Chapter 775 [I don't like you, MVP is also a substitute]
The biggest stunt of NBA publicity is that Yang Rui once again led the team to the Western Conference Finals, continuing the record of never missing the division finals since entering the NBA.
President David Stern was interviewed by reporters. "I think Jerry Young is the best basketball coach in the world and one of my best friends. We would say hello when we meet in the playoffs and he'd say, 'David, I'm so sorry, I swept this series again. '. I would say: 'I don't like you.'"
After speaking, Stern laughed. He seemed to use this kind of joke to tell Yang Rui to save face and stop winning the championship.
Popovich did not give an interview before the game. He boosted the morale of the team and said: "Be tough and do your best. As long as the Clippers are eliminated, we will definitely win the championship."
On May 5, the first battle between the two sides started at the Staples Center.
When the players came out, in addition to the highlights of the players' wonderful goals, the big screen in the stadium also added the poisonous chicken soup that Yang Rui gave to people during the interview.
The reporter asked Yang Rui what he wanted to say to his opponent?
Yang Rui replied: "As long as you train hard every day, play with a correct attitude, play selfless team basketball, and play 100% of your strength, the final victory will definitely belong to the Clippers."
The female reporter was stunned.
Yang Rui added: "It's too cruel to say that. Let me replace the last sentence. As long as you do this, you will win the championship sooner or later." (How late is this? Ah, can you still catch up before retiring?)
Clippers starting: Paul, Danny Green, Korver, Griffin, Chandler.
Spurs starting: Parker, McGrady, Leonard, Diaw, Duncan.
Rookie Fournier had a terrible playoff performance, poor defense, and inaccurate shooting. Popovich didn't dare to use him.
Before the playoffs began, the Spurs waived Stephen Jackson.The Spurs' internal evaluation of Jackson is that "the team will not tolerate anyone who goes against the team's plan."
Jackson has been really depressing recently. During the season, he was also selected by the US "Forbes" magazine as "the top 10 high-paid and low-energy players in the NBA this season".
In fact, before the All-Star Game this year, Jackson stated that he did not want to continue to stay with the Spurs. He and Popovich had great differences in terms of ball rights. Although he was 35 years old, he was not willing to be an ordinary role player. Playing around, poor shot selection.
Jackson wanted to play in other teams, but the Spurs management didn't cut him in the mid-term. If the Spurs cut him earlier, he might play for other teams, but now he can only have a vacation.
The only good news for the Spurs is that McGrady was waived by the Hawks in the midterms.After joining the Spurs freely, he was in good shape, averaging 23 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3 assists.
McGrady is in a much better state than Yang Rui's previous life. He has always worked in the NBA and has never been in the bottom of the Chinese CBA team.
在NBA常规赛中，麦迪生涯场均19.6分5.6篮板4.4助攻1.2抢断。他在季后赛出战73场，场均25.2分6.3篮板5.5助攻1.2抢断。
Of course, the Spurs are obviously at a disadvantage compared to the Clippers with such a swingman depth.
The Clippers took the lead, Paul held the ball outside the three-point line, and patiently waited for his teammates to pull away.Chandler picked and rolled in the middle, and Griffin went to the bottom corner on the right.
Paul enticed Diaw to switch and pass the ball into the middle.Chandler made an empty cut and easily got the basketball with his height advantage. Parker couldn't guard against a big man, and Diaw was half a head shorter than Chandler.
Yang Rui aimed at the Spurs' lineup in the opening game. Popovich usually makes Diao start, because if he goes to Split, only Duncan can make a mid-range shot in the interior, and it is difficult to open up space.And in the second quarter, if Dior and Bonner played together, the defense would not be able to watch, and the penalty area could not be protected.
Don't want to watch the small and easy scoring in the penalty area, Duncan can only retreat to help defense.In the regular season, Chandler scored 10.5 points and 9.9 rebounds, scoring mainly on empty cuts and shots at the basket.
Yesterday, the Clippers practiced a routine, that is, Chandler cut to the basket and then scored the ball outside, and Griffin would wait in the right corner.When Chandler saw Duncan coming over, he didn't hesitate at all. He didn't watch anyone put the ball in the bottom corner, and Griffin took the ball and shot immediately.
The tactical training of professional players is an extremely boring process. They will keep doing one thing thousands of times. Only by practicing more routines can they develop a tacit understanding.
Griffin's three-point shooting rate is not high, only 27.3% in the regular season, but Yang Rui requires him to make at least one shot every game. As long as he dares to shoot, there is a possibility of becoming stronger. If he keeps avoiding shooting three-pointers, he will not make it. Progress, only more and more hesitant to get the ball from beyond the arc.
In his previous life, the coach did not train Griffin very well. He always let him play with talent and rush to the basket. Yang Rui firmly believed that Griffin could practice shooting well. In the 2017-18 season, he averaged 5 shots per game. At one point, he hit more than 40 percent from the three-point range, more than his previous career combined, when he was stronger.
The well-prepared Griffin has a good grasp of the touch, and the corner three is closer to the basket than other positions, making it easier to score the ball. 3 to 0.
Griffin smiled happily when returning to defense, and his confidence improved. As long as there is a good opportunity, he will definitely dare to shoot a three-pointer for the second time in this game.
The Spurs attacked, the Clippers defended man-to-man, and Paul defended Parker.
Duncan gave Parker a pick-and-roll from the side, who forcibly broke into the basket from the left, and the Clippers formation shrank.Man-to-man can also shrink the restricted area, and Chandler has this awareness.Paul chased from behind, and the two were double-teamed.
Parker separated the ball from the perimeter, McGrady hesitated to catch the ball, and did not shoot immediately, Korver blocked in front of him, and the opportunity was fleeting.
In the past, McGrady dared to pull up in the face of people taller than him. Now he bounces and his speed drops, and his pull-up jumper is no longer a stunt. He distributes the ball to Diao in the middle. Attack, protect the ball and then find teammates.
With 24 seconds to go, Parker broke through the throw, missed by Chandler's interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Griffin.
In the Clippers positional battle, Paul slowly moved to the frontcourt to protect the ball, waited for Chandler to cover, and made a breakthrough to the left.
Diao is currently about the same height and weight as James, but he has a lot of fat, and he doesn't move fast enough. People will never see Diao chasing the opponent's defender, or taking off the rebound, one-stop overtaking to break through the tomahawk and the opposite center.
He switched to Paul very hard and got stuck on the breakthrough route, but Paul still found an open space and passed the ball from Diao's side to the middle.
Chandler took the ball and took a step forward. Duncan made up the defense again and blocked Chandler away from the basket. Chandler again scored the ball to the right bottom corner. This time Leonard turned in time and pounced towards the bottom. horn.
Griffin scored the ball, Green received the ball at 70 degrees on the right, and Dio in the middle defended it, rotated in place, successfully interfered, the ball bounced out of the box, and Duncan protected the backcourt rebound.
The Spurs are a team with veterans as the core. They can't get up quickly, and the Clippers start the joint defense again, and they have no time to pass a few times.Chandler guarded the penalty area, and the other four circled quickly.
There was a dislocation after the pick-and-roll, and 24 seconds were used up. Duncan faced Paul with a jumper and hit it with slight interference. 3 to 2.
Paul did not lose his position, and Yang Rui gave him a few applause from the sidelines.
CCTV5 Zhang Lili said: "Curry won the MVP, but he still came off the bench today. This is a major feature of the Clippers, and it can be seen that their lineup is too strong."
Yu Jia said: "Yang Rui strengthened his defense in the first quarter. It is estimated that it is to consume the physical strength of the opponent's star. Duncan is 37 years old. It is difficult for him to guarantee a good performance throughout the game. It is right to seek stability."
