Chapter 551 Unstoppable
ps: The computer had some accident yesterday and it was unable to boot. I worked it for a long time and reinstalled it several times but it was not done. Finally, I was ready to go to the computer city. I found that the graphics card was off. Now I can only use one hd3850 n years ago.
Today's fourth update is considered to make up for yesterday's suspension. I don't know if there is any full attendance. It's such a big tragedy. How can I buy a graphics card without full attendance?
"Damn it, he must have committed a foul because he caught me so ruthlessly." Ji Guomori complained to the bald referee.
What is the level of free throws for the two brothers?
There may be many answers to this question, but there is one thing that everyone should be consistent, that is, looking at the entire NBA history, the two brothers' free throw levels can rank in the top 10.
Although Nash and others are not inferior to the two brothers in terms of shooting percentage, and may even be higher, the free throws are not only based on the hit rate, but also refer to the number of free throws per game by the player and the professional free throw rate.
Ji Guomeng scored 96% of free throw shooting percentage in the playoffs this year, which is completely against the sky.
However, there is still a mountain high. Ji Guoqiu is even more cruel than his brother. He actually got a crazy 100% free throw shooting percentage. Many domestic fans complained about his setting, perhaps "100% free throw hit."
The Fox brother made both free throws, and the score difference reached 8 points.
Ray Allen's three-pointer still cannot save the Celtics. In terms of attack power, they really cannot suppress the Clippers on the defensive end.
Today's game may be somewhat insecure for non-team fans. The two teams did not fight until the last moment before they decided to win and lose. The twin brothers never gave the Celtics too many opportunities. They have always maintained a lead of at least 5 points.
The Celtics knew that the Clippers had such strong combat power because of the two brothers, but they were also at a loss for how to limit the twin brothers.
The final score was 112:106, and the Clippers won the second finals with a slight gap of 6 points.
Ji Guochou scored 28 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guomomoto scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, Billups scored 22 points and 5 assists, and Crawford scored 10 points.
Garnett scored 20 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Pierce scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Ray Allen scored 24 points, Rondo scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and Sauton scored 12 points and 3 rebounds.
Today, the referees were as expected by the two brothers before the game. Although they deliberately targeted the Clippers in the first half, they did not have a single game to help the Celtics. The Clippers were able to successfully defend their two home courts and then prepare to go to Boston to play wildly.
Los Angeles and Boston are old enemies in history. They have previously met in the Finals 11 times, and are the two cities with the most face-to-face face in the NBA Finals. The Bostonians suppressed the Los Angeles 8-3, but the last three matches have been Los Angeles.
The Celtics may have bad news today. Perkins' injury in the fourth quarter looked very tragic. Although the specific injury report has not been released yet, it was carried down directly. This means that Perkins' injury must have reached an extremely bad point, otherwise most players would limp back to the locker room instead of choosing to be carried out.
"You ask me if that physical contact was intentional. Can I still predict that he would come over early in the morning and then push my knees over?" The little fox said righteously, without blinking, and then continued: "In fact, I lost my balance to avoid the iron elbow. If it weren't for me pressing on him, maybe his injury wouldn't be too serious, but this was an accident, an accident that we didn't want to happen!"
Ji Guomo's words sounded very unpleasant at any time. He heard what he said, as if he was mocking Perkins for being punished for evil, and he almost stood up and applauded gloatingly.
Rivers summarized the team's losses after the game. He said: "We lost our starting center, and the player was very bad. After our game, the three-point shooting percentage was not high enough, which is one of the reasons why we lost. When we returned to the home court, we had to give them enough pressure from the outside. I know that many people think that the Celtics have many reasons for losing. Pierce's key shots are not as stable as the regular season, Sorton's touch is not as good as last year, but it is obvious that there is another thing that should be paid attention to, that is, our defense is not as good as that of the best. The Clippers scored 112 points today, which cannot be considered a good defense in any case. My players must make some changes to win the third game, when we played at our home."
After the game, some media counted the offensive rounds of the two teams. The Clippers scored 112 points in 94 offenses, and they had an offensive efficiency of 109.5, which is unacceptable to Celtic fans. If they want to win, they must improve their defense.
Garnett said after the game: "We performed mediocrely in the first two games. Today we performed well in the first half. It is obvious that there are many reasons for losing. It is unacceptable to get the Clippers 112 points. We must limit the Clippers' score to below 100 points so that we can win."
The most criticized Celtics' defense is rebounding. The two big men on the opposite side, who are 216cm tall. Even if this data is suspected of fraud, the two brothers must be above 210cm tall. Once they get the frontcourt rebound, it means that 99% will become a second-rate score.
Rivers should continue to work hard on rebounds. They were doing a good job in protecting the backcourt rebounds. Although Perkins averaged only 7 rebounds per game, his contribution to protecting the rebounds is something that the current Celtics substitute insiders cannot replace.
But no matter how difficult it is, the Celtics must reduce the Clippers' second offensive scores. They should pay special attention to avoiding the two brothers' dunks. The aerial relay must be even more eliminated, which will undermine morale too much.
But in fact, the two brothers' dunks are just a microcosm of the Celtics' unfavorable defense. The Bostonians allowed the Clippers to grab 50 rebounds. After missing the shot, the Clippers grabbed 25% offensive rebounds, which was enough to cause huge damage to the Celtics.
Besides rebounds, there are other things that hurt the Celtics.
The Clippers' scoring ability of the second and third positions was originally regarded as a weakness. However, Avraro, Garcia, Barnes, Dengtai and Jones shared 96 minutes of playing time. They scored a total of 22 points and 12 rebounds and 4 steals. Such attack power is enough to help the Clippers defeat the Celtics.
However, the Clippers themselves also had many problems. After the game, Old Dunleavy secretly launched a backstab attack on the referee.
"The Celtics have 33 free throw opportunities today. Many times it's not that they hit the ball themselves, but that we fouled them. You can't defend anyone at the free throw line. This is why we have worked hard and also helps them get rid of the difficulties of low shooting percentage."
Of course, Dunleavy didn't want to be fined. So he added: "The rhythm of the finals should be a more intense competition, but our free throws are only one-third of the Celtics. I don't know why, but we will still maintain the high-pressure defense like the previous two games. You have to try your best to find opportunities to compress space and reduce the opponent's chances, which means we will have more fouls, but their free throws should not be three times more than us."
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Lei Allen: "Do you think there is any difference between the Clippers in the fourth quarter?"
"They made us make a lot of mistakes, missed a lot of rebounds, and they played with a strong sense of urgency."
"Why don't the Celtics feel that urgency?"
"We can't say we don't have a sense of urgency. It's the finals and we're all very focused. I think their fans have given them motivation, it's their home court, we play a little irritated, especially when Perkins gets injured and another fox team is chattering."
"Can you say, how does the Clippers' defense compare to other teams you encountered in the playoffs?"
"They have a good defense, they have the height and athleticism they need to defend. But I think our defense is also good, they sprinted at the end of the game, and we didn't hold it up, but we still have confidence. I believe we can defend them, right in Boston."
"When Perkins fell to the ground with an injury, do you wish he wouldn't come back?"
"I don't know, I didn't know what happened at that time, I didn't even see who fell to the ground, I just knew someone was injured and fell to the ground. Tell you the truth, we are a team, and one player fell down, and there will be someone else to make up. We are a team that never gives up easily, and we are already a little impatient for the second game."
"Pearce tried to take over the game in the fourth quarter, but his shooting felt bad. Do you and Kevin accept his attempt to take over the game?"
"Yes, there's no doubt that you can throw the ball sometimes, sometimes you can't, and that's part of the game, but I think we need to do better on the team offense, we'll assist him, and he's also able to take over the game in the fourth quarter."
The Clippers led the Celtics 2:0 in the finals, and the defending champion has already gained an absolute advantage. At this moment, the whole world is optimistic that they can defend the title.
The Los Angeles Times reported on the first two games of the finals the next day, and naturally praised the Clippers, Da Bendan wrote—
The Clippers' team is better than the Celtics, which is not just a feeling. From the first two games, it can be seen that the Clippers never drag on the ball. Every pass is clear and clear. The team frequently scores through interspersed running and assists. In particular, the assists in the inside are even more sharp. Ji Guoqiu's five triple-doubles in the playoffs this year is the most powerful explanation.
This season, the Clippers' inside line showed stronger dominance. Brother Panda and Brother Fox can shoot, break, singles, run fast breaks, and pass balls. They can almost do everything. They are so comprehensive! Their performance is dominant and can compete with the strongest inside line combination in any era in the league.
The team's inside line has such strength and performance, which keeps the Clippers' offensive changes ahead. Coupled with the reasonable connection between Billups and the outside world, the entire team's system has become more layered and more aggressive, and is almost an irresistible team.
