The Pope of Basketball Community - Chapter 886

All teams have a consensus that against the team led by LeBron James, they must guard against James and guard against others.

James breakthrough attracted a double-pointer, and it was easy for peripheral teammates to get a good three-point mobile phone meeting, and once the teammates opened the three-pointer, the Mavericks had a great chance of winning.

Both Paul and Matthews have made more than 40% of their three-pointers this season. Experts believe that the Mavericks have a chance to beat the Clippers because James’ three-point shooting rate has also reached 40.6%. He will make adjustments according to the situation on the court. He will play without a ball for a certain period of time. Paul holds the ball and plays inside Pick and roll.

This adjustment is very effective, and James can help the team more after shooting hard. The opponent’s anti-James method is to prevent outbursts and not to vote. For the Mavericks to break this defense, in addition to expecting James’s outside feel, he must let Paul hold the ball, James plays the pick and roll down, and the others pull the outside!

In order to deal with James, Yang Rui adjusted the lineup in the first game of the Western Conference, Jokic came off the bench, and Whiteside started.

Whiteside does not respond to the pass and cannot make a three-pointer. The advantage is that he has a strong defensive ability near the penalty area. To deal with James’ power forward who likes to rush to the basket, he needs a defensive center.

The Clippers’ tactics are mixed defense, with Curry defending Paul, Adtocumbo defending James, and three other regional defenses. In addition to Curry, the Clippers started with four defensive experts, all of whom have the strength to be selected as the best defensive lineup, and the defensive system has also exerted their own advantages.

This season, Adetokounmpo’s talent began to materialize, and he was so strong that other teams were envious.

There are only a handful of people in the league who can one-to-one PK James. There are fewer people who can compete with James in data. Only two players have played against James many times. One is Durant, the other is the letter. brother.

In the past two seasons, Alphabet Brother has always had a good performance against James’ team. Many people already think that he is the top three small forward in the league. Although the data is not yet top, the potential is much greater than Leonard. .

In Yang Rui’s previous life, Alphabet Brother and James had more than a dozen games. Although the Bucks lost most of the games, he was not beaten by James in terms of data.

James played 35.9 minutes, 25.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks. His field goal percentage was 53.7%, three-point percentage was 43.8%, and free throw percentage was 69.4%.

Brother Alphabet played 34.7 minutes, 20.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks. His shooting percentage was 54.2%, his three-point percentage was 36.7%, and his free throw percentage was 80%.

In the rookie season, the letter brother is a substitute, and the second season is only a role player, the data suffers. The two can basically explode each other by the 15-16 season. With the age of James, the data will definitely decline gradually. The peak period of the letter brother is still very long. Within a few years, he will overwhelm James in data.

The Clippers’ flanking defense is very tight. In addition to Paul and James, the Mavericks’ other players have been guarded. Nowitzki can’t help Draymond one-on-one now. He is always pushed close and pushed away from the restricted area.

Draymond’s offensive end is also the axis, responsible for the midfield organization. Jokic couldn’t make it. After the cover, he couldn’t make a triangle attack. Instead, Whiteside cut to the inside. If Curry didn’t catch the phone directly, he would take the ball to the middle, find Draymond and then play the pick-and-roll, throwing or dividing the ball to Whiteside.

The big white edge’s low position attack has become a highlight of the Clippers. It is difficult for the Mavericks to defend the restricted area, and the three centers have average strength.

In the first half, the two sides were evenly matched, and the Clippers began to take the initiative in the second half, gradually pulling the score away.

Nowitzki, 39, still averaged 14.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the regular season. In March, his career total score exceeded 30,000, becoming the sixth person in history to achieve this achievement.

Nowitzki can still play a role in the playoffs, and his physical strength can no longer be supported. He can play at most 25 minutes per game. No matter how much he can’t guarantee efficiency, the Clippers are young people. The strongest is physical strength.

In the last quarter, the gap in physical fitness between the two sides became more obvious. Yang Rui can give Curry, Alphabet Brother and Draymond a break, but Mavericks coach Carlisle dare not replace James. The Clippers relied on the backup lineups of Raven, Booker, Bamotte, West, and Jokic to withstand the Mavericks’ counterattack.

The highlight of this quarter was the marginal man Bamotte, who restricted James in a single defense. James made 1 of 4 shots in 5 minutes.

Ba Mote’s excellent defense is not accidental. The unknown and dedicated prince’s data against the star small forward can be said to be very eye-catching every time. It is a wing gate that can be relied on. He is only a poor offense, so he has not played much time. Like Prince in those days, the nickname “Prince” seems to be destined to have long arms for defense.

Jokic, Booker, and Lavin ensured the offensive firepower, keeping the point difference above 15 points, and the Mavericks were forced to stop.

After the letter brother, Curry, Draymond came back, the Clippers offense is stronger, the Mavericks rely on Paul, James to play, fell into singles, and could not narrow the points difference.

118 to 96 in the final, the Clippers easily made a good start.

The score difference in the second game was even greater. The Mavericks lost 25 points. They attacked well, but they couldn’t prevent the Clippers from running.

Due to the lack of attack power and range of the Mavericks center, the Clippers can let the letter brother, Draymond two partners inside, can not only protect the rebound, but also open up space for positional battles, especially fast sharp attack.

The letter brother can only be defended by James, and he is misaligned with other people. When he encounters a slow inside, he directly breaks through the “letter step”. When he is not tall, he can stop the jumper and hit the back.

In order to increase the maneuverability and ability to evacuate inside, James can be a power forward at a certain time, but this way, the Mavericks’ small forward position is not strong enough, and Amino and Jack Lauder have been poached with high salary.

In the third game, the Mavericks went back home to do their utmost, leading by 10 points at the end of the third quarter~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the last quarter, they were taken away by the Clippers and they lost 14 points.

In order to break the Clippers defense, Nowitzki played 35 minutes, but in the last quarter was defended into a blacksmith, defensive end can not keep up with the counterattack speed.

In the fourth game, the Mavericks finally pulled back a game at home, relying on home advantage and role player Wesley Matthews broke out.

Matthews is one of the NBA’s most successful rookies, averaging 16.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game at the peak. He is an excellent 3D player and can occasionally draw outside. This time he made 6 three-pointers and scored 26 points.

Even if the trio is 20+, the Mavericks only won the Clippers by 8 points.

Back at home, the Clippers won 123 to 100, eliminated the Mavericks 4 to 1 and advanced to the finals again.

In the decisive battle, Curry played 40 minutes, 18 of 28 shots, 11 of 17 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 52 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, playing a dominant performance.

Curry’s condition this season is not as good as last season, but as long as he takes advantage, he is invincible.

Paul only had 14 points and 8 assists in the game. Who is the league’s first point guard can conclude, Paul is in the disadvantage of the entire series. Curry’s play Paul can’t stop it, and he can’t actively pursue the pick-and-roll. It can be shot when Curry is a little free. It must be defended by a big teammate.

The alphabet brother series data is only slightly inferior to James. He always has a way to score, and he has advantages in height and wingspan. Direct jumpers are opportunities.

At the press conference after the game, James refused to answer questions from reporters and remained silent throughout. The Mavericks have no salary space to sign big-name stars, he really can’t figure out how to beat the Clippers.

James is depressed, is he destined to be the uncrowned king in his life?
