The Hornets have excellent inside defense, and Brevin Knight has begun to hand over basketball more to Artest.

Today, the beast has a great advantage in positioning. When Peja was at his peak, he was barely at mid-season level. Now he is covered in injuries and is older. No matter how you look at it, he is a soft boy, and the best target to bully him.

Peja had no choice but to face Artest, who had a hard bridge and a hard horse, and could only rely on his teammates to help him defend.

Three minutes in the first quarter passed, with a score of 6:4, and the Clippers led by 2 points

All the 4 points Hornets got were earned by Chris Paul alone.

Paul knew that this would not work. The last time he broke into the inside, he almost got Ji Guohuo's hat. The Clippers' twins' defense was getting closer and closer, and it would be more difficult to continue to play hard. Sooner or later, he would be hit.

The Hornets attacked the pick-and-roll this time. Paul and West's pick-and-roll cooperation is not as famous as Nash and Sir Jr., but looking at their second-place record in the West, you will know that it is definitely not easy to deal with.

After Ji Guomo was pick-and-roll, he did not delay the obstacles and threatened Chris Paul, and the young master gave his brother Ji Guochou to his brother to make up for defense in the interior. He wanted to focus all his attention on West. This guy's mid-range shot was even better than that of Xiao Si.

Paul was blocked by Ji Guoxie's passing route. After pick-and-roll, he could only take the ball and attack by himself. The Queen Bee broke into the free throw line and did not continue to go deeper. She stopped and stepped back and jumped, and hit another goal before Ji Guoqiu made up for defense.

"It won't work like this, I can't go in every time."

Chris Paul scored six points in a row, which made Hornet fans in front of the TV very excited. But the Queen Bee knew that this was not a good thing, and his teammates didn't have a chance, so he couldn't win the game by himself.

"Run, don't stop."

Paul said the whole story in the team. Anything he felt dissatisfied would be directly raised to his teammates, and no one dared to disobey the Hornets.

The Clippers attacked, Brevin Knight dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and also played a pick-and-roll with Ji Guochou. After breaking through, he handed the ball to the Panda brother who was pulling it to the wing.

The younger brother Ji Guomeng quickly inserted into the basket from the weak side. David West, who was defending him, did not lose his position, followed closely by his side, and seemed to have no room for passing.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Guomeng's weak side cut should not be threatening, and his passing route has been blocked by West.

But no one expected that his brother Ji Guoqiu would still pass the basketball in this situation.

Just as Ji Guoqiu passed the basketball, his younger brother Ji Guomo suddenly hit West with his body, causing the latter to stiffen for a moment. It was such an ordinary physical confrontation that the two brothers made a fleeting opportunity to catch the ball.

The basketball passed through the crowd and went straight to Ji Guomo under the basket.

David West was so uncomfortable at this time. He had already followed the defense and blocked the pass space. But at the moment when he felt the awkward moment, the basketball came from the crowd. His palm was less than 10cm away from blocking the basketball at this moment, but at this moment, it seemed so far away. He could only watch Ji Guomomori get the basketball and scored two points with a layup that could no longer be easily.

"Staples Stadium" instantly boiled, and Clippers fans once again saw the exquisite passing cooperation of the two brothers. This kind of pass was extremely dangerous, with only a line of mistakes and assists. However, after success, it can best stimulate the number of adrenal glands of the fans.

Charles Barkley applauded: "Acrobatic pass! I like to see such passes, but the twin brothers would better not take risks anymore. Next time it is likely to be a mistake."

Kenny Smith smiled and said, "This kind of ball can only be seen in the twin brothers at present. I think only they can cooperate with the entire NBA in such a tacit understanding. Look at that ball, it was less than ten centimeters away from West's palm, and it did not cause any mistakes. It was simply incredible!"

The Hornets continued to play pick-and-roll on the offensive end. This time, David West cut out from behind the pick-and-roll and received a pass from Paul on the wing, giving him a one-on-one opportunity with Ji Guohu.

David West made a mid-range shot directly, and Ji Guomeng hurriedly stepped forward to block the game. West tricked his opponent and immediately closed the ball and broke through. He used his excellent steps to quickly hit the basket. He took off before Ji Guochuo made up for defense, and scored two points with a simple one-handed slam dunk.

Ji Guoqiu closed the block at the last moment of the basket, but he was still a beat slower, making a quick judgment in his heart, knowing that forcibly blocking would end with a foul.

"My fault, I will pay attention to his breakthrough next time." Ji Guomori said in his heart.

The next attack by the Clippers, Brevin handed the basketball to Ji Guomeng, asking him to fight David West alone.

Ji Guomeng held the ball on the wing, leaned back first, and then passed the basketball in front of West that he could not see, to Ji Guochuo, who was at the free throw line, quickly turned around and cut into the basket...

When Ji Guoqiu received the basketball, he did not stop and immediately threw the basketball towards the basket. This was the air relay of the two brothers.

Chandler and West knew that something was wrong, so they immediately turned around and rushed to the basket.

Ji Guomomoto took advantage of his faster speed to run to the basket first, jumped quickly to catch the basketball in the air, and dunked heavily with both hands with a powerful and heavy blow, and with a "bang", he dunked the basketball into the basket!

The Clippers fans are now shocked again. Taylor Swift on the sidelines and the Clippers fans around him stand up and cheer for Ji Guohun’s slam dunk!

Barkley said in the live broadcast room: "The twin brother is 6-foot-11, but he has good bounce and agility. No matter what kind of defender he faces, he will rush straight to the basket, and the 15-22-foot jump shot is also very accurate, making it difficult to guard against the big man."

At 7 minutes and 30 seconds in the first quarter, the score was 10:8, and the Hornets took the lead in calling a timeout.

Hornets head coach, Byron Scott, is not satisfied with the team's inside defense. The two rookies have scored 6 points on their heads and must be suppressed by the two twins.

"Tyson, David, after you get back on the court, you can switch defense. On the offense, our outside line needs to increase the ball run. Peja, the beast you are going to deal with is very powerful, but he is also very clumsy. I believe you can find a way to get rid of him."

After the timeout, Peja indeed used West's unball cover to run out of an open space, then received a wonderful pass from Paul and made a wing three-pointer.

Old Dunleavy was also wondering at this time, should Artest and Percy exchange defensive targets on the defensive end?

It is true that Artest can bully Peja on the offense, but on the other hand, his speed is indeed not fast enough on the defensive end, and it is also easy for opponents to use their own weaknesses to get opportunities.

He hasn't considered it well yet, and the Hornets' defensive end has already exchanged two inside players for defense.

Ji Guoqiu received the ball from the wing, his defensive player became David West, and Ji Guomo followed Tyson Chandler.

Old Dunleavy smiled immediately after seeing the Hornets' defensive arrangement. On the court, Ji Guochou was stunned for a moment, then immediately passed the basketball to Artest. He and his brother moved outward to pull the defense, clearing the Hornets' inside.

"Although the two brothers scored a few points in a row, our offense is still Artest. What's the use of exchanging the twins' counterattacks?" Old Dunleavy laughed in his heart and sighed in his heart that Scott was still young.

Scott soon discovered that using Tyson Chandler to defend Ji Guohuo was a bad move. Their inside line became more empty. The fox kept wandering on the outside line. Chandler would stay away from the basket, and the team's inside deterrence was gone.

Artest successfully beat Pega, but Scott's cold face still had no expression. He called Pega on the sidelines and said directly: "You go to defend your twin brother, let David defend Artest, Tyson re-faces the twin brother, and the arrangement that was suspended last time will be invalid."

Peja nodded and signaled to understand.

Few NBA coaches will overturn their arrangements so quickly, but Coach Scott did this without expression and did not think there was anything wrong with doing this.

On the offensive end of the Hornets, Chris Paul attracted Percy to double-team and threw the basketball to Morris Peters who was ambushed at the angle of degree. The latter caught the ball and shot quickly and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Old Dunleavy was just laughing at the opponent's defensive arrangements, and now he couldn't laugh immediately.

Ji Guomeng was very puzzled when the Clippers attacked. What kind of defensive arrangement was the Hornets today? How did they change one after another?

Now the defender in front of him has become Peja again, and his defender has been changed three times in less than half a quarter.

Artest received the basketball again, and the defense of him became David West.

The twins continued to pull out, pulling the opponent's defensive forces, creating the opportunity for one-on-one strong fight for Artest.

Artest was not stupid either. When he saw his defensive player being replaced by West, he knew that he would not be able to gain any advantage by using his body to be hard, so he immediately chose to break through the frame.

West stepped in defense, Artest broke into the penalty area with the ball, Chandler returned to the basket at this time, and the Hornets two insiders trapped the beast in the three-second zone at the same time.

Artest is now in the same trouble as West at the beginning, and is blocked in the three-second zone and cannot pass the ball. Although he knows that there must be an open position to pass Ji Guochou, Chandler's long arms blocked the passing route.

"Dou!" The referee silenced three times in his mind, and immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.

Artest did not choose to force the ball, and would rather get a 3-second violation at the basket, at least doing so would not give the opponent a chance to fight back.

The Clippers did not make a fight this time, but they still did not give up on the fight against Artest.
