The two brothers started this year's finals with an aerial relay, which was very bad for the Celtics, 2 points is nothing, but Pierce was faced by Ji Guosha, which is a big problem.

When Ji Guoyi played in the finals last season, he didn't break through with the ball, and at most he made a big three-step layup on the wing and free throw line, and the threat was not particularly big.

But this season, Ji has become one of the league's top ball-handling players, and he has a star-level frontal offensive ability, coupled with his height and long-range shooting, which allows him to match or even surpass Stoudemire's offensive ability.

The Fox will break through, and the Panda will shoot three-pointers, which may seem like no big deal, but for the defensive side, such a change makes it exponentially more difficult to defend the Clippers, and "three-pointers" and "break-throughs" are not just as simple as they sound, they are qualitative changes.

Charles. Barkley laughed: "We all know that the Fox brother has always boasted that he is the best No. 4 in the league this year, and we don't care if he brags or not, but if you really find an active No. 4 player in the league who is a stronger offensive threat than him, I don't think you can find it." ”

Kenny. Smith also said: "It's true, after Duncan and Garnett are old, only Nowitzki and Stoudemire are still at the peak of a certain distance, but these two are not young anymore, one is not as good as the fox brother in front of the ball, the other has minimally invasive knee surgery, and the athleticism is not as good as the fox brother. ”

The first quarter of the game was completely a personal performance by Ji Guoyi, and his breakthrough with the ball made Garnett tired to deal with. That's what old Dunleavy wants to see the most. Garnett was too important to the Celtics. As long as Ji Guoyi can consume the Wolf King's body as much as possible on the offensive end, the loss of the Celtics cannot be compensated.

The embarrassment of the Celtics is not that Ji Guosha can't be prevented, Rondo's three-point shot of 0 of 3 is the real reason for the pain of Green Army fans.

The Clippers' strategy today is to put the Green Army point guard to shoot outside the three-point line, and Billups gave Rondo two big strides to shoot, but this pre-game vow, the Green Army point guard who wants to be ashamed just can't shoot it, and the anxious Rivers is spinning around, eager to go up and do it for himself.

End of the first session. The score was 26:18, the Celtics were in a dilemma at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, unable to prevent Ji Guosha, and the weakness of the point guard's inaccurate shooting was targeted again, such a bad start.

Ji Guoqiu got 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Ji Guoqiu had 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, and Billups had 6 points and 2 assists.

Garnett had 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Pierce had 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. Allen had 3 points, and Rondo had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Glenn. Davis 4 points.

The Clippers also had some problems in the first quarter, and Crawford began to slump in the Western Conference Finals. Now this sluggish form has continued to the finals, facing Tony. Allen's defense, Crawford is as lost as the Cavaliers' backcourt, missing all 2 shots in the first quarter, and a passing error, once again verifying the regular season brush, which is really unreliable when playing tough games in the playoffs.

Many fans feel that Jr. Smith, Crawford, Nick. Young's salary is too low, but NBA teams and player agents are not stupid, and since they take this salary, there must be flaws.

It also explains why Bunch. Wells only played five good games in the playoffs, and he was able to sit on the ground and ask the Kings for a contract with an annual salary of 10 million, and the Kings really planned to open it to him, just because he could play at that level in the face of the Spurs in 07, which is worth tens of millions of annual salaries.

Artest is also an example, if the beast is still with the Clippers this season, this year's championship may really be no suspense.

Before the start of the second quarter, Rivers threw away the tactical board in his hand and encouraged the Celtics players in his infectious voice: "Forget the damn tactics, forget the damn pressure, you can beat them, all you have to do is believe in yourself and believe in your teammates." Speaking of which, Rivers looked at Rondo and said solemnly, "Rajan, I'll ask them to give you the basketball, and then your task is to shoot me, 'I'll be able to shoot next time,' and repeat it now." ”

Rondo really didn't have anything to say, and shouted loudly when he heard the words: "Next time I'll definitely be able to shoot that damn basketball in." ”

Garnett put his big hand on Rondo's head and encouraged: "Boy, your talent is no worse than anyone else's, and you read this sentence in your heart when you shoot, and we all trust you." ”

Rondo has no expression on his face, he still looks like everyone owes him money, but he is very grateful to his coach and teammates, which is why he has learned to learn humbly, although Garnett is hateful in the eyes of his opponents and very strict with his teammates, but he is indeed a good leader and will give serious advice to the younger players, provided that you have talent first.

In the second quarter, both teams sent substitute lineups.

Clippers second echelon: Dragic, Crawford, Barnes, Almi. Johnson, Jordan Jr.

Celtics' second echelon: Rajan. Rondo, Tony. Aaron, Al. Thorton, Glenn. Davis, Mickey. Moore.

The Clippers' starting lineup has nothing to say, the bench lineup also played well in the regular season, which makes people feel that they have no weaknesses, but in the playoffs, in addition to the first round of the table xiàn is good, then these bench tables began to plummet, and by the Western Conference finals, they have been completely scolded by Clippers fans to the CBA level.

Crawford is the key to this lineup, and as long as he can score, the Clippers are not afraid, but the Celtics have a Toney. Laren, whose defense completely blocked Crawford.

Rondo faced Dragic and didn't really shoot three points paranoid like a stupid hat, at this time, of course, he had to break through to the inside line to score points, and it was rare for the twin brothers to be absent from the court, and this opportunity could not be missed.

The elder Dunleavy saw Rondo use the breakthrough to score 4 points in a row, and thought that he should be like the Spurs in the sixth game, staggering the playing time of the two brothers and always staying alone on the court?

Or maybe staggered Billups and the two brothers?

Old Dunleavy pondered in his heart. There was only one Crawford on the bench and it was clearly not enough. Plus the words of Billups. Maybe it will give their rotation time the upper hand, at least not to the Celtics.

The Clippers' bench lineup really didn't give the fans face, and in four minutes, they only relied on Dragic to score two points, and the result of the second echelon was 8:2, and the Clippers were of course the 2.

At 8 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter, Dunleavy Sr. replaced two brothers, and the score became 28:26, but fortunately, the Clippers scored 2 points. Otherwise, the score was equalized by Celtic.

After Ji Guozhi came on the court, he shot a three-point shot and missed, this guy shot 4 of 5 in the first quarter, and it was time to lose a ball.

The Celtics grabbed the rebound and immediately counterattacked. Thorton's layup was chased by Ji Guoqiu from behind, a big hat was fanned out, and a deafening cheer rang out from the Staples Arena.

The Green Shirts also have a player who is getting worse and worse in the playoffs, and that is Al. Thorton, this kid is also a player who is not very reliable in playing tough battles, and plays completely on his body. When he encounters a superstar who is physically better than him, he often dies ugly.

Eastern Conference Finals. Thorton was slapped by James several times with a big hat, and when he came to the finals, Brother Panda gave him another reappearance of yesterday.

Crawford and Al. Thorton, compared to players like Ginobili, seems to be no different in the regular season, they all seem to be players of the same level, the difference is that in the playoffs, they took the opposite fork in the road, the former went down, the latter went up, and the historical status is naturally very different.

Dragic got the basketball, and the Clippers exchanged gifts and also fought back.

Ji Guosha fell to the three-point line on the wing, received a pass from Dragic, and made another three-point shot, but the result was iron again.

"Damn, I'll be able to pitch in next time."

Ji Guoyan didn't need old Dunleavy to teach him this plan at all, he was born with a 17/47 attribute, and he did plan to do so, anyway, as long as he didn't really make a 17/47 like the boss, then he wasn't afraid of anything, he didn't believe that he could cast a 17/48.

The flag really couldn't stand randomly, Ji Guoyi missed all three shots in the first three quarters, although Rondo also missed again outside the three-point line, but Pierce's mid-range still equalized the score.

Rivers soon replaced Rondo, who had not rested, and the Big Three returned to the court.

The Clippers also brought on Billups, replacing Crawford early and bringing on a forward combination of Afflaro and Garcia to strengthen the defense.

After the two teams equalized, the score remained deadlocked.

Slowly, the elder Dunleavy realized that something was wrong, they had too few free throws today, only three so far, while the Celtics stood on the free throw line seven times.

Ji Guoyi couldn't score three consecutive shots, Brother Panda decisively took over the offensive banner, and twice used his height to attack Perkins in the low post, the Celtics really have a lot of weaknesses, one inside and one outside, and the two brothers don't have to fight.

Rivers was helpless, and using Perkins to deal with Howard worked well, but against the interior line with hook ability and large projection range, the Green Army was often unable to deal with it. Whoever made him 208cm tall, but with a figure of more than 280 pounds, wanted to move faster, it was absolutely impossible, once he was flown a kite, the dead suit was extremely ugly.

The Celtics quickly used Garnett to defend the Panda brother, but the fox brother is not stupid, since the shot is not accurate, then kill it to play, Perkins, the dead fat man, still wants to stop his breakthrough?

This flag didn't work, and Perkins couldn't prevent Ji Guosha, Rivers did this, and he was soon retributed.

Ji Guoyi made a breakthrough layup, and a sudden stop after a breakthrough shook Perkins, played two and one, and scored five points in a row so that the Celtics could only ask for a timeout.

How can I limit twin brothers?

This is a problem that Rivers can't come up with a proper plan when he scratches his hair, and it seems that Popovich didn't come up with it either, the Spurs' plan is to use offense to solve the problem, but of course the result is that they can't attack the Clippers, and finally die heroically!

With the Spurs' corpse behind him, Rivers naturally didn't want to use this trick against the Clippers again, but without this trick, they didn't seem to be able to think of a solution to the problem.

The Celtics want to play against the Clippers, and it's almost the same to be replaced by the 25-year-old Big Three, and now among the three old guys, the youngest Pierce is 32 years old, how can he fight against people?

The 60-second timeout passed quickly, and Rivers didn't do much in the end except to encourage his players, hoping that the team's defense would make a difference.

It's a pity that Garnett is not a pervert who can guard beyond the three-point line when he was 25 years old, he can only guard near the free throw line now, and if the opponent is twin brothers, even if the position is still unsafe, he may not be able to come back if he goes out.

Ji Guoyi verified Garnett's thoughts, and the fox brother led Garnett to the free throw line in the high post, and he was going to be hard in disguise.

The old wolf king strode sideways, but his steps were still not as fast as the young fox, and in the end he could only pull the dead fox's jersey in the back, and the referee did not blow the whistle.

Ji Guoyan didn't completely pass Garnett, he thought the referee would blow a foul, but the whistle didn't sound.

Perkins hit in time, Ji Guoyi jumped up and passed the basketball to the outside, the ball passed high in order to avoid the steal, and almost returned to the court, but fortunately, Billups got the ball near the halfway.

With three seconds left on the offensive clock, Billups dribbled the basketball two steps from the three-point line and forced a shot......

"Huh!"

Such a distant shot, but the basketball smashed into the basket neatly, Billups himself was a little incredible, looked at his hands, and his luck seemed to be good today, showing half of his front teeth and smiling happily. (To be continued......) R1292
