Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

"In this game, we just did two things well, offense and defense, that's all."

John Scott was on the verge of swearing.

As a team averaging 105 points per game, the Clippers only scored 96 points in this game.

You call this a good attack?

Today's Clippers are desperately defending the whole game, and almost put all their energy on defense.

This is all visible to the blind. The Clippers just want the Pistons to score low today.

The most pitiful person in the Pistons lineup is McGrady.

In this game, Yang Li specially arranged for Ginobili and Artest to take turns defending him.

At the same time, Millsap and Pickle were allowed to assist in defense at any time.

In the end, McGrady only made 8 of 1 shots and only scored a poor 2 points.

At the same time, under the siege of the Clippers, he also ate 4 big hot pots.

Although this big defeat caused a heated discussion, it didn't cause much uproar.

The reason is simple, those hot topics in nba are usually accompanied by a superstar.

58 tragedy, because the protagonist is Chris Paul.

35 seconds and 13 minutes, because the protagonist is Tracy McGrady at the end of his peak.

Like Millsap in the Clippers, he once had a stunning performance of 28 seconds and 12 minutes.

But because his name is not big enough, he has rarely been mentioned today (22 years).

The Pistons' lineup this year is full of old, weak, sick and disabled.

Coupled with the fact that it is still a big team in the East, it really does not arouse people's desire to discuss.

However, if a team has three MVP-level superstars at the same time.

Then their matter will arouse heated discussions in the alliance.

That's right, I'm talking about that team, the Miami Heat!

After the start of this season, the Big Three began to run in and performed poorly in the early stage.

After 17 games, the record is only 9 wins and 8 losses, which is far below what people expected of them.

But then, the Heat will show their true strength.

Entering the end of November, the Heat rebounded and won 11 consecutive victories.

And from December to January, they achieved 12 consecutive victories in away games.

This away game winning streak has surpassed the Rockets' 07-game winning streak in the 08-12 season, ranking third in NBA history.

And their 14th away opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers.

On January 2011, 1, the Los Angeles Clippers sat at the Staples Center and ushered in a challenge from the Miami Heat.

For the past two months, the Miami Heat have been in full swing.

Under the leadership of the Big Three, they made the Heat the first place in the Eastern Conference with a devastating momentum.

In particular, their 13-game winning streak is the longest away winning streak since 1995.

And as long as they win two more games, they can tie the Jazz's 95-game winning streak in 15 and tie for second place in history.

This game also attracted a lot of attention, in addition to being a moment to witness historical records.

He is also a battle between the Big Three of the Heat and the Three Musketeers of the Clippers.

Needless to say, the strength of the Big Three composed of James, Wade and Bosh is unsolvable in the entire league.

Their current record is 30 wins and 9 losses, ranking first in the East.

The three Musketeers of the Clippers refer to Curry, Harden and Millsap.

This trio has already made its debut last season, and Curry missed two months of the game due to surgery in the first half of this season.

However, the Clippers still rank third in the Western Conference with 24 wins and 12 losses.

Not long ago, the Clippers ushered in the return of Curry and Dayao.

The current Clippers are finally a full-fledged Clippers and are in a period of steady growth.

At this time, it is necessary to fight a tough battle to test the quality of the team.

The starting lineups for today's game are:

c Dayao vs Jajunas Ilgauskas

pf Paul Millsap vs Chris Bosh

sf ron artest vs lebron james

sg james harden vs dwyane wade

pg steph curry vs carlos arroyo

From the perspective of our current people, at first glance, the starting lineup of the two teams is almost an All-Star list.

Only Carlos Arroyo one cats.

However, this Arroyo is no ordinary cats.

He is the main point guard of the Puerto Rico national team.

The pass is coquettish, the breakthrough is sharp, and he has a good shot.

One of his most famous games, you can ask his current teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Or, you can also ask Allen Iverson sitting on the Clippers bench.

Let them tell the story of participating in the London Olympics in 04.

In the opening match of the 04 Athens Olympics, the United States team faced the Puerto Rico team.

At that time, the members of the dream six team were: Allen Iverson, Stephen Marbury, Dwyane Wade,

Carlos Boozer, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James,

Emeka Okafor, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire,

Tim Duncan, Lamar Odom, Richard Jefferson.

Take a look at this long list, which one is not a famous name in nba.

However, it is facing such a dream team.

Arroyo, Puerto Rico's starting point guard, single-handedly blew them away.

In this game, Puerto Rico beat the United States by 92 points 73:19.

Arroyo alone scored 27 points, and sent 7 assists, and 4 steals.

This is also the worst defeat for the American team in the international arena.

So, in today's game, none of the ten starters in the lineups of both sides is an unknown person.

Today's game is bound to be a wonderful showdown!

Before the game officially started, Yang Li walked up and shook hands with Coach Spoel.

From his eyes, Yang Li seemed to see that he was envious of himself.

Perhaps, Yang Li is the only one who can understand Si Bo's eyes at this moment.

Because he knows that Spoeldo is not valued by the Heat now.

Whether it is the management or the players.

Don't look at the Heat's recent 13-game winning streak in away games, but as long as you watch the videos of these games, you can see.

No tactics, all talent!

The Heat's style of play is basically two:

Wade and Bosh high pick and roll.

And James' weak-side singles.

With almost no complicated tactical coordination, the Heat played the top five offensive efficiency in the league.

The pick-and-roll between Wade and Bosh is almost unsolvable.

After blocking, Wade can shoot directly from the middle distance, or he can go straight to the basket.

If the opposite side comes to make up defense, it will be directly handed over to Bosh to handle the ball.

Bosh can also have two choices at this time, one is to directly use the space created after the dismantling to shoot.

The other is to go straight to the basket while the defenders are not in place.

Either score directly, or cause the opponent to foul.

Just the simple pick-and-roll cooperation between the two is enough to make the opponent overwhelmed.

What's more, the Heat also has an mvp player-LeBron James!
