In the first round of offense after his debut, the Clippers' offense started from the inside. George's timely double-team not only interfered with Embiid's strong attack, but also forced him to have problems with the ball. Fernandez didn't feel good about receiving the ball. The adjusted shot failed to hit, Porzingis protected the rebound, and the pressure in his heart was relieved a lot.

Objectively speaking, Embiid puts a lot of pressure on him, and this is not only reflected in the offensive end, Embiid is the most promising among the young generation of centers, and part of the reason is his dpoy-level defense . The only Gobert who can compare with him on the defensive end is basically a pie-eating man on the offensive end. Although the output is also about 15 points in statistics, it basically comes from eating pie at the basket and the second offense.

Green and Embiid are also the top defensive partner in the league. It has to be said that Green is really a very wise defender. He can build a top defensive team with a wing defensive core like Leonard, and also Can cooperate with Embiid to create an indestructible defensive system.

The Nets were attacking, and the movement of the ball was also not very smooth. Joe Johnson's last shot was blocked by Durant, which was a 24-second violation.

Although he has never entered the best defensive team in his career, Durant's physical condition is destined to be very effective when he is fully committed to the defensive end.

The game continued, and the Clippers gradually established an advantage on the court. The offensive and defensive system driven by two core players with excellent offense and defense gradually made the operation of the Nets deviate. Without Curry, the Nets are always missing a big piece on the offensive end, and the impact is still very large. Even if Joe Johnson is put on the starting lineup, and the team sacrifices defense to a certain extent to improve the deterrence on the offensive end, there is still no way to fill this vacancy.

After all, he is the mvp of the past three years, the number one player in the league. What he brought to the Nets, and what he brought to the Nets players is not that little bit, let alone something that others can easily replace.

On the sidelines, neither Jiang Mingliang nor Curry looked as good-looking as they were in the first quarter. Although I have been prepared for this headwind situation, I will also analyze in my heart where the team has an advantage, and constantly give psychological hints that the team is very strong.

Compared with the finals, it can also be seen that the team's restrictions on Embiid are slightly better. Part of the reason for this comes from the changes in the Clippers' lineup. After all, Chasing Dream Green is still somewhat lacking in autonomous offensive ability compared to Tobys Harris, which also reduces the difficulty of the Nets' flanking against Embiid. From a perspective, the Clippers traded to pursue Dream Green, which may not be beneficial and harmless, at least in some aspects it has declined.

Fortunately, today Fernandez stood at the position of the third offensive point. In the first half of the game, he scored 11 points and helped the Clippers end the first half with a 9-point lead at 62:53.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Durant started to play, hitting two three-pointers in succession, helping the Clippers to further open up the outside attack, and Dragic and Fernandez also scored mid-to-long-range shots. The suppression of firepower on the outside of the team allowed Embiid to gradually open up the situation inside. The Nets also relied on the scoring of Leonard and Porzingis to maintain their firepower. Porzingis was recovered today. A lot of confidence against Embiid. When George was suppressed by Durant, he became the team's second scoring point and gave Leonard considerable help in the middle distance. It is very important to the team, and it is even more important to Porzingis.

If the two teams can successfully meet in the finals, Porzingis can't be beaten by Embiid like last season's finals, which is very, very critical. If Nurkic was able to help Porzingis at least share some of the tasks against Embiid last season, then this season has reached a critical battle. In fact, the team can really rely on the center position. Just him.

To some extent, the importance of Porzingis in the team can even be ranked second. After all, in terms of position and style of play, the relationship between George and Leonard seems to be appropriate. replace each other. As for Porzingis, he was really expected to be placed at the core of the Nets' inside line.

The starting lineup did not beat the Clippers, and the Nets' bench players were more competitive. Both Van Fleet and Joe Johnson performed wonderfully in this game, and Monroe also played at the end of the third quarter. In the few minutes of playing time at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he did his job well, helped the team survive the most difficult stage, and maintained the suspense of the game. In the last two minutes of the final quarter, the Nets trailed 112 to 114 , both sides still have the possibility of winning.

The ball was in the hands of the Clippers, and Rivers requested a timeout.

At the decisive moment, the Clippers had Durant as a big killer. Stevens decided to adjust the lineup and made a surprise attack at the last moment. Van Fleet, George, Leonard, Joe Johnson, and Porzingis appeared on the stage, and Teodosic was put on the bench.

"Draw away when the position is offensive, and Chris pulls out to do a pick-and-roll. If you switch defenses, you must look for opportunities to play inside. If you attract double-teams, pass the ball in time. Baseline players pay attention to cutting to the basket. The defensive end is man-to-man, so you must switch defenses. Timely, don’t give anyone an easy chance to make a mobile phone call, and make sure there is interference in front of you. Take the rebound and counterattack quickly, and bring the rhythm to me!”

Compared with the Nets, the Clippers are more dependent on this main lineup, and more on the advantages brought to the team by the superstar quality of Durant and Embiid. After all, the two have played for such a long time. Stevens doesn't believe that there is no physical problem!

The game started. Durant caught the ball and observed the situation in the middle, waiting for his teammates to pull away.

For the Nets, Leonard is responsible for leading the defense against Durant.

Durant dribbled the ball to the left, Embiid pulled out from the low post, ran to the free throw line to attract the defense, Durant brought it to 45 degrees, leaned on Leonard with his back, trying to attract the baseline Joe Johnson to wrap Clipping, Dreaming Green can easily score as long as he cuts and catches the ball.

The lesser of two evils, Joe Johnson did not choose to double-team, Durant turned to the bottom corner and fell back for a jumper. His height and wingspan destined Leonard to try his best to close his eyes. If he couldn't cover them, the ball went in! 112:116!

Looking back, Dragic guarded Fleet, kept his distance, and focused.

Porzingis pulled to the three-point line and played a pick-and-roll with Van Vleet. Van Vleet broke through from the right, Embiid switched defenses, Van Vleet broke through to the bottom line and looked back at the moon. Green's supplementary defense scored the ball and caused Green to foul!

Beautiful offense, Jiang Mingliang also raised his arms and shouted on the sidelines, this one is so critical to hit a three-pointer!
