Chapter 14 Winning Streak

In the first half, Oden had 5 mistakes, but he finally got 5 points by free throws and bargains, which means that he made mistakes every point he scored on average. He could not grab the two brothers on rebounds. Although he was a size larger than the two, he only had a pitiful 2 rebounds in the half, and there was not even one of them in the frontcourt board.

For a big man like him, such a performance is really embarrassing.

He is the No. 1 pick? But in the first half, he looked clearly a single pick, and he couldn't even beat two final picks.

The only thing that can praise Portland media is that Oden did not disappoint in defense. Ji Guochou found it difficult to get points in this No. 1 pick with amazing physical fitness. He only scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the first half.

The Clippers' media laughed. Ji Guochou's data was still a complete defeat of Oden, scoring, rebounding, assisting and blocking, and more than twice as many as his.

Ji Guomo, facing the Trail Blazers' substitute power forward, performed the same as in the previous two games, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks in the first two games. On the defensive end, his assisted defense also made the No. 1 pick. In Oden's eyes, he was like a ghost, appearing at the most critical moment every time.

This so-called critical moment was the most uncomfortable moment when Oden felt. His back was obviously already squeezing away Ji Guoqiu with his strength. Another guy with the same appearance would appear on time at this time, interfering with his shooting, or just blowing the basketball out...

The two brothers' decisive defense finally relieved the worries that Old Dunleavy had arisen after Brand's reimbursement.

At this time, the old coaches in the playoffs no longer thought about it.

This season, training newcomers may be their only goal.

In the second half, Oden continued to suffer from the destruction of the two brothers. As soon as he received the ball, he would immediately face the double-team defense of the two.

Yao Ming is difficult to perform well when facing double-teams, let alone this rookie No. 1 pick. He is not as domineering as O'Neal when he first entered the league.

On the offensive end, Ji Guomeng performed better in the second half, hitting three-pointers from the outside continuously, constantly improving his scoring data.

When 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter, Ji Guomeng hit another three-pointer, his score had risen to 23 points, 11 points in a single quarter, and he also hit 3 three-pointers.

Old Dunleavy and Trail Blazers head coach McMillan both looked at Ji Guomo with surprised eyes. It was hard to believe that this last round pick would have such excellent shooting ability?

Ji Guomeng held his right hand hard and thought to himself: "The control of the body is getting better and better, and the shooting feeling is even better than in his previous life. Is this the potential of this body? What kind of body will I be reborn in? Will there be any progress in the future?"

He asked several questions in his heart in a row, purely talking to himself. But Ji Guoqiu heard it, and he replied in his heart: "My body is the same. I feel that strength, bounce, and speed are becoming better with training, and we really get an amazing body."

At this time, Ji Guochou also scored excellent data of 7 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. His excellence is more reflected in the defensive end. He is the main force in defending Oden. Ji Guomo is just seizing the opportunity to help defend and get cheap.

Ji Guomomoto scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks. His offensive ability completely outperformed Oden today. After these three summer league games, only Durant's data can be compared with him this year's rookies. This is something no one expected in advance.

Old Dunleavy did not send two brothers in the fourth quarter. They were already 20 points ahead of the Trail Blazers in the third quarter, and they lost the suspense early in the fourth quarter.

At the last moment of the third quarter, Oden was already a little angry and embarrassed. He had a malicious foul against Ji Guoqiu. Although he did not hurt Ji Guoqiu, the old coach was frightened. He couldn't stand the bad news that someone was injured again.

However, before the two brothers left, Oden was the one who was carried down first.

When Ji Guomo was defending, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He did not hit the blue ball when blocking, but instead directly slapped Oden's fragile nose and blood flowed. The No. 1 pick was immediately replaced by the Trail Blazers coach and did not play again in this game.

"Boss, you have to be a little more ruthless against such a guy! I broke his nose and didn't hurt him for a few months because of his pitifulness." Ji Guomo said to his brother in his heart. The reason why Oden was pitiful was because they knew that Oden, the No. 1 pick, was a famous unlucky guy in NBA history. In the first season, he was reimbursed for injury before the regular season started, and then there seemed to be nothing in the future in his career...

Their memories of their past lives lasted until November 11, 2011. That day happened to be Singles' Day, and it was also the time for them to die. They don't know what happened in the future.

The game ended with the Los Angeles Clippers defeating the Portland Trail Blazers, with the Clippers winning three consecutive summer league games.

However, after the game, fans still had no expectations for the team this season.

The summer league is simply incomparable to the regular season. Looking at these three opponents, the Chinese team won't mention it, and the other two teams have not sent their main players. Winning such a game can only say that their rookies have chosen well this year. Maybe in a few seasons, the two twins they chose this year will grow, but this season, it is pragmatic and more realistic to strive to draw another good draw next year.

Ji Guohuo didn't worry so much, but he wanted to make a few bold statements, but Old Dunleavy and Ji Guoqiu did not give him the opportunity to face the media at all, and he did not bring him in the press conference after this game.

But it doesn't matter, he can still hear and see everything at the press conference from Ji Guoqiu's sight.

Today, the reporters did not attack Ji Guohuo again. One reason was that he did not come to the scene, and the other reason was that they had performed well in the past few games, and they had no excuses to make things difficult.

The reporters did not focus on the two brothers after the game, and asked questions about Elton Brand's injury.

The voice of the Clippers' official website is unknown, and there is no detailed and accurate news about Brand yet, such as whether the surgery was successful or not? How did it hurt? Is it possible to pay this season? They hope to get real and reliable news from the coach.

Old Dunleavy looked sad: "Yes, Brand will have surgery in the near future. He will be on the verge of at least 6 months after the operation is successful."

The reporters were satisfied. In 6 months, all regular season reimbursements would be made, and at most they would pay in the last few games. At that time, the Clippers were either the last or the second to last.

Want to enter the playoffs? There is no goal...

Ninety-nine percent of the media in the United States have made a conclusion at this moment: "The Los Angeles Clippers will become the biggest bottom in the West this year!"

After defeating the Trail Blazers, on July 14, the Clippers will then fight against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Paul Gasol, the Grizzlies' core, did not come to Las Vegas with the team. This game was another match between substitutes and rookies.

Mike Conley and the two brothers are not players in the same position and cannot see a head-on battle between the two sides, but in terms of the final personal data, the Grizzlies' No. 4 pick obviously lost to the two brothers.

In this game, the two teams were in a stalemate. It was not until the last minute that Yuki Guohumilius's key three-pointer expanded the score to 5 points, locking the victory of the game.

The two brothers played for 33 minutes today, which was the most playing time since the four games of the Summer League.

Ji Guoqiu continued to perform well on the defensive end today, scoring 9 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. Ji Guomi also continued to perform on the offensive end, with 28 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, setting a new record in the summer league. Today, he made 5 of 10 three-pointers, and ten shots outside the three-point line set a new high in his number of shots.

Mike Conley of the Grizzlies only scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. No matter which of the two brothers, it seems to be at a disadvantage.

Although Ji Guochou did not score in double digits, his 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks reflect his versatility, especially on the defensive end.

Nowadays, such an inside player is very scarce. Players of the same level can get a maximum salary in the inside player, while those on the outside may not even be able to make it to the annual salary of tens of millions.

The value of outstanding big men in the NBA is much higher than that of smaller men.

On July 16, 2007, the Clippers will play against the Sacramento Kings in their last game.

It is worth mentioning that today's defense of Ji Guohuo was Francisco Garcia, who had made 2 of 14 shots before.

Many domestic fans are waiting to see Ji Guomo's performance. The twin brother's data in the first four games made Space Yi the No. 6 rookie. Today he also has to face Garcia, who was embarrassed to defend Space Yi not long ago. Everyone wants to see. Through such an intuitive comparison, how big is the difference between the two?

Now domestic media have also begun to increase their coverage of the two brothers. In the last game, after the press conference, a Chinese reporter asked Ji Guochou questions.
