Chapter 838 [Switch Freely, Fast or Slow]

The Nets attacked, Deron and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and Farid blocked the way when they broke through on the left.

Deron took a step to the center, leaned close to Farid and pulled the ball with his right hand. He took a long step to the left and turned around to successfully pass the ball. He picked up the basket with his left hand and scored a goal. 5 to 2.

As a point guard, Deron is strong enough to fight against Farid. Ordinary guards may not be able to maintain their center of gravity when running into an orc. In this life, Deron was selected by the Bobcats, and his early career evaluation was average. Fortunately, he did not suffer any major injuries.

This season, the agile Deron averaged 18.4 points, 3 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game in the regular season. He is still the hottest star point guard in the league. The Nets' ability to advance to the Finals is inseparable from his outstanding performance.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the word "underestimation" was never used to describe Deron. He was a regular on the overestimation list like Roy. In this life, many people think that he was seriously underestimated in the early stages of his career.

He has won the All-Star Skills Championship, with a peak performance of 57 points in a single game and 9 3-pointers in the half. Deron has also played neck-and-neck with peak Baron Davis several times.

When the Clippers attacked, the players all spread out. With a simple movement from the side, Curry passed the ball to Middleton in the middle. The latter attracted Favors to switch defense and pass to Griffin. Griffin took the ball and took a step. He was stuck by Joe Johnson and was unable to hit the basket at full speed. He took another step and changed direction in the middle. Yao Ming reached the basket and raised his arm to cover Griffin.

Griffin has no space to shoot, and he can't find an opening if he wants to pass Faried. Faried's position was too close to the basket, on the same line as Yao Ming, and Griffin's line of sight was blocked.

Griffin could no longer dribble and hurriedly passed the ball to Gay nearby, making a mistake. Butler defended tightly, went around in time to steal the ball, and quickly made a single pass.

Butler was very fast, dribbling the ball into the frontcourt, and relied on Gay to bulldoze the ball for a layup. 5 to 4.

Because of his appearance and body, there are rumors that Butler is the illegitimate son of Michael Jordan. He can jump on the spot and dunk with his head flat on the basket. He often bulldozes breakthroughs and has bottomless physical strength. This physical quality is indeed a bit Reminiscent of Jordan.

Butler has improved again this year and has developed the ability to attack with the ball. He is by no means just a hard-working 3D player. Of course, he also has shortcomings. His registered height is 201cm, but his wingspan is only 202cm. This short length is a bit embarrassing and will affect his upper limit of growth.

When the Clippers attacked, Yang Rui shouted to the sidelines: "Tactics at position 1, spread out!"

The players understood this. Middleton stopped looking for off-ball screens and waited for opportunities to catch and shoot at a position of about 60 degrees. Griffin stood in the right corner. Favors kept a distance from him to prevent breakthroughs. Not anti-shooting.

The bottom corner is the only position where Griffin can be accurate in his three-pointers. All 12 of his three-pointers in the regular season were from this point, and his shooting rate was a bit miserable, only 27.3%. Yang Rui didn't intend to let Griffin hit the basket. It was a stupid choice to challenge Yao Ming near the penalty area.

In the last round of the series, Yao Ming was doubting Hibbert's life when he was guarding him in the penalty area. He didn't need to move very fast, he just needed to stand still and rely on his height to interfere. If Griffin used the penalty area line to turn around and hit the ball more in this series, then Two tricks, just find yourself uncomfortable.

After the players were all separated, Curry directly challenged Deron in the middle, dribbling the ball continuously and taking a step to the right. Deron accurately judged and followed closely. Curry pulled the ball with his right hand and quickly turned and moved sideways to the left. Facing the frame, he stepped back and distanced himself from Deron, and took a jump shot.

Deron's lateral speed has been criticized. He is better at guarding the 2nd position than guarding the point guard. This time, before he took a step laterally, Curry had already shot the ball. The shot was very comfortable and he hit another three-pointer.

8 to 4, Curry scored his 6th point.

On the sidelines, "Cornerstone" Thackeray waved a towel and led several teammates on the bench to start dancing. His strength stole the spotlight, and the cheers from the home fans also became louder and louder.

The Nets attacked. After the pick-and-roll, Deron passed to Joe Johnson who was running from the side. Griffin switched defense in time. Joe Johnson broke through with the ball in a misplaced position,

Europe stepped into the penalty area from the middle, faced Griffin's defensive throw, and avoided the block to score. 8 to 6.

When the Clippers attacked, the players opened up and allowed Curry to challenge one-on-one, using the star's personal abilities to disrupt the opponent's defense.

Curry made an action one meter away from the three-point line. He handed the ball to his right hand and took a step to the right. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed the direction to the left with his left hand. Deron quickly moved laterally. As soon as he stepped down with his right foot, Curry's left hand came behind him. Dribbling, the ball was handed to his right hand again, he picked up the ball, stepped back, and shot a three-point jumper.

Deron was staggered and could only stretch out his hand to interfere slightly. Joe Johnson came up from the side to help defend and couldn't cover him. He was on the floor and couldn't jump up. The ball was slightly deflected and came out of the frame. The rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming.

The Clippers players returned to defense at full speed, and the zone defense was in place. Curry was not upset if the shot missed. The opportunity came up, so it was right to play like this.

The Nets' offense was blocked and there was no room for several passes. 24 seconds almost ran out. Deron missed Curry's emergency stop jumper in isolation. Griffin grabbed the rebound to Middleton, who passed it to Gay. The three men in the boat launched a fast attack.

Gay passed the ball to Farid in the middle, and the Orc took three steps with the ball. Favors was not a vegetarian, but he was tall and heavy, and his speed was still slightly slower. The side was not blocked, and Farid succeeded in a layup. 10 to 6.

When the Nets attacked, Deron brought it to the frontcourt and passed it to Joe Johnson. The latter passed to Yao Ming, who was cutting in the air. Yao Ming singled out Griffin in the low post on the right side, turned around and shot the ball. 10 to 8.

The Clippers attacked, Stevens rushed to the players and called for a change of position, Jimmy Butler targeted Curry, and Deron went to guard Middleton at position 2.

Curry wants to challenge one-on-one again, which makes it more difficult. Butler's speed can keep up with the defender, and his close strength can affect Curry's dribbling rhythm. Curry distributes the ball again.

The Clippers players patiently looked for opportunities, and it was difficult to create gaps with back and forth passes. As the 24 seconds approached, Griffin singled out Joe Johnson for a pull-up jumper that missed, and Yao Ming got the rebound.

The starting styles of the two teams compete with each other. The Nets attack the penalty area in a positional battle and the Clippers are difficult to defend. If the Nets players miss the shot, the Clippers will quickly counterattack, and the Twin Towers will also have difficulty defending. In the first quarter, the two sides competed with each other. , fans are in for a treat.

In the positional battle, the Clippers' offensive efficiency was not high, and the first quarter ended with a 2-point deficit at 32-34.

Curry can switch freely between playing with and without the ball, and he also succeeded in several mismatch breakthroughs. He performed best, making 5 of 9 shots and 3 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 13 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.

Gay became the Clippers' second scoring point. Jimmy Butler took over the main offensive task after going to defend Curry. He played for 12 minutes and scored 10 points, four of which were mid-range shots.

The Nets are blooming a lot. Joe Johnson, who scored the most points, only had 9 points, and all five starting players scored.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Livingston, Danny Green, Parsons, Draymond Green, and Chandler to focus on the offensive position and strengthen the interior defense.

Playing fast in the first quarter was in response to the Nets' twin-tower tactics. Now Yang Rui is asking to play slow. The fast runner Wesley Johnson continues to sit on the bench. It is difficult to get a chance to perform in this finals.

Veterans Nash and Brand also continue to guard the water cooler and will not appear unless it enters garbage time.

The Nets sent CJ Watson, Marcus Thornton, Kirilenko, Telitovich, and Andre Blatche.

Stevens stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and his expression serious. He is not afraid of the Clippers in the starting competition, but he is not sure about the bench competition. The Clippers' bench is already very strong, and now they have two starters with them.
