Looking back

Celtics offensive round!

Jaylen Brown passed the ball to Jayson Tatum.

Facing Grant's defense, Tatum simply ignored his opponent and shot a mid-range jump shot after turning around with the ball! !

just

He was not only facing Grant's defense, but also Ye Huan who was flying towards him from the flank!

"It's Ye Huan again!!"

"He left Hayward open on defense and double-teamed Tatum!"

In the commentary booth, Smith stood up excitedly: "Ye Huan is really everywhere on the defensive end!"

Until now

Smith seemed to understand why coach Tyronn Lue didn't play center and why he dared to play defensive stalwarts like Robertson.

Ye Huan is enough on the defensive end!

In other words:

Ye Huan is everywhere on the defensive end. He always appears in the key position at the key time!

On the field

Tatum was indeed a little frightened by Ye Huan's speed, but he still relied on his personal ability to avoid Ye Huan's block and shot the ball with his limit.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, Tatum lost his rhythm and his jump shot missed the target.

In the rebounding battle, Westbrook jumped high and caught the basketball in his arms.

After grabbing the rebound, Westbrook accelerated directly from the backcourt, rushing towards the frontcourt with sparks and lightning.

The Los Angeles Clippers' signature counterattack is coming!

But this time it's not a three-point fast break, but a four-point fast break!!

Grant was like a wild horse.

Follow closely in the footsteps of Westbrook, Rose, Ye Huan and others.

Tatum and Kemba Walker were the first to return to defense. After attracting their attention, Westbrook made an extremely flirtatious pass from behind to Ye Huan.

Everyone thought that Ye Huan would be the end point of the Clippers' transition offense.

But he chose to pass the ball across to Grace Allen in the left corner!

Faced with the wide open space, Grace Allen would naturally not let Ye Huan down.

"Shh!"

After a slight adjustment, the three-pointer was hit steadily!

"A wonderful defensive counterattack. Ye Huan's thinking in the counterattack was exceptionally clear."

"That's right, and his defensive influence is also quite great!"

"I really didn't expect that the Celtics' five-small lineup was the one that was lagging behind on the court."

In the commentary booth, Smith and Barkley smiled at each other.

It's not just them.

I'm afraid even the fans who are watching the game would not have thought of this.

Facing the death lineup of two rookies + Smart + Hayward and Kemba Walker, the Los Angeles Clippers will have the upper hand.

have to say

After Tyronn Lue became the head coach of the Clippers, the team's lineup and chemistry far exceeded Smith and Barkley's expectations.

No one knows what kind of tactical arrangements Tyronn Lue, known as a "genius", can come up with!

After Ye Huan continuously disrupted his rhythm on the defensive end, Kemba Walker deliberately glanced at the young coach Stevens on the sidelines while advancing with the ball.

Walker felt that the team needed to change its offensive tactics to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

However, head coach Stevens gave Walker a downward gesture.

What it means is: slow down the pace, engage in positional warfare, and maintain tactics!

One to say one

In these few rounds, Ye Huan did have a great impact on the Celtics on the offensive end.

But how long can he maintain this level of defensive intensity?

With this kind of defensive coverage that almost covers the entire half court, coupled with the consumption on the offensive end.

Head coach Stevens has every reason to believe that Ye Huan will not be able to hold on for long!

After seeing through the situation on the court, Stevens felt much more at ease.

however

The Ye Huan he had expected did not occur in the second half of the first half due to physical problems.

After all, he has full physical attributes.

This amount of consumption is really nothing to Ye Huan.

The Celtics' small lineup also has little talent.

Even if the team's offense is not running smoothly, they can still open up the situation through personal ability.

It's just a matter of one gaining while the other loses.

The Los Angeles Clippers, playing at home, still took a 74:60,14, -point lead at the end of the first half.

"The Los Angeles Clippers affected the offensive rhythm of the Boston Celtics with just Ye Huan!"

During the halftime break, Smith didn't look at the technical statistics: "Ye Huan didn't complete too many steals or blocks in the first half of the game!"

"But he alone changed the course of the entire game!"

"That's right, Ye Huan's influence on the field is definitely not something that can be reflected by statistics!"

Barkley was also deeply impressed by Ye Huan: "Speaking of this, I have to mention that if Ye Huan can perform on the defensive end like he did in this game in the rest of the season."

"Then we can congratulate him in advance for becoming the best defensive player of the season!"

"And it's undisputed!"

Just like what the two commentators said.

Ye Huan didn't need to fly for steals or blocks to help the Clippers be airtight on the defensive end.

Although data sometimes doesn't lie.

But in this game, Ye Huan's dominance on the defensive end is definitely not something that can be reflected by the data.

"Coach Stevens, do we need to change our offensive tactics?"

half time

In the visiting team's locker room, assistant coach Udoka asked head coach Stevens, who was lost in thought: "The team's performance in the second half of the second quarter was somewhat unsatisfactory."

In the second half of the second quarter, it was originally the time to send out a small lineup to start the game.

As a result, they lost points in a single quarter and the gap between them was widened to 14 points.

this....

Something is indeed not right!

“That’s a bit unscientific!”

Coach Stevens still couldn't figure it out: "Why doesn't Ye Huan's physical fitness show any signs of decline???"

At the beginning

While Ye Huan kept running and assisting on the defensive end, Stevens chose to continue according to the tactics formulated before the game.

He originally thought that Ye Huan would only be able to provide that kind of assisting defense for a few rounds.

But who knew he could run for half a quarter?

Moreover, until the end of the first half, there was no sign of physical decline? ? ?

This is really unscientific!

"So, coach, our tactics for the second half are..."

"Continue to follow the plan made before the game!"

Stevens finally chose to believe in science: "I just don't believe that Ye Huan will continue to maintain that kind of defensive performance in the second half of the game!"

In the eyes of the young coach, this is undoubtedly a great gift from the Los Angeles Clippers.

If Ye Huan's physical strength declines in the second half, the Clippers' offensive and defensive systems will collapse completely.

At that time, will they be able to defeat the Celtics by relying solely on Westbrook and a group of tools?

It is undoubtedly a foolish dream!!

Seeing that the young coach was so stubborn, the Celtics players didn't say much.

After all, head coach Stevens' coaching ability is still very good.

Besides, Tatum and Jaylen Brown also played very well.
