The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 445 The Joy of Tank Breakthrough

By the end of October, America's critics were disappointed with the Warriors' performance.

4 wins and 3 losses, the Warriors lost to the Pistons in the previous night's game.

The dominance of last season has disappeared, and the weak inside is almost powerless to resist the outstanding big man.

Andre Drummond is considered a toy for the Clippers, but in the game against the Warriors, the big center exploded.

8 points and 18 rebounds, 8 of which were offensive rebounds. Drummond made 17 of 4 in the game. Although his handwork was rough and he also stretched at the end of the basket, the Warriors still failed to withstand the opponent. shock.

Trying to restore the passing and cutting system, the Warriors made 25 turnovers in this game, and the five players in the main lineup contributed 5 turnovers together.
On the morning of October 10th, to warm up for the evening game, TNT's program also discussed the performance of the Warriors and Clippers since the start of the game.

"This is not the Warriors we expected. There seems to be a problem with their system, too much pursuit of singles, or too much pursuit of sharing the ball."

"Steve should clarify the distribution of the ball, instead of Green organizing the offense. Both Durant and Curry have the ability to hold the ball. It is the right choice to give the ball to the star players."

Charles Barkley didn't speak ill of the players, but instead questioned Steve Kerr's tactical arrangements.

The other three in the studio were all shaking their heads. Steve Kerr was popular on TNT, and Kenny Smith immediately offered a different opinion:

"Obviously it's not a problem with the coaching staff. Don't forget that the Warriors have won 73 wins by relying on the cutting system, which is enough to prove their success."

"Obviously, the arrival of Durant has affected the performance of this system. Therefore, it is the players who should be adjusted. When attacking, they have to move."

Host Ernie Johnson agreed, adding:
"Kenny is very reasonable. Durant should let his teammates participate more in the offense. Draymond Green also performed very well on the offensive end in the previous seasons."

"We all know that the ball is limited. In some games, Durant should learn to delegate power without affecting the outcome."

O'Neal didn't care about the data performance of the Warriors. Instead, he reminded aloud:

"The Warriors should make it clear whose team this is. If Durant is the leader, they should give him more balls!"

"In many cases now, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson both take a lot of shots. It seems that there is no problem for the three to share the ball equally, but when the game reaches a critical moment, who will be the main attacker?"

Charles Barkley immediately widened his eyes when he heard this question, and said firmly:
"Of course it was to give the ball to Durant. They recruited Durant to join the Warriors to do this!"

"Egalitarianism is not suitable for the Warriors. Maybe they can refer to the Clippers' distribution of ball rights."

Kenny Smith thought of Li Ze, who had exploded recently, and added with a smile:

"The situation of the two teams is indeed somewhat similar at present. Nikola Jokic has performed very well, and the Clippers seem to have absorbed some of the Warriors' tactics."

"However, the Clippers cannot be copied. Kayce is too efficient. He doesn't need too many possessions to score high points. In this regard, no one in the Warriors can match him."

The host Ernie Johnson thought of Li Ze's change in playing style this season, and he had a strange expression for a while:
"Kenny is right. It should be said that no one in the entire league can match Kayce. He is 27 years old and is about to enter the peak of his career. His state this season is simply unstoppable!"

"."

Flying from Oakland to Los Angeles, the Warriors who just got off the plane were in a bad mood.

After losing to the Pistons last night, Steve Kerr was furious after the game. Everyone knew in their hearts that if they couldn't make it out of the West this year, the head coach should also dismiss get out of class.

If such a luxurious lineup cannot achieve results, then the head coach can only be blamed. After all, the cost of changing coaches is relatively low.

After getting off the plane and getting on the bus, Durant started to check Twitter. After Li Ze's unbelievable statistics and won the best of the week, America's football critics naturally went crazy again.

This made Durant's mood not beautiful again, and he was also very disappointed with the team's results in the new season.

Nick Young, who returned to Los Angeles, was full of emotions for a while. If he had chosen to join the Clippers, he would definitely have three more rings in his hand at this time.

When he was the licking dog of the Lakers at the beginning, he ended up with nothing. When he turned around and wanted to go to the Clippers, Nick Young found that he was no longer able to climb high.

"The new arena is really magnificent, it looks much more beautiful than Staples from the outside!"

Nick Young's words also made McGee on the side nod in agreement. The main players are in a bad mood, but the role players don't care too much:
"I'm looking forward to playing in the new arena. I don't know if the future Warriors' arena will be as beautiful as the arena in front of me."

After McGee finished speaking, he found that no one was paying attention to him, so he shrugged helplessly. After losing to MMP, everyone was in a bad mood.

After Steve Kerr lost his temper last night, he came to Los Angeles and still had a straight face:

"Warm up well in the afternoon, and I hope to win a game tonight!"

"The opponent is the defending champion, you must control your mistakes during the game!"

With a simple reminder, Steve Kerr and the coaching staff got off the bus. The Warriors needed a victory to boost morale.

As the focus of this week's game, tonight's game is naturally another live broadcast across the United States.

Reggie Miller and commentator Kevin Harlan were at the Intuit Dome for the first time. There was still an hour before the game, and the two had walked around the arena twice.

Tonight's game kicks off at 19 o'clock, and the time is just right. After the fans drive to the arena, they can have dinner here before entering the stadium to watch the game.

There were a lot of fans in the restaurant, and there were constant yells to remind the fans to pick up their meals. Of course, in order to receive the Chinese fans, the Clippers specially arranged some authentic Chinese food.

In addition to the common dishes in America, such as roast duck, roast goose, and barbecued pork, there are also many Sichuan dishes and special snacks.

The price is a bit expensive, but the other services are very good. Many ABC come to watch the game and try these "hometown" dishes.

Reggie Miller looked at the fans who came and went, most of them were wearing blue team T-shirts, and felt infinitely emotional for a while:

"It seems that history is repeating itself. The Chicago Bulls established a fan base through two three-peat championships."

"Until now, Chicago's football market is also very good, and Kayce has also done this. No matter what the future holds, at least Clippers fans will not forget this experience."

Kevin Harlan felt that the fans would never forget, even if Li Ze retired, the 2K skin-changing game would keep reminding the fans.

"If Kayce really won six consecutive championships with the Clippers, he would have eight championships personally. Seriously, maybe he would lose interest in basketball."

"The peak period of players is around 30 years old. I don't think anyone will be an opponent of the Clippers in the next few years."

Reggie Miller felt that what his partner said made sense. Looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going, he muttered to himself:
"I hope that the Eastern Conference can also produce a strong team."

After the game officially started at 19:[-], the atmosphere in the Intuit Dome was lively, and the Clippers did some tricks in the new season, which was very enjoyable to watch.

After a few games, the season ticket holders felt relieved, even if it was a game of abuse, the scene was very good.

Coupled with the background of the Lakers in the same city, the supply of tickets was in short supply for a while.

Steve Kerr was not in the mood to feel the atmosphere of the Clippers' new arena. From the beginning of the game, he stood on the sidelines frowning. The Warriors couldn't hide Curry on the defensive end.

The game lasted for more than 2 minutes, and the Clippers' offense was extremely smooth.

In the last round, Durant had just succeeded in a pull-up jumper at the elbow on the right side of the free throw line. After he quickly served the baseline ball, Li Ze quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then immediately handed over the ball.

Curry stood in front of Jaylen Brown after the opening game tonight. This is already the best defensive matchup. After all, Jaylen Brown is still a rookie.
It's just that the effect was not very good after the opening. The Clippers' four outsiders are all about 4 meters tall.

On the right wing, Li Ze made an off-ball screen for Jaylen Brown who raised the ball from the right corner.

Clay certainly didn't want to replace Li Ze in front of Curry, so he reminded him early:
"Catch up!"

Curry, who was trying to defend, did quickly squeeze through the screen, but Jokic sent a hand-off pass and immediately went down, taking away Pachulia's defense, and also briefly delayed Curry, allowing the ball to be left-handed Jaylen Brown can accelerate with ease.

Curry, who was defending hard on his side, tried to give a physical confrontation. The two came near the free throw line. Jaylen Brown suddenly exerted strength, leaned his body to the right, and lifted Curry away, and then took advantage of the situation to complete a lateral retreat. Stop and jump shot!

"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily!

Relying on his physical and height advantages, Jaylen Brown can calmly deal with Curry's defense when leading by more than half a body.

Of course, the current set of tactics is relatively simple. When the ball is in the hands of Jaylen Brown, there is a high probability that the offense will be terminated. After the opening tonight, he felt good, and Li Ze signaled Mengxin to attack a few more times.

The Clippers fans immediately erupted in huge cheers, and Mengxin beat the opponent's star players, which is also something everyone loves to see.

"Good use of technology, it seems to be able to see the shadow of Kayce, of course, there are some similarities with Paul George, it seems that our rookie has put in a lot of effort in the offseason."

Reggie Miller happily sent out his praise, and the commentator Kevin Harlan also felt that the 2-minute game was very interesting:
"Curry became the weak point of the Warriors' defense. The Clippers played the same tactic three times and all succeeded."

6:8, with Jaylen Brown hitting a shot, the Clippers took the lead again.

Perhaps because of the back-to-back games, Curry felt average tonight, and the Clippers frequently targeted him, and his mentality was out of balance for a while.

Curry did not follow the tactical requirements. After the pick-and-roll, he gave the ball to Green who bounced outside. He faced Harris, who was changing defenses, on the left flank outside the three-point line.

After a slight pause, Curry lowered his center of gravity and accelerated directly with the ball in his right hand, cutting to the basket at 45 degrees.

Curry, who broke into the paint, quickly regretted that when Pachulia was on the court, there was limited space in the penalty area.
Harris' defense did not lose its position, covering Curry and slipping continuously. Curry, who was walking, noticed that Jokic had begun to move.

After approaching the basket, he took off with the momentum, made a false pass, and gave the ball to Pachulia at the bottom right of the basket.

Under the encirclement, the quality of Curry's pass was not high. Pachulia received the ball and adjusted, and then tried to take advantage of the situation to put the basket, but was rejected by the twisted Jokic cap.

Taking advantage of the backcourt rebound, Jokic immediately threw the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc.

The experienced Green started to return to the defense early, and he did not choose to delay the first time, because he knew that such a defense was useless to Li Ze.

Three-line fast break, Jaylen Brown on the left and Paul George on the right ran without the ball, quickly rushed across the half court, and opened up the offensive space for Li Ze by the way.

Green, who retreated in the middle, constantly adjusted his defensive focus, trying to press Li Ze from his side to slow him down.

It's just that Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, rushed faster and faster. Green gritted his teeth and insisted, subconsciously began to speed up his pace, and the two soon came to the three-point line.

During the march, Li Ze suddenly went in and out, swayed left and right, paused slightly, and then accelerated again. Green, who wanted to chase after him, found desperately that Li Ze had already squeezed past his defense.

With three big strides, Li Ze took off in the paint and grabbed the ball with one hand, completely throwing away Green, and easily completed the gliding dunk!
"Boom!" Switch to attack and move on!
The simple speed is disappointing, the speed of the two is not on the same channel, a simple stop and start, the defense is gone.

The cheers of the Clippers fans came from the ears. Green, who was under the basket, was still in a daze. Looking at the back of Li Ze's retreat, he opened his mouth subconsciously, and finally opened the baseline in frustration.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The Clippers fans who watched more and more vigorously began to cheer for the home team's defense loudly.

Curry, who had regained his composure, still dribbled through the half court and crossed the ball again. Green at the top of the arc received the pass, Klelick in the left corner started, and then came to the left flank to receive the ball and then broke through with his left hand.

Speed ​​is not dominant, Clay carried Jaylen Brown to break through into the paint area, then turned around and made a fadeaway jumper against the defense.

"Bang!" The ball knocked out of the frame!

Durant saw Li Ze retracting the rebound, and expressed his dissatisfaction to Clay for a moment. He finished the screen and shot out, but was ignored by Clay.

In the Warriors, only Klay never sacrificed his shots, and he can shoot at least twelve or three times in every game
Seeing the body language of the players on the field, Steve Kerr was so annoyed that he stood beside him and immediately yelled:

"Hey! Back off! Everyone back off!"

Li Ze's advancing speed was very fast, and the ball in his right hand continued to accelerate, and soon reached the top of the arc.

At this time, the players of the two teams had just passed halftime, and Jokic even ran and bumped just past the halfway line
Approaching the three-point line, Li Ze made a sudden stop, and then made a sharp push to change the direction of the ball with his right hand. After switching to his left hand, he immediately pressed his shoulders and broke through. With Green's three strides on his back, he rushed straight to the basket!

"Shet!"

Green cursed secretly, and he couldn't keep up with Li Ze's rhythm, and fell behind by half a body with just a change of direction.

Fortunately, Pachulia was active enough, wrestling with the white fat man while fighting for rebounds, and at this time he rushed to the inside line desperately, and stepped forward to help defend at the first time.

The two tried to block Li Ze under the basket, but Li Ze, who broke through to the bottom left of the basket, had eyes behind his head, jumped up in the air and threw the ball backwards.

The ball passed through the gap between the arms of the two, and Jokic trotted to follow up. After receiving the pass, he twisted his body and put it in the basket, easily scoring 2 points.

This kind of semi-transition opportunity, after the opening, the Warriors were stunned by Li Ze. They made an emergency stop, changed direction, and rushed in with the defense on their backs, but they couldn't stop it.
At 6:12, the Clippers suddenly played a wave of 6:0, and Steve Kerr immediately requested a timeout.

Everyone in the Warriors pulled their faces and walked to the bench silently. This game was unspeakably aggrieved.

Li Ze walked to the bench with a smile on his face, patted Jokic who was still panting, and bumped fists with the cute newcomer Jaylen Brown. The two performed well, at least the tasks assigned by the coaching staff were completed.

In order to prevent Paul George from turning into a ghost pepper, the offensive end will also allocate some ball rights to Jaylen Brown when the defensive end is too heavy.

"It's a terrible impact, but I noticed that this round Curry defended in front of Harris again. Even if it falls into a positional battle, the Clippers may get a good chance to dislocate."

"The physical advantage allows the Clippers to attack calmly."

The commentator Kevin Harlan was surprised to see Li Ze's tank breakthrough for the first time this season, and almost turned into Li Zechui again.

Reggie Miller can understand Curry's depression, and it doesn't feel good to be pinched as a soft persimmon:

"Maybe Curry also needs to make some changes. He needs to improve his defense instead of relying on the system and teammates."

"Basketball is all about the body. Under high confrontation, it is really difficult for a shooter to maintain an excellent touch all the time."

After the timeout, the Warriors players seemed to have calmed down, but the noise in the Intuit Dome grew louder. The fans were naturally happy to see their opponents deflated.

After taking the ball from the bottom line, Curry slowly pushed the ball along the right sideline with his left hand after receiving the ball, but failed to get close to the center line. Li Ze suddenly stuck to the defense and grabbed.

Curry realized that Li Ze wanted to block him on the sideline, and subconsciously threw the ball to Green in the middle.

The overly obvious passing intention was easily predicted by Li Ze, and he leaped high in an instant, stretching out his right arm to catch the ball.

The people in Curry are stupid, this bullet speed, this height, this is really not human.
While still in a daze, there were already cheers at the scene, and Li Ze, who successfully steals the ball, has already crossed the three-point line before the two of them could react.

When he came to the paint area, he jumped with both feet, turned 360 degrees in the air, and completely stretched his body. Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and pressed the ball into the basket hard!

The Intuit Dome exploded in an instant. From stealing the ball to dunking, the Clippers fans screamed with excitement.

"Oh—! Kayce—Li!"

"Unbelievable!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan couldn't hold back anymore. He was a little dazed from the moment he stole the ball, and when he saw the final turning dunk, he subconsciously yelled.

Steve Kerr's face became more and more ugly. In his opinion, this was a mistake caused by Curry's careless pass. He cracked the tactical board with a punch and sat on the bench angrily.

What the coach hates most is making a direct error after a timeout.
Li Ze, who completed the dunk, walked calmly and slowly backed up with small steps. After the bounce value reached 100, fancy dunks were as easy for him as drinking water.

The bullet speed and jumping ability have been greatly enhanced, and it can even be said to be a qualitative leap.

At 6:14, the point difference went to double digits.

Durant, who hadn't touched the ball for a long time, became more and more dissatisfied. When Curry dribbled through the half court again, he didn't need to deal the card from the top of the arc, and simply asked for the ball in the elbow area to the left of the free throw line.

After receiving the pass, Durant immediately released the ball with his left hand and made a breakthrough. After taking two big steps, he stopped suddenly, pulled it up and threw it!

"Shua!" The emergency stop jump shot was hit!

Durant helped the Warriors break the scoring drought, but this round did not play any tactics.

The Warriors' offense has once again become Durant's singles show, and the Clippers continue to look for Curry step by step.

The score began to rise slowly, but the difference did not shrink.

With 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter, both sides began to rotate the lineup. McGee replaced Pachulia and Iguodala replaced Green.

The Warriors changed their strategy and stopped dealing cards at the top of the arc.

For the Clippers, Rooney replaced Jokic and Eric Gordon replaced Jaylen Brown.

Due to the lack of strikers in the bench lineup, Jaylen Brown will take the lead in the second quarter.

In the game of abuse, the Clippers will put up three guards in the rotation stage. When encountering a strong team, the rotation will be shortened.

After his debut, Rooney quickly played a role, with a high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, with his butt slightly raised, and Iguodala couldn't squeeze through the screen.

McGee, who had just rotated into the field, realized something was wrong, and was about to step forward and was delayed, but Li Ze suddenly stopped a big step away from the top of the arc, and then threw the ball together!

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

On the Clippers bench, everyone in the atmosphere group raised their right hands and raised three fingers. This kind of outrageous ultra-long three-pointer is no surprise to everyone.

Confused, McGee subconsciously looked at Steve Kerr, and found that the coach's face was even more ugly, so he could only bow his head and return to the baseline to serve.

"That's definitely an illegal screen, it should be an offensive foul!"

Iguodala was still arguing with the linesman at this time, and pushed him aside, and the veteran was naturally upset after suffering a dark loss.

At 16:24, the point difference was finally narrowed. Li Ze made a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to an uncomfortable 8 points.

Durant, who hit consecutive shots, broke through for a layup and knocked out against Paul George's defense this time.

Paul George, who took advantage of the rebound, immediately launched a conversion attack.

The Warriors retreated silently. Paul George carefully dribbled across the half court and immediately gave the ball to Li Ze on the left wing.

After receiving the pass, Li Ze swayed from the right to the left, and Li Ze, who put the ball with his left hand, crossed and made a breakthrough. Against Iguodala's defense, he crushed and broke through to the left block.

After decelerating, he backed up to protect the ball, blasted the ball vigorously on the spot and then pretended to switch to his right hand. After shaking his shoulders, he lowered his center of gravity again, grabbed the ball again with his left hand, crushed and squeezed Iguodala, and went straight to the basket along the baseline.

McGee subconsciously jumped up to help defend, and pressed his arms down, only to find that Li Ze seemed to be hovering in the air.

After he fell, Li Ze, with his back to the basket, threw the ball onto the basket with his right hand!
"squeak!"

The obvious pulling and pulling inevitably sounded the whistle, the ball hit the backboard and swiped twice on the basket, and finally fell into the net.

"Oh!"

The fans in the front row looked at Li Ze, who showed off his biceps, and couldn't help standing up and cheering. The impression was so explosive that they couldn't stop it.
Coach De Nagro stood on the sidelines and raised his hands to celebrate the goal of his thigh, then walked to the bench, and after sitting down, he quickly made a tactical retreat. The game is stable!

Reggie Miller in the commentary seat looked at the helpless expression of the Warriors towards everyone, and almost laughed out loud for a while:

"Totally unreasonable breakthrough, maybe Steve should adjust the defensive matchup, Iguodala's lateral speed can't keep up with Kayce."

The commentator Kevin Harlan shook his head and stopped talking. It was the same for everyone. According to his observation, most of Li Ze's current breakthroughs rely on speed and strength.

Excellent defensive skills can't make up for the physical gap.

With Li Ze's extra penalty hit, at 16:27, the point difference came to 11 points.

The Warriors could still score on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Steve Kerr subconsciously rubbed the center of his brows as he watched Harris face Clay's block in the low post and make a turnaround jumper.

Paul George, who had few chances in the first quarter, also scored consecutive points at the last moment.

In a half-conversion attack, Li Ze's breakthrough attracted the attention of the three, and he sent a cross pass on the move. Paul George, who followed up, took advantage of the situation to complete a one-handed dunk!

Klay, Iguodala, and McGee had no choice but to put their hands on their hips. Even if Curry hit consecutive three-pointers at the last moment, the point difference was still 10 points.
At 26:36, in the Intuit Dome, the large scoreboard began to show the technical statistics of the two teams.

6中6,其中三分球1中1,罚球3中3,16分2篮板4助攻1抢断。

Seeing Li Ze's technical statistics, the Clippers fans started cheering again.

Of course, the double-sided scoreboard above the arena not only has technical statistics, but also the basic data and some advanced data of the two teams.

Many Clippers fans feel that they have become professional ball critics, with high-level statistics, they don't know it!
Stephen Curry on the bench was a little dull. He only took a 1-minute break in the middle of the first quarter. Hearing fans comment on his data, he felt even more irritable for a while.

单节5中2,只拿了6分,而杜兰特6中4,砍下了10分。

Curry didn't like this kind of game rhythm, and he even began to miss himself in the 73-win period
In the Clippers' rotation, David West also played, partnering with Rooney inside.

The three outsiders are Brogdon, Eric Gordon, and Jaylen Brown.

Steve Kerr feels that Greymond Green's performance is average, but he has to continue to use it at this time.

Livingston, McCaw, Iguodala, Green, and McGee appeared in rotation.

On the Clippers bench, Siakam and Powell were a little depressed. They still failed to win the trust of the head coach. When encountering a strong team, they always choose veterans.

In the first few games, both of them played well, and there is a high probability that they will only appear in garbage time in tonight's game.

Li Ze can naturally guess what the new player is thinking. When he puts on his training uniform, he reminds him:

"The regular season has just begun. What you need to do now is to be patient and perform well in the training session. There is no unreasonable trust. You must know what you should do."

The two nodded quickly, they did have a chance this season, the old man can't beat the young man!
Durant, who had also changed into his training uniform, was watching the game depressed. Eric Gordon seemed very confident, making shots from inside and outside, and kept scoring points.

The Warriors, on the other hand, looked weak offensively and seemed to have yet to recover from back-to-back games.

How to lead the locker room made Durant feel a little overwhelmed. He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that some people are dissatisfied with his style of play.

Thinking of his past experience, Durant wandered away for a while, and began to miss the time of the Thunder again:

"Say the Warriors become my team."

Li Ze played in rotation with 2 minutes and 7 seconds left in the second quarter. Naturally, he had to strike hard against the demoralized Warriors. He had already begun to enjoy the happiness brought by the tank breakthrough.

Reggie Miller looked at Li Ze, who played completely differently from the previous years, and couldn't help joking:
"Kayce's use of skills, just the opposite of Michael's, as he got older, started to attack the basket more."

Seeing Li Ze who easily broke through Clay's defense and successfully picked the basket, the commentator Kevin Harlan also said cheerfully:

"It's been a long time since I saw Michael's news. If the two can be in the same era, it will be very interesting to think about!"

After half the game, looking at the listless main lineup, Steve Kerr's face became darker and darker.

At 53:67, the point difference was widened again.

Turning his head and walking towards the player tunnel, Steve Kerr pulled his face and complained secretly in his heart:
"Does this mean I want to dismiss get out of class early?"
