Old Dunleavy also knew that it was not easy to let Ji Guo's shameful character sacrifice himself to become a global team, so he had to comfort this little guy and prevent him from blowing up.

Besides, Kobe Bryant is not something that everyone can defend, he doesn't need to be defended, as long as he can limit Kobe's points below his average points per game, then he can be regarded as a defensive giant. Battier's defense is good enough, and when he meets Kobe, he only scores 1 point less, and his shooting percentage drops by 1 percentage point, and he is often beaten 30+ or even 40+. Ji Guozhi can do this with an inside line, which is already very commendable, and the old Dunleavy praised the little fox at halftime, hoping that he will continue to go up to find abuse in the second half and continue to block the eye-catching.

Phil. Jackson is also distressed at the moment, as Ji Guoqiu said, defense is not a simple, mechanical 1-on-1 defense, basketball is a collective project of 5 people, and successful defense is to maximize the overall help of the team and reduce the damage of the opponent's offense to their own side. Indeed, Ji Guoshi's defense of Kobe Bryant has hardly changed from other defenses in terms of numbers, and he will even be won by Kobe Bryant 40+50+ at every turn.

Many neutral fans watched the first half of the game, feeling that Kobe Bryant always had how to shoot in front of Ji Guosha, and couldn't help shouting: How to defend it? It is no different from the effect of Yijian joint defense! However, they didn't know that with Ji Guosha's efforts, the Clippers' overall defense would not be torn apart by the Lakers' offense.

Who is the Clippers' defensive core? It's not Artest, it's not Posey, it's the twins on the inside. With the twins, the Clippers' defensive system is complete, and the height and interior deterrence of the two of them are far more useful than the so-called block count jù and highlights. But. Any team with a super interior is afraid of foul problems, whether it's Duncan or Garnett. Therefore, once the opposing outside defender can burst into the penalty area lightly, although the number of blocks of the two brothers will look better. But it hurts too much defensively for the team as a whole.

And the value of Ji Guosha is reflected here, the little fox can't prevent Kobe's jump shot, can't prevent Kobe's containment, and can't prevent Kobe's organization and control of the overall situation today, but he is always very calm "let go of the shot" (relatively speaking), so that he can successfully keep Kobe away from the penalty area. Stay away from Ji Guoqiu, this is the most critical place for the Clippers, he sacrificed himself to let Ji Guoqiu guard the restricted area, although the deterrent is not as good as the two together, but in the face of Kobe, someone has to sacrifice it, right?

Phil. Jackson probably understood these things better than Dunleavy Sr. did. Ji Guoshi misplaced to defend Kobe, so their player at the No. 4 position will have to face James. Percy or Artest, this should be a place to make a fuss. However, the Clippers' four-man defense greatly avoided this flaw. Brother Panda uses his footsteps to keep chasing the ball, once Kobe Bryant passes the basketball to the inside, whether it is Gasol or Odom or Bynum, he is basically more or less interfered with by Ji Guoqiu, this giant panda actually does more work on the defensive end. He has to help defend almost every Lakers interior player, pressing the Lakers offense with a wide range of defense, so that Lakers players can't shoot in the restricted area.

Let's take a look at the two inside linemen of their own team. The Zen master sighed, and couldn't help but feel yy in his heart, if the twins were selected by the Lakers, his fourth triple championship would basically be nine out of ten. Gasol is good, but if you exchange either of the twins, Phil. Jackson didn't hesitate. In addition to the strength of the twins. Also because of their potential, maybe the Lakers still have a chance to take out the Clippers this year. But wait until next year, the year after...... As time goes on, it will be more and more difficult for them to beat the Clippers. He couldn't imagine where the two little ones would grow in a few seasons.

In the second half, the Clippers lineup has been greatly adjusted, and the old Dunleavy has been replaced: Billups, Artest, Ji Guoyi, Amir. Johnson and Ji Guoqiu's three inside combinations.

The Zen master frowned, and the Clippers' three inside combinations were unheard of, which made him feel uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't figure out the true intentions of the Clippers.

Billups hit a three-pointer at the start of the second half, which seemed to signal that the Clippers' comeback was coming.

Kobe Bryant doesn't have the nickname "Mr. Key", but everyone is still very impressed with Peter Pan's ability to shoot key shots, especially when he is on time, such as now......

After a game and a half, Ji Guoyi found that one and a half distances away from Kobe Bryant is the most suitable distance, and if he gets closer, he can't let go of the breakthrough, and if he is farther away, he can't affect Kobe's shooting, although now this distance is a bit unable to prevent shooting and breakthrough, but the reverse can also be said: it can not only interfere with the shot, but also affect the breakthrough.

Kobe Bryant stood outside the three-point line, made a tentative step towards Ji Guoyi, and then regardless of the dead fox's reaction, he jumped back and threw his hand......

Ji Guoyan stretched out his arm and inserted a fierce face into Kobe's eyes, but his handsome appearance was really not fierce, at most he looked cunning, and with his young age, he felt a little cute.

"Huh!" The basketball smashes the frame and bounces into the net!

Ji Guoyi's trick of interfering in defense may have had some effect on Kobe Bryant two years earlier, but Battier has used this trick to defend Kobe Bryant for several years, and the current Peter Pan has long been immune to this move, and he still gets a high score against the rocket, and it is basically impossible for one person to prevent Kobe Bryant from doing it except for using two people to wrap it.

"See, no one can stop me!" Kobe Bryant provoked Ji Guosha after scoring a goal, the boss is really not trash talk, although the effect is almost the same.

"O'Neill can stop you!" Ji Guoyi was in a hurry, and came to such a sentence, which made Kobe Bryant stunned, and then the little fox added: "It seems that Ma Long can too." ”

Kobe Bryant was furious, Ji Guoshi's words were too lacking in morality, but Peter Pan was angry, but today he endured his anger and did not fall into singles mode, the fiasco in the last game seems to keep Kobe awake for a long time.

Gasol received the basketball on the inside, and Ji Guoqiu defended him, and the two fought one-on-one in the low post.

Clippers fans in Staples Arena immediately shouted: Spanish soft eggs...... Sissy...... Let's go back and eat......

Clippers fans have one attribute, that is, they like to help, and Gasol played this ball unusually hard under the abuse of the fans all over the court. With his back to play, he pushed Brother Panda into the inner line, and then used his inner footsteps to shake off the somewhat dizzy Ji Guoqiu, and easily scored two points on the board.

", this guy must be lucky!" Clippers fans were slapped in the face. Gasol's goal was blamed on luck.

Dunleavy Sr. soon realized that something was wrong, after Gasol scored a goal, he continued to use his teammates to cover and attack the ball in the low post on the inside, and the success rate was very high, scoring four points in less than two minutes. Just made Ji Guoqiu a foul and got two free throws.

Jeff. "Zen found a hole in the Clippers' defense where Gasol didn't play in the first three games, and that's because the twins were all on the inside, and if Gasol was singled in the low post like he just did," Van Gundy said. It's bound to be caught by the twins. In other words, the Clippers simply didn't give the Spaniard a chance to attack in the low post. But now it's different, the Foxes went to the perimeter to defend Kobe, who deliberately pulled him away from Gasol so that he didn't have a chance to contain Gasol. Brother Panda vs Gasol, if no one wraps them up and lets them go one-on-one, I don't think Brother Panda is Gasol's opponent for the time being. ”

Magic Johnson finally smiled: "Although the Clippers and I are hostile parties, we must also be realistic. I think that panda's faceframe defense can defend 99% of the NBA's interior, and I believe no one can break through his defense head-on except for Xiao Si's historic faceframe ability. Therefore, Gasol's good high post strategy does not have much use, but it is not the best low post back singles that can help him beat his opponents. ”

On the other side, Charles on the TNT live broadcast seat. Barkley said: "Kenny, if I were the head coach of the Clippers, what do you think I would do? ”

Kenny. Smith shook his head and said with a big butt smile, "It's easy. The Clippers except for the fox brother, James. Both Posey and Artest could defend Kobe. Even their replacement, Garcia, I don't think he's bad defensively. With so many available men on their side, why can't they defend Kobe Bryant with a different guy every quarter? ”

"Your idea is very interesting, are you saying that no one can stop Kobe Bryant anyway, but there are many people, if they take turns, Kobe may be confused himself?"

"You're too poorly sensitive, but part of the reason is that the Clippers defend Kobe Bryant with different people, which makes his offensive rhythm very uncomfortable. Just imagine, Kobe Bryant has just gotten used to the opponent's defensive style, and the Clippers immediately replaced, so naturally they changed to another defensive way to defend Kobe, and no matter how good the player is, he must have an adaptation process to this. This back and forth will definitely affect Kobe's feel in the end, and I think it's much better than using a person all the time. ”

Old Dunleavy would not have heard Barkley's words, or he would have thought about it again, as if he had discovered something......

8 minutes and 30 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 43:52, Gasol scored consecutive points on the inside, and the difference between the two teams was about to reach double digits, and Dunleavy Sr. hurriedly called a timeout.

"Not good...... Not so good...... It's not good......" Dunleavy Sr. thought back to the words of the last game, repeated by Magic Johnson, who has been dubbed "Crow's Beak" by Lakers fans.

Ji Guoqiu's single defense of Gasol in the low post is not effective, that is, if you don't let Gasol get the ball in the low post, the problem can be solved, and the old Dunleavy felt that he had thought of a way to deal with the Lakers, and ordered the team to strengthen the interception of the Lakers' outside to the inside pass during the timeout, and strangled the threat at the source.

The game restarted, and Billups scored two points on a driving layup.

But on the defensive end, the old Dunleavy's arrangement did not have any effect, the Lakers played a triangle offense, with the cooperation of Kobe, Odom, and Gasol, it was not easy to drive Gasol away from the low post, and it was even more impossible to cut off basketball in sports, and they didn't have so many people to deal with Kobe and Gasol at the same time. In addition, the Zen master had thought of a lot of countermeasures to prevent Gasol from being unable to receive the ball in the low post after the last game, and he was obviously more prepared today than the Clippers.

Gasol received the basketball at the left waist, Kobe Bryant responded this time outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, the old fish was at the top of the arc, and no one dared to go to the inside to help defend for a while, and Ji Guoqiu still had to defend Gasol alone.

"It's still a loss because of the lack of strength!" Ji Guoqiu secretly thought in his heart that Gasol could squeeze him close to the basket in the low post or waist position, and then use his solid feet to shake out the shooting gap, and he could easily score two points.

The score was 45:54, and under Gasol's repeated attacks, his personal score had become 12 points, and the Spaniard suddenly broke out without warning.

"Give me the ball." Ji Guoqiu also fell to the low post on the offensive end and asked Billups for the ball.

Billups knew their panda was angry and immediately passed the basketball to the low post.

Ji Guoqiu wants to receive the ball in the low post easier than Gasol, they have more points involved on the outside, and all five of them have mid-to-long-range projection ability. Johnson was also able to shoot from 15 feet in the open spot.

Gasol's defense in the low post is actually average, but the effect of the back single against the Shangji Guoqiu is good, his strength does not suffer, and the height and arm span are about the same, Gasol is actually very restrained at this stage.

"Toot!" The referee blew the whistle in his mouth and blew a walking foul on Ji Guoqiu, who continuously performed his back steps.

Clippers fans have been scolding, Emma. Roberts stood up and shouted "black whistle" before being picked up by Julia. Roberts slapped him on the head and pressed it back.

"Damn, I don't want to watch with Lakers fans! Also, this is the home court of the Clippers, why can't I cheer for the Clippers! Little Radish was suppressed by her aunt's obscenity, so she could only sit down unwillingly, and glanced at Christine, who was also scolding the referee opposite, and Little Radish felt that her aunt was really annoying at the moment.

Ji Guoqiu's face is ugly, today he and the little fox are not very happy, Kobe Bryant beat his brother in the first half, Gasol beat his brother in the second half, and the feelings of their brothers were all abused, can this tm still play?

Old Dunleavy also knows that it is really not good if it goes on like this, if you can't prevent it, there is only one way left to win, and that is to get more points than your opponent!

Ji Guoyi's subsequent offense finally ran out of the gap, cut into the basket and received Ji Guoqiu's pass, and scored two points with a close-range shot.

But less than 20 seconds after that goal, Bryant broke through on the offensive end and assisted Fisher, an old fish who had been ambushed on the outside, to hit a three-point shot.

With a score of 47:57, the difference between the two teams has become double digits. (To be continued) R655
