Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

The lineup Yang Li sent in the second half was Millsap, Ginobili, Livingston, Harden and Curry!

This is the ultimate small man lineup.

The reason why Yang Li dared to line up like this was not because Bynum and Kobe were still resting off the court at the moment.

There are only two main players on the field, Gasol and Paul.

One plays the 5th position and the other plays the 1st position.

The other three substitutes did not pose any threat to the Clippers at all.

Put Millsap on Gasol and Ginobili on Paul.

The pressure on the other three on the defensive end is actually not great.

In the past few years with the Clippers, Harden and Curry's defensive capabilities have improved significantly.

Now they are above average small forwards and relatively weak power forwards, and there is no big problem.

As for the Clippers' tactics, they are still playing defensive counterattacks.

The two tallest players on the team, Millsap and Livingston, guard the basket.

Whoever grabs the backcourt will hand the ball to Ginobili.

In the second quarter, Ginobili was only in charge of defending and throwing long passes, and his physical strength was relatively abundant.

In this quarter, the Clippers went crazy, and their scoring efficiency was even higher than in the second quarter.

Both Harden and Curry are players in the best team, plus they have a stable three-point shooting ability.

When playing fast break, he will even make an emergency stop outside the three-point line, and he will definitely not hit two points if he can shoot three-pointers.

After only half a quarter of the game, the Clippers opened the point difference to 15 points.

Seeing that the game was about to end, Phil Jackson quickly replaced Kobe.

At this time, only Kobe can stop the decline.

Yang Li saw the adjustment of the Lakers and immediately replaced Butler.

The Clippers' hardest-working man bit Kobe like a mad dog as soon as he played.

He followed Kobe wherever he went, and did not give Kobe any chance to catch the ball easily.

Even after Kobe received the ball, he would try his best to bite Kobe.

Although Kobe is strong, he struggled against a defender like Butler who was only crazy but not superior.

In the second half of the 6 minutes, under Butler's strict defense, Kobe only made 6 of 2 shots and scored 4 points.

Paul only scored 2 points and sent 2 assists.

Gasol played 8 minutes and scored 7 points on 3-of-7 shooting.

Except for these three, the other role players only scored 4 points in total.

The Lakers only scored 17 points in the third quarter.

The Clippers performed well in this quarter, especially Curry and Harden.

库里8投5中，三分球3投2中，得到了12分。

Harden made 6 of 4 shots and 2 of 1 three-pointers. He also drew a defensive foul in an offense.

Got two free throw opportunities and scored a total of 11 points in the third quarter.

Butler didn't score, but he contained Bryant in the second half.

Others also performed well, although they were mainly responsible for defense and assists, they still scored 7 points.

In the third quarter, the Clippers scored a total of 30 points, directly opening the point difference to 21 points.

With this difference of more than 20 points, the two teams came to the fourth quarter.

After a short break, the Lakers once again sent the starting lineup.

Although this starting lineup has played for a long time today, they have to be sent again.

If they are not sent to play, no matter what lineup the Clippers make, the Lakers will be abused.

Once the point difference reaches 30, the game will be over.

Yang Li naturally knew what Phil Jackson was thinking, so he decided to speed up the iceberg and let the Titanic sink earlier.

After seeing the Clippers' five players on the court in the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson frowned again.
