Jeremy Lin's three-pointer is of great significance to the Clippers.
This was their third three-pointer of the game.
Prior to this, they had made 8 attempts and only scored 2 goals.
The shooting rate was quite low, causing the Cavaliers' defense to shrink and shrink, and the Clippers' passing and cutting became weak.
The three-pointer is an important part of the Clippers' passing system.
Seeing that Jeremy Lin could hit a three-pointer, Tyronn Lue decided to let Jeremy Lin stay on the court a little longer.
He originally planned to let Jeremy Lin support for two more rounds and then find an opportunity to replace Curry again.
Subsequently, the Cavaliers outside Shane Battier failed to hit a three-pointer.
The Clippers got the backcourt rebound, Jeremy Lin got the ball, and still gave it to Harden.
Harden quickly crossed the half court to organize a counterattack. This was still a good opportunity for the Clippers to catch up with the score.
Jeremy Lin suddenly made a forward move and drove into the basket from the middle.
Harden passed the ball to Jeremy Lin, and Jeremy Lin received the ball and went straight for an empty layup!
This air cut was very beautiful and caught the Cavaliers off guard.
The Clippers' position was very wide, Jeremy Lin's air cuts were beautiful, and Harden's passing was even more exciting.
Mike Brown feels something is wrong, and the Clippers' offense is showing signs of gradually becoming more active.
Irving was indeed sharp on the offensive end and embarrassed Fisher.
But he also has many problems on the defensive end.
Facing a heavy defender like Jeremy Lin, he couldn't stand his defense.
The Cavaliers made a quick change and James reappeared.
Tyronn Lue is thinking about whether to let Jeremy Lin stay on the court?
It stands to reason that Jeremy Lin has successfully completed the task with one three-pointer and one cut.
Next, it was time to send Curry on the stage, and the main players from both sides gradually came on stage to finish the first half.
Tyronn Lue's substitutions were like this before. When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether you are playing well or not.
But with Jeremy Lin, Tyronn Lue hesitated.
Because of this headwind for the Clippers, the team is now in good momentum and should not let this momentum be interrupted.
Curry's performance tonight was quite average. The key is Tyronn Lue, who couldn't think of a good way to help Curry solve the Cavaliers' defense.
what to do? Hesitating in his heart, Tyronn Lue couldn't help but think: "If Smart was the coach, how would he choose? He..."
Tyronn Lue ponders Min Chongda's coaching style during the first six games of the season.
Curry came off the bench within a few minutes of the first quarter, and the substitute players played a lot of time, switching between various styles, and the opponent was confused.
That is the true god of coaching, he is at ease and does not care whether his players are stars or whether they need playing time.
Everyone is just a pawn in his hand.
If a chess piece is useful, you must use it to its full potential!
"Jamie Lin, you should stay on the court. Remember, attack and keep attacking your opponent!"
Tyronn Lue gave Jeremy Lin the order to attack!
Jeremy Lin thought that after performing for so long, he would come down to rest after completing his task.
Unexpectedly, Tyronn Lue continued to give opportunities to keep Jeremy Lin on the court and asked him to attack more.
With both Curry and Harden being closely targeted, Jeremy Lin's sudden emergence has really caused trouble for the Cavaliers.
Generally speaking, having two strong ball-holding scoring points on the outside is scary.
Just like the current Los Angeles Lakers, with one Kobe and one Paul, there are too many changes on the offensive end, which cannot be suppressed at all.
Curry and Harden are still young, just in their third year, and their skills and experience have not yet been fully developed.
The Cavaliers, who are rich in perimeter defensive resources, can contain two people at the same time, greatly limiting the Clippers' offense.
But if the Clippers have another offensive point with the ball on the outside, the Cavaliers will be in trouble.
Just like the Thunder, with three ball-holding points, it will be very scary in the playoffs.
It's just that the Thunder's offense with the ball inside is too bad. If Ibaka had the ability to eat as hard as Randolph, the Thunder's strength would definitely be the best in the league.
Now, the Clippers suddenly have a pretty good third point of attack.
Although he is not sure whether it is completely reliable, Tyronn Lue thinks it is worth a try.
Curry, who was originally going to play, didn't lose his temper because he was used to it anyway.
When Min Congda was a coach before, he went too far and didn't play well.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Cavaliers replaced Irving and replaced him with Sessions.
James also appeared on the court. As soon as the Cavaliers came up, James held the ball in the middle and attacked the basket.
Facing James' bulldozer-like layup, Gasol didn't have many options and could only foul.
Standing on the free throw line, James made a free throw, one of two free throws, 29:38, and the score difference was 9 points.
The two sides returned to the state at the end of the first quarter.
The Cavaliers were a little confused that Jeremy Lin was still on the court.
Curry just continues to sit on the bench? Is this still the team's top pick?
The Clippers' backcourt ball carrier is still Harden.
Jeremy Lin began to play the role of Curry.
Movement, space.
But Jeremy Lin's running ability is obviously much worse than Curry.
He mainly squats in the bottom corner and waits for opportunities.
Harden cooperates with Gasol in the high post.
Gasol caught the ball and made a throw after the pick-and-roll.
The Clippers' offense is slowly recovering.
James went low again, caught the ball, and hit Leonard with his back.
Leonard came off the bench and started facing off against the league's top small forwards.
In the first quarter, James showed people the results of his summer practice.
Although the action is ugly, it is useful and can score goals and assists.
But this time, James just caught the ball and was still holding the ball to observe.
Behind him, Leonard suddenly reached out and knocked the ball out of James' hand!
This steal caught James off guard and he wanted to reach for the ball. Leonard grabbed the ball and passed it to his teammate.
Jeremy Lin got the ball!
This time, Jeremy Lin did not pass the ball to Harden, but he held the ball and went down quickly!
Jeremy Lin is not slow. He counterattacked with the ball and quickly crossed the half court.
Without even looking at the opponent's pursuit, he went straight to the basket and succeeded in a left-handed layup!
This rush was so fierce that he didn't stop the car after a successful layup, and his whole body flew off the baseline.
Young people are young people, they don't slow down at all for layups, they just charge hard!
Afraid of being caught up by opponents.
At 31:38, the Clippers chased the point difference to 7 points, and Jeremy Lin also scored 7 points.
At this time, the Cavaliers realized that they had to pay attention to the Asian player No. 17.
His scoring streak is causing trouble and cracks in the Cavaliers' otherwise solid defense.
James, Danny Green and others are wondering, how to guard against this kid?
Are you going to defend him the same way you would defend Curry? What will happen if Curry comes on the court later?
The Cavaliers need to score now.
James no longer pretended to be in the low post, but just faced the basket and beat Leonard one-on-one.
The mid-range jump shot with a sudden stop was quite accurate when James felt good.
With the offense and defense out of position, Jeremy Lin controlled the ball for half the game. This time he did not choose to hand the ball to Harden for organization.
Instead, he takes the ball and directs his teammates' movements on the line.
Gasol came over to cover Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin waved his hand to get out of the way. He wanted to beat Sessions one-on-one!
Breakthrough, change direction, use his body to force his way to the basket, beat Sessions, and succeeded in a right-hand layup!
The ball goes in! It also caused Sessions’ defensive foul!
After scoring the goal, Jeremy Lin vigorously patted the sponge pad under the basket.
Then he high-fived his teammates. His performance so far in the second quarter has been that he has completely controlled the Clippers' offense.
All the shots he took were made, including three-pointers, two-pointers, fast breaks, and free throws!
At 34:40, the Clippers were only 6 points away from catching up.
Min Congda scratched his face and thought: "Who is this No. 17? Is there such a person in our team? Where did he come from? Should he be laid off?"
Some people died, but not completely...
