Chapter 429 The Best Defensive Player Being Guarded
May 5th!In the second round, the Clippers and the Grizzlies, who eliminated their opponents in four games and five games respectively, became the first two teams to start their series in the second round, and Chris Paul still Without a comeback, the Clippers still face the Grizzlies with a remnant formation.
This time the Grizzlies are confident. A month ago, they beat the crippled Clippers once, so they are still very confident about this victory.
This time, the Clippers also have someone to receive the trophy, the best defensive player, Anson's two-pack, this is an answer without any questions, the excellent defensive data and the overall improvement of the Clippers' defense are the best proof, 3.5 times The data of stealing 1.7 blocks is basically the same in history!And Anson became the only perimeter defensive player who won the best defensive player twice.
This trophy has always belonged to the private area of the inside players. The emergence of An Sheng almost slapped all the inside players in the face, letting many fans know that the defense can still be like this.
It's just that the Clippers are not the best defensive team in the NBA. They have the most blocked shots and the most steals in the league, but they only rank third in restricting opponents from scoring. The main reason is that they have more rounds , and the team with the best data belongs to their rival Grizzlies.
This team has a better and more tacit defensive system in positional warfare. This is also the system that Lionel Hollins spent 4 years in the Grizzlies. The best defensive player is not very convinced.
"Tony, let him see how good you are tonight! Don't let him exceed 25 points!" Zach Randolph said with a smile.
"How could it be possible to have 25 points, even 20 points!" Marc Gasol immediately took over the conversation, "And I am behind him."
Tony Allen, who was being talked about, didn't speak, but his eyes showed a little dissatisfaction, watching An Sheng receive the trophy at home.
The away game has always been a game that the disadvantaged team must compete for. Only by winning an away game can they have the hope of advancing, and the goal of the Grizzlies is on the first game!
No one knows when Chris Paul will come back, but at least in the first game, you won't see that familiar face, so the Grizzlies are also planning to make a head start at this time, directly taking advantage of Chris Paul's return. · Winning a game before Paul returns is the priority.
The Grizzlies played a very strong offensive from the very beginning. Zach Randolph took Anthony Davis by force at the beginning of the game. He saw that the young No. [-] pick did not like physical confrontation at all. Pay attention from the start.
Change positions, after the first round, the two insiders switched positions decisively, but Marc Gasol is different from his big brother, he is also a European insider, and Marc Gasol's performance is better than Pau Gasol's Er is much tougher inside.
Turning around, a force from the shoulder directly lifted Anthony Davis away, and the soft touch also allowed him to easily put the ball into the basket. Layups have never been a problem for European insiders.
The start was 4:0, and the points were all scored inside, and Anthony Davis' problems on the defensive end also made the Clippers' home fans a little dissatisfied.
"There is no problem in defending and assisting defense, but it is too soft. An should not need such a weak teammate. He should stand up and play his own momentum! He is obviously stronger than Zach!"
"I didn't dare to make a shot at all on offense. When I was facing Zach just now, he had a chance to finish it with a hook, but he hesitated."
Even Anthony Davis himself knew that his performance just now was very bad. In 3 minutes, the Clippers were forced to call a timeout, and Anthony Davis also lowered his head and seemed not very happy.
It seems that the plan to attack the inside line must be implemented immediately, An Sheng frowned, otherwise Anthony Davis's self-confidence would soon be shattered.
It's just that now, the defense of Tony Allen next to him makes it difficult for him to rush directly to the inside. This seemingly fat outside linebacker has unexpected defensive steps. Although the speed is not fast, he can make every step. Appeared right in front of An Sheng in time.
Accelerate, turn around, break through, with a gap of half a body, Anson slightly passed Tony Allen, and Marc Gasol, who defended back, had a very good position protection. This position is very difficult for fouling things.
Brad Stevens frowned off the court. The inside line on the opposite side controlled his movements very well. It was not easy to draw a foul. The outside line on the opposite side was well protected. Brain Shock obviously didn't stand a chance.
As for the other two perimeters, Eric Bledsoe can move the ball well under the interference of Mike Conley. Jason Stevenson is still the same, he is the same as Ray Allen , His body can no longer support the ball-handling style of play for a long time.
It was only a pick-and-roll. After seeing the gesture of extra training, Anthony Davis ran to the outside line honestly. He wanted to give Anson a pick-and-roll to create a chance to kill inside.
In the first pick-and-roll, the Grizzlies chose to make a substitution, and Gasol's defense jumped out. This is a big defense and a small one.Have the opportunity!But before An Sheng started, Taishaan Prince began to shift his position and started to prepare for the defense. An Sheng's breakthrough was interrupted for a while, and after slowing down, he still ran directly towards the Grizzlies. paint area.
The speed is very fast, even if it was delayed, Gasol Jr. did not have time to complete the defense, An Sheng's layup succeeded, now it is 4 minutes, 5:11, this is also the Clippers' first sports goal, and the other 3 Points are earned from free throws.
Lionel Hollins also immediately made a change, indicating that the Grizzlies' defense should not be replaced. Tony Allen must keep an eye on Anson. This is his task and what he has always wanted to do one thing.
The breakthrough was missed by Marc Gasol!
The fallback mid-range shot was missed by Tony Allen's interference!
Even the Golden Rooster, who is best at independence, is the same!
In the first quarter, Anson played very hard and played very seriously, but he seemed to be under a spell and missed consecutive strikes. Tony Allen and Marc Gasol's inside-out defense played Anson very well. Uncomfortable, scored 7 points on 2 of 4 shots, and even the home fans didn't know what to say.
