Chapter 307: A Bunch of Unlucky Guys

The Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics have already played two Finals matchups, with the Green Shirts taking advantage of home-court advantage to take the lead in a best-of-seven series. * Before the two sides moved to Los Angeles, New York Times sports columnist Da. Sabi also commented on the current finals in his blog:

"Now, my subconscious tells me that the Celtics are going to win Game 7, but I didn't predict that, instead saying that the Clippers would win the championship in Game 7. At the moment, while I can't say the series is coming to an end, the Bostonians are clearly a little better so far, and here are some of my thoughts after watching the first two games:

The 1.2-3-2 format is a death sentence for teams in the lower ranks. After losing Game 1 and Game 2 in Boston, the Clippers must now win all three games at home to possibly turn the tables. I mean, if the Clippers miss a little at home, who would believe they could go back to Boston with a 2-3 score and win the remaining two games? It is very difficult for any team to win three games in a row. I'm very confident now that the Celtics can get a win in Los Angeles. So, losing two games away from home definitely means more than a simple numerical scoreline. It's not so bad to be 2-0-2-1-1 down in a 2-2-1-1 format, and we've seen many times when teams that are 2-0 down win their next two games when they return to their home stadium, turning a best-of-seven series into a best-of-three series.

2. Since the 1984 Grand Finals were played in a 2-3-2 format, only two teams have won those three games. And that's happened in the last five years — the Pistons won three straight home games in 2004. Beat the Lakers to win the championship. And the 2006 Heat also swept the Mavericks on their own doorstep. and finally reversed to win the championship.

3. Despite such precedents. But I still think the league should revert the finals to a 2-2-1-1-1 format. At that time in '84, the team was on a regular passenger flight to and from the stadiums, which was really tiring for the players. But now, basically every team has their own charter flight, so travel isn't as bad for them as it used to be.

Fourth, for the Clippers' amazing comeback in Game 2 and the fourth quarter, I think it was mainly because of the Celtics' negligence. With a 20-point lead with 7:54 left in the game, the Bostonians were clearly taking it lightly. So a big part of the Clippers' ability to narrow the margin to 3 points is due to the Celtics' slackness, not how well the Clippers really played.

This article makes the outlook for the Clippers seem even bleaker. As the battle of the playoffs gradually progressed to the finals, Ji Guoyi's efficiency on the court has been rising, from averaging 24.8 points and 51% shooting per game against the Spurs, to 33 points and 54% shooting rate when playing Jazz, and then to 23 points and 48% shooting in front of the Lakers, Ji's outstanding performance in the first three rounds is jaw-dropping. However, in the first game of the finals, he only handed in 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, which made him begin to be questioned by the media after the game, and it was difficult to judge whether his form was heating up in the second game. Or will it be a thousand miles.

As a result, Ji Guosha rebounded in the second game. However, the number of 16 points and 12 rebounds can still be regarded as a significant decline compared to the report card he handed over in the first three rounds, at least compared to Ji Guoqiu, who is still playing steadily, his performance has dropped a lot.

Two games in a row have not lived up to expectations, and questions from the media and fans have been overwhelming, such as: "FXO, you have to know that a little physical contact is good for your health." "Can someone teach Fox how to play on the inside?" "FXO should play for the Sparks [the WNBA team in Los Angeles]!" "He can't guard Garnett, he can't shoot steadily, he doesn't even have a heart to fight hard!" The people who rejoiced in Ji Guoyi's super watch Xiàn earlier, after Ji Guoyi's two consecutive table xiàn slumps, became a wall in an instant, and everyone pushed it.

Ji Guo was ashamed that he didn't watch the news, otherwise he couldn't help but scold: "Lao Tzu's number jù is still better than Garnett's, and the number jù of 16+12 is worse than that of the table?" Lao Tzu has not been eliminated...... Lao Tzu is only in the first grade...... I'm going to fuck you for a watch! ”

However, it must be admitted that the Celtic defence is indeed tenacious and tenacious, especially the penalty area defense consisting of Perkins and Garnett.

Ji Guoqiu has a clear understanding of this, and he said in the pre-match press conference: "If you meet Fox and Garnett in a small alley, I think you may also choose my brother's direction to break through." His implication is that there is a real difference in size between the two, and Garnett has increased his weight to more than 250 pounds this year, which is a lap bigger than the little fox who is less than 230 pounds. And the most important thing is that although Ji Guosha is hateful, he has a handsome face, unlike Garnett, who has a hideous face, and the appearance of the little fox is really intimidating. Besides, it's not Ji Guoyan's fault that the table is mediocre. On the contrary, the temporary downturn does not negate his contributions.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Billups said of Ji: "Fox's technique and what he has done have brought us a huge advantage. We just need to play harder and have a first-year rookie go up against a superstar like Garnett, and we'll be ashamed of the old guys. ”

However, the media disagree, and they believe that whether Ji Guoyi can play well is crucial to the Clippers' championship. Because when Ji Guoqiu can play a good ball and play well on the offensive end, his brother Ji Guoqiu will usually be driven to stage a good show of "double ghosts slamming the door" with him. Ji Guoyi can attract the bag on the offensive end, so as to create space for the giant panda to play, and at the same time, he can also pass a good ball to his brother, so that the panda brother can get an easy layup. In addition, with Ji Guoyi active on the offensive end, Billups and Artest on the outside will also win a respite. To put it simply, only when Ji breaks through Garnett's strong barrier can the offensive system that the Clippers rely on be effective.

At the pre-match press conference. Ji Guoyi said to the media who made things difficult for him: "Tonight." I'm going to get 100 points. The reporters in the stadium couldn't laugh or cry. The little fox is obviously deliberately selling cuteness in protest, if they are more serious, it seems that they are deliberately targeting this guy, although they have been doing this for the past few days, otherwise where would the newspaper have such good sales?

It's not that the reporters don't know that their criticism of Ji Guosha is nonsense and can't stand scrutiny. But it can't be helped, some people just like to watch this. It's like Chinese movies are all bad movies, but the box office is high, and no one watches the movies that are well-made.

At 19 o'clock that night, the Clippers were ready for the Finals entrance ceremony, today is a memorable day for the Clippers, this game is the first time in their history to play the Finals on their home court, so Sterling, despite his stinginess, still invited a lot of celebrities to perform before the game, as well as do some performance interaction to enhance the team's image and popularity.

In the front row of Staples Arena, the Lakers' big-name fans are all gone. Only the star fans who support the Clippers are left, which are divided into different factions. For example, with gold. Carey and James. a Canadian star gang led by Cameron; The Chinese gang led by Jet Li and Ang Lee, of course, is not as famous as the Canadian gang in the world.

However, there is a figure in the Chinese celebrity cheering group who is definitely familiar to everyone, that is, the famous Guanxi brother actually carried a camera today, and waited for the game to start early. Many domestic fans were shocked when they saw the camera sweeping over Mr. Chen, who was holding a camera in his hand, and they couldn't imagine that Brother Guanxi was also a fan of twins.

In addition to Canadian and Chinese stars, the rest are local Hollywood stars, and it stands to reason that the Clippers have no star fans at all in the past, but tonight to the media's surprise, there are a lot more Hollywood bowls to watch the Clippers in the playoffs, and all of them are popular first-line stars. Someone roughly counted it, and there was Will sitting in the front row today. Smith, Tom. Cruise, Brad. Pete, Johnny. Depp, and Leonardo, who has just defected from a Lakers fan to a Clippers fan. Small plums.

Xiao Lizi, who has just been cursed by Lakers fans for not winning the Oscar for the rest of his life, came to the scene to cheer for the Clippers with great pressure and scolding under the curse of many people today, but found that all the guys sitting next to him were familiar with each other, and they all have one thing in common, that is, their acting skills are generally recognized by fans around the world, but they just can't get the best actor......

I saw a group of big names sitting on the sidelines, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, my heart hurts unspeakably, why can't I find an actor here?

Many fast-reacting Clippers fans saw these guys sitting on the sidelines and felt that it was too unlucky, is this to curse the Clippers to be like them and never win the championship?

I have to say that perhaps it was the Clippers' counterattack this season that resonated with these big names who have never won awards. It is said that Mr. Stephen Chow, the master of Asian comedy, is also a fan of the Clippers, but he did not come to the scene to watch the game because of work. This fully illustrates the composition of Clippers fans, those who have been successful and affirmed in all walks of life, few of them are Clippers fans, most of them are Lakers fans, and they think that only an aristocratic team like the Lakers is suitable for them. On the contrary, these uncrowned kings, such as the two comedy masters, Jim Carrey and Stephen Chow, they all think that the Clippers can match their eyes.

In the Clippers locker room, the elder Dunleavy was making a final summary for the team, and the Clippers coach was blushing and shouting at the players: "The game is about to start, don't pay attention to what the people outside say, they are all grass on the wall, and they will only follow the winning side to wave the flag and shout." We were able to ignore them when we were in power, and now we don't pay attention to what they say. In today's game, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we can go so far, we have our own magic weapon, that is, a tough style. We played very tough in the last game and I'm expecting to be tougher today in our own stadium, we need to play more inside and be more aggressive, so today it's our turn to be the protagonists and don't let our home fans down! ”

Ji Guozhi is very energetic at the moment, the recovery power of the little fox and the giant panda is very perverted, and I can't see that Ji Guoyi also staged a big battle Taylor in the morning. Swift's good show, he was the first to wave his arms in response to the elder Dunleavy's speech after the elder Dunleavy's words fell: "Let's go on the field and kick their ass!" ”

The Clippers players immediately followed Ji Guoyi and shouted: "Kill them!" ”

After the Clippers players played today, they also let the team's star and the stars on the sidelines have some interaction, such as the new generation of Hollywood actress who they invited to watch the game today before the game, Scarlett. Johnson came for a three-point shot. Of course, this three-point shot was a bit of a trick, and they had the future Black Widow with their backs to the basket to make it more difficult.

Scarlett. Johnson just relied on herself to throw it so nonsense, and it was estimated that she wouldn't be able to shoot it at the beginning of the game, so the Clippers sent their best shooting Ji Guoyi to assist the Hollywood actress and asked Ji Guoyi to help her adjust her direction and strength.

Taylor. Swift was very unhappy on the sidelines, his brows furrowed into eight o'clock, and he secretly scolded this bastard in his heart: "Why don't you let me go?" I'm the Fox's real girlfriend, did the Clippers management do it on purpose? ”

Ji Guoyi also expressed puzzlement, but it was actually easy to understand, because Taylor. Swift will not be famous enough, let her play games with her boyfriend, there is no gimmick at all, the little couple wants to play home and play by themselves. But let Ji Guosha and Scarlett. Johnson cooperates together, and there are many gimmicks.

Originally, the Clippers wanted Emma. Watson came to cooperate with Ji Guoyi, didn't they have a scandal for a while not long ago? Although it didn't work out later, the gimmick was enough. It's a pity that little Hermione is still filming key scenes in Harry Potter in the UK, and she lacks skills.

Ji Guozhi put on a decent gentleman's style, his eyes did not squint, and even Scarlett. Johnson's hands didn't touch, concentrating on helping the latter adjust the angle and strength. He's not stupid, so he won't come up and be careless, it's useless to take advantage of such a little advantage, on the contrary, he doesn't want to do this job at all, but Ji Guoqiu is smarter than him, and he hid early in the morning, and the giant panda is too busy with the two girls now, so it's better to stay away from the sisters or something.

Scarlett. Johnson is really stupid enough, she didn't throw the basketball into the basket five times in a row, and the fans at the scene burst into laughter, and it can be seen that they are quite willing to watch such a show, especially when the live camera always inadvertently focuses on Taylor, who is frowning. Swift, this gives everyone the feeling of watching a bloody soap opera, love triangles and whatnot, knows no borders.

In the end, until the Celtics players played, Scarlett. Johnson didn't know if he was really stupid or fakely stupid, or if he didn't hit it, Ji Guo said shamefully that you didn't mean it, do you want to eat Xiaoye's tofu?

Ji Guozhi saw that it was not good to do it like this, and decisively on the eleventh attempt, he grabbed the basketball and turned around and threw it, and he succeeded at the first time. Johnson made it clear that it was deliberate.

Scarlett. Johnson stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, this girl was really bold enough, she actually took the initiative to come up and give the little fox a bear hug, and then stood on tiptoe and kissed Ji Guosha, of course, on the cheek!

"Slut!" Taylor. Swift at the moment and Emma far away on the continent. Watson said at the same time, and the two looked at Scarlett. Johnson suddenly became uncomfortable.

"Little guy, my sister likes to watch you play, if you want to invite me to dinner after the game, remember to call." Scarlett. Johnson whispered in Ji Guoyi's ear, the little fox's heart fluttered, and he suddenly remembered the story of the bath madman Durant, this black widow is not an ordinary character.

"My girlfriend and I are both fans of yours, and we'll treat you to dinner together another day." Ji Guoyan is much more reliable than the giant panda at this time, and the latter must not know how to refuse to seduce, but in the end, he really drank the bath water of Black Widow, so he must not make Durant jealous to death?
