Chapter 429 Sit on the Diaoyutai
The Clippers' change ended in failure, with the Nuggets leading by 11 points at halftime.
In fact, the most conventional routines are the most stable. Odd tricks can sometimes play a role, mainly when they are highly targeted, and the effect is still weakened in the playoffs.
The other thing is to look at the opponent's reaction. Xiang Chu has played many simulated games before. He can respond immediately to any changes in the Clippers, and then command his teammates on the court.
It is not necessarily the point guard who commands the field, but more the team leader.
With Xiang Chu's status in the team, his teammates would listen to his command, so if the opponent wants to win by cleverness, it must be unpredictable, and changes in ordinary tactics are useless at all.
In the third quarter, the Clippers played the most commonly used tactics honestly. Griffin was the main attacker, and Paul was responsible for passing the ball between Griffin and Redick.
The most commonly used tactics are the most stable, and the scores of the two sides have not continued to expand.
The team played back and forth with the Nuggets, but Rivers was bitter.
The Nuggets are in the lead, they did not let the score gap continue to widen, but they did not catch up.
The current lineup of the Clippers is not bad, they are always unable to break through, both the coach and the players are under a lot of pressure.
Like Paul, it is often uncomfortable to be ridiculed and unable to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
However, there is no sympathy in competitive sports. To reach a sufficient height, one must have strong strength.
Paul also tried a few strong attacks in this quarter, and he was also a little anxious.
Although it is the second game, they have no hope at all in their current style of play. It is not terrible to fall behind 0:2, but the terrible thing is that they will become more passive if this continues.
The Nuggets' current defensive strategy is simpler, that is, to prevent accidents from happening. It doesn't matter if Griffin and Paul score points.
When the game is leading, both offense and defense can be much calmer.
When it came to the rotation period, Crawford still didn't perform well enough.
This is also related to the Clippers' tactics. Crawford has the ability to shoot three-pointers with the ball, and Rivers also hopes that he can surprise the team.
Crawford is not a prudent style of play, so this arrangement is not wrong.
It's just tactics. If it succeeds, it will be the rebirth of Zhuge, and if it fails, it will be nonsense.
Anyway, the seemingly indiscriminate tactics of the Clippers' substitute players did not bring any benefits to the Clippers.
At this time, neither side has the main force. At the Nuggets' home court, the Clippers are also very restrained.
If the other party is like this, the Nuggets themselves will definitely not be in a hurry, it is the last move and will not be used easily.
The Clippers want to wait for an opportunity. If the Nuggets have a small problem or something, they will have the opportunity to show their last strength and go all out.
However, even when Xiang Chu was off the court, the Nuggets played very steadily.
The Clippers' rotation is not terrible if Crawford can't play at a high level.
The Nuggets' bench lineup doesn't seem to be very well paid, but its strength has surpassed most of the league's rotation lineup.
Four minutes after the start of the final quarter, the Clippers were the first to be unable to hold back, and the trailing side will definitely make adjustments first.
Although Crawford's performance was not very good, in the end the Clippers still put him together with the main force. They must have players who can create some possibilities in their lineup.
However, this time may not be a good way.
Barnes hit a three-pointer, but before the Clippers' counterattack was fully launched, Middleton and Gallinari hit three-pointers successively.
It can be said that the Clippers players were immediately discouraged.
Time entered the last few minutes, and the Clippers felt that there was no good move, that is, Paul and Griffin took turns to attack.
Of course, it is impossible for the Nuggets to hand over their advantages to others, and Xiang Chu is playing steadily in the paint.
The Clippers found that the situation was irreversible at 1 minute and 45 seconds, so they put on a substitute player and surrendered voluntarily.
After the game, Rivers was also a little depressed. He said, "It's useless to say anything now. We lost, so go back to Los Angeles and see you again."
George Karl said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. Going away, we will continue to maintain our current state. We will not only play at home."
"The Clippers showed a strong desire to survive today. Unfortunately, they failed to lead the team to victory. Our coaching staff has a deep study of the Clippers, and the players know what to do. This is how we win. reasons, not other factors."
The media said that the Clippers completely lost in the paint.
"The Nuggets have a great advantage on the rebounds. I can't be sure that the Clippers have a problem with their mentality, but the inside line does suffer a lot. Jordan may be due to mentality and other factors, and the defensive deterrence is not enough. The Clippers are a bit lost in the interior defense. .”
Xiang Chu wanted to blame Jordan for this point, not because the other party performed poorly, but whoever replaced him.
The Nuggets played early in the second round, and there will be two days of adjustment time between the home and away games.
In addition to training, Xiang Chu also deliberately set aside time to spend with his family, who will keep him fighting.
When the child was just born, family members from both sides came to visit.
Now that Olivia is at home, and with her body recovering, she feels much better.
Playing with the children will not be boring, and she also organizes fan activities online before and after the game.
She is no longer in charge of such an organization to watch the excitement, she is now a special guest.
"Kill the Clippers, kill the Warriors, and then successfully defend the title, and then have fun with us." Olivia arranged the rest of her life in a few words.
"Someone actually questioned your re-election as the MVP of the regular season. These ignorant guys were scolded to death before I made a move. When you win the MVP of the finals, you will be mad at them."
Xiang Chu must agree with his wife's trust, but it's no problem for him to be the MVP of the regular season.
Although the team has made some adjustments this season, they are still number one in the regular season. He himself is the leader in scoring, rebounding and blocks. Whoever performed better than him.
In fact, the data has not improved much, and the score has dropped, but this season there is no score of 30+.
Xiang Chu's competitor James also said: "Xiang Chu is the catalyst of the team. His performance this season is still unbelievable. He deserves the MVP."
There is no doubt that this season will be another harvest season for Xiang Chu's personal honor.
But if there is no successful defending, these honors will be discounted, and Xiang Chu will work harder.
And in the playoffs, he has attracted more and more attention, and his popularity has risen very fast.
Not only the attention from fans and media all over the world, but also the attention of capital.
Nike has raised prices several times, and other brands of sneakers have also contacted Jim Smith privately, but they are not in a hurry at all. He has enough strength to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
