Artest learned the lesson of this violation and began to improve his awareness of the ball when he was trapped, Ji Guoqiu received Artest twice in the first quarter, and hit both mid-range shots.

The Clippers used Artest as the attacking arrow in the first quarter, and the two brothers responded with one in the middle range, and the other involved the Hornets' interior strength outside the three-point line.

The score was 25-26, and the Clippers trailed by one point.

The reason why they fell behind was because they didn't look at Chris Paul. Queen Bee played equally well in the first quarter, scoring 13 points in a single quarter and ignoring the Clippers' defense.

Paul has been an inexplicable presence in the past two seasons, his ball control skills have reached the level of superbness, he will not slow down when he bursts into the restricted area, and he can ensure that he does not make mistakes in dribbling under the noses of the two brothers.

The end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter belong to the second column, the Hornets' bench lineup is not as good as the Clippers, and the NBA small ball market will strictly ensure that it does not trigger the luxury tax red line. New Orleans is similar to the Clippers before them in this regard, and the management of both teams would rather send away the best players for a few million in order not to exceed the league's salary space.

In the NBA, it's impossible to win a championship without spending money, with the exception of the San Antonio Spurs, of course.

At 8:05 in the second quarter, the Hornets took the lead in replacing Chris Paul.

The score was 31:30, both teams did not score highly, and the Hornets only scored 4 points in 4 minutes, and their bench players were inefficient on the court.

Dunleavy Sr. was in no hurry to replace the two brothers, and the Hornets' two starting interior players didn't play, and their rookie wouldn't have gone so early.

Chris Paul has always had a very high basketball IQ, and the Clippers' two bench interior defenses on the court at the moment were terrible, and Xiao Zhengtai immediately seized the opportunity after coming on the court and broke through one after another to steal points.

Old Dunleavy only walked leisurely for less than a minute, and quickly called a timeout, his face a little pale.

In such a short period of time, Chris Paul scored two consecutive breakaways, and also completed a two-and-one on Thomas, scoring five points in a row in one minute of play.

"That little guy has scored 18 points, he's not Kobe, we can't let him be arrogant anymore. No, even Kobe Bryant can't score points on us so lightly. Little fox, you know what to do, pay attention to proportion. ”

Old Dunleavy glanced at Ji Guoyi, with an expression that you know what to do.

"Received, I'll be careful and won't be too rude to him."

Ji Guoyi's words made the Clippers players laugh out loud, but the old Dunleavy regretted it in his heart, always feeling that this bastard was unreliable, and he might not necessarily carry out his orders when the time came.

The two teams restarted the game with the score at 31-35 and the Clippers trailed by four points.

Ji Guoqiu did not go to the high post to respond, Blaven held the ball, Ji Guoqiu made a no-ball cover for his younger brother on the wing, and used his body to create a shooting space for Ji Guoqiu.

When Peja bypassed Ji Guoqiu, his younger brother Ji Guoqi had already taken the opportunity to shoot behind his brother and hit two points steadily!

In this goal, Ji Guoqiu blocked the two defenders of the Hornets alone, he did not have O'Neal's thick body, and relied on the timing of the two to block and cover just right. Pick-and-roll is a thing, it doesn't necessarily have to be as wide and thick as O'Neal or Yao Ming to be effective, the cooperation between the two pick-and-roll players is equally important, and the two of them surpass all NBA players in this regard, which is their unique advantage.

Chris Paul received the serve from the backcourt, and Blevin Knight led the defense, leaving Paul two strides away to give himself room to adjust.

The Hornets' No. 2 and No. 3 players ran off the ball, Artest was blocked by David Wesley, and Peja ran out of the wing for a three-pointer.

Paul's pass was not far off, if not grandmaster, and when Peja arrived, the Serb took the ball and immediately took a shot, adjusted his crosshair in the air, and threw the basketball in his hand......

"Bang!"

The basketball smashes on the hoop and bounces high......

"Mine!"

Ji Guoqiu shouted, and the Clippers fans were about to cheer, when a long arm behind him came uninvited, invaded Ji Guoqiu's airspace, and lit the basketball again.

Tyson Chandler's bouncing su zhì has been praised by the American media as a 7-foot-long man who meets once in 10-20 years, with a vertical bouncing height of more than 90cm. At this time, the boxing champion has not experienced a major injury, his jumping ability has not decreased, and the age of 23 is the best time for athleticism.

Ji Guoyi was also under the basket, and the basketball was flicked by Chandler and flew in his direction. The fox brother is also not as high as Chandler, his bounce is less than 80cm, but he is still better than the rebound, and he is about to jump to take off this rebound, but he feels someone behind him dragging him, it is David West.

After Chandler landed, Ji Guoqiu jumped up and easily, and easily got the rebound on the head of Ji Guoqiu, who was dragged by his jersey and couldn't jump.

"I'm cǎo Uncle!"

Ji Guoshi was overcast, and immediately wanted to swing his elbow to retaliate. But David West put his arm on his shoulder, so that he didn't even have a chance to elbow, the old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes.

Chandler won the rebound, then held the ball with both hands, and was ready to jump again to dunk the basketball between Ji Guoqiu.

"Kill him, or you'll make headlines!" Ji Guoqi and David West were entangled and couldn't go up to help, at this time they were more anxious than Ji Guoqiu, and immediately shouted in their hearts.

Ji Guoqiu is in front of Tyson Chandler, the other party's actions are obviously to humiliate him, no matter how good-tempered he is, he has to resist, he doesn't want to be ridden by Griffin like Gasol, otherwise he will have to meet people in the future?

As soon as Chandler jumped up, Ji Guoqiu immediately stretched out his hands on his two shoulders and pressed Chandler directly from the sky with all his strength. Fortunately, he had a protective move at the end, otherwise Chandler would have been seriously injured if he did not die.

"Big man, do you want to be carried off the court?"

Chris Paul immediately rushed forward and shouted at Ji Guoqiu. If it weren't for the lack of height, it is estimated that this guy would have to put his face on Ji Guoqiu's face. Paul's unexpected move immediately confused both brothers.

"Damn! Is this little bit boring? ”

Ji Guozhi felt a little unbelievable, Paul, a small man of less than 180cm, actually dared to come up and provoke?

If Kobe Bryant is angry like a "yellow bird", Chris Paul is like a "green bird" at the moment, Zhengtai's face shows a little cunning, and I don't know how malicious Ji Guoqiu is. Queen Bee's intentions are obvious, he wants to put pressure on the referee and wants a technical foul or even a malicious foul!

The referee quickly separated the players of the two teams, and sure enough, he showed a "first-degree malicious foul" to Ji Guoqiu, and the boos of the Clippers fans could almost lift the roof of the court, they could not accept the unfair punishment on their home court, and the referee's penalty was obviously too heavy.

The replay of the large screen over the "Staples" arena clearly showed that Ji Guoqiu had clearly helped Chandler down when he pulled him down, which was only a technical foul at most.

"I said, you have a good temper and everyone knows it now, so cats and dogs dare to and pee on your head, why don't they be presumptuous in front of me? Because poor Randolph is still lying at home. Ji Guoyan seemed to be very angry, and his eyes were particularly unkind when he looked at Chandler and Paul.

Ji Guoqiu didn't respond, but looking at his face, he knew that he must be in an extremely unhappy mood at the moment.

"Dead niggers, a bunch of mongrels!"

Kristen heard Billy Chris next to him whispering to himself, this guy looked like he was gritting his teeth, he was really a die-hard fan of the Clippers, otherwise he wouldn't have scolded such a thing.

Paul personally took two free throws, both of which gave the Hornets possession.

The score was 31:37, and the difference between the two teams widened to more than five points.

Chris Paul received the serve and immediately played with David West, Queen Bee dribbled into the interior by covering the ball, Ji Guoyi chased after him, and Ji Guoqiu under the basket also focused on Chris Paul.

The two brothers set up a net for Paul under the basket, and Queen Bee did not panic in the face of the two, and pretended to shoot, but in fact passed the basketball to the sky......

"Not good, Chandler!"

The two brothers knew that they had been tricked by this queen bee who seemed to be a little Zhengtai, but was actually full of bad water.

Tyson Chandler has frequently played aerial relays with Paul this season, and as long as the queen bee is paired with a jumping man, every game is indispensable for passionate aerial work.

"Bang ......"

Chandler grabbed the basketball with both hands, slammed the basketball into the basket with an unstoppable two-handed heavy dunk, and hung directly on the basket after completing the slam dunk with his whole body, yelling at the Clippers players!

Dunleavy Sr. called a timeout, a 20-second timeout.

"Calm down, everyone, especially you."

Old Dunleavy turned his gaze to Ji Guozhi and continued: "I am your coach, I know what you want to do, you are very smart, I will not teach you how to do it, or that sentence, grasp the measure, let me see that you are smarter than that little one." ”
