Chapter 274 What did you discuss secretly?
"Squeak!" The basketball was rubbed by Ji Guomeng's slender middle finger. After being subjected to force, the basketball fell down halfway through the force. The ball was obviously blocked!
Gasol got the basketball, but the offensive time was used up this time, the red light of the timer lighted up, and the Lakers violated the rules in 24 seconds.
"You are the handsomest!" Taylor Swift shouted loudly on the sidelines.
Emma Watson stood up and applauded hard. She originally planned to watch one game, but the Clippers seemed addicted to it. So she did not return to the UK as originally planned, but saw it all the time since the second round. Today she witnessed Ji Guomo and completed an extraordinary performance. The shame suffered by the Lakers' goal may be a lingering fear when mentioned in decades. Ji Guomo's series of blocks just now will definitely become a wonderful shot that will be played repeatedly in major highlights in the future.
After landing, Kobe covered his back with a painful expression, and the Lakers doctor rushed to the court immediately.
"I'm going, I didn't touch him. You all saw it. He fell down by himself, it has nothing to do with me!" Ji Guomo was so scared that he was as scared as if he had seen the old lady who touched the car. This expression was deliberately leaked at first glance, which made Lakers fans react and curse this bastard loudly. This behavior of taking advantage and acting like a good person is not human at all!
Kobe said in his heart: "I'm planning a master!" The little Peter Pan is actually not that painful now, but Kobe knew that if he pretends like this, he will be completely unable to get over the face. Now the little Peter Pan is trying to hypnotize himself: "I am injured and he has the opportunity to take advantage of... I am covered because of the injury of the back, so I am covered... That guy's blocking is completely luck... Has I been covered?"
Although someone attempted to hypnotize himself, the morale of the tragic Lakers suddenly dropped by 100% in the face of Ji Guomo's shocking super three-kill.
The tactics arranged by Zen masters before. They are now without the confidence to complete them. No one dares to rush towards Ji Guohuo to cause damage. They don’t want to repeat Kobe’s mistakes! Think about it, even Kobe was defeated in a crushing defeat. They don’t want to show off. Now they don’t have to take responsibility if they do nothing. Besides, even if they succeed, doesn’t that seem to Kobe incompetent?
So, just keep a low profile at this moment, with Kobe and Gasol following it, we are role players, this is not the time for us to perform, this is what the Lakers players think at this moment, Phil Jackson can also guess something, after all, he also came from the players.

On May 18, 2008, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers played the second match in the Western Conference Finals. Originally, everyone thought it was a match between Mars and Earth. Judging from the first half, although the Lakers were behind in the score, Kobe had not yet shown his power. The Lakers will definitely counterattack in the second half.
But the result was shocked by a large number of neutral fans' chins. Kobe's back injury relapsed and was killed by Ji Guohun three times in a row. He had to leave the court for treatment after half of the third quarter. Although Kobe returned with full blood in the last quarter and scored 12 points in a single quarter, it could no longer stop the Clippers from stealing a victory at the Lakers' home court and tied the total score to 1:1.
Ji Guoqiu scored 9 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomi had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, Billups scored 24 points and 4 assists, Artest had 11 points and 5 rebounds, Mobri had 9 points, James Percy had 7 points, and Thomas had 5 points.
Kobe scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Gasol scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, Fisher scored 8 points and 4 assists, Odom scored 10 points and 3 rebounds, Famal scored 8 points, Radmanovic scored 5 points, Walton scored 6 points, Bynum scored 4 points and 4 rebounds.
Charles Barkley said after the game that the Lakers had many reasons for their defeat. Ji Guohun's key shot and the shocking three blocks were the most important factors. For example, Kobe's poor feel, in addition to his iron shots in the last quarter, it is obvious that there is another thing that should be paid attention to, that is, their defense is not good. In the second game, they not only failed to defend Ji Guohun, but also allowed Billups to score more than 20 points. The Lakers must make some improvements in defense to strive for the third game victory.
Lakers coach Feier Jackson told the media after the game: "We did not perform too badly in the first half, and it is obvious that there are many reasons for losing. It is unacceptable to lose 31 points in the second quarter."
Magic Johnson believes that they have not protected the rebounds well: "They must reduce the Clippers' second offensive scores, and pay special attention to avoiding the twins' patches." The Magic said that, but in fact, the twins' patches are just a microcosm of the Lakers' defensive disadvantage. They allowed the Clippers to grab 49 rebounds, and after missed the shot, the Clippers grabbed 30% of the offensive rebounds, which was enough to cause fatal damage to the Lakers.
In addition to rebounds, there are other things that bring damage to the Lakers, such as Billups, who had been expected before the game. Mr. Key used his speed to continuously break through the two point guards of the Lakers, causing tons of damage to the Lakers.
The Lakers hope that Famal will curb Billups, but he cannot keep an eye on Mr. Key after the opponent's cover. Ji Guoqiu's cover quality is very good, and the Fox brother's cover is not bad either. The two took turns playing pick-and-roll with Billups. The Lakers, like the Jazz, could not stand it.
Da Bendan of the Los Angeles Times believes that the Lakers must find a way in defense. Billups scored in front of Fisher many times. After the twins were double-teamed, Artest and Percy also got more opportunities on the weak side. The Lakers' rotation defense also encountered some problems, which allowed Artest and Percy and Mobley to score a lot of points.
Fisher said after the game: "You can't just let the twins and Billups control the defense. You have to try to find opportunities to compress space and reduce the opportunities of the opponent, otherwise it means letting the rest of their shots. I think this is part of the game, we have to find ways to weaken other players' offenses. The Western Conference Finals won't be a winner anytime soon, we'll find a lot of problems in it and solve these problems, which will make us stronger."
Da Bendan said that defending Artest and Mobley is also a matter that the Lakers need to consider. They are both possible scorers. Apart from Kobe, the Lakers lack effective defensive weapons, they may consider letting Ariza play to defend Artest, but for most of the time they still have to use Kobe, Vujasic and Walton. Because these three people have stronger scoring ability. What lineup should they send? This requires the coaching ability of the Zen master in the postgraduate entrance examination.
Even if the Lakers lose, the media still put most of their attention on them after the game. So how will the Clippers, who are winning the game, adjust?
The so-called "soldiers come to block the water and soil" is the Clippers' inside players who have their own magic weapons, which is a tough style.
Ji Guoqiu said after the match: "Although Gasol scored a lot of points in this game, I think we played very tough in this game, and I look forward to a tougher third game."
As Artest, who often plays guest players in the interior, he speaks out the "critical points" of Gasol and Odom without hesitation. Of course, this guy is probably bragging about himself in disguise. After winning the ball, the beast said: "I think Lamar Odom and Paul Gasol's performances cannot win enough respect. They are not tough enough in these playoff games."
Although the Clippers lost in the first game, the Lakers were at a disadvantage in the inside confrontation. The twins made Paul Gasol suffer a lot in the inside. Although he scored a lot of points in the second game, the team lost, and the media still had low evaluations of Gasol, especially the rebounding was continued to be dominated by the Clippers.
Gasol's teammate, Turiav, who didn't play much, excuses Espanyol: "This is a basketball game, you have to see. Ji Guomeng scored a lot of goals in the first half, so there is no chance for Paul to grab rebounds."
On May 19, the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals continued in Boston, with the Detroit Pistons rebounding strongly. Hamilton, Wallace and Brand all sent key points at critical moments, leading the Pistons to defeat the Boston Celtics 103:97 away. The Pistons tied the total score to 1:1, and the third game between the two sides will be moved to Detroit.
Ray Allen stood up to express his determination after the last game continued to be sluggish, and his condition in this game improved significantly.
In the first half, the Celtics entered the second half with a 7-point disadvantage. The Celtics had a bad prospect. At this time, Allen finally stood up and announced that the Celtics launched a counterattack frenzy with a mid-range shot. In this quarter, Ray Allen once made a layup with one-stop steals, scored 6 points for two attacks and free throws. The Celtics caught up with the score in the first half of the third quarter and overtook.
It is not difficult to see how important Ray Allen's firepower is to the Celtics. It can be said that Ray Allen played his best game since the Eastern Conference semi-finals with the Cavaliers. He made 9 of 16 shots in the whole game, 2 of 4 shots from outside the three-point line, and made no mistakes in five free throws. He also hit a three-pointer at the last moment, allowing the Celtics to see the dawn of a reversal.
It can be said that big3, which had been difficult to form a joint force in this game, finally showed its power in the same game.
Paul Pierce has been in a fierce momentum after fighting against LeBron James in the last round. In this game, he made 9 of 16 shots and scored the team's highest score of 26 points, and another 5 assists. Kevin Garnett also continued to stabilize, making 11 of 19 shots, scoring a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds.
But what is a bit puzzling is that the three giants finally fired three arrows at once to form a joint force, and the Celtics finally lost the victory. Could it be that Lei Allen is the legendary team poison?
Otherwise, the Boston fans who have been clamoring for big3's disappointment have fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, as long as the three-headed monsters play, they will be able to win. Perhaps this logic is quite reliable in the regular season or when facing weaker opponents, but when facing difficult players like the Pistons, big3 is not all.
In addition to these three, the Celtics' winning key is also defense, and the latter is even more important than the former. This game is a good example. The Pistons, who only scored 79 points in the last game, suddenly increased the score to 103 points, which shows that there was a big problem with the Celtics' defense.
Ray Allen is by no means a poison to the team. The Celtics are eager to return to their former sharpshooters quickly, just like in today's game, but the premise is that the Celtics still have to defend, defend, and then defend, which is their lifeblood.
The first two games of the East and West Finals were all played. The Lakers vs. Clippers and Celtics vs. Pistons all tied 1:1. The teams with home advantage will have to go through three away games in a row. If the Clippers and Pistons make good use of their three away games in a row, they are likely to have strong match points or even eliminate their opponents directly. You should know that in this year's playoffs, the home teams are very strong, and few teams lose at home.
Of course, the three home courts of the Clippers are sometimes not that big. Although the Clippers' senior management has thought of many ways, they still cannot stop the Lakers fans lurking in and making trouble. 80% of the residents of Los Angeles are Lakers fans, which greatly reduces the Clippers' home advantage.
Ji Guomeng jumped out the day before the third game of the game, yelled again: "Even if Lakers fans come in to make trouble, we are not afraid. Don't ask me why? We can win the game away, let alone the home court?"
The fox was arrogant outside, but when he got home, he almost knelt on the washboard. Emma Watson congratulated him on the winning game text message was seen by Taylor Swift and drove him to the sofa last night, otherwise he would not have so much energy to start talking two days before the game.
The third game between the Clippers and the Lakers was on May 21, with two days off in between.
"Damn, I didn't cheat, but it was so troublesome. You guy cheated openly, but you lived so well." Ji Guomomoto saw Taylor Swift getting angry and ran back to his real home, but in the end he happened to interfere with the good things of a giant panda.
In the afternoon, Ji Guomeng suddenly came home. As soon as he opened the door, he found Ji Guoqiu and Emma Roberts were kissing each other on the sofa while kissing each other. Then he looked at the large lip marks on the giant panda's face, which was simply unbearable!
"Why are you coming back if you're fine?" Ji Guochou saw Emma Roberts's face turned red, he jumped up and ran away quickly, so angry that he wanted to dismember Ji Guomo Wuma.
"Splitting my five horses into pieces? The bastard is so cruel? I didn't mean to ruin your good deeds, I couldn't help myself. I was driven back by someone, and I was so heartbroken that I didn't feel telepathy." Ji Guomori explained with a licking face.
"By the way, you said if I moved out completely, would you live directly with that girl? What should I do with the Twilight Girl? Didn't he doubt you?"
"This... I'm not sure... But I didn't neglect her. Although it's a bit shameless to say this, I don't know what to do. I understand Kobe a little now. You really shouldn't be sowed about other people's relationship with each other."
Ji Guomo was amused by him: "I just replied to one post. If they could break them apart, it means that their relationship was not reliable. Didn't the newspaper say that Kobe and Vanessa did not have a divorce or other emotional crisis?"
Ji Guochou suddenly waved to the dead fox and said, "Good brother, do me a favor, I will do you a favor, so we..."
I don’t know what bad things to pay attention to when the giant panda thought about it. The two began to whisper together, gestured from time to time, and discussed quietly. Occasionally, there were lewd laughter. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
