Chapter 443 The Dignity of the Best Defensive Player

Passive defense has become very difficult, so there is only active defense. A timeout by Brad Stevens in the middle of the third quarter allowed Anson to think about how he should proceed with the next defense.

Fortunately, while Zach Randolph showed his ferocious attack just now, An Sheng, who is the fourth position of the small ball, also used his speed and range to score two three-pointers, but the point difference has remained at 7 -9 points or so, if the Clippers want to tie the score, they must first defend the inside.

This time Anson chose to defend around the front and prevent Zach Randolph from receiving the ball. If you stand together, you will find that Zach Randolph is at most as tall as Anson.

When An Sheng entered the league, he was 203cm, but in the next two seasons, his skills were growing, and so was his body. An Sheng's height was also slowly growing, so he defended Zach Lando in front of him. Husband, there is absolutely no problem with this.

In order to catch the ball, Zach Randolph could only try to get Anson stuck behind him, but Anson was very flexible, definitely beyond Zach Randolph's imagination, Zach Randolph There is no way to get Anson stuck behind him, and Mike Conley dare not just give the ball to Zach Randolph so directly. Anson's reputation as the steal king is definitely not something they can underestimate.

The Grizzlies chose an outside shot this time, and Tony Allen's three-pointer hit the iron. He has enough deterrence on the defensive end, but the gap between his three-pointer and his defense is too big. The way to give the Clippers enough deterrence.

The missed goal made Lionel Hollins very depressed. Before the start of this game, he kept emphasizing the need to shoot less three-pointers and play more inside. There is no doubt that although it is not top-notch, it can still shoot a good hit rate under the containment effect of the inside line.

But facing the Clippers is different. The Clippers' counterattack speed and the Heat are definitely the top in this league.When this three-point shot comes out of the frame, it is not their ability to block positions that is tested, and this ability happens to be what Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph are best at.

At this time, players need to sharply judge the landing point of the rebound, which is very important in the competition for long rebounds!And Anson, who has turned on the basketball tracking system, is absolutely invincible in this respect. He directly grabbed the first point and picked up the ball as a quick counterattack. He ran almost as fast as Anson. In the Grizzlies, there is no chance, only Mike Conley Relying on the leading opportunity at the beginning, but his height wants to prevent An Sheng who is rushing up, it is tantamount to nonsense.

"Don't make three-pointers, attack the penalty area!" Lionel Hollins further emphasized the choice of offense off the court. He doesn't want to shoot three-pointers. What he needs is for the team to attack inside, even if they don't score, Then it is also difficult for the Clippers to directly push the fast break with a long rebound. In this aspect of the fast break, the Clippers can only say that they are too buggy.

On the other side of the penalty area, Marc Gasol was also stuck in the same way as Jordan. Compared with this pair here, the defense on that side was more intense. This time, Zach Lando Husband finally stuck Anson behind him and beckoned for the ball, but this "success" was just what he thought. The moment the basketball was passed, Anson turned around and accelerated and got stuck in front of Zach Randolph .

This turn is very beautiful, and it is another fast break after a steal. This time it is Jason Richardson who ends up flying high. The body is also reminding all fans not to forget to be a three-point shooter Before, he was the NBA's dunk king.

The two consecutive counterattacks made the Grizzlies a little confused. As we all know, counterattacks are never just about running fast, but also require excellent defensive capabilities. Otherwise, if the opponent scores a goal in the previous round, no matter what No matter what, it is difficult for you to hit a high-quality counterattack.Both the Clippers and the Heat are such teams, and defense drives counterattacks, so the Grizzlies really want to maintain their offensive success rate in this game.

"Pick and roll, pick and roll!" Lionel Hollins was very excited. He had to find a way not to let Anson cause too much interference to their inside line.An Sheng is no longer limited to the old routine of defending one against one. He has completely become a barrier to cut off the defense of the opponent's inside and outside line, which makes it very difficult for the Grizzlies to pass the ball inside.

The Grizzlies' pick-and-roll is solid, and Zach Randolph's cutting position is also very good, but the Clippers have also been prepared for such a pick-and-roll. This is the type of offense they are best at dealing with. Among the offensives, there are definitely not a few such styles of play.Naturally, they also have a deep understanding.

Without words or even eye coaching, Ray Allen and Anson's goals are very consistent in this defense, that is, Mike Conley who is holding the ball, and there is no chance for him to pass it out. In front of him, the 206cm Anson , Ray Allen of 196, both of them have excellent wingspans, and putting them together makes him feel a kind of overwhelming darkness, which can be transmitted from no angle at all.

Time was running out, and he had to pass the ball out immediately. This time, An Sheng, who was still spotted the opportunity, completed a steal.The third consecutive counterattack appeared, and it was still an opportunity for Anson's defense to appear. It can be said that in these few rounds, Zach Randolph, who once gave Tim Duncan a headache, was almost killed by Anson.

"Do you feel it, Zach, this is the dignity of the best defensive player!" Although Charles Barkley didn't hear the conversation between An Sheng and his apprentice at the beginning, what he said this time was that he was in harmony with that A paragraph echoes.

The dignity of the best defensive player, no matter whether you and I can match up, no matter how big the difference between us is, if we want to guard you, we must guard you.The counterattack after several consecutive mistakes has allowed the Clippers to tie the score, and the Grizzlies' advantage in the first half has been lost.

Anthony Davis looked very seriously off the court and did not complain about being pressed on the bench. He, the best defensive player in the NCAA, has much to learn from Anson, the best defensive player in the NBA. .
