Ji Guomeng was as tired as a dog, but he contributed two steals in just a few minutes. He had four steals in the first half, so he had 6 steals in this game. All fans watching this game could see that the fox was working back and forth in the interior to assist the Rockets players at a speed that was not inferior to Ariza. The Clippers also relied on his steals to hit several counterattacks, and the score gap was wider and wider.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "This is the second best defensive player and the best defensive team. Why does he have a vote-game second only to Ji Guoqiu? Fox is now fully displayed to everyone."

Although Ji Guomeng is as tired as a dog, his defense has indeed caused great trouble to the Rockets. The Fox brother who is doing his best can defend two at one time, so other Clippers players would not have lost their position. If Marbury and Bathir hadn't thrown two lucky three-pointers during this period, the Rockets might have been led by the Clippers by more than ten.

The second quarter was 3 minutes and 40 seconds, with a score of 46:38, and the Clippers led by 8 points.

Crawford performed poorly on the offensive end today. He met Ariza, who transferred from the Lakers. This is a new generation of defensive champion with speed, height and consciousness. He played with Bathir in the Rockets for half a season and became smarter on the defensive end. He was no less than the two defensive champions of the Clippers.

The Rockets watched the Clippers' sixth man, but they were still behind because the Clippers' defense was better. Today, the main theme of the two teams was defense, although the score was not too low.

Compared to defense, the Clippers have twin brothers, plus Garcia and Barnes. They are not afraid of any team.

Ji Guochou continued to fly kites. Today he became one of the arrows on the Clippers' offensive end. Soon after, he also made some achievements outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Although the Rockets have good defense, they often make some simple mistakes, which is very difficult. Even the Thunder knows that the Animal Brothers cannot make three-pointers in the arc, but the Rockets, who have better defense, let the two brothers make one in the arc in the second quarter of this game.

Adelman called a timeout, but Ji Guoqiu's 18-foot shot was still unstoppable. He replaced his younger brother today and played the role of running without the ball and receiving the ball. Ji Guomiang spent all his energy on defense and had a weak sense of presence on the offensive end.

The Rockets found that the method of passing Yao Ming by detours at both ends was no longer possible, so they decisively asked Marbury and Yao Ming to perform pick-and-roll. This move is the most commonly used tactic of the Rockets. From Francis to McGrady, to Marbury now, the pick-and-roll of Yao Ming and the team's star defenders, has always been one of the core tactics that the Rockets rely on to win.

The Clippers also had some precautions against this move. The whole team contracted, and it was Ji Guomo who made up for the defense and broke through Marbury at the basket. Ji Guochou firmly blocked Yao Ming's catch route. The two brothers rely on outstanding steps. It is easier to defend the Rockets' pick-and-roll cooperation.

The Rockets' conventional tactics were suppressed and they could not make any unconventional tactics. All Adelman could do was limited. At the end of the midfield, the score was 55:45, and the Clippers led the Rockets ten thousand and entered the second half.

Ji Guochou scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Ji Guomomiley scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 6 steals, Billups scored 13 points, 2 assists, and Crawford scored 6 points.

Yao Ming scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Marbury scored 8 points, 3 assists, Cora scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, Brooks scored 5 points, 3 assists, Sardavi Lee scored 4 points, 3 rebounds, Battier scored 5 points, Ariza scored 4 points, and Weaver scored 3 points.

During the halftime break, Dunleavy praised the whole team. He believed that his players did a good job in the first half, especially Ji Guomeng, who was the biggest contributor to the team's leading position. In the second half, Dunleavy also knew that Ji Guomeng could not continue to play like this. The team's strategic focus shifted from defense to offense, and the defense could be relaxed appropriately. As long as they opened the offensive end and had the advantage of 10 points, it would be difficult for the Rockets to catch up.

The Rockets also adjusted the midnight break. In the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets used the tactic of using Yao Ming as bait when dealing with the Trail Blazers, taking advantage of the little giants' need to double-team to create scoring opportunities for other Rockets players. Therefore, in the first round of the series, Yao Ming had several games with not very good personal data, but the Rockets won the game in the end.

Moreover, there are pros and cons to bets on the front defense. The disadvantage is that it is not good to protect the defensive rebounds. Yao Ming still scored 10 points in the first half, and many of them were tip-offs after grabbing the rebound. Ji Guoqiu only had 4 rebounds in the first half, which was the price paid for Yao Ming to bets on the front defense. But it is not possible to not bets on the front, so Yao Ming is so difficult to deal with. At the same time, he also explained why the Trail Blazers did not use the front road as soon as they came up because they were afraid that they could not hold back the backcourt rebounds.

In the second half, Scola made the first shot in the mid-range shot, and then Ji Guoqiu beat Yao Ming with his back on the inside. This is rare in this game. Ji Guoqiu's power cannot squeeze his opponent, so he squeezed twice, turned around and broke through immediately, used his steps to seize the opportunity, deliberately leaning towards Yao Ming, and when the two of them touched their bodies, the little giant would have a 100% foul.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Yao Ming's turn speed was far less than Ji Guoqiu. Once he was passed, he would not be able to catch up without a foul. Panda Hero's ball was gone for fouls from the beginning, and Yao Ming made the third foul.

"Continue to play the inside and attack!" Old Dunleavy was energetic on the sidelines and ordered Billups on the outside to strengthen their breakthroughs. Their current goal is to fight to defeat Yao Ming.

The Clippers' defensive end in the second half was reduced, and at least they could not see Ji Guomeng running back and forth like in the first half. Yao Ming got another chance at the basket and turned around and scored two points on Ji Guochong.

Old Dunleavy ordered the team to strengthen breakthroughs on the outside, but Billups ignored Old Dunleavy at all. The Clippers' players are guys with explosive basketball IQs. Sometimes, it is difficult for coaches like Old Dunleavy to obey their rules.

Billups decisively handed the basketball over to Ji Guomeng on the wing to let the little fox break through. He felt that Ji Guomeng was more sure of breaking through Scola than himself. As the team commander, Billups' assists may not be as good as Ji Guomeng, but his effect in the team is no worse than Ji Guomeng. He is the magic needle that can hold the team at critical moments.

Ji Guomeng received the basketball and indeed passed Scola without much effort. The Argentine's offense in the inside was indeed powerful. But he was not enough on the defensive end. In the eyes of the little fox, Scola's pace was more than half a beat slower. He effortlessly used a tomahawk-style dunk to score the basketball before Yao Ming made up for defense.

"Good guy, I know I don't want to kill you, you can't play like this!" Yao Ming was very frustrated at the basket. He would not use malicious fouls against Ji Guomeng, and the other party was the same. Ji Guomeng knew that Yao Ming was one step slower. He could only watch him do whatever he wanted, so he dared to perform a slam dunk so unscrupulously. If Mutombo was standing at the basket, Ji Guomeng would not dare to be so arrogant. Uncle Mu would probably give him a elbow and even if he was sent out, he would do whatever he wanted.

"Brother Yao, at worst, I can watch you next time you dunk." In the whole league, only Ji Guomeng can say such shameless words.

Yao Ming was speechless. He didn't want Bi Lian as much as Ji Guomeng, so he turned around and made a pick-and-roll for Marbury. Then he scored a two-pointer from the free throw line.

Ji Guoqiu has put his hand on this ball, but Yao Ming still shot the basketball into the basket. Yao Ming has been strengthening his mid-range shooting in the shooting training these days. He and Adelman know that under the defense of the two brothers, there are not many opportunities for him to go deep into the basket, and he must pick up his mid-range shooting.

Ji Guomeng got out again on the offensive end and received the basketball, and then used a ruthless breakthrough attack on Scola. The latter was once again passed by Ji Guomeng. However, Ji Guomeng did not succeed this time, because he didn't know when, a bald head stood on his breakthrough route? When Ji Guomeng saw clearly that it was Bathir, the Rockets captain had already fallen out neatly.

"Damn it, I forgot that the Rockets have this guy!" Ji Guomeng suffered more than once in the regular season, but he was still hit in the playoffs.

The referee turned his arm twice, pointing to the backcourt, and clearly judged an offensive foul. Bathir used his best assisting defense to create an offensive foul.

"Next time, I will definitely not be hit!" Ji Guomo ran back in disappointment. He said this more than once.

Although the Clippers were made an offensive foul by the Rockets, Ji Guomomoto was angry. He was a guy who had to get back after suffering losses and was extremely cautious. He could take advantage of others in the game, but he would never allow himself to suffer losses. Also in daily life, he was the kind of bitch who could cheat on himself but asked his girlfriend to be loyal to him.

Although the Fox brother's personality is very cheap and deserves a beating, on the court, players with this personality are just needed, and it is this spirit to lead the team to win continuously. If it is a harmonious group, players like Yao Ming are actually not suitable to be team leaders. They can't suffer losses on the basketball court, and then let the opponent suffer losses.

Ji Guomeng was unhappy and used his mad dog-like defense again. The Rockets didn't check for a while. Marbury's cross pass was taken off by Ji Guomeng with his long arm. The Clippers made another quick counterattack. Ji Guomeng rushed to the frontcourt and scored a goal after receiving the pass. Not only did he make up for the result, but he also took a little advantage.

The Clippers' offense greatly improved the team's morale. The players spontaneously strengthened the pressing on the defensive end. The Rockets' next offense was completely unable to find any opportunity. Weaver missed a strong shot in the end, and the Fox brother grabbed the rebound again at the basket. The Clippers quickly launched a counterattack.

Billups dribbled quickly, and in principle, such an offense could not be counterattacked, but the Rockets retreated this time and did not fully expect that once the Clippers players were excited, they would increase their intensity on both ends of the offense and defense. This is the effect of their outstanding athletic talent. When adrenaline surges, those guys in good health will burst out with vitality far beyond their imagination. Now the Clippers players are obviously in this state.

The two brothers quickly landed. Yao Ming had just passed the midfield and Scola had just reached the three-point line. However, four players from the Clippers had already rushed into the three-point line. How to defend this?

Ji Guomeng received the basketball at the basket, and he had a chance to dunk directly, but the little fox saw Ji Guochuo on the opposite side had no defense at all, so he threw the basketball lightly. The two brothers made an inside pass in the three-second zone, and the Panda brother poured the ball into the basket with both hands.

"Do you kid want to get a triple-double?" Ji Guoqiu knew what the dead fox was thinking when he dunked. Even without telepathy, he could guess.
