Grant hit both free throws to open the game 2-2, but the Clippers obviously suffered a big loss, Griffin paid a foul, and Rivers put his hands under his armpits and kept pacing on the sidelines. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Clippers served the ball from the bottom line, Paul crossed the half court with Grant, handed the ball to Griffin, and deliberately made the ball for him, Griffin was very unhappy, and was actually played by a rookie egg, dribbling and carrying O'Quinn to the inside, O'Quinn stepped back step by step, Griffin went to the reasonable collision area, turned around and made a small hook, and hit again.

"Oops!"

O'Quinn screamed and lay on the ground clutching his stomach with a pained look on his face, but the baseline referee signaled that the goal was valid, and there was no obvious foul, and the Knicks sent the ball in the backcourt.

When Griffin jumped, his left arm supported O'Quin, and the moment he landed, his elbow was on O'Quin's abdomen, and the movement was not big, and it didn't seem to be intentional, so the baseline referee didn't seriously consider whether there was a foul.

Porzingis stepped forward, picked up Oquin, turned around and rushed to the frontcourt, O'Quinn rubbed his abdomen, it was no big deal, Anthony received the ball in the front court and singled Pierce with his back, they are also offensive masters, Pierce's defense is much better than Anthony's.

Anthony carried it twice, Pierce didn't move, and as a last resort, Anthony forced a turn and jumper, the ball smashed on the hoop and bounced high, and little Jordan jumped into the air like a taut spring, and took the ball into his arms with one arm.

Paul received a pass from Jordan Jr., played a fast attack in the front court, Grant retreated quickly, Griffin ran to the basket, Paul understood and threw the ball high directly, Griffin's most common violent basket abuse picture is about to appear again in the empty city, who knows that Grant has already stood under the basket, and when he makes physical contact with Griffin, he falls to the ground directly.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle again, signaling for Griffin's offensive foul, the goal was invalidated, the ball was converted, and the Knicks served the baseline ball.

The scene suddenly resounded with the boos of the home fans, and Rivers spread his hands and faced the referee with an incredible expression on his face, and his mouth kept breaking thoughts.

The referee is Joey Crawford, who has a high "prestige", and his glorious deeds do not need to be repeated, although this is his last season as a referee, but this does not affect the authority of his blowing penalty, Crawford said that he does not even need to watch the replay, and there is no problem with blowing the penalty.

"This is the Staples Center, not the Madison Square Garden arena, please be clear, we're the home team!"

Crawford's indifferent attitude made Rivers very unhappy, and the original fragmented thoughts instantly turned into loud roars.

"Beep!"

The whistle in Crawford's mouth sounded again, blowing directly for a technical foul on Rivers, and Afflalo went to the free throw line to execute a technical foul.

The entire Staples Center was instantly overwhelmed with boos, and the fans began to curse Crawford incessantly, and Rivers sat back on the bench with a fussaic face after receiving a technical foul, calling a timeout to replace Griffin for two fouls.

Wang Zhuo looked at every change on the court with a calm expression, his goal was achieved, two minutes into the first quarter, the Clippers' starting power forward Griffin was fouled twice and had no choice but to leave the court, and the Knicks' offense only officially began from this moment.

Paul is like a good man at the helm for the Clippers, and Griffin is the equivalent of the first mate of the ship, and the loss of Griffin is almost fatal for the Clippers.

Pierce is older and has taken on the heavy responsibility of defending Anthony, Jordan Jr. has almost no ability to attack independently, and Redick is even more difficult to take on the responsibility, so Paul will have to carry the banner of offense alone, which is exactly what Wang Zhuo wants to see.

Grant receives the ball in the backcourt and plays a fast break, Porzingis cuts to the basket and hits a hook shot, Porzingis is tall and has long arms, and Jordan Jr. can only look into the dust.

After Griffin went off the court, Rivers could only replace Super Sixth Man Jamal Crawford to make up for the Clippers' lack of offensive firepower.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks took a 5-point lead at 27:22 by virtue of the advantage of the inside, and in terms of rotating lineups, the Clippers' bench depth was still quite deep, Jeff Green and Austin Rivers led the bench group to play an excellent performance, once tied the score, and with Calderon's steady shot, the second quarter entered the official timeout.

On the bench, Wang Zhuo did not loudly exaggerate the emotions of the players, but raised his palms and made a downward cutting action, his intentions were well known to all the players.

The hard power of the Clippers team is above the Knicks, and it can be seen from the last game at the Madison Square Garden Arena that the trio of Paul, Griffin and Jordan Jr. cooperate tacitly and frequently catch and dunk in the air, so if you want to beat the Clippers in such unfavorable conditions on the road, you must not be hard-hitting, only shortcuts.

In the first quarter, it was also Wang Zhuo's strategy to let Griffin sit on the bench with two fouls on his back, and in the second quarter, Griffin would definitely return to the game, and the Knicks would be at a disadvantage again, Wang Zhuo thought that the best way to limit Griffin was not to let him play, and now that he is inevitable to return to the court, he can only start with another player, so Wang Zhuo signaled that as long as the Clippers attack, they will not hesitate to cut Jordan.

As a center, Jordan Jr.'s physical fitness, bounce height, and basket protection ability are absolutely first-class, the only deficiency is the feel of shooting, including mid-range shooting and free throws, especially the worst free throws, there is often a situation where the free throws are not sticky, there is only one team that does not cut Jordan by playing the Clippers, that is, the hard power is far superior to the Clippers, but throughout the league, there are very few hard power that can compare to the Clippers, and even the old man Popovich sometimes does not hesitate to destroy his reputation to cut Jordan, Wang Zhuo naturally does not think that the Knicks' power is stronger than the Spurs.

At the end of the official timeout, Griffin came on, Paul's offensive pressure dropped sharply, and the situation of the Knicks took a sharp turn, Griffin hit another jumper to tie the score, and the two sides were back on the same running line.

Anthony turned around and singled Pierce, relying on his youth, and forced a shot against Pierce, just when Paul received the ball in the backcourt and was about to instigate an offense, O'Quinn hugged Jordan Jr., the referee's whistle blew for O'Quinn to foul, and the Clippers continued to serve in the backcourt.

The Knicks only have Porzingis and Anthony each carrying one foul each, so Wang Zhuo doesn't have to worry about fouls and boldly slashes Jordan.

Paul received the ball and prepared to make a long pass to Griffin, who had already stolen away, the referee whistled again, and Grant pulled Jordan Jr.'s arm as he marched, at this time, the fans and Rivers realized that Wang Zhuo was going to cut Jordan, and the Staples Center booed again.

The cycle repeated, when the number of fouls by the Knicks came to the fifth time in the second quarter, Jordan Jr. shook his head and reluctantly stood on the free throw line, but the result did not disappoint, Jordan Jr. missed two free throws steadily, and O'Quinn grabbed the defensive rebound.
