Chapter 432 The second battle that cannot be lost

This game is very important, and there is no room for loss. If this game is very important, if the Clippers continue to lose this game, then they ran to the Devil's home court of the Grizzlies with a score of 0:2 at home. I believe It is difficult for them to win and retreat.

So the Clippers attach great importance to it. Similarly, the Clippers fans also attach great importance to it. They need to win this game, at least with a 1:1 score to go to the away game to have a little chance.

They let go of their arrogance from the beginning because they swept the Rockets in 4 games. In the Staples Center, more and more Clippers fans came here. They attach great importance to it. Compared with the last game, the Clippers came to the scene The fans are even more crazy than the last game.

At the same time, TNT also made a very critical decision. They gave up the second game between the Spurs and the Thunder. In the first game, the Thunder beat the Spurs at home.They would have continued to watch Game [-] of this series in Game [-].

But the previous upset made Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal come to Los Angeles non-stop. They began to prepare for the commentary of this game, but they were completely indifferent to the Clippers' defeat in the first game. think.

"It shouldn't be! This defeat should not have happened to the Clippers. They actually defended An and the Clippers' three-pointer. Are the Grizzlies really that strong?"

Shaquille O'Neal is very depressed about the Clippers. Every time he is not optimistic about them, their offense and defense are simply fierce. It feels like they can play basketball in the sky.

However, this time, he just bragged about a wave of Clippers with Charles Barkley, an old Clippers fan, at the round table meeting. They directly swept the Rockets and gave them two infinite confidence. I was upset, isn't this embarrassing me, big shark?

Charles Barkley was not so excited: "This defeat is inevitable. Take a look at Anthony's offense and defense inside. The inside line who is so afraid of physical confrontation cannot survive in the league of our era. The more cowardly you are, the more they will bully you."

Obviously, as a one-year "old fan" of the Clippers, Charles Barkley was very dissatisfied with Anthony Davis' performance in the first game, and this second game that cannot be lost, he really hopes This young man can do better.

However, the Clippers made a huge adjustment in the second game. Eric Bledsoe entered the bench again. It is true that his driving ability is very good, but his defense has also become a big problem. , is also a point guard in his early 180cm, and there is a huge gap between him and Chris Paul in defensive ability.

Ray Allen and Jason Richardson formed a new guard combination to deal with the Grizzlies' guard line. The two of them may not have very good breakthrough ability because of their age. Even if they have more pick-and-rolls, they will choose Finish the offense with a shot.

But that's enough, their shooting ability is enough to help the Clippers open up a huge space, Anson directly kills the inside line under the cover of Anthony Davis, and a rhythm change at the top of the three-point arc instantly throws away Mark Gasol is very comfortable in a large position, but Mike Conley, who is watching Ray Allen, is very entangled in his heart. Should he go up to defend now or not?

Ray Allen's name is definitely famous for juniors like Mike Conley. When thinking of three-pointers, the first names that come to mind are Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, and Reggie Miller has long been Retired, although Ray Allen is here, but his shooting ability will not degrade too quickly because of his age.He still didn't go up in the end, and Anson easily rushed inside to face Zach Randolph and hit a fadeaway shot.

The offense of the Grizzlies, this time the Clippers are not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Anson came to defend Mike Conley. From his perspective, he found that he wanted to pass the ball to the inside. difficult!

The height and wingspan he is proud of among point guards are completely useless in front of An Sheng, and what is even more f*cking frustrating is that An Sheng runs faster than him.After the pick-and-roll, there was no defense change at all, and An Sheng would fill in the position in an instant.

He kept dribbling to find opportunities, and the mentality of not admitting defeat in the face of the best defensive player suddenly surged up, but he didn't notice the time, he was too sticky to the ball, and he didn't realize the time until his teammates reminded him It's only been 3 seconds, and he directly missed the shot against An Sheng. What's even more embarrassing is that this is still an air ball!

There were happy laughter and boos throughout the Staples Center. This was a 24-second violation, and the entire Grizzlies' first starting point was completely locked, even ignorant!The Grizzlies gave Anson an embarrassing best defensive player Mileage in the last game. This time, Anson will have to pay it back.

"Brad is very smart. He adjusts too quickly. If he uses Ray to play point guard, his height can switch to any 1 and 2 positions, and Jason can also be used as 2 and 3 positions. Swinging is all about letting An Lai organize with the ball, and An Lai's speed will not be a disadvantage to the No. [-] position, so the Clippers' perimeter defense is much stronger than the previous game!"

"Hey! It's not that Brad is smart, but the Clippers have too many swing positions. The reason why combo guards and forward guard swingmen are becoming more and more popular in this league is very obvious, that is, they can defend more positions. , and An is even more of a bug, except for the 5th position, I have never seen a position where he has not played, and every position can be played very well!"

The Clippers' offense is still very simple, with pick-and-rolls at the top of the arc, two three-point shooters in the bottom corners, Jordan's pick-up inside, and Anthony Davis' pick-and-roll pick-and-roll at a 45-degree angle outside. Drive the whole team.

Many people may be very familiar with this tactic. Yes, this is the tactic that LeBron James often used in the Cavaliers. There is almost no difference. On the offensive end, Anson is used as LeBron James in those two years .

This will be very tiring, and it won't last long. Everyone is wondering why Brad Stevens, who insists on playing as a team, made such a choice. After all, during the regular season, Anson practiced off the ball for a long time. Why not fight like that?

It's just that soon, Ray Allen's corner three-pointer made them forget about it. Anson's ball-handling style is too good!It smells so good!
