Dunleavy Sr. saw Crawford receive a pass from his brother Panda and break through to the ribs to make a jumper to score two points, and he was very proud.

The Clippers are now strong and don't need to be traded at all, but if someone is willing to trade for a big price, such as a precious first-round pick, it's not that they can't sell their own exceptions, anyway, the two brothers have long rookie contracts, and they have exceptions.

In the second quarter, Howard made three fouls, the two brothers were unstoppable on the inside, and even Ji Guoyan used his half-baked little hook hand to throw in two balls, and the magic inside line was instantly eroded and retreated!

At halftime, the score was 54:41.

The Clippers scored 31 points in the second quarter and went on a 12-0 surge at the end of the game, which nearly took away the Magic.

Staples Arena has always echoed the happy cheers of Clippers fans, it is the happiest thing to have a great star on the team, and two are even happier, if the team can continue to win, then there is no way to be happier.

At halftime, the players of both teams returned to the locker room, and the scene still echoed with the intermittent "MVP, MVP!" of Clippers fans. The scream.

After the Clippers won ten in a row this season, ABC TV did a survey and found that in Los Angeles, the Clippers' support increased from 26% after winning the playoffs last season to 31%, a historic 30% share, which means that the Lakers only have 69% support.

More research shows that during the Lakers' eight-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' approval rating dropped to 66%, but there is no conclusive evidence of this authenticity. In fact, the 31% approval rating has already made Sterling smile, when the two brothers first joined the Clippers. At that time, their support was less than 20%. Those who hear it are sad. Poor for those who see it!

Now, in less than two seasons, the Clippers have nearly doubled their support in Los Angeles, which is already an incredible rate of growth.

However, ABC Radio believes that after the Clippers quickly grabbed 30% of the support in Los Angeles, it will be very difficult to grow in the future, because the 10% of the additional fans are young fans or people who are easily shaken, and they are very easy to woo, who has been playing for a long time to support whom. Come and lose quickly. But the remaining 70% of the Lakers are hardcore supporters, and if the Clippers want to snatch these people, it is not a task that can be completed in two or three years, it will take ten or even twenty years to carry out, and during this time, the Clippers must always suppress the Lakers to do it.

That said, if the two brothers want to put the Clippers and Lakers on an equal footing in Los Angeles, it will take almost their entire careers to complete, but will the two of them stay with the Clippers until they retire?

"That guy didn't play a few minutes in the second quarter, and he wasn't going to get into the groove so quickly in the second half that he could have relaxed his defense. We played three minutes in the third quarter, and we pressed at halftime. "Dunleavy Sr. took the break and quickly planned his tactics for the second half.

Big Van Gundy is not a mediocre person. There was some caution at halftime, but there were times when the role of the coach became very small, and the Magic players were prepared for the third quarter, but after a 20-minute break at halftime, they couldn't get into the groove quickly after the start of the third quarter. Especially Howard, who sat on the bench for most of the second quarter, the Monsters rested for half an hour, and it took some time to warm up their bodies again after resuming the game, which became the key to their tragedy today.

The elder Dunleavy replaced Crawford as a starter in the second half, and sent out the strongest offensive lineup at the beginning, with the aim of giving the Magic a head shot! It's better to beat the magic to death with a stick.

Ji Guoyi hit a three-pointer from the outside in the first offense of the second half; Then Crawford scored two plus one; Billups also hit a strong three-pointer from the outside, and the Clippers hit a 9-2 attack wave in just two minutes in the third quarter to open up the score gap again.

The score was 63:43, and the score gap instantly came to 20 points.

The Magic's style of play is actually very simple, and Big Van Gundy has two plans to deal with the enemy, A and B.

Plan A is a three-point shooting, which is the same as last season, thanks to the presence of Dwight. Howard draws the bag on the inside, and the Magic's outside shooter group - Rashad . Lewis, Hildo. Turkglu, Jamil. Nelson, Michael. Petrus, J.J. Redick -- will get plenty of open shots from mid-range and beyond the three-point line, similar to the Rockets' tactics, and there was a Van Gundy there in previous years.

If the Magic's perimeter players can't take advantage of those opportunities, then they can try Plan B, which is to create a low-post single opportunity for Howard, but it usually doesn't work well when it comes to interior players with tonnage.

Dunleavy Sr. is sure to let the Magic's Plan A fail completely, and that confidence stems from their interior twin brothers and excellent defense on the outside.

As for Plan B, since the Clippers want to put defensive Plan A first, it is very likely that Howard will be forced to score points by Brother Panda like in the first half. Although Howard is often embarrassed to play in the face of tonnage opponents, but against the two brothers or Bosh like the inside, Warcraft always has an excellent offensive end, to put it bluntly, he still relies on his body to play, like Perkins can cause him a lot of trouble, and when he encounters Yao Ming and O'Neal, he will stop eating directly.

The Clippers' plan B for the Magic also has two plans, A and B, which sounds tongue-twisting, but it's actually easy to understand. The first way the Clippers defended Howard was to make him an offensive foul, and they executed well in the first half. But after the first few minutes of scrambling in the second half, the Magic gradually got through Howard's low-post singles to combine inside and out again, and slowly began to chase the score.

Many fans feel that at this time, they can replace Jeffries again to perform a fake fall, Brother Panda wants to make Howard fouls can only be on the offensive end, and he will not fake falls on the defensive end, it is difficult to cause Howard offensive fouls like Jeffries, plus Warcraft is more careful in the second half, and it is not easy for Ji Guoqiu to beat Howard with his own offense.

Howard continued to make strong shots on the inside in the middle of the second quarter, and after attracting the bag, he helped the outside shooter get a few open shots, and the Magic hit a 10-2 in the middle of the third quarter to bring the score to 68-55, and the score gap changed from 20 points to 13 points.

Dunleavy Sr. didn't bring on Jeffries as fans expected. Instead, Howard's Plan B was used to defend Howard, the Chopping Howard tactic.

Howard's poor performance at the free-throw line is well known. But he's not the only player on the Magic team who hates free throws. Speaking of free throws. Petrus on the court is also shaking, shooting 66.2 percent from the free-throw line for his career, which has never been higher than 69.8 percent in a season, which would make him less decisive when driving to the basket.

When Ji or other Clippers players can't stop Howard on the defensive end, they will immediately choose to use fouls to prevent the latter from scoring directly, and Howard will soon stop laughing.

Strictly speaking, the Clippers' defense is not a chop, and the foul tactic is to make a targeted foul as soon as the opponent attacks. The Clippers weren't so impatient. But both had similar results, and Howard repeatedly stepped up to the free-throw line.

Howard was sent to the free throw line a total of 10 times in the third quarter, hitting 5 of them, and it seems that the Magic did not suffer, but earned, which is equivalent to allowing the Magic to get 50% shooting.

But the purpose of the Clippers to put Howard at the free throw line is not to defeat the Magic with the free throws of the Monster cheaters, the real purpose of the old Dunleavy is to disrupt the rhythm of the Magic's counterattack and slow down their chasing speed, they are the side that leads by more than a dozen points, and the Magic rely on free throws to chase after each point. It's simply not possible to close the score between the two teams, and it will also affect the rhythm of the rest of the Magic's players.

End of third quarter. With the score 78-66, the Clippers entered the final quarter with a 12-point advantage.

Clippers fans have put their worries at the moment, and last season the Clippers led their opponents by more than 10 points into the fourth quarter and basically did not lose a game. The same is true this season, once the Clippers enter the final quarter with a double-digit lead, they have a hundred ways to keep their opponents dead, whether they rely on defense, offense or both.

Ji Guoqiu had 8 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoqiu had 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, Billups had 12 points and 3 assists, and Crawford had 12 points.

Howard had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, Turkoglu had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Lewis had 12 points and 5 rebounds, Nelson had 6 points and 3 assists, Petrus had 8 points, and Connett had 12 points and 5 assists. Lee 5 points and J.J. Reddick 3 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Magic team tried to counterattack and move back to the point difference, and the Clippers did not panic and played at their own pace, neither making offensive fouls nor foul tactics, just to ensure that their offense did not go wrong.

Coming off the bench, Dragic and Afflalo's backcourt combination is no less powerful than Magic's Connett. Lee and J.J. Redick, along with Barnes and Amir Johnson at the front, gave the Clippers more impact than the Magic, and their bench time doubled the gap by one point.

The elder Dunleavy has been very entangled with Crawford and Afflalo as the starter recently, of course, Crawford is much stronger in terms of ability, but his defense is difficult to affect the enemy's main players. Afflalo has been far inferior to Crawford in attack this season, but he has been much better defensively and can have an impact on his opponents.

So the question is, does the Clippers' starting lineup need to be offensive or defensive?

The answer, of course, is defense, and the Clippers' starting lineup has two brothers on the offensive end, plus Billups is more than enough, so their starting lineup needs more defense than offense.

Afflalo's defense is mostly based on positivity, he will cling to you like a dogskin plaster, while relying on his clever defensive awareness to disrupt attacking players. And his confrontation ability does not suffer, the players in the second position can basically resist, and the pace may not be so fast, but except for a few stars such as Kobe and Wade, he can at least do not suffer.

Dunleavy Sr. is still very satisfied with his defensive ability, and his offensive potential is higher than that of many defensive players, which means that he may become a good offensive and defensive player in the future, which makes Dunleavy Sr. work hard to cultivate.

At 5 minutes and 40 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score was 90-76, and the Clippers led the Magic by 14 points and went into a timeout.

The Clippers bench played surprisingly well, and Dunleavy Sr. played half a quarter before being replaced.

After the main team came on the court, the two teams were deadlocked for more than two minutes, and the score difference always hovered around 15 points.

After the game entered the last three minutes, Da Van Gundy saw that the difference was still 14 points, so he reluctantly replaced all the main players and announced that the game had entered garbage time. (To be continued......) R1292
