Chapter 141 Rethinking the Jordan Law
Billups still relied on his strong body to directly hit Lin Fei to the inside! This method has been proven to be successful in hitting Lin Fei.
This time, Lin Fei simply let go and let Billups go in! Billups didn't expect that Lin Fei would not defend. Since such a situation was true, Billups naturally did not hesitate and directly rushed to the basket in one breath!
However, when Billups just arrived at the basket, he knew he was fooled. This was just a pile of people! Not to mention shooting, it was difficult for him to pass the ball out!
At this moment, Aix aimed at the time and slapped the ball in Billups' hand hard. The ball fell directly to the ground. The Warriors Clauderson, a big man, rushed on, as if he saw gold on the ground! Of course, Billups also threw him on the ground at this time, Clauderson knew that he knew that Billups were also rushing towards the basketball, so he just touched the ball and pushed it directly to Aix's feet.
Aix received the ball! At this time, the Clippers knew that the situation was not good, because the Warriors' steal basically meant a successful fast break!
Sure enough, Aix directly gave the ball to Curry, and Lin Fei had already run to the frontcourt, and Curry made a long pass directly to Curry!
Sometimes when shooting, you need to strike while the iron is hot! Didn’t Lin Fei feel quite good during this period? Giving the ball to Lin Fei at this time is definitely the best choice.
Lin Fei received the ball near the three-point line. At this time, he had two choices, one was like the one who rushed in directly, and the other was to shoot a three-pointer here directly!
Just now, Lin Fei had a little anger in his mind, so he chose the former. At this time, the Warriors need the most may still score! Lin Fei hit a lot! He was so scared that he was a little scared and took a three-pointer!
Hit again! Scored 11 points in a row!
The Clippers hurriedly paused! Lin Fei's momentum seemed out of control! Although Paul and Billups performed well, they could not compete with Lin Fei at all! Lin Fei still looked the absolute ruler on the court!
After all, the Clippers still lack the experience of playing against the Warriors! Or rather, their playoff experience is relatively lacking compared to those of the Spurs! At this time, they can't find their own direction when facing the Warriors, how should they play in this game!
Paul, who came back from the timeout, came on the court, and at the same time, Billups actually used the double point guard to try to compete with the Warriors' double point guard tactics! As of now, many teams in the league have used the double point guard tactics to fight the Warriors, but none of them succeeded in the end!
Paul seemed to be still scared of the Warriors stealing. When he arrived at the frontcourt, he passed the ball directly to Billups! Billups got the ball and broke through one step. He just pushed Lin Fei away and passed the ball back to Paul. Paul did not hesitate at all, and then entered the inside line directly. The Warriors' defense was originally paying attention to Billups, but he obviously hadn't reacted to Paul's breakthrough yet! Paul naturally made an easy throw shot!
The Clippers' offense has never been too weak! It's just that they met the Warriors with stronger offensive firepower! This may be very good!
At this time, Lin Fei's momentum has not yet disappeared! After all, in this shock wave, he only scored 11 points! This will definitely not satisfy Lin Fei's strong appetite!
Curry went directly to the midfield and handed the ball to Lin Fei. Lin Fei felt that his hand seemed to be very smooth. When he received the ball, he opened his hand and then opened another three-pointer against Paul! This time, Lin Fei relied on his unparalleled shooting speed. He didn't even try to widen the distance from Paul, so he took action directly! This approach is indeed quite bold, because as long as Paul jumps a little higher, he may be able to easily knock Lin Fei's shot off!
However, even if Paul can reach that level, he will definitely not be able to reach that speed!
Lin Fei's three-pointer shot was still like a precision missile, and it exploded the basket directly!
The Clippers are completely helpless!
After Lin Fei's attack, the Warriors directly maintained a 10-point lead! In this shock wave, Lin Fei scored 22 points! His invincible side can be said to be fully demonstrated.
At this time, D'Antoni had peace of mind to replace Lin Fei! After all, this piece of good iron must be used on the blade, so don't waste any slightest bit!
The advantage of 10 points, even if the Spurs are replaced, it is not very likely that the opponent will be able to win the game in the league statistics, when the Warriors are leading by 10 points when they have Lin Fei, the probability that the opponent will win the game is zero!
However, the Clippers will never give up easily! After all, their luxurious lineup is definitely not good-looking!
Vinny Del Nigro sent the most attacking lineup, intending to make a crazy attack while Lin Fei is not on the court! It is also easy to get back a little bit of the gap!
The Warriors have experienced many discomforts at the beginning, and at this time the morale has been raised to a high point step by step. And together with morale, everything has become smooth! It may be smooth. For a team like the Warriors, it may not matter what the lineup is, because no matter whether it is the lineup or the substitute, the Warriors are "crazy", and no one in the league can stop it!
The result of the game was as expected by many people! The Warriors won the first goal and grabbed the home advantage! The score between the two teams was 158:150. After that wave of attack, Lin Fei did not play again! The whole game relied on several waves of attacks and scored 40 points! However, the shooting reached an absolutely incredible more than 80%! This also included his three-pointer!
However, the Warriors' goal is not as simple as home court advantage! They may have gone for two words for teams like the Clippers - sweep! After all, they all won four consecutive games with 0:3, achieving an alternative sweep against the Spurs, which has the best record in the league. Naturally, they would not "mind" the Clippers' seldom play!
"Obviously, there is something wrong with our defense! I can't defend Lin Fei. Maybe I can explain this, but we can't defend anyone of the Warriors! None of them can easily score in front of us!" Clippers head coach Vinny Del Nigro said this at the post-match press conference!
"For this game, the city of Los Angeles cannot accept it!" News commented on the Clippers' game!
As brother teams in the same city, the Los Angeles Lakers also reached the Western Conference semi-finals! They were about to confront the Thunder! When they knew the situation of the Clippers' game, all the players almost had a common statement, "Maybe we are the only team that can beat the Warriors!" This may be the words the Clippers most reluctant to hear. Over the past few decades, the Clippers have basically played a role in studying with the Prince. This is basically because of the Lakers' outstanding record history, and the Clippers seem to be nothing! But later, they won Griffin in the draft! This player, known as the "White Warcraft", used his super explosive power and explosive dunks, which gave the Clippers the hope of turning the game back. They also hoped to be able to successfully counterattack one day and become the "Prince" of the city of Los Angeles.
But now, it seems that the Clippers are still going to have a long way to go!
The Clippers players obviously couldn't accept this loss! They really couldn't accept it, and they couldn't beat a Warriors team without Lin Fei! They didn't mind. After Lin Fei came on the court, they widened the gap between the two teams to 10 points. What they mind was that after Lin Fei got out of the court, they still couldn't narrow the score!
At this time, Billups, who was the big brother, found head coach Vinny Del Nigro. He wanted to advise.
"We have a good offense, maybe the problem is still on our defense! I think we can learn from the Pistons' defense back then," said Billups. This guy has been in many teams, but relatively speaking, the best team he has stayed in is the Pistons' team back then. The Pistons won the championship back then rely on defense!
"What are you talking about is the Piston Five Tigers? Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Rashid Wallace and Prince?"
"No! I'm talking about the pistons at the peak, that is, the pistons led by Thomas! The pistons in 2004 may not be replicated!" Billups answered in this way!
"What does ya mean?"
"We may be able to enable Jordan's law again, and we need to defend Lin Fei in that way!"
"This is not something that has been used by the team. Lin Fei is very fast, and it is difficult for his opponent to foul, let alone want to have physical contact with him!"
"But he is also very weak! Even if any player touches him, he will fall! Perhaps the most important thing we need to do is to limit him to the floor!"
"On the floor! However, we may need a fierce collision, and a person may be able to be thrown away by him from afar! But if there is a group of people, no matter where he goes, someone will be able to collide! We want to make him lie on the floor and unable to get up!"
"Oh my god! You are definitely talking in your sleep. At that time, the bad boys may be even more difficult for us to replicate. We cannot achieve the fusion of extraordinary ability and bluff like them. They can show off their flashy skills at this minute, and the next minute they will give You a fatal blow. Obviously we can't reach that level!
"Yes! I have had contact with several players at that time. They are definitely a group of players who love the game and understand the team spirit. I know this very well, but I hope I understand that now, our team has done this! Yes, they have Thomas, but we also have Paul, they have center Bill Lan Bill together, and we have Griffin! Ran Bill can jump shots and break through is also good, but our Griffin also has strong inside attack power and shooting ability
Strength! Yes! The Pistons were also young John Shaley and Dennis Rodman, as well as James Edwards. However, we also have players like Jordan, Crawford, and me! Yes, Dumas and Rodman were both selected for the league's best defensive team, and our team, Paul and Griffin were both included in the best team! Their defense was better than us, but our offense was better than them. They could kill Jordan, and maybe we could kill Lin Fei now!"
"My idea is too wonderful, but it's unrealistic! The rules of basketball have changed a lot today. It's impossible to be the same as that time! Besides, the biggest difference is that Lin Fei is not Jordan, and we don't have the players of the Pistons at that time!"
"But we might be able to do better! I think it may be necessary to think about it with my coaching team!" Billups said this, speaking neatly, and even had a little coaching style! It seems that if he officially retired, he could still be a coach!
Vinny Del Nigro thought about it carefully. What Billups said was indeed very reasonable. What he said was not impossible. Everyone has weaknesses. Lin Fei’s weakness is that his physical fitness is very weak and his physical ability to fight is almost negligible! If this is used well, he can definitely defeat the Warriors! But the question now is, how can he implement the Jordan law!
Nowadays, there is another saying, that is, the essence of the "Jordan Law" is actually the joint defense tactics. In order to better defend Jordan, we repeatedly study Jordan's playing habits, summarize his usual actions in different positions on the court, and calculate the probability of his use of different play styles. Thus, we use various methods to make Jordan unable to play comfortably. No matter where Jordan holds the ball, the defensive players must double-team, forcing Jordan, who has a huge lethality, to give up his personal offense. If Jordan gets out of defense and rushes to the basket, then you must make Jordan pay some price. If Jordan holds the ball at the top of the arc, try to force him to move to the left and double-team. If Jordan holds the ball at the left, the defensive players at the top of the arc should be as soon as possible.
To assist in defense. If Jordan holds the ball on the right, it will gradually form a siege against Jordan. They do everything possible to push Jordan into a dead corner before entering the range. Specifically, Pistons defender Joe Dumas tries his best to guard Jordan, and another defender Isia Thomas interferes with Jordan's rhythm at any time, while inside Ranbill and Rodman are ready to make up for defense and double-team at any time. Even Daly, the maker of Jordan's rule, also told the players that no matter when Jordan passes by, he must push him. If Jordan wants to cut in through a pick-and-roll, then hold him. Daly later said that he did not instigate the players to use dirty means, but just hopes to use physical contact to try to make Jordan consume his physical strength as quickly as possible.
Are these methods really useful for the Clippers now? As a head coach, it is impossible for him to have studied Jordan's rules! Vinny Del Nigro must have had his own understanding based on his predecessors. Nowadays, even if the Pistons want to adopt Jordan's rules, they may have to solve two problems. One may be Lin Fei's speed, and the other is Lin Fei's shooting range is too long! Even Jordan cannot compare with Lin Fei's two points!
Vinny Del Nigro collected a large number of videos of the Pistons and Bulls’ matches back then! You know, there are really many such games! The two teams are not counted in the regular season for the time being, and they directly fought 4 times in the playoffs alone! It’s enough for Vinny Del Nigro to refer to!
Vinny Del Nigro studied for almost all night! He had a little bit of a look! After all, Vinny Del Nigro is far from being a great coach! He still needs to learn a lot. He may not have enough ability to control the Clippers, but perhaps few people are more diligent than him!
At this time, Lin Fei may not have realized that the Clippers are studying Jordan's law! If the Clippers can really improve this Jordan's law and apply it to defend Lin Fei, the consequences are hard to imagine! Because Jordan's law not only has restrictions on Lin Fei's playing ball, but may be very harmful to Lin Fei's body! Especially Lin Fei's ankles are definitely a big hidden danger now. He doesn't have much confidence in his ankles. Although Li Tuo has said that at least there is no problem with being able to hold on for a while, Lin Fei's heart is always hanging! At least there is a shadow!
The next day, Vinny Del Nigro directly discussed with the Clippers players how to defend Lin Fei! When he said the four words of Jordan's law, almost all the Clippers' players seemed a little incredible! One reason is that they could not be like a Pistons like that. None of them could play like Thomas, Ranbir, Rodman, and Du Hong. Another reason may be that if Jordan's law is to be adopted, many of the Clippers' tactics may need to be re-practice. Is this useful for the game that is in front of you? You know, temporary change of formation is a taboo! However, Billups obviously would not be surprised! With his "insider" to be a coach in the Clippers today, perhaps many things will become quite easy!
After all, the Clippers are still an offensive team, and they can't use many defensive methods at all! However, for the sake of the game, they can only practice reluctantly!
The Clippers have changed their defense methods, and the Warriors have almost no news! As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing oneself, you will never win in a hundred battles! This may be very bad for the Warriors! But don’t forget one thing, that is, what kind of team the Warriors have always been. They never care about the opponent’s defense method. They always focus on their own offense!
Chapter completed!
