Chapter 137
In the Clippers training facility in Los Angeles, whether it is the Clippers' head coach or players, they are very young. At the same time, they do not have enough ability to withstand this pressure. This game fully felt the charm of the playoffs, but also felt the pressure.
While overseeing the training of the players on the field, Del Negro was also thinking about how he should deal with the Dirk Nowitzki paired with two small guards that the Mavericks suddenly replaced in the third quarter. Looking at the cards in my hand, the opponent's Jason Terry and Jose Barea scored 7 three-pointers and sent 10 assists in the last game.
The power forward and the two guards were completely destroyed, and An Sheng's help defense could not wipe their ass every time, let alone him. In a team with a large space like the Mavericks, the two It is very difficult for Ansheng to complete such a task, not to mention that Ansheng is the sharpest offensive knife in the Clippers. He needs to maintain enough oppression on the offensive end. This is a young 19-year-old For rookies, the requirements for personal domination on both ends of the offense and defense are really a bit high.
"Small lineup? We also use a small lineup?" Just when Del Negro was a little helpless, an assistant came forward and put forward a new point of view. They asked the Clippers to abandon the original style of play and change to Smaller lineup.
"Small lineup?" Del Negro frowned. It's not impossible, but among the two insiders, they should undoubtedly give up one, Blake Griffin?This is the No. [-] pick, the team's scoring leader in the regular season, Jordan?Then you can live alone on the court exhausted to wipe the buttocks of all your teammates.
It sounds really difficult, but this seems to be the only way to deal with the Mavericks' small lineup, but if you play a small lineup, then the focus is on the defense of the two guards, and you can no longer easily let the opponent's The defender directly took the Clippers' penalty area as if it were a back garden and wandered casually.
In TNT's analysis, the Clippers' restricted area and Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco are called the two major tourist attractions in California, and Mavericks players can visit for free.
At ten o'clock in the evening, for Los Angeles, a city of angels, their nightlife has just begun. For local tyrants who usually look like NBA players, after a day of training, go to a famous local nightclub to relax. For them It's part of everyday life.But tonight, the Clippers' training hall can still hear the "bang bang" sound of the basketball colliding with the floor.
"Right, right, get stuck, and when defending pick-and-rolls, you must resolutely go around the pick-and-roll. I would rather let them go around the pick-and-roll to shoot than let them have too good an open position in the pass-and-cut coordination." The voice was a bit crisp. , thus sounding youthful.But if you see the owner of this voice, it is indeed very young. That is, can a 19-year-old rookie who is also an assistant defensive coach look young?
"Ann! Sorry, I asked you to practice with us so late." Eric Gordon's round face was full of bitterness, and he and Eric Bledsoe's defense These few games have been criticized a lot, and tonight they continued to strengthen their defensive training after the three-point training, and An Sheng is now their defensive coach.
At the same time, An Sheng also accompanied the team's defenders to practice defense, thinking that he should also selectively defend on the defensive end. The offensive end is very important, but he believes that his teammates will not be depressed until the third game. I encountered Waterloo at home, and I should put more focus on the defensive end. I can't let the Mavericks still easily score high points in the third game. The previous evaluation of their defense is like An Sheng, who is determined to win the next time. It's a shame for the best defensive player to target the player.
"Okay! It's time to go back, boys, save some energy and get ready for tomorrow's game!" The Clippers staff who came over said to them with a smile. This middle-aged white man in his 40s was named Chris James. He is a Los Angeles native, and he is not a Lakers fan like many Los Angeles natives. He has been a Clippers fan for nearly 20 years. Even if you fail, don’t be afraid of failure, you are still welcome in this training hall this summer!”
The few people who had just received high-intensity training heard that Xia Tian was going to be like this, and immediately ran away in fright. The first home game of the playoffs was right in front of them. It was nothing to be crazy about their performance, but after soaking in the training hall all summer, The thought in the mind of the two extremely talented defenders named Eric is to spare me.
The staff shook their heads with a smile, and looked at the young guys who were rushing to the locker room: "Come on! Let us see you differently tomorrow!"
The home game is coming, and the Clippers fans who have not played in the playoffs for several years have come to the Staples Center early. After all, at this time, their season has already ended. A few days ago, the Lakers just came here :2 leading the Blazers, and the Clippers fans hope that the Lakers can bring such good luck to themselves.
"Home, youth, experience! These can all be the reasons for your failure in the first two games, but now at home, I don't want to use the same reason to go to the tens of thousands of people who came to the scene after this game. The audience explained." Mark Evaroni said very seriously, "The offense can be bad, but I want to see our attitude on the defensive end."
This sentence made the Clippers' defensive attitude very positive as soon as they came on the court. Tyson Chandler succeeded in jumping the ball, Jason Kidd advanced after receiving the basketball, but just when he was about to organize the team's offense , he found that Randy Foye's defense against him was very aggressive, and he had no chance to use a good angle to send the ball to the person who should pass it to.
On the other side, Blake Griffin's defense is equally fierce. Dirk Nowitzki will make himself ugly after receiving the ball. It's so simple that he can't receive the ball comfortably. The front defense, coupled with Randy Foye's interference on Jason Kidd's end, ended the first possession with nothing in Dirk Nowitzki's hands.
