overlooking the pitch

Chapter 408 Fiasco
67 wins and 7 losses, breaking 70 wins does not seem to be a problem, and 72 wins are just around the corner. Now the Clippers are united, and except for Chris Paul, all other injuries have also begun to slowly return in these 11 games. They can take on more responsibilities on the offensive end, which also allows Anson to have more rest time.

But in the first game of their return except for Chris Paul, they were given a blow by the Grizzlies!There was a problem with the offense of this team. The Grizzlies' defense was very tough. The Clippers' offense was directly stunned by the inside muscle stick from the very beginning.

"Hey! What are the muscles of the two guys on the opposite side made of? Stone? Steel?" Anthony Davis is only a 19-year-old boy, and he just won the MOP directly in the NCAA. His body Among players of the same level, he is absolutely outstanding, and after coming to the NBA, Jordan's hardworking coolie is naturally the one who bears the brunt of physical confrontation.

But this team of Grizzlies and their insiders are not just one person. The black and white bears are definitely the strongest insiders in the league. Not to mention Zach Randolph, those hundreds of catties of meat Only Jordan can resist for a while, but the other big white bear, Marc Gasol, is completely different from his brother in the Lakers. He is also tall and long, but as a younger brother, he is completely different from the weak brother in the media. .

Anthony Davis opened the singles from the middle distance. One step before the free throw line was already within his range. After a dribble, he resisted and opened a step to directly press Anthony Davis to complete the offense.

This is already the fifth goal he has been forced by the black and white bears in the first quarter. The game is far more difficult than they imagined at the beginning. Anthony Davis was suppressed on the defensive end. He couldn't play offensively, which also made him very depressed. In this winning streak without Chris Paul, Anthony Davis averaged 23.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.4 blocks per game.

This statistic is gorgeous, and the media also believe that the No. [-] pick is now close to the level of an All-Star. As long as An Sheng does not decline, it is really not difficult for the two of them to become the best strikers in history in the Clippers.

But when he really faced an All-Star opponent, the gap in his confrontation, offense, and defense was undoubtedly revealed. At the beginning of this game, Anthony Davis was completely suppressed by them.

If only Anthony Davis has encountered difficulties, it is not a big problem, because their strong perimeter can help the Clippers to chase points, but their most powerful perimeter has also encountered difficulties .

Eric Bledsoe was eaten by Michael Conley to death. He has abnormal static physical talent and defensive skills at the point guard end, coupled with the help defense of two big men inside, he is fast and has good breakthrough ability Under such restrictions, Eric Bledsoe was completely inactive in the previous games, and was a little blinded by the fight.

And Jason Richardson is even more bleak. As a three-pointer and a player with a certain breakthrough ability, he is destined to only have 3 points against the Grizzlies tonight, but he met a girl who seemed to be a girl for a month. Bad condition only once.

Three shots from outside the three-point line were zero. The problem is that these shots are still point guards running out of the entire team. Now this game has become like before. Relying on An Sheng's performance to save this game a team.

But today's game verified the concerns of some commentators about the Clippers in the previous game. An Sheng is indeed an MVP-level player, but he can't be as hot as God in every game.

Especially tonight, Tony Allen opposite him is not a very easy character to get along with.This guy who averaged less than 10 points per game is the worst scoring player in the Grizzlies starting five, the lowest scoring player, there is no doubt about it.It's just that almost every game of his will appear in the spotlight for the simple reason that he will defend the core scorer on the opposite perimeter.

Their outside line has Rudy Gay, who is very physically fit, and Mike Conley, who was selected to the best defensive team as a point guard, but why is he the only one who can become the strongest on the outside line of this defensive team? Great defensive spearhead.

An Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the strong guy in front of him. He was very strict with his shooting defense, but he saw through all the changes in his center of gravity several times before he wanted to break through, and moved his center of gravity. , but he is still an object that An Sheng, the best defensive player, needs to learn from.

After the forced breakthrough, the jump shot was missed, and the black and white bears on the opposite side easily protected the backcourt rebounds. However, with the offensive habits of the opponent, they would not suddenly launch a fast break, but slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Then step by step to the basket, Marc Gasol continued to bully Anthony Davis.

no solution anymore!Can't bear it anymore, An Sheng can't just watch Anthony Davis' self-confidence on the defensive end being directly destroyed by the big man in front of him, so he hurried up to double-team.

The passing ability unique to European insiders is not fake. At the moment of double-teaming, Marc Gasol's pass was directly given to Rudy Gay. The latter accelerated instantly and went straight to the basket. Anson's shackles, the Grizzlies' top scorer Rudy Gay's state is almost like Altman who has held back his big move for 3 minutes and hits the basket directly!
After the end of the first quarter, the point difference between the two teams came to nearly 15 points!This point difference is very exaggerated. If it is an unimportant game, the coach will even plan to train.Many fans of the Clippers do not give up, thinking that this is just the inherent slowness of the Clippers. After all, although the Clippers have a high winning rate in this year's game, the probability of leading in the first quarter is only 54%. , and their nearly 9% winning rate is completely incomparable.

But in the next game, except for An Sheng's occasional showdown to complete a few beautiful heads-ups and a few good passes, the collective misfire of Anthony Davis and the role players made the Clippers fall behind by nearly 30 in three quarters. point!
91:108, even though they did not give up until the last 3 minutes, they still chased the score to within 20 points. They had no choice but to accept a disastrous defeat, 67 wins and 8 losses. In the next 7 games, they Can only accept a defeat!
