genius point guard

Chapter 597
The Clippers are still brewing a deal, and there have been rumors that they want to supplement the height of the second position, using Gordon as the main body of the deal to trade Caron Butler with the Wizards.In addition, there are even rumors that they are playing with Steve Nash's idea. They want to get Nash and gather the three major point guards in the land of Southern California.

If the three major point guards gather in Southern California, the league may not only focus on the Warriors and Lakers when promoting the Southern California Derby.At that time, whether it is the Los Angeles Derby or the Southern California Derby between the Clippers and the Warriors, it will attract people's attention.

"Even if you can't compete for the championship in one step, you must be able to get a share of the league's huge publicity resources." This is probably the strategic policy of the Clippers this season.Although their home court is in Staples, compared with the prosperity of the Lakers and Warriors, it is simply too much worse.

It can be seen that the Clippers really want to get out of the shadow of the Lakers and Warriors in the land of Southern California.

The Clippers attach great importance to this game against the Warriors. Their starting lineup is Billups, Gordon, Matt Barnes, Griffin and Jordan.

The height of the backcourt is a more important issue for the Clippers lineup, and there is one less support at the small forward position.But the combination of the inside twin towers makes it impossible for anyone to underestimate this team.

Even in the previous three seasons, Chen Mo's team won the championship mainly with a small lineup of fast-playing whirlwinds, but there are still some people who think that the insider wins the world.

"Elementary school students know that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage. Basketball is always the world of giants."

At the beginning of the game, the Clippers' offense focused on the inside.

Billups and Griffin sent a through ball after the pick-and-roll. Griffin used his strong explosive power to pass Millsap, who was a bit distracted, and forced a dunk.

Chen Mo shouted loudly: "Attack!"

It doesn't matter if the defense is not good, but the offense must be grasped.

Millsap was not embarrassed by his defensive mistakes because of his distracted mind. It seems to be a relatively normal thing to be distracted on the court.

Next, the Warriors began to attack, and Millsap immediately restrained his mind.

He immediately went over to pick and roll Chen Mo, and then went to the left to make an off-ball screen with Barnes.

Curry pierced through the basket, and he used his off-ball running to drive the Clippers' defense.

The Warriors' tactics are simple to say, but their implementation is ever-changing.

Although Chen Mo is the starting point of the offense, the running of others without the ball is very important.Either can be the finisher, but they can also all be the screeners who cover plays for their teammates.

Billups because Larry Brown was the first point guard to form a relationship with Chen Mo. At that time, he was assisting Anthony in the Nuggets. They reached the Western Conference Finals the year before. When everyone was full of hope for the Nuggets, that In the one-year playoffs, Billups was blown away by Deron Xiaopang.At this time, everyone realized that Chauncey was old.

Two years later, Billups' velocity has dropped even more.The accumulation of experience seems to have been unable to help him do more on the court.

Especially when facing the increasingly powerful Chen Mo, after being blocked by Millsap, it was extremely difficult for Billups to keep up with Chen Mo.Matt Barnes followed in Millsap's footsteps. Their previous defensive strategy was not to switch defenses.

With Billups behind him, Chen Mo didn't have any defensive players.Chen Mo didn't want to do some fancy coordination in this attack, he directly chose a mid-range pull-up jumper.

Easily sent the ball into the basket, he looked back and Billups stopped behind him.

Vinnie De Nagro shook his head silently on the sidelines. He felt that his team really needed to continue to strengthen at the point guard position. Billups' current state is more suitable to play as a substitute rather than a starting point guard.

The game continued, and the Clippers continued to make a fuss by taking advantage of their inside advantage.

But no matter how much advantage the Clippers gained in the interior, the Warriors remained unmoved.They are playing everything according to their own rhythm, and they must take the lead in playing their own offense well.

The Warriors' offense did encounter some problems in the opening stage. Barnes' running position was fine, and he did have opportunities under the cover of other teammates, but he didn't feel good today, but he desperately wanted to prove himself. As for the few opportunities wasted.

This time the Warriors did not call a timeout for adjustments, and Chen Mo made adjustments on the court himself.

He stepped up his personal offense.

In the last game against the Grizzlies, Memphis' backcourt combination was Mike Conley and Tony Allen. Tony Allen was a thorough defender. Some people commented that his offensive vision was so small that he only had the basket.And the Grizzlies' small forward is Rudy Gay, a guy who was rated as Tracy McGrady in the early days, and his physical fitness is evident.

It would be fine for Chen Mo to come by himself, but it would be too strenuous to play like that.

This game is different. Although the Clippers also have the height advantage of the inside twin towers, their outside defenders are Billups, Gordon and Matt Barnes.

Barnes isn't bad defensively, but he's far less athletic than Rudy Gay.What's more, the height of the double point guard combination of Gordon and Billups has no advantage at all against the backcourt combination of Chen Mo and Curry.

With such a combination, Chen Mo naturally showed his fangs.

Chen Mo swayed out of the space by swinging sideways. He and Billups staggered by a body gap. Even though Billups straightened his arms, he couldn't interfere with Chen Mo's shot.

Chen Mo easily sent the ball into the basket. After hitting a three-pointer, the score came to 11-19.

Gordon missed a three-pointer, but Jordan grabbed the rebound and made a tip-up. 11 to 21, the Warriors are still ten points behind.

Changing sides to fight again, Chen Mo handed the ball to Millsap after halftime.

Biedrins came out to screen for Chen Mo, but Chen Mo immediately ran to the right to screen for Curry.

Curry moved down, while Chen Mo made a V-shaped move and pulled to the outside.

One step just jumped out of the three-point line, and Barnes moved from the right bottom corner to the left 45 degrees.

The Warriors' entire off-the-ball system is very clear. After Millsap threw the ball to Chen Mo, he cut straight to the basket.

Chen Mo's position was empty, Jordan rushed out from the basket, and Chen Mo threw the ball in his hands calmly.

The ball was spinning in the air and flew towards the basket. Jordan felt that he should interfere with Chen Mo's shooting, but all his movements were within Chen Mo's predictions, so that all his movements seemed to Chen Mo to be empty .
