In the second quarter, Ji Guoyi scored two points with his back shot in the low post as soon as he came on the court, this trick he did not use in the first quarter against Boozer, the little fox is very cunning, no one knows better than him, persimmon to pick up soft pinch! This time it was Mir who defended him. Sapp, this person is a soft persimmon in his eyes.

Mill. Sapp protested to the referee, and when Ji Guoyi leaned back with his shoulder, his movements were obviously too big, and his chest was hurt by the opponent's bones!

Ji Guosha pulled his leg and ran towards his half after scoring a goal, he didn't squint and resolutely didn't look at the referee, he knew that his actions were suspected of fouls, but if he didn't play such a small trick, he couldn't put Mir at all. Sapp heads into the box. Ji Guoyi is only 228 pounds now, Mir. Sapp, on the other hand, weighs a full 245 pounds, which is still a little lighter than most of the NBA's black, hard interior linemen.

"Lao Tzu will definitely practice to more than 235 pounds next summer, and the ultimate goal is 245 pounds.

The next time the Clippers attacked, the defense Ji Guosha became Kirilenko, Mil. Sapp defends Ji Guoqiu in the low post. Then let Mir. Sapu's grief and anger were sent again, and Ji Guoqiu also chose to lean back to fight in the low line, obviously Brother Panda also regarded him as a soft persimmon.

Ji Guoqiu weighs 235 pounds, and his strength is stronger than his younger brother. Sapp took two steps back, then used his low foot, stunned his opponent's center of gravity, and easily scored the basketball with a small hook.

At this time, Brother Panda had a little bit of Duncan's meaning.

"Boss, you're almost ten centimeters taller than him. Do you need to go through that much trouble? Wouldn't you just bukkake him? ”

". You are allowed to pick up soft persimmons. Can't you pinch it too? ”

The 20,000 fanatical Jazz fans at the Energy Center continue to insult the two brothers with racially smuggled expletives, and these guys are worthy of being one of the most fanatical fans in the NBA, and they have been shouting for more than a quarter, and the momentum is still so loud, it is indeed much stronger than the staying power of the Clippers fans at their home court.

Sloane saw that this was not the way to go, Mir. Sapp was quite impressive in the series against the Rockets, and he made a great contribution to the Jazz. But in the second round, he faced his twin brother, Mir. Sapp was obviously restrained by the two, he was too short, the official height was 203cm, but in fact only 200cm, which was limited in height than Hayes.

Jazz switched to Carlos at 9:05. Boozer, replaced Mir. Sapp, the anti-bone boy temporarily plays the center position.

The two brothers, facing the interior combination of Boozer and Kirilenko, began to run crossover in the high post with the aim of misaligning the Jazz's two interior defenses. Then move on to their height advantage.

Kirilenko is 205cm tall and has an arm span of 230cm. It seems that Ji Guoyi has no problem defending the No. 4 position. But against Shang Ji Guoqiu, as long as the latter attacks in a low position, his arm span is not so terrible, and the Russians are also at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Ji Guoqiu can completely squeeze into the penalty area and use his back feet to shake off the opponent and score easily.

Ji Guoqiu scored two consecutive misplaced singles Kirilenko on the offensive end, plus Kirilenko and Delong in the second quarter. Williams missed another three-pointer from the outside, and the score was stretched to 32:24, and the Jazz were about to charge for a double-digit point difference.

Sloan knew he had to find a way to score at the moment, so he called a timeout in time to set it up, and the Clippers were mainly interior twin brothers on the offensive end today, and now a fool can see it.

On the offensive end, how to break the twins' double circle? On the defensive end, how do you defend the twins' low-post offense and high-post shooting?

Sloan knows that the Jazz are facing these two problems now, one offense and one defense, isn't this TM impossible to attack and prevent?

The 60-second timeout passed quickly, and Sloan couldn't come up with a solution and had to switch to Carlos. Boozer and Oku's interior combination, but the twins still have a way to deal with these two, and Sloan found that they just couldn't defend themselves against the twins' attacks today.

After the game restarted, the Jazz attacked first.

Boozer finally received the basketball in the low post this time, but was immediately caught by the Clippers players, Garcia helped defend faster than Artest, this time he and Ji Guoyi quickly sandwiched Boozer into a pie, so that the anti-bone boy could not pass the ball, and it was about to cause a turnover.

"Let go of the o'clock direction, I'll break the ball here!" Ji Guoqiu shouted telepathically at this time.

Ji Guoyi immediately let go of a passing gap, Boozer didn't know what the situation was, and the anti-bone boy was already planning to hold the ball with both hands and call a timeout, and then suddenly found a route that could pass the ball, his mind couldn't think too much at this moment, and immediately passed the basketball along this channel to the direction of Oku.

"Don't pass it on!"

Oku just wanted to remind that Boozer had already thrown the ball over, Ji Guoqiu rushed forward and intercepted the basketball, and the Clippers quickly attacked......

Blavin. Knight and the old cat Mobley quickly went down, Ji Guoqiu passed the basketball to the former, and then he followed, the Clippers played three and two in the frontcourt, and the old cat Mobley received a pass and hit a layup.

The score was 34:24, and the difference was 10 points after a timeout.

The Energy Center arena finally quieted down a lot, and the score difference came to 10 points, which finally hit the arrogance of these guys, and the Clippers began to gradually suppress the Jazz.

Seeing that this lineup was playing well on the court, the elder Dunleavy did not rush to replace Billups and Artest, and continued to let Blaven. Knight, Garcia, James. Posey, Ji Guoyi, and Ji Guoqiu are dealing with the Jazz on the court, and their current lineup is more mobile and more suitable for joint defense and fast offense.

The only way for the Jazz to deal with the Clippers in the second quarter was to let Delon Brown. Williams' breakthrough was even more resolute, and Blevin. Knight was not tall enough to interfere with the little fat man's shooting, and was scored four points by Williams with two consecutive runs on a breakaway.

Dunleavy Sr. hurriedly replaced Blavin. Knight, that's why he traded Billups, the playoff stage, as long as there is a weakness, it will definitely be targeted to death, and Blavin's height is an Achilles' heel that will be infinitely magnified in the playoffs.

Ji Guosha continued to run around. Of course, this is just an adjective. His running was not a blind run. The Clippers are not the only ones who do off-ball cover for him, the old Dunleavy requires the whole team to cooperate with Ji Guoqiu's running position and help him block the defenders, and the little fox is the Clippers' trump card against the Jazz in the second round.

After Billups came on the field, Delon Brown. Williams is still attacking strongly, and the little fat man's breakthrough is not fancy, but it is definitely practical, and even more powerful than Mr. Key's breakthrough.

6 minutes and 50 seconds in the second quarter. Delong. Williams broke through Billups, stepped into the free throw line before the Clippers players could close the circle, and the basketball hit the red frame on the rebound and bounced into the net!

Jazz fans raised their arms and cheered, and the shouts of the energy stadium were drowned out by the referee's whistle, and the ball was fouled by Billups, two plus one.

The score is 39:32, Delong. Williams relied on his breakthrough to give the Jazz a blood transfusion, and this shot plus a free throw. There are still 6 points left in the difference.

"Bang dang!" Delong. Williams missed a free throw, and the rebound was grabbed by Ji Guoqiu.

"Back to the defense!"

Sloan shouted from the sidelines. The two Clippers guards had already turned around and went down quickly, Ji Guoqiu quickly passed the basketball to Billups, and Mr. Key used his skillful ball control to dodge Ronnie. Brewer, forcing the latter to use fouls to stop the Clippers' counterattack.

This is the fourth foul of the Jazz in the second quarter, and as long as there is another foul, free throws will be made, and the situation on the court is even more unfavorable for the Jazz.

Charles. Barkley said in the live audience: "The Jazz are not attentive enough, the players are sleepwalking on the court, they have to decide if they want to win the game, if they want to, they have to do it seriously. ”

The Clippers sent the ball in the frontcourt, Billups received Ji Guoqiu's serve, glanced around, and the fox brother made a no-ball cover at the top of the arc at this time.

Billups dribbled and moved towards Ji Guoyi, and the two made a blocking and dismantling cooperation at the top of the arc, and after the disassembly, Mr. Key got a gap, and without thinking too much, he immediately shot the basket......

"Huh!" Basketball hollow into the net.

With a score of 42:32, the Jazz could have narrowed the gap to 6 points, but in less than half a minute, Billups' three-pointer brought the difference between the two teams to 10 points again.

The Jazz are ready to use outside players to wrap Ji Guoqiu and Ji Guoqi on the inside, and now Billups's three-point shooting allows them to dispel this idea, Mr. Key's three-point shooting is not comfortable, and the Clippers' excellent outside shooting ability makes the Jazz unable to invest too much in interior defense, and they can't wrap up the twins.

In the first half, the Clippers twins played well, Billups gave the two full support on the outside, and the Jazz fell behind at halftime.

With the score at 55:42, the Jazz were already trailing by 13 points at the end of the first half, and they had a very difficult time on their home court, but the Clippers looked extremely relaxed, which was much easier than their first round against the Spurs.

Ji Guoqiu got 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the first half, Ji Guoqiu had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block, Billups had 8 points and 5 assists, and James. Posey 7 points, Mobley 5 points, Artest 5 points.

Delong. Williams 13 points and 3 assists, Oku 9 points, Boozer 4 points, Kirilenko 8 points, Kyle Brown 13 points, Ok Oku 9 points, Boozer 4 points, Kyle Brown 13 points, 3 assists, Oku 9 points, Boozer 4 points, Kirilenko 8 points Korver 6 points, Ronnie. Brewer 2 points.

At the end of the first half, the Clippers players looked like they were playing at home, and Ji Guoyi waved defiantly to the crowd before entering the tunnel of players, which caused him to boo and curse more violently, but this did not affect the optimistic attitude of the Clippers players, who completed the easiest first half of the playoffs with confidence.

Intermission, ESPN Live Booth, Jeff. Van Gundy is analyzing the Jazz's troubles: "The biggest problem for the Jazz right now is that their offensive efficiency is too low, and the pick-and-roll coordination that they are good at is not playing at all. I just did the math and they shot just 39 percent from the field and 68 percent from the free-throw line in the first half. They shot a little better in the first quarter, but the Jazz players felt like they were in the refrigerator in the second quarter after a relatively good first quarter. If the Jazz want to increase their offensive efficiency, they need to pass more balls and let players do more off-ball sports, just like Ji Guoyi did in the first half, avoiding hand-to-hand combat with opponents. ”

Mark. Jackson agrees: "The Clippers are different from the Rockets, they are constantly moving around the court, they are constantly covering off the ball, they are constantly running and they are constantly playing pick-and-rolls, and the Clippers seem to have a lot of offensive tools and obviously learned a lot in the first round against the Spurs." And this style of play allows them to avoid getting into a muscular confrontation with the Jazz, where the Clippers are no match for the Jazz, and they are smart enough to avoid what they are not good at. ”

Jeff. Van Gundy asked, "What do you think caused Jazz players to shoot so low in the first half?" ”

Mark. Jackson replied, "The Jazz defense relies on muscles and uses brutal confrontations to defend the opponent's offense; The Clippers are different, they use their height and reach and flexible footwork to defend, they are more skillful, and the effect is no worse than that of the Jazz, looking at the score in the first half, they obviously did a good job, both ornamental and efficient, no wonder the referees are also towards them. ”

The two laughed when they said this, the referee was really biased towards the away team today, and the Jazz seemed to be very unpopular, and there was no home whistle even at home, which was really pitiful.

Dunleavy Sr. spoke to the media before entering the tunnel at half-time, and he looked in a good mood today, and said to the camera in a radiant light: "The first round taught us that if you want to avoid being eliminated, you need to give it your all, and we took the lead early today, which is good, and we will keep the advantage until the end."
