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

"The Brooklyn Nets requested a timeout. This is the first time they requested a timeout in this game!"

United States, Los Angeles

Staples Center

Smith in the commentary booth spoke in a high tone: "Since Durant and Irving joined the Nets, the Nets rarely take the initiative to apply for a timeout this season."

Steve Nash is a man with a hint of arrogance in his bones.

But even so

Many Nets fans agree that he is the weakest link in the team, or the flaw.

"I have to say, Nash's timeout was very necessary!"

O'Neal on the side quickly echoed: "Tyronn Lue's lineup has already achieved an 8:0 offensive climax in a short period of time."

What's more important is

This climax of the Los Angeles Clippers was achieved in front of Durant and Irving.

This lineup's performance on both offense and defense is perfect.

Just as the two commentators said.

Even after requesting a timeout, Nets head coach Nash was still frowning.

The reason is also very simple.

The Clippers lineup with Ye Huan playing center is too weird...

The team's assistant coach could only briefly outline the Clippers' performance on both offense and defense.

"Almost all of them have shooting ability on the offensive end!"

The assistant coach was somewhat helpless: "Except for Durant and Irving, our other offensive points have no way to open up the situation!"

The small lineup's agile, fast, and swift switching defense system has made the Nets suffer a lot in the past period of time.

Especially DeAndre Jordan.

Facing Ye Huan, who was much shorter than him, since there was no other way...

Compared with the Clippers' performance on the defensive end, what really worries Nash is the Clippers' performance on the offensive end.

All five players on the court have the ability to shoot from three-point range and run fast breaks.

Although Nash used Durant to play the power forward position in this game, it has lowered the team's height.

But now it seems that the effect is indeed a bit difficult to achieve.

If you want to lower the team's height, remove DeAndre Jordan.

Then the Nets may be helpless when facing Rose, Westbrook and Ye Huan rushing to the basket.

Faced with various unfavorable situations.

Steve Nash could only use his best tactics.

In other words: This time when the Nets requested a timeout, Nash wanted to tell Irving and Durant.

Next, it's time for the two of you!

"I will destroy them!"

Understanding the coach's intention, Durant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "We will win this game!"

"I said that!"

What tactics!?

What system!?

What a small lineup!

Give me the ball and I will take you home happily!

Now is the showtime for the Grim Reaper and Uncle Drew!!

The timeout ended quickly and players from both sides returned to the court.

The Brooklyn Nets decisively replaced the unproductive Jordan and let LeVert come on as a substitute.

So far

The Nets' lineup on the court is: Irving, Seth Curry, Joe Harris, LeVert and Kevin Durant!

The Clippers remain the same: Westbrook, Rose, Grace Allen, Carmelo Anthony and Ye Huan!

When Ye Huan saw the Nets' lineup, he was also quite surprised.

He didn't expect that Nash, who has never been good at coaching, would make such a bold change.

Give up the team's height and go against the Los Angeles Clippers? ?

This is a decision Nash can make! ? ? ?

On the field

The game continues and the Nets have the ball!

After Seth Curry dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, he decisively passed the ball to Irving outside the left three-point line.

At the same time, the other four players on the Nets were also fanned out outside the three-point line, just like the Clippers before.

"Did the Brooklyn Nets learn the tactical system from the Los Angeles Clippers?!"

Smith, who was in the commentary booth, laughed when he saw the positioning of the Nets players: "Although they can't limit the Clippers on the defensive end, the Nets are not inferior to them on the offensive end!"

Whether it's Seth Curry, Joe Harris or even LeVert who just replaced Jordan.

They all have certain three-point shooting ability!

Learn from the Los Angeles Clippers! ?

You are awesome Steve Nash!!

Kyrie Irving, holding the ball at the top of the arc and facing Westbrook's defense, didn't even see any teammates in his eyes. He dribbled the ball between his legs and changed direction continuously, breaking into the penalty area like a butterfly flying through flowers.

Then he turned around gracefully, dribbled the ball one step, turned around and shot a fadeaway jump shot! !

"Shh!"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then penetrated the net bag!

"Beep!"

At the same time, the referee not far away blew the whistle in his hand.

Westbrook's hand speed is indeed fast enough, but this time he hit Irving's arm.

Irving made a fadeaway jump shot and also had to take an extra free throw!

"Shh!"

Amid the boos from the audience, Irving made the free throw.

Kyrie Irving achieved a 2+1 in his first attack after the timeout!

58: 66!

The score difference returns to single digits again!

"The Brooklyn Nets' ability to adjust was very fast, and they scored the ball after one timeout!"

"But their biggest problem is not on the offensive end, but on the defensive end..."

Smith and O'Neal just finished talking.

On the Clippers' offensive end, Westbrook broke through the zone and assisted Ye Huan to hit a three-pointer.

But the Nets did not experience any fluctuations due to this defensive failure.

Durant turned around and shot a three-pointer to retaliate!

Tell the truth

The Nets really don't have the ability to handle the Clippers' offense on the defensive end.

But do they really need defense?

Irving and Durant are two top singles players, plus a group of excellent shooters from the outside.

You let them defend! ?

This obviously doesn't work!

Durant's offensive desire and efficiency today were visibly higher.

Ye Huan even felt that today's Durant was completely different from the one he had played against before.

It was said to be reasonable, why is it unreasonable today? ?

Relying on the offensive performance of Irving and Durant.

The Nets kept the score close until the end of the halftime game.

of course

The Nets don't just rely on these two.

Head coach Steve Nash also reaped some benefits on offense by mimicking the Clippers' small lineup.

At halftime

Both teams scored rare high points, and the home team Los Angeles Clippers temporarily led by six points 74:80.

For the Nets, Durant scored another 12 points in the second half of the second quarter, adding to his 18 points in the first quarter.

Durant scored 30+ in the first half for the first time this season.

His good brother Kyrie Irving was equally unwilling to be outdone, scoring 22 points in the first half to help Death.

On the other hand, the Clippers.

Ye Huan scored 26 points in the first quarter, but his scoring momentum decreased slightly in the second quarter.

第二节比赛，叶欢出手3次全部命中的同时送出了4次助攻，半场已经斩获34分4篮板7助攻的数据。

Westbrook also had a near triple-double of 14 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

It can be said

The core players of both sides performed well in this game.
