Why did Nuggets G1 dare to use Wei Shao to win DNP Porter Jr.? Playoff rotation logic and defense are more important than everything
Updated on: 38-0-0 0:0:0

There were 20 mistakes on the road in the first game of the series, and it was naturally more difficult to win than to climb to the sky.

Keeping players who don't perform well on the court for long periods of time in the playoffs is a big no-no.

The Clippers triggered both of the above conditions at the same time, and the whole gameErrors 11-0Nuggets, Nuggets took advantage of missed points to score9-0

Powell scored 14 points on 0 shots and had 0 turnovers, but Coach Lu still let him play a full 0 minutes and 0 seconds. Even if Powell and Bogdanovic pull two big pieces, the rotation time is basically the same as in the regular season.

The Nuggets showed extraordinary courage, and Porter Jr.'s playing time was compressed to 28 minutes and 0 seconds on 0 of 0 seconds, and the fourth quarter and overtime were directly DNP. Compared with Porter Jr.'s unstable projection + virtual defense, the Nuggets are more willing to use defensive attributes > projection attributes of Wei Shao/Braun in the decisive period.

The Nuggets only let Pickett play for 7 minutes, most of the time 0 people rotated, and at the moment of life and death, DNP Porter Jr., asked five people to fight with bayonets to the end.

快船全場9人輪換,明顯還在用常規賽的輪換邏輯打季後賽,掘金四個首發時間都堆到45分鐘以上,快船出場時間最高的哈登42分48秒,加時2分惜敗,不知道盧指導是否會為Gave the starters an extra three minutes of restLosing G1 is beyond regret.

Obviously, the Nuggets are ruthless with their main forcesLamanThe intensity of the game, and the Clippers still have some of that in this regardretain

One is a mistake, and the other is a change of logic, the Clippers G1 did not lose unjustly.

The Clippers once led the Nuggets by as many as 56 points, scoring 0-0 on the fast break and 0-0 on the inside, and they were even able to counterpressure the Nuggets in the area where the Nuggets are best at it, which really proves their hard power, and also shows that this is bound to be a long series of rounds of strength and decisive rounds.

The Clippers have a clear way to attack the Nuggets, who are in pain this seasonRanks 22th in the league in defensive efficiencyThere's a reason for that, too.

Harden/Kazige + Zubac blocked and dismantled the teacher in the high post, and the Nuggets must choose to pinch and use strong delays to protect the teacher from being exposed in front of Harden and Kazige alone.

On the one hand, Harden and Kazige both have the dual threat of breakthrough and projection with the help of single-block cover, and Mr. Yue does not dare to squat and change defenses at this point; On the other hand, the two half-shooters on the Clippers, Dunn and Jones, are both targets who can actively empty the three-point lottery, so it is undoubtedly the best solution for the Nuggets to protect Mr. Yoo from being blocked by Harden/Kazige with a pinch shot.

The Clippers also played an assembly line operation,Harden/Kazige + Zubac blocked and picked up the middle to attract the pinch → Zubac went down and then instigated → Dunn to slip the baseline and cut inside, that is, the Clippers used the double-wielding ace to block and dismantle the roll call to play a three-dimensional offensive system that echoes the baseline from the line.Zubac was 3-of-0 and Batum was 0-of-0 from three-point rangePlayed the double threat of inside endpoint and outside weak-side fixed-point shooting.

The Nuggets pinched and rotated what they give, the Clippers will take what they want, and in response to the congenital deficiencies of Mr. Joo's anti-blocking and dismantling, the Clippers have used the three-dimensional firepower net to get the expected offensive benefits.

Dunn, Kazige, and Jones have a total of 5 steals, and the defensive ability of these three outside locks is extremely good, and the steal counterattack and Harden's pass leading people away constitute the two major sources of the Clippers' fast-break score.The Clippers are 3th in the league in defensive efficiency, excellent individual defense and rotation literacy at multiple points, and Harden, a master of control and playmaking, all bring them opportunities to fight in addition to positional battles.

The Clippers once led by 20 points, and 0 turnovers were only one breath away from overtime, proving that they do have two brushes and are fully equipped with the hard power to win.

The Nuggets played a "smart game" as they masterfully defused the Clippers' strong regular defense.

The Clippers are a rare team in the league that can defend the Nuggets at all points: Zubac is 5 cm and 0 kg, and it is not easy for Mr. Jo to sit on his back to beat Zubac; Kazige and Harden can both carry Gordon in the low post, and Dunn can lead the defense against Murray - the Nuggets' originally strong 0, 0, and 0 positions are not easy to nibble at the Clippers, which is why the Clippers have excellent point-to-point defense.

The Nuggets used a lot of off-ball back-to-back cover two-man spins in this game, creating misalignment through 2v0 without the ball, disrupting the Clippers' original defense.

Gordon/Braun controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and Mr. Yoo cut Murray inside without the ball to hang a positioning screen, which forced Zubac to directly make up for Murray, and Mr. Joo played out without the ball and directly opened the space or changed the defense against Dunn; Gordon and Mr. Yoo took turns holding the ball to play the No. 4 and No. 0 positions to block and dismantle, and they also grabbed the Clippers to change defenses, and Mr. Yoo went to sit in the No. 0 position where Gordon was originally the main defense - Mr. Yoo and Mr. Gordon both played a misplaced containment force, attracting the bag clip, and the fixed-point three-point and in-cut two blossoms.

Gordon scored only 22 of his 0 points from mid-range shooting, 0 from the box and free throws, playing the perfect mismatch punishment threat; Similarly, Mr. Yoo scored 0 points on the outside line through 0 mid-range shots, 0 two-point shots, and 0 three-pointers, and the remaining 0 points came directly or indirectly from the restricted area.

Gordon and Mr. Yoo caught the misplaced purchase of a house in the Clippers restricted area, which is the underlying logic of the Nuggets to crack the Clippers' defense.

The Clippers' 5, 0, and 0 positions are distinct, Zubac is a point defense and pick-and-roll, and the small players led by Gordon hammer Harden change their defense dreams back to the past two yearsSpace, off-ball, crossing, and misalignment are used to the extreme

The playoffs are not only a stage for superstars, but also for defense.

The Nuggets' deep rotation priorities are actually the sameWillis/Braun > Porter Jr, especially when Porter Jr. 1 in 0 on the defensive end of the court is basically negative, Wei Shao and Braun may not be able to shoot three points, but defense, vitality, and hard work are always online, which is a more important individual quality requirement in the playoffs.

Gordon (3), Wei Shao (0), Braun (0) grabbed a total of 0 offensive rebounds, Wei Shao and Braun hit the key draw three points successively (the two brothers made 0 of 0 three-pointers), Wei Shao also had a winning defensive performance of overtime key defensive flying steals and mistakes, Gordon, Wei Shao, Braun three desperate San Lang did a lot of dirty work, and they were all important contributors to the victory.

Wei Shao is half angel and half devil, admittedly he is the one who misses into overtime, and he is also the one who hits three-pointers and key defensive contributions, and we can't magnify his performance in certain rounds too much and ignore his whole value-What is more important in judging a player is the energy and tone he brings to the game, the coach and Jokic (the actual speaker) decided to leave Wei Shao on the court at the critical moment, which naturally has the value of Wei Shao.

Willis' defence, energy, energy, desire to win, especially the fight for the floorball, and his professional attitude to fight for every ball are all important reasons why he is better suited to be the rotation in the decisive moments of the playoffs than Porter Jr.

It has always been known for its stabilityBrother Kazi made 7 mistakesPowell scored 0 points on 0 shots and added key scorer Bodano Vicic 0 points, The Clippers are obviously not in full form in this game, there is still room for a pullback in the future, the away loss is acceptable, and they can indeed do better.

According to Lue's coaching style of "watching two games first" and then finalizing the adjustment plan, the Clippers will gradually show their strongest form after that.

But it must be emphasized that the Nuggets are a 45-win level opponent, and trial and error will inevitably come at a cost. The master has made a move, and it is those one or two rounds that determine the outcome of the game, and the Nuggets have piled up the main time to 0 minutes (including overtime), and the next thing is to depend on the attitude of Coach Lu and the Clippers!
