Chapter 39: Rhythm

Ji Guoqiu's low-post offense is not yet proficient, he will shoot after dribbling, and he will not rely on grinding and rubbing repeatedly like other players, which will increase his error rate, and he does not have that kind of weight. Ji Guoqiu's arm span and height allow him to jump up and shoot as long as he has a little space, and it is difficult for most defenders to cover him, the key is whether he can throw the ball in? Even he didn't have a score.

Biedrins stuck to Ji Guoqiu, who held the ball with his back to the basket, spun to the left with his left foot without moving, and then immediately jumped up and took his hand......

Ji Guoqiu thought very simply, since his height and arm span made it difficult for the other party to block one-on-one, then he didn't need to think about what feints to use to shake the other party, just use the simplest and most direct method. His low-post back-to-back offense is not as proficient as that of superstars such as Duncan and Garnett, and his feints and shakes are all advanced techniques, and he masters the simplest moves first before seeking others.

Biedrins didn't expect Ji Guoqiu's movements to be so neat, there was no feint before shooting, and after turning to the left, he jumped directly out of his hand and threw the basketball with a small hook on the outside of his arm......

"Whew"! A beautiful sound of brushing the net, and the basketball obediently fell into the net.

When Ji Guoqiu shoots, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is whether there is anyone to help defend? At this point, Ji Guoyan has already sued him with telepathy, so he can shoot without any worries without worrying about being blocked by the assistant defense player.

The score was 45:51, which was Ji Guoqiu's first hook in the regular season, which was quite commemorative and made him very excited.

The Warriors attacked, and Harrington also chose to attack in the low post, his body was stronger than Ji Guoyi, and it didn't take much effort to get to the left waist position.

Davis originally wanted to attack on his own, and he was defended by a small man who was only 178cm, but Harrington was already in place and did not hurt the ball.

Harrington received the basketball, squeezed it backwards twice, and then his right foot did not move, and he shook it to the left, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Ji Guoshi was shaken up by him lightly, and he was happy in his heart, and secretly thought: "A rookie is a rookie, such a simple feint can clean you up." With a refreshed mind, Harrington turned in the opposite direction and took two steps before making a low-handed layup......

"Smack!"

The basketball was slapped by a giant yellow palm and fell straight into the hands of Mobley in the bottom corner, who couldn't believe it when he got the basketball.

Clippers fans witnessed Ji Guoqiu's big hat this time, and the "Staples Arena" was silent for a few seconds, and then immediately erupted in cheers far beyond the previous ones!

Slam dunks, hats, three-pointers, and steals are always the most popular scenes for fans......

The two brothers had exactly the same smile on their faces, where was Ji Guoshi so easily shaken away, he was acting to show each other, making the other party relax his vigilance when he went to the basket.

Harrington's offensive direction is easy to judge, anyway, it's either left or right, Ji Guoqiu induces him to break to the side, and Ji Guoqiu can give the opponent a big hat under the basket as long as he sees the right time.

Mobley got the basketball that was fanned by Ji Guoqiu and passed it to Blevin, who came up to pick it up, and the Clippers grabbed the ball back and counterattacked.

Ji Guoqiu fell to the top of the arc and stopped outside the three-point line, Blaven slipped in through the cover, and the Clippers' small point immediately attracted the defensive attention of the Warriors players. However, no one paid attention, Ji Guoqi also ran in the direction of his brother, Ji Guoqiu still stood still after blocking and demolishing for Blevin, and blocked the defender for Ji Guoyi.

Harrington secretly screamed that it was not good, the two twins standing together was dazzling enough, and he didn't know which of the two brothers was blocking this block? Anyway, there was a guy who had now run out of the air and was out of his control.

Ji Guoyi got rid of Harrington and quickly ran to the left three-point line to stand.

By this time, Blavine had already attracted two Warriors defenders on the inside, and with a flick of his wrist passed the basketball from the paint to the outside of the three-point line.

Ji Guoyi stretched out his hand to catch it, and the subsequent work became simple, the big empty three-point unguarded, Ji Guoyi would not miss such a good opportunity, lightly stretched his ape arm, and the basketball "swished" into the net!

The score was 48-51, and the Clippers chased the score to just three points in two rounds, and Nelson Sr. had to call a timeout to interrupt the Clippers' scoring momentum. At this time, it is called a timeout, and the deployment of tactics is secondary, and not allowing the morale of the Clippers to rise is the most important thing.

Ji Guoqiu has scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks by the end of this timeout, and Ji Guoqiu's 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks are not inferior to his brother.

The elder Dunleavy was very satisfied with the performance of the two, and when the captain was there last season, they played the Warriors with 1 win and three losses, and the scene was not better than today.

At the end of the timeout, the Warriors used Davis to score two points alone, which was the 12th point of the day for the bearded man, Davis didn't make much effort to score such a high number, and if he had made up his mind to beat the Clippers' two weak point guards, he would never have scored more than that.

In the final three minutes of the first half, the Warriors really started to attack the Clippers' weaknesses, and Blevin Knight's height became a target for the Warriors, with the beard hitting his head in quick succession.

The Clippers are in full bloom, Ji Guoqiu is in the middle, Blaven breaks through with the ball, Ji Guoyi and Mobley are ambushed on the outside, Artest plays the wing from time to time, and occasionally eats opponents in the low post, and their scoring speed is not inferior to the Warriors.

At halftime, if it weren't for Davis' three-pointer at the buzzer, the two teams would have actually been tied.

The score was 58:61, and the Warriors relied on Davis' ultra-long-range three-pointer at the last moment to end the first half by a narrow margin.

For the Warriors, the beard relied on this goal to score 20 points in the half and became the highest scorer in the game, Ellis had 11 points and 2 assists, Jackson had 10 points, and Harrington had 8 points and 3 rebounds.

The Clippers' Ji Guoqiu scored the highest score on the team, 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, Artest 12 points, Ji Guoqiu 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and Mobley 10 points.

"Everyone's good, this is our first game of the regular season, this season we started with injuries, trades, people outside think that our goal this year should be on the mess, originally I don't know what you guys think? But now, you've used the first half to let me know that you're like me, we're all like the playoffs. ”

As soon as the elder Dunleavy spoke, Artest interjected: "Of course we have to play the playoffs, and we have to beat the opponent in the playoffs, hell it sucks!" ”

"But if we don't win, the outside media will still say that we failed in the trade, and they will still think that our best goal this year is to mess up! So, what do you say to do? ”

"Kill them...... We're going to win...... To hell with the media......"

The players vied with each other to unleash harsh words, and the elder Dunleavy was satisfied.

In the second half, the two teams still clung to the score, and the two brothers had already gotten over the initial tension after the first half of the game and began to deliberately reduce the tempo. Although they didn't know if it was the right thing to do, the two knew that they couldn't run at the same pace as their opponents did at the beginning, and they would never be able to defeat the Warriors.

The Clippers on the court of Cassel, Mobley, and Artest are all old rivers and lakes, the three of them could have slowed down the rhythm to play, and in the first half, the Warriors were driven by the rhythm more or the two brothers ran too fast, and now the two rookies have also slowed down, and the rhythm on the court is no longer controlled by the Warriors, it has become a fast and slow side, and the two teams don't care about the opponent, they only play at their own pace.

The Warriors are having a hard time right now, and the fast and slow pace on the court always gives them a feeling of unfinished, which is the same as doing shameful things between men and women, the man always wilts when the woman is about to **, can you imagine what the woman will feel? And that's how the Warriors feel right now, so in the second half of the third quarter, their shooting percentage started to drop.
