On January 4th, the Clippers will face the Portland Trail Blazers at home again, and the original departure date of Jooradine was also today, but after playing the Trail Blazers, the Clippers will have a derby battle with the Lakers at home. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sad Trail Blazers injured another big player, All-Star power forward Aldridge, who was out of action due to injury, did not even come to Los Angeles, and recuperated directly in Portland, Batum unexpectedly did not appear in the activation list before the game, and the substitute was Pendegraf.

The Trail Blazers, who lacked major generals, did not show the idea of winning on the court, Roy also played so-so and no longer had the courage of the last game, and the Clippers took advantage of the victory to chase, and under the excellent play of Carman, the Clippers won the Trail Blazers at home, 95:105 The home court revenge was successful, Griffin 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Coincidentally, the Clippers are now ranked ninth in the West, just one win away from eighth, and if they can win the Lakers, the Clippers can return to the playoff rankings, so this is a game for the Clippers to strive for.

Another aspect is the rendering of the derby, and now the second meeting is completely different from the first, the hegemon is still the hegemon, but the little brother who couldn't support the wall back then has some faint signs, especially the champion Lang Blake Griffin, showing his potential to become a star, and the hard encounter with the Lakers twin towers makes the adrenaline of Los Angeles fans soar.

Perhaps because the atmosphere of the game was not fierce enough and the smell of gunpowder, the day before the game, the American gossip media TMZ broke out a video of an interview with Artest, and the reporter asked Ron Artest about his thoughts on facing the Clippers again tomorrow.

"Well, I don't really understand why people are so keen on us playing against the Clippers, and why? We're championship contenders, the Clippers can't even make the playoffs, and playing against them is no different than playing against the Bobcats, Kings, etc., it's not challenging. ”

"Blake Griffin, he's been very brave lately." The reporter continued to ask.

"Ah, that's right, a kid who can fly and dunk, but the Lakers are not cats and dogs, and if he doesn't believe in evil, I think I'll entertain him personally. Stop asking the Lakers and the Clippers, there's no point, we're going to win, okay? ”

As soon as the interview was exposed, the smell of gunpowder in the confrontation between the two teams was directly raised to a notch, they are all athletes, no one wants to be pointed at the nose and scolded that you are a spicy chicken, Byron Davis was the first to jump out and fight back.

"Oh? Did Artest say so? I think an out-of-the-box player who is still trying to hug his thighs should be as low-key as I am, it's not his age anymore, it's the best thing to do, it's just a regular season game, isn't it? ”

Davis's counterattack also reached the Lakers for the first time, and then there were Lakers players to help out, this time it was Lamar Odom, the best sixth man.

"Did Ron say something wrong? I don't think Blake Griffin is as good as it seems. ”

The war of words eventually came to an end with the tacit agreement of the two head coaches, and Dunleavy and Zen Master began to ease the atmosphere and forbid the players to speak again, this is just a regular season, and the endless war of words does not apply here.

Griffin was changing his shoes and clothes in the locker room, and little Jordan walked over angrily, "Blake! I'm! Even if the Lakers are better than us, you can't say that about us, I really hope the coach can send me! ”

"Hahahad Andrew is calm, send you on the field, can you and I defend Gasol and Bynum?"

“..... Even if you can't prevent it, you have to slap him, I'm really angry. ”

Not only Little Jordan, but even Davis is also very serious about sorting out his headband, Gordon has been tightening his shoelaces, watching Griffin look at it, Davis grinned at Griffin, "Let's go, boy, even if it's Kobe, let them know that we're not mud." Still grinning, Griffin felt for the first time that this unscrupulous big brother had such a serious moment.

Most of the fans at the scene are still Lakers, even though this is the home court of the Clippers, but much better than last time, you can already see a lot of fan groups that clearly support the Clippers, and Jaratine is wearing a Griffin shirt at this time with a bunch of Clippers fans.

All the Clippers players are warming up very seriously, and Dunleavy doesn't need to boost morale before this game, Dunleavy saw full of passion and morale in the eyes of the Clippers boys, "I'm really looking forward to what I can do with the Lakers." Dunleavy thought silently.

"Hello everyone! I'm Barkley, and it's been a long time since I've commented on Griffin's game, and tonight I felt like I was very excited, and I had a hunch that the Lakers would pay for that arrogance. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Kenny, judging from the pre-game warm-up, it can be seen that the Clippers boys are very combative, but the gap in team strength is still obvious, if the Clippers want to win the Lakers, they must first contain Kobe, I don't think Gordon can limit Kobe Bryant well, and secondly, Byron Davis must suppress Fisher, inside, I am still more optimistic about the Lakers Twin Towers, what do you think of Barkley."

"Well, the Lakers inside should suppress the Clippers, but it must not be too obvious, at least I don't think Gasol, who has just returned from injury, can guard against Blake, Gasol is still softer, Bynum is a little tricky, Carman will be torn apart, but the Clippers still have Camby."

In the nonsense of commenting on the east and west, the game soon officially began, and the Lakers ushered in Pau Gasol, who had just returned from injury, with Bynum in the fifth position, Ron Artest in the third position, Kobe Bryant in the second position, and Fisher in the first position.

"Boy, you're going to be killed in this game, and your team is going to lose." Ron Artest whispered to Griffin before jumping the ball.

Griffin is not good at trash talking, so he still ignores it and walks away, but Ron, who was about to laugh at it, was stopped by Kobe.

"I don't think it's fun to bully a rookie." Kobe Bryant, who was expressionless, said that his aura was very powerful, and the beast, who had always been not afraid of heaven and earth, just pouted and didn't say anything, and went back to his position to prepare for the game.

As the whistle blew, Paul stretched out his long arm to dial the basketball ahead of Carman, and Fisher took the ball and dribbled across the half court without hesitation and directly gave it to Kobe Bryant, who wanted to stay in the position, and everyone pulled away to watch Kobe eat Gordon alone. Kobe Bryant attacked directly with his back in the high position, sat two steps inside, Gordon was knocked back and let go of half a step, at this moment, Kobe Bryant directly turned around and hit a back, like a sculpture as a picturesque jumper, and the ball went directly into the net.

"Seeing that there are no rookies, this is basketball, not for you to bump into each other." Ron didn't forget to taunt Griffin when he returned to defense. "It's as if you scored the ball, isn't it also the same as when you hit the ball?" Griffin was not polite this time, and whispered back.

Byron Davis, who came back, asked for a pick-and-roll, Griffin stuck Fisher firmly behind him, Davis did not distribute the ball as before, but strode directly to the inside!

The little explosive power left bloomed at this moment, Bynum was startled and hurriedly killed inside, Gasol also stood inside and waited for Davis, Davis broke through and did not go to the basket, but threw the basketball into the air!

"Bang!!" Griffin dunked the ball into the basket like a god soldier! Both the action and the degree of violence are full marks, and the basket is directly deformed! The Clippers bench also boiled over for the first time.

"Beautiful air strike! It can be seen that Davis is also really angry, how long has it been since I saw him so desperate, but unfortunately Byron has entered the end of his career, it would be nice if he was still young. Kenny seems to be interested in the young and old pair.

Back in the past, the Lakers still gave the ball to Kobe Bryant, and still pushed Gordon to shoot after the jumper, and continued to hit! The Clippers continued to block unhurriedly, and this time Davis went straight in and scored a layup.

At the end of the first quarter, Kobe began to pass the ball to Bynum and Gasol to play, Griffin and Carman did not have many ways to play this pair of high combinations, especially Bynum Jamman, which was really stable, and Gasol could also single Griffin with a pair of long arms and status skills.

However, Davis and Griffin's blocking and dismantling are very powerful, especially the three-point shooting of outside clues and Gordon, which makes players such as Kobe Bryant dare not attack at will, so Davis or Griffin, the two continue to impact the Lakers' interior line.

This style of play Griffin is the favorite, because he has a step or so of jumping space, to put it mildly, you give Griffin such a step of space, in addition to pulling down directly, he is basically invincible, in the words of Barkley, "When a 210cm tall and weighs more than 200 pounds, jumping a meter high and hitting you, you can only dodge." ”

So shortly after the start of the second quarter, Griffin had already dunked three, and substitute interior Mbenga was even shown off by Griffin with a change of hand dunk, locking in one of today's top ten background emperors. Barkley also praised Griffin's dunk skills, "Blake's dunk is not only powerful and high, but also skillful, his left and right hand dunks are very good, he can switch at will, almost unstoppable." ”

Although the Clippers who entered the rotation lineup were not as strong, everyone played very seriously, even the ball bully Telfair, who was rarely reasonable, although he was much less threatening, but he lowered the team's rhythm and did not give the rotation lineup led by Odom too many opportunities to counterattack.

Bryant, who returned to the court, turned on the scoring mode before halftime, scored 8 points in a row, and hit a difficult strong shot under the double of Thorton and Gordon, which also made the fans boil again.

Dunleavy had to call a timeout to interrupt Kobe's hand, but fortunately, it worked well, Kobe Bryant doubled to give the Clippers a little respite, Davis assisted Carman to score 2 points before halftime, and hit another 3-pointer himself to maintain the score at a safe score of 53:49.
