Billups had a strong attack in the first quarter, making 3 three-pointers four times, and scored 14 points in a single quarter. Although Ji Guomeng made only 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter, he played like shit, the Clippers still led the Hornets by 5 points 34:29 with the performance of the key man.

Paul's face had already become particularly unhappy. Billups scored consecutive goals on his head, which was definitely a shame for Chris Paul, who has become a superstar!

The Queen Bee did her best in the first quarter, but his relationship with Billups is like Howard and Yao Ming, or Yao Ming and Boozer. Billups is his natural miser. The key man has the advantage in physical terms. He has shown confidence in Paul in the past few seasons. After that, every time he sees Xiao Zhengtai, he will be furious!

Chris Paul scored 12 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, and Bynum also scored 6 points, but West did not perform well with 0 of 3 shots.

Byrons Cote knew that although Bynum played well on the offensive end after coming to the Hornets, New Orleans seemed to be a pseudo-three giant. But he knew better that Bynum would not suffer a big loss when encountering Ji Guoqiu. The Hornets wanted to defeat the Clippers, but they were not relying on him. They could only rely on Chris Paul. The Queen Bee must burst out energy far beyond Billups on the offensive end. However, the two contested in the first quarter made Byron Scott not expect too much. Billups scored two more points than Paul. If this continues, it would be impossible for the Hornets to win.

In the second quarter, Paul only took two minutes to rest and then went back on the court. The Hornets are different from the Celtics. The latter can't fall out of the top three in the Eastern Conference no matter how they play. If they think it's not worth it, they can strategically give up a certain regular season game. However, the New Orleans Hornets are not good. They have been wandering around the seven or eight positions at the beginning of the season, and have fallen out of the top eight positions before the trade. The Hornets cannot give up easily in every game, otherwise they may be squeezed out of the top eight by the Mavericks, Jazz and even the Thunder. They must try their best to win against the top eight in the previous league.

Chris Paul's three-pointer is strictly speaking, and he is also somewhat confusing. When he is accurate, he feels he can make an in. In the end, he really makes an in. When he is not accurate, he gives people the feeling that he can make an in. Of course, he can't get in. In the second quarter, Paul faced Dragic, and the Queen Bee naturally won't let this rookie bully him. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area twice in a row and then made a cold shot from the outside, scoring 7 points in a row.

Old Dunleavy could only call a timeout. Paul was like a loach and was traveling back and forth in their defensive formation, and he had to narrow the encirclement and oppress his range of activities. Old Dunleavy's countermeasure was to double-team, and there was no other way. Billups could not defend Paul in the first quarter, but the two brothers were in the inside line, and it was not easy to attack when the Queen Bee broke in, so he could only choose to pass the ball. Now Jordan's Amir Johnson's inside combination obviously could not do this, and Chris Paul was like wandering in the sea.

The two brothers entered March and their playing time began to decrease. This was a change made by the old Dunleavy based on the decline in the data of the two in February. This season, the two brothers often played more than 40 minutes. Although their physical strength was abnormal, they were still affected by physical strength in the second half of the season, and their shooting percentage and scoring efficiency both declined in February.

Old Dunleavy must now prepare for the playoffs. If the two continue to maintain such high-intensity games, they may not be able to perform last season when they enter the playoffs, because their energy has been overdrawn in the regular season. Many Clippers fans also criticized Old Dunleavy for not doing well in rotation. In this regard, you can refer to the Spurs. The GDP combination plus Jamison, the four players have only 30 minutes of playing time, and the Spurs’ record is not much worse than the Clippers. If these four people were handed over to Old Dunleavy, most of them would have been scrapped long ago.

In the second quarter, Chris Paul, the core of the Hornets, broke out first. After the Clippers suspended the use of double-teams, David West took over the attack mission in the interior. His touch was still not good, but he used his experience and skills to make two substitute inside fouls in a row, and went to the free throw line to help the Hornets overtake the score.

Crawford did not get lost today. He faced James Percy during the bench. Although his condition has declined this season, his top defensive ability can be seen in some games. For example, today, he used his experience and familiarity with the Clippers to limit Crawford very well. He also stole a pass from the Clippers in the second quarter, helping the Hornets continue to expand their lead.

Dunleavy, the old man, saw the Hornets expand the score gap on the court, still did not rush to replace the two brothers. Now the Clippers and Hornets are the opposite. They also don’t care about losing one or two games. Since they are preparing to limit the playing time of the inside core, they simply let the team’s substitutes feel the feeling of being in adversity and always play with the twins’ butts. When encountering real trouble in the playoffs, it is easy to be at a loss. To win the championship, it is not only about five starters, but also about players who can stand up on the bench.

The Clippers wanted to see if their substitute could fight a tough battle. Barnes was the first to stand up. After Dragic's breakthrough was double-teamed, Barnes cut into the basket and received the pass, jumped into the air and pressed out. A powerful and heavy dunk boosted the team's morale. Then Crawford played Percy alone on the outside, and finally used his signature jump ball layup to make the latter a foul and got two free throws.

Dragic understood that they fought according to the Clippers' tactics. Percy was too threatening. He knew the Clippers' tactics well, and the Hornets must have been taught by him before the game. However, they did not have so many problems with their personal abilities to attack. They did not play the team's conventional tactics to small-scale cooperation and singles, but instead played Crawford's top 1v1 ability.

At 7 minutes and 10 seconds in the second quarter, Dunleavy saw a score of 41:44. Although the Hornets were still overtaken by three points in half a quarter, the substitute faced the main player, and this performance was barely qualified.

Old Dunleavy waved his hand and the Clippers replaced the main player in the inside, and the lineup on the field became: Billups, Avraro, Barnes, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqiong.

The Hornets also replaced Bynum again, and most of the main players of both teams returned to the court.

As soon as Ji Guomeng came on the court, his attack was extremely strong. He received a basketball and went straight to a long shot two steps away from the three-point line. As a result, he almost made a three-point shot. The basketball hit the rebound and bounced into the giant pandas' hands below without touching the basket.

"What are you looking at? I'm passing the ball, do you understand?" Ji Guomori shouted in anger when he saw West looking at him with a strange look.

"It's okay, I'm also 0 of 4 shots." West had a good temper and directly pointed out the embarrassing fact that Ji Guomeng made 1 of 7 shots.

Many fans in the New Orleans Arena were loudly mocking Ji Guomo's shooting, but they were also a little lacking in confidence, because Panda brother got two points on the spot after receiving the basketball, which seemed to be very similar to a pass just now?

"Good spread!"

Ji Guochou shouted at the dead fox at this time. The Hornets players looked very good on their faces. Bynum even had a moment of doubt and thought to himself: "Is this ball really a pass by brother Fox?"

Chris Paul didn't care whether Ji Guohuo was pretending or pretending to be a chess. He couldn't calm down when he saw Billups in front of him. As a superstar, how could he be restrained? Logius shouldn't be restrained. It was entirely the previous match between Queen Bee and Billups. Because of his young relationship, he was taught a lesson from Mr. MVP of the Peak Pistons. But now, his ability has long surpassed Billups and should not be beaten by the other party again.

In fact, it is not just him who has such a problem. Ji Guoqiu was beaten badly in several rookie matches with Duncan in the rookie season. As a result, he still feels miserable when he meets Duncan now. This is definitely not because of the lack of progress from Panda brother, but because of psychological reasons, and the psychological effect of both sides. After Duncan beat the giant panda a few times, he felt very confident when facing Ji Guoqiu, so he performed very well every time. After one after another, he had such a seemingly restrained result. But as long as the player breaks through the shackles in his heart, all the nemesis and the bitter master are nonsense.

Ji Guomo has no such problem. This is caused by his personality, but his poor touch today hurt the Clippers. Moreover, this guy made 1 of 7 shots, but he still dared to make a shot. Soon his data turned into 1 of 8 shots.

The Hornets saw that Ji Guomomiya must have shit and didn't wash his hands today. In the second quarter, he let him go from the outside and chose to double-team Billups and Ji Guocho, who performed well.

"If you don't make sure you make a decision, just break through!" Ji Guochou saw that the score difference was about to be widened by the Hornets to double digits, and knew that the dead fox would continue to be so strong, so he explained it today.

"Yes, I almost forgot that I would break through. TMD was so scared by the bad touch!" Ji Guomeng did not blush at all. After saying that, he continued to ask for the ball.

Ji Guomo here has not yet developed his breakthrough plan. Chris Paul first made a strong three-pointer against Billups from outside the three-point line, and also caused a foul by the key gentleman, making a 3+1 shot!

The New Orleans Arena was in an instant. Their Queen Bee could not beat the 32-year-old Billups in the first quarter, which made Hornets fans feel a little frustrated. However, in the second quarter, Chris Paul finally gained the upper hand in the frontal competition with Billups. The Queen Bee's goal helped the Hornets lead the Clippers by 12 points. The score of the two teams expanded to double digits for the first time today.

In the second quarter, the score was 4:55, and the Hornets scored an 11:2* in three minutes, widening the gap to 12 points.
