Chapter 627 Don't think I'm teasing you

The Clippers' starting lineup has not been adjusted much, including Chauncey Billups, Aaron Afflaro, Grant Hill, Ji Guomeng, and Ji Guoqiu. The outside defense of this lineup is not as good as Barnes when playing the third position, but against Bathir, Grant Hill, who is the Grizzlies, will not be at a disadvantage.

Old Dunleavy plans to use Barnes to deal with Ariza and Hill to deal with Bathir.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup: Mike Conley, OJ. Mayo, Sean Bathir, Blake Griffin, Mark Gasol. In fact, the Grizzlies' lineup is very good. The starting lineup is balanced, there are no obvious weaknesses, and there are points to score inside and outside. What they lack is experience and time training. Secondly, the Grizzlies' bench strength is not bad. Ariza, Brooks, Weaver, in addition to the lack of strength in the interior substitutes, the Grizzlies can squeeze out the Hornets at the last moment, but it is not entirely because of Chris Paul's injury, and their own strength is not bad.

However, most of the main players of the Grizzlies are recruits who are participating in the playoffs for the first time. When they stood on the glowing floor of Staples, facing the home team fans with big names on the sidelines, the young players were obviously unable to let go. After the game, they played timidly and disorganized in booing and cheering.

Veteran Battier kept encouraging his teammates in the locker room before the game and taught them their playoff experience, but when he really walked on the court, these players still felt their legs numb and their wrists were stiff.

However, the Clippers were in a very fast state. Ji Guomo, who was full of anger, first blocked Gasol's layup with a big hat at the beginning, and then broke into the inside and wanted to shoot but didn't dare, Conley, who wanted to pass but was unwilling to intercept. He launched a fast break and scored four points in a row. As soon as he came up, Staples fell into madness.

Master Heli smiled when he saw this: "It seems that our little fox is very dissatisfied with his loss of the MVP trophy. At the beginning of the game, he proved to the judges who did not vote for him that his defense is no worse than his brother."

Hollins began to hesitate to call a timeout, but now it will be called a timeout, which will probably hit the players even more. The game has only started less than a minute, and the timeout cannot be called so early. Hollins finally signaled loudly on the sidelines, focusing on Griffin.

However, the Clippers players are too experienced. It is easy to guess the Grizzlies' arrangement. Hill, who has little athletic ability, actually withdraws back to the inside in time. He successfully double-teamed Griffin, who was fighting at the basket with Ji Guomeng, causing the new No. 1 pick to go against the rules, giving Griffin and the Grizzlies a mistake.

The Clippers launched a fast attack again. Ji Guomeng still remembered his bold statement before the game. This was not casual nonsense.

At the pre-match press conference, it seemed that he was talking nonsense. But in fact, this game is indeed suitable for scoring points. The young Grizzlies faced two championships away. They were far inferior in both experience and skills, and they would defeat the opponent once the game starts. If he feels good, he can try to score a high score. Don't forget that he is the newly released scoring champion. In the game where the time, place, people and all in his hands, Ji Guomo has the ability to score 70 points.

Amid the deafening cheers/boos at Staples Stay, Griffin felt that he was slower than before. On the offensive end, it was even worse on the defensive end. Even the reaction seemed to be stuck by something, and it was also slower. His body and reaction slowed down. So the scoring king wearing No. 9 began to launch an unscrupulous attack, and scored 15 points on him in less than half a quarter.

"Are you the No. 1 pick?"

The Clippers fans took the lead, and soon the whole audience heard such mockery, which was considered a mental attack.

Faced with the ridicule of the visiting fans, Griffin felt even more like something was swelling in his mind or was blocked by something, and countless thoughts were piled up together. The feeling was too bad, just like he couldn't wake up in a nightmare.

Hollins had already called two timeouts in half a quarter, and there was no way to ask for a timeout for a short time. Griffin was completely beaten by Ji Guomo on the court. Hollins had no choice but to let the players go to double-team, but other Griffins were not much better than Griffin at this moment, especially when defending, facing the crazy shouts of nearly 20,000 fans of Staples, their minds were as chaotic as they could not grasp the right time for double-teaming, and they could not think about what they should do. Both ends of the offense and defense were standing there like wood.

Commentators from various countries and fans who watch the game for a long time can already see that the Grizzlies players no longer can play. Their movements on the court have no purpose at all. They always stand there and don’t know what to do. They don’t cooperate with each other at all. The offense and defense ends are in chaos. Even the experienced Bathir is affected by the condition of his teammates. At this moment, he can only care about himself and cannot do anything more.

The Memphis have already bombed the camp, and no one can save them at this time, at least this is the case in the first half...

Ji Guomeng played in the first quarter and he did not encounter any trouble on the offensive end. Griffin was like a clumsy white bear. He often made Griffin mess with a tentative step or fake move, and then he could easily break through with an acceleration and get a comfortable shooting space. Coupled with the cheers of all the fans, Ji Guomeng was in full shape today. He made 10 of 12 shots in a single quarter and made 5 of 5 three-pointers. He scored an astonishing 30 points in the first quarter, breaking the single-quarter score record of Sripp Floyd in 1987.

When the reporters on the sideline saw Ji Guomo who was like a god of war descending to earth, they all looked dumbfounded. Looking at Ji Guomo who scored three-pointers in the first quarter, the reporters were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

"This... it turns out that he is not talking nonsense, he is actually serious?"

The reporters' faces were wonderful. Who would have thought that Ji Guoxi's words before the game were not jokes? Under normal circumstances, anyone who said he wanted to score 70 points before the playoffs would be considered a joke. How could he be serious?

Look at Griffin again. This poor guy's face is a little dark now. Many Griffin fans can't help turning off the TV. They really can't bear to see their new core suffer such humiliation. Such a blow is likely to cause unhealthy damage to Griffin and the Griffin. Referring to the more unlucky Portland Trail Blazers, those guys are now completely out of shape when they see the twin brothers, and they don't want to do this too.

The first quarter score was 42:16. The Clippers seemed to have broken their single-quarter net win record in the playoffs again, and won the Grizzlies 26 points in the first quarter. After those four quarters, wouldn’t the Memphis lose 70 or 80 points?

The commentators from all countries didn't know what to say at this time. Everyone knew that the Clippers would definitely win the game today, and it was very likely to be a hearty victory, but no one expected them to be so happy. Even the Clippers fans were shouting: "Big brother, be gentle! Who would buy such a high net victory? We didn't expect that, we can't play like this!"

Ji Guomo did not think he was taking a heavy blow. He thought the two goals he missed was a pity, otherwise he would break Anthony's 33-point record in a single quarter. Although it was the regular season's single quarter score record, the value was far less than his 30-point score in a single quarter in the playoffs.

"30 points, this number is not insurance enough. If I have the chance, I must expand this record again, so as to avoid the record I created is broken again by others within a few years."

Ji Guomo is now so happy that he can't hide his complacent spirit at all, but he still wants to behave with a smile.

Ji Guoqiu despised him very much, and at the same time envied the scoring ability of the Dead Fox. Although they were twins, the athletic ability of the two was still different. His strength was strong, and Ji Guomo was faster, so one was more inward and the other was more inward and the other was more inward.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies performed slightly better in the substitute, but they were still at a disadvantage, relying on Brooks' breakthrough to score points. The Grizzlies should be glad that Black Beans feel good today, otherwise the score difference will continue to be widened under the Clippers' defense. They will be really tortured by blood, although it is almost the same now.

Old Dunleavy played the substitute for half a quarter in the second quarter, but he replaced Ji Guomo three minutes in advance to fulfill his idea of ​​winning points. At the same time, he also wanted to see what would be different when the whole team played around the Dead Foxes?

Ji Guoqiu will leave next season. Theoretically, the Clippers can match his offer, but Ballmer won't do that. The forced melon is not sweet, and everyone knows that such a thing cannot be forced. Besides, the two brothers do not owe the Clippers anything. On the contrary, they owe the two brothers a lot. The two of them only have three million dollars a year, but they helped the Clippers win two championships in a row. Now they are working hard to compete for the third championship. No matter whether they succeed in the end, Ballmer can't force them to do anything.

Old Dunlivi also knew that if Ji Guoqiu was leaving, no one would stop him, so the Clippers would be ready to be the only one Ji Guomo next season. It is foreseeable that the Clippers will be very busy this summer. They must find a suitable helper for the Fox brother, otherwise the Clippers may not have the strength to compete for the championship.

This is not that he looks down on Ji Guohuo, but that the superstars are now ready to join forces. Whether it is panda or fox, it is impossible for one to succeed alone.

The Clippers' substitute lineup in the second quarter: Dragic, Crawford, Barnes, Ji Guomeng, and Jordan Jr.
