Chapter 653: Solid Walls Clear the Wilderness
Ji Guoqiu said at the post-game press conference: "We won the game in the first quarter. It was probably the most fluid first quarter I've ever seen, with our offense doing whatever we wanted and our defense on point. Once you get off to a good start, the rest of the game becomes much easier. ”
The Clippers won two championships for two consecutive years, and Ji Guoqiu was the most valuable player in the finals.
This year, he is likely to continue his success.
Clippers owner Ballmer said after his team's win: "It's a good feeling to win the Western Conference and I can't wait to pick up the championship trophy." ”
Before the game, Cavaliers head coach Mike Murphy Murphy Brown seemed to have a premonition that the team was going to lose, and he said in an interview with the Los Angeles media: "I have a lot of respect for the Clippers, they have panda, fox, and a whole bunch of good players. If they find the rhythm of the game, it will be difficult for us to win. "The game went just as Brown predicted, and the Cavaliers were helpless. After the game, the Cavaliers coaches and players had "disappointment" written all over their faces.
"They put a lot of pressure on us and even destroyed our belief that we wanted to win the game. When belief is lost, we completely lose control of the game. ”
Ji Guozhi had a good performance today, and he was very happy, but after the game, he got a message from the media, which made him very sad.
This news has nothing to do with this Finals. There is a rift in the relationship between Parker and Eva, a 31-year-old Hollywood actress. According to "People", the cold war between the two sides is because Parker slept with his teammate's wife and staged a "sister-in-law theft".
It sounds like it has nothing to do with Ji Guosha. But a good bookmaker specially opened for this. Speculation is on whether Eva will date other NBA stars to get revenge on Parker.
The bookmaker put a total of 8 players on the list. Among them are not only the bad Kobe Bryant and Kemp, but also Parker's teammates Duncan and Ginobili, as well as the rightly popular James, Anthony, Wade and Ji Guoyi. Bookmakers are all priced at 10 to 10 for these players to be Eva's next date. "When Eva is dating another NBA star, the effect is definitely not the same as going on a date with the same gardener, as in the plot of 'Crazy Housewives,' which she starred in," the bookmaker said. ”
Ji Guo said shamefully that what does it have to do with me, he doesn't have any thoughts about a 31-year-old woman, is his current reputation so bad that it is comparable to Kobe?
Back in the Finals, the Clippers' first game wasn't a surprise for them. Many people have guessed this, and what is really surprising is that the Clippers did not use Ji Guosha to defend James, and those pre-game remarks seem to be just smoke bombs at the moment.
Before the Finals, the Clippers swore to the media that "we have laid out foolproof countermeasures to deal with James", but the result was complete nonsense, they did not make any arrangements for James at all, just normal defensive arrangements.
Dunleavy Sr. felt very proud after the game, and explained with a smile: "The Clippers don't really have any special solutions for how to defend James. There are no other new tricks either. Honestly, we're going to play our defense well. We're not going to create new defensive strategies for a player. We haven't done that all season, and we're not going to try it in this series, we're going to play the way we're used to. ”
Ji Guoqiu, who acted with Dunleavy Sr. before the game, also said: "Obviously, there may be some problems with our arrangement, but we like our defensive style, so we will not show some new strategies and new systems." I think the key to defending James is to have a normal focus and have him face different defenders, and we're not going to have one person defend James. At the same time, we can't destroy one part of the other in order to defend it. James is going to get his shot, but we have to make sure we don't let the Cavaliers play for the rest of the players. ”
In the first game of the finals, the fans who bought the Cavaliers and were swept were satisfied, and the absolute advantage of the Clippers put them at ease. After the first game, the betting group has reduced the odds of the Cavaliers being swept from 1.3 to 1.1 to 1.
The CIA and Los Angeles police have also stepped up protections for Clippers players and their families, not only the two brothers, but also the families of Clippers' main players, including Billups and other key players. From time to time, the Los Angeles police would go to the door of the two brothers' homes to take a turn, and if they didn't take precautions at this time, it was likely that someone would take risks.
Ji Guoyi, the fox, is actually very afraid of death, at this critical time, he not only closed himself up, but also forced the little singer to stay at home with him, in the name of protecting his girlfriend, but in fact, he was playing imprisonment at home.
Little Hermione said that she also needed protection, but the dead fox didn't dare to go out and split his legs unscrupulously during this time, and Parker's experience and hard crackdown made him a lot more honest during this time, and he had changed from four times a week to twice. The British girl can only be aggrieved during this time, and temporarily take his 1:1 ratio of 28 to solve it herself.
Ji Guoqiu's side also hurts, the first game of Christine and Colo. Moretz showed up at Staples Arena, and he missed out on a possible threesome once again, and the damn media was so busy reporting on the two girls who could be Lala, that he didn't have a chance to have a meal with the two girls or anything.
But the media madness he can understand, it is said that Kolo. Two of Moretz's four older brothers are gay, so it can be seen that the family's tradition may be that, so it's entirely possible that Superkill and Twilight are together.
"Fart, what kind of miserable are you, did the little radish squeeze you hard?"
"What is crushing?"
"Well, it's a long story."
Ji Guoyi sighed several times before he said: "That stinky girl is now implementing the tactics of clearing the wilderness, and she has to squeeze my seeds clean every day before she is willing to release them, and I have gone through a lot of hardships to leave a little seed to hand over to Little Hermione every day." Having said that, do you have any good health wine to introduce, and then go on like this. My kidneys just can't stand it. ”
Ji Guoqiu: "............"
June 3. The second game of the finals started again. The Staples Arena will once again be the coffin for the burial of the little emperor today.
The Clippers managed to limit James in the last game, while the rest of the Cavaliers failed to step up, and the defending champions won relatively easily. After a two-day break, the Cavaliers are looking to play their own style on the road. However, their momentum still did not improve, and the Clippers pressed the Cavaliers as soon as they started, and the Cavaliers were completely helpless in the face of the Clippers' interior line.
Matt. Barnes, who has always been an underrated player, managed to limit James' feet again today. Allows the rest of the Clippers to attack boldly.
The Clippers' so-called restriction is not to let James lead the whole team, and the defensive strategy is still not to contain James, and at the same time let him take every shot in a difficult way as much as possible, so as to reduce his efficiency. If James is in particularly good shape and Barnes and Hill can't defend it, that's okay, let him shoot from the outside as much as possible, and no matter how many shots he can end up shooting, the two brothers are sure to score more than him.
In the first quarter, except for Barnes, he went all out defensively. Aside from a single point, eight of the other nine players on the Clippers have scored. The Clippers are blooming more, and the Cavaliers are unguardable.
Today the Clippers started the game again 6-0 and have led all the way since then.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers extended the deficit to 10 points at 16-6.
James then scored five points in a row to close the gap to seven points, but the Clippers immediately suppressed it, and Ji Guoyi and Billups each hit a three-pointer, and after playing a wave of 10:2, they opened the gap at 28:15 in one fell swoop.
In the second quarter, Ji Guoqiu scored 4 points in a row in the low post to blast the Cavaliers' interior again, and the Cavaliers only relied on Vallejo to hit 1 point during this time.
As soon as James rested in the second quarter, the Clippers' outside Crawford's three-point shot cooperated with Ji Guoqiu's inside offense, quickly extending the Clippers' lead to 35:18.
Mike. Brown looked at the timer, the second quarter had just passed a minute, and he couldn't just replace James now, right?
The knight is the second master. Williams finally had the upper hand in the second quarter against Dragic, and the breakaway drew a foul on the Clippers to score two points for the Cavaliers at the free throw line.
However, Ji Guoqiu immediately led the team to intensify the counterattack, throwing one on the left and one on the right, which once again broke Milicic and JJ Hickson, widening the difference to 38:20.
In fact, today Ji Guoqiu didn't just blow up the two of them, Brand was also blown up by their two brothers on the inside, this year's old captain couldn't pose any threat to the two at all, Clippers fans still thought that the old Dunleavy used a pair of rookie twins to gamble on the future of the team was too risky, but now they are glad that the Clippers really did it. Look at the current Brand, he has long since lost the ability of an All-Star.
The Cavaliers' role players couldn't even get James a measly three-minute break, and the Gorillas had to rest for two minutes before getting back into the game. In the last game, the gorillas played 40 minutes, but if it weren't for the fact that the game ended up in garbage time, the little emperor might have played more than 45 minutes. And looking at the way it looks today, James may be able to play three quarters and rest again.
After the game restarted, James faced the old Hill again.
This time James played smart, Hill's defensive trap had no effect on James, and the Gorilla scored six straight points with free throws and dunks to chase the score to 38-26, but the whole situation was still under the control of the Clippers.
Ji Guoqiu made the situation worse for the Cavaliers with his sharp high breakthrough in the second quarter, and Vallejo's fake fall could not withstand the attack of the giant panda, Ji Guoqiu's breakthrough scored four points in a row, and the score became 42:26, once again pushing the Cavaliers to the edge of 20 points behind.
After the knights reluctantly asked for a timeout, Ji Guoqiu shifted his position and scored a 45-degree shot in the low post to widen the difference to 18 points.
Now Ji Guoqiu has increased the skill bar to more than four, and the knights simply can't stop such an all-powerful panda, when they start to wrap up, the panda brother and Dragic play blocking and dismantling, and assist the Latvian to hit a three-point shot, and the difference has become 19 points.
James is helpless, his teammates' defense can't limit Brother Panda at all, he can't defend Ji Guoqiu in person, right?
If only Ji Guoqiu plays, he is sure not to lose to the opponent, but the fox is also playing, Billups is also playing, and even the whole Clippers team is playing, so how can this game be played?
When James thought about it, he was a little willing to give up, he couldn't see hope at all, the Clippers were easier to deal with the Cavaliers than they had to deal with the Lakers and Suns before, and the game began to move in the direction of garbage time before the end of the first half, and the Clippers quickly led 50-28.
Ji Guoqi then replaced the giant panda, and the old Dunleavy asked Ji Guoqiu to rest.
After the Clippers came on the court, the offensive center began to shift to the outside, and the Cavaliers had just adapted to the Clippers' style of play on the inside in the first half of the quarter, and now the opponent's offensive tactics suddenly changed, and the Cavaliers players were dumbfounded.
James cut 2+1 on Ji's head to recover 3 points, but Billups immediately broke through to the basket to return the color to the emperor, and then combined with Ji Guoyi to complete a 7:0 mini-climax, and the Clippers opened the score again with 58:31.
After that, the Cavaliers continued to improve on the offensive end, let alone on the defensive end, and the Clippers led by as many as 21 points at 64-35 at halftime, and the game was once again out of suspense early.
At halftime, commentators from all over the world basically sentenced the Cavaliers to death, the Clippers played on both offensive and defensive ends, and the two brothers' offenses came one after another, and the Clippers barely had a cold time. On the other hand, the Cavaliers, they can only play through James's individual play, occasionally scoring a few points to return the color, but then they will be hurt more by the Clippers, and they can't narrow the score at all.
In the visiting locker room, the Cavaliers players all had desperate expressions on their faces, and Coach Brown held the tactical board but didn't know how to draw it, and the Cavaliers were helpless in the face of the aggressive defending champions.
In the third quarter, Brand and Vallejo each scored two points to help the Cavaliers open up the offensive situation, and then Mo Jr. made another three-pointer to narrow the gap somewhat.
But the animal brothers continued the feeling of the first half, and soon returned the color, the two teams in the opening of the quarter in the back and forth, the Clippers did not open the score again, but the Cavaliers also struggled to turn over, and the defending champions firmly maintained a lead of about 20 points.
This stalemate came to the middle of the third quarter, Crawford suddenly burst out, came on the court and scored consecutive single-handedly Navarro, and one person cut down six points to suppress the Cavaliers' momentum, and the Clippers regained a 23-point lead at 75:52.
James turned back with a three-pointer to return the color, but his subsequent dunk was actually pressed down by the panda brother, Barnes got the basketball and passed it directly to the fox brother, Ji Guoyi received the ball after a long-distance run, and finally used a tomahawk dunk to help the team take a 24-point lead.
The knights had no choice but to call another timeout, otherwise the game would fall apart completely.
James hit the inside again after a timeout, and this time he finally dunked and scored, but Ji Guoyi misplaced Xiao Mo to easily complete 2+1, and the difference came to 25 points. (To be continued......)
