The Clippers'' inside line is worth $30 million, but what many people can''t imagine is that the Grizzlies have the lowest defensive efficiency this season.
Even, it is less efficient than the degenerated Matt Barnes.
Although Jordan is still easy to eat, but you have to say that his defense will drag down the team, certainly not.
There are two reasons for this situation. One is that the flank leakage is too serious. Little Jordan always spends too much energy to assist in defense. It is easy to miss his opponent and make an empty cut, or be pulled out by the inner line with range.
Second, as a substitute, hoyce''s defense was very bad. In a previous game when King played the clippers, koshins made a few fouls for little Jordan, and then he could rest assured of "eating".
These reasons, greatly reduced the Clippers interior defense efficiency.
When little Jordan defends under the basket, the opponent''s under basket hit rate is only 46.8%. However, for Griffin and hoys, the figures soared to 57.7% and 59.0% respectively.
Jordan''s defense is not too small. It''s not that Jordan can''t make up too many loopholes.
So, if you want to solve the Clippers'' interior defense, it''s a way to keep Jordan away from the penalty area, or let the center pull out to shoot.
Gasol and Whiteside are undoubtedly very suitable for such a task. When Gasol pulls Jordan out, Whiteside is completely invincible in the interior, and Griffin''s defensive threat under the basket is as powerless as the data shows.
Jordan would be very hesitant in the face of this situation, he wanted to put pressure on Gasol, but he didn''t have the super defensive coverage ability of Noah or top Garnett.
As a result, the clipper''s interior was not pleasing at both ends. Either Pau Gasol took the opportunity to shoot, or Whiteside made a good shot in the inside.
This fatal flaw in the clipper''s interior gave the Grizzlies six points.
During the break, Doug rivers told little Jordan to defend Whiteside and not let the 10 day boy do what he wanted inside.
He believes that with a simple transposition defense, the Grizzlies'' twin towers will lose their power.
Rivers, however, was wrong.
After a pause, the Clippers failed in their first attack.
Paul was looking for singles, but Conley''s defense was tight enough to interfere with Paul''s shot.
When the Grizzlies attack again, Gasol is still in the high position. Griffin changes defense to Gasol, little Jordan is nailed to the basket by Whiteside.
Both of the clipper''s interior lines were struggling, so the rest of the Grizzlies had plenty of opportunities to cut.
Pau Gasol in the high position, over Griffin''s head to the ball to cut Butler.
Under normal circumstances, little Jordan or Griffin will go to the defense in time. But now, neither Griffin nor Jordan Jr. can make it.
So, Butler took the ball easily, the Grizzlies leveled the score!
Twenty seconds later, the grizzly bear came back. It''s still Gasol, he''s high assists, Conley''s mid range shot.
The principle is the same as butler''s ball, little Jordan and Griffin can''t help defend, others can shoot easily.
After Pau Gasol''s ability to respond to the high position was displayed incisively and vividly, Griffin tried to let go of Gasol, intending to pull out to defend others.
But unfortunately, the clippers were quickly punished by Gasol''s mid shot!
The Spaniard''s mid shot, is not a step!
Gasol''s midrange shot this season is much more solid than before, and he can now be used as an independent offensive point.
Gasol completely smashed Griffin in the high position, and Doug rivers'' change of defense policy did not have any effect.
There are several times, Jordan and Griffin want to bag Gasol, but Gasol repeatedly pass Whiteside easy dunk scores.
The Grizzlies'' twin towers have swept the Clippers'' inner line, which started with an eight point lead, then leveled, and then gradually fell behind.
By the end of the half-time, the score was 52-41. Grizzlies in the second quarter of the overall suppression of the clippers, anti super got a 9-point lead!
Pau Gasol had 16 points and 5 assists at half-time, and his mid-range shot and response made the Clippers not know how to deal with it.
Whiteside also won 12 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocked gorgeous half-time data. He kept calm and didn''t mess up, which was the second consecutive excellent performance, proving that he was not a flash in the pan.
Jordan Jr. and Griffin''s data in the second quarter were almost stagnant. Little Jordan half-time 8 points 5 rebounds, compared with the first quarter only 2 points 1 rebound data.
Griffin had 9 points and 4 rebounds in half-time, only 4 points and 2 rebounds more than that in the first quarter.
This represents the Clippers proud of the inside line, killed to pieces!
If it wasn''t for Reddick, who has been cold at the moment this season, and Crawford''s excellent performance, the Clippers would be two digits behind!After the half-time game, link, who almost passed the ball in the second quarter, happily accepted the reporter''s side interview.
"Link, how would you rate mark and Hassan''s performance in the second quarter?"
The question is very simple. Link is good at praising his teammates and belittling his opponents.
"Before the game, people said that the Clippers'' $30 million inside line was invincible. But as it turns out, their insiders are seriously overpriced! Gasol''s salary this season is 15.8 million, Whiteside''s 10 day short contract... Well, 21000 dollars, two people add up to less than 16 million. so what? We have won
Link took the clipper''s 30 million inside line without any hesitation, and the pride of clipper fans instantly turned into shame.
"So, in the second half, will you continue to play inside? Today, in the second quarter, you didn''t make a lot of moves. Was it because of the calf injury? " The reporter asked link another question. Although Gasol and Whiteside performed well today, link is still the only leading player in the FedEx stadium.
"Speaking of my calves... I have to say that some people lose quickly, which is really dirty. But don''t worry, I''m fine. No one can knock me down, even by unconventional means. And the one who didn''t pull me down should be very careful. " Link immediately put off his smile and it was time for Paul to pay the price.
He''s a very vindictive man.
Back in the dressing room after the interview, link found that everyone was waiting for himself.
Joel grinned at Whiteside and Gasol, who had already accomplished their mission.
These two guys in the second quarter of the excellent attack, has let the Clippers all walk. Gasol and Whiteside can score as long as anyone dares to defend. If the Clippers don''t want to continue to be blasted inside, they have to be honest man to man defense.
Next, link won''t have to deal with such a tight package.
In other words, link, the ultimate killer, has finally been liberated!
"Link, in the second half, the right to go back to you. Keep up the difference. As long as we stick to the last five minutes, we''ll have a good chance of winning Joel didn''t want link to rush too hard. After all, he was hurt now.
As long as we can stabilize the difference, we can finish the task.
"Come on, link. I''ve had a good time. It''s your turn! If Andrew daredevil still dares to trap you, I will not be merciful. I will let him stay by my side Whiteside showed off his big biceps and fully supported link.
Gasol also patted link on the shoulder and was happy to be able to help in a crisis.
Link nodded gently, thanking his teammates for their trust.
"Thank you for your efforts. I''ll leave it to me. But we don''t have to wait for the last five minutes, I promise it will be over before the fourth quarter comes
Tony Allen sighed slightly as link said this in a very serious tone.
But Paul stepped on the red line very seriously.
Now, prepare to face the real anger and pay for your mistakes.
Tonight''s FedEx stadium is bound to experience a boring garbage time.
