Chapter 277: Kenyon Martin's Revenge
The score was stretched to 10 points. The Clippers, who want to steal the next game in the away game, cannot sit still. They must recover the score quickly, otherwise they will lead by 10 points and be dragged into their game rhythm by the Spurs , This 10-point advantage may become an insurmountable gap for the Clippers.
Del Negro decisively called a timeout, and replaced Anson, Kenyon Martin and Jordan Jr. at one time, and the back line was also a combination of Chris Paul and Jason Richardson , The Clippers want to recover the lagging score in the second quarter. This lineup also represents their determination. Except for Blake Griffin, who is in poor condition in the starting lineup, the Clippers put their strongest lineup in the first quarter. above.
Before the game, some media used the power forwards in the matchup between the Clippers and the Spurs to say that this was the most talented power forward matchup ever. The Spurs' starting power forward Tim Duncan was the No. 1997 pick in 2000. The Clippers' backup power forward Kenyon Martin was the No. 2009 pick in [-], and the starting power forward Blake Griffin was the No. [-] pick in [-]. Fortunately, this time the three No. [-] picks may not become the most intense spark of the team's previous confrontation.
An Sheng, who almost stormed the whole quarter in the first quarter, played directly after resting for less than 4 minutes. His physical strength did not allow him to take on more things on the offensive end after he made more defenses.
Chris Paul and Kenyon Martin played a pick-and-roll, and the Spurs switched defenses very quickly. Their tacit understanding of whether to switch defenses on the defensive end is also at the top level. They can always quickly change when the opponent is performing pick-and-rolls and running positions. own position.That's the Spurs' defense.
When the Clippers were making substitutions, Tim Duncan also set foot on the court again. For Tim Duncan, Kenyon Martin was very familiar with him. Tim Duncan played the peak of his career. In the finals, he faced him. On the defensive end, he awarded the Nets 8 caps in one game, and he also scored 20+20 in that game.
Many people are mocking themselves as the No. 17 pick, but after meeting Tim Duncan, it’s like meeting a father. It seems that I want to give him a statistic. I, who averaged close to 10 points per game in the regular season, almost didn’t even get the data of [-] points per game in the finals this season. A chance for revenge.
Kenyon Martin, who was running, thought of this, saw An Sheng winking at him, and ran around An Sheng directly.Anson set him a pick-and-roll, sending Kenyon Martin straight up.
"Kawaii!" Tim Duncan yelled over there.And Kawhi Leonard nodded and followed Kenyon Martin with a sliding step.All communication is unspoken.
However, the Clippers' choice was not to pass the ball to Kenyon Martin, but to Anson. Anson easily swayed and accelerated to kill and directly broke through Duncan. The number of attacks was reduced so that nothing would be done.And when Kawhi Leonard came over to defend, a pass penetrated the rookie's crotch and went directly to Kenyon Martin who ran behind him, who dunked directly.
Although he doesn't have the speed and bounce of Blake Griffin in his old age, his consciousness is more in place. Anson's catch of the ball is their original purpose. After this pick-and-roll, Anson's purpose is to pull Tim Duncan out Then complete a breakthrough with full acceleration, which left the Spurs empty inside, exactly the same as the Clippers suffered in the first half of the first half.
Anson and Chris Paul are the initiators of this beautiful goal, but the final finisher still has to be because of Kenyon Martin's conscious transposition and air cut, which Blake Griffin can't do .
The Spurs Manu Ginobili executed the Spurs' attack, and his breakthrough was as agile as before, but this time Anson put his focus down, and he followed Manu Ginobili every step of the way. Billy's position, and Manu Ginobili using his left foot to take off while laying up with his left hand, this is also a very anti-human action.
He avoided An Sheng's defense, but this time he was caught by Jordan behind him, and his outstretched arms almost completely blocked Manu Ginobili's position.
There is no way, the ball was directly slapped by Jordan, An Sheng took the opportunity to pick up the ball, and directly passed a long pass to Kenyon Martin, who was about to play, which made him feel very familiar, just like Jason Key Like the pass from Germany, his body seemed to return to 20 years old, and he went directly to the free throw line to complete the dunk.
Kenyon Martin came on as a substitute, scoring consecutive points made Blake Griffin, who was sitting on the bench, feel a little embarrassed. He is considered one of the core of this team, but he did not expect to sit off the court After that, their attack went more smoothly.
As Kenyon Martin, who played well on the court, he didn't have the heart to worry about the mood of the young player off the court. Facing the Spurs, he fought with 100% combat effectiveness every time.
And today is the day of his revenge for Tim Duncan, maybe a bit embarrassing, he didn't score one-on-one to break through this rock-solid super power forward, but at the end of the second quarter At that time, he had scored 9 points and 3 rebounds to help the Clippers chase the 10-point difference to only two points.
Anson had two assists and Chris Paul had two assists. They were extremely sufficient for Kenyon Martin's shells.This is the advantage of the Clippers team. In the Clippers team, not every role player will create a system that suits him like the Spurs, but the Clippers have two outstanding players. passer.
The 2-point gap is no longer a gap that makes the Clippers a little scared. There are more opportunities for the Clippers in the second half of the game. Compared with the Spurs team, the Clippers are younger. If there is no pressure on the score, in the second half, the Clippers are not afraid of the Spurs, especially today when they met An Sheng, who was in full form. Although he also scored 4 points and 2 assists in the second quarter, he was not tired. Kenyon Martin's outburst bought him a lot of rest time.
