Chapter 291: Asking for Hardship
The Clippers attacked, Thomas was beaten twice in a row by Bynum, and he was a little embarrassed and angry, and he caught the ball on the offensive end and shot a three-pointer......
Old Dunleavy's face turned black and he was about to roar, but the bastard's blind ** throw was actually hit!
Clippers fans don't know whether to cheer or boo him, this kind of shooting is currently only Ji Guoyi and this big brush in the Clippers team who dare to shoot like this. (However, the little fox is an all-star, and throwing a few at a game is regarded as a star privilege.) But you, a big brush who can only snatch people's heads and give away people's heads, are you embarrassed to play like this, is the truth that you didn't give away people's heads?
"Huh!" It was another hollow sound of basketball entering the net, this time it was not Thomas who threw it blindly, but Kobe Bryant, who was the best at swinging on the court.
Clippers fans reacted immediately, this man is still on the court!
At 10:05, the score was 90:86, and Kobe Bryant made a wave shot this time to help the Lakers narrow the score gap to 4 points.
The elder Dunleavy called a timeout, and then replaced all the main forces in one go, and in any case, Thomas and his ilk were determined not to stay on the field at this time.
After Ji Guoqiu came on the court, he did not block and dismantle with Billups, but ran back on the bottom line like Ji Guoqiu usually does.
Billups and Paul. Davis played a block and pick-and-roll, and Mr. Key broke through and distributed the ball to Ji Guoqiu, who ran out of space, and the latter made a jumper within one meter of the three-point line to score his 17th point.
The Clippers' lead was gradually eroded under Kobe's continuous onslaught, and they urgently needed to score to stabilize the situation.
Bynum singled Davis on the offensive end, and Anzhu, who turned into a vegetable maniac, scored his third goal in the fourth quarter, and this guy actually scored six points in a short period of time in the final quarter. Now Clippers fans finally know. Ji Guo's shame is not as conspicuous as his brother. But with him on the side, Bynum had never been so aggressive in his first four games, and Gasol and Odom didn't pick up as many points as they did today.
The game entered the last five minutes, 4 minutes and 50 seconds, the score was 100:96, Kobe Bryant broke through and faced a double defense, and a zero-angle shot hollowed into the net, once again narrowing the score to less than five points.
Phil. Jackson quickly called a timeout. Kobe Bryant didn't rest in the second half, and the Zen master used a timeout every once in a while, not to set up tactics, but to allow Kobe to take the opportunity to recover some body.
Ji Guoqiu 21 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 blocks, Billups 23 points and 4 assists, Artest 17 points and 3 rebounds, Mobley 12 points, Thomas 11 points, Posey 7 points, Garcia 4 points. Amir. Johnson 2 points.
Bryant had 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and Gasol had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Odom had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Bynum had 8 points and 4 rebounds, Wharton had 8 points, Vujacic had 7 points, Radmanovic had 7 points, Fisher had 5 points and Famar had 2 points.
Jeff. "One of the characteristics of the Lakers is that they shoot a lot of threes and they often make free throws, and that's why they're so efficient offensive," Van Gundy said during a timeout. ”
Magic laughed: "Yes, I like the balance between inside and outside, when you have a good outside shooter, of course you have to shoot more threes, but at the same time, you have to make sure that you have the strength to attack the basket inside and try to get to the free throw line, although there are not many free throws today, but the three-point shooting percentage is good." ”
"Billups and Panda have both scored 20+ points today, Artest also scored 17 points, and the Clippers have shown the potential of this team in a game without fox, they are really strong, and with Kobe Bryant on fire, they still maintain a slight lead so far."
"I don't think they could have continued to hold on, if it weren't for the referees who kept targeting Kobe Bryant and didn't give Peter Pan a chance to make free throws, the Lakers would have overtaken the score. But even so, the Clippers are now at their limit, and Bryant just needs to sit down and drink some Gatorade and then return to the court to lead the team to the lead. ”
Dunleavy Sr. also felt that his disciples could stalemate with the Lakers for three and a half quarters, which was about to exceed their limits, and the Lakers' defense seemed more and more threatening to him, and it became more and more difficult for them to score. If the Fox brother is on the court at this time, they can continue to fight against the Lakers by relying on Billups and Ji Guoyi. However, now there is only one giant panda, he is not good at fighting people, and he can score so many points today, old Dunleavy is a fluke or a fluke. As soon as Ji Guoqiu's scoring momentum slowed down in the fourth quarter, the Clippers were about to be unable to withstand Kobe's offensive.
The game restarted, and the Clippers knew that this defense was very crucial for them, and if they couldn't prevent Kobe Bryant's attack, the difference would be narrowed to less than 2 points, and a mere 2 points would not be considered a lead at all.
Gasol used himself as bait on the offensive end, pulling Ji Guoqiu to the far end.
Kobe Bryant and Bynum blocked and dismantled this time, the Lakers avoided the direction of Ji Guoqiu's defense, Kobe, Odom, and Bynum formed a triangle, and finally Kobe broke through the attraction bag and assisted Odom to hit the basket, Artest had to foul the lama to prevent him from scoring directly.
The Lakers got two free throws this time, Odom stood at the free throw line and took a few deep breaths, and his performance in this round of the series has been bad, and even the free throw shooting rate has dropped to 60%. These two key free throws made the lama nervous, for fear of missing the free throws and becoming the team's sinner.
In fact, he is already a sinner of the team, whether he can hit this goal or not, as long as the Lakers lose in the end, he has to carry this pot!
Odom said he was under too much pressure and hit one of the last two free throws, which was not a good result, but at least it was better than missing two free throws.
The score was 100-97, and the Clippers attacked.
Fisher was a little more away from Loops on the defensive end, and this defensive distance seemed to mean to let him shoot threes for a player like Billups.
Lao Yu is very cunning, he has a high basketball IQ, and the game is now at a critical moment, and every offense is extremely important. The confrontation between strong teams is often based on this time period, which side is more efficient, which side can have role players step up and play extraordinarily, which side has better defense, and which side can control turnovers and rebounds better...... It is precisely because every ball and every link is important that Billups did not dare to shoot lightly at this time, and the distance that the old fish gave to Billups just made the latter in a dilemma, wanting to shoot but not daring to throw, and not throwing seemed to be hesitant.
Ji Guoqiu came up to cover, Billups still chose to dribble and break through, the Lakers blocked the Clippers this time, Billups and Ji Guoqiu were blocked in the middle by Lakers players, and the two did not get a chance to shoot.
Artest received the ball from Billups, held the ball and continued to rush into the inside to attack.
Odom's close defense, plus Gasol who returned to the basket, Artest missed the final layup under the defense of two Lakers players.
"Mine!" Ji Guoqiu rushed to the basket and competed for rebounds with Kobe!
"Be careful, the boss is out of the elbow, at three o'clock, quickly turn the right elbow horizontally and turn it 45 degrees to the right!" Ji Guoyi saw Kobe's small movements after jumping, and immediately reminded the giant panda with telepathy.
Ji Guoqiu got the hint and hurriedly put the iron elbow up to protect himself, and Kobe Bryant, who was beside him, found that it was dark in front of him, and it seemed that a familiar object flew over, and he secretly screamed in his heart!
"Ahh Kobe Bryant screamed, covered his eyes and fell headlong.
Ji Guoqiu was reminded by his younger brother, according to the direction pointed by Ji Guoqiu, he raised his elbow in time in the air to defend himself, and successfully counterattacked with the "Los Angeles Elbow" taught by the fox brother, this elbow hit Kobe Bryant's eyebrow bone firmly, and his iron elbow was still a little painful at this time, which was injured by Kobe's shock.
The referee didn't blow the whistle, Ji Guoqiu was slightly stunned after landing, and then reacted, immediately jumped again, and scored two points with a quick slam dunk.
The Lakers players were a little dumbfounded at this time, seeing Kobe Bryant covering his eyes and rolling on the floor screaming, they thought that Ji Guoqiu would be blown foul this time. But unexpectedly, the referee ignored it, and it wasn't until Ji Guoqiu dunked the basketball that the referee suspended the game.
"This ...... Why don't you for a foul? Ji Guoqiu was still a little puzzled.
"yes, why don't you blow your foul, I'll hurt Kobe Bryant for this elbow." Ji Guoyan also said in his heart, but his tone was completely naked schadenfreude.
Van Gundy shook his head: "Kobe Bryant was irrational this time, and the referee didn't blow him for a foul, but we can see through the replay that Kobe Bryant elbowed Brother Panda this time, but he hit the opponent's iron elbow." ”
Okay...... In Van Gundy's eyes, this is Kobe Bryant's own collision with the giant panda's iron elbow, and the boss is not suffering, and he has no SM hobby.
Magic, as a high-level Lakers executive, did not refute Fan Bald's cheating remarks at this time, because through the replay of the game, it seemed that Kobe Bryant was the first to elbow behind him, but he was hit by Ji Guoqiu's protective actions, and the giant panda didn't turn back at all, okay? This is Peter Pan's own suffering, everyone knows that this giant panda is different from his brother, he has never taken the initiative to hurt people, if it weren't for his seniority this season, Brother Panda almost won the best "sportsmanship award", so even the magic thinks that Kobe deserves it, and it is too stupid to elbow at such a critical moment.
No one on the Lakers court came up to trouble Brother Panda, which was replaced by Ji Guosha, and it is estimated that he would have been scolded as an "executioner" by someone pointing his nose at him.
Kobe Bryant was lying on the ground, there was a lot of blood on the floor, the camera was focused on Peter Pan, and he could see that Ji Guoqiu opened a big hole at his eyebrows, and the wound was so big that it looked even stricter than the one he was beaten by Ji Guoqi in the regular season, and the black hand of the panda can be seen, this guy will see blood if he doesn't make a move!
The game was suspended, and the blood stains on the floor had to be cleaned up before the game could resume, Kobe Bryant saw that the referee did not punish Ji Guoqiu for a foul, and his face turned red with anger, much like rushing over and knocking over the hateful panda with an elbow, and then killing the bastard referee with an elbow by the way! But he knew that if he wanted to win now, he must not have an affair with the referee.
Kobe Bryant quickly came to the sidelines with full of anger, and when he saw that the point difference had become 5 points again, he took the initiative to ask the team doctor to stitch on the sidelines, and quickly! (To be continued......) R527
