Chapter 250 It's not intentional

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers' lineup: Billups, Mobri, Garcia, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqie.

Jazz lineup: Deron Williams, Kyle Korver, Matt Haplin, Mill Sap, Carlos Boozer.

After the twin brothers came on the court, they firmly played pick-and-roll cooperation on the offensive end. One person took action, and the other went to the basket to pick up the bullets that the opponent had lost and stuffed them back into the gun chamber. In terms of human words, they would grab the frontcourt rebounds to make a second attack.

In short, no matter who attacks, the other one must rush to the basket to compete for the frontcourt rebounds. This has become the basic tactic, or instinct of the Clippers. If they do not use their height and physical advantages, that is the coach's incompetence. Old Dunleavy is not so low.

The three inside players of the Jazz and their pick-and-roll defense made Sloan very anxious. The Clippers' lineup restrains the Jazz not only in defense, but also indignant in their pick-and-roll attacks. The Utahs' tactics are best at this moment taken by the enemy to deal with themselves, and they are also very effective. The face was beaten and swollen.

The Clippers played pick-and-roll tactics in the inside of the Jazz, and their efficiency was amazing. During the stalemate between the two sides, they gradually opened up the gap by relying on their efficient pick-and-roll offenses, and the Jazz was about to cry.

After Billups and Ji Guomeng's pick-and-roll were separated, they immediately took a step back and made a strong three-pointer, widening the gap between the two teams to 7 points.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "Kenny, you know, the Jazz are not only slow to defend the pick-and-roll in the interior, but their point guard is also a fat guy, the team that is best at playing pick-and-roll. Instead, it is not suitable for defending the pick-and-roll. I am silent for three minutes for the poor Jazz."

Kenny Smith also laughed: "The Jazz are definitely not the only way to defend against pick-and-roll. Front court rebounds, fast breaks, control mistakes, outside shooting, defense..." Kenny Smith said, unable to help spreading his hands: "Man, to be honest, if the Rockets Yao Ming was not injured and reimbursed, the Jazz would definitely not enter the second round. This year's Utahs look strong, but in fact they are very mediocre, which can be seen from their stalemate game with the Civilian Rockets."

Deron Williams seemed to have fought his life in this game. The little fat man's signature spin is extremely powerful. Just imagine that a fat man who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs nearly 220 pounds is spinning there. This is not something that ordinary players can defend against. Thanks to Billups, he is also a strong point guard. If he changes to the ordinary point guard, he has been spinning his butt at a high speed, and I don't know where he has gone.

Billups actually couldn't withstand Deron Williams' impact. He might have been able to do it when he was young, but now he is not young. He can do it with each other, so let's just let it go. The key is that Mr. Deron Williams dribbled in again this time. The fat guy quickly threw the blue ball outside the penalty area before Ji Guomeng made up for defense. After a wonderful breakthrough, he scored two points on the board and landed.

"Referee, this guy used his butt to commit crimes throughout the game. Isn't this kind of breakthrough considered hitting people?" Ji Guomori took the opportunity to interfere with Delong Williams with his trash words.

The referee was too lazy to pay attention to him and refused to answer at all. He turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

The Jazz players were gloating at this time. Boozer originally wanted to come up and mock him, but when he thought of the fox's next counterattack, the anti-bone quickly extinguished the idea.

It would be nice if this dead fox didn't come to cause trouble for him, so it would be better not to provoke him.

The Clippers' offense has reached a critical moment, and both sides have to play success rate. In other words, this is the time for the stars to perform. The team gives you 10 million or 20 million a year, which is to allow you to show your ability at such critical moments to help the team win.

"Boss, I feel very upset now. You are two million, I am one million, and even the top deal Almi Johnson earns more than three million, but at this time the most important and easiest job to take the blame will be done by the two of us. I feel very unhappy!"

"I'm not happy with your nonsense. Who made our draft pick so low? The most embarrassing position at the end of the first round. It's better to drop directly to the second round and sign a two-year contract, so we can wait for the price."

"No, it seems that the second contract of the second round pick cannot be signed with a maximum salary, so you can only get a middle class. How can you buy it?"

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense!"

The two of them accidentally raised the issue of money in their hearts. In this regard, they were highly consistent. Teams in the league envied the Clippers for having two such cheap cores, which was unique in the entire NBA history. Can you imagine Duncan and Nowitzki playing together, but they only received three million in salary together? The Clippers now have this meaning.

Ji Guoqiu received the ball at the low post this time and was preparing to play Carlos Boozer alone at the low post.

Jazz players chose to enter the inside double-team. Ji Guochou attracted double-team and immediately assigned the blue ball to the outside. The Clippers players quickly transferred the ball to find a suitable shooting opportunity.

At this time, Ji Guomeng ran out of an open shooting opportunity through a erratic off-ball running position, and received a pass from Billups to quickly make the mid-range distance. This was a picturesque shot with obvious backwards. The Fox brother sent the blue ball into the basket with a chic shooting posture amid the cheers of the fans of the court.

Kenny Smith couldn't help but exclaim after his brother Fox shot the basketball in a chic manner: "No matter which direction you block, this difficult tilt shot will give you a chance to get frustrated. For defensive players, the opponent's shots hit the ball the most hits."

"When your opponent has a height advantage, you'd better prepare a B plan, such as changing one's tall player on your side," said Charles Barkley.

Sloan seemed to hear Barkley's words, and soon replaced Mill Sap and replaced Memit Oku.

Old Dunleavy also replaced all his main players, and the game entered the last six minutes, with a score of 92:86, and the Clippers still led by 6 points.

This time, Sloan called a long timeout for the substitution. Of course, he must not have called a timeout just for the substitution. Jazz players are not as physically as Clippers players. Sloan must use 60 seconds to let his players take a breath.

Unfortunately, the Jazz has suspended this time. Still can't come up with a real solution to the problem. The Clippers' twins are still two black holes. The Jazz is unable to block these two black holes even if they try their best. They may even reveal more loopholes.

Old Dunleavy has a lot more methods, which has nothing to do with the coaching ability of the two coaches, and is completely a disadvantage in the lineup.

After Percy came on the court, he continued to slap Korver; Billups beat Deron Williams; Artest and Kirirenko also exploded on the defensive end; the remaining twins joined forces to kill the Jazz inside; the final result was that the Clippers always had the advantage on the field.

Perhaps the Jazz can only pray for the return of Carlos Boozer's form. If the anti-bone regained the state of the playoffs last season and became the inside line that could break out with Duncan. They might also have the possibility of winning this game. But the unfortunate news for the Utah Jazz is that their Boozer not only did not return, but was captured by Ji Guomo from the air in a strong attack on the inside after the game restarted.

Carlos Boozer obviously did not stand firm after landing, and twisted his ankle. This was where his old injury was. The game stopped for two minutes because the guy fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

Ji Guomeng did not deliberately hurt Boozer this time. The Jazz played a wonderful match with this goal, and Ji Guomeng seemed to have no time to stop him. So he chose to send Boozer to the free throw line. So since he wanted to send his opponent to the free throw line, he must be ruthless this time. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to be beaten 2 plus 1 at a time.

Unexpectedly, Carlos Boozer, a easily injured guy, actually sprained his ankle.

"The guys on the other side looked at me with malicious eyes. Boss, I think Boozer is easily injured. It is entirely because of his own physical condition. His waist and abdomen are not strong enough, his balance ability is poor, and his weight is too high. Naturally, he is easily injured. For example, the little shark raised by our neighbor has the same physique."

"It doesn't matter, let them glar. You won't get pregnant. No matter how malicious their eyes are, they dare not do anything to you. This is our home court."

Ji Guomo was excited when he heard this and immediately glared at the Jazz player without any worries.

The action of Ji Guomeng blocking Boozer from behind was played on the big screen on the scene. It is undeniable that Ji Guomeng made a big foul this time, but it seems far-fetched to say that he was a malicious foul. He went completely for the ball. Several referees repeatedly watched slow motion in front of the technical table, and after negotiation, they made a penalty for technical foul.

Ji Guomo felt that it was no big deal. He would not suspend the game until seven times in the playoffs. This was his second technical foul, and it was still in a very safe range!

Boozer was directly helped back to the locker room. Seeing him limping, he was obviously not in a minor injury. Maybe this year's playoff journey ended here.

Old Dunleavy called a timeout at this time. He thought that Ji Guomo's foul was a long-planned conspiracy. Who told him that he was always so cunning in normal times? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a "villain", so most people will think that he deliberately caused Boozer to be the match. And not only does the Jazz players think, but even the Clippers fans and even the Clippers players and coaches think so.

"Why do you all look at me with this perspective? You don't think I did it on purpose, right?" Ji Guomomi saw that his teammates' eyes were not right. These guys really thought they did it on purpose. He and Boozer had no deep hatred. There must be small actions, but he would not be crazy and hurt the other party.

Old Dunleavy clapped his palms: "Whether it was intentional or not, their inside core has already left the field. After the timeout, we will focus on the inside. But everyone should be careful of their actions, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. Now the referee is likely to find a balance, and be careful not to be made of offensive fouls on the offensive end."

The Jazz basically only had three rotations in the inside line. After Carlos Boozer left the court, Mill Sap was replaced. Apart from that, there was no one else available to the Jazz.

Boozer's injury gave Jazz players a sense of shared hatred. After the game started again, they played harder on the offensive end.

The referee on the court, just as old Dunleavy expected, began to find balance on the court, and the harshness instantly turned to the Jazz. This was really like tofu, and they would slide to the side wherever they were lower.

The referee is not just the reason for Boozer's injury. Boozer's end is just an introduction. The league does not want any team to be swept by zero to four. After Carlos Boozer's exit, the Jazz's inside strength dropped drastically and they completely lost the strength to compete with the Clippers. This is the reason why the referees began to find a balance.

The Clippers fans in the Staples Arena gradually became dissatisfied, and they made various curses at the referee!

After the timeout, the referee turned a blind eye to the Jazz players' foul actions, but began to pick on the Clippers players. Not long ago, he actually blew a Billups a foul. The league began to ignore this foul a few years ago. Even in international competitions, the referees did not blew the wrists in the Olympics. This was to make the game more coherent and increase the enthusiasm of the audience. But the referee's current style of playing is clearly aimed at the Clippers and did not want the Clippers to get a three-to-zero lead.

In the fourth quarter, 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the score was 94:94, and the two teams tied.

Ji Guochou scored 14 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomomiya scored 28 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Billups scored 9 points and 5 assists, Mobri scored 15 points, Artest scored 12 points, and James Percy scored 8 points.
