Chapter 834 [MVP-Level Performance]

Duncan won the jump ball, the Spurs attacked first, the players spread out their formation, and the Clippers defended man-to-man.

Zhang Lili said: "Duncan scored on Griffin many times in the past few games. Today Yang Rui still arranged for Griffin to defend Duncan and gave him full trust."

Yu Jia said: "If the Clippers want to win the championship this year, they cannot rely solely on outside offense. Griffin must step up. I think his performance today is very crucial. He is in his prime and cannot always be suppressed by Duncan."

Duncan did not hold the ball in isolation against Griffin, which consumed a lot of energy in the low post. He had to allocate his physical energy reasonably. The Spurs screened and passed the ball several times without any space, and the Clippers followed closely in every position. Diaw went to the high post to get the ball and protected the ball with his back. Parker suddenly made an air cut and he passed the ball.

Curry let Parker two steps away, guarding against breakthroughs but not shots, and easily followed up. He took off at the right opportunity and successfully interfered. Parker's throw missed the basket, and Griffin grabbed the backcourt rebound.

The Spurs players retreated quickly. In six games, the Clippers won all the games with chaos and fast breaks. In this game, the Spurs left Duncan alone to grab offensive rebounds, and the others retreated quickly.

On the surface, it seems that Duncan will not protect the frame if he does not guard back. In fact, Duncan uses his experience to occupy Griffin's position in the backcourt. He cannot grab rebounds and does not allow Griffin to start and participate in the fast break. He can only pass the ball. To teammates. His approach will not increase his statistics, but it is a very good defense.

Curry slowly passed the half-court pass to Parsons, who was outside the three-point line in the middle. He ran to the right corner. Green was in the left corner. Gay was 70 degrees to the left, and the formation was fully extended. .

The Spurs also defended man-to-man. Diaw defended Parsons, and Griffin provided Curry with an off-ball screen from the side to block Parker. Parsons passed the ball.

As soon as Curry caught the ball, there was a mismatch on the court. Duncan knew he couldn't let Curry shoot, so he immediately changed defense and blocked him in front of him, preventing him from catching the ball and taking action immediately. At the same time, Parker bypassed the pursuit defense.

Griffin didn't just stand there stupidly, he turned around and made an air cut towards the basket. Curry took a step towards Duncan, moved laterally and passed the ball from Duncan's side to the penalty area. Griffin received the ball and leapt up, smashing the ball with one hand. 2 to o.

Once Duncan meets Curry, it will be difficult to turn around and defend the penalty area. Diaw is only 2o3cm tall. Even if he retreats to the basket, his ability to protect the frame is very poor.

Yang Rui did not allow Faried and Chandler in order to open up the formation and attack. Once Duncan is misplaced to defend the defender, there will be opportunities inside. The Clippers also played a lot of this kind of coordination last game. When the Spurs get Splitter and Baynes, they can drop back to withstand Griffin, but this lineup doesn't work now. Once in the Twin Towers, it will be difficult for the Spurs to defend the perimeter.

This tactic is simple and effective. During the Lakers' three consecutive championships, the three major insiders could shoot, and the Spurs were sore with just a side screen.

Yang Rui has always hoped that Griffin can do Yao Ming's job in the middle, but he has never been able to do it well. Griffin can do it well and is better at side cuts and ball distribution. Parsons is actually the key figure of the Clippers. He is the only one on the team who has the height to play the 4th position and can guarantee a shooting percentage from outside.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan and Parker played a pick-and-roll. Parker broke through to the right with the ball, attracting Griffin to change defense and the ball was distributed in the middle. Parsons let go of Diaw and blocked Duncan, preventing Duncan from using the slow three. step. Duncan passed the ball to Diaw on the right baseline, and Gay let Leonard go to cover.

Diaw took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Leonard, and Parsons jumped out to defend. He was a step too late and could only slightly interfere. Leonard hit a three-pointer. 2 to 3.

Yang Rui clapped twice. It doesn't matter if the ball goes in. The replacement players have done a very good job these times. Parsons is not a defensive expert due to his physical fitness, but he is very motivated, which is worth it. praise.

Parsons doesn't just play the game because it's a tiebreaker, he always plays especially hard against the Spurs. He and Leonard entered the NBA in the same year, and although there was a big gap in the draft, he was rated higher than Leonard in the first two years. This year, Leonard was rated higher. He was a little unconvinced and wanted to compete. .

The Clippers attacked, Curry brought it to the frontcourt and passed to Parsons.

He moved into position and repeated the tactics just now.

After Curry caught the ball, Duncan was in a dilemma, keeping two steps away, ready to make Griffin's air cut at any time. Curry looked at the distance, caught the ball, took a step back with his left foot and was about to take the shot. Duncan's explosive power is poor. If he steps forward to interfere, he will not have time to take off. Parker's pursuit from the side will not have time to block the shot.

Curry is the kind of player who always dares to take a shot. If he can't make a shot, he dares to take another shot, even if it is Leonard who is guarding him. But when facing a defensive expert, his hit rate is not guaranteed. He has absolute confidence in his shooting ability. The ball is comfortable and he hits the ball cleanly. 5 to 3.

The home fans, uniformly wearing red T-shirts, stood up and applauded, and many people at the scene shouted "mVp" together.

Griffin also contributed to this goal. He played strictly according to the tactics and attracted the attention of the defense without catching the ball. An unsheathed sword is also a deterrent.

The Spurs attacked, Parker and Duncan played a pick-and-roll. Curry let Parker go two steps away, bypassing the screen from the inside to catch up. Parker failed to break through and pass to the middle. Griffin leaned against Duncan. Duncan protected the ball with his back and passed again. go out.

It took 2o seconds, but the Spurs players passed back and forth without creating any space. The Clippers used to focus on zone defense, but today they changed to man-to-man. Even someone like Parker who is not accurate in three-pointers will find it difficult to shoot easily from the outside. Leonard forced a single on Green, turned around and made a fadeaway jumper to avoid the block, but missed due to interference.

Griffin blocked Duncan and helped Parsons grab the backcourt rebound. Curry responded and fell into position again.

Fast breaks are most effective when the opponent is unprepared. Today, the Spurs took one big team and four small ones, and they were fully prepared at first glance. If the Clippers force a fast break, they may not get good results, and they are prone to mistakes. Yang Rui asked Gay to be ready to fight the Spurs from the beginning today.

The side off-ball cover tactic was used again. Parker caught up with Curry. Duncan stared at Griffin and went to the low post without any misalignment. At this time, Parsons ran to the right corner and made way for Curry. Extensive singles area.

With a simple movement, Popovich immediately understood Yang Rui's intention and frowned.

Yang Rui didn't want Gay to hold the ball and attack, but to draw Leonard to one side. In two games with the Spurs, Leonard did an excellent job guarding Curry at a certain period of time, and the Spurs won both games. But with Gay here, Leonard can't defend Curry, otherwise Gay can also catch the ball and challenge.

Curry dribbled the ball under his hips twice in a row and took a step towards the center. He dribbled the ball behind his left hand to his right hand and stepped back. He made a three-point jumper and avoided Parker's block.

Parker tried his best to interfere, but it didn't work, and the ball went hollow into the net. 8 to 3.

Zhang Lili shouted: "Beautiful, Curry scored two three-pointers in the opening game and also sent an assist. This is an MVP-level performance. This season, he has perfectly replaced Chris Paul and became the league's number one point guard. .”

Yu Jia said: "Curry's progress to this level should be related to Paul's words and deeds. Curry recently said in an interview that he and Nash also learned a lot, and maybe he will become stronger in the future."

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Curry's physical fitness is average. He was very unpopular with the Bucks back then. The Bucks boss later sold the team because he regretted trading him."

While the two were chatting, Parker beat Curry hard, his pull-up jump shot missed due to interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Parsons. The Spurs' outside offense was weak and they were in trouble.
