Chapter 1088
The most important reason why Lao Li is willing to choose Bass' space lineup is that he believes in the team's perimeter defense ability.Why did the Cavaliers "suicide 5" in the first place? You let Love play the defensive paper as a center, Crowder with a height of 198cm plays a power forward, and Thomas Jr. with a height of 175cm in the backcourt after injury and JR, whose defense no longer exists. The striker is a 34-year-old man who has always wanted to paddle in the regular season.With such a lineup, no matter whether you are single-defense or cooperative defense, you have no resources, so what if you have a defensive system?But it's not soft...

The overall height of the Clippers lineup is not low, and Patterson is also 206cm, so all 3 of their frontcourt players are 206cm, and the average height of the 5 players is close to 2 meters, which can no longer be regarded as the dead 5.

The Nuggets coach Ma Long did not expect Lao Li to make a change at the beginning of the second half. He understood the opponent's intention at a glance, that is, to space and to attack.The Clippers' offense in the first half was not good. In the final analysis, it was unable to use the opportunities created by Xie Kai to punish the opponent, which made the offense appear sluggish.And Zubac was rubbed by the teacher, which made the coaching staff lose patience.

The second half of the game started quickly.

The Clippers' strategy is that if it's Murray and the teacher's pick-and-roll, more local defense and less defense, try to rotate as much as possible, and selectively miss 3 points from the weak side to test the 3-point ability of the Nuggets' weak-side players.Once someone else screens without the ball or picks and rolls with the ball, switch directly.If Mr. Yue takes Patterson in the low position, go to a deeper position and then pinch. If he wants a fadeaway jumper, let him shoot it.

On the offensive end, the Clippers have a very wide space. The "5Out lineup" has a really good sense of space. All five players stand outside the 5-point line, forcing the opponent to pounce.

With a top singles scorer + top space user like Xie Kai, with such a space lineup, flanking means letting the opponent shoot open 3 points.

Before Zubac, the Nuggets could selectively let go, but they didn’t dare to let go of Patterson’s 3-pointers easily. This season, Patterson’s open 3-pointers shot more than 4%. You let him shoot , he can really get in.

Coach Ma Long didn't expect that Lao Li, who had always been somewhat conservative before, would be so bold. He adopted such a radical approach to deal with the team's internal defensive deficiencies, using offense to make up for defense, and directly playing the frontal battlefield instead of playing roundabout tactics. .

As soon as the team's offensive space came out, George lived, and Morris Jr. also lived.They can use the opponent to switch defenses on the spot, misplaced to attack Murray. If the opponent switches defenses, Xie Kai can attack anyone on the opponent. Military training appointments with teachers, Mass, and flanking allow teammates to practice 3 points, which is simply too cruel.

Teacher Yue's ability to switch defenses is very average. He is not thick-browed, and his advantage is on the offensive end.This is why Mitchell can reach 50+, that is, to use the pick-and-roll to target the teacher.

A guard with the pick-and-roll shooting ability and the ability to play the ball is the nemesis of the slow center. This is true.

Xie Kai's ability in this area is top-notch. When the attack space is released, when the opponent dare not attack easily, the consequences can be imagined.

The Clippers' fault tolerance rate is too high, so they can tolerate Patterson, Morris Jr. and Beverley's open 3-pointers.But even so, the other party still didn't dare to let it go completely.This is the penalty deterrence of the space lineup.

After the Clippers showed their bayonets, the Nuggets couldn't stop them. The evenly matched situation changed, and the balance of victory tilted towards the Clippers.

In the end, the Clippers won G4 and led the series 3:1.

For the Nuggets, this big score is really familiar. In the last round, they reversed and killed the Jazz, but now they are not optimistic about the situation. The opponent is different. Can the Jazz compare with the Clippers?Or can Mitchell compare with Xie Kai?
In G9 on September 14th, the Clippers were still Patterson's starting lineup. They have completely abandoned Zubac. They no longer think he can limit the appointment of teachers. They just want to use super offense to defeat the Nuggets .

Coach Ma Long is also very difficult. It is really restrictive to ask a teacher on the defensive end, but he has to.

The Nuggets' wing 3-point ability is actually mediocre. Grant has improved, but he is still not a shooter-level 3-pointer. As for Craig, Harris, and Porter, they are all nerve knives, and Harris is even a nerve knife. no more.

The Clippers are not afraid of the Nuggets' flanking attack power. Their fault tolerance rate is too high, and this attack power can't kill them.What they are afraid of is that Teacher Yue and Murray will join forces to show their power. These two people can not only score high scores by themselves, but also drive their teammates, which is very tricky.

The rhythm of the game is in the hands of the Clippers. In the end, they made another victory without giving the opponent a chance to reverse. They took away the Nuggets 4:1 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

This is the first time in the history of the Clippers to advance to the conference finals. This team, founded in 1970, finally reached the conference finals in 2020!

It has been 50 years, and half a century has passed, this team has finally created a new team history record!
Being able to become a part of history is naturally a very happy thing. The Clippers players are very happy. I didn’t expect to be swept in the first round a season ago. After a season, I have become a member of the Western Conference Finals. There is even a chance to hit the championship!
The Clippers' opponents in the Western Conference Finals have also come out. The Lakers swept the Rockets 4:1 without bloodshed and entered the Western Conference Finals.

In this way, the finale of the Los Angeles Derby will be staged in the Western Conference Finals!
Even if the game can't be played in the Staples, but in the Orlando bubble, it is still enough to make basketball fans who follow the NBA crazy all over the world.

Xie Kai + Pickled Pepper VS James + Thick Eyebrow, isn't this kind of duel really not exciting enough?
The Chinese fans of the Lakers also let out a sigh of relief, because they can finally watch the home team's game through regular channels, and Mosaic is finally eliminated.

The first game of the Western Conference Finals will start on September 9th. The decisive battle has not yet begun, and the smoke has already begun to fill the air!
In this round of the series, there will be no one-sided support for anyone. If it weren't for the Clippers' thanks, it is estimated that there would be very few people supporting the Clippers.Many people have always believed that the Clippers team has no championship.

A lot of it is like this, unless you have done it, they don't think you can do it, even if you do have the ability.

Thank you, they are going to make history now. If your team has never won a championship, people don't think you have the championship gene and the ability to win the championship!
O'Neal said on TNT that the Clippers have never won a championship, and Los Angeles has only one king!
