On May 17, the Nets traveled to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away.

Three hours later, the Chicago media reported the victory with "Bulls beat the Nets with more shots, and the overall score in the Eastern Conference Finals was 2-1".

"The day before yesterday we had a few good balls and we were able to take a 3-0 lead." Kobe Bryant was still haunted by the loss in Game 2, and when he said these words after Game 3, he somewhat looked down on the Nets. Perhaps he also felt that his words were too arrogant, and Bryant went on to say: "Of course, if we had conceded a few goals in the first two games, they would have won those two games. ”

As Kobe Bryant said, in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, the two sides were inseparable, and the victory or defeat hung in the balance. One shot at a critical moment can win the game, and a missed shot at a critical moment can be lost. As a result, the Nets also believe they can beat the Bulls in both games.

The Bulls narrowly defeated the Nets 99-95 today, and the difference between the two teams was within five points, and the third lady contest was not as easy as the Chicago media reported in terms of game process and score. In the three games of the Eastern Conference Finals, both teams kept the suspense until the last minute.

Kobe Bryant scored 33 points in the third game, shooting 10 of 19 from the field and 9 of 12 from the free throw line, and the Bulls also sounded the cry of "MVP" at home!

After the game, the Nets expressed their dissatisfaction with the free throws, and Ji Guoqiu only got 5 free throws in the whole game, less than half of Kobe's, considering that the panda made a full 13 shots under the basket today, he obviously shouldn't have only gotten such free throws.

Ji Guoqiu scored 23 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks today, and his personal data is still excellent, but it is difficult for him to get a chance to stand on the free throw line today, and Noah and Boozer used rude defense to make Panda Brother 22 and shoot 10, which is far below his average shooting rate.

"The free throws dictated today's game." Ji Guoqiu deliberately made his words ambiguous after the game. It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with today's decision, the referee did not blow the penalty for many fouls by the Bulls, otherwise he would not think that the Nets would lose the game.

The Zen master was also very dissatisfied, the gap between the two teams was only four points in the end, if Ji Guoqiu's free throws were normal. Needless to say, as long as he makes 10 free throws in the playoffs this year, the Nets won't lose the game.

Ji Guoyi got the news of the panda's loss in Los Angeles, and he was a little gloating in his heart.

He knows best that the panda's hands were red today, and the referee didn't award a penalty, and the home whistle was really good.

However, just one day later......

"Nickname Wai ......"

"The Animal Brothers are once again wiped out!"

"The Maverick Twin Towers finished exploding the fox shark combination, and the fox woke up alone and his teammates all sleepwalked!"

May 18th. After the third battle between the Clippers and the Mavericks, Ji Guoyi soon couldn't laugh.

"The Clippers lost by 20 points away from home, the German tank won 30+, and the little giant rebounded 16 rebounds!"

"The Clippers made 8 of 25 three-pointers and lost to the Sino-German coalition away."

"The little fox scored 38 points and was difficult to savior, and the marksman was invisible again."

These reports are enough to illustrate what happened to the Clippers in Dallas, and unlike the Nets, who fought with the Bulls until the last minute in every game, the Clippers lost much cleanly. A 20+ fiasco made many people start laughing at the dead fox again.

The Animal Brothers both suffered losses on the road, and the two 1-2 scores made the situation worse for the Clippers and Nets. At the moment, it seems likely that both animals will be eliminated in the division finals.

American fans have seen too much of the animal brothers' rampant dominance in the past three years, especially last season, when the Clippers won 74 games and 35 consecutive wins...... All sorts of records and accolades have been won by two damn guys, and now it's finally time to end the red domination of these two animals, and American fans say it's "very happy". They all clapped their hands!

Ji Guoyi said after the game that it was no big deal to lose one game away from home, and they were capable of taking the Mavericks in the fourth game.

"Don't worry about losing away, this series isn't over yet, we have more games to play." Ji Guozhi has always been so hard-mouthed, he said, "The current situation is a challenge for us, 1:2 has cost us the home advantage, but I don't think it will affect our psychology, after all, we have survived the desperate situation of falling behind 0:3, what else can we not beat?" ”

Compared with Ji Guoqiu's optimism, Ji Guoqiu's mood is heavier, and the giant panda admitted that the Nets are in a difficult situation now, "Now the time has come when we have to win, you know, it's a difficult situation, we have to find a way to win, win on the road." At the same time, he also said, "Compared to the first two games, our defensive pace was a little slower, I think the Bulls did a good job of moving the ball from the strong side to the weak side, Kobe Bryant and Rose kept moving the ball, constantly mobilizing our defense, and our defensive pace was a little slower, they would put the ball in the basket." ”

On May 19, the Nets continued on the road and against the Chicago Bulls.

Nets head coach Phil. "I don't think we were able to put enough defensive pressure on the Bulls in Game 3, and normally when we get 95 points on 50 percent shooting, we win, but in yesterday's game, our defense cost us the game," Jackson said before the game. We have to win away from home now and we'll do that. ”

Today is not only the Nets' crucial fourth game, but also the day of the second generation of the Cat Fox tablet to be released.

This time, only two versions of the Maohu tablet will be released, one is the Maofox Tablet 2 and the other is the Maofox Tablet 2Plus, the former is a cost-effective model of 299 US dollars, and the latter is a high-end model of 499 US dollars, which is used to fight against the ipad2 left by Jobs, which has been hung up.

Ji Guoqiu announced before the game that he would send a total of 50,000 Maohu tablets to 100 orphanages around the world2.

He also generously donated 1,000 home tickets for the fifth game of the Battle of Kings for New Jersey public school children, allowing them to watch the Nets' home playoff game the whole way. Not only that, but he himself would meet with the children after the competition and encourage them to overcome difficulties in their studies and life. In addition to giving away tickets, Ji Guoqiu also signed a contract with the children, which was based on who would make the most progress in school. Once approved by the school, they will meet and celebrate with him individually after the home game.

This naked method of earning character for himself really made the Pandas' character explode in the game, hitting three three-pointers from the outside in the first quarter, leading the Nets to a one-point lead in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ji Guoqiu scored a dunk under the basket. Then Matthews and Korver hit back-to-back three-pointers to give the Nets a 12-point lead over the Bulls at 39-27.

The Nets set the center of gravity of the defensive line near the free throw line today, and put on a rare 212 defensive formation, which can be changed to a three-two formation and a two-three formation at any time according to the situation on the court, and at the same time adopt the strategy of two-player pinch by the nearest player to minimize the breakthrough lethality of Kobe and Rose.

Ji Guoqiu is the most important link on the defensive end of the Nets, he stands near the free throw line, this position is not something ordinary people can stand, and he has to participate in the defense of all the Bulls' offenses launched from the middle. And also play the role of an arrow on the offensive end.

Today, the giant panda has to carry two heavy burdens, attacking and defending with both hands, and both hands must be hard.

The Zen master is also worried about playing Brother Panda to death directly, so today's offensive arrangement is mostly launched from the outside, and Ji Guoqiu rarely enters the low post to attack, either shooting three points or mid-range, which can reduce some of his burden on the offensive end.

Ji Guoqiu scored 14 points in the first quarter and another 13 points in the second quarter. In the first half, Brother Panda exploded in character on the outside, shooting 8 of 11. With 27 points and six rebounds, the Nets ended the first half with a 59-45 lead, leading the Bulls by 14 points.

In the second half, the Bulls decisively changed formations on the defensive end and started the third quarter with a wave of 7-0 to close the gap.

Nash took over the offensive banner in the second half. used Ji Guoqiu's cover to score 6 points in a row, pulling the difference back to 13 points.

In the last 3 minutes of this quarter, Kobe Bryant began to go berserk, first hitting a three-point shot on the outside, and then hitting Ji Guoqiu on the inside, two plus one. The Bulls chased the score to 75-82.

At the critical moment, Bledsoe, who had only scored 10 points in three consecutive games, finally broke out once, and the blood cloth first returned three points, then broke through Rose and caused a foul, and after two free throws and two hits, the Nets extended the gap to 12 points again. After Rose returned a three-pointer, Korver hit the final shot of the quarter to give the Nets a 10-point lead heading into the final quarter with a 90-80 lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Nets blossomed more as soon as they came up, Matthews and Korver each hit three-pointers, Bledsoe hit a three-pointer, and the Nets gave the Bulls a fatal blow in the bench period, a wave of 10:2 turned the score into 100:82, and the difference widened to 18 points in a blink of an eye.

In this case, any team has no problem, the advantage of the Nets over the Bulls is the bench lineup, although the Chicago people's bench is not bad, but in terms of the number of players, the Nets and Clippers are the two strongest teams in the East and West, as long as their second-tier players can break out in rotation time, they have a good chance of playing a wave to take away the opponent.

Two minutes before the end, Ji Guoqiu scored in a row in the low post, and the Nets led the Bulls by 14 points at 110:96, and the Chicagoans were gone.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Bulls 116-103 to tie the overall score at 2-2, and the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain will decide the fate of both teams.

This year's finals in the East and West were very intense, and the victory or defeat was only a line.

The Pandas in the East have managed to move back to one city on the road, and they have now regained home-court advantage, and if the Nets can hold on to their home court, they will have the entire series and beat the Bulls to advance to the Finals.

Of course, the reverse is also true, and the importance of this best-of-7 series, the fifth matchup, is self-evident.

The next day, the Clippers will also play the Dallas Mavericks on the road, and if the Fox brother can follow the example of the Panda brother in the east to win one back on the road, the Clippers will also regain the initiative in the series. But once you miss again, although the chances of falling behind 1:3 and then turning the game back are a little greater than falling behind 0:3, no one will think that the Clippers still have such good luck.
