Chapter 40: Rebounding

"Mine!"

Ji Guoqiu shouted, squeezed Biedlins under the basket, and jumped up to grab his 12th rebound of the day.

It was 6:55 of the fourth quarter, and the two brothers played the full third quarter before returning to the court after a five-minute break in the final quarter.

The score was 90:91, and the Clippers temporarily trailed by one point.

Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and quickly handed it to Breven Knight.

The Clippers' on-court lineup is Blevine Knight, James Posey, Artest, Ji Guoyi, and Ji Guoqiu.

With James Posey on the floor today, they haven't fallen behind each other, he doesn't have Mobley defensively, he's athletic, three-point accuracy, he's a very useful player, and it's no problem to play sixth man or even start.

The old cat doesn't care much about the playing time now, he already has the idea of retiring, of course he won't compete with others for those few minutes of playing time, the coach lets him play, let him rest and rest, anyway, the salary is still right.

Artest fell directly to the waist position this time, the Warriors used Harrington to dislocate the defense, the beast still played correctly, and in terms of strength, he still did not suffer in the face of the Warriors' No. 4 player, and even if the center Bidlings in the Warriors team, he may not be stronger than him in terms of strength.

Harrington was pushed back again and again, so angry that he wanted to scold his mother! Today he has allowed a rookie rookie to score almost 20 points, and now he is misplaced and pushed into the three-second zone by Artest, and he has become a soft egg that anyone can bully.

Jackson hesitated, and finally chose to enter the inside line to flank Artest.

Artest is not unable to pass the ball, and he also averages three or four assists per game, and when he saw Jackson wrapping up, he immediately distributed the ball to Ji Guozhi on the outside.

Ji Guoyi got another vacant position, and without hesitation, he threw the basketball with a knife in his hand and scored three points again.

Counting this goal, Ji Guoyi has scored a full 21 points today, which is far better than the space easy count jΓΉ a few days ago. Maybe it's not appropriate to make a comparison with space easy, this year's star Durant scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals in his debut. This number is very good, but Ji Guoyi has now scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, and he has surpassed Durant.

In the sideline press area, reporters from all walks of life felt incredible when they saw the number of the two brothers! Because these two are only stronger than Durant, Durant is the best one in the first game of this year's rookies, so doesn't that mean that these two brothers are better than Durant?

"Did that brother say that the two of them should be the champion and the leader?"

When a reporter didn't open a pot, everyone looked back and found that it was a Chinese reporter, and looking at his proud face, other American reporters felt that this damned Chinese was really underwhelmed!

The performance of the two brothers was not over, and two minutes later, Ji Guoyi received the ball from his brother in the middle distance, and forced a shot with his height and arm length, and successfully ** Al Harrington, who was already on fire, increased his score to 23 points.

Nelson Sr. finally couldn't take it anymore and replaced Harrington with the next dead ball, using small forward Barnes to take on the power forward position. Defense is like a piece of, Harrington he doesn't dare to use anymore, and although the Warriors don't value defense, they can't really be like air. He didn't contribute much on the offensive end of the game, and the defensive end was like a sparring partner.

Matt Barnes, the 27-year-old small forward is 201cm tall and weighs just 220 pounds.

"See, the Warriors' No. 4 position was blown up by me, and they can only use the No. 3 position to make do."

"Don't be happy so early, Barnes is a member of the Lakers championship in two years, and I don't believe he has the ability to take a fancy to him."

Ji Guoyi didn't believe that this guy who was 10cm shorter than himself could pose any threat to himself, and said in his heart: "Pass the ball to me and let me ** him." ”

A minute passed, and Ji Guozhi did not receive the basketball, which made him extremely unhappy.

"Boss, ball! Pass me quickly and let me ** him! ”

"**Your uncle, you run out of position first, I don't have a passing route."

Ji Guoshi was speechless, he didn't seem to have a chance to run, don't look at this Barnes is 10cm shorter than him, but his flexible feet and strong body allow him to make up for his lack of height, sticking it all the way to his ass like a dog skin plaster.

"I don't believe he can keep me from catching the ball!" Ji Guoyi was grabbed by Barnes seemingly unintentionally, making his running run fall short, and said through gritted teeth in his heart.

A few rounds later, the game was already in the final 3 minutes, the score was 101:101, and the two teams were tied.

Ji Guoqi slipped the bottom line this time, first Artest blocked Barnes for him in the low position, and then Ji Guoqiu helped him erect a wall in the three-second area, relying on the double blocking and dismantling cover, Ji Guoyi came out of the inside line and finally got rid of the difficult Barnes.

But he soon discovers that Jackson has found him again.

Seeing that Barnes couldn't keep up, he decisively went to change the defense of Artest, and the Warriors easily replaced the defense, but he still couldn't catch the basketball.

Just when the Warriors were focusing on Ji Guosha, Posey suddenly inserted into the basket from the weak side, Ji Guoqiu immediately passed the basketball in, and Posey quickly dunked after receiving the ball.

The Warriors' defense is shaky and there are plenty of holes, and the Clippers can still find a lot of passing gaps. I just don't know if old Nelson ever had a special arrangement? The Warriors' defense of Ji Guoyi became extremely tight, so that this guy didn't have a chance to connect to the ball.

In the last three minutes, old Dunleavy called a timeout to let the team members recover, Ji Guoyi sat down and took a sip of Gatorade, and said with a look of resentment: "Needless to say, that dead fat old man is clearly aimed at me!" ”

"'Little Fox', your brother has already shown his low-post offense on the court, can't you take out your back-to-back shot?" After arranging the tactics, Old Dunleavy asked Ji Guoyi.

Ji Guoyan was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head and said truthfully: "The hit rate is too low, and it is not as sure as my strong shot in the face frame." ”

"Your opponent in training wasn't a 7-foot man, now your opponent is just a 6-foot-7 guy, go up and try it after the timeout, and I'm on me if you lose."

"Yes, I see."

The elder Dunleavy woke up the dreamer with a word, Barnes's height was only 201cm, and the former did not pose much of a threat to him. If he can catch the ball with his back in the middle distance and use his body to squeeze a few more steps inside, he should have a lot of certainty.

After returning to the game, Ji Guoyi deliberately pulled to the waist and wings, ready to grab the ball with his back at any time.

Ji Guoqiu pulled out to cover, and Blevin Knight went directly to the basket, attracting two Warriors players to defend and throwing the basketball behind him...... Ji Guoqiu immediately went down after blocking and dismantling, jumped high, and did not dunk after receiving the basketball in the air, but took advantage of the situation to hit the board, and the basketball rebounded accurately into the net!

The Clippers next two consecutive rounds, Ji Guoyi did not get a chance to play with his back alone, and it was not until the clock entered the final 1 minute and 15 seconds that he received the basketball with his back in the middle distance of the wing.

The score was 107:106, the Clippers were one point behind, and the importance of Ji's offense was self-evident.

"Hell, either you don't give me the ball, and when you give it, it's such a critical time, is this asking me to take the blame?"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't dare to play and pass the ball out."

"Fart! Will Lao Tzu dare to fight? ”

The two brothers complained a few words in their hearts, Ji Guoyan immediately felt that he was in a state, and his back was squeezed backwards, although his body was not strong, but his height and weight were there, and he still had an advantage over Barnes, who was squeezed by him in two steps to a position close to the three-second zone.

Now that one foot has stepped on the sideline of the three-second zone, Ji Guoyi feels almost the same in this position, and he telepathically sees that his teammates have helped him open up space, and the Warriors have no one to help him defend, and he and Barnes are one-on-one on this offense.

"Boy, Lao Tzu said**you**you!"

Ji Guoyi muttered in his heart, and immediately turned around and threw a backward jumper, if you shoot with a close-up shot, you can see Ji Guoyi's shooting more clearly, the backward amplitude and jump height after turning around are very high, the body is extremely stretched, the posture is picturesque, and there is quite a bit of Kobe Bryant's backward jump shot......

"Bang dang!"

Even the sound of striking iron is the same as the boss!

"Damn, I knew you couldn't be trusted!"

Ji Guoqiu grabbed a favorable position in advance, used his long arm to pop up a little on the basketball that popped up, and made up for Ji Guoqiu's picturesque shot into the basket.

The Clippers fans in the "Staples Arena" saw Ji Guosha's shooting iron, and originally thought that this time it was going to be worse! However, before their thoughts fell, they saw Ji Guoqiu grab the frontcourt rebound again and put the basketball into the basket!

"Well done big man!"

"You're a rebounding monster, all the rebounds are yours!"

"Russians are like a stupid hat in front of you!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Ji Guoqiu's frontcourt rebound this time completely exploded the "Staples Arena", 20,000 Clippers fans all shouted and cheered for this key frontcourt rebound, and the old Dunleavy also pressed the heart that almost fell out back into his stomach, Ji Guoqi This guy is too unreliable, or his brother is reliable.

Not only fans were ecstatic about Ji Guoqiu's rebound, but even the Clippers players were boosted by this offense, and in the next round, they were killed on the defensive end, almost preventing the Warriors for 24 seconds, Davis finally missed the shot in a hurry, and Ji Guoqiu once again grabbed the rebound on everyone's heads, which was his 16th rebound today.
