"The Lakers are behind in a big way today. In the final analysis, they still have to blame their last shot for being too low. So far, the Lakers' shooting percentage is only 33%, while their opponents have a 55% shooting percentage. It is normal to fall behind by 13 points. The Lakers' top priority now is to strengthen their shooting accuracy, strengthen their defense, and reduce the Clippers' shooting percentage. If they continue to play like this, there should be no suspense at the end of the half-game." Van Gundy said while substitutions on both sides. These words sounded harsh in the ears of Lakers fans, but their team's unsatisfactory performance left them speechless.

In the second quarter, the eighth minute of the game entered, and the main players of the two teams basically returned to the court, with a score of 45:32, and the Lakers attacked.

Famar dribbling forward, Fisher only hit a three-pointer on the court today, and there was no way to go against Lupus' breakthrough. The Zen master could only replace Famar with a stronger impact. I hope the latter can at least perform on the offensive end. Don't just be beaten by others, at least you can do it!

Kobe's offense run attracted most of the energy of the Clippers players. Famar dribbled hard and used his speed to pass Billups, but he ran into the Pandas who had a very fast assisting defense at the basket.

Famal was timid at this time. Facing Ji Guochou's defense, he did not have the courage to attack. After five games, the giant pandas accumulated a lot of tyranny in the hearts of Lakers players. Famal passed the basketball to Gasol in the air, but the quality of the pass this time was not high, and this kind of passing was not a skill that Famal was good at.

Gasol did not receive the pass, Famal passed the basketball directly out of bounds, and the Lakers made a mistake!

Kobe was very dissatisfied with Famal's mistake this time. It was obvious that Pan's face was not good. He shouted something to the second-grade rookie. The latter bowed his head and did not dare to refute it!

The Clippers fans immediately started to cheer. What they wanted to see most was that Kobe gave Famal one elbow, and the game would be exciting by then. Fortunately, Kobe was not overwhelmed by anger. Although the boss really wanted to give these poor-performing teammates one elbow at this time, so that they could wake up.

But Kobe seemed to have forgotten in his anger, and it seemed that his performance was not much better. His shooting was just at the same level as the team.

Clippers fans cheered "mvp" again. Ji Guoqiu's performance today was definitely at the MVP level, and he dominated both offense and defense.

Kobe forced his move against Percy's defense on the offensive end and made a very long-distance three-pointer from the outside. Lakers fans can see from this goal that the boss is about to lose control again.

Phil Jackson knows it's not good. Although Kobe scored this goal, this purely reliable scoring method is too dangerous in the eyes of Zen masters. This style of play is no different from the gambler who loses the red eye. If they really have to kneel down in this game. Think about it again, if they can't win the Clippers even with such a good opportunity today, the blow to the morale of Lakers players is immeasurable. When they return to home, they will definitely not be able to stop the Clippers with a strong morale. If they are eliminated at that time, the final outcome of the Lakers.

The game entered the last five minutes of the first half, with a score of 54:40, and the Clippers widened the gap to 14 points, and the situation for the Lakers became increasingly dangerous.

Phil Jackson called another timeout. After the game started again, the Zen master's arrangement surprised Lakers fans. He replaced Kobe and replaced it with the lineup: Famar, Vujasic, Walton Jr., Radmanovich, and Gasol.

At this time, Phil Jackson must be extremely dissatisfied with Kobe's performance on the court, which is an unbearable result.

Kobe sat off the court, his face even more ugly. He sat on the sidelines and gave him an elbow on the bench. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the Zen master replacing himself with his self-esteem seriously damaged!

The live broadcast camera accurately captured this moment. I wonder if the poor stool was damaged by the "Koshen Iron Elbow"?

The Zen Master's transformation of the formation has a great gambling element. If this lineup performs well on the court, the media will naturally praise him for his strategy after the game. But if it still fails to achieve results, just say that he is suppressing Kobe now. In Phil Jackson's eyes, Kobe is like a spring. The more pressure he puts on him, the greater the response he gets. Sometimes as the head coach, he is helpless. When there is no tactical solution and wants to win, even the Zen Master has to expect Kobe to change the situation with his personal ability in the second half. Sometimes if he makes a fool of himself, it is not impossible to throw his opponent to death.

If neither method succeeds? Then there is nothing to do. Zen masters are not omnipotent, and it is even more impossible to guarantee a complete victory in the game.

Gasol led a group of Lakers' substitutes to perform more smoothly on the court. Espanyol already knew the triangle offense. When Kobe got out of the court, Lakers players played a smooth triangle match with Gasol's support. This made many commentators start writing articles like "Kobe Cancer" in advance. Some fans like a round, and based on their preferences, they can praise the stars to heaven or be worthless. In fact, these media reporters are the most proficient in this.

The biggest feature of the Lakers' lineup is that there is no black player, and all five players on the court are white. Their style of play is more like a European team, with pleasing attacks, smooth cooperation, and paying attention to sharing the ball. It doesn't look like an NBA team at all. On the defensive end, the Lakers also played the rare joint defense of the NBA.

From this perspective, they are typical European basketball styles regardless of both offense and defense.

In addition, with the world champion Gasol as the axis, this Lakers are more like Spanish team. Gasol himself has this feeling. He no longer has to accommodate others. He can play whatever he wants, support the team as he wants, and play singles at high and low posts.

No matter how many Clippers are, they still play according to their own style of play. The Clippers are more like a combination of European teams and NBA teams. On the defensive end, Ji Guoqiu defends Gasol alone, and the other four players play in the joint defense, which is a mixed defense; on the offensive end, they mainly play pick-and-roll attacks. Billups cannot attack, so they pass the basketball back to Ji Guoqiu, who is supporting at a high position. At this time, the Clippers began to intersperse at the bottom line, and the wing players will also see the opportunity to cut. In addition to the different specific tactics of the two teams, the playing routines have many similarities. The most obvious is that they both have an inside line that can shoot and support at a high position, and the tactics they carry out also revolve around the player. At this time, it depends on which of the two big men is better.

At the end of the first half, the score was 66:52, and the difference between the two teams was still 14 points. The answer to which of the two big men is better is: half a pound.

In the last five minutes of the second quarter, we can see that the Lakers' offense is even better, but they still cannot defend against the Clippers' offense, and the two teams scored almost the same. In terms of player competition, Gasol failed to defeat Ji Guoqiu, especially in personal data, Gasol's data is still much worse than Ji Guoqiu, who is a RMB player?

Brother Panda's pass is more of a fatal blow. Whether he is at a high or low, he can directly pass the basketball to the player in the last attack, and the assist data is rising rapidly. This is the effect of telepathy and the habit he gradually develops. Even if there is no telepathy, Ji Guochou plays like this.

Gasol is different. He is a bit like Billups. Espanyol will pass the basketball to where it should go, so it usually assists indirectly and rarely directly assists his teammates to score. This makes his data worse. Most fans will subconsciously think that Ji Guoqiu is much better than Gasol when he sees the data comparison between the two. But in fact, Gasol's style of play is more selfless and more realistic.

Brother Panda's attack was fatal. Without telepathic help, the number of mistakes would inevitably increase greatly, and the number of assists might drop by half. After all, he defeated Gasol by cheating.

Ji Guoqiu had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, Billups had 16 points, 3 assists, Artest had 10 points and 3 rebounds, Mobley had 8 points, Thomas had 8 points, Percy had 5 points, Garcia had 2 points, and Amir Johnson had 2 points.

Kobe scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Gasol scored 12 points and 7 rebounds, Odom scored 7 points and 4 rebounds, Walton scored 8 points, Vujasic scored 5 points, Radmanovic scored 5 points, Fisher scored 3 points, and Famal scored 2 points.

In the first half, we can see a lot of things through the Clippers' data. For example, after Artest and Mobley did not have Ji Guohuo, their data increased a lot, which shows that their personal abilities have not declined this season. The decline in data is entirely due to Ji Guohuo's occupation of other players' attempts.

But this is not to say that Ji Guomeng is a cancer. The Clippers' record this year is that. With Ji Guomeng's average score of 25+ per game in the playoffs, who dares to say that the little Fox is a cancer?

If many players in the NBA give him enough shots, they can produce a brilliant data. However, if you look at the shooting rate and key shot data, you will find that there is still a big gap in efficiency between celebrities and ordinary players.

Ji Guomeng's shooting percentage is above 50%. Look at Artest and Mobley. The shooting percentages of both are less than 45%, and even Billups' shooting percentage is only 43%. It can be seen why Ji Guomeng is the core and why he dares to brag in front of the media all day long. He is indeed qualified to pretend to be a show of force.

During the halftime break, Zen masters already knew that relying solely on Gasol, the extent to which they can reach the last five minutes of the first half is already the limit. This is the upper limit of these players. You cannot ask a group of character players to win in the Western Conference Finals. Kobe must be allowed to play his value. The Lakers can win, but this issue is not a small problem.
