Chapter 252 3:0

After seeing Ji Guoqiu bullied Oku, all the fans quickly drove the ball and turned around in the opposite direction of the Turks. Although Panda brother is a 7-foot center, his basic skills are solid, and his two-life training is enough for him to turn around and break through the slow-moving Oku in this situation.

Ji Guochou used his explosive power to turn around and came to the basket two steps. He quickly jumped before Kirirenko made up for defense and dunked the basketball heavily into the basket with both hands!

The Giant Pandas' complete set of movements is smooth and smooth. It is hard to imagine a 7-foot man who can do such an action on the court. Ji Guochou's turn and breakthrough are almost so fast that the Jazz players have no time to make up for defense, and the Giant Panda has already dunked the basketball into the basket. Even if the referee still wants to trouble the Clippers, he has no choice but to score such goals.

The score was 103:100. Ji Guoqiu scored four points in a row at the most critical moment of the game, turning his personal score into 18 points, and really pushing the Jazz to a desperate situation.

After Ji Guoqiu fell from the basket, huge cheers were already resounding throughout the Staples Center. Clippers fans raised their arms and shouted wildly, making tsunamis. Twenty thousand fans shouted "panda" at the same time!

Christine held her Starbucks coffee cup high above her head, and followed 20,000 Clippers fans to call Ji Guoqiu's name, Twilight women were proud of her boyfriend; Emma Roberts was also in the stadium at the same time. Although her size seemed a little smaller in the stadium, it would be difficult for everyone to notice her after they stood up.

However, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, these two girls accidentally discovered the rival sitting opposite them while shouting...

That's right! The pornographic giant panda didn't expect that the two tickets were facing each other. Christine and Emma Roberts looked at each other. Both of them were stunned when they saw each other. Then, as if they had seen nothing, they looked away.

"Is this bitch's ticket given by panda/Giant Panda?" The two girls thought in their hearts that they used the same adjective as they were in tune with each other.

Ji Guochou's expression finally showed some excitement at this time. In fact, his mentality is far from as calm as it seems. This is a reckless guy. Don't try to guess his emotions from his expression. He is really similar to Duncan.

Clippers players came up to slap Ji Guocho on the shoulder and chest. The Panda Brother's goal was too critical. Clippers players were very motivated for a while, and had more motivation when defending, and faster reactions.

Deron Williams, who had already scored 35 points in this game, received the basketball falling from the blue frame. Thinking of his team's situation, he couldn't help but smash the basketball stand hard!

The Staples Arena became even more boiling in an instant, and Clippers fans shouted "Technical Foul!"

"He fell the ball...referee, have you seen it...referee...he fell the ball..."

"Black whistle...If you don't judge a technical foul, you'll be a black whistle..."

Taylor Swift didn't look a little ladylike, and shouted to the referee: "You idiot, why didn't you give a sentence this time?"

The referee was indeed very embarrassed at this time. Deron Williams's action was worse than Ji Guomo's action movie. Logically speaking, since he gave the Fox brother a technical foul, he would have to punish Deron Williams for a technical foul. But if he gave the Jazz a technical foul at this time, it would be fair to completely determine the Jazz's fate.

After hesitating for a long time, the referee did not call Deron. Williams made a technical foul, not even an ordinary foul. He felt that the Jazz could not afford such a blow. After the game, the referee would definitely regret his penalty because the league had no excuse for him. The Clippers' complaint after the race was as Ji Guomeng said before, causing this guy who had not mastered the standards to pay a serious price!

The Staples Stadium was crowded with people, and the deafening scolding and booing were almost overwhelming. If it weren't for the sturdy ceiling construction, it would have probably been overturned by the scolding of Clippers fans at this time!

There were 30 seconds left in the game, and Coach Sloan called a long timeout. This was their last long timeout. After using it, there was only one short timeout for twenty seconds left.

Coach Sloan used these sixty seconds to arrange an offensive tactic. They had to attack as quickly as possible. If everything went well, they might have another offensive time.

At this time, there are both advantages and disadvantages. If you take a quick attack, the chance of success will naturally not be high. Once you fail, it is useless to give them another chance to attack. However, at this time, the Jazz can't do it without betting. The situation has no choice. They are now the backward side. If you want to turn defeat into victory, you can only try to turn the tables by increasing your bets, although the bigger possibility is to lose more.

After the game restarted, the Clippers used the suffocating defense they were good at. Everyone sucked their opponents tightly like sucking stones. Instead of using joint defense, they used this mad dog-like single defense to deal with the Jazz.

The Jazz have no players who can attack in the interior now. The most critical attack is that they still have to rely on Deron Williams, who performed well in this game.

Billups' experience played a role, and he followed the little fat man closely, not be confused by the other party's fake moves.

He couldn't defend Deron Williams in the whole game, but Billups was confident of doing it next time.

The Jazz's attack was going to be fast this time. Deron Williams saw that he could not shake his opponent with fake moves, so he immediately chose a simpler and more crude method. He used his speed to force the breakthrough to the middle distance position, and then forced a quick stop and shot again...

"Bang!"

Deron Williams barely made a shot but failed to hit this time. Oku wanted to repeat the key frontcourt rebound against the Rockets series, but his opponent today is not Mutombo, 4x-year-old. Ji Guoqiu judged the landing point of the basketball in advance and stood at the best position to compete for it, without giving the Turks any chance.

Seeing that he couldn't grab the rebound, Oku pushed Brother Panda to the ground beside him. He fantasized in his heart that maybe the referee would continue to lean towards them today?

"beep!"

This time the referee resolutely made a push move. In fact, the referee has tried his best. The Jazz can't rely on the referee for everything.

Oku fought for rebounding foul. This was the Jazz's fifth foul. The Clippers had already made free throws. This time, they were fouled as they implemented the foul tactics in time.

Coach Sloan shook his head off the court. Even if he wanted to perform foul tactics, their target would definitely not be Ji Guoqiu, who had a free throw shooting percentage of more than 90%. Such a foul is meaningless, and they have almost no hope of turning the tables.

The 20,000 Clippers fans in Staples are already celebrating the victory in advance, knowing that Brother Pandas will not let them down. With 22 seconds left in the game, they will not give the Jazz another chance.

Ji Guoqiu made both free throws, with a score of 105:100. The Jazz players looked lifeless at this time, whether they were five people on the court or substitutes on the bench.

The Jazz wants to turn defeat into victory now, and can only hope that the "Miller Moment" will be reproduced.

But the "Miller Moment" of the entire NBA only once, and a 3:0 score is inevitable. Once you fall behind 0:3, no team in NBA history has been able to turn the tables.

"Are we really going to be swept by the Clippers?" The Jazz players were thinking so at this moment. No one wanted to be swept in the playoffs. At this time, their feelings were simply terrible, and even being eliminated in the first round was better than being swept in the second round.

Sloan still suspended his last twenty seconds for a short time. However, even he himself did not think that the Jazz still had a chance.

Charles Barkley said at this moment: "Have you seen a big man who is seven feet tall, who can score, support, defend and block shots? I don't know if I can see big guys like Brother Panda in the future, but his game is really pleasing to the eye. Thinking about his data, his efficiency on the court, including his extremely high hits on the free throw line as a seven-foot man, you will feel that he is unparalleled. I know some people criticize him for not being bloody enough in the game, he does not have the passion of his brother, and playing too civilized, but as long as you see his extraordinary performance at critical moments and his long-term and stable contribution to the team, you will understand that he is a real core."

After the game restarted, the Jazz spent ten seconds to create a shooting opportunity. Kyle Korver made an extremely long-distance three-pointer one meter outside the three-point line...

"Bang!"

Such shooting is obviously not a job that this three-point shooter is good at. At least he is just an ordinary positioning pitcher now. There are many big differences between an ordinary shooter with a historical extreme shooter like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.

The Jazz still did not give up. It was no longer their will, but their dignity was causing trouble. The Jazz players' self-esteem made them unable to accept giving up resistance when there were ten seconds left in the game, so they used another foul tactic against Billups.

Billups made both free throws, with a score of 107:100. At this time, the Jazz players could finally convince themselves that they could give up, because even if they replaced Reggie Miller, it would be useless.

The final score was 107:100. After the game, Sloan simply shook hands with old Dunleavy, said congratulations in a mosquito-like voice, and then took their disciples to escape from Staples Stadium.

The players on both sides hardly exchanged jerseys. The atmosphere on both sides of the series was not friendly. As the party who always suffered losses, their players were already very angry with the Clippers! At this time, even the necessary politicians could be avoided. Most of these are only in their twenties, and at best, athletes in their early thirties are not as hypocritical as politicians. If they hate them, they hate them!

Ji Guochou scored 20 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomomiya scored 28 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Billups scored 11 points and 5 assists, Mobri scored 15 points, Artest scored 14 points, and James Percy scored 8 points.

Deron Williams scored 35 points and 5 assists, Boozer scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, Oku scored 16 points and 3 rebounds, Kyle Korver scored 11 points, Kirirenko scored 12 points, and Millsap scored 10 points.

At the post-match press conference, Jazz point guard Delon Williams looked very quiet when talking about him and Boozer, saying: "I think I haven't played a good game in this series. I think Boozer has the same feeling. Our team must integrate energy to win. I know it's too late to say this now. We're in a real desperate situation. We won't think about turning defeat into victory, but we have to fight for dignity. As long as they don't win the fourth game, we won't give up."

Turkish Oku said: "Brother Panda is a very good player. He has strong low-level singles and has excellent support. Defending is a very difficult thing. I have never done this well. I think he is more difficult to defend than Duncan, and he is faster and more flexible."

Sloan said at the post-match press conference: "We have no reason to let our opponents score more than 100 points in every game in the playoffs. This is the responsibility of the coach and the responsibility of the players. We are not tenacious enough, like a team that has lost their defense. If we want to win back the next game, if we don't want to be swept, we must first make a defense change."

Carlos Boozer also came to the post-match press conference with an injured leg after the game. As a result, he was questioned and criticized by his own media as soon as he started. The media in Salt Lake City changed direction and asked him why the series this season is far inferior to last season?

"Yes, it's all my fault. It's my fault for the team not to score a free throw. It's my fault for losing three games in a row. I'll blame me! It's my fault for not equalizing the score. It's my fault for the opponent to get a layup easily. It's my fault for us to perform tactics on the offensive end. It's my fault for Heineken to get Budweiser!"
