Chapter Seventy-Eight: Three Points of Bet
Charles Barkley took the statistics of the two teams and said: "The paint area guarded by the two brothers today was not pierced by the Nuggets, let's look at the statistics, the Nuggets only shoot 25% of the total number of shots under the basket, and the interior score is only 20% of the total score, and the Nuggets score more three-point shots today than under the basket." I have to say that there are only a few teams in the league that can defend under the basket to the point where the Clippers are today. ”
Kenny Smith added for Barkley: "Yes, but they are still behind their opponents, except for the Nuggets who shoot 10 feet away from the field and from the outside of the three-point range, and more because the Clippers themselves are not good offensively, they don't score much better under the basket than the other team, and their outside line is not as accurate as the Nuggets, and the Clippers only scored 20 points on the fast break and three-pointers combined today." ”
Of course, the elder Dunleavy knows the flaws of his own team, but the team lineup is like this, and he has no good way at this stage, as long as the offensive ability of the two brothers is developed, they no longer have the embarrassment that they can defend now, but they can't move.
Ji Guoyi held the ball on the wing frame to deal with Kenyon Martin, Kenyon Martin who returned from injury lost about 30% of his athleticism, but the remaining 70% still brought Ji Guoyi the most annoying.
"I don't believe I can't handle him."
Ji Guoyi immediately broke through to the inside line as soon as he dribbled the ball, and his face frame breakthrough was not good, so he only took a step inward and hurriedly jumped to shoot, jumped to the side with his long legs, and used his long arms to get shooting space.
"Damn!"
Ji Guoqiu and old Dunleavy scolded at the same time, because Ji Guoqiu, a bastard, didn't know how to do this trick at all, and he didn't know where he saw it, isn't this a blind cock and a beating?
"Huh!"
Although Ji Guoyi was blind and hit the ball, he just hit this goal.
"Good character, no way!"
Ji Guozhi secretly screamed for luck in his heart, but he had a smug and rampant posture on his face, and raised his hands to the Clippers fans, inciting the fans' feelings.
"Don't play like that, not every time you have so good luck."
"Got it, it's not impossible."
Ji Guosha hit this balloon, the score was 74:78, and the difference came to 4 points.
On the offensive end, Anthony made two tentative steps against Artest, forcing the opponent to take a step back. Melon seized the opportunity to suddenly force a breakthrough, Artest was interfered with by Anthony's various offensive methods, and now he really couldn't figure out whether Anthony wanted to shoot or break through, this time there was no defense in place, and Anthony dribbled two steps into the basket.
Ji Guoqiu defended Anthony head-on, and the latter used a jump layup under the basket, using his big ass and broad body as a cover in the air, and forced Ji Guoqiu to score a goal.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle blew in time, and the penalty was punished for a foul by Ji Guoqiu, two plus one!
The Staples Arena was full of boos for a while, and countless foul words were scolded at the referee on duty......
Ji Guoqiu raised his hand helplessly, Anthony used his body to separate the cover, no matter how long his hand was, he couldn't reach the basketball.
Anthony hit his chest continuously after landing on the ground, melon scored less than five points under the basket today, and he could only score by shooting away from the basket, and he didn't feel much better, if it weren't for his and Iverson good hands today, and J.R. Smith's bench period, it would not be easy for the Nuggets to win the game.
Artest patted Ji Guoqiu on the shoulder: "Mine, I'll be optimistic about that guy next time." ”
Ji Guoqiu shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you, the game is not over yet." ”
The Clippers returned to the offensive end, and Ji Guoqiu beat Camby in the low post, and this time his quick turn hook was interfered with by Camby, and it was very biased.
Ji Guoyi grabbed the basketball with his hand in front of Martin, Kenyon Martin and Ji Guoyi have been at a disadvantage in the competition for rebounds today, after minimally invasive surgery, his bounce and bounce speed both declined, and his height and arm span were greatly inferior, and he couldn't grab Ji Guosha in one-on-one competition for rebounds.
The basketball was lit up, Ji Guoyi's bounce ability was strong in the speed of the bullet, and after landing, he jumped up again and took the lead again, and picked up the rebound in the air.
"Smack!"
Ji Guosha hit the ground and jumped for the third time, this time he was going to put the basketball directly into the basket, but he didn't expect to be driven back to the basket by Camby to slap the ball out, Ji Guosha took a big hat from the best defensive player!
"Nima!"
Ji Guoshi hated it in his heart, he didn't score many points today, and he finally had a chance to slam a dunk under the basket, but he was even covered!
Iverson picked up the basketball on the wing and quickly turned to counterattack.
Blaven followed up this time and interfered on his side, but the answer's possession was among the top in the league, and he didn't give him a chance to break the ball, and his dribble speed barely slowed down, and he made another layup.
The two teams went back and forth, the score was stuck at about 5 points, the Clippers were never able to catch up with the score, and the Nuggets were unable to expand the difference.
The clock came to 2 minutes and 30 seconds in the final quarter, the score was 80:85, and the Nuggets had the ball.
Ji Guoyi looked at the time, and didn't want to find a way at the moment, the 5-point advantage could be recovered by the Suns in a few rounds, but for them, it would be difficult.
Kenyon Martin received the pass and was about to pass it out, when Ji Guoyi slapped Kenyon Martin's palm hard......
With a "snap", the place where Kenyon Martin was photographed immediately turned red, which shows how much effort Ji Guoyan used now.
Kenyon Martin was hit hard by this, how could he still hold the basketball, he immediately jumped to his feet in pain, turned to Ji Guoyan and glared angrily!
Ji Guoshi looked like a good baby, and before the referee blew the whistle, he raised his right hand first and took the initiative to receive his fourth foul.
Kenyon Martin was tempted to punch the nasty guy in the face, but the referee arrived just in time to prevent them from clashing, and the Nuggets pulled him aside. Nuggets players know that if they get provoked and eat a technical foul at this time, the situation is likely to be rewritten.
"Don't be fooled, that little guy is very cunning, be careful next time." Although Camby is not the boss of the team, he is there for his age and has a high status in the team.
Camby and Ji Guoyan are fighting in secret today, that little guy has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and he has been defeated again and again, this kind of energy that wants to be a villain coupled with his innate bastard talent, Camby is very optimistic about Ji Guoyi's cultivation into another villain in the alliance in the future.
Kenyon Martin's palm was numb, which was slapped by Ji Guosha, plus his free throws were not good, only a little more than 50% of the free throw shooting rate this season, and this time he hit one of two free throws.
Old Dunleavy has no anti-emotion for Ji Guoyi's self-assertion, and the trick of "foul tactics" can be used at the moment, and the effect does not seem to be bad.
It's a pity that the Clippers themselves didn't compete on the offensive end, turned their heads and attacked, and the basketball was passed through five hands, but still didn't find a shooting opportunity.
Ji Guoshi saw that there was not much time left to attack, so he caught the ball and forced a shot......
With a "bang", Ji Guoyi hit another iron, and the rebound was protected by Camby.
At 80-86, Camby was about to pass the ball, but Breven Knight slapped his palm lightly on Kenyon Martin and sent the opponent to the free throw line again.
Ji Guozhi shouted in his heart: "Wrong...... It's not like that, such a frivolous foul, how can it work? ”
Although Ji Guoqiu did not agree with his opinion, the facts proved that Ji Guoqiu's words were right.
The numbness in Kenyon Martin's hands had subsided, and this time he hit both free throws and the foul tactics were a complete failure.
Ji Guozhi shouted in his heart: "Have you seen it, since you have chosen foul tactics, you have to be ruthless to the enemy!" ”
Ji Guoqiu said angrily: "Next time you go!" ”
Ji Guoyi glanced at the timer, the game time had come to 2 minutes and 03 seconds, and shook his head: "There is no time." ”
Dunleavy Sr. called a timeout, and the score had become 80-88 with the Nuggets hitting both free throws, and they were already trailing by eight points.
"We use three-point tactics after we get back on the court, and the game has reached the point of life and death, but I want to tell you, even if you lose this game, it doesn't mean anything, the regular season is still very long, don't hesitate on the court, shoot when you have the opportunity, show your confidence, understand?"
"Understood!"
The elder Dunleavy's words suddenly reduced the pressure on the players a lot, and as soon as the pressure was light, they naturally regained some self-confidence.
After the timeout, the cheers of the Clippers fans burst into cheers, and they were very satisfied with the team's performance since the start of the season, even if the team really couldn't beat the Nuggets today, the Clippers fans understood it. No team in the rebuilding has progressed better than the Clippers this season, and if you look at the SuperSonics, the Seattlemen are 2-8 and in the bottom of the West, and they still have the No. 5 pick in hand.
With such a comparison, Clippers fans suddenly felt that their team was much better.
After the Clippers players came on the court, they entered the three-point gambling stage, and Ji Guosha was the team's first point of attack. However, since the word "bet" is used, the success rate is naturally not much higher, and Ji Guoyi only hit one of his 3 consecutive three-point shots.
With a score of 83:93, the score difference was completely widened, and the Clippers were powerless to return to the sky!
