In the cheers of the fans, the game finally began, Jermaine O'Neal won the priority offensive right for the Clippers in the jump ball, Billups dribbled to the three-point line, did not find a breakthrough line, and passed the basketball to Tiger, the player who was opposite Tiger today was Bunch Wells, who entered the NBA in the same year as him, in the face of Bunch Wells' opposing defense, Tiger appeared very confident, a feint shook the opponent, easily came to the basket, made a shooting feint, Odom immediately jumped the ball to block, Tiger took the opportunity to hand the ball to Wright, who was already empty, and Wright took a step into the three-second zone after receiving the ball, jumped up and dunked the ball in, scoring two points for the team. The offensive tactics of the Clippers www.biquge.info are always simple blocking, breaking, and covering, but there are not many teams that can really limit them in the game, Tiger's breakthrough is the biggest killer, the technical movements are done in one go, the movements are as smooth and natural as flowing water, and the most rare thing is that in these actions, there are also changes in rhythm, which makes everything more deceptive.

The Portland Trail Blazers sent the baseline ball, Damon Stoudemire dribbled, took the basketball across the half court, and handed it to Pippen for organization, but the basketball stopped in Pippen's hands, and the Clippers had a tacit change of defense with the outside three, and everyone could form a certain limit on Pippen in defense, which is also the reason why the Clippers used to use a 3-2 joint defense when playing the Portland Trail Blazers, Pippen, who could not find an offensive route, could only return the ball to Damon Staudemire again, and Staudemire dribbled the ball and broke through in front of Billups, Near the free throw line, the basketball was put in the hands of Rasheed Wallace, after Rasheed Wallace received the ball, he half-turned and jumped, Jermaine O'Neal jumped up and blocked, the basketball bounced on the basket a few times, and was rebounded by Wright, and the Portland Trail Blazers players immediately returned to defense, but it was still a step too late, and the Clippers completed a quick counterattack again.

The Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers met 4 times last season, with a 3-1 record, which is a surprising record, in everyone's perception, the Portland Trail Blazers are higher than the Los Angeles Clippers in terms of strength, but those who really understand the ball will find that the Los Angeles Clippers lineup is very restrained by the Portland Trail Blazers, one is the Clippers' invincible fast offensive counterattack, the other is the Clippers' outside defense, 3-2 joint defense has now been recognized by the league, Many teams have also used this tactic in the game, but in the face of the Portland Trail Blazers, who are recognized as the most afraid of joint defense, other teams have not achieved the expected effect, it can be seen that this simple tactic, the requirements for defensive players are not low, the Clippers' three outside lines not only have a strong individual single defense ability, in the change of defense and co-defense, it is not comparable to ordinary defensive players, especially the tacit understanding between the three, in this tactic to the extreme, not like other teams, will be in the rapid change of defense, There is overlap or inadequacy, which is the main reason why the Clippers have restrained the Portland Trail Blazers.

"Rick, there was a bit of a surprise in this game, after the opening, the Los Angeles Clippers were obviously more active on the court, can you tell us why?"

"The Los Angeles Clippers have a lot of restrictions on Scott Pippen, which is the key point for them to have an advantage, Pippen is the offensive initiator of the Portland Trail Blazers, limiting Pippen's passing is equivalent to limiting the Portland Trail Blazers' main offensive route, and so far in the game, the Portland Trail Blazers' interior advantage has not been played at all, Odom's performance is not mature enough, this is a problem that young players have, too easy to eat feints, Rasheed Wallace also fell behind in the confrontation with Jermaine O'Neal, I think Coach Dunleavy should have adjusted, and without Sabonis' inside containment, the Portland Trail Blazers lost their advantage. Rick Barry was very objective in his thoughts.

"Oh! Speaking of the inside, the Portland Trail Blazers are Jermaine O'Neal's old club, last season, they were traded to the Clippers by the Los Angeles Clippers with the No. 4 pick in the first round, and Odom on the court was selected by the No. 4 pick to the Portland Trail Blazers, which is a very interesting place, what do you think? "N's narrator is starting to gloat a little.

Jermaine O'Neal's growth is really fast, it has been beyond many people's expectations, he was a bench player in the Portland Trail Blazers for 3 years, and has not been reused, at that time this transaction was seen by everyone as a loss for the Los Angeles Clippers, but only one season later, Jermaine O'Neal used his performance to make people overturn this conclusion, his physical talent is really strong, height and arm span, have reached an amazing level, coupled with increasingly mature basket foot, Let him play among the many centers in the league, last season's playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Lakers game, so that Jermaine O'Neal completed the transformation, I heard that Jermaine O'Neal was taught by Dennis Rodman, which surprised me, this is not in line with Rodman's style, but anyway, going to the Los Angeles Clippers is an important turning point in Jermaine O'Neal's basketball career, and it is also the beginning of his road to superstardom. ”

"But when you started, you didn't seem to say that."

"Yes, I said that the Los Angeles Clippers are lacking on the inside, and I still think so, they still lack a strong power forward, they are strong right now, but if they want to compete for a championship, they will have to face the San Antonio Twin Towers, the Los Angeles Lakers' big sharks, these teams with strong interior lines, and now these are not enough."

Rick Barry is right, the Clippers' current interior line is indeed not enough for them to compete for the championship, Coach Bill Fitch also understands this, but he is not in a hurry, because the Clippers also have a forgotten interior killer, he is now letting Wright play the two-tower tactic on the court, which is to prepare for future games and let the team adapt to this tactic in advance, which cannot be said to outsiders now, of course, no one will believe it even if he says it, but in this game, the combination of Wright and Jermaine O'Neal is enough, Since the start of the new season, the Clippers have been on a rhy, and they are proceeding according to the plan made before the start of the season, and as long as there are no major surprises, Bilfitch is confident that he will challenge for the championship this season.

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, Coach Dunleavy replaced Sabonis in the second half of the first quarter to increase the interior defense, which allowed Rasheed Wallace to be liberated, but still 7 points behind the Clippers in the score, and the 36-year-old Sabonis is also at the age of retirement, and his form has declined greatly this season, which is why Coach Dunleavy did not put him in the starting line.
