Chapter 69: Hitchhiking
Ji Guoqiu walked back and forth aimlessly on the field before the game, unable to make up his mind, and originally wanted to say hello to his neighbor, but when he thought of the embarrassment of that day, he finally hesitated for a long time, and was still embarrassed to walk over.
Today's jump opponent is Joakim Noah, a high-potential center who will develop into an All-Star center in the future, and the two have a lot of similarities, such as strong high-low and high post playmaking, full of body, and fast movement.
Noah, who has just entered the league, weighs only 215 pounds, and he gives the impression of only one word, and that is Die!
Ji Guoqiu weighs 233 pounds and is still growing. This weight is considered normal on the rookie inside, and Duncan, Nowitzki, Gasol and others are almost all at this weight when they first enter the league. However, Noah's weight is too low, the tonnage is not enough, the confrontation is poor, and the interior players will always suffer a lot if they lack strength on the court.
On the jump ball, Ji Guoqiu met his opponent this time, and the vertical bounce measured by Noah during the draft was 32.5 inches, that is, 82cm, which is similar to the current Ji Guoqiu.
The referee tossed the basketball and both jumped at the same time.
Ji Guoqiu's advantage in the speed of the bullet is not obvious, the two of them have similar bounce height and speed, but the arm span and palm length Ji Guoqiu has a great advantage, these two key attributes allow him to defeat his opponent on the jump ball.
Today, the Clippers only have Ji Guoqiu alone on the inside, and his partner is Tim Thomas, who is partnered with this guy who doesn't defend, and he is destined to do the work of two people alone. And the damn Ji Guoshame didn't even come to watch the game on the spot, so he didn't even have a cheating sight, which made his game even more difficult.
From the very beginning of the game, the scores of the two teams have been deadlocked.
Ji Guoqiu still often responds in high positions, but the number of assists has dropped a lot compared to the past. Now he's getting about five assists per game, and the center has that number that's enough to scare the NBA experts. However, after careful analysis, half of his assists are passed to Ji Guoyi, and if this cheating factor is removed, his assists are only about three per game, which is much normal.
The Bulls' Noah is still starting for the first time today, although he is the No. 9 pick this year, and the draft ranking is much higher than Ji Guoqiu, but almost ten games have passed, and the status of the two has already quietly changed.
The two brothers have gradually become the leaders of this year's rookies by virtue of their excellent performances, and they are no longer comparable to his substitute center who averages less than 20 minutes per game. If it weren't for Ben Wallace's injury, Noah would still be just a backup center.
And the same is true on the court, Ji Guoqiu, who is a man in two lives, is much stronger than rookie Noah in all aspects, and his comprehensive physique is also better than the other party, even if he is alone on the field, he can still suppress the opponent.
Artest became the key to breaking the formation today, Luo Er Deng is 206cm tall and weighs only 220 pounds, he is a tall, skinny man, agile and speed dominates, and he is very good at athleticism. But once it fell into a positional battle, Artest used his big ass and muscles to throw and chisel, completely blowing up the new core of the bull.
With a score of 45-42 in the first half, the Clippers' players were more experienced, dragging the pace to turn the game into a meat grinder, and ended the first half with a three-point lead from home court advantage.
Ji Guoqiu supported the basket alone, with 5 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, Artest 12 points, Mobley 8 points, Thomas 7 points, and Posey 6 points.
Noah was defended by Ji Guoqiu with 2 points and 3 rebounds in the first half, and the two singled out Ji Guoqiu with an absolute advantage.
Old Dunleavy nodded secretly, Ji Guoqiu's performance in the first half did decline compared to when the two brothers were present at the same time, but it was still much better than most rookies this year, the big man of the Bulls looked good, but he was most afraid of comparing goods, and he was immediately dwarfed when he met Ji Guoqiu Noah.
"Your neighbor played well, and my aunt has seen a lot of Lakers games, and he's a lot better than the big guy on the Lakers." Big Carrot has seen a lot of Lakers games at Staples Arena and is familiar with Bynum.
"I don't like to watch basketball, and today is the first time I've seen him play, but he's jumping so high." Little Radish sat with her aunt today to take up a lot of light, and the big screen gave her the camera several times.

"I've seen everything just now, are you two still planning to go to the police station?"
Ji Guoyi watched from the side for a long time, figured out what was going on, stepped forward, put the two bottles of juice on the cashier with a "plop", and immediately stopped talking when he saw a man and a woman, and then said: "Check out, cherish your work, and settle those so-called thieves together." ”
The cashier guy glanced at the freckled girl, and then looked at the tall body of this Asian, so he could only reluctantly settle the bill for Ji Guosha, and never dared to mention stealing things again.
"Thank you, I'll settle the bill." The mask girl hurriedly rushed to pay, opened her wallet, and Ji Guoyan saw at least a dozen "Franklin" in it at a glance, no wonder she was pitted.
"No thanks, then you're welcome, you go first, I'll take these things." Ji Guoyi looked at the so-called thieves on the cashier, and said cheekily.
The mask girl didn't care at all, although there was a mask and sunglasses to block her face, Ji Guoyi saw that she should be smiling, and then said a few words of thanks to Ji Guozhi again and again, and then left the convenience store.
Ji Guoyan ignored the two thieves and thieves, he saw that the money paid by the mask girl seemed to be far more than these thieves, and he felt that he had lost it, so he pulled a lot of snacks nearby, and then he was satisfied and went out of the door with a bunch of things.
"They don't seem to be paying enough, should we call the police?"
The cashier guy watched the tall Ji Guoyan leave with a lot of things, and then looked at the 20 dollars on the cash register, and wanted to cry without tears, and said pitifully.
Ji Guoyi left the convenience store and walked to the side of the street to stop a taxi to go home.
His car was still parked downstairs in Taylor Swift and didn't have time to drive away when he was taken away by the police, damn the Lakers cops!
"Hey, big man. Where are you going? I'll drive you. ”
Ji Guoyan was cursing this police station with a vicious curse, when someone blew up one day, suddenly a minicoopers drove in front of him, and when he looked at it, the window rolled down, and Twilight Girl appeared in front of him.
"So it was you just now? You're not acting ......"
Ji Guoyi said and stopped abruptly, because he remembered that Twilight was a 2008 movie, and it has not yet been filmed. This Hollywood post-90s star who has a lot of rumors about splitting her legs is not really famous, she is just a child star who has just grown up, and there are not too many memorable movie works, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a third-rate starlet.
"I guess you forgot what my name was, and you can't remember what movies I've acted in, but you just have an impression of me, right?" Christine could see it, and she complained to herself first.
"Almost, my name is Ji Guoyi, you can call me fox."
"My name is Kristen Stewart, you can just call me by my name. How about it, do you want to hitchhike? ”
Ji Guoyi doesn't have a good impression of her, no male will like the female star who always spreads the scandal of splitting her legs, and even if he does, he simply likes her appearance and covets to sleep with her.
"Why don't you take the hitchhiker, but your car is a little smaller, I'm worried that I won't be able to sit down."
"No problem, just come up, you just helped me a lot, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Ji Guo got into the car and almost hit the roof of the car with his head. This car is driven by a girl, and he is really embarrassed to sit in it with a 210cm big man.
"You're so tall, where are you going?"
When Ji Guo heard this, he asked Christine to drive her downstairs to Taylor Swift, where his car was still parked.
"Do you play basketball?"
"That's right, I'm the best star of the Los Angeles Clippers."
Hearing this, Christine smiled and said, "Don't brag, big stars don't go to competitions, do you wander the streets alone?" ”
"I'm banned for one game, aren't you the same?"
"I went to the police station to do some paperwork and went out to the convenience store to buy some things, but I was recognized by those two despicable guys. I think they know that I am afraid of news scribbling, and they must not dare to call the police, thanks to you today, otherwise I don't know how much money they will extort? ”
"It's a little meaning, anyone who touches it will help you."
Christine smiled lightly, took out her mobile phone and handed it to Ji Guoyan: "Enter your phone number, you are a basketball star, I am a little star, everyone is a star, come out for coffee another day." ”
Ji Guozhi was not hypocritical, he took it and entered his phone in, and used this mobile phone to make a call to himself, and then returned the mobile phone.
"By the way, how many games have you been banned? I live in Los Angeles and have time to watch one of your games. ”
"It's only a ban for one game, the next game is on November 22, which is three days later, if you want to come and watch the game, you call me before you enter the stadium, and I will give you a ticket, a seat in the front row."
Kristen was delighted: "Great, I haven't sat in the front row at Staples yet. You know, a starlet like me simply can't buy and can't afford a front-row ticket. ”
Ji Guo didn't believe it, and joked: "I can't buy it, I believe it, it's strange if you can't afford it, I see your wallet bulging." ”
