The Clippers overtook the score in the third quarter with a targeted rotation, which forced Bryant to return to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and if Peter Pan played the next fourth quarter, the game would be equivalent to only three minutes of rest. Even if he can hold on without cramping, it is doubtful how much lethality will be left under the decline of his body.

Ji Guoqiu took Dragic, Crawford, Hill, and McDyce to start the fourth quarter of the game, although the Lakers replaced Kobe Bryant in advance, but Gasol was not on the court during this time, the Lakers' offense was still affected, and they could only hand over the basketball to Kobe Bryant more and let the boss go single.

I have to say that when Kobe Bryant was on time, he could really incarnate Jordan, and he scored 30 points in the first three quarters, and his offensive firepower was amazing. Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, he hit two more shots, and with 9:35 left in the quarter, after Kobe Bryant hit a shot, the Lakers tied the score at 74:74, and his personal score had reached 40 points, and less than three minutes into the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant cut down 10 points.

"Damn, I don't believe he still has the strength to play like this."

Ji Guoyan looked at Kobe's shots, almost all of them were difficult shots, and wondered how long it would take to save up his character before he could use it?

Old Dunleavy also thinks that it can't go on like this, who knows if Kobe Bryant will be tired in the end? Now the Lakers rely on Kobe's outburst to let Gasol rest off the court, and once the Spaniard gets enough rest, it will be a bit dangerous for the Clippers.

Ji Guoyi was quickly substituted, and his task was to defend Kobe Bryant in a misplaced position, use his height advantage to interfere with Kobe's shooting, and force the opponent to break through inside. There's a panda brother there. Bryant once inside. I can't get out again.

Kobe Bryant faced Ji Guoyi's defense, and his shooting didn't work, but it was difficult to completely get rid of this difficult fox when he broke through. Even if the two are one-on-one, Kobe Bryant must be extra careful to be chased when he bursts to the basket, if it is Brother Panda who is guarding the restricted area, then Kobe has no other choice but to pass.

The Lakers' score, defended by the two brothers, was finally truncated. Dunleavy Sr. successfully forced the Lakers to replace Gasol early.

Kobe Bryant was restrained by Gasol, and it was not easy for Ji Guoyi to prevent Kobe Bryant, who was in hot form, and a stalemate was formed between the two sides.

The Clippers players didn't expect to play so difficult today, the old Dunleavy originally wanted to ask Ji Guoqiu to come down and rest for a few minutes in the fourth quarter, but now in such a shape, he didn't dare to replace Brother Panda lightly, if the Clippers didn't have Ji Guoqiu in the restricted area, the Lakers players' air cuts and Kobe's breakthrough would create a great threat.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the score was 86:86, and the defensive intensity of the two teams had been raised to a very high level. However, the score will rise faster than in the first three quarters. However, fans who have watched the game for a long time will understand that the situation in the fourth quarter is similar to the oft-said flashback. Don't look at the accuracy of everyone's shooting now, but once you pass the critical point of the body, it is likely that you will not be able to throw a ball in a few minutes.

Before the words fell, Kobe Bryant made a wonderful twisted layup after passing three people in a row, but he was stunned and slipped out of the basket.

Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound, and then singled Chandler on the offensive end, shook the opponent to make a foul, walked to the free throw line, and easily scored two points.

Lakers fans know that it's not good, Chandler has committed five fouls, the Lakers' interior defense is all about the boxing champion today, and now he finally received his fifth foul, so in the remaining five minutes, can Chandler still limit Brother Panda?

Of course, it's no play, although Ji Guoqiu's low-post footsteps are not fancy, they are extremely solid, and it is difficult to limit his low-post offense without using high-intensity defense. Chandler was carrying five criminals on his back at the moment, and it was impossible to act without scruples, and he finally couldn't hold it in the face of Ji Guoqiu's back attack.

Ji Guoqiu only rested for three minutes in the middle of the third quarter, and he has not rested until now, but the advantage of the giant panda's body is indeed perverted, and his pace is still calm at this moment, and when he performs his inside steps, the center of gravity of his body is as stable as Mount Tai. Chandler deliberately pushed hard behind him, which did not affect Ji Guoqiu's turning action in the slightest, a standard half-hook shot, and the basketball drew a rainbow and fell steadily into the basket.

The Lakers can't help it now, the two brothers' feelings in the second half have obviously recovered, and players like them can't be out of shape for the whole game. In turn, the Lakers' offense had problems, Kobe Bryant missed consecutive shots, and then began to turn to strategy, but in the face of the Clippers' conscious packing, even the passing was wrong.

Kobe Bryant is the soul of the Lakers, and once this soul figure is out of order, the impact on other players will be very severe. For example, the bearded man can miss two consecutive shots with peace of mind, this point guard who used to be the best in shape, and now he has obviously made a fortune, and the Zen master doesn't know how much he wants to trade this guy who signed a big contract and doesn't want to make progress.

The Lakers suddenly collapsed at the end of the fourth quarter, and this collapse came suddenly but traced, Kobe's body has begun to affect his shooting crosshair, Gasol's footsteps have begun to flutter, Chandler's defense is no longer vibrant, and Davis has become accustomed to handing basketball to Kobe...... It is already difficult for such a Laker to win again.

Ji Guoqiu scored two points and then two points on the court, and kept cutting meat with a knife, and when the Lakers couldn't stand such continuous injuries and began to wrap up, Ji Guoqiu immediately hit an empty three-point shot on the outside, and the Lakers were officially declared dead!

The game entered the final two minutes, and the score was 96:88.

The Lakers were scoreless in a row, and there were not many chances left, and the problem finally showed itself in the final stages of the game. The Clippers are getting more and more courageous, and other players are constantly hitting, and the score gap is quickly widened to double digits, and the gap between the two sides is further widened, and the Lakers have no chance of turning the tables.

The final score was 105-94, and the Lakers won and then lost the game, even though they led the Clippers by double digits for a while, but in the end they still had to pay the price for the first-round tiebreaker. The Lakers had a chance to finish the game in the first five games, but their habitual carelessness allowed them to play the full seven games, and now they still have to blame themselves for the problems in the second round.

Ji Guoqiu scored 16 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists and 6 blocks in this game, and it is worth mentioning that his 6 blocks were awarded twice to Gasol and twice to Kobe. As for his three pairs, there is really nothing to say, Brother Panda is now synonymous with three pairs, if you can't see him get three pairs for more than a month, it is called abnormal.

Ji Guoyi scored 24 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks this season, and he scored less today, but 16 points were concentrated in the second half.

The two brothers teamed up to send 10 hot pots in this game, which shows that the two of them are mainly focused on defense, and these ten blocks undoubtedly determine the trend of the game, sometimes a block plays a greater role than a score, it can increase the team's momentum more than a score.

After the game, Ji Guoyan smiled and said "GG" to Kobe Bryant.

The provocative meaning of these words was very strong, so Kobe Bryant replied with a word starting with "F", which happened to be captured by the sideline camera, and the fans felt that it was a bit like Payton scolding Jordan back then.

Ji Guosha was scolded, and continued to add fuel and vinegar at the post-game press conference, he said: "The arrogant army will be defeated, and the most feared thing for both sides to fight with soldiers is pride." If you rush into battle without being fully prepared for the battle, and when the two sides are fighting, you want to make adjustments when you find that the other party is menacing and the comer is not good, and many plans may be discounted when they are used. Ji Guoyi's words were obviously mocking the Lakers' consistent style, and his voice changed when he said this: "I'm very happy, we didn't make such a mistake, we were fully prepared for the difficulties in the early stages of the game, so when we didn't feel good in the first half, we chose the strategy of defending first and patiently waiting for the opportunity to come." In the end, we managed to wait for the moment when we felt like we were restored, and finally came back to win. ”

The reporters said in their hearts, you only need to say the second half, what does the first half mean? Is it just for the sake of mockery?

Ji Guoqiu praised Chandler's defense after the game, saying: "The Lakers' center played very well today, and to be honest, I didn't expect Chandler to be so fierce on defense when he was one-on-one with me. So, I didn't shoot lightly in the first half, he managed to limit my offense for a while, and that's why we struggled in the first half. ”

Brother Panda then said: "I've read a lot of related reports before, and a reporter from the Los Angeles Times once said that if we maintain a high level in this series, the Lakers are basically hopeless. But I don't think that's the case, the Lakers are a tough opponent, and if they hadn't played seven games in the first round, we might not have been able to get ahead in the end. So, if we want to win three in a row, then don't be arrogant and play this series as if it were a grand final. ”

Dunleavy Sr. also said: "If you think that if you win the first game, you will be better than the opponent, and you may lose the second game badly." We're in a psychologically advantageous position right now, but the Lakers are still in control of their own destiny. ”

Lakers fans are in tears at the moment, listen...... How do teams that have won two consecutive championships take the game seriously, how do they always make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, knowing that this is the most taboo thing in the playoffs, but the Lakers just don't have a long memory.

Ji Guoqiu also expressed his views on the Rockets VS Suns, he believes that these two teams are evenly matched, and they will not divide the winners and losers lightly, and the chances of playing Game 7 are very high.

Ji Guoyi said: "I want to play the Suns, because I haven't played against the Suns in the playoffs, but the Rockets have already met twice." (To be continued......)
