Chapter 860 [Love and Hate 2 Is Boundless, Asking You when Will You Fall in Love]

The Hawks' offensive routine has many similarities with the Clippers. It mainly relies on pick-and-rolls in the middle, looking for opportunities with off-ball screens on the sides, emptying the inside, and combining inside and outside. The difference is that the Clippers stars take more shots, while the Hawks take more even shots from various positions.

Yang Rui arranged man-to-man marking and actively switched defenses.

Teague played a pick-and-roll with Millsap in the middle. He failed to pass Draymond through the breakthrough and passed the ball to the middle. Danny Green kept a distance in front of Millsap and interfered. The two were about the same height and Millsap could not take the shot easily. .

Millsap passed a pass to Korver, who was running from the side. The latter was entangled by Curry and had a height advantage, but he was pressed against the man and the rhythm of the shot was not good. He passed to Horford, who was pulled 60 degrees to the right. .

Horford stepped towards the frame, took the ball and changed direction to break through, but failed to pass Gasol. He protected the ball with his back and then looked for his teammates.

After sending away Griffin, the Clippers' defense has improved significantly this year. The tactics of one big player leading four small players, or five small players dying, give all teams a headache. Clippers players are not afraid of mismatches at all. Even Gasol is not a human shield. When he first entered the league, he played small forward, then changed to power forward, and then to center.

Gasol's defense is flawed and his strength is average. Many people say he is weak. In fact, with his height of 213cm and super long wingspan of 230cm, he rarely suffers against the league's top insiders. He is not bad in single defense, but struggles in assist defense and pick-and-roll defense. The only person who can be called Gasol's nemesis is Nowitzki, who often defeats him with his skills.

Horford has never been a super scorer. He is at a disadvantage in height and wingspan. If he can't get rid of him, he can't squeeze out Gasol.

With 24 seconds almost gone, Teague faced Draymond and made a strong attack. His pull-up jump shot missed due to interference, and Gasol grabbed the rebound.

The Clippers' offense was still a simple one. Draymond pulled out a three-point line screen, and Curry attracted Millsap to switch defenses. The ball was distributed 70 degrees to the right. This time Horford didn't defend outside enough.

The same movement as before, turned into Gasol covering Danny Green. Danny Green's shooting percentage in the regular season this year was average, and in the first round of the playoffs he only shot 30% from three-point range, but he began to regain his touch after that.

Danny caught the ball and shot with perfect rhythm. Korver bypassed the screen and missed the block, and the ball went hollow into the net. 5 to 0.

The Hawks' offense once again fell into the Clippers' defensive hell. The only person with an advantage was Korver, but he has never practiced the ball-handling offense well. He caught the ball and faced Curry and shot a three-pointer. It missed due to interference and Gasol grabbed the rebound.

The Hawks rely on defense to win, limiting opponents to 97.1 points per game, ranking first in the league. Defense also relies on man-to-man marking. The Clippers failed to get an open shot on two screens. Gasol misplaced Korver and missed his jump shot.

Millsap took the backboard and passed the ball to start a counterattack. Wiggins received the ball and singled out Middleton, but failed to make a layup. Draymond grabbed a backcourt rebound and slowed down the pace.

In this series, Yang Rui demanded that positional battles be the main focus. The players patiently looked for opportunities. With almost 24 seconds left, Curry singled out Teague and missed a three-pointer.

The position battle will be boring, but Yang Rui's arrangement captures the Eagle's Achilles' heel. After three and a half minutes of play, the Eagles made a mid-range shot by Teague. Although the Clippers had a mediocre shooting percentage, they led 9-2.

Five and a half minutes later, the Clippers led 14-5 and were firmly in control of the situation. Budenholzer requested a timeout first.

The Hawks' offense is weak and must be adjusted, but the person with the strongest offensive power is already on the court. Millsap cannot play one-on-one, and Teague has difficulty breaking out after the pick-and-roll, all because of Draymond.

Commentators from all media lamented that Draymond deserved the Best Defensive Player Award.

In order to strengthen the offense, Budenholzer replaced Schroeder, who has strong breakthroughs. There was another problem on the defensive end. It was too easy for Curry to beat Schroeder, who was 185cm tall and weighed 78kg. After the pick-and-roll, Schroeder couldn't stop him. An empty cut.

In the second half, the Clippers replaced Middleton and Gasol, replaced Gay and Nene, added two more offensive points with the ball, and continued to grind against the Hawks.

31 to 18 in the first quarter,

The Clippers quietly led by 13 points.

ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy commented: "The strength gap between the two teams is obvious. The Clippers stars performed very well, but the Hawks lack a sure super scorer. This is how the Spurs were eliminated by the Clippers last season."

Mike Breen said: "The Hawks are building the team according to the Spurs' ideas. Budenholzer's coaching is successful, but it is very difficult for him to defeat Jerry Young with Popovich's method."

The Eagles' weakness is that they don't have big-name stars. Their players have average personal abilities and cannot attract double-teams. They rely on overall cooperation to win.

The Clippers have a clear core on the court. Curry can attract double teams, and the three-man defense is outstanding. As long as the pick-and-roll is guarded, the Hawks can only rely on singles to score, exposing their shortcomings.

The lineup was rotated in the second quarter, and the Clippers' advantage became more obvious, with LaVine, Middleton, Gay, Antetokounmpo, and Nene.

In the finals, Yang Rui did not plan to train and had no reservations. Even a physically strong insider like Whiteside sat on the bench and let the experienced Nene lead the team. The veteran is not prone to making mistakes and has excellent footwork in the low post.

Three top swingmen ensure wing defense. Dunk king LaVine can defend point guards even with his physical talent. Schroeder is not good at mid-range and long-range shots. All LaVine has to do is keep up with the speed and not be passed by in one step.

The Hawks' Schroeder, Sefolosha, Carroll, Millsap, and Perot-Antic are considered to be the best rotations in the Eastern Conference, but they are no better than the Clippers. The two guards have no three-pointers, and the team Also lacks low post offense.

Antic, who entered the NBA out of the draft, is 211cm tall and weighs 118kg. He is very strong, has tattoos on both arms, and a big beard. His appearance can be described as "you will be dead if you look at me".

However, this guy has a tough image and looks like a gangster thug. He especially likes to shoot outside. He is slow on air cuts, rarely plays in the low post, and his three-point shooting is not accurate.

The contrast is so great, it's as if Sun Honglei went on the Spring Festival Gala stage, dressed like Oriental Invincible, and sang: "Love and hate are in a moment, raise a glass to the moon and feel like the sky, love and hate are boundless, ask you When will you fall in love..."

After playing for 5 minutes, Antic made 0 of 2 shots and never entered the penalty area. Budenholzer had no choice but to replace him.

He didn't shoot at Antic from the sidelines, not because of good temper, but because the law didn't allow it.

The Clippers' four perimeter players are all very fast. They can not only retreat to defend the penalty area, but also interfere with shooting. The point difference continues to widen.

In the second half, the Eagles accelerated their pace and tried to improve their shooting percentage through chaos. Yang Rui sent out five dead players, with Draymond as a guest center, Antetokounmpo as a forward, and Curry, Gay, and Danny Green on the outside.

This lineup is good at defending against fast breaks. On the offensive end, it can rely on the individual abilities of the stars to counterattack, and it can also fall into position. Giannis Antetokounmpo's talent advantage is fully utilized, and anyone he hits on the counterattack looks like he is out of position.

62 to 37, the Clippers defended the Hawks with less than 20 points in a single quarter, and the outcome was no longer in suspense.

In the second half, the Clippers continued to control the rhythm. Gasol was able to grind out the position when he came on the court, taking advantage of his characteristics as a pivot. He could cut through the screen to hit hard, or he could use his height advantage to shoot against defenders.

Another weakness of the Hawks is that they are too short inside. Antic has the height to prevent pick-and-rolls. Horford moves fast enough and is only 208cm tall. Once the Hawks center is withdrawn from the penalty area, the big man cuts through. Millsap's height of 201cm is very high. Difficulty guarding the restricted area.

Millsap can fight against the strong inside line, but Gasol has a soft touch and excellent shooting, so he can't block shots.

After three quarters, the game entered garbage time.
