Chapter 622: The Finished Script

PS: Congratulations to the Chinese Dota 2 team for their good results in TI5, and I hope our team can win the top three and let the foreign teams eat!

After the Clippers tied the Bulls' record of 72 wins, the media naturally did not forget to interview the Zen master next door, and the Bulls dynasty was led by the coach with the largest number of active championship rings. It's a pity that the Zen master didn't give face, and avoided answering the Clippers, but mentioned his own team.

"In these seasons, what the Lakers need is not a record championship."

Phil. Jackson doesn't get in the oil and salt, and it's almost impossible for the media to ask what news out of his mouth.

The same is true for the calm and witty Panda brother, who on April 11 at home against the Warriors, who are not too strong.

Ji Guoqiu said before the game: "What the Clippers need most is also the championship, if the championship is fundamental, then any record is the pearl to decorate, or the cherry on the cake." Of course, it is good to have a record, and it is beneficial for guys like Dead Fox to have bragging capital after retirement. But what if there is no championship? ”

Brother Panda himself gave the answer, pun intended: "Without a championship, then it's nothing." ”

The reporters couldn't help but shudder, Ji Guoqiu's words were definitely pointed, especially when heard by some people, it was impossible not to be affected.

That man, of course, is poor LeBron. James, the Cavaliers have a brilliant record in recent seasons, this "emperor one-man team" has won the regular season championship, and has been in the top three in the league for several seasons, 23vs24. It has been circulated as a script for many years.

But in Cleveland. James' most unforgettable experience was: being bloodied by a spur. Destroyed by the Pistons and killed by the Celts......

There are many similar cases, such as the Rockets, who are most familiar to Chinese fans, whose 22-game winning streak in the 07-08 season can rank third in history, second only to the invincible Clippers this season, and the Lakers who won 33 consecutive games in the 71/72 season. It's just that the Rockets, who won 22 in a row in the 07-08 season, ended up being swept away in the playoffs after only one lap, and no one thought they were successful that season.

If you stand at this point of view. The number one task in front of the Clippers is really not "72 wins beyond the Bulls", but the championship and the achievement of the twin brothers' three consecutive championships.

If a team wins the championship, even if it does not have 72 wins, it is still considered a complete merit; On the contrary, if you break the Bulls' record and fail to win the championship, you will only add a joke: "Look, these ridiculous guys, they can't win so much in the regular season!" ”

Ji Guoyi scored 45 points in the last game. His points per game average improved in the last few games, and the scoring title has long been secured. Now his opponent is no longer poor Durant, but his own teammate, the panda who doesn't seem interested in competing with him for MVP.

Of course, Ji Guoqiu knew what he was thinking, but he still played step by step, and he would not hesitate at all when he had a passing opportunity, and he had the intention to kill the fox once.

The Warriors' defensive prowess is at the bottom of the league, they have little defense, and with the fact that they can't make the playoffs and won't be sniping at the Clippers at this time, this game is meaningless for the Warriors.

The Clippers were completely helping Ji Guoqiu score points in the first half, with Ji Guoqiu taking the lead, the other teammates naturally knew what to do, and now the MVP campaign was produced among the three, if Ji Guoqiu took the initiative to get out of the way, then only the fox brother and the gorilla would be left to compete.

In this way, the higher Ji Guoyi's average points per game, the greater the certainty of winning the MVP. This season, he has 34 consecutive wins and 72+ wins on his body, and it is difficult for James to compete with Ji Guoyi, two perverted honors, and it is almost impossible to beat the Red Fox.

At home, Staples fans held high small white flags with the "73" logo and continued to cheer for the home team, while constantly shouting "MVP" and "MVP".

At the end of the first half, the score was 64:56, and both teams played more relaxed, and the defense was very light, as if they were playing a preseason game. The Warriors weren't pulled away, but they still trailed the Clippers by as many as eight points.

Ji Guoqiu got 6 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, Ji Guoqiu 28 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, the fox brother really brushed a good-looking score, it seems that it is not difficult to break 40 in this game, and the average score per game is expected to reach a new level of 33 points after the game.

At halftime, Dead Fox thanked his teammates for their help and euphemistically said, "Let's continue in the second half."

Ji Guo's shamelessness is more than that, he also knows that if he uses too much force, the little warrior is easy to be directly killed, so his waterproof strength on the defensive end can't bear to look at directly, I don't know when he actually practiced the "eye defense method", and he looks very like Maddie when he was sleepy.

In the second half, the Warriors were so waterproof that Ji Guozhi was so waterproof, and the offensive firepower was full of firepower, and they soon hit one after another inside and outside to overtake the score.

Ji Guoqiu couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Second goods, have you forgotten that the 95-96 Bulls pretended to be like you in the finals, and as a result, they were pulled twice in a row and almost capsized in the gutter?" ”

Ji Guoyi looked at the score and found that he was only two points behind, so he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, didn't the bull win the championship in the end?" If we don't play like this, how can we drag the game to the last quarter, and I still want to get 50+. ”

"You can't play like this, hurry up and pull the difference to more than five points, if you don't come, I'll play by myself."

"Okay, what I listen to you is, I really don't know why you are so cautious, we are two champions, you should have a little bit of championship confidence?"

Ji Guozhi was very reluctant, the third quarter was not even halfway through, this was going to be played for real, and the fourth quarter was garbage time.

But soon, the swollen dead fox could only awkwardly put his previous thoughts aside and concentrate on the game.

This season, the Warriors have killed the Cavaliers and Lakers, proving that the potential of this team should not be underestimated, and only the Clippers and Spurs in the league can always suppress the Warriors with absolute defensive superiority. But today, Ji Guoshi released water. The rest of the Clippers players naturally relaxed. It is this relaxation. The Clippers completely unleashed the offensive firepower of the Warriors, and once the two young men went crazy, it was not easy to tie them up again.

In the third quarter, Curry's three-point shot was as hot as yesterday's Ji Guosha, shooting 5 of 7 in a single quarter, which blew the Clippers into a hole. On the other side, Ellis's breakthrough is also in a state of madness, and he can score without looking at the basket. Losing balance can still score, and all kinds of fancy goals make the panda's face blacken.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 90:94, and the Warriors scored 38 points in the third quarter, surpassing the Clippers by 4 points.

"It's okay, it's okay, we've got the fourth quarter."

Ji Guoyi just wanted to open his mouth to comfort his teammates, but when he saw the panda's unkind gaze, he hurriedly bowed his head and said nothing.

"It's okay, we're going to kill them in the fourth quarter!"

Ji Guoqiu then said loudly, in fact, it was a meaning. But when these words came out of his mouth, the effect was much greater than that of a dead fox. The players of the second echelon of the Clippers roared a few times when they heard this, and they were ready to go up and take out the Warriors.

Dunleavy Sr. used a lot of rotation in April, and Garcia, who has a player option on next year's contract, has been excellent this month.

This season, Uncle Jia is not reused in the Clippers, averaging only 15 minutes of playing time per game, nearly double that of last season, and his personal count has dropped significantly. If you can't take advantage of the last month to show your state, I'm afraid that the next contract will not go up but down.

In addition to Garcia, there is also veteran Hill, who signed a two-year contract last summer and can jump out the following year.

Grant. Hill played an average of 28 minutes per game this season, with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 49% from the field and 42% from three-point range.

The Clippers fielded in the fourth quarter: Dragic, Crawford, Garcia, Joel. The lineup of Anthony and Jordan Jr.

The lineup outpaced the Warriors' bench lineup in terms of dynamism, with Garcia hitting a three-pointer and then cutting to the basket for a dunk within two minutes. Crawford then dribbled behind him and shook off his opponent to hit a difficult shot, and the score was quickly overtaken by the Clippers.

"Okay, awesome!"

Ji Guoyi waved his towel a few times off the field, glad that his team's substitutes were supplied.

The Clippers' bench lineup did save Ji Guosha, Curry and Ellis played the second half, they had overtaken the score in the third quarter, but they didn't expect to be pulled back by the Clippers' bench lineup in the fourth quarter.

It wasn't until the last six minutes that Dunleavy Sr. replaced these excellent benches and replaced them with a main force, and the score also came to 106:105, and the Clippers took a one-point lead.

After Ji Guosha returned to the game, he finally stopped making waves, and went to defend honestly, and winning this game was the most important thing.

The biggest contribution of the Clippers' bench is not to overtake the score, but to consume the body of the Warriors' main players. After the Clippers' main team came on the court, most of the Warriors' players had exhausted their bodies, and in the face of the Clippers' main lineup's leaky defense, the Warriors were finally defeated, failing to score for three consecutive minutes, and were attacked by the Clippers to widen the score gap.

Ji Guoyi still took on the task of the main scorer in this wave of offensives, and his personal score increased to 46 points, and he had a chance to get 50+ today.

In the final three minutes of the game, the score became 115-105, and the Clippers led by 10 points, which was the end of the game completely.

Old Dunleavy thought about it, and seeing that Ji Guoyi's spirit was undiminished, he still chose to let him continue to score points on the field, and then replace him when he reached a 50+.

Ji Guoyi was on the ground for 2 minutes and 02 seconds, forced a shot outside the three-point line, and used his height advantage to hit a nearly three-pointer, increasing his personal score to 49 points, only 1 point away from the third 50+ this season and the fifth 50+ in his career.

This point didn't keep him waiting long, the Warriors players were depleted, and it was very easy for the Clippers to score. In the first minute and 15 seconds, Ji Guoqiu passed a delicate ground-hitting pass, assisted Ji Guoqiu to cut into the basket, made a foul, and easily turned his personal score into 51 points after hitting both free throws.

3 times 50+ in a season, 1 time 60+, this report card added a heavy stroke to Ji Guosha's competition for MVP, and the fox brother walked off the court with his hands raised in the "MVP" cheers of the Clippers fans, next to the panda brother who got a triple-double again.

Ji Guoqiu had 15 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 51 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

After this game, the Clippers have only two games left in the season, against the Mavericks and Cavaliers.

It's just that in these two games, it doesn't matter whether the Clippers win or lose, because they have broken the Chicago Bulls' record of 72 wins in the 1995-1996 season, and the Clippers now have a record of 73-7, which has become the strongest team in NBA history.

After the game, Michael. Jordan immediately released an article congratulating the Clippers for setting a new record on the Bobcat official website for the first time, expressing his generosity. NBA media from all walks of life will send the reports that have been prepared for a long time to the printing press and official website as soon as possible. The next day, it is believed that the headlines of all the media will be the words "73 wins".

On April 12, the global media really rushed to pay attention to the Clippers' 73 wins, and the New York Times headline - "Clippers miracle, rely on strength, rely on script." ”

Da, who hasn't troubled the two brothers for a long time. Sabi wrote in the New York Times report: This is a script that has been arranged for a long time, but it does not mean that it can be executed accurately.

On April 1, the Thunder and Celtics fought double overtime, and the "unfair punishment" suffered by the Thunder, who lost by the last 1 point, is not that Durant's stunner was slapped in the face, but that Durant, who has gradually become a new generation of stars, suffered such an obvious violation, but the referee was able to bear it and ignore it, which can only show that his influence is still a little bit less. James, what about the referees?

As long as you can confirm that the basketball is round, you must believe that if it is the twin brother who is hit in the face, it is James, and the referee's whistle will definitely sound. More likely, the referee will run at full speed and blow a long whistle with all his might......

The reason is very simple, the twin brothers and James are now the faces of the West and East Divisions, and their respective teams easily lead the regular season without suspense, changing from the script of "23 vs. 24" to "Animal Wars", which is indeed the most helpful for David. Stern's approach to consolidating and boosting viewership.

The Clippers' script this year is tailor-made for the absolute ability of the twin brothers, and the ability is deeply reflected in this script. Although, Da Van Gundy is always complaining that Warcraft is not as "respected" by the referee as the Animal Brothers, and Barkley has also preached that Jordan, Kobe, James and other lore abilities are related to "the opponent does not dare to have defensive moves at all", but after all, the ability of great players is real, and it is reasonable to save zĂ i, for Durant, Howard and others, the most meaningful thing is to figure out why the most "respected" is not himself.
