Chapter 319 Collapse (6000 words)
On the court, the Warriors sent a baseline ball. Since the Clippers scored a goal and had time to retreat, the Warriors could not play fast breaks, and Curry was not in a hurry, and slowly came to the frontcourt.

Against Curry was Paul. He greeted Curry with a solemn expression, keeping a step away from Curry, advancing to interfere with shots, and retreating to delay breakthroughs.

Naturally, Curry would not single out Paul, who is known for his defense, at the beginning of the game. He beckoned to the inside, and Chandler went up to the top of the arc to cover him, using his large body to firmly block Paul behind him.

Jordan faced the Curry-Chandler pick and roll, defended it, but didn't completely defend it.

When he reached the free throw line, he stopped to prevent Chandler's roll and Curry's breakthrough.

But Curry didn't mean to go inside the Clippers at all. After Chandler blocked Paul, he took a small step forward, pulled up and shot, and threw a three-pointer. The speed of the shot was extremely fast. Jordan Jr. Just stretching out his hand, the basketball flew over his head and bounced into the frame.

13: 2.

Pooh De Nagro's face darkened, but he didn't say anything, just quietly watching the game on the field.

He knows very well that the tactics he arranges will most likely not be able to restrain Curry, but he must keep Jordan on the inside to protect the frame. Le's old man, the Clippers' inside line will be completely blown up by the Warriors, and he must not take this risk.

Looking back, the Clippers attacked, Paul pressed the rhythm and dropped the ball, and distributed the ball to Caron Butler. The latter tried to single Butler, but under Butler's strict defense, he made a mid-range shot and hit the iron, and the rebound was protected by Green.

Both Jordan and Griffin can only jump, and their rebounding skills are poor. It is almost impossible to grab offensive rebounds in front of Chandler and Green. Chandler is a veteran, and Green is talented and proficient in everything. Defensive skills.

After grabbing the rebound, the Warriors immediately counterattacked, but the Clippers cheered up under the reprimand of the head coach, retreated in time, and did not give the Warriors a chance to break fast.

Just when Pooh Denagro, who was on the sidelines, saw that the Warriors were forced to fall to the ground, and his heart was relieved, the Warriors immediately turned to attack.

Curry handed the ball to Green, who was low on the right side of the penalty area, and then Chandler came outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Jordan did not follow. Curry used Chandler's cover to go around the right sideline. Getting an open opportunity, Green passed the ball in time. Curry did not make any adjustments after receiving the ball. Before his body turned completely in the air, he directly shot a three-pointer. The momentum was like lightning, and the basketball went into the net.

At 16:2, the Warriors extended their lead to 14 points.

Pooh DeNagello's face turned ashen. How could he not see that this was the Warriors' classic strong-side three-person cooperation last season, but Jordan, as a big center, couldn't be defended at all, and he couldn't use it. A lineup without a center, the substitute Kenyon. Martin is more unbearable than Jordan, which is an unsolvable problem for the Clippers.

Fortunately, Billups shot a cold arrow and hit a three-pointer to help the team stop the bleeding. The score came to 16:5, and Pooh DeNagello was relieved.

The round transition, the Warriors attack, Curry picks and rolls to find Jordan, but Jordan still can't defend, Curry pulls up and shoots, and then hits a three-pointer.

19: 5.

This huge point difference made the atmosphere in the Oracle Center even hotter, and it also made Pooh De Nagro feel more and more heavy.

He finally discovered that his "insight" into the Warriors' weaknesses seemed so ridiculous. The Warriors didn't need any training at all. Curry seemed to be able to defeat the Clippers alone...

But Pooh DeNagello, as an old-school coach, is like many old-school coaches who have been defeated by the Warriors. Shooting three-pointers with the ball is an offensive method beyond his cognition. He doesn't believe that Curry can keep shooting like this, so He insisted not to call a timeout, handed over the offensive autonomy to Paul, and did not make any changes on the defensive end.

He is waiting, waiting for Curry to be inaccurate, waiting for the Warriors to relax, and waiting for the Clippers to counterattack.

However, Pooh De Nagro's wish was doomed in the first quarter.

In the following period of the first quarter, Curry's touch was as hot as ever. He made 9 of 9 in a single quarter, 6 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. With 26 points, he completely blew up the Clippers with a pick-and-roll shot!
The Warriors can achieve such a big lead, in addition to Curry's fiery offensive state, their solid and fierce defense also played a big role.

Except that Chandler didn't switch defenses when Paul Jordan or Billups Jordan held the ball in a pick-and-roll, the Warriors resolutely switched defenses against the Clippers' other pick-and-roll combinations, forcing the Clippers players to end the offense with singles.

And this hit the Clippers' weakness hard.

As a four-back team, the pick-and-roll is almost every offensive round of the Clippers. This can maximize the Clippers' point guard's passing experience and the explosive athletic ability of Griffin and Jordan. Make a fuss on the connection between positions 1-5, attacking the Warriors' inside line.

However, the Warriors dismantled every pick-and-roll of the Clippers into singles through unlimited defense changes. Griffin was inaccurate in shooting and could only rely on his body to force the basket. The offense eventually turned into singles by outside players and shooting penalties for Chandler's unguarded shots.

These are not the strengths of Paul and Billups. Of course they have the ability to play singles, but what they are best at is organizing offense through passing and scheduling rhythm. The only player who is good at singles is Caron Butler. Jimmy Butler was firmly restrained, and he played two singles in a row, both of which ended in barely shot irons, allowing Pooh DeNagro to directly deprive him of his singles authority.

Paul and Billups' shots are quite accurate, but their scoring output is limited. They jointly scored nearly 20 points in the second half of the first quarter, which is already doing their best.

During the intermission, the Warriors fans were extremely excited because of Curry's crazy scoring. Pooh DeNagello felt upset amidst the drumming noise all over the sky. After taking a few deep breaths, he barely controlled his emotions and took up tactics Board, laid out:

"Curry is off in the second quarter. The Warriors' substitutes are all rookies and have no fighting power. We must seize this good opportunity to narrow the gap! You don't have to worry about Curry coming back. His performance is definitely not good. It cannot be maintained, and Curry is so obsessed with personal scoring, it just shows that the Warriors' tactics cannot be played..."

He said words that he didn't even believe in, trying to inspire the fighting spirit of his players, but in the face of Curry's god-like performance, this kind of rhetoric seemed so weak, the Clippers players just looked at him in silence , no one responded.

Pooh DeNagello was talking, and found that the atmosphere on the Clippers bench was still very quiet, so he also stopped slowly.

At this time, Paul said:

"Guys, after these few minutes, I will take a break and I will be back. This is the Christmas game, and we will definitely win this game!"

After listening to Paul's words, everyone showed a certain vitality. Compared with Pooh De Nagro, who had guaranteed that the game would be easily won before the game and proved that his judgment was wrong, they believed in the calm Paul.

Soon, the intermission was over, and the two sides sent out a rotation lineup. The Clippers were Billups, Mo Williams, Brian Cook, and Ryan Gomez who went to rest in the middle of the first quarter. With Randy Foye, Zhang Yu replaced Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian, Leonard, Tony Allen and Whiteside.

Among them, except for Tony Allen who replaced Clayden in the second half of the first quarter, everyone else played for the first time in this game, and Zhang Yu went straight up and down.

Seeing this, Pooh DeNagello was overjoyed, called back Billups who was on the field, and said to him:

"Chauncey, try to hit the ball into the Warriors' penalty area. They actually got four rookies. This is simply not paying attention to us and teaching them a lesson!"

Billups nodded and returned to the court. At the whistle at the beginning of the second quarter, he took the baseline ball from Ryan Gomez and dribbled the ball across the half.

The Clippers still started from the pick-and-roll, Brian Cook covered Billups, blocked Jeremy Lin behind, and Whiteside squatted inside.

There was an opening in front of Billups, but he hesitated, and instead of shooting himself, he lobbed the ball to Brian Cook.

In the first quarter, Billups made 4 of 1 three-pointers and felt very bad. He lacked confidence in his shooting and wanted Brian Cook to attack Whiteside first.

Brian Cook is a very mediocre role player, but he has been in the league for nine years, and he is also experienced. He is only 2 meters tall, but because of the Clippers' deformed lineup and too many guards, he can barely top The upper center position.

After he received the ball, he didn't hesitate because of the huge height difference. He rushed straight to the Warriors' penalty area and leaned hard on Whiteside. Whiteside, who was still slightly thin, took a step back, and Brian Cook stood up. , about to dunk.

As a veteran, he is still very confident in handling a second-round pick like Whiteside.

Snapped!
Whiteside immediately extinguished Brian Cook's confidence with a big hat. His strength is not as good as that of an old fritter like Blake Cook, but he is tall and long. After such a long period of systematic training, he has great strength It is easy to deal with the short and old Brian Cook.

After successfully blocking the shot, he immediately passed to Jeremy Lin, and then buried himself in the frontcourt. The other Warriors players followed the fast break moves they had practiced countless times, and quickly flocked to the Clippers frontcourt.

The Clippers' backup defense was more chaotic than the starter's. Tony Allen, who was charging forward, was followed by two people, and Leonard, who was one step behind, was left unattended.

After Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball across half court, he observed the Clippers' defense for a while, and immediately found the gap. He hit the ground and passed the ball to Leonard, which landed right in front of him. Leonard scooped the ball Get up, take advantage of the momentum, rush into the Clippers penalty area, and make a dunk.

39: 22.

The Clippers attack, Mo Williams singles Tony Allen, hits the iron in the mid-range shot, and the rebound is protected by Yi Jianlian.

Looking back, Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll, and Yi Jianlian went down and then received a pass from Jeremy Lin for a dunk.

41: 22.

The round changed, and Mo Williams singled Tony Allen again and made a three-pointer.

41: 25.

The Warriors immediately responded. Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll, and Leonard and Tony Allen on the weak side crossed the screen. The Clippers' defensive communication was chaotic. Both defenders chased Tony Allen, who was cutting inside. Jeremy Lin scored The ball was given to Leonard who was emptied. The latter took aim, made an open three-pointer and made a steady hit.

44: 25.

The Clippers attacked. Randy Foye singled Leonard and was directly intercepted. Leonard hit a sub-zero fast break and easily dunked.

46: 25.

On the sidelines, Pooh De Nagro watched the score being expanded step by step, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, until he returned to the livid and gloomy in the first quarter.

He didn't expect that the Warriors would be able to play well in the transition period, and the offense and defense were orderly. In contrast, the Clippers, except for simple pick-and-rolls, were brainless singles, with random offense, chaotic defense, and no coordination. to speak of.

The most painful thing is that he is still helpless, preventing Mo Williams and Randy Foye from playing singles, and he can't come up with better tactics, not to mention the defensive system. There is no way to line up troops, but he has no one else to use except the guard.

At this moment, he felt a lot of resentment towards Neil Owsley. Didn't you say you want to compete for the championship?You gave me this lineup?If I don't get these guards away, it will be difficult to even make it to the playoffs!
But no matter how dissatisfied, he still had to rely on his guards to win the game. Pooh DeNagello had no choice but to call a timeout, poured some chicken soup, and let the substitutes return to the court to continue to suffer from the rookies of the Warriors.

After the first half of the second quarter, the Warriors widened the point difference to 25 points, leading the Clippers 57:32.

Pooh De Nagro was completely desperate. The strength of the rotations of the two teams was not at the same level.

The Clippers played chaotically, and Jeremy Lin on the opposite side was able to make breakthroughs; Yi Jianlian could shoot three-pointers when he retreated, and he could eat cakes when he advanced; Needless to say, Tony Allen's defense made Mo Williams 5 1 shot; Leonard only hit a fixed-point open three-pointer on the offensive end, but the defensive end staged a death entanglement on Randy Foye, making him completely invisible; After that, he blocked the Warriors' penalty area very well, making it impossible for the Clippers to hit the basket at all.

After the two teams started back on the court, the situation facing the Clippers not only did not improve, but worsened further.

Curry's three-pointer with the ball after the pick-and-roll is as sharp as the first quarter, and Pooh DeNagello can't do anything about it. He doesn't have the option of removing the center at all, and he can't let Jordan expand to three. Outside the point line, hand over the Clippers' penalty area to Griffin to guard - that is no different from being undefended. How violent Griffin's offense is now, the defense is as colander.

So, he could only watch as Curry made three three-pointers in a row, opening the point difference to more than 30 points.

Under this desperate gap, the Clippers players quickly lost their fighting spirit. Paul was the only one who was still struggling to support with accurate mid-range shots, but it was of no help to the overall situation of the Clippers.

At the end of the half, the Warriors led the Clippers by a full 75 points 47:28, completely killing the game.

During the halftime break, there was dead silence in the Clippers locker room. Pooh DeNagello was in no mood to pour chicken soup on the players, and ended the tactical arrangement hastily. Only Paul said a few words, trying to encourage the fighting spirit of his teammates. But it was of no use.

No one could see the hope of winning. Facing the Warriors' offense, they felt a strong sense of powerlessness. As long as Curry raised his hand and looked at the frame after covering with a single block, it was enough to make them feel desperate.

And when it was their turn to challenge the Warriors' defense, the Warriors' defense was impenetrable, making every Clippers player feel as if he had fallen into a tight net, and seemed to have hit a hard iron wall. Every goal scored, every point scored has been extraordinarily difficult.

In an uncomfortable silence, the halftime time finally passed, and the Clippers returned to the court. They had lost the vitality they had at the beginning of the game. Lost all smiles.

However, fortunately for the Clippers players, they no longer have to suffer from Curry's three-pointer.

For some reason, the Warriors changed their tactics. Curry, who scored 34 points in the first half, ran without the ball, and the short power forward who was born at the end of the first round began to dominate the Warriors' possession of the ball.

But they soon discover that this is not the end of the torture, but the beginning of another, more excruciating one.

When Green held the ball at the top of the arc and dealt cards, everyone else in the Warriors began to move continuously. Curry and Klay were like two swimming fish, cruising and shuttling among the Clippers' defense. Chandler and Butler gave They set up screens, and the two also cross-screened each other. The Clippers' already chaotic and weak defense was quickly torn apart by the unpredictable off-ball running of the two.

But no matter how chaotic the defense is, the Clippers players also know that they can't let go of Curry who just shot through them with a three-pointer, and put all the defensive attention on Curry.

So, Clay shot crazy in the third quarter.

He used Curry's involvement, with the help of his teammates' cover, and through smart running, he got a lot of open opportunities. He made 10 of 7 shots in a single quarter, 7 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 19 points. Curry complements each other.

Moreover, when Clay scored, the Warriors still maintained an extremely solid defense, and used continuous defensive counterattacks to deal heavy blows to the Clippers. Their psychological defense was finally completely defeated, and they lost all fighting spirit. Like a walking dead, both offensive and defensive ends are muddled, completely reduced to the background board of the Warriors' counter-dunk dunks and fast-break three-pointers, causing the Warriors fans on the scene to set off a wave of loud and loud noises.

After the third quarter, the Warriors scored more than 105 points and led the Clippers by 74 points with 31:[-]. They also broke the mentality of the Clippers players, and the game completely lost suspense.

When the players from both sides walked back to the bench, Pooh De Nagro took a deep look at Zhang Yu, and there was no trace of contempt in his eyes.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that all his judgments about the Warriors were wrong. What Zhang Yu said to the reporters was all the truth. A team that is full of impact and strong execution, and has built a mature tactical system.

Pooh DeNagello is very clear about how terrifying such a team is, but he is still very puzzled. How did the Warriors get to this point in such a short period of time?
Did the Warriors' training camp really have such a good effect?

This unscientific……

Pooh De Nagro fell into endless confusion.

But these have nothing to do with tonight's game. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors sent all the substitutes to play the last quarter.

The Clippers players had no intention of chasing points, and the point difference remained at about 30 points. After about 8 minutes, Zhang Yu replaced the third team led by Isaiah Thomas, announcing that the game had entered garbage time, which was also training time for the Warriors.

Faced with this "humiliating" substitution, Pooh De Nagro didn't intend to take the opportunity to chase points, and also sent the third team to concede the loss.

The state of the Clippers team and the huge point difference like a gap have made it impossible for him to make any adjustments.

In the rest of the fourth quarter, the Clippers could only sit silently on the bench, watching the Warriors' third team composed of Thomas, Danny Green, Anthony Toliver, Whiteside and Parsons, and their Like the previous teammates, he used orderly tactics on both ends of the offense and defense to rampage the Clippers' third team.

Pooh DeNagro looked at the Clippers players who were just as casual as those who participated in the summer league, and then looked at the Warriors' end rotation, which strictly implemented the same tactics as the starting lineup and rotation lineup, and was completely silent.

He silently watched the one-sided carnage on the court until the end of the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Clippers by 132 points 97:35. With a hearty victory, the Warriors fans who came to the Oracle Center to watch the game gave the most wonderful Christmas gift.

After the red light came on, all the fans stood up collectively, and the continuous applause, shouts, screams and whistles flooded the Oracle Center like a tide, which lasted for 10 minutes.

In the corner where no one was paying attention, the Clippers walked into the player tunnel and left the court silently, while the Warriors spontaneously waved to the audience, thanking the fans for their support, and then left the field after a long time.

After the whole game, no, after three quarters, Curry only played 27 minutes, made 17 of 12 shots, 12 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, understatement, scored 36 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals 0 turnovers, led the team to win.

Clay's performance was mainly concentrated in the third quarter. He made 15 of 9 shots, 11 of 7 three-pointers, and no free throws. He scored 25 points, 1 assist, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. He continued Curry's firepower. The two scored 61 points together. , is the biggest sufferer of the Clippers.

除此之外，勇士还有5人得分上双，巴特勒15分5篮板2抢断，格林10分7助攻6篮板2抢断2封盖，钱德勒10分13篮板3封盖，林书豪11分4助攻，易建联11分5篮板，多点开花，让快船的防守根本无法招架。

Of course, the suffocating defense that Tony Allen and Leonard each contributed 3 steals is also very critical. Together with Green and Chandler, they built a solid defense line cast in copper and iron, laying a solid foundation for the Warriors' defensive counterattack .

As for the Clippers, only Paul's 26 points and 12 assists and Griffin's 17 points and 11 rebounds are worth mentioning.
