Phil. Jackson didn't rush to replace Kobe Bryant today, and continued to use in the second quarter: Jordan. Famar, Vujasic, Wharton Jr., Odom, Bynum's semi-main + semi-substitute lineup. ／

The Lakers' lineup is strong on the inside, and it just so happens that the Clippers' bench interior is not very good, so four minutes later, the Lakers have a three-point lead over the Clippers.

At 7 minutes and 55 seconds in the second quarter, the score was 33:36, the Lakers led by three points, and the two teams re-replaced their main forces, and the decisive battle of the first half began.

After the main players of the two teams returned to the court, the Lakers' offense was still surprisingly fierce, and the Zen master's order was to crush the Clippers in one go in the second quarter. It's a streak from the Lakers, and while the wind is going well, they need to hit a high enough damage to give up.

Kobe Bryant and Fisher hit three-pointers one after another, Gasol then played two and one under the basket, and in the blink of an eye, the Lakers expanded the difference to double digits.

Clippers fans are extremely painful, and the Lakers' three offenses actually didn't have many good opportunities, almost all of them were barely shot, but they all hit. On the contrary, the Clippers had several offensive opportunities, but they just couldn't hit anyone, and all three shots ended up knocking out of the frame.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the elder Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout and instructed the players to try to hit the basketball inside. Even fans know that the closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score, and the easier it is to get to the free throw line without scoring.

"Keep calm, it's not good, it's nothing, we've had bad luck during this time, you're all the best in battle, I'm sure you've been in this situation more than once, we'll stop their attacks when we get on the pitch." Dunleavy Sr.'s words kept the Clippers players composed. The Clippers players know that too. That's how the rebounding game is. Everyone has a good time. There are also times when there are inaccurate, the difference between a strong team and a weak team is that when they feel cold, the strong team can often find a way not to let the opponent take the opportunity to open up the difference, and the best choice is of course to use high-intensity defense to make the opponent's hand feel cold.

If not, then no one is allowed.

After the game restarted, the Clippers sacrificed a suffocating defense, which the Clippers used in the past to be less than a meter away from defenders. When the tactics of close defense, the man-to-man defensive formation will be used, because this kind of defense is strong enough, if you play joint defense, then this kind of intensity will not only be unbearable for the opponent, but I am afraid that I will not be able to cope with it first.

The elder Dunleavy suspended this time to replace Garcia with Artest, the purpose is to make the team run faster and more flexible, Artest is strong in single defense, and he is probably the best player in the Clippers single defense. However, his pace is a little slower when playing joint defense. When the Clippers use joint defense, they are prone to vulnerabilities in Artest.

Garcia has averaged 18 minutes per game this season. He was able to contribute 6.1 points and 2.5 rebounds, and his three-point shooting percentage was 36%. Uncle Jia is better than Artest in terms of height and arm span, his feet are more flexible, he is tenacious, he has the style of Saburo who is desperate, and he has strong adaptability, and he is an excellent team player.

After the Clippers used Garcia to play the second and third positions, it was more difficult for Lakers players to find holes, and the Clippers' defensive formation was more impermeable. But in terms of defensive intensity, the Clippers at the moment are not as good as when Artest was on the floor. If you use the number jù in the game, it is that the Clippers' defensive range has increased, but the defensive intensity has decreased.

Kobe Bryant's basketball IQ is very high, and he quickly noticed the difference between the Clippers at the moment, although the area that Artest was responsible for defending is now rotated more quickly, but the protection has decreased.

The Lakers attacked, Gasol and Bynum once again performed multiple cover tactics for Kobe, and Peter Pan found a gap and immediately dribbled to force Garcia's position.

Garcia moved on his feet and quickly followed Bryant's breakaway, but was still thrown out of half a position, and the latter dribbled inside.

Ji Guoyi quickly assisted in the defense on the inside, delaying Kobe's breakthrough, Garcia took the opportunity to immediately form a circle with the little fox, and Kobe was caught on the inside!

The Clippers players immediately contracted the defense line and trapped Kobe Bryant on the inside, and their defensive intensity did decline, but the joint defense is to gather the strength of the whole team to defend the opponent's strong points, the purpose is to play more and less, rather than relying on the strong to bully the weak, so flexibility and awareness are the most important attributes of joint defense.

Kobe Bryant was surrounded by Clippers players, still relying on his outstanding ball sense without making mistakes, and he also wanted to make Ji Guosha's foul.

It's a pity that in this round of the playoffs, the referee just didn't give Peter Pan a chance to stand on the free throw line, this time Kobe Bryant's shot smashed out of the basket, the referee did not blow the whistle and awarded a foul, and the Clippers got the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack!

Billups, Posey, and Ji Guoqiu launched a three-line fast attack, and finally Mr. Key assisted Posey for a dunk and scored two points.

A successful defense is often the easiest to create steals and fast breaks.

The Clippers didn't shoot well in the second quarter, but in the second half, they relied on their excellent defense to frequently create fast-break opportunities similar to this one, using third-line or even fourth-line fast-break to rush up against the Lakers.

The Lakers were not prepared for this, and the Zen master was eager to have no good solution, and the Clippers began to slowly catch up with the score they had fallen behind in the second half of the second quarter.

At the end of the first half, the score was 54:58, and the difference between the two teams was only 4 points.

In the second quarter, the Clippers shot only 8 of 25 shots as a team, and most of these 8 shots were secondary offenses after layups and grabbing frontcourt rebounds, but the fast break and secondary offense were the easiest to create free throw opportunities, and the Clippers made a total of 8 free throws in the second quarter, so they still scored 26 points in the second quarter.

The Lakers made another mistake in the second quarter, and were grabbed 4 frontcourt rebounds by the Clippers twins, which made the Zen master almost unable to calm down, 4 frontcourt rebounds means that they could lose up to 8 points, and without these crucial four frontcourt rebounds, the Clippers may still be behind them by double digits now.

Ji Guoqiu had 8 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, Ji Guoqiu had 18 points and 5 rebounds, Billups had 9 points and 4 assists, Artest had 8 points, Posey had 5 points, Garcia had 4 points, and Mobley had 4 points.

Bryant had 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Gasol 11 points and 6 rebounds, Odom 7 points and 5 rebounds, Radmanovic 6 points and 3 rebounds, Fisher 6 points and 3 assists, Vujacic 5 points, and Wharton Jr. 2 points.

Charles. Barkley didn't know where to get a number at halftime, and said: "In this year's playoffs, the Lakers have conceded the most points in the league at the point guard position, Billups has an efficiency value of 21 in the first two rounds, but in the first five games of this round, his efficiency value reached an astonishing 27.8, which is the highest efficiency value of the Clippers in this series." ”

Kenny. Smith became interested and asked, "Who's first?" What is the efficiency value of the twins? How much are Kobe Bryant and Gasol? ”

"In this year's playoffs, the number one in efficiency is LeBron. James, the Emperor Jr.'s efficiency rating of 31.1 is the highest of any player since '03. The second place is Chris. Paul, it's not for nothing that the Queen Bee has been so hot this year, and her efficiency rating of 28.9 in the playoffs puts him in second place. The third place is Kobe Bryant, Peter Pan's efficiency value this year is 28.1, which is one of his best results in the past. In fifth place is Ji Guoyan, whose efficiency value reaches 26.3. However, his brother Ji Guoqiu was dragged down by the score jù, and only had an efficiency value of 23.0, which did not rank in the top 10 and only ranked 13th. The Clippers are in second place in efficiency and Billups, and in the Finals Mr. MVP is 11th in the league with an efficiency rating of 23.6, also not in the top 10. ”

"Where did you get these numbers, are you right? I think the guy who calculates this number has a grudge against Kobe, why Peter Pan rarely enters the top three, and never reaches more than 30 once? ”

Charles. Barkley smiled: "There is no detailed information about the playoffs, but since the 60s, there are Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, and Sharks who have won more than five regular-season efficiency kings in history, and these four are the most dominant superstars of that era, of which only Jordan has an efficiency value of 30+ more than three times, Jordan 3 times, Chamberlain 3 times, and Sharks 3 times." As for Kobe, he didn't have a single one. I also have a list of NBA all-time efficiency values here......" Barkley picked up another piece of paper and said proudly: "In the entire NBA history, the number one efficiency value is Michael. Jordan, that guy has a career efficiency rating of 27.91. In second place is Shaq. O'Neal, the Shark's efficiency value is 27.82, which is not much different from Jordan. The third is David. Robinson, Fourth Wilt. Chamberlain, fifth is Bob. Petit, and I was in seventh place. ”

Many fans secretly said that although the Clippers do not have a superstar like Kobe, they have three All-Stars with an efficiency value of more than 23, so the combined power seems to be even more terrifying.

In the second half, the Lakers were restrained everywhere as soon as they came up, and the players were completely out of shape, and they played three irons in a row in the opening game.

Today's game was strange, after the Clippers felt cold in the second quarter, it was the Lakers' turn to feel cold in the third quarter, and the Clippers players had begun to recover.

In the first five minutes of the third quarter, the Lakers only Gasol hit a shot, and the Clippers beat a small ** of 8:2, overtaking the score in one fell swoop.

At 7 minutes and 10 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 62:60, and the Zen master called a timeout.

The Clippers' performance during this period is not very good, and both teams have been too energetic on the defensive end, which has affected their offense. It's just that the Lakers were more affected, especially Kobe Bryant's three shots in the second half missed all three shots, and these three shooting opportunities have come out, but all of them have come out of the basket without exception.

The Lakers faced the cold hand and made the same choice as the Clippers, they chose to defend solidly, first retract their fists, and wait until they had enough strength to play.

However, Phil. Jackson quickly discovered after the start of the game that their shell was not as strong as the Clippers, and even if they shrunk up, they couldn't fully defend themselves against the Clippers' offense. Gasol and Bynum's defense was not strong enough, and the last timeout, the Zen master replaced Bynum for Odom, but the result was still the same, and the Clippers were still slowly pulling away the score.
