Western Conference - Los Angeles Clippers 0:1 Dallas Mavericks.

Eastern Conference Situation - New Jersey Nets 0:1 Chicago Bulls.

The NBA's two "cow" creatures defeated their opponents in the first round, and the home court advantage of the animal brothers was gone, and this time it was not only the fox brother who was hit on the head, but the panda brother did not escape the disaster.

The Bulls' strong outside firepower and excellent interior defense, as well as the Mavericks' strong interior firepower and excellent outside offensive group, these two Bulls have no shortcomings, the firepower is balanced and powerful, and the defense is equally good.

As a result, the Animal Brothers, even with their excellent performances, failed to help the team win, and they no longer had the upper hand in absolute strength as they did in the previous three consecutive championships, and now they have fallen into a situation where they play more with less.

In fact, before the start of these two games, the Bulls and Mavericks have already expressed their positions, each stating the team's defensive focus. Interestingly, the defensive focus of these two "cows" was on the twin brothers, with Kidd saying before the game: "How many points can Fox score?" It's hard to predict, and on this night, he could score 50 points on his own, while the rest of the players have nowhere to go. Or he gets 20+10+10 but the other players turn on the fire and we only have those two options. ”

In this game, Ji Guoyi scored 43 points alone and assisted 6 times, but none of the other players on the team scored more than 20 points, obviously as Kidd said - they have no way out!

On the other hand, three of the Mavericks scored more than 20 points, and Yao Ming scored 22 points and 10 rebounds. Nowitzki had 26 points and seven rebounds, Terry had 25 points, and the Mavericks' three scorers combined for 73 points. This overshadowed Ji Guosha's 43 points.

No matter how good Lu Bu is, he can't beat the three brothers Liu Bei.

It's the same with the Foxes, he can't single-handedly take on the three stars opposite, the loss of this game has nothing to do with him, this time it's really the other players of the Clippers who failed to help their boss.

On May 16, the Nets played the Bulls again at home. The Nets are only allowed to win, not lose!

"You've got to keep an eye on him on the pitch, no matter where he's around." This game will be played by Tony Thony who will take on the role of defensive section. Allen said with a serious expression, describing Kobe Bryant as one of the best players in the league. The latter did disgrace the Nets' defensive second-team in the last game.

The Nets' pandas were also a headache for the Bulls, with Noah saying before he died: "He's going to win with a triple-double, so I have to stop him from not being in the single digits in points, rebounds, or something." "Noah's words are a bit of a long-term morale and a means of destroying his own prestige. It also caused dissatisfaction among many Bulls fans. But considering his tragic experience of being ravaged by his animal brothers countless times, let's forgive him for his gaffes.

Speaking of which, Noah, the unlucky child, is indeed very pitiful, and he was attacked by the American media some time ago, because when he interacted with his fans on Twitter, he published the statement that the league's three active insiders are Animal Brothers and Yao Ming, which immediately caused dissatisfaction among many American fans, and Noah's Twitter now has many people leaving messages as "traitors" and "communists......

But then again. China's three interior lines do occupy the position of the NBA's current five interior lines, and the first two are undoubtedly occupied by the animal brothers. The two of them played the same level of personal data as the peak O'Neal and Duncan, and became the strongest interior players in the early 21st century, which made many American fans feel disgraced.

In today's game, the Bulls adopted the plan of using Kobe Bryant and Rose to take turns to play strongly, looking for the opponent's soft underbelly, and resolutely used their two outside superstars to force a breakthrough, forcing the Nets defense to recycle, and then passing the ball to the outside so that teammates could have a chance to shoot in an open space.

This tactic should work well, with Rose and Kobe Bryant breaking through in the middle of the game, and Boozer on the inside also attacking resolutely after winning the ball, which will put a lot of defensive pressure on the Nets' interior line.

However, the Nets' Pandas went crazy today, using their athleticism and height to dominate the restricted area, whether Rose or Kobe, or Boozer, anyway, one to die, two to die and a pair, the Panda sent 9 blocks all over the court, and he and Vallejo controlled the rebounds and defense in the box very well.

The Bulls' outside shooter also didn't find a good shot after Kobe Bryant and Rose broke through. George started today to great effect, Tony. Allen also interfered with Bryant's outside shot.

As a result, Peter Pan shot 5-of-20 from the field, only 1-of-5 from three-point range, and only scored 16 points and 8 assists, but had 8 turnovers; Rose's efficiency wasn't much better, scoring just 18 points and also diching out seven turnovers.

Today, the two stars of the Bulls were like lining up to deliver food to the basket, and the breakthrough was indeed smooth, but the last shot was either covered or deflected out of the basket.

The Nets were like a CS game today, they completely abandoned the front point defense and went all out to defend their back point, giving a thunderous blow to Kobe Bryant and Rose in the final part of the breakaway, and the change worked wonders.

The Bulls' two outside players scored less and made too many turnovers to be the main reason for the loss, but even then, they only lost by four points, only allowing the Nets to take advantage of their chances in the final minute of the game.

The final score was 82-78, a rare low score in this year's playoffs, and both teams focused on defense.

Ji Guoqiu's performance in the fourth quarter surprised everyone, and he was also the key to determining the outcome of the game.

In the crucial fourth quarter of the Nets, Ji Guoqiu scored 11 points alone, and the Nets only scored 18 points in this quarter, and he is already a veritable fourth quarter gentleman.

Today at the Continental Aviation Center Arena, the two teams played one of the most ugly fourth quarters of this year's playoffs, with both teams scoring just two points each in the first six minutes. But at the critical moment, Ji Guoqiu used two accurate key three-pointers to help the Nets win the first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the "Giant Panda" once again became the savior of the Nets.

In this game, Ji Guoqiu got 22 points, 28 rebounds, 4 assists and 9 blocks. An alternative quasi-triple-double, including 28 rebounds, also set a new career high for Ji Guoqiu, and the two teams missed too many shots today. This also became Ji Guoqiu's rebounding record.

After the game, Ji Guoqiu appeared on the cover of the American "Sports Illustrated" for the 10th time, 6 of these 10 times he and Ji Guoyi appeared on the cover at the same time, and only 4 times he was alone, 3 of which happened this season.

The media considered his performance on both ends of the floor to be impeccable, with nine blocks close to the Bulls' total blocks, and Kobe Bryant and Rose only scored 10 points in the restricted area today. But it took a full 19 shots, which shows the deterrent power of Brother Panda in the forbidden area. In contrast, Ji Guoqiu also broke his single-game rebounding record. The 28 rebounds were also the sum of the Bulls' two interior players.

The Nets, the league's "rebounding king", "block king", and "best defensive player", fully demonstrated what it means to dominate on the defensive end in this game. This season, when Ji Guoqiu won the best defensive player, Howard and James seemed to be "unconvinced", but this game. Brother Panda proved it with practical actions. His strength on the defensive end is fully worthy of DPOY.

The elder brother won one back with a dominant defense, and the next day, the Clippers will continue to play the Dallas Mavericks at home.

In this game, both teams were equally low in scoring.

After the loss in the first game, the Los Angeles media criticized the team's bench, and the Clippers' bench in the last round played a great role in the team's incredible comeback, but in the face of the Mavericks' second echelon led by Terry, the performance of the Clippers' bench seemed to have become mediocre.

Dunleavy Sr. said before the game. The problem is not unsolvable, although their substitute does not have a convulsive man like John Terry. But when it comes to the number of people who can play, the Clippers actually have more people available.

In this game, the Clippers' tactics are: winning first is not winning, and winning in the end is really winning.

In the first three quarters, the Clippers deliberately reserved physical strength to grind their opponents, turning the game into a confrontation of muscles and defense.

The Clippers do have a lot of people who can play, and although there are no particularly strong players on the bench, many people can go up to the top, and they just keep the main force to play the fourth quarter.

With Ji scoring only a pitiful 6 points in the first half, the Mavericks once extended their lead to 15 points on the road.

But with the sudden force in the second half of the third quarter in the tsunami-like MVP sound of the home fans, the Mavericks panicked and watched the Clippers use Ji Guoyi's unstoppable arrow to close the gap step by step, and then step by step in front of themselves.

The Foxes exploded in the fourth quarter, not only beating the little giants into six fouls, but also elbowing Nowitzki back into the locker room, and finally provoking Cuban on the sidelines, causing the Mavericks owner to be sent off the court by the referee.

After this battle, Brother Fox was really invincible, and he killed the three most important people up and down the Mavericks by himself.

Barkley couldn't help but bow to Ji Guo in the live broadcast, the lethality of this fox is really a bit off the charts, not only did he score 16 points in the final quarter, but also killed the two offensive cores of the Mavericks and the boss behind the scenes, Clippers owner Ballmer laughed on the sidelines and almost burst his blood vessels!

The final score was 86:80, Ji Guoyi scored 28 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 blocks, and his performance today was not inferior to the Giant Pandas in the east.

Ji Guoyi also said in an interview: "His strength in the second half comes from his own confidence, in the face of the powerful Mavericks, the Clippers even have a tendency to surrender in the first half, whether offensive or defensive, they were trampled by the Mavericks' iron hooves." However, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Clippers' offense gradually opened up, whether it was his own offense or the combination with Billups and Ray Allen, which left the Mavericks at a loss. This situation increased the confidence of the Clippers players, which in turn motivated the Clippers players to take the lead in one go, and when the Clippers led by six points in the final minute, the game was over. ”

The Clippers players slandered in their hearts, and the dead fox bragged over there, obviously the team's tactics, the Clippers were originally on the defensive in the first half, waiting for the Mavericks to blow up, then decline, and exhaustion, and then in the second half with their own strong instantaneous explosive ability and home court advantage to launch a counterattack.

The Clippers did not expect that they would be given a 15-point lead by the Mavericks in the first half, which made the second half of the counterattack plan exponentially more difficult, and the Dead Fox did play a decisive role in the counterattack, and he used his individual ability to help the team fill the 15-point hole.

But in the mouth of the dead fox, now it has become that they were beaten by the Mavericks in the first half, and in the second half, it was all up to him to turn the tide alone, and the team could turn the defeat into victory. This not only completely wiped out the credit of the rest of the team, but also threw all the pots to them, which is really hateful!

Ji Guoyan laughed secretly in his heart, the little singer has 5% of the shares of the Clippers, and the 5% is actually the shares given to him by Ballmer, so he is not exactly the identity of a player, but also a member of the team's management, who dares to offend him, pack up the burden and get out next season!
