Chapter 275: Kobe's Rules Reappear

On May 21, the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers played the third Western Conference Finals match, still at Staples Arena. *X,

Of course, there are differences, and the white in the Staples Center can tell you that today is the home court of the Clippers.

The Clippers and Lakers are two teams that are incompatible from their cultural roots, and the 20% of the residents who support the Clippers in Los Angeles are mostly working-class, low-income ordinary workers and even the lower poor; Lakers fans, on the other hand, are mostly middle-class and more affluent elites, with the majority of the wealthy.

The white playoff T-shirts worn by the fans were a free gift for Clippers fans at a major local supermarket chain, and nearly 20,000 white-shirted fans sat together in a white light that enveloped the Lakers. At the Lakers' home games, the team will also give fans yellow or purple T-shirts, but the lower grandstand of Staples is always mottled, after all, you can't count on Jack. Nicholson or Juliet. Hollywood big-names like Roberts wore uniform cultural shirts to watch the game.

In fact, the people in the front row today are about the same as the first two games, there are not many more stars supporting the Clippers, and there are not fewer big bowls supporting the Lakers.

Emma. Roberts wore the Clippers' white jersey and Julia next to her. Roberts wears the Lakers' purple jersey.

James. Cameron wore the Clippers' white jersey and Nicholson wore the Lakers' yellow jersey next to him.

Gold. Kerry wore a Clippers limited edition jersey with Daniel. Washington wears a limited-edition Lakers jersey

There are many more phenomena like this at Staples Arena today, where the front row seats are the same as the first two games, but the back is not the same as the first two games. There are always fans who insult Clippers players. It became the Lakers players who were abused today.

Despite the fact that Lakers fans poured in in the thousands. But with the efforts of the Clippers' top management, this number can no longer have much impact on the Clippers, and 15,000 Clippers fans can completely suppress Lakers fans. And compared to Lakers fans, Clippers fans are much more savage in style, which is not a derogatory term, the home atmosphere is to need such fans to create zĂ o, Jazz is difficult to play at home, and the fierce Salt Lake City fans are indispensable.

If you want to choose Ji Guosha. Of course, he hopes that his fans will be as savage and uncivilized as the Salt Lake City fans, and he believes that all NBA players will make such a choice.

Dunleavy Sr. said when he won Game 2 that don't expect an experienced team like the Lakers to get flustered if they lose a game. Indeed, they didn't increase their training after the loss, and they learned from Kobe Bryant and coach Phil. Jackson's expression looked very confident, and they hinted that the Lakers need to be more efficient on both ends of the floor.

Speaking before the game, Bryant said: "We need to be more aggressive in our pick-and-rolls offensively, especially with Billups' defense, he's a good player, but he made it too easy for him to score points yesterday. Bryant continued: "Ji Guoyi also played very well. I think we need to make it a little bit harder for them to score, because tough defending has always been a necessary part of getting the win. ”

Before the game, everyone was most concerned about Peter Pan's injury. Bryant said there was no problem, and today he wore a brace to warm his injured area, telling reporters: "In this game, I want to be more aggressive when attacking. ”

Although the Spaniard's first game was not good, Gasol did not intend to back down, and today he also took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that the team should play more inside in the attack, thinking that he should get more balls.

"We need to show that the team can give the opposition enough power on the interior and play a little bit more on the inside, and I think that will be good for our offensive work, and it will also give me more space to play more aggressively and draw more attention from the opponent's defense."

A reporter asked Gasol: "Obviously, Kobe. Bryant struggled to take over the game when the score was down, but his shot didn't feel good, is everyone okay with his attempt to take over the game? ”

Gasol scolded in his heart, how dare he say "no" to this broken problem, and immediately replied: "I think so, sometimes you can shoot the ball, sometimes you can't, that's part of the game, but I think we need to do better on the team's offense, and we will help Kobe." ”

The Clippers' starting lineup today remains unchanged, with the starting five: Billups, James. Posey, Artest, Ji Guosha, Ji Guoqiu.

The Lakers made some changes again today, moving Bynum out of the starting lineup, and the starting five became: Fisher, Kobe, Walton Jr., Odom, Gasol.

Charles. Barkley said unceremoniously before the game began: "The Lakers lost the second game, and the biggest culprit was Odom, who hit only 2 of 9 shots and only 3 of 6 free throws. He scored just eight points in 26 minutes of playing time in the fourth quarter, while committing five turnovers. ”

Kenny. Smith said: "Before this round of the series, everyone has been discussing what will happen to Gasol when he meets twins in the playoffs, and now the answer is not good for Lakers fans, even if the Lakers interior line is not completely blown up by the Clippers, but the interior line composed of Gasol, Odom, and Bynum is really at a disadvantage. If the Lakers want to win against the Clippers on the road, they will have to increase their aggression under the blue, and the team will need them to attack the opponent's basket more ferociously. For the Lakers to win, it is Odom, Gasol and Bynum who work together to support the interior and compete with the Clippers. ”

Today's jump ball, the Zen master made a strange move, using Odom to jump the ball with Ji Guoqiu, the Lakers' three leaders have a good jump, but now they are not young, and there is still a certain gap between the jump and Ji Guoqiu, so the result is still no different, and the Clippers have defeated the Lakers in three consecutive games on the jump ball.

The Clippers' offensive tactics are no different from the last game, and the old Dunleavy can not change much against the Lakers.

Billups and Panda Brother play blocking and dismantling, and Fox Brother runs without the ball on one side, this is the most basic tactic of the Clippers, and there are many variations.

Kobe Bryant couldn't see that he had an injury on his back today, Ji Guoyi had already guessed that this guy was making a big fuss, and he pretended to be half an old life at all, and there was an excuse for losing, and winning the game made him even greater.

This trick is not only Kobe Bryant can play, Ji Guoyi and Ji Guoqiu's agent team also released the news that the two of them have injuries, such as leg injuries, shoulder injuries, and knee injuries, in short, both of them played with injuries in the playoffs, but they still persevered with unimaginable perseverance, and suppressed the Lakers' interior combination under the basket.

But in fact, Ji Guo's waist is not sore, his legs are not painful, and he can seven times a night, this asks Taylor. Swift knows that the little singer has the most right to speak.

Billups used Ji Guoqiu's cover to kill the inside line, Lao Yu struggled to defend Billups alone, and as soon as the Clippers blocked and dismantled, he could only look at the back of Mr. Key and sigh in his heart.

Kobe Bryant quickly came to help defend and intercepted Billups, the old fish changed to defend Posey at this time, and the Lakers' rotation looked like it had been rehearsed, and the timing of changing defense and assisting defense was just right, and it was also very fast.

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, this time those who know the ball in attack and defense will know that Phil. Jackson has been working blocking and pick-and-roll in the past two days.

Billups was physically strong, but still forced his way to the basket, and then distributed the basketball to Artest, who was in charge.

Wharton Jr. was nowhere near physically stronger than Artest, and was forced into a goal by the beast from 10 feet away.

The Lakers' offense still didn't stop this time, but it wasn't a mistake in their defense, the Clippers' goal was completely dependent on the player's individual ability, which shows that the Lakers' defense was mostly successful.

Kobe Bryant received the serve and dribbled to the front court by himself, which may be a harbinger of Peter Pan's strengthened offense, Kobe Bryant's first two games, rarely took the initiative to push the ball forward in the first quarter.

The Lakers played the same block and dismantle on the offensive end, Gasol came out to cover, Kobe Bryant used Gasol's body to change direction, flashed past Posey and entered the inside, and the target was Ji Guosha's position.

"Damn, is this revenge?"

Ji Guozhi saw Kobe Bryant's first attack coming directly to him, and immediately knew what this guy's idea was, Peter Pan was going to take revenge!

Kobe Bryant's eyes glowed red, like an angry bull, and everyone didn't expect that the "Kobe Rules" would actually appear in the important third game.

Once someone has been wronged, once they have been "treated unfairly", they have to score high in the next game and take revenge with their personal performance. This is the "Kobe Rule".

And is the "Kobe rule" right or wrong? Or can it bring victory to the Lakers? Phil. Jackson's answer was no: "He left the rest of his teammates with no idea how to play." ”

At the end of the regular season, the Lakers played the Grizzlies, and the "Kobe rule" reappeared, and Bryant frantically cut a season-high 54 points on the Grizzlies' head after being ejected from the game in the previous game. But the result? The Lakers' 111-118 loss to the underdog Grizzlies in that game made Gasol ridiculed by Grizzlies fans for days after suffering a two-game losing streak in the most critical moment of the playoffs.

Today, Kobe Bryant is obviously taking revenge because of Ji Guosha's crazy three-game streak in the last game, and he wants to get a high score to take revenge, which is not necessarily a good thing for the Lakers or a bad thing for the Clippers.

"Huh!"

Kobe Bryant's first ball felt good, and after breaking through, he faced Ji Guoyi's supplementary defense, and found that he did not shake off Ji Guozhi with a quick cross step, and immediately connected a jump step, and used a difficult inclined and picturesque shot ** Little Fox succeeded.
