Chapter 702: Don't Trust That Panda!
Ji Guoyi's scoring statistics dropped in the second half, and he focused on defense. Now he is more and more experienced in defending breakout maniacs like Ross and Westbrook, and he is only a beat slower, Ji Guoyi can make up for it with his height and reach, and as long as his teammates delay him a little, no one in the entire league can get the ball to the basket before his help defense.
Jordan Jr. can't do such an excellent co-defense, in addition to the requirements for footsteps and height, there are also high requirements for the timing of the co-defense, and Jordan Jr.'s brain can't judge the timing of the co-defense, he often leaks out his defenders, but it is counterproductive.
Kobe Bryant knew that he couldn't do it brutally, so even if he didn't feel good and wasn't sure, he wouldn't easily go deep into the basket.
Rose played too little with the Clippers, and in this game he incarnated as Westbrook, and the continuous brainless strong bursts sent himself to Ji Guoyi's mouth, and was swallowed by the little fox with his mouth open, and finally there was no bone left.
After the third quarter, the score was 100:75, and Ji Guosha sent 3 blocks in a single quarter to teach Ross to be a man.
The fox brother laughed in his heart, these rising stars probably haven't seen what Garnett and Duncan are like at their peak, and now let them see what they are like and let them know that if you want to win the championship, it's not enough to rely on the outside, especially when your opponent has a historic insider.
Thibodeau was helpless about this, Noah and Boozer were beaten again in the third quarter, and the morale of the Clippers players today has been completely played out and can no longer be extinguished. The Bulls players are now at rock bottom in form, and this situation is unlikely to have a comeback miracle.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams of Mingjin closed their troops. All the main players are down. The game goes into garbage time.
Ji Guosha appeared in three sections. With 34 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals, his brilliance beat everyone today.
Rose knocked his head off in this game, hitting only 8 of his 25 shots, a perfect replica of the last game of his brother Fox.
Kobe Bryant was cunning and ruthless, the team lost, but his performance was not bad, he didn't feel good in the first half, but in the second half Kobe saved himself. He finished with 24 points and hit 9-of-18 shots.
After comparing the data of these two, Rose found that his core position could not be grabbed back for the time being.
In February, the Clippers won six of their eight games before the All-Star break and remained in first place in the West; The Nets, on the other hand, played nine games in front of the All-Star break, winning six of them and losing three, also in first place in the East.
The four giants of the East are killing each other, the Nets, Knicks, Bulls, and Heat. Each team plays four games a season against other teams, and none of these four teams can win their opponents on a solid basis. Coupled with the two strong teams of Magic and Celtics, the back and forth has dragged down the win of the Eastern team.
The situation is similar for the Western teams, the Clippers, Mavericks, and Thunder are all difficult to beat each other, and the rest of the Spurs and Hornets are not good at stubble.

The Los Angeles Clippers remain the best team in the league, losing 12 games just over halfway through the season, and their dominance has declined, but it's enough for them to rank first in the league. However, the Los Angeles media did not think it was the Clippers' decline in dominance, they believed that other teams were better than last season.
This season, there are many strong teams in the league, and the gold content of winning 65 wins in a season is not far from 70 wins in the past, even if the Bulls are brought over that year, in the face of so many giant teams this season, I believe it will be difficult for them to get a record of 72 wins.
The biggest event in February is All-Star Weekend, an annual celebration of the NBA that is second only to the playoffs.
The 2011 NBA All-Star Game will be held on February 20, 2011, at the Staples Center, the home arena of the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. It was the 60th All-Star event in NBA history.
Needless to say, the process of All-Star Weekend is still the same old - the "Rookie Challenge" will be held on February 20, the "Skills Challenge", "Three-Point Shooting Competition" and "Slam Dunk Contest" will be held on February 21, and the finale "All-Star Game" will be held on February 22.
The first- and second-year rookies have been waiting for this kind of scene for a long time, grinding their fists and clapping their hands for their first All-Star trip.
But the old rivers and lakes have long been tired of this kind of show, and Ji Guoyan is one of them.
"I'm just here to watch my girlfriend sing, playing ball or something is just an incidental task, I think the coach had better not send me on the court at that time, there is no place to put the MVP trophy at home." Ji Guo's words are still not beaten, and many reporters want to beat him up when they hear it.
When the giant panda was interviewed, he said the same thing, but look at how nice people say?
When Ji Guoqiu was interviewed by reporters, he said that such an occasion should be a stage for young players to perform.
"yes, I think the rookies need to show their style more on the All-Star stage, and I'm going to help the young players in the game." However, many fans carefully analyzed it and found that the giant panda was very problematic. Looks like the East and West Stars are on the team. They are the youngest of the two animals. Dead Panda said this, could it be that he was going to grab the MVP again?
"You're so shameless, I feel like Paul is going to be killed by you." Ji Guoyan secretly despised the belly black panda in his heart, and this person's words must not be believed. Every time he was an All-Star, this bastard said that he would help him win the MVP, but he got it himself every time, and this bastard has fooled him for three years.
This year's All-Star Weekend was held in Los Angeles. Ji Guoyi is fighting on his home court, so Paul has been worried, will the fox brother compete with him for MVP?
Ji Guoyan is not so black-bellied, he really doesn't care about this kind of honor. On the contrary, the giant panda is more like the mastermind behind the scenes, and the devil knows if he will brush up on 20 rebounds + 20 assists in the game. Paul's MVP doesn't know whose pocket it will fall into.
On the red carpet on the first day of All-Star, the two brothers are undoubtedly the two bastards who are in the limelight! Just the girls around these two animals can attract a lot of attention for them.
Especially Ji Guoqiu and Emma. The Roberts duo is the most eye-catching, and fans feel that the height difference between the two is too obvious, right? The two of them went to that station. When people look at it, they feel a burst of evil thoughts in their hearts continue to emerge, and they can't help but associate it with the picture when the two of them were ashamed at night.
The first day of All-Star. The two brothers watched the "Rookie Challenge" with their girlfriends on the sidelines, and they were both asked by reporters about "labor negotiations", which is related to whether next year's NBA will go ahead as scheduled.
Labor disputes in the NBA have never stopped, and the 1998-1999 season's shortened season was a total outbreak. Every 7 years, the NBA has a labor negotiation, "Lao" is the player, and "capital" is the owner of each team and the president of the NBA.
The disputes between the two sides can basically be summarized as follows: the management demands to reduce the wages of players, to raise the age threshold for entering the NBA, to reduce the contract period, etc.; But NBA players, represented by the president of the players' union, want to raise their annual salaries, raise the salary cap, lower the age threshold, and make it easy for high school players to enter the NBA.
Last collective bargaining, David. Stern said that the wages of NBA players were already much higher than ordinary people's and should not be demanded more, which sparked extreme dissatisfaction with the players' union, which refused to sign labor contracts and went on a general strike.
In the 98-99 season, under the leadership of Jordan and others, although the players compromised in the end, the result of the compromise was to limit the high-paid players, introduce various special cases, and set a base salary to protect the middle and lower players, in fact, most of the players benefited, so this compromise is not equal to failure.
The bosses gave way a little bit in the last negotiation, but this time it was surprisingly strong, because the leaders on the boss's side became Jordan, Larry. Bird's gang used to be players.
The collective bargaining has been going on for more than a year, and the two sides have made several proposals, but there are still big differences on many major issues, including player salaries, the soft and hard wage caps, and revenue sharing. But in summary, there is really only one main point of disagreement, and that is that the bosses think they should take more, and the players think they take too little. At present, there is a tug-of-war between the management and the labor over the distribution ratio, with the labor only agreeing to reduce it to 50%, while the management insists on reducing it to 45%.
Ji Guo smiled and said: "If you want to ask me, I think this matter is very simple, see who can't survive first, the other side will win." So, the shutdown is a sure thing, and in the end, it's the fans and the ordinary players who lose the most, and the big stars don't have anything to lose, and they don't have to lose the money, but they want more money. ”
The meaning of the fox brother is to allude to the players' union headed by the old fish Fisher, and this time it sent an all-star team to join the negotiations, which is the same as the fact that so-and-so representatives are big capitalists, how do they know what the people need? They only know what they need.
On February 19, the day before the All-Star Game, the NBA held its first labor-management discussion since the summer of 2010. James, Kobe. Bryant, Dwayne. Wade, Cameron. Anthony and Chris. Paul, Kevin. Garnett and other big-name stars attended the meeting.
The two brothers didn't join in the fun, and these stars didn't invite the two of them at all, because it was difficult for these two big capitalists to say whether they were with Jordan and others. Especially that giant panda, everyone knows that he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Nets, and letting him join the players' union side is not equivalent to putting an undercover agent by his side?
David. What Stern meant was that the labor-management requirement for players to earn no more than 57 percent of basketball-related earnings would be cut to no more than 45 percent, which would mean that the average salary of players would fall by about 21 percent.
But in fact, this is not the case, the NBA's income has increased in the past two years, and the management believes that even if it drops to 45%, the player's income will actually increase instead of decreasing. But the players felt that the drop from 57 per cent to 45 per cent was too bullying and amounted to cutting them off a quarter with a single sword.
Now the media opinion believes that the players are obviously a little insatiable, they ignore the growth of the league's revenue and the increase in the cost of the league's operation, the operation of the management side makes the NBA make more money, and the player's income has been increasing, but they are not willing to pay any price for it, which is obviously a manifestation of insatiability.
The simple truth is that even if the league's current soft and hard salary cap is reduced to 45 percent, the salary cap for the 2011-2012 season will increase to about $68 million, an increase of 10 million from this year's salary cap. But if according to the distribution plan of the labor side, the salary cap of the team next year will be close to 90 million, and the highest-paid player in the team will receive a real annual salary of 30 million, or even more.
Why are these big names so desperate and unwilling to compromise?
The fundamental reason is that they want to get a maximum salary of more than 30 million in the last contract of their careers, and they don't ask if those ordinary players will have no food because of the shutdown.
Of course, the management is not a good thing, and their reason is that the league's income has increased, so even if the player distribution ratio is reduced, the player's income will not be substantially reduced. But this reason can also be given to themselves, aren't they shouting to lose money? But the income of the alliance has increased, and the income of the management has also increased, so that there will be no money-losing operation as they say.
Many fans feel that the two groups of people who have been arguing for a long time should be grateful to the Animal Brothers, and if it weren't for these two people, how could the league's revenue have risen so quickly? A large part of the extra money they made was due to the contributions of the two brothers, who were the well diggers.
The funny thing is that the people who dig the wells don't care about the well water, and these people who eat water fight for it.
Ji Guoqiu said very darkly: "The league's income has increased, and it is the fans who contribute to it, and we and the team earn the money of the fans, but now the fans may not be able to see next season's games." So I think the real victims of the league shutdown are the fans. ”
Reporters feel that this giant panda should be the chairman of the players' union, and his identity as the boss behind the scenes is actually the best support. But Ji Guoqiu is so fine, the position of the chairman of the players' union must not be touched, Lao Yu, a fool who wants to be an official, wants to be crazy, he doesn't know that some official positions are set up on the tip of a knife, and if one is not good, he will be ruined!
