Chapter 846 Attack vs. Attack, Amazing Changes

Losing G1 is also the first time the Clippers have lost the opening game of the series since entering the playoffs in the 11-12 season.

James seemed extremely excited in an interview after the game. He could hardly control his emotions: "We are focused, we are strong, and we are winners..."

Balabala made a big push, but fortunately, this is the plane of basketball. If it is a plane where people keep dying like in American dramas, a chatter like James can hardly survive three episodes.

Ruan Erniu was still very calm after the game. He said: "We didn't do well on both ends of the offense and defense. Losing is not terrible. We need to sum up, especially after losing G1."

The calmness of the bull is just the posture when facing the media. After closing the door of the locker room, he immediately revealed the brutal attributes that the team leader should have:
"Are you bastards here to play? This shit is the finals, not a party in your backyard! If anyone doesn't want to play, he can enter the injured list ahead of schedule for the next game!
If you can't make an open shot, do XX dare not vote?This is the finals, there is no damn time for you to hesitate, every time you make a shot, you must be decisive enough, and when the opportunity arises, you must resolutely shoot!

And your defense is shit!
DeAndre, I'm not surprised that you were blown up by Bosh, but you can't even handle Haslem?

The Heat have only 7 offensive rebounds, but Haslem alone took four of them on your head! "

Little Jordan didn't dare to speak, and bowed his head obediently to be scolded.

This is a rare behavior of the Barbarian to criticize his teammates roughly. He usually chooses to lead by example, but in tonight's game, the Clippers really did too badly on the defensive end.

Especially under the defense of Erniu, LeBron James, who averaged 30.3 points per game in the playoffs, only scored 25 points, while D. Wade and Bosh scored 32 points and 21 points respectively.

Especially Bosh on the bench, in fact, he is just a pseudo-sub.

Bosh played 1 minutes in G34, and most of the time he played the role of a center who stretched the inside.

If D. Wade's outstanding performance is because the Clippers lack top-level defenders at the 2nd position, Bosh can do whatever he wants at the 5th position. It is entirely because Jordan, Martin, and Yi Jianlian did not try their best on the defensive end .

At this point, Jordan has to bear the greatest responsibility, and it is reasonable to be named and criticized by Er Niu.

Uncle Huang's defense has been trained by Er Niu for a season, and it is indeed not what it used to be. However, his habit of staying in the penalty area and not wanting to save in the past few seasons is still somewhat left over.

However, objectively speaking, even if Jordan throws out, he may not be able to defend against Bosh. After all, Bosh's fake moves can only swing Jordan away in the palm of his hand.

You hate people, but Er Niu didn't lose his mind at all. He attacked Jordan, but his real purpose was to beat Chris Paul.

Yes, if it weren't for Paul's embarrassing performance of 13 of 4 shots tonight, the Clippers would never lose tonight.

There is no problem with CP3's IQ, and he instantly understood what Er Niu meant.

Speaking of which, Kraft Nguyen is undoubtedly the most depressing guy in the game. In terms of statistics, he undisputedly beat James, but the Clippers were still unable to withstand the impact of the Heat's Big Three in the end.

Paul didn't play, which is equivalent to Er Niu fighting against the Big Three alone.

This play should be called San Ying Zhan Lu Bu. According to the rhythm of the novel, the result is that Feng Xian was defeated by the three of them.

I lost my temper just to arouse the bloodiness of my teammates, but if I want to really win, I still need the coaching staff to formulate the next strategy.

Er Niu quickly convened his teaching assistant team and began to analyze G2.

Thibodeau said: "I still insist on putting more effort on the defensive end. Our offensive problem is not as serious as imagined. The only reason why we can't win after scoring hundreds of points is that there are too few restrictions on the opponent! "

Tyronn Lue is also a supporter of this opinion. He said directly: "I suggest that JJ* Redick be replaced in the starting lineup, and Nick or Randy (Foye) be the starting second position to increase the defensive strength."

After the overall running-in of the Clippers, Yang Shaoxia's ability in personal defense has been proven.

The interaction between him and Harden in the last series gave the Clippers considerable confidence in his performance on the defensive end.

Facts have proved that Nick Young's personal single-defense ability is far less unsightly than the outside world said.

But putting Nick Young in the starting lineup will still affect the normal rotation of the Clippers. After all, Yang Shaoxia is used as the sixth man in the Clippers.

At this time, Steve Kerr issued a different suggestion: "Is there really so much room for improvement on our defense? I mean, should we have more changes on the offensive end."

Ruan Erniu suddenly became interested, and asked with a smile: "Steve, tell me more about it."

Cole squinted and smiled: "It's very simple. I suggest increasing Yi's playing time, especially when playing against Bosh."

The defensive attitude can be motivating, but the improvement of defensive ability cannot be completed overnight.However, Cole's suggestion gave the Clippers another way of thinking.

Thibodeau obviously doesn't trust Yi Jianlian.

In fact, the first assistant coach in charge of on-the-spot command gave Yi Jianlian less and less playing time in the playoffs.

从首轮系列赛的10-15分钟出场时间，到了次轮就只剩5-10分钟，进入西决基本就稳定在场均5分钟左右了。

The reason is too simple, that is, Allen's defense still lacks strength when it encounters the gangsters in the NBA, and his long-range shooting ability has not reached the point where people can rely on it.

But when it came to the Finals, when the Clippers faced Bosh and Haslem in the paint, it seemed like it might be an option to replace Allen.

Needless to say Haslem, the offensive end is all about picking up leaks. The captain of the Heat’s mid-range shot basically has no accurate verification in the finals against the tragic finals. As for Bosh, it’s not necessarily better to use Jordan than to use Yi Jianlian. .

After all, Allen has the range, and Jordan, who was watched by Bosh in the paint, can basically rely on two bulls and three cannons to come to the door and feed the cake-style pass to get a chance to score points.

Still the same sentence, any team that aspires to win the championship should have the attribute of offensive and defensive balance!
This internal meeting held on the second day of G1 is destined not to appear in the official basketball history, but it played a decisive role in the ownership of the 11-12 season championship.

After that, Er Niu asked Allen to have a meal, and during the meeting, he stated the unanimous decision of the Clippers coaching staff, or in other words, Ruan Er Niu himself made the final decision.

"Are you ready?" Er Niu said with his arm around Allen's shoulder.

"Should I say 'always ready' at this time?" Allen asked with a smile.

Ruan Erniu nodded and said: "Well, that's right. With this mentality, Bosh has nothing to fear. Keep in mind that you are no worse than anyone else, but you just lack a chance to show your strength."

To be honest, Er Niu thinks that the reason why Alian has had difficulty gaining a foothold in the NBA in the past few years is the ups and downs of his mentality.

As a top ten pick in the draft, although his starting point is not as good as Dayao and Er Niu, it must not be considered low.

It is true that the management of the Kings is chaotic, but in Allen's rookie season, he really did not give him less opportunities. Even after Marvin Williams was traded, the Kings once gave Allen a chance to play at the same time, but he Still not sure.

Although there were many problems such as injuries, discrimination, and language, the most critical thing was that Yi Jianlian failed to maintain his sense of normalcy.

Both Dayao and Erniu can find enjoyment in the game, but Alian seems to be always completing a task mechanically. This is the biggest gap between him and Ruan and Yao.

There are also many inside players with range but lack of defense. Ryan Anderson has found the right system and can get MIP (Most Improved Player).

Time and life.

Allen once again stood at the crossroads of fate, this time he will face unprecedented pressure, perhaps, this is also his last chance in the NBA.

The G2 game will be held two days after the G1. On June 6, US time, it will still be at the Staples Center, where the two sides will compete for the second game of the finals.

The starters of the two sides still haven't changed in this game. Bosh's current state can serve as the starter, but the winner doesn't need to change, so Spoelstra still insists on putting him on the bench.

The Clippers' starting position has also not changed in any way. Before the game, many media predicted that JJ* Redick would be taken off the starting position, but looking up, he is still the Clippers' unshakable starting second position.

After repeated weighing, Er Niu still believes that Redick's three-pointer can well contain the Clippers' defensive attention. More importantly, for D. Wade, whose athletic state has declined, Er Niu is willing to bet whether he can Two consecutive explosive performances.

In the jump ball session, Jordan once again easily beat Haslem.

Kawhi took the basketball and handed it to Paul, who pushed the ball forward.

Then facing Chalmers' defense is an unreasonable emergency stop.

"brush!"

Well, this is really un-Paul, but the goal is scored!

Paul's advantage lies in his stability, and his disadvantage also lies in his stability, but it may be a good thing to have Ruan Erniu and Jr. grabbing offensive rebounds inside and outside players to play a little bit.

After the failure of G1, the Clippers also held a sigh of relief in their hearts. They ranked first in the regular season and passed all the way in the playoffs. They also did not come to the finals to play.

After playing to this point, who doesn't want to win the championship?
Three points, three points, three points!

After Paul voted, Redick voted; after Redick voted, Leonard voted; after Leonard voted, Ruan Erniu voted!
The more determined, the easier it is to score goals, especially when Ruan Erniu and Jr. Jordan teamed up to score 7 offensive rebounds in the first quarter.

It has to be said that the Clippers have too much advantage in rebounding. Seven offensive rebounds in a single quarter are equivalent to seven more second-attack opportunities. The number of offensive rebounds.

Another point that needs to be pointed out is that although the Heat won the ball in G1, they are far behind the Clippers in terms of rebound statistics for the whole game.

The difference between the two teams was 15 rebounds, and the Heat were able to win in the end, relying on more efficient offensive and defensive transitions and three-point shooting.

However, in the first quarter of G2, the situation obviously changed.

There was a wave of three-point rain for no reason. The Clippers led their opponents by 27 points at 42:15 in the first quarter. They made 12 three-pointers in this quarter and scored 9 of them.

This efficiency is simply too terrifying, even if Spoelstra called two timeouts and replaced Bosh in advance, it did not have any interrupting effect.

Also in the first quarter, the Heat had just replaced Bosh, and Yi Jianlian also replaced Jordan at the same time.

Allen played quite efficiently in the rotation time of the first quarter. He scored a total of 5 points with a long three-point shot and an air cut to the basket. However, Bosh only made 3 of 1 shots and scored only 2 points.

In the second quarter, the two sides played very anxiously, and Allen did not fall into the bottom line at all in the matchup with Bosh.

In the final analysis, there is no way for Allen to be forced when he encounters a black and hard inside line, but when facing an inside line like Bosh who relies on skill to win, Allen's defense is not as bad as some people imagine.

What's more, at this time, Bosh has just recovered from his injury, and he is far from reaching his peak state.

Of course, the protagonists on the court still belong to Er Niu and James, and their mutual scoring is still the highlight of the second quarter.

Er Niu lived up to expectations and exploded James again. In the direct confrontation between the two, James' dislocation advantage in the low post in the past few games has declined infinitely, and he can only rely on forced face-to-basket breakthroughs and long-range shots to score points.

It is impossible for a superstar to completely lock up, but the two bulls limit James' performance to the greatest extent. When the Heat's most stable scoring point is in trouble, they have to rely more on the other two giants to solve the trouble .

But tonight Bosh was entangled by Allen, and D. Wade's performance was far worse than in G1. In other words, the Clippers' defense strategy played a miraculous effect.

That's right, if Allen's staring at Bosh is the biggest change for the Clippers, then JJ* Redick and Kawhi switched positions, and Kawhi went to defend D. Wade, and Redick went to defend Caron * Bart Le, is undoubtedly another major change for the Clippers.

This also requires paying a high price, otherwise Butler would not forcefully face Redick's defense in the first quarter and score two three-pointers.

It's a pity that Butler's touch didn't last in the second quarter, and on the other hand, D. Wade was very uncomfortable with Kawaii's long-armed monster's death-wrapped defense against him.

In the second half of the second quarter, Kawhi gave two big hats to the cheeks in a row on the defensive end, giving the Miami people who are like spring all the year round the coldest response.

At 25:35, the Clippers continued to maintain their efficient performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

At the end of the half game, 52:77, the Clippers led their opponents by an astonishing 25 points!
　Hehe, some book friends said that they didn't know what the purpose of writing Alian was. I can finally announce it, just to keep Bosh.
