And Carter only turns 25 in two months!
Li Ao had some regrets about this. He hoped that would not happen. If the healthy Carter grew up to be twenty-seven or eight years old...
He never understood that the Raptors, an ordinary Eastern Conference playoff team, had no hope of breaking out of the Eastern Conference. Why did that guy want to do something wrong? Is it purely because he has a twisted heart and doesn't want to see others good? And you only pick soft persimmons?
When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao continued to move around the pile from the wing to the top arc.
Maurice Peterson and Antonio Davis chose to switch defenses this time. Antonio Davis moved to the free throw line to cover Li Ao's catch and shoot and block the advance route.
Seeing this, Jordan took a step forward, turned right, and rushed in from the middle!
Carter actually followed up with this ball, but it was Jordan who was playing in isolation. Maurice Peterson subconsciously received the ball in the middle, and Jordan distributed the ball!
Odom cuts to the left side of the three-second zone, catches the ball and takes a step for a layup... It's tough, Olajuwon is blocked, and Carter moves in to protect the defensive rebound.
Jordan threw away his hands and retreated. Zuo Mo and Zhen Mo had a common flaw - they couldn't play without the ball.
Ball-holding center, breakthrough forward, and organizational point guard, both of them are only suitable for these three styles of play.
This ball allows Odom to break through and score the ball directly, which is better than letting Odom cut into the frame without the ball. Cutting in to catch the ball and attack the frame is not in Odom's rhythm.
Let Odom take charge and Jordan can also play, but Bibby will become a pure catcher and shooter...
Offense and defense transition, Carter continues to break through the offense, O'Neill moves towards the free throw line, Odom tacitly receives the basket to cover Olajuwon, Carter distributes the ball to Antonio Davis from the bottom line, and Jordan closes the bottom line to block the defense. In place!
Antonio Davis wanted to deflect Jordan's hard shot...but he couldn't! He chose to take advantage of his height and wingspan to hit high and high...it's awesome!
The ball hit the basket and bounced out of bounds!
Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens shook his head repeatedly. The opponent's defense switching speed and choice of defense were so beautiful that it made his scalp numb.
However, they also defend very well!
When Olajuwon's physical strength is good, their defense is also top in the league!
Take advantage of this period to increase the intensity of the wing confrontation, consume the touch of the wing pitchers, drag the game into a bloody battle, and finally defeat the opponent with Carter's personal ability... This is their game strategy tonight.
In the last round, Odom cut in to catch the ball and attack the frame. It was not accidental, but they had planned it. If they couldn't guard the God of Basketball and Spider-Man, they would let Odom off the ball.
On the court, after the ball went out of bounds, the Raptors players quickly retreated, trying to get into position and implement a defensive strategy. At this time, a long bass whistle sounded! The Clippers have made a substitution!
Odom was replaced and Matt Halprin came on!
Wilkens had a question mark on his head.
After only two rounds, 1 minute and 12 seconds later, the opponent replaced the core inside player? What kind of operation is this!
Then he saw Li Ao running to receive Bibby's pass and then passing the second pass. Matt Halprin cut in and received the ball, knocking Olajuwon away and putting the ball into the basket!
After Matt Halprin came on the court, the Clippers' forward's ability to cut and attack the frame without the ball has been greatly improved!
When the Raptors attacked, Carter continued to score sudden points.
Jordan and Matt Halprin guarded the wings, and the Raptors couldn't cut from the wings!
After Jordan contracted, Bibby actively made up for Maurice Peterson, who was a top-notch three-pointer, and Carter had to pass the ball to Alvin Williams.
After Alvin Williams received the ball from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, he did not shoot, but broke inside.
Matt Halprin's inferiority to Odom was exposed. He couldn't switch to guard the back line like Odom. He blocked it in place, but Alvin Williams easily avoided it with a half-step in the breakthrough.
But Matt Halprin can do this, and based on his current position on the field, it is enough!
Alvin Williams suddenly made a throw from close range. The shrinking Li Ao fought hard to defend. With his height, wingspan and bullet speed, his fingertips poked the ball when it reached the highest point!
The ball continued to fly toward the basket, but the direction was already deflected, and it hit the neck of the basket and fell.
Jordan shrank to grab the board and got together with Olajuwon who was going around the basket.
The ball was knocked out of bounds, and the bottom line referee whistled decisively. Olajuwon's knee touched the ball out of bounds, and the Clippers kicked the ball out of the backcourt.
Carter frowned and retreated.
Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Halprin, and O'Neal Jr., how do they protect the frame?
Antonio Davis, as their second scorer and leading scorer in the paint, can't cut in at all!
The forward combination of Matt Halprin and Jordan is simply not something Antonio Davis can handle.
Not to mention this pie-eating insider, even his new flying man couldn't deal with the encirclement and suppression of these four people when he rushed in when he saw the four people on the opposite side surrounding the three-second zone.
When the Clippers attacked, Bibby continued to break through the pick-and-roll with O'Neal. Olajuwon did a good job switching defenses. Bibby had no chance to make a jump shot. He distributed the ball to Jordan's hand on the left side of the free throw line with the help of a screen. inside.
Matt Halprin cut in after covering for Jordan. Olajuwon contracted with all his strength to block the pass. Together with Carter, he blocked the impact of football players. At the same time, he also took into account the blocking of O'Neal's cut and catch. Jordan faced Antonio- Davis switches defense and passes again...
Li Ao took advantage of Morris Peterson to interfere with Bibby's ball, cut in from the wing, received Jordan's pass, and scored two points with a one-handed dunk in three strides before Olajuwon recovered the basket!
Olajuwon gasped and looked at Spider-Man, who raised his head and opened his arms to enjoy the cheers of the fans when he retreated. This ball, if he were 10 years younger... No! Even 5 years younger, he can hold on.
But now he has the awareness and knows how to defend, but after doing the previous things, when it comes to blocking Li Ao at the end, he can't do it at all, and can only take two symbolic steps to the inside.
In the transition between offense and defense, Carter received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.
"Flyer, just shoot, just shoot the three-pointer. It's useless for you to rush in."
Carter ignored Li Ao's voice, did he think he was stupid? A three-pointer against the big spider? He will wait until he finds Antonio Davis as a sparring partner to practice the step-back three-pointer facing the inside.
After his teammates got into position, Carter passed the ball to Alvin Williams and pulled aside.
Li Ao followed Carter closely and kept talking, saying in a surprised tone: "Flyer, do you want to be a pushing point guard for the best OK combination in the world? Do you want to be John Paxson or Derek Fisher or Ronaldo? Well, Harper? Say goodbye, come to our Clippers team and serve as a substitute for the God of Basketball for two years. You will be the leader of Los Angeles in the future..."
Li Ao's mouth was like a barrage of bullets, and Carter didn't even have a breath to reply. When he saw Alvin Williams starting to break through, he secretly pushed Li Ao with his arm, turned around and ran away... and then Li Ao caught up with him and pinched him in the waist. A handful...
Alvin Williams broke through and passed Bibby. Although Bibby didn't guard him, he didn't give the opponent a chance to go to the middle.
Alvin Williams rushed to the right side of the three-second zone and saw O'Neal's movement under the basket. He wanted to pass the ball to the left side...but he couldn't!
Morris Peterson in the right corner was followed closely by Jordan. Matt Halprin moved to the middle of the three-second zone. Carter and Li Ao were pinching each other in the top arc direction...
Alvin Williams had no choice but to continue deep inside and throw a close shot from the right side of the three-second zone... From this distance, he has averaged 0.5 points per game so far in his career, which is awesome!
Matt Halprin received the defensive rebound from the basket.
The Clippers' defense in this round, Alvin Williams was also numb!
Carter can break through and disrupt the opponent's defense, forcing the opponent to quickly switch defenses and create open opportunities, because he is Carter!
Alvin Williams? The Clippers easily locked up!
