Chapter 487 The Defeat of the Second Lineup

Chapter 487 The Defeat of the Second Team

LeBron James wasn't too tired, but Anson was exhausted after defending for a whole quarter on the defensive end.Fierce physical confrontation and chasing LeBron James around the pick-and-roll, this is really not a job that ordinary people can do. The point is that LeBron James is in great shape tonight, and his physical exertion did not limit LeBron James. The role of Brown James, looking at it this way, it seems that the Clippers still have a little loss?

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced their respective second teams with a tacit understanding. Eric Bledsoe and Anthony Davis became the tactical core of the Clippers' second team.For Eric Bledsoe, this can be regarded as a stepping stone, but Brad Stevens seems to have forgotten that this bench gangster has been extremely weak in the recent playoffs. Eric Bledsoe feels a little flattered by playing less and now playing suddenly.

What Brad Stevens hopes is to use this lineup to help the team open up a different situation in the second quarter. In his opinion, his bench lineup is obviously stronger than the opponent's many.One thing is obvious to see this.

When the Clippers do not have Chris Paul, Anson, and Jordan, they can still have a very strong lineup, Eric Bledsoe, Ray Allen, Jason Richardson, Anthony Day Weiss and Reggie Evans lineup.Even if this lineup is placed in the lower reaches of the Western Conference playoffs, it is not too bad, and now for this Clippers, this is just their second team.

The biggest problem with this team is that it relies heavily on Eric Bledsoe's ability to hold the ball. No matter how Ray Allen and Jason Richardson recover, they only used it for a while. , So this team relies heavily on Eric Bledsoe's breakthrough ability, otherwise no matter how strong your running ability is, there is no good breakthrough player to disrupt the opponent's defense. With the ability to switch defenses, the two three-pointers will still have a chance to shoot.

And now that's the case, a pick-and-roll combination that Eric Bledsoe and Anthony Davis worked so well during the regular season didn't work as well tonight, with Mario Chalmers playing a very good role for E. Rick Bledsoe's defense has been very effective.

In the first step of the pick-and-roll, put up the line and defend the line, giving Eric Bledsoe a three-pointer. This is their defensive tacit understanding. Eric Bledsoe tried two three-pointers Both missed the basket,

It's hard, once the three-pointer is not accurate, even with a pick-and-roll, it is not easy for Eric Bledsoe to get inside easily, not to mention that Chris Bosh can do it because he doesn't need to step forward to defend. The lineup is inside, which also allows him to fully play his role in inside defense.

Cold hands, that's how it feels for Eric Bledsoe, who hasn't played in a game like this in a long time.The last time he played in the second quarter was against the Rockets in the first round. When facing the Thunder and Grizzlies, as long as he is allowed to play, it is an inevitable fact that he will be sieved on the defensive end. He didn't have the chance to play in several rounds of the playoffs. How could he feel hot when he just played.

This is also one of Brad Stevens' problems. In games like the NCAA, players have always been plug-and-play. If they feel that the opponent they face today, which player they play on the field may be effective, then they Who will play, but it is different here. Eric Bledsoe's self-confidence has been worn out before, and these two three-pointers made him even more sluggish. Duan was bullied by Mario Chalmers instead.

Everyone knows that the Heat's offense relies heavily on the Big Three, but they have also overlooked the excellent offensive ability of Mario Chalmers.A man who can lead the University of Kansas to victory over Memphis University with Derrick Rose and win the MVP, he cannot only have the ability on the defensive end.

He is not only a member of the Little Emperor's Royal Salute, he has a good three-point ability. At the same time, his breakthrough ability is definitely a good presence among point guards. In front of a breakthrough master, he has to learn a trick or two, and his own physical fitness is definitely not bad among point guards, otherwise he would not play such an excellent defense.

In the mind of Brad Stevens, he could play an advantage, or the lineup that could let Anson rest for a longer time, but suffered a heavy blow at the beginning. Even if he has experienced two NCAA finals and won Champions and coaches who have also won runner-ups will also worry about gains and losses.This is the NBA Finals.

"The Clippers' second team was defeated. To be honest, I have very doubts about Brad's reuse of Eric in this game. Doesn't he know that he used Eric a while ago? What kind of effect? ​​You can't ask a young guard to perform very well as soon as he plays such an important game. Not everyone is Kobe, but Dwyane." Shaquille O'Neal was criticizing this Brad Stevens also did not forget to praise the teammates in front of him.

As a rookie in 96, Kobe Bryant won the first championship with him in 2000, and at that time, he had already become the No. [-] man of that Lakers team. The crown played an irreplaceable role.

The same is true for Dwyane Wade. In the third year of his career, he won the NBA championship and the Finals MVP. He is even the third youngest Finals MVP in history.And the two people before him, one is the number one point guard Magician, and the other is the number one power forward Tim Duncan.

"Hey, brother, you seem to have forgotten one thing. It wasn't Eric who was used to compare with Dwyane and Magic at the time. He was at most a second team player. Please don't think about him. That’s so important.” Charles Barkley couldn’t listen anymore, indeed, the Clippers’ second team was indeed defeated, and was beaten 3:11 in just 3 minutes, but this is not the end of the world, and Anson has now started He took off his coat and was ready to appear again.And that's why Charles Barkley is full of confidence.
