Griffin's first dunk was filled with anger, and that anger was directed at the Clippers.
The FedEx Center was full of fans, who came to their seats early just not wanting to miss such a goal.
Like fans in some cities, large seats are often empty at the beginning of the first quarter and the beginning of the third quarter.
It's not that the attendance is low, it's that the fans like to arrive late and leave early, and it doesn't matter if they can't see some games.
Griffin's goal obviously cannot be missed.
Min Congda's heart beat faster when he saw this wonderful and violent dunk. He applauded him and said, "This is how to play basketball!"
Chris Wallace has always admired Min Congda's broad mind.
Although he missed Griffin and did not select him as the No. 1 pick, Min Congda never hesitated to praise Griffin.
During the previous game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies, Min Congda said bluntly, "I am a fan of Griffin. He plays so beautifully."
The Clippers' first offense was slow. Curry dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Baron Davis.
Gasol came to the line to respond, but instead of passing the ball to Gasol, Balang suddenly made a penetrating long pass to Randolph.
Randolph caught the ball, turned around and shook off Griffin, and got to the basket for an easy layup.
Although this goal is not as exciting as Griffin's dunk, it is actually just as exciting.
The wonderful thing is not the moment of scoring, but the whole process.
It seems like a simple pass scored, but in fact this ball embodies the essence of the current Clippers offense.
Curry's movement stretched the Grizzlies' defensive space, and Garfield stepped up, and Ricky Davis squatted in the bottom corner.
Then Randolph made a smart turn to break the pass, and Baron Davis passed the ball very tacitly.
The Grizzlies' defense was easily broken.
Griffin's goal took advantage of the Clippers' lack of concentration in the opening game and took advantage of it.
Randolph's goal was the result of the clever cooperation of the whole team, and the Clippers did not set any tactics at the beginning.
Dunleavy completely handed over the offense to Cole, and Cole completely handed over the offense to the players, allowing them to create and seize opportunities.
This time it was Wallace's turn to praise the Clippers' offense, "This movement was really wonderful, and the pass easily tore apart our defense."
Wallace thought, Smart is so generous, how can I be so petty?
Turning around to look at Min Congda, he found that Min Congda had a gloomy face and was obviously not happy about the Clippers' goal.
"How on earth does Smart do it? Every time the team scores a goal, even when they are leading by ten or twenty points, he remains so unmoved and his expression remains unchanged?"
Every time Wallace watches football with Min Congda, he will find that he has many qualities that he cannot match.
It's really irritating that people are so different from each other. Why is there such a big gap between people?
Just as he was thinking about the Grizzlies' second attack, Conley and Griffin set up a pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Griffin.
Griffin caught the ball and rushed to the basket, but this time the layup was slapped away by Gasol, who was guarding him.
In the inside matchup, Gasol defends Griffin, and Randolph defends DeAndre Jordan. Anyway, DeAndre Jordan does not have the ability to attack independently.
Ricky Davis got the ball and quickly pushed back and passed it to Baron Davis again. Baron passed the ball to the frontcourt and Curry received the ball.
The Grizzlies' defense was still unheard of, so Curry made a direct three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the right three-point line and hit it!
Fast-break three-pointers are something Curry often does, and he does them well.
The Clippers quickly took advantage at the start, which is also the norm for them at the start of the last dozen games.
In the encounter, almost no team could withstand the Clippers' fierce offense in the opening because it was really too sharp.
"Damn, who the hell taught you to play like this, huh? On the fast break, you just throw three-pointers! Unorganized and undisciplined, just playing blindly!"
Min Congda was really helpless when he saw Curry chasing a three-pointer. After his comeback, his opponents and Min Congda were numb.
The Grizzlies' offense is completely opposite to that of the Clippers.
The board is positioned in a straight position, starting from the low position, with pick-and-rolls.
The Grizzlies' wing offense is relatively weak. Their starting lineup is centered on Griffin and focuses on slow-paced and high-intensity defense.
Then the substitutes relied on the two talented monsters OJ Mayo and Beasley to fight for points.
This is the main rhythm of the current Grizzlies game.
After Griffin caught the ball in the high post, his teammates made consecutive runs.
Griffin finally chose a high mid-range jump shot and hit it again!
The Grizzlies' three opening offenses were all completed by Griffin. It can be seen that Griffin is very emotional towards the Clippers.
But the Clippers' offense was like a cold knife, killing fish in RT-Mart for five years without any emotion at all.
Gasol held the ball high and transferred it to Ricky Davis on the wing.
Ricky observed the defense and suddenly accelerated from the bottom edge to the basket.
Facing Jordan's defense, he hit a throw and scored two points.
Ricky Davis also changed significantly during this period.
Originally, he had settled down to do 3D, squatting in the corner, and rarely took the initiative to attack.
But Steve Kerr retooled the Clippers' offense and believed Rickey's actions were a waste of his abilities.
Therefore, Ricky Davis is required to have autonomy in offense while ensuring defense.
As long as he feels the opportunity is good and he can attack with the ball, he can attack with the ball by himself.
One of the great benefits of the pass-and-cut tactic is that the starting formation is generally very wide.
The inside line will be freed up, giving outside players ample space to attack the basket.
In this way, each of the five Clippers has the ability to attack independently on the court.
This was the Bulls' offensive style in the first three quarters when Cole was with the Chicago Bulls.
Of course, at the critical moment in the fourth quarter, the ball will still be given to Jordan.
This is not only the case on offense, the Clippers players are also using their brains on defense to make adjustments based on the actual situation.
The Clippers' current starting lineup is relatively weak in perimeter defense. With double Davis and Curry, the defensive confrontation is average.
Gasol and Randolph don't move very fast either, so the defense shrinks a lot.
Positional battle defense, directly leaving Tony Allen open from the outside, allowing him to shoot.
"Let him shoot, let him shoot three-pointers!"
Gasol shouted, not giving Tony Allen any face.
And Tony Allen also lived up to Gasol's expectations, missing a three-point shot from the outside.
Xiaojia successfully grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed the ball to Balang, who followed the same pattern and passed it to Curry.
Curry continuously dribbled away from Conley's defense at the top of the arc and found an open space with the help of Randolph's screen.
Another three-point shot!
Hit!
Curry started tonight with a bang.
Min Congda sighed and closed his eyes again.
The question came up in my mind again, "Who the hell taught him to play like this?"
On the Clippers bench, when Steve Kerr saw Curry scoring consecutive goals in this extraordinary way, he once again sighed in his heart: "I was not wrong about Stephen Curry. His ability is indeed transcendent." Routine. However, if Mr. Smart had not trained him without any restrictions, his energy would not have been stimulated so early."
There will be another update later. The year has passed, and the troubles have increased... I update five times as early as possible, and it bothers me to write intermittently.
