Through the preseason, Coach Fitch determined the team's starting and rotational lineups, and after signing several undrafted players, the team pieced together a 13-man roster with 11 main rotations. Center: Jermaine O'Neal, Wright, power forward: Rodman, Wang Zhizhi, Skinner, small forward: Stephen Jackson, Bruce Bowen, scoring guard: Tiger, Ginobili, point guard: Chauncey Birubes, Ragabel, the remaining two players, were put on the injury list by Coach Fitch.

On November 5, 1999, the Clippers came to San Antonio to play away against the defending champion Spurs, the Spurs just defeated the 76ers in the opener on November 2, and today the Lakers will play the Kings at home in Staples, which is also the first game of the new season, the Lakers have attracted all the attention of Los Angeles, but the Clippers can only start their journey in San Antonio in obscurity.

At the beginning of the game, the Clippers fielded a surprise lineup: center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Tiger HSD small forward Stephen Jackson, scoring guard Manuginobili, and point guard Chaunci Birumps. Rodman didn't start, and Tiger came as a surprise to Coach Popovich for the first time in a power forward position in an official game.

The Spurs attacked, Tiger followed Duncan's side, and the Spurs commentator on the scene shouted, "Oh! What do I see? Tiger hsd defends our Tim, oh my! The Clippers are crazy, the height difference between them is so great that Tim can do whatever he wants under the basket. ”

After Rodman's words and deeds, Tiger is no longer Wuxia Amon, facing Duncan, his height is not advantageous, Tiger gave up the previous gentleman's basketball, and greeted each other with various small actions. "Man, you're starting to learn badly, and tricks like topping your thighs and pulling your pants have come out." Duncan reacted and glared at Tiger with wide eyes.

"Hey, hey! Who made us not tall enough! This is a move that Dennis has taught me for a long time, how is it practical? "Tiger has thickened his face by Rodman.

Ao is still very immature in front of David Robinson, and the Spurs still dominate the basket. When it came to the Clippers' offense, the Spurs paid great attention to the passing route between Tiger and Birubs according to the pre-game arrangement, but today Tiger completely handed over the ball, and Ginobili broke through directly to the basket after Tiger and Xiao Ao opened up space for him, and completed a dunk.

The Clippers' style of play was a bit unexpected by the Spurs, Tiger completely conceded possession, blocked for Ginobili, and the running position gave Ginobili enough space to make the Spurs unable to limit the Clippers' offense for a while. Neither Popovich nor Fitch called a timeout on the sidelines, and the scores of the two sides kept tight.

With an official timeout of the 6-minute first quarter, Popovich replaced David Robinson to give the veteran time to rest, and the Spurs had the confidence to rotate. At the end of the timeout, the Clippers' lineup was also adjusted, with Rodman at center, Wang Zhizhi at power forward, Bowen replacing Jackson, Tiger at point guard, and Billups at point guard.

Although Rodman is not young, his strength is still in the top few in the NBA, he began to contain Duncan under the basket, Tiger replaced Ginobili and began to break through, Wang Zhizhi was responsible for blocking and dismantling, Bowen and Birubs ran without the ball, if the Clippers in the first 6 minutes of the first quarter, the main point of attack was Ginobili, then the main point of attack in the last 6 minutes was Wang Zhizhi, Rodman was responsible for basket containment and rebounding, Wang Zhizhi floated on the outside to shoot, Tiger was responsible for organization, Birubs and Bowen were responsible for letting go of the cold gun.

The first quarter of the Sailors was completely a performance of two rookies, which was beyond Popovich's expectations, and he turned his head to look at Bilfitch on the bench of the Clippers, the veteran sat there with a calm face, making Popovich a little confused, the other party's thoughts.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led the Spurs by 6 points, and the difference of 6 points in the NBA was negligible, and the players on both sides did not care. At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Clippers changed their formation again, center Xiao Ao, big forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Jackson, scoring guard Ginobili, point guard Ragabel, Tiger and Bierups were all replaced, the Spurs replaced Duncan, giving Duncan, who played the first quarter, time to rest, but after the game started, Popovich was a little depressed, and the Spurs' substitute center was completely blown up by Xiao Ao, although Xiao Ao was inexperienced, but in the face of the general center, his physical talent advantage was fully displayed.

Popovich called a timeout and made some adjustments, but he couldn't limit the Clippers' two offensive routines inside and out, and the score was stretched to 10 points. In the sixth minute of the second quarter, Bilfitch called a timeout and replaced Wang Zhizhi and Jackson with Rodman and Bowen. Fitch's move gave Popovich a bad premonition, but the Spurs' hard power was incomparable to the Clippers, and in the end, Popovich resisted the urge to change to the main force and decided to play a decisive battle in the third quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Clippers entered the locker room with a 14-point advantage, and the lead in the first half made the players feel good, get together and chat, before the start of the second half, Coach Fitch arranged the tactics of the second half, and praised O'Neal Jr.'s performance by name, and O'Neal Jr. raised his chin to Rodman very stinkily. Rodman directly chose to ignore it, due to O'Neal Jr.'s personality, Rodman and Fitch played red and white faces respectively, Rodman was responsible for suppression, Fitch was responsible for encouragement, and the two cooperated tacitly, and O'Neal Jr. was obedient and played on the court completely according to Fitch's arrangement.

"Lads! Everyone knows that today is the opening game of the Lakers and Staples Arena, they are the center of the whole of Los Angeles, no one remembers that there is a team in Los Angeles called the Clippers, tomorrow the major media in Los Angeles will only report the Lakers' first game of the season, we will only be selectively forgotten. Will you be able to accept this outcome? Fitch said loudly as he stood in front of the players.
