Chapter 533 The Prosperity of the Small Forward
The Clippers started this year exceptionally smoothly. There was almost nothing that could stop their team. In the previous 5 games, they clocked in three quarters in each game. For the Clippers, winning such a Victory is already a very normal thing.

Defeated the Nuggets 107:91. Without Andre Iguodala, the Nuggets are even more difficult to resist the ravages of Anson this season. In the current team, there is no small forward who can match up with others. What a disaster.

In this prosperous age of small forwards, the top three MVPs will always be those three people, Anson, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, not to mention the platinum 03 generation with LeBron James, now Carmelo Anthony, who is still a top small forward, and a rising star, and the Heat led by LeBron James fought for 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals Pacers core Paul George, the new core of the Spurs Kawhi Leon Nader, of course, can't forget Anson's old partner Gordon Hayward, and Andre Iguodala just mentioned, these people have jointly achieved the current prosperity of the small forward.

Among the five teams currently playing against the Clippers, none of them is considered a good small forward in front of Ansheng. From the collapse of this point, it has affected the offensive and defensive operations of the entire team.

Not only the Clippers have an excellent record, but also other teams with small forwards from these teams. The Heat with 5 wins and 1 loss, the Knicks with 5 wins and 1 loss, the Warriors with 4 wins and 1 loss, and the Warriors with 5 wins and 1 loss. The Pacers lost, the Spurs lost 4 wins and 0 losses, and even the Jazz, a team that was not optimistic about making the playoffs at the beginning, sent away Al Jefferson and Paul Mirza Pu also got a record of 3 wins and 2 losses after righting Gordon Hayward.

Whether there is an excellent small forward seems to be the key to whether they are a top team. Even the Grizzlies pay attention to the inside offense and play positional warfare and rely on the rotation of the inside and point guards. At the small forward position, there is a defensive gate Tony Allen. Even if he can't play an advantage in this position, he will definitely not be able to be blown up. But obviously, in the Western Conference semifinals last year, Tony Allen also failed. Stop Anson's solo show.

Whether it is ESPN or Sports Illustrated, they have already discovered this problem for a long time, but before it was just a double-star competition between LeBron James and Kevin Durant, but with Anson and Paul George and Kawhi The rise of Leonard, the three little guys who have entered the league and have not spent their rookie contracts, especially Anson's championship and double MVP.These media have to start to face up to this fact.

Last year's top five in the league were the Clippers, Heat, Thunder, Pacers, and Spurs. Interestingly, their current core players are all their small forwards, without exception.This makes it easier to see how much influence the small forward has on the league now.

As the double MVP and championship last season, Anson was the object that many people wanted to challenge, but they thought too simply. Even when Anson was not in good condition, the Clippers team was enough. Ability to help him win.

前面10场比赛之中，安生场均能够拿下34.7分，7.3次助攻6.4个篮板和4.1次抢断以及2.3次盖帽，而在这10场比赛之中，安生再一次拿下了两次5X5的数据。

First, he scored 31 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 6 steals and 5 blocks against the Kings. In that game, Anson watched every steal and every block. , this place is the home court of the Kings, the Sleep Train Arena, and Anson directly used a wonderful performance to turn this place into the Staples Center. At the end of the game, almost all the Kings fans were cheering Anson cheered.

In another game, they faced the Clippers' old enemy last year, the Rockets that injured Chris Paul. In this game, the Clippers also played more desperately than previous games. In normal times, if they win by [-] points, they may not be so serious about playing, and everyone will start to clock out of work in the normal three quarters, and will not be so desperate.

This night at the Toyota Center, everything changed. At halftime, even with the addition of Dwight Howard, even with a good score of 5 wins and 3 losses in the first few games, but in the When facing the Clippers, there is still a clear gap.

The half-quarter score was 59:47. The Rockets had little to do with the Clippers' offense. Chandler Parsons was considered pretty good among the young small forwards, especially compared to his second-round It would be even more inspiring.

But there is also a reason why he is in this position. The biggest gap between him and An Sheng, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard may not lie in golf quotient or technology. More The most important thing is the gap in physical fitness. As a white small forward, he is not as strong as Gordon Hayward. His speed is even less outstanding among small forwards. Perhaps the only advantage he has is his 208cm. He has height and a good three-pointer.

But this is not enough for Anson's defense. In the first half, Anson scored 19 points and 7 assists in the half to lead the Clippers to the lead. In the second half, this became Anson's performance time on the defensive end.

In the third quarter, Chandler Parsons was almost skeptical with his defense. First, he directly steals in his hands for two consecutive rounds, making Chandler Parsons dare not Touch the ball, let alone attack with the ball.

After turning off the ball, he finally found an opportunity to make an air cut to the inside, and was about to vent his emotions with an alley-oop dunk. The moment he received the ball, An Sheng appeared behind him and gave it to him directly. A pegboard cap.

这一场比赛安生再一次拿下了37分7助攻5篮板6抢断5盖帽的数据，其中3次抢断和两次盖帽是发生在钱德勒·帕森斯的身上，这一场比赛恐怕比起他职业生涯最高得分的那一场比赛更加让他记忆深刻了。

This also has to make all the media exclaim the arrival of the small forward, with James Harden as the top shooting guard and the first center Dwight Howard plus a group of young and potential players in the hands of the Clippers. It was only three quarters, and the reason was that the position of the small forward was completely blown up, and this also turned into a massacre with a 20-point difference.
