The Los Angeles Times reported ahead of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals: The Clippers are facing multiple challenges right now, the first being how they can improve their performance in the fourth quarter; The second point is how the Clippers can deal with the formidable trio of Yao Ming, Nowitzki and Terry; The last point is how the Clippers can get Ray. Allen played better, allowing Iguodala to shoot a little bit higher.

For the Clippers to get back on track with the Mavericks in this series, they'll have to play a little more efficiently, score a little more and defend much better than they used to. However, it is quite worrying that the Clippers will be able to do all of these things.

The duel between Ji Guoyi and Nowitzki is a major attraction of this series, the fox brother has always had the upper hand in individual scoring, but Nowitzki is not inferior in scoring efficiency, and the reason why the data is inferior to others is more because of too few shots.

Nowitzki averaged 16 shots per game in these four games, Yao Ming 15 times, Terry 14 times, the Mavericks' shots were very evenly distributed, they paid attention to collective combat, if they used German tanks to fight against the dead fox, this is the most unwise behavior, wheel warfare is the best way to deal with the dead fox, can he really fight three alone.

If the Clippers can't play better offense and defense than they did in the first four games, and if the Mavericks' three-point line is still hot, then the series will likely end early with the Mavericks winning, maybe not the Mavericks beating the Clippers 4-1, but the end result will definitely be the Clippers out.

The Mavericks are a bit stronger, but the Clippers are a team with pride and tenacity, so we should see the Clippers play very hard in Game 5. Thunder. Allen and Iguodala should be back on track in terms of mid-to-long-range shooting, and Ji will play better on the inside and outside.

The Clippers need a fast charge right now, and their fans will be there to cheer them on. We're predicting Game 5 for the Clippers.

The Los Angeles Times were optimistic that they would at least win this game, but Ji Guoyi's pre-match confidence was not so strong, and the two brothers lost one game after another in recent days, one 1:3 and one 2:3, all of which were won match points. One more kick will be completely finished.

"If I knew it was so miserable, I shouldn't have let him go to the Nets in the first place." Ji Guozhi raised his hands in favor of the giant panda leaving, and now he finally knows why those shameless guys have to form the Big Three, it is better to bully people than to be bullied.

The battle between the Clippers and the Mavericks on Tianwang Mountain was also played on the home court of the Clippers, and before the game, Ji Guoyi was worried about the team's prospects, "When you are 1:3 behind, you are always worried. Everybody's goal is to win four games and now they're obviously closer than us. ”

However, the Mavericks did not get carried away, Yao Ming said before the game: "For a team like the Clippers, we can't take it lightly at any time, because in the past three years, the Clippers have won three championships. The Clippers themselves need to win all of their final three games, including one on our home court, and they will certainly be more aggressive than before. "Little giant, this is naked trash talk. The aim is to put pressure on the Clippers players.

Nowitzki also said: "We're not going to let Fox play easily, we're going to make sure the team's defense is consistent. Today FOX is likely to become more aggressive than before. But we're going to stick with what we've done before, and we won't make him feel any comfort, but we won't overdo it. ”

Ji Guoyi is indeed very aggressive, although he is a little pessimistic, but he knows his responsibility as the core of the team and wants to win today's life-and-death game. He had to lead the way and use his offense to lead the team in the opening game, and at the same time send a signal to the Clippers players and fans that they can complete another comeback!

The Clippers fans in Staples Arena spared no effort to cheer for the home team today!

In the cheers of the home team's fans, Ji Guoyi hit two jumpers after the opening. Thunder. Allen then hit a 3-pointer from the bottom corner to give the Clippers a 9-3 lead.

Yao Ming entered the state at the beginning of the game with the same speed, hitting all four free throws, and Ji Guoyi hit two more pull-up jump shots, and the Clippers continued to maintain the lead.

Today, the Mavericks are on the defensive end, and they didn't try to use the bag to deal with Ji Guoyi, the fox brother's mid- and long-range shooting is not in their bag range, and Carlisle will not mess up because Ji Guosha shot a few balls, this fox got 40+ was originally in their plan.

But soon, Ji Guosha exceeded the scope of the Mavericks' plan, and when the fox brother hit the sixth shot again, before the first quarter was halfway through, Ji Guosha had scored 14 points on 6-of-6 shooting, and the Clippers had a 19-9 lead of 10 points.

Carlisle now knew that it was not good, so he could only call another timeout to adjust.

"This fox is so crazy, it's better to wrap it up first." Even if Carlisle doesn't want to wrap it, he wants to wrap it up now.

After the game restarted, Ji Guoyi saw that the Mavericks players began to wrap themselves, and he was about to change his role into an organizer, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, after all, now that he is in such a good state as 6 out of 6, how can he not shoot?

"Lao Tzu throws again, and if he misses, it's only 6 out of 7, and then pass the ball to his teammates." It's normal for him to think like this, 6 shots and 6 shots show that Ji Guosha's state is very good, as long as he doesn't lose it, of course he must continue to vote, otherwise he will be a real idiot!

Nowitzki's face is ugly, Ji Guosha has always been in charge of defense, the more dead fox scores, the more ugly his face becomes, although everyone knows that his defense is average, Nowitzki is also self-aware, but no matter how bad his defense is, it can't be considered a colander, right?

"You big colander, I kicked your ass, and your coach didn't even change the defense?" Before Ji Guosha's attack, he first put a trash talk, and after Novitzki's face turned black with anger, in the face of Marion's assisted defense, he still forced a shot under the double defense, a drifting big backward shot, the difficulty and viewing degree are five stars, only the reasonableness is one star.

"Huh!" Ji Guosha was still a little stumbling after landing, which showed the difficulty of this shot, but the basketball bumped back and forth on the basket twice, and still fell into the basket.

"Oh no, call a timeout, my hand is on fire!" Ji Guoyi grabbed his right hand, as if it was really on fire, and shouted at Little Jordan with his teeth grinning while shaking it, and the Maverick player was as disgusting as eating half a catty of flies for a while.

The Staples Arena was boiling, and after the tsunami-like cheers, the whole stadium resounded with a uniform "MVP" shout, and the home atmosphere reached its highest point for a while, and the temperature in the stadium seemed to have risen several degrees in an instant.

The Mavericks players were so angry by Ji Guosha, and they were called so by the home fans, and they didn't know if they were angry or noisy by the fans, in short, their heads were buzzing, and they felt a little cerebral congestion.

The state of the Clippers players was finally stimulated, Billups and Ray Allen each hit 3-pointers, Ji Guoyi scored a layup in the air, and the Clippers played another round of 8-0 offensive climax in two minutes, leading by 19 points at 38:19 in the first quarter, scoring exactly twice as many points as the opponent.

Carlisle called a total of three timeouts in the first quarter, but none of them cooled down Ji Guosha's state, and the fox brother scored 25 points on 9-of-10 shooting in this quarter, accounting for most of the team's scores.

In this case, the Mavericks know that it is difficult for them to get out of the way today, this fox is like a cheat, is this going to take 50+, or 60+?

Of course, Ji Guozhi didn't just want to get 50+, he scored 25 points in this section, if he didn't brush a 60+ in such a good state today, it would be really sorry for the world and his parents, it's useless to not die!

In the second quarter, Ji Guoyi continued his cheating feel and succeeded in three consecutive attacks. Fortunately, the Mavericks replaced Yao Ming in advance in the first quarter, the little giant turned around and hit a hook shot in the low post, and then hit two free throws, Terry also hit a three-pointer, and the Mavericks finally did not further narrow the score by Ji Guosha with the help of their two major attackers.

"Did you take the wrong aphrodisiac today?" At 8 minutes and 15 seconds in the second quarter, Yao Ming raised his hand to celebrate his second foul and said helplessly to Ji Guo.

Ji Guoyi's breakthrough just now made the little giant about to fall into foul trouble again, and he was beaten into two plus one at a time, in the face of Ji Guosha, who couldn't be prevented today, Yao Ming was already about to look up to the sky and sigh "The dead fox is a cheating dog".

"Is it a violation to take aphrodisiacs? I can't test my urine for a while, right? Ji Guoyi replied in front of Nowitzki, which immediately left Yao Ming and the Führer speechless.

Nowitzki hit a 3-pointer to stop the Mavericks from shaking.

Yao Ming and Terry's state is also very stable, the three attackers of the Mavericks were not defeated by Ji Guoyi, but today's fox is too sick, the Mavericks score one point, he has to score two points, 1 minute and 30 seconds before halftime, Ji Guoyi hit an ultra-long-distance three-point shot, and the Clippers led by 20 points at 65:45.

Terry then hit a 3-pointer from the bottom corner, and Nowitzki hit a turnaround jumper to push the Mavericks to 65-50.

Ji Guoyi hit another pull-up jump shot, and then broke through to make Yao Ming's third foul in the first half, hitting both free throws, and by the way, he knocked the little giant down in the last minute of the first half.

In the last attack of the first half, Ji Guoyi broke through the goal to assist Lei. Allen hit a three-pointer to give the Clippers a 20-point lead at 72:52.

After Ji Guoyi was interviewed by reporters and happily returned to the locker room, the first thing he did was to look at his personal data.

He scored 40 points in the first half on 14-of-19 shooting, including 5-of-7 three-pointers and 7-of-7 free throws.

"! If I continue to play like this, won't I break through 70 points? "Ji Guozhi saw the statistics, he was a little uneasy, he didn't seem to have gotten 70+ yet, did he? (To be continued.) )
