On May 10, the immortal Ji Guosha decided to get rid of the Lakers in one go and complete the task of sweeping the opponent.

The Magic expressed his opinion before the game, he believes that the Clippers have a large number of high-quality outside shooters, the starting twin brothers, Billups and Afralo all have good outside offensive ability, and the substitutes Crawford, Dragic, Barnes, and Garcia are all players with speed and range.

In the first three games, the Clippers hit 30 of 68 three-point shots, reaching a 44% three-point shooting rate, and the twin brothers, Billups, and Crawford all used three-pointers to heat up the Clippers' offense at critical moments.

Not only are the Clippers strong on the inside, but they also make the most of their outside strengths. Not only did the three-point shot give the Lakers a heavy blow, but the passing routes of Billups and Ji Guoqiu were also a problem that the Lakers couldn't solve, and when the Clippers played blocking and dismantling, the Lakers' interior line, whether it was Gasol or Chandler, could not keep up with the pace of defense, and was killed by the blocking tactics of the Clippers' outside players many times.

Magic's remarks made Phil. Jackson was secretly dissatisfied, the Zen master actually hated the pre-game remarks of the team fathers, and the magician said these things, didn't he know? But sometimes you don't know what the problem is, you must be able to solve it, otherwise you can just hire a magician to be the coach?

Many of the team's celebrities can't learn to keep a low profile after retiring, they can't forget the feeling of being in the spotlight at the peak, and they like to come out and point fingers at the team, and the taste is enough to show their sense of existence. This phenomenon is not only in basketball, but also in football, but these people's statements are actually not constructive for the team in the slightest. Those experts speak more professionally than they do. Veteran fans don't know any less than they do. But the latter two will not have much impact on the team, only these celebrities will have the most impact on the team.

Kobe Bryant is also having a headache now, although the criticism of him from the outside world is not fierce, but Peter Pan is more concerned about the team's inability to win, and he can't accept the result of being swept.

Peter Pan faced an extremely awkward problem in this series, that is, it was difficult to reach a balance in terms of scoring offense or passing. In the first game with the Clippers, Kobe Bryant made 30 shots in the game, but he was able to hit 15 shots. The shooting rate of up to 50% is commendable in terms of efficiency, but in the game where he scored 42 points, the Lakers finally lost the game in the final moments.

Similarly, in the second game, Kobe Bryant slightly reduced the number of shots and had an efficiency of 10-of-20 shooting, but while he scored 24 points, the Lakers lost the game again, and the gap was even greater.

Finally, it came to the third battle. Bryant deliberately reduced the number of offensive shots this time, and only 15 shots in the whole game. He hit 9 shots and scored 22 points, which is a very efficient score, and he also handed out 8 assists.

Bryant was clearly trying to organize the team's offense in this game, and it stands to reason that the team should have won, but the Lakers still lost the game by six points. It also seems to mean that the Lakers can't win whether Bryant chooses to attack on his own or choose to pass.

Lakers fans feel that this year's playoffs are somewhat familiar, and the same situation occurred in the first round of the playoffs in 2006, when Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points per game in the regular season and became the league's leading scorer without accident. However, when they led the Suns 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs, they suffered a super reversal from the Phoenix people.

At that time, Kobe Bryant shot 20 of 35 in the fifth game, and scored 50 points with extraordinary efficiency, but the Lakers finally lost, and in the crucial seventh game, Kobe Bryant shot 8 of 13 in the first half, and scored 23 points with an astonishing efficiency, but in the entire second half, he only made 3 shots and scored 1 point with only one free throw.

In today's crucial fourth game, Kobe Bryant seems to be acting out the tragedy of 2006, he was very efficient in the first quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 16 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, and by the way, he gave Ji Guosha an elbow and bleed the little fox's lips.

The reason why Ji Guo is ashamed is that he played no worse than Kobe Bryant today, as an interior player, he has height and shooting, his athleticism is not inferior to the No. 3 position, and his offensive ability is all over the entire half, he can not only attack on the inside, but also shoot on the periphery, and the shooting range can even be pulled two steps outside the three-point line.

Gasol has little to do about Ji Guoyi's flexible attack, and when Ji Guozhi frequently pulls to the outside line to attack today, his defense is still difficult to expand. When the Lakers used Odom and Moon to defend, they couldn't limit the fox brother in terms of height.

In Game 4, Ji's first scoring was on a fast break, he received the ball from outside the three-point line, and the unguarded shot hit the ball, which once again challenged the Lakers' defense in the opening game. Then Ji Guoyi continued to attack the Lakers' interior line, first scoring with both hands after cutting from the low post, and then holding the ball in the waist position and singled Gasol with his back. Gasol failed to win the referee's whistle with a fake fall and failed to create an offensive foul. At the same time as Gasol fell to the ground, Ji Guosha burst to the basket and staged a wonderful windmill dunk, which gave the Lakers another hard blow.

It was after this dunk that Kobe Bryant secretly gave Ji Guozhi an elbow during a supplementary defense, and was shown a technical foul by the referee.

The two teams fought 28:28 in the first quarter, and the Lakers relied on the crazy Peter Pan to keep the game deadlocked, and Kobe Bryant scored 16 points in the first quarter, but did not have an assist.

In the second quarter, the Clippers no longer defended Kobe Bryant alone and began to properly trap Peter Pan, but they still couldn't stop Kobe's crazy table, just like the Lakers couldn't stop the two brothers' dominant table.

In the second quarter, Chandler and Gasol switched defenses, and Gasol opened the game with the ball under the basket, but a close shot was missed by the interference of the panda brother. In defense, Gasol fell to the ground again in the face of the breakthrough of his panda brother, but the referee was still indifferent, and this was the second time that his sister-in-law made a foul to no avail.

Ji Guoqiu was alone in the second quarter, first with a successful defense, and then with a wonderful dunk. It allowed him to find a sense of scoring. Then he made a split shot after blocking and picking with Billups. The sister-in-law found that she still couldn't keep up, and the panda brother simply ignored Gasol's defense for a few minutes. In the end, in desperation, the Zen master could only replace Gasol with Odom at 7 minutes and 50 seconds, and then replaced Gasol in the last two minutes of the first half, by which time the Lakers were already three points behind.

After Gasol returned to the court, he faced Ji Guoqiu again and quickly received a pass under the basket. But in the face of Brother Panda's leaky defense, Gasol's left-handed layup bounced out again. Chandler grabbed the rebound. But the twin brothers who followed one after another prevented a walking violation. Kobe Bryant was so angry that he slapped him on the outside, angry that his two insiders had such a clumsy appearance.

Kobe Bryant certainly has reason to be angry today, and today Peter Pan turned on a crazy offensive mode, making 18 crazy shots in the first half, hitting 10 shots, and getting 28 points and 5 rebounds. But his team has been behind, which can't help but remind Kobe of the painful experience of scoring 50 points in 06 and finally losing.

The score of the first half ended up at 58:55, and the Clippers went into the second half with a three-point lead.

Ji Guoqiu contributed 12 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in the half, and Ji Guoqiu had 20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

After the start of the second half. Gasol's watch was still tepid until the third quarter went on for 3 and a half minutes. The Spaniard shot under the basket for the first time, but was ruthlessly blocked by Ji Guoqiu. To the Lakers' regret, Gasol not only did not show shame, but fell silent for more than 2 minutes.

With five minutes left in the third quarter, Gasol finally got his chance when Odom missed a jumper and Gasol picked up an offensive rebound in the crowd. But Gasol's first shot was immediately met with a frantic response from the Panda brother, and in just two minutes, the Lakers were cut by the crazy Panda by 8 points in a row, and the difference between the two teams was instantly widened to 10 points.

Here we also have to mention the table of the two team point guards, as the veterans of the team, Billups and Byron. Davis each has the responsibility of controlling the lifeblood of the team, and they are the head coach on the field. But Byron. Davis gradually lost command of the team from the third quarter, which also caused the Lakers players to slowly lose control after the score was pulled away.

In the third quarter, after the Clippers scored 8 points in a row and took a 10-point lead in Ji Guoqiu, the Lakers players began to be unable to control their feelings in the face of the upcoming sweep, and Lakers head coach Jackson still did not give up his efforts, but he still failed to extinguish the frustration in the hearts of Chandler and Odom.

In a defense in the second half of the quarter, Odom fiercely collided with Ji Guoqiu. Seeing this scene, Billups immediately ran up to help Ji Guoqiu up, and at the same time quickly pulled Brother Panda away. On the other side, Grant. Hill also grabbed the fox brother who wanted to step forward.

The twin brothers are the lifeblood of the Clippers, and if they are drawn into a conflict and sent off the court, it will be more than worth the loss. In order to achieve the hope of a comeback, the Lakers let a player foul viciously, and it is not impossible to provoke a fight among Clippers players.

Byron, on the other hand. Davis and Kobe Bryant didn't say anything, as if they didn't care about themselves.

It didn't take long for Lakers center Chandler to foul again, and Ji Guoyi's layup was slapped on the head by the boxing king. And this time it was Billups who ran up to appease all the Clippers players on the court, and Dunleavy Sr. also deliberately kept Billups and Hill, and the two veterans quickly controlled the anger of the fox brother.

In contrast to Billups, it is Byron. Davis and Kobe, the two of them failed to control the team's feelings, and the Lakers continued to foul viciously at the end of the third quarter, Chandler was finally fouled, and Odom also received a malicious foul, and the Clippers unknowingly stretched the score to 15 points.

Now just think about the Clippers rule, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a deficit of more than 15 points, which is basically equivalent to being swept by the Clippers. Especially when Chandler was fouled out in the third quarter, they didn't have the advantage of the inside, and they couldn't compete with the Clippers at all.

In the final quarter, Gasol and Kobe Bryant made minor repairs and returned to the court for a final fight. But in the direct confrontation with Ji Guoqiu, Gasol's weak shortcomings were further exposed. The Spaniard was beaten 2+1 by his Panda brother immediately after his close-range shot was interfered with and missed. Then Gasol was stealed and missed by the fox brother, and the first minute after returning to the court in the fourth quarter almost became a nightmare for the Spaniards, and the Clippers played a wave of 8:0, which widened the difference between the two teams to 20+ in a blink of an eye, and the game was completely over at the moment.

In the last 5 minutes of the game, Kobe Bryant's eyes were on fire, ignoring the double bag in front of him, he shot three points outside the three-point line, and the result naturally popped out of the frame. Gasol was knocked off the court by Ji Guoqiu when he was scrambling for a rebound, and Odom stepped forward again uncalmly and slapped Ji Guoqiu's arm hard.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Ji Guoqiu immediately wittily smashed the basketball to the floor!

The referee really hesitated, and finally showed Odom a technical foul and expelled him directly from the game, and Ji Guoqiu, who threw the ball, also got his first personal technical foul in this year's playoffs.

Lakers fans began to leave the court early at this time, but Clippers fans were happy to smile, the Pandas got a technical foul, which had no impact at all, but Odom was sent off the court, and the Lakers' interior line was completely broken, and they had won the game.

Dunleavy Sr. quickly replaced the twin brothers and a team of main players, and the Lakers without Chandler and Odom were sent to Joel. Anthony and McDyes' interior combination is enough, and now they can start thinking about the next round.

Bryant was also substituted, and Peter Pan fell into a slump in the second half after a strong performance in the first half, and fans can clearly feel that he no longer has the murderous and passionate spirit that he had at the beginning. On the one hand, because of the Clippers' targeted defense against him, and on the other hand, because the poor defense of the Lakers team has led to the score gap constantly widening, he seems to be helpless to sleepwalk on the court.

This year, Kohzhong replayed the tragedy of 2006, but the difference was that he was angry and did not shoot in the second half, and this time he was destroyed by the Clippers' offense, and his competitive nature was lost. When the whistle blew, all eyes fell on the two losers – Kobe Bryant and Phil. Jackson, the master and apprentice ushered in a tragic ending, but their expressions told us: some plots have come to an end, and some stories are far from over. (To be continued......)
