The fifth match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Hornets returns to the Lakers' home court. This game is not to be lost for the Hornets. They have been given a match point by the Lakers, and they will die directly if they lose another game. The Hornets have no choice now. Only by grabbing this away game and returning to the home court in the sixth game can they have a chance to turn the tables and continue to stay in the playoffs stage.

The two teams have played four games, and there is no secret between each other. Not to mention the Lakers, even the Clippers already know that if you want to defeat the Hornets, you must defeat Paul first. As long as you can limit Paul, the Hornets will definitely lose!

Chris Paul gave out 98 assists in 9 playoff games, more than half of the team's total. The team's offensive system relies on him. Looking back at the 9 games in the Hornets this time, Paul's worst performance was the third series against the Suns. Behind his 14-point and 9 assists, his poor touch of 4 of 18 shots, and this is also the only game lost in the first round. Including the game against the Lakers, Chris Paul's performance was remarkable in the 5 wins of the Hornets.

In addition to over-reliance on Chris Paul, the New Orleans' weak substitute is another weakness.

In the game when the Hornets lost to the Suns, Pago's 30-point personal playoff score high seemed to save face for the Hornets' bench. However, judging from the playoff time, Pago is more like the main player than Paterson. Even if Pago is listed as the team's sixth super man, all the Hornets' substitute players averaged only 23 points in nine playoff games.

Paul and West, two All-Star players, have to play more than 40 minutes of each game, which makes the Hornets' substitute a lot easier. However, if the main player is in poor condition, it is difficult to expect someone on the Hornets' bench to take on the heavy responsibility.

The Lakers will hope to continue their strong performance at home today. As long as they win another game, they will completely eliminate the Hornets; the Hornets will urgently need a victory to recover. Paul needs more help from his teammates. They hope to return to home, so this game cannot be lost.

David West made two jump shots in the middle distance after the opening, and Peterson scored 3 points in the bottom corner, and the Hornets scored a 9:0** at the beginning.

Kobe made a foul after the timeout and made all three free throws. David West, who was in excellent form, made two more jump shots, and the Hornets continued to lead. The performance of the core of New Orleans inside was just beginning. In the last three minutes of the first quarter, West made three consecutive attacks. The Hornets led by 7 points in the first quarter with 25:18. David West scored 14 points in 7 of 9 shots in this quarter.

In the second quarter, Walton scored 3 points in a row, and he led the team to a 6-0 attack wave, and the Lakers scored only one point away.

As expected, the Hornets were not as good as the substitute, Scott had to replace the main player in advance to stabilize the situation. However, Walton and Laoyu were fully fired in this quarter, and even West continued the good touch in the first quarter. Unfortunately, Paul performed poorly today, and Kobe scored five points in a row before the end of the half. The Lakers overtook 46:44.

Kobe scored 10 points and 5 assists in the first half, Walton and Fisher of the Old Fish scored 10 points each, Gasol scored 4 points and 11 rebounds; West of the Hornets scored 22 points and 7 rebounds, Paul scored 6 points and 6 assists, and Peterson and Stojakovic each scored 6 points.

David West and Tyson Chandler each scored two points after the start of the third quarter. Paul recovered from form and scored 7 points. They led the team to a 11:2 attack wave, and the Hornets overtook 7 points 55-48.

The Lakers were stunned by the attack wave of the Hornets who fought back. After the timeout, the Lakers' offense still did not improve. Peja hit two 3 points on the left wing, and he led the team to another 8:0 attack wave. The Hornets led 62-48. By the end of the third quarter, the Hornets had already led the Lakers by 15 points 73:58.

After the start of the last quarter, the two teams played several attacks, and the game went into a stalemate. Tyson Chandler sent three blocks in the last quarter and five blocks in the whole game, freezing the Los Angeles Times's just boasted by the Shark Bynum, David West beat Gasol, and the Lakers' inside line was completely beaten by the Hornets in the last quarter!

The Hornets, in desperate situation, performed well today, and the Lakers' players were in a downturn, especially their strong inside line was completely defeated by the unknown Hornets' inside line, which made it difficult for the proud Lakers fans to accept.

Kobe fell into a one-on-one state in the last quarter. Although Pan made consecutive hits, the Lakers were still 8 points behind at 77:85 in the last 4 minutes and 55 seconds.

Chris Paul made two consecutive layups at the critical moment. The Hornets led 89:77 at 3 minutes and 20 seconds before the final game. At the last moment, the Lakers were unable to turn the tables and they lost 81:102.

David West scored 39 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, Paul scored 20 points and 14 assists, Peterson scored 12 points, Pago 10 points, Stoyakovic scored 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Tyson Money Deller scored 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Kobe Bryant scored 28 points for the Lakers, 13 of which were obtained in the fourth quarter, but his teammates performed poorly. Paul Gasol made only 5 of 16 shots, only 13 points and 5 rebounds, Lamar Odom made 2 of 10 shots, scored 6 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Andrew Bynum scored 5 points and 8 rebounds, Walton Jr. 13 points, and Fisher of the Old Fish 11 points.

The Lakers contributed an ugly game to home fans today. Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom both were in a foul crisis. They were trapped and fouled throughout the game, and their playing time dropped sharply. The two of them added up to score just as much as their fouls.

Odom was sent off for six fouls before the final game, and Bynum was stagnant for five fouls. Such performance was not an ordinary sluggish. Even Paul Gasol, their Spanish insider who performed well in the regular season, did not pass the performance today, and it can be said that it was just as bad!

After the game, the Los Angeles Times titled "The inside line has become the weak point of the team, what should the Lakers use to compete with twin brothers?

The total score becomes 3:2. The Lakers will go to the sixth away match in the next game. If they lose again, the two teams will tie. At that time, the Hornets will be in great spirits. Whether the Lakers can hold the last home game will have to be a big question mark?

Magic Johnson followed the trend and criticized the team's inside line after the game. He believed that against the Hornets, perhaps the Lakers do not need the "Big Three" (Kobe, Gasol, Odom) to exert all their power, but what if the opponent is the Clippers or the Celtics? That is the real enemy of the Lakers this season.

Whether it is the Clippers or the Celtics, they are all similar "Big Three" or even "Big Four" configurations, and their lineup configuration is not worse than the Lakers. If the Lakers meet them, the most worrying thing is undoubtedly the inside. The Clippers' twins and Kevin Garnett of the Celtics' inside are both stronger than the Lakers' inside. They are also the core link of the team's offensive and defensive system. If Odom, Bynum and Gasol can only play like this today, it will undoubtedly be disastrous for the Lakers.

Kobe's performance may be enough to help the team pass the second round of the playoffs, but if he still thinks about the championship, he has to rely on Gasol, Odom and Bynum to play at a high level. Looking at the performance of the twins in these two rounds of the game, the Lakers must adjust their mindset at this time, and they have no advantage at all against the Clippers.

The sixth game between the Lakers and the Hornets will be held on May 14. The Clippers now find that they advance too early is not a good thing, starting from the 8th that they eliminated the Jazz. If the Lakers and the Hornets play in Game 7, they will have to rest for about 10 days. This will make their state unpredictable at that time. 10 days is enough for tm to take a vacation, and the domestic National Day holiday is only seven days. Although resting for so long can give them an absolute physical advantage, if they lose their game state, it may not be a good thing.

The Clippers have no game to play during this period, so the players can only focus on training, but they cannot do it all. Therefore, Ji Guochou found that he had more time to play games with the little carrots, which was a good thing for him.

On May 13, Ji Guoqiu was online with Emma Roberts. He didn't notice that something was wrong with the shredded radish these days. The latter hesitated for a long time and suddenly plucked up the courage to look at Ji Guoqiu and asked, "Kristen is your girlfriend, right?"

When Ji Guoqiu heard this, cold sweat broke out. He never thought that a big mouth girl would suddenly ask him this question. It was too sudden and he couldn't react at all.

Emma Roberts looked at him carefully, and when he saw this guy, he looked panicked and said lightly: "It seems to be true. Recently, I have seen a lot of news about you in magazines."

"This...this..."

Ji Guochou felt that things were too sudden. He had not thought about how to deal with this matter, nor had he prepared an excuse to deal with this tense situation. Now he was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head.

Emma Roberts saw his panic-inspired look and shook his head: "Are you anxious? Look at your face full of sweat. I have already guessed that you have a girlfriend." At this point, Emma Roberts paused, stared at his eyes and said: "But I can't guess what exactly you think?"

Ji Guochou was a little unsure what she meant, so he put down the handle and looked at her with a silly face.

Emma Roberts also put down the handle, picked up a magazine beside him and handed it to Ji Guochou, and said, "I saw this in the morning. I saw the news about you and Christine a few months ago. I didn't want to ask you directly because I felt you felt your feelings. But recently there are more and more scandals about you, which makes me a little uncertain about my feelings. Maybe my feelings are wrong..."

Ji Guoqiu was a little confused. Emma Roberts's words turned and beat him up, making him not know how to interfere, but he couldn't say anything now. This kind of scene was really bad!

"Are she forcing me to confess? How do I answer? What should I do if you are there or not? Help!" Ji Guoqiu thought of the dead fox when he had no choice and tried to shout in his heart.

"You are lucky, I happen to be online. Don't tell me if you don't hear what the big-mouthed Loli said? You know, even Taylor Swift recently asked me about you and Christine. You are so high-profile. How could that big-mouthed Loli not know? In fact, I think she can't help asking you now. This entry is incredible. My suggestion, you'd better confess to others, don't always think about stepping on two ships, or when the ship is destroyed and people are dead, don't blame me for not warning you." Ji Guomeng was watching a movie with Taylor Swift at this time, and smiled at the little singer: "Do you know, my brother has been miserable recently. He stepped on two ships and probably died miserably! But he deserves it!"

Taylor Swift pulled an orange aside and asked after hearing this, "Then have you learned from your brother?"

Ji Guomo immediately smiled and said, "It's a joke. I don't have time to complete such a complicated task. By the way, I'll give you a gift."

Taylor Swift watched Ji Guomeng walk to the door and took out a small red box like a ring box from his hanging backpack. His face turned red in an instant, and he was shocked!

"Display it apart."

"This... is it too fast?"

"Fast? Yes, it's really fast and expensive!"

"I...I want to think about it...give me a day."

After Taylor Swift said this, his face turned redder, which made Ji Guomeng feel strange. Can a car be so excited? Have you still have to think about it for one day?

※ ※ ※ ※ ※

Ji Guoqiu's expression was very similar to Taylor Swift's current expression, both of whom were at a loss, which made Emma Roberts's face dark.

"Do you like her very much?" asked Emma Roberts.

"This...this..." Ji Guochou really didn't know how to answer at this moment.

"You should always say something, then I'll ask you, do you like me?" Emma Roberts was forced to do it. Seeing Ji Guoqie hesitate and didn't say anything, Little Radish Shredded also took the initiative and gave the giant panda a single move.

Ji Guochou reacted quickly this time and said without thinking: "I like it!"

Both of them turned a little red in an instant. Emma Roberts didn't know what to say. After a long period of disarray, Ji Guochou's thinking ability recovered a little. He said, "Sorry, Emma, ​​this magazine is right. I have been dating Christine for a long time. I didn't know you yet. The reason why I didn't tell you is that I haven't figured out how my relationship with Christine will develop in the future."

Emma Roberts nodded and tried to ask, "I want to ask you an offensive question."

Ji Guoqiu didn't even think about it: "You ask."

"I want to know, was it you who chased her on your own initiative, or was she chasing you?"

"This..." Ji Guoqiu's face was not very natural, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Can I not answer this question?"

Emma Roberts suddenly smiled. The little beauty's mouth was indeed a little bigger, and she could probably stuff a big steamed bun. The shredded radish looked very happy: "I understand, she was chasing you!"

Ji Guomo was lamenting in the giant panda's heart: "Boss, I can only say that you are awesome. It seems that there are girls who are going to chase you back. Why can't I encounter such a good thing? Are these two girls both mentally retarded? Please God, just give me such a mentally retarded girl..."

Taylor Swift was holding the box and looking left and right at this time, and he was really stupid and a bit stupid.
