Facing Qin Zheng, when Gomez jumped the ball, he just jumped lightly, he knew that the jump ball was not Qin Zheng's opponent at all, so it was better to save some strength and hurry back to the defense.
After Qin Zheng received Davis's pass, he stood in the position and prepared to have a hand-to-hand fight with Gomez, after two feints, Gomez was shaken away by Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng turned around and made a hook hand, "Dang!" "The basketball hit the basket and collapsed.
"Mine!" Seeing this, Qin Zheng jumped directly and grabbed the rebound, and after grabbing the rebound, Qin Zheng directly came to make up for the dunk, even if Gomez was by his side.
2:0, this time Qin Zheng's supplementary dunk is still very stable, this side the Timberwolves began to attack, and their first offensive goal was still handed to Al Jefferson.
The Clippers have already played games with the Timberwolves, but this time Qin Zheng still feels a little different, as if his rhythm is half a beat slower and he can't interfere with Jefferson well.
With Jefferson's mid-range shot, the Timberwolves tied the score 2-2.
"Byron, run in a minute." Qin Zheng and Davis said that after two days of rest, the physical strength of the Clippers players is still abundant.
When the Clippers attacked, Qin Zheng began to organize an offense, and Gordon quickly threw off Hollins and ran out of the open space, Qin Zheng's pass arrived, and Gordon received the ball and threw it, hitting the iron.
Qin Zheng blocked Jefferson, snatched the rebound in his hand again, and then threw it to Butler.
Not enough Butler didn't give Qin Zheng face, "Damn it! Seeing Butler hit the iron, Qin Zheng scolded, this time he didn't grab the rebound, and the rebound was grabbed by Gomez of the Timberwolves.
This time, no one asked him what he meant by anything special, and the Clippers started with 1-of-4 shooting, which wasn't a great situation.
The Timberwolves' offense was still handed over to Jefferson, Qin Zheng's defense was still half a beat slower, and Jefferson once again made a mid-range shot in front of Qin Zheng, and even after Jefferson shot, he felt a little incredible, you must know that the last time he played against Qin Zheng, it was not so easy.
Butler served, Davis dribbled the ball across the half court, and then handed it to Qin Zheng, the Clippers players still began to run, the Timberwolves' defense was much worse than the Celtics' defense, so the three on the outside were always able to run out of the open position easily, but what followed was the iron again and again.
Davis misses a three-pointer, Gordon misses a three-pointer, Butler's mid-range shot hits iron, and Gordon's breakaway shot hits an iron.
On the other hand, the Timberwolves are much better, although they don't hit the ball, but the shooting rate is much higher than that of the Clippers.
After half a quarter of the game, Dunleavy felt that he was going to suffer, but he couldn't blame anyone, if he wanted to blame God, who let him have a day of blizzards, so the Clippers couldn't come yesterday, and they only came by plane at noon today, by plane, by bus, the Clippers players didn't have a chance to rest at all, and the temperature in Minnesota was too cold.
When he got off the plane, Dunleavy almost froze off his ears.
"Forget it, if it doesn't work, replace the substitute players, replace the main players, and save injuries." At this point, Dunleavy is still a close relative.
After the warm-up of the half-quarter game, the situation of the Clippers in the second half of the game was a little better, but it still didn't become as usual, and it still kept hitting iron, but not as often as it did at the beginning.
After the first quarter of the game, Dunleavy glanced at the data, 12 minutes, the Clippers shot 22 basketballs, but hit 6, but there were 6 free throws, and scored 20 points, but after a glance at the opposite Timberwolves scored 38 points, Dunleavy couldn't be happy.
Dunleavy has a bad premonition that he slaughtered the Nets in the last game, and this time he won't be slaughtered by the Timberwolves!
"Byron, ball." After the start of the second quarter of the game, after Qin Zheng found that his shooting didn't seem to be very good, he began to pass the ball frequently.
But whether it's a pass to Davis, a pass to Gordon, or a pass to Carman on the inside, or the same shot becomes iron, as if the Clippers have forgotten to bring the touch of the whole team, as if their touch was used up in the last game against the Nets.
Qin Zheng, who had no choice, had no choice but to strengthen his offense, "Since this is the case, Lao Tzu can only attack under the basket." "Since you can't shoot the basketball, let's start dunking.
Qin Zheng, who had made up his mind, began to ask for the ball in the paint area and began to beat Jefferson strongly, not to mention that Qin Zheng's move was still effective.
I have to say that the role of an excellent center is like this, when the shooting of the whole team fails, he needs to step up, and the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage, it is true, otherwise it can't explain that the future Jordan Jr. only has a 43% free throw shooting rate, but the overall shooting rate is as high as 70%, because he basically dunks.
Under the basket, Qin Zheng hit Jefferson three times in a row, dunked three times, and made a Jefferson foul by the way.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Qin Zheng found that the referee's whistle was harsh on himself, and Jefferson turned a blind eye to his small movements, but he could be blown foul as long as he moved a little bigger.
After two fouls in a row, Dunleavy also understood the situation, and replaced Qin Zheng and Carman with Jordan Jr. and Camby.
Then whispered to Little Jordan, since you came to this trick, I don't care about any face.
Jefferson attacked with the ball, and just as he was shooting, Camby directly gave him a slap, or a hard slap, Qin Zheng heard it even if he was sitting on the long side.
The Clippers also did the most on the bench, fouling me hard if they fouled, and breaking their arms if they could.
In the remaining five minutes of the second quarter, Camby and Jordan Jr. gave the Timberwolves six fouls, an average of three fouls each.
But their fouls paid off, with Gomez and Jefferson hitting at least four of their 12 free throws.
By half-time, Dunleavy had a little regret, if they played like this, they would have been sent off in the second half, and they would still have to start the game.
Seeing that the gap in the score has come to 26 points, Dunleavy decided to give up this game, and it doesn't matter if he strategically gives up a game, that is the loss The Clippers are still in first place in the West, but the lead is only 1 win. (To be continued.) )
