Los Angeles Clippers, after the start of the new season, the Clippers have achieved 9 wins in 9 games, ranking first in the league, but there are still people who question the moisture in the record, and this game with the Portland Trail Blazers is considered to test the true strength of the Clippers A game, Clippers Coach Bilfitch also attaches great importance to this game, for which the last game specially hid the team's core Tiger to prepare for this away back-to-back game.

And this game also attracted a lot of attention, a large number of Portland fans came to the scene, cheering for the home team, in the stadium where life is boiling, various media have made preparations, and the commentator of N, who broadcast the game in the United States, has also begun to analyze and predict before the game.

"Hello to the audience in front of the TV! Here is the 2000-2001 NBA regular season brought to you by N, this game is the Portland Trail Blazers home game against the Los Angeles Clippers, with the Los Angeles Clippers two seasons of sudden rise, they have gradually become the focus of the United States, and the Portland Trail Blazers have always been the NBA's old powerhouse, strong, this will be a contest between the old and new teams, today we specially invited the legendary star Rick Barry and me to explain for you. ”

"Hello audience friends! I'm Rick Barry and it's a pleasure to meet you all again. ”

"Rick, did you watch the last Los Angeles Clippers game against the Minnesota Timberwolves? After that game, many people thought that the Los Angeles Clippers could already rank in the top 5 in the NBA, what do you think about that? ”

"Yes, this game is the focus of the recent game, it's hard for me not to know, now everyone is talking about that game, before the game, when I saw the starting lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers, I felt that Coach Bill Fitch was carried away by the victory and had gone from self-confidence to arrogance, but as soon as the game started, I knew I was wrong, the Ginobili of the Los Angeles Clippers were really good, his breakthrough was very concrete, he had the quality to be in the starting lineup, I looked through the Los Angeles Clippers roster after the game, and I was shocked. Rick Barry's eyes widened with an exaggerated expression.

N's narrator was amused by Rick Barry's expression, but was very professional in helping Rick Barry create the atmosphere. "Shocked? Man, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but we all know how the NBA players perform every year. ”

"No, no, man, have you noticed the Los Angeles Clippers' perimeter players?" Rick Barry said, shaking his head.

"Of course, Tiger Washington, Billups, Stephen Jackson and Ginobili, you just mentioned, each of them has a lot of personal ability."

"These are all things that you said in the media recently, and they are all strong, which is not wrong, but you ignore the others." Rick Barry deliberately left a choke.

"Others?"

"Yes, Bruce Bowen, Ragabel, I think you are familiar with these two names! Both of them came to the Los Angeles Clippers last season, Ragabel appeared in everyone's field of vision in one fell swoop for defending Payton, and Bruce Bowen was the best choice to defend Kobe, everyone was paying attention to the offensive ability of the Los Angeles Clippers before, but ignoring their defense, you must know that offense wins the audience, defense wins championships, and without defense, the Los Angeles Clippers may be one of the best teams in the regular season, but if you want to go further in the playoffs, defense must be the key, So when I looked at their roster, I was shocked to see that they already have a lot of perimeter defense, and now I think they're going to be a strong contender for the championship this season. ”

"Oh! Man, to hear you say that, you're very bullish on the Los Angeles Clippers, do you think they already have what it takes to compete for a championship? ”

"Of course, the Los Angeles Clippers are very strong on the outside, relying on this they will be a strong contender for the championship, but these are not enough, I am not optimistic that they can achieve the final victory, so I say they are strong contenders, Los Angeles Clippers' Jermaine O'Neal is growing fast, but this is not enough, they need to strengthen the interior strength, especially against the Los Angeles Lakers, but I think there is still time, the manager of the Los Angeles Clippers should hurry up and trade an interior star for the teamAs Rodman gets older, the starting power forward position for the Los Angeles Clippers hasn't been fixed this season, and I think maybe there will be a new trade in the league soon, but of course that's just my guess. ”

"Man, I think you have a point, let's look forward to it! The starting lists of both sides have come out, let's take a look at this game first, who will be the starting power forward of the Los Angeles Clippers! ”

"Hmmm! Los Angeles Clippers: Center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Wright, small forward Stephen Jackson, scoring guard Tiger, point guard Billups. Portland Trail Blazers: Center Rasheed Wallace, power forward Odom, small forward Pippen, scoring guard Bunch Wells, point guard Damon Staudemeyre. I think it's pretty good, what do you think about the starting line-ups for both sides? ”

"This lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers is a lineup they use more often this season, and the performance is not bad, a bit like the San Antonio Spurs' inner twin towers, but it is much less powerful, but it is the best choice now. As for the Portland Trail Blazers, Sabonis did not start today, I don't know what Coach Dunleavy is thinking about, Odom and Bunch Wells are growing up very quickly, and it is reasonable to enter the starter, depending on their performance in the game, just looking at this list, I think the strength of the two teams is very close, and there is no problem with the starters of both sides. ”

"Alright! Overall, it's going to be a great game, there's a lot to watch, players from both sides have come to the field, let's all walk into the game and watch the game together! (To be continued.) )
