372. Even if you give me a ticket, you get mad!

Liu Xiu made two free throws, switching offense and defense, and the Clippers attacked.

Yalic advanced to the frontcourt to distribute the ball. Brand helped Maggette block Raheem on the wing. Maggette received the ball from the top of the arc. He accelerated one step and left Randolph, who was changing defense, behind him and went straight to the basket.

Down.

Kwame Brown made timely defense and also cut off the passing and receiving lines between Maggette and Kaman.

Maggette was fearless and took off against Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown also took off decisively. When the two collided in the air, time seemed to freeze for a moment. There was a gap in the air when the two faced off!

During the confrontation, Maggette threw the ball, and the ball hit the basket and fell into the frame!

"Corey Maggette, 25 years old, 198 cm, 102 kg, SF, ability evaluation 85, offense 92, defense 68, speed 91, strength 94, jumping 92... averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.1 per game.

Blocked 3 shots, committed 3.8 fouls..."

A ferocious beast with perfect physical condition!

The Trail Blazers pay special attention to this ferocious player, and they were upset once by this leader last season.

But the Blazers still couldn't stop Maggette's brutal style of play.

It's just that with this style of play, Liu Xiu felt that Maggette didn't want his knees, shoulders or waist.

As the stars of the two teams scored the first points for their respective teams, the game officially kicked off.

Emerging teams always have a lot of things that their opponents don't know, and this is the case with the Clippers.

Their performance is comparable to last season's Wizards, Bulls, Nuggets and other teams. They are full of talents, and the talents have begun to realize their talents. Under the leadership of coach Dunleavy, they have performed very well and played against strong teams.

The Clippers often give the opponent a 'surprise' and upset this kind of thing several times this season.

Tonight, the Clippers had another possibility of an upset on the offensive end!

Maggette, who has entered the prime period of his career, is playing smarter. He can't say much about his skills, but he will use wing screens to pick out the opponent's weaker defender to maximize his ability to attack the frame.

Brand is the true captain of the Clippers' offense. His accurate mid-range shot is Maggette's best response point. His close-range singles in front of the frame and behind the frame are very strong. The Clippers' offensive sequence is Maggette's main offense.

, others responded, Brand supported.

Kaman is honest and diligent on the offensive end. With a body size of 213 centimeters and 120 kilograms and a talent for mid-range shooting, he is a very good close-range threat. Bobby Simmons is amazing and the favorite for the Most Improved Award, 43.5

% three-point shooting rate and 44.6% long two-point shooting rate, both of them are excellent shooting points.

Jaric's height of 201 centimeters gives the former Yugoslavia combo guard excellent vision. With solid basic skills, he can accurately hit the ball at just the right time. This season, his average assists per game soared to 6.2; the high school student on the bench

Rookie Livingston is full of talent, ranking first in this year's rookie list with 5.2 assists per game. The rotation of the two point guards is a good way to connect the Clippers' entire team's offense.

On the defensive end, the Clippers also have a very complete plan tonight. As the season progresses, the Trail Blazers' adjustment to the Trail Blazers' style of play has gradually taken shape after Liu Xiu switched to shooting guard. The Clippers have sufficient defense against the Trail Blazers' style of play.

The core point of preparation is to make good use of their height advantage. Their height advantage is not only in the starting lineup, but also the backup point guard Livingston is more than two meters tall.

Mike Dunleavy, the coach, does not have the ability to build a team system. It is really blind to look for him to rebuild the team. It may be just for cheap, but his pre-game preparation and on-the-spot adaptability are indeed excellent.

The Clippers played well on the offensive end tonight and were well prepared on the defensive end. How will the Trail Blazers respond on the offensive end? Dunleavy is also fully prepared for changes, but!

The Trail Blazers' style of play was different from Dunleavy's idea from the beginning!

From the beginning of the game, Liu Xiu dug into the basket whenever he had the chance.

Liu Xiu is very good at cutting without the ball and attacking the basket under the condition of attacking the frame. His strong body is in the right position and he has enough space to jump up. He doesn't suffer from the inside confrontation.

However, the ability to completely break away from the outside defense and enter the basket when attacking with the ball is average. It is not bad, but there is a gap compared with the top players. When you fail to break away from the outside defense and enter the basket and encounter encirclement and suppression, the weakness of explosive power and explosive acceleration will be exposed.

After being trapped in a double attack, his distribution of the ball will be affected due to his height, but his advantage is that he has always done a good job in offensive selection.

Liu Xiu's ability to get rid of the defense on the outside tonight was just average, and it was difficult to completely get rid of the pursuit defense after the pick-and-roll.

but!

Liu Xiu rushed into the basket and even Kaman couldn't stop him! It was so brutal!

As a result, it was not the Trail Blazers' offense that was the first to respond, but the Clippers' defense. Dunleavy was forced to make defensive adjustments in response to Liu Xiu's attack.

First, Kaman was used to defend the pick-and-roll, Brand protected the frame, and the European step freed up space for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu made a beautiful pick-and-roll breakthrough, one-on-three, and faced Maggette, who was filling in inside, and hit a layup.

As much as Maggette gives his opponents a headache on the offensive end, he gives his own team a headache on the defensive end. With such physical fitness, he has one fewer block than Nash this season. Nash has a total of 4 blocks this season. Maggette has a total of 4 blocks this season.

3.

Dunleavy just wanted to give it a try, but found that cutting off Liu Xiu's pass and assisting in defense to prevent Liu Xiu from attacking the frame did not work. In the end, he had to let Kaman move in advance to cover the defense.

Once the game started like this, the Clippers couldn't hold on to Kwame Brown's cutback and Randolph's second offensive rebound.

The Clippers shot well tonight and were well prepared on the defensive end. They were supposed to let the Trail Blazers taste the impact of the newly emerging team, but they were dragged into an anxious positional battle by the Trail Blazers.

war.

Liu Xiu's pick-and-roll attack didn't actually score much, but he helped the Trail Blazers open another offensive channel, and the Clippers couldn't defend it!

At this stage of the game, this is what the Trail Blazers are good at.

The talent of the newly emerging team is very good. Just looking at talent, the Clippers' draft picks are much better than those of the Trail Blazers, but they also represent the experience of not winning!

In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed the Clippers by 1 point, 25-26. In the second quarter, the score was 28-24, and the Trail Blazers overtook by 3 points and entered the halftime break with a 53-50 lead.

In the third quarter, the two teams were tied at 23, leading 76-73 into the final quarter. When the game reached the middle of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers only led the Clippers by 1 point, 89-88, entering the official timeout.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Flying Squirrel and Randolph's shooting combination took on the responsibility of confronting Maggette and Brand. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Flying Squirrel received Liu Xiu's sudden score pass.

The ball hit a three-pointer, reducing the point difference to 104 to 100, and the lead came to 4 points.

Looking back, Yalic missed a three-point shot from the outside, and it was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack again. Randolph received the ball from the flying squirrel, and the winning mid-range shot... missed!

Dunleavy has already called a timeout on the sidelines. If he collects the defensive rebound, he still has a chance!

Randolph felt it was wrong after he took the shot. He wanted to shoot and steal, but was blocked by Brand. Livingston and Yalic on the back line were also very active in blocking, even the little flying squirrel was not spared. Kaman

Also stuck with McDyess.

But I didn't expect that Maggette, a small forward, couldn't block Liu Xiu... No! Maggette had no movement to block Liu Xiu! He jumped up to grab the board, but Liu Xiu knocked him away!

Liu Xiu, who was one step outside the top of the arc in the reasonable collision area, suddenly rose up and smashed the ball into the basket through Maggette!

Liu Xiu's "Rock Solid" and "Unstoppable" are triggered together when trying to tip in!

The timeout called by Dunleavy took effect, but 100 to 106, the score difference had reached 6 points! There were only 33 seconds left!

Originally, a timeout was called with a 4-point difference. If a three-point tactic was scored and a tactical foul was committed, it would be possible to tie the score and send it into overtime or even directly win the game.

Now the difference is 6 points and 33 seconds... The opposite Trail Blazers have replaced the short lineup of Little Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Jon Barry, Raheem, and Randolph. Randolph is the worst free throw shooter in this lineup.

, the free throw shooting percentage is 82%!

In the last 33 seconds, neither team scored. After Liu Xiu succeeded in the dunk, the Clippers completely lost their mentality and made a blind shot. Then the Trail Blazers wasted time and the Clippers did not foul or rush.

In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Clippers by 6 points and won their 20th victory of the season, improving their record to 20 wins and 8 losses!

Liu Xiu made 9 of 20 shots tonight, including 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 11 of 14 free throws. He scored 29 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

The Flying Squirrel's 17 points and Randolph's 21 points also played outstanding roles. Kwame Brown's performance of 7 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks steadily outperformed Kaman.

Among the core players, only Raheem and Payton are miserable. Payton is okay. He is a veteran. It is normal for high school students to show off their talents. Raheem is the real limitation of the Trail Blazers and the Clippers' defensive strategy.

The player who stayed only scored 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

…

The Trail Blazers won the first game of back-to-back away games, which means that this back-to-back has been successful. If they lose, they will make a lot of money if they win.

According to sources, after the game, the Clippers general manager and coach were scolded by owner Sterling.

The reason was that the two were worried that Liu Xiu would go crazy if they didn't give them tickets, but this time they gave them tickets, and Liu Xiu still went crazy and played even harder than before when they didn't give them tickets!

In fact, the Clippers played very well in this game, but what the media reported and what people wanted to see were the news about them as comedians.

The Trail Blazers have forgotten the Clippers. When they come to Los Angeles, they only care about one opponent - the Lakers!

Playing a team competing for the Western Conference playoffs in the second back-to-back away game is a stressful schedule for any team.

The good news is that the Lakers are also playing the second game of back-to-back games. When the Trail Blazers played the Clippers, the Lakers challenged the Suns away. Kobe played with an injury. Although he only made 7 of 23 shots, including 4 of 10 three-pointers.

He only scored 20 points on 2 of 3 free throws, but still had 12 rebounds and 12 assists. However, the Lakers still lost to the Suns 110-115, and their record dropped to 14 wins and 14 losses.

This means that the Lakers' back-to-back games alternate between away and home games. Although the Lakers are at home, it's hard to say who has the advantage compared to the Trail Blazers! Although the Trail Blazers are back-to-back away games, there is no need to move!

On the afternoon of the 29th, just as the Trail Blazers were recharging their energy to prepare for the game against the Lakers, a trade took place with the Trail Blazers!
