Chapter 468: Jordan's Embarrassment

Returning to this game, the Lakers began to play their two star guards in the second half of the first quarter, Phil. Jackson stole the Clippers this time, arranging a positional cover for their two star guards on both sides at the same time. Davis and Kobe Bryant will immediately attack with the ball as soon as someone forms a misplaced defensive situation with a small big fight.

The Clippers were not prepared for such tactics of the Lakers, 3 minutes and 30 seconds in the first quarter, the elder Dunleavy was forced to be helpless, and called a timeout again, the score was 14:22, and the Lakers relied on Kobe Bryant's continuous misplacement to score 6 points in a row, and the Lakers also led them by 8 points.

ESPN's Jeff. Van Gundy said: "I think Kobe Bryant also has a chance to compete for the MVP trophy this season, think about how they started at the beginning of the season, how strong the Lakers are now, Kobe's sacrifice has created the Lakers' current favorable situation, and Kobe's average of 24+6+6 per game jù is also the most reasonable and versatile season in his career."

Mark. Jackson has a different view, he thinks Chris. Paul deserves the MVP: "Yes, Kobe Bryant did a great job, but it has to do with the fact that he has great teammates. Paulo's table this season is even better. Although the Hornets have not as good a record as the Lakers. But consider that New Orleans is a small city that doesn't pay the luxury tax. The Hornets are paid millions of dollars. could trade their interior defensive gate, but Paul relied on his brilliant performance to bring the Hornets to the playoffs for the second year in a row, and with his personal count, I think he deserves the MVP. ”

Just when a few guys from ESPN were arguing about who should win the MVP, Ji Guoyi suddenly broke out on the court, and the little fox hit two three-pointers in a row on the offensive end, reminding everyone of their sense of survival. Why can't the two of them compete for MVP, the Clippers are now the first in the league. And it's very likely that they will get a record that is not inferior to the Dallas Mavericks in the 06-07 season, and if these guys are not racist, then they are really dogs.

In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Clippers narrowed the score gap to 25:29 with Ji Guoyi's singles, and the Clippers trailed by 4 points in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Ji Guoqiu got 5 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Ji Guoqiu got 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups had 2 points and 1 assist, and Crawford scored 4 points.

Bryant had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and Gasol had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Byron. Davis had four points and two assists, and Odom had three points and one rebound. Chandler had 4 points and 3 rebounds.

Ji Guoyi came out of the field, and the first thing he did was to take the number jù table to check his table, there is no need to look at the positive and negative values, they are 4 points behind, he and the giant panda played the first quarter, and the plus or minus must be -4, and Kobe, who also played the first quarter on the other side, is +4.

The calculation method of positive and negative values is very simple, when the player is on the field, the difference between the team's score and loss is the calculation formula, for example, if you play well on the field, others are sleepwalking, and the team is 10 points behind, then you are -10. Conversely, you play poorly, but everyone else plays really well and the team leads by 10 points, then you are +10.

This number is used by many fans as a black star, and it is not uncommon to see a team with a team with a very low plus/minus, close to zero or simply negative, while some role players have a fairly high plus/minus. There are also many stars who work hard to chase points when they are on the field, and when they are almost flat, they are replaced by the coach, and when the pit is dug up again after the game, they will be replaced again, which will cause the integer value to be extremely high.

Fans are usually just staring at the results, and they may not even look at the process, but the coach needs to find problems in this number. For example, the number of games that a role player puts in the main team, the plus/minus value is generally higher than that of other role players, and even the original starter, and when he starts, the plus/minus value of other main players will increase, then it means that this role player has a value-added effect on other main players as a starter, and the coach should consider whether to adjust such players to the main lineup.

The reason why Afflalo started was because his defensive ability was more suitable for playing with the two brothers, and when he was the starter, the team's plus/minus was higher than that of Crawford and the two brothers, so starting with Afflalo was not a decision made by Dunleavy Sr. just looking at the development potential. Of course, Crawford was off the bench, and his plus/minus was higher than the rest of the Clippers' backcourt players, so Dunleavy Sr. let him play the sixth man.

Another interesting example is that Kobe cheated three free throws in the middle of the first quarter, when the elder Dunleavy happened to replace Crawford to replace Afflalo, and as a result, the unlucky guy came up, and the plus/minus was -3, but Afflalo was +1, so this number jù is very bad in many cases.

In the second quarter of the bench battle, the Clippers sent: Dragic, Crawford, Afflalo, Barnes, Jordan Jr.

Lakers send: Sun Yue, Shannon. Brown, Josh. Powell, Odom, Chandler.

The two brothers were on the court, they had not played against Sun Yue in the NBA, they had several contacts this season, and Sun Yue now lives in the same apartment where the brothers used to live, and the two of them have bought it and rented it to the Chinese compatriot at half price.

Ji Guoyi also gave Sun Yue an auspicious figure, $6,666 per month, which is indeed twice as low as their original rent of $12,000. However, Sun Yue is still very painful, his salary is only more than 500,000 yuan a year, and he is the lowest-paid player in the Lakers. However, it is still very worthwhile to rent a luxury apartment in such a prime location at such a cheap price.

Sun Yue didn't play much in the Lakers this season, playing point guard with a height of more than 2 meters, the NBA has produced a Magic and penny Hardaway for so many years, and talents such as Maddie and James are only cameos, and Maddy can only be regarded as half a point guard in the Knicks now. It's more about Iverson in possession.

Sun Yue's flaws are poor in his dribbling ability and outside projection. Poor ability to fight. In a game at this level in the NBA, if the passing and control skills are not up to par and the confrontation ability is poor, it means that the opponent will definitely be trapped, and the result is that there are too many mistakes and no chance to play. Jeremy Lin also has this problem in the future, too many mistakes mean that his ball handling skills are not very good, when did you see Nash and Paul lose the ball as soon as they are trapped? Nash circled left and right three times in the crowd, and he could wipe some saliva with one hand to take care of his hairstyle. Ji Guozhi plays a match with Nash every time. They all strongly ask this guy not to wipe saliva on the basketball, people with cleanliness can't afford to hurt it!

The two brothers only watched for a while and found that Sun Yue and the Olympics had almost no progress, and the two shook their heads together, which is a very incredible thing, Sun Yue is not very old, it is impossible for a season without improvement, there is only one possibility of this situation, that is, he did not train hard enough.

If you don't have talent and don't work hard, then it's really damned. Look at Yao Ming, the little giant is definitely a Chinese who works harder than their two brothers. So how could people not succeed? If the athlete doesn't want to bleed and sweat, then don't eat this dinner, he will definitely not be able to play. Although Maddie is lazy now, she has only had this year's status after hard work before she became famous, and she has old books to eat.

Sun Yue played less than two minutes before being replaced, and the Zen master originally wanted to use his height to defend the Clippers, but Sun Yue made a mistake on the offensive end and a hit iron made Phil. Jackson was extremely dissatisfied, their lead by four points was caught up by the Clippers in these two minutes, and Sun Yue's understanding of tactics was not good, even the Zen master could see that this guy must not have studied the Lakers' tactical manual well, which is a point that all coaches must not forgive.

The Clippers' Dragic is getting better and better on the bench schedule, which is a diametrically opposed example to Sun Yue, Billups is willing to promote his own bench, anyway, within two or three seasons, Dragic is not a threat to him. After a few years, when Dragic grows up, he is also old and can naturally give way to the younger.

Crawford's recent desire to attack has been as strong as Ji's, and now he is in the sprint for the best sixth man, and although he is the first two candidates, if he wants to be more secure, he will beat his fierce rival Jason. Terry, there's nothing more useful than improving his numbers, so everyone tries to get Crawford to score as much as they can off the bench.

In just five minutes, the Lakers' second-echelon relatively solid interior line was pierced by Crawford's consecutive shots. Chandler also paid the price for his second foul for defending the Clippers' sixth man, and Dunleavy Sr. swung his arm a few times at the time, and that's what he wanted.

At 7:06 in the second quarter, the score was 36:36, and the two teams were tied.

The Clippers' Crawford table xiàn excellent, the Lakers' Byron. Davis was not far behind, in the first quarter Zen Master intended to replace his main point guard in advance, and in the second quarter Byron . Davis soon returned to the court and led the Lakers on the offensive end against the Clippers, and his individual scoring increased to 10 points during that time.

The elder Dunleavy took advantage of the dead ball to replace the twin brothers, and the lineup on the field became: Billups, Crawford, Barnes, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

The Lakers also replaced Kobe Bryant and Gasol, and the lineup became: Byron. Davis, Kobe, Adam. Morrison, Powell, Gasol.

After Ji Guoyi came on the court, he played against a player who averaged only 2.5 points per game in his career, and this Josh Powell also played in the summer league with the Clippers last year, but was cut before the regular season. Strictly speaking, they also worked as teammates for a while.

The Lakers' biggest regret now is letting Ariza go, and after trading Margeti in February, they simply didn't have a qualified starter at the No. 3 spot. Odom can do it, but he has to connect the Lakers' offensive firepower off the bench, and it's impossible for the Zen master to put all five of the team's best players on the court. Now seeing Ariza's table in the Rockets, the annual salary of 4 million is really not expensive at all, even the Rockets did not expect that Ariza would play 15+5 in the Rockets this season, and the front line formed with Battle also made many backcourt stars suffer at Toyota Center Court.

When Ji Guoyi saw the CBA-level player, the abuse skill was activated instantly, and the Clippers team spontaneously played the No. 4 position strong attack tactics without the instructions of the old Dunleavy, and the whole team began to set up cover for the fox brother to help Ji Guoyi brush up points on Powell.

Phil. Jackson couldn't stand it a little and replaced Powell a minute later. In such a short period of time, the fox brother brushed 5 points on Powell, and then let him play, and the little fox was going to brush out a 40+ again.

The Lakers will be Adam. Morrison switched to the No. 4 position and then put Farmar on the court to play double point guard with Davis, which was also a no-brainer. At the beginning of the season, the Zen master wanted Sun Yue to play the second and third swing man, but his shooting was too poor, and his physical confrontation was also a problem, and he was only more than 200 pounds tall at more than two meters.

However, Lakers fans in Staples still have a pain in the egg, and Adam Staples is still in pain. Morrison also couldn't prevent Ji Guosha, and to the fox brother who wanted to score points, this can only prove that the Tanhua Show of Qiao's gang leader has a very poor vision of people, and he only has the life of being exploded in front of Ji Guosha.

When Ji Guoyi played against the Bobcats, he was so frustrated that even the Qiao gang leader was black, and he described Jordan's selection based on - "Give me his body now, Lao Tzu will win 6 crowns in at least 14 years." ”

Of course he was joking, Jordan had a reason for selecting Morrison, who is one of the best scorers in the NCAA since Anthony, but who would have thought that he would be so watery in the NBA? And Jordan isn't all about his scoring ability, Morrison's desire to win is even more pleasing to Jordan.

In last year's NCAA round of 16, with two seconds left in the game, Morrison thought the game was over and hid his face in tears, and he missed the opportunity to turn the tables. Finally, after the referee blew the final whistle, Morrison fell in the middle of the field and cried. Some people may think that Morrison's appearance is not strong enough, but in Jordan's opinion, he is full of desire to win, and Joe said at the time: "What I value most is his desire to win, which cannot be taught, so it was decided that it was him." ”

Of course, the ending is as expected, Jordan, who has become a laughing stock again, can only accept that he is a player who is great and unprecedented, and probably unprecedented. But as a team owner, as a Bole, all Jordan's gains so far have been failures. Of course, I can't help but mention that the level of his teaching of his sons is not very good, and he has a fight with magicians, otherwise he would not have trained his sons to be a ruined son with brains. However, he is a little better than the magician, because he did not teach his son to be a sissy. (To be continued......)
