Chapter 783: [Full blowout! 】


111 to 95, the Clippers made the finals start.
After the game, Yang Rui commented: "The Nets are very strong. They definitely have the strength to impact the championship. Unfortunately, this year will not work because the Clippers have reached their peak. The regular season record is enough to prove everything."
Paul scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals. Deron scored 21 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists. The two played half a catty.
Deron couldn't even do the daily "eat, sleep and hit Paul" that the fans said, how did he beat Paul Gaculi?
Curry finally played 34 minutes, scoring 31 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, scoring the highest score in the game. If Paul wants to get the MVP, he has to compete with him.
Nash didn't play well today, 2 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 3-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and only got 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Fans of Nash hope that he can achieve the championship dream at the end of his career, and play the star level.
Unfortunately, the finals want to play a role, first of all can not be a defensive black hole, as age grows, Nash defense is getting worse. In this year's playoffs, he did not allow three points, only 38%, averaging 0.6 goals per game, not a good opportunity not to vote.
Even if the defense is left alone and the offense only looks at the offense, Nash's scoring efficiency is too much lower than at the peak, only getting 13.3 points and 6.4 assists every 38 minutes. Therefore, he is not even a good role player in the offensive system.
Yao Ming played 34 minutes, 10 of 18 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. But he exposed physical problems, and his efficiency dropped significantly in the last 6 minutes of the last quarter.
The problem with many Chinese athletes is that their physical condition declines rapidly after age. Yao Ming is 33 years old, not too old, and has lost weight, but after all, he is a giant of 226CM, and the consumption on the field is much larger than that of short players.
In the first three quarters, Yao Ming can keep up with the rhythm. In the last quarter, he is one of the slowest players in the league. He is like O'Neal after the 2006 season. He can't play 20+10 performance because he will lose efficiency for more than 25 minutes. , The overall playing time must be controlled within 30 minutes, this time out.
The players were interviewed and all said that they were no different from last season's finals and they were confident of winning.
Paul said: "Our mentality is very relaxed, as long as we play a normal level, the Clippers will definitely win, and now everyone has to do a clear division of labor and seize the opportunity."
Griffin scored 17 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists. The performance was average, and he didn't shoot a lot. It was more a screen to help his teammates create opportunities. When asked about the data, he said: "I don't care about the data, I just want to defend it successfully. This is the goal of all of us."
The reporter asked Curry: "You got the MVP in the regular season, but you have to play the bench. How do you feel about this?"
"Nothing special, I will always follow the coaching arrangement. Today we won very easily, indicating that the coaching arrangement is correct."
Curry doesn't think he loses face as a substitute. This is the benefit of communication. He knows he will be superior. If Yang Rui didn't talk to Paul during the season and pointed out that Paul would leave in the summer, Curry would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Now, the finals team wants Paul to take the FMVP, Curry is only an assistant, no one will blame him for the poor data, if he plays well off the bench, and rob Paul’s MVP, no one will blame him, only Blame Paul Disappointing.
Therefore, he has no pressure at all, and he can play more freely. This is an unexpected joy.
After two days of rest, on June 9, the two sides played the second game in Los Angeles.
Stevens arranged for the players to practice tactics for two days, trying to strengthen the offense and defense in the second quarter. If you can't attack better or restrict Curry, the Nets will have a hard time winning.
The final plan determined by the Nets was to attack Curry from outside the three-point line. To deal with Paul and Griffin, it was enough to just hit someone near the penalty area.
This did limit Curry, resulting in a drop in his shooting percentage. One person kept looking for physical confrontation to make Curry not easy to take the ball. After the ball was taken, the two people sandwiched it so that he could not easily take the shot, forcing him to divide the ball. The Nets would rather allow Guy, Danny Green, Tony Allen, Battier and others to put up empty seats rather than make Curry comfortable.
However, the result of this defensive strategy is that it is 27 points faster in three quarters, and enters garbage time.
It's okay to short Tony Allen and Battier. The two of them will not be allowed to shoot in the playoffs. The shorting of Guy is still alive. His three-point ability is average. This postseason is not very good. 10.2 points, just ordinary role players.
But shorting Danny Green is a big deal. His 3-pointer this season is no worse than Curry and Korver.
Green broke out, playing 30 minutes, 6 of 6 shots, 5 of 5 3-pointers, scoring 17 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
In the previous life of Yang Rui, the Spurs were reversed by the Heat in 2013. If a player shoots accurately next season, the CCTV5 commentary will not say this portrait of Curry, but will say "This is Danny Green!"
Before Curry and Thompson received the nickname "Water Brothers", Green was considered the most accurate for some time.
In this life, because the Clippers played too many people, Green's data is not conspicuous. The Nets underestimated him in the Finals and returned the painful price.
Paul's performance is also very good, he can always protect the basketball, find the free place, pass the ball to his teammates, scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists in three quarters, zero errors. He still didn't score a lot, but it drove the team to attack.
There are two points that Curry can't compare to Paul, that is, passing and controlling the rhythm.
"Half Orc" Farid also got a 10-minute chance to play, aggressively attacked fast and scored 8 points.
In the last game, Farid didn’t play for a minute, and he was almost blown up when he was powerful. When he was full of energy, he rushed, not to mention the inside Brache, Favors, Yao Ming~EbookFREE.me~ Even Joe Johnson and Bogans couldn't catch up with him.
Seeing that the score was too far behind, and the tactics had no effect, Stevens simply gave up the game and replaced all the main force.
In the final quarter, the two sides contested against each other. Yang Rui asked Paul to play for another 6 minutes, against Nash, Curry took a rest. This is clearly to help him brush the MVP.
Paul came off the bench, and the offense still played very well. The players played like they did before the game, with a midfield pick-and-roll, side screens, and occasionally a hawk attack routine.
Nash couldn't help Curry, and he couldn't defend Paul well. Curry is catching the ball to meet Nash, Paul uses another way to force a breakthrough, get rid of Nash layup, or attract defensive teammates.
Paul scored 8 points and 4 assists in the last quarter and scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 16 assists and 2 steals in 36 minutes, leading the team to continue to widen the score difference.
Nash did not rest in the second half, and finally had a performance against Barbosa, hitting two three-pointers, one in the cast, and scored 8 points.
The scene seems to be friendship first and competition second. Barbosa was overturned by Reggie Evans when he broke through, and Nash pulled him in a friendly way. The two hugged gently and patted each other's back.
They have been teammates with the Suns for many years and they have a good relationship.
Although 11 years of media claimed that Nash was wearing a green hat by Barbosa, the child born by Nash's wife was Barbosa's flesh, Nash was furious and immediately divorced his wife, Barbosa was also traded by the sun. But later it was confirmed that Nash's derailment was the real reason for his lightning divorce, and Barbosa was lying.
The Clippers won 123 to 95 in the final game, with a total score of 2 to 0.
Although there have been precedents in the history of the NBA where the Finals were 0 to 2 behind and reversed to win the championship, but the object of the reversal will definitely not be the Clippers such a regular season record breaking team.
