Chapter 232

Yi Jianlian's performance was an unstable factor in the game between the Clippers and the Mavericks, but it was only a small episode. His performance slowed down the Clippers' offense. On the defensive end, he played the role of a low-profile Tyson Chandler , so that the Mavericks have not been opened up at least under the full explosion of An Sheng's nuclear weapon. This is bad news for the Clippers.

After 8 consecutive minutes without playing, in the second half of the second quarter, Del Negro finally realized his conscience and asked Anson to rest for a while. Several other main players of the Clippers teamed up with Ryan Gomez to play again.

After the break, the feel of the Clippers has not recovered. Chris Paul's first three-pointer on the court ended with a strike. He couldn't help shaking his head when he shot the ball. What kind of feel is this?I'm afraid this is the worst shooting touch he has had since the All-Star break.

Once Chris Paul doesn't have the touch of a long-range shot, the Mavericks don't have to be too afraid of Chris Paul's pick-and-roll. Lots of misplaced opportunities.

Jason Richardson, the Clippers' most reliable three-point shooter this season, was also inaccurate in this game. The consecutive three-pointers made the Mavericks' defense start to shrink more and more. Yi Jianlian, playing the role of Tyson Chandler, may be playing his best game this season. Not to mention the Clippers did not expect it, even Rick Carlisle, who played him, did not expect Yi Jianlian to play on the court. Such an excellent effect.

Fortunately, offense requires state and touch, but it is easier to do a good job of defense. You only need to maintain your focus, and you can play the defense you want every night.

Reggie Evans also came off the bench for Jordan, and Del Negro can still play a role occasionally, such as this substitution.

As an insider, Yi Jianlian has always been one of his biggest problems in terms of rebound protection. Reggie Evans is just the opposite of Yi Jianlian. He has no shooting, no speed, and is not tall, but when it comes to grabbing offensive rebounds , especially offensive rebounds, he is not afraid of anyone in the league, including Dwight Howard.

Blake Griffin missed Dirk Nowitzki's tough driving layup, and the rebound battle was between Reggie Evans and Yi Jianlian.

In terms of height, Yi Jianlian has a height of more than 210cm, while Reggie Evans is not tall, only 201cm tall, just like the four-time best defensive player Ben, an insider in his early two meters.

In terms of jumping wingspan, Yi Jianlian is naturally not false at all. When he first entered the NBA, Yi Jianlian's template was that perverted Kevin Garnett.

But the biggest difference from Kevin Garnett is that Kevin Garnett doesn't look strong, but he has enough explosive power to fight against those strong men. In this regard, Yi Jianlian is much worse.

Therefore, in this confrontation, Yi Jianlian completely lost his position. The advantages of short stature and low center of gravity are fully reflected at this moment. Reggie Evans, who has judged the landing point, directly squeezes Yi Jianlian out with his body Even if Yi Jianlian has the advantage of height and wingspan to bounce the rebound, at this moment, he can't play it at all.

Even if you can fly and jump, but you are completely squeezed out of the area where the rebound lands, let alone Yi Jianlian, it is useless for you to let Dwight Howard come. Reggie Evans grabbed the rebound and passed directly. It was in the hands of Jason Richardson outside the three-point line, and the latter finally relied on this opportunity to hit the first three-pointer of the game.

After hitting a three-pointer, Jason Richardson waved excitedly. For the Clippers' top shooter, this three-pointer has greatly improved his confidence. If it weren't for this three-pointer, maybe Jia Sen Richardson has lost the confidence to continue shooting.

And this is just the beginning of Reggie Evans' offensive rebounds. In just 6 minutes of the second half of the second quarter, Reggie Evans scored 5 offensive rebounds in the frontcourt. This simply broke the hearts of the Mavericks fans at the American Airlines Center. There were 6 more offensive opportunities in 5 minutes. No matter how hard the Mavericks are, they will continue to widen the point difference.

After halftime, the Clippers led the Mavericks by another 5 points. The Clippers were still hitting the iron, but they became more and more confident in their shots. Reggie Evans directly turned the tide in the paint and grabbed the frontcourt They were fed until they couldn't spit it out, but Yi Jianlian couldn't do anything about it.

Strength, grab board awareness!Yi Jianlian is still deeply aware of the huge gap between himself and Reggie Evans in these two points. For himself, tonight should have been a very good night, but in the end he suffered from the direction he is least good at. Bash.

This is actually the gap between the hard power of the Clippers and that of the Mavericks. The Mavericks have a task to rise from the bench, but the Clippers, who are more powerful in terms of overall strength, can always find a way to deal with it. It is not easy for the Mavericks In terms of opportunities that appeared, the Clippers restrained them in just a few minutes. For this team of Mavericks, it is really one foot higher than the devil.

Yi Jianlian was a little lonely and was about to go back to the locker room. At this time, Dirk Nowitzki, who was next to him, was wearing his clothes, trotted over, walked back with him, and went: "You did well, Yi, yours tonight Defensively good, you have to keep being aggressive!"

"Dirk! Don't comfort me. My rebound was robbed." Yi Jianlian did not shirk his responsibility. Indeed, his excellent performance in the first half could not cover up the fact that his rebound was robbed in the second half.

"No, no, no! I'm your inside partner. I have a share of the rebounding problem." Dirk Nowitzki is a very good leader. He never blames his teammates, and now he is the same In this way, the reason is very simple. Yi Jianlian joined the Mavericks as a player with a basic salary. It is already very good to have such a performance. I have no reason to blame him, and now Dirk Nowitzki will not I believe this game will fail like this.

Rick Carlisle was walking behind them. Seeing this scene, he patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder to comfort him, but he didn't say anything more. The unfavorable situation of the Clippers' recovery made him unable to say much. If there are too many words to comfort the players, they should be worried about his own countermeasures in the second half.
