"Oh, Blake Griffin fell down. I hope he was not injured. But I still have to push it forward. Don't break into the King's paint area easily in the future. It is very dangerous. If you are not lucky, you may fall down once. It will hurt.”
The game was broadcast live on tnt, stableman Albert said loudly.
"Wang Zelin has obviously become stronger this season. He is growing at an incredible speed every season, so I think you should not provoke him easily! The basket where he is sitting is tantamount to a no-fly zone. .”
Next to him, Kevin Harlan said in a warning tone.
"Blake, your flying altitude doesn't seem to be very good!"
After Wang Zelin landed, he looked down at Griffin lying at his feet, his eyes full of disdain.
Griffin had just fallen, and his butt was a little raw. When he heard Wang Zelin's shouting, he snorted in extreme displeasure.
The Clippers organized another attack with 9 seconds left.
At this time, Griffin once again moved up to the high position to provide a pick-and-roll for Paul.
Griffin, who also debuted as the No. 1 pick, and whose performance as a rookie exploded across the United States, does not have Howard's abandonment and disdain for pick-and-roll tactics.
On the contrary, Griffin, who has a high basketball IQ, likes to play pick-and-roll tactics with Paul. After all, it is easy to get enough after listening to others' advice.
Every time he faced the veteran Paul, Lillard felt as if he was facing a hedgehog and had no idea what to say.
Not surprisingly, he was easily passed by Paul again.
However, on the court, the moment Paul and Griffin completed the pick-and-roll, the Trail Blazers directly changed defense!
On the other side, Wang Zelin had switched positions with Aldridge by sliding a second ago, while Matthews directly switched defense and got in front of Griffin. Lillard also reacted very quickly and caught up. JJ Redick.
As a result, after the Clippers' pick-and-roll ended, the player who appeared in front of Paul had become Wang Zelin.
On the court, seeing Wang Zelin suddenly appearing in front of him again and Matthews clinging to Griffin, preventing Griffin from moving, Paul only thought for 0.01 seconds before decisively choosing to do it himself.
Theoretically, even if the Blazers have completed the defense switch, Griffin still has a certain height advantage over Matthews.
However, in actual competitions, this theory is not universal.
Because it is difficult for any player, including Wang Zelin, to take a direct shot when faced with a defensive player pressing close to him.
In addition, Griffin's position after the pick-and-roll is far away from the basket, so his height advantage cannot be used immediately.
Griffin has not yet developed the delicate ball control he had during the Pistons period, so it is unrealistic for him to play Matthews in isolation from the high post.
Therefore, it seems that Griffin successfully formed a big game against Matthews. In fact, the only thing the Clippers really formed was Paul's small game against Wang Zelin.
Faced with Paul's difficult-to-distinguish breakthrough in rhythm, Wang Zelin did not act like a fool and compete with Paul on agility and speed.
In the next moment, he decisively adopted a defensive strategy of penetrating shots, directly putting Paul inside, and then followed the Clippers helmsman behind Paul.
This defensive method is to prevent Paul from getting an easy shot in the mid-range after passing himself.
Don’t forget, Paul is also the mid-range master in the league!
And put him inside...
This is because at this moment, Aldridge has already returned to the basket.
Among the Clippers' starting five, Jordan is the one with the least offensive threat. As long as he leaves, the offensive threat will be approximately zero.
Therefore, at this moment, Aldridge directly dropped Jordan, turned around and took a step forward, forming a flanking attack on Paul with Wang Zelin...
duang~~~
Unfortunately.
Although Paul successfully penetrated the Trail Blazers' inside line, under interference from Aldridge, Paul's close-range throw circled around the rim and unfortunately rolled down.
Aldridge successfully protected the rebound.
After Lillard got the ball, the Trail Blazers quickly counterattacked.
At this time, Doc Rivers' idea of arranging Paul to see through the Blazers' serve through singles after the pick-and-roll before the game also came to nothing.
Because this season, the growth rate of the opposite No. 36 once again exceeded his imagination.
Especially the crazy help defense inside the three-point line, it began to look like one person supporting a team's defensive system.
Just like Tim Duncan who suffered a serious injury before 2003, and Howard who did not leave the Magic 10 years ago.
They are all the most typical representatives of one person supporting a team's defensive system.
Although Wang Zelin won a dopy last season, in fact, his defensive efficiency and defensive WS were still slightly inferior to Howard, who was at his peak during the three consecutive dopy periods.
The reason why he was able to win the supreme honor of dopy paying attention to the defensive end, in addition to his personal performance, also relied to a large extent on the dazzling team performance of the Blazers.
It must be admitted that Wang Zelin was not able to form an army in the paint like Duncan and Howard did last season.
But now, it's different.
Top physical fitness and top internal defense of up to 90+, as well as some outside players who are all above 70+ in speed, explosiveness and agility, all of which make Wang Zelin's energy on the defensive end even more explosive.
On the court, the Trail Blazers failed to make a fast break and fell into a defensive position.
Wang Zelin took the initiative to mention catching the ball in the high position.
Aldridge also moved to a high position to create a wall for Wang Zelin.
But this time, the Clippers' two big insiders were a little panicked.
Follow him out, the Clippers' penalty area is suddenly empty. With Wang Zelin averaging nearly 5 assists per game last season, this guy's ability to find loopholes in his opponents is definitely one of the best among inside players.
But if you don't follow him, whether it's Wang Zelin or Aldridge, the mid-range shooter has a brush, and he can pull it out and kill the ball whenever he gets the chance.
At present, the problem that the Trail Blazers throw to the Clippers is very typical, that is, you have to choose one of the two cups of poison.
However, they seem to have forgotten that time waits for no one.
At the moment when Jordan and Griffin were struggling briefly, when Lillard passed the ball to Wang Zelin, Wang Zelin looked up...
No, what about people?
Is this looking down on me?
Oh~~~
In the high post, Wang Zelin, who received the pass, raised his hand and dropped the knife, using a accurately guided half-shot to add two more points to the Blazers' scoring account.
4:0.
Tonight, the Trail Blazers, led by Wang Zhilin, gave fans an amazing performance from the beginning.
to be honest.
After just a few rounds, even the most optimistic Clippers fans could see the gap in strength between the two teams due to their dominance on the court.
First, Griffin was blocked for a dunk, and then Paul missed a throw!
As for DeAndre Jordan...
emmmmmmm
Even Griffin and Paul can't count on a stand-up insider who just wants to take advantage of the cake. Can they still rely on him?
Wake up, don't dream anymore. It's better to expect Jordan to attack than to expect him to slightly restrict Wang Zelin's performance on the defensive end.
In short, in the eyes of many home fans on the sidelines, the current Clippers have lost to the Trail Blazers regardless of offense or defense.
There were noisy gongs and drums and vowed revenge plans before the game. From the current point of view, there is a high probability that the rhythm will be cool!
