NBA: No. 1 Forward Chapter 533: Unlimited fire, full attack!
"No, ckle, your task in the second quarter is not to defend, but to attack. I want you to vent all your firepower!"
"You don't need to be distracted on the defensive end, there is only one thing you have to do today - attack!
"
D'Antoni's words made Lian Dao a little stunned, but this is also in line with D'Antoni's coaching characteristics.
It doesn't matter if the defense is close, but the offense must be carried out to the end.
However, Lian Dao guessed wrong this time. D'Antoni not only wanted to attack, but he also did not give up on defense this time.
"As for Anthony, Tony, leave him to you. You have to defend him and provide confrontation. I don't believe he can always maintain such a high offensive efficiency!"
In this way, the No. 3 matchup that all fans have longed for only lasted one quarter.
Then... he declared bankruptcy under D'Antoni's tactical arrangements.
Fans are looking forward to Lian Dao v Anthony. All fans want to watch the confrontation between these two super scorers. They are looking forward to a passionate point battle.
But D'Antoni doesn't want to see that, he just wants to win the game.
The most efficient way to win the game is to let Lian Dao pour out his firepower without having to worry about defense!
Anyway, Anthony is in great shape today. Even if Lian Dao devotes himself to defense, he may not be able to completely restrict Anthony.
It would be better to hand Anthony over to Tony Allen, thus allowing Lian Dao to unleash his offense.
"Pour out all your firepower, unlimited fire rights, all-out attack?!"
Lian Dao licked his lips excitedly. This was probably the instruction that any star would want to hear.
Moreover, even Lian Dao himself didn't know what it would be like if he completely entered an offensive state.
That's right, until now, Lian Dao has given everyone the impression of integrating offense and defense.
However, achieving the integration of offense and defense requires paying a high price.
Especially the reasonable distribution of physical energy. If too much is invested in the defensive end, the maximum effect will not be achieved on the offensive end, and the same is true in reverse.
No one knows what will happen tonight at Staples Center.
But Lian Dao promised that he would not let Los Angeles be too peaceful tonight.
…
Carmelo Anthony felt that he was in very good shape today, even though he scored 15 points in the first quarter.
But he still feels that this is not his limit, and he should be able to do better.
Another 33 points in a quarter?! That’s not a bad idea.
Even... higher than 33 points, breaking Lian Dao's scoring record, 41 points in a single quarter!
Anthony didn't know what he could do today, he just wanted to score higher than Lian Dao.
On the bench of the Clippers, head coach Vinny Del Negro, known as the Rushuai, did not arrange many tactics.
He just gave a few symbolic words of encouragement to the team members.
Even for the team's poor defense, he did not adjust.
Vinny Del Negro is a very young head coach and his resume is not very impressive.
Coached the Chicago Bulls in the 0810 season. Under the leadership of Del Negro, the Bulls' record in the two seasons was unsatisfactory.
The Bulls led by Negron have achieved at least a 50 winning percentage for two consecutive years, and have entered the NBA playoffs both times.
But for the Bulls' management, what they can't stand is that under the leadership of Vinny Del Negro, the Bulls have not improved in two seasons.
They had 41 wins and 41 losses for two consecutive years, barely making the playoffs, and then being swept out in the first round.
Therefore, in the 2010 offseason, Negro was kicked out by the Bulls.
But then, the Clippers, who had no coach last season, took Negro into their employ.
Do you want to say that there is real stuff in Negros? Yes, but not much!
The team he coached can only be said to be okay, the defense was okay, and the offense was okay, but there were no bright spots.
If there is no bright spot in offense and defense, that means: neither works!
This is why historically, even with Paul and Griffin, the Clippers feel that their performance has been worse year after year.
Negro's tactics for the players on the court in the second quarter were simple.
That is to completely release Anthony and let him control the offense while Chris Paul and Griffin are resting.
…
As the electronic buzzer sounds, the break time ends.
The cheerleading girls exited the stage and the second quarter of the game officially began!
The confrontation between Lian Dao and Anthony in the first quarter had all the fans in the audience saying it was wonderful.
In the second quarter, everyone still expected the two men to continue to compete.
Anthony's "offensive kaleidoscope"-like scoring method made fans call him wonderful; Lian Dao's dunks after the breakthrough and the difficult three-pointer made the adrenaline soar.
However, when the matchup began in the second quarter, the audience was stunned.
Lian Dao did not defend Anthony like he did in the first quarter, but replaced him with Tony Allen.
"D'Antoni adjusted the lineup on the field. Tony Allen replaced Danny Green and switched to defend Anthony."
"It seems that D'Antoni deliberately kept ckle and Anthony away. This move undoubtedly allowed ckle to concentrate on the offense."
"The next game will be interesting. ckle, who has completely released his offensive firepower, will definitely bring a wonderful scoring feast to the Staples Center tonight!"
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers took the lead.
Although Lian Dao did not face off against Anthony, Tony Allen's defense would never make Anthony feel comfortable.

Facing Lian Dao's defense in the first quarter, Anthony did not have an easy time. There were several goals, and Lian Dao's defense made Anthony break out in a cold sweat.
However, in the first quarter, his touch and luck were really good. He made some gambling shots.
In the first quarter, he scored 15 points against Lian Dao. In the second quarter against Tony Allen, Anthony became even more confident.
He doesn't think Tony Allen's defense is better than Lian Dao's.
However, as soon as they played against each other, Anthony felt the pressure.
Tony Allen's body is very strong and he is not afraid of confrontation at all. Especially Tony Allen does not care about his physical fitness and devotes himself to defense.
After Anthony's two probing attacks were fruitless, the key was that he was almost intercepted by Tony Allen in the probing attack just now.
This time, he re-adjusted his offensive status. This time Anthony's dribbling became much more cautious, and he was constantly looking for Tony Allen's defensive loopholes.
Whenever he gets a chance, he can quickly get rid of the defense and score.
Little did he know that when he was studying his prey, he had already become the prey in the eyes of others.
When Anthony focused all his attention on himself, Tony Allen suddenly accelerated and sprinted, and took advantage of his arm length to shoot like lightning!
Anthony thought that after Tony Allen failed to steal the ball just now, he would not initiate a second steal in this round.
In addition, he thought he had been careful enough in protecting the ball.
However, in Tony Allen's view, he does not mind making multiple steals as long as the defense is not out of position.
Even if the steal cannot be completed, such a pressing steal will disrupt the defender's offensive rhythm.
This is the defensive wisdom that belongs to Tony Allen.
Moreover, Anthony thought he was excellent at protecting the ball, but it was not perfect enough for Tony Allen.
Tony Allen struck out at the speed of light and cleanly cut the basketball out of Anthony's hand.
As soon as Anthony came into the second quarter, he made a mistake!
Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, pride and prejudice are!
In the matchup just now, Anthony never put the same emphasis on Tony Allen as Lian Dao from beginning to end.
This is also the most important reason for his mistake just now.
After Tony Allen stole the ball, he handed the ball directly to Lian Dao without any hesitation.
Lian Dao advanced quickly with the ball, but the Clippers' defense was not slow in retreating, so Lian Dao could only give up the opportunity to play fast break.
However, outside the three-point line, Anthony's defense once again had problems. Lian Dao broke through without any hesitation and made a mid-range jumper.
For a super scorer, your defense cannot be slack at all.
Otherwise, even if there is any small chance of being caught, it will be absolutely fatal.
Judging from the replays on the spot, Anthony's defense seemed to have no problem.
Lian Dao's breakthrough was a bit sudden, and Anthony's defense was not too slow either.
However, only Anthony could feel the terror of Lian Dao just now. He just felt that his steps were a step slower, and then Lian Dao seized the opportunity and easily passed by.
