NBA:圣安东尼奥马刺队对阵洛杉矶快船队

快船的篮板优势转化为更多的8次投篮机会。

马刺队被来势汹汹的快船队击败,快船更需要这场胜利来摆脱附加赛区的困境。伊维察·祖巴茨堪称鹤立鸡群,而马刺队的防守无法有效限制快船队丰富的进攻选择。

在第一节,马刺队还能咬住比分,期间出现了四次领先权易手,这在一定程度上归功于哈里森·巴恩斯的精准投篮、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔的篮筐冲击以及防守端迫使对手两次24秒违例。值得注意的是,马刺队是效率更高的球队,该节投篮命中率高达56%。

第二节开始时,马刺队落后两分,但随后凭借巴恩斯、朱利安·尚帕尼和凯尔登·约翰逊的远近结合的投篮,短暂取得了五分的领先优势。他们的问题在于糟糕的控球以及未能阻止快船队更强壮的球员五次突入限制区。

马刺队在半场结束前的最后两分钟内被打出一波10-2的攻势。此时,尽管马刺队的投篮命中率高达54.1%并加快了节奏,但他们仍然以54-52落后。他们在篮板球上也落后了六个,并且多出现了两次失误。随后,主教练米奇·约翰逊在第三节开始三分钟后叫了两次暂停,因为球队在暂停后表现得非常松懈。

尽管巴恩斯和卡斯尔表现出色,但由于防守端被对手八次篮下冲击和三次三分球所击溃,他们以落后13分结束了第三节。第四节的情况也大同小异,在糟糕的开局后,马刺队只能勉强将分差缩小到可追赶的范围,然后又放弃了。

要点总结:

  • 在上半场势均力敌之后,快船队在下半场对马刺队的每一次反击都有应对之策,并且最多时领先了17分。此外,根据Cleaning the Glass的数据显示,马刺队的半场阵地进攻每百回合能得到104.8分,足以排在联盟的第71个百分位。
  • 祖巴茨凭借八个进攻篮板、勾手、顺下和补篮,摧毁了他面前的一切。诺曼·鲍威尔通过接球就走和快速下坡的进攻方式得分。马刺队也无法阻止詹姆斯·哈登的运球突破,他突破禁区为队友创造机会,并用传球撕裂了联防。
  • 尽管祖巴茨以出色的后场防守而闻名,但马刺队仍然选择在挡拆中针对他,因为他会回缩防守而不是在掩护墙前进行防守。快船队会协防侧翼来稍微隐藏他的弱点,并且他在下半场防守位置会稍微靠上一些。
  • 德文·瓦塞尔毫无存在感,8次投篮仅命中3球。克里斯·保罗在对阵他的老东家之一的比赛中,在下半场显得越来越疲惫。
  • 在垃圾时间之前,马刺队的替补席略胜一筹。特别是,布雷克·韦斯利以一种凶猛的扣篮方式在防守端穿梭,此外,凯尔登·约翰逊在近距离范围六次得分。他们为马刺队提供了更多的运球进攻选择。
  • 巴恩斯是球队的最佳球员,以80%的投篮命中率得到24分。他几乎是球队唯一的进攻来源,占据了球队前30分钟得分的73%。卡斯尔在上半场表现平平,但在下半场提高了侵略性,并且频繁走上罚球线。
  • 快船队在篮板球上以19个的优势击败了马刺队,并以19个二次进攻得分惩罚了他们。

Spurs fall flat against Clippers in the second half, losing 122-117

NBA: San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers

LAC’s rebounding resulted in eight more shots.

The Spurs got whacked by the surging Clippers, who needed this win more to stay out of Play-In Tournament territory. Ivica Zubac was a man among boys, and the Spurs’ defense couldn’t do enough to slow down the surplus of LAC’s options.

The Spurs hung around in the first quarter, which featured four lead changes, thanks in part to Harrison Barnes’ sharpshooting, Stephon Castle’s rim pressure, and the defense forcing two shot clock violations. Notably, the Spurs were the more efficient club, shooting 56% in the quarter.

The second started with the Spurs down two, but they briefly took a five-point lead as Barnes, Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson carried the team with shots from long and close range. Their issues were poor ball security and stopping LAC’s bigger bodies from infiltrating the restricted area five times.

The Spurs gave up a 10-2 run in the last two minutes before halftime. At that point, the Spurs were down 54-52 despite shooting 54.1 percent and pushing the pace. They were also down on the glass by six and had committed two extra turnovers. Subsequently, coach Mitch Johnson called two timeouts three minutes into the third quarter as the team came out of the break sloppy.

Despite a productive period from Barnes and Castle, they closed the quarter down 13 points as the defense was overwhelmed by eight strikes at the rim and three trifectas. The fourth quarter was more of the same after a poor start as the Spurs could only get within striking distance before letting go of the rope.

Takeaways:

  • Following a close first half, the Clippers had a counter for every run the Spurs had in the second and went ahead by as much as 17 points. On top of that, the Spurs’ half-court attack scored 104.8 points per 100 plays, good enough for the 71st percentile, per Cleaning the Glass.
  • Zubac laid waste to everyone in front of him with eight offensive rebounds, hooks, rim rolls, and putbacks. Norman Powell scored on catch-and-go moves and downhill attacks. The Spurs also couldn’t stop James Harden on the dribble as he sliced through the lane to set up his teammates. He picked apart the zone with his passing.
  • Despite Zubac’s reputation as a nice backline defender, the Spurs were going at him on pick-and-rolls because he drops instead of playing at the level of the screen. The Clippers helped off the wings to hide him a bit, and he was playing a bit higher up in the second half.
  • Devin Vassell was a non-factor, taking eight shots and making just three. Chris Paul got weaker as the game went on in the second half against one of his old teams.
  • The Spurs had a slightly superior bench before garbage time. Particularly, Blake Wesley zig-zagged his way through the defense for a ferocious jam, plus Keldon Johnson scored six times at close range. They gave the Spurs more options off the dribble.
  • Barnes was the team’s top player, scoring 24 points on 80 percent shooting. He was almost their only source of offense, accounting for 73 percent of the team’s points through 30 minutes of action. Castle, who had an OK first half, picked up his assertiveness in the second. He lived at the free-throw line.
  • The Clippers outrebounded the Spurs by 19 and punished them with 19 second-chance points.
