Chapter 1262
The Clippers still wanted to play fast from the very beginning. How should I put it, this team has always been like this and the firepower is not bad. With Paul controlling the field, there will not be many mistakes.But as I said before, Rondo's task in this game is to strangle Paul.Because as long as Paul is consumed a lot, it will be difficult for the rest of the Clippers to perform well.They are all too used to relying too much on this little point guard.Including Griffin + Jordan, there is the best team and the best defensive team. Logically speaking, it is not the most common All-Star.However, they are all relatively functional All-Star players.Little Jordan's offense is not fed by anyone, which is almost equivalent to no lethality. Some people are fed by cakes, but it is no more than a blue-collar level.His forte is on the defensive end.Griffin, it seems that he can do everything, facing the basket, backing up, controlling the ball, turning around, and hitting hard, all dabble, but it's just "a little dabble".At critical times, he is basically invisible and unable to stand out.

So when it comes to the strongest power forwards in the league, his name is always intentionally or unintentionally ignored.

Except for dunks, except for good statistics, it seems that there is no sense of existence.

Therefore, losing Rondo and losing Paul have completely different meanings for the two parties.

Paul didn't play very comfortably at the beginning, and Rondo is also a short guard, plus he is fast and strong in lateral movement, and his wingspan is a nightmare for all 1 positions.Paul only has strength, and he has a clear advantage over Rondo physically.In addition, Rondo is also an extremely good top point guard, so Paul is a little uncomfortable with defending with all his strength.It has been a long time since he has seen Rajon Rondo who is so active and strong in defense.It seems that after going to the Lakers, he really has a feeling of returning to the top.

Paul didn't choose too much entanglement. He gave the ball to Griffin as soon as halftime passed, and Griffin still had some advantage in playing Randall.Although Randall has good physical fitness and strong strength, he is still too young. This year is only the second year, and he spent most of the time in the hospital bed last year, so the feint of eating the former is very serious.This is also a problem with Randall now. The defense is either not very active, or it is too active. This speed is not well grasped.

After Griffin scored several times, Larry Brown made a quick substitution and used Yi Jianlian to deal with it.Yi Jianlian is taller and has a longer arm. Compared with Griffin, he has a hardware advantage. Naturally, his physical fitness is not as good as his opponent, but as long as he is not easy to be tricked into jumping in defense, it will be fine.Because of the Lakers' inside line and the No. 29 basket guard, Griffin scored in, and the effect was not necessarily good.The main thing is to prevent some of his offenses before entering the paint.

Yi Jianlian belongs to the kind of player whose creative ability is not outstanding enough in the NBA, but he listens to the head coach's instructions very much, so sometimes it is too rigid, but sometimes it can have good results.Griffin missed both shots after Yi Jianlian came on.You can say that Yi Jianlian guarded him. After all, the two of them are facing each other now. You can also say that Griffin screwed himself up.Isn't it funny that he wants to deal with Yi Jianlian the same way he just dealt with Randall.

Since Yi Jianlian partnered with Tang Qian on the inside, he has developed a habit of not taking off easily. What he has to do is to delay and delay.His physical fitness is naturally good. He is the historical top of the yellow race, and can be ranked near the upper middle in the NBA. The thin body problem that he suffered before is gone now, so he defends honestly, and the effect is still there.In the past, Yi Jianlian still wanted to prove and express herself too much, so it was a bit counterproductive on the defensive end.

Griffin killed one and went in, Yi Jianlian tried his best to block it, it was impossible to block it, but just do what can be done.Sure enough, because of his delay, Griffin's shot time was slowed down, and Griffin's explosive power on the move was weakened, which gave the Lakers No. 29 at the other side of the basket enough reaction time.So this ball, as soon as Griffin came in, he was shot by a big hat.

Griffin is not working at this point, Paul can only do it himself, because the rest of the people still rely too much on his passing to get opportunities.His ability to create scoring opportunities with the ball is not good.Paul wants to speed up the rhythm and speed on the court, but Rondo will not let him do it easily. The two often have fierce entanglements in the top arc, which is very enjoyable to watch.

Paul also remembered that the guy in front of him was once a defensive player in the league more than once. For such a player, it is not so easy for him to break through easily.Those long arms, which are a bit abnormally long, always give people a huge psychological pressure if they are not there.In this case, the Clippers' offensive rhythm did not rise as expected, but fell into a bit of a slowdown.

The Lakers used this period to slowly widen the score difference. Griffin's singles are like this, one after another, sometimes it works well, and sometimes it seems like it won't be played at all. The efficiency is extremely poor.When Griffin couldn't open it, Paul could only forcibly collide with Rondo himself to create a scoring opportunity for the Clippers.Paul made an aggressive breakthrough, and then dribbled the ball continuously to find rhythmic flaws. After spotting one, he hit it close to his body.Rondo defended well, but in the end the opponent was Paul, and it was unrealistic to completely defend against him.Paul used his strong personal ability to make a direct pass from the strong and weak side. This pass was quite difficult. Under such a strict single defense, it would be difficult for an ordinary point guard to dribble, let alone see all directions. Opportunity to pass this difficult pass.The basketball cut across the Lakers' defense and landed in the hands of JJ Redick at a 45-degree angle to the left.Redick made a three-pointer and made a hit.

His three-pointers have always been very accurate, the NCAA's historical marksman, not blocked.He didn't let go of this chance ball.

However, it is impossible for Paul to fight like this for a long time, because it consumes a lot of energy. It is more difficult just to deal with Rondo's constant pestering, and the pressure is much greater than usual.Now that he still has to work so hard to organize, his state and physical fitness will drop significantly in a short time.But don't forget, Chris Paul has never been a physical monster.His physical fitness is good, but now he is over 30 years old, and his average appearance this season has dropped to 32 minutes per game, which is the evidence.This is the lowest value since he joined the NBA.As for Rondo, although the Lakers don't have another reliable No. 1 substitute besides him, his task tonight is obviously easier than Paul's, and he only needs to focus on defense.If you can organize the offensive end, you can organize it. If you can't organize it, it doesn't matter. The Lakers are a slow-paced team, just play slowly.

Even if there are a little more mistakes, it's okay. If this consumption continues, Paul will definitely get tired first.

And the inside Lakers haven't shown their power yet.It has reached a stalemate stage, and both sides have ironed several balls. At this time, this kind of stickiness needs someone to come out and break it.The choice of the Lakers is very simple. It is given to the inside, Tang Qian will play with the ball, and Jordan on the opposite side will come to defend.Jordan is quite confident about his defense.But, this season's Tang Qian is not the same as last season. He can't stand the latter with the way he used the playoffs.After Tang Qian contradicted, he forcibly cut in to occupy the space, pressing down on Jordan.Jordan struggled to block the shot, and the two collided. His physical confrontation took the upper hand, and he could only watch the Lakers score the goal on the 29th.At the same time, he also lost a personal foul.

"I said, do you still think that the old ways of last season can defend me?" Tang Qian walked to the free throw line and said, "I'm sorry, you think too much." At the free throw line, Tang Qian also made an extra free throw.The first offense of the game scored a 3-pointer.A good start.The Clippers fell into a passive position because the team's offensive organization was not good at the main time of the first quarter.With a few minutes left in the first quarter, the first substitute time of the game began. Clippers coach Rivers actually wanted to use the substitute to play a wave of high-speed defensive counterattacks. After a large number of quick downs, There were many mistakes.Come on, they also don't have any good points of organization on the bench.The strongest is just one, Rivers Jr. and Jeff Green.Both of them are people who average 1+ assists per game, and they can only serve as the end point.Pierce, who was supposed to join the Clippers, is in the Lakers again.Of course, on their bench, there are still a lot of finishing points, and the scoring is not bad.But it's a bit taken for granted to want to push so fast.The Lakers are not vegetarians either.Except for the weak No. 1 position, the rest of the players can be regarded as hard-working defensively. With the addition of Larry Brown's system training bonus, they played steadily and let the first quarter end. The idea of ​​the Clippers Rivers was completely defeated.
