Chapter 51

In the basketball world, there are three kinds of people who are very popular.

The first type is taller, the second type is jumping high, and the third type is the most powerful, it is taller and jumps higher.

There are no other reasons. First of all, all shots are basically the closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate, or the easier it is to hit. (If physical factors are not taken into account, dunks can be scored 100%, but shooting is not necessarily the case.)
Secondly, the basket is in the air at [-] meters above the ground, the higher the height or the higher the jump, the closer to the basket, the more the ball can be shot.Conversely, if the shot is missed, the one who jumps higher is better at rebounding.

In the end, ten people on the ground fighting for a ball is a bit of a squeeze, especially if everyone is in the penalty area.But the air will never be congested. As long as you can take off in the air, you can find a way through the crowded crowd.

Therefore, players who can jump more or taller or both are often very popular in the NBA.

I have to say that it is indeed a good thing that the Clippers have two tall and jumping insiders, who can dunk and grab, and can bring huge damage to the Spurs in the air!
The Clippers' aerial kills started from the very beginning of the game, and the alley-oop that Griffin received from Paul was just a foreplay.

In the next quarter, the Clippers' aerial bombing team headed by Griffin and Jr. took turns to launch air strikes on the Spurs' basket. Even Hill, a veteran player, was able to receive a pass from Paul and stage a heavy dunk with both hands. The Spurs' air defense in the first quarter really had a big problem.

Especially Griffin and Jordan Jr., these two were active in the first quarter, all kinds of flying catches, rebounds, dunks, and blocks, completely turning the sky of Staples into their own airspace.

As for the Spurs, I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t familiarized themselves with the venue when they came here in the away game. In the first quarter, they were basically active on the ground, and there were few opportunities for aerial combat, and the Staples basket didn’t seem to be very welcoming. As an outsider, Leonard's two-handed dunk on a fast break counterattack in the first quarter actually dunked and flew, which made the audience laugh at that time.

Moreover, during an offense in the first quarter, Paul missed a mid-range shot. Just when Duncan got in position and was about to grab a rebound, Jordan behind him jumped up suddenly, and a long arm directly caught the shot in the air. The basket rejected the ball, and then unreasonably and fiercely stuffed the ball back into the basket!
"Bang-"

Jordan's dunk in the first quarter can make him play for a year. After all, it was Duncan who dunked, and the dunk was clean and neat. There was no problem at all. Duncan couldn't say anything except his face turned black.

I have to say here that Jordan's ability to complete this dunk cannot be separated from his strong physical fitness.

With a height of 211 centimeters and a weight of 120 kilograms, he is a standard heavy center forward.Coupled with super fast speed at the center position, amazing jumping ability, and that long excessive arm length!Little Jordan is simply a bomber specially used for air strikes!
Although other skills are rough, as long as Jordan can catch the ball passed by Paul, Paul can feed him into a super center in the league!
Compared with Jordan, Griffin, another aerial talent of the team, has a little tragedy, that is, his arms are short. Fortunately, Griffin has some good skills, and his explosive power and jumping ability are better than Jordan, so he can make up for it Look at the lack of short arms.

Of course, this is still a bit of a side effect, that is, sometimes Griffin's dunk action is too ugly because of his short hands, and he actually throws in many balls instead of dunking in.

But today, because the Spurs lack opponents who can also fly in the air, the disadvantage of Griffin's short arms has not yet emerged.

During the break in the first quarter, the Spurs' bench was silent.

The current score is 28:18, and the Spurs are a full 10 points behind.

"It's so embarrassing. Because of Chris, their two inside muscle sticks have been flying in the sky, and they don't even touch us on the ground." Griffin, but Griffin doesn't have much entanglement with him on the ground at all.

He either catches Paul or Billups or someone else's lob, or takes three quick steps and dunks directly. Dior can't jump up after he becomes a fat man, he can only watch Griffin flying around his head, and because of this Lost a foul.

"Who says it's not? With these two guys who can fly, they dare to shoot casually from the outside!" Parker also complained. There is no way. Paul's ability is too strong now. Although Parker has a height advantage, there is no way to limit it. Paul's elusive pass.

Duncan kept a dark face and didn't speak. Shifo has been in a bad mood since he was detained today.

Popovich looked at this group of disciples and frowned. There was no way. Today's tactics were fine, but he didn't expect the Clippers' two inside lanes to fly so well. It will be troublesome in a while.

"It's pretty good. They also need to rest inside. They shouldn't be on the field at the beginning of the second quarter. Manu, Danny, Boris, Matt, Patty, five of you! Manu distributes the ball and has a chance You must hit them with three points, and before their two flying little guys come up, you must narrow the point difference to less than five points!"

Popovich made the first tactical arrangement first, replaced five lineups capable of shooting three-pointers, and prepared to chase points.

"Then, if those two guys come back, Tim, you have to be prepared. I believe it's been so many years, how can you have experience with this kind of kid." Popovich really had a headache at this time, after all, the team is now Except for Duncan, the basket protection ability of others is really not enough.

But Duncan is old after all, and it is still very difficult for him to deal with two people alone.

"Coach" At this moment, Qin Yan suddenly raised his hand.

"Well. Qin, what's the matter." Popovich was more tolerant of Qin Yan, and did not blame him for his sudden speech.

"Coach, if the two people on the opposite side fly again, let me help Tim, and I will defend Blake." Qin Yan asked for a fight with a firm face.

"Well. Qin, are you sure? He is taller and stronger than you." Duncan was afraid that the little brother would be reckless, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's okay, talking about air combat, I can fly in our team, and in terms of physical fitness, I'm confident that I won't lose to the two of them, and I can make up for the difference in height by being a few blocks longer than Blake. Just keep an eye on DeAndre, Tim, and Blake will leave it to me." Qin Yan made up his mind, and it is true that he and Leonard are the only Spurs who can fly now, and Leonard is just average. , and Qin Yan's bounce can definitely rank in the top five in the league. If he doesn't stand up at this time, it will be difficult for the team to win.

"Okay, that's it, let's go next..." Popovich saw that the disciple was determined, and immediately made a new arrangement, redrawing the tactical board.

Indeed, Qin Yan is the only Spurs who can fight those two in the air.

Qin, please come on.Popovich encouraged his disciples in his heart.

At this time, Manu was walking around with four three-pointers on the court, and made a cold shot from time to time.On the Clippers side, Billups played with a bunch of substitutes.

Manu Ginobili and Chauncey Billups, two old rivals who were inextricably linked in the 05 Finals, meet again.This time, Manu had the upper hand. After all, the flounder was older and his state had declined more seriously.Moreover, the key is that the Clippers' nerve knife Crawford was inaccurate today, and many opportunities were wasted, while the other Clippers' substitutes were 5 scumbags. Soon, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to 3 points.

The Clippers couldn't sit still, and hurriedly replaced the lob team. On the Spurs side, the main players also played one after another.

"Mr. Zhang, how do you think the Spurs should limit the Clippers' lobs?" Ke Fan asked in the domestic live broadcast hall.

"I think it's better to send someone who can also jump to fight, and let the opponent give up the attack from the air, which is more reasonable." Teacher Zhang said.

"Then, Mr. Zhang, who do you think is more suitable?" Ke Fan asked again.

"The problem is that the Spurs don't have such a person in the team now, so the current situation is against them... Wait? What's the situation? Qin Yan misplaced Griffin? This is too unreasonable!" Teacher Zhang was going to say his own Looking at it, it turned out that the Spurs' defensive formation was a bit unexpected.

"What? Qin Yan against Griffin?"

Not only the people in China were surprised, but also the audience at Staples abroad and even Griffin himself.

"Hehe, that's interesting. You guys underestimate me too much. Let a rookie defend me. Although he is strong, I won't lose to anyone in the air!" Griffin sneered inwardly. At this time, Paul Raising a hand to signal, Griffin suddenly accelerated and ran from the right 45 degrees to the basket.

How could Qin Yan let him go!He directly accelerated to chase back, but just after two steps, he felt like he had hit a wall!Suddenly the body stopped!
Turning around in surprise, it turned out that it was Jordan's pick-and-roll. Duncan's slow speed came out, and the one who didn't come blocked Jordan's route.

But Qin Yan didn't have time to think about it now, so he quickly bypassed Jordan and chased Griffin, because at the moment he was blocked, Griffin was about to enter the no-man's land of the restricted area, and Paul's alley-oop shape was already gone. ready!

"Drink—" Griffin yelled loudly, and the whole person jumped first!Almost at the same time, Paul's pass came in!
"Don't even think about it!" Qin Yan was less than a second late and hadn't come to the most suitable position. This position may not be able to stop Griffin, but if he doesn't jump, there is no chance. Qin Yan can only Some jumped hastily.

Griffin caught the ball with one hand in the air, turned his body sideways and was about to slam dunk with a big windmill. Suddenly, he found a figure in front of him quickly rising and blocking himself and the basket!
How is it possible that this Chinese can catch up with me after jumping after me? !

Griffin was a little surprised, but out of instinct, he still smashed the ball down hard!

"It's not that simple!" A big yellow hand suddenly slapped the ball in front of it forcefully, and a strong force came from that hand!

"Interesting, how about strength?" Griffin's body is also at the BUG level, and at this time there is a forward inertial blessing. The force of this buckle is extraordinary. Even Qin Yan's strength is also very strong. Some can't bear it, and there is no way to stop the ball's forward trajectory.

The position is too bad. If it is head-on, the ball should be blocked.

Qin Yan could feel that he was at a disadvantage this time, and his body was about to fall, but Griffin's current momentum was not blocked, and his hand had already been bounced away by that force. There is no longer any obstruction between the ball in Griffin's hand and the basket!
"Hey, you lost." When he was about to fall, Griffin looked at Qin Yan proudly and said.

"Hmph, it might not happen next time." Qin Yan was a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He was indeed at a disadvantage in this shot, so there was no need to defend himself.

But, sometimes, the world is wonderful.

Because of Griffin's ball, he didn't dunk it.

"Bang-"

Hearing a loud noise, everyone looked up, only to see that this amazing dunk was finally dunked on the front edge of the basket, and it popped out of bounds forcefully!

How could this be?
Everyone in the Clippers was surprised, and Griffin was also surprised. This ball feels pretty good. How could it be like this?

Qin Yan was taken aback at first, but then he figured it out.

"Hahaha, Griffin's arm length is still too short. The ball was affected by Qin Yan's slap, which shortened his jumping distance, so the ball dunked to the front of the basket. , Hahahaha." Director Zhang in the live broadcast hall also understood, and laughed.

Qin Yan suddenly gained confidence, that's right, it's fine if you can't get in, you don't have to block the shot!

Hey, Clippers, air battle, right? I will accompany you to the end!
 Thank you for your great rewards and recommendations, and hope to have more collections, please continue to support!
