Chapter 284: The Three Masters Are Slightly Cute
In the third quarter, Brother Panda was caught by Gasol and beat him fatly, Ji Guoqiu was played like this by Duncan in the first round, even if the second round was misplaced to defend Boozer, he was not really blown up, although this is related to the fact that the anti-bone boy himself is not in state.
Ji Guoqiu can still score in the third quarter, but the efficiency is far inferior to Gasol on the opposite side, he scores two points, and Gasol can score at least 4 points over there, if the Clippers rely on him and Gasol to go head-to-head, they will obviously die a miserable death!
In the first half, the younger brother was blown up, and the elder brother scored; In the second half, it was reversed, the elder brother was blown up, and the younger brother started scoring again.
Ji Guoyi scored 7 points in the third quarter, such a table is much better than the first half, he found a way to deal with Radmanovic and Odom, the Zen master used Odom to defend the little fox in the first quarter, and Odom to defend in the second quarter, Barkley's defensive method was not adopted by the old Dunleavy, but the Zen master used it. The different defensive styles of these two made Ji Guozhi a little scrambling, but in the second half of the third quarter, Radmanovic was gradually unable to defend against Ji Guosha's offense, and the latter found a way to deal with the skiing man, after all, his level is higher than Radmanovic.
In addition to Ji Guosha, the Clippers team began to score, Billups has been blowing up the Lakers' two point guards from the beginning to the present, and the Clippers have not been thrown away by the Lakers until now, relying on the play of Mr. Key.
The score was 62:70, Billups made the last attack in the third quarter, broke through Fisher's defense and hit a throw, turning the difference into 8 points, and the Clippers still had hope of winning the reversal in the fourth quarter.
Ji Guoqiu 12 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyi 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, Billups 20 points and 3 assists, Artest 10 points and 4 rebounds. Mobley had 6 points and Percy had 2 points.
Bryant had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Gasol had 18 points and 6 rebounds, Odom had 10 points and 4 rebounds, and Bynum had 4 points and 4 rebounds. Famar had six points, Wharton five, Radmanovic four and Fisher four.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams continued to fight off the bench, and the Clippers' second-tier lineup: Blevin . Knight, Mobley, Garcia, Thomas, Paul. Davis.
Lakers second echelon: Farmar, Kobe, Wharton, Radmanovic, Bynum.
The elder Dunleavy didn't expect the Zen master not to let Kobe rest in the second half. Didn't this guy have back cramps again, could he play the whole second half?
Kobe Bryant did not rest in the second half, which caught the Clippers off guard, and today Peter Pan controlled his shots, and he only scored 20 points in the first three quarters with only 16 shots. Considering he only made one free throw, that's a high efficiency value.
In this game, Kobe Bryant found a good balance between individual offense and team cooperation, and the Zen master thought that Kobe Bryant took 20-25 shots a game and scored 25-35 points is the most reasonable state, and he should not still shoot more than 25 times with Gasol and Odom.
In the fourth quarter, Mobley hit a three-pointer as soon as he got on the court, a move that angered Bryant. In the final quarter, Kobe Bryant was infinitely close to Jordan, and the old cat's provocation made Kobe turn on scoring mode.
Bryant played against Mobley, and the Clippers' bench lineup was a little confused. They don't know how to defend Peter Pan, is it a bag or a single defense? In the middle of the struggle, the old cat has been lightly broken by Kobe, who used a pull-up jumper from the free throw line to match Mobley's previous three-pointer.
The Clippers have been in trouble since then, and their bench lineup has been under the Lakers' high-intensity defense, failing to score a point for nearly three minutes.
The Lakers would not have missed such an opportunity. Bynum scored back-to-back baskets, and the Sharks first singled Davis with their backs. After turning and breaking through, he scored two points with a dunk, and then actually hit a ball with a small hook in the restricted area and caused a foul. He scored 3 points with free throws, and scored 5 points in two attacks.
9 minutes and 50 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score was 65:77, Kobe Bryant and the little shark were powerful, and the Clippers instantly fell behind by 12 points, and the elder Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout.
Bynum's pig can actually score consecutive points, which is not just "bad" can be described as "bad", the old Dunleavy is set up to replace the twins to limit the baby sharks, Paul. Davis is too clumsy, and if even Bynum breaks out, then they are dead today, and they must control the Lakers' interior line.
In order to strengthen the defense of the interior line, the old Dunleavy was not ready to let Ji Guoyi continue to defend Kobe Bryant in the fourth quarter, let Posey go back to defend Peter Pan, and the Clippers re-played joint defense.
After the timeout, the Clippers lineup became: Billups, James Posey, Garcia, Ji Guoyi, and Ji Guoqiu.
Lakers lineup: Farmal, Kobe, Wharton, Odom, Bynum.
Phil. Jackson also had a whim at this time, planning to use Bynum to fight Ji Guoqiu in the low position, the gap between the two in strength is even greater, and Bynum may be used to continue to suppress this giant panda.
The result was less than two minutes before Phil. Jackson soon knew that he was thinking too much, and Bynum made two consecutive mistakes on the interior under the joint defense of the Clippers, allowing the Clippers to get fast break opportunities one after another, and narrowed the score gap to 8 points in a blink of an eye. The Zen master decisively understood at this time that not everyone could defeat Ji Guo's hatred, and if Bynum's pig could arch this giant panda, wouldn't Oku and Boozer be wrongfully killed?
At 8 minutes and 55 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score was 69:77, the Lakers called a timeout, and the Zen master changed Gasol to the No. 4 position, and Odom moved to the No. 3 position to replace Wharton, and the Lakers almost replaced the strongest lineup.
The elder Dunleavy also replaced Artest, and neither team gave the bench too many opportunities to play today, and they both knew the importance of this game, once the Clippers made the total score 3:1, the Lakers would follow in the footsteps of the Spurs.
After Gasol came on the court, the Lakers naturally wanted to continue to focus on the Spaniards, but Ji Guoqiu was not a small role that could be bullied, he was punched twice, and he always had to return the kick, Gasol's shot was almost blocked by the Panda Hero, Gasol's turn and shot were very biased, and the rebound was firmly in the hands of Ji Guoyi.
"Damn, this guy is still thinking about single-handedly beating you in the No. 4 position, next time you give him an elbow, see if he dares to be arrogant again." Ji Guoyi got the rebound and helped the giant panda come up with bad ideas, Gasol should be with him now, but he has to find Ji Guoqiu, do you think the giant panda is easy to bully?
Ji Guoqiu didn't bother to pay attention to him, the Clippers were on the offensive end, Posey and Artest cut the basket from both sides; Ji Guozhi looked for an opportunity to run out of the open position to shoot; Billups is at the top of the arc ready to take on Ji's feud; The Clippers' offense is very three-dimensional and varied.
As long as the Clippers use this dizzying offense, the Lakers players will firmly hold their positions and watch the players in their defensive areas, and they will never blindly follow the opponent blindly, because it is impossible to keep up with the Clippers' runs, and there will be holes everywhere at that time.
The Spurs' first-round defense was more relevant to the Lakers than the Jazz's, with Vicky almost finding a way to defend the Clippers in the first-round series, and the San Antonios limited the Clippers' offense with positional defense. It's a pity that there are too many old guys in their team, and they still can't defend themselves, and they are a little worse at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and they are only eliminated in the end.
There were no loopholes in the Lakers' defense this time, Ji Guoqiu did not find a suitable passing opportunity, when there were 12 seconds left in the offensive time, the Giant Panda immediately executed Plan B, passed the basketball back to Billups at the top of the arc, and the two continued to play blocking and dismantling cooperation, which was to attack!
Billups dribbled through Famar again, Ji Guoqiu blocked the opposing player for him well, and Bynum had to delay Billups. Bynum soon discovered that Billups was too fast for him to keep up, and in the blink of an eye, the opponent burst past him and dribbled inside.
Gasol made up again, and Billups wanted to play a two-and-one, but unfortunately the final shot was fanned out by Gasol and only got two free throws.
Billups hit both free throws, Staples Arena became more and more angry, Clippers fans cheered constantly, the score was 71:77, the Lakers seemed to have not scored for a long time, the Clippers relied on Billups' strong attack during this time, and took the opportunity to catch up with the score, and the two teams are now only 6 points apart.
Kobe Bryant controlled the basketball in his own hands this time, and at this time, everyone couldn't guess how he would organize the Lakers' offense, or simply dribble it to the front court and play a picturesque iron, which is not impossible. Even the Zen master is nervous now, Peter Pan has too much uncertainty, and the devil knows what he will choose in the end.
Posey defends Kobe, he has discussed with the twins before, defending Kobe Bryant's shot, not breaking through, so if Kobe Bryant passes him, the inside line must be filled in time.
Kobe Bryant looked at James as if he was on the verge of being a big enemy. Posey, with a little disdain in his heart, said that this guy was not much worse than Artest on the defensive end, but he couldn't look down on either of them, and the Clippers had no one to guard him at all. However, this ball Kobe Bryant doesn't plan to attack by himself, there is still a shadow in the last defeat of Peter Pan, since everyone says that as long as he shoots more and scores more, the team will not be able to win, then see if his teammates can be relied on, he is not without passing.
Gasol came out to play blocking and dismantling with Kobe, who broke through and transferred the basketball to Odom on the weak side in a large area, Kobe's vision of this ball was quite good, and the Clippers players thought that he would either attack by himself, even if the pass should be passed to Gasol, but Kobe Bryant threw the basketball to Odom, the three-man at the far end.
Odom didn't dare to shoot from the outside when he received the basketball, so he chose a more certain inside, so he continued to dribble and break through to the basket.
The Clippers' joint defensive formation didn't have time to turn around, they had been attracted to the other side by Kobe Bryant and Gasol, Ji Guoqiu turned around and wanted to make up for the defense, but seeing that the lama had already come in and was ready to jump and dunk, he could only give up this defense. He knows very well that this situation is tough, and the probability of being beaten into two plus one is the greatest.
The Lakers fans in front of the TV saw Ji Guoqiu take the initiative to get out of the way, and were about to cheer, but they heard a "bang", a loud bang that could be heard even when sitting in front of the TV!
Odom's ball actually landed on the basket, and the basketball was smashed beyond the three-point line with a loud bang, and it couldn't fall into Billups accurately.
Clippers fans were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and laughed at Odom's stupid slam dunk! (To be continued) R466
