NBA: I can see real-time shooting percentage

Chapter 41 Pelican Explosion
The Pelicans made a hasty shot on the last attack. Time ran out before the shot was taken. The third quarter was over. The Clippers started the second half with a 20-point deficit. However, under the performance of Qin Ming and other players, the point difference was narrowed to single digits, and they were even close to tying the score.

This kind of energy and magic cannot be seen in ordinary players.

After the end of the third quarter, Rivers also stood up and continued to applaud and encourage his players, saying: "Good job, our defensive and offensive vitality are very good, what we have to do now is to maintain this state until the end of the game. Today's victory belongs to us."

Qin Ming sat on the bench, panting continuously.

He is too tired.

Although the first half didn't last long, the third quarter of the second half didn't rest for a minute, and every offense and defense was targeted by the Pelicans, so it wasn't enough to find a chance to breathe.

Fortunately, his physical fitness is good, so he didn't lose the chain.

"Qin Ming, you rest until 7 minutes in the fourth quarter, and then I will let the five of you play together. Then it will be the decisive moment. I hope we can win the away game today."

After saying this, Rivers began to take out the tactical board, and discussed with the players the opponent's defensive strategy and how to break the defense on his own side.

Because depending on the situation, the Pelicans really want to win tonight's game. This is a great encouragement to the Pelicans, who are all young players at the beginning of the season. As long as they win, they can inspire the fighting spirit of young players.

They don't want a championship, as long as these newcomers play their own style, then they will not be far away from the championship.

Qin Ming sat in a chair, listening to Rivers' research on the Pelicans' defense.

"They have many changes, but their defense relies too much on our slow ball. As long as we play the ball faster, like Qin Ming's ball, when the opponent comes up to double-team, we pass the ball early, and the opponent will switch to the defense. At this time, I hope you grasp the opportunity of misplacement. Also, we must prevent the opponent's full-court pressing strategy in advance. When they make long-range shots, we must serve the ball quickly and not let them interfere with our attack time."

"And then, it's a three-point play that I want you guys to play in the second half."

Because the Clippers won the jump ball in the first quarter, they started the fourth quarter.

There is no big problem with Rivers' three-point tactic. The core point is Paul George. He needs to go from the bottom line to a 45-degree angle, and then bypass two pick-and-rolls at an inclined angle, and then get an open three-pointer.

When Paul George is running, one of the last two pick-and-rolls will bounce out and the other will cut empty to attract the attention of the opponent's defender.

The ball holder needs to concentrate on seeing all the changes on the field to judge who should pass the ball to.

In fact, Rivers hopes to be Qin Ming in this role. He is the best dealer of the Clippers, but he cannot be fucked hard, otherwise his physical fitness will fall behind, and the Clippers will not be able to promote the transition of offense and defense.

So this role was given to Lu Wei.

In fact, if Beverly is not injured, he can also play this role.

"At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers played Lu Wei, Paul George, Patterson, Zubac, and Shamet. Their lineup and bench depth are the best in the league. Because they have Lu Wei and Harrell, the rest of the bench players have also greatly improved the lineup. Patterson is also a space-based power forward."

"Yes, Rivers finally took Qin Ming down to rest. He should appear in the final match."

"I guess, at the end of the day, Rivers will still use the five minors. The Pelicans can't play with this lineup at all."

Rivers' three-point tactic was considered a success.

When Paul George went through the pick-and-roll, both people's attention was on him. Patterson got an open three-pointer from the outside, and he also grasped it. He scored a three-pointer and tied the score.

The Pelicans are still attacking the fiery Ingram. Holiday played a key role in it. His pick-and-roll led to the defense of the two. This ball is also because Lu Wei and Paul George did not communicate well.

With Ingram's two-pointer, the Pelicans continued to lead.

After that, the Pelicans had a bad touch in the third quarter and completely exploded in the fourth quarter.

No matter how Ingram shoots, the Pelicans players who don't take the ball very much don't affect any feel at all. They shoot decisively when they get the ball.

The Clippers were not far behind. After Paul George hit a three-pointer in the third quarter, his touch also ushered in a recovery. In the fourth quarter, he made two of four three-pointers and made two super-difficult layups of two plus one.

And the Clippers' response wasn't just him.

Lu Wei's touch is also very exaggerated, and he still scored 24 points efficiently and unsolvable. He made 10 of 6 three-pointers in this game, and he feels very good.

The two sides kept biting, but with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Pelicans once again played a wave of climax.

During this period, each side called a timeout.

After the Pelicans came back from a timeout, Ingram made a three-pointer, and then Paul George made an air cut error to Harrell. The basketball was intercepted by Holiday, and JJ Redick converted a fast break and made a three-pointer.

After the ball, Rivers didn't use it because he only had two timeouts.

And Paul George finally scored a difficult layup, Ingram came back again, made a three-pointer against Paul George, and scored his 45th point in the personal game, which was also a career high.

This completely unreasonable offense made Paul George very helpless.

After this three-pointer, the Clippers were 11 points behind, and the game still had the last 7 minutes.

The Clippers called a timeout.

"After the fourth quarter, we can see that the Clippers have indeed made a lot of adjustments when dealing with the Pelicans' defense. Faced with the expanded 2-3 defense, they played the ball much faster and scored a lot of goals. Only then did the Pelicans return to their normal defensive rhythm. But although the Pelicans failed in defense, they were completely unambiguous in terms of offense. Today, the entire game made 50 of 20 three-pointers. I feel that the coach of the Pelicans is not Gentry, but D'Antoni."

"Today, the Pelicans feel great. They can shoot as much as they want, and they played very well in transitional offense. The positional battle is very simple, that is, let Ingram play alone, and one person takes turns to play the Clippers. If Leonard is there, he can limit him, but Leonard is not here, it is his home court."
