Chapter two hundred and ninety first asking for trouble
The Clippers attacked, Thomas was beaten twice by Bynum. No matter how shameless he was, he was a little angry and caught the ball and shot a three-pointer on the offensive end...
Old Dunleavy's face turned black and was about to roar, but the bastard's blind shot was actually thrown away!
Clippers fans don’t know whether to cheer or boo him. Currently, Ji Guomeng and this big brush dare to shoot like this in the Clippers. However, the little fox is an All-Star, and he throws a few of them in a game, just treats it as a star privilege. But you, a big brush who only knows how to steal heads and give heads, are you embarrassed to play like this. Is the truth that the heads are not given?
"Swish!" Another sound of a basketball hollow into the net. This time it was not Thomas threw it around, but Kobe, who was best at wave shooting on the field.
The Clippers fans immediately realized that this man was still on the court!
At 10:05, the score was 90:86. Kobe's shot this time helped the Lakers narrow the score gap to 4 points.
Old Dunleavy called a timeout and then replaced all the main players. In any case, Thomas and others must not stay on the court at this time.
After Ji Guoqiu came on the court, he did not play pick-and-roll with Billups, but instead ran back at the bottom line like Ji Guomi.
Billups and Paul Davis played pick-and-roll. The key man broke through and passed the ball to Ji Guoqiu, who was running out of the box. The latter jumped within one meter of the three-point line and scored his 17th point.
The Clippers' leading advantage was gradually eroded by Kobe's continuous attack. They urgently needed to score to stabilize the situation. Ji Guoqiu's goal this time solved the Clippers' urgent need.
Bynum played Davis on the offensive end, and An Zhu, who turned into a traitor, scored his third goal in the fourth quarter. This guy actually scored six points in the last quarter. Now the Clippers fans finally knew that although Ji Guomo is not as conspicuous as his brother in the defense data, when he was present, Bynum was never so arrogant in the first four games, and Gasol and Odom did not get so many points like today.
The game entered the last five minutes, at the 4th minute and 50th second, with a score of 100:96. After breaking through, Kobe faced a double defense, and shot a zero-angle hollow into the net, reducing the score to less than five points again.
Phil Jackson quickly called for a timeout. Kobe did not rest in the second half. The Zen master used a timeout not to arrange tactics, but to allow Kobe to take the opportunity to recover some physical strength.
Ji Guoqiu had 21 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 blocks, Billups had 23 points and 4 assists, Artest had 17 points and 3 rebounds, Mobri had 12 points, Thomas had 11 points, Percy had 7 points, Garcia had 4 points, Amir Johnson had 2 points.
Kobe scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 4 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, Vujasic scored 7 points, Radmanovic scored 7 points, Fisher scored 5 points, and Famal scored 2 points.
Jeff Van Gundy said during a timeout: "The Lakers have a characteristic that they often shoot three-pointers and free throws, which is why they attack efficiently."
The Magician smiled and said, "Yes, I like this kind of internal and external balance. When you have a good outside shooter, of course you have to shoot more three points, but at the same time, you have to ensure the strength of the inside attacking the basket and strive to go to the free throw line. Although there are not many free throws today, the three-point shooting percentage is good."
"Billups and Panda brothers have both scored 20+ today, and Artest also scored 17 points. The Clippers have shown the potential of this team in the game without fox. They are indeed strong. With Kobe's firepower at full speed, they still maintain a weak lead so far."
"I don't think they can continue to stick with it. If the referee had not been targeting Kobe and not giving Pan a free throw opportunity, the Lakers had already surpassed the score. But even so, the Clippers have reached their limit now. Kobe just needs to sit down and drink some Gatorade, and then return to the court to lead the team to overtake the score."
Old Dunleavy also felt that these disciples could be in a stalemate with the Lakers for three and a half quarters, and it was almost beyond their limit. The Lakers' defense seemed increasingly threatening to him, and it became more and more difficult for them to score. If the Fox brother was on the court at this time, they could continue to attack the Lakers with Billups and Ji Guomo. However, now there is only the Giant Pandas, and he is not good at fighting against others. Today, he can get so many points, Old Dunleavy is not only lucky. As Ji Guochou's scoring momentum slowed down in the fourth quarter, the Clippers were about to be unable to withstand Kobe's offensive.
The game started over and the Clippers knew that this defense was very important to them. If they could not defend Kobe's attack this time, the score difference would narrow to less than 2 points, and a mere 2 points would not be considered a lead at all.
Gasol used himself as bait on the offensive end and pulled Ji Guoqiu to the far end.
Kobe played pick-and-roll with Bynum this time, and the Lakers avoided Ji Guoqiu's defense direction. Kobe, Odom, and Bynum formed a triangle. In the end, Kobe broke through to attract double teams, assisted Odom to hit the basket and succeeded. Artest had to foul on the Lama to prevent him from scoring directly.
The Lakers got two free throws this time, and Odom stood at the free throw line and took several breaths. His performance has been bad in this round of series, and even his free throw shooting percentage has dropped to 60%. These two key free throws made Lama very nervous, fearing that he would lose the free throw and become a team criminal.
In fact, he has long been the team's sinner. Whether he can get this penalty or not, as long as the Lakers lose in the end, he will have to take the blame!
Odom said that he was under too much pressure and made one of two free throws in the end. This result was not good, but at least it was as good as the stronger than the two free throws.
Score 100:97, the Clippers attacked.
Fisher's defensive end was a little more away from Billups. Compared to a player like Billups, this defensive distance seemed to make him want to shoot three-pointers.
Lao Yu is very cunning. His basketball IQ is very high. Now the game is at a critical moment, and every attack is particularly important. Confrontation between strong teams often depends on this period of time. Which side of the stars are more efficient, which side can have role players to stand up and perform exceptionally, which side has better defense, which side can control turnovers and rebounds... Because every goal and every link are very important, Billups dare not shoot easily at this time. The distance Lao Yu gave to Billups just made the latter in a dilemma. He wanted to shoot but didn't dare to shoot, and he seemed hesitant.
Ji Guoqiu came up to cover it, but Billups still chose to dribble and break through. The Lakers defended the Clippers' pick-and-roll this time. Billups and Ji Guoqiu were both blocked by Lakers players in the middle, and the two did not get a shot.
Artest received a pass from Billups and continued to rush into the inside to attack.
Odom defended closely, and Gasol, who returned to the basket, Artest missed the final layup under the defense of two Lakers players.
"My!" Ji Guochou rushed to the basket and competed for rebounds with Kobe!
"Be careful, the boss has elbow out. At three o'clock, quickly cross the right elbow and turn it 45 degrees to the right!" Ji Guomomi saw Kobe's small movement after he jumped, and immediately reminded the giant panda telepathically.
Ji Guoqiu was prompted to put up his iron elbow to protect himself. Kobe beside him found that his eyes were dark, and it seemed like a familiar object flew over, and he was secretly yelling in his heart!
"Ah!" Kobe screamed, covered his eyes and fell down.
Ji Guoqiu was reminded by his younger brother that he would raise his elbows in time in the air to defend himself, and successfully counterattacked with the "Los Angeles Elbow" taught by the fox brother. This elbow hit Kobe's eyebrow bone. His iron elbow was still a little painful at this time, because he was injured by Kobe's recoil.
The referee did not whistle, Ji Guoqiu was a little stunned after landing, then reacted and immediately jumped back, and scored two points with a quick slam dunk.
The Lakers players were stunned at this time. Seeing Kobe lying on the floor with his eyes covering his head, rolling and screaming, they thought Ji Guoqiu would be called a foul. But they never expected that the referee ignored him. It was not until Ji Guoqiu dunked the basketball and the referee suspended the game.
"This... why don't you call me a foul?" Ji Guoqiu was still a little puzzled.
"Yes, why don't you call your foul? I'll hurt Kobe for this elbow." Ji Guomori said in his heart, but his tone was completely schadenfreshing.
Van Gundy shook his head: "Bryant is irrational this time, and the referee did not call him a foul, but we can see through the replay that Kobe elbowed Panda brother this time, but he hit the opponent's iron elbow."
OK... In Van Gundy's eyes, it was Kobe who hit the giant panda's iron elbow himself. The boss is not suffering, he has no sm hobby.
As a senior Lakers, the Magician did not refute the scam remarks of Fan Tutou at this time, because through the game replay, it seemed that Kobe was first to elbow behind him, but was hit by Ji Guoqiu's protective action. The giant panda did not turn around at all? This is considered to be a pity for Panda. Everyone knows that this giant panda is different from his younger brother and has never taken the initiative to hurt people. If it weren't for the lack of qualifications this season, Panda Brother almost won the Best "Sports Spirit Award", so even the Magician felt that Kobe deserved it now. It would be too stupid to elbow at such a critical moment.
No one came up to trouble Brother Panda on the Lakers. If this was replaced by Ji Guohuo, it would have been pointed at the nose and scolded the "executioner".
Kobe was lying on the ground, with a lot of blood on the floor, and the camera was aimed at Pan. You can see that Ji Guoqiu had a big hole in his eyebrows. The wound was so big that it looked even more serious than the one he beaten by Ji Guomo in the regular season. The panda's hand was dark. This guy would be fine if he didn't take action, he would see blood as soon as he took action!
The game was suspended, and the blood on the floor had to be cleaned before the game could be resumed. Kobe's face turned red when he saw that the referee did not punish Ji Guoqiu for a foul, and he looked like he rushed over and killed the hateful giant panda with one elbow, and then killed that bastard referee with one elbow! But he knew that if he wanted to win now, he would never have to have an upset with the referee.
Chapter completed!
