Before the start of the game, the Clippers arranged a championship ring presentation ceremony at home, giving Chris Paul a separate ring from last season to thank him for his dedication to the team in the previous three years.

This small detail made Paul feel extremely comfortable, it was not that he left the Clippers, the other party did not regard him as a hero, and the home fans also gave him warm applause, not as a betrayal.

Of course, Donald Sterling didn't expect that it was proposed by Yang Rui in a meeting with management. They give Paul enough respect to show everyone the humanity of the Clippers' management, and there will be more big-name liberos willing to join in the future.

Salute first, then soldiers, and the game begins.

Clippers starters: Curry, Green, Middleton, Griffin, Chandler.

Mavericks starters: Paul, Ray Allen, Marion, Nowitzki, Gasol Jr.

In this all-American live game, Griffin didn't know what to think and volunteered to earn the ball. As a result, instead of bullying Gasol Jr., he made a joke, jumped with all his strength without looking at the height of the ball, and dialed the air......

Gasol Jr. relied on a 1CM bounce and a toe to unexpectedly win the jump ball, a rare scene that should be selected as one of today's top five.

Paul dribbled to the three-point line, hit the ground and passed to Nowitzki in the right corner, standing 70 degrees, forming a triangle with Ray Allen in the bottom corner.

Nowitzki received the ball with his back and Chandler was the man who defended him. He leaned on Chandler twice, turned around in the middle and threw a backward jumper, making a "golden rooster independence", Chandler was in front of him, tried his best to jump up and block it or didn't cover it, and the ball went in. 0 to 2.

Novis Ki only played 53 games last season and recovered from injury this season, averaging 22.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33 minutes per game in the opening period, shooting 49.7% from the field, 40.3% from three-point range and 90% from the free throw line.

As a 35-year-old veteran, Nowitzki has maintained his form too well, and his efficiency score is temporarily 9th in the league, just above Griffin of the Clippers.

Even if Nowitzki is already a veteran, Yang Rui doesn't dare to let Griffin defend him, Chandler can't cover this trick and turn around to "Golden Rooster Independence", Griffin's single defense is only to watch, and then he has to arrange a bag and clamp tactic.

The Clippers are man-to-man, and they can guard against outside threes as usual.

The Clippers attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, teammates four pulled away, two on the outside, two in the low post, and the middle gave up open space for Curry and Paul to go head-to-head.

Star heads-up is the most direct and engaging way to attack. Curry held the ball first on the left side, dribbled behind his back to his right hand and stepped back, and made a quick shot, Paul immediately jumped up and blocked, and the judgment was accurate, but it was not covered.

The two have been teammates for three years, often heads-up, and know each other's strengths and weaknesses. In the case of knowing the roots, the person who suffers is Paul, because he is only 183CM tall, and the anti-jump shot is a weakness, and the jump shot happens to be Curry's stunt.

Curry was a little excited about Paul, and the first shot didn't grasp the momentum well, and he popped out of the frame, but the offense was not over, and Griffin rushed to grab the rebound in the front court.

Nowitzki's offense is still strong, his ability to control rebounds has inevitably declined, his physical fitness has dropped a lot, he is pure floor flow, and his bounce at his peak can't compare to Griffin's.

Griffin didn't get the basketball, he divided the ball again, Gasol Jr. was very good at defending the penalty area, he had seen it many times, and everyone was an old opponent.

Green received the ball on the perimeter and leaned on Ray Allen's back, Curry and Chandler covered without the ball and ran to the bottom left corner, Paul was blocked, and Green distributed the ball.

Curry wasn't going to go one-on-one with Paul from start to finish, he was going to use what he was good at. He was misplaced on the court, and Gasol Jr. was slow to change defenses, which was the Mavericks' biggest weakness at center.

Curry caught the ball and drifted and shot, Gasol Jr. tried his best to pounce and interfere, and flew to the basket before he could jump the ball. After Curry throws the ball, his body is off the baseline, and most players have to hit iron for this kind of drifting movement, but Curry has an amazing hand, and he throws a perfect arc with his feelings, hollow into the net. 3 to 0.

On the sidelines, Carlisle also took a deep breath when he saw this performance, compared to 11 years, Curry has improved too much, Gasol Jr. and Nowitzki are out of position to prevent him, now it depends on whether the Mavericks' offense can overwhelm the Clippers.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, and Gasol Jr. covered in the middle to help Paul get rid of Curry and break through on the left.

Griffin switched defenses in time, Curry chased the defense with all his might, and Paul distributed the ball to the middle. Griffin immediately let go of Paul to pounce on Gasol Jr., a step too late, Gasol Jr. was too familiar with this kind of cooperation, he shot when he received the ball, did not jump at all, and relied on the speed of the shot to avoid blocking the ball and scoring it. 3 to 2.

The Clippers attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the width of the court to avoid Paul's steal, and Griffin covered as soon as the halftime was over, helping Curry get rid of it.

Nowitzki didn't shoot near the three-point line, and his position was already relatively outside, but what he didn't expect was that Curry shot three meters away from the three-point line in the middle, and someone usually didn't have time to shoot at this position.

Nowitzki didn't step forward to interfere, and he didn't think it was going to be a good shot, even though Curry's shot looked beautiful, and he turned around and saw the ball fly into the basket. 6 to 2.

Joined the TNT Deyun Club, the "big shark" O'Neal who was in charge of the commentary shouted: "My God, I've never seen a point guard so accurate, this kid is crazy, right?" ”

Barkley smiled: "In the summer, someone on the Internet released a video of Curry practicing three-point shooting in the middle of the court, even if he can't shoot at this distance, he has practiced." ”

Kenny Smith said: "Curry is strong, but I don't recommend young players to imitate him, and if they throw two steps beyond the three-point line, I guess more than half of them are three-nipples." Young players must practice the basics before thinking about this kind of thing. ”

Paul was also taken aback, he knew that Curry had been practicing three-pointers in the midfield in the team, but he didn't think that he had the naivety to guarantee the shooting rate, if Curry shot several at a time, how would the game be played?

The Mavericks attacked, Paul and Gasol Jr. blocked and broke through the left side, Griffin changed defenses, and Paul passed the ball to the middle.

Curry didn't chase this time and blocked in front of Gasol Jr., although he was only 190CM, Gasol Jr. also gave up shooting, and his mid-to-long-range shooting was only high in the open space, and Curry could interfere slightly.

Gasol Jr. played high and played another specialty of his own, and responded in a high position. Nowitzki ran to the middle, and he passed the ball over Curry's head.

Nowitzki leaned on Chandler's back and turned to the right, holding the ball with both hands, Chandler was experienced, and only raised his hands close to his body, but did not jump. Nowitzki's attacking rhythm was disrupted and he passed the ball out again.

Ray Allen received the ball and was entangled by Green, did not have a direct shot, broke through and failed to pass, and took a step inside the three-point line to protect the basketball with his back, and then looked for Paul.

Paul controlled the ball to observe his teammates' runs, Nowitzki covered Ray Allen on the side, Chandler stood relatively outside, and Ray Allen still didn't have a direct chance to shoot when he received the ball, which is the benefit of strong mobility on the inside.

Ray Allen passed to Nowitzki, who took a step and was blocked by the retreating Griffin, who was now too slow to hit the basket and distributes the ball to Gasol Jr. in the middle, and Chandler made up for it again. Chandler's awareness is top-notch, whether it's a single defense or a co-defense.

Seeing that the 24 seconds were running out, Ray Allen missed the basket in the face of Green's defense, and the rebound was grabbed by Chandler.

Carlisle clasped his hands on the sidelines with a serious expression, the Mavericks are not easy to play, and the Clippers' defense is better than them.
