Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

In 2009, the league amended a rule regarding walking violations:

Taking one step is not counting as walking, but taking two steps is counting as walking.

The purpose is to protect strikers like Pickle, Kaka, Butler and Antetokounmpo who are good at breakthroughs.

If you can only take one step, you can easily be stopped and cause injuries.

If you can take two steps, you can take one more step to complete the layup without the defender being unprepared.

Greatly reduces the chance of injury.

In order to protect the health of Pickle, Kaka, Butler, Antetokounmpo and others, the league revised the rules of the game twice.

It has to be said that the level of humanistic care in this wave is directly full, and there is nothing to say about the pattern!

The league may have realized that those practices in the past were wrong.

For example, in order to limit sharks, the use of "shark hacking" tactics is allowed.

This greatly increases the probability of injury for inside players.

It not only limits their scoring ability, but also makes them more likely to be injured.

And in the matter of protecting Paojiao, Xiaoka, Butler and Antetokounmpo, the league really spared no effort.

As the future face of the league, we must protect the bodies of Pickle, Kaka, Butler and Antetokounmpo.

Listen to the league and don't let them get hurt.

(Don't say they didn't join the league in 09, they understand everything)

Back to the game.

Livingston stood in front of the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and easily scored the ball.

Marion on the Mavericks' side singled Ginobili once and hit a small throw on the board.

It's the Clippers' turn to attack again, and they still play Livingston.

This time Kidd took the initiative to change defenders with Barea, and he came to defend Livingston.

Livingston didn't panic and hit Kidd on the back again.

After a brilliant side-to-side shoulder swing, Livingston jumped again for a half-shot.

Still hit!

"Good job! Sean!" Yang Li clapped and shouted.

Then he took a proud look at Mavericks coach Carlisle.

Your Mavericks are all small guards. I let Livingston, a big guard with a height of 2 meters, play post-up singles. Do you have a temper?

Carlisle had no choice but to call a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Nowitz of the Mavericks made a mid-range shot.

When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, the tactics were still the same.

Only this time, the Mavericks let other players on the outside to help Kidd defend.

This can indeed limit Livingston's singles.

However, they seem to have overlooked one point.

Livingston's draft template is "Magic" Johnson!

In addition to his skilled post-up singles ability, he also has a very strong assist ability.

The moment Barea came over, Livingston immediately passed the ball to Curry outside the three-point line.

"Carlisle, what are you thinking?" Yang Li was speechless.

"The player you let go is Stephen Curry!"

Curry received the ball, raised his hand and dropped it directly, scoring 3 points.

On the next Clippers possession, the Mavs traded for Marion to double-team.

As a result, Livingston slid the ball straight from an extremely exaggerated position to Ginobili, who was still a person away from him.

Ginobili, who got the ball, faked a shot against Chandler who was defending.

After shaking his center, he dribbled straight to the Mavericks' basket.

Chandler didn't even have time to turn around, and Ginobili passed him cleanly.

Facing the unguarded basket, Ginobili flew a dunk directly.

Looking back, Nowitzki returned another three-pointer and chased the score a little bit.

It was the Clippers' turn to attack again, and this time the defender of Livingston was actually replaced by Marion.

Facing Marion, Livingston still had the same recipe and the same taste.

Continue to post singles.

Livingston made two pushes in a row, and then turned around and passed Marion at the moment before Marion exerted his strength.

In just one step, he came to the basket.

Livingston grabbed the ball with both hands, jumped high and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

Post-up singles, yyds!

Now the Clippers' offensive tactics are arranged around Livingston's somewhat incomprehensible post-up skills.

Times are changing and player skills are improving too.

However, basketball skills can only be truly unsolvable after continuous polishing and improvement, and practice makes perfect.

Relying on the statistics and honors obtained by the league and referees, no one will convince you from the bottom of their hearts.

In this game, because the Clippers caught the Mavericks by surprise, they easily won the game.

The Clippers won the battle of Tianwangshan and won the match point of this round of the series.

Nowitzki's performance today is still very good, but ultimately failed to take away the victory from the Staples Center.

The main reason is that the Mavericks' guard line was really blown up today.

A substitute player who suffered a serious injury and almost had no ball to play, actually performed so well in the conference finals?

Livingston made 12 of 9 shots today, and two of them were 2+1.

In the end, he scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

Under Livingston's strong restraint, Dayao played particularly well today.

他全场22投15中，其中三分球3投3中，最终砍下了整整36分！

Before the draft, Dayao said that he would definitely be able to play in the NBA.

The reason is simple. Chandler, who was beaten by Yao in the training camp, was selected with the second overall pick in 2001.

Then with Dayao's absolute strength, it wouldn't be too much to take the number one pick casually, right?

Dayao's personal score in this game also tied Nowitzki's highest personal single-game score in this round of the series scored in G3.

Curry and Ginobili are still stable, but the ball is given to Livingston.

So Curry only scored 18 points and Ginobili scored 16 points.

The figures have dropped slightly, but the performance is still very good.

On May 5, the Clippers once again visited the American Airlines Center for the sixth matchup between the two teams.

Yang Li gave the players a death order today, and must go all out to win the game.

There is no use of unscrupulous means here, because Yang Li disdains those dirty means the most.

Only a clean championship will make people truly convincing.

Today's game had to be won, Yang Li didn't want to delay until the seventh game.

Yang Li knew very well that compared with the old guys on the Mavericks, these players were still too young.

If it is really going to be the tiebreaker, it is very likely that the mentality will change.

At that time, if there is a small problem, it is very likely that the team will be defeated.

After a long training session, all the players from both sides came to the field.

The game has officially started!
