A minute and a half before the end of the game, Ji Guosha was ejected from the game for maliciously elbowing the French domestic line Turyaf. {

With nine points trailing and little time left in the game, the Clippers were unable to overtake the score and lost their second home court.

The final score was 92:98, and the difference between the two teams was not large, but in the final Clippers counterattack stage, the resilience of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers players was commendable. This loss also reminded the Clippers that if they want to win against their opponents, then don't fall behind by too many points, always count on turning defeat into victory, and the biggest possibility is that there is no victory.

Ji Guoqiu 16 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyi 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, Artest 12 points and 5 rebounds, Billups 27 points and 4 assists, Mobley 6 points, Posey 5 points.

Kobe Bryant had 24 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Gasol 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Odom 10 points and 5 rebounds, Bynum 8 points and 5 rebounds, Radmanovic 10 points, Fisher 7 points, Famar 7 points, and Wharton 5 points.

The Clippers lost this home game throughout the playoffs this year, but it was the last game they deserved to lose. The Clippers not only lost the fourth game, but their main power forward, the team's first firepower point, and one of the inner duo, Ji Guoyi, has accumulated 7 technical fouls in this game, and in the next game, according to league regulations, the fox brother will be automatically suspended for one game.

Moreover, Ji Guoyi's malicious elbow attack on Turiaf this time, the league is likely to chase the penalty afterwards, if Ji Guozhi is punished with an additional ban, it will be a disaster for the Clippers!

Kobe Bryant's table today deserves to be the core of the Lakers, with 24 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on 10-of-20 shooting in the game. Let the fans once again see what the level of MVP is. In particular, he broke through the Clippers' heavy defense on several occasions. It's shocking.

In addition to Kobe Bryant is still strong, the core of the Lakers' interior line, Paul. Gasol's excellent play was also the key to the win. In the third game, Gasol only scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 4-of-15 shooting. But today, Gasol had 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and the world champion showed the style of the Spanish core on the road.

After the game, Bryant said in the post-game press conference: "We're back. They beat us by 39 points in the previous game, but that won't have an impact on our next games. We're going to get back on the pitch and prove we deserve the championship. ”

At the post-game press conference, there was also an interesting link, everyone knows that not long ago, a gossip website in the United States published on the front page, Kobe Bryant and Lakers former cheerleader Vanessa. Corey has a super-friendly relationship. Before the game, Bryant hired a lawyer to formally sue the gossip site, arguing that their false reporting had tarnished his image.

Kobe Bryant said in an interview: "My only, forever favorite is Vanessa. Bryant alone".

Vanessa expressed her infinite trust in Kobe Bryant in this peachy scandal crisis. The fourth game is a crucial battle. In addition to leading the children to watch the games on the road, she also helped Bryant lash out at the site's reporters on the sidelines. And in the players' tunnel in Staples, he shouted to the gossip website reporter who first reported the news: "Laura (gossip reporter's name), **you, **you bitch, you don't have the same journalist as a reporter." You, bitch! ”

Ji Guosha refused to mention his foul after the game, the little fox was very uncooperative, and he was also a dead duck for his team to lose, he told reporters: "Kobe and Gasol are not OK combinations, and now they are not 2:0, but 2:2, occasionally set off a storm and waves, and they can't blow down the big ship of the Clippers, we are stronger than the Titanic, and we can't sink if we hit an iceberg." ”

Dead Fox's words made the reporters below feel painful, this guy can really talk about it, and he is even more shameless.

Ji Guoyi saw the painful expressions of the reporters, and continued: "There is a strange phenomenon in the league this season, the strong teams actually rely on the home stadium to eat, and they will not win if they leave the home stadium. Hehe, but we went the other way, and the Clippers had the most away wins of any playoff team in the league. So, what does this mean? This shows that we are the really strong team! Ji Guoyi's words made the reporters want to turn around and leave, I have never seen such an arrogant guy who loses, but the dead fox is unaware of this, and continues to blow the conch to a group of reporters: "The Lakers have the league's MVP Kobe Bryant and the most terrifying coach Phil. Jackson, World Champion Paul. Gasol, this qiē seems to be bad for us, but it's not the end for the Clippers, Lakers fans don't rejoice too soon, and which team can have smooth sailing on the road to winning the championship? ”

The reporters in the audience looked at the gushing dead fox and felt that Ji Guozhi really had the talent to be a reporter, and they didn't seem to say anything bad about the clippers? How did it get to his mouth like the whole world bullied the Clippers, etc...... It seems that this fox uncle just broke the bridge of Turiaf's nose, and the Frenchman was carried out directly after that foul, and it is estimated that the season reimbursement is not running, this guy is so ruthless, he still seems to have been wronged, can this Nima still have a face?

Not to mention how thick-skinned the Dead Fox was, he won the fourth crucial game, but Lakers fans still expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Odom the next day.

Lakers fans have hyped up their big three before the playoffs, but except for Kobe, the other two giants are in good shape and one bad, the main power forward Odom bears the brunt, he is the first target of fans, Lama's state in the first two rounds of the playoffs is like a roller coaster, Lakers fans really doubt whether he still has the ability to play at a high level for two consecutive games.

But in the third round, the Western Conference Finals, Odom couldn't even do a good game and a bad game, his form continued to be sluggish, and in the past four games, his scores were 12, 10, 8, and 10, which seemed to be a cancer in the Lakers' playoffs. Odom's poor feel made him squander seemingly simple layups again and again, which also directly led to a decline in his self-confidence, and even the free throws were a big failure, and it seemed that he couldn't show everyone a little better.

The third game. The Lakers had their biggest derby defeat. Odom's watch that day was infuriating. He only handed over a pitiful number of 8 points and 4 rebounds, and many Lakers fans are still comforting themselves, maybe he will bottom out in Game 4 and break out again?

The question mark was used too correctly, and Odom continued to stay at the bottom today, without the idea of climbing up for a day, shooting 4-of-12 from the field and making 2-of-6 free throws from the free-throw line. He had only 10 points and five rebounds. As the team's three leaders, such a low efficiency on the offensive end, coupled with the fact that no one could dunk the basketball in the fourth quarter, reminds people of the former champion Lang Kuamei. Brown.

The Lakers were chased by the Clippers in the fourth quarter to only two points, because Odom missed two key unguarded shots, and all Lakers fans voted Odom as the worst Lakers player in the game after the game.

The Los Angeles Times wrote the next day: "Odom's offense has become a wasted opportunity, and if he continues to slump like this, it will make the Clippers dare to let go of Kobe Bryant." As the team's third-in-command, he handed over such an ugly report card, no wonder Lian Phil. Jackson couldn't take it anymore and simply pressed Odom to the bench in the fourth quarter for the final effort. ”

Old Dunleavy secretly took a pen and wrote down this paragraph. In Game 5, they can let go of Odom's bag against Kobe. Anyway, the second cargo can't even put in the empty space.

After the Clippers lost the game, Dunleavy Sr. was also studying the two lost games with the coaching staff, how did the Lakers beat them? To be honest, the Clippers' defense was good enough, but it still couldn't defend the Lakers, which led the Clippers' coaching staff to spend the night studying game footage after Game 4 in the hope of finding a solution to the problem.

However, one thing is for sure, the Lakers shared the ball almost perfectly in Game 4 and achieved more blossoming on offense. In the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers scored 98 points, a total of 4 players averaged double-doubles per game, and 7 players averaged no less than 7 points per game, making the Clippers' joint defense take care of one or the other.

The key to the Lakers' sharing of the ball is space, movement and timing. Bryant, Lamar. Odom, Paul. Gasol, Valadimi. Radmanovic and Derek. Fisher formed a unit, and although the Clippers chose to rely on Kobe Bryant most of the time, and they used the Fox brother to defend Kobe Bryant in Game 3, the Lakers did not rely too much on Kobe's singles in Game 4 after the heavy loss in Game 3, but tried to get everyone into the offense.

Dunleavy Sr. watched as the Lakers attacked in Game 4: Odom passed the ball to Gasol in the low post on the right, and Rademanovic moved from the top of the arc to the free-throw line to provide a cover for Kobe, who used Rademanovich's cover to move from the left wing to Gasol's right wing.

Kobe's running drew the attention of the Clippers' defense, Odom made a back cover for Rademanovic, Rademanovic got rid of the defender, Gasol immediately split the ball, and Rademanovic received the ball and hit it. In this offense, Bryant didn't touch the ball at all, but the cooperation of four players easily tore apart the Clippers' defense.

"How can the Lakers' style of play be so similar to us?" Old Dunleavy looked at it and felt that the Lakers' off-ball running was very similar to them. The twins are one such tactic on the offensive end, with the other running off the ball to attract the defense and then creating easy offensive opportunities for Billups and Artest or even the old cat Mobley.

The elder Dunleavy racked his brains to study the reasons for the team's loss, and of course the key to victory, but there was more than one problem in front of them, Ji Guoyan accumulated seven technical fouls in the next game, and he will be automatically banned for one game, and he will not be able to play in the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain, which makes the Clippers immediately become a little stretched, and the twins are one less, can they still limit the Lakers' interior line?

The Lakers' interior line has not been good in the division finals, and yesterday Gasol was a little warmer, and the Lakers fans were happy, but the Spaniards' 22-point table can only be regarded as a normal performance, which is really not very good. Especially in rebounding, the Clippers still have an absolute advantage. In the fourth game, the Clippers grabbed 48 rebounds, the Lakers only had 36, and the Clippers scored a full ten points more than the Lakers in the second time, but they still lost the game, which can only be attributed to the bad hand of the Clippers players.

But the question arises again, why does it feel bad?

The reason is not so much that the Clippers feel bad, but that the Lakers have strengthened their defense, although the Clippers have not been limited in the number of shots, but the Lakers have done a good job of restricting the Clippers' shooting, so that the Clippers' shooting has been playing iron.

It's reminiscent of the Lakers' "showtime" in the '80s, when a lot of teams had trouble attacking against the Lakers. Even in the Lakers at George. When the offensive play under Mike, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal was in full swing, many overlooked the Lakers' defense.

Dunleavy Sr. finally found out that the Lakers were able to win Game 4 because of their strong defense, not offense, and even Odom, who was terrible on the offensive end, actually defended Artest well many times.

The day before the battle between the Clippers and the Lakers, the Eastern Conference Finals also played Game 4.

The Cavaliers, who were eliminated by the Celtics, have faced the Pistons in the playoffs in the past two seasons. James has a certain understanding of the Pistons, James said that he will also watch the Eastern Conference Finals, he believes that the Pistons' strong ability to play on the road will cause problems for the Celtics: "I think the Pistons are very confident on the road, I even think they play better on the road than at home, they have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for six consecutive years, and their rich experience in the finals will give them a head start at key moments." ”

I don't know if the blessing of the little emperor has a blessing effect, but all the teams that James is openly optimistic about have won in the end, which is completely contrary to the crow's mouth of the magician. This time James said it again, the Pistons defeated the Celtics 94-75 at home, and the overall score of the Eastern Conference Finals was tied 2:2, and the fifth game between the two sides will be played at the Pistons' home court on the 26th.

If the Pistons lose today, they will slide into the abyss of elimination, but Elton. Brand and the Masked Man, Hamilton, stepped forward and refused to let this happen. The game was the best playoff game of the season, as he had 30 points and 18 rebounds to help the Pistons win 94-75 over the Celtics.

Elton. Brand's table allowed the Pistons to find balance, and Hamilton scored 20 points, including 10 in the final quarter. Wallace also had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Prince had 10 points, six rebounds and three blocks.

Boston's Big Three shot awkwardly today, but they had a slight advantage over their opponents in free throws, as well as rookie Al Brown. Thorton's excellent performance still struggled to support almost the entire game. Kevin. Garnett, Paul. Pierce and Ray. Allen missed his first seven shots, and they only shot 11-of-38 in the game, and in the end Garnett and Pierce scored 15 points each, Allen scored 11 points, and rookie Al Al Brown. Thornton scored a game-high 18 points.

Celtic are now back in the familiar 2-2 draw, even though Al Murphy is back to the 2-2 draw. Thornton, a rookie, was able to score 18 points, and the Celtics still lost to the Pistons on the road. Now, Boston is facing the same situation as it faced the Hawks and Cavaliers in the previous two series. (To be continued......) R527
