Chapter 202
The matchmaker (fourth update)
This move of the Clippers can be regarded as Tian Ji’s horse racing.
Even though the overall strength is not as good as that of the Lakers, they still hide the top and middle-class horses off the court.
The purpose is to chase points with the second team, which is part of Min Congda's calculations.
The Lakers still had no starting five players. Bynum took advantage of his height advantage and continued to rush to the basket with high shots.
Gasol is already tall enough, but Bynum is taller and has longer arms.
The Lakers just threw high to the basket like a bully.
Bynum raised his hands, caught the ball and threw it toward the basket.
He scored easily and beat Gasol to the point where he lost his temper.
For several games in a row, Gasol and Randolph just couldn't deal with it.
Randolph will guard Odom, and Odom will go to the outside and pull Randolph out.
Bynum once again caught the ball in the low post and beat Gasol with his back.
The more critical the game is, the harder your hands are and the better your performance will be.
He frequently lost position under the basket and was lifted high by Bynum.
Randolph got the backcourt rebound, and Curry once again set the pace.
Lao Deng didn't know if he was fascinated by the game, but he didn't make any substitutions just now.
Tucker moved to the power forward position against Odom.
The triangle offensive formation is very suitable for feeding the ball like this.
The Lakers took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to make another substitution.
Able to face the defense and score the ball under pressure.
Because the defensive intensity has increased, too much cooperation will increase the probability of mistakes.
Use the rhythm to throw off the defender, hit the ball with a throw and score two points.
Gasol glanced at Min Congda, who shouted to him: "If you let Bynum score a goal like that again, I will change your jersey to Gasol! Because you are too soft!"
23:21, only 2 points left.
Those scores were all too easy.
Ricky Davis had an opportunity in the left corner, received the ball and shot a three-pointer.
Kobe missed the shot and Corvo was in very bad shape tonight.
The Clippers adjusted their status in a short period of time.
Although we are still lagging behind, we are obviously getting better and better.
Min Congda saw Fisher's three-pointer and thought: "Bald No. 2 is not that good, he is still very good. But why do I think you can't stand up when the team loses? Now I think the Clippers can
After winning a game, you started to show off, are you targeting me?"
23:18, only 5 points left.
Gasol, who had just gone down to rest for less than two minutes, reappeared.
After Curry came on the court, he was like a galloping pony, running with the wind.
This three-pointer tonight is very important for his confidence.
Fisher is a typical playoff player and a major tournament player.
So far in the series, Curry has only made 6 three-pointers.
Therefore, his name is "Mark" printed on the back of his jersey, not Gasol.
After Bynum scored, the Clippers did not stop and play position.
It's because he doesn't want to always be compared to his brother. He is an independent and excellent basketball player with his own personality.
Although Gasol grew up under the guidance of his older brother, many people who have great older brothers do not want to live under his halo.
He played center in the 1970s. At that time, NBA interiors were really about fighting.
And he will take decisive action in the playoffs.
Just like Jiang Wu didn't want to live in the halo of his brother Jiang Wen and wanted to carve out his own world.
After covering again, he broke through the middle. This time he chose to distribute the ball to the left side.
Kobe Bryant, Gasol, and Fisher are all masters of feeding the ball.
Ricky Davis' three-pointer!
After coming on the court, Ricky scored 5 points.
In the first quarter, Fisher made his third three-pointer.
This time Gasol resisted, and Bynum's turning hook missed.
Hearing what Min Congda said, Jin Hughes nodded, he understood this.
Less cooperation requires players to have strong personal abilities.
In the first quarter, he was indeed beaten a little embarrassed by Bynum.
Curry found a 45-degree opportunity, shot a three-pointer, and hit!
It can be said to be a big loss of standards.
Every time someone mentions that he is Gasol's younger brother, Gasol will emphasize: "I am Mark! Not Gasol!"
It slowed down.
Curry has understood this truth after three games.
Curry quickly passed the half court with the ball, and hit the basket with a pick-and-roll screen in the middle.
During the timeout, Kim Hughes conveyed Min Congda's words to Gasol.
Subsequently, Gasol caused a foul on Randolph under the basket.
Curry's three-pointer! Ignited the enthusiasm of the Clippers fans in the audience!
At this time, he is like the substitute No. 1 pick at the beginning of the regular season.
Min Congda said to Jin Hughes who was sitting on the bench: "Old Jin, tell Mark during the timeout later to be more aggressive on defense. If there is another ball like this, just knock Bynum over with an elbow."
The Lakers also made adjustments, with Odom replacing Gasol and Brown replacing Kobe.
Hit!
When Min Congda saw this, he shouted to Dengleavy: "Old Deng, you also need to change! Let Tucker come on!"
Kim Hughes is the team's assistant coach and is also responsible for training the team's center.
Randolph was at a disadvantage.
On average, they only scored two goals per game, which was half less than in the regular season.
What Min Congda said undoubtedly touched the sore point of Marc Gasol.
Gasol nodded and said, "I won't do it anymore, I will never do it again!"
After experiencing an extremely unfavorable start.
The cooperation in the playoffs is obviously less than in the regular season.
At the critical moment, Fisher also hit a three-pointer from the outside.
Anyway, if he is not allowed to elbow his brother, what does Bainum have to fear?
Not only because Bynum is tall, but also because the Lakers pass the ball well.
Maybe because my brother is here, I don’t dare to beat him too brutally for fear of being scolded.
The ball was dead and the game entered an official timeout.
Now, he should hurry up.
The Clippers need to find some way to contain this easy-ball.
26:21.
Hearing Min Congda's shout, he quickly changed players and replaced Randolph with Tucker.
Later, when he starts playing in the starting lineup, he will inevitably have to match the rhythm of Randolph and others.
Gasol played too civilly. How could he be so civilized in the playoffs?
In this case, the Clippers will not have defensive mismatches.
When Tucker is on defense, he can do three or four, so he has no problem dealing with Odom.
This can be seen in this game.
There are some balls that Fisher wouldn't have thrown during the regular season.
The official timeout ended and both sides returned to the court.
Bynum was replaced, and Sangao always had two players on the court.
The Clippers counterattacked again, with continuous cooperation from the outside.
Every time he comes on the court to replace Davis, the Clippers' offensive rhythm changes.
As if his body was on clockwork, Tucker stood up immediately after hearing the order, took off his coat and came on stage.
On the opposite side, Phil Jackson saw Dunleavy replaced Tucker and thought: "Mike Dunleavy's substitution was very targeted and he did a great job. When did he change his gender and have such on-the-spot ability?"
Little did Jackson know that someone was giving orders behind Dunleavy.
Behind the puppet, there is a stringer.
Chapter completed!
