Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The only people on the Clippers who can attack with the ball are Ye Feng and Isiah Thomas. Thomas still has big defensive problems and will not play for too long.  If the Clippers don't win this game, they will face a severe test in the end.

    Antoine Moore, a marginal player who has not been paid attention to, is likely to change the fate of the team because of this kick, taking Thornton off the court, and he did not even get a foul.  .

    James defended in the low post, resisted Gasol, and protected the basket very well.  In the second half of the second quarter, the Clippers relied more on perimeter offense, which was not very efficient.

    At the end of the first half, the Clippers trailed 51 to 52.  Thomas was on the field, and the defense did have quite a lot of holes, and he was regarded as a weak point in the attack. He was replaced by Hinrich in the last two minutes.

    Thornton has many offensive methods, but Hinrich can only shoot at fixed spots, and they are not accurate.  There is no way, the Clippers really have no one to replace.

    After the team doctor looked at Thornton¡¯s injury, he could initially conclude that it was not serious and he just sprained his ankle.  However, I have to rest for a week due to minor injuries, and I can no longer play in the finals.  How can the Clippers beat the Heat when it's difficult to defend Wade and James and lose important scorers?

    Only 5 minutes were played in the third quarter, and the Clippers were already showing signs of fatigue.  The Heat adopted a double-teaming tactic against Ye Feng and left Hinrich empty.  Hinrich made an open shot and hit the ball three times.

    In the commentary box, Barkley couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Hinrich's offensive efficiency is simply speechless. He has good shooting opportunities, but his shooting percentage is less than 40%. The Clippers can't do it after this season."  Don¡¯t keep him anymore.¡±

    Kenny Smith said: "I think Ye Feng should be allowed to play point guard at this time. Except for the Gasol brothers, Barnes, and Harrison, the Clippers have almost no one who can help Ye Feng. Thomas is a  A good attacker, but the Heat have already figured out a way to attack him. It's impossible to guard Bosh and Parsons when Thomas is out of position. If he comes on the court, it will be difficult to defend."

    Barkley shook his head and said: "The Clippers are so unlucky this season. First Roy retired, then Love was injured, and now Thornton is injured. If all three of them were here, the Heat would have no chance at all. In the games Roy played,  , although the shooting rate is not high, he is a good team player. He has a wide range of passing vision and can also attack with the ball. Now the Clippers lack such a person. Ye Feng playing point guard is not a good tactic, it will only maximize the  It consumes his physical strength to a certain extent. If he dribbles the ball across half court and launches an attack directly, the Clippers' overall cooperation will be gone, and it will become a one-man game. No matter how strong he is, he can't win one against five."

    After thinking about it.  Thibodeau made a substitution and let Ye Feng play the point guard, with two Barnes on the outside and two Gasol on the inside.  Use this to deal with the heat.  Ye Feng did not attack in the first half. Facing a double team, he dribbled the ball to the side and lobbed it to Gasol, allowing him to single out James.  Gasol has a height advantage and scored two goals in a row.  Showing good form, the Heat replaced Parsons and replaced Dalembert to strengthen defense.  James returns to the outside.

    The two sides reached a stalemate.  The Clippers were always about 5 points behind and could not catch up.  After Dalembert came on the court, Ye Feng began to break through the screen again. He scored 10 points in this quarter.

    In the last quarter, the Clippers were beaten 7-0 by the Heat at the beginning, and fell behind by 13 points without realizing it.  In order to strengthen the offense, Thibodeau once again sent Thomas to play pick-and-roll with Ye Feng on the outside to share Ye Feng's offensive pressure.  As long as Thomas can disrupt the Heat's inside line, the other team won't be able to double-team Ye Feng unscrupulously.

    The idea is good.  But this substitution became the turning point of the game.  In two and a half minutes, Gasol fouled the Clippers and made two free throws. Otherwise, they did not score.  The Heat had Wade and Ray Allen beat Thomas hard and hit consecutive shots, widening the point difference to 18 points.  The Clippers dug a big hole for themselves.

    The Heat suffered losses from Thomas in previous games.  Pay great attention to his defense.  Thomas is only a bottom pick, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will be in good shape every game. It is too difficult for him to compete with star-level players.  He didn't feel good today either, and he only scored 6 points so far.

    Thibodeau¡¯s face was ashen and he sat off the court, feeling helpless.  He recalled the situation in which no one was available when he led the team to face the Jazz in the second round in his first year as a head coach.  There was no point guard at that time. If he could be given a chance to come back, he would never let anyone serve as a point guard. At least three people would be required to ensure rotation.  He suffered a loss once, and now he falls in the same place again Although the triangle offensive guard does not need to take on too many tasks, he cannot do without it.

    Thornton is gone at the back, and there are no qualified substitutes for Barnes and Harrison.  Jeremy Lamb has only one spot and has barely played in the playoffs. His mental quality is too poor to be useful.  Coupled with Yi Jianlian, who rarely plays and plays poor defense, the Clippers now only have nine players in the rotation.

    In the fourth quarter, the Clippers players¡¯ shooting percentage was still not high, and everyone knew they couldn¡¯t catch up.Back, unless a miracle happens.

    When Thibodeau asked for a timeout, James, Bosh, and Wade smiled very happily. This kind of smile was very familiar to Ye Feng, and it was the expression of a sure victory.  This shot was captured by a photographer, and all fans who supported the Clippers felt uncomfortable after watching it.

    During the game, many people left messages online to criticize James and Wade. Moore did not mean to hurt anyone, and was also said to have done it intentionally.  In the eyes of fans, the value of winning for the Heat is getting lower and lower. They may not be able to win against the Mavericks, and they will not be able to win against the Clippers.

    The Clippers players didn¡¯t know that there was a commotion on the Internet, they only cared about how to retain the hope of winning.  Thibodeau's magic weapon is the triangle offense. The Gasol brothers attack in the low post, and Ye Feng, Harrison, and Barnes look for opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

    Thibodeau is thinking in reverse. The Heat are likely to double-team Ye Feng desperately after the timeout. The Gasol brothers in the low post will easily get single opportunities.  If they can ensure efficiency, score the ball, and attract double-teams from their opponents to help open up the perimeter, the Clippers still have hope.  The Heat would only be happy if they shot three-pointers directly from the outside.  It is difficult for the Clippers to guarantee a shooting percentage, but it is easy for the Heat to counterattack.

    If he loses with this arrangement, Thibodeau will be stigmatized. The fans will definitely want to give the ball to Ye Feng to attack.

    However, team basketball is the right way to win. Five players are like five fingers. Only when they are clenched into a fist can they be powerful.  If he encounters an opponent of equal strength and fights alone, unless Ye Feng's "finger" is relatively thick and has become a yang finger, it is impossible to fight with a fist

    The game ended with 5 minutes and 46 seconds left. The Clippers focused on the triangle offense, and the core of the offense became the Gasol brothers.  Gasol faced Parsons in the low post and easily scored two goals.

    Heat coach Spoelstra guessed the Clippers' purpose and quickly replaced Dalembert to strengthen the low defense.  Gasol has been confused in this finals, and he finally started to show his strength today.  If the tactical arrangement is reasonable, how could he be easily guarded by Dalembert when he was a player like Duncan and Garnett before.  Continued to play singles and started his own performance.

    Facing the defensive baseline, he turned around and shot a jumper, turned around in the middle and made a hook shot, scoring 8 points in a row.  Later, he assisted Ye Feng to hit a three-pointer from the outside. The Heat only scored one goal from James, narrowing the point difference to only 9 points.

    Spoelstra also requested a timeout to attack the Clippers.  James became the core of the offense, breaking through through the screen to hit Gasol's point, allowing Gasol to consume energy on the defensive end.  Wade was active on the baseline, relying on Dalembert's off-ball cover to make air cuts.  The two teamed up to score 6 points, and the score opened again.

    With only two minutes left, the Clippers can gamble on three points.  The offensive task also falls on Ye Feng's shoulders. I hope he can perform a miracle like Tracy McGrady's moment.

    However, Ye Feng felt average today and failed to make two consecutive three-pointers. Instead, the Heat counterattacked. Chalmers broke through and scored, widening the point difference to 15 points.

    Seeing that there was no hope of winning, the Clippers replaced all their main players and entered garbage time.  In the end, the Clippers were defeated at home 95-112.

    Ye Feng made 12 of 26 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.  Pau Gasol had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists; Marc Gasol had 12 points and 17 rebounds; Thornton played less than one quarter and scored 11 points.  No one else scored in double figures.

    Heat James had 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists; Wade had 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists; Bosh had 20 points and 9 rebounds; three people scored 20+ points.  In addition, Ray Allen and Parsons also scored in double figures.

    "Magic" Johnson lamented the twists and turns in the finals. The Clippers were very close to the championship, but now something happened.  The Clippers will not be easy to play in the next game. If Thornton cannot play, the Clippers will be very disadvantaged.

    Ye Feng felt very unhappy when he lost the game. He quickly returned to the locker room without being interviewed by reporters.  He scored more than 30 points in every game of this series. It was his best performance and the most beautiful performance in the finals, but it was also the most difficult finals.  Can Game 7 be won?  Without Thornton, the Clippers offense has fewer scoring points. Can the defense withstand it?

    At the press conference, Thibodeau mentioned Thornton's injury and said "it's a pity." Without his analysis, reporters also knew the reason for the Clippers' defeat today.  Thornton plays more than 30 minutes in every game. Without this important role player, the Clippers have fewer scoring points. The defense is not much different from the original, but the offense in the second half is very poor.

    Spoelstra said: "It is a pity not to compete with the strongest Clippers. We are also very lucky. This year is our best chance to win the championship. In this game, the players fought very hard and showed their best.  level, we will do our best in the next game.¡±

    If the Heat really play last season's Clippers, Spoelstra will definitely not feel regret, only sadness.  Decisive victoryThe negative contest will be staged on June 14th!
