Chapter 839: [Stable as a dog, really thigh]

The offensive tactics arranged by Yang Rui were players heads-up. The three pulled off to prepare for a three-pointer. Tyson Chandler attracted defense in the post. He was responsible for grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt. Livingston held the ball.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Livingston played very well after joining the Warriors, and was nicknamed by Chinese fans as "CIC is as stable as a dog and has a beautiful posture."
Livingston's biggest advantage is stability. He rarely makes mistakes on both ends of the offense and defense. He has never averaged double points in his career, but when the team needs him to play, he can also deliver satisfactory answers.
He broke out in the playoffs this season, averaging 24 minutes per game, scoring 9.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists, shooting 51.2% from the field. His presence enriches the Clippers' tactics and can play three positions. During the regular season against the Thunder, Yang Rui even let him defend against Durant, and the effect is not bad.
In contrast, the Nets backup point guard Watson has too many problems, only 188CM in height but tends to score personally, shoots well, and is not good at organizing. Defensively, he likes gambling steals, lacks athleticism and height, and his defensive level is below the league average.
Livingston singled out Watson and quickly scored 6 points with an assist.
In three and a half minutes, the Nets came off the bench and did not score. Only Kirilenko vacated the ball and forced a layup to create a Parsons foul. He made 1 free throw and scored 1 point.
The Clippers offense was much better. Livingston had 6 points. Parsons made a three-pointer. Tyson Chandler made a foul on the layup. He made two free throws. An air cut succeeded with a two-hand dunk. 13 points.
The Clippers led 45 to 35, and Stevens was forced to request a timeout.
The five substitutes of the Nets all played poorly. If they don't adjust, they will be hit by a wave.
In the regular season, Thornton played 26 games for the Nets. He scored 12.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He shot 41.4% from the field, 38% from the 3-point range and 80% from the free throw line. It looked like a super sixth man.
Unfortunately, as soon as he entered the playoffs, Thornton's performance was like changing a person, only scoring 8.1 points, shooting 38.6%, 23.8% three-pointers, and averaging only 0.3 assists per game. Thornton had only a basket in the eyes of the catcher, with few breakthroughs. All jumpers were not allowed. His 193CM height 2 position on the defensive end was a disadvantage.
It was not without reason that Thornton fell to 13th place in the second round of the 2009 draft. His defense has always been poor. This is the first time he played in the playoffs. He was a bit overwhelmed in the finals. Too.
Substitute center Brache averaged 11.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the regular season. He shot 47.6% from the field. He is an excellent substitute. He can attack the thin inside and can also pull out the pick and roll and catch the ball.
Against the famous blue-collar insider, Chandler, Brache couldn't fight. The Clippers players are very active in changing defenses. They are not afraid of misalignment in all positions. Danny Green, who is the shortest, has 198CM. Brache is not good at shooting guards.
Kirilenko was in such a state of decline that he played 15 minutes per game in the playoffs, averaging only 2.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1 assist. At that time, the angry spray net team recruited the shady people and now they feel psychologically balanced.
Watson and Telitovich's offense is usually good, and they cannot be played today under strict defense.
The first three rounds of the Nets' substitutes performed well because of poor opponents. As soon as Yang Rui stepped up his defense, the Nets attacked weakly.
Substitution, Stevens. Joe Johnson, who took a five-minute break, played and replaced Thornton.
The substitution was effective immediately. Joe Johnson beat Green twice to score, broke Parsons and scored a three-pointer for Telitovich. The Nets tactics were changed to heads-up, but instead opened up the situation.
Entering the playoffs, Joe Johnson's playing time increased to 39 minutes, scoring 21.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 53.3% from the field, 41.5% from the 3-point range, and 83.7% from the free throw line, an absolute star performance.
Chinese fans like to call Joe Johnson "true thigh", which is indeed the case. He originally joined the Nets in order to hug Yao Ming and Delong's thighs. Unexpectedly, he has always played the most in the playoffs in the past two years. Stable person. Although he hasn't won a championship yet, he has always received high marks.
After 6 minutes, the Clippers changed to the starting lineup, inside Parsons and Griffin partner to play small ball tactics, using the tactics against the Spurs, the midfield organization forward, three-point shots and other opportunities, Griffin gave Curry There is no ball screen on the side to help Curry create a misplaced opportunity and then cut inwards.
Stevens also attaches great importance to defense. Yao Ming didn't play in the whole quarter, and Brache, who was slower in shifting and poor pick-and-roll protection, was replaced. Favors took the center. Telitovic power forward and Clippers fight Small ball tactics, Curry made a good three-point defense, and the defense against the inside became worse, Griffin began to show his power, several layups forced a layup, and fouled foul.
At the end of the half, the Clippers led 67 to 60 by combining inside and outside.
During the intermission, many Chinese fans on the Internet were dissatisfied with Stevens's employment. Yao Ming took only 8 minutes to rest in the first quarter. Without falling into foul trouble, the coach did not let him play. This made the fans who supported him. Feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, because Stevens decisively hid Yao Ming, the halftime difference was not widened to the point where he could not catch up. When the Clippers play small ball tactics, Yao Ming's current mobility can't be changed to defend the defender, a side screen will give a chance.
When Yao Ming's position is far from the penalty area, it is easy to pass by the guard. Can't pass the defender can also find time to pass the ball, allowing teammates to misplace the basket.
In the second half, Stevens used the opening starter, but Telitovic played a small forward, Joe Johnson took a short break, Butler played a shooting guard.
Yang Rui arranged small ball tactics again, Curry, Danny Green, Parsons, Draymond Green, Griffin~EbookFREE.me~The Clippers' formation was completely opened, Draymond Germany played an organization striker in the middle, Parsons and Griffin gave teammates no ball shield. Parsons is similar to a power forward, and the quality of the cover is not too bad, as long as the opponent is slightly blocked to pass.
The Clippers cover tactics have only one purpose, which is to withdraw Yao Ming from the penalty area. If Yao Ming fails to defend, the two defenders will take the ball from outside and will never take one more step. When Yao Mingfang came out, he rushed with the ball and passed it to his teammate.
Like many teams' choices, the Nets used the defense to guard Curry and relaxed their defense against Danny Green. Even if Green's three-pointers are accurate this season, everyone still has to deal with the regular season MVP first.
Stevens used to be Yang Rui’s assistant, and he still remembered many of Yang Rui’s theories. In the finals, he guarded the star strictly. If the star wanted to win the honor, he would take more shots. This is the test of selflessness. Too.
Curry didn't want to be selfless. Yang Rui arranged the organizer to be Draymond. The tactic he arranged was to hit Yao Ming's side and pass it to Yao Ming's defender who wanted to change his defense. If Blatche comes out, it is to play the side of Bracket, attacking the weak point with poor mobility inside.
Danny Green did not disappoint Yang Rui. He was in such a brave season this season that he had a ridiculously high field goal percentage. He reached 44.3% in the playoffs and will grow after this. In the third quarter, he scored three consecutive points and made 5 of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, scoring 15 points.
Zhang reasonable exclamation: "Danny Green this is to compete for MVP!"
Stevens wanted to attack with Yao Ming in the opening, and let him play for 5 minutes. During this time, the Nets had a big defense problem. It was useless to adjust. After Yao Ming got off the court, the Clippers could still hit the penalty area, and Favors couldn't help himself, and continued to be suppressed in the second half.
102 to 81, the Clippers led 21 points into the final quarter, basically locking the victory.
