Chapter 381: The level of the playoffs

Even Jordan and Griffin cannot complete such a tactic with a pick-and-roll cooperation within a very small range.

Both of these guys have obvious shortcomings and range. Although Griffin practiced shooting hard for the last summer and made great progress in the middle distance, mid-range shooting still cannot become Griffin's main scoring method.

Due to their technical limitations, Griffin and Jordan Jr.'s tactical changes on the offensive end are far less than those of Angel and Aldridge. Therefore, it is difficult for Griffin and Jordan Jr. to achieve this exquisite cooperation between the inside and the inside.

Winnie Denagro had already started thinking. If Anger and Aldridge were completely opened before they could find a solution, it would be too late.

Afterwards, Griffin tried to play singles with Aldridge in the inside. But when he carried it into the inside, he found that Anjie was always able to complete double-teams in time.

There is no way, DeAndrew Jordan, a guy with almost no shooting ability, can help Griffin open up the space. Anger can rest assured to put him far away and then defend the basket wholeheartedly!

On the other hand, Aldridge, although he is much thinner than Griffin, Aldridge has the advantage in his personal singles.

Griffin's embarrassing arm span made him unable to interfere with Aldridge's dribble with his back-to-back push. Aldridge's turnover jump shot also made Griffin, who was inexperienced, lose his experience.

In the regular season, Griffin was thousands of times more dazzling than Aldridge. But in the playoffs, Griffin realized that there were too many things he needed to improve...

In the subsequent games, the Trail Blazers gradually took control of the situation. It was not until the second teams of both sides appeared that the Clippers finally won back to Yi City.

Like the Trail Blazers, there is also a sixth man in the Clippers who is not easy to mess with. He is Nick Yang, who was urgently recruited by the Clippers in the second half of the season!

This season, Nick Young can contribute 6.6 points per game per game in the Wizards. For yi substitutes, this is definitely a statistic that can be called "level".

After joining the Clippers, Nick Young's performance is still good. This guy will never be affected by different systems, because in his world, he himself is a system!

This guy prefers to work alone more than Jamal Crawford. It may be difficult for you to receive assists from him in a season. But what's scary is that this guy can really perform well!

Today, Jamal Crawford's performance was obviously slightly inferior. Contney Lee's touch was also very average, and he only hit the ball in three shots.

So, under the leadership of Nick Yang's shots and attacks, the Clippers slowly narrowed the gap. Until the end of the 1st quarter, the score became 25-2o. If there were no Nick Yang, the gap would have to be a point.

Nick's outstanding move did make the Clippers fans feel very excited. However, Winnie Denagro was not happy about Nick Young's performance.

Why? No matter how powerful Nick Yang is, he is also an individual. It is impossible for the team to rely solely on Yi Yi, or a substitute to defeat the opponent. If you want to win, Denagro must make the Clippers' lineup more efficient. Nick Yang alone is not enough to let the Clippers drag the Trail Blazers into the water.

"Your double-teaming choice against Griffin in the first quarter is great, but you have to pay attention to DeAndrew and Jordan's incision. As long as he gets the space, he can force dunk. Griffin's kid's skills are not rough, and he can send Jordan Jr., which is not difficult for him!" During the break, the Trail Blazers' performance in the first quarter was enough to satisfy Ricard. So compared to the anxious Denagro, all Ricard had to do was check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps.

"Jamar, next I want you to defend more seriously. You have given Nick Young too many opportunities to take action. I don't want to see this guy get a higher score than you!" After that, Ricard said a few words to Crawford in a rare way.

Crawford may have a very fierce attack, but his absent-minded defense can always make Ricard die. If Nick Young scored a very high score today, then Jamal Crawford's efficiency on the court would be completely negative.

Crawford just nodded casually. God knows if this guy listened. I hope the playoffs can make this person who fights simply for money and put in more effort...

"Griffin, use your body to fight against Aldridge! Fight the basket, even if you are there to guard it, you will continue to perform the offense for me! Even if you can't make a move, there is a high chance of committing a foul!" Denagro knew that he didn't have to worry about Paul, but the young Griffin, the key to whether the Clippers can win, requires correct guidance.

Now, Denagro believes that Griffin's body is definitely enough to deal with the entanglement between Angel and Aldridge. In the 1st quarter, Griffin either chooses to pass the ball or hook it up. If he plays like this, his efficiency will naturally not be improved. What if he uses his body to play at the basket? Angel is indeed very hard, but don't forget that Griffin is not soft either!

So at the beginning of the second quarter, Aldridge felt that his defense was not as relaxed as in the first quarter. Before he received Paul's pass, Griffin began to use his body to squeeze into the inside.

Griffin just needs to worry about whether he can get to a comfortable position, because no matter where you are on the court, Paul can guarantee to send the ball!

This ball Griffin needs to be very deep. As long as you step in a small step, you will enter the three-second zone.

In order to prevent Jordan from running, Anjie's assisting defense range was not as large as in the first quarter. Now, the preparation for cutting is ready, so he is waiting for Paul to feed the ball in!

Paul shook the yisi space through his extremely fast dribbling. After that, he started to pass the ball, and the target was Blake Griffin, who was now growing up with his palm.

Seeing the basketball flew out of Paul's hand, Denagro stood up from the bench, hoping to see carefully whether his new arrangement would work.

However......

"It's An! An appeared on the passing route! He intercepted the basketball in the middle. Oh my God, An actually made a guy like Chris Paul make a mistake!" Mike Bryn exclaimed. They have seen too many scenes of guard stealing the center. However, the center stealing the guard, which is really rare!

Even Chris Paul himself couldn't believe his eyes. As a point guard, he made more mistakes than players in other positions, which is normal. After all, their task is to organize the team's offense, and organizing the team's offense requires a large number of passes. A large number of passes represent more risks than others. Therefore, it is common for Paul to lose two passes in each game.

But Paul was killed by a center who suddenly jumped out and was killed by a center who was beaten to death. He would make a mistake in this way!

Anjie had long expected that the final offensive point would be Griffin. If not, Griffin would definitely not have struggled to compete for the position.

Since your assisted defense cannot cover the basket, the easiest way to stop the attack is to let the ball reach Griffin's hands!

So Anjie ran with Jordan Jr. while observing all Paul's movements. Finally, when Paul was preparing to pass the ball, Anjie seized the opportunity, stretched out his long arm, and successfully implemented this long-planned plan!

After the steal, if Felton and Matthews hadn't been too slow in progress, Anger would have used his precise long pass to make the Trail Blazers play a fast break.

Unfortunately, the two defenders around him are more suitable for positional battles and are not good at switching offenses. If Westbrook were still beside Angel, the Clippers would have lost two points because of this mistake.

But slowly grinding the position does not mean that the Trail Blazers cannot seize the opportunity of Paul's mistake this time. It's just that they have to spend more time than fast attacks.

Felton knew that he was not the kind of impact guard. In fact, Felton's first step was not slow either, but his passing and finishing ability after the breakthrough was not too strong. Instead of blind breakthrough without a plan, he organized patiently and slowly, this is the more suitable style for him to play.

The interspersed running of Angel and Aldridge made Jordan and Griffin confused. Today, Ricard decided to defeat the Clippers in an unconventional way!

In the past, Anger either held the ball at the high position or played singles at the low position. But today, he and Aldridge were like two defenders, constantly tearing the Clippers' defense line through running.

Jordan and Griffin are excellent in athleticism, and it is not difficult for them to keep up with these two people. But the difficulty lies in the interspersed running position of Angel and Aldridge, which usually makes them have two defenses, and completely miss the situation of other individuals.

This time, Aldridge and Anjie passed each other again. This kind of running effect between the inside line and the inside line can't be found much with a pick-and-roll!

But this time, when Angel passed by Aldridge, he suddenly ran back. Griffin thought Jordan would continue to follow up, so he kept holding Aldridge. What about Jordan? He thought Griffin should switch defense with him, so he did not respond to Anger's escape.

"Fuck!" Griffin and Jordan Jr. glared at each other, and then Tongyi turned his head and chased back. However, at this time, Felton's ball had already been thrown into the air, and Anjie had already taken the ball to the air, received the basketball, and completed the aerial relay with full power!

The two inside players who are the best at getting an empty connection are now defeated by An Jie in an empty connection!

"With a beautiful cooperation, the tactical arrangement of Coach Calder's goal is simply exquisite. Of course, Ann's execution ability is also very high. DeAndrew Jordan and Blake Griffin used their strong athletic ability to deliver wonderful goals to the fans in the regular season. But they must figure out that this is not the regular season. The playoffs are not the place to speak with bounce!" Kenny Smith saw that DeAndrew Jordan and Griffin are the real "regular season players."

In the subsequent games, Griffin and Jordan Jr. could not keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythms of Aldridge and Anger. Even though these two people's athletic ability is the top in the league, they are still played together by Anger and Aldridge, who have playoff experience.

Jordan Jr. did finish the block, but that was also against Jamal Crawford who broke through. Facing Angel, Jordan Jr. even had a very difficult time stopping him from scoring, let alone blocking.

Afterwards, Nick Yang Yi was as helpful as ever. He fired continuously outside the three-point line and hit a continuous shot. Faced with such a ball, Anger and Aldridge could do nothing.

It is precisely because of Nick Young that this game has maintained suspense. If someone on the bench could stand up, the Clippers, who were so embarrassed that they were not defended, would not be able to bite the score.

In the end, the Trail Blazers won a temporary half-time victory with a score of 58-49.

Although he was not much behind, Denagro was a little desperate inside. Because so far, he still couldn't come up with a decent solution.
