A dead ball appeared on the court, and the main players of both teams were replaced.

Ji Guomo smiled in his heart and said, "You are right. Anyway, we spend all Sterling's money, so we won't feel sorry for him. As long as the team's strength is not affected."

The Clippers' performance on the defensive end was much better during the minute they waited on the sidelines. Although Joel Anthony was a little expensive, the role played on the defensive end was still very obvious. His partner with Jordan Jr. was effective, and Baria's breakthrough was suppressed a lot.

In the second quarter, the Clippers replaced three inside players, and the two brothers did not defend Nowitzki. This task was handed over to Joel Anthony, and the blue-collar workers were used to do this job. However, considering Nowitzki's singles ability, the two brothers could not stand aside and watch the show. As long as they had the chance, they had to go up and double-team. This is the best defensive plan in the eyes of Old Dunleavy.

NBA now has six top players, the top two are naturally Kobe and Wade, the third one is Nowitzki, the fourth one is Ji Guomeng, and the fifth one is Cameron Anthony, and James can only rank sixth. The reason will be discussed later.

This ranking is not a blind ranking, but a ranking based on the league's one-on-one scoring data last season. These six players scored the most points and were most efficient in one-on-one singles, so they naturally got this title.

The common points of the six of them are: solid basic skills, well-known in the ball, and proficient in almost all scoring methods. The single-handed fight is usually 45 degrees left and right, with the ball frame on the back, and then three threat spying steps, using the first step that is extremely threatening (Kobe and Wade's first step is very fast, Nowitzki and Ji Guohumiliation first step is very big, James and Anthony's first step is the most violent.). They can be said to be the six people who turn around in the league and use the best stops. A variety of attack methods are available. Play the defensive players in minutes.

Generally speaking, Nowitzki likes to use spy steps to influence the opponent's center of gravity first, then back and jump directly, which is simple and effective.

Brother Panda often uses this trick, but Ji Guomo is different. He likes to face the defensive players and then take a step back and jump shot, or break through the cross step and then turn around and shake the defender to pick the basket. Last season, he also likes to change his back and play, and fake moves to flick the middle distance and turn over and jump shot. However, this season has been less, but occasionally he will use it when facing thin defenders.

It is really surprising that Nowitzki is in this position. After all, there are so many singles experts in the league. Why can this German softie be in the top three, and he is still in front of the Fox Brother and Melon?

This is because the German's height advantage allows him to calmly make a jump shot from mid-range jump shot. Nowitzki's mid-range jump shot is also the best among the six players, so he can often directly pull up the jump shot after a test step. If the opponent is shaken away from the center of gravity by a test step, Nowitzki's huge first step can directly block the main defender's position and break through.

Don’t underestimate Nowitzki’s basic skills. Although his breakthrough is not good, his dribbling and ball protection ability is very solid. He is definitely not a softie who fans call him!

How solid is Nowitzki's basic skills? For example, when the opponent's defense has no flaws, Nowitzki can change his back. Because of his almost perverted shooting, the opponent can easily jump up the block when he makes a false turn and shooting move, so he is often clicked. After clicking the defender, Nowitzki can keep the rhythm unevenly. Even if his body is twisted, his touch can still maintain the stability of his training in the moment of shooting.

Joel Anthony suffered losses from these moves. Nowitzki relied on his height and often made a shot directly. As long as Anthony did not come forward to block it, Nowitzki immediately made a real move, shot directly, and took action before the two brothers were in charge.

After Nowitzki scored two consecutive goals, Anthony could only go forward and block. At this time, Nowitzki would immediately break through, and a kick was blocked by Anthony's position, breaking through the inside to create damage.

The Clippers have no good idea for the bastard Nowisky. When the two brothers' assisted defense arrived, Nowitzki had either shot or made a breakthrough. Old Dunleavy thought about it and still had to replace the two brothers to defend.

Joel Anthony is not bad, but he is more suitable to deal with inside players like Yao Ming and O'Neal, but he is just restrained against Nowitzki. However, no matter how good Nowitzki performs, the Mavericks did not close the score. Ji Guomeng also had full firepower after he came on the court, and the Mavericks were also unable to defend against this dead fox.

Ji Guomeng's advantage is that he is the player whose dribbling ability is second only to Kobe, and his dribbling ability is second only to Kobe and Wade. Compared to his identity as the fourth position, this guy is the one with the greatest potential, because his medium-range and long distance are also second only to Nowitzki. In terms of speed and explosive power, he is only inferior to Wade and James. Finally, with the best height and wingspan among the six players, do you still have to think about it? This guy's comprehensive ability is amazing. In a few years, he will definitely sit in the throne of the number one player, and there is no suspense.

When the Dead Fox plays singles at a long distance, he can use a series of high-difficulty change directions to shake the defender away. There are many singles, and there are more and more. The flexibility and explosive power of his body can also ensure that he can still rely on his snake waist and height to create a gap to complete the attack. The most hateful thing is that his hit rate is not yet bottom.

As I said before, James can only accompany the last place among these six players. This is not a bad guy. The singles skills of the top five players can be said to be based on their skillful jump shots. If you don't block them, he will enter. If you win, it turns out to be a fake move and you will be passed immediately. So, it is really important to have a basket that makes others frightened. James is undoubtedly the weakest among the six players. If it weren't for the strongest impact ability in the league, James would not be able to rank this position at all.

The second quarter is the time when the two superstars compete for offense. Nowitzki is powerful and difficult to double-team, but Ji Guoqiu is also the best defensive player after all. He can compete with Nowitzki for height, arm span, strength and consciousness, and use his top defensive ability to minimize Nowitzki's top attack power.

On the other hand, no one in the Mavericks' inside line can defend against Ji Guomo, and Carlisle can only use Marion to defend in dislocation.

The 2007-08 season, two seasons ago, the rookie fox faced Marion, who was at the peak. He was indeed beaten to the top. But now, the status of the two is no longer the same as before. Marion's defensive ability is not enough to suppress Ji Guohuo. After spying on the steps, the little fox directly took off a strong shot, using Nowitzki's unique skills, and the effect is very good.

Marion is only 203cm. Although the arm span is long, it is not as long as the fox brother. The two are at least 20cm apart from touching distance. So when Ji Guomeng jumps to the highest point, Marion can only touch the little fox's nose, which is difficult to seal even his eyes. Ji Guomeng also has an absolute advantage in the speed of the blast, and the attacking side is always a beat faster than the defensive side.

Ji Guomeng scored 15 points in the second quarter, and Billups also bullied Kidd from time to time on the offensive end. The Mavericks were defeated by the Clippers on the top and bottom lanes, and his mid laner was held tightly by the giant pandas. It would be strange if the base could still be kept. After half of the game, there was basically no suspense.

At the end of the half, the score was 75:60, and the Clippers still beat the Mavericks by two points in the second quarter. Their main lineup is really unsolvable. Old Hill, who seems to be the only weakness, is obviously 37 years old, and he can still attack and defend, and Carlisle is helpless.

Ji Guochou had 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomo had 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups had 13 points, 5 assists, Hill had 8 points, 2 assists, Crawford had 13 points, and Avraro had 6 points.

Nowitzki scored 18 points and 4 rebounds, Kidd scored 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Marion scored 9 points, Terry scored 12 points, Gottt scored 6 points and 2 rebounds, Drew Gooden scored 6 points, and Baria scored 4 points and 2 assists.

In the second half, the Mavericks still did not give up their hope of overtaking the score, and the 15-point fall was not at the end of their reach. But when the third quarter ended, they lost one more point. After the difference reached 16 points, anyone with discerning eyes knew that the game was over.

The "Clippers Law" has been launched. At this time, even if it is the Spurs and the Lakers, the chance of turning the tables is not high. The Clippers are already the champion team with two consecutive championships and the team with the highest combat power in the league. How can they be so easy to win?

Old Dunleavy made a rotation change at the end of the third quarter, replacing the two brothers in advance, allowing the two to appear directly on the court after the start of the fourth quarter. This is no pressure for the two who are more physically strong than last season. Not to mention, they did not play for this game for a long time. They had a full five minutes of rest in the first quarter and the second quarter, which was already enough for them. In fact, not to mention taking a five-minute break in the first half, even if they only had five minutes of rest in the whole game, it would not be a big problem for them. This is the standard attribute of superstars at the peak.

Ji Guochou suddenly exerted his strength in the last quarter, and the giant pandas showed their power in the inside. After two hooks, they had another three-pointer on the top of the arc, which narrowed the gap to 22 points in a blink of an eye, completely ending the Mavericks and also won the best in the game.

The final score was 130:104, and the Mavericks lost 26 points at the Clippers' home court, winning a crushing defeat they never expected before the game.

Although Cuban likes to fire fire, it is divided into occasions. Today, the Clippers won openly and honestly, and there is no problem with the referee's whistle. The two brothers defeated the Mavericks with their overwhelming firepower. There is nothing to say about such a failure, just not as good as others.

"I'm now calmer than before when it comes to the results of the game because I'm used to everything I see on the field."

But Cuban seemed very calm after the game. Even though he said he wanted to snipe the Clippers three consecutive championships, he certainly knew whether he had any confidence in his heart.

In the 2006 Finals, when the Mavericks led 2-0 but lost four games in a row, Cuban lost his composure in front of the referee, but now, as Nowitzki said after the game, people will never see such a Cuban again no matter what.

"I remember when he first bought the team, he would always be with us and train together. Now I think he is more inclined to family. He will not travel long distances with us in the away game like before, and he can't see him at all when he was training," Nowitzki said.

According to Forbes magazine, the Mavericks lost $14.5 million last year, largely because they spent $115 million on players' salaries and bonuses. The magazine counted the Mavericks' operating income year by year, with a total loss of $137 million since 2000, which does not include the 2009 statistics.

The Mavericks are the only team to make big money in the summer. Cuban doesn't care about the economic crisis. He is neither sure nor denying the number: "Of course I care, but like I said, I'm lucky that based on the current economic situation, we will have to make adjustments. But I've made enough money and all I lack is a champion."
