Chapter 269 Why not join the US team?

At 10 minutes and 25 seconds in the fourth quarter, the twins only had less than two minutes of rest. Old Dunleavy used his killing weapon again, and the situation was unfavorable - the twins!

The magician couldn't wait to mock Old Dunleavy for his lack of skills. However, Old Dunleavy's move was simple but very useful. Ji Guomo is also a guy who is unwilling to admit defeat. Seeing Kobe scored 18 points in a single quarter, how could he not want to fight back?

After Ji Guomomo came on the court, he received an assist from his brother and fired quickly from outside the three-point line. The ball was very firm. This time, the Fox finally stopped hitting the iron and hit the first three-pointer in the second half.

In the first quarter, Ji Guomomori provoked Kobe after making a three-pointer, and it was like consuming all his character. He never made a shot outside the three-point line in the next game. Now he has finally recovered some character value.

"Damn, I'll never be arrogant again if I make a three-pointer next time."

"I will believe your words for three minutes, and I can't do it any more."

When Phil Jackson saw the Clippers preparing to counterattack, he immediately called a timeout, not setting up any tactics, just to replace Kobe. The Zen master never set up any tactics to the players today. Most of the cooperation that the Lakers performed on the court today were arranged and practiced before the game. In this regard, Dunleavy and Phil Jackson were very similar. They both won by careful deployment before the game, rather than on-the-spot arrangements.

The score was 81:96. Ji Guomeng made a three-pointer after he came on the court, but the Clippers' substitutes dug too deep before, so they are now more behind than at the end of the third quarter.

At the end of the timeout, the Clippers replaced Brevin Knight, Mobri, Garcia, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqie.

Lakers lineup: Fisher, Kobe, Walton Jr., Radmanovic, Gasol.

After Kobe came on the court, he immediately attacked from the wings. He leaned back and hit Mobley with his shoulders. He suddenly turned around and shot at a distance of 15 feet close to the basket. He shot like a picturesque backward and scored his 24th point.

The twin brothers fought against Kobe Bryant in the last quarter. They could not stand it alone, so they formed a war of attrition with Kobe together. Both sides fought back and forth, and the score could not be stalemate.

Old Dunleavy was sweating when he was sweating. The twins were able to form a battle with Kobe, which made him feel very pleased, but such a stalemate was extremely unfavorable to the Clippers, because they were 15 points behind. Now they must make an attack wave as soon as possible to turn the defeat into victory, otherwise the time will be less and less, and their chances of winning will be smaller and smaller like a countdown.

At 9:15, Dunleavy, the old man replaced Billups and Artest, trying to let the beast defend Kobe.

Artest proved in the regular season that once his sideways moves against Kobe who explodes, it will not have much effect unless the referee ignores his series of small moves. But think about it carefully. This is at the Lakers' home court, and it would be nice if the referee does not foul the body without posing.

In order to soon regret, Old Dunley asked Artest to watch Kobe. The beast's defense was a malicious foul, knocking Kobe who had broken through the past directly from behind with a throat!

Artest made a bad foul this time and was decisively punished by the referee for a "first-level malicious foul", which made the Clippers more passive.

"Impossible, they are not that good in the regular season?" Ji Guomo looked at Kobe rubbing his throat, walked up to the free throw line with anger, and thought to himself.

"That's because we are not as good as the first two rounds. We made too many mistakes in the first three quarters." Ji Guoqiu replied in his heart, and by the way he saw a fox who was storming the iron in the first three quarters.

Kobe made one of two free throws, and the Lakers continued to hold the ball.

During this Lakers' offense, Artest once again fouled on Kobe. It was obvious that the beast's emotions began to lose control. It would be a matter of time before he was sent off.

Kobe stood on the free throw line again. Peter Pan made a free throw today, probably because he got the negative effect of the bench, and he made two free throws and one of them.

Ji Guoqiu grabbed the basketball in front of Gasol and got Kobe's second free throw shot.

"Counterattack!" Ji Guochou shouted and threw the basketball into the frontcourt.

Ji Guomeng ran towards the Lakers' halftime. Radmanovic did not investigate for a while and did not follow the Fox brother. The Clippers made their iconic inside raid. Ji Guomeng received the basketball and was left with no defense. He let out a big windmill slam dunk!

The score was 87:100, the two teams had a 13-point difference. The Clippers made a sneak attack, but the scores they were behind were still huge.

Phil Jackson called another timeout. This time the Lakers suspended the second timeout in this quarter. The Zen master basically said that the timeout was not satisfied with the defense. He sternly said to the Lakers players: "Don't grab the frontcourt rebounds. After the offense, they can't let them attack successfully. Do you understand?"

The Lakers player heard the tone of the Zen master and knew that the Clippers' fast break made their coach very dissatisfied, and responded repeatedly: "I know... we will pay attention... we will not let them succeed again..."

The only one here is Kobe just nodded slightly. Some people say that Kobe is a pathological narcissistic and arrogant person. This is not groundless. Phil Jackson actually hates Kobe very much and even wants to trade Kobe. In the eyes of Zen master, Kobe is too difficult to control.

After taking office in 1999, Feier Jackson proposed to the then Lakers general manager Jerry West to exchange Kobe for Kidd; in January 2004, Feier Jackson wanted to switch Kobe away again. He said: "Kobe will never listen to anyone, I must solve this problem." The Zen master rushed into Mickey's office more than once, telling him that he must send Kobe away before the February trading deadline, because "no one will listen to this kid. I have tried it a hundred times and I am almost angry to death."

However, once a player like Kobe successfully leads him to the right track, even if he tricks him to the right track, it will be enough for the current Clippers to have a drink.

After the game started again, Kobe ran without the ball and took the basketball around a long circle. At this moment, he and Gasol and Walton Jr. formed a triangle, the Lakers' iconic triangle offense.

Gasol immediately cut into the basket, and Kobe made a jump shot, a picturesque shooting posture, but turned into a pass in the air. He sent the basketball into Gasol's hands in the inside.

Kobe deceived all the Clippers players this time. Ji Guomeng's choice before was to double-team Kobe with his teammates. He felt that Kobe would definitely stick to singles after being maliciously fouled by Artest, but Black Mamba was like Stephen Chow's movie. Ji Guomeng also felt that he could not guess the No. 24, and Kobe actually passed the ball this time...

Brother Panda quickly abandoned Bynum and entered the inside to make up for defense, but he was one step slower. Gasol attacked this ball very resolutely, and dunked the basketball with one hand against Ji Guoqiu's block.

"Dou!" The referee blew the whistle and signaled that the goal was valid. Two plus one.

Phil Jackson still had no expression. Although Kobe played the attack he was really looking forward to this time, he did not dare to show too many expressions, for fear that Kobe would get nervous and fuck him.

But Kobe on the field laughed and bumped into Gasol's chest. Gasol also waved his arms and roared fiercely, with a hint of masculine momentum.

Old Dunleavy called a timeout, but he had no solution to the problem. They were already good enough for Kobe's defense. To be honest, the pocket lineup arranged by the Clippers against Kobe has always been effective. They rarely allowed Kobe to shoot deep into the penalty area, and most of the Pan's goals were mid- and long-distance jump shots. But he still scored so many points, which can only be attributed to Kobe being too accurate today.

Kobe dominated the game today. He assisted Gasol in the fourth quarter and helped Espanyol score in the inside, forcing the Clippers to spend some energy to deal with Gasol. The pocket lineup, which was originally bankrupt, began to become less solid.

At the 4th minute and 30th second, Kobe successfully broke through and scored twice in a row, widening the gap to 19 points in one breath, completely ending the game.

The score was 93:112. Old Dunleavy looked at the time. Four minutes was no longer enough for them to turn the tables. They had no choice but to replace the main force and announce their surrender.

After Ji Guomeng got out, he covered his face with a towel. He felt that he had a bad game in this game and now he has no shame to see anyone.

But in fact, commentators and commentators from various countries did not criticize him. Kobe's performance today was crazy. No team could be said to be able to control it if he met it. The Clippers lost away from home is nothing. If they win, it would make everyone surprised. In this year's playoffs, the winning rate of each team in the home team reached an astonishing 90%. A typical example is the Celtics. Although the poor Celtics won all the home games, they have not won a single away game. The Big Three are almost a joke now.

The final score was 99:116, and the Clippers lost 17 points away. They lost to the Lakers and fell behind 0:1 in the total score.

Ji Guoqiu had 28 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomi had 17 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Billups had 14 points and 4 assists, Artest had 14 points and 6 rebounds, Mobri had 9 points, James Percy had 8 points, and Garcia had 5 points.

Kobe scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, Gasol scored 18 points and 10 rebounds, Odom scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, Radmanovic scored 12 points, Famal scored 15 points, Walton scored 8 points, Bynum scored 6 points and 5 rebounds, Fisher scored 9 points and 5 assists, and Vujasic scored 7 points.

After the end of the game of Guoxiong, Ji only stretched out a finger and touched Kobe. This was a congratulations and avoided the need to leave the game directly. The league punished him for this after the game.

At the post-match press conference, Kobe joked to the media, saying that he felt great now: "I smelled the championship. Just tonight, our team was hungry enough, so we showed a strong offense and didn't give the Clippers a chance, and they wouldn't have a chance. Uh... I'm not referring to this game, because this game is over."

After saying that, Pan felt unsatisfied and added: "People forget that NBA is a man's game, when did you hear that the youngest team will win the championship."

Phil Jackson won’t speak like Kobe. Zen Master said at the post-match press conference: “The next series will not be easy. Winning a home court is like leading the way in a marathon. This is a battle to compete with any of us who will not make mistakes. The side with more mistakes will be eliminated.”

The reporter laughed in his heart: "Look at what the Zen master said, isn't this saying that the Clippers will be eliminated? Even if they don't care about the difference between the coaches of the two teams, the Clippers' core twin brothers are rookies, and Old Dunleavy's playoff experience is not as rich as the Zen master with 11 rings in his hand. Which side of this game will make more mistakes, you can get the answer without thinking about it."

Dunleavy, the old man said regretfully: "We specially customized the defensive strategy for Kobe before the game. When Kobe attacks, several players must pay attention to what he wants to do next and be prepared for double-teaming at any time. Of course, while we pay attention to Kobe, we cannot give him too many open opportunities to the players, but we did not do this. The Lakers performed well today, and we will not make them so easy in the next game."

In addition to paying attention to this game after the game, the reporters also asked the twins whether they would join the US team in the 2008 Beijing Olympics? The reason why these reporters asked this is because these two guys have dual nationalities and Canada allows dual nationalities, so they are now dual nationalities between Canada and the United States.

Coach Lao K said a few days ago that he hopes that the US team's inside line can be updated in this Olympics. The twins' performance in the playoffs makes Lao K willing to give them enough playing time, and even the next World Championships can completely allow them to start. No one will doubt them now, and even American fans think that the two brothers will be more suitable for international basketball games.

Ji Guomo's answer made Kobe almost vomit blood: "You ask me why I didn't join the US national team? Because I hate Kobe!"

Well, of course, Ji Guomeng's angry words after losing, but the reporters immediately gave up. They wanted to hear such exciting news. No matter whether they were true or false, this fox was really understanding!

The next day, let alone Kobe's anger at the time of the game after the Guoshaw Game, the Los Angeles Times exposed several news related to the Clippers, one of which made the atmosphere in the Clippers have some strangeness.

Da Bendan wrote: Artest will serve as a commentator for both TV and radio on Saturday afternoon, explaining the opening game of the new season of the wnba Sacramento Monarchs.

This news is nothing, just commenting on a women's basketball game. Although he was distracted at the critical moment of the playoffs and went to comment on the women's basketball game that made Clippers fans question the professional qualities of the beast, it still did not affect the Clippers' internal affairs.
