The Clippers still want to play fast from the beginning. How can I put it, this team has always had such firepower and is not bad. With Paul controlling the court, there will not be many mistakes. But as mentioned before, Rondo
The task of this game is to strangle Paul. Because as long as Paul is consumed in large quantities, it will be difficult for the rest of the Clippers to perform well. They are all too accustomed to relying too much on this little point guard. Including Griffin
+ DeAndre Jordan has the best team and the best defensive team. Logically speaking, he is not the most ordinary All-Star. However, they are all relatively functional All-Star players. DeAndre Jordan has no one to feed his offense.
He has almost no lethality. If someone feeds him, it is only at a blue-collar level. His strength is the defensive end. Griffin seems to be able to do everything, face the basket, post up, handle the ball, turn around, and play hard.
, but it's just "a bit dabbled". At critical times, he is basically invisible and cannot stand out.
Therefore, when mentioning the strongest power forwards in the league, his name is always ignored, intentionally or unintentionally.
Apart from dunks and good statistics, he seems to have no sense of existence.
Therefore, losing Rondo and losing Paul have completely different meanings for both parties.
Paul didn't feel very comfortable playing at the beginning. Rondo is also a short guard. In addition, he is fast and strong in lateral movement, and his wingspan is a nightmare for all No. 1 positions. Paul also only has strength, and is physically stronger than Rondo.
Obvious advantage. In addition, Rondo is also an extremely good top point guard, so Paul is a little uncomfortable with defending with all his strength. It has been a long time since he has seen such a defensive and active defense of Rajon Rondo. It seems that he is gone.
After joining the Lakers, he really felt like he was back at his peak.
Paul didn't choose to entangle too much. He gave the ball to Griffin to handle as soon as the half was over. Griffin still had some advantages over Randall. Although Randall was in good physical condition and powerful,
It's still too young. This is only the second year, and he spent most of last year in a hospital bed, so the former is very serious. This is also a problem with Randall now. Either he is not very active in defense, or he is not very active in defense.
Isn't it just that I'm too positive? I can't control this degree well.
After Griffin fought several times, Larry Brown quickly changed players and used Yi Jianlian to deal with it. Yi Jianlian is tall and has long arms. Compared with Griffin, he has a hardware advantage, so his physical fitness is naturally different from his opponent.
But as long as his defense is not easily deceived, it will be fine. Because the Lakers' inside line and No. 29 protect the basket, and Griffin hits it, the effect is not necessarily good. The main thing is to prevent some of his attacks before entering the paint area.
Just fine.
Yi Jianlian belongs to the kind of player whose creative ability is not outstanding in the NBA, but he listens to the instructions of the head coach, which sometimes is too rigid, but sometimes it can also have good results. Griffin replaced Yi Jianlian
After coming up, both shots missed. You can say that Yi Jianlian guarded him. After all, the two of them are facing each other now. You can also say that Griffin screwed himself up. He wanted to
Isn't it funny to use the same tactics against Randall to deal with Yi Jianlian?
Since Yi Jianlian partnered with Tang Qian in the post, he has developed the habit of not taking off easily. What he has to do is delay and block. When the opponent breaks through, just try to block it as much as possible. Don't always think about blocking shots. He
His physical fitness is naturally good. He is the best in history among yellow men and can be ranked near the middle or upper level in the NBA. The weak body problem that he suffered from before is gone now, so he can defend honestly and the effect is still there. In the past, Yi Keyian
Lian still wants to prove and express herself too much, which is counterproductive on the defensive end.
Griffin killed one and went in. Yi Jianlian tried his best to block it. It was impossible to block it, but he just had to do everything he could. Sure enough, because of his delay, Griffin's shot time was slowed down and the attack speed was weakened.
Griffin's explosive power while moving gave the Lakers No. 29 on the other side of the basket enough reaction time. So when Griffin came in and took a shot, a big block hit his head.
Griffin can't do this well, and Paul can only do it all over again, because the rest of the people still rely too much on his passing to get opportunities. His ability to create scoring opportunities with the ball is not very good. Paul
Wanting to speed up the rhythm and speed on the court, Rondo refused to let him do it easily. The two often had fierce entanglements in the top arc, which was very enjoyable to watch.
Paul also remembered that the guy in front of him was once a first-defense player in the league, more than once. It was not that easy for him to break through such a player easily. Those long arms that were a bit abnormally long were always like
You Ruowu gives people a huge psychological pressure. Under this situation, the Clippers' offensive rhythm did not pick up as expected, but fell into a slowdown.
The Lakers used this period to slowly widen the score difference. Griffin's singles were like this. Sometimes they were easy to use, but sometimes they seemed like they couldn't play at all. The efficiency was extremely poor. In Griffin's singles,
When the other side couldn't open, Paul could only forcefully collide with Rondo to create a scoring opportunity for the Clippers. Paul made an aggressive breakthrough, and then dribbled continuously to find a loophole in the rhythm. Look,
After targeting one, he moved close to his body. Rondo defended well, but his opponent was Paul. It was unrealistic to completely defend him. Paul used his strong personal ability to make a direct pass from the strong and weak sides. This
Passing the ball is very difficult. Under such a tight one-on-one defense, it is difficult for ordinary point guards to dribble, let alone look at all directions to find opportunities to pass such a difficult pass. The basketball is cut horizontally.
The Lakers' defense came into the hands of J.J. Redick at a 45-degree angle on the left. Redick made a three-pointer and hit it.
He has always been very accurate in three-pointers. He is a historical sharpshooter in the NCAA and cannot block shots. He did not miss such opportunities.
But it is impossible for Paul to fight like this for a long time, because it consumes a lot of money. Just dealing with Rondo's constant entanglement is more difficult, and the pressure is much higher than usual. Now he has to work so hard to organize, and his state will not be long before
and physical fitness will drop significantly. But don’t forget, Chris Paul has never been a physical fitness freak. His physical fitness is good, but now he is over 30 years old, and his average appearance per game this season has dropped to 32 minutes. This is evidence
.This is the lowest value since he joined the NBA. As for Rondo, although the Lakers do not have another reliable substitute for the No. 1 position except him, his task tonight is obviously easier than Paul.
Just focus on defense. If you can organize the offense, organize it. It doesn't matter if you can't. The Lakers are a slow-paced team, so just play slowly.
Even if there are a few more mistakes, it won't matter. If the consumption continues like this, Paul will definitely get tired first.
The Lakers haven't shown off their power inside yet. The fight has reached a stalemate, and both sides have scored several goals. At this time, someone needs to come out to break this sticky point. The Lakers' choice is very simple.
Inside, Tang Qian plays with the ball, and Jordan on the opposite side comes to defend. Jordan is quite confident in his defense. But, Tang Qian this season is not like last season. He used his playoff skills
That style was no longer enough to withstand the latter. After a confrontation, Tang Qian forcefully cut in to occupy the space, pressing down on DeAndre Jordan. DeAndre Jordan struggled to block the shot, and the two collided with each other. He had the upper hand in the physical confrontation.
, could only watch the Lakers score this goal on the 29th. At the same time, he also paid a personal foul.
"I said, do you still think you can defend me with the same old tactics from last season?" Tang Qian said before walking to the free throw line: "I'm sorry, you thought too much." On the free throw line, Tang Qian also made an extra free throw. In this game
They scored a 3-pointer in the first attack. It was a good start. The Clippers were passive due to the team's poor organization of offense during the main period of the first quarter. With a few minutes left in the first quarter, the Clippers began to enter the first quarter of the game.
During one substitution time, Clippers head coach Doc Rivers actually wanted to use his substitutes to launch a high-speed defensive counterattack. As a result, after a large number of quick plays, he made a lot of mistakes. Come on, there is nothing good on their bench.
The strongest link between the organization and the organization is only one, Rivers Jr. and Jeff Green. Both of them average 1+ assists per game and can only serve as the end point. Pierce, who was originally supposed to join the Clippers, has
The Lakers still have a lot of end points on their bench, and the scoring is not bad. But if they want to push so fast, it is a bit taken for granted. The Lakers are not a vegetarian here. Getting rid of the No. 1 position is a bit
Weak, the rest of the team defended hard, and with the addition of Larry Brown's system training, they played steadily, and by the end of the first quarter, Rivers' idea of the Clippers was completely in vain.
