Chapter 10: Explode (Part 2)
Many journalists already know that Ji Guoqiu's bounce ability is exceptional among inside players. However, they do not know that although Ji Guoqiu's jump height is 10 cm lower than his brother's, his speed is even better, and a vertical jump of 70 cm is not considered low for most inside basketball stars.
Ji Guo got 2 points and 1 frontcourt rebound in this attack, with a total of 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.
He's already figured out that Maggette doesn't pass to either of the two brothers, this moron has shot 6 times so far and only made 2, low shooting percentage is one thing, but when they're open he doesn't even pass to them, it's as if he can't see them, it's ridiculous!
Lao Deng Li Wei naturally also saw it, he didn't know when the twins had a conflict with Magetti? Players not getting along is the most headache-inducing thing for any team's coach.
The fast break team attacked again, and this time Ji Guo Chou received the ball with his back to the basket on the free throw line. Ji Guo Chi immediately said through telepathy: "Don't pass the ball to Maggette, can't you see?"
Ji Guo Chou was somewhat hesitant, he's a person who prioritizes the bigger picture, his personality inherits all positive attributes, simply put, he's a high and mighty good guy, always being given a "good person" card by the goddess and being a backup.
Maggette didn't have an open position at that time, but there was a one-on-one opportunity. Ji Guochu didn't want the conflict to escalate to an irretrievable situation and didn't listen to Ji Gu's words, passing the ball instead.
Ji Guo cursed in his heart: "A good-for-nothing person, I won't speak again."
Lao Deng secretly praised Ji Guo in his heart: "This is a sensible child, mentally mature!"
Maggette received the basketball, feeling that it was deserved. Rookies should be sensible, but his dislike for the two had somewhat dissipated. Today, both of them performed well, and Maggette wasn't oblivious to that.
Defending him was Li Nan, a man in his thirties, even when he was young, he couldn't stop Maggette, let alone now?
Maggette accelerates, easily breaks through the opponent, and immediately jumps up for a slam dunk!
The score was 18-11, with China trailing by 7 points and 4 minutes and 4 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Not long after, basketball out of bounds, Lao Deng Liwei took the opportunity to replace the two brothers with a dead ball, leaving Maggette alone on the court.
The Chinese team also replaced Yao Ming, the "Little Giant" couldn't play a whole quarter, his physical strength wouldn't be able to keep up, besides he was playing with an injury today and couldn't play for too long.
Taoye was substituted by Younas again, and China's inside line combination on the field became the same as the last game against the Kings.
On the fast break, their substitute interior, power forward Tim Thomas and center Josh Powell substituted in.
Tim Thomas is an excellent long insider, last season averaged less than 30 minutes per game, can get 11 + 5 data, is a qualified role player, Clippers interior important rotation member.
Outer space is still at a disadvantage against Thomas and can't gain any advantage.
Thomas's defense is actually not good, can be said to be very poor, but Taikong Yi was beaten by Ji Guo Chi today and collapsed a bit, in less than a quarter of the time, he had no confidence.
Such a state would be enough to limit him even if Thomas defended poorly.
Two brothers came off, Maggette had no one to contend with on the court, could fire at will, just like JR Smith in the last game.
Objectively speaking, this year's Maggette is the best in his career. His originally not-so-reliable mid-range shot has also stabilized somewhat, and with his always sharp breakthroughs, China's weak perimeter defense really can't limit this guy who is hard to guard even in the NBA.
In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Maggette made a crazy breakthrough, mixed with several mid-range shots, and simply blew up the Chinese team.
The score was 28-16 in favor of the Clippers at the end of the first quarter, with a 12-point lead over China.
Maggette scored 13 points and 2 rebounds, Ji Zhe got 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, Ji Zhou had 0 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
The three starters of the Fast Boat team performed exceptionally well in both offense and defense.
The Chinese team only had Yao Ming score 10 points and grab 2 rebounds, Zhu Fangyu score 3 points, Wang Zhizhi score 2 points, and Sun Yue score 1 point.
It's a bit hard to comment on the reasonable master's rest period. He can imagine that if there was no Yao Ming today, the Chinese team would likely suffer an even bigger defeat than the last game, because the Clippers have Maggette and twin towers with outstanding strength, much more powerful than the Kings in the previous match.
He thinks that letting Yao Ming play with an injury today was a mistake. Without Yao Ming, they would have had one last excuse for losing, but with Yao Ming and still losing so badly, the Chinese team couldn't even find a last shred of dignity to cling to.
Think about today's game, a 21-point show and a 30-point show, can actually defend against Yao Ming so hard? Another one even froze Tracy McGrady, and had an excellent performance on the offense end. Tracy McGrady's performance in the first quarter can be described as being crushed!
"Are domestic players really that incompetent?" The reasonable teacher couldn't help but think to himself, and lost the mood to explain.
Sun Da Shi is a professional host, and at this time, he spoke first, saying: "I believe that all the fans are very concerned about the two Chinese players of the Clippers. Today, these two brothers performed extremely well. Especially the younger brother, Ji Guo's shooting was excellent, it reminded me of Rasheed Wallace."
Rational Master knows more about NBA players than Sun Master, upon hearing this, immediately took over the topic: "No no no, this is still far from it. Ji Guo's shooting is all catch-and-shoot, sometimes he can make an empty-handed cut to the basket, basically just these two moves. He doesn't have back-to-the-basket skills, low-post footwork, high-post breakthroughs, or even jump-step breakthrough ability. For now, we can only say that he is a good prospect and needs several seasons of tempering to become a star like Nu Hou Tian Zun."
In the second quarter, Clippers' substitutes vs China's substitutes, still have an absolute advantage.
The substitutes of the Clippers team, in the impression of the two brothers, most of them were cut off by the Clippers, and later many of them ran to the CBA and could get good data, becoming the core of the team, which can be seen that there is a big gap between the strength of the two sides.
Lao Deng Liwei was substituted in the second quarter at 6 minutes and 30 seconds, but Ma Ge didn't come on again because the team was already leading by 15 points with a score of 40-25.
Yao Ming was also sent onto the court at the same time. Yunas couldn't accept entering garbage time so early, and he still wanted to send Yao Ming to fight it out.
Taiyang Yi was also substituted in, Wang Zhiyu's mentality was fine, but his body couldn't keep up, and he was at a disadvantage when facing Ji Guoqin.
Maggette didn't play and the two brothers became the biggest players on the court again.
Ji Guo quickly got an open three-point opportunity and steadily shot the ball in, increasing his personal score to 12 points.
Taiyang was a bit stunned by him, making the pressure on his attacking end even smaller. This is what fans call being exploded.
Yao Ming returned to the court, continuing to fight for position and change direction with Ji Guodong. The latter's agile footsteps, excellent predictive ability and defensive awareness made Yao Ming feel like he was facing Garnett, Duncan or Rasheed Wallace.
This is natural, because Ji Guo has four pairs of eyes, front and back, left and right, any movement can clearly appear in his mind. If Ji Guo sits at the bottom of the court at this time, his field of vision will be even broader. To outsiders, it seems that he has a super strong defensive awareness and prediction, with unparalleled defensive talent.
Today, Ji Guo Xi's offense was impressive, but in the eyes of experts, Ji Guo Chou, who has not scored a single point so far, is the most noteworthy.
Yao Ming used half a quarter of time and finally increased his score to 15 points.
But the team's score has become 50:34, and the point difference has not narrowed, but instead widened by one more point.
Ji Guoqi finally opened up in the second half of the game, turning his personal stats into 2 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals.
Originally his two caps were as a non-playing touring squad member.
In the second quarter, Yao Ming's physical strength became a problem, his shooting hand was still injured on that shoulder side, which made this shot too forced and left a big gap, being touched by Ji Zhe's fingertips, allowing him to successfully block this little giant.
His this cap, is a defensive one at a time, not a cooperative defense, nor a detour.
Ji Guo's shame continued to explode in both offense and defense, his 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks made many domestic Yi fans lose face.
Taoyuan also opened a sheet, and before the end of the first half, they finally got two points and were not shaved bald in the first half.
But 2 points and 3 rebounds, no matter how you look at it, are a pitiful sight.
Domestic fans can't bear to see this data.
Especially that bloody three-pointer, 1 out of 6 shots made, really can't bear to watch!
Many fans turned off their TVs at halftime and couldn't bear to watch any more.
However, there are also many fans who have turned their attention to the Chinese twin brothers.
These two performed well and are Chinese. It's not unacceptable for them to be defeated by their own kind, at least it's better than being bullied by blacks.
