NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

“Hey guys!”

During the intermission, Tyronn Lue clapped his hands towards the players on the bench and said, "I am very satisfied with your performance in the first quarter."

"I know this is not your limit!"

"I want to see a stronger Los Angeles Clippers!"

As Tyronn Lue spoke, his eyes deliberately focused on Westbrook and Ye Huan: "I know you can do better!"

"Let me take a good look at it!"

Obviously, Tyronn Lue's words were meant for Westbrook and Ye Huan.

first quarter

Even when facing the Phoenix Suns with their Big Three, the Clippers easily took a nearly double-digit lead.

But for Tyronn Lue, he is very clear:

The Phoenix Suns will be a potential competitor for the Clippers this season.

In other words it means:

You can play casually in some games, but when facing an imaginary enemy in the playoffs, you should strike hard and don't hold back.

What we want is absolute suppression!

The Suns represent the strongest lineup on paper in the league right now.

He wants the Suns to be afraid of the Clippers deep in their bones!

The break will end soon

The substitute lineups of both sides appeared on the field.

Paul George, who was substituted early in the first quarter due to his poor form, got the chance to start in the second quarter.

On the Clippers side, Tyronn Lue let Rose, Lou Williams and Anthony lead the second lineup, and asked Grace Allen to defend George.

One to say one

Although Grace Allen does not have a very good reputation, his fighting spirit on the court is still worthy of respect.

Coupled with his accurate three-point shooting, perhaps he will be an indispensable part of the Clippers lineup in the future!

"Ye, Paul is a little out of shape today!"

On the bench, Westbrook also showed some concern for his good brother who fought side by side with him in the past.

"Isn't he always like this?"

Ye Huan was very calm: "If I'm in good shape, I can be a god in a game, but if I'm not in good shape, I can be a ghost!"

Paul George's stability has always been questioned by the outside world.

Just as Ye Huan said, George always switches back and forth between super ghost and super god.

With five minutes left until the end of the first half, the main players of both teams returned.

George, who performed poorly, was benched by Monty Williams.

George was indeed not in good shape today, and was taken care of by two defensive stalwarts, Robertson and Grace Allen, on the defensive end.

Super ghost's performance is also normal.

"Paul, we need you!"

Out of protection for George, Coach Monty had to let him leave the court and stay out of the spotlight.

Patting George on the shoulder, Monty comforted him: "Don't be too obsessed with individual singles. Michael Jordan always believes in his teammates!"

For George who performed poorly today, Monty could only take a shortcut and see if he could stimulate George's other attributes.

The camera returns to the field.

Phoenix Suns attack.

Devin Booker quickly dribbled the ball across half court.

Since George left the court, Robertson switched to defend Booker again.

have to say

Robertson's joining has indeed relieved a lot of pressure on Ye Huan on the defensive end.

After all, last season, Ye Huan had always been responsible for guarding the opponent's key players on the defensive end.

With two strong players, Robertson and Grant, Ye Huan can focus more on offense.

At the top of the arc, Booker held the ball and faced Robertson's defense.

Raise your hand to call for a pick-and-roll.

Booker felt that his current strength was not enough to deal with Robertson's one-on-one defense.

But don’t worry!

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, the tacit understanding is that the young are poor!

Sooner or later, the entire league will be his, including Kendall Jenner!

However, Robertson didn't leave much to his imagination.

After bypassing the pick-and-roll, he turned around and used a ghost knife to accurately steal the basketball from Booker's hands.

"Me Zefaq!?"

Booker was shocked.

By the time he realized something was wrong, Ye Huan had already counterattacked the frontcourt with the ball, took a step inside the free throw line, and performed his signature one-handed tomahawk slam dunk, once again setting off the Staples Center.

After scoring, Ye Huan did not celebrate too much.

Instead, he turned to look at Tyronn Lue on the team's bench.

It seemed as if he was saying: Are you satisfied with this round?

And Tyronn Lue still had a frown on his face.

This ball is far from enough!!!

After understanding what Tyronn Lue meant, he shrugged his shoulders and then faced Devin Booker who was coming.

Ye Huan: Don't blame my brother, the real executioner is on the sidelines...

Booker was a little surprised by Ye Huan's shrug.

Don’t blame the accident!

Booker and Leonard communicated their ideas at the first opportunity.

In the previous round, Booker couldn't get rid of Robertson's defense, obviously Leonard's pick-and-roll was not in place.

The Suns attack!

Monty Williams on the sidelines still gave Booker a gesture.

Booker also understood it very well. He took the ball and made a number three tactical gesture to the opponent on the court.

At the same time, the strong players on the field began to run without the ball closely within the three-point line. Rubio moved to the right, and Leonard began to pull the Clippers' defensive focus towards the left corner.

The concept of the Suns No. 3 tactics.

That is to clear out the entire middle side to create a large enough performance stage for Booker.

The prerequisite for using this tactic is that there must be a player on the court who can sufficiently restrain the Clippers' defensive focus.

Otherwise, even if you pull out the center inside, you won’t be able to engage the defense.

As the inside was cleared, Devin Booker, who had the ball at the top of the arc, started instantly and stepped on the accelerator.

Even though there was no pick-and-roll this time, Booker had nearly 80 percent chance of scoring the ball against Robertson's defense.

"Bang bang bang!"

Booker's quick and powerful dribbling shook the hearts of the fans at Staples Center.

He was like an elf on the field, constantly shuttling between the hunters' traps.

"After several seasons of experience, Devin Booker's one-on-one ability is already top-notch in the league."

Watching Booker's real and fake changes of direction.

In the commentary booth, Smith couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This is talent!

This is Ye Huan’s template!

however

In the face of absolute defensive ability.

template?

talent?

That's all dei~!

Although Booker is constantly breaking his own trap, for Robertson, the purpose of Tyronn Lu putting him on the court is to defend!

"Whoosh!"

With a quick step forward, Robertson knocked the basketball out of Booker's hand like a sharp sword.

While protecting the ball, Robertson retreated to protect the ball, avoiding Booker's quick steal and passed the ball to Ye Huan.

Without George, Leonard had to defend Ye Huan himself on the defensive end.

Facing Leonard's defense, Ye Huan opened his hand and was about to shoot at the top of the arc, but the defender remained unmoved and kept pressing him.

Seeing that Leonard's defense was impenetrable, Ye Huan began to control the ball. As the opponent approached, he suddenly started and broke through from the left side in one step.

Leonard reacted very quickly and turned around to chase after him.

Ye Huan felt the pressure from behind, but did not stop the ball. He continued to attack and reached the basket in three or two steps.

Saric and Adams were competing for position, creating a lot of space.

Ye Huan jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket!

Although Leonard defended well, Ye Huan's speed was too fast. He had just jumped up when Ye Huan had already completed the dunk.
