Chapter 4 True and False

  With 9:50 remaining in the first quarter, the Nuggets pushed the ball up the court and veteran Anthony Carter passed to J.R. Smith, who caught the ball beyond the three-point line and immediately released a shot.

  Ji Kou Zhuan turned around and screened Steven Hunter's defender to gain a favorable position for the rebound.

  "Bang!"

  This is JR Smith's third attempt at a game-tying three-pointer today! This guy has no conscience shooting in summer league, it looks like he's doing shooting drills rather than playing a game.

  Ji Guo Chou judged the good basketball landing point, jumped high, single-handedly plucked the backboard down, and then locked the ball tightly with both hands, pinching a pair of iron elbows together. Looking at that momentum, who dares to come up and grab the ball? Let him taste the power of another pair of iron elbows in Los Angeles first!

  Ji Guozhong also blocked Krezel in this backcourt rebound, allowing Ji Guozheng to grab his third rebound without interference. In just over two minutes, Ji Guozheng had already grabbed three rebounds. His excellent rebounding sense, combined with his outstanding jumping ability and extremely long arm span, made Ji Guozheng exceptionally good at controlling the rebound ball. He was a natural rebounding expert.

  The fast break team grabbed the rebound and started a counterattack.

  Ji Kou Chou reached a high position to respond, Quentin Ross received Ji Kou Chou's high pass and broke through, but his jump shot was not successful.

  Rebound...!

  Both teams' players stared at the basketball in the air, Hunt occupied a favorable position, judged the timing early and was about to jump up to grab his first rebound of the day. Unfortunately, he didn't see that Ji Guoqiu had already jumped up one step before him.

  Coach George Karl couldn't believe it on the sidelines, how could J.R. Smith jump so high? Unless he had the jumping ability of Dwight Howard, there was no way he could get to the ball!

  Lao Deng was also on the scene, frowning. Ji Guo's shot was too early, and he jumped up at the wrong time. Was it his first time on the field, and he was excited?

  Ji Guo Chou certainly doesn't have the jumping ability of a monster, with an 80cm vertical jump, he can't directly control the basketball, and he doesn't plan to hold the ball in his hands either, all he wants to do is just flick it out.

  His body reached the highest point, relying on a pair of ape arms, two fingers touched the basketball, Ji Guoqiu exerted force to flick it, and the basketball immediately changed its landing point, being flicked to the outside line...

  Everyone rushed to look at the new landing point of the basketball, 210cm tall, with a terrifying arm span of 228cm, Ji Guo Chi was under the basketball, and he saw him stretch out his long arm, easily catching the basketball, and then under Krezha's block, without any adjustment, directly shooting from mid-range, the ball fell into the net!

  This is the fifth foul of Ji Guo in this game, Krezja's block just now didn't even disturb his line of sight, the opponent's 203cm height was too short for him.

  George Karl furrowed his brow, China's twin towers were not as bad as the media said. Just look at that center's rebounding and defense, these two alone are beyond his draft position. And that power forward, off-ball movement is as agile as this year's No. 2 pick Durant, with a height of 210cm, doesn't look clumsy at all, excellent mobility, shooting is also very accurate, is this the rookie of the 30th pick?

  "Damn it, how did these two guys end up on the same team?" George Karl couldn't figure out why these two guys fell to such a late pick, and he didn't have much of a solution for the Ji brothers for the time being, so he could only observe them some more.

  Deng Lijun smiled and said that both Ji Guochi and Ji Guoxiu have their own strengths, but also weaknesses. However, when the two are on the court together, they can create a wonderful chemical reaction, perfectly complementing each other. This is also why the Clippers must choose both of them together. If they are well-trained, maybe after several seasons, they will be able to hold up the sky of the Clippers' interior line.

  At this time, Lao Deng Liwei couldn't have imagined that the captain would soon be mysteriously injured! He even more couldn't have imagined that the growth rate of the two brothers far exceeded his expectations.

  1st Quarter 6 minutes and 10 seconds remaining, score 15-9, Clippers leading by 6 points, both teams enter timeout.

  Brother Ji Guo has already scored 2 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. The poor 2 points were obtained from a supplementary shot after grabbing an offensive rebound in the front court. All his assists are for his younger brother Ji Guo Chi.

  His younger brother Di Guo's data is even more beautiful, his attacking ability is stronger, scoring 8 points and 1 rebound, shooting 4 for 3, three-pointers 2 for 2.

  Two men, one attacking and one defending, supported the advantage of the fast boat team on the field. They led three guys with only a ten-day short-term contract to gain an absolute advantage when facing the Nuggets' second lineup.

  The Nuggets didn't have any rookies this year, as they had traded away their draft picks last year in the deal that brought Iverson to Denver from Philadelphia. The Clippers then acquired those same picks from Philly and used them to select Al Thornton and Jared Jordan. Without any rookies, the Nuggets were focused on evaluating the status of their second unit.

  George Karl apparently thought of this too. Emotionally, are these two brothers still worth the draft picks they were selected with? What a waste!

  The second unit of the Nuggets shouldn't be this weak, they're losing because of their attitude, especially JR Smith, who's been playing terribly but still taking reckless shots, it's clear they don't care about winning or losing.

  Ji Guo Chou and Ji Guo Chi were both in good physical condition, having fought for half a round without showing much fatigue. After the temporary halt, Lao Deng Liwei continued to let them stay on the field, wanting to see if they had any other surprises to bring him?

  Kreza made a move as soon as he came on, turning his back and raising his hand to ask for the ball from his teammate.

  Ji Guo weighs 220 pounds, leaning towards agility and speed, but not good at strength. Krezha weighs 245 pounds, 25 pounds heavier than him. When the two confronted each other, Ji Guo immediately couldn't withstand the force and slowly retreated to the inside line.

  Kreza used his own strength to lean back and hit, buttocks lifted, Ji Guo Chi retreated one step, and only stopped when he reached the penalty area. The Lithuanian player was also wary of another guy, who looked exactly like the center forward, with a very fast defensive coordination speed, and if he squeezed in further, he might have to face being sandwiched by two people, which would increase his difficulty in scoring against one defender.

  "How annoying, those two guys look exactly the same, can't tell who's who at all?" Kreza thought to himself as he turned around for a shot. He didn't shoot directly, but first made a fake move towards the baseline, causing the opponent's defensive focus to shift, then quickly turned around and shot in the opposite direction, this ball was released, he felt like it should be in."

  "Slap!" A yellow giant hand appeared out of nowhere, shattering his good feeling. Just as the basketball was about to touch the backboard, this yellow giant hand slapped onto the ball, although both hit the backboard, but the concepts between them were completely different.

  In the "Pavilion" with only 60% of the seats filled, the fans finally got into the spirit of watching the game. Ji Guochu's defensive block and big hat made their adrenaline start pumping, and they couldn't help but cheer loudly for Ji Guochu's cap.

  Ji Guo Chou and Ji Guo Chi are telepathically connected, with Ji Guo Chou on the other side able to see what Ji Guo Chi sees. So when Krezha deceived Ji Guo Chi, Ji Guo Chou rushed over at an unimaginable speed to provide support, resulting in this wonderful nail-boarding big hat!

  Kreza's face turned pale, not a good color, his eyes were also burning with anger. This time the cap was like a slap in the face. He is also famous in Europe, and last season he came to the NBA smoothly, who has ever been humiliated like this?

  The two brothers are too lazy to care about him now that they're going on the offensive, who still cares whether he's angry or not?

  Shannon Brown nicknamed "The Dead Man", a guy who can barely shoot has such a nickname, it's also a weird thing. In the past two years, Brown played well for the Lakers, but this year when the Lakers wanted to make a big push, he was immediately swept out of the door, the coach obviously didn't think he was a puzzle piece for a championship team, and would rather use an old fish that's been exposed all day.

  Ji Guo Chou this time for Hei Pa Ke did a cover, will Juejin team's third substitute guard, Mike Wilks blocked solidly.

  Parker sped past extremely quickly, making a layup in three seconds before the opponent's defensive player could catch up.

  "Good, great defensive awareness."

  Lao Deng Liwei laughed more and more happily, in this game he didn't arrange overly detailed tactics, only simply emphasizing the key points of offense, such as whether to attack inside or outside, block or defend against counterattacks. The detailed tactics were left for the players themselves to adapt randomly, so that they could better test the players' all-around abilities. The two brothers today undoubtedly brought him surprise after surprise, exceeding his best expectations.

  Back on the defensive end, Krejci got the ball again and once more used his strength to push inside. If anyone on the Nuggets was taking it seriously today, it had to be this guy who just got posterized.

  "Huh? Why can't I squeeze through?"

  Kreuzer was puzzled, and he squeezed twice, but didn't squeeze the opponent? He didn't believe it, this time using all his might, finally managed to squeeze in a little bit, but with this kind of play, when would he be able to enter the shooting range? Backing into the ball had a time limit.

  He couldn't squeeze in, he didn't dare to force a turn and shoot, that way the opponent's height and arm span would be easy to defend against. Forced into a corner, he could only pass the ball out and give up his own attack.

  Kreza turned around and almost spat blood! The big 6 on the opponent's jersey caught his eye, no wonder he couldn't squeeze through, it was Ji Guoqiu defending against him?

  At this moment, two brothers had identical sly smiles on their faces, and another advantage of being twins was revealed.
