Chapter 451: Who's that, you go up and try
Al. Thorton is very energetic in defending Ji Guosha, he learned a lot of defensive skills in the Green Shirts with the Big Three, and he is very smart when defending Ji Guosha, not seeking blocking, only affecting the shooting vision of the dead fox, his choice is very pragmatic. But Battier should sue him, this trick is useless to Ji Guoqiu, no one knows that he has telepathy, Thorton chooses to seal his sight, the little fox just doesn't look at it, he can still shoot unaffected with Ji Guoqiu's gaze.
In the middle of the second quarter, Al. Thornton defended Ji Guosha, but the latter shot 3 of 3 and led the Clippers to force a rebound. The reason why the word "forcible" is used is because the Celtics Big Three also scored three goals during this time, but Ji Guosha relied on the help of three-point shots to give the Clippers a one-point lead.
"Your expression is very strict, to be honest, you can't be delusional to prevent me, right? You should know that I'm a double MVP. By the way, I forgot that you weren't selected as an All-Star - it's pathetic! "Ji Guo's words made Al. Thorton was furious, clenched his fists, and was eager to step forward and punch the nose of the dead fox on the other side.
Rivers shook his head, Thorton's defense can't be said to be inadequate, but it just let Ji Guosha play better, which is a counterattack that many stars will make when they encounter high-intensity defense, and the Celtics coach obviously regards Ji Guoyi as such a player.
Ji Guozhi felt explosive in the second half of the second quarter, and finally made the Celtics unable to parry 4 of 4 shots, who hit three shots in a row after hitting three shots, and the Clippers took the opportunity to open up a five-point gap.
Rivers called a timeout and set up a defense against Ji Guosha, and could not let this fox continue to go crazy.
After the restart of the game. Ji Guoshi is under the bag of the Celts. The feel began to fall. But Brother Panda took over the task of scoring again, and continued to catch and shoot after blocking and dismantling in the high post. After these two people attack me, the Clippers are not cold for a moment, and their scores have been increasing at an average rate.
Wave after wave of cheers in the Staples arena saw the brothers have been so good on the offensive end this season that few teams have been able to keep up with the Clippers' scoring rate, which ranks first in the league in team scoring at 109.5 points per game and is aggravating 111.8 points per 100 possessions. The efficiency value is ranked first in the league. Not only are they excellent on the offensive end, but the Clippers only concede 99.6 points per 100 rounds to rank second in the league, and they are ranked first and second in the league in terms of the number of offensive and defensive ends, and it is not difficult to explain why the Clippers are equivalent to outscoring opponents by more than 12 points per 100 rounds, which is the so-called dominance.
The Celtics concede 99.8 points per 100 possessions, and defensively they are on par with the Clippers. But on the offensive end, the Green Shirts rank 10th in the league with 104.1 points per 100 possessions. That's where the gap between the two lies.
Garnett expressed dissatisfaction, and the wolf king did not take advantage of his younger brother and elder brother today. Although he didn't suffer a loss, for him, not winning a sophomore show is a failure, at least he has to win back a city on the offensive end, and this tone can be smooth.
Ji Guoqiu's weight of 240 pounds at this time is not a big loss against Garnett, don't look at his lack of meat, but his strength is not small, and when he meets Bosh who is about the same weight, Brother Panda can completely gain the upper hand. Even if he touches 245 pounds, Aldridge, who is heavier than him, will not suffer, which is called meat in the bones. Although Garnett weighs 250 pounds, he can't eat hard anymore, and 10 pounds of weight can't form an absolute advantage, and Ji Guoqiu can completely resist by lowering his chassis.
Garnett is still older than last year, his low-post skills were not at the top at their peak, and when he met Ji Guoqiu, who was rated A- in 2k9 in his low-post defensive ability, he missed two consecutive shots, and the Celtics had a sign of collapse!
Rivers switched back to Perkins in the final three minutes of the first half and returned to the starting lineup. But Ji Guoqiu no longer paid attention to Perkins, and still faced Garnett, and the more than 280-pound Perkins was handed over to the fox brother to defend, anyway, the big fat has no offensive ability at all, as long as he is not allowed to unguarded slam dunk, there is no threat, this task Ji Guoqi is completely competent, and it is not difficult.
Pierce took over the team's main offensive task when Garnett was a little wolf on the offensive end. This season, fans of various teams can no longer hear the leather team call themselves the strongest small forward in the active team, and many Green Army fans secretly complain behind their backs that Pierce's big mouth ruined his character last year, and they had already won the match point, but they were stunned by the Clippers winning three games in a row and overturning, which is the end of not saving character.
Now many American fans don't know what's going on, and they have actually learned the three words "saving character" with Chinese fans, and every time before the start of the game, Clippers fans will definitely run to the enemy camp to post wildly, like what - my ship CBA, begging for a round of abuse of my ship, and begging not to hack my ship's animal brothers are big brushes
Ji Guo didn't believe this, and when he switched defenses, he provoked Pierce, and said in a weird way: "Hey, Mr. First SF, how are you going to kill us today?" ”
Pierce didn't answer, feint to shake off Ji Guo's shame, burst into the inside line to attract the front and back of the two brothers, and immediately passed the basketball to Garnett, and the wolf king caught the ball and jumped up with a hideous face and a one-arm heavy buckle!
Ji Guoqiu wanted to make up for the block, but considering the number of fouls he had, he still canceled this plan and let Garnett put on a wonderful dunk performance. There aren't many Garnetts like this this season, the Wolves began to cut back on dunks to protect his not-so-strong knees, Garnett jumped too much when he was younger, and as he got older, he slipped faster than Duncan, who was at his level.
NBA players are too violent when they are young, and after the age of 30, they inevitably worry about their knees, fearing that they will one day be overwhelmed and scrapped, and the reason they are afraid is that once a veteran is injured, he will never recover.
Ji Guoyi ran to the front court stupidly on the side, and Pierce didn't bother to pay attention to him after the assist, and walked back without looking at it, indescribably chic, but he felt that he had been slapped in the face.
Pierce's assist pointed the way for Rondo, and the big C-Duo didn't break through much today, obviously leaving a shadow over the Clippers' game. Table xiàn is not confident enough. In fact, his breakthrough ability has long surpassed Pierce. That pair of big hands and reach make him no less able to protect the ball than Paul and Nash. It is completely possible to go in and out of the Clippers inside the Clippers, even if the two brothers can prevent his layup, but they can't take care of the pass, and the power of the Big Three's off-ball cutting is not small, and the Celtics can use the Clippers' tactics to treat them in the same way.
Rondo then ramped up his breakaway, and Rivers will be hoping that their lead point guard can regain his confidence in this game. After losing in the finals last year, Rondo has always looked bitter and hateful, and rarely sees him laughing, although he has not seen him a few times before.
Rivers even wanted to find a psychiatrist. Let's see if Rondo is as depressed as the Knights' Emperor, the temperament of these two looks imaginary.
The two brothers' stature is tricky for a small man like Rondo, who is both fast and flexible, and these guys are always making a fuss in the bottom three, passing the ball low and fast, and sometimes they can't stop the ball when they judge the right way, and when they bend over the basketball, they will shuttle past, but they will lose their defensive position. Even if the arm span of the two is perverted, the point guard who encounters the daring of the artist is often passed into the paint area from the front, and the opponent's interior line can easily score or make fouls once they receive the basketball.
Like this time. Garnett went down and received the basketball again, but the Wolves were taller than the two brothers. It was also a little difficult to catch this ball, and after controlling the basketball, Brother Panda had already returned to the defense.
Garnett didn't care so much, out of the corner of his eye, he found that Ji Guoqi was not around, and the wolf king immediately became strong in a one-on-one situation, causing Ji Guoqiu a defensive foul under the basket.
"I didn't foul, I hit the basketball, it's a good hat!" This is Ji Guoqiu's third foul, and the first half of the game is about to enter the last minute, and this foul is too depressing.
The referee shook his head and insisted on his decision.
The Staples arena resounded with the boos of 20,000 Clippers fans, and the big screen at the scene also repeatedly played the slow motion of Ji Guoqiu's block, this ball was indeed covered on the basketball, it was a good hat, and there was no violation of the opponent's cylinder pushing and bumping action, this foul was a typical miscalculation.
The referee is not afraid of misjudgments, David. Mr. Stern has said that "a 5 per cent miscalculation is permissible", and this time it is clearly the unlucky 5 per cent.
Celtic drew with the home team in the first half at the away whistle with a score of 55:55, which is neither low nor high.
"Damn the referee, they must be sincere in these few games and can't get along with us, we seem to have the ability to hit 70 wins, what, the league can't watch it like this?" Ji Guosha scolded the league in the locker room at halftime without any scruples, and the old Dunleavy glanced at the locker room door to see if the lock was locked.
"Whether they are sincere or not, there is only so much we can do, the whistle is in their hands, but the basketball is in our hands, as long as we throw the basketball in, they can't stop us from winning." The elder Dunleavy naturally had to cheer up the players at halftime, all coaches have encountered games in which the referee deliberately favored the opponent, and what they can do is indeed limited, but this situation is not impossible to win, and the key to winning is the star of the team.
Some stars, such as Kobe, are the most likely to explode in a game like this! The star outbreak is more effective than any whistle, so the old Dunleavy quietly played a radical trick on Ji Guozhi at halftime, hoping that this dead fox can explode on the offensive end in the second half, then there is no taboo.
In the first half, Ji Guoqiu got 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Ji Guoqiu 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Billups 5 points and 3 assists, Crawford 6 points, Afralo 6 points, Garcia 5 points, Barnes 4 points, and Dragic 4 points.
Garnett had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Pierce 12 points and 3 rebounds, Ray Allen 9 points, Rondo 4 points and 5 assists, and Al Allen. Thornton had eight points and Perkins had two points and three rebounds.
Old Dunleavy hoped that Ji Guoqi would break out in the second half, but he didn't expect that it was Ji Guoqiu who broke out first in the second half. Brother Panda didn't say it, but a fire ignited in his heart, after the All-Star Game, the referee was mainly aimed at him instead of Ji Guoyi, they all said that honest people are easy to bully, Yao Ming is a typical example, he, a pseudo-honest man who seems to be loyal, has also become a victim, the referee must choose to pick him between him and Ji Guoyi, who told him to be able to speak, not to offend people. The referee was also worried about annoying Ji Guosha, and he scolded him after the game, and then the league should beat itself up, because they were reluctant to punish the dead fox, and in the end, it might be the referee who was unlucky.
The referee's idea is very witty, Ji Guozhi really doesn't care so much, the referee dares to be too much to him, he dares to scold the referee for collecting black gold after the game. Anyway, he knew that as long as he didn't make too much trouble, David. Stern was fined money every time, and he didn't know how good it was for him. And now that all this money is from Sterling, he is even more unscrupulous, and it is not his own money that is punished anyway, so he will be punished casually.
As soon as Ji Guoqiu came up in the second half, he attacked Perkins in the low post, turned around with a beautiful back and scored a basketball backhand, and also made the Celtics' big fat push and foul. The latter couldn't keep up with him, and could only rely on unclean hand movements to block it, but it was still useless.
Perkins also fouled three times this time, and the panda brother's performance was not over, and a minute later he feigned from outside the three-point line, deceived Perkins into three free throws, and by the way, knocked his opponent down first.
Ji Guoqiu hit all three free throws and scored 5 points in just two minutes.
Celtic Ray. Allen stepped up in the third quarter, and Pierce and Rondo took turns to break through to Ray. Allen had a couple of out-of-line opportunities, and Killer Ray seized those opportunities to convert his teammate's passes into assists.
Afralo is on the defensive end, and today has not been able to keep up with the smarter Ray Allen, players who are good at defending with their heads are not necessarily afraid of stars with outstanding athletic ability, they are likely to be more afraid of players who are smarter than themselves, because they are used to defending with their brains, and they will definitely not be able to adapt to an opponent who is more cunning than themselves all of a sudden. It's hard to tell why, but sometimes the defense thunders. A player like Allen gets an extreme result, either he defends well or he is thundered. Aaron had numerous runs and Afflaro clearly fell into the latter today.
Section 3, Ji Guoqiu and Lei. Aaron, you one, me one, both coaches are trying to limit the opponent, but it doesn't seem to have much effect. The elder Dunleavy felt that he couldn't let Ray Allen go on unscrupulously, but considering Crawford's unreliable defense, he glanced at the bench and ruthlessly dismissed Deng Tai, who was in charge of guarding the water cooler. Jones switched up.
The elder Dunleavy didn't know that the base-salary player he signed would also be a defensive titan in the future time and space, and he had the biggest killer on the defensive end - the "black foot" skill. (To be continued......)
