Chapter 459: The Clipper Rule

In the second quarter, the Knicks' offense not only did not stop the fire, but the offense became more and more fierce, with nearly 20,000 fans in Madison Square Garden chanting loudly, and the New York players became more and more courageous.

The Clippers faced the Knicks' powerful offensive firepower and scored a steady score from Ji Guoqiu's two-point and two-point inside, and played the game completely at their own pace. The Knicks players feel good and have a fierce offense, as if it has nothing to do with them, you hit you fast, I play my steady dìng, see who plays who dies?

Ji Guoyi is not idle, the panda feels good on the inside today, often single-handedly picking up two players from the Knicks and scoring the blue ball, even if he doesn't score, he can cause a foul under the basket. Ji Guoyi-You-You-Small-Said-More-New-Most-Fast-www.uuxs.cc-Don't Need to Help on the Inside Today, He Has Been Waiting for an Opportunity on the Outside, As Long as There Is a Shot, His Feel This Game Is Not Bad, Although the score is not as coherent as Ji Guoqiu's inside, but in the first half, he also threw two three-pointers one after another.

In the last 30 seconds of the second quarter, the Clippers attacked, Ji Guoyi received a pass from his panda brother on the outside, and in the face of Gallinari's defense, he wittily did not shoot at the first time, but waited for a while, and waited until Gallinari pounced, Ji Guosha threw the basketball against the opponent, and deliberately rubbed Gallinari.

"Huh!" The basketball did not hit the iron because of the loss of shooting rhythm, Ji Guoyi's ball was still hollow hit, and the referee's whistle sounded along with the sound of brushing the net.

"Haha, this referee is good, it's been a long time since I've met a referee who doesn't target us." Ji Guoyi was worried that the referee would not give a foul, but today the referee did not make it difficult for them, the two brothers did not end the game at half, and together they have stood at the free throw line 12 times, and it will be the 13th time.

Gallinari played badly on the defensive end today, but the offensive end was okay, and he also hit two three-pointers in the first half, which is why D'Antoni kept him on the court. But now it seems that Italy's most talented player, although very talented, is not a level in the world, especially when compared to twin brothers.

Jeff. Van Gundy said: "Italy has produced a lot of talented rookies in the past two years, including other European countries, and many of them have played at a good level in the first round of the season. But even if you count 06, the rookies in the past three years can have such a talented guy as twins, and they can be counted with only one hand - twin brothers, Kevin. Durant, Derrick. Rose, in my eyes, these four can become superstar-caliber players, and the potential of other rookies should not reach this point. ”

Ewing agrees: "Since the league banned high school students from participating in the draft, it has been easy to tell rookies with superstar potential, and if you look at their first season's chart, you can basically confirm that in the second season at most, if they can't play the star level in their second season, it means that they have limited potential." The twin brothers were 20+9 and 15+12+5 in the first season and 25+10 and 20+13+6 in the second season. Durant 20+6+3 in the first season and 25+7+3 in the second season. Kroos had 18+6 in his first season. The four of them do have superstar potential, there's no doubt about it. ”

Ji Guo hit the penalty and glanced at the sidelines, and found that there were many beautiful girls applauding him, and the little fox suddenly didn't know what his surname was, he just felt that the New York fans were so good, and they didn't boo themselves, if this was the home of the Jazz, someone would have been shouting to kill him.

"The New York fans are so good, and I want to buy the Nets now and move to New York in the future."

"Stupid, now as an opponent, of course you think the New York fans are good. But imagine how it feels to play at home and the fans applaud the opposing stars? ”

"You're stupid, and the New York fans applaud their enemies to show that they're not happy with their team. If the Knicks are a championship team, do you think New York fans will still be like this? ”

Both of these are actually stupid enough, they didn't notice, Iverson received the ball and quickly attacked the Clippers halfcourt, flashed Billups after Iverson's speed did not slow, and wiped Crawford a butterfly through the flower again......

Garcia was focused, and at this time he didn't care about defending others, and hurriedly went to make up for Iverson, but when he saw the answer, he threw the basketball lightly - "bang", Maddie dunked into the basket with both hands facing the basket!

The Knicks' two stars who should have been out of breath played a pleasing offense when halftime approached, and although Maddy's aerial relay was not high and the dunk action was just an ordinary two-handed dunk, the New York fans still sent their most enthusiastic cheers since the opening!

The score was 64:61, and after the Knicks scored this goal, they chased the difference to only 3 points, and after this attack, neither team scored again in the first half.

Dunleavy Sr. told reporters in an interview at halftime, "What the Clippers have to do in the second half is to maintain their rhythm, not be affected by the Knicks' fast offense, and increase shooting percentage and pressure on the defensive end." ”

In the second half, the Clippers changed the starting lineup of Billups, Garcia, Barnes, Garcia, and Ji Guoqiu, and sent their good 32 joint defense as soon as they came up, trying to put pressure on the Knicks outside.

The outside combination of Garcia and Barnes has stronger defensive ability and good offensive ability, but the potential of these two has been exhausted, and Afflalo is temporarily inferior to these two on the defensive end, but Dunleavy Sr. still chooses to give him a certain amount of playing time, hoping that he can grow quickly in the game.

Maddy, under the Clippers' joint defense, finally couldn't organize the team as comfortably as in the first half, and the Knicks missed all three shots in the second half under the Clippers' suddenly strengthened defense.

It's a pity that the Clippers didn't shoot well in the second half and failed to take advantage of the opportunity to open the score.

D'Antoni frowned on the sidelines, the Clippers' combined defense had a big impact on their offense, and taking advantage of the opponent's failure to take advantage of his offensive disadvantage to open the score, the mustache decisively called a timeout.

"Aaron, next strengthen the breakthrough, others pay attention to intersperse, we play the tactic of sudden points." D'Antoni's solution to the Clippers' joint defense was to break through and use Iverson's breakaway to create a chance. To this end, he replaced Turyaf again and let Harrington play center on top, which could pull the Clippers' interior out and give Iverson less resistance to break through.

After the Knicks called a timeout, Iverson broke through the box and faced the bag to distribute the basketball to Maddie on the outside.

"Bang"!

Maddy missed a three-point shot, Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound and quickly passed to Billups, and the Clippers quickly counterattacked.

Billups advanced quickly with the ball, Ji Guosha, Garcia, and Barnes followed from both wings, and the Clippers made a fast attack with four people, and finally Ji Guosha staged an aerial relay to finish.

Once the Clippers' counterattack starts, the speed is not slower than the Knicks, especially their two interior lines are faster than the average No. 3 position, if the Knicks can't reduce mistakes and increase the speed of defense, the Clippers' counterattack is enough for them to drink a pot.

Van Gundy smiled: "The Clippers should have focused on defensive counterattacks, the Knicks are at the bottom of the league in terms of turnovers, and the speed of return visits is not as fast as their offensive speed, if the Clippers can convert the Knicks' turnovers and missed shots into counterattacks, the Knicks will not be so smooth in the first half." ”

The Clippers also recognized this, and in the next game, they stepped up their pressing against the Knicks, and the three outside players often made some gambling steals, knowing that even if the ball was passed by rashly, their two interior players could fill their positions.

Iverson's breakthrough in the second half was still able to penetrate into the penalty area, but after all, he is 33 years old, and he does not have absolute speed to get high marks in the penalty area guarded by the two brothers, which is simply not a thing. Including Nate. Robinson, the green-skinned frog, also received a big hat from his Panda brother in the third quarter, and the two brothers combined for five blocks in the third quarter, and the Knicks were like a cavalry charge but encountered a triphorse, and the man who fell in the Clippers restricted area rolled over.

In the first half, the Knicks couldn't break through, and they could also rely on long-range shots from the outside to score points. But in the second half, the Clippers put on a 32-defensive formation, strangled the Knicks' outside projection, and the two brothers guarded the restricted area tightly, and the Clippers played a score of 24:14 in this quarter, leading the Knicks by 13 points at the end of the third quarter.

D'Antoni knows that the Clippers' high-intensity defense will not last the whole game, but as long as they can hold on to one quarter, there is not much they can do with the Knicks' strength. Their interior line can't be like the Spurs, Cavaliers and other teams, they can rely on interior stars to compete head-on with the Clippers, and once they can't get the opponent on the outside, they can only be handled by the opponent in the end.

This is how the Knicks were killed by the Clippers in the third quarter, and the two brothers played the third quarter, using the perverted defensive range of the two to block the restricted area, and although it was tiring to play like this, they managed to put the team into the final quarter with a 13-point difference.

The double-digit lead was important, and the Clippers went into the final quarter with a double-digit lead that they hadn't lost since last year. This law has been called the "Clippers Rule" by the media, and even the Clippers players themselves are very superstitious about this law, as long as they enter the final quarter with a double-digit lead, they will be in better shape than normal in the final quarter, and the opposing team is like a negative buff, and no opponent has successfully counterattacked the Clippers.

The Knicks wanted to be the first team to do it for a few years, but the Clippers bench was very competitive, with Jordan Jr. and Amir. Johnson can actually face the Knicks' interior line to gain the upper hand, which is also a very rare situation for the Clippers, and their bench interior line is the league's number of deposits from back to front, which proves how scummy the Knicks' interior line is.

When the two brothers returned to the court in the last 6 minutes and 05 seconds, the Knicks, who had already sent all the main players, only chased the score to 10 points. In the face of such a point difference, when the Knicks players found that the main players of the Clippers returned to the court, the morale of the players immediately dropped significantly, and they knew that they could not catch up with the score in the face of the bench, and there was no chance at all in the face of the main team led by the twin brothers.

With a final score of 119-107, the Knicks unsurprisingly lost to the league leaders on their home court, and these two superstars, who have fallen from their prime, may be able to make the playoffs this year. But if the Knicks want to have the strength to compete for the championship, the team and the players can't afford to wait, and it's really impossible to say whether they are in such a bad situation.
