Chapter 808 [Is this kid crazy? 】

Before the start of the game, the Clippers arranged a championship ring awarding ceremony at home, and separately issued Chris Paul's ring last season to thank him for his dedication to the team in the previous three years.

This little detail made Paul feel extremely comfortable. It wasn't that he left the Clippers, and the other party didn't take him as a hero. The home fans also gave him warm applause and did not regard his departure as a betrayal.

Of course, Donald Sterling did not think of it. It was proposed by Yang Rui at a meeting with the management.They give Paul enough respect, so that everyone can see the humanity of the Clippers management, and there will be more big-name freelancers willing to join in the future.

The game begins.

Clippers starting: Curry, Green, Middleton, Griffin, Chandler.

Mavericks starting: Paul, Ray Allen, Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol.

Griffin didn't know what to think about this game that was broadcast live in the United States, and volunteered to earn the ball.As a result, he failed to bully Pau Gasol, but made a joke. He jumped with all his strength without seeing the height of the ball, and made an empty...

Relying on the 1CM bounce, Pau Gasol turned his toes and won the jump ball unexpectedly. This rare scene should be selected as one of today's top five.

Paul took the ball to the three-point line, hit the ground and passed the ball to Nowitzki in the right corner, standing at 70 degrees, and formed a triangle with Ray Allen in the bottom corner.

Nowitzki catches the ball with his back, and Chandler is the main defender.He leaned on Chandler twice, turned to the middle of the road and made a pullback jumper, making a "Golden Rooster Independence". Chandler was right in front of him. 0 to 2.

Last season, Novez only played 53 games due to his genetic injury. This season, he recovered from the injury. In the beginning, he averaged 33 minutes per game, scored 22.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists, while shooting 49.7% from the field and 40.3% from three-point range. Free throws are also 90%.

As a 35-year-old veteran, Nowitzki has maintained his state very well, temporarily ranking ninth in the league in efficiency value, just higher than the Clippers' Griffin.

Even now that Dirk Nowitzki is a veteran, Yang Rui dare not let Griffin defend him. Chandler can't cover this move and turn to "Golden Rooster Independence". Griffin's single defense can only be watched. Arrange double-team tactics.

The Clippers are man-to-man and can guard against the perimeter [-]-pointer as usual.

The Clippers attacked. Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Four of his teammates were separated, two on the outside and two in the low post. The middle gave up an open space and let Curry and Paul go one-on-one.

The star one-on-one is the most direct and most attractive way of attacking fans.Curry dribbled the ball to the left first, then dribbled the ball to the right to take a step back, and quickly shot, Paul immediately jumped up and blocked the shot. The judgment was accurate, but he missed it.

The two have been teammates for three years, often dueling one-on-one, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses.In the case of knowing the bottom line, the person who suffers is Paul, because he is only 183cm tall, and his ability to prevent jumpers is a weakness, and jumpers happen to be Curry's stunt.

Curry was a little excited about Paul. He didn't grasp the strength of the first ball and shot out of the frame, but the offense was not over yet, and Griffin rushed to grab the offensive rebound.

Nowitzki's offense is still very strong, and his ability to control rebounds has inevitably declined. His physical quality has dropped a lot. It is pure floor flow, and his bounce at his peak can't be compared with Griffin.

Griffin was not strong enough to get the basketball, and he divided the ball out again. Gasol Jr. was very good at defending the penalty area. He had seen it many times, and everyone was an old opponent.

On the outside, Green received the ball and leaned against Ray Allen to protect it. Curry and Chandler ran to the left bottom corner without the ball in the middle. Paul was blocked, and Green divided the ball.

Curry isn't going to be one-on-one with Paul from start to finish, he's going to use everything he's good at.He received a dislocation on the court, and Gasol was slow to switch defenses. This is the biggest weakness of the Mavericks center.

Curry took the ball and floated and shot, and Gasol tried his best to save the interference, and the ball flew to the basket before he could take off.After Curry threw the ball, his body went off the bottom line. Most players had to hit the iron for this kind of drifting action, but Curry felt amazing in his hand, and he threw a perfect arc by feeling and entered the net hollow. 3 to 2.

On the sidelines, Carlisle took a deep breath when he saw this performance. Compared with 11, Curry has improved too much. It is difficult to prevent him from dislocation of Pau Gasol and Nowitzki. Let’s see now. Can the offense of the Mavericks overwhelm the Clippers?

Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Gasol Jr. screened in the middle to help Paul get rid of Curry and made a breakthrough on the left.

Griffin switched defenses in time, Curry pursued the defense with all his strength, and Paul distributed the ball to the middle.Griffin immediately let go of Paul to pounce on Pau Gasol. It was a step too late. Pau Gasol was too familiar with this kind of coordination. 3 to 4.

The Clippers attacked. Curry dribbled the ball to avoid Paul's steals by relying on the width of the court. Griffin screened after halftime to help Curry get rid of it.

Nowitzki is near the three-point line to prevent breakthroughs and not to prevent shots, and the station is already relatively far out. Unexpectedly, Curry's middle road is three meters away from the three-point line. Shot, usually there is no time before someone is in this position cast.

Nowitzki didn't step up to interfere. He didn't think this kind of ball could go in. Even though Curry's shot looked beautiful, he turned his head and saw the ball fly into the basket. 6 to 4.

Joined the TNT Deyun Club, and the "big shark" O'Neal, who was in charge of the commentary, shouted: "My God, I have never seen a point guard shoot so accurately. Is this kid crazy?"

Barkley said with a smile: "Someone posted a video of Curry practicing three-pointers in the midfield in the summer. Even at this distance, he can't be allowed to shoot. He has practiced."

Kenny Smith said: "Although Curry is strong, I don't recommend young players to imitate him. If they throw two steps outside the three-point line, it is estimated that more than half of them will be three non-stick. Small players must practice basic skills before thinking about it. kind of thing."

Paul was also taken aback. He knew that Curry had been practicing midfield three-pointers in the team, but he never thought that he would be naive enough to guarantee the hit rate. If Curry made several shots at a time, how would the game play?

The Mavericks attacked, Paul and Gasol played a pick-and-roll attack on the left, Griffin switched defense, and Paul passed the ball to the middle.

Curry didn't chase this time, and stood in front of Pau Gasol. Although he only had 190CM, Pau Gasol also gave up his shot. His mid-to-long-range shots only had a high percentage of open shots, and Curry could interfere slightly.

Pau Gasol held high and played high, giving play to another of his strengths and supporting him from a high position.Nowitzki moved to the middle, and he passed the ball over Curry's head.

Nowitzki leaned against Chandler and turned to the right, feinting with the ball in both hands. Chandler was experienced and only raised his hands close to his body without jumping.Nowitzki's offensive rhythm was disrupted and the ball was passed out again.

Ray Allen caught the ball and was entangled by Green. He didn't have a direct shot, and he couldn't make a breakthrough. He took a step inside the three-point line to protect the basketball with his back, and then looked for Paul.

Paul controlled the ball to observe the movement of his teammates. Nowitzki gave Ray Allen a screen from the side. Chandler stood outside, and Ray Allen still didn't have a direct shot when he received the ball. This is the advantage of strong interior mobility.

Ray Allen passed it to Nowitzki. Nowitzki took a step and was blocked by the retreating Griffin. He is now too slow in air cutting and has little power in hitting the basket. Well, Chandler is in place again.Chandler's awareness is top-notch in both solo defense and assist defense.

Seeing that 24 seconds were used up, Ray Allen missed the basket in the face of Green's defense, and the rebound was grabbed by Chandler.

Carlisle folded his arms on the sidelines with a serious expression, the Mavericks are not easy to play, and the Clippers' defense is stronger than them.
