Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Lakers let Kobe Paul play a pass and cut cooperation.

Using Gasol on the inside as the pivot, Paul got a singles opportunity.

And the defensive player he faced was Klay Thompson.

This is also what he did intentionally, after all, it is currently in the Clippers' lineup.

To say that the one who lacks the most defensive experience must be Clay.

After three seasons of tempering, Curry's defensive ability has improved.

Not to mention the other three, they are all defensive champions.

But after Paul got the ball, he realized that he had underestimated the enemy.

Clay's defensive position is very good, he can block the defense and chase the defense at the first time.

Regardless of whether Paul wants to shoot or wants to shoot, he can respond immediately and make corresponding defensive strategies.

Despite this, Paul still chose to beat Klay.

He went straight to the inside against Klay's defense, then made a low layup and threw the ball under Klay's arm to the backboard.

Bang!

Paul's layup missed the basket.

Pickle quickly stuck Gasol behind him, trying to protect the rebound.

However, Bynum suddenly appeared at the basket, squeezed Millsap around and jumped high.

Bynum, who jumped into the air, directly grabbed the popped basketball with both hands, and then slammed it into the basket!

2 points scored!

Lakers 87:73 Clippers.

The Lakers already hold a 14-point lead!

Looking back, the Clippers took the initiative to attack from the outside.

But the person who made the shot was not Stephen Curry, the current head star in the team.

Because at this moment, he also enjoys the same treatment as Kobe, surrounded by two people.

It was Klay Thompson who was ambushing on the flank!

Although Curry, who was double-teamed, didn't play the ball fast enough, but fortunately, Millsap can handle the ball at the top of the arc.

After receiving the ball from Curry, he used his outside shooting deterrence to attract the opponent's defense.

Then he fed the ball to Klay, who was unmarked on the wing.

Clay took the ball, raised the ball high above his head with both hands, and then shot it.

This shot speed is not inferior to that of Curry, so there is no chance for Gasol to save and block.

This trick is Clay's stunt. At present, no one in the NBA has mastered this technique except him.

Ordinary people have to catch the ball and join the ball when they shoot, and then raise it to their foreheads or above their heads to shoot.

But Clay, relying on a lot of shooting training, can omit this ball-joining action and directly lift the ball and throw it.

In this way, the ball can be thrown faster after receiving the ball, without giving the defensive player a chance to intercept.

The technical characteristics of Splash Brothers shooting are very different, but the ultimate goal is the same.

That's a quick and steady shot.

In this regard, Clay is no worse than Curry.

Swish!

The basketball drew a high arc in the air and fell directly into the net.

After the ball entered the net, the entire net jumped up like a splash of water.

"Splash Brothers" is officially launched today!

"Wow~"

The audience at the scene all cheered in surprise.

This speed of release and beautiful hollow into the net has only been seen in Stephen Curry before.

Now, the Clippers have another player who can rival Curry's shooting!

Yang Li's inside line was calm, he just turned his head and glanced at the auditorium, and smiled slightly.

Basic exercise, don't 6, you will see more performances like today in the future.

I have to say that today's Yang Li really made the right bet.

In the fourth quarter, Clay directly opened the big move Buddha's Light.

With Curry restricted, Clay made 10 of 6 shots in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, a [-]% hit rate!

Among them, 5 of 5 three-pointers were shot, and only one shot was accidentally stepped on the three-point line.

In such a critical game in G6 of the Western Conference Finals, rookie Clay scored 17 points before the end of a single quarter!

It directly stunned the Los Angeles Lakers, which owns the fantasy F4!

With 2 minutes left in the game, the Clippers had chased the score to 98:99.

Just one point behind the Lakers!
