On May 3, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz played their second game.

After the first game, Dunleavy found the reason for his team's winning goal, and Sloan was not idle either. The Clippers not only won on rebounds, free throws and substitutes. Sloan felt that the inside line composed of twins was the key!

In this game, Ji Guoqiu scored wildly in the first three quarters, hitting them so hard that they were urinating. However, by the fourth quarter, the Fox made 1 of 5 shots in the last quarter, and the score of the free throw alone was enough to illustrate this. But at the critical moment, Ji Guoqiu was not ruthless. He took over the scoring task in the second and fourth quarters of the Fox brother's fire-off stage.

Ji Guoqiu scored not much in the whole game, but at a critical moment, he continued the Clippers' firepower, ensuring continuous output, and playing a role like a stabilizing needle.

I believe that when I was eliminated, McGrady saw this situation, she sighed: Why can't I enjoy such treatment?

At the pre-match press conference, Sloan said in front of the media: "My players did not play firmly in the last game at the basket offense. This is not our style. How can we be afraid of physical contact at the basket when fighting a team like the Clippers? We cannot give up the inside offense and want to avoid physical contact. The consequence of doing this must be timid and in the end nothing can be done. In the first game, we did not play a game that satisfies the fans of Salt Lake City. We put away our muscles, so we can only blame ourselves if we lose the game. But tonight my players will act like men. They must be harder to let their opponents know that this is our home court."

Jazz No. 1 star Delon Williams also said: "We must be attacking and aggressive. This is the playoffs. Every attack must be tough! When the Clippers double-team me, I can pass the ball to my teammates. But if my teammates don't score the next time, then our trouble will be great, and our pitchers must improve their sight." Delon Williams' words pointed at Kyle Korver and the outside shooters, this sharpshooter who traded from the 76ers, dropped his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs to below 30%. This performance is not only unsatisfied with Coach Sloan, but also very disappointed with Cooper's performance. Delon Williams criticized the team's pitcher and continued: "Our defense is not weaker than the Clippers. It's just that we have to make more three-pointers today, which is that simple."

Of course, Sloan and the Jazz players kept beating around the bush before the game, questioning the referee's judgment standards. The referee's too strict judgment standards in the last game cost the Jazz half their life. They were all forced by the referee. Everyone could see that they just wanted to lose the Jazz!

Kirilenko was very direct, and the Russian fired directly: "When playing against the Clippers, we feel that 5 people versus 8 people (3 referees). You should know that the Clippers are already very good. If the referee still blew the whistle that way, it would be even harder to deal with them."

TNT analyzed that although the Jazz lost in the first game, they still showed enough talent and execution of the game plan on the court. This is something the Clippers must be wary of. They may lose a good situation when they relax. The Jazz can enter the second round, not that the bean bag can be kneaded at will. Even if they have to pinch it, they must do their best to pinch it.

In the first game, the Clippers were not that easy. Sometimes the Clippers' defensive system would be penetrated by the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics, and the Jazz players would be missed during the process of changing positions. Sometimes, the Clippers' players on the field seemed to have some disagreement when teaming up defense. This point must be solved in the second game.

Charles Barkley believes that this is caused by the Clippers' constant change of starters. If there are too many changes, it will not be stable enough. Anyway, everything has its pros and cons. The Clippers need to measure the pros and cons and decide which tactics to use. If there are no more changes, blindly seeking change may not be a good thing, and everything must be moderate.

Jeff Van Gundy of estm believes that the second game between the Clippers and the Jazz will definitely play more intensely. The Jazz should formulate and execute the defensive plan better. They should appear more disciplined on the court. The Jazz may be the most vigorous and physical team in the league. The Clippers will see the Jazz make the best efforts in the second game, which will be a real challenge for the Clippers.

Mark Jackson is not optimistic about the Jazz. He believes that Carlos Boozer only scored 13 points, 9 rebounds and only blocked in the first game, and made only 4 of 16 shots in the game. This performance is not like an All-Star at all. It is undeniable that the Jazz are eager to win at home, but before such a thing really happens, it is difficult for us to predict that it will happen. Because they rely on winning double evil spirits, one of them can only play half of the state. Not to mention two twins, he can't beat any of them. To imagine 1v2 like Duncan is like a fool. Carlos Boozer can't find the state, and the Jazz's biggest possibility is to be swept! This is not an unfair worry. In fact, many fans now think that the Jazz will be swept. They are so difficult to deal with a Clippers who don't have Yao Ming and half-crippled. It is basically a dream to defeat the Black Eighth Clippers.

In short, before the game started, most commentators and experts admitted that the Jazz were indeed a team with motivation, confidence and talent, but they must realize that the Clippers they faced were also a heavyweight player, so most people predicted that the Clippers would still win in the second game. Even if the Devil in Salt Lake City was difficult to deal with at home, Boozer's sluggish performance since the first round made Salt Lake City lose some attack power at home.

The second game of the Clippers was held at 20:30 pm on May 3. When the Clippers entered the court 15 minutes before the start of the game, the Jazz fans in the audience not only made huge boos, but also a large number of monkey photos were raised. This malicious action made the live broadcast of the entire game rarely take the camera to the audience. Now racial discrimination is the most sensitive and trouble-prone thing. The league tries not to shoot insulting posters to avoid escalating the situation.

However, the excessive actions of Salt Lake City fans show that the Jazz fans really hate the twins. It also shows that they are afraid. Once they play 0:2 and lose two valuable home games, they will not believe that they want to turn the defeat into victory with the Jazz's poor away record.

In the first game, Jazz fans did not come up with such a big formation. Jazz fans only attacked the visiting team on a large scale. Unfortunately, the Americans expressed their words. They shouted in the stadium either "yellow monkeys" or "Chinese people to die". These repetitive words were really boring to Ji Guomo, but this time they heard the whole audience shouting "Clippers Bad Team"!

They didn't talk nonsense about this. The Clippers are really a bad team. They have created a terrible record of not being able to enter the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons. The best result is to reach the Western Conference semi-finals, and the best record in the history of the regular season is only a pitiful 49 wins!

Well, the twins have led the team to break this record this season. Now the Clippers' best record is the 52 wins he just created, and they have already tied the team's best record in the playoffs. The Clippers have never reached the Western Conference Finals, so it's no wonder that Lakers fans always laugh at them as the country bumpkins. Their team's history may only be stronger than the Bobcats, thanks to Boss Qiao's selflessness, who has won all kinds of worst data every year. Maybe in the future, the milestone of not entering the playoffs for 16 consecutive years will be broken.

"Boss, I think they've turned around for a few more words, but they still have no power,"

"Is that true, but I'm still very angry. These white-skinned pigs are dead niggers!"

Of course, Ji Guoqiu's words were secretly scolding in his heart. Their team was full of white pigs and dead niggers. Even the coach was just a white pig. It seemed that the two girls were the same, so it would be better not to scold them together...

The Clippers' tactics today are different from the previous game. In the last game, Old Dunley told them not to let the Jazz grab the frontcourt rebounds, defend Williams' breakthrough, and prevent Korver from making three-pointers easily. Today it became: grab more frontcourt rebounds to create a second scoring opportunity, ensure their own outside shooting percentage, and play more quickly to counterattack...

In short, although the Clippers always emphasize that they should not underestimate the enemy, they have at least placed themselves in the position of a strong man, and have the confidence that "as long as we don't have any problems, we can win the game"!

That's right, the Clippers are now confident, not arrogant!

The confidence of Clippers players has many benefits. For example, they were beaten 28:16 by the Jazz in the first quarter today, and they were 12 points behind in a single quarter, and they still did not have the mentality of "we will lose this game". Clippers players believe that there are still three quarters left and they still have the opportunity to counterattack.

Today's game is different from the previous game. The referee finally blew the home whistle. The league wanted to kick out the Jazz with a savage style, but they didn't want the Jazz to be eliminated by being swept. Two or three games were missing in the semi-finals, and the league would suffer a lot of economic losses, so they would only help the Clippers one game. If the Clippers are still knocked out by the Jazz when they get a favorable away game, they can only blame themselves for being incompetent.

"What should we do if we want to counterattack?" Old Dunleavy asked the player after the first quarter.

"We should defend first, and then wait for the opportunity." Ji Guochou replied.

Old Dunleavy smiled: "That's right, let's do it, defend first, and then fight back!" Old Dunleavy finished speaking and looked at Ji Guomeng: "Little guy, I hope you can play the second quarter and don't be beaten down again. The referee won't keep helping us. You have to play smarter."

Ji Guomo was a little embarrassed. He sat off the court with two fouls in less than five minutes in the first quarter. Although he made a hole in Boozer's eyebrows, he said he would take at least half of the responsibility for the team 12 points behind.

"Coach, don't worry, I know what to do."

As soon as Ji Guohumiliation finished speaking, the whole team looked at him with suspicion.

This guy is unreliable, but not only Old Dunleavy knows that the whole team knows that he is prone to losing control. Poor Boozer suffers every game and is still popular today! This fox looks harmless and is really cruel to attack. The famous bad guys in the league keep suffering in his hands.

Carlos Boozer now wants to kill Ji Guomeng with one shot. In these two games, this dead fox is like having countless eyes. His secret moves did not work once, but were plotted against Ji Guomeng one after another. Now he even had his eyebrows opened, which is simply outrageous!

Charles Barkley is watching the replay of the first quarter in the live broadcast room. Most of them are Ji Guomo's tricks, and he smiled with a big butt: "Look... this fox is too cunning. He should have been born in our era. I think his two fouls would not be punished in the 1980s. Now this sport is too civilized."

Kenny Smith smiled and said, "You can't say that nowadays players fly higher and run faster, so the more they fall. If you don't limit the players' small movements, I think the genius will be reimbursed in the 21st century at least twice as many."

"So I just complained, but I observed the fox. His little movements were very sensible. We often saw his opponents bleeding or slumping on the floor, but rarely saw someone seriously injured by him. This is why he has never been severely punished by the league."

"Yes, Zach Randolph was the worst injury, but he had only had a month off. Boozer just had three stitches, which was nothing."

When Jazz fans heard this, they cursed: "Is there anyone who explained this? It's nothing to do with three stitches, you two tmd to try it."

In the second quarter, the Clippers sent Brevin Knight, Mobri, Garcia, Ji Guomeng, Tim Thomas. The Clippers have outstanding attacking capabilities in the inside line. Ji Guomeng and Thomas are both inside players who are active on the outside. The Jazz hate this type of opponent the most. They like to fight in the inside. Moving footsteps is not their advantage, and it is difficult to keep up with the big pitchers running around outside.

Thomas hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court. Ji Guohun's off-ball run attracted most of the Jazz's defense. Thomas got a shot and hit his first goal today.

The Jazz still chose to focus on Ji Guomo. Kirirenko played the No. 4 position again in the second quarter. The Russians kept pace with Ji Guomo and kept fighting to prevent him from receiving the ball. Mir Sap and Thomas had a disadvantage in their steps. In less than three minutes in the second quarter, Thomas had already scored 6 points, which made Sloan had to replace Oku in advance.

At 9 minutes and 20 seconds in the second quarter, the score was 32:24, and the Clippers narrowed the score difference to single digits in a blink of an eye.

The Jazz's offense was not effective during this period, and coach Sloan immediately replaced most of the main players, and the lineup on the court became: Deron Williams, Kyle Korver, Matt Harplin, Paul Millsap, Memet Oku.
