Chapter 282: Blocking the eye-catching little fox

Blavin. Knight's playing time in the playoffs gradually decreased as the Clippers advanced, and Dunleavy Sr. sometimes preferred to use the old cat for the No. 1 spot rather than use him. Blavin. Knight is too low in height and has poor shooting ability, it is difficult to make a difference on the offensive end in the playoffs by breaking through alone, and Blaven is not young anymore, he is the same age as Iverson, but his explosiveness is declining faster than the answer, and his breakthrough is difficult to kill a team like the Lakers who have a good defense.

The old cat Mobley can shoot and break through, and his ball control ability is also good, let him play the No. 1 position full-time responsible for offense, Brother Panda is responsible for strategy, and the Clippers will not have an impact in all aspects, which is also the reason why one of the two can get a salary of 8 million, and the other can only get a veteran's basic salary.

It's no joke that some players in the NBA who have technical or physical deficiencies often struggle to get playing time in the playoffs, and their weaknesses are targeted to death by opposing coaches in the playoffs.

After the timeout, Ji Guoqiu assisted Artest to score on the offensive end, and it was Vujacic who defended the beast, this guy who will be in love with Sharapova for a while in the future, does not have much flaw in itself, and is a qualified role player.

Artest faced a new opponent and scored two goals in a row on the inside, and the beast's 260-pound weight overwhelmed Vujasic, who was only 210 pounds.

With 2 minutes and 15 seconds in the first quarter and a score of 11:18, the Clippers' timeout was not in vain, and Artest scored five consecutive points to narrow the gap to single digits.

Phil. Seeing the move, Jackson immediately replaced Turiaf and asked the French butcher to play the No. 4 position, demoting Odom to the No. 3 position to deal with Artest.

The Lakers' change of lineup also played a role, and Odom could have some restrictions on Artest with his height advantage.

The last two minutes of the first quarter of the game. The two teams started a defensive battle on the court, Kobe Bryant became more selfless on the court today than the last game, and the Lakers' offensive initiation is still in his hands. But Kobe Bryant won't hold the ball for too long today, as long as he breaks through the difficult Ji Guosha and leads the Clippers to the back. Bryant will quickly move the basketball to a weak defensive position, let his teammates continue the next offense, and immediately run without the ball after passing the ball, and continue to pull the Clippers defensive line.

The Lakers have such a great god to attract defense, and even if Kobe Bryant doesn't have a basketball in his hand, the Clippers will have to focus a considerable part of their energy on him. In this way, Kobe Bryant will invisibly reduce a large part of the defensive pressure on his teammates.

Bryant's off-ball running on the court involved some of the Clippers' defensive energy, and Farmar scored four points in a row in the last two minutes with his breakaway and pull-up jumper, and the Lakers' scoring points today became as even as the first game. Such Lakers are the most difficult Lakers to deal with.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 15:22, and the scores of both teams were not high, and the Clippers only scored 15 points, setting a record for the lowest score in a single quarter of this year's playoffs.

Ji Guoqiu got 4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in the first quarter, Ji Guozhen had 3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, Artest had 4 points and 2 rebounds, and Billups had 2 points and 1 assist. Mobley 2 points.

Bryant had 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Famar had 5 points and Odom had 5 points. Wharton 3 points, Fisher 3 points and Bynum 2 points.

"People move the ball, we need to move more balls and cooperate with them, don't stand still, that will make it easier for the Lakers to defend. Everyone moves. Use more off-ball pick-and-rolls to find open shots and easy layups. The routines in our tactical training sessions are rigid, but you have to use them as well. It's better to have a routine than no routine. ”

Dunleavy Sr. was a little excited after the first quarter of the game, and the players went through the last big win. I obviously can't find my form on the field today, the tactics are executed too casually, and I shoot directly when I have the opportunity, which seems to be decisive, but these opportunities are actually not good, so the hit rate can be imagined?

If the Clippers players continue to play against the Lakers according to the style of play in the previous game, it will definitely not have a good effect. But no matter how casual it is today, it is impossible to say that the death is not miserable, the Lakers on the opposite side are not weak, and they are not strong enough to win casually in the face of a strong opponent like the Lakers.

In the second quarter of the bench period, the two teams were replaced by the Zen master in advance, and Gasol, who was mixed with the substitute lineup in the second quarter, finally got the opportunity to kill on the court!

The Zen master saw that Gasol's table was not good in the first quarter, and immediately replaced the Spaniard early, just to let him find confidence in the second echelon against the Clippers' bench, Gasol's strength should be above either of the twins, but in the first three games, his table Xiàn was barely equal to the two, which made the Lakers have been at a disadvantage inside.

Phil. Jackson knew in his heart that if his team's interior continued to be so underdog, the Lakers had little chance of winning three more games, and Gasol would have to play at an All-Star level for them to advance.

At 8 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter, the score was 19:26, and Dunleavy Sr. replaced the twins.

In the bench battle, the difference between the two teams has not changed, and the old Dunleavy is naturally not as thoughtful as the Zen master considered, but he replaced the main force that did not play well in the first quarter in advance, but just sent Billups to lead the bench lineup against Gasol in the second quarter, which can be regarded as a mistake, and the Zen master could have been regarded as a trick, but it was broken by the Clippers.

Dunleavy Sr. said, "Did I just do something great? ”

Gasol made a big killing spree in the second echelon of the Lakers, and Billups also took the opportunity to blow up Farmar.

In the Clippers' three-game series, Billups has continued to play steadily and efficiently, and his numbers are not too impressive, but when the team needs him to step up, most of the time Billups has lived up to the expectations of the fans, shooting a lot of key goals.

In the second quarter, Billups, Ji Guoyi, and Ji Guoqiu, the three absolute main forces, returned to the court, and the Clippers' offense began to get on track, and their hand began to recover.

Kobe and the twins returned to the court at the same time, Peter Pan hit a three-pointer on the offensive end first, and this shot was very unreasonable, but Kobe only needed to control this unreasonable shot in a certain number of times. Jackson instead encouraged him to throw the ball appropriately. Because the rate of return is high.

Ji Guoyi's defense this time was two steps away from Kobe, he didn't expect Kobe to shoot one step away from the three-point line, today Kobe seems to have been playing very reasonably, he thought that the other party would not shoot such a ball again, and the result was miserable*!

"How does it feel to score 50 points?" When Ji Guoyi ran to the front court. Unleash your Viper skills at Kobe.

"You'll never know." Kobe Bryant replied to Ji Guosha with words this time, because the little fox hadn't scored 50 points yet.

After Kobe Bryant said this, he felt that his trash talk seemed to be very clever today, and he suddenly became energetic, and as soon as his eyes lit up, he continued to taunt Ji Guosha: "Do you know what it feels like to score 81 points? Oh...... Maybe you'll never know how it feels. And what about 60 points? Well...... I think it's still very difficult. ”

"The guy who could only sit on the bench in the first season, when I got 40+. Are you still sitting on the bench watching O'Neill play? Ji Guoyi was angry, his words were vicious, but he had no technical content, which was not like his style.

Both of them were very angry and glared at each other.

Ji Guoyi had already arrived at the front at this time. He didn't realize that the ball passed to him by Billups happened to fly past him at the moment, and he actually patronized a verbal fight with Kobe Bryant and forgot to catch the ball!

"This idiot!" Ji Guoqiu sighed, the basketball was out of bounds, and the dead fox made a mistake this time, and it was stupid!

Ji Guo's neck shrunk in shame, and he apologized to Billups again and again. Because this mistake is not his, but counted on Mr. Key, this is a typical pit father. That is, Billups has a good temper, and if he is replaced by Paul's little Zhengtai, it is time to go berserk!

The Lakers didn't know what was going on to get the ball back, Kobe Bryant forced a breakthrough on the offensive end, and when he reached the free throw line, he suddenly made a sharp stop and turned around, making a shooting motion to shake the fox brother up. then shot and hit easily, almost creating a 2+1 for Ji Guo.

"Silly big guy. See? If I want to score, I can get 50+ on your head at any time. Kobe Bryant once again mocked Ji Guosha. Now that he's in the upper hand and the team is ahead, there's no way for some nasty dead fox to fight back.

Ji Guo crossed his waist and watched Kobe Bryant walk back angrily, Brother Panda served on the bottom line, and said with a telepathic smile: "Now you know, trash talk is not omnipotent, there is no excellent table on the court, even if you can spit lotus, you can only be slapped in the face." ”

"Nonsense, I already knew, didn't I see that I was slapped in the face and couldn't fight back? Boss, you should pass me a few good balls, I'm going to slap me in the face. ”

The Clippers attacked, and the panda gave the poor fox a wonderful back pass, another pass that didn't look at people.

Ji Guoyi received the basketball, but he didn't get too good shooting opportunities, and Rademanovic didn't care about others, only recognized him for close defense. Ji Guoshi didn't dare to force the shot, he also remembered the fate of Kobe Bryant in the last game, and when he saw that he had no chance, he gave the basketball to Artest again.

The Lakers are playing man-to-man today, and they don't have many bags for the Clippers players, and the Zen master tells them to watch their defenders and ensure that they don't lose their positions.

Artest faced Odom's defense, also did not force the attack, and passed the basketball to Billups.

Among the five Clippers, the most obvious opposition advantage is Billups, the old fish can't keep up with him, Farmar is too poor in strength and experience, Mr. Key has the ability to blow up all the Lakers' point guards, and at this time, the Clippers players naturally have to hand over the basketball to the most confident person.

Ji Guozhi was very depressed, although Billups scored consecutive points today, he had no chance, and could only spend all his energy on defense. But even if he tried his best, Kobe Bryant could still score a lot of points on his head, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to defend Kobe, it was originally a misplaced defense. Although he was also beaten by Kobe Bryant in the last game, at least he could fight back, but today he could only be beaten passively and couldn't fight back, the little fox suddenly felt his heart was stuffed, he had never been so depressed.

At the end of the first half, the score was 43:38, and the Clippers scored 23 points in the second quarter, which was neither high nor low, most of which were won by Billups and Ji Guoqiu. However, the good thing was that they did well on the defensive end in the second quarter, and the Lakers scored even less in the second quarter, and the Clippers defeated the Lakers in a single quarter to chase the difference to only 5 points.

Ji Guoqiu had 8 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoyi had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, Artest had 8 points and 2 rebounds, Billups had 11 points and 3 assists, Mobley had 4 points, and Posey had 2 points.

Bryant had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Odom 7 points and 3 rebounds, Gasol 6 points and 4 rebounds, Bynum 4 points and 3 rebounds, Farmar 5 points, Fisher 4 points, Wharton 3 points, Radmanovic 2 points.

"We did a decent job in the first half, and the defense continued to limit the Lakers' players except Kobe Bryant and continued to grab their frontcourt rebounds. On the offensive end, in the second half we had the opportunity to try to hit the basket, today the Lakers have a lot of defensive concentration and defensive intensity, we don't shoot from the outside, and more going to the free throw line is the best option. ”

The elder Dunleavy was generally satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, and the team felt too poor in the first half of the first quarter, and he dug a big hole for himself. But in the second quarter they had already managed to fill in halfway. As long as the second half is played, they will try to tie the score in the third quarter, save the decisive battle for the final quarter, and solve the Lakers in one go.

Ji Guoqiu was in the locker room, and when he saw the dead fox sullen there, he said in his heart: "In the last game, you volunteered to defend Kobe, didn't you already decide to sacrifice yourself at that time?" Since you have known for a long time that defending Kobe Bryant will inevitably suffer humiliation from the other side, what is there to be depressed about now? ”

Ji Guoyan took a sip of Gatorade: "Damn, to put it lightly, I obviously defended very well, and I did everything I had to do, I made it more difficult for him to shoot, and it was more uncomfortable, but that bastard would still throw in." Thinking about it this way, I might as well let him vote, how to prevent TMD? Ji Guoyi thought of the depression, slapped the chair hard, then sighed, and said in his heart: "But you are right, I asked for it myself, so I will resist it no matter how depressed I am." ”

Ji Guoqiu couldn't help but smile when he saw his virtue: "I know that it must be very unpleasant to be beaten by Kobe Bryant, but think about it, you were blown up so badly in the last game, didn't everyone praise you for doing a good job after the game?" It's the same today, your contributions will be seen by all. As for you saying that you can't prevent it, it means that Kobe Bryant feels good, since he feels good, you let him vote, but you must not let him kill our inside line! Brother Panda began to enter the role of coach and continued to comfort: "I think you have drilled the horns, in fact, you have done a good job, it is you who blocked him outside, and our overall defense has not been torn apart by the Lakers' offense, which is the most important point." You are Huang Jiguang, perfectly blocking the eye-catching, allowing us to deal with the other Lakers players with relative ease, don't you know how much you have contributed? ”

Ji Guoyi's eyebrows raised, and he was slapped by Ji Guoqiu like this, and his mood immediately improved a lot. However, when he took the number table and looked at his score, his face became extremely unhappy again: "It's only 5 points, it's too little, I want to score, help me block that Radmanovic in the second half."
