As the Clippers attacked, Ji Guoqiu began to move quickly at the free throw line and both wings, no longer standing still to cover the pass for his teammates, and his running became more active.

The two brothers ran cross-legged on the right wing. At the moment when the two intersected, even Yao Ming, who was both yellow, had a flash of eyes, and he felt like he was accidentally entering the maze array.

The Little Giant's ball quotient is extremely high, and it is easy to be dazzling when he sees people. He quickly looks at the jersey. When he sees No. 9 in front of him, he shouts in his heart that something is wrong - it's misplaced!

Ji Guomomiya smiled. His speed was faster than his brother. He threw away the clumsy Yao Ming in just a few steps and received a basketball jump shot...

"Bang!"

Ji Guo’s humiliation is extremely happy and sad, and he shoots anger!

"mine!"

Yao Ming's current position is very awkward, and he was unable to get up and down by the two of them. At this time, he was still outside the paint area and could not return to the basket to protect the rebound.

Ji Guoqiu competed with Scola for rebounds at the basket. The Argentine was not Ji Guoqiu's opponent. The falling basketball was held up by a pair of yellow big hands and sent back to the basket.

Scola landed in embarrassment, Ji Guochou made a tip-in and scored his 8th point.

Charles Barkley exaggeratedly after Ji Guochou made a tip-in: "Brother Panda is the new rebounding monster in the league, so you need to be careful to keep a guard!"

Kenny Smith is also very optimistic about the two brothers: "Although Brother Panda is relatively thin, he uses his athletic ability to make up for this shortcoming. The excellent bounce has a great effect on both offense and defense. He also has a pair of big hands, which is really a sharp tool to grab the board."

Charles Barkley said without thinking: "I have a feeling that he will get the rebounding champion in the next few seasons. He has a different talent for rebounding."

The next game in the second quarter was in a stalemate. Both teams had strong points that the opponent could not defend, and neither could break the stalemate, and the scores rose alternately.

McGrady recovered in the second quarter and made several pull-out jump shots near the free throw line. This is very important to the Rockets. If McGrady continues to squander their precious opportunities, it is a fantasy to win the game.

Ji Guoqiu also hit two mid-range distances 18 feet away from both wings. This distance is his maximum range, exceeding Yao Ming's defense range, and the little giants cannot defend so far. In terms of shooting range, Ji Guoqiu is about the same as Stoudemire, and the two shots within 15 feet are very stable. But if they extend to 18 feet, the stability of the shooting will be affected. Fortunately, he feels good today, making 2 of 4 shots at this distance.

In the last 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the first half, the Rockets called a timeout, mainly to restore the players' physical strength, especially Yao Ming. The little giant began to breathe on the court, which was a sign of his lack of physical strength.

"Aron, you go up and break through later. Their number one position is the weakness, use your speed."

Adelman was very dissatisfied with Alstom's performance today, so this guy only scored two points. The Clippers' No. 1 position was almost blown up every game this season, and it was their turn to gain an advantage. This is an unforgivable thing in Adelman's eyes.

If Adelman simply did not regard Yao Ming as his direct line, then he was so naked to McGrady and Alstom!

Since Adelman took over the Rockets, these two guys have always wanted to trade them, but Alexander is unwilling to let McGrady go, thinking that this is his money tree, so McGrady's confidant Alstom will naturally not be sent away.

When the old Dunleavy was suspended, he specifically praised Ji Guoqiu for his determination on the offensive end. In the past, the twin brothers were too cautious on the court, which was a bit too cautious in Old Dunleavy's eyes. Everything has a degree, and once it is over, it is not good. Sometimes when playing on the court, you have to take action when it is time to take action. Which star doesn't have many chances in a game?

"This game is a training for us. We can rotate faster. You must believe that you can do better. We must keep improving this season to enter the playoffs. We must try our best in any game!"

Dunleavy has focused on inspiring players' self-confidence this season. If you want to become a champion, you must first have a champion's heart and have confidence!

Confidence cannot be cultivated in one day. It requires continuous victory to accumulate, and it also has higher requirements for itself at all times. From the beginning of the game, the Clippers only seek the process but not the result. Now they have begun to pursue both the process and the result. They now have to strive for victory when facing strong teams.

It's a process, they go very fast.

The suspension ends, the two teams reappear.

Yao Ming played pick-and-roll with McGrady. Today, McGrady's score is really thankful to Yao Ming, because most of his opportunities were created after pick-and-roll. Without Yao Ming's high-quality pick-and-roll, McGrady would find it difficult to score under Percy's defense.

Ji Guochou chose to switch to McGrady this time, and the latter's touch has begun to get hot and he can no longer ignore it.

McGrady attracted the defense to distribute the basketball to Yao Ming. The little giant held the ball high from the wing and made a ball cover.

Brooks wanted to use Yao Ming to block Brevin, but the latter was not fooled, and Xiao Hei didn't even run out of the way.

Yao Ming did not get the ball, and found that he was at the middle distance on the flank and was misaligned to James Percy, who was more than 20 cm shorter than him.

"Damn, I might as well do it myself."

Yao saw that he had a clear advantage in position after changing positions and defending. He also had a certain shooting rate at the mid-range distance of about 15 feet. When he first entered the NBA, this was his conventional weapon and his main scoring method. He focused on low-level offense after gaining weight in the later stage. Now he has practiced less, and he is a little unfamiliar with shooting at this position, but after all, he has no hesitation and shoots immediately.

"Swish!"

Percy's height is too much different, and it did not have much impact on Yao Ming's shooting, and the basketball is hollowed into the frame!

Master Heli couldn't help but shouted excitedly in CCTV's live broadcast room: "It's not easy for Yao Ming to make 9 of 7 shots today!"

Master Sun nodded: "That's right!"

Yao Ming scored 18 points in this shot and performed very well.

The majority of Chinese fans said they were not surprised. Yao Ming often scored high points in the first half, and then only scored three or five points in the second half because he had no strength.

The score is 40:44, and the Rockets lead by 4 points.

The Clippers attacked, Brevin Knight and Ji Guoqiu played pick-and-roll, which was requested by Old Dunleavy. Yao Ming defended against pick-and-roll differences throughout the league. After the Clippers disassembled, Ji Guoqiu quickly moved to the right wing.

Yao Ming couldn't keep up, Bathir had to come to make up for defense, and Artest got an open shot.

Brevin Knight passed the ball behind the back, and the beast got the basketball and faced Yao Ming who changed defense. He made a decisive breakthrough and made a foul of Scola, who assisted defense in the inside.

Adelman was helpless about this. He could not let Yao Ming become quick out of thin air. However, if he could be given a power forward with excellent defense, such as the twins, and a player like the twins cooperated with Yao Ming, it would be able to solve the disadvantage of Yao Ming's poor defensive extension to the greatest extent.

Charles Barkley seemed to think of something at this moment and asked, "Are the twins American or Chinese now?"

Kenny Smith thought for a while and replied uncertainly: "It seems to be Chinese in Canada."

Charles Barkley laughed and said, "That's fine. I suggest that coach K and the bureaucrats try to get these two little guys to be American. If they join the Chinese team, our Superman will be in trouble."

In the last 55 seconds of the first half, Brooks dribbled outside the three-point line, and Yao Ming was in place inside and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Brooks glanced at it and suddenly raised his hand from the outside and made a cold shot widen the score gap to 5 points.

Master Reason was angry and criticized another unreliable point guard of the Rockets: "Brooks is coming to shoot again, it's not reasonable at all." As soon as he finished speaking, the basketball was hollowed into the frame!

Master Sun quickly glanced at his partner and saw that Teacher Heli's face turned green. Just when everyone thought he was about to get out of Taiwan, Master Heli suddenly shouted: "Good ball!" Although he didn't know how Master Heli cursed Brooks in his heart, he was definitely not the only one doing this at this moment. Adelman was also cursing Little Black Bean in his heart. Both Rockets point guards are the same. I don't know who they learned to shoot?

Fortunately, this ball was scored, otherwise Adelman would have planned to replace this rookie who was not sure of his position and press it to death on the bench.

Brooks' goal widened the score to five points, which was the difference at the end of the first half.

The score was 43:48, the Clippers fell five points behind and ended the first half.

Yao Ming of the Rockets had 18 points and 6 rebounds, McGrady had 10 points and 3 assists, Scola had 104 rebounds and Bathir had 6 points.

Ji Guoqiu of the Clippers scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomeng scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, Artest scored 8 points, Percy scored 8 points, and Mobri scored 5 points.
