Chapter 260: Advancing too fast
On May 9, 2008, the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Hornets played the fourth game of the Western Conference semifinals, and the Lakers temporarily led 2:1 in the overall score.
Before the game, the news of Kobe Bryant's back spasm came out, and the Hornets were immediately demoralized and confident, and they vowed to win Game 4.
The Lakers are in trouble with the Rockets, and health is a big issue for them. Bryant is perhaps the only Lakers player in this series who can win four games on his own. However, his back limits his play, and he will definitely play in Game 4, but based on the back injury history of Bird and Maddy, it will be difficult for Kobe Bryant to play a great game.
The Los Angeles Times even jokingly said that Kobe. Bryant's back injury is now the focus of attention throughout Los Angeles, throughout California, and across the United States. Back pain is a common condition, with 8 out of 10 people experiencing back pain, but most people don't have as much influence as Kobe.
Peter Pan stated that the spasms in his back affected his jumping, and he felt pain and stiffness in his back. Bryant is currently receiving round-the-clock treatment in the form of electrotherapy, ice, heat, massage and stretching. Bryant now wears an electrotherapy device with him, even while sleeping. Priced at $2,700 and resembling an old-fashioned police scanner, the device speeds up blood circulation while reducing pain.
According to a spine surgeon at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, the back injury can be large or small, ranging from a minor muscle strain to a deep soft tissue injury. In his opinion, Kobe's back injury is not a big problem, because he can still play.
Ji Guozhi posted on Kobe's forum that the black boss, his 10th trumpet posted before being permanently blocked, thinking that someone was pretending to be injured again, just signaling a big fart problem that can recover after a day or two of rest. can be made the focus of attention in the United States, it's just shameless!
Back to the game, the matchup between Kobe and Paul has always been the biggest attraction of this series, the first two games Kobe Bryant had the upper hand, but after returning to the home court, Paul gradually regained his feeling. In the fourth game, the two almost scored and scored, and assisted against assist, and it was difficult to distinguish.
Today, the two battled together as soon as they started, and Kobe Bryant was not injured and affected at all, scoring 11 points in the first quarter. Paul also scored eight points as the Lakers started the game 8-4 and led all the way there, extending their advantage to 22-16 with 2:29 left in the quarter.
Odom hit a three-pointer at the start of the second quarter, and Wharton Jr. followed up with a three-pointer as the Lakers started the quarter with a 17-4 run, and the Lakers' outstanding outside shooters allowed the Lakers to open up a 41-26 deficit.
The Hornets were unable to close the gap to single digits after that, trailing 42-55 at halftime.
Chris. Paul took the lead at the start of the third quarter. But after that, the Lakers' defense caused them to make frequent mistakes, and the Purple and Gold went on a 9-0 run to take a 20-point advantage at 64-44. Halfway through this section. Paterson and Pargo hit back-to-back three-pointers to tie the score at 56-73, but Bryant immediately returned a three-pointer when the Hornets launched a counterattack, and the Lakers pulled the score away.
After three quarters, the Hornets trailed by 24 points at 61:85.
The huge margin of 24 points allowed the Hornets to give up resistance and miss the starters in the final quarter. The Lakers also let the main team rest and prepare for the next tough battle.
Bryant had 23 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds, Gasol 16 points and 9 rebounds, Odom 13 points and 8 rebounds, Wharton 10 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Bynum 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Fisher 10 points.
Chris. Paul had 21 points and eight assists. Stojakovic 15 points and 8 rebounds. West 16 points and 8 rebounds, Tyson. Chandler had 8 points and 10 rebounds.
The Lakers won two in a row on the road. The strong overall ability was too much for the New Orleans to parry, and the Purple and Gold won match point after Game 4. Didn't let the sworn enemy Clippers dominate the crowd.
Phil. Jackson said in his post-match press conference: "We won two away games in a row because we defended well and we want to keep winning, we want to make sure that the team's defense is consistent, we understand that the opponent is likely to become more aggressive, and if you don't want to lose, you have to keep doing what you're doing." â
Bryant was pleased with the team's performance after winning the game and also mentioned the Clippers: "Yesterday they advanced 4-0, which made us feel a lot of pressure, but it was also motivation. Today we're tougher under the basket, we're quicker, we're able to step up with our role players, because we're telling the Los Angeles fans, don't worry, purple and gold still dominate here. â
Ji Guoyi knew Kobe's remarks the next day, and he was immediately unhappy, but he didn't have time to fight with Kobe Bryant again, the Clippers advanced too early, Aston Martin wanted to take advantage of this time to finish filming the commercial, anyway, there was only a 30-second commercial, and the progress was smooth lĂŹ It could be filmed in one day, just Emma. Watson is also in the United States, so he simply got things done.
On May 10, Ji Guoyi took half a day to shoot an advertisement, and Aston Martin did not have the right to let Ji Guoyi shoot the advertisement in advance, so they had to pay enough price. Ji Guoyi took the opportunity to grab a luxury sports car worth $600,000 for his girlfriend, and was ready to find an opportunity to give it to Taylor. Swift.
On the same day, the first four matches of the second round of the East and West were also completed.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz - 4:0, the Clippers swept the Jazz, setting the best record in the history of the playoffs.
Los Angeles Lakers vs New Orleans Hornets - 3:1, the Purple and Gold won the match point.
Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers - 2:2, the little emperor sent the opponent to black for three minutes, and the home team equalized.
Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic - 3:1, Prince staged a stunner, Motor City won the game point.
In this year's playoffs, the Celtics' Big Three stumbled along the way, and in the second round, they were once again equalized by the Cavaliers at home after winning two games at home.
It's very similar to the first-round game against the Atlanta Hawks, but whether they can eliminate the Cavaliers in the same way they eliminated the Hawks in the first round is now a matter for experts to comment on. LeBron. James' playoff table is too rebellious, and he can still score high points with a quasi-triple-double per game. This gorilla is indeed not inferior to any superstar in terms of individual ability and ability to lead the team.
Thunder. Allen is in trouble in the playoffs, the Celtics Big Three have only seen two, the other doesn't know where to go, and Boston fans have begun to complain that a certain giant is a playoff cancer.
The Celtics have had a feeling this season. They often get a playoff lead, and then they play a game of cat and mouse, which always seems to be in control, but sometimes the mouse may actually run away. Like LeBron. The knights led by James, led by the little emperor, the big mouse. Even if the other players of the Cavaliers are of average strength and can even scold them as a group of CBA teammates, the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by the invincible gorillas, still have a chance to reverse the promotion after the first two losses.
The Los Angeles Times didn't bother to care so much, they had their sights set on the Lakers. It's too early to focus on the east. After the Hornets lost Game 4, Bundan didn't think the Hornets had a chance to turn the tables around. Andrew. Bynum's injury has basically recovered, the little shark's appearance is getting better and better, his talent and skill are the Lakers' strengths, and Bynum's performance will directly determine how far the Lakers can go in the playoffs, but sometimes Bynum is not very involved in the game, and he will seem to have no desire to win for a while. These are the hidden dangers of the Lakers.
ESPN reports that the Clippers, who are the most relaxed at the moment, have only one hope after they advance. That was Chauncey, who was injured before the fourth game. Billups was able to get back on the field early.
Billups, the Clippers' main point guard, missed the fourth game against the Jazz because of a sprained right foot, although the Clippers still won this game, but it must be seen that once the key Mr. is missing in the game, the Clippers have little advantage on the court, if it weren't for the Jazz also having an injured Boozer. They may not be able to sweep their opponents along the way.
Dunleavy Sr. did not forget to set off smoke bombs in an interview: "We have the best trainer in the world, and hopefully he will be back soon." We don't know what to expect yet, but we hope he can play in the first game of the Western Conference Finals. â
Billups after the fourth game. He did not attend the post-match press conference, but his team-mates said he was able to walk freely in the dressing room, and at half-time Billupst told everyone that his injury was not serious.
Ji Guozhi didn't know that the elder Dunleavy wanted to hide Billups's injury, so he directly dismantled the stage, and he told reporters: "Everyone went over to greet him before the fourth game against the Jazz to make sure he was okay, and I saw that he could walk freely, so I didn't think it was too strict." Chauncey has to rest well during the next period, and he should be fine. â
ESPN columnist Rabby believes that the impact of the injury of the playmaker in the game is fatal, such as the Houston Rockets in the first round point guard Alston was injured, they lost two games in a row, and then Alston changed the format of the series after returning, but left the court again in the sixth game, and the Rockets collapsed.
If Billups doesn't make a comeback in the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers have too few players to choose from. Livingston has been on the injury list for two seasons in a row, and he can't play, so the Clippers really only have Blevin. Knight available. In the last game, the old Dunleavy could only use Mobley to play point guard for a while, and the old cats had outstanding single-play ability, but the effect of playing the No. 1 position was not good.
Of course, Blevin. Knight has been the starting point guard of the Clippers in the first half of the regular season, and he did well at that time, he can replace Billups in terms of organization, but his shortcomings on the offensive and defensive ends are too big, and once the division finals face the Lakers, the opponent will definitely choose to shrink the defense, because Blaven. Knight doesn't have three-point ability, which would leave the twin brothers without support on the inside and getting caught in the trap.
Now among the six remaining teams in the league, the least suspenseful of promotion may be the confrontation between the Pistons and the Magic. Roaring Tianzun single defense 20 million Mr. Rashad. Lewis, the latter's first four games in Rashid. Under Wallace's defense, the overall shooting rate was only 38%, and the three-point shooting rate was only a pitiful 29%. Wallace Restrictions. Now the Magic are still holding on, relying entirely on Tekoglu's play, but Prince can have a big impact on Mr. Agent, and the Turks are also slumping in the playoffs compared to the regular season.
The Magic are in a bit like the Jazz right now, Orlando's roster is limited by the automakers in all aspects, except that they have a slight advantage in point guard, the Pistons don't have Billups now, and the young Starkey is blown up by Nelson. But this impact is not too big for the Pistons, the playoffs are the inside of the game, the Magic only rely on the limited advantage of the No. 1 position, and not being swept is already their limit.
On May 12th, Ji Guoyi spent two days secretly filming the advertisement, and said goodbye to Emma with a red car key. Watson, ready to go to Taylor. Swift is courteous.
Emma. Watson began to be busy dealing with his study abroad in the United States, and Ji Guozhi filmed advertisements in the past two days, thinking that this British was ...... No, it should be the British chick who seems to be a little interesting to herself.
In this world, the more you are bored with some girls, the more interested she is in you, Emma. Watson is a bit cheap, after contacting the fox brother, he found that Ji Guozhi didn't seem to have any thoughts about her, and even thought about grabbing a sports car for his girlfriend as a gift when he even shot an advertisement, which made little Hermione have a lot of good feelings for the little fox, plus this Moxican fox's excellent appearance and handsome appearance on the basketball court, it can indeed attract the interest of many people of the opposite sex, including friends from the Academy of Magic.
