Chapter 148 The Battle
The second quarter begins, Rashid. Wallace and Roy. Hibbert formed the inside line, Josh. McCropers, the starting power forward of the Clippers in the second half of last season, had to play on the bench, while the inside line of the Spurs is composed of Ratliff and McDais, and coincidentally McDes and Rashid. Wallace has been a teammate in the Pistons, and the two of them can imagine how familiar they are with each other.
Wallace's first shot against McDais was disturbed, and the basketball he threw bounced out at the front of the basket.
Argentinian demon knife Manu successfully grabbed the defensive rebound, the Spurs' offensive counterattack immediately sounded, and the main defender Gino Billy was Wilson. Chandler, Ginobili's injury last season's playoffs were undoubtedly one of the main reasons for the Spurs' defeat by the Mavericks in the first round. In the pre-season, Ginobili showed his excellent form and now firmly controlled the ball against Chandler's defense.
Suddenly, a word came to Lin Fei's mind - the spirit snake came out of the hole.
Ginobili strangely broke through Chandler's defense and defeated Wallace's defense with a signature magic knife.
Attack and defense conversion, Lin Fei was not on the field last season, and the offensive firepower of the second lineup is more in JR. Smith and Wilson. Chandler, and Mike in the new season. Dunleavy began to ask for the ball to be handed over to the inside line, and then use the inside line to guide the outside line. In order to give other teams a feeling that the Clippers' substitute lineup will change in the new season, it will be a good way to play when the Clippers suddenly change their playing style or combine the two, and use the inside line to guide the outside line far more than the outside line. The success rate of finding opportunities to attack is much higher.
Roy. Hebert stuck behind him and Bona raised his hand to ask for the ball, and Chalmers immediately sent the ball in without any hesitation.
From the training camp, Hibbert has been like a learning student who has been asking O'Neill for experience. Although O'Neill relied more on his perverted body to play when he was young, O'Neal's ability on the offensive and defensive end is far more than what he showed, while Nell. Orshu and Mike. Dunleavy and Lin Fei both greeted O'Neal and asked him to teach Hibbert more. For this, Lin Fei also paid a big meal, and Hibber also worked hard and did a good job in training, which made O'Neill very gratified.
Hibbert leaned on Bonner's back, and after a temptation, he suddenly turned around and cut inside, followed by a hook.
Lin Fei smiled happily when he saw Hibber's attack, which was obviously much better than last season. "Shaq, this is your credit. I can guarantee that Roy will thank you for the rest of his life."
"What about you? I have cultivated a good helper for you. Shouldn't you show it? O'Neill said jokingly.
The game continues. The Clippers rely more on the inside line Wallace and Hibbert to attack and then look for opportunities on the outside. After Odom came on the court, the Clippers' attack became smoother. Continuously sending wonderful passes made the Clippers excited, while the inside line sometimes pulled out to cover Smith and Chandler to take advantage of the opportunity. Under the basket, the Spurs rely more on Ginobili to drive the team's attack, but it is difficult to beat the four hands. What's more, the Clippers' offensive point is far more than four hands, if it is not to replace Richard who came on the field. Jefferson showed his personal strength. By the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Spurs would not be only 8 points behind.
"If there is no accident, the starting lineup of both sides will appear in turn. If the Spurs do not have a good way to curb the Clippers, they are likely to lose the first game of the new season without being dominant in substitutes and starting." Kenny. Smith said so.
| "Yes, the Clippers' second lineup performed well, especially in the inside, which proves that their reinforcement in the off-season is worth it, but Mike. Dunleavy must have happy troubles. The team's playing time does not seem to be allocated enough. Lei Jie. Miller's words are indeed a headache for Dunleavy, but fortunately, O'Neal and Wallace's playing time is not limited to less than 25 minutes by the team doctor. Such a playing time is the best for the two veterans.
"This is not a problem. I think whoever plays well should play, but when Shaq and Rashid are no longer young, their playing time of 20 minutes is a better choice, so Lamar's playing time just used up Steve last season. Novak and McCrovert's, this is the solution to the problem. What Barkley said made sense and was unanimously agreed.
At this time, the referee whistled, and the players from both sides appeared again. The Clippers were O'Neal and Tyson. Chandler, Odom, Lin Fei, Andre. Miller, the Spurs replaced Parker, Duncan, Oboto, Ginobili and Jefferson to form the lineup.
Andre. Miller passed the ball to Lin Fei outside the 45-degree three-point line. Lin Fei stabilized his body and was not in a hurry to attack, facing Ginobili's defense.
Continuous ** dribble changes direction. The basketball is like integrating with the body under Lin Fei's control. Ginobili does not dare to relax at all. Lin Fei's fear of Ginobili's defensive end is far less than the offensive end. He still dribbles the ball unsurprising. The ball alternates back and forth between his hands, and suddenly his shoulders turn to the right. Shaking, the center of gravity of the body also tilts to the right.
"Breakthrough from the left?" Ginobili quickly moved to his left side according to his own judgment, trying to block Lin Fei's breakthrough line. However, Lin Fei abruptly changed his direction of breakthrough at this moment. As soon as his ankle changed, his body's center of gravity shifted instantly. Lin Fei, who originally broke through to the right, turned to the left. Everything came like this. Suddenly, Ginobili's defense was completely caught off guard.
Shaking the position, Lin Fei immediately adjusted his speed to the maximum and rushed in directly facing the inside line.
Duncan looked at Lin Fei coming in and greeted him. Lin Fei was not afraid and jumped up to meet Duncan.
When he was about to meet Duncan, Lin Fei shook his body and twisted the raised ball. At the same time, he glided to Duncan's right side. The ball crossed his left hand and passed through Duncan's armpit. His wrist shook, and the basketball flew to the basket.
When Lin Fei landed, he heard the crisp sound of wiping the net.
With Lin Fei's beautiful change to the basket this time, the Clippers pulled the fork to double digits. This was the first time that the Clippers pulled the difference to double digits.
Attack and defense conversion, the ball came to Ginobili's hand. Lin Fei's goal just came from his defensive failure. Ginobili's face did not show a strong desire, but he told Lin Fei with practical actions. Facing Lin Fei two consecutive **, one shook left and right, and then tore Lin Fei's defense apart.
Once again, the flexible dodge-up player sent the ball into the basket.
Lin Fei saw Ginobili's goal and smiled.
