The Clippers' starting lineup has not changed, with point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Caron Butler, power forward Blake Griffin, and center DeAndre Jordan.
This time between Yao Ming and DeAndre Jordan, Yao Ming got the ball and it went to Yang Zhenxing. In this game, Phil Jackson made Yang Zhenxing the starting point guard, but no one knew the reason for his change. Maybe he wanted to change the lineup more.
, used to deal with many unexpected situations, such as when falling behind or when the two sides are in a stalemate, there is one more way to deal with it.
Yang Zhenxing came up and played a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming. This is their usual style of play. It has been demonstrated in the Asian Championships. Yao Ming came up to block Paul. Yang Zhenxing broke through inside. This time, Yang Zhenxing did not choose to pass the ball, but went straight for a layup.
, Griffin's defense was in place, Yang Zhenxing made a strong layup directly against Griffin
Griffin is tall and has long arms, and he can jump high. When Griffin stretched out his arm, he almost touched Yang Zhenxing and got the ball. "Oops! What if I pounce on you?" Iverson was a little excited off the court. He knew Yang Zhenxing's ball.
It’s already hard to wear the ball out
Yang Zhenxing was calm in the face of danger. He deliberately increased the arc and threw it high, bang! Brush! With two crisp sounds, Yang Zhenxing hit the basket with a rebound shot.
The audience was relieved and Iverson was even more excited. The difficulty of this ball was no less than his difficult layup.
Looking back, it was the Clippers' turn to attack. This time, Paul faced Yang Zhenxing from the beginning. This was the first time they faced off against the starting point guard.
Paul signaled everyone to move away. It seemed that he was going to single out Yang Zhenxing. Griffin came up for a pick-and-roll. Paul refused to dribble from outside the three-point line. Yang Zhenxing stayed close to him and glared at him coldly.
"Look, I'm going to play you alone." Paul sneered and moved the ball from the left to the right.
"Haha, come on" Yang Zhenxing responded
Paul once again changed the ball to the left, Yang Zhenxing followed Paul, and then Paul quickly retreated, his hand had been switched to his right hand, and he accelerated again in an instant. This time, Yang Zhenxing did not react and sighed secretly: "
So quick”

"Humph, it's not that easy to get rid of me," Yang Zhenxing responded.
Paul had no time to speak. He had already reached the basket. Yao Ming was 40 centimeters taller than Paul. It was not easy for Paul to score in front of Yao Ming. At this time, even if he wanted to step back, it was impossible because Yang Zhenxing
Still following him, Paul is now being attacked from both sides.

Too often for them
Bang! Paul threw the ball on top of the basket, and Griffin jumped high and slammed the ball into the basket 2:2. The first two attacks seemed to last a long time, and then both sides accelerated the pace.

After the timeout, both sides made substitutions and put on what they thought was the strongest lineup.
The Tigers' lineup of Allen Iverson, Yang Zhenxing, Tracy McGrady, Carter, and Yao Ming is a little surprising, especially when power forward Carter and Griffin face off. However, if Carter opens the singles,
After all, Griffin is a power forward, and he can't bear it. Moreover, Yao is watching inside, and Jordan has no offensive ability. Such a lineup with one big and four small still makes sense. The Clippers still sent out their usual lineup of point guard Paul.
