Chapter 814 Gossip Misplaced Humility

"Dear viewers, it's the intermission time again, and since some viewers have just turned on the TV or the Internet, I'll rebroadcast it here.

I'm Charles Backus, Chris Webb is on my left and Kenny Smith is on my right.

Well, everyone knows that I'm killing time, but what I want to say is that I am extremely disappointed by the Heat's performance. "

In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley said so.

His good partner Kenny Smith immediately answered in a tacit understanding: "Why do you say that?"

Barkley said: "When you watch James show off his ass in front of Kraft Nguyen in the first half of the first quarter, I have an urge to close my eyes in the dark."

Chris Webber on the side interjected: "I thought you wanted to join the Heat directly and replace LeBron!"

"That's right, James' post-up attack, judging from the previous regular season games, has improved a little bit.

He did try to do more damage with his back in the low post, but once his opponent becomes a Chinese player... Actually, I think C-Webb's (nickname Weber) idea may be realized. "

Just as Barkley finished speaking, Kenny Smith immediately hit him: "Hey, Charles, so you finally made up your mind to get a championship ring by hugging your thighs?"

People with rings are such a nuisance!
Barkley was secretly unhappy, and then joked: "Then I might as well join the Clippers. Judging from the first quarter, LAC has a better chance of winning the championship."

Chris Webber returned to the topic and said: "The changes in the Clippers are obvious. They are not a team at all from last season, but Miami has also changed a lot. Do you think Bosh moved outside and James played more How about approaching power forward?"

Barkley curled his lips and said: "The standard small ball play, or the Miami people want to copy the Atlanta Hawks in the past few years, but I am not optimistic about all of this, because James is still not a low-post killer like Kraft Nguyen .”

Kenny Smith broke the stage again: "But now nearly 1/3 of Kraft Nguyen's shots are outside the 3-point line, and this season's three-point shooting rate is as high as 45%."

Barkley said bitterly: "This is why I hate the current league. Even a big ass like Kraft publicly proposed to shoot three-pointers inside. What else can I say?"

This time it was Chris Webber's turn to dismantle the situation. While looking up the information, he smiled and said: "But Charles, in your first season with the Rockets, you also averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game, but the shooting percentage was only 28.3." %, so it should be said that you don’t hate shooting three-pointers, but that you can’t make them yourself, and you don’t want others to make them!”

Barkley was not in a hurry either. After rummaging through the screen for a while, he smiled and countered: "So a guy who only made 29.9% of his three-pointers in his career has the right to judge other people's three-pointers as bad?"

That's right, although some things are hidden in the fog of history, it is still shocking to dig through them carefully.

Although known as "the most gorgeous power forward in history", Webber's long-range shooting ability is really not top-notch for most of his career.

In this regard, Hitler, oh, no, it should be Rick Adelman who must pay a certain amount of responsibility. It is said that after Weber went from the Washington Bullet to the Sacramento Kings, he really forgot what a three-pointer is.

Of course, it was the league's ethos at that time that superstars didn't shoot three-pointers, and they might respond. Webber, who was once able to shoot long-range shots, really chose the wrong path.

Let a power forward who averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game and hit 44.1% in the third season of his career completely give up long-range shooting. From this perspective, Adelman's offensive training ability may be overrated. Estimated.

Well, TNT's commentators have always liked to tear each other down and attack each other. For American fans, facing those boring games, listening to this group of bragging is also a good pastime choice.

The line of sight turned back to the court, the intermission period ended, and the game officially entered the second quarter.

D. Wade and Chris Bosh were both on the court for the Heat, and Paul, who had an early break in the first quarter, also started the game in the second quarter.

It is conceivable that whether it is the Big Three of the Heat or the two of the Clippers picking up girls, their playing time in this game will almost certainly exceed 40+.

This is the fate of Chaoju. When it comes time to fight the bayonet, who cares whether you need to rest or not.

On the offensive end of the Heat, D. Wade made an assault with the ball, and Battier was responsible for defending him.

This is also the established strategy of the Los Angeles people. During the rotation time, they would rather let Chauncey Billups face Caron Butler at the third position than D. Wade directly play Billups with speed. Opportunity for Puiss.

Battier's defense is no problem, but D. Wade, who is in decline, still has the first step beyond ordinary people.

The Flash sank his center of gravity and cut in instantly. Allen, who was in charge of supplementary defense, rushed forward. Wade didn't slow down at all. While breaking through Allen's block, he picked the ball with a light fingertip and hit Reggie Evans and Yi Under Jianlian's defense, the ball was sent to the basket, and it also caused 2+1.

From the slow motion, the hands of Allen and the rebounding idiot almost completely covered D. Wade's shooting space, but for a super giant like Cheek, as long as there is a slight time difference, he can throw the ball.

D. Wade adjusted his breathing, made a steady hit and added a penalty, and the Heat began to chase points.

The Heat said something here, and the Clippers were not reconciled to showing weakness. After Allen and Battier missed the ball in a stalemate, Paul decided to come by himself.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, Allen and Reggie Evans went up to screen at the same time.

When doing a pick-and-roll with Allen, Paul usually chooses to pass the ball back to the high post, allowing Allen to open up the space and make a long shot; , or make short calls with idiots.

This time, Paul chose to attack the basket directly.

He used the cover of the two to go directly to the basket from the middle. The Clippers did not expect Battier to completely lock the cheeks, and the Heat did not expect backup point guard Norris Cole to get three shots.

The key still depends on how Haslem and Bosh are filled!
Bosh was transferred away by Allen and did not retreat!
Haslem is the only one inside.

Paul changed direction with a fake move, retreated with a tentative step, and feinted. When Haslem was tricked into flying, Paul threw the basketball in his hand from his armpit, which was also a light fingertip pick.

Unlike D. Wade who relies more on physical talent, Paul's offense must pay more attention to the reading and prediction of defense.

Off the court, Ruan Erniu waved the towel and led the Clippers to cheer for Paul's wonderful goal.

After the first 4 and a half minutes of confrontation, the Heat shortened the score gap to 4 points. On the surface, the score gap between the two sides was only reduced by 3 points, but this included too much scrambling and wits.

At the end of the rotation time, Er Niu and James returned to the field one after another, and the competition between the two sides in the second quarter entered a fierce state.

Heat coach Spoelstra has no intention of replacing the Big Three. Judging from the current form, it is not impossible to let Wade and Bosh play the entire second quarter.

On the Clippers side, the assistant coach on the sidelines-Tom Thibodeau made a surprisingly similar choice. He also did not replace Paul and made up his mind to let CP3 play the entire second quarter.

James, who returned to the court, almost disappeared in the second quarter of the game. The only time he took a shot was when he was just on the court, he was misplaced and met the defense of the second bull.

"suddenly!"

A three non-stick!

Then DeAndre Jordan, who was sitting at the basket, contributed the best emoticon package tonight-Uncle Huang's bewilderment.

He didn't seem to have thought that the rebound would come so easily. The basketball flew directly into his arms, but Jordan, who was stuck in a steady position, was caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.

After the Heat players retreated to the half court, Jordan could barely send the ball to Paul. Er Niu was so angry that he really wanted to kick his ass. Kawaii's excellent running position was in vain. If Er Niu got this rebound, Inevitably another long touchdown pass across the court.

In a sense, the current Clippers are a bit like the Heat.Especially in terms of offensive and defensive transitions, Kraft Nguyen or James who got a rebound can launch a counterattack or pass the ball immediately.

The difference is that James is better at organizing, while Ruan Erniu is more focused on scoring points directly.

This season, Erniu and James are both shifting to the fourth position.

Ruan Erniu was forced to develop to the fourth position because of Jordan's existence. In fact, when Jordan was off the court, Kraft Ruan was still the team's fifth position.

James is taking the initiative to change. He is called the third position. In fact, he appears more in the low position, serving as the fourth position, or even the fifth position.

After the baptism of the last few regular season games, A KING also discovered the beauty of playing the fourth position in a misplaced position.

Why did Kraft Nguyen resolutely serve as the fifth position of the Eagles when he was not favored by others?
After all, the advantage of dislocation is not just a simple height comparison.

When Kraft Nguyen or James appear in the fifth or fourth position, even though their opponents are huge, their speed is obviously not comparable to Er Niu or LBJ.

Therefore, Ruan and Zhan can almost take advantage of their speed in front of their opponents and do whatever they want.

On the defensive end, although they consume more due to confrontation, it must be admitted that this has a decisive effect on the team's offensive and defensive conversion rate.

The moment Ruan and Zhan grabbed the rebound, the counterattack had officially started.Taking down the rebound and thinking about things for a long time like Jordan did will not easily appear on the two of them.

The game is gradually coming to an end in the second quarter. James is invisible in this quarter, and Er Niu has no intention of relaxing.

He first hit 2 consecutive long-range shots from beyond the three-point line, and then beat James under the basket to complete a dunk layup. Within a few rounds, he once again helped the home team widen the gap.

At 45:55, the Clippers led by 10 points at halftime. Ruan Erniu scored 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists alone. He was the most outstanding player of the two teams. Paul made 8 of 5 shots and made 4 free throws in the half. In 4, scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, also remarkable.

For the Heat, James scored 10 points at halftime, Wade scored 11 points, and Bosh scored only 7 points.

It has to be said that Bosh is the Heat player who has sacrificed the most this season, and his scoring and rebounding will have a greater decline, especially after James actually occupies his position.

Because this means that on the offensive end, the former Dragon King will become a high-post shooter like Yi Jianlian; on the defensive end, he will often go to the 5th position to top those heavy centers.

This is undoubtedly the most painful thing for Bosh. He has never been a superstar known for physical confrontation.

The agreed Big Three are not separated from each other?
Bosh, who has already boarded the pirate ship, will never come down again!

As a representative of the Clippers, Paul accepted an interview with Craig Sager during the home break.

Tonight, the floral suit had put on a shiny coat again, so that before he could even open his mouth, Paul couldn't help teasing: "Craig, your dressing taste is beyond comprehension."

"Do you think it's not good?" Sager asked back with a smile. Anyway, the result will not change. In terms of wearing fancy suits, he has always accepted it with humility and is determined not to change it.

"As you like, but it's really too dazzling!" Paul said helplessly.

Sager didn't continue to waste time, but immediately asked: "Chris, what do you think is the reason why you can lead tonight?"

Paul replied without hesitation: "Better defense, we did better than the Heat on the defensive end, and the Big Three played uncomfortable. This is our greatest success."

Sager asked again: "You only rested for 3 minutes in the first half, and you played the most minutes among all the players on the field. Do you think this will affect your game in the second half?"

Paul smiled: "No, I am eager to play, especially when I am against an opponent like the Heat, the game makes me very excited!"

"The last question, do you think you will meet the Heat in the Finals this season?"

Paul showed his charming smile again, showing his big white teeth and said: "Why not? We have the strength!"

When Sanpao finished saying this, he was taken aback.

So far, he has not broken through the second round of the playoffs. That is to say, he has not even touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, but now he is brazenly saying that he will meet the Heat in the finals. This is definitely not Paul before. able to say the words.

There has been a popular saying in sports circles that when you have super strength, it is difficult to maintain humility.

This can also be applied to the current Paul. When your teammate is Kraft Nguyen, it is too difficult to maintain humility.

As long as there are people from the Celestial Dynasty, there are infinite possibilities for the game.

Paul finished the short interview and returned to the locker room, just in time to hear Ruan Erniu, as the team's head coach, arranging the policies and tactics for the second half.

"We don't want to make any changes. Don't slack on the defensive end, and play more aggressively on the offensive end. No matter who receives the basketball in the open space, we must make a resolute shot. DeAndre and I will be responsible for the rebound."

Speaking of this, Erniu said to Jordan: "They may hack and kill you at any time in the second half. If you fail to make consecutive free throws, I will replace you first, understand?"

Jordan muttered, "What if I get a free throw?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Then I dare say this game, this game, we will definitely not lose!"
