One and a half minutes before the end of the game, Ji Guohuo was expelled from the field for malicious elbow to the French domestic line.

Being 9 points behind, there is not much time left in the game, the main inside was sent off again, the Clippers were unable to overtake the score and lost their second home court.

The final score was 92:98, and the two teams had a similar score, but in the end, the resilience shown by Kobe and the Lakers players was commendable. This loss also reminded the Clippers that if you want to defeat your opponent, don’t fall behind too many points and always expect to turn defeat into victory. The biggest possibility is to lose but not win.

Ji Guoqiu had 16 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guomi had 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, Artest had 12 points, 5 rebounds, Billups had 27 points and 4 assists, Mobley had 6 points, and Percy had 5 points.

Kobe scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Gasol scored 22 points, 8 baskets and 4 assists, Odom scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, Bynum scored 8 points and 5 rebounds, Radmanovic scored 10 points, Fisher scored 7 points, Famal scored 7 points, and Walton scored 5 points.

In the entire playoffs this year, the Clippers lost this home game, but this game is exactly the one they shouldn't have lost. The Clippers not only lost the fourth game, but their main power forward, the team's first firepower point, and one of the inside dual cores, has accumulated 7 technical fouls in this game. In the next game, according to the league regulations, the Fox Brother will automatically suspend the game.

Moreover, Ji Guomeng's malicious elbow strike on Turiyaf this time is likely to pursue punishment afterwards. If Ji Guomeng is additionally suspended, it will be a disaster for the Clippers!

Kobe's performance today is worthy of being the core of the Lakers. He made 10 of 20 shots in the game and scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Kobe's performance in the game once again allowed fans to see what the MVP level is. Especially his dunks made by the Clippers' defense several times. It was shocking.

In addition to Kobe still strong, Paul Gasol's outstanding performance is also the key to winning the game. In the third game, Gasol made 4 of 15 shots, only scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. But today, Gasol scored 22 points, 8 baskets and 4 assists, and the world champion showed the core style of Spain on the road.

After the game, Kobe said at the post-match press conference: "We are back. Although they beat us 39 points in the previous game, this will not affect our next game. We will return to the court to prove that we deserve the championship crown."

There was another interesting part at the post-match press conference. Everyone knew that not long ago, a certain American gossip website had been published on the front page. Kobe and former Lakers cheerleader Vanessa Cory had a super friendly relationship. Before this game, Kobe entrusted a lawyer to formally sue the gossip website, believing that their false reports seriously damaged his image.

Kobe said in an interview: "My only love is Vanessa Bryant."

Vanessa showed infinite trust in Kobe during this peach scandal crisis. In this key battle in the fourth game, in addition to leading the children to watch the game away, she also helped Kobe angrily scold the reporter of the website off the court. She also called the reporter of the gossip website that first reported the news in Staples' player channel: "Laura (name of gossip reporter), **You, **You bitch, you have no journalist quality. **You, bitch!"

Ji Guoxiong refused to mention his foul after the game. The little fox was very uncooperative and was stubborn about his team's loss. He told reporters: "Bryant and Gasol are not a ok combination. Now it's not 2:0, but 2:2. Occasionally, it's a storm, and it can't beat the Clippers, the big ship. We are stronger than the Titanic and cannot sink even if we hit an iceberg."

The Dead Fox's words made the reporters below very distressed. This guy is really good at ripping off, and he is even more shameless.

Ji Guomeng saw the painful expressions of the reporters and continued: "There is a strange phenomenon in the league this season. The strong teams actually rely on their home court to eat, and they will not win if they leave the home court. Haha, but we just go the other way. The Clippers are all the playoff teams in the league, and the most away games wins. So, what does this mean? This shows that we are the truly powerful team!" Ji Guomeng's words made the reporters want to turn around and leave. They have never seen a guy who loses and is so arrogant. The Dead Fox was unaware of this and continued to swear at the reporters: "The Lakers have MVP Kobe in the league, the most terrifying coach Phil Jackson, and the world champion Paul Gasol. All of this seems to be unfavorable to us, but it is not the end of the day for the Clippers. Lakers fans should not be happy too early. Which team can smooth sailing on the road to winning the championship?"

The reporters in the audience looked at the dead fox who was talking endlessly and felt that Ji Guomeng really had the talent to be a reporter. They didn't seem to say anything bad about the Clippers? Why did it feel like the whole world bullying the Clippers? Wait... It seems that this fox man just broke Turiyafu's nose, and the French were directly carried out after that foul. It is estimated that the season's reimbursement was not run away. This guy was so cruel that he seemed to be wronged. Can he still be a little embarrassed?

Not to mention how thick-skinned the Dead Fox is, he won the fourth key game, but Lakers fans expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Odom the next day.

Before the playoffs, Lakers fans once hyped up the three giants in their team, but except Kobe, the other two giants were in good shape and bad shape. The main power forward Odom was the first to be targeted by fans. Lama's condition was like a roller coaster in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Lakers fans really doubt whether he still has the ability to play high-level two consecutive games.

But in the third round, in the Western Conference Finals, Odom could not even do well or badly. His condition continued to be sluggish. In the past four games, his scores were 12, 10, 8, and 10, which became the cancer of the Lakers' playoffs. Odom's poor touch made him squander the seemingly simple layup again and again, which directly led to his confidence declining, and even free throws were greatly missed. It seemed that he had not performed well in one game for everyone to see.

In the third game, the Lakers created the biggest derby defeat. Odom's performance that day was infuriating. He only handed over pitiful data of 8 points and 4 rebounds. Many Lakers fans were still comforting themselves. Perhaps he would bottom out and rebound in the fourth game and explode again?

This question mark is used too correctly. Today Odom continues to stay at the bottom of the valley and has not had the idea of ​​climbing up for a day. He made 4 of 12 shots in the whole game, and his free throws were pitiful 2 of 6 free throws. He only scored 10 points and 5 rebounds. As the third leader of the team, his offensive end is so low, coupled with his unpredictable defense in the fourth quarter that he can dunk basketball, which reminds people of the former No. 1 pick Kwame Brown.

The Lakers were chased by the Clippers in the fourth quarter and were only two points away because of Odom's two key undefensive shooting failures. After the game, all Lakers fans selected Odom as the worst player of the Lakers in this game.

The Los Angeles Times wrote the next day: "Odom's offense has become a waste of opportunity. If he continues to be so sluggish, the Clippers will dare to let go and double-team Kobe. As the team's third leader, he handed out such an ugly report card. No wonder even Phil Jackson couldn't bear it anymore. He simply pressed Odom on the bench when he made his last attempt in the fourth quarter."

Old Dunleavy secretly wrote down this paragraph with a pen. In the fifth game, they could let Odom off for double-teaming against Kobe. Anyway, the second guy couldn't even make an empty spot.

After the Clippers lost the game, Dunleavy was also studying the two games lost with the coaching staff. How did the Lakers defeat them? To be honest, the Clippers' defense is already excellent enough, but they still cannot defend against the Lakers. This made the Clippers' coaching staff study game video all night after the fourth game, hoping to find a solution to the problem.

However, there is one thing that is certain for the time being. The Lakers shared the ball almost perfectly in the fourth game and achieved multiple points in the offense. In the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers scored 98 points, with a total of 4 players averaging double-digit points, and 7 players averaging no less than 7 points, which made the Clippers' joint defense lose the other.

The key to the Lakers' sharing of ball rights lies in space, movement and timing. Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Paul Gasol, Varadimi Radmanovic and Derek Fisher formed a whole. Although the Clippers chose to rely on individual defenders to defend Kobe most of the time, they used the Fox brother alone to defend Kobe in the third game to have a good effect, but after the Lakers lost in the third game, they did not rely too much on Kobe's singles in the fourth game, but tried to integrate everyone into the offense.

Old Dunleavy watched the Lakers' attack in the fourth game: Odom passed the ball to Gasol in the low post on the right, and Radmanovic moved from the top of the arc to the free throw line to provide a cover for Kobe. Kobe used Radmanovic's cover to move from the left wing to the right wing where Gasol was located.

Kobe's running attracted the Clippers' defensive attention. Odom made a back cover for Radmanovic. Radmanovic got rid of the defender. Gasol immediately passed the ball and Radmanovic caught the ball and hit it. In this attack, Kobe did not touch the ball at all, but the cooperation of the four players easily tore open the Clippers' defense line.

"How come the Lakers' style of play is so similar to us?" Old Dunleavy looked at it and felt that the Lakers' off-ball run was very similar to them. The twins were like this on the offensive end, and the other attracted defense through off-ball run, and then gave Billups, Artest and even the old cat Mobley to an easy offensive opportunity.

Old Dunleavy racked his brains to study the reasons for the team's defeat, of course, there was also the key to victory, but there was more than one problem before them. Ji Guomeng had a total of seven technical fouls in the next game and would automatically be suspended for one game. He was unable to play in the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain, which made the Clippers immediately become a little stretched. With one twin missing, can they still limit the Lakers' inside line?

The Lakers' inside line has been poor in the division finals. Yesterday, Gasol was a little warm, and Lakers fans were overjoyed, but Espanyol's 22-point performance can only be considered normal performance, which is really not very outstanding. Especially in rebounding, the Clippers still have an absolute advantage. In the fourth game, the Clippers grabbed 48 rebounds, and the Lakers only had 36. The Clippers scored a full ten more points than the Lakers, but they still lost the game. They can only blame the Clippers players for their poor touch.

But the question arises again, why is the touch not good?

The reason is that it is not so good that the Clippers feel bad, but rather that the Lakers have strengthened their defense. Although the Clippers' shots are not limited, the Lakers have done a good job of limiting the Clippers' shooting, which has kept the Clippers' shooting.

This reminds people of the fast break scores of the Lakers' "shoe" in the 1980s, when many teams would have trouble playing against the Lakers. Even when the Lakers were in full swing under George Mike, Chamberlain, Jabbar and O'Neal, many people ignored the Lakers' defense.

Old Dunleavy finally found that the Lakers could win the fourth game because of their strong defense, not their offense. Even Odom, who performed poorly on the offense, actually his defense against Artest was very good in many cases.

The day before the battle between the Clippers and Lakers, the fourth duel also held in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Cavaliers, who were eliminated by the Celtics, have encountered the Pistons in the playoffs in the past two seasons. As the core player of the Cavaliers, LeBron James has a certain understanding of the Pistons. James said he would also watch the Eastern Conference Finals. He believes that the Pistons' strong away game ability will cause trouble to the Celtics: "I think the Pistons are very confident in the away game. I even think they are better off away than at home. They have reached the Eastern Conference Finals for 6 consecutive years. The rich final experience will give them the lead at critical moments."

I don't know if the blessing of the little emperor is a blessing, but all the teams that James is openly optimistic in the end won, which is completely contrary to the Magician's Crow's mouth. This time James made a mistake again. The Pistons defeated the Celtics at home with a 94:75 victory over the Celtics at home, tied the total score of the Eastern Conference Finals at 2:2. The fifth game between the two sides will be held at the Pistons on the 26th.

If the Pistons lose the game today, they will slip into the abyss of being eliminated, but Elton Brand and Maskman Hamilton stepped forward and refused to let this happen. This game was the best playoff game the old captain has played this season, with 30 points and 18 rebounds, helping the Pistons defeating the Celtics 94-75.

Elton Brand's performance allowed the Pistons to find balance. Hamilton scored 20 points, scoring 10 points in the last quarter, Rashid Wallace also scored 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Prince 10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Boston's Big Three's shooting percentage was very bad today, but they struggled to support almost the entire game with their advantage in free throws and the outstanding performance of rookie Al Thorton. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen failed to hit the first seven shots. They only made 11 of 38 shots in the whole game. In the end, Garnett and Pierce each scored 15 points, Allen scored 11 points, and rookie Al Thorton scored the highest 18 points in the game.
