Chapter 76 Who is self-indulgent?
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 25:24. The Nuggets' second column did a good job and narrowed the score gap to one point during the bench.
"Don't take it lightly. The two guys over there scored 26 points in a single quarter are not a problem. Our defense must not be careless. As long as you relax, they will give them the opportunity to show their superstar abilities."
When Old Dunleavy saw that the lead score was only one point, he felt no idea. He did not exaggerate his words. Any two guys on the other side could get 20 points in a single quarter. It would be easier for the two to get more than 30 points in one quarter. Facing a team like the Nuggets, even if they were 20 points ahead, it would not be safe.
"fox, what I'm talking about is you, where are you looking?" Old Dunleavy saw Ji Guomeng still sneaking into the audience and didn't listen to him at all, and his anger suddenly came out.
"Don't worry, coach, we will definitely be able to kill them!"
Ji Guomo seemed to have never heard Old Dunleavy say. At this time, he wanted to get away with it. His teammates were laughing. Old Dunleavy was so angry that his beard was raised, and he wished he could not help but slap this guy with a lucky palm to death.
Christine looked at Ji Guomeng, and the two of them had just expressed their feelings. The Twilight Girl's seat was less than ten meters away from the team's bench. The slut men and women had good eyesight and saw each other clearly.
"It's a pity that American girls have bad skin, and they all like to wear heavy makeup, just like little singers." Ji Guomo was still talking about Twilight's female head in his heart.
"I saw that the coach was lucky. Be careful to be slapped to death by a palm!" Ji Guochou saw the old Dunleavy holding his hands to condense his true energy, and he really hoped that the latter could slap Ji Guomo.
The two brothers waited until 6 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter. Old Dunleavy asked them to rest for so long because the substitutes played well in the second quarter. Although Black Parker was caught by Iverson after he came on the court, their Mobri, Garcia and Thomas were very good today, especially Thomas. This guy is sometimes in good shape and makes himself look like a star player. Of course, this is simply referring to the offensive end, and the defensive end is still like shit.
The score was 38:39, the Nuggets took the lead by one point, and Dunleavy, the old man, decisively replaced the substitute.
Ji Guoqiu scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, while Ji Guoqiu scored 5 points and 3 rebounds. Today, Ji Guoqiu had more rebounds than his brother, because Ji Guoqiu's opponent player was Camby.
Cambi's achievements in rebounding are only stronger than Ji Guoqiu, and forced Ji Guoqiu to use both sides to suffer losses in order to deal with him. He did not ask for a rebound himself, but only wanted to die with Cambi, so that the other party could not grab it, so naturally it would be cheaper for Ji Guoqiu.
The two teams are in a stalemate, and now they need to provide ammunition for the team. Ji Guoqiu was not sure of playing singles, and he was focused on creating shooting opportunities for Ji Guoxiu.
Ji Guomo has not many opportunities. In order to deal with Kenyon Martin, who has outstanding single defense capabilities, he rarely penetrated the basket and entered the three-second zone attack.
Kenyon Martin was careless for a moment and asked Ji Guomo to receive Ji Guoqiu's internal pass in the three-second zone. The former received the basketball and only needed to jump and dunk towards the basket to get two points.
However, it was Cambi's backup defense again, and Ji Guomeng's dunk was interfered by Cambi and he dunked it directly.
The cheers at Staples Stadium were much smaller by half of Camby's block. Many people say that Camby's two best defensive players and three top block kings were all made. This is when everyone was blind. Was it because Camby was good-looking that everyone chose him?
The rebound was obtained by Anthony and then quickly passed it to Iverson, who dribbled the ball and rushed to the Clippers' backcourt alone.
Brevin Knight was slowing down, and Iverson instantly threw away his opponent. The five Clippers players returned to defense and were all behind him immediately. Iverson dribbled the ball and rushed straight to the Clippers' basket, easily making a low-hand layup to get two points.
The Clippers' lineup lacks a star point guard. Dunleavy is waiting for next summer now to sign a star-level No. 1 position during the two brothers' rookie contracts, such as General Arenas and Byron Davis, who are good at offense.
"Clang!"
Ji Guomeng's middle-range shot sound awakened the old coach YY. Kenyon and Martin's defense were in place. Ji Guomeng had no suitable shooting opportunity to force the ball, and the basketball hit the basket and the rebound was obtained by Camby.
The Clippers missed consecutively, and the Nuggets fell into the position and handed the basketball to Anthony alone.
Anthony received the ball on the right wing, facing Artest, who was close to defending, raised his gun and swept across, and used his arms to draw a shooting space for himself, and then immediately jumped out of the middle distance...
"Swish!" The melon's three-pointer was not scored, but the middle distance was extremely accurate, and the basketball fell into the net accurately.
Ji Guoqiu has missed twice in a row and began to feel anxious. He is not as calm and calm as Ji Guoqiu.
Ji Guochou felt his brother's anxiety and took the ball at a high position to support him. He did not choose to hand over the ball to him, but passed it to Artest on the wing.
Artest hit Anthony after receiving the ball. One-on-one defense Anthony can barely be considered B-level. Thanks to his excellent physical fitness, he is better at dealing with a power player like Artest than Jackson before.
Both teams pulled apart, leaving the two one-on-one.
Artest's back-to-back attack met his nemesis today. After a long time of futility, he could only turn to a face frame to break through. As a result, he made a three-no-touch shot under the long-prepared Cambi assisting defense.
After seeing Artest in an ugly layup position similar to James, Charles Barkley laughed unscrupulously: "Atest's layup after losing balance is a bit awkward, and he must be very disappointed in himself!"
Kenny Smith also laughed: "The Clippers did not score in three consecutive offenses. They looked very weak when facing the Nuggets, who were not as strong as the top team on the offensive end. The Clippers' real attack ability finally surfaced. If their defense can have A-, then their attack ability is only B at most."
Charles Barkley disagreed with this view: "I agree with the Clippers' offense with B, but the defense may not be as high as A-. They have already begun to be unable to withstand the double guns, and the defense line has gradually begun to lose. If it were A-'s defensive ability, the defense line would not be penetrated so easily."
As Barkley said, the Clippers' defense became shaky after Anthony suddenly broke out.
Anthony found a way to deal with Artest and used a step back jump shot to hit consecutive shots. The beast's close-fitting defense was greatly reduced by Anthony's accurate mid-range strike.
This is also impossible. Superstars can only limit themselves and cannot defend themselves. Unless they are guarding themselves, the superstars that can be defended are definitely not real superstars.
The Clippers couldn't stand the outside, and the two brothers' baskets were quite stable. Anthony and Iverson used mid-range attack method to avoid the strongest point of the Clippers' defense.
The half ended with a score of 44:48, and the Clippers fell behind by 4 points to end the first half.
The Nuggets scored 48 points but couldn't say they were very good, and this was not a high score for them.
Iverson scored 12 points and 4 assists, Anthony scored 11 points and 3 rebounds. Their performance can only be said to be his normal performance. The Clippers' backwardness is more due to their own offense. Their offense is really not very good.
Ji Guoqiu scored 4 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, Ji Guomiang scored 6 points and 5 rebounds, Mobri scored 9 points, Thomas scored 8 points, Artest scored 5 points, Brevin scored 5 points, and Garcia scored 4 points.
Today, the Clippers' main players scored even worse than the substitute in the first half. The starting players' offensive weakness made them passive.
During the halftime break, Dunleavy was in the locker room and knew clearly the reasons for his team's unfavorable offense. Their three scoring points were all limited by the opponent, especially Artest and Ji Guomo, who were the two players with the highest scores in the team in the past, but this was obviously not visible in the first half.
Old Dunleavy shouted to the players: "Use screens more in the second half to find opportunities, play pick-and-roll more, and cooperate with passes and cuts. Our off-ball screen disappeared in the first half. This is not a good thing. The Nuggets are not weak teams. We can't play too many singles anymore. We all run for me, and the opportunity comes out."
After the halftime break, the two teams reappeared, and the two brothers stood on the sidelines. Christine gave the two thumbs up, holding an encouraging look in her eyes.
The two brothers nodded to Twilight Girl at the same time as a response, and then felt something was wrong and looked at each other.
"Boss, you just respond, Twilight is greeting me."
