Chapter 294 Fake is better than nothing
On May 25, after the fifth game of the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers relied on Panda Brother's third triple-double in the playoffs, and unexpectedly defeated the Lakers, who performed equally well, and made many expert media who swore before the game, who swore their faces before the game.
Ji Guoqiu scored 27 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks in this game, Billups scored 25 points and 6 assists, Artest scored 19 points and 3 rebounds, Mobri scored 12 points, Thomas scored 11 points, Percy scored 7 points, Garcia scored 4 points, and Amir Johnson scored 2 points.
Kobe scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Gasol scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Odom scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Bynum scored 8 points, Walton scored 8 points, Fisher scored 8 points, Vujasic scored 7 points, Radmanovic scored 7 points, and Famal scored 2 points.
Although the Lakers lost, Kobe is worthy of being the core of the Lakers. He made 14 of 24 shots in the game and scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. His performance was still at the MVP level. However, in the inside, Gasol and Odom started high and ended low in the fifth game. Their performance in the fourth quarter was obviously not as good as in the first three quarters, especially in the final stage, neither of them played their due role. After the game, many media believed that it was one of the important reasons for the Lakers' loss.
This is not unfair to them. Everyone knows that if the Lakers want to defeat the Clippers, Odom and Gasol must put enough pressure on the twin brothers in the interior. As long as Odom and Gasol can find the offensive feeling together, the Lakers' chances of winning will increase greatly. However, the Lakers' three inside players, under the favorable conditions of Ji Guomeng's absence in the fifth game, still failed to limit the Panda brother's performance on the court. Instead, the latter got another large triple-double data. This is a result that Lakers fans and the media cannot understand and cannot accept.
Gasol, Odom and a little shark. If the Lakers' three inside players can't handle the joining of the twin brothers in the first four games, then that's fine. Lakers fans can still squeeze their noses to comfort themselves. The twins will have attribute bonuses. But now the three of them are together, but they can't even clean up one of them. This is a bit outrageous. Now there is only one explanation. That is, are their three inside players all waste?
Although Panda Brother was called Duncan by the media when he debuted, he was not real Duncan after all. After five games in the inside, in the eyes of Lakers fans, it can be described as "waste"!
Lakers coach Phil Jackson complained about the referee's penalty after the game. He complained: "It's almost impossible for Bryant to take 24 shots, only 2 free throws, but tonight, I think it might be such a small probability night."
The unfairness pointed out by Zen master belongs to Kobe, who did not get a few free throws in the whole game. This is the first time Kobe has been in his playoff career since 2004. The league not only does not favor the Lakers, but has quietly stumbling on the Purple and Gold Army. The rumors that the twins are actually Stern's illegitimate son seem to be more confirmed. The two brothers are not like James but have no father. They are directly orphans, and the credibility seems to be higher.
This series in the West Finals is indeed a bit difficult for Kobe. He has always had a hard time getting the chance to go to the free throw line. He only got 5 times in the first game, only 4 times in the second and third games, 3 times in the fourth game, but only 2 times today, and he also lost one. Many Lakers fans think that if this continues, Kobe may only get one free throw opportunity in the next game. If there is a seventh game, Kobe may not even get one free throw opportunity. However, in the series against the New Orleans Hornets in the West Finals, Kobe averaged up to 13 free throws per game.
Among the Lakers players, except for Kobe still strong, they performed well in the substitute, which can be said to be a big hit. The players who played on the court have basically made their contributions. This means that they lost because they lost in the inside and performed poorly. After five games, the Lakers have never gained the upper hand in the inside.
Kobe scored two 3-pointers at the last moment of the game, but unfortunately he only hit one. He failed to help the team turn the defeat into victory tonight. Kobe was a little silent after the game. When asked by reporters about the serious situation of the team, he just said in a formula: "Now we are in a dilemma of 2-3. If we lose another game, we will be eliminated, but I think as long as we do our best, we will still have a chance to come from behind."
The Clippers and the Lakers are so lifeless that old Dunleavy was very excited after the game. The team won the most important battle in Tianwang Mountain. The finals are within reach and the old coach is not allowed to be excited! Moreover, this is another achievement achieved by facing the city's arch rival and old club. He can feel that his reputation is improving all the way with the playoffs, especially in the playoffs to the division finals, and the improvement of coach reputation and player fame is simply unimaginable.
"We played well today, but defense is the most important thing, and we must maintain the advantages of this." Dunleavy paused, feeling a little arrogant, and said, "It's obvious that they have the best scorers in the league. Kobe can score anywhere on the court, so we have to try our best to stop the rest of their team from scoring. We must know what has helped us through the most difficult period." A reporter asked Dunleavy's opinion on the Clippers' promotion, and the latter smiled and said, "I can't answer you this question, but one thing is certain that when Fox returns next game, we will become stronger."
Ji Guoqiu, who was named the best player in the game in this game, said after the game: "Winning is of course the result of the whole team's efforts. The key is to maintain a strong style of play. I was blown up several fouls, but I kept calm. The whole team was not interfered by the referee's penalty, and then scored the goal that should be scored, got the rebound that should be obtained, and finally won the victory. I think the whole team was aggressive all day today, and the opponent finally counterattacked wildly at the end, but we still laughed to the end, and we had reason to be proud of ourselves."
Ji Guochou took the lead in this game today. He was not favored before the game, but he scored the second highest 27 points in the playoffs. The Chinese thought that the Chinese were also incredible. Ji Guochou touched his head and smiled: "I was surprised to get so many points today. You know. That guy was suspended and I knew that I would take on more offensive tasks than the first four games. He scored 15 points in the first half to give me confidence. Apart from that, my playing style has not changed, but I only added some shots." Ji Guochou certainly did not forget the Dead Fox and emphasized: "In today's game, my performance has a certain amount of luck, and the scoring is not what I am best at. If it is just a game, I might be able to explode, but if I want to continue to defeat the Lakers, I still have to wait for that guy to return to the team. He is our offensive core."
A certain fox was so moved that he decided to go back to sleep with his brother tonight. Ji Guochou immediately cursed in his heart: "You dare to come back and disturb me and my sister and break your legs!"
The next day, the home page of the NBA official website used a big red letter titled "Ji Guoqiu defeated his opponents in a non-American way, and the Chinese panda has become the most terrifying insider!"
Ji Guochou made the headlines of the NBA official website. He also marked it with red characters, which is considered a real All-Star treatment. Even if Kobe and others want to go to the official website headlines, they have to get a super performance of 50+ to be eligible, and the playoff requirements will be even higher.
The report mentioned that Ji Guoqiu's average score per game is not the highest in the team, but his role is irreplaceable, because only on the court can the Clippers play smooth attacks comparable to European teams. Unlike the previous games, Ji Guoqiu's role in the connection between the internal and external lines is particularly obvious today. Faced with the Lakers' constant marking and double-teaming in the interior, Ji Guoqiu is not in a hurry to rush into the interior to play for a force, but constantly looking for his teammates after asking for the ball on his back, because he knows that as long as someone comes to double-team himself, other teammates will definitely have an opportunity to shoot at an open spot.
In the whole game, Ji Guochou contributed 27 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks, but what was most surprising was that he gave 10 assists, which was even 4 more than the Clippers' point guard. Driven by Ji Guochou, the Clippers' offense was extremely smooth, and the team's assist data reached 30 times, a full 10 more times than the Lakers.
If you want to talk about the passing ability of inside players, the first thing you will think of is European center Divac. In Divac's 16-year career, he averaged 3.1 assists per game and became a representative of supportive inside players. However, if you look at Ji Guoqiu's data, you will find that his talent in passing is far higher than Divac. His average assists in the playoffs has reached 7, which is more than the point guards of the two teams, and he can be called a demon.
In the past 2007 years, Ji Guoqiu's average assists per game in the regular season was 5.1, which is scary enough. In the playoffs, his assists have been significantly increased to 7.0 per game, which is more than the main point guards of most teams. It can be seen that it is precisely because of Ji Guoqiu's outstanding overall view and passing ability that Billups can find more opportunities for breakthroughs, and Ji Guoqiu's shooting from the outside also seems extremely relaxed.
Ji Guochou's offensive ability of 16.3 points per game and rebounding ability of 14.1 per game have already made people feel terrifying. In addition, he averaged 7.0 assists per game, who can stop such a cruel giant panda?
The teams on both sides are still attending the post-match press conference. Ji Guomeng drove away with Taylor Swift. He did not play today, so he naturally did not need to attend the post-match press conference.
Taylor Swift did not drive. Ji Guomeng said that going home was pure nonsense. It would be great to live in a girl's house, and you don't have to pay the rent. Although it's a bit unbeautiful for girls to cook, you must help the singer to sign up for three or five cooking training classes to train. You must know how to cook Chinese, French, and Italian dishes, otherwise how can you take action? How can you see the big scene?
Ji Guomeng drove home in yy. After entering the door, he suddenly said to Taylor Swift: "Dear, I remember, you haven't been to my house yet, right?"
Taylor Swift wondered why he asked this and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Let's ask my brother to take his girlfriend tomorrow and let's have a meal together."
"Don't your brother have two girlfriends?"
"Yes, I want to see which guy will bring out to meet us."
Taylor Swift rolled his eyes: "Your brother is really not a good thing. I think you are twins, and maybe you are not a good thing either."
Ji Guomomoto stepped forward and hugged the little singer. A pair of thieves slipped into the girl's clothes with a familiar hand. He said shamelessly: "Go and help me put water and take a shower. Remember to take off your clothes and lay in the bathtub. I'll let you see if I'm a good thing." The dead fox said, and pinched the grapes twice, urry, and said: "It seems that you are a little bigger. You won't squeeze it out, right? Be careful that the smaller you squeeze it. I think you might as well go to breast augmentation. Although the touch feels a little worse afterwards, it's better than nothing."
After someone finished speaking, Taylor Swift's face had become as ugly as African refugees... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
