overlooking the pitch

Chapter 103 No grades, breathing is wrong

After defeating the Kings, their next game is still at home. After six consecutive aways, they also ushered in three consecutive home games. The Atlanta Hawks, a strong team in the second echelon of the Eastern Conference, ranked fifth At the position, their point guard Mike Bibby is paired with Josh Smith and Joe Johnson who can take off on both wings, and there is Al Horford in his heart who is no slower than Blake Griffin.

The Eagles are very similar to the Clippers, with fast offensive and defensive transitions, forward physical fitness, a solid ball-handling core, and a not-so-slow inside line. Two identical teams will have a battle at the Staples Center.And obviously, a very important point in this, in the fast break of both sides, which side can obtain an overwhelming advantage will be against the entire team.

The three-game winning streak of the Clippers ushered in a full-stacked Staples Center. The jerseys of Blake Griffin and Anson can be seen in almost every corner of the arena. Clippers fans are all for the team Roar, roar for their extraordinary season.

Hawks starting lineup, point guard: Mike Bibby, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Josh Smith, power forward Al Horford, center Jalen Collins.

The Clippers still continued their recent winning streak in the starting lineup. This time, An Sheng was selected by the team to replace Blake Griffin in the player channel for the last appearance and accepted the cheers of the audience. This also shows that, The team attaches great importance to Anson.

With the whistle of the referee, the basketball flew high into the air. Jordan, with his extraordinary jumping ability, took the lead to hit the basketball on An Sheng. On the field, without waiting for his teammates to come over, he rushed directly to the paint area.

A direct layup was made, and Josh Smith's back defense did not prevent Anson from scoring. He didn't react immediately, and this failure to react was a big difference for these two small forwards with overwhelming physical talent. distance.

Ansheng took the lead to score, and the total time for this goal was less than 5 seconds. This is what both teams are good at. They are fast breaks, and Ansheng is the first to play their game according to their own rhythm. come out.

Of course, the Eagles are naturally unwilling to be led by the nose by the Clippers. Play fast?In front of the Eagles taking off on two wings, they will never feel that their fast offense will be inferior to the Clippers.

At the moment of Anson's goal, Al Horford, who received the goal under the basket, directly and quickly served it to Mike Bibby. The ball took only two steps and was directly passed to the right side of the stadium logo. In the hands of Joe Johnson on the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, Joe Johnson was very calm. Facing the defense of Blake Griffin who rushed forward, he directly and calmly made a three-pointer.

Going ahead by one point, I have to say that the Eagles' counterattack was very fast. Originally, this long horizontal pass was simply a steal for An Sheng, but at this time, An Sheng hadn't recovered from the layup just now. run back.

The offense and defense of the two sides are very fast. Regardless of whether a goal is scored or not, the two sides always attack and return quickly, and hardly miss the offensive rebounds. The score at 5 minutes has come to 19:16, which is usually close to the score of a quarter.

It's just that now, the Eagles are leading the Clippers by relying on their good three-point ability. Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and the three outsiders of the Eagles all have very good three-point shooting percentages. , In this round of offense just now, they surrendered 7 of 3 three-pointers, and almost all of them were unsteady and then opened their hands to shoot.

"Hey, this is really a top-level offensive feast! I have no problem with the Eagles playing so well, but the Clippers are a bit beyond my expectation!" Mark Jackson, who was sitting in the commentary booth, was a little surprised , This season, he didn't explain much about the Clippers' games. Although he knew that the Clippers had made great progress this season, he really didn't know that the Clippers' offense would be so strong.

Bill Walton looked at the players on the field and said with disdain: "That's because they don't have a great defender. If I were on the field, the Clippers would never play so easily. I can guarantee it!"

If someone else said such a thing, Mark Jackson might express disdain, but the partner in front of him is one of the greatest defenders in the NBA. Relying on his defense, the Trail Blazers won the O'Brien Cup in the 1977 season , and he was also elected the Finals MVP.It’s also interesting to say that, as a veteran of the Celtics, he has a son, Luke Wharton, who plays for the Zijin Lakers. Naturally, he doesn’t have a good impression of the Clippers, so when he said this, he just pulled out the Clippers. The boat made a point.

The fans of the Clippers were a little dissatisfied with the commentary, and someone began to shout at the commentary: "Hey! Bill, this is not your era, and Luke will never be better than Ann! I still remember the last time The scene where he goes out five minutes and gets hit."

The commentators in the United States will not quietly endure the provocations of fans, and they will not remain absolutely neutral to the profession they explain. Bill Wharton immediately retorted: "Man, what are you talking about? I There are two championships, there is a Finals MVP, my son also won two championships with the Lakers, and what do you have? Have you ever made it to the Western Conference Finals?"

This sentence made the Clippers fans completely unable to refute, you said I was wrong, sorry, I have a championship, and the MVP of the finals, even if you say I don’t belong to this era, then you can let the young me come here Is it time to play a game with you in this era?This is obviously impossible.

This is almost an invincible logic, like "You can't beat me!", the reply is "I have a champion!", "My attack method is better than you," the reply is still "I have a champion!", "I Adapt to this era better than you!", the reply can still be "I have a champion."

In this era of competitive games, there is no such thing as friendship first and competition second. For the NBA, if you have no grades and no championship, then even your breathing is wrong.

The only thing fans can win back their self-esteem is that only their favorite team can at least win this game. As for the championship, he believes that under the leadership of a group of young players like Anson and Blake Griffin, the Clippers Sooner or later the team will touch that trophy.
