Chapter 635: Split Tactics
The game is about to start, the players of the two teams play, and it can be seen from the footage that the mental outlook of the players of the two teams is completely different, on the one hand, they are extremely confident, and on the other hand, they are afraid of wolves and tigers.
The Lakers are worried too much about this game, these are all burdens, and playing with burdens on their backs, it's strange to win.
“GL”
Before Ji Guosha started the game, he said softly to Kobe, it sounded a little mocking, anyway, whatever this guy said, it made people feel that he was mocking.
Kobe Bryant feels like this, who would say that when he plays basketball, this is his fucking mockery!
The two teams in Los Angeles met again in the playoffs, and the Lakers came with a sense of revenge, having been beaten by the Clippers for two consecutive seasons. Davis has used strong offense to succeed, and the Lakers players look pretty good.
The Clippers' tactics are defensive, but the two backcourt stars on the opposite side can still score difficult goals with their individual ability if they are in good shape. However, the Clippers players were not nervous, and they slowly increased their defensive intensity and patiently ran around their panda brothers.
From the looks of the court, it was clear that the Clippers were playing more strategically, and they were constantly running and passing the ball every game. On the other hand, the Lakers are basically the performances of two backcourt stars, and they can shoot alone when they have the opportunity, but Kobe Bryant and Davis have a good hand, and the Lakers can lead the Clippers.
Ji Guoyi missed two shots in the opening game, and the chances were already created, but the Clippers had a week of rest, and the players didn't feel good. Although they are very abundant. You can run all over the field. But the feeling of the game was a bit stiff.
That's the downside of having too much rest. It's going to be slow in the game, so you have to adjust slowly.
In the first half of the first quarter, neither team called a timeout, and the game was interrupted until the official timeout.
The score was 4:12, and the Clippers only scored 4 points in the first half of the quarter, including two points at the free throw line, which shows how bad the Clippers players are. After the pause though. There is no frustration on the faces of the Clippers players, and no joy on the faces of the Lakers players. Everyone knows that the race hasn't really started yet, it's just a warm-up.
The game restarted, and Clippers fans held up signs with "LA" on them.
In this year's playoffs, the Clippers played the slogan "LA," meaning they represented Los Angeles and dominated the country.
The Lakers were trampled in the face by their sworn enemies, but they couldn't refute it, and Lakers fans could at best be ironic with a glorious history. But it can only provoke more ridicule.
Ballmer was standing right behind the Clippers' bench, wearing a Clippers cultural shirt. Just like ordinary fans, cheering and applauding every goal the Clippers scored. The new owner of the Clippers has been collectively recognized by Clippers players and fans, who, like Cuban, don't look like a boss at all, but more like a fan, and fans like it.
The Clippers' home court has Ballmer taking the lead, and even Beckham, Leonardo, Jim Carrey and other star fans are wearing the Clippers' cultural shirts to watch the game.
The starting lineup of the old Dunleavy today is: Billups, Afflalo, Barnes, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu, did not use Hill to strengthen the defense of the outside line, Barnes has the opportunity to wrap Kobe, this task Hill can't do.
After the timeout, Dunleavy Sr. still didn't bring on Hill, but Joel. Anthony, let Ji Guoqiu play the third position, Ji Guoqiu played the fourth position, Joel. Anthony plays as a center forward, a line-up that is a bit like the lineup of the Canadian team at the Olympics.
After the game resumed, the Clippers began to play in a 122 formation and deployed their best joint defense, with the two brothers sweeping all positions except the restricted area and the bottom corner, one left and one right.
In the face of such defense, the Lakers were caught off guard for a while, with consecutive mistakes and missed shots, the Clippers took the opportunity to fight back, Ji Guosha won two consecutive long-distance runs, and the Clippers used defensive counterattacks to avoid their stiff touch, and still used defense to control the game.
The Zen master called a timeout, but the Lakers had a hard time breaking down the Clippers' high-intensity defense, and it wasn't until the Clippers stopped themselves that the Lakers recovered to normal. However, in just a few minutes, the score has been caught up by the Clippers, and the Lakers have no power to fight back under the wave of Clippers' outbursts.
The Clippers' high-intensity defense will only last about three minutes, and it will generally be displayed when it is necessary to chase points and at the last moment of the game.
But to the frustration of the home fans, the Clippers players felt really bad today, after this wave of counterattacks, the last three minutes were scoreless, and the Lakers instead played a wave of 9:0, leading the Clippers by double digits again, and Odom covered 7 of them.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 15:26, and the Lakers led the Clippers by 11 points in the first quarter.
The Lakers were able to take the lead today, thanks to Odom's watch, but the Clippers still did not panic, they knew that as long as they found their touch, the 11-point gap was nothing, and this is the confidence that 74 wins and 34 consecutive wins have cultivated, and this confidence can allow them to still make the right choices when the wind is headwind, and they will not be defeated.
Crawford became the team's main offense at the beginning of the second quarter, and the elder Hill finally came on the court, and the Clippers bench did not have any slow heating problems, especially Crawford's microwave oven, and the Clippers began to launch a counterattack under the play of their own sixth man.
Odom was still in good shape in the second quarter, and he was in good shape in the second quarter. Anthony hit a head shot to help the team fend off the Clippers' offense.
The Lakers' overall performance today is very good, and the slow heat of the Clippers is not only related to their long rest, but also related to the Lakers' excellent defense.
Tyson. Chandler showed his value on the inside, and the boxing champion kept Ji Guoqiu, who had always been steady, from breaking out, and the twin brothers only scored 5 points in the first quarter.
The two teams were at a stalemate in the second quarter, but in the stalemate, the Lakers ignored that the Clippers had another big threat, Billups.
Billups staggered playing time with the two brothers today, and Dunleavy Sr. was now more and more cunning, and that arrangement really worked, and Mr. Key became the one to break the deadlock in the second quarter. Farmal's impulsiveness and feints were both exploited by Billups, and the Clippers' vice captain scored six straight points to narrow the score to three, and the Lakers seemed to be in trouble again.
The Clippers now have a captain and two vice captains, the captain is naturally Ji Guoqiu, and the team captains are Billups and Ji Guoyi, and it is conceivable that once Brother Panda leaves the Clippers next season, it must be Ji Guoyi to take over the captaincy, and no one can compete with him.
In the face of Crawford and Billups' counterattack, Bryant responded by forcing consecutive shots from 18 feet away. It's not that Peter Pan likes to shoot at this distance, but if you go a little deeper inside, you will enter the defensive range of the two brothers, and the shooting percentage will be lower.
But the 18-foot shooting percentage didn't seem to be that high, and when the Clippers tied the score, Kobe Bryant finally knew he couldn't play like that anymore.
Gasol finally got a chance in the second half of the second quarter, and the Lakers always couldn't figure out how they should play to be more efficient, and then they remembered that they had a Spaniard who could attack in the low post, as if Gasol was not on the court before.
In fact, Gasol faced the twin brothers on the inside, and the offensive efficiency was only average, but his role was not in how many points he scored, but in containing the defense of the two brothers, so that the two could not unscrupulously wrap the Lakers players on the outside.
The Clippers relied entirely on Billups and Crawford as the main point of attack in the first half, and the two brothers were tasked with defending with all their might, depleting the Lakers' interior body while retaining their own.
Gasol is old and his physical fitness is not very good, everyone knows this, but Chandler's physical fitness is not much better than Gasol, which is probably unknown to many people. No matter how you look at the boxing champion, it doesn't look like it's a bad physical condition, but it's true, Chandler is full of passion when he competes, but he doesn't like training, especially physical training, which is why his physical fitness has not improved.
In the first half, the Clippers relied on the play of Billups and Crawford, and only trailed the Lakers by three points.
In the third quarter, Ji Guosha finally broke out, his shooting hand was not good, but his breakthrough was still threatening. In the first half, he kept his energy, just waiting for the second half to find an opportunity to go crazy. After two minutes of play, he hit three breakaway throws, including a two-and-one.
Kobe Bryant continued to hit from a distance, the Lakers continued to firepower, and the two teams were still deadlocked.
Old Dunleavy also dismantled the two brothers in the second half, which made the Zen master very embarrassed. The Clippers' overall strength is too strong, and the low wages of the two brothers mean that their bench strength must be outstanding. If the two brothers are separated, the Clippers can form two lineups against the Lakers, and neither of them is inferior to the Lakers' main lineup.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers' rotation finally had a problem, and the fox brother led the Clippers main team to tie the score of the two teams and then went to rest. The opposite Lakers can't stop it, they can't put together two sets of lineups, and the Clippers are purely bullying people when they play like this.
Today's Panda brother's table for the whole game is very low-key, except for the strategy is defense, so far he has only scored 6 points, most of which are rebounds after grabbing the frontcourt, and he only took the initiative to shoot once, but now he has taken over the team's offensive banner, and has continuously attacked the Lakers' bench lineup in the low position, and has abused the dishes obscenely.
Ji Guoqiu's power is no worse than that of the dead fox, the Clippers played a small climax of 7:0 in two minutes, and the score was all handled by Ji Guoqiu alone, and the score became 69:62 in a blink of an eye. After three quarters, the Clippers easily overtook the score. (To be continued......)
