Chapter 816 [Children's Heroes]
In the second quarter of the bench contest, both sides simultaneously increased the speed of offense and defense transition.
Spurs five: Mills, Manu Ginobili, Fournier, Diaw, Bonner.
Yang Rui sent Livingston, Wesley Johnson, Guy, Parsons, Griffin.
Since Livingston got more playing time and Nash has become a marginal person, the Clippers bench should not be called the "Death Five", but the "Five Swingers". All five are over two meters tall and move fast. Can keep up with perimeter players.
The formation arranged by Yang Rui is of course a zone defense, relying on shrinking to defend the penalty area, and jumping out at any time to interfere with shooting by height.
Five players in the Spurs positional battle can open the shot, Mills and Manu Ginobili are good at breakthroughs, Diao can support from a high position, and the depth of the bench can definitely rank in the top three in the league.
Under Popovich's rotation system, no player has averaged more than 30 minutes per game this year. Even so, they are still very strong, but the player data is average, and they can't compete for MVP.
In the bench competition, the Spurs fell behind, and the Clippers played a wave of 12 to 4 to overtake the score.
The key for the Clippers to gain the upper hand is that Yang Rui replaces Griffin to rest in the first quarter. At this moment, the insider who is good at defense is not there. Whether it is counterattack or positional warfare, Griffin has an advantage on the offensive end. One-on-one Bonner and Dior can't defend well.
Griffin burst out with energy, a pick-and-roll combination received a pass from Livingston, and a dunk from Diaw won the applause of the audience.
Fournier's defense against Gay was not good enough, and his physical fitness was at a disadvantage; Livingston's 183cm tall Mills could easily post up against him, and the Spurs' defense line collapsed.
Jeff Van Gundy commented: "The starting strengths of the two sides are comparable, but the Clippers players have a higher athletic ability than the bench, and the Spurs must make a substitution."
Brin said: "When Griffin was replaced in the first quarter, his expression was ugly, and he probably wasn't very happy. I think he must have a good time now. Jerry Young deliberately let him avoid Split, Duncan."
Van Gundy nodded: "Guy also avoided Leonard. If the two played against each other, Gay would not be able to score so easily. Leonard consumed a lot of physical strength in the first quarter, and Middleton kept running in the second half. It won't work if you follow."
Yang Rui cultivated swingers, not only let them practice shooting and defense, but also let them develop in the direction of Hamilton as much as possible.
According to the new SportVU camera tracking system, Parsons and Middleton of the Clippers are model workers. As long as they don't hold the ball, they keep running and involving the opponent's defense.
The current Parsons and Yang Rui are much easier than their previous lives, because Yang Rui often arranges forward tactics. In the Rockets, Parsons used to be the player with the longest running distance in a single season in the league.
Whenever players who can only play without the ball are unwilling to practice physical fitness, Yang Rui will take football games as an example, because the running distance of basketball players in a game is not comparable to the running distance of many football players in half court. superior.
According to the relevant statistics of FIFA, the current cumulative running distance of a professional football player is 10000 meters, the worst is about 6000 meters, and the best is as high as 12000 meters. The longest international competition record recorded by the AMISCO program comes from Beckham, who ran 2001 kilometers in a single game against Greece in the 16.1 World Cup preliminaries.
Moreover, there are many NBA game suspensions and substitutions, and you can rest several times. In addition to the official suspension, you can sit on the sidelines and watch the performances of the cheerleaders. In this case, if you lack physical strength or do not want to practice, it is an attitude problem.
Popovich made adjustments and was forced to replace Bonner and replace Splitter to strengthen his defense against Griffin.
The two sides changed into starters one after another. In this quarter, the Clippers had the upper hand. Curry returned in the second half and also shot. Facing Parker, he hit two three-pointers, attracting double-teams and assisting Green to make three-pointers.
Yang Rui's rotation time was well grasped. Middleton rested for a whole quarter, allowing Parsons to let go of the fight, running and defending at all costs, waiting for Parsons to rest in the second half, and Middleton came on.
There are four rotations of the Clippers swingman position, all of which can ensure sufficient physical strength. This is only on the premise that Wesley Johnson only plays 6 minutes per game, and Parsons and Gay can play the 4th position, otherwise everyone will play time. Not enough, not good to play.
As for the rookie Allen Crabbe, it is difficult to make the roster this season, so he can only follow the training, and then go to the NBDL team to play to find the state.
This is a great exercise for Crabbe, because the owner Sterling is stingy, the Clippers are one of the few clubs in the league that cannot have their own affiliated teams, and the Los Angeles Defenders under the Lakers are not allowed after the rise of the Clippers. Their players joined, and Crabbe had to go to the Warriors' affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.
Yang Rui is ready to invest to build a Clippers-affiliated NBDL team next season. Of course, he has to wait for Sterling's farce to end.By then, the Clippers will become more flexible in their employment.A few players could be sent to G League practice or games and called back before an NBA game, which is the current model for many clubs.
The Clippers led 55-48 at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Spurs attacked with Parker and Ginobili as the core, and others defended.Yang Rui also sent a defensive lineup, relying on the star to attack and grind the position.
Seeing that Ginobili missed his shot, Popovich did not dare to replace Mills to play a double guard, and the score continued to widen.
Before the Spurs often used dual guards, is the killer.Because of Mills' progress, they let go of the single-minded Gary Neal in the summer.The Spurs can't play like this today. The Clippers' shortest Curry is 190CM, and Mills is definitely not good at defending.
83 to 67 into the final quarter, the Spurs veteran Duncan suddenly began to show his power.
Duncan didn't play for a long time in the first three quarters, and his appearances were mainly defensive. The offensive end pulled out screens, responded to passes, and gave the shots to young players.When his teammates couldn't open, Duncan began to take more shots and became the team's offensive axis.
He singled out Chandler and scored 4 points in a row, cut and dunked after the pick-and-roll, attracted double-teams in the penalty area to assist Leonard, and Belinelli made a three-pointer, leading the team to play a wave of 18-5, recovering the score.
Will Duncan ever get old?This is as much a fan of the league as Mutombo's age and Durant's height. In 1997, Duncan shocked fans because he was 21 years old and looked 40 years old with his stern look.Now he's almost 40 years old, but his looks haven't changed much, and he's doing the same thing on the court as he was 21 years old.
It is not easy for Duncan to maintain good form at this age, because he has already won all the individual honors, has three championship rings, and he can enter the retirement state in his career after that.However, Duncan has always been reluctant to admit defeat, and has adapted to the trend of the league by losing weight, practicing boxing, and controlling his diet.
He is old, but never out of style, he can take on core responsibilities and is willing to help young players grow.
Duncan was interviewed and asked why he had everything and yet lived an ascetic life.Duncan replied: "I like the feeling of flying with my teammates and going to a road game together."
In fact, he has been changing, the only thing that has not changed is his pure heart.It is not the tears that fill your eyes to be called youth, nor is it that you are reckless and bloody, you are young.
Duncan, who doesn't brush data and doesn't like to be in the limelight, is the one who really loves basketball.
