After the start of the game, both sides sent their strongest lineups, Clippers: center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Dennis Rodman, small forward Stephen Jackson, scoring guard Tiger Washington, point guard Chauncy Billups. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 INFO Lakers: Center Shaq O'Neal, power forward Robert Hawley, small forward Glen Rice, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Derrick Fisher.
Jermaine O'Neal of the Clippers took the lead in the jump ball link, helping the Clippers get the opportunity to attack first, Billups quickly advanced the ball, has been playing a long routine, appeared on the court again, in the case that the Lakers have not fully defended, Tiger has received a pass from Billups and sent the ball to the basket, Kobe Bryant is not very happy about this, he is completely opposite to Tiger in this game, and Tiger scored a goal at the beginning, Kobe Bryant immediately wanted to fight back, It's just that the Lakers' first offense was completed by the safer Shaq O'Neal.
In fact, after Tiger spared no effort to provoke, Kobe Bryant has begun to have some small cracks between him and Shaq O'Neal, but the two who have not won the championship are still working hard for a common goal, so it did not show up, but Kobe Bryant was on the court in this game, obviously a little sticky, seeing some of Kobe's performances, Tiger began to provoke Kobe on the offensive end, breakthroughs, pull-up jump shots, Kobe's best technical moves, Tiger did not pull all in front of Kobe, However, in the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant endured.
However, before the second quarter of the game, Tiger specially pulled the upcoming Ginobili and whispered, so after Ginobili came on the court, he began to continue Tiger's approach, Kobe Bryant was left on the court after the start of the second quarter, and played with the Lakers' rotation lineup, but in the face of Ginobili's provocation, Kobe Bryant immediately couldn't bear it, Ginobili and Tiger are different, Ginobili who entered the NBA in the first year is still an unknown rookie, Kobe is completely ignorant, and Shaq O'Neal is now sitting on the court to rest, Kobe Bryant immediately began to fight back against Ginobili and started the singles mode on the offensive end, but the Clippers' lineup is significantly different from the starting lineup, Bruce Bowen defends the main defense, Ragabel assists in the defense, in front of the two strongest defenders of the Clippers, Kobe's offensive success rate is not high, with Kobe Bryant's iron again, Wright took the rebound, the Clippers immediately launched a fast attack successfully, and Phil Jackson finally replaced the black-faced Kobe Bryant.
Although Kobe Bryant entered the league earlier than Tiger, but mentally, there is still no way to compare with Tiger, although Tiger seems very naïve when facing many problems in life, but on the court, because there are more memories that others do not have, so he is more mature than many players, in his last life as a fan of Kobe, Tiger knows Kobe's situation in each period very well, and grasps this point, restricts Kobe, and completely has a feeling of loving and killing each other.
At the end of the second quarter, the Clippers led the Lakers by 6 points 48-42, although the difference was not large, but it once again showed the strength of the Clippers' bench lineup. The commentators of the major media in the broadcast room also have to lament the changes in the Clippers this year.
"Ervin, now that the first half is over and the Clippers are six points ahead of the Lakers, do you have any thoughts on that score?" In N's live broadcast room, N's commentator asked Johnson, the magician next to him.
"It's not a big difference, but the Clippers' bench lineup is really good, they not only tied the score behind in the first quarter, but also gave the Clippers a 6-point lead, I have to say that this is a surprising result, this year's sixth person winner Manu Ginobili played very well, he and Tiger Washington's technical characteristics are very similar, the Clippers are like having two Tiger Washington, constantly impacting the opponent's defense, he is a non-American guard player, so the whole league is surprised, The Clippers picked him in the second round, and it has to be said that they have picked up a treasure. Magic Johnson objectively praised Ginobili's performance.
"So do you think the Clippers have any hope of winning this game?"
"Oh! It's hard to guy, 6 points is a point difference that can be ignored, the strength of the Clippers is very far from the Lakers, although they have performed well this year, but against the strong Lakers, I think their good luck has run out. "The Lakers are really supporters of the Lakers.
"Oh! Man, you're very tendentious, but Erwin, what do you expect the two teams to score? ”
“4:0! The Clippers don't stand a chance at all, and I think this will be the least suspenseful and difficult game of the second round. I think the Clippers will lose their ability to resist at the end of the third quarter, and the gap between them is insurmountable. ”
Magic Johnson is not optimistic about the Clippers, and even thinks that it is difficult for the Clippers to hold on to the fourth quarter, but he was wrong this time, after the start of the third quarter, both sides changed to the starting lineup, Shaq O'Neal is still strong and desperate, but the outside of the Clippers is not to be outdone, Tiger changed the singles mode in the first quarter, and Stephen Johnson, Chauncey Billups The three played a lot of wonderful cooperation on the outside, and the three of them felt very good today, alternating frequent shots on the outside, at the end of the third quarter of the game, The Clippers even had a three-point lead.
"Yetwin, it's clear that your prediction was a complete failure, and the Clippers not only didn't lose their ability to resist, but they also led by three points."
"Yes, it's a bit of a surprise, but basketball games can happen at any time, the Clippers have a good touch in the third quarter, but the touch is hard to maintain, and when they lose their hot touch, the winner of the game will be revealed, and I still believe that the Lakers will win the game, there's no doubt about it." Although he was slapped in the face, Magic Johnson is still more optimistic about the Lakers.
"Ervin, although you were optimistic about the Lakers at the beginning of the game, I have a different opinion, I think since the game can be unexpected at any time, why can't the accident of this game be the Clippers win?" N's commentator is a fan of Tiger, which is also a well-known thing in the United States, although he often favors the Clippers and Tiger when he commentates, but many people like his tune, so now he has always been N's commentator, commenting on all games related to Tiger Washington, and now in the face of Magic Johnson's unsparing support for the Lakers, this commentator finally can't help but fight back.
