Chapter 299: The One Who Came to Yin
At 3:05 in the third quarter, the score was 70:64, and the Clippers had extended their lead to 6 points, which was a yellow red flag for the Lakers. But the bad thing is that they still don't feel good, but because they are falling behind, they become more impatient, and the more impatient they are, the more they can't shoot.
Now the Zen master is facing more than just the problem of poor hand, in the final three minutes of the third quarter, the Clippers have begun to rotate for the final quarter of the showdown. Billups was substituted and Artest was back on the court, with Dunleavy Sr. clearly pre-lining up for the fourth-quarter bench. The so-called famous coach is also trained little by little, no one is born to be a champion coach, Phil. Jackson may not have been much better than the old Dunleavy 20 years ago, but one championship after another has reborn the Zen master.
Old Dunleavy compared to Phil. Jackson, it is true that he is a little inferior in talent, but he has twin brothers in hand, even if he can't become a historical coach like a cardinal and a Zen master, he may not be able to become a qualified champion coach. It's like the magician said - with twins in hand, as long as their coach isn't an idiot, they can get good grades.
The Zen master did not replace Kobe Bryant in the last few minutes of the third quarter, and if he didn't at this time, he wouldn't have a chance to in the future. Kobe Bryant is tired or not now, and the Lakers have to put him on the court if they want to win. Phil. No matter how high Jackson's wrists are, he will not be as comfortable as Dunleavy Sr., and after thinking about it, he can only replace Gasol, who is not particularly good in shape, but still keep Kobe, Odom, and Bynum on the court.
The Lakers relied on the practice of not letting most of the main players rest to quench their thirst, and finally controlled the score to single digits before the end of the third quarter.
Bryant hit a two-point shot at the buzzer. Left hope for the Lakers' comeback in the final quarter.
The score is 75:68. The Clippers finished the third quarter. A seven-point lead heading into the final quarter.
Ji Guoqiu had 12 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, Ji Guoqiu 22 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Billups 13 points and 5 assists, Artest 10 points and 4 rebounds, Posey 7 points, Garcia 4 points, Mobley 4 points, Thomas 3 points.
Bryant had 27 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Gasol had 14 points and nine rebounds, Odom had eight points and eight rebounds, Rademanovic had six points and five rebounds, Fisher had six points and three assists, Vujacic had five points, Bynum had two points and five rebounds, and Walton Jr. had two points.
Jeff. Van Gundy said before the start of the fourth quarter: "Generally speaking, a team with a big center under the basket will have a more daring outside player to steal and count on his teammates to make up for it when he is out of position. But the Lakers just lack the minimum athleticism and oppression. They have Bynum and Gasol, two interior players who are in the top five in the league, but have the third-lowest turnover percentage in the league. They can't force opponents to make mistakes on the defensive end, and they can't offset the disadvantage of being rebounded by the twins all the time on the defensive end. ”
The Magic was equally angry with the Lakers' defense, saying: "The Lakers are not bad at defending opponents, but in the playoffs, the Lakers give opponents 98 shots per 100 possessions, and they rank last among playoff teams in terms of limiting the number of shots." The Lakers' defensive approach is tantamount to digging a big hole and trying to climb out of it - giving the opponent a lot of shooting opportunities first, and then trying to compress the shooting percentage as much as possible, I don't think it's the style of a championship team, it's too passive. ”
Zen masters also know their team's weaknesses, but they don't have an athletic interior like the Clippers twins, their interior line is soft, silly and cute, Kobe Bryant has gradually focused more on offense in recent years, and the old fish defensive star point guard has been being exploded. Looking at it this way, the Lakers' lineup looks strong, but in fact it is not as strong as imagined, everyone thinks they are more powerful than the Clippers, more because of the high exposure, and there are Zen masters + Kobe Bryant, two superstars in their respective fields, in the team.
To put it simply, this is the strength that has been praised by the media, and England is a hit in every World Cup, but every time the ending is a tragedy.
In this year's playoffs, the Lakers in the West and the Celtics in the East are known as the top seeds in their respective divisions, but in fact, if you talk about hard power, they are not as good as their opponents in the division finals, and the strength of the Clippers and Pistons is really strong.
In the fourth quarter, the Zen master made a desperate bet, Kobe, Gasol, and Odom all appeared on the court, and the Lakers wanted to win, so they had to give it a go!
Dunleavy Sr. gave the twins a three-minute break in the third quarter, and the two of them had to withstand the Lakers' counterattack in the fourth quarter. Once they lose this game, Game 7 will still be the home court of the Lakers, and the Purple and Gold will use the morale gained by today's Jedi counterattack, and the Clippers will have little hope of advancing again.
Kobe Bryant came up and hit a three-pointer first, Peter Pan felt good most of the time today, and Kobe Bryant in the last quarter will only be stronger, this ball hit, Kobe Bryant has scored 30 points.
Ji Guoqiu turned his head and assisted the fox brother to return the color outside the three-point line! Ji Guoyi's score today is second only to Kobe, and after this goal was hit, the little fox also scored 25 points.
At this moment, whether it is the fans of the two teams or neutral fans, they all think that Ji Guoyi and Kobe Bryant will start a good show on the court like the first quarter of the game. But the fox brother is obviously not strong enough, and he does not have Kobe's super continuous scoring ability at the critical moment, after he shot this three-pointer, two consecutive attacks ended in iron, and the score was immediately caught up by the Lakers.
The elder Dunleavy did not call a timeout, and chose to let the players solve it themselves, or he didn't have any good solutions, the Lakers' defense was similar to the third quarter, and being chased for points was completely the player's problem - the fox brother hit the iron!
Ji Guoqiu looked at the score, 78:75, less than two minutes in the fourth quarter, the Lakers had chased the score to only three points. Brother Panda consciously shifted the attack point in the next attack, Ji Guoyi missed, and they had other options, such as Artest, this guy is also very useful when he fights hard.
Artest received the pass and attacked Odom, but the lama did not wander at this time. But it still did not withstand the onslaught of the beasts. Section III. Artest was replaced by Dunleavy Sr. Although he didn't say it, the beast was very unhappy in his heart, he wanted to show that he could get tens of millions of annual salaries, which was by no means something that Garcia and his ilk could replace, because he could not only defend, but also attack!
Odom faced the rampaging Artest, and the single defense was obviously unbearable, and the two of them were almost the same on their feet. Odom has a height advantage, but Artest also has a strength advantage, and the beast's impact gives him the upper hand against Odom.
Artest scored in a row, and Phil. Jackson finally called a timeout, and Staples Field was a lot quieter at this point.
Jeff. After a timeout, Van Gundy said: "This year's Lakers may not be ready to win a championship, and I think the biggest flaw in the Lakers' roster is that they don't have a good wing defender. Odom's personality and ability are better suited to the bench position, and he is one of the most versatile players in the league right now, claiming to be able to play five positions from point guard to center, but this makes him more suitable for the role of bench leader. He can lead the substitutes of Famar and Vujacic when he is on the bench. ”
The magician sighed. Reluctantly said: "Bynum's early regular season was good, but then he was injured for most of the season. In the playoffs, the hurried comeback director was in a slump, and the Lakers actually had only Gasol alone to take the lead. Odom is more of a jack-of-all-trades, where Phil is needed. Jackson moved him to where he was, and the ambiguity of the location led to his own confusion. The Lakers have several problems this season, first, lack of a strong defensive No. 3 position, second, the interior state is sluggish, third, they don't have a star sixth man, a championship-winning team, and must not be missing a super sixth man like Ginobili. ”
At 6 minutes and 30 seconds in the fourth quarter, the elder Dunleavy replaced Billups, and the Clippers lineup became: Billups, Mobley, Artest, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.
The Clippers' super sixth man, the old cat Mobley's appearance, has been good, which has also compressed Garcia's playing time, and Afralo, who was traded with Billups, has not even had a chance to play. Today's old cat's table is also good, the old Dunleavy intends to use his offensive ability, and the defensive end orders Mobley to only prevent Kobe Bryant from breaking through, and the latter can shoot the basket and use all his energy on offense.
The elder Dunleavy commanded, and Bryant Bryant had scored nine points in less than half a quarter of the fourth quarter. However, the Clippers did not replace Mobley, the old cat also scored 6 points in the fourth quarter, plus Artest scored 4 points in the fourth quarter, the Clippers' score in the second and third positions and Kobe Bryant formed a stalemate, and the Lakers not only did not catch up with the score, but slowly lost the score they had just caught up.
With a score of 93:88, the Clippers led the Lakers by five points.
Ji Guoqiu had 14 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists, Ji Guoyi 25 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, Billups 13 points and 6 assists, Artest 14 points and 5 rebounds, Mobley 12 points, Posey 8 points, Garcia 4 points, Thomas 3 points.
Bryant had 36 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Gasol 16 points and 10 rebounds, Odom 8 points and 8 rebounds, Rademanovic 8 points and 5 rebounds, Fisher 6 points and 4 assists, Vujacic 5 points, Bynum 4 points and 5 rebounds, and Wharton Jr. 2 points.
The game entered the last six minutes, and after a high-intensity confrontation in the first half of the quarter, the two teams died down, slowed down their rhythm, and began to consciously adjust their state. This is to prepare for the outbreak at the last moment, a game cannot be ** all the time, and when the players' CDs are restored, there will be a final wave of team battles between the two sides, and then it will be time to divide the victory and defeat.
The Zen master took this opportunity to replace Kobe Bryant first to rest for a while; Dunleavy Sr. also replaced Artest off the break, and replaced Garcia and Posey to play a joint defense. The defensive intensity was naturally not as great as in the third quarter, but it was enough for the period to be excessive.
In the next two minutes, the two teams didn't score as soon as they let go, the table tennis on the basket sounded, and the two teams took the opportunity to brush up the rebounds, especially Ji Guoqiu, this guy, in order to brush a 20+, actually snatched two of Ji Guoqi's rebounds, so that Taylor on the sidelines. Swift scolded the dead panda for being shameless, and even bullied his younger brother.
In the 3rd minute and 40 seconds, the old Dunleavy replaced Artest, the Lakers also replaced Kobe, and the two teams changed the full main lineup back to the court.
After Kobe Bryant came on the court, he relied on his own blue and put a big move first, and made a "Keshen iron elbow" to Artest, who kept making small movements! ”
But to the disbelief of Lakers fans, Artest, the bastard, actually dodged, and not only dodged, the beast also came to a defensive counterattack against the boss, and quickly approached and gave Kobe an elbow to the ribs.
Of course, this elbow also didn't hit, because the boss's dodge was also full, and his body was very flexible.
As soon as these two people came up, they went back and forth, it was like playing free fighting, and they didn't pay attention to the referee at all, and the result was naturally unsurprising, and they both received a technical foul!
The earth-shattering insults had already sounded in the Staples Arena, and Artest dared to elbow Kobe, and naturally the Lakers fans in the back row greeted the female relatives of the whole family loudly.
After Artest returned to the court, he was placed in the second position by the old Dunleavy, just opposite Kobe, and he suddenly played free fighting with Kobe at this time. In fact, this is indeed what the old Dunleavy ordered, it is too difficult to prevent Kobe, but it is much less difficult to provoke Kobe. At this critical moment, even if Artest is sacrificed, the impact on the Clippers in the eyes of the elder Dunleavy is nothing, and he still has Mobley and Garcia to use. Therefore, at this time, Artest has to give full play to his villainous attributes, and strive to pull Kobe Bryant to die, then he will be a great achievement.
The Zen master knew that it was not good, so he immediately called a timeout and signaled Kobe Bryant to calm down.
Kobe Bryant endured this breath, and in normal times, the old nature wants to have a good competition with Artest, such as crazy single Artest, or continue to attack with "Keshen Iron Elbow" or something like that...... But today, he has to focus on the overall situation, and Kobe Bryant will not lose his mind at this time. But the anger in his heart was provoked, and it is impossible to say whether it will affect his performance, and the elder Dunleavy never planned to get Kobe Bryant down, but wanted to affect his shooting from the beginning.
Phil. Jackson missed Turiaf lying in the hospital at this time, originally they also had wicked people to harass the twin brothers, but the little fox didn't know if it was prescient, and actually gave their villains a second first, and now the Clippers are worse than them, which is very bad!
Old Dunleavy's trick, in addition to making the Lakers' media and fans scold shamelessly, commentators and neutral fans from other countries are full of praise for it!
Originally, the game was uncivilized, and there was only a difference between victory and defeat. If you lose, you just play civilized, and in the end, you will be awarded a fair play award, which means that you are a fair and just loser! (To be continued......) R527
