Ji Guoqiu scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block in the first quarter, Ji Guoqiu had 4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Billups had 4 points and 2 assists, and Hill had 2 points.

Yao Ming had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, Marbury had 7 points and 1 assist, Scola had 10 points and 2 rebounds, and Rudy. Guy 4 points.

In the first quarter, rebounding became the key to the Rockets' final decline, and the Clippers scored a total of 7 frontcourt rebounds in this quarter, especially Ji Guoyi, the power forward who gave the Rockets a lot of damage in the playoffs last year, scored 4 points and 6 rebounds on 2-of-4 shooting in the first quarter, 4 of which were frontcourt rebounds.

The Rockets have little to do against their twin brothers. Although Yao Ming is tall enough, his bounce ability has long been gone, and his speed of grabbing positions is too slow, and he falls behind the two brothers every time he scrambles for rebounds. And with the inside combination of David Lee and Scola, the Rockets have fallen behind in height, and they can't do it.

The two brothers played almost the full first quarter, with only a two-minute break in the second quarter, when Dunleavy Sr. reintroduced his ace inside line.

At 10:01 in the second quarter, the score was 28:26, Crawford scored four points in a row, this guy really can't find fault with the table in the regular season, the output is stable and efficient, and occasionally convulsions can also transform into Kobe Bryant in the half. But in the playoffs, it is estimated that he will still have to launch stealth skills.

Hayes fouled defensively, the Clippers made substitution adjustments, and the lineup on the court became: Dragic, Crawford, Ji Guoqiu, Ji Guoqiu [, Jordan Jr.

Dunleavy Sr. has indeed seen an increase in coaching skills this season, and since the Clippers have the advantage in rebounding, it is undoubtedly a wise decision to continue to increase the weight on it.

The Clippers put on a three-center lineup. Adelman didn't have much room for adjustment. It stands to reason that the Rockets won't lose like this in rebounding. Their heights instead prevailed, Rudy. Guy is also a tall player at the No. 3 position, but they just can't beat the Clippers, and those two animals work together too tacitly, too damn good.

In the second quarter, Ji Guoyi began to strengthen his offense. Li defended him, or Scola was in place with him. He's at a disadvantage in height and footwork, and it's his turn to score.

Old Dunleavy also instructed that as long as Yao Ming is not on the field, the fox brother is the team's main point of attack.

Rookie Badinger showed his immature side, assisting in two consecutive breakthroughs by the fox brother, both of which ended in fouls, and Ji Guoyi easily scored 4 points at the free throw line.

Ji Guoyan is a rookie, and he is particularly handy.

Adelman had to switch to Guy early, and after the Rockets traded for Guy, the outside bench began to stretch. You can only rely on the Guy who can work harder.

The game in the second quarter was similar to the first, and the Clippers still blew up the Rockets on rebounds. This puts the game fully on track for the Clippers.

Dragic, Crawford and even Jordan Jr. in the Clippers' bench always have a physical advantage in one-on-one confrontations, which makes the Clippers Although the shooting percentage is not high, the team's offense in every round can almost end up scoring points.

In terms of athleticism between the two teams, the Clippers overwhelmingly defeated the Rockets, which is why the Rockets are looked down on by experts, they are not energetic enough, especially before the trade to Guy, which always gives people a sense of lifelessness.

In the first quarter, the Houstonians were still a little cheap on Guy, but when Ji Guosha began to play the No. 3 position, Guy became constrained everywhere.

Ji Guoyi's height is far higher than Guy's, his footwork and explosiveness are not inferior, and his arm span is also dominant, Guy is basically suppressed in all directions in the face of Ji Guoyi, and he disappeared directly on the court after he came on the court in the second quarter, and his appearance was not as good as the first quarter.

"No wonder the Grizzlies trade you, you have to introspect, you know?"

Ji Guozhi was just a simple sentence, but it made Guy even more uneasy.

The scores widened further and were stretched to double digits midway through the second quarter. Perhaps sensing a sense of crisis, the Rockets' energy and intensity began to increase in the second half of the second quarter, especially the offensive power of Yao Ming and Scola on the inside began to play a role.

But the shooting percentage began to plague the Rockets again at this time, and the Rockets shot a measly 25% from the field in the second quarter, which made their efforts to chase points somewhat inefficient. It is worth mentioning that another advantage of the Rockets today has not been reflected, that is, in terms of outside offense, facing the Clippers, who have the league's first defensive ability, the Rockets only made 2 of 10 three-point shots in the first half today, on the contrary, the Clippers only made 8 shots, but they scored 5 goals.

Ji Guosha succeeded in restricting Rudy in the second quarter. Guy, meanwhile, was unaffected by his own offense, scoring eight points in the quarter.

The Clippers' sixth man, Crawford, was very good today, and he had a great hand, which allowed him to play the majority of the second quarter, scoring 12 points in the first half and being one of the main contributors to the Clippers' lead over the Rockets.

The Rockets eventually narrowed the double-digit deficit to seven points at halftime and went into the second half with a 58-51 score.

Yao Ming had a good performance in the second half of the second quarter today, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-5 shooting. In terms of frontcourt rebounds, the Rockets narrowed the gap to 12-7 with an explosion in the second half of the second quarter, and in terms of shooting percentage, the Clippers still shot 48%, far ahead of the Rockets' 38%.

The reason why the Rockets fell behind was because their offense was more fragmented today, with only eight assists in the half. The bench players were not as good as their opponents, scoring just six points off the bench in the half, while the Clippers contributed 20 points from the bench in the first half and Crawford himself contributed 12 points.

Jeff. Van Gundy midcourt commented: "If the rebounds can't be controlled, if the outside line can't be shot, if the bench players can't provide effective support, the Rockets are very dangerous today." ”

Ji Guoqiu had 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoqiu had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Billups had 7 points and 3 assists, Crawford had 12 points, and Hill had 4 points.

Yao Ming had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Marbury had 10 points and 3 assists, and Scola had 12 points and 3 rebounds. Rudy. Guy 8 points. David. Lee had 7 points and 3 rebounds. Lowry 4 points.

Half a year ago, the Houston Rockets fell to the Los Angeles Clippers in the playoff semifinals; Half a year later, they got another chance for revenge, and they wanted to prove their strength with victory. The Rockets rallied back late in the second quarter to end the first half with a six-point deficit at 58:51.

In the second half, it was clear from the roar from the Rockets' locker room that their fighting spirit was still high.

In the third quarter, the Clippers took the lead in attacking. Billups' breakthrough caused Guy to be fouled, and it was Rudy. Guy was fouled for the third time of the game, and after Billups hit two free throws, the margin widened to eight points.

The Rockets' offense, Scola's strong attack on the right side, and he shot the ball with fantastic footwork.

Ji Guoyan missed the next shot, and Yao Ming won the rebound.

Marbury immediately attracted the Clippers' defense after receiving the ball, and when the Lone Wolves broke through and pretended to get out of the defense, he stuffed the ball to Rudy in the bottom left corner. Guy, the latter is unguarded. The three points missed again.

This was Guy's fourth three-point miss in the game, and Ji Guoyi's trash talk affected Guy's entire game. Rockets players may not really be dissatisfied with his appearance, forcing Kobe Bryant and James, not often missing shots in a row, and only hitting one or two shots in ten shots is more frequent, so Guy's frequent shooting today is still his own psychological problem.

Swept away by the Grizzlies, Guy was the time to prove himself the most, but the Rockets players were cold to him, which made Guy want to prove his ability even more, and as a result, he got into the horns. It can only be said that the psychology and tactics of the fox brother are becoming more and more terrifying, and "the soldier who surrenders without a fight" is the highest realm.

However, Ji Guoshi was proud on the defensive end, and there were some waves on the offensive end. After breaking through the basket with the ball, the fox brother couldn't move under Yao Ming's defense, and could only pass the ball out of the right side of the little giant.

After Afflaro received the ball, Yao Ming had already turned around, and Afflaro made a one-arm layup, which was covered by Yao Ming.

The Rockets counterattacked, and Marbury's layup caused a foul on Ji Guoqiu, and he hit one of two free throws.

A mistake doesn't matter, but Ji Guoyi then made another mistake and was stealed by Guy, who advanced to the front court with the ball after breaking the ball, Scola was already under the basket at this time, Guy hit the ball and passed, Scola received the ball and hit a layup, and the Rockets scored four points in a row to narrow the score to within 5 points.

After Yao Ming blocked, he proudly gave a provocative look to the dead fox, the little giant could not open this game, and now it is indeed worth rejoicing.

The Clippers attacked, and Ji Guoyi was a little anxious after being cut off, but he made another mistake. Marbury took the rebound and advanced to the front court for a layup, but was driven to block by his panda brother. But Guy immediately jumped up and won the rebound, and the second offense not only hit the ball, but also caused another foul by Ji Guoqiu, and Brother Panda also committed three fouls.

Ji Guoshi was very painful, far away, afraid of being sprayed.

"I'm afraid of your uncle, did you do it on purpose? Three mistakes in a row, how many goals did you score last night? Are your feet soft now? ”

Ji Guoqiu carried two pots in a row for the dead fox, and he was very unhappy.

"Accident, absolutely accident."

Ji Guo said stupidly, standing under the basket and looking at the basket, not daring to look at the angry eyes of the giant panda.

Gay was even worse than him today, missing the free throw again, and the Rockets only narrowed the deficit to 2 points.

After the start of the third quarter, the Rockets played a small climax, and the third quarter was 8:05 left.

Billups began to take over the ball, and the little foxes were still unreliable at times, and that's when Billups and Panda Brother came in handy.

Marbury's defense is not bad, but today the Lone Wolves bet too much energy on the offensive end, and it is not very easy to face Billups' breakthrough.

The Rockets spent all their energy on guarding the twin brothers, and Biloops's supervision was not strict enough, Mr. Key first used Ji Guoqiu's blocking and demolition to enter the interior line, causing Scola to foul and hit both free throws; Then there was another pick-and-roll, a mid-range shot that hit accurately, scoring four points in a row and pulling the gap away.

Billups' performance wasn't over yet, and now that their pick-and-roll coordination was effective, Billups went on to use the pick-and-roll to break inside for the third time.

The Rockets players were interested in Billups this time, but this time Mr. Key did not attack himself, but broke through to his teammates and assisted Hill on a mid-range shot.

The Clippers hit a 6-0 mini-climax in the blink of an eye, forcing the Rockets to call a timeout.

The Rockets came back from a timeout, and Yao Ming scored a goal with his precise hook hand.

Marbury broke through the ball, but Guy missed a jumper.

The Clippers immediately counterattacked, Billups quickly got to the basket, and in the face of Gay, Mr. Key pretended to pass, but immediately turned around and got rid of Gay, and the ball was handed over to Ji Guosha, who followed up. The latter stepped hard, and directly buckled with both hands, and the Staples Stadium suddenly boiled!

Coach Adelman doesn't think it's good, and the Clippers are going to launch a wave of offense.

He guessed right, as long as the Clippers play a good offense, there is a good chance that they will launch a wave of offense in the next period.

Yao Ming faced the onslaught of the Clippers players and quickly went off the court with four fouls.

The Rockets' Scola stood out today, Yao Ming just got off the court, Scola held the ball on the offensive end, faked a rebound layup, leaned on Ji Guoqiu's layup, and caused the latter's foul, and also beat the panda down.

It's a pity that the Rockets made free throws today, and Scola actually missed the free throws.

Ji Guosha's outside three-point iron, David. After Lee grabbed the rebound, Marbury still gave the ball to Scola this time.

Scola made a repetition of the trick, and after breaking through to the basket, he was fouled by Ji Guoyi, and he yelled under the basket to express his excitement, but he still only scored 1 point on two free throws, which is really hell.

At 4:40 in the third quarter, the score was 74:70, and the Clippers led by four points.

Ji Guoqiu had to rest in the middle of this section due to 4 fouls, and Yao Ming was beaten down at the same time as him.

The fox brother was not good or bad in the third quarter, and there were many mistakes, but he did a good job of impacting the basket, but the score still couldn't be pulled away.

Guy has been a terrible mid-range shooter, but his breakaway shot has helped his teammates get a lot of chances. This guy is protruding, Hill can't prevent it, only Ji Guoyan can prevent it. But after the Panda brother is gone, he needs to focus more on the offense and can't defend Guy separately.

Dunleavy Sr. later used Barnes to defend Gay, which worked a little better, but the offensive end was affected again.

In the third quarter, the two teams maintained a balance of power, after Yao Ming and Ji Guoqiu got off the court, neither side could help each other, and the offensive end only blossomed without fruit, the score was 80:76, and the Clippers entered the final quarter with a 4-point lead.

Ji Guoqiu 20 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoyi 18 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, Billups 14 points and 5 assists, Crawford 14 points, Hill 8 points.

Yao Ming 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Marbury 16 points and 6 assists, Scola 17 points and 6 rebounds, Rudy. Guy 11 points, David. Lee had 10 points and five rebounds, and Lowry had four points. (To be continued......) R1292
