The Utah Jazz come to Staples Arena in a big way, ready to take revenge!

But they soon discover that the intended enemy doesn't care so much about them, which makes the Utah feel a little self-inflicted. This feeling of being slighted is not only brought to them by the Clippers, but even the Los Angeles media did not take the Utah Jazz seriously, and they had already begun to hype up the only local derby in the NBA.

As for the Utah Jazz?

I'm sorry, no one cares if they can take revenge, if they can hate it, except for themselves.

The Clippers are neither light nor careless, they are strategically abandoning this game, which is less important than tomorrow's back-to-back games against the Lakers.

In the first quarter, the Clippers trailed the Jazz by 5 points at 20:25, which made the elder Dunleavy decide to save his strength, and this game will not be with the Jazz!

So at the end of the first half, the Clippers, who had no intention of fighting, were already 10 points behind.

The elder Dunleavy simply replaced all the main players at this time, and sent a full bench lineup to deal with the Jazz in the second half.

The fact that the Utah felt that they were being underestimated and that the Los Angeles people dared to ignore them so much made the Jazz players whose self-esteem was insulted hold their bellies, and the Utah began to lose their balance on the court.

Jazz players never expected that the Clippers' bench was just in time for the explosion today, and Blavine, who returned from injury in the second half. Knight, led the bench to play a terrifying firepower that exceeded Jazz expectations, Thomas, a big brush, hit 6 three-pointers in the second half in a row, plus the old cat Mobley and Garcia felt hot in the second half, and the Clippers' three main bench scorers shot a total of 13 three-pointers in the second half, which stunned the grief-stricken Utah into a cry!

The final score was 108:102. Mobley broke through at the end and hit a difficult mid-range. Let the Jazz even play overtime illusions shattered.

The Utah Jazz were wiped out by the Clippers as a substitute. After the end of this game, the anti-bone boy didn't even dare to say cruel words, hugged his head and ran away, and Jazz Wolf Bèi fled back to Salt Lake City.

The Clippers won an unexpected victory, improving their record to 34-18 and sitting in seventh place in the West, two wins behind the Nuggets in eighth place and three wins behind the Mavericks in ninth place, and now they are finally not falling outside the top eight in the West after losing a game.

The Western Conference standings are as follows: 1 Spurs, 2 Suns, 3 Rockets, 4 Jazz, 5 Hornets, 6 Lakers, 7 Clippers, 8 Nuggets, 9 Mavericks.

Now the western shape shì is very subtle. Due to the relative weakness of the Northwest Division, the Jazz did not have a good record as the Clippers, but they were in fourth place.

The Rockets and Spurs in the Southwest Division have only half a win, the Houstonians are still on a winning streak, and they could overtake the Spurs to first place in the West at any time, while the Hornets and Rockets are also only one win away, and all three teams are likely to take the first place in the West.

The three teams in the Pacific Division, the Suns, Lakers, and Clippers are not far apart from each other, and the Suns just traded Marion to O'Neal not long ago, and the result was immediately two consecutive defeats. It's already on the verge of being caught up by the Lakers and Clippers. The Lakers and Clippers are just one win away from the next Los Angeles derby. If the Clippers want to beat the Lakers, they will overtake their rivals in the same city.

Before the derby, the Clippers eliminated the Western powerhouse Utah Jazz with only a bench lineup, which made the Clippers more favored in the derby.

The Lakers lost to the Celtics at home in their last game, and their sister-in-law was caught and beaten by the Wolves at Staples Arena. Thornton dunked, which made the Clippers, who had defeated the Celtics before the All-Star break, even more favorable. The media believes that the Spaniard's appearance on the inside line is too soft, look at how the fox brother fought against Garnett in the last game, the two pulled their jerseys and mixed each other, and they were spraying trash talk on each other throughout the game!

In this comparison, the first-year foxes look much tougher than Gasol, who has played for five years, and it is crucial for a player to become a superstar, not just good skills.

Iverson dared to challenge Jordan in his first season; Kobe Bryant was beaten by Joe's gang leader and was still unconvinced; As soon as the little emperor came up, he wore the No. 23 jersey to show his ambition; In the first year, the little fox dared to fight with the wolf king and spray trash talk to each other...... Look at Gasol again, did this grade open immediately?

Before Ji Guosha's game began, he fired at Kobe Bryant again, and the little fox felt that if this kind of game didn't come to a mouth cannon or something before the game, everyone would be so bored to watch!

The reason was that before the game, a reporter leaning towards the Clippers asked Ji Guoyi how they planned to deal with Kobe Bryant in the derby?

Ji Guoyi replied with a smile: "What happens if you use a Chevrolet to hit a wall?" Now the Clippers have two iron walls made of reinforced concrete. ”

Kobe Bryant's nose was crooked when he knew it, and he immediately retorted to the media close to him: "I'm Chevrolet? It's hilarious, it's obvious to me if it's a Lamborghini, or a limited edition. ”

After learning about it, Ji Guoyi said to reporters: "No, he's just a Chevrolet." ”

The pre-match rhetoric between players on both sides added a lot of heat to the upcoming game, but unfortunately the game was not broadcast live in the United States, and although ESPN and TNT will be broadcast live, it is still not broadcast in the United States.

On February 24th, the city-wide Los Angeles derby is about to begin, and this game is the most watched game in the United States today, Twins + Billups + Beast vs Kobe + Gasol + Lama.

Before the game, the media predicted that the two teams would win or lose 46 times, the strength of the two teams was not far apart, the Clippers are now more vigorous, and the Lakers are not without the power to fight back.

Taylor. Swift happened to be back in his hometown, Twilight Girl was filming, and there was only Emma on the scene today. Roberts was once again pulled over by his aunt to watch the derby.

Nicholson, the Lakers' number one fan, blasted the two brothers before the game, claiming that Staples Court will always belong to the Lakers; The City of Angels also belongs to the Lakers forever; The Clippers have to learn to be low-key here, and the two Chinese boys have to learn to be humble.

Soon, a reporter asked the old actor if the twins joined the Lakers, would they support them?

Nicholson bluntly stated: "I'm a Lakers fan, I only support the Lakers!" Even if Kobe Bryant goes to the Clippers, I won't go to the Clippers game. So they come to the Lakers one day, and I'm going to support any Lakers player who is great on the court. ”

Kobe Bryant's heart was very twisted when he heard this, you spray those two stinky boys, why did you bring me in? What does this have to do with me?

"Also, why should I go to the Clippers?"

In the home team's locker room, the elder Dunleavy repeatedly emphasized to the players: "Protect rebounds, reduce turnovers, keep an eye on your opponents, and use bag clips on the inside!" ”

The Clippers don't plan to use joint defense today, and Billups can't adapt to the Clippers' defensive system for the time being, and it will take him a while to adjust and adapt, so during this time, the Clippers will spend less time playing joint defense.

To deal with the Lakers today, the first thing is to protect the rebounds, and the second is to control your own mistakes, play steadily, and try to use the opponent's mistakes to score on the premise of ensuring that you don't make mistakes. As long as the team does this, victory is within reach.

Billups's first two games were average because he didn't have enough playing time to play them, and he only played half a game against the Jazz, like the rest of the main team. Today may be the real test for him, as the derby was played in the top 10 and the Clippers fans immediately accepted him.

The task assigned by the elder Dunleavy to Billups today is mainly on the offensive end, and he has an absolute advantage over the old fish Fisher.

"Changxi, today you have to strengthen the breakthrough, that old fish is far from your opponent in terms of speed, use speed to destroy him."

Billups nodded, that's what he did against the Lakers in the Pistons, the Lakers don't have many weaknesses after the trade, but the old fish is a place that can make a big fuss on the defensive end, targeting Fisher may cause a chain reaction for the Lakers, thus overturning the Lakers in one fell swoop!

On the offensive end of the Clippers today, they mainly rely on Billups to attack or share the ball after breaking through, and then play twins, and Mr. Key is the main offensive point of the Clippers today.

The elder Dunleavy was so engrossed in arranging the tactics that no one in the entire locker room saw that Artest's feelings were not quite right.

Since Billups came to the Clippers, the beast has had even fewer words.

The game was about to start, the Clippers played first, and after the home team's entrance ceremony, the Lakers players also began to play one after another, and Ji Guoyi saw a Chevrolet driving in at a glance.

Kobe Bryant originally wanted to say two cruel words to Ji Guosha before the game, but then when he thought of the opponent's mouth cannon ability, he thought it was better to forget it, the gentleman didn't move his mouth!

Phil Jackson shook hands with the old Dunley on the sidelines before the game, the former was silent, but the latter took the initiative to smile, this comparison was immediately dwarfed by the old Dunleavy, first of all, in the aura of the head coaches on both sides, the Lakers went first.

The starting lineup sent by the Lakers: Derek. Fisher, Kobe. Bryant, Trevaux. Ariza, Ramal. Odom, Paul. Gasol.

Clippers starting lineup: Chauncey. Billups, James. Posey, Ron. Artest, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

After the All-Star break, the two brothers' fans became even more, and the stadium was full of fans wearing their jerseys.

Of course, nearly half of the purple jerseys were mixed in this game, and the Clippers and Lakers never had a home game.

In the starting lineups of both teams, the Clippers have a clear upper hand.

The Lakers' point guard shortcomings have not improved, but the Clippers have quietly replaced their shortcomings with Finals MVP, and the Lakers have a small shark scrapped, and their strength is at a disadvantage.

In the opening jump ball, Ji Guoqiu defeated the Spanish interior line who was criticized by the media for his weak style of play, the yellow big hand dialed the basketball to Posey's hand, Billups received the ball, and the second Los Angeles in-court derby began...... (To be continued......) R1292
