Chapter 490 Guarding the Basket
After Chris Paul once again passed a beautiful pass to Anson without the ball, Anson used his stable touch to score two points again in the middle distance. The Clippers have chased the score to only 7 points.
Recovering 11 points in half a quarter requires not only a smooth offense, but defense is also extremely important.The two insiders produced very good results in just 8 minutes.Especially Jordan, if Anthony Davis has shown his offensive ability as the Big Three and the core of the interior offense during this period of time, then, on the contrary, it is the defensive ability displayed by Jordan in the interior.
The Heat's lineup is very deformed. It means that their insiders lack the ability to score one-on-one inside. This is not a problem at the beginning. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are the best in NBA history One of the few breakout players whose [-]-pointers are the biggest problem.Well, they naturally don't want the inside line to be crowded.
Chris Bosh and JaVale McGee are fast moving among centers, so they can stay outside from the beginning or pick and roll from high positions, so that all the space inside is left to them both. At the same time, the three-point ability provided by the Royal Salute is very powerful, which made them invincible in the previous games.
The Indiana Pacers are called the small Eastern Clippers. Part of the reason is their configuration and the Clippers really want to. A power forward with good scoring ability and above-level mid-range shooting ability may be defensive There is a slight gap, a solid and effective frame-protecting center. Both sides have their own characteristics, but they are both small forwards as core players. · George also definitely deserves the pick the Pacers have given him.The shooting guard is a player with three-point ability and certain breakthrough ability, and the player in the Pacers shares part of the gap between Paul George and Anson's organizational ability.And the point guard doesn't need much, Chris Paul is the pinnacle of the traditional point guard, but George Hill of the Pacers is not far behind in this respect.This is why they were able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Pacers team can be said to have no weaknesses at all, except for Paul George, who is close to the age of a superstar, who has been puzzled. Mature Heat, then.They should have been the team that should have met the Clippers in the Finals.
It's just that they were defeated by the Heat, which had obvious weaknesses, because the two strengths of the Clippers were on the Pacers' side. Paul George could barely fight against the others, but the Clippers were different. The offense in the first half did overwhelm the Clippers, but the Clippers quickly organized a strong defense.Jordan replaced Anson to do a lot of defensive work.
LeBron James wants to use his offensive ability to stop the momentum of the Clippers when the Clippers are chasing points. Although Anson does not hold the ball on the offensive end, he has been running infinitely without the ball. For Anson, this Some consumption is not small.On the defensive end, it was easily passed by LeBron James using the pick-and-roll.He doesn't have the stamina to go around this pick-and-roll to catch up with LeBron James' rhythm.
After passing Anson, LeBron James seems to have underestimated the defense he will have to bear next. He took two steps directly at the free throw line and wanted to use a dunk to perfectly contain the Clippers. morale.
"Don't try to dunk, this side of the penalty area is not your kingdom, little emperor!" Jordan fought hard to defend and gave LeBron James a big cap, directly sending the ball from the penalty area to the three-point line In addition, it is obvious that this good opportunity belongs to An Sheng. Today, his offensive efficiency in the positional battle is not high, but he is helpless. There is always such a good opportunity for him to score so easily.
An Sheng once again easily scored two points. In the second half, only relying on the fast break, An Sheng had already scored 12 points.Now the audience has scored 28 points without knowing it, surpassing LeBron James' 26 points.After all, the Heat's advantage just now is not just because of LeBron James.
"Shaquille, I have already said that this Clippers will come back. They will not be able to win the championship just relying on Anson. Similarly, they will not be able to win 73 games. As long as Anson can provide him Effective help, then this Clippers is still that powerful Clippers."
As Charles Barkley said, the importance of Anson was shown in the first half, but the effect of his teammates' abilities in the second half was enough to make everyone pay attention to their abilities.
This dunk chased the split to 5 points. Eric Spoel immediately called a timeout and was very decisive. The 18-point advantage lost 8 points in just 13 minutes.It has to be said that the Clippers' scoring explosiveness is worthy of respect, even if An Sheng just being a track and field player in this wave of chasing points is enough to make his score increase rapidly.
"Success rate! Don't let the opponent play a fast break! Defense!" Coach Eric Spoel shouted very seriously off the court, trying to use his roar to let the Heat break free from the Clippers' defensive counterattack like a tide. Now, it's important for the Heat to maintain their success rate, and LeBron James' offensive failure just hit the Heat especially hard.
What the Clippers want is to take advantage of the victory and pursue. He still keeps the full main lineup on the court, and wants to tie the score before the fourth quarter, or even overtake.It's a pity that the Clippers didn't take the opportunity to quickly smooth out all the points. They quickly started to attack the inside again, and the Clippers' fiery touch on the offensive three-point line also slowly fell. .
The difference between the two sides has been hovering around 5 points since An Sheng's one-stop fast break.The Heat had no way to open the score, but their defensive improvement after the timeout was also obvious, and it was also very difficult for the Clippers to score every point.At the end of the third quarter, the two sides are still fighting over the 5-point difference here, not giving an inch, and Jordan even surrendered his fourth foul early, but this is not without value , In addition to relying on free throws to score 5 points, LeBron James almost completely misfired in the third quarter.
