Chapter 39 Rhythm
Ji Guoqiu's low-post offense is not yet proficient. He will shoot once the ball is used. He will not rely on hard work like other players, which will increase his turnover rate. Besides, he does not have that weight. Ji Guoqiu's arm span and height make him jump and move as long as he has a little space. It is difficult for most defensive players to cover him. The key is whether he can throw the ball in? This is not even his own decision.
Bidlins held Ji Guochou, who held the ball and turned his back to the basket, and his left foot did not move and then jumped up and attacked immediately...
Ji Guochou thought it very simply. Since his height and arm span make it difficult for the other party to cover one-on-one, there is no need to think about using any fake moves to shake the other party, and just use the simplest and most direct method. His low-post back-on attack is not as skilled as superstars such as Duncan and Garnett. Fake moves are all advanced techniques. First, master the simplest moves and seek other things.
Bidlins didn't expect Ji Guoqiu to be so clean and neat. He didn't have any fake moves before shooting. He turned left and jumped out, and shot the basketball with his small hook on his outside arm...
"Swish"! A wonderful sound of browsing the net, the basketball obediently fell into the net.
When Ji Guoqiu shot, the only thing he needs to pay attention to is whether anyone came to assist in defense? Ji Guomi has already told him telepathically, so he can shoot without any worries and not worry about being blocked by the assist-defense player.
The score was 45:51. This was Ji Guoqiu's first hook shot in the regular season. It was quite memorable and made him very excited.
The Warriors attacked, and Harrington also chose to attack at a low post. His body was stronger than Ji Guomeng, and he had no effort to get to the left waist position.
Davis originally wanted to attack by himself, and the defender was a small man who was only 178cm, but Harrington was about to get the position and did not hurt his feelings.
Harrington received the basketball and squeezed back twice, then kept his right foot moving and swayed to the left. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Ji Guomeng easily shaken up by him. He was happy and thought to himself: "Rookie is a rookie, such a simple fake move can deal with you." After feeling happy, Harrington turned around in the opposite direction, took two steps and made a layup with a low hand...
"Bang!"
The basketball was slapped away by a giant yellow palm and landed straight into Mobley's hand at the bottom corner. The latter was a little unbelievable when he got the basketball.
Clippers fans witnessed Ji Guochou's big hat this time. The huge "Staples Arena" was silent for a few seconds, and then immediately burst out with cheers far beyond the previous ones!
Slam dunks, big hats, three-pointers, and steals are always the favorite scenes that fans have seen...
The two brothers showed exactly the same smile on their faces. Ji Guomo was not so easily shaken away. He was acting for each other to show them, so that the other party could relax his vigilance when making layups.
Harrington's offensive direction is easy to judge. Anyway, it is either left or right. Ji Guomother tempted him to break through. Ji Guochou could easily give the opponent a big hat under the basket as long as he saw the right time.
Mobley got the basketball that was blown away by Ji Guoqiu and passed it to Brevin who came to pick him up. The Clippers snatched back the ball and fought back.
Ji Guoqiu landed outside the three-point line at the top of the arc and stopped. Brevin slipped in with the cover. The Clippers' small point immediately attracted the defensive attention of the Warriors players. However, no one noticed, Ji Guoqiu also ran towards his brother's direction. Ji Guoqiu still stood still after blocking the demolition for Brevin, and Ji Guoqiu also blocked the defender for Ji Guoqiu.
Harrington secretly screamed, it was already dazzling to these two twins standing together. He didn't know which of the two brothers blocked this pick-and-roll? Anyway, one guy ran out of the room now and broke out of his control.
Ji Guomo got rid of Harrington and quickly ran to the left three-point line to stop.
Brevin had already attracted two Warriors' defensive players from the inside, and he shook his wrist and passed the basketball from the paint area to outside the three-point line.
Ji Guomeng reached out to catch it, and the subsequent work became simple. He had three-pointers with no defense. Ji Guomeng would not miss such a good opportunity. He gently eased his ape's arm and the basketball crawled into the net with a "swish" sound!
The score was 48:51, and the Clippers scored only three points in two rounds. Old Nelson had to call a timeout to interrupt the Clippers' scoring momentum. This time it was called a timeout, and the arrangement of tactics was second. The most important thing was to not make the Clippers' morale rise.
As of this timeout, Ji Guoqiu has scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Ji Guoqiu has 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, and he is no worse than his brother.
Old Dunleavy was very satisfied with the performance of the two. When the captain was there last season, they played against the Warriors with 1 win and 3 losses, and the scene was not better than today.
At the end of the timeout, the Warriors scored two points with Davis' singles, which was the 12th point of the Bearded today. Davis had not made much effort and had already achieved such high data. If he made up his mind to play against the Clippers, he would not only get such a small score.
In the last three minutes of the first half, the Warriors really began to play against the Clippers' weakness. Brevin Knight's height became the target of the Warriors' attack, and the bearded shots on his head in succession.
The Clippers are in full swing, Ji Guoqiu is in the middle to support, Brevin dribbles through, Ji Guomeng and Mobri ambush on the outside, Artest plays hard on the wing from time to time, and occasionally goes to the low post to win against the opponent, and their scoring speed is no less than that of the Warriors.
At the end of the half, if it weren't for Davis's buzzer-beating three-pointer, the two teams would have actually tied.
The Warriors ended the first half with a slight advantage with Davis' last minute with a very long three-pointer.
For the Warriors, the Bearded Man scored 20 points in the first half with this goal, becoming the player with the highest score in the game. Ellis scored 11 points and 2 assists, Jackson scored 10 points, and Harrington scored 8 points and 3 rebounds.
Ji Guomeng of the Clippers scored the highest score in the team, with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, Artest scored 12 points, Ji Guochuo scored 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and Mobri scored 10 points.
"Everyone performed well. This is our first game in the regular season. This season we started with injuries and trades. Everyone outside thought that our goal this year should be on the bad side. I didn't know what you thought? But now, you used the first half to let me know that you are like me, we are all playing in the playoffs."
As soon as Old Dunleavy finished speaking, Artest interrupted and said: "Of course we have to play in the playoffs, and we have to defeat our opponents in the playoffs. It's so damn bad!"
"But if we don't win, the outside media will still say that our deal has failed. They will still think that our best goal this year is to make a bad move! So, what do you think should you do?"
"Kill them...we want to win...let the media go hell..."
The players rushed to make harsh words, and Old Dunleavy was very satisfied.
In the second half, the two teams still closely tied to the score. After the first half of the game, the two brothers had already experienced the initial tension and began to deliberately lower the rhythm. Although they didn't know if this was right or not, they knew that they could not run with the opponent's rhythm as they did at the beginning, and they would never be able to defeat the Warriors.
Kassel, Mobri and Artest on the Clippers are all old players. The three of them could have slowed down the pace. The Warriors were more driven by the rhythm in the first half, but the two brothers ran too fast. Now the two rookies have also slowed down. The rhythm on the court is no longer controlled by the Warriors, and they have become fast and slow. The two teams do not care about their opponents and only play at their own pace.
