Chapter 303 303. Fighting the Clippers 2
I have to say that the Clippers are still very strong. This year, every player is in very good condition. Even if Liu Ren cut the Clippers' inside line into a sieve, they still clung to the score.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides began to rotate.

The Lakers replaced McCollum, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside.

LaVine and Clarkson still didn't get the chance to play in regular time. When the season started and they were fighting for the win, they had to sit on the bench for a long time.

The Clippers introduced some role players in the summer, and Rivers’ veteran Glenn Davis was recalled by him. It seems that he is determined to continue building the team according to the original Celtics team building method. .

Jordan Farmar, if he didn't sign with the Clippers, maybe Kupchak would either cut Henry or not sign with Clarkson, but Farmar had already joined the Clippers when Kupchak hesitated , The Lakers' lineup is therefore locked in the 15-man roster.

The Clippers players are: Farmar, Crawford, Turkoglu, Davis, Jordan.

The Lakers took the lead in the second quarter, and McCollum singled Farmar and hit a three-pointer. McCollum was much stronger than Farmar, and he was only in the second grade.

The Clippers are attacking. Farmar's arrival in the Clippers is not as free as under D'Antoni during the Lakers period. He has to hand the ball to Crawford after halftime.

Ankle terminator, when defending Crawford, Liu Ren finally understood the meaning of this title. Crawford's sudden stop and change of direction is really amazing!
But Crawford is not as fast as before!After all, I will be 35 soon, and time is not forgiving.

After Crawford made an emergency stop and changed direction, although Liu Ren was swayed a little, Liu Ren immediately returned to the defensive position to block Crawford's advance by relying on his speed advantage.

Liu Ren frowned. With Crawford's attacking style, the defender was too difficult to defend. Even if he managed to keep up, the pressure on his feet and legs would be great.

However, Liu Ren felt that Crawford would definitely not feel better, and the physical consumption of the attacking side was not much less.

Stop it!Crawford's breakthrough was blocked by Liu Ren!Crawford didn't make it to the inside after several changes of direction!Just like the first round of the playoffs last season, Crawford faced Liu Ren's defense and had no chance of breaking through into the paint.

Crawford couldn't break through Liu Ren, but he was still undaunted and continued to change direction.

Crawford made another emergency stop and changed direction. Crawford was fast, but Liu Ren was even faster!Liu Ren intercepted Crawford's change of direction with a faster speed.

Suddenly Liu Ren bumped into something, the referee's whistle sounded, a defensive foul!

Looking at Turkoglu who fell on the ground, Liu Ren felt a little helpless and pulled him up.

It turned out that Turkoglu wanted to set a pick and roll for Crawford, but he couldn't stop Liu Ren, and Liu Ren didn't notice him, so he knocked him over.

Turkoglu's medium and long-range shots are much more accurate than Jordan's, and the effect of high pick-and-roll support is much better than that of Jordan.

But Turkoglu was a little too bulky, so he couldn't stop Liu Ren at all.

If it was replaced by Jordan or Fatty Davis, the ball would be scored by Crawford.

Although he made Liu Ren a foul, Turkoglu still didn't want to confront Liu Ren again, and was hit by Liu Ren in the chest, Turkoglu was in pain for a long time before he recovered.

At Turkoglu's age, there is no need to fight Liu Ren. Just now, Kim Terry's tactical training before the season made him habitually pick and roll.

The Clippers continued to attack.

Turkoglu experienced the feeling of being hit by Liu Ren, and immediately decided to return to the bottom corner and hand over the high position to Davis.

Davis deserves to be dubbed the cliff-jumping version of O'Neal's fat man. He is full of tonnage, and his pick-and-roll awareness is also very good. Before Liu Ren judged that Crawford changed direction and made a move, he came to Liu Ren's moving route ahead of time. Many inside players don't know how to pick and roll, and are often called mobile screens, but they can't predict the running positions of teammates and opponents in advance.

And Davis has been Garnett's younger brother for several years, and has learned nothing else, but he has learned a lot about pick-and-rolls.

Davis is also considered a talented player. He weighs [-] pounds and is only [-] meters tall. He can also have the agility of the average power forward.

Davis blocked Liu Ren abruptly with his weight enough to compete with O'Neal!

Relying on Davis bravely blocking Liu Ren, Crawford broke through to the inside and faced Whiteside's help defense and moved in the air to avoid the defense and send the ball to the basket.

Playing like this, apart from Rose of the Bulls, Crawford is the only one in the league, and all his actions are torturing his knees.

But Crawford is much luckier than Rose. After playing for so many years, he is almost 35 years old, and he is still so good at jumping.

Liu Ren served, and McCollum advanced to the frontcourt and handed it to Nick Young.

The second quarter is not Liu Ren's regular offensive time. At this time, his main role is to open up space on the defensive and offensive ends.

Facing Crawford's single defense, Nick Young dribbled the ball directly under his crotch and shot a jumper.

Simple and effective, compared to Crawford's style of play, Nick Young can appear so efficient.

Nick Yang made a gesture of inserting a gun with both hands, obviously provoking the other party!
Crawford has always been the most criticized for his defensive and offensive efficiency. The ball in his hands means that the offense is over.

Both of them are well-known singles kings in the league, and now they are on the bar!

No matter how you criticize Crawford's style of play, how to explain the consequences of Crawford's style of play from science and practice, but he is so strong.

Crawford was beaten by Nick Young, and he wants to return it!
Nick Young has to prove himself, and so does Crawford.

Seeing Crawford continue to play singles with the ball, Bickerstaff and D'Antoni both smiled, and it was right to let Nick Young play singles.

Crawford originally wanted to score one or two, and started to organize the team's offense as the coach arranged. He has shown his ability to average 5 assists per game last season. During the Clippers' winning streak, he averaged 6 assists per game. The assists almost reached [-].

The Clippers' current style of play is completely different from theirs this season. The Clippers' offensive routines formed in the past two years are completely different. When the Clippers played their best last season, Crawford actually used an attractive defense Playing as a point, it turns out that the Clippers play better when he passes the ball!
The Clippers play team basketball. If the Clippers really cooperate, then Bickerstaff really has no solution.

What exactly is the job of a coach?The first is to formulate tactics, the second is to formulate countermeasures against the opponent's tactics, and the third is to respond on the spot.

A coach who does well in these three points is considered qualified.

But for coaches like Phil Jackson and Popovich, their tactics are just clouds, and their style of play has long been deeply embedded in the teams they lead.
