In the third quarter, the old captain once again became the surprise player of the Clippers' breakdown, and Brand singled in two low posts in quick succession, causing sustained damage to the Celtics. In the past games of the Clippers, players like Brand had to be in the low post, but now the Celtics can't do that.

Ji Guoqiu responded in the middle distance, pulling the Celtics' defensive strength, and Artest played the team's No. 2 low-post finisher in the low post on the other side, also to help the old captain open up space one-on-one.

The Celtics' big fat and second fat met Brand alone, and they could only send their heads for nothing, and they couldn't pose much of a threat to the old captain. In the face of the big fat, Brand can use his feet to turn around and break through; Dealing with the second fat, directly using the height and arm span to turn around and hook the hand to eat, the old captain killed in the low position in the third quarter!

Coach Rivers later simply used Garnett to defend, which could have had an impact on Brand, but as soon as the Wolves left the middle, the rest of the Clippers began to frequently cut around Ji Guoqiu in this area, and the Celtics were still passive.

Old Dunleavy looked at the chemistry on the field, and finally hesitated a little, Brand is so easy to use, do you want to use it for the last season first?

However, this idea was quickly thrown out of the mind of the old Dunleavy, first of all, Brand will not be willing to play as a substitute, people are in a good mood, it does not mean that they can be bullied like this, they are obviously All-Star strength, but they want to play as a substitute for rookies, this is bullying; Moreover, the elder Dunleavy is still worried that next season Brand will grow wings and fly away, and there will be no chicken and egg to beat a single hair.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 68:65, and the Celtics still trailed by 3 points.

The Clippers' Ji Guoqiu had 11 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. Brand had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Artest had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

For the Celtics, Garnett had 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Pierce 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Ray Allen 14 points and 2 assists, Rondo 7 points and 5 assists, and Al Arnett. Thornton had 7 points and 2 rebounds.

Charles. Barkley looked at the table during the timeout, and was amazed, and praised: "Brother Panda is a very good frontcourt offensive rebounder, his calculation of time, projected landing point and physical confrontation ability are all league-first, and he has 4 frontcourt rebounds out of 9 rebounds, I want to say it's incredible!" ”

Kenny. Smith nodded: "It's really remarkable, once a seven-foot-tall guy grabs a frontcourt rebound, we all know what will happen next." On top of that, he has some of the best playmaking and passing ability in the league, and I think he's going to be the new triple-double monster in the league. ”

Charles. Barkley laughed: "That's right, he has an innate advantage, scoring rebounds in double digits, which is not difficult for Panda Brother to do, so as long as he can deliver 10 assists, he is basically guaranteed to get a triple-double." The last time I saw such an advantageous guy was Elwin. Johnson, that guy can almost get a triple-double with just 10 rebounds. But Brother Panda is undoubtedly the more advantageous, he has already had four triple-doubles, and I think he can get 10 this season. ”

Kenny. Smith immediately said: "I think it's 8 times, let's make a bet, more than 8 times even if I lose?" ”

Charles. Barkley, of course, was not afraid, and immediately agreed: "Okay, if we lose, we will go to the zoo and kiss the giant panda's butt." ”

Kenny. Smith suddenly had a bad feeling that this bet was a rather stupid decision!

"This ...... Doesn't this one work? ”

“……”

In the fourth quarter, the elder Dunleavy put all the twin brothers and Brand off the court, and Rivers on the opposite side could guess with his ass that this was to change the rhythm of the three of them on the court together in the decisive stage and play three inside?

In the fourth quarter of the Clippers, the Clippers came in: Black Parker, Mobley, Garcia, Thomas, Paul. Davis's combination, in fact, this lineup is not bad, at least the offensive ability is good. After the old captain returned, the Clippers' roster depth was among the best in the league for a while.

Some Clippers fans saw the live footage of Elton who was sitting on the bench and bowing his head to communicate with his twin brothers. Brand couldn't help but muttered secretly, I don't know if they are considered to form the Big Three like this? After all, the twins are genuine, freshly baked all-star starters, you don't care if he swiped the ticket or not, anyway, now they do have an all-star and two all-star starters at the peak, so it's a bomb to think about!

The Clippers switched back to man-to-man defense off the bench. Thorton once again showed his might, the No. 14 rookie's breakthrough ability is really good, and now his shortcoming is that his projection ability is too poor, and once the opponent shrinks the inside, he has no threat. But in a specific period of time, Al. Thornton can play very well and contribute a lot of great goals.

Dunleavy Sr. signaled the team's inside to shrink the bag off the court, and the Celtics' bench lineup: Eddie. House, Tony. Aaron, Al. Thorton, Glenn. Davis, Brian. Scala Brien. Of their three outside players, except for Eddie. House has excellent shooting ability, and the other two have no three-point shooting ability.

Black Parker close-quarters defend Eddie. House, the rest of the Clippers retreated to the restricted area to defend, and the Celtics missed one after another from the outside, and in less than three minutes, the margin had been extended to five points.

At 9 minutes and 15 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Celtics took the lead in replacing Ray. Allen and Pierce, all three of the Celtics' backcourt have ranged attacking capabilities.

Dunleavy Sr., who swapped the twins for a dead ball half a minute later, is no longer cautious about using the two brothers, who have averaged nearly 36 minutes per game in January, longer than most of the league's starting interior players.

Two minutes into the game, at 7:10 of the fourth quarter, Dunleavy Sr. and Rivers were replaced by Elton. Brand and Kevin. Garnett, the main force of the two teams is exhausted, and it enters the decisive stage.

Clippers lineup: Mobley, Ron. Artest, Ji Guoyi, Elton. Brand, Ji Guoqiu.

Celtic lineup: Eddie. House, Ray. Aaron, Paul. Pierce, Kevin. Garnett, Perkins.

The Clippers' lineup can be regarded as wonderful, the old Dunleavy sent such a strange formation, there is no serious point guard, no serious small forward, no one knows what is clever in this?

Old Dunleavy secretly said in his heart: "This is a fart cleverness, this is the personal ability of the players, open up and let the players on the court take turns to play singles." The Panda Hero is in the center of control, and the Clippers rely on a strategy-type interior line like Ji Guoqiu, and the requirements for point guards are relatively low, and it is dead to change the team's style of play. ”

The score was 77-73, and the Clippers led by four points.

Celtics attack, Kevin. Garnett receives the ball in the low post.

The Clippers team has the old captain on the court, and they don't play joint defense, and they are still the inside line wrapping tactics, and Ji Guoyi is on this side, and he immediately wraps the wolf king with the old captain.

Garnett didn't dare to come hard, Brand in the back was his old opponent, and it was already difficult to deal with it alone, if it was a group fight? Well, the wolf king is not so stupid, and he calculated the right time to pass the basketball to Pierce, who was let go by Ji Guosha on the outside.

Ji Guoyi's long arms subconsciously fished out, and his fingers touched the basketball, changing the trajectory of the basketball's flight.

Pierce was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the ball, and immediately grabbed it with Ji Guoyi......

"Toot!"

The referee blows the whistle and makes a scrum gesture.

When Ji Guoyi heard the whistle and saw that it was a scrum, he immediately high-fived each other with his teammates to celebrate!

If he wants him to compete with Pierce for the ball, Ji Guozhi is confident to win, not to mention that the other party is 30 years old, even if the peak Pierce is more than bounced, he is not afraid, and the height gap between the two is there.

The Celtics are not so optimistic, the height difference between Pierce and Ji Guoyi is 10cm, and the two twins are known for their ability to jump, and the results can be imagined.

The two stood at the free throw line under the Clippers' basket, and when the referee blew a whistle, Ji Guoqi bounced high like a spring, and dialed the basketball to his brother Ji Guoqiu.

Ji Guoqiu handed the basketball to Mobley, and the old cat advanced with the ball.

Eddie. House pressed the whole court and planned to break the ball, but Mobley's dribbling ability was barely passable, and he couldn't compare with a regular point guard. Artest is not far away, and the old Dunleavy is worried about this, so he specially arranged for Artest to answer, and Ji Guoqiu will also help him block people at any time.

The whole team of the Clippers worked hard and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Ji Guoqiu received the ball in the high post, and Garnett stepped forward to use his long arm to interfere.

The wolf king's long arms swung and instantly blocked a large area of the passing route. Ji Guoqiu was not sure to pass the basketball to Brand in the restricted area, so he first handed the basketball to Ji Guoqi outside the three-point line on the wing, and then passed the basketball to the low post, and Brand received the basketball in the same way.

The two brothers all pulled away, and the Celtics players still didn't dare to go to the low post to trap the old captain, one of the two brothers ambushed outside the three-point line, and the other responded at the free throw line, and the danger was no lower than the old captain.

Brand shook off Perkins with his back-to-back footsteps and turned to make a low-handed layup.

Playing this goal, the old captain has already scored 20+ today, and the efficiency is so high that he has no friends.

Coach Rivers rubbed his chin on the sidelines, and the strange formation that Dunleavy Sr. put on today couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.

The next time the Celtics defended, after the basketball was passed to the low post, the Green Shirts players wrapped up Brand, and the old captain immediately passed the basketball to Ji Guozhi on the outside, and the little fox hit an empty three-point shot, and the Clippers directly scored three points.

Rivers quickly brought on Rondo and deployed Rondo, who was better defensively, to steal Mobley's dribble with all his might.

The old cat couldn't cope with it now, and the old Dunleavy had to replace Cassel again, but no matter who the Clippers' point guard was, the Celtics still couldn't take the Clippers' three big men on the inside after all.

Garnett tried to trap Brand, and Ji Guoqiu relied on his height at the free throw line to play strongly, or forced a breakthrough under the basket. Brother Panda is now more and more able to use his body, relying on solid basic skills, his breakthrough is not easy to defend, especially in the case of misplaced defense, he has a physical advantage.

In the last quarter of the Celtics, they have not come up with an effective arrangement for the Clippers' three interior lines, the Clippers have blossomed more, the point gap is getting wider and wider, and the league leader has been beaten by the Clippers' strange formation, and the defense line has been completely broken from the inside!

The final score was 94:86, and the Clippers defeated the league's top-ranked Celtics on the road by 8 points, and fans who bet on this game lost a lot tonight! Most fans didn't expect the Clippers to win the league leader on the road, which made many fans scold after the game, questioning that the game was a match-fixing game made by the gambling group for profit!

Rivers knew that this game was not match-fixing, it was completely caused by the Clippers' layout and they were too late to deal with it.

Ji Guoqiu got 14 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks in this game, Ji Guoqiu 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Brand had 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Artest had 16 points, Mobru had 10 points, and the Clippers' three interior players combined to contribute 55 points.

After this game, the various coaching staff of the Western team worked overtime again to discuss countermeasures.

Old Dunleavy has come up with a new trick, and they have to spend the night studying the video footage of the game to figure out how to deal with it. And their fellow city team, the damn Lakers, who actually snatched Gasol from the Grizzlies, have grown so much that they also need to rearrange their methods against them.

These two damn Los Angeles teams, why didn't they kill two in the big brawl at the beginning, saving them so much trouble now! R1152
