Chapter 146: The Door

Today, the Clippers' defense was the same as last time against the Raptors. One person was separated from the five, that is, Ji Guoqiu was specially used to defend Duncan, keeping close to Shifo and consuming his physical strength. The other four people formed an area defensive formation and moved in the direction of the basketball.

The difference is that their defense will shrink slightly today, which is the right medicine. France Parker's breakthrough is excellent in the league, but his long-distance projection ability is very unreliable. You can give him a three-pointer appropriately to see his feel before deciding whether he is going to defend himself?

Bai Parker has won two championships and entered the finals three times. He has experienced and has never seen any defense before. He soon discovered that the Clippers' defense is similar to the Celtics.

To be precise, there are many ways to crack the Clippers' joint defense, to be precise, it is a hybrid defense.

If there is a point guard in the team who is all-around shooting, breakthrough and passing like Nash, everything will become handy, and it will be no problem to break through the Clippers' defense at this time.

However, it is even more sharp to deal with Parker's breakthrough, but the Clippers' defense is still very threatening with average projection point guards.

Tony Parker tried to play pick-and-roll with Duncan for the first time, but was double-teamed by three Clippers at the free throw line.

Although Duncan missed it, Panda Brother was close to Shifo and had no chance to pass the ball.

The Clippers are very determined in double-teaming. Parker has good passing ability, but at this moment, only one passing route was found, that is, the Argentine Oberto. The other passing routes were blocked, and once the passing ball was passed, it was easy to be cut off.

Oberto received a pass from the middle distance of the right wing. The Argentine struggled in Europe for nearly ten years. The mid-range shot of the first hand was very stable, and he immediately took the ball and easily scored two points.

"No. Their center shots are accurate!" Old Dunleavy felt that something was wrong. Oberto was a point they deliberately released when they double-teamed Parker. If they wanted to take into account all passing routes, it was impossible to do it. There were gains and losses. This was a multiple-choice question. Strengthening the defense against someone would inevitably miss another person.

"Let's let Bowen go!"

Old Dunleavy has not made a decision yet, and Ji Guoqiu has already acted as an on-court coach on the court. If Brother Fox is the commander on the court, then Brother Panda is the on-court coach. The two have clear division of labor and each performs their own duties!

The Clippers players have a clear goal. No doubts, execute immediately.

The next time they defended, they indeed let Bowen go, so the latter hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner!

Ji Guochou looked ugly. Parker had a good passing ability and was good at protecting the ball. He could find the pass route in double teams and pass the basketball smoothly. The receiver could also convert Parker's pass into a goal, which was so painful!

"Boss, you seem to have been slapped in the face. Are you still going to put Bowen on now?"

"Damn it, I missed it. Bowen's defensive ability has declined this season. However, his three-point shooting percentage is still more than 40%, so he can't easily shoot for him."

"I heard what you mean. I won't want to replace someone again, right?"

Ji Guochou didn't care about being slapped in the face, but he really changed his target again. He said to his teammates when serving: "We are not careful of his passing route, everyone can fill in the position faster."

Old Dunleavy was happy when he saw Brother Panda discussing with his teammates off the court, and wanted to see how the players adapted to the situation and solved the problem by themselves?

In each game, the number of teams' timeouts is limited, so players often have to find ways to solve some problems on the court. It is impossible to make a mistake and ask for a coach to find a timeout. Therefore, having an on-court coach like James will solve a big problem. The biggest advantage is that the chance of the team's collapse is greatly reduced.

In the next game, the Clippers did not deliberately let anyone defend themselves. As a result, there were too many shots, which made Tony Parker hesitate when passing the ball. Because he felt that there was a chance to pass to anyone, but it seemed that there was a risk of stealing it to anyone.

To be honest, under the Clippers' area double-team, the French point guard can still play a sprint tactic and split the basketball before getting caught in double-team. This is already very difficult in itself.

In the first quarter, the score was 12:10, the Clippers led by two points, and **Vic called a timeout.

The Spurs' offensive success rate is getting lower and lower under the Clippers' joint defense. Sometimes the Clippers' joint defense will reveal flaws to make the Spurs easier to score, but sometimes they will also prevent the Spurs from making mistakes in passing and intercepting the ball to hit a counterattack.

Halfway through the first quarter, Duncan only scored 2 points. Ji Guoqiu jumped out of the team's joint defense and followed the stone Buddha, which made Duncan less chance of receiving the ball.

Although Ji Guoqiu did not play in joint defense with his teammates, as soon as Duncan received the ball, the Clippers' formation would immediately move to the low post, instantly absorbing Ji Guoqiu, a person who was free from the defensive system, into a complete body, and work together to double-team Duncan.

The Clippers' mixed defense is not without loopholes. They will also miss people. They will also make mistakes when changing defense and assisting defense, so the Spurs get an open shot. However, this style of play does make the Spurs far more uncomfortable than in the previous game and more physically exhausting.

**Vic now has to solve two problems, offense and defense.

The Clippers' defensive end is like a pocket, moving back and forth to cover their own players. This kind of defensive mobility is very strong, and the defensive formation will go wherever the ball goes, like a stool maggot. In addition to finding a way to crack the Clippers' defense, how to defend the opponent's attack is not an easy task.

The Clippers' double pick-and-roll is also easy to lose sight of one thing. The Spurs' experienced defensive system can indeed put certain restrictions on the Clippers, but they cannot completely block the opponent. After three minutes of the game, the Clippers slowly found the feel, especially Ji Guomo from the outside, began to find his state, and the Spurs' defense line was immediately stretched.

After the timeout, Dunleavy praised the Fox brother. If the team wants to win today, how much restrictions can Ji Guoqiu have on Duncan? This is one of the key points; the other key points are how much harm can Ji Guomomoke cause to the Spurs?

The Spurs' defensive system has always been the best system to limit the outside superstars. However, if you ask Spurs fans who are most afraid of? All Spurs fans will say, Kobe, Nowitzki!

In this world, there is no defensive system or offensive system without weaknesses. No matter how good the system is, it must have its own weaknesses.

The Clippers' defensive system is most afraid of three-pointer shooter and ankle terminator. These two stars can end the battle with long-range three-pointers and lightning breakthroughs before the Clippers' defensive system is launched.

The Spurs are most afraid of high-level shooting. Kobe and Nowitzki have one thing in common. The mid-range shooting at the position above the free throw line and within the three-point line has a very high shooting percentage. The high-level shooting here refers to two-pointers in the range of 18 feet to 22 feet. This is the blind spot of the Spurs' defensive system, or a cover-up, which is where they cannot practice kung fu.

Why is LeBron James particularly prone to kneeling when encountering the Spurs?

It is precisely because the young emperor is not accurate in shooting from a long distance that Kobe and Nowitzki are just good at shooting in this position. Ji Guomeng is also good at shooting in this area. He and Nowitzki have a similar range, with a range of 0-24 feet without blind spots, and are the nemesis of the Spurs' defensive system.

"Strengthen personal breakthrough after breakthrough!"

"Add long-distance shots after running without the ball."

This is an adjustment made by the two coaches. Both Vicci and Dunleavy can see the opponent's weakness in defense, but whether they can be targeted successfully depends on the skills of their players.

This timeout was called by **Vic. After the game started again, Duncan sent the ball in the frontcourt, and Bai Parker used his teammates to cover it and went around to catch the ball.

After the Spurs' timeout, the personnel were adjusted. Bruce Bowen replaced Ginobili from the field, Oberto replaced Matt from the field. Bonner, and **Vic's intention was obvious, to strengthen the three-point shooting ability and breakthrough ability.

After Duncan served the ball, he landed at the free throw line without the cover. Parker dribbled the ball with Duncan's cover and quickly passed the ball to Ginobili before falling into double-teaming.

Argentine Demon Sword immediately made a three-pointer when he received the ball. The Clippers' defense was shifting, and the gap outside the three-point line was leaked. Ginobili took the knife and fell, and the three-pointer angrily hit the iron!

"Be careful to cut off the French bald's passing route, and don't let them pass the ball to the outside line easily, especially the Argentine bald." Ji Guomori grabbed the rebound and gave orders loudly to his teammates. He is the team's commander on the court and has the right to say that.

Duncan smiled when he heard this and touched his hair. We were proud of having hair~!

Parker was angry when he heard this. What a look? I'm shaved, not that I have no hair~!

Upon hearing this, Ginobili touched his head with a few hairs and refused to admit that he was bald. This dead fox was talking lies with his eyes open. The small poke in the middle was obviously not falling out yet. I want to sue you for slander~!

The Spurs' fast defense and attack are not good, but Kassel, who had just started playing, really couldn't run fast, which made the Clippers' fast attack also unable to fight. Their fast attack speed after grabbing the rebound this time is at best an ordinary offense for the Suns.

The two teams eventually fell into the position, and they followed the routine according to the tricks, and no one was allowed to cheat.

The Clippers' double pick-and-roll are all on the line, which means the left and right wings, which is another change.

The two groups of Clippers did not have the ball cover at the same time, dismantling the middle distance of the left wing, the three-point line on the right wing, and both bottom corners became threats. The Clippers' offense also completed very smoothly. Although the two brothers were defended, Artest, who was placed in the bottom corner, had an open chance.

Kassel passed the ball in time, and the beast caught the ball and hit the bottom corner three-pointer!

The Clippers fans in the Staples are cheering loudly. The team's tactical execution ability does not look inferior to the Spurs, this is the Spurs... the champion team last season!

In the first quarter, the Clippers' outside feel became more and more outstanding, but the Spurs' outside performance was not very good.
Chapter completed!
