In the fourth quarter, the Rockets attacked. Lee's turnaround hook was interfered with by McDyce, and Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound.

The Clippers fought back, and Crawford easily shook past Badinger for a layup. On the Rockets' side, after Lowry broke through the basket, he handed the ball over from the side of the defender. Lee followed up with a dunk.

Barnes missed a layup, and Jordan Jr. flew in the crowd to grab the rebound, causing Hayes to be fouled defensively.

The Rockets hurriedly replaced Uncle Mu, Hayes is more than ten centimeters shorter than Jordan Jr., and no matter how stable the lower plate is, it can't make up for the huge height gap. In addition, Badinger's defence has always been an Achilles' heel. Although Jordan Jr. missed both free throws, Crawford hit a 3-pointer in the face of Batinger's defense again, and the difference stretched to 8 points, and the Rockets were on the verge of danger.

9:30 of the fourth quarter, David. After Lee caused Jordan Jr.'s foul, the Rockets quickly replaced Guy. David. Li made two free throws and one hit. Lowry attacked and found a shot, but the ball slipped off the basket. Guy rushed for the rebound and put the ball in Jordan Jr.'s head.

Old Dunleavy ordered Ji Guoqiu to play first, and the giant panda rested for half a quarter in the third quarter, and his body was sufficient.

Adelman was soon replaced by Scola to bolster his attacking capabilities on the inside.

After Ji Guoqiu came on the court, he began to attack in the low position, and the opponent's two inside lines were both 206cm tall, and there was no threat to his hook hand at all, and he could shoot lightly when he turned around.

David. Li's athletic ability is not bad, but in the face of Ji Guoqiu, the two are still at least one level behind.

Ji Guoqiu received the ball in the low post, squeezed two steps and turned around immediately.

David. Li didn't pounce on the block, and Ji Guoqiu shot directly. The basketball makes an arc and easily falls into the hoop.

The Clippers' next offense. Ji Guoqiu sat and played at the free throw line. The Rockets players didn't dare to come over to help defend, Brother Panda's ability to respond made people jealous, and no one dared to come over to cover the basket unless he broke through to the basket.

David. Li defended Ji Guoqiu alone, obviously powerless, and he did not suffer in terms of strength, but Ji Guoqiu's footstep advantage made it difficult for him to make a correct judgment, and hesitated slightly. Brother Panda relied on his height advantage and excellent hand feel to shoot directly; If he pounces on it to block, the current Ji Guoqiu can use his skillful inside footsteps to create a better shot gap, or directly create a foul.

This time, Ji Guoqiu turned directly and broke through, using his arm span in the restricted area to David. Li made a strong shot on the head, and the basketball crossed the cover of the latter, and the board fell into the basket.

Ji Guoqiu scored two consecutive strong attacks, but the Rockets still didn't dare to come up and wrap up.

"No clips. Take me and keep attacking. ”

Ji Guoqiu felt very cool and dealt with the inside line who was shorter than himself. His lethality this season is stronger than the previous two seasons, and the increase in strength allows him to maintain the stability of his shots in confrontations, and he does not need to avoid shooting often like the previous two seasons, and his shooting percentage is naturally not as high as it is now.

David. Lee finally succeeded in making Ji Guoqiu's shot not go in for the third time, but the two had physical contact, and now it was the regular season, and the referee would not deliberately favor the opponent of the Clippers, and the whistle sounded immediately, and Ji Guoqiu got two free throw opportunities.

The Rockets have missed their free throw shooting today, making just over 11 of their 20 free throws so far and shooting just over 50 percent, a far cry from their usual 71 percent.

Ji Guoqiu shot 91% from the free-throw line last season, and he has only missed three free throws so far this season. And since mid-November, he has hit 28 free throws in a row, and with those two free throws again, he will complete the record of "hitting 30+ free throws in a row" for the third time.

Last season, Ji Guoqiu hit a record of 46 consecutive free throws, and his next goal is to hit more than 50 free throws in a row before catching up with Michael. Williams hit an NBA record 97 free throws in a row. Of course, he doesn't just want to break the record of "consecutive free throws", the Pandas are also ambitious, and he also wants to surpass Kevin in the 1980-81 season. Murphy's 95.8% free-throw shooting percentage in a single season is the highest in NBA history.

Ji Guoqiu executed two free throws, the first one was a bit ominous, although the free throw ball finally rolled into the basket, but the ball smashed heavily on the back edge of the basket at the beginning; Before the second shot, Ji Guoqiu took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders vigorously, and then slapped the ball three times as usual, and threw the ball out - with a "swish", the basketball responded to the frame.

A nice sound effect sounded in the Staples Stadium, and the word "30" was immediately typed on the screen at the scene, Ji Guoqiu hit both free throws, and hit 30+ free throws in a row for the third time in his career. This kind of free throw shooting ability is enough to put Howard and O'Neal to shame for days.

Last season, Ji Guoqiu also set a record of all free throws in the playoffs. Barry said in an interview: When the twin brothers walked to the free throw line, their whole body was full of confidence, and he suddenly saw what he was before. "I'm willing to bet these two guys think they're going to hit all the free throws," Barry commented at the time, "and people might think they're going to be under pressure because they're chasing a record, but when you're confident, you don't feel any pressure at all." ”

Ji Guoqiu himself said that the best free thrower, once standing on the free throw line, his mind will be blank, and he only remembers the "full set" of actions practiced every day.

The two brothers' full set of movements is like this: stretch their arms before receiving the ball, take a deep breath after receiving the ball, and then shoot the ball three times in a row, holding their breath and shooting quickly. The two of them are very standard and beautiful in their free throw hands, and the strength of their shots is very appropriate, and in this case, it is difficult not to score free throws.

However, there is another difficulty, which everyone in the league will encounter, and that is the "disruptor" sitting on the back of the away basket. At the home of every team, there are some fanatical fans who are determined to interfere with the shots of the opposing team's players. For both seasons, the twin brothers were the target of their concentrated interference.

There's a guy in Portland named Rob. Ames' young male fans, whenever the Trail Blazers play, he always wears a special, colorful "free throw jamming man" T-shirt. Spend at least an hour before the game doing "number jù analysis". Summarize the penalty shooting habits of opposing players. and brewing "personalized" distractions, such as his response to Richard. Jefferson yelled, "Don't talk about the president (there was a Jefferson president in the United States), you're not even a mayor!" ”

Of course, against the two brothers, many fans of the team will shout "Christine or Emma. Watson", Ji Guoqiu stopped hitting 46 consecutive free throws at the time, which was planted in the hands of this Portland fan. At that time in Rob. With Ames led, hundreds of Portland fans shouted "Christine", only to make the belly black panda's free throw nearly out of his hands, throwing an air balloon that the guys themselves couldn't believe.

The game between the two teams continued, and a minute later, Jordan Jr. was also fouled, and this guy looked bitter and vengeful at the free throw line. Sure enough, Jordan Jr. missed two free throws, but Ji Guoqiu actually grabbed the rebound and scored a basket.

7 minutes and 50 seconds in the fourth quarter. The score is 90:79, and Adelman sighs. Brother Panda almost defeated them alone, why is such a player not a member of his own team? Why do the Clippers have two such great players?

Guy turned around with his back to Barnes and made a jumper, but was interfered with by Dragic and Barnes, and the basketball brushed out of the basket.

The Clippers got the rebound and started a fast break, Dragic dribbled to the frontcourt, and found that the Rockets players were focusing on Ji Guoqiu and Crawford, and immediately took the opportunity to break through.

Ji Guoqiu made a wall for Dragic at the free throw line, Lowry was blocked by him, Scola couldn't change the defense, Dragic hit an empty layup, and the difference became 13 points.

The Staples Arena sounded the cry of "MVP" and "MVP", Lowry was interfered with on the offensive end, and the pass was wrong, but fortunately, Barnes touched it at the end, otherwise the ball was lost, and the Clippers immediately counterattacked, and the game was completely over.

The two teams took the opportunity to make substitutions, most of the main players returned to the court, Yao Ming and Ji Guoyi returned to the court, and it seemed that the hope of the Rockets was still not great.

Yao Ming hit a shot after coming on the court, and Ji Guoqiu assisted Crawford for a layup.

After the Clippers came on the court with Ji Guosha, the offensive points became extremely many, and the Rockets took care of one or the other on the defensive end, and were successfully attacked by Crawford.

The Rockets couldn't find a chance on the offensive end, and the two brothers defended several laps larger than the Rockets, which was their biggest advantage, especially in the stalemate, and it was easy to rely on their wide range of defense to make the opponent miss the shot, and take the opportunity to open up the score gap.

Marbury, who returned to the court, relied on his solid ball control skills, burst into play, and turned twice in the Clippers defense, and the offensive time was approaching, although no mistakes were considered very good, but he couldn't find a passing space, and once he didn't do it well in 24 seconds, he would be scolded for sticking to the ball.

Guy came in the bottom right corner, and Marbury, who was very experienced, said that you have to take the pot yourself, which would be great, and immediately passed the basketball over.

With 2 seconds left on the offensive clock, Barnes didn't need to think about feints anymore and immediately pounced on the block.

Guy faced Barnes' block and threw the basketball out with a big backhand......

"Huh!"

As I said before, Guy often throws iron in regular time, but he always hits key goals at critical moments. This time it was a very crucial goal, otherwise the margin would be closer to 20 points, and with less than seven minutes left in the game, once the margin was widened to 20 points, the Rockets would have few chances.

Ji Guoyi didn't provoke Guy, he was going to pay back a three-point first, and then use the snake skill. It turned out to be too beautiful, Lang missed a three-point shot, and after Scola grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball to Guy, who directly launched a fast-break counterattack.

"You're thinking too beautifully."

Ji Guozhi scolded in his heart, the two brothers quickly returned to the defense, and found that Guy actually planned to go to the basket by himself, and the three of them jumped up at the same time under the basket, and the two yellow long arms slapped towards Guy's right hand holding the ball and dunk.

Guy's athleticism is indeed qualified to support him to become a superstar player, and this situation is a death for ordinary people, but Guy temporarily changed his mind in the air, slapped the ball back, and passed a rebound ball to his teammates who followed up behind him.

All three rushed out of bounds, but no one from the Rockets followed, Yao Ming and Scola just crossed the halfcourt, Marbury and Lowry just crossed the three-point line, and the closest to the basket was Barnes, and the basketball naturally passed to him.

Barnes's attitude is not to say, at this time you can see his value, if a role player does not have this kind of passion, at most he can only be a base salary player, and the extra millions of dollars are not because of lack of ability, but because of insufficient hard work.

The Clippers broke the ball and immediately launched a counterattack, and Crawford also dribbled the ball himself, but the result was completely different, this one Rockets no one could keep up with Crawford's speed, and the latter easily made a layup.

The Staples Arena was even more boiling, and the fans were cheering!

Under the influence of the noise in the sky, the Rockets continued to attack, and Scola's forced layup was blocked by Ji Guoyi, and the Rockets immediately asked for a timeout. Jones replaces Lowry.

After the game restarted, Guy hit a three-pointer again, but the Rockets still couldn't stop the Clippers from scoring, and Ji Guoyi broke through and hit a layup, and the difference remained in double digits.

Marbury missed a three-pointer and Guy got down on his knees to snatch the ball back, but the Rockets couldn't hit it until 24 seconds left.

Ji Guoqiu faced Yao Ming, pulled down the outside line and easily got the little giant, and made a mid-range jumper.

After Marbury steals Crawford, Guy hit another three-pointer at the top of the arc.

"Bag clip, can't let this kid continue to score."

Dunleavy Sr. called a timeout and ordered the team to pack Rudy, who hit three three-pointers in a row. Gay, let him shoot like this again, and the remaining six minutes are enough for the Rockets to turn the tables, and the defending champions must not lead by 15 points, and finally be overturned.

Rudy. Guy exploded in the final quarter and earned some respect from the Rockets, and this guy does have some strength.

But after the timeout, the Rockets' defense was still useless, and Billups scored a layup after breaking through with the help of a pick-and-roll, and the whole process was like no man's land.

Adelman is so angry that his stomach hurts, the Rockets' vitality is too low, and they are always scored lightly when they need to explode, which is still a piece of.

Marbury made a sharp stop after accelerating, causing a foul on Hill, who returned to the court, and after hitting two free throws, the margin was still 10 points.

Ji Guoshi missed three points, the giant panda continued to grab and shoot himself under the basket, brushed two frontcourt rebounds and scored 2 points, Yao Ming and Scola both looked a little dark, the dead panda was too hateful, and this game couldn't be played.

The game quickly entered the final three minutes, and Dunleavy Sr. called a timeout to replace Barnes with Afflalo, and returned to the starting line-up completely.

With a score of 102:92, the Clippers always maintained a lead of about 10 points.

Ji Guoqiu 28 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 22 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Billups 16 points and 6 assists, Crawford 19 points, Hill 8 points.

Yao Ming 16 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Marbury 20 points and 7 assists, Scola 19 points and 7 rebounds, Rudy. Guy 20 points, David. Lee had 10 points and six rebounds, and Lowry had five points.

When the game restarted, the action on both sides became too big, the game kept being interrupted, and the battlefield shifted to the free throw line.

This kind of battle is not suspenseful at all, in the past, the Rockets may be able to fight with the Clippers, but today's poor free throw shooting rate against the Panda brother who is about to sprint to the free throw record is naturally nine deaths.

When Yao Ming, Marbury, and Rudy. Guy hit one of two free throws, and the Rockets, caught in the free-throw curse, never had a chance to turn the game around.

Ji Guoqiu was finally fouled by six fouls, but the Clippers defeated the Rockets with free throws, and the final score was 111-100, and the Clippers had a thrilling victory over the Houston Rockets after the trade, winning 16 in a row. (To be continued......) R1292
