Chapter 456 The King of the Small Lineup
Kevin Durant thought that as long as he could avoid Anson's defense, the Thunder's small lineup had surprisingly good results in this game, but the Thunder seemed to have forgotten last year's finals. In the finals, the Heat and When the two Clippers faced off in the finals, they both played at the fourth position.
An Sheng and LeBron James' competition and confrontation at the fourth position became an absolute classic last season. They were known as the two best four positions who can play small balls. In this game, Kevin Durant is very dazzling in the fourth position. Of course, Anson will never admit defeat on this point, and Brad Stevens reacts very quickly to the game.
In the middle half of the second quarter, when the Clippers trailed by 6 points, the Clippers also began to change to a small lineup, and in this lineup, Anson once again became the fourth position and Kevin Duran It's right up there.
The space between the two sides is wide open, with several consecutive transfers of the ball and pick-and-roll changes, they want to find open opportunities, or want to give Kevin Durant a chance to play a wrong position, but the Clippers Rotational defense is excellent.
Kevin Durant did get rid of Anson's entanglement, but the double-teaming of Ray Allen and Jason Richardson, who had been replaced, appeared in front of him again.This double-team is very timely, but their height is obviously insufficient. Kevin Durant's vision is still very sufficient, but it is not as uncomfortable as the double-teaming of Anthony Davis and Anson.
But Anson was not in front of him, which made them feel uncomfortable. Anson stood near the free throw line, but Russell Westbrook at the 45-degree angle on the left wing of the three-point line and Reggie Jackson at the bottom corner of the three-point line all They're all in defensive range or something, passing the ball?to whom?With An Sheng's elusive steal, if the ball was passed casually, it would almost be a steal for An Sheng.
He chose to make a shot, even though he was facing a double team, but he had a height advantage, even if he was double teamed, he still had a chance to make a shot. When he jumped up and pulled out, he realized that the two people in front of him had already passed Both his left and right hands could see that his posture was very awkward.
Turning around, Ansheng also faced the double-teaming of two Thunder players. The Thunder's defense of the same way directly made the defensive and offensive plot just faced repeat in the Thunder's half court again.
Thunder's players are very good. They are also players with long hands and long feet. They also have very good stealing ability.They also know Anson's assist ability, so Kevin Durant stood in Anson's starting position this time. His height, arms, and agility can also have the same effect as Anson's starting point.
It's just that he lacks one thing. The camera system brings Anson the predictability of the ball path and personnel judgment. In the defense just now, the Thunder's Reggie Jackson originally wanted to start from the bottom line. It was an empty cut, but Anson's footsteps in the middle of the route moved towards the baseline with Reggie Jackson's vacancy. Kevin Durant was helpless and didn't dare to pass the ball at all.
At this time, Anson's pass hit the bottom line directly, and Jason Richardson, who cut the bottom line, easily completed this beautiful dunk.
Thunder fans still have a score advantage, but the Clippers' adaptable lineup is very comfortable against the Thunder's lineup. Anson still suppresses Kevin Garnett at position [-], while Jr. On the lineup, it is obvious that the Clippers use less small lineups than this one before, and naturally they are still suppressed when facing each other.
"Aren't you crazy? Playing a small lineup with the Clippers, who else can be so big except the Heat? It's okay to be surprised at the beginning, but now there is a chance? Do you still want to play a small lineup with the Clippers?" Thunder's own home court commentator DJ I couldn't understand it a little bit, and completely forgot that when he just gained this advantage, he supported Thunder to continue fighting in this way.
"Although this is Brad's first year in the league, his on-the-spot response to every game is definitely one of the best. He is completely devoted to this team that beat him last season and has a lot of experience." Do you have any respect for the 73-win team?" His partner was also very dissatisfied, this game is a game that the Thunder must not lose, and in the current form, it is difficult for them to win the game, their score advantage There are only 4 points.
With a three-pointer and a key breakthrough on the offensive end, Chris Paul scored 5 points in a row, helping the Clippers once again complete a beautiful overtake at this time, and now at this time, the Thunder fans are completely sitting down. Can't stop, they were able to win two games in the last game, but this time they played even more embarrassingly, and they were about to be swept by the Clippers.
At the end of the halftime game, the Clippers also took the lead 60:57 after completing the lead in the second quarter. All of this is developing in the direction that the Thunder did not want.
All Thunder fans once again put their eyes on An Sheng, feeling that this game was really difficult for him to bear, and all the reasons were the Asian who walked into the player tunnel silently.
Yao Ming's success in the NBA did not make many Americans think that Asians are good at playing, but now Anson's success has made many people start to really pay attention to the possibility of Asians. Yao Ming is too high, but they seem I also forgot that An Sheng's physical fitness is definitely a bug in the league, but it was hard for them to believe that Asians' bodies would have this level at the beginning.
Anson's swing ability in the third and fourth positions is combined with his passing and Chris Paul's field control. This combination is simply made for small lineups. In the small lineup matchup last year, the Clippers finally He was defeated by the Heat by a small gap, but the big reason is that Blake Griffin, as an insider, is too sticky to the ball, so his fourth position has a lot to do with the speed of the lineup.
But this year, the Anthony Davis traded by the Clippers for Blake Griffin can also become an excellent center in a small lineup. He and Jordan can take turns playing at the fifth position in a small lineup. He can even do better than Jordan, his jump shot and offensive ability are far from what Jordan can match, and the current Clippers are the king of small lineups!
