DENG Tai. Jones has been an underrated player throughout his career, his defensive prowess is outstanding, not inferior to the Clippers' No. 2 or No. 3 positions, and his athleticism is so athletic that he belongs to the dunk ranks. It stands to reason that the defense is good, the impact is strong, and Deng Tai. Jones shouldn't have been so obscure. The reason for this situation is related to the player's personality. Jones never demanded his playing time, as if he wasn't part of the Clippers, he wasn't active in training, and his personality was the kind of wantless and undemanding, not too high-minded.
However, don't look at people's feelings of zĂ i is not strong, thunder. Aaron was soon in Duntai. Jones suffered. On the offensive end, Ray Allen's step is extremely accurate, and the bottom corner is only a little the size of a palm. Allen will accurately step on the shooting area every time he runs, and will never step out of bounds.
Celtic offense when Ray. Allen shook off the defender again and received the ball to prepare to shoot when Deng Tai. Jones unconsciously thundered. Aaron took a step with his left foot and blocked Ray. Aaron's right foot and upper body, which is forcing you to step on your own foot.
There is a mental arithmetic and no heart, thunder. Aaron didn't have telepathy, and after landing on the ground, the sharpshooter let out a scream. Aaron stepped on Jones's feet as he landed, and immediately fell to the ground, his life and death unknown.
The referee quickly suspended the game. But he didn't directly punish Deng Tai. Jones fouled and went up to ask what happened?
The Celtic players were immediately agitated and came up to protest to the referee. Regardless of whether he saw it or not, he scolded Deng Tai in unison. Jones fouled. But when they looked at the big screen, they found that the damn Staples Field was not replaying the action at all, but instead looping a defensive foul by Garnett not long ago, and the referee also did not blow the penalty.
"I saw it, it was him who fouled him, he faked a fall. Sentence him quickly. Ji Guoyi fanned the flames next to him, and after shouting this sentence. The little fox quickly changed positions with wit, presumably for fear of being caught and beaten by the Celtics players, and needed to let his position be erratic to stay safe.
The Clippers players chimed in, shouting that it was the Celtics offensive foul. Thunder. Aaron is faking a fall, it's so shameless.
The referee didn't know the truth, he really didn't see what was happening, Deng Tai. Jones's kicking was very stealthy, and the black feet were not easy to spot, and the Celtics players didn't actually see what was going on, and they were also shouting.
The game was interrupted for three minutes as the players of the two teams complained about each other, and the protest of the Celtics players was also an opportunity to give the Big Three a break. Thunder. Although Aaron was not lightly pitted by this kick. But it wasn't to the point where they had to play for treatment, but the Celtics dragged the timeout for more than three minutes.
After the restart of the game, Ray. Aaron's sense of presence on the field suddenly weakened. DENG Tai. Jones's kick wasn't without a bit of lethality, Ray. Aaron's running position looked much stiffer than before, and it was clear that his ankles weren't that comfortable, and anyone who was padded with a black foot would not be without anything.
Rivers quickly put the situation in a different way for Ray. Allen is not going to risk a player's injury just for a regular-season win. This game can be won at the best, if the Clippers can't be beaten on the road. Then there's no need to fight hard. It's not like they don't have other means, but they can't do it in the regular season, and the Celtics' current goal is to break through from the East first, and the Clippers are not in their consideration.
The Celtics' Big Three is one of less, and their attacking power is much smaller. Allen's off-ball running is a big weapon for the Celtics to contain the opponent's defense, and without him attracting defense on the court, the Clippers will undoubtedly be much easier to defend, and the pressure on Garnett and Pierce will be much greater.
Al. Thornton replaces Ray. Allen played, this guy still hasn't developed three-point shooting ability this year, but the mid-range shooting is much more stable, and the Celtics don't plan to let him be distracted by the three-point training in the past two seasons, mainly to strengthen the breakthrough skills and mid-range stability, which is intended to train him in the direction of Wade.
The Clippers sent Jordan Jr. and Perkins to play against each other, and neither of these two rough guys had any offensive power, but Jordan Jr. was more athletic and still more aggressive than Perkins. Al. Thorton handed it over to Ji Guozhi to deal with, since this guy has no three-point shooting ability, the fox brother is too easy to defend, the two are about the same in footsteps, Ji Guoyan can completely block this guy with his height and arm span.
The team's offensive task, the old Dunleavy handed over to Billups and Crawford, and Ji Guoqiu was not easy to play against Garnett, but he could have certain restrictions on the Wolf King, and at this time, as long as the two of them took the opportunity to play a wave of offense, they could take away the Celtics.
The Celtics naturally knew what the Clippers were going to do, and Rivers was keen to get Tony. Allen went to defend Crawford, but Pierce had to be on the pitch or they would die faster. However, although Pierce's defensive ability is not bad, the misplaced defense Crawford is still inadequate, and Crawford gives full play to his dexterous and fast characteristics, making it difficult for Pierce to parry.
Crawford, as the sixth man, will meet Tony at least half of his playing time. Allen, the defensive stalwart of the Celtics in the first half, made Crawford passive. Now with Pierce, Crawford finally found the feeling of scoring in the past, scoring eight points in the third quarter to help the Clippers lead the Celtics by five points at 86-81.
Ji Guoqiu had 12 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyi 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Billups 10 points and 5 assists, Crawford 14 points, Afflalo 6 points, Garcia 8 points, Barnes 6 points, Dragic 6 points.
Garnett 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Pierce 18 points and 4 rebounds, Ray Allen 12 points, Rondo 8 points and 8 assists, Al Anderson. Thornton had 12 points and Perkins had four points and three rebounds.
Charles. Barkley commented on the table of both teams during the timeout: "The second half of the third quarter. The Clippers began to take the initiative on the court, and Ray. Allen's absence has had a big impact on Celtic, who are no longer able to attract defenders from the outside. The players who opened up the space, the Clippers played a period of 23 joint defense, and the effect was good. â
Kenny. Smith also said: "Against a team like the Clippers, you have to have an outside line that can open up space, otherwise it will be a disaster to play against the twin brothers on the inside!" The twins combined for four blocks in the third quarter, which was the aftermath of the Celtics' inside shots. We can look at the nine games the Clippers have lost this season, and those nine teams have won against the Clippers. The three-point shooting rate averages 43 percent, which is to say. The prerequisite for beating the Clippers is to shoot over 40 percent from three-point range. â
Charles. Barkley laughed: "That's an interesting number, but I think the Spurs are an exception, they beat the Clippers twice and shot an average of just 38 percent from three-point range. They relied on a strong attack from the interior to break the Clippers' vaunted interior and beat the defending champions in a grand manner. â
Kenny. Smith rolled his eyelids: "The premise is that you have Duncan and Jamison, it really can't work, and 37-year-old O'Neal and Stoudemire can also make it." â
The Celtics have only one Garnett on the inside, and while he can still score some points on the premise of limiting Ji, it won't be enough to help his team gain an advantage. Even if Ji Guo's hatred is inseparable, the Clippers can still rely on others, in the final analysis. He and Ji Guoyi only occupy 3 million space in the team, and the two absolute All-Star players only need 3 million, and it is difficult for the Clippers not to be strong.
A lot of media outlets are building momentum right now. They feel that Sterling has taken advantage of the two brothers for two years, the rookie contract of the two brothers is 3+1, and the Clippers should not squeeze the two brothers in the final year, and should give up the rookie contract option in the final year and give the two a big contract that matches their own strength.
Such rhetoric is becoming more and more marketable, and even Clippers fans themselves feel that their team can use two animals cheaply for three years. After three years, the two brothers will not be happy if they have a final year of contract. What if the two of them don't want to stay on the Clippers in the fourth year and are poached? Although they can match, if the players don't want to stay on the team, even if the Clippers can match, it's not interesting.
The two of them don't care about this, because even if they sign a big contract a year earlier, it will be 14.5 million a year at most. But a year later, in 2011, when the new collective bargaining agreement came out, they could sign a big contract of 17.4 million per year, which is equivalent to 3 million more per year, or 15 million if calculated over five years.
It's hard to say whether it's better to sign a big contract a year earlier or a year later, but if you think about a third contract in the future, it's better to sign a real salary a year later, and the third contract can be even bigger.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the two brothers played two minutes earlier than Garnett, and the Clippers played the interior in these two minutes.
In the last 8 minutes and 20 seconds, Rivers replaced Garnett to try to make a final fight, but the Wolves were beaten by two brothers on the inside after coming on the court, and the Celtics did not replace Garnett to much use.
Pierce made two three-pointers from the outside, but when Perkins left the court with six fouls, the Celtics couldn't withstand the onslaught of the twins on the inside, and Garnett couldn't do one-two, and no one in the league could do it. The Clippers blossomed under the leadership of the inside, and the inside and outside connections played a wave of 10:3 in the middle of the fourth quarter, widening the difference to 13 points in one fell swoop.
After that, the Celtics didn't close the margin to single digits, and with the final four minutes of the game, Rivers replaced all of his main players and sent a bench lineup to declare the game in garbage time.
The elder Dunleavy also replaced the main force, and the Clippers had a thrilling victory over the Eastern Conference giants Celtics on their home court. With this game taking their tally to 49 wins and five more wins to secure a playoff spot, the Clippers' next goal is to get their hands on that spot early and prepare for the playoffs.
