The Mavericks were captured by the away game, which was not bad news for the Clippers. After all, the Dallasians were not easy to deal with at home.●⌒,. However, such a defeat still exposed many problems to the Clippers. If you want to truly strive for the championship and continue to build the Clippers dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the Fox brother alone to perform. The championship requires the strength of the team.

Ji Guomo has understood this truth in the previous series against the Spurs. In this game, he really wants to use his personal abilities to drive his teammates to perform together. However, the Mavericks are unwilling to let him get what he wants. Carlisle obviously knows how to choose between letting him score high points or letting the entire Clippers perform.

Anyway, this fox won't win even if he scored 40 points in the third game, so in the next fourth game, the fifth game... he would just get 40+.

As the star of the Clippers and also the most attacking superstar in the league, it is reasonable that Ji Guomo was double-teamed, but the scene of two or three players who can be seen often around the "Fox Brother" is rare in today's game.

Carlisle arranged for Nowitzki, Marion and Gotat to defend against Ji Guomeng. Although they could not defend against the Fox brother, they did not deliberately double-team them. They would choose to make up for defense when Ji Guomeng broke through.

In this game, except for the players who defend Ji Guosha alone, the other players are all keeping their own eyes on their own and trying to limit the opportunities for Clippers players other than the Fox to take action easily.

This defensive tactic is to enable the Clippers to form a common "one-man team" situation this season. Even if Ji Guomother can score, he will be unable to compete with the Mavericks' strand. Although four players in this game scored more than double points, the second highest score was only 14 points, and it is difficult for them to provide strong support to the Fox brother.

Ji Guomomiya scored 45 points and 10 rebounds again in the fourth game. However, at the most critical moment, except for the Fox brother, the Clippers, all the other players' moves seemed hesitant. Neither Ray Allen nor Iguodala could have the courage to have a critical blow.

In fact, Billups should be the second key player of the Clippers. He had performed several key three-pointers in the first three games, but at the last moment of the game, he was stared closely by the old monster Kidd, and it was difficult to find a chance to take action.

Although Ray Allen has a big heart, in the Western Conference Finals, he only had a better performance in the second game. Although he scored the second highest score in the team today, he did not show his previous killer character at the critical moment of the final quarter. The injury on his wrist may be because Ray Allen performed averagely, but no matter what the reason, the Clippers cannot be without Ray. Although Allen's output is a lot of 14 points, he has to make greater contributions to defeat the powerful Mavericks, Ray Allen and Billups, and Iguodala, and have to give the Fox brother more firepower support.

This game was said to have been hit by the media. The Clippers were once again in desperate situation, with a total score of 1:3, which is a little better than 0:3, and the chance of turning the tables is still less than 10%.

Dallas media expressed in a joking tone after the game that if the Clippers can turn the situation around in a unfavorable situation of 0:3 and 1:3 behind, it would be similar to winning the first prize of the Powerball for two consecutive periods, and winning 300 million US dollars. At that time, we really have to see if the lover of the Fox brother outside is the clone of the goddess of luck?

In the Clippers' forum, there are still many stubborn fans saying, is the current situation even more difficult than the seven-round battle between the Clippers and the Spurs in the last round?

Da Bendan of the Los Angeles Times responded in his column the next day: I think yes, the situation at that time was that the Spurs were led by three games and were defeated by the Clippers in three consecutive games. Then they lost to the Clippers without any suspense in the last tiebreak battle. Fans who have watched this magical series know that although the Clippers lost to the Spurs in the first three games, the Clippers had always taken the initiative on the field at that time. Rather than saying that the Clippers achieved a century-long reversal, the Spurs were lucky and won three games they should have lost.

In the last round of the series, at least five games were always the Clippers taking the initiative. No matter what the final victory or defeat, fans all recognize that the Clippers' strength is above their opponents.

But now it's different. The Mavericks have always had the advantage in the first four games, and in two games they won by big scores. On the contrary, the Clippers are in the position of chasers most of the time, which shows that the Clippers are not losing the game because they underestimated the enemy and were careless, but that they really couldn't play anymore.

Coincidentally, the New York media also made similar remarks. The Bulls' lineup this year is too outrageous. It is said that the Chicago people's inside strength is not as strong as the Nets, but they still have Boozer, the All-Star inside, and Noah, the top blue-collar. There are also two inside substitutes, Asik and Gibson, who can play the main inside in other teams. The Bulls' inside strength is more than 80% of the teams in the league.

If the Nets' Giant Pandas can play three, then the Bulls also have a superstar who can play 1v3 on the outside, and there is probably more than one.

Kobe and Ross, two top backcourts in the league, can get the Bulls into the playoffs as long as they get one. Now they have gathered two of them at once, and with the quasi-All-star level, such an outside lineup is really a bit bug. Even if the Clippers met this Bulls last season, they dare not say that they will definitely win. The Nets can now play 2:2 with their opponents, which is entirely due to the continuous explosions of the Giant Pandas in this round of the series!

Nets fans themselves know that no matter how powerful the giant panda is, he will not be able to perform 30+20 or 30+10+10 in every game. Looking at the two games the Nets lost, Ji Guoqiu's performance was also excellent, but in the end the Nets are still not an opponent.

What does this mean?

This shows that Ji Guoqiu must be successful in the game to help the team win the game. Exercise alone is not enough to make the Nets defeat their opponents. 20+10+10 will lead to the Nets losing the game. He must get 30+10+10 to truly fill the gap in strength between the two teams.

On May 22, the fifth match between the Nets and the Bulls today will be staged, and it is also the most important battle of the King of Heaven in the seven-game series.

The Bulls unexpectedly lost at home in the last game. Although the outside world said that their strength was stronger and they deserved to win the championship. However, if they could not win this game, they would almost only have the fate of being eliminated. At that time, public opinion would instantly forget what they said a few days ago, and instead take the opportunity to step on the Bulls.

Kobe has seen too many such examples over the years. Today, the Bulls are playing away again. The Chicagoans dare not slacken at all. They have been doing their best since the beginning.

The Bulls' caution is right. Many people think that Ji Guoqiu's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals is a bit abnormal. The Giant Pandas averaged 33 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks, 2 steals and 4 turnovers in the first four games. Such performance is of course a historical performance. So many people are speculating that Ji Guoqiu's next game will probably not be as crazy as in the first four games, and his form should decline.

But who can really explain this kind of thing correctly?

Isn’t Jordan as unsolvable as Brother Panda in the playoffs? There are more than once examples of the leader who averaged 40+ points per game in the series; O’Neal, who was in the Lakers’ three consecutive championships, also maintained the data of 30+15 in the playoffs for two seasons; Ji Guoqiu’s average average of 29.6 points, 18.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.6 blocks and 1.8 steals. He even did not score as well as O’Nealdo in the past, even if he continued to perform like this.

Less than 3 minutes after the game started, Ji Guoqiu made four consecutive shots, three of which were mid-range shots, with one man scoring 8 points in a row, and the Nets started 10:0.

The Bulls were frightened and quickly called for a timeout, and scored for the first time after playing nearly 3 minutes in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, the Nets were leading by 10 points. However, the shooting percentage has declined since then, and the Bulls gradually narrowed the gap.

Ji Guochou scored 12 points in the first quarter and the Nets led 27:20 in this quarter.

In the second quarter, the Nets expanded their advantage to double digits several times. Ji Guoqiu's turn and shot can make the ball every day he defended. His lethality alone is no worse than the Bulls' two super guards, but the Chicago people still stubbornly narrowed the gap.

Before the end of the first half, Roll Deng scored a dunk, and before that, Boozer and Ross also scored one after another. After the Bulls scored 8 points in a row, they were only 4 points behind 47:51 in the first half.

Ji Guochou scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the first half. Today, he obviously went for 40+ again.

In the third quarter, the Bulls players felt bad. They made only 6 of 16 shots, while Kobe and Ross made only 3 of 10 shots in total, but they scored 10 points in 12 free throws in this quarter.

Ji Guochou is still the one that cannot be stopped on the court, and the Nets once led by double digits in this quarter.

Although the Bulls' shooting percentage is not high today, they kept using free throws to score and still kept a small distance from the Nets. After three quarters, they trailed by 6 points at 71:77.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe stood up. In the middle of this quarter, after Panthers made consecutive three-pointers, the score became 87:85, and the Bulls were only 2 points behind. After that, the Bulls' offense was unstoppable for a while, and they kept hitting the ball. Although Panda brother also kept scoring with his mark, the Bulls still overtook the score in the last three minutes of the game.

In the last few minutes of the game, Ji Guoqiu basically carried the entire team on his shoulders. From the last three minutes of the 48-minute game, the giant pandas rarely started a solo performance. It was Ji Guoqiu who caused Noah to foul with 9 seconds left before the end of the game. The next two free throws helped the Nets equalize the score and successfully dragged the game into overtime.

I have to say that the animal brothers are all the prides of heaven, but now, they are the same person. If they are humans, they will feel tired, and these two animals are no exception.

After the overtime starts, Ji Guoqiu, who only had three minutes of rest during the regular game time today, was there alone to chase the score. At the beginning, Kobe made two shots, and Ji Guoqiu returned a three-pointer and a hook shot. After that, Ross broke through and dunked, but Ji Guoqiu played the game in the penalty area to catch up with the score.

However, Panda Brother was finally tired. With 1 minute and 10 seconds left in overtime, when Valejo was sent off for 6 fouls, Ji Guoqiu lost the player who helped him the most. No one would restrain Boozer, and no one would make up for the breakthroughs for him. No one would give him room on the offensive end. Ji Guoqiu's offense became difficult, while the Bulls continued their collective attack.

When Kobe's three-pointer hit another, the Nets had already reached the edge of the cliff.

At this time, Ji Guoqiu controlled the ball in his hand again. Seeing that the 24-second attack time was about to come, Brother Panda turned around in a low position, jumped and drifted!!

"Bang!" Noah's finger seemed to touch the basketball?

That's right, when all the Nets fans rubbed their eyes and watched the replay carefully again, the basketball was already taken by Rose. What happened at that moment just now?

Brother Panda was really tired. He jumped not as high as before, and his shooting speed was slower, but he was touched by Noah with his finger.

Ross scored two points in the fast break, with a score of 104:106, and the Nets were two points behind.

In the end, the Nets lost the game by 2 points at home. The home team fans felt a pity. Maybe Ji Guoqiu's ball just now would hit it and they would win this crucial game today.

However, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that they have basically lost since the Nets were dragged into overtime.

The reason is not this ball, whether to enter or not, but Panda Brother, who is tired.

That shot cannot be blamed for Ji Guoqiu. Even gods have times of mistakes, not to mention that Brother Panda is really tired today.
