Chapter 225 Little Jordan in the contract year

In this game, the biggest point difference in all the series was the game between the Clippers and the Mavericks. crash.

But after watching this game, many neutrals will naturally understand that if they don't want to solve their offense, I am afraid that the Mavericks will still face this Clippers in an unquestionable defeat in the next game.

They all began to make suggestions for this team of Mavericks. Americans have two characteristics. One is the trait of advocating individual heroism, and the other is that they will sympathize with the weaker side to a certain extent.

"I have a way. Rick lets Dirk play off the ball to attract Ann's attention, and then the players can play more comfortably." A fan with the suffix home team being Magic said so.

"Hey, the guy in front, are you sure you really think this is feasible? An is the best player in the league and the world in defending off the ball. He is fast, jumps well, has height and wingspan, and is conscious. Even Dirk It's hard to get rid of his defense, man, are you sure you're really a Magic fan and not a Clippers fan?"

"I think Ahn is a big problem. His defensive space is bigger than last year. Compared with his offense, I am more afraid of his defensive ability. He makes our offensive space smaller. , that's the biggest problem, and that's why we lost two games against them last year, and then we lost in the Western Conference playoffs."

This is a typical Mavericks fan. Last year's playoffs made him very impressed with Anson. This year's Anson has become even stronger. His defensive area is larger, and even the Mavericks' offensive lineup that was a duck to water last year completely collapsed.

The complaints of the fans are the complaints of the fans, but now it’s not just the fans who are working hard. Rick Carlisle, a master tactician, is also very distressed. While watching the team’s training, he muttered: “What to do, how to break the Clippers defense!"

At the same time, he knew very well that if he wanted to win, An Sheng must not be able to perform.As soon as the second game started, Sean Marion began to look for opportunities on the court. The purpose was simple. He wanted to run with Anson, so that he could not let him take care of the whole court and sacrifice Sean Marion. One person's scoring ability in exchange for Anson's physical strength and defensive attention is a very good deal for the Mavericks.

This trick also had a very good effect at the beginning. Sean Marion's main activity area became the two bottom corners, while Jason Terry and Vince Carter frequently pulled to the top of the arc Then rely on Dirk Nowitzki's pick-and-roll to score.

The play was very simple, but it was very effective. The Clippers played very well in the first quarter. Even so, the difference between the two teams remained at about 3 points. The two sides played a pleasing offensive battle.

It's a pity that the Clippers fans are feasting their eyes, but this is not the result the Clippers want. Their hard power this season should play better against the Mavericks, not to mention that they have always felt that they are a strong defensive team. The team let the Mavericks score 31 points in a single quarter. This is not something that people can be proud of.

"Ann! Give them some color, I'm on the inside, don't worry!" Little Jordan is not a guy with a high basketball IQ, but even he can see that the Mavericks' purpose now is to let An Sheng Independent of the Clippers' defensive system, although Sean Marion is old, the only Clippers player who can really keep up with him is Anson. Jason Richardson's speed has always been Both are one of his biggest problems.

But now, Jordan took the initiative to take on the task of assisting the defense in the interior. The Clippers decided to release Sean Marion's three-pointer just like the last game, and then use Jason Richardson and Jordan Jr. Inside and outside to limit that annoying Sean Marion.

As soon as he played in the second quarter, Vince Carter was targeted by An Sheng. One of the four major shooting guards of the year, now he is particularly embarrassed when facing An Sheng. Protecting the basketball in his hand, he had to stumble and pass the ball to Sean Marion who came down from the bottom corner.

When the ball was passed, Vince Carter had lost his center of gravity, but he still tried his best to send the ball to Sean Marion, who got rid of Jason Richardson, and pulled it directly. When he got up, he wanted to use a dunk to complete this attack. However, he was no longer the Shawn Marion who could humiliate others on top of all kinds of rim protectors in his prime. He felt powerless after only jumping about [-] centimeters. up.

This bounce is obviously not enough for him to find an offensive space in front of Jordan, whose arms completely block the position.Shawn Marion had to jump up and pass the ball.

This is a big taboo. Once you jump up and find that there is no chance to pass the ball, it is easy to be intercepted by the opponent, not to mention that in the Clippers' lineup, there are two steals kings, Anson and Chris Paul.

This time it was Chris Paul who completed the steal. As for Anson, he had already rushed forward at the first moment of the steal. This scene is no surprise to Clippers fans. They saw Chris Paul Already had a hunch when he stole the ball, this time it was An Sheng's fast break performance.

Rick Carlisle no longer had the demeanor of the first quarter off the court. He lifted the collar of his suit with his hands and frowned deeply. This was not the scene he wanted to see. Anson became active again, and Jordan seemed to be protecting the frame The above started to play a big role.

"Hey, man, if you're not scared just keep coming in, I'll show you how to walk your ass hard with a cap." Little Jordan suddenly had a smile on his face, he knew his Positioning, this year is his contract year, he doesn't need and can't play better on the offensive end, the Clippers don't need too many points from him, they just need to eat the pie that his teammates put in his mouth.

Defense, the Clippers management or other team managements who are interested in him want to know more about his offense than his offense. I am afraid that a black and tough center can accomplish those cake-eating tasks not much worse than him. He needs to show his worth on the defensive end, and the playoffs are the best stage.
