Chapter 148: Fierce Battle
The second quarter of the game began, and Rashid. Wallace and Roy. Hibbert formed the inside line, and Josh. McRoberts, the Clippers' starting power forward in the second half of last season, had to be off the bench, while the Spurs' interior line was made up of Ratliffe and McDyce, and coincidentally McDies and Rashid. Wallace worked as teammates at the Pistons, and the two are familiar with each other.
Wallace's first shot against McDyce was disrupted, and the basket bounced off the front of the basket.
Argentine demon knife Manu quickly and successfully rushed to grab the defensive rebound, and the Spurs' offensive counterattack immediately played, and the main defense of Ginobili was Wilson. Chandler, Ginobili's injury in the playoffs last season was undoubtedly one of the main reasons why the Spurs were defeated by the Mavericks in the first round.
Suddenly moved, Lin Fei in the audience couldn't help but have a word in his mind - the spirit snake came out of the hole.
I saw Ginobili bizarrely break through Chandler's defense, and then use his signature demon knife layup to break the Wallace defense that was supplementing.
Offensive and defensive conversion, Lin Fei was not on the field last season, The offensive firepower of the second team is more on Jr. Smith and Wilson Chandler, and in the new season, Mike Dunleavy began to ask for the ball to be handed to the inside, and then used the inside to guide the outside in order to give other teams a feeling that the Clippers' bench lineup play style will change in the new season, so that in the playoffs, when the Clippers suddenly change their style of play or a combination of the two, it will be a good means, and the success rate of using the inside to guide the outside is much higher than the success rate of the outside finding opportunities to attack.
Roy. Bonner, who was stuck behind Hibbert, raised his hand to ask for the ball, and Chalmers didn't hesitate to send the ball in with a high lob.
Since training camp, Hibbert has been like a studious student who has been asking O'Neal for experience, and although O'Neal relied more on his perverted body to play at a young age, O'Neal's ability on the offensive and defensive ends is much more than what he shows, and Nel. Olshu and Mike. Dunleavy and Lin Fei both greeted O'Neill and asked him to teach Hibbert more, for which Lin Fei also paid a big meal, and Hibbert also worked very hard, and did a good job in training, which made O'Neill very happy.
Hibbert leaned on Bonner's back, and after a tentative moment, he suddenly forced a turn and cut inside with a hook hand.
Seeing Hibbert's attack, Lin Fei smiled happily, obviously improving a lot from last season, "Shaq, this is your credit, I dare to guarantee that Roy will thank you for the rest of his life." ”
"What about you? I've cultivated a good helper for you, shouldn't you show it? O'Neill quipped.
The game continued, the Clippers relied more on the inside Wallace and Hibbert to focus on the offense, and then the outside looked for opportunities to be ready to shoot at any time When Odom came on the court, the Clippers' offense became more fluid, and the Clippers were excited by the continuous excellent passes, while the interior sometimes pulled out to cover Smith and Chandler took the opportunity to get to the basket, while the Spurs relied more on Ginobili to drive the team's offense, but it was difficult to beat the four hands with two fists, not to mention that the Clippers' offensive points were far more than four hands, if it wasn't for replacing Richard. Jefferson showed his strength, and by the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Spurs weren't just eight points behind.
"If the Spurs don't have a good way to contain the Clippers in the absence of a good bench and starter, they may miss the first game of the new season." Kenny. Smith said.
|“ Yes, the Clippers' second team played well, especially on the inside, proving that their reinforcements were worth it in the offseason. Dunleavy must have had happy troubles, and the team's playing time didn't seem to be allocated. "Ray Jay. Miller's words are indeed a headache for Dunleavy, but fortunately, O'Neal and Wallace did not play much time and were limited to less than 25 minutes by the team doctor, so this kind of playing time can play the best for the two veterans.
"That's not a problem, I think whoever plays well should be played, but Shaq and Rashid are not young anymore and it would be better for them to play 20 minutes consistently, so Lamar's playing time is exactly what Steve's playing time did last season. Novak and McRoberts, so the question is settled. Barkley made a lot of sense, and it was unanimously agreed.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the players from both sides appeared again, and the Clippers were O'Neal, Tyson, and Tyson. Chandler, Odom, Lin Fei, Andre. Miller, and the Spurs made a substitution for Parker, Duncan, Oberto, plus Ginobili and Jefferson to form the lineup.
Andre. Miller passed the ball to Lin Fei who was 45 degrees away from the three-point line, and Lin Fei stabilized his body and did not rush to attack, facing Ginobili's defense.
Continuous crotch dribbling changed direction, the basketball was like merging with the body under Lin Fei's control, Ginobili did not dare to relax in the slightest, Lin Fei was far less afraid of Ginobili's defensive end than the offensive end, and still dribbled the ball without panic, the ball alternated back and forth between his hands, and suddenly his shoulders shook to the right, and the center of gravity of his body was also tilted to the right.
"Break through from the left?" Ginobili quickly moved to his left side according to his own judgment, trying to block the line that Lin Fei broke through, but Lin Fei changed the direction of his breakthrough at this moment, his ankle changed, and the center of gravity of his body shifted instantly, and Lin Fei, who had broken through to the right side, turned to the left, and everything came so suddenly, so that Ginobili's defense was completely caught off guard.
Shaking off the position, Lin Fei immediately adjusted his speed to the maximum and rushed in front of the inside line.
Duncan watched Lin Fei rush in and greeted him, Lin Fei was not afraid and jumped up towards Duncan.
When he was about to collide with Duncan, Lin Fei shook his body and put away the ball he raised, and at the same time glided to Duncan's right side, the ball was handed over to his left hand, passed under Duncan's armpit, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew to the basket.
When Lin Fei landed, he heard the crisp sound of wiping the net.
With Lin Fei's beautiful layup, the Clippers stretched the fork to double digits, which was the first time that the Clippers pulled the point difference to double digits.
Offensive and defensive switch, the ball came to Ginobili's hand, just now Lin Fei's goal stemmed from the failure of his defense, Ginobili's face did not show a strong **, but he told Lin Fei with practical actions. After facing Lin Fei's two consecutive crotch, he shook left and right, and then tore Lin Fei's defense on the left.
Again nimbly dodged the defender and put the ball into the basket.
Lin Fei smiled when he saw Ginobili score.
