Chapter 246: Capture the Devil's Home Field

The Jazz didn't have no chances, and in the first half of the third quarter, the Clippers opted to defend, giving the Jazz 18 feet away, and as long as the latter could do enough damage to the Clippers from the outside, they could come back and win. Since you can't shoot yourself, you have to blame yourself for not being proficient, and the Jazz players quickly paid the price for their poor outside shooting.

That's how the playoffs are, finding the enemy's weaknesses and finding your own weaknesses; Target enemy weaknesses and hide your weaknesses.

Whoever can do the above will win the playoffs.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Clippers retracted their fists and hit the Jazz's soft underbelly hard, and on the defensive end they used two minutes to press the defense, and on the offensive end they strengthened their impact on the inside, the twin brothers continued to hit the basket after blocking and dismantling, the Jazz players kept fouling, and the two brothers destroyed the Jazz with free throws.

In just half a quarter of the game, the two stood at the free throw line 9 times and did not miss a free throw, and the ultra-high free throw shooting rate completely crushed the Jazz.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 85-75, and the Clippers extended the margin to double digits.

&n.bsp; Ji Guoqiu turned his number into 10 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, Ji Guoqiu 22 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Billups 10 points and 5 assists, Artest 13 points, and Mobley 11 points.

Charles. Barkley shook his head: "I remember saying before that the Clippers led by more than 10 points into the final quarter, and the winning percentage was the highest in the league this season, and 10 points is not a small gap. ”

In the final quarter, the Jazz players hadn't given up yet, but their fighting spirit was not as high as it was before the game. Such a desire to win is obviously difficult to beat the Clippers. Not to mention catching up with double-digit point differences.

Dunleavy Sr. replaced the two brothers in the final two minutes of the third quarter. They didn't rest in the fourth quarter, and the Jazz could have one last comeback at the start of the fourth quarter, and they won by blocking the counterattack.

Clippers fourth quarter line-up: Blavin. Knight, Mobley, Garcia, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

Jazz lineup: DeLong. Williams, Kyle. Kovor, Kirilenko, Mir. Sapp, Boozer.

Dunleavy Sr. guessed correctly, Sloan really switched to their most attacking lineup in the fourth quarter, ready to fight to the death!

"I heard you pay out of your own pocket for 50 tickets to give to a 'youth charity' every game?" As soon as Ji Guoyi came on the field, he asked Boozer.

"That's right, what's your problem?"

"Nothing. It seems that you are a good person, but Mr. Good Guy, I will save you 150 tickets. ”

Ji Guoqi's words made Boozer angry, so the Jazz attacked for the first time in the fourth quarter, Boozer's 18-foot jumper missed again, and Ji Guoqiu got the rebound under the basket.

The Clippers' tactics in the fourth quarter were to slow down the offense and defense and try to compress the offensive rounds of the game, so they grabbed the rebounds and did not launch a fast break, but slowly played positional battles and consumed time to play the success rate.

"I can't believe you're going to attack me with this as trash. You are also an orphan, how can you do that? Boozer was furious. said sarcastically to Ji Guoshi.

"Of course I can do that, because orphans prefer to watch me play, even if it's in front of the TV, and no one wants your ticket."

Boozer's face turned blue when he heard this, this sentence was too vicious, and the anti-bone boy was physically and mentally traumatized!

Ji Guozhi saw Boozer lose two goals in a row, and once again realized the benefits of trash talk, why even a superstar like Joe Gang Leader would use trash talk to influence the opponent, because some people really can't resist the influence of trash talk, such as this anti-bone boy, even Duncan was affected by his "Buddha Killing Suit" in the first round, so the skill of trash talk is used well, and it can play an unexpected role in the game.

There are two kinds of so-called trash talk, boasting about oneself or insulting one's opponent, many times using puns or exaggerations, occasionally mentioning the opponent's sore spots, although sometimes dirty words are inevitable, but they cannot be equated with swear words, nor can they mention racist remarks.

Trash talk has evolved into a tactic in the NBA arena that provokes opponents, provokes opponents, and makes opponents lose their minds; On the other hand, you can also give yourself courage and hypnotize yourself like Ah Q.

In this league, it's not enough to just play the ball well, you also need to play the role of the tongue.

Although Ji Guoyi is the new trash talk king, he once attacked Garnett against the Celtics, and did not shy away from accusing the wolf king of being too vulgar in trash talk and saying anything, such as wishing Duncan a happy Mother's Day with dirty words on Mother's Day. Everyone knows that Duncan's mother has died a long time ago, which means that the stone Buddha can bear it, and another person has to beat him. Ji Guoyi also knew that in the future, this guy would use Anthony's wife Lala to attack the melon, which was also a very inferior one, at least the little fox said that he would not be so excessive.

"It's so boring to play with you, is your mouth sealed?" Ji Guoyi saw that Boozer didn't fight back, and continued to fall into the well, the head of the anti-bone boy was hot at the moment, it was because the little fox was angry, he had never seen a player like Ji Guoyi, except for Garnett.

Sloan didn't know what was going on with Boozer, in the last quarter, their inner core was even worse, the offensive end missed consecutive shots, and the defensive end was like air by Ji Guosha's continuous scores, so they were afraid to lose 20 points, and they fought back!

Delong. Williams hit a three-pointer and then hit a breakaway jumper, but the margin was still in double digits and Boozer wasted too many chances.

At 7 minutes and 30 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score was 94:73, and the Jazz not only did not narrow the difference, but were expanded by the Clippers by one point, and Coach Sloan couldn't help but call a timeout.

"What are you doing? If we continue like this, we will be swept home to fish, do you want to be swept away? Sloan's face turned red, and the Jazz boss was really angry today.

"Sorry coach, that kid's trash talk is keeping me from concentrating."

Sloan was even more angry when he heard this, and said in his heart, how old are you, and you will be affected by that little kid who is less than 20 years old, what kind of trash talk can such a big kid have?

Boozer didn't know that his coach despised him so much. This is really wronging the anti-bone boy. Ji Guoyi's trash talk is a storage that can make Duncan frown.

The suspension ends. Players from both teams returned to the pitch.

Ji Guoyi took the opportunity to say to Boozer: "Do you know, today's 50 tickets have trained 50 fans for me, I'm very strange, you play so badly, how embarrassed to give your game tickets to others." ”

Boozer finally couldn't help it anymore and reached out to push Ji Guoyi.

"Toot!" The referee's whistle sounded just in time.

Ji Guozhi raised his hands and looked at Boozer helplessly, as if to say, "Look." This is the consequence of not being calm. ”

There is a reason why Boozer is not calm, he didn't play well in the two rounds of the series, he has long held his breath, and if he is so messed up by Ji Guo's garbage talk, it would be good not to hit people. However, this push allowed him to receive a technical foul, which was already a light sentence, but Jazz still couldn't bear such a blow at the moment, and this technical foul completely made Jazz fall into the abyss.

Ji Guoyi personally took the penalty and hit both free throws, and the Clippers led by 13 points. And with the ball in hand, the Jazz have not had a decent counterattack after that. The winner is decided.

The final score was 105:95, and the Jazz did not narrow the score gap to less than 10 points after all, and they lost their two precious home courts in a row, and the end of elimination was close at hand.

The score of 0:2 is not the end, but in these two games, the difference in strength between the two teams is fatal, the Jazz Shuangsha originally had the strength to fight against the Clippers, but that must be based on the premise that the Shuangsha played well together, only Delon. Williams plays alone, and the Jazz are certainly no match for the Clippers.

Ji Guoqiu got 12 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, and almost got another triple-double, Ji Guoqiu 26 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups 10 points and 6 assists, Artest 15 points, and Mobley 15 points.

In the history of the NBA, there are very few examples of teams that are behind 0:2 to turn the tables, especially the team that is behind has lost two home courts, and the Jazz have been cornered.

The Clippers have won two away games in a row, and it is clear that they will have an easy return to Los Angeles, and the Clippers will reach the Western Conference Finals and have an unstoppable local derby with the Lakers.

"Boozer is missing before playing, the Clippers capture the Devils' home court, and the Jazz lose two losses to the Clippers waiting for the death penalty!" This is the title of the next day in the United States for this game.

The Clippers faced the Utah Jazz, and at home the Jazz were unable to stop the opponent's interior attack, and they lost 95-105, and the Jazz lost home-court advantage.

Let's take a look at the reasons for the Jazz's loss, first of all, of course, the loss of control on the rebound. Not to mention Brother Panda and Brother Fox, even Artest can turn the Jazz upside down on the inside. There has always been an old saying on the basketball court, those who have the inside line win the world. The Jazz collapsed on the inside, and it can be said that they have long lost the opportunity to win.

The second was the outside unfavorable, and the second game, Kyle. Korver shot 0 of 6 three-pointers, Kirilenko shot 1 of 4, Oku shot 1 of 4, they only shot a pitiful 5 three-pointers in the whole game, and the three-point shooting rate of just 25% can really only be described as pitiful, and the Utah Jazz lost to the Los Angeles Clippers at home, and their poor play on the outside contributed to it.

Finally, there is the restraint in terms of playing style, and the Jazz can be called one of the three teams with the strongest positional warfare ability in the league. Sloan's guidance, plus Boozer and DeLong. Williams, the Utah duo, and the Jazz's strategy is to drag every offense and defense in every game into a positional battle. But they just met twin brothers who are good at joint defense and interior defense, plus Artest, Posey, and Billups formed a tough outside line, once the Jazz did not have a three-point boost, and the interior Boozer played sluggishly, they had no chance to turn the game around.

Three major disadvantages left the Jazz with little chance in today's game. Although he once led by 12 points in the first quarter, he quickly watched the opponent calmly overtake the score.

To be honest, fans around the world who watched these two games didn't see the "Energy Center Arena" worthy of the Devils' home name, at least they didn't show the power of this title in these two games, and the Jazz lost cleanly, and every time in the third or final quarter, they were taken away by the Clippers in a wave of offense.

Ji Guoyi said after the game: "This is really the devil's home stadium, the fans have been insulting us with racist swear words, and Boozer's attitude towards me is very unfriendly, which made me angry throughout the game. Comparatively, I think Spurs fans are much better. It was a very difficult experience for me today and we went back to our home stadium to hopefully get more support. ”

Boozer vomited three liters of blood on the spot, did this fox look a little angry?

Ji Guoqiu, who was also badly taught by the little fox, also said after the game that he couldn't stand the home fans in Salt Lake City, saying: "It's already very difficult to play here, but you have to face the boos of the fans, it's really terrible, I want to come out of here and come back to Staples to help my teammates play more easily." ”

When asked, will the Clippers end the fight in less than four games?

Ji Guoyi looked confident, and he replied: "In the first round, someone asked us, can we enter the second round?" I sue him, why can't we think we can shake the whole world? The Warriors' table last season proved to everyone that nothing is impossible, so we did the same thing as them. (To be continued......)
