Chapter 393 Two-wing defense

In the first quarter, Ji Guochou scored 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Ji Guomo 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups 5 points, 2 assists, Crawford 5 points, and Avraro 3 points.

James scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Brand scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, Big Z scored 2 points, Mo Williams scored 5 points, West scored 3 points, and Valaijo scored 2 points.

"LeBron gave three assists in the first quarter. We can no longer let him play like this. Strengthen the defense on both sides and prevent him from breaking through the ball. He can make him shoot outside the free throw line, but he must not make him pass or break through." Old Dunleavy thought for a long time in the first quarter and finally came up with a way to defend James, mainly to strengthen the defense of both wings, so that James could not break through the ball.

If the Clippers' strategy is implemented, the premise is that a defender must have an impact on James' breakthrough, otherwise other Clippers players will not be able to take into account the defense of both wings. Needless to say, the little fox has to go up and fight against James.

In the second quarter, the two teams had a substitute battle. The Clippers had Crawford and Barnes, which undoubtedly had the upper hand. Black Bread only allowed James to rest for three minutes and quickly replaced him on the court.

Old Dunleavy didn't dare to let the twin brothers rest more. James was a player who had the ability to change the situation in one or two minutes and could not relax at all times.

The second quarter was 9 minutes and 05 seconds, with a score of 28:25, and the Clippers led by 3 points.

The Clippers replaced: Dragic, Crawford, Ji Guomo, Jeffries, and Ji Guofu's lineup.

Cavaliers changed: Daniel Gibson, West, James, Valaijo, Big Z.

Ji Guomeng came on the court and defended James. Dunleavy told him that when a choice was needed, he would shoot but not break through. The other players retracted and cut off James' passing route. He used the defense of the whole team to make it impossible for the Gorillas to pass the ball.

James dribbled through again after he came on the court. Valejo immediately took the ball and rolled it. The goal was to get out of the way for the young emperor. This is where the Clippers' defense can make a fuss. The Cavaliers' pass position to respond to James is almost on both wings. As long as they are fast enough, they can completely block the pass.

"I knew you were going to pass on the big z." Ji Guomomo followed James tightly and used his long arms to prevent the latter from making layups.

James suddenly entered the penalty area and had to choose to pass the ball. The target was the low post on the other side of Valaijo. The Cavaliers stood at two low posts on the left and right respectively, and the two defenders from the outside were standing outside the three-point line on the two wings.

Ji Guoqiu took a step and intercepted the basketball with his long arm. The Clippers had a premeditated defense this time and successfully cut off James' pass.

When Dragic received the basketball, the Clippers immediately launched a quick counterattack, two-for-two in the frontcourt, Crawford received the pass, and easily scored the ball with a jump layup against West's defense.

"That's it. If you pinch their wings, James can only shoot from the outside if he can't make a ball. The threat will be greatly reduced." Old Dunleavy waved his arm off the court, feeling that his arrangement was really wise and powerful.

James failed to attack three consecutive times under the targeted defense of the Clippers. Mike Brown quickly called a timeout and then replaced Elton Brand, hoping that the old captain would break the Clippers' defense in the inside.

Brand will finally reflect his value now. Brand, who replaced Big Z, still plays as a power forward, and Valaijo is transferred to the center position.

Jeffries defended Brand and delivered food. The old captain scored two points at a low post, and then broke through the frame and almost made a two-plus-one.

Old Dunleavy could only replace Jeffries and move Panda brother to the power forward to defend Brand. However, the Clippers coach thought about it and glanced at Jordan Jr. and Almi Johnson, who were eager to try, and chose Jordan Jr., who had stronger athleticism, to serve as the center.

The Clippers' lineup has become: Billups, Crawford, Ji Guomo, Ji Guoqie, and Jordan Jr.

Brand played more cautiously in the face of Ji Guoqiu's defense. The giant panda is so popular now that Brand no longer dares to treat him as an ordinary second-grade player, but instead treats this Chinese as an opponent of his level.

Ji Guoqiu's weight has increased to 240 pounds, but he still can't withstand the opponent's reliance on the game, but at least he won't be as passive as last season. Brand found that it was not easy for him to squeeze into the right offensive area, and he could not directly push the penalty area for five seconds. If he stepped on the penalty area line, he had to turn around and make an offensive action.

Brand turned around and pretended to move twice in a row, but Ji Guoqiu behind him was not fooled. Brand had no choice but to force his move and raised his attack arc to avoid the latter's perverted arm span.

As a result, the ball hit the basket and the old captain finally failed to make a shot when he made a third low attack.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "Although Brother Panda is relatively thin, he uses his athletic ability and arm span to make up for this shortcoming. The excellent bounce and long arm span have a great effect on both offense and defense. Brand's height defect made him trouble. But the giant panda does not take fake moves. I have a premonition that he will become more terrifying than Duncan in the future."

Kenny Smith agreed with the premonition of big butt and said: "Super physical talent + top basketball IQ + excellent psychological quality + outstanding technology. He has all the conditions to become a superstar. In fact, he is already a superstar now. In the future, these two brothers will definitely be in the forefront in the Hall of Fame."

Ji Guoqiu defended a goal, and the Clippers fans at Staples Stadium cheered for their outstanding performance in the new core.

But Brother Panda did not react much. He first landed on the offensive end to the low post on the left, then quickly turned around and ran to the low post on the other side, receiving a timely pass from Billups.

Now it turns out that Brand defends Ji Guoqiu. The two changed their offensive and defensive positions, and the Clippers fans shouted: "panda, panda."

Ji Guoqiu leaned back and immediately turned around and broke through without any extra movement. The basketball pressed down the moment he turned around, and passed the ball through the gorilla's crotch and landed straight onto Ji Guomomi.

The cheers from the Clippers fans became even louder, and the magical connection between the two brothers was revealed again. The poor gorilla was already penetrated before they could react.

Ji Guomeng received the basketball and then broke through to the basket. Brother Panda passed the ball without pause. He moved over and made a cover without a ball. He helped Ji Guomeng block James. The little fox rushed to the basket in two steps and flew to the basket and dunked. He used his arm-span advantage to catch up before the old captain who was changing defense blocked, and quickly poured the basketball into the basket with one arm. The ball was almost filled through Brand, and it was the top ten goals per month.

After Ji Guomeng poured the basketball into the espn radio, Patrick Ewing laughed: "Incredible, the poor Cavaliers were played with by the cooperation of the twin brothers. The old captain switched defenses one step slower. The little fox was as fast as the guard, and this dunk was neat and neat. I like such games and dunks."

Reggie Miller smiled and said, "I prefer Brother Panda's pass through the crotch. I thought he wanted to attack hard, but I didn't expect him to make such a wonderful pass. This is a very morale-enhancing performance."

The Cavaliers attacked, and James, who was penetrated by the crotch, was already furious and once again asked his teammates for the ball to attack in the backcourt.

"Looking at his right hand, pressing tightly on his right hand, and resolutely not letting him break through along the right. The inside line should be fast to attack in advance." Old Dunleavy shouted at the sideline at the top of his throat, which made James feel very annoyed.

Ji Guomeng really looked at the right side. He didn't let James break through from the right side, and the gorilla from the left was not that fast, so his defense would be easier.

James was transported to the frontcourt, and this time he played a rhythm change. He stopped when breaking through, deliberately had a physical contact with Ji Guomo. With a little force, he knocked the dead fox away and accelerated into the inside again.

"Oh no, this guy is too cunning." Ji Guomei was so mean by James' rhythm, and he quickly asked Ji Guoqiu to fill his seat in his heart.

"I knew you couldn't rely on it!" Ji Guoqiu came up in advance and attacked James who broke through Ji Guohuo.

James immediately passed the ball to Brand. Ji Guomeng, who had been passed before, had already been put to the old captain at this time. The Clippers' quick rotation did not reveal any gaps.

Brand had no chance, and the Clippers players stood well at this time. The old captain had no choice but to choose to take advantage of Ji Guohumi's defense and scored a goal with his personal strength.

"Damn, this game is really not easy to play." Ji Guomeng almost blocked the basketball, but it was not possible to get a slight difference. Brand used his personal strength to score the ball, and his successful defense failed to get the rewards he deserved. This was very unhappy.

The Clippers missed a hit in the next attack, James turned around and made a three-pointer, and the score gap became two points.

In the second quarter, 5 minutes and 20 seconds, with a score of 38:36, James, who had a good touch, made a three-pointer from the outside, and the two teams began to form a tug-of-war.

Crawford was replaced two minutes later, and Dunleavy was replaced: Billups, Garcia, Barnes, Ji Guomo and Ji Guochou's lineup, strengthening the footsteps on both ends of the offense and defense, and stabilizing the defense.

James has no advantage in his footsteps against Barnes. In addition, the twin brothers' inside attack speed is faster, so the Gorilla can still only make trouble on the outside. But what made the Clippers feel depressed today was that the Gorilla felt very good today. He made two three-pointers in the first half, which was a very excellent hit rate for James.

In the last attack of the first half, the Clippers attacked with the ball, with 20 seconds left in the game. Billups dribbles and stared at the timer. The Clippers would not leave the Cavaliers with another chance to play.

The score was 46:46, and the two teams fell into the defensive quagmire in the second half of the second quarter, and the scoring speed slowed down.

In the last eight seconds, the two brothers used double pick-and-roll again. Garcia and Barnes stood at the two 45-degree three-pointers on the left and right. The two brothers played pick-and-roll for Billups together. There are countless arrangements and combinations of the Clippers' offenses.

Now all teams have some methods to deal with the Clippers' offensive tactics. Some teams will use joint defense and focus on defending basketball; some teams will narrow the defensive circle and focus on defending the Clippers' biggest threat to the Big Three, letting go of two players outside the three-point line.

The Cavaliers chose the second type, and the five men shrank and trapped the Clippers' Big Three like fishing nets. Billups' pass to Garcia was almost cut off, but Mr. Key's passing skills were excellent, and the latter still received the basketball.

"Swish!"
