Chapter 151 Strong Lu Yi, the new king!
At the beginning of the game, Horford beat Jordan with a jump ball, and the Eagles won the first attack.
Bibby dribbled the ball across half court and gave the ball directly to singles Joe.
In singles, Joe held the ball in the top arc and motioned for others to pull away. He looked more like Kobe than Jordan.
Singles Joe put on this posture, Lu Yi naturally couldn't be indifferent, and immediately put up defense.
In the singles game, Joe hit his crotch continuously, trying to shake off Lu Yi's center of gravity.
On the contrary, Lu Yi sank down, and his small steps kept following the rhythm changes of singles Joe.
I have to say that Joe's playing rhythm in singles is indeed extraordinary.
Just when the singles Joe suddenly changed direction ahead of time and was about to launch a breakthrough, Lu Yi hurriedly followed, lost control of his ankle, and almost lost his balance.
Fortunately, Joe didn't choose to break through and defeat Lu Yi in singles, but tried to shoot in singles.
If the singles Joe breaks through him and Lu Yi is robbed, he may not be able to defend the singles Joe.
But in singles, Joe collected the ball and took off, which gave Lu Yi a certain amount of reaction time.
Before Lu Yi could stand still, he immediately jumped up and reached out to block the shot.
It just so happened that Joe shot the ball in singles at this time, most likely because of interference from Lu Yi, the three-point shot was shortened by a bit, and it was a direct non-stick.
Immediately after the ball, the rebound was protected by Boozer under the basket.
Boozer quickly passed the ball to Iverson who was running back, but Bibby's game experience is not a general order.
Iverson was limited by Bibby's advance speed, and the Clippers could only play positional warfare.
When Jordan settled down inside, Iverson tried to drive to the basket and connect with Jordan.
But there were many good opportunities, and the ball finally passed to Ariza on the outside.
Ariza tried to shoot an open three-pointer to try his hand, which is understandable.
It's a pity that the three-pointer technique has not yet improved, and this excellent open opportunity has not yet been grasped.
The rebound was protected by Marvin Williams, and the Hawks also tried to play a fast break.
Relying on Josh Smith's outstanding physical talent, the ball was almost scored by Josh Smith who went to the basket.
In the end, Lu Yi assisted in the defense in time. Although he failed to block the ball, he temporarily destroyed the ball through a foul.
Lu Yi is basically not troubled by fouls, so it is not a big problem to pay for the number of fouls early.
Then Josh Smith made one of two free throws.
Although the Eagles took the lead in breaking the scoring shortage and scored the first point of the game, the Clippers quickly overtook the score with the help of Lu Yi's three-pointer.
The Eagles also seem to have the idea of training in the playoffs. There are only two opportunities to play against the Clippers in a season.
This season, the Eagles' offensive end relies on everyone to pick up firewood, and they play brilliantly.
The defensive end needs a little attention. It relies more on the forward line to constantly pinch the zone defense and play a good defensive efficiency.
Today, the Eagles feel that the Clippers are giving them strength, but they still want to try, relying on basic man-to-man marking, can they limit a strong western team like the Clippers.
The striker's help defense and switch defense will be useful, but they cannot be used all the time.
Eastern strong team, the Celtics not only have Garnett, but also O'Neal.
In addition to Bosh, the Heat also have Big Z.
They are all configurations of the Big Three + a big center. If the Eagles want to make some gains in the playoffs in a few years, they cannot focus their defense on the outside. Instead, they need to pay attention to the protection of the inside.
In other words, as long as the Eagles are in the regular season, they will experience the outside test of the Clippers.
Basically, it can be explained that there is hope to limit the perimeter of the Celtics and Heat through man-to-man marking.
In addition, the limited defensive resources can be allocated to the inside first, so that the defensive weak links of the Eagles' overall lineup can be strengthened, so as to avoid exposing any shortcomings on the defensive end.
However, let a swingman like Joe, who is only a little taller than Lu Yi, defend Lu Yi in singles, it can't be said to be looked down upon, it can only be said to be overestimated.
Kobe's defense is much better than Joe's singles. Even so, Kobe's defense against Lu Yi is a bit difficult.
Now Lu Yi's offensive firepower, even if it is not above Kobe, is at the same level. Even in the face of frequent double-teams, he can score as he wants.
Now Joe singles against Lu Yi, give him a little chance, don't care about 21 [-], just hold the ball and do it.
Raise your hand and hit a three-pointer.
3 to 1, took a two-point lead, relative to helping the Clippers earn an offensive round.
Soon, the Hawks launched a counterattack, Bibby dribbled the ball halfway, and launched a pick-and-roll with Josh Smith.
Josh Smith used singles Joe to attract defense on the weak side, as well as his own athletic talent, directly opened up Ariza, and reached the basket in two steps.
It's a pity that I started early and when I was about to finish, I met Jordan's big body.
Jordan only needs to eat cakes on the offensive end, and has too much energy and physical strength on the defensive end.
Let him start this season. After more than three months, his offensive ability has not increased much, but his defense has somewhat evolved.
Josh Smith's dunk was blocked. Lu Yi, who was originally defending singles Joe on the weak side, took advantage of the opportunity to catch up with the ball actively flying out of the sideline, jumped up to save the ball, and dialed the ball to Ariza who turned back.
Ariza took a dribble, saw Iverson rushing forward without the ball, and immediately passed the ball.
Just as the Eagles focused on Iverson, Lui ran from the sideline to the strong side corner.
Originally, Iverson rushed into the basket and was surrounded by Bibby and single-player Joe, but this time he passed the ball directly, and Lu Yi made another three-pointer.
brush--
Go in!
6 to 1, all together!
For two consecutive rounds, the point difference was widened to 5 points, which suddenly made the Clippers fans unable to sit still.
"Haha, is Lu Yi going to warm up for the three-point long-range shooting competition in advance?"
"You really deserve to be the three-point leader! This is the powerful strength that belongs to the scoring leader!"
"You don't really think that Lu Yi can be single-guarded to death, do you? The Eagles can leak out the open space, which is a bit inappropriate!"
"Joe Johnson should be chasing Louie, not the AI who defends the rim with Mike Bibby."
"I'm the only one who thinks that they treat Lu Yi's defense too loosely?"
Let Lu Yi make two consecutive three-pointers, which really shouldn't be done.
Hawks head coach Larry Drew immediately called a timeout, emphatically instructing singles Joe not to over-help defense.
Be sure to keep an eye on Lu Yi, and don't let Lu Yi shoot a three-pointer without interference.
Joe nodded in singles, but when he returned to the court, it didn't really have the effect of restricting Lu Yi's attack.
After the first quarter, Lu Yi made 7 of 6 shots, 5 of 4 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 16 points with pure points.
On the other hand, in singles, Joe made 5 of 2 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. Although he scored 9 points, the same possession was still far from Lu Yi's efficient 16 points.
22 to 31, the Clippers entered the second quarter with a 9-point advantage.
Originally thought that the game was stable, but never expected that someone would stand up when Joe pulled his hips in the second quarter of the singles.
Jeff Teague and Lu Yi were drafted in the same year, with the 19th pick in the first round. Although it is not high, it is not too bad.
This year is his second year, but it's a pity that last year he played too little time, didn't have the ball, and didn't get much training.
But in today's game, Teague seized his opportunity in the singles against Joe.
As a point guard, he came on as a substitute for Bibby. When Joe couldn't play in singles, no one in the Eagles cared, why the ball was always on him.
And Teague seems to have awakened the soul of the mamba all of a sudden, breaking through from the top arc, going around the bottom line on the weak side, passing through the basket, and going back to the top of the arc from the bottom corner of the strong side.
The other nine players and three referees on the field, after watching him go around in a big circle, Teague seemed to be not satisfied, so he went around again.
This time it really confused Jordan.
Jordan mistook Teague to dribble his damn basketball, and accidentally lost his frontal defensive position at the basket.
Without noticing Teague's actions, Teague suddenly jumped up at the bottom of the basket and hit a backboard.
As Teague used up the Clippers' defensive patience to steal chickens, and after he suddenly succeeded, Teague intensified and began to control the ball unscrupulously.
If it was in the fourth quarter, the Hawks trailed by as much as 10 points, and Teague dribbled the ball almost every round to consume 24 seconds of attack time, which would definitely be sprayed to death by Hawks fans.
But now it's only the second quarter, and Teague's dribbling like this, even if it is a mentality, will not have much impact on other Eagles players and fans.
Originally, Teague was so high that the Clippers, who were leading the score, were a bit drained of morale, and there was no way to expand their advantage all at once.
Teague took the lead, and he was able to score, although it took a little longer, and he didn't pass the ball to his teammates, which made other teammates a little bit concerned.
The problem is, Teague led the team to chase points!
Facts speak louder than words, and a point guard who can lead the team to chase points is a good player.
Teague made 4 of 4 shots in the second quarter and scored 8 points. It seemed that he didn't score much, but it played a lot of effects.
24 to 23, this is the score of the two teams in the second quarter.
Under the leadership of Teague's "Grinding Yanggong", the Eagles recovered the 1-point difference in the second quarter.
By the third quarter, the Clippers offense was also affected by the second quarter.
Although it's not a scoring shortage, I feel that the rhythm of the game has been weirdly deviated, and I just can't find that smooth feeling. In short, it's very constipated.
The only thing that is not affected, perhaps, is Lu Yi's touch, which is still good.
In the third quarter, Lu Yi played a lot. He made 8 of 6 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 16 points in a single quarter again.
With the addition of 16 points in the first quarter and 10 points in the second quarter, Lu Yi has scored 42 points in three quarters.
In the past, Lu Yi had already clocked out of get off work early.
However, Lu Yi was forced to work overtime today.
Because through the third quarter, the Eagles recovered the point difference by 2 points.
If the Clippers want to win, Lu Yi may not only have to score another 10 points, but maybe score 20 points in a single quarter to help the team win.
It is worth mentioning that in the first three quarters, the Eagles strictly guarded against the inside line according to the plan, and used abundant forward resources to effectively cut off the internal and external connections of the Clippers.
It is also because of this that even though Lu Yi feels hot, the Clippers still failed to gain much advantage in the first three quarters.
Basketball is a five-man game, and it's also a problem with jump shots and no one scoring in the paint.
However, in the fourth quarter, the Hawks suddenly changed.
Lu Yi originally worked overtime and went directly to try to cooperate with his teammates to play a wave of offensive climax and suppress the eagle's momentum of chasing points.
Then you can go down and rest for a while, even if there is a situation later, you can come up again.
They never expected that after this wave of playing, they would be directly drawn out, and there was no chance of being replaced at all.
The Eagles changed their formation in the fourth quarter and double-teamed Lu Yi who was holding the ball as soon as he came up.
As soon as Louie got the ball, singles Joe and Josh Smith went up.
In the third quarter, Lu Yi, who was fully fired, was tired from playing.
In the fourth quarter, take the ball and do it again, and hit a singles Joe, that's a no-brainer.
But it's a bit difficult to meet two young strikers double-teaming.
Lu Yi handed over the ball and tried to help his teammates without the ball.
For a while, Iverson actually felt a little helpless with the Eagles.
You can only rush halfway, trying to get in touch with the insider.
Jordan still hasn't gotten the hang of it, and he still has a little tacit understanding with Iverson in the pick-and-roll.
In the end, the Clippers can only let Boozer bold inside for a while.
Boozer singles Marvin Williams, the problem is not big.
After making 3 of 2 shots and scoring 4 points in a row, the Eagles reacted immediately.
Next, the Eagles resorted to defending around the front, which solved a lot of unnecessary troubles at once.
Fortunately, Lu Yi also rested for a while. Although the opportunity to attack with the ball is not very good, he can try to play back and attack in Kobe's way.
Lu Yi's scoring efficiency suddenly dropped a lot, and even made a mistake.
Fortunately, driven by Lu Yi, the Clippers can still score.
Just when the two teams were still 6 points behind, the Eagles coach Larry Drew, who was a dead horse, chose to gamble again and arranged for Teague to return to the game.
Winning or losing does not matter.
Teague's unique style of play makes people love and hate.
The Clippers' offensive rhythm was destroyed by Teague, but the few game time was wasted by Teague.
It's not that the Eagles have no chance to overtake the score, but the Clippers played behind and found that Teague was not in a hurry, so they also sought stability.
Iverson was small, with a low center of gravity and a quick start.
It is difficult for a single defense to destroy the dribble. Lu Yi directly rests on the logo area on both sides of the top arc, focusing on the last 5 seconds of the attack time, and just catch the pot and make a strong shot.
At the critical moment, the Eagles defended very seriously and would not really let Bibby defend Iverson alone and ignore Iverson's breakthrough.
It was also because of this that Lu Yi was not as deadly as he was guarded against.
Although the shots are all catches, Lu Yi has the ability to catch the ball and shoot immediately, and then hit the ball.
He made 6 of 2 three-pointers, and Lu Yi almost took all the Clippers' shots in the last 4 minutes.
And in the case that each round of offense consumes nearly 20 seconds, Lu Yi scored 4 points in 6 minutes. You should be able to guess what happened, right?
The scoring efficiency was not high at the critical moment, but Lu Yi almost killed the game by himself.
99 to 106, the Clippers finally won the East-West dialogue with a 7-point advantage.
Lu Yi made 32 of 21 shots, 15 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. Lu Yi, who scored 56 points, also became the focus of fans and reporters after the game.
"Lu Yi is too powerful!"
"We're watching the birth of a legend."
"The legend belonging to Los Angeles will not end. Kobe may not have found his successor, but Los Angeles has chosen its new king!"
