Chapter 270: Ji Guo's Trumpet
Of course, no one believes these nonsense words in the Los Angeles Times, and the purpose of these news made by the Lakers' relatives media is obvious, they just want to do everything possible to interfere with the preparation of the Clippers and affect the mentality of the Clippers players, and Artest has indeed been affected, maybe the Lakers really contacted Artest, who can say for sure.?
Artest thought about it, and probably felt that the Lakers' current promises were all empty words, who knows if 40 million will become 30 million next summer? So Artest hurriedly came out to refute the rumors, refute the irresponsible fake news of the Los Angeles Times, and maintain the right to investigate.
In the next few days, the Los Angeles Times suddenly changed the conversation and began to discuss the annual salary of the twins again, they calculated according to all the league's tens of millions of stars, and finally I don't know how to calculate a conclusion: the individual number of the twin brothers and their role on the court have reached the maximum salary level, and their role in the Clippers is no less than that of Paul of the Lakers. Gasol and the Green Shirts' Kevin. Garnett, but the two of them combined only have an annual salary of 3 million, which is ridiculously low.
Ji Guoyi secretly gave a thumbs up to the Los Angeles Times, and when he mentioned this, he was heartbroken, so much money to do so much work, in addition to being unhappy, he was still unhappy!
On May 17, 2008, when the Los Angeles Times was sowing discord, they never expected that the Lakers were recruited first, and it was not the Clippers' counterattack, it was completely Kobe Bryant himself who provoked the fire.
The famous American gossip news website "thedirty" broke the news on this day, saying that it had received reliable inside information showing that the MVP winner of the 2007-08 season. Bryant. Bryant with Vanessa, one of the Lakers' cheerleaders. Corey has an affair. Rumor has it confirmed that the two have secretly dated several times before. This news has not been confirmed, though. But this name and Kobe's wife Vanessa. Bryant's namesake cheerleader has resigned, and according to the insider who disclosed the situation, the relationship between the two is deeply hidden and difficult to detect.
Later, "thedirty" interviewed Lakers related people on this matter, and the explanation was that the "Vanessa" took the initiative to resign in order to develop the "host career", and it had nothing to do with the rumors.
Although this news has not been confirmed by reliable evidence, enthusiastic netizens in the United States have commented that this news is "old news", and Kobe Bryant dated the cheerleader named "Vanessa" as early as during the All-Star Game. The personal relationship is quite deep. There is even a netizen who claims to be a high school friend of Kobe's wife "Vanessa" who replied: Vanessa is a loyal follower of "thedirty", and the turmoil is likely to affect Kobe's family, and by the way, the Lakers playoff game will be implicated.
With so many insiders popping up, Ji Guoyan was naturally not to be outdone, and took this opportunity to secretly release his big move, and he sent an amazing reply with the ID name: 17/47!
The 17/47 classmate claimed that he also got reliable inside information that Kobe Bryant's wife, Zhen. Vanessa claims that Peter Pan had illicit relationships with at least 105 different women.
That's right, that's what Ji Guoyi's post said. Although someone at the bottom replied to the post questioning his so-called "inside information", it is also a little too deep, how can you practice the affairs of the two husbands and wives of the family? But Ji Guoyan still replied shamelessly: This news is absolutely true. Kobe Bryant's wife is true. Vanessa revealed that her husband has relationships with about 10 different women a year that transcend friendships, and that every NBA city has his sexual partners, which are all shady things hidden behind their marriages, and that 105 women is only a very conservative estimate.
"Do you lack virtue?" Ji Guoqiu is extremely disdainful of his younger brother's bad behavior!
"Lack of virtue? You know what, if I do this, I won't have to divorce the boss in the future, I'm doing it for his good, so that he will carefully consider whether it's worth it when he splits his legs. "Ji Guo's righteous words are nonsense.
Not to mention Kobe Bryant's anxiety at home, Lakers players and fans are also worried about whether their core will affect their state. In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers looked to win easily, but Charles. Barkley doesn't see it that way, the big ass thinks that the Lakers don't be happy to win one game first, the interior line composed of twin brothers still surpasses the Lakers in offensive ability, and Kobe Bryant's score is seventy percent distributed on the outside, which shows that Peter Pan can't actually hit the Clippers' inside line, his shooting percentage is good, the score is high, and he relies on a hot touch, but this kind of touch will not be possessed in every game.
Secondly, Barkley believes that Billups and Artest's first game were tepid, and Mr. Key should be that the injury has not healed, as for Artest, he doesn't know what the reason for his slump, but the Lakers can't expect these two to be in a slump.
Except for Charles. Barkley is still optimistic about the Clippers, and ESPN's news also analyzed: In the first meeting, the Lakers used a plan to race horses, and it can also be said that the Zen master used a strategy to capture the old man, first let the Clippers fight with his other players, Kobe Bryant turned into an organizer, and when the Clippers and other Lakers players led by Gasol finished half the game and became the end of the crossbow, Peter Pan suddenly made a force in the second half.
As sounds, ESPN doesn't think it's possible to use this kind of trick all the time, as long as the Clippers' Billups and Artest step up, they can withstand Gasol and Odom's offense. And if Kobe Bryant can't play, the Lakers will have only a dead end.
ESPN thinks that the Lakers' interior line is a big problem, Gasol and Odom will count Bynum, these three people in the first game in front of the touchstone of twin brothers, the body is incomplete, Ji Guoqiu played a Duncan-level table in the first game, if it weren't for the poor feeling of the fox brother, if it wasn't for Peter Pan's super personal ability, I'm afraid the Lakers would have lost their home court advantage.
The twin brothers are both relatively stable players, and their mental intelligence is very strong, and since the Clippers swept the opponent in the second round and rested for ten days, the main players except for Billups are basically healthy, even if Mr. Key looks like he is injured, there is no big problem. As a result, when it comes to the playoff finals, their main lineup is one of the most intact teams.
Compared to the Clippers. The main players of the other teams have injuries of one kind or another. Including the Celtics' Garnett, Ray. Alan. The Pistons' Prince and Wallace, as well as the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Bynum, are also injured. Kobe Bryant injured his back in the game against the Hornets, and he died down in the first half of the first game, which may not be the relationship decided by the back injury, if Kobe Bryant worked hard from the beginning, in the end, Kobe Bryant was injured due to injury. It will inevitably be discounted on his offense.
In addition to the above, the biggest problem that plagued the Lakers in the first game was the scramble for rebounds. Twins and two brothers, they must be tall and tall, flexible and sexually flexible, and their ability to predict is almost demonic. The Lakers' three interior linemen are not bad if they are tall and flexible, but why don't the three of them get a lot of offensive rebounds?
This was determined by the technical characteristics of the three people, Gasol was characterized by an unstable chassis, which affected not only the forces. The Caucasians, who were already poor in strength, were due to the instability of the chassis. The strength will be even worse. As a result, Gasol often struggled to grab many rebounds in the fourth quarter; And Odom's character determines that he is not without strength, but has a weak heart, which is also determined by a person's character and blood, he is no matter how strong he is, he is no matter how tall he is, without a strong heart, he will also hide far away when fighting; It seems that there is also a Bynum, this guy has enough strength, and his blood is not bad, but he can't stand his head stupidly, Bynum belongs to the ASUS Republic of Gamers motherboard with Celeron CPU, and he can't plug it in.
In the first game, the two brothers combined to grab 21 rebounds, which may not seem like a lot, but eight of them were valuable frontcourt rebounds, which meant that the Lakers suffered a big loss in rebounding.
Finally, don't expect Kobe Bryant to hit every fourth quarter like Superman, who can turn the tide and save the building from falling with his own strength. When Kobe Bryant was crazy in the fourth quarter, Gasol only scored 4 points in the final quarter, and Odom only scored 2 points. If the Clippers pinch Kobe Bryant in the second game, of course, they may not be able to choke it, but if Kobe Bryant is dumb tomorrow, the Clippers' big reversal will be impossible.
When old Dunleavy saw these reports, he was thoughtful, this guy would be lazy......
On May 17, the Boston Celtics vs the Detroit Pistons.
This year's Eastern Conference playoffs are not inferior to those in the West, and the Celtics have come along the way, not only stumbling, they are the most disappointing seeded team for fans.
In the history of the NBA, there has never been a championship that has relied solely on home court wins; And in the history of the playoffs, there has never been a team that has lost more than five games away from home to win the championship; Celtic has done all of the above two things, so no one thinks they can win the championship, Celtic wants to win the championship, at least you win an away game for everyone to see!
At this time, the majority of fans feel that even if the Celtics gather the "Big Three", they will not be able to escape the entanglement of digital fate, not to mention, their home myth today was almost poured cold water by the Pistons.
In the last game, the Cavaliers put the Celtics through one of the most thrilling home games of the series, and after two rounds of playoff charges, Boston's fortified walls were crumbling. The Hawks didn't take Boston in the first round because they didn't have a lone hero; The Knights didn't capture Boston because they only had one gorilla; But the appearance of these two teams gives the Pistons confidence that the overall strength of Motor City will be a combination of the first two.
The Boston "Big Three" didn't play a joint role in the playoffs. Allen has almost become a "cancer" for the team. As one of the best shooters in NBA history, he shot just 32.8 percent from the field in the Cavaliers series, averaged 9.3 points per game, and made 4-of-24 three-pointers even more shocking, looking like even Mobley.
One of the Celtics' "Big Three" Ray. Allen still couldn't find his groove in the Eastern Conference Finals, but fortunately Kevin. Garnett and Paul. Pierce was strong, scoring 26 and 22 points inside and out, respectively. Allen was just 3-of-10 from the field and scored just nine points.
But it wasn't just these two who were able to pull off the Celtics' victory, everyone was amazed by Kassel's fourth-quarter performance, and with the team in a scoring slump, the "aliens" stepped up to help the Celtics win the crucial victory.
When the Green Shirts went to great lengths to sign Cassel in March, they hoped that the 39-year-old "alien" would step up to help the team at this time, and Cassel also used his watch to tell SΓΉ Rivers that he made the right choice.
In the Eastern Conference finals, in the crucial fourth quarter of the first game against the Pistons, Cassel scored 10 points alone, and he could only score a total of 13 points in this game, which is a veritable fourth quarter gentleman.
At this time, Clippers fans were hurting, they saw the wonderful table of Cassel's playoffs, and then thought that if Cassel was still in the Clippers, such a table in the last quarter could help the Clippers turn over the Lakers, Sterling stupidly let go of Cassel for millions of dollars, and Clippers fans couldn't help but criticize the brain-dead boss's brain-dead behavior again, and collectively denounced the damned Grande.
"I've found my right place and I can contribute to the team no matter what the team needs me to do, play 10 minutes or 20 minutes," Kassel enthused after the game. β
After the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, everyone will look back to the West, and on May 18, the Lakers vs Clippers will have a second matchup.
LeBron. James said with a fishing stalk on his back: "I'm more optimistic about the Clippers, I think the Clippers are very confident on the road, it's hard to believe that they have won 4 away games, the entire 8 teams in the East together don't seem to have won 4 away games, and it's really amazing that they can do this in the West." The gorilla said and put his arm on Dronti affectionately. West continued: "I even think the Clippers are better on the road than on the home, the Lakers are going to take on a tough challenge, it's going to be a great series, and I'm looking forward to it." β
Ji Guoqiu thanked James for his support at the pre-match press conference, and said to the media: "We may have rested for too long, so that many teammates have not yet entered the state in the first game, we have always believed that we are capable of beating any team, and we will regroup in the second game." β
Dunleavy Sr. told the media: "Before the start of the season, fans thought we would meet the Lakers in the playoffs, but they didn't expect it to be in the Western Conference Finals. Our team has been working together for a long time, and we have experienced a lot of tough battles together. The last two rounds have helped us a lot and we enjoyed the feeling of winning, but as we went forward, it got harder and harder, but we were confident that we would make history and it would be the big opponents that would make our blood boil.
