Chapter 172 Aircraft Carrier
Such a big advantage was achieved in the first quarter, and it also set the tone for this game. In front of the Clippers, the only stable offensive point for the Warriors was not Monta Ellis, who claimed to be the second shooting guard in the league. Not that unreasonable [-]-point shooter Stephen Curry, but David Lee, whom they spent a lot of money to snatch from the Knicks last year.
Stable mid-range shooting and inside singles ability are the Warriors' best offensive methods, but what followed was Dorrell White's air cut and breakthrough. Anson's running to defend Monta Ellis also gave him more room to play.
However, it is not them that the Warriors can rely on to win the victory, but the two guards who are firmly watched by the "security" combination. They are the foundation of the Warriors' victory. The loss of the two guards makes the Warriors unable to play what they want. Want to attack.
On the defensive end, the Warriors have also experienced a huge test. The strength of the "Security" combination is not only their defense, but also their offense is absolutely terrible when playing pick-and-rolls.
Pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Chris Paul was directly double-teamed to delay his pass, a beautiful pass directly penetrated the double-team of Stephen Curry and Dorell White, in the period of the Hornets, such Double-teaming delays are child's play.
What's more important is his teammate An Sheng's excellent running position. He didn't go straight down, but ran laterally to avoid Chris Paul's blind spot, allowing Chris Paul to pass the ball more comfortably. come out.
The moment he caught the ball, he made a mid-range shot, and the basketball hit the net.At the end of last season, apart from the breakthrough layup of the counterattack and the occasional three-pointer, the finishing method of the two skills was a mid-range shot. The skill effect can maintain a good effect except in the first game. After that, even though this set of moves was performed very well, the final score was still linked to An Sheng's mid-range shooting ability.In this summer's training, An Sheng focused his training on jump shots and three-pointers.
The pick-and-roll of Anson and Chris Paul has become one of the biggest killers of the Clippers on the offensive end. The subsequent catch can become the point where Chris Paul and the inside link are connected. The combination of two passes refers to the combination of guys who play where and where to hit, which makes the Warriors desperate.
Blake Griffin's two consecutive alley-oop offensive methods are exactly the same. The pick-and-roll tearing defense of the "security" combination makes the opposite inside defense change, and Anson's pass after receiving the ball gives a fatal blow.
The Clippers, who are leading by a large score, started to play more casually on the offensive end. Anson received a pass from Chris Paul twice and hit a three-pointer directly. He scored 26 points, 20 of which came from Chris Paul's assists, and the task was completed in the first half. Chris Paul scored 12 assists in the first half, and 9 assists were given to Anson.
At the beginning of this transaction, there were some doubts about whether Chris Paul and Anson could coexist well. Anson was the team's assist leader last season, with an average of 6.8 assists per game. Second only to LeBron James among small forwards.
They think that the arrival of Chris Paul will suppress Anson's performance. Many Anson fans think that it just takes time, and Anson will become a guy who dominates the league like LeBron James.
Now in the first half of the first game, all the fans who hold this view have completely shut up. Chris Paul played very well, with 14 points and 12 assists. Anson's performance was not inferior, with 26 points. With 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, the appearance of Paul has greatly liberated Anson's strength off the ball. He doesn't need to think about how to help his teammates all the time.Halftime, just halftime, this Christmas game turned into garbage time.
"71 points in the first half, my God, maybe this will become the record for scoring in the halftime this season! The Clippers' offense is really too strong!" Chris Webber couldn't help shaking his head, feeling overwhelmed by this offensive power. fear!
"Jason and Blake are really comfortable playing. Every shot of the two of them is an excellent opportunity. Jason has scored 14 points in the first half, but I think that position is mine. Already scored 20 points!"
"If I played in Blake's position, I would have already scored 30 points!" When it comes to bickering, Chris Webber would never shrug.
Unknowingly, the two guys who are not giving in to each other have combined the effect of "security guards" on the field infinitely magnified!However, the fact is also true. At the beginning of the second half, the two of them gave the Warriors an 8-0 climax before they started the game. The Warriors fans seemed to see the hope of a comeback, and their passion returned in an instant. Just like the Black Eight legend in 07, it was as exciting.
It's a pity that with the return of the "security" combination, the Warriors' offense was suddenly contained again. The Warriors who attacked from the outside lacked a guy who absolutely opened up the space. The Clippers' defense made the Warriors instantly lose the ability to resist. Three quarters After clocking out of work, on the Clippers' bench, there was a happy situation. This game made the whole team very satisfied.
94:131, the Warriors lost 37 points at home. Many disappointed Warriors fans left the arena at the end of the third quarter. They could not bear to see their team continue to be slaughtered. Paul's 16 assists, Anson The 36 points are the highest data of all teams today.
Among the five opening Christmas games, this one between the Clippers and the Warriors may be the least eye-catching. There are no giants, and the strength of last season was not so strong. There are no superstars except Chris Paul. , But this game made the headlines on ESPN, even surpassing Derrick Rose's lore against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The reason is simple. They scored 71 points in the first half. It can be said that if the Clippers work hard and don't let their starting players clock out in three quarters, it would be extremely easy to score 140 points. I was shocked by the performance of the ship. This Clippers is like an aircraft carrier. Chris Paul is the commander of the aircraft carrier, and Anson is the strongest fighter on the aircraft carrier with various combat methods. Blake Griffin and Jordan is the bomber being fed cakes, and Jason Richardson is the ship-borne missile with the longest range. The Clippers, who perform their duties, have set off like a real aircraft carrier this season.
