive rebound, and made a two-handed tip-in from close range. 13 to 6.
The Spurs attacked, Parker passed the ball in the middle, Facing Green, Duncan feinted and led inside. The Clippers' formation contracted on three sides, forming an encirclement.
If Split could make a mid-range shot, Duncan would have an opportunity to pass the ball to the left baseline. Unfortunately, he couldn't. The defensive players were all under the basket. Split couldn't easily make a shot when he rushed to the basket. Duncan had to divide the ball to the outside. .
Parker caught the ball and made a mid-range shot. Green successfully interfered with the save and the ball missed the basket.
Faried judged the direction of the ball in the right direction, blocked the backcourt rebound, and passed it to Curry. The four Clippers quickly stepped down.
Curry passed the ball to Griffin in the middle. Facing Duncan, Griffin lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough. Just as he was about to go deep into the basket, Duncan committed a foul. Griffin casually threw the ball to the basket but failed to score. to the free throw line.
Griffin made one of two free throws, 14-6.
Popovich asked for a timeout, knowing he had to adjust. The Clippers found the Spurs' lifeline at the start.
