Chapter 689: [No solution soft eggs, eliminated out of the game]

Yang Rui gave the outside players an extra three points. Griffin added free throws and made full preparations. The second game was still a problem.
In the opening, the Clippers are an extreme small ball lineup and Mavericks attack. The Mavericks also made adjustments to allow Barea to play as the starting point guard and play with Kidd on the outside to strengthen the defense against breakthroughs.
Barria was shorter and faster than Paul, and it was not so easy for Paul to break through. Kidd countered Curry, mainly anti-shooting, using experience to disrupt Curry's rhythm.
Yang Rui's task for Curry was to shoot a three-pointer, not a breakthrough. He looked for opportunities in the periphery, received the ball, withdrew the shot, and faced Kidd. He failed to guarantee a high shooting percentage.
Kidd gave Curry a few elbows, so that he lost his calm.
This is the first time Curry has played in the playoffs. Yang Rui suddenly arranged important tasks for him, affecting his mentality. He really wanted to play, but not every shot was accurate. Once he missed a 3-pointer, he did not hurt the team because he was a weak point on the defensive end, and the Mavericks had a much higher offensive shooting percentage.
The Mavericks led by 13 points in the first quarter.
Terry took the bench in the second quarter, Carlisle also gave Cardinal a few minutes of playing time, responsible for defense and outside shooting.
Cardinal focused on the defensive end, keeping up with Dunleavy, not asking for data, only asking for interference. Offensively, he made an outside shot in 6 minutes and entered. As long as the system is suitable, small people can also play a role.
The Clippers won't take advantage of this section, and the game would be difficult to play.
In the second half, the Mavericks had a clear division of labor. Nowitzki, Terry, and Gasol Jr. were the main offenders. The others were defensively and shot three points. The defensive end Mavericks strictly guarded outside shooting, Griffin, Jordan Jr. impacted the rim, if they were misplaced, they directly fouled and pulled them and sent them free throws.
The Clippers got a lot of free throws, Griffin was still alive, and Jordan's shooting percentage collapsed, throwing two threes.
His first three non-sticks caused Buckley to laugh, "This ball is not only short but also missed to the side. How did he do it? Does his eyes look crooked?"
Smith also said: "I really don't understand why his standard posture can still be punished by three non-sticks. If he is in the free throw position of Noah, I can understand it."
Barkley said: "Don't henoa, he made a free throw."
In the last quarter, Dunleavy and Korver found a feel and helped the team to recover some points. But they fell behind too much before helplessness. In the end, the Clippers lost the game 94 to 107, with a total score of 1:1.
The third game took place at the Mavericks' home ground. The "jet" Terry blew the wind, making 13 of 18 shots, 8 of 11 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 38 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Terry alone can compare with all of the Clippers' substitute data. Nowitzki and Gasol Jr. played stably. Prince also played superbly. 7 of 12 shots, 3 of 3 3-pointers and 4 free throws In 4, scored 21 points and 7 rebounds.
The Mavericks beat the Clippers 128-108, with a total score of 2-1.
Everyone felt that the Clippers were a bit bad. Their offense could reach a normal level, but they couldn't prevent the Mavericks' offense.
In the fourth game, Yang Rui was forced to increase Jordan's playing time. The team needed him to guard the penalty area. Griffin came to the center. The penalty area allowed people to play casually. He could resist people and could not block the shot.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Griffin never averaged one block per game in a single season, peaking at 0.7. This is the sorrow of the 211CM wingspan, which is also the champion, he is about the same size as Duncan, and the wingspan is 20CM shorter...
Some Kehei called Kobe "A short" with an arm length of 208 cm, which is an insult to the adjective "short". This word must and should belong to Griffin.
And to play small ball tactics, the rebound must rely on Griffin, Guy rebounding efficiency is not high, protecting the backcourt rebounds is not good, although the Mavericks are floor flow, but will cleverly dial the ball to the outside , Kidd and Prince have a good sense of rebounding.
When Jordan Jr. came on, the Clippers broke the defense and the Mavericks shrank near the penalty area. The Clippers players shot long and medium distance and the big men protected the rebound.
Jordan's air cut will be pulled, the free throw line is stable, 2 of 6 shots in the first quarter. The Mavericks didn't foul him without the ball, just pulled a hand when he was empty, so that he could prevent it.
Griffin's offense is also blocked, the mid-range shot is okay, trying to dunk no way. Griffin's hit rate is not high whether he makes a mid-range shot after pick-and-roll, or beats Nowitzki and Gasol Jr.
101 to 115, the Clippers lost another game, the total score behind 1 to 3.
Few teams can overtake when they are 1 to 3 behind, and the Clippers are almost sentenced to death. Yang Rui called a lot of pauses to adjust the tactics, but the players' cooperation was not good enough, mainly relying on personal abilities and pick-and-roll, complex tactics could not come out. The Mavericks' defense is obviously better than the Clippers, and there is always a way to get them into singles.
After the game, the media no longer touted Griffin, but exaggerated the veteran Nowitzki.
Griffin is the representative of the league's brutal power forward, a new generation of tough-blooded guys, the series is completely suppressed, so that people can not ignore the "soft egg" Nowitzki.
Nowitzki has no solution to the offense in the playoffs. It is very easy to break the pack. Is he poorly defended? He also played well against Griffin, did not let his opponent do whatever he wanted in the post, and could hardly find any shortcomings.
Gasol Jr.'s shots and responses were also highly rated. Some people compared him with Yao Ming, thinking that Gasol Jr. is now a weakened version of Yao Ming, an All-Star center.
The Clippers returned home to fight back. The Clippers outside players finally found the front sight. Paul, Guy, Curry and Korver scored 14 three-pointers.
In order to stabilize the defense, Neil and Danny Green were completely abandoned, and Kurt Thomas got 10 minutes of playing time.
This adjustment has achieved remarkable results. Thomas can still keep up with the rhythm of the game, guard the penalty area, and cast two mid-range shots.
Yang Rui also gave Tony Allen and Jordan a lot of playing time, successfully reducing the scoring efficiency of the Mavericks~EbookFREE.me~ Helpless can't open the space inside, the free throws are low, the Clippers still hit the Mavericks Last minute.
Marion's back throw and Kidd's three-pointer helped the Mavericks overtake the score in the last 3 seconds, 98 to 99.
At this time, the Clippers had not paused. Yang Rui was anxious on the sidelines and could only watch the players play.
At a critical moment, Curry stood up and received a pass from Paul in the backcourt to quickly advance to the frontcourt. Once the left side crossed the center line, he greeted Terry with both hands and threw the ball towards the rim.
The ball was very sudden. Terry failed to interfere. The whistle at the end of the game rang when the ball was flying in the air. 101 to 99.
Curry scored 25 points and 6 assists, and used a super lore to help the Clippers successfully renew his life. After the game, the media greatly praised him.
Tony Allen's defense has also been affirmed again. When he played, the Mavericks' scoring efficiency dropped significantly. Even if the offense is bad, he will play more than 25 minutes per game.
Unfortunately, the Clippers did not laugh to the end.
The sixth game was held in Dallas. The Mavericks had amazing morale. The players were in a state of bravery. They scored a 19-point lead in the first half, strengthened their defense in the second half, and kept their advantage until the end. Both Paul and Griffin were lost and their shooting percentage was very low.
Paul made 6 of 15 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 16 points and 13 assists. Although there were only one turnover, the assist turnover was better than the control, but he could not lead the team to win.
Griffin made 5 of 16 shots, made 4 of 8 free throws, and scored 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Curry scored 17 points and 4 assists. The game was quite satisfactory. Guy played his best performance in the series and scored 28 points and 6 rebounds. Unfortunately, the wind came too late.
The Clippers lost 100 to 112, and the total score was eliminated 2 to 4.
