Chapter 231 China Derby
Rick Carlisle's reaction was not as slow as Del Negro's. Anson's three-pointer in this quarter narrowed the point difference to one point. On the surface, the Mavericks still lead, but as long as the fans watching You will understand that it is the Mavericks who are at a disadvantage in this game.
Anson's state is bursting, and now he has scored 13 points, 3 assists and 1 steal. As for the Clippers, a top team, you can expect one of him to be out of order on a certain night, and maybe the whole team will be in a few minutes. The internal state is not good, but you can't expect the entire Clippers to be bad all night, so you might as well buy a lottery ticket and pray that you will win 500 million.
So what Rick Carlisle has to do now is to limit the super god An Sheng, and open up the point difference when the other major scorers of the Clippers have not recovered, so that there is enough space to deal with the next counterattack.
"Yi! He is your teammate of the national team. You should know him better than those of us who only meet him four times a season in the regular season!" Rick Carlisle suddenly turned around. Find out that there should be the teammate of the most annoying guy in your team.
Yi Jianlian, who was sitting on the bench, was a little excited when he was suddenly called by Rick Carlisle. Could it be that he was going to play, but the content of this sentence made him a little sad, and what was even more embarrassing was that he didn't know how to answer at all.
It is true that An Sheng is his teammate in the national team. An Sheng has never been selected for the Chinese national team. If he tells this news to Rick Carlisle in front of him, the old man will definitely abandon his usual attitude in front of him. Dasheng called himself a lunatic for his elegant image, because I am afraid that even the US team would not be able to make such a move, nor would it be such a luxury.
When it comes to playing together, during the nearly one month of off-season training, he did know a lot about An Sheng, crazily stealing an assist, but this is not the same him at all, in that place, the ghost knows that he is with him That group of national team teammates only showed how much strength, not to mention that An Sheng's progress this season is obvious to all, otherwise the most improved player would not have fallen into his hands.
"Boss, I probably don't know more than you." Yi Jianlian responded awkwardly.
"Get ready to play!" This sentence made Yi Jianlian excited for a moment. It was the first time for him to play at such an early time in this round of playoffs. For him, the previous two games It's garbage time when he's on the court.
"Pay attention to assisting defense after playing. You will definitely know him more. There are not many people brought here from your country, and you will definitely get to know each other better."
Yi Jianlian is a space-type four with good movement speed and jumping, but he has his own problems, the three-point shooting is not accurate, and he prefers large two-pointers, and large two-pointers are almost an old style in the NBA. Scoring means to be eliminated.
He is not tough either. As a space-type insider, he rarely has extremely tough scoring methods, and physical confrontation has always been his problem.
After replacing Brandon Haywood, he became the actual center of the Mavericks. Mavericks fans still burst into applause for Yi Jianlian's appearance.
On the other side of the ocean, Chinese studios are extremely excited about the first Chinese derby in the NBA playoffs.
"Two Chinese players appeared in the playoffs at the same time. This is the first time in the history of Chinese basketball." Su Quan said a little excitedly, "Needless to say more about An Sheng's performance, what people look forward to now is Yi Jianlian's performance." , he must try his best to show himself in this limited time to gain Carlisle's trust."
When Su Quan said this, he had no idea what the task Rick Carlisle entrusted to Yi Jianlian was.
Assisting in defending Ansheng is a problem for insiders all over the world. Compared with the whole world knowing that LeBron James is going to break through, Kevin Durant wants to shoot but can’t stop it. The amount of scoring in the position is very average. At the basket, mid-range shots, and three-pointers, Anson has enough shots in each area.
Kenyon Martin's off-ball pick-and-roll allowed Anson to catch the ball and get rid of Sean Marion's defense. After returning from the timeout, he stuck to Anson like a dog skin plaster and did not give any chance.
This off-ball pick-and-roll is very beautiful, but Yi Jianlian stepped forward and switched defenses very quickly. The suppression of his height prevented An Sheng from finding any chance to shoot a long-range three-pointer the moment he caught the ball.
An Sheng made a breakthrough with the ball without a chance at the first time, and his speed was very fast. However, Yi Jianlian was already on guard, leaning against An Sheng to prevent him from speeding up, and at the same time retreated in an orderly manner.
There was no problem with this defense, but it was still squeezed away by An Sheng in the process of breaking through, and then completed a small throw to overtake the score.
Although Yi Jianlian failed to defend this goal, it has to be said that compared to Brandon Heywood's disastrous speed and palpitating defensive steps, Yi Jianlian is undoubtedly outstanding.
It just so happens that the Clippers are good at everything on the offensive end, but they lack a scoring point that can be played one-on-one in the interior. Instead, he would be bullied to death one-on-one by the two Clippers' outside superstars when they switched defenses.
Soon, Yi Jianlian made a good interference on the defensive end. Eric Bledsoe took advantage of the Mavericks' attention to focus on An Sheng and made a perfect air cut. The speed was very fast, and An Sheng It should have been a very good cooperation, but Yi Jianlian's quick defense caused Eric Bledsoe's shot to be touched and lost its original direction a little bit.
"Yi!" Yi Jianlian's name resounded in the American Airlines Center. The Mavericks' first block in this game came from a water dispenser player. It was hard for the Mavericks not to give him warm applause.
Perhaps in many areas of hard power, such as protecting rebounds, such as dealing with heavy insiders, such as singles inside, these are Brandon Haywood's strengths, but the problem lies in facing this Clippers. These skills seem to be useless. Against the Clippers, Yi Jianlian is better than him.
Even ordinary fans can see things, Rick Carlisle can naturally understand that this Mavericks has an extra factor of instability, which is not good news for Clippers fans.
