After the game against the Suns, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles, where they are about to play their first home game of the new season at Staples Arena, where the Clippers' home stadium will be held for the next five years according to the contract signed between Sterling and the Lakers.

The Clippers' first opponent back in Los Angeles was the Dallas Mavericks, whose head coach was legendary coach 'Mad Scientist' Nelson Sr., who acquired Dirk last year through a draft and trade. Nowitzki and Stephen. Nash, plus new star guard Michael. Finley, the calves are starting to show signs of recovery.

The Mavericks are a team that is strong offensively and weak defensively, which has a lot to do with their head coach Nelson Sr.'s advocacy of offense, and the Clippers' founding philosophy is to pursue a balance between offense and defense, which is the unanimous idea of Coach Tiger and Fingery, and there is a saying in the NBA: offense wins fans, defense wins championships. Tiger was greedy and decided to do both, he wanted both.

November 10, 1999, Stamp Arena in Los Angeles, today's stadium attendance is not low, this is the benefit of big cities, the audience may not be Clippers fans, but this does not affect them to come to the scene to watch the game, so the Clippers ticket sales are not bad, although their record in the previous years is not good, but the team's income is higher than that of some small city teams, which is one of the reasons why Sterling did not plan to sell the Clippers at the beginning.

Although the future Nuo Tianwang and Nash are NBA superstar-level figures, but now they are just newcomers who have just entered the league, the core of the Mavericks team at this stage is Finley, Coach Bill Fitch has played against Nelson Sr. many times, and is very familiar with him, so when arranging tactics, the focus is on requiring Bierups to slow down the pace of offense and play more positional offense. The lineup has been adjusted again: center Odman, power forward Rodman, small forward Tiger, scoring guard Raga, point guard Bierups, and Coach Fitch promoted Raga Belle to the starting lineup, specifically targeting Michael Finley.

At the beginning of the game, Tiger stood in the position of small forward today, after graduating from high school, he appeared in this position for the first time, there was a familiar and complicated feeling, before the game, Tiger specifically talked to Coach Fitch about the current Mavericks, Tiger believes that the biggest weakness of the Mavericks now is the defense, and the biggest hole in the defense is Stephen Nash.

Birubs slowly dribbled the ball, Tiger walked slowly in the high post, Xiao Ao walked in the low post, when there were 10 seconds left in the offensive time, Bi Rupps started to break through, Tiger at the same time, a reverse run came to the bottom line, Birumps feintmed, made a gesture to pass the ball to Xiao Ao, the attention of the Mavericks' players was immediately attracted by Xiao Ao, but the ball crossed Xiao Ao, to the Tiger behind him, Tiger took a step back after receiving the ball, came to the three-point line, and the player in front of him was far away, raised his hand to shoot, The whole action is very fast and smooth, the opposing player did not have time to react at all, and at the same time as the ball was shot, Tiger's right hand shot a 3-point action in the air, and Tiger had a confident smile on his face, which is the feeling. Three points at a zero degree angle, Tiger has an unreasonable accuracy in this position, and today's first shot made him very satisfied with today's hand.

Mavericks offense, Nash played well today, I have to say that Nash has a high talent in organizing offense, the current Nash and the peak of Nashby, in addition to experience, there is also a very important point, that is, confidence, but what remains unchanged is his poor defense. Looking at Nash running on the field, Coach Fitch strengthened his determination to hit Nash, and grasped the opponent's weakness to attack to the end, which Coach Fitch liked the most.

After Ragabel arrived at the Clippers, he exchanged a lot of defensive experience with Bowen and Jackson, so that the defense of the three people has improved a lot, Bowen's defense is mainly 'entanglement', Jackson's defense is mainly 'top', Raga's defense is mainly 'wild', he is like a mad dog many times, pounces on the other party, there is a kind of hatred, this ruthlessness makes many players who are defended by him very uncomfortable, and his main task today is to defend Finley. Nash passed the ball to Finley who ran out of the gap, Raga flew up directly, waved with both hands, and his body almost wanted to hold Finley into his arms, in the face of Raga's sudden movements, Finley was stunned for 1 second, but this 1 second, let the ball in his hand be waved by Raga and slapped out, while Tiger who was ready to help defend at any time, picked up the basketball, quickly dribbled the ball, after half the court, after the basket, he did not choose to go to the basket, but threw the ball high, ran back quickly Xiao Ao, jumped high, and caught the ball in the air, Insert the basketball into the hoop. The audience around them stood up and gave applause and cheers to this wonderful air relay.

The referee blows the whistle and signals that the goal is valid. The old Nelson coach on the sidelines quit, he could see that in the face of such a Laga who didn't care about fouls and didn't want to die, Finley played very restrained, Finley is a new star in the league, and he pays great attention to his own protection. The old Nelson coach on the sidelines complained loudly to the referee, and Coach Fitch stood aside and retorted loudly, until the last two coaches gave up the referee and quarreled on the sidelines, and the spectators around the audience whistled, and finally the referee reluctantly suspended the game and patiently persuaded the two legendary coaches back to the bench.

Coach Fitch, who returned to the bench, shouted to Ragabel: "Well done lad! Just tear them apart, it's your style, you didn't mean to hurt anyone, they questioned you, just because they were jealous. Come on! ”

Coach Fitch's voice was very loud, and there was a technical table between the benches of the two teams, the referee suspended the game, and the players gathered on the sidelines, so the Mavericks players heard Coach Fitch's words and couldn't help but complain in their hearts: It turned out that their coach was too rogue and taught the players badly. ”

Coach Fitch then took advantage of this opportunity to order a new tactic, while suppressing the rhythm, whoever faced Nash would attack, and let Xiao Ao and Rodman pay attention to rebounding.

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, the Clippers led the Mavericks by 6 points at home 22:16, because Coach Fitch deliberately let the Clippers slow down the pace, the score was ugly, there were few highlights, the only bright spot in the first quarter was the aerial relay between Tiger and Xiao O, and of course, the two coaches quarreled on the sidelines.

In the second quarter, the Clippers changed to a bench lineup: center Wright, power forward Skinner, small forward Wang Zhizhi, scoring guard Jackson, and point guard Bierups. The height of this lineup is very high, but there are not many offensive points, Coach Fitch also left Bierups on the court, he wants to use Bierups to press the rhythm on the court, use this tall lineup to drop the position little by little, and wear down the Mavericks' sharpness, in the face of this somewhat scoundrel lineup, the Mavericks' fast offensive basketball can not play at all.
