Chapter 482 Smart Blessing (Part [-])
Curry rested, and Tyronn Lue's first choice was of course to let the experienced Fisher come off the bench.

Fisher came on, and Harden immediately replaced Jimmy Butler, partnering with Fisher in the backcourt.

Functionally, Fisher is not a good backup for Curry.

He has almost no ability to organize the ball, and he is an out-and-out functional point guard.

Once he replaces Curry, the entire Clippers' tactical strategy needs to change.

Fortunately, the Clippers have never lacked tactical starting points, Harden, Randolph, Gasol Jr., which gave Fisher a lot of room to play.

His precise fixed-point three-pointers have a great effect on opening up the team's space.

The three-pointer at the critical moment is even more terrible, the super key player among the role players.

Min Congda was so angry that he almost fired him when he killed Thunder before.

Sure enough, the enemy of life is the enemy of life, even if they switch to their own team, they still cheat themselves.

Just like when some people play games, if a certain hero is chosen by the opponent, they will be super gods, and if their own people take it, they will be super ghosts.

Fisher is such an existence.

But tonight, Fisher doesn't have much room to play.

Because Harden continued to be restricted after the start of the second quarter.

The current Cavaliers have changed their previous weak defense in the backcourt.

After having James, Battier, Danny Green and others, their backcourt defense is tall, strong and experienced.

Mike Brown saw the importance of Harden to the Clippers' offense, and sent Battier to defend Harden in the second quarter.

Harden was taken care of by Danny Green in the first quarter. He didn't play smoothly and didn't feel like playing.

In the second quarter, they met Shane Battier, a defensive veteran.

Battier's defensive style tends to be academic, relying on positioning and prediction.

But Harden is good at feints and early predictions when attacking, and Battier just happened to be his professional counterpart.

The second quarter started the first attack, Harden tried to take Battier one-on-one, but in Battier's perfect defensive position, he had to pass a low-quality ball.

It was Milicic who got the ball in the end...

Milicic made a helpless turn around and shot, but the ball missed.

The Cavaliers took the rebound and launched a counterattack unhurriedly.

At this time, James is still resting off the court, and Irving leads the second team on the court.

This is a great advantage of having a double-star team. There is a core offensive point on the field at any time, which can ensure that the team's offense will continue.

Before James led the team alone, once James was off the court, the Cavaliers' offense would more or less fall into a leaderless state.

Even if Mo Williams has played at an All-Star level, it's just the regular season, and the playoffs are simply not enough.

The Cavaliers had to increase James' playing time, resulting in a lack of change and rhythm in the team's rotation, which was easy to be targeted by opponents.

Now with Irving, even if Irving is only a 19-year-old rookie, his offensive creativity and hard-solution ability are not comparable to Mo Williams.

Owen received a pass from his teammate, and accelerated in the middle to pass Fisher!
Going to the basket, facing the ferocious Milicic, Irving made a flash in the air, changed hands, and made a layup!
Hit the Clippers a foothold, caught off guard.

Regardless of the difficulty and skill of Irving's layup, as far as his calmness and courage when facing Milicic, ordinary players cannot compare.

After Milicic came to the Clippers for more than a season, he has become one of the league's famous court villains.

The interior defensive action is fierce, and the number of technical fouls last season created his own career record.

At the beginning of this season, there have been more than a dozen games played, and he has been expelled twice, and there was a fight.

This former Serbian genius has transformed into a boxer in the arena, a villain who protects the Clippers in the three-second zone.

Of course Owen knew the prestige of this villain when he was preparing for the game, but he was not afraid at all, he just dared to go up.

And Milicic is not a brainless thug who hits anyone he sees. In fact, his defensive reaction is quite fast.

This summer, he further reduced his weight, made himself more flexible inside, and evolved towards a better basket-protecting defensive inside.

Therefore, not everyone can easily break through and score points in front of Milicic.

Irving has this ability. The key point is that Fisher's defense against Irving is really no different from a wooden stake.

Looking back, Fisher tried to return one, but he missed a three-point shot in the middle of the three-pointer.

Milicic grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to Harden who rushed into the basket. Harden caught the ball for a layup, but was interfered by Battier's defense and missed!
"The defense of this ball is really beautiful. Battier's defensive level is really well-deserved, and one of the highlights is in place!"

Min Congda took a sip of wine, watched Fisher miss a shot and Harden was interfered with a layup, and was very satisfied with his team building ideas.

He has a relatively thorough view of the Cavaliers and James.

What James lacks are teammates like Irving, Battier, Camby, and Lopez.

As a player with strong physical fitness, comprehensive functions but not perfect technology, James has relatively high requirements for his teammates.

In this regard, James is a bit like O'Neal.

O'Neill is equally powerful and capable.

But if you don't match him with suitable teammates to make up for his major shortcomings in some aspects, the team's strength will not improve.

Relatively speaking, Duncan has a lot of versatility. Basically, any team in the league, without changing the staffing, Duncan's airborne can greatly improve the team's strength.

As for O'Neal's airborne, if there is no targeted configuration, the improvement of the team's strength may not necessarily be obvious.

James is the same as O'Neal, and Duncan is the same as Kevin Durant.

Of course, O'Neal and James, with a good configuration, will have a higher upper limit, and can maximize their rare superhuman talents in history.

Before the Cavaliers management had neither strength nor vision.

James himself doesn't know himself well enough.

He thought he was Jordan, and with a support team and a bunch of good role players and veterans, he could carry the entire league.

In fact, he is not at Jordan's level. He needs a good system and platform to help him play to his strengths.

Min Congda could be said to be feeding food, secretly helping the knight to set up the shelf.

Now the strength of the Cavaliers is really very strong.

Camby once again accepted the backcourt rebound, and Irving launched a counterattack.

Irving's speed is really fast. After halftime, the Clippers Milicic delayed and defended him and did not give him a start.

Irving slowed down, and Milicic immediately returned to the basket to defend, but Irving accelerated again and passed Fisher in one step!
Challenge Milicic again!

Irving made a layup!

Milicic takes off to block.

As a result, Owen didn't jump at all, but a fake move.

After shaking Milicic up, he turned gracefully and made a fallback jumper!
The ball was hit steadily and scored another 2 points!
Irving scored consecutively, further widening the difference between the two sides.

The Clippers are already 13 points behind, and the situation is extremely unfavorable for the Clippers.

Tyronn Lue knew that Fisher could no longer be left on the court.

Although Fisher has rich experience, his defense is really a colander.

Fisher was mainly responsible for being counterattacked twice, and Milicic has tried his best.

After all, there is no delay on the outside line, and the big center directly faces the firepower of the defender. Who can withstand this?

Tyronn Lue looked at the bench, Ricky Davis was not there, Dragic was not there, only Jeremy Lin was left.

But, can this Asian, a player who graduated from Harvard, really do it?
Tyronn Lue remembered that he was ordered to defend Iverson in the 2001 finals.

Wasn't he also a nobody at that time?

And judging from daily training, although Jeremy Lin is tall, his speed is not bad.

The defense can't be said to be strong, at least not like Fisher, who really can't react when he is old.

Even if there is a 0.5-second delay to Irving from the outside, Milicic will not be completely exposed to Irving's firepower.

At this time, the Clippers finally scored a point on the court, and Randolph made a mid-range jumper with a low turn.

But looking back, Irving passed Fisher one-on-one, broke into the basket and then gave the ball to Camby who was keeping up.

Camby dunks easily!

The Clippers' defense was penetrated by Irving.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout, then pointed to Jeremy Lin on the bench.

"Jamie, get ready and go on the field. Defense well later, you have seen the situation on the field, you know?"

Jeremy Lin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that he would actually get the chance to play.

He immediately took off his sports jacket and made a cross across his chest.

But I said in my heart: "God and Mr. Smart bless me, I will perform well."
