The Clippers attacked for the second time, and the basketball was handed to Artest in the low post on the right.

One of the two brothers pulled to the top of the arc and the other to the opposite wing, giving the beast a one-on-one chance.

Michael. Finley misplaced against Artest, his tonnage can't withstand the beast at all, Artest was very passive in the Kings last season, and this season the Clippers twins are too strong, covering up Artest's threat on the offensive end.

The Spurs players did not dare to be distracted to help defend, and the twin brothers and Billups involved most of their defensive energy, and at this time, they had to rely on Finley to defend Artest one-on-one.

The two went head-to-head, and the result was not too much suspense, the 29-year-old Artest could easily solve the 34-year-old Finley with only one piece of strength, the beast's offensive movements were not good-looking, and the speed was not fast, but it was very practical, turning around in the low post and relying on his body as a cover, and easily scoring two points on the board.

In the first quarter, the two teams became a contest between Artest and Duncan on the offensive end, the beast relied on his physical advantage to keep killing the inside attack, although his breakthrough and back body lacked changes, the technique was average and very ugly, but in a one-on-one situation, his 260-pound weight alone was rarely blocked, which perfectly interpreted what it means to drop ten with one force!

Uncle Bao was useless in the face of Artest, and accidentally, he was elbowed by Artest once, and it was the first time that Uncle Bao was so wolf.

The first quarter ended with the score at 24:20 and the Clippers leading by four points to end the first quarter.

The twins only received a few points in the first quarter after Billups and Artest attracted the pack, and scored a few points with mid-range shots, and the discerning person could have seen that the Clippers no longer use these two as the offensive axis today. They are now just playing a containment role, using their projection to open up space for Artest and Billups.

The two brothers were replaced by Dunleavy Sr. in the last four minutes, Ji Guoqiu got 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Ji Guoqiu 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, Billups 5 points and 2 assists, Artest 8 points and 2 rebounds.

The Spurs still relied on constant passing, covering and interspersed scoring opportunities in the first quarter, and Duncan was perverted today. But Parker doesn't know if it's because of his crooked nose, and he felt particularly bad today, and he swiped out the basket several times. The last place in the GDP group, Ginobili's play, when the twins are all focused on the defensive end, is also difficult to break through to the interior to finish, only shooting two from the outside. Play can only be said to be average.

Duncan had 10 points and three rebounds, Ginobili had five points and two assists, Bowen had three points and Finley had two points.

The Spurs are actually still facing the problem of the last game today, that is, the bench scoring ability is not enough, if it weren't for Finley's offensive explosion yesterday, which gave the team unexpected firepower support in the first three quarters, the Spurs would have been killed without waiting for Ginobili to explode in the final quarter.

Today they relied on Duncan's outburst in the first quarter. After the first quarter, the Spurs are still behind, and once one of the three GDP is not in shape, the Spurs will inevitably fall behind, which is their biggest hidden danger, because you can't guarantee that the GDP combination of all three people will be in good shape every game, which is unrealistic.

Artest played the full first quarter, and today the beast was happy.

Before the All-Star break, Artest's numbers had already begun to decline. This is because the first point of attack of the Clippers has become Ji Guoyi, and this little fox is actually a very lonely guy. The other giant panda has excellent playmaking skills, but at least half of his passes are for his younger brother.

Artest didn't say anything. In fact, he has a feeling of Durant in the All-Star rookie game, that is, once he and Ji Guoshi have the same opportunity, or even his chance is a little better, basketball will definitely not come to his hands, and the beast will definitely have an opinion after a long time.

And at this time, Artest's strength is still very outstanding, even if he is a transitional core in the middle of the league. It's hard to be a three-man in charge of the Clippers, but the number of shots is still so low. Artest, of course, would not be willing.

So the two brothers and Dunleavy Sr. didn't know that Artest didn't want to stay with the Clippers now. Valued from the beginning...... The twins have become more and more outstanding and have become the core of the team's key development...... Artest, who followed this process, also from the very beginning...... Ended up being a support role...... Later, he even had to give Garcia some playing time......

This kind of change made Artest unacceptable, he originally thought that he would be the boss of the Clippers for two years, and then make way for the growing twins, but no one expected these two little guys to grow up so fast, he didn't even finish half a season of being the boss, and he was treated as a role player by Dunleavy Sr.

The twins were sent on by Dunleavy Sr. at the beginning of the second quarter, and the Clippers lineup became: Blaven. Knight, Mobley, Garcia, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

As soon as Ji Guosha came up, the attack was unprecedentedly strong!

Artest is not willing to be a green leaf, Ji Guoyan hates to be a supporting role more than Artest, in his eyes, no matter whether the game is won or lost, he should be the decisive factor in this!

It depends on him to win and lose on him, this is what Ji Guoyan wants.

Ji Guoyi is not afraid of taking responsibility, because he is even more afraid that he is not the focus on the field. Ji Guoyi can understand why Iverson resolutely did not play as a substitute after not being able to play the main force at this time, and finally preferred to retire directly. If it were him, Ji Guoyan would also make such a choice, and I believe that Kobe Bryant will do the same in the future.

But it's not a bad thing to save face, otherwise how could Kobe train so hard, these guys want to be a winner all the time, so they have to work harder than others.

Ji Guoqiu doesn't have as many thoughts as him, he thinks that this is just a normal tactical arrangement, and the coach says how to fight, how they fight.

The Clippers came up in the second quarter and suddenly played a joint defense, which was a little unbearable for the Spurs' bench, these old guys with an average age of more than 35 years old, could not withstand such a high-intensity defense of the Clippers. The Clippers used joint defense against the Spurs' main team, which didn't seem to work well from the first game, but against the Spurs' bench, this trick was much better.

Ji Guoyi scored 5 points in a row on the offensive end. once received the ball from the panda brother on the outside and hit a three-point shot; A face-frame breakaway caused a foul, and he made both free throws, and he was full of energy in the second quarter.

Defensively, the two brothers have a firm grip on the inside. Thomas Sr. and Robert. Horry suffered a big loss at the hands of the two brothers, the Spurs were almost paralyzed by the high-intensity defense of the two inside, and their outside line was sandwiched by three Clippers players, Ginobili missed two three-pointers, the Spurs did not score for two minutes, and the Clippers hit a wave of 7-0 small*.

* Vicky hurriedly called a timeout. After the twin brothers scored five points in a row, the panda brother scored another goal in the low post, and in the blink of an eye, they were already 11 points behind.

"It's not them who can play joint defense, since they like to play joint defense, let's see whose joint defense is better!"

* Vicky was ruthless. After just two minutes of double-digit point difference, the Spurs coach decided to play with the Clippers!

After the timeout, Duncan and Parker, who had a break of about five minutes, came on the court together and replaced Ginobili, who played a quarter, and the Spurs' lineup became: Parker, Brent. Barry, Bruce. Bowen, Duncan, Thomas Sr.

The Clippers lineup has not changed, and Dunleavy Sr. instructed the team to continue to play joint defense and try to widen the margin to 15 points in one go.

However, after the game restarted, the Clippers players were tied up on the offensive end by the Spurs' joint defense.

Blavin. Knight and Ji Guo are ashamed of the demolition. Immediately caught by the Spurs double, he wanted to pass the ball but was blocked by the Spurs player.

Ji Guoqiu immediately came up from a low position to answer, and received the basketball hand by hand. Then he used his height advantage to distribute the basketball to Ji Guozhi at the far end, and the latter hit the unguarded three-point shot again!

The elder Dunleavy was originally shocked, but then laughed off the court, their joint defense had little effect on the Spurs' main force, it was because of Duncan and Ginobili's strategy and three-pointers, plus Parker's sharp breakthrough. Then the reverse is also true. The Clippers have twin brothers, and they're just as unafraid of the Spurs' defense.

* Vicky now realizes a misstep. The feeling of losing all the games. Today, the Clippers disrupted their setup with Artest and Billups as charging arrows. Then let the twin brothers exert their strength in the substitution period, forming a continuous firepower coverage and forming a continuous blow to them!

The Clippers now have a big enough advantage that this game won't be good for the Spurs.

The score was 34:20, Ji Guosha hit this three-pointer, and the Spurs were already 14 points behind.

Duncan continued his good touch on the offensive end, Parker returned the ball after blocking and breaking through, and Shi Fo hit it from mid-range.

With Duncan on the court, the Spurs began to make free-handed cuts and interspersed runs around the boss who was unleashing his "Buddha Light" skills, and they could finally score steadily under the Clippers' combined defense.

After the elder Dunleavy saw Duncan playing, the joint defense was no longer effective, and he soon canceled the joint defense and re-marked people.

At 6 minutes and 20 seconds in the second quarter, Dunleavy Sr. took advantage of the dead ball to replace Billups and Artest back on the court, and the previous lineup also scored steadily, and Dunleavy Sr. let the twins play half the quarter with substitutes.

Ji Guoyi is somewhat similar to Duncan on the opposite side today, and the little fox also feels hot, adding 12 points to his score in the first half of the game, and has become the highest scoring player on the Clippers.

The score was 41:30, and the Spurs were still trailing by double digits.

Ji Guoqiu got 4 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Duncan had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Ginobili 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Parker 2 points.

Old Dunleavy was a little shaken now, hesitating whether to continue to let Artest and Billups act as arrows? The twins with their benches still kept the Spurs at a double-digit margin, which was more efficient than using Artest and Billups as the main attackers.

Artest continued to ask for the ball after he came on the court, and the elder Dunleavy hesitated, but did not change the strategy he had set before the game, that is, to continue to play Artest and Billups.

Ji Guozhi was reluctant to be the boss in his heart, but he could only continue to focus on defense and rebounding with his brother.

Artest protruded with his face and carried Bowen to the basket with his body......

Uncle Bao retreated, making small movements, and his feet were very unclean.

Artest is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the beast's hands are also unclean, these two people are half a pound against eight taels, two famous villains in the league finally dragged together under the basket, the beast relied on its strong body to squeeze away Uncle Bao, and threw the basketball with one hand......

Duncan slapped the basketball on the rebound, Uncle Bao suffered a big loss on the defensive end in the first quarter, and he has been thinking about how to defend Artest?

It's a pity that the time is limited, the third uncle didn't come up with a foolproof plan for the time being, and could only let his teammates help him.

However, the basketball hit the rebound and rebounded directly into Ji Guoqiu's hands, and Brother Panda faced the big gift, immediately jumped up and dunked, picked up the leak and scored two points.

The cheers of the Spurs fans walked high to the halfway point, and at this moment it was like being choked by the neck, and their faces turned red!

Today, San Antonio fans were in high spirits at first, clamoring to send the Clippers to a two-game losing streak and send them to fishing...... However, as the game progressed, they no longer had the arrogance they had before the game, and the result of being ten points behind really made them not arrogant.

"Protect the blue version of the backcourt, don't break fast, ask for rebounds!" * Vicky shouted on the sidelines, the Clippers' two interior players will fight for frontcourt rebounds at every chance today, Duncan can't grab the two brothers alone, and more people must be dispatched.

The next time the Clippers attacked, Billups missed from mid-range.

Ji Guoqi entangled Duncan with small actions under the basket, and Ji Guoqiu took the rebound from the head of Thomas Sr., and then forced Thomas Sr. to foul for the third time.

* Vicky can only replace Thomas Sr. with Oberto, but the Spurs head coach knows that Oberto is not as good as Thomas Sr. in rebounding, and there is no way to take the twins.

The Clippers made a fuss about rebounding, which was a real headache for Vic, and they didn't have enough interior height, except for Duncan, only Oberto, Thomas Sr. and Robert. Horry can be used, but all three of them are only about about the same height, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in the face of twin brothers who are tall and have long arms and can jump.

"Keep playing like this, we control the rebounds, and they will lose today!"

Ji Guoqiu grabbed rebounds in the front court in a row, and at this time his feelings were high, he had already got 9 rebounds today, and he was almost double-double in less than half time.

"Boss, I blocked people for you to grab so many rebounds, don't listen to the old man, pass me more in a while, I feel good today, there is no reason to play Artest, I am the protagonist!"

Ji Guoyi took the opportunity to trick his brother into passing him more balls, today he feels that he feels very good, if he can have enough shots, he may be able to brush up 40 points. (To be continued) R655
