In the second quarter, the Knicks' offense not only did not stop the fire, but the offensive became more and more fierce. Nearly 20,000 fans in Madison Square Garden shouted loudly, and New York players became more and more brave.

The Clippers faced the powerful offensive firepower of the Knicks. With Ji Guoqiu's two-point inside stable score, they played the game completely at their own pace. The Knicks players feel good and have a strong offensive, just like they have nothing to do with them. You hit your fast, I play my stability, and see who can kill whom?

Ji Guomeng is not idle either. The giant pandas feel good in the inside today. They often fight against the Knicks alone and score a blue ball. Even if they don’t score a goal, they can cause fouls at the basket. Ji Guomeng doesn’t need help from the inside today. He has been waiting for opportunities on the outside. As long as there is an open move, his feel is not bad in this game. Although the score is not as coherent as Ji Guochu in the inside, he also threw two three-pointers in the first half.

In the last 30 seconds of the second quarter, the Clippers attacked. Ji Guomeng received a pass from Panda brother from the outside. Facing Gallinari's defense, he was so clever that he did not shoot the first time, but waited for a while. When Gallinari pounced over, Ji Guomeng shot the basketball against his opponent and deliberately rubbed Gallinari.

"Swish!" The basketball did not hit the iron because of the loss of shooting rhythm. Ji Guomeng's ball was still hollow, and the referee's whistle sounded along with the sound of the net.

"Haha, this referee is good. I haven't met a referee who is not targeting us for a long time." Ji Guomo was worried that the referee would not foul. However, today the referee did not make things difficult for them. The two brothers did not end the half-time game, and they have stood at the free throw line in total 12 times, and it is the 13th time.

Garlinari played badly against Ji Guomeng on the defensive end today, but his offensive performance was OK. He also hit two three-pointers in the first half, which is why D'Antoni has always put him on the court. But now it seems that although this most talented Italian player is very talented, he is placed around the world. Especially compared with the twin brothers, it is not the same level.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "In the past two years, Italy has produced many talented rookies, including other European countries. In the first rounds of these seasons, many European rookies have achieved good levels. However, even if you count the rookies in these three years, you can count them with just one hand - twin brothers, Kevin Durant, Derek Ross. In my eyes, these four people can become superstar players, and the potential of other rookies should not reach this level."

Ewing agrees with this view: "Since the league bans high school students from participating in the draft, it is easy to distinguish rookies with superstar potential. They can basically confirm their performance in the first season, at most the second season. If they still cannot play star-level data in the second season, it means that their potential is limited. The twin brothers have 20+9 and 15+12+5 in the first season, and the second season is 25+10 and 20+13+6 in the second season. Durant has 20+6+3 in the first season, 25+7+3 in the second season, and Delhi. Cross has 18+6 in the first season. The four of them do have superstar potential, which is undoubtedly."

Ji Guomeng hit the penalty and looked at the sidelines and found that there were many beautiful girls applauding him. The little fox immediately didn't know what his surname was. He just felt that New York fans were so good that they didn't even boo him. If it were the Jazz's home court, someone would have shouted that he would kill him.

"New York fans are so good. I want to buy the net team now and move to New York in the future."

"Idiot, as an opponent now, of course you think New York fans are good. But imagine, you play at home and fans go to applaud opponent stars, how do you feel?"

"You are stupid. New York fans applauding the enemy, which means they are dissatisfied with their team. If the Knicks were the champion team, would you see if New York fans would still do this?"

Both of these were actually stupid enough. They didn't notice that Iverson quickly attacked the Clippers' half after receiving the ball. After dodging Billups, Iverson's speed did not decrease, and he wiped Crawford's butterfly through the flower again...

Garcia was focused. At this time, she didn't care about defending others and hurried to make up for Iverson, but saw the answer throw the basketball gently - with a "bang", McGrady dunked into the basket with both hands!

The two stars who should have been outdated in the Knicks made a pleasing attack as the midfield approached. Although McGrady's aerial relay was not high this time and the dunk was just an ordinary two-handed dunk, New York fans still gave them the most fanatical cheers since the opening!

The score was 64:61. After the Knicks scored this goal, they caught the difference to only 3 points. After this attack, neither team scored another goal in the first half.

Dunleavy, a veteran, was interviewed during the break and told reporters, "What the Clippers have to do in the second half is to maintain their own pace, not be affected by the Knicks' rapid offense, and increase their shooting percentage and pressure on the defensive end."

In the second half, the Clippers replaced the starting lineup: Billups, Garcia, Barnes, Garcia, and Ji Guoqiu. They sent out their 32 joint defense that they were good at, trying to put pressure on the Knicks' outside.

The outside combination of Garcia and Barnes has stronger defensive ability and good offensive ability, but these two people have exhausted their potential. Avraro is temporarily a little different from these two people on the defensive end, but Old Dunleavy still chose to give him a certain playing time, hoping that he can grow quickly in the game.

Under the Clippers' joint defense, McGrady finally couldn't organize the team as comfortably as in the first half. The Knicks lost all the first three shots in the second half under the Clippers' sudden strengthening defense.

Unfortunately, the Clippers' shooting percentage was not good in the second half and failed to take the opportunity to open the score.

D'Antoni frowned on the sidelines. The Clippers' joint defense had a great impact on their offense. Taking advantage of the opponent's failure to take advantage of the unfavorable opportunity of his offense to open the score, Xiao Bei'er decisively called a timeout.

"Allen, next step is to strengthen the breakthrough. Others pay attention to interspers. Let's play the breaking and scoring tactics." D'Antoni's solution to the Clippers' joint defense is to break through. Using Iverson's breakthrough to create opportunities. To this end, he replaced Turiav again and asked Harrington to top and play center forward, so that the Clippers' inside line can be pulled out and Iverson's resistance to break through is smaller.

After the Knicks were suspended, Iverson broke through the penalty area and handed over the basketball to McGrady, who was on the outside.

"Bang"!

McGrady missed a three-pointer, Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound and passed it to Billups. The Clippers' quick counterattack.

Billups dribbled the ball and advanced rapidly. Ji Guomeng, Garcia and Barnes followed from both wings, and the Clippers made four quick attacks. Finally, Yuki Guomeng staged an air relay ended.

Once the Clippers' counterattack is fought, the speed is no slower than the Knicks, especially the two of them are faster than the average No. 3 position. If the Knicks cannot reduce the mistakes and increase the return speed, the Clippers' counterattack will be enough for them to drink a pot.

Van Gundy smiled and said: "The Clippers should have focused on defensive counterattacks. The Knicks' control mistakes ranked last in the league, and the speed of the follow-up visits was not as fast as their offensive speed. If the Clippers could convert the Knicks' mistakes and missed shots into counterattacks, the Knicks would not be so smooth in the first half."

The Clippers also realized this. The following game strengthened the pressing against the Knicks. The three outsiders often made some gambling steals. They knew that even if the ball was rashly intercepted and were overwritten, their two inside players could fill their positions.

Iverson's breakthrough in the second half was still able to penetrate the penalty area, but he was 33 years old after all, and it was impossible to get high scores in the penalty area guarded by the two brothers without absolute speed. Including Nate Robinson, the green-skinned frog also got a big hat from the Panda brother in the third quarter. The two brothers worked together to send five blocks in the third quarter. The Knicks were like a cavalry charge but encountered a trip Marso, and the people who fell in the Clippers' penalty area fell over.

In the first half, the Knicks suddenly failed to enter and could still score from outside long shots. However, in the second half, the Clippers set up a 32-joint formation, strangled the Knicks' outside shots, and the two brothers guarded the penalty area tightly. In this quarter, the Clippers scored 24:14 and led the Knicks by 13 points at the end of the third quarter.

D'Antoni knew that such a high-intensity defense as the Clippers would definitely not be able to last the entire game, but as long as they could persist for one quarter, there would be no way with the Knicks' strength. Their inside line cannot rely on inside stars to compete head-on with the Clippers like the Spurs, Cavaliers and other teams. Once they can't handle their opponents on the outside, they will have to be able to deal with this result by their opponents in the end.

This is how the Knicks were killed by the Clippers in the third quarter. The two brothers played the game in the third quarter and used their abnormal defensive range to block the penalty area. Although it was tiring to play like this, they successfully allowed the team to enter the last quarter with a score difference of 13 points.

The double-digit lead is very important. The Clippers entered the last quarter with a double-digit lead and have never lost since last year. This law has been called the "Clippers Law" by the media. Even Clippers players themselves are very superstitious about this law. As long as they lead the double-digit lead into the last quarter, their state will be better than normal in the last quarter. The opponent's team is like a negative buff. With one rising and the other falling, no opponent has successfully counterattacked the Clippers.

The Knicks wanted to be the first team to do it in a few years, but the Clippers' substitutes were very good. Jordan Jr. and Amir Johnson could actually have the upper hand against the Knicks' inside line. This is also very rare for the Clippers. Their substitute inside line is the existence of the league's counting from the back to the front, and the change of direction proves how bad the Knicks' inside line is.

When the two brothers returned to the court in the last 6 minutes and 05 seconds, the Knicks, who had already sent all the main players, only chased the score to 10 points. Faced with such a score difference, when the Knicks players found that the main players of the Clippers returned to the court, the morale of the players immediately dropped sharply. They knew that they could not catch up with the score when facing the substitutes, and there was no chance at all when facing the main players led by the twin brothers.

The final score was 119:107. The Knicks lost to the league leader unexpectedly at home. These two superstars who have reached the peak may make them enter the playoffs this year. But if the Knicks want to have the ability to compete for the championship, the team and the players can't wait. It's really hard to say whether they are lucky or bad in such a situation that they are not up or down.
