The first quarter of the game officially developed into a direct battle between the two teams, and the victory or defeat depends on who is more efficient, Ji Guoyi or Durant.

"Kevin, do you know why the Thunder always can't beat the Clippers?" Ji Guoyi smiled at Durant, in the latter's opinion, this smile was very sinister, and of course Durant would not answer.

Seeing that Durant didn't respond, Ji Guoyi said with a smile: "Because you have never been my opponent, that's what I said to the media before the game, and now I plan to do the same." ”

Dead Fox's words are too damning, but for Durant, these words are the cruelest truth in the world. The moment the scar was exposed, a loud "boom" sounded in Durant's head, Ji Guoyan's words were exactly what he didn't want to hear and was most afraid of others mentioning.

Ji Guoyi took advantage of Durant's distraction, easily broke through to the basket with an acceleration, and a two-handed dunk turned the Clippers' lead into 12 points.

These two superstars with similar height and arm span are both rookies in 07, except for Durant's victory over the fox brother in the draft, in the next three years, whether it is the regular season, the playoffs, or the All-Star Game, all of Durant's honors were taken away by Ji Guosha. All the confrontations between the two of them both frontal or indirect ended in the victory of Ji Guosha.

That's why Barkley said that the only way for Durant to overtake Fox was to kill him, because the poor guy never won.

The Thunder fell behind by a big score, and Ji Guoyi used his heart-wrenching words again, which suddenly made Durant's mentality unbalanced. A small bag at the moment. My brain is already hot. All the thoughts in my heart are to defeat Ji Guosha to prove myself. But the more he wanted to defeat Ji Guoyi, the more he couldn't break through Ji Guoyi's defense.

The elder Dunleavy saw that Durant broke into the middle distance twice in a row, and he couldn't stand up to Ji Guo's shame, so he could only choose to forcibly pull up the shot and miss, and immediately replaced Iguodala to strengthen the team's defensive ability again. It just so happened that the Thunder also replaced Harden, and the Clippers made the right substitution this time.

After Harden played, he actually played the role of point guard. However, Wei Shao's performance today is not bad, and he is not hot-headed yet, so it is still Westbrook who controls the ball at this time.

Durant missed two consecutive shots at the cost of the Clippers widening the gap to 14 points. Little Jordan, who had just come on the court, received an aerial relay and completed a violent dunk, and it was Ji Guoshame who passed the ball for him.

"You don't have to be frustrated, I only got two points."

Ji Guoyi's words are too inauthentic, he only scored two points, but his assists have increased to 5, which is a new record for assists in a single quarter he has set.

Durant was stimulated again. On the offensive end, he didn't wait for the position to wave to Westbrook for the ball. However, this time Wei Shao stopped passing the ball to him, and Durant has only shot 1-of-6 so far. At this time, passing the ball to him again is no longer to help him, but to harm him.

Brooks soon got Jeff. Green is ready to play, intending to replace Durant, who is inaccurate, and it is really not appropriate for him to stay on the court at this time.

At 4:55 in the first quarter, Jeff. Green replaces Kevin. Durant, this substitution is much earlier than in the past, Durant averaged more than 40 minutes per game last season, and he usually plays the first quarter, but today he was replaced early.

The elder Dunleavy may have really been given a lot of intelligence points by the three champions, and when he saw this, he quickly replaced Ji Guoyi and replaced him: Dragic, Maddy, Iguodala, Joel. The lineup of Anthony and Jordan Jr.

After the game restarted, the 31-year-old Maddie faced off against the 21-year-old Harden.

Seeing such a duel, Ji Guoyi couldn't help but laugh on the bench. Others don't know, but he knows that these two people still have some origins, but that's all for later, the current Harden is not the cornerstone of the Rockets, and he has not learned to look defensive, let alone have a beard like bin Laden.

Maddy took over the game after coming on the court, and in the Clippers' bench lineup, in addition to him, only Dragic has organizational ability, but the tactical initiator of the Clippers' bench period is Maddy, which is the right given to him by Dunleavy Sr.

Harden's style of play is somewhat similar to that of young Maddie, and the growth trajectory of the two is even more similar.

A few years later, many fans believe that Harden is completely re-following the path of Maddy, and the trajectories of the two in the first four years are strikingly similar, both of them have grown from the bench to the indispensable figure of the team, but they are both suppressed by the original core of the team, and finally become superstars in other teams.

It's a pity that Harden was not the protagonist of the Thunder team in the bench today, Westbrook is still on the court, and the ball has always been in the hands of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Secondly, Jeff. Green's status is also higher than Harden's at the moment, and he has no bearded future beard, and he can't touch basketball a few times after he gets on the court.

At the end of the first quarter, everyone saw the difference between Maddy's holding the ball and Westbrook's holding the ball, Maddy, who had lost his superhuman athleticism, now played more reasonably, he contributed 3 assists in the last five minutes of the first quarter, although he didn't score a point, but he sorted the team in order.

The Thunder are the opposite, and when Westbrook gets the basket, his only thought is to hit the basket. If the opposing team has a lot of people under the basket, he will use the pull-up shot he practiced in the summer to end the offense near the free throw line. It's a pity that Wei Shao's shooting selection is extremely poor, most of the shots not only did not get rid of the defense, but also leaned forward, extremely ugly, such a shot can be hit, this is the hell.

With a score of 34:16, the Clippers limited the Thunder's scoring to a pitiful 16 points in the first quarter, leading the menacing Thunder by a large score.

The Thunder came to Staples today with a shameful mindset, but the game was completely beaten from the start, and they had the impression that there was nothing impressive in the first quarter of the game except for the "bang-bang" iron.

On the big screen at the scene, the wonderful footage of the first quarter was being played, but most of them were highlights of the Thunder's mistakes, such as the one being played - Westbrook dribbled to the front court alone, and directly accelerated in the face of Dragic's defense, but was blocked outside the box by Jordan Jr. and Iguodala.

Westbrook immediately made a sharp stop at the free-throw line and threw his ugly forward shot in front of two defenders. Naturally, the result was a mismatch. But the basketball smashed behind the front of the basket. Wei Shao reacted quickly. Step forward and hold the ball in your hand.

Westbrook's physical fitness is not to be said, but it's a pity that his mind is really clumsy, after grabbing the rebound, he staggered and tried to pass the ball out, but was unexpectedly cut directly by Dragic, and Wei Shao, who fell to the ground, looked embarrassed and patted the floor angrily.

There are many similar scenes today, basically starring Durant and Westbrook, these two performed today. It is estimated that it has been a long time since fans who hate the Thunder.

In the first quarter, Ji Guoqiu scored 2 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and his performance was more panda than Ji Guoqiu. The rest of the Clippers players, O'Neal had 9 points and 2 rebounds, and Ray had 9 points and 2 rebounds. Allen had 8 points, Billups had 3 points and 2 assists, Iguodala had 4 points, Jordan Jr. had 4 points and 2 rebounds, Dragic had 3 points, and Maddie had 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

For the Thunder, Westbrook had 6 points and 2 rebounds, and Sefrosa had 3 points. Harden 3 points, Durant 2 points. Ibaka 2 points.

In the second quarter, Ji Guoyi and Durant returned to the court.

The Clippers lineup became: Dragic, Ray. Allen, Hill, Ji Guoyi, Jordan Jr.

Thunder lineup: Meno, Harden, Durant, Green, Chandler.

After Ji Guoyi came on the court, he quickly assisted the old Hill to score from the middle distance, he was still not in a hurry to cut the score, today Ji Guoyi felt that he could challenge the career assist record, his teammates are in good shape, as long as he passes the ball to his teammates who have a chance to shoot, it is easy to get an assist.

Durant also calmed down at the moment, he knew that with his own strength, it would be difficult to break through the fox brother who was almost the same as his athleticism, but his strength was one level stronger than himself. The only way to score is to use the off-ball cover of your teammates and look for open shots.

Hill became a shortcoming on the defensive end of the Clippers at this time, the 38-year-old Hill really couldn't keep up with Durant's pace, and Ji Guosha couldn't let Green go to help him defend, and Durant began to resurrect in the second quarter.

At the Clippers' No. 3 position, Iguodala is actually only available this season, and Hill's shortcomings on the defensive end at this time make it difficult for him to help the Clippers win big games.

At 9 minutes and 40 seconds in the second quarter, the elder Dunleavy made adjustments, the elder Hill was replaced, and Ji Guoyi was moved to the No. 3 position. Anthony was substituted again to defend the interior.

Durant's off-ball running is very threatening, as long as he adjusts his mentality, Ji Guozhi can only interfere with his shooting rate as much as possible, and cannot completely limit it, Durant actually has superstar strength.

The Clippers have a lineup, and the interior defense is still very good. Anthony has good mobility on the defensive end, strength on the individual defense, and good motivation, but when he starts, he is too poor on the offensive end, and when he comes off the bench, he is a great role player.

Harden finally played the role of the team's organizational core in the Thunder's lineup. I have to say that when this future bearded man is on the floor, the Thunder's offense is much smoother than when Westbrook is there, at least he won't stop and pull out without a brain.

Wei Shao knew that the opponent was waiting for him in the penalty area in the first quarter, but he still rushed in with his head bored, and he had to break through the south wall. He seems to be playing with anger and stubbornness all the time, and although such a player is very domineering when he plays in form, most of the time he will be hit by the wall of the strong team.

In the second quarter, the two teams formed a see-saw, and the combination of Harden, Durant, and Green played until the last five minutes before being separated by Brooks, who did not have the courage to press Westbrook to the bench for the entire quarter.

At 5:05 in the second quarter, the Thunder finally replaced Harden and replaced Westbrook.

With a score of 51:36, although the Thunder narrowed the gap behind, the Clippers were very solid on the offensive end, and the Thunder still trailed by 15 points.

In the second quarter, after Iguodala returned to the court, the Clippers returned to the regular lineup, and Ji Guoyi returned to the No. 4 position.

Chandler was beaten too hard by O'Neal in the first quarter, and after playing for a few minutes in the second quarter, he was fouled by Ji Guo again, and he had already committed three offsets. After the Thunder's interior line is missing Chandler, Ji Guosha can no longer be restricted, and the little fox can enter the interior to attack again, and there is no need to pull down the outside line to temporarily avoid the edge.

Iguodala's effectiveness in defending Durant is not inferior to Ji Guosha, and the Clippers have brought in a brother this season to deal with direct opponents like Kobe, Durant and James. After the giant panda leaves, he can't always let Ji Guosha defend these guys, so that the fox brother will be affected on the offensive end. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The first half ended. The Clippers relied on excellent defense and a steady offense. Firmly suppressing the thunder that has always wanted to launch a counterattack.

The Clippers' ability to control the game shows their true roots, the defending champions are too stable, and once the Thunder fall behind, they will always be stuck in the quagmire and unable to get out. The Clippers are much more nuanced than the Thunder in all sorts of small details, making few mistakes on both ends of the floor and playing smartly. Clippers fans may not be able to understand much of the deeper stuff, but they can clearly feel that such a game looks comfortable. This is actually a very high level.

The Thunder's game, it doesn't seem to have this feeling at all, it can only make people feel that they have a fast pace, a strong style of play, a lot of defensive intensity, a lot of blocks and steals, and then think about it carefully, isn't this the way Westbrook plays?

A point guard who is not the core of the team actually established the style of this team, in addition to saying that the coach is stupid. It can only be said that Durant is not tough enough. He's the real core of the team who can't fully imprint his own style, and that's not competent.

That may be unfair to Durant. The Thunder still has some of his imprints, Westbrook is blind for a few shots, Durant is blind for a few shots, and the two together are blind for a few shots!

The halftime score was 62:50, and Wei Shao made a super ugly stop-and-go shot before halftime, and finally narrowed the gap to 12 points.

At halftime, the Thunder did not come up with a strategy to turn the situation around, and Coach Brooks instructed the team to be more active on the defensive end and more active on the offensive end, but not to foul too much. Such a demand is the same as the political commissar of our army, "we must not only fight fiercely, but also save bullets."

O'Neal quickly used his ass to sit Chandler into a quadruple in the third quarter, and today the boxing champion met the kind of opponent he least wanted to face, O'Neal's dead fat man's ass was too big!

Ji Guoyi still tends to assist his teammates in the second half, in the first half he got 6 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, breaking his own half-court assist record, and in the second half his goal is to break his own single-game record of 11 assists, which does not seem to be difficult.

However, without Chandler's Thunder, Ji Guoyi needs to get into the interior more to make kills, rather than brush assists.

He'd better finish off Ibaka too, this guy has two fouls too.

Halfway through the third quarter, Ji Guozhi really got Ibaka, who was not very good at his brain, down, and this game was really smooth enough for the Clippers.

The Thunder's two interior lines seem to have no flaws at first glance, but in fact, the Clippers don't need to compete with them for athleticism, as long as they find an interior line who is good at low-post back-to-back offense, the flaws in the strength of these two will appear.

When Ji Guoyi played the No. 4 position today, Ibaka was responsible for defending him.

This Spaniard is very, very athletic, with an amazing arm span and aggressiveness, but in terms of strength, he is not as good as Ji Guosha.

Playing basketball is not about using your strongest point to kill your opponent, but about attacking your opponent's weakest link until you hit the!

In the third quarter, Ji Guoyi kept using his low-post back-to-back offense on the inside to deal with Ibaka, and unlike the Pandas, who mainly used hook hands, Ji Guozhen chose more rollover jumpers with a little back. This move, combined with his height and reach, is simply impossible to block, and Ji's turnaround jumper in the two low posts this year is very accurate, enough to kill a good defender like Ibaka.

On the NBA stage, generally speaking, you have to have excellent back-to-back skills to be considered a true superstar. Unless you have the perverted faceframe ability of James, or the perverted projection ability of Ji Guoyi and Durant. But even so, the lack of back-to-back ability will still be criticized by many experts and fans, and James' lack of a championship ring is proof of them.

Ji Guozhi has a ring, that's because Brother Panda has a back, and the two of them can complement each other. But now he is the only one left, if he has no back-to-back ability in the low post, and only relies on the face frame to carry the ball and attack, he will not be able to sing when he encounters a combination like Ibaka and Chandler.

If Chandler didn't encounter foul problems, if the Thunder went around to deal with O'Neal at the beginning, Ji Guoyi would need to use the score to drive the team, then it was easy to be blocked by the Thunder's two interior lines only by relying on a frontal breakthrough.

But if Ji Guoyi can use his back to stabilize the output in the low position, everything will be much easier.

The Thunder is not packed, Ji Guoyi has been outputting in the low post, and once he is packed, Ji Guoyi can create empty shooting opportunities for outside players.

This kind of tactic is king, and it is where the real seven inches of the Thunder are.

The Thunder's two top blue-collar workers are both athletic long-winders who are good at helping to defend and fill in leaks, which is why the Thunder recruited Perkins with a high salary in the original time and space, they must have someone who can resist the opponent in the low post.

In the middle of the third quarter, Ji Guoyi turned around and scored three times in a row in the low post, and Ibaka chose to block early for the fourth time, but was shaken by Ji Guoyi's feints, allowing the latter to easily cause a third foul. Then, Ji Guoyi used his footsteps in a low position to try to shake up Ibaka, but the latter learned a lesson and was no longer fooled.

Ji Guoyi immediately faked the show, turned around and broke through, deliberately made physical contact with Ibaka under the basket, and made the opponent's fourth foul, playing two plus one.

“TooyoungToosimple！”

After Ji Guosha made two plus one, he immediately made a mockery in front of Ibaka, such a shameless move immediately provoked the anger of the already hot Spaniards!

"Toot!" The referee's sharp whistle sounded, but it was not Ji Guosha, who blew the penalty.

The enraged Ibaka stepped forward to reason with Ji Guosha, he didn't make a move, but he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ji Guosha.

Such a move is completely unnecessary, and it is easy for the referee to mistake you for a move.

So if you want to reason with your opponent, you must put your hand down, and as soon as you raise your hand, it will definitely be a technical foul, whether you move it or not.

"It's really TooyoungToosimple!" Ji Guozhi saw that the referee made up another technical foul for Ibaka, and couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart You are theorizing with me, I am clearly trying to provoke you, you either talk trash with me, or simply beat me up, who is theorizing with you, it is better to protest directly.
