Chapter 422 The Untrusted Jeremy Lin
It wasn't until 4 minutes into the second quarter that Jeremy Lin, who had always occupied the main position in the regular season, finally played. It was Patrick Beverley who couldn't accept the serial bombing of the Clippers' luxurious back line because of his physical strength, which forced Kai Vin McHale replaced Jeremy Lin.
But this "forced" substitution had an effect just after it was implemented. The 191cm Jeremy Lin has a very obvious height advantage at the point guard position. Facing Eric Bledsoe, who is only 183cm tall, he has physical strength. Advantage, and he is very good at using this advantage.
The breakthrough from the right directly crushed Eric Bledsoe. Compared with his offense, the defensive end is indeed his disadvantage. Facing Patrick Beverley's offensive skills A player who is all on open three-pointers, he only needs to do what he should do, but facing a player like Jeremy Lin who has scored 38 points against Kobe Bryant's defense, let He was a little stretched.
This breakthrough gave the Clippers an opportunity to defend the interior line that was originally tight. Jordan's defense was in place, but in the gap behind, Anthony Davis did not make up for it in time. Francisco Garcia, who was traded from the Kings The small forward who came over played as a substitute on top of the power forward in this game. At this time, he finally played a role and opened up space.
By the way, Anthony Davis has scored 14 points tonight.It has to be said that the Rockets' operation at the All-Star hour this season is a bit helpless.They traded all the starting power forwards and backup power forwards in the team.
In the next game, either Chandler Parsons and Francisco Garcia, who are over 2 meters tall, will be used to top it, or Donatas Motiejunas or Terrence Jones will be used. The two rookies can't be the rookies of the rookies.
In this game, all the No. 4 positions have almost zero restrictions on Anthony Davis on the defensive end. They are either slower than him or shorter than him. They are not a level player at all. Kevin McHale can't wait to take off The suit taught the No. 0 pick a lesson. He felt that even when he was 40 years old, he would be better than the guys who just went up.
As the core power forward and No. [-] scorer of the three-time Kelvins champions, he has such confidence that he can beat the rookie who challenged himself and Larry Bird, the best striker in history, before the start of the season. Portfolio guy.
Omer Asik relied on Jeremy Lin's assist to score two points, and at the position of power forward, the Rockets, who rotated many people, still did not get a share. Fortunately, Jeremy Lin immediately played with Francisco Garcia. A good pick-and-roll coordination, assisting the latter to make a three-pointer at the top of the arc.
Jeremy Lin's appearance immediately activated the Rockets' two insiders who did not have the ability to attack independently. His breakthrough threat is still quite large for the Clippers. Anson still knows Jeremy Lin, but on the defensive end, Anson's primary goal is to keep the black man in check. Fatty, let him jump up, the Rockets can really play as strong as the Clippers.
Facts have proved that if Jeremy Lin is given enough ball rights, he will also give the Rockets enough performance. James Harden is looked down upon by Anson, and now is his chance to score and assist. He is far behind on the offensive end. Much more than Patrick Beverley is capable of.
The Rockets bit the score in the second quarter. Although Anthony Davis was still a point that the Rockets couldn’t handle, Jeremy Lin’s performance also became a point that the Clippers couldn’t handle in the second quarter. The scores of the two sides also alternated. rise.
Brad Stevens just watched the opponent's performance and didn't say much. Now they are still ahead, and he is not in a hurry to change. What he needs is to observe, to observe the characteristics of this Asian, maybe without knowing Anson Before, he treated all Asians like many traditional American coaches, with average explosive power, average basic skills, and average physical fitness. In short, there is no special player.As for Yao Ming, are you sure you want to discuss that 226cm center among ordinary players?
But after An Sheng, he will never underestimate any Asian player, so he has to focus on Jeremy Lin's magical performance in the second quarter.
This is a very fast player. Although there have been rumors in previous physical tests, Jeremy Lin's sprint speed with the ball is no less than that of John Wall, and even faster. At that time, he did not believe it. But after watching Jeremy Lin's breakthrough in the second quarter, he couldn't help thinking, could all Asians run so fast?He has only seen a few Asian outsiders, An Sheng, who is unrivaled in the 3rd position, and a defender who is faster than John Wall?
It was 65:57 in the first half, and the Clippers led by 8 points. This score is completely different from the previous first game. At least the gap is not big. The Rockets still have a chance. During the intermission, they observed long enough Brad Stevens finally made adjustments, using Jason Richardson to defend Jeremy Lin at the top of the [-]st position, and Ray Allen was with Francisco, who was also going to become an old guy. · Garcia goes to matchup.
Strategizing, An Sheng looked at the smile on the boss's face, and almost wrote "Brad Zhuge Wensi" on his face, but he was still very optimistic about this substitution, Jason Richardson's Although the defense is not top-notch, and the speed is not as good as that of Jeremy Lin, but having a strong body can cause very effective interference to Jeremy Lin.
At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets' starting lineup did not have Jeremy Lin at all. Yes, it was without him. After Jeremy Lin scored 9 points and 3 assists in the second quarter, at the critical moment of the third quarter, Kevin McHale still chose Put Jeremy Lin on the bench and choose Patrick Beverley.
At first, Brad Stevens thought that Kevin McHale was seeing his own ideas, what kind of new ideas he had in using Patrick Beverly, but soon he felt that he was just thinking too much No, it's just Kevin McHale trying to play defense.
"Fight defense? Are you sure you can beat us?" Brad Stevens smiled on his face. For a full 3 minutes, the Rockets' new lineup came up with only James Harden hitting a magic three-pointer After that, they didn't score a point, and the Rockets' No. 4 position was still penetrated, but this time even Kenyon Martin was not something they could defend.
