Chapter 734 [Three Shao performances, overall suppression]
Griffin passed the ball to Korver, who moved from the left bottom corner to 70 degrees. Ibaka followed and defended. Korver feinted and did not shoot, and passed the ball to move to the left. Low post, Guy with his back for the ball.
Gay received the ball with his back and topped Sefrosa, and turned to the Clippers in the middle to make a fallback jumper.
Sefrosa made an accurate judgment, jumped up to seal the eye, and the ball bounced out of the box. Westbrook grabbed the backcourt rebound.
No matter what the rhythm, Westbrook immediately launched a fast break and rushed forward at full speed.
Paul didn't lose his position, and followed him all the way to the backcourt. Durant and Ibaka also quickly got down. Westbrook didn't pass the ball. 8 to 4.
Westbrook's style of play and offense are often unreasonable, but he's a proven scramble master who can score.
The Clippers attacked, and the Thunder man-marking was no longer out of position. After passing a few times, he could only find a single-play opportunity in the wrong position.
When the defense is tight, heads-up is a good tactic.Clippers rely on Gay, Paul, Griffin trident, Thunder rely on Durant, Westbrook.
The Clippers have the upper hand. Griffin and Paul's pick-and-rolls made Perkins very uncomfortable. The Thunder lacked three-pointers on the outside to attract, and the second breakthrough would be double-teamed near the penalty area.
If Sefrosa can shoot a three-pointer, it will be a painful blow to the Clippers, but Sefrosa's offense is too poor, and two open shots from beyond the three-point line miss the basket.
In the second half, Brooks replaced Harden, and the offense immediately became much stronger.Yang Rui also replaced Korver and sent Tony Allen to entangle Harden.
Although the Clippers lost a three-pointer and their attack power decreased, their defense was much stronger. Tony Allen was the nemesis of a person like Harden. Can shoot at people.
In the first quarter, the Clippers led 26-20. The best performer was Griffin, who scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Tony Allen also scored 6 points.
The Thunder's side was completely the performance of the three little ones, Durant 9 points, Westbrook 8 points, Harden 3 points.
In the second quarter, the Clippers sent Curry, Tony Allen, Korver, Parsons, and Chandler.
The Thunder's five are Fisher, Harden, Daquin Cook, Durant, and Nick Collison.
In his rookie season, point guard Reggie Jackson played 46 regular-season games on behalf of the Thunder, averaging 11.1 minutes per game, only getting 3.1 points and 1.6 assists, shooting 32.1% from the field and 21% from three-point range.
It's not that Brooks doesn't want to train new players. Jackson, a rookie, is really not an immediate player. He has poor offensive options, poor shooting, and lacks organizational skills.In the midterms, the Thunder management signed Derek Fisher, who refused to report to the Blazers, so Jackson missed the 13-man playoff roster.
After joining, Fisher played 20 games for the Thunder in the regular season, averaging 20.4 minutes, 4.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 34.3% from the field and 31.4% from three-point range. It seems that he is not much better than Jackson.
After entering the playoffs, he performed a little better, playing 21.8 minutes, often playing the 2nd position, shooting 41.5% from the field, 37.5% from three-point shooting, and scored 6.2 points and 1.2 assists.
Because of the last round of the series, Fisher defeated the old club Lakers on behalf of the Thunder. In addition, Jeremy Lin's performance was sluggish, and a group of middle-aged patients raved about Fisher's "his role is not reflected in the data"!It's as if Fisher kept Jeremy Lin from getting the ball.
As a defensive loophole with no stats and no face value... In addition to being able to accompany Barnes's wife when former Lakers teammate Matt Barnes is not at home, what else can he do?
In this game against Curry, Fisher only played for 3 minutes before kneeling, completely kneeling.Curry made 4 of 3 three-pointers against him. A breakthrough was successful. The basket attracted supplementary defense, and the ball gave Chandler a follow-up dunk.
Tony Allen guarded Durant, Parsons followed Harden closely, and the Clippers defended well on the perimeter. The point difference quickly widened to 17 points, and Brooks was forced to call a timeout.
Zhang reasonably commented: "I remember that when Curry was in the Bucks, a magazine wrote that if Curry was replaced by Fisher and Ellis, the Bucks would become stronger, and it also opened the pitch. Three points, Fisher has more experience, better defense, and selfless possession of the ball. Looking at it now, the gap between the two is too big."
Yu Jia smiled and said: "I don't know which magazine it is, but it's probably closed? Facing Fisher's main defense, Curry can play whatever he wants. Fisher was sent away by the Lakers because of poor defense. "
After the timeout, the Thunder sent a double guard, Westbrook came on, and Cook came off, the purpose was to speed up the counterattack, Fisher continued to play, and the main defense was Tony Allen.
Yang Rui was also very straightforward, and immediately replaced Tony Allen with Danny Green, adding a three-point shooting point. Green moved fast, and the breakthrough of the defense frame was not bad, and he could interfere with shooting.
In the team, Green has been exchanging defensive skills with Tony Allen in the past two years, and he has learned a lot. The defensive end has improved more than joining the Spurs.In the team, he often singled out with Gay to hone his skills. Gay's style of play is somewhat similar to Durant's, but he has fewer breakthroughs and is not as accurate.
When attacking, no matter who faces Fisher on the outside, Yang Rui asks them to boldly throw three-pointers to catch the ball. It doesn't matter if they don't score.
Thunder man-to-man, Fisher switched to defending Green, Green moved to catch the ball and threw it, and soon hit two three-pointers at 70 degrees on the right side. Fisher is only 185cm tall and can't jump up this season. Well, there's no way to prevent it.
Brooks accepted the fact that Fisher was a colander, and let him go down and rest, and dare not change it again.
The Clippers still dare to play double guards, Curry has no problem defending Sefrosa, and Yang Rui doesn't have to worry about him being blown up.
Sefrosa lacks the ability to hold the ball and can't take advantage of his physical advantage, so he can only defend.
In the regular season, Sefolosha averaged 21.8 minutes per game, shooting 43.2% from the field and 43.7% from three-point range. It looks very good. In fact, he only averaged 3.7 shots per game, which is pitiful. 1.7 shots, 0.7 goals, 4.8 points, 3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game.
This kind of attack power is obviously soy sauce on the offensive end.What's even more tragic is that in the playoffs, Sefrosa's shooting percentage has decreased, averaging 22.4 minutes, 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 steals, shooting 40.2% from the field and 32.7% from three.
Because of his own flaws, Sefrosa can only be a pseudo-starter, and Fisher is the substitute for him at No. 2.Now that Fisher can't defend, the Thunder's offense is bound to be affected.
The Clippers began to shrink the zone defense with 122, blocking the penalty area, so that the Thunder Three Shao could only shoot in the middle and long distances.
Ibaka still has a bit of a role to play. He can open up the mid-range shot, and Perkins has become a big hole, and he can be easily shorted on the periphery.
Collison is also only a blue-collar insider, not offensive.In the regular season, he averaged 4.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists, and shot 59.7% from the field, mainly relying on the basket.In the playoffs, he scored 3.5 points and 3.4 rebounds, shot 64.7% from the field, and averaged only 2.6 shots per game.
Yang Rui firmly believes that the Clippers can win because the Thunder role players are not strong enough. With their current lineup depth, even if the three young masters are at the peak of their careers, they may not be able to beat the Clippers.
There is no stable three-point shooting point, the Thunder's overall attack is far worse than the Clippers, but with the personal ability of San Shao, the Thunder stunned the score in the second half.Harden made two three-pointers, Westbrook made a lot of free throws, and Durant faced a three-threat, and he could score even in a heads-up.
At halftime, 56-48, the Clippers led by 8 points.
