Chapter 296: The Battle of Match Point
Game 6 between the Lakers and Clippers is scheduled for May 28, with two days off in between. ~~x~
Ji Guoyi also knew that he had cheated the giant panda, so he couldn't help it, and he was going back to the apartment the next day to apologize, and by the way, he destroyed the body of the computer or something. The results just came from Taylor. When Swift came out of the house, he found that Ji Guoqiu was carrying two big boxes, and he sneaked out early in the morning, ignoring him at all.
The little fox was puzzled, and kept peeping with telepathy, and finally found that this bastard actually ran to Christine's house with two expensive dresses, which was really busy!
Ji Guoqiu rarely gave gifts to Christine, but after hooking up with Little Radish Shreds, he brought some gifts to Twilight every once in a while, some of which were valuable and some were painstaking...... As for why there is such a big change, the reason is that when this guy buys a gift for Little Radish, he buys double portions every time, so Christine is now coaxed by him to be sweet.
"What a fucking idol!" Ji Guozhi returned home and watched the TV roaring Tianzun complaining in public, I didn't know if it was in Quarahid. Wallace had no scruples, and still praised his brother for his true love.
Rashid. Wallace is indeed very kind, and at the post-game press conference, he directly scolded the Big Three for being garbage, and ridiculed that the NBA game is not basketball, just entertainment! Sure enough, the next day, the league announced a one-game ban and a fine of $10,000. Money is a small thing, but the Pistons' pivotal sixth game, Rashid. Wallace will be suspended, and a million won't be worth that loss for the Pistons.
This is the typical pit team. You are to the referee, to David. Stern couldn't be more upset. Why wait until you are eliminated or win the championship before complaining. Now at this critical moment, isn't it affecting the neighborhood?
Actually, no Rashid. Wallace said everyone knows that the league has manipulated the game this year on an unprecedented scale, spurred on by dismal ratings in last year's Finals.
Why were ratings low last year? Because people don't like to watch the Spurs and Pistons.
So what can be done to solve this problem?
Respect the will of the people, the NBA also needs democracy!
What do audiences want to see most this year? Of course, it is the Hukai Dynasty duel, thinking about the grand occasion of the yellow-green duel back then, which has rarely appeared in recent years. Good life is nostalgic. So, think about it, how will the alliance manipulate to achieve a dynastic showdown? This question is simpler, of course, he can't control the team, the players, and the fans, there is only one thing that can be controlled - the referee.
This year's NBA's home horror is not unrelated to the referee, the referee's tendentious judgment has made the devil's home court of the Jazz and Celtics this year, and also achieved the home undefeated home court of several playoff teams.
Just ask. Local fans pay a lot of money to watch the playoffs, and who wants their team to lose? So the home win rate must be high!
Thereupon. This year's NBA arena has seen an unprecedented prosperity, with the home attendance of each team breaking records, a ticket is hard to find, and the championship remains suspenseful.
But objectively speaking, the NBA's penalties still reflect a very high level, the three-judge system, and the introduction of video references, almost everything. Due to the penetration of the referee's emotional factors, there are still a lot of unbelievable penalties, I remember the third game of the Clippers vs. Jazz, the fox brother slapped the ball and got a technical foul, which is an example of the Clippers fans who still always take out the whip.
However, although there are some strange penalties, the referee's balanced penalty scale is also just right, giving A a defensive violation, and then giving B an offensive hit. In the last game, Ji Guoqiu's ball was shot out of bounds by the Lakers, and the referee actually awarded it to the Lakers, which made the Clippers players angry. But the ball that Artest touched out of bounds was awarded to the Clippers, leaving you speechless.
In doing so, the league can not only improve the excitement of the game, increase the league's revenue, but also avoid accusations such as "black whistle" and "game manipulation", after all, it is backed by the "5% misjudgment rate" of Mr. President. But fans who know the ball know that even if they play a board, some situations are still in their favor. If the league really wants to let a certain team out, and you want to go against the sky, then you really have to surpass the opponent in strength to do it, such as last year's Spurs and Cavaliers, the Spurs can beat the Cavaliers, and the referee is useless.
In all fairness, in this year's Western Conference Finals, the referee's decision is far fairer than the Eastern Conference Finals, the Clippers have not been deliberately harassed by the league, and the Lakers have not been favored by the referees, for only one reason, the Lakers are more popular, but the Clippers' game ratings are higher. Therefore, it is in line with the league's wishes for any of these two Los Angeles teams to enter the finals against the Celtics, so the referees have not become the protagonists in these five games, and the league completely lets the two teams rely on their own strength to see who can enter the finals.
The Pistons lost the last game, and the Celtics got the match point under the escort of the referees. But the Motor City is not without a chance to turn defeat into victory, but they themselves have not been able to seize it, just like Kobe Bryant only shot one of the last two three-pointers in the last game, the referee may have a certain impact on the outcome of the game, but if you really have the strength to win the championship, you still can't help you.
Before the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers received bad news, Ariza, who had been plagued by ankle injury problems in the Western Conference semifinals, announced a complete reimbursement on the 27th, and his ankle injury worsened in training, and after careful examination by the hospital, he could only end the season early for surgery.
Phil. Jackson didn't use Ariza much in this series, because the latter was in a sluggish state with an injury, and sending him up to deliver food to Artest didn't do much. Therefore, Ariza's reimbursement does not have much impact on the strength of the Lakers, and he is no longer on the list of Zen masters. This kind of impact on the Lakers is more psychological, the team has been forced to the edge of the cliff by the enemy, and now there are teammates reimbursement, all kinds of qiē seem to be bad for the Lakers, and the Lakers players have a feeling of making things worse.
The next day, Dunleavy Sr. said before the game: "We've never underestimated the Lakers, and we've had many memorable encounters with the Lakers over the years. To be able to become a team that is on par with them again. It has shown that we have had great success this season. ”
Oscar-winning actor Denzel. Washington had predicted before the game. Even if the Lakers are down 3-2, the team he is backing will still win against the Clippers, whose current table allows him to watch at least seven games at the Staples Center.
Lakers coach, Phil. Jackson became more low-key after the team lost Game 5, and simply said before the game: "I think we were affected by the atmosphere on the road in the last game, and that wasn't our real strength, and even if there was a gap between us, it wouldn't be as good as the Clippers played in Game 5." Today's game. We're definitely going to have more players step up and we're going to do better than we did before. ”
Before the sixth battle between the two teams, they all chose to keep a low profile, including Ji Guoyi, who did not jump out to provoke, but tried to relax himself and adjust his game state. He was suspended for the last game, and it's been almost a week since he rested, and it would be a tragedy if he didn't have form today, so he got up in the morning and grabbed Taylor. Swift's big fight is a pre-game warm-up.
The clock was fast approaching evening. Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals was still played at Staples Arena. The difference is that tonight's home team is the Lakers again. Before the start of the game, except for the first few rows of seats in the arena, these big names just refused to cooperate in wearing the Lakers home team shirt, but when they looked back, most of them were purple.
Today's game may determine the first team to enter the finals, the total score of the two teams is 3:2, and the Clippers can eliminate the bitter rival Lakers with one more win, and enter the finals for the first time; If the Lakers win the game, the two teams will be tied at 3:3, and then the seventh game will still be the Lakers' home court, and the Clippers will switch positions with the Lakers, so this game is a game that both teams cannot lose.
Emma. Roberts has lost a little temper in the past two days, but yesterday he still accepted Ji Guoqiu's gift, and today he came to the scene to watch the game in a dress with a combination of East and West styles.
Coincidentally, Christine's dress is as good as Emmaro. Bolts is different, but the style of the two clothes is very similar, the same costume with oriental colors, eighty percent by the same designer, and the two girls both attracted close-ups of the scene before the start of the competition.
In the locker room of the Clippers, Ji Guoyi looked at the picture on the TV and sighed in his heart: "Boss, you are really kind, aren't you afraid of them fighting?" ”
Ji Guoqiu muttered in his heart: "Killing one is just one less." ”
"So ruthless?"
"Cruel fart, how could I have thought that they would watch the game in evening dresses, this is not participating in the Oscars, what a neurosis!"
Ji Guosha: "............"
The old Dunleavy's tactics today have not changed much on the big level, but there are still some changes in the small details.
In the first quarter of today's game, the Clippers will focus on defensive counterattacks, relying on the defensive ability of the twins inside to hold their positions while observing the opponent. Of course, they can't blindly defend to the death, on the offensive end, they rarely take the initiative to play some fast attacks, hoping to achieve a surprise effect, turning the dead defense into a defensive counterattack, so that they immediately become much taller; If you fall into the position, then use the strong points in the team to attack, see who has a good hand, and who will attack in the first quarter.
"Okay, without further ado, let me ask you, do you want to go to the finals?" Old Dunleavy asked the players loudly when he came out, just wanted to ask a group of hillbillies if they wanted to go to Beijing to see the haze, and they could also ascend to immortals after inhaling fairy energy!
"Yes!" The Clippers players responded loudly, looking excited.
"Today we play two-three defense, we have a chance to launch a fast break, and if the Lakers are not prepared for this, we will take the next step." The old Dunleavy arrangement, the players have expected in advance, the tactics in the game are not to think of anything can be used immediately, the players must have a certain amount of time to strengthen training before the game, the Clippers players have especially strengthened the fast break training in the past few days, so even if the old Dunleavy did not say it, they also guessed that it might be to play a fast offense.
Ji Guozhi was happy in his heart, the Clippers' fast offense was no different from the regular season, not relying on the two second and third positions of Posey and Artest, but the rare fourth and fifth positions on the inside as arrows, plus Billups to form a trident. This style of play is unique in NBA history, and no team has ever formed a roster similar to the Clippers' current one, and there are not many interior players who can play fast-break, and it is even more difficult for a team to put together two.
After the Clippers played, the two brothers looked around and found that there were more celebrities in the front row of Staples today, as well as many Asian star faces.
Before the start of the game, Charles. Barkley said: "Kenny, you know, in the last game, when I knew that my Fox brother was suspended and couldn't play, I thought it was the Lakers who would advance. But now I don't think they have a chance, they didn't take advantage of such a favorable situation in Game 5, and now that the twins are back and the Clippers have the match point, even on the road, I don't think the Lakers have a chance to win, they themselves lost the chance to advance. ”
Kenny. Smith didn't refute it, saying: "You're right, the Lakers are not yet the time to win a championship this season. ”
At this moment on the court, the Lakers players have similar expressions today, all of them are like their bosses are about to hang up, and their feelings are very depressed, it is difficult to see the smiling faces of the past from their faces, and the whole team seems to be cosplaying. Of course, this is not to say that the old Buss is really hanging, but the grim shape of the playoffs at this time has made the Lakers players, including many Lakers fans, a little breathless, such as their mascot Jack. Nicholson, who sat honestly in his seat today, could see that he was very unhappy.
Not only is Nicholson unhappy, but Lakers fans are unhappy, who would have thought that they might meet the Clippers in the division finals before this season? I never thought that I might be eliminated by the Clippers, a big bad team that has never looked down on me! That's right, just before this round, they still looked down on the Clippers, and they never thought that their opponent in the division finals would be the Clippers!
The Lakers from top to bottom believe that the Clippers are counted as nouveau riche, and it is already great to be able to walk shit and get mixed up in the playoffs, and when the mud legs meet a real strong team in the playoffs, they will be immediately beaten back to their original shape. But now, it seems to be them who have been beaten back to square one, and the Clippers are going to eliminate them with one more win today, which is like a dream.
Of course, this is an absolute nightmare for Lakers fans and players! (To be continued......) R640
