On December 23, the Clippers finished their game against the Mavericks and rushed to San Antonio without time to rest, where they will challenge another Texas powerhouse the next day, the San Antonio Spurs, the first team in the West this season and last season's champions.

The Spurs are facing similar problems this season to the Mavericks, and Duncan is a year older, which is not a big problem. Their problems are with Bou and Finley and a bunch of role players, as well as Barry Sr., who was a standout player last season, and who also went to the Seattle SuperSonics this season.

These are all players who made great contributions to the Spurs championship last season, or they are not young anymore, and the decline in the new season is very strict; Either they left the Spurs, although their regular season record is not bad, but the role players are not competitive enough, and the championship flavor of the Spurs is far less strong than last season, and everyone is not optimistic that the Spurs can defend the title this season, don't forget that this year is an even year.

Whether the Spurs can win the championship or not has nothing to do with the Clippers' half a dime.

In the eyes of old Dunleavy, the Clippers will definitely not win the championship this year anyway, so who wins the championship has little to do with them, who likes to win it. Now the Clippers are in front of them to avoid a losing streak, and they have to deal with the Yang team in the next game, which is simply terrible, and this trip to Texas is an N losing streak.

It's a good thing that the Clippers don't want to lose, but losing is not a thing like you can't lose if you want to.

Artest and Mobley are still in the suspension period for this game, and the Clippers backcourt is only Garcia who can be relied on, and even the craziest Clippers fans are not hopeful to defeat the Spurs with two development league emergency guards.

But today Spurs fans were really scared out of a cold sweat by this small broken ship, Ji Guoyi faced the aging Oberto and Thomas today, after being ravaged by Nowitzki, today decisively picked up two soft persimmons and pinched them for a long time, out of the depression of the last game.

The two brothers played 36 minutes today, Ji Guoqiu got 10 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 36 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and the little fox's table was radiant.

The final score was 98103, and the Clippers tied with the Spurs four times in the fourth quarter, and the battle was fierce. But Ginobili's points and Duncan's low-post play at key moments made the Clippers' one-game efforts come to naught.

** Vicky put Duncan as the center today, and has been playing against Ji Guoqiu. He knew that his younger brother Ji Guozhi was slippery, and let Duncan, who was in his 30s, run behind Ji Guoyi's ass all over the field, ** Vicky is not old and confused.

Duncan was blunt at the pre-game press conference today, saying that he wanted to compete with his template on the court. Shi Fo's words were obviously polite, or scene, but the Chinese media took it seriously, and when they returned to China to report, they added a handful of vinegar, and it was almost said that Duncan took the initiative to lick and kneel the two brothers.

Although the American media no longer ridicules the Chinese media for putting the two brothers in the shoes of Tim Duncan and Nowitzki, it still does not admit that the twins have such great potential. However, in this game, Ji Guosha's 36 points made the Clippers still honorable, but also indirectly justified their own name.

** Vicky stood on the sidelines throughout the game, roaring at his team's two power forwards, and the spitting star flooded the entire court, the Spurs coach couldn't bear a rookie to be so presumptuous in the "AT&T Center Arena", if he couldn't even clean up a small red fox, would he still be able to get benefits for the Celtics in the future?

The San Antonio Spurs are less competitive this year than last year, but they are still title contenders, and Vicky has no other opponents in the West in mind, and the only thing they see as the biggest threat to the title is the Celtics in the East.

Duncan scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks against his panda brother, Ginobili had 22 points and 5 assists, and Parker had 20 points and 7 assists.

Ji Guoqiu got a super number on the field today, but Ji Guoqiu was bullied by Duncan all night.

Brother Panda faced the spicy stone Buddha, and he looked too immature at both ends of the offense and defense. In terms of athleticism, Ji Guoqiu is undoubtedly much stronger than Duncan, who is almost 32 years old, but the lack of experience makes Duncan seem to suppress this rising star on the court with every move, and it seems that it doesn't take much effort.

Duncan's style of play is unpretentious, he doesn't have the athleticism of Howard and Garnett, so he never wastes a trace of energy, every action on the court is simplified, difficult is easy, never flashy moves, he is a real grandmaster on the basketball court.

Ji Guoqiu also relied on his excellent athleticism in the game, fanned Duncan's shots and dunks on the defensive end, but this does not change the fact that he was abused, a block and a dunk can only appear in YouTube highlights, and there is little other use.

The truth of Duncan's play, Ji Guoqiu has long known, and most Chinese fans also know it, just like the heavy sword in Dugu Nine Swords, it has no edge, and it means that it doesn't work. But if you want to really reach this realm, in addition to talent, you need a lot of game experience, isn't it true that Dugu in Jin Yong's book only understood this truth after he was 40 years old?

The Clippers have a four-day break after their game against the Spurs, and they will face their opponents in the same division, Phoenix Young, on December 28.

Ji Guoqiu has been resting for the past few days, except for taking time to accompany Twilight to have lunch or dinner, most of the time has been spent in training and watching videos, and he doesn't even touch his favorite games.

Duncan's ravages on him aroused Ji Guoqiu's more urgent desire to improve his strength, and he didn't want to see Duncan next time he was still so powerless.

Ji Guozhi has no choice, he can only hide in the training management with the giant panda these days and sweat, his brother trains hard in the training hall, he can't always be outside to pick up girls, right?

After the Clippers' loss, the official website released news that captain Elton Brand's injury is progressing well, and the captain is expected to return to individual training in early January and participate in team practice at the end of the month, and is expected to return before the All-Star break.

Elton Brand's fate has been quietly rewritten by the two brothers, and although the captain's injuries are the same as in another time and space, Yan Zhan Cheng has obviously been reduced. The brothers remember well that at another time and space, Brand only made eight appearances at the end of the season, and his appearance on the court plummeted, leaving the NBA's top five forwards.

However, now it seems that Brand's injury should be at least half lighter, and such an injury may not make the old captain drop significantly, and their former core still has 20+10 All-Star strength.

This incident has been a mixed blessing for the Clippers.

The media is also very interested in this matter, the strength of the old captain before the injury is obviously much stronger than the two brothers at the moment, but in terms of potential, either of the twin brothers is probably only higher than Brand, and there are two people now, plus the Clippers have an excellent record this season, the team system has been rebuilt, and now there is a lack of All-Star power forward, but an All-Star point guard, so Blanton's position is very awkward at this time.

The old captain said in an interview during the injury that he would not mind giving up his central position after returning from injury, and admitted to reporters: "I know that once we come back, people will think that there will be a fight between me and the twins, but in fact it is the opposite. ”

"They can break down the defense, my brother can shoot jumpers in the high post, my brother can hit from the outside, and I can wait for an opportunity in the low post or shoot a few jump shots on the weak side, cut to the basket and get to the basket, and that makes my job a lot easier," Brand told reporters. They're only 19 years old now, but I'm almost 30 years old. ”

This interview was naturally arranged by the Clippers, so Brand doesn't know if this remark was out of his true thoughts, or forced by the pressure of the old Dunleavy helplessly, in short, the old captain told reporters: "I am about to have a mid-life crisis during this time, in fact, I don't mind giving up the core position, I have been in this league for 8 years, and I have no problem at all with handing over the team to the twins." They've done a great job this season and I think we have a chance to win the title this season. ”

When talking about the twins, Brand also praised his teammates, the old captain said: "I think the twins are gradually playing dominance on the court, and they are better together than me on the defensive end, but the pressure will also come to them, and I can use my experience to make them less cornered." Now they and the team are in a great position and they have the opportunity to grow in that position, and they have great players like Ron Artest and James Posey around them. Artest is a beast, and a lot of times he's our vanguard, and when something needs to be done, he's the guy. When the time comes, the twins will become very, very determined, and they will be tested because they have this ability. ”

Elton Brand's interview allowed Clippers fans to temporarily dispel the team's possible infighting, but the old Dunleavy will not be so easy to fool, in fact, this interview is his arrangement, although he did not force Brand to say anything in the interview, but he knows that once Brand returns, Ji Guoyi will move to the small forward position, which will affect the rotation of the team's No. 2 position.
