Chapter 203: Choosing an Opponent
The Clippers suddenly switched to joint defense in the second half, which was not originally intended to deal with the Cavaliers' change of formation, and they would not be unpredictable, how could they think of what the Cavaliers were going to do?
It's like the other party sent it to the door by himself, and the Clippers saw that they jumped into the trap by themselves, and of course they were happy to accept this big gift.
Old Dunleavy originally just wanted to give the opponent an attack, and suddenly increased the defensive intensity and tried to hit an attack wave to take the knight away, but he didn't expect to hit the knight team by mistake.
In the first half, their joint defense did not reach the expected power, that is because the Gorilla can still organize the team by breaking through the ball when the outside shot is not accurate, the gorilla broke the Clippers' joint defense with his breakthrough point, and the other players who fell behind did not convert James' pass into more points, but also because they did not prevent the Clippers' offense, in fact, James's style of play has always been effective for the Clippers, if he has a qualified helper, the Clippers will be difficult to do.
Mike. Brown is definitely not a good helper, in the second half, Black Bread was smart, allowing James to enter the interior to play the No. 4 position, and no one on the outside of the Cavaliers could pass the ball, which happened to fall into the Clippers' joint defense and couldn't extricate themselves.
Delonti. West's breakthrough ability is very strong, but the ability to share the ball is worse than that of the gorilla, and the emperor plunged into the encirclement of the Clippers, not only did he not rescue the prince, but the two of them died directly together, and the clippers came to a pot.
The description above is slightly exaggerated, but the actual picture is that West breaks through with a dribble, only to be caught by a Clippers player, and the basketball is pulled out by Posey. The Clippers immediately launched a fast-break counterattack......
Billups ended up hitting a shot with a 10-foot board. Four points in a row in the second half widened the gap to 14 points.
Mike. Brown was in a dilemma. If the tactic of calling a timeout to cancel the halftime arrangement is called now, the blow to the morale of his own players and the damage to his own prestige are immeasurable, so this timeout cannot be called.
Daniel. Gibson dribbled, as long as he didn't enter the three-point line, the Clippers' defensive pressure was not great, and at this time, the Cavaliers guard, who couldn't find a passing target, chose to shoot a three-pointer directly from the outside......
"Bang dang!"
The Cavaliers point guard made the same mistake as he did in the rookie game, and the three-point shooting depended on the tempo. This kind of strong shooting is difficult to shoot no matter how good your shooting skills are, referring to Magic Maddie, if you want to brush the scoring champion, you can play like this, but the team's record can only be counted down.
LeBron. James was angry in his heart, but this time he grabbed the favorable position for the rebound, Ji Guozhi used the front defense, the disadvantage is that when it came time to grab the rebound, he was in pain, James jumped towards the basketball with all his strength and wanted to make up for a dunk!
"Don't think!"
Ji Guoqiu jumped from James's front, the two had equal opportunities, and James was slightly better in jumping ability. But Ji Guoqiu's height and arm span are too much different, and that little bounce advantage is completely useless. The Panda hero took a half-palm lead and received the basketball in the palm of his hand and won the rebound.
James was in a hurry, this offense couldn't be played, the Clippers scored one more, and the difference between the two teams would widen to more than 15 points, this rebound was too critical, the gorilla hit Ji Guoqiu with his strong body in the air, and knocked the panda hero to the sidelines to perform a street fight.
"Toot!"
The referee decisively blew James for grabbing the rebound ball for a foul, this rebound has been controlled by Ji Guoqiu, the gorilla's action can completely give a technical foul, if it weren't for the Clippers' big lead, the referee would have shown James a t.
Ji Guoqiu's body balance ability is outstanding, especially the waist and abdominal strength is excellent, so this street action is more for unloading, the panda hero rolled on the ground, no!
Clippers fans have been yelling at the damn gorillas, and many fans have held up insulting orangutan posters to humiliate LeBron. James.
James turned a blind eye to these photos, he had seen this kind of thing a lot away from home, and stepped forward to pull up Ji Guoqiu and whispered "I'm sorry", the gorilla's character is still good, and it was purely a fever in the head before.
Of course Ji Guoqiu won't care, in his last life, he was a brainless fan of my emperor, a typical Zhan Mi Ke black!
Ji Guoyan pursed his lips, and scolded in his heart: "The dead orangutan will put on a show, and you won't be able to win the championship if you hug your thighs, how can you have five volute rings in your hand to be mighty." ”
The Cavaliers made a staggered step, and less than halfway through the third quarter, the Clippers had turned the score to 72:55, a margin of nearly 20 points.
Mike. Brown only canceled his arrangement at this moment and continued to play according to the tactics of the first half, but the morale of the Cavaliers had already fallen to the bottom, and at this time, in addition to the Gorilla still having a desire to win, the other players were already thinking about the same question, that is, how will Cleveland fans and James fans scold themselves for rubbish after the game?
They guessed correctly, not only American fans, but also 6 billion orangutan fans in China are already scolding at the moment: "My emperor is mighty, but my teammates CBA!" This tone is exactly the same as the 6 billion Cormi opposite the Lakers when they lost.
In China, at this time, a few provocative dogs usually suddenly jump out, waving their flags and shouting: volute is mighty, orangutan six-step lang and other taunts...... Then the two 6 billion naturally scolded together, and fans came to watch with Coke popcorn.
The Clippers fans in the "Staples Arena" have begun to celebrate in advance, I don't know if it stimulated the gorillas, James spent a lot of character again before the end of the third quarter, and hit two ultra-long-range three-pointers in a row to narrow the difference to 15 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides were replaced by substitute lineups, and Ji Guoyi sat on the bench drinking Gatorade, and said leisurely in his heart: "Really...... Let them not be complacent too early in the future, I remember that the Big Three of the Heat were too complacent...... Celebrate too early...... As a result, he injured his character and was turned over 0:2 by King Nuo. In other words, did the character of King Nuo Tianwang start to accumulate from the time he was blackened, and it happened to cool down the CD when he faced the Big Three? ”
Ji Guoqiu was speechless for a while in the face of his younger brother's painful question, and said, "Tell you not to play DOTA." What's so fun about that broken game? ”
Ji Guoyan was reluctant at that time. retorted: "It's a loss for you to still run a game studio." Forget that when we crossed over, there was just a League of Legends game that was super popular? ”
"That game copied other people's dota, I don't think it will run for long, and eighty percent will be sued for infringement."
"No way, that's the studio that Big Penguin bought. By the way, do you want that broken studio to copy this game first, anyway, whoever comes will copy it, you can do it first. ”
"Well, you can have that. But later, "Angry Birds" is not finished yet. ”
The two brothers sat on the sidelines, but their thoughts were already wandering off the court, and the Clippers' bench once again played a role on the court, James' efforts came to naught after three minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers' backup who was worse than the Lakers extended the margin to 18 points.
Little Emperor barely rested in the first half. Brown had planned to let James play again after a three-minute break in the fourth quarter, but he simply didn't have to play again, and the difference between the two teams was close to 20 points, and it was impossible for them to come back with their form today.
The game just went into garbage time. The little emperor sat on the field and covered his face with a towel, and he was particularly tired from playing this year. As is often the case today, no matter how hard they try, they end up losing, and they only have a 40-win record in the East this year, which is not eligible for a championship.
On the ESPN team power list, the Clippers are now ranked tenth, and the Cavaliers are only ranked 13th, which is very unlucky, no one in the outside world is optimistic about them winning the championship, and even in the division finals, except for Cavaliers fans, no one is optimistic that the Cavaliers can break into this season.
The final score was 110-90, and the Clippers beat the Cavaliers by 20 points at home in this key battle, consolidating their position in the 8th place in the West.
Ji Guoqiu had 14 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu had 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and Billups had 13 points and 5 assists.
After the game, Ji Guoqiu exchanged jerseys with his idol gorilla, but Ji Guoqiu exchanged jerseys with the Emperor.
The Clippers received good news at their post-game press conference that the Suns and Mavericks, who played an hour later than them, had already decided the winners, and the big shark O'Neal beat Dan, who claimed to be the second center in the West, today. Pierce, who had 25 points and 12 rebounds in the dominant table, took out the Dallas Mavericks at home.
Current Western standings: 1 Spurs, 2 Lakers, 3 Jazz, 4 Hornets, 5 Rockets, 6 Suns, 7 Mavericks (50-27), 8 Clippers (49-28), 9 Nuggets (47-30).
The Clippers and Mavericks are only one win away, and in the remaining five games, their last game is just a direct conversation with the Dallas Mavericks, and then they can decide the seventh place in the West, and the Clippers' current slogan is: Civil War, not GDP.
On April 9, the Clippers beat the Nuggets in overtime at home, and Ji Guosha's desperate three-point shot sent two guns to fish!
After this game, the Clippers have led the Nuggets by 3 away games, and there are four games left in the season, unless the Clippers lose four in a row, otherwise the odds of being overtaken are only theoretical.
The Denver media was full of grief for a while, they have the league's most attacking two-gun combination, and they can't even make the playoffs, how is this possible?
The Nuggets were out, and for a time various media and fans were interested in Allen. Iverson's criticism was rampant, and the local media in Denver criticized Iverson as a "cancer", which seemed to indicate that the answer had entered the countdown in Denver.
Clippers fans were happy to win against their own team, but on the same day, the Mavericks also beat the Seattle SuperSonics at home, and the two teams still had a difference in record.
On April 11, the Clippers face the arch-rivals Lakers at home, the last meeting between the two teams this season and the league's last city-to-town derby.
Before the game, he had already released a word that this game should teach the dead fox on the other side a good lesson, and Peter Pan was still worried about Ji Guoyan saying that he was a Chevrolet.
The Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz game was also on this day, and the Mavericks were also away from the road, so it was not easy to get out of Salt Lake City.
Neutral fans are very interested in these two teams secretly competing, Lakers fans are the coolest side at this time, they can't wait, shouting at Clippers fans, to ruin the Clippers' catch-up plan at home, the little broken boat can get the eighth place is already snickering, and want to climb to seventh and meet them in the playoffs, it's just delusional!
The atmosphere before the game was very unfriendly, and the Lakers fans mixed in nearly 10,000 on the day of the game, almost turning the Clippers' home court into an away game.
As you can imagine, in such an atmosphere, the Clippers players don't feel like they're playing a home game at all.
When the elder Dunleavy saw this situation, he suddenly thought: If this is the case, they will obviously suffer a big loss in the playoffs with the Lakers, and the three away games are equivalent to all gone, and it is better to fight with the Spurs if they don't have a home-court advantage! And if you think about it, they have an advantage on the inside, and the bench is much stronger than the Spurs, and the twin brothers play one for two, even if they can't beat Duncan, they shouldn't suffer. Their comprehensive strength is stronger than that of the Spurs, and they may not be able to pull the defending champion off the horse and create a miracle of black eight! (To be continued......)
