Charles Barkley has long expressed his opinion on the topic of which Ji Guomeng or Durant is stronger. He said: "If Durant wants to surpass O, the only way is to kill him!" This big butt also said: "The reason why the Thunder cannot defeat the Clippers is because O is the only player who can defend Durant, and he is the only player who can suppress Durant in height, wingspan, speed and strength."

The Clippers' tactics today are very simple. Isn't your Thunder's inside awesome? Then let's move the little fox to the third position and let him face Durant who has always wanted to take revenge but has never succeeded every time. In this way, Ji Guomo has transformed himself into an outside line. No matter how powerful you are in the Thunder's inside, how can you take our outside line fox?

The performance of the two inside players on the defensive end is indeed unsaid. Both of them are first-class inside players. However, on the offensive end, these two people are even second-rate players. They have no low-post skills, and they don't have back-to-back steps, and they can't get out of the penalty area. Basically, the score in the inside is based on the follow-up dunk after covering the outside, and they also have an all-time relay.

It is said that Ibaka practiced hard in mid-range shots last summer and didn’t know if it was effective, but judging from his previous two games, he does not have much lethality for the time being.

Old Dunleavy said to the Clippers players in the home team's locker room: "After the game, we must resolutely play the inside. The Thunder's two inside chassis are not solid enough. We will not compete with them for speed and pace today. We will defeat them with strength at the low post!"

O'Neal was in a state of spirit when he heard this. Old Dunleavy said this. Isn't that the main focus of him? Who in the Clippers can be more powerful than him?

The Clippers have played two regular season games, and although they did not run around like they did in the preseason, this made the fat man feel relieved. However, this guy did not perform well in the first two games. He only scored 8 points in the first game, and still 8 points in the second game. This performance is not like his usual style of Shaq. Big Diesel Engine.

O'Neal is also a person who wants to save face. After all, he is also a strong contender for the No. 1 center in history. He really can't accept his performance in the first two games. In his mind, even if his playing time is only more than 20 minutes, he should have scored about 12 points and 6 rebounds. His current performance is much worse than what he expected.

The Clippers' strategy sounds good. But can you defeat the Thunder in this way?

Old Dunleavy naturally has a killer weapon. The Clippers have three keys to win today: first, Ji Guomo is going to have the upper hand in the confrontation with Durant as before; then, O'Neal must play at a low post to cause damage to the Thunder's inside; finally, the Clippers will force the Thunder to transfer the offensive core to Westbrook. As long as Westbrook finally kills Durant, the Clippers' victory will be sure.

When the players of the two teams appeared, Barkley looked at Ji Guomeng and Durant on the court and said with a smile: "The speed of O has dropped a bit this year. His weight has increased to 240 pounds, which allows him to have enough strength to push his opponent when breaking through. In the last game, I even saw him playing back-to-body singles at a low post. This is a scene that I rarely seen in the past, which shows that his strength has been greatly enhanced. So the slightest speed lost is negligible in my opinion."

Kenny Smith knew what he meant, and then said: "Now the difference between Durant and O is getting bigger and bigger. They entered the NBA in the same year. At that time, the two of them had similar technical styles and physical fitness. But since their second season, O's muscle growth rate was significantly faster than Durant. His arms were getting thicker every year, and his confrontation was getting better every year. In comparison, he is more like an inside line now. Durant has completely become an outside line."

Charles Barkley nodded, and he also saw that Ji Guomo was transforming, and the progress this summer was particularly obvious. The Fox Brother is more like the peak Sir, with an enhanced range version of the range. He has excellent inside confrontation ability and a range far beyond the three-point line. He can be said to be the benchmark for the new generation of the fourth-position superstar in the league.

The big butt compared the two, and said: "Durant's breakthrough power is now much worse than O. His strength is too weak. After the breakthrough, he cannot push the defender. Although he has the advantage of height and wingspan, he cannot go to the low post to play opponents who are smaller than him. We have seen more than once that Marion, Gerald, and Iguodala are very close to defend Durant. They like to use physical confrontation to disrupt Durant's game rhythm, which is very effective."

With the comments about the two commentators with extremely serious personal tendencies, the competition is about to begin.

The Clippers sent out: Billups, Ray Allen, Ji Guomeng, Joel Anthony, Shaq O'Neal's lineup.

Old Dunleavy greeted Iguodala today, hoping that he would play the sixth man.

The Thunder sent out: Westbrook, Seifrosa, Durant, Ibaka, Chandler.

This is normal for the Thunder, and it is also considered by the media to restrain the Clippers.

Coach Brooks, who led the team two years ago, was beaten by the Clippers for 61 points, but now he has not been swept out, can be said to be very lucky. However, after seeing the Clippers' lineup, this coach who has many shadows on the Clippers' heart immediately jumped, and he felt very bad.

At this moment, the substitute players began to leave the court, and the main players of the two teams were greeting each other and waiting for the game to begin.

Durant's eyes were only Ji Guomeng. Faced with this man he had never been able to defeat for three years, Durant's eyes became even hotter this year. Before the game started, he and Ji Guomeng slapped their high fives, not even a hug. Finally, he hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I will definitely defeat you completely today."

Ji Guomeng sighed softly when he heard this, and said in a helpless tone: "Why do you have to? If you can defeat me, you wouldn't have said such words to me every time you meet. Such lines are really nothing new."

Durant's trash talk skills are too low. He was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't speak.

Ji Guomo said that since you, a fool, don’t provoke Sa’s family, and don’t know where you learned Kobe’s faults?

The dead fox looked despised in his heart, and even more reluctant to say, "And do you know? You reminded me of the villains in the anime. The protagonists will kick them to heaven at the end of each episode. This is the set ending. However, they will still make useless resistance. And the next episode will appear intact and re-engage this impossible task."

"Bastard, wait and see!"

Durant was really furious now, but he really had no sharp words to use to fight back. In the end, he could only leave a half-dirty word and return to his own half with a full stomach of depression.

The competition is about to begin...

"Die fox, come on, kill him!"

Taylor Swift came to the scene today. She sat in the front row near the technical desk to cheer for her boyfriend.

Ji Guomo suddenly became excited and stepped forward and pushed the big shark down. He wanted to jump the ball by himself.

The referee of the NBA has been getting lower and lower in the past two years, which has caused many spring people to lose to guys like Duncan and Gasol who have no bounces. Although these people have severely deteriorated their jumping ability, they are good at grasping the rhythm, have a fast reaction rate in an instant, and are tall and long arms, so they can always beat the opponent in jumping.

In the game between the Thunder and the Spurs, Tyson Chandler lost to Duncan on the jump ball. Stonefo's jump ball winning rate reached 50% last season, basically winning by reaction and judgment.

Ji Guomeng didn't jump the ball many times, and he had less than 10 times in three years, but his winning rate was 100%, which means he had never lost on jump balls. Another giant panda, who was in New York, had a winning rate on jump balls, and reached a 95% winning rate, which was basically unprecedented.

When Chandler saw that Ji Guomo was in front of him, he couldn't help but feel upset.

Everyone knows that the giant panda is the number one jumping ball in the league now, and the only one who can defeat the giant panda is this little fox.

Ji Guomeng rarely jumps, but everyone knows how powerful he is in this field. When Clippers fans see their core walking into the middle circle, they immediately give Ji Guomeng a thunderous cheer.

On the big screen of Staples Stadium, last season's jump ball victory data was released. Ji Guoqiu won 78 times, Dalemport won 58 times, Howard won 51 times, Chandler won 46 times, Bynum won 44 times. Camby won 41 times, and Okafor won 40 times.

Chandler's winning rate on jumping ball is nearly twice as low as the Nets' Panda. Now he faces the more perverted Fox, he himself thinks he won't win.

The referee threw the basketball into the sky. I don't know if his hand slipped, but the direction of the basketball rising slightly turned towards Chandler.

Chandler should understand at this time that he should not give up as long as he has a first-line opportunity. If he is well prepared this time, this deviation will be enough for him to become a player who defeated Ji Guomeng on the jump ball for the first time. But he gave up first and reacted a little slower. When he understood, Ji Guomeng had already moved the basketball from his head to his side.

"Really!" Ji Guomo won and refused to give up. After landing, he directly released his sarcasm skills.

Of course Chandler heard it, but he decided to endure it. Last season in the Lakers, he knew the end of a verbal battle with this fox. Now even Garnett is unwilling to talk to the dead fox. Ji Guomeng, the bastard, is getting thicker and thicker. If the words he scolds him are too vicious, the dead fox will release Beverly, the mad dog, to bite people. The tragedy of this unlucky guy, Rashid Wallace, is still vivid in my mind.

At the beginning of the game, Ji Guomeng attacked Durant one-on-one according to the pre-game arrangement, and it would be best to defeat this guy who has been like a thin bamboo pole for three years.

The Thunder did not arrange for Sefrosa to replace Ji Guohuo. First, the height difference between the two is too far, and second, the Thunder. Allen is too flexible, and it is difficult for Durant to keep up with the latter's running position.

Durant is now 220 pounds, which is said to be the result of gaining weight in the summer.

When this guy first entered the league, he weighed only 206 pounds, was skinny and looked like he was congenital dysplasia. It was no surprise that he was not as strong as Curry when he thought of an NBA player with a height of 210m and weighed only 206 pounds.

Needless to say, Ji Guomeng is just a forceful one! In terms of speed and explosiveness, he and Durant are just as good as the opponent, but they weigh 20 pounds more than the opponent, and their strength is one level higher. Ji Guomeng almost crushed into the inside with James' breakthrough method.

Durant was forcibly pushed away by Ji Guowei, and Ibaka quickly rushed to assist in defense.

The two inside players, the Thunder, are best at assisting defense, which is extremely fast and blocks Ji Guomo's breakthrough route in time.

Ji Guoqiu, who was far away in New York, saw O'Neal use his strength to block Chandler behind him, and his position was already in the penalty area.

If there is no telepathy, Ji Guomother definitely does not have such a good vision. His attention is all focused on Durant and Ibaka. Faced with the double attack after assisting defense, he will definitely pass the basketball to the outside. This is very easy for Thunder players to cut it off.

But now he naturally won't do this again, just like Ji Guoqiu last year, pressed his wrist down and hit the basketball to O'Neal.

O'Neal received the basketball in the penalty area and took another step to the basket. He used his body to squeeze into the basket and easily made a layup to score the ball. During the entire process of this attack, Chandler was firmly blocked by O'Neal with his broad figure. Facing O'Neal, who weighed 320 pounds, his bounce, wingspan, and athletic ability were useless and he could not hold the defensive position at all.

"Awesome!"

"Well spread!"

Ji Guomeng and O'Neal cunted, and the big fat shark was very comfortable to play.

With his age and injuries, O'Neal lost his former power at low posts in the first two seasons. But he can still crush his opponents with strength at low posts, but his speed is not as fast as before, and he often has to squeeze in step by step. This gives the opponent time to double-team him, and the final result is that he is easily intercepted or made an offensive foul.

But if O'Neal squeezed into the penalty area first, if the basketball can be quickly passed to his hands at this time, the Sharks will still be an unsolvable existence.

Many fans should know that this fat man's hook shot in the penalty area is top-notch. In the past few years, in 2k games, his "close shooting" attribute was 99 for many years. In this regard, O'Neal is definitely a few streets ahead of Howard.

Ji Guomomoto looked at Durant's strength flaws from the outside, and continuously used breakthroughs to break through the inside at the beginning, attracting the Thunder's inside double-team, and then using the vision advantage brought to him by telepathy, passing the basketball to O'Neal who was about to be in place.

O'Neal finally played out his six or seven success skills at his peak today. The Clippers originally only hoped that he would play a high-level game of 20 minutes. O'Neal himself was also very satisfied with this positioning, but the premise was that during these 20 minutes, the team could try to feed him the ball so that his physical strength would not be consumed in vain.

The Clippers did this today. Ji Guomeng's performance seemed to be wearing the wrong jersey. His performance today was clearly the black-bellied giant panda.

Everyone knows that Ji Guomomoto has a certain passing ability, but he did not expect that his breakthrough and passes were of this level.

Ji Guomo has historical offensive ability. If you add the top support and pass the ball, it will be basically unsolvable. Such a Fox brother is a bug that makes everyone trouble, just like O'Neal at the peak.

In just three minutes, O'Neal scored 7 points in succession under Ji Guomeng's feeding ball, and also caused Chandler to make two fouls. If O'Neal had not been a fool of his free throw as usual, he would have only made 3 of 6 free throws, and now he has scored 10 points.

The Thunder quickly called a timeout. They got Chandler this summer, so naturally they did not dig Perkins from the Celtics at a high salary like another time and space. But let alone, facing O'Neal at the end of his career, Perkins is so powerful that he can withstand his center one-on-one.

Coach Brooks looked around his bench and found that no one in the inside could do better than Chandler, so he had to replace Collison with one, and at the same time ordered O'Neal to double-team the outside.

Since the Clippers have tactical deployment before the game, there will be a complete set of solutions for success or failure. At this time, Lei Allen came in handy. His large-scale unball run would become a sharp blade, disrupting the Thunder's defensive arrangement.

After the game started again, Sefrosa and Westbrook began to double-team O'Neal in the inside, but the Clippers' outside line leaked out again. Ray Allen made two consecutive three-pointers, and the entire Staples Arena was immediately boiling, and the tsunami-like cheers made the Clippers players' morale reach.

The score was 15:5. Less than five minutes into the game, the Thunder were beaten to half of their life by a combination of punches that the Clippers had prepared. Now the Clippers have opened up the situation on the outside, and the Thunder is clearly about to collapse.

The Thunder players were also stunned at this moment. They first picked the Spurs, then killed the Bulls. Their morale was strong and their self-confidence reached an unprecedented level. They were about to make a comeback and then overturn the Clippers, but they never expected that they would be blossomed inside and outside as soon as they came up. Could it be that the victory in the first two games was just an illusion?

Many commentators of Zhuge Liang immediately pretended to be expected, and said: The Thunder defeated the Spurs in the first game because the latter was too old, and it would be the same if they were other strong teams; the Thunder defeated the Bulls in the second game because the Chicago people were in an infighting period and their combat power could not be condensed, and it would be the same if they were other strong teams. Now, facing the Clippers, the Thunder immediately revealed their true shape.

Old Dunleavy secretly said he was lucky. The Clippers completed all the tactical deployment today, and he did not expect it to be so smooth in advance. But no matter what, the game was like this, and the Clippers would be much easier to play next. They had already mastered the first move, and it would be difficult for the Thunder to turn the tables.

The Clippers scored consecutive goals from the outside, and Billups made another three-pointer. Less than two minutes after the first timeout, coach Brooks had no choice but to request a timeout again.

This time, coach Brooks ordered the team to block the pass route to O'Neal. Collison used a front-line defense, but outside players could no longer double-team easily, and they should use "not losing positions" as the first goal.

As the saying goes, one step is wrong, coach Brooks' tactics are deployed, but after the game restarted, O'Neal began to turn to Ji Guohun to pull the space. The Thunder's tactics that were suspended this time were wasted.
Chapter completed!
