Chapter 278: Defeat is like a mountain

At the end of the first half, the number of rebounds can be seen in the second quarter of the Lakers, the twin brothers grabbed 10 rebounds in this quarter, of which there are not many frontcourt rebounds, 8 are backcourt rebounds, which shows that the Lakers have been playing iron, otherwise where would the two of them have so many rebounds to grab?

Halftime, Charles. Barkley took the opportunity to black Kobe Bryant, and said unscrupulously with a big mouth: "What is the 'Kobe Rule'? I believe that many fans don't understand, so let's give you a science popularization first, Bryant used his personal watch on the court to complete 'revenge', which is the 'Kobe rule'. Once he is 'wronged' or 'humiliated', the basketball court seems to have become Kobe's best 'refuge'. The 'Kobe Rule' was formed in the 2003-04 season, when Kobe Bryant was riddled with lawsuits, and every time he came back from court, Kobe Bryant would definitely play a personal high-scoring game that night, and use his super personal performance to silence everyone who had an 'opinion' about him! ”

Kenny. Smith continued: "So, before the Lakers played Game 3 with the Clippers, many people realized that Kobe Bryant might be going to score high again. Because in the previous game, Kobe Bryant was greatly humiliated, and the two blocks of the fox brother made Kobe Bryant's self-esteem unbearable. ”

Charles. Barkley became more and more refreshed, and continued: "The Lakers have such a good record this season mainly because of the overall performance of the whole team, and their average of 24.1 assists per game ranks fourth in the league. But when Bryant was no longer the 'selfless leader' in the eyes of his teammates, the rest of the Lakers players were in a mess. In the regular season, Kobe Bryant's occasional wayward may not be so costly, but in the playoffs. One game can decide fate, this is not Kobe Bryant's willful time, losing is not his business alone, the price after the implementation of the 'Kobe Rules' will be borne by the entire Lakers team and all Lakers fans, I think his table today is very selfish. ”

Kenny. Smith didn't look good. Although the two of them are cool in the dark, there will be problems if they continue to be so dark, and they hurriedly interrupted Barkley's words: "But any great player will have all kinds of flaws, I think this is normal, no one is perfect, just like LeBron. James was always invisible when it mattered most. But he ...... "Kenny. Smith realized that something was not quite right as he spoke, it seemed that he had one more superstar, and the two of them were going to be bricked when they went out.

The elder Dunleavy did not criticize Ji Guoyi for changing his tactics without authorization, and the old coach of the Clippers should not have this matter.

After the intermission. In the second half, Kobe Bryant began to consciously distribute the ball to his teammates, but at this time, the other Lakers players were not in shape at all, and they received the boss's ball and shot out of the basket continuously.

In fact, Kobe Bryant may not know that as long as he gives his teammates a few more balls, he may be able to help them get back into shape. But this style of play is not his style at first glance. Peter Pan felt that he played like this, and even if he won, people outside would put all the credit on the Zen master, which made Kobe find it difficult to accept. OK combination period. Even if he wins 40+ games, everyone will give credit to the dead fat man after the game, and the second target of the media is not him, but the Zen master, but he is the hero who is put behind the two, and the edge is completely covered. I was already extremely proud. The guy who can't allow others to steal the limelight becomes more and more paranoid after being pressed by O'Neill for several years. Maybe Kobe Bryant thought about it. If you attack by yourself, open up the situation first, and then pass the ball to your teammates. This is his own style, and his credit will not be erased.

In the second half of the game, Kobe Bryant did just that, but the plot didn't work the way he thought, and the Lakers were still falling behind.

At 10:05 in the third quarter, the Clippers attacked.

Billups broke through after blocking and distributed the basketball to Ji Guoyi, who cut into the basket, and the latter immediately attracted the Lakers' two-man defense, and then divided the ball again.

After the panda brother blocked and dismantled, he stopped in the high position, received a pass from his younger brother, and there was shooting space in front of him.

Gasol had just returned to the penalty area and had to save again.

Ji Guoqiu's shot was just a feint, and he immediately closed the ball and broke through, and the Lakers are now only Odom under the basket.

Odom is embarrassed now, he has to make a quick choice, because Ji Guoyi has just cut into the basket and has not left, and now there are two Clippers players in the Lakers restricted area and one Lakers player of his own, and the lama sees two identical Asian faces, even if he is already familiar with the two, he is a little dazzled for a while.

Ji Guoqiu scored a goal with an easy layup, and Odom finally chose to defend Ji Guoyi, this is his opposing player, anyway, this defense is either to let his brother score or let his younger brother score, of course, it is the best policy to look at his opponent player first.

With a score of 67:45, the Clippers scored this goal, and the difference has reached 22 points, and the Lakers' trailing margin continues to increase.

Clippers fans cheered, they collectively shouted "MVP" to the court, of course this is not shouting Kobe, they are shouting "MVP" slogan to their twins, Clippers fans feel that shouting like this in front of a mortal enemy is simply too cool!

Kobe Bryant's brain heated up even more when he heard the shouts of the Clippers fans, how could he allow the other party to insult himself like this?

Ji Guosha took the opportunity to laugh at Kobe Bryant on the defensive end: "Mr. MVP, do you hear me, they are calling your name." ”

Kobe Bryant's eyes were red, and he broke through with an elbow and swung it at Ji Guoyi......

"Damn, it's so ruthless, it's good that I guarded against this move." Ji Guoyi had long been wary of Kobe's iron elbow, but he was still startled, Kobe's elbow was too ruthless, if he was hit, he would be carried out of the court in minutes.

Ji Guoyan screamed, slid backwards fiercely, and slid on the floor for nearly two meters.

The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, quickly came to Kobe, and showed a "first-degree malicious foul" to Peter Pan! ”

Kobe Bryant lost his mind a little, he didn't even see that Ji Guosha was pretending, he walked aside without saying a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Phil. Jackson's face was also as calm as water at the moment, his expression was neither happy nor sad, and he sat quietly like a monk, not trying to see his psychological state from his facial expressions.

The magician saw Ji Guosha pretending to stand up. I know that if they want to turn the tables today, there is no door, I am afraid that not only is there no hope of turning the tables, but they are likely to charge with a 30-point difference, look at the expressions of the Lakers players on the court, they are expressionless at all. The whole team is like a Zen master, and this game has no to play at all.

Ji Guoyi personally took the penalty, and after hitting two free throws, the score became 69:45, and the ball still belonged to the Clippers.

After the little foxes made this free throw, they wisely stopped provoking Kobe. He knew that if he provoked at this time, he was most likely to be abolished by the boss, and not only could he not provoke in the next game, but he also had to be careful and careful, once Keshen's iron elbow was hit. When the time comes, he will not be pretending to be injured, but really injured.

The Clippers attacked this time, Artest caused a foul under the basket and hit one of two free throws, and the Clippers' lead became 25 points.

At 7 minutes and 30 seconds in the third quarter, the Zen master called a timeout and let Kobe Bryant choose for himself, whether to give up the game and go to rest, or continue to stay on the court?

Kobe Bryant didn't want to be in Phil. Jackson bowed his head in front of him. Stick to the game.

Of course, the Zen master will not force it, he did not replace the main player, and let Kobe Bryant continue to lead the team to play. During this pause, he still only arranged defense, did not mention offense, and let Kobe Bryant play by himself.

Dunleavy Sr. didn't replace the main man either, and unless the team led by 30 points in the third quarter, he would never put the game into garbage time to be on the safe side. Besides, the atmosphere at home today was frenetic. It's not easy for Clippers fans to win the Lakers once, and it's even harder to win once. They had a chance to win by 30 points today and Dunleavy Sr. won't let those fans down. And a big win over the Lakers once also increased his own prestige.

The game restarted, and Kobe Bryant broke through Ji Guoyi on the offensive end and scored a goal under the basket and assisted Gasol to score a goal.

The Clippers' defense has begun to decline, and the players feel that they are so ahead that there is no need to continue playing.

Billups turned around and scored two points on a layup, the Lakers' defensive formation has also become very loose after falling behind 20, and there are holes everywhere, which shows that most of the Lakers players have no fighting spirit to turn the tables, and the defensive intensity is even lower than that of the Clippers, which is why the Clippers dare to relax.

On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant made a strong three-pointer from the outside and made a long-range three-pointer.

Ji Guoyi's defense has always been two steps away from Kobe, and with his height and arm span advantage, he can also have a certain impact on Kobe Bryant at this distance. But after all, it's a two-step distance, and the impact won't be too high, and if Kobe Bryant's own hand is good, this impact won't be of much use to him. However, when I thought that Ji Guoyi could have such an effect with one person, the defensive pressure faced by the other players of the Lakers was great, even if Kobe Bryant scored 50 points a game, it would be very difficult for the Lakers to win the game, and this kind of defense was the way that the Zen master was more afraid of.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Clippers still blossomed more, and the Lakers still relied on Kobe Bryant to score alone.

Kobe Bryant scored a two-point shot in the last offensive of the third quarter, which was a super difficult shot of drift + back, and Ji Guoyi was * again.

With a score of 94:70, the Lakers ended the third quarter and trailed the Clippers by 24 points.

Ji Guoqiu 11 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyi 22 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, Billups 15 points and 4 assists, Artest 14 points, Posey 8 points, Mobley 8 points, Thomas 6 points, Amir. Johnson had 4 points and Garcia had 3 points.

Bryant had 40 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Gasol 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Odom 8 points and 4 rebounds, Bynum 4 points and 3 rebounds, Radmanovic 3 points, Famar 2 points, Fisher 2 points.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant still didn't plan to let the game go into garbage time early. Jackson replaced the main team at 9 minutes and 10 seconds in the fourth quarter, replaced the bench lineup and Kobe Bryant formed a strange formation, Farmal, Kobe, Wharton Jr., Rademanovic, Bynum, this is a weird lineup, two regular season main players + three substitutes.

The elder Dunleavy didn't know what the Lakers were playing, and seeing that Kobe was still on the court in the fourth quarter, in order to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, he didn't replace all the main players, and sent them: Blevin . Knight, Mobley, Garcia, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

Kobe Bryant still has a good feel after playing in the fourth quarter, if strictly speaking, Ji Guosha was completely blown up by Kobe Bryant today, but the Lakers did not beat the Clippers, but lost miserably!

Clippers fans don't think there's anything wrong with Brother Fox being blown up at this time, when the team wins, who cares about this? Even the party who was blown up, Ji Guoyan himself was not depressed at all, even if he was blown up in this round of the series, as long as the team could win, he would be happy!

Of course, this has something to do with his number today, if he didn't get 20+, only scored in single digits, and was ravaged by Kobe Bryant so normally, Ji Guoqiu was the first to not believe that he still had a good mood now.

At 7:05 in the fourth quarter, the old cat Mobley and Ji Guoyi hit a three-pointer one after another, turning the score into 105:77 in a blink of an eye, and the Clippers' lead has reached 28 points.

The elder Dunleavy finally smiled reassuringly, and replaced the twin brothers on the next dead ball, completely replacing them with a full bench lineup.

The Zen master still didn't replace Kobe Bryant at this time. Jackson is not at ease at the moment, he wants Kobe Bryant to brush a 50+ on the court, and completely sober this guy. Phil. Jackson understands that if Kobe Bryant is not given a dose of fierce medicine today, even if this game is defeated, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want Kobe to be obedient in this series, it is not up to him to tell Kobe what to do, and he must be woken up by painful facts and criticism from the media + fans.

Clippers lineup: Blavin. Knight, Mobley, Garcia, Almi. Johnson, Tim. Thomas.

The Lakers' on-court lineup became: Famar, Vujacic, Wharton Jr., Radmanovic, Ronnie. Turyaf.

The two sides are in a substitute battle, the Lakers are still at a disadvantage, as the so-called defeat is like a mountain, the Lakers' rout is like a mountain falling, even if the starter is replaced by a substitute, the result is still a defeat. On the contrary, the Clippers players are full of momentum and courage, especially Tim. Thomas, the big brush, is the most energetic at this time, and this guy is useless when playing against the wind, but he looks like an All-Star in the downwind battle, and the outside projection incarnates as Nowitzki, hitting long-range shots one after another, hitting the morale of the Lakers players who have already become negative.

At 3:30 in the fourth quarter, there was already a fifth less fans in the Staples Arena, and needless to say, these guys were all Lakers fans who had mixed in, and now they must regret coming to see this game, because they witnessed a once-in-a-decade rout for their team!

With a score of 118:83, the game is not over yet, and the Lakers are already 35 points behind the Clippers, which is unique in history! (To be continued) R655
