overlooking the pitch

Chapter 104
After the timeout, the two sides' substitute lineups competed. Anson, who was running very fiercely on the court just now, and Blake Griffin have all been replaced by Jr. Jordan. Similarly, the two swingmen of the Eagles also came off the court to rest , The offenses of both sides began to slowly move closer to positional warfare.

At this time, a very unfortunate thing happened. Eagles center Jalen Collins unfortunately sprained his ankle during a defense, and he is the only reliable pure center in the Eagles. Horford, a power forward who is less than 210cm tall, was forced to take the center position.

At this time, the role of Chris Kaman came out. In the positional battle, he is still a well-deserved big killer, strong in the low post, small hook, and even mid-range shots. He scored 5 points on 4 of 8 shots in the first minute.

"Hey, Al, is your defense that bad? Don't back down, hold him up!" Eagles coach Mike Woodson yelled at Al Horford.The two-time NCAA champion didn't play hard inside.No way, who made Florida have a tough white center, Joakim Noah, who did all the dirty work. He doesn't like physical confrontation.

The Clippers overtook the score and opened the score step by step.The Clippers fans who were irritated by Bill Walton said triumphantly: "See? We are about to win this game. Tonight will be our night. No matter how many championships you win That too is in the past.”

Bill Walton didn't care about it. In his basketball career, he was not only commendable for his defense. Similarly, his IQ as a center was absolutely outstanding at the time.

"The Eagles will definitely not play slowly like the Clippers. Without qualified inside frame protectors, they must speed up, let the Clippers follow his rhythm, and strengthen the pincer attack on the inside. This is the correct way to play. I don't think Wood will never think of such a thing." Bill Wharton continued to explain calmly, as a commentator, he is still good at analyzing the situation.

Sure enough, as he expected, the Eagles quickly replaced the original starting lineup, except for their injured and retired center, so their speed became even faster.

This time, Del Negro's reaction was unexpectedly fast. He also replaced himself and Ansheng them. During this period of time, it is not only the Clippers who have become stronger. As the coach, Del Negro Luo, he also began to gradually understand the characteristics of his team more clearly.

The Eagles played a very beautiful pass and cut cooperation on the first ball of the game. Mike Bibby and Josh Smith played a very beautiful pick-and-roll cooperation. Anson did not intercept Mike Bibby's tricky pass. The camera system It's not a panacea, he can't guarantee that An Sheng will see through the opponent's passing line every time.

Josh Smith, a man who could become a slam dunk king, flew high and completed a split dunk in front of Jordan's supplementary defense.After the dunk, he wore a headband with an excited smile on his face, and at the same time ran back to his own half with a passionate roar.

At the beginning, he didn't take advantage of An Sheng's head, and was even cut off by Sheng Sheng during a forced breakthrough.And although he didn't pass An Sheng directly by himself, it made him feel very relieved.

The Clippers wanted to serve quickly to complete an attack, but the Eagles retreated quickly. When Anson wanted to hit the penalty area, Josh Smith and Al Horford had already arranged pockets waiting for him to get in.

The pass went to the outside, but the Clippers' three-pointer tonight was really bad. Randy Foye missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.Clippers fans are wondering whether this basket is their own.

This shot bounced to the inside of the basket and flew directly to the free throw line. A long rebound is very beneficial for fast breaks. Joe Johnson grabbed this rebound and quickly counterattacked. His strong body allowed him to directly crush to the inside to complete a layup.

4 points in a row!It's not even half a minute.On the sideline, the Clippers' defensive coach Mark Evaroni seemed to see a clue. Although the team is good at playing fast breaks, they have no rules when defending fast breaks.

"Ann! Don't rush into the penalty zone if you are not sure of scoring. Once you can't return to defense, Eric and Randy will have no way to block the opponent's impact!"

Mark Evaroni sees the problem very clearly. The Eagles' Joe Johnson and Josh Smith are both forwards and guards with a height of more than 2 meters. Their impact is not something that small guards can bear, and Randy Foye and Eric Gordon are not good at defense!
It has to be said that this suggestion was very effective. In the next round, Joe Johnson's counterattack layup was interfered by Anson. Anson's continuous jumping ability allowed him to take off the rebound directly after the interference shot.

What's interesting is that now in the Eagles' half court, there are only two Clippers players left and only one Eagles player. The basketball flew directly to Blake Griffin who hadn't run back into the half court like a precision-guided missile. In the hand, the cooperation of the internal pass directly helped Jordan fly.

The two sides battled wits and courage in every fast-break detail, and explored the abilities of their players to the limit. They even took this game as an opportunity to test their fast offense and defense.

However, fast breaks definitely only account for a small part of the team's offense, and positional battles score the most. However, the positional battles of these two teams are also very fast. There will also be more opportunities for vacancies.

"Okay! I have to admit, this is a style of play we didn't have at the beginning. Their speed is very fast, even faster than the fastest "show time" Lakers of our era. The rules they bring now may It would be more appropriate!" Bill Wharton was a little stunned.

These two teams are definitely not the top teams in the league, but in terms of play, the rules of the league began to tilt towards them, encouraging offensive players.Just like the hottest Heat team in the league right now, there is no doubt that they are also like these two teams, except that they are the best in this style of play. Last year's two positional battles The best teams in the world, whether it is the Celtics or the Lakers, have suffered defeats at the hands of the Heat.

However, before the real championship is won, it is difficult to become the mainstream of the league no matter what. After all, the Suns with such a powerful "7-second offense" have not crossed the three mountains of the Spurs, Lakers and Mavericks.
