Brevin Knight's playing time gradually decreased as the Clippers advanced in the playoffs. Dunleavy, the old man would rather play the No. 1 position with the old Cat than use him. Brevin Knight is too low in height and has poor shooting ability. It is difficult to make a difference on the offensive end by just breaking through the playoffs. Moreover, Brevin is no longer young. He is the same age as Iverson, but his explosive power drops faster than the answer. His breakthrough is difficult to cause damage to a team like the Lakers with excellent defense.

The old cat Mobley can shoot and attack, and has good ball control ability. He is asked to play No. 1 position and be responsible for offense, and the Panda brother is responsible for supporting the Clippers. There will be no impact on all aspects. This is also the reason why one of the two can get a salary of 8 million yuan, while the other can only get a basic salary of the veteran.

Some players in the NBA who have technical or physical defects usually find it difficult to get playing time in the playoffs. Their weaknesses will be targeted by the opponent's coach until they die in the playoffs. This is not a joke.

After the timeout, Ji Guoqiu assisted Artest on the offensive end, and defended the beast was Vujasic. This guy who had been in love with Sharapova for a while in the future did not have much shortcomings. He was a qualified role player.

Artest faced his new opponent and scored two goals in the interior. The beast's 260-pound weight made Vujasic, who was only 210 pounds, unable to bear the weight.

The first quarter was 2 minutes and 15 seconds, with a score of 11:18. The Clippers' timeout was not in vain. Artest scored five points in a row, narrowing the gap to single digits.

When Phil Jackson saw the move, he immediately replaced Turiav and asked the French butcher to play the fourth position, lowering Odom to the third position to deal with Artest.

The Lakers' change of formation also played a role. Odom can have some restrictions on Artest by virtue of his height advantage.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the two teams started a defensive battle on the court. Kobe became selfless on the court today than in the previous game, and the Lakers' offense was still in his hands. But Kobe won't hold the ball for too long today. As long as he breaks through the difficult Ji Guohuo and attracts the Clippers to double-team, Kobe will quickly transfer the basketball to a weak defensive position, allowing his teammates to continue their subsequent attacks. After passing the ball, he immediately runs without the ball and continues to pull the Clippers' defensive line.

The Lakers have such a great master to attract defense. Even if Kobe does not have a basketball in his hand, the Clippers will have to focus a considerable amount of energy on him. In this way, Kobe will invisibly reduce a large part of the defensive pressure on his teammates.

Kobe's off-ball run on the court involved part of the Clippers' defensive energy. Famal scored four points in the last two minutes with his breakthrough and emergency stop jump shot. Today, the Lakers' scoring points became as even as the first game, blooming more points. Such a Lakers are the most difficult Lakers to deal with.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 15:22, and both teams scored not high. The Clippers only scored 15 points, setting a record for the lowest score in a single quarter of this year's playoffs.

Ji Guoqiu scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in the first quarter. Ji Guomiang scored 3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, Artest scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, Billups scored 2 points and 1 assist, and Mobri scored 2 points.

Kobe scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Famal scored 5 points, Odom scored 5 points, Walton scored 3 points, Fisher scored 3 points, Bynum scored 2 points.

"We need more ball transfers and cooperation. Don't stop, that will make it easier for the Lakers to defend. Everyone moves and use more unball pick-and-rolls to find open shots and easy layups. Although the routines in our tactical training class are rigid, you should also use them. Having routines is better than not having routines."

Old Dunleavy was a little excited after the first quarter. After the last big victory, the players obviously couldn't find their state on the court today. The tactical execution was too casual and they took action directly when they had the opportunity. It seemed to be decisive, but these opportunities were actually not good, so the hit rate was imagined?

If the Clippers players continue to play against the Lakers in the previous game, they will definitely not have a good effect. They played smoothly in the last game and could do whatever they could shoot on the offensive end. But if they were so casual today, they would not die miserably. The Lakers on the opposite side were not weak, and they were not strong enough to win the game as easily as the Lakers.

During the second quarter, the two teams performed half-heartedly, and were replaced by Zen masters in the first quarter. Gasol, who was mixed in the substitute lineup in the second quarter, finally got the chance and started a big kill on the court!

When the Zen master saw Gasol performing poorly in the first quarter, he immediately replaced Espanyol early in order to make him look confident in the second tier facing the Clippers' substitute. Gasol should be above any twins in terms of strength, but in the first three games, his performance was barely comparable to the two, which made the Lakers always at a disadvantage in the inside.

Phil Jackson knew in his heart that if his team's inside line continued to be at a disadvantage, the Lakers would have little chance of winning three more games, and Gasol had to play at the All-Star level before they could advance.

At 8 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter, the score was 19:26, and the old Dunleavy replaced the twins.

In the substitute battle, the score difference between the two teams has not changed. Old Dunleavy is naturally not as thorough as the Zen master, but he replaced the main force in the first quarter in advance. Instead, he sent Billups to lead the substitute lineup against Gasol in the second quarter. This was also a coincidence. The Zen master could have been considered a trick, but he was confused by the Clippers.

"Did I do something amazing just now?" said Dunleavy.

Gasol started a big kill in the second tier of the Lakers, and Billups also took the opportunity to beat Famal. Whether it was physical or experience, the key man had completely defeated the Lakers' two No. 1 positions.

In the Clippers' three-round series, Billups continued to perform stably and efficiently. His data was not very impressive, but when the team needed him to stand up, Billups did not disappoint the fans' expectations and scored many key goals.

In the second quarter, the three absolute main players, Billups, Ji Guohun and Ji Guoqiu, returned to the court, the Clippers' offense began to get on track, and their feel began to recover.

Kobe and the twins returned to the court at the same time. Pan first made a three-pointer on the offensive end. This shot was very unreasonable, but Kobe just kept this unreasonable shot to a certain number of times. Phil Jackson instead encouraged him to shoot this ball appropriately because the return rate was very high.

Ji Guomeng defended two steps away from Kobe this time. He didn't expect Kobe to shoot one step away from the three-point line. Today, Kobe seemed to have been playing very reasonably. He thought the opponent would not shoot such a ball again, but he was tragically **!

"How does it feel to score 50 points?" Ji Guomeng activated his venomous snake skill towards Kobe when he ran to the frontcourt.

"You will never know." Kobe responded to Ji Guomo with words this time, because the little fox had not scored 50 points yet.

After Kobe said this, he felt that his trash talk seemed very clever today, and he suddenly became excited. His eyes lit up and continued to mock Ji Guomo: "Do you know the feeling of 81 points? Oh... Maybe you will never know this feeling. So what about 60 points? Well... I think it's still very difficult."

"A guy who could only sit on the bench in the first season. When I got 40+, were you still sitting on the bench watching O'Neal play?" Ji Guomo was so angry that his words were vicious, but they had no technical content, which was not like his style.

Both of them were so angry that they glared at each other.

Ji Guomeng had arrived at the frontcourt at this time. He didn't notice that the ball passed by Billups to him happened to fly past him. He was actually just polite with Kobe. He forgot to catch the ball!

"This idiot!" Ji Guochou sighed, basketball went out of bounds. The dead fox made a mistake this time, and it was stupid!

Ji Guomomike shrank his neck and apologized to Billups repeatedly, because this mistake was not his, but was counted on Mr. Key. This is a typical cheating father, that is, Billups has a good temper. If it were Paul's little master, he should have gone wild at this time!

The Lakers took back the ball without knowing what happened. Kobe forced his breakthrough to break through Ji Guohuo on the offensive end. When he arrived at the free throw line, he suddenly stopped and turned around, made a shooting move to shake the Fox brother up, and then made an easy shot, almost creating Ji Guohuo with a 2+1.

"Silly guy, have you seen it? If I want to score, I can get 50+ on your head at any time." Kobe once again mocked Ji Guohuo. Now he has the upper hand and the team is ahead. A hateful dead fox can't fight back.

Ji Guomeng crossed his waist and watched Kobe go back angrily. Brother Panda serves at the bottom line and smiles telepathically: "You know now, trash talk is not omnipotent. There is no outstanding performance on the court. Even if you can spit lotus flowers, you will only be slapped in the face."

"Nonsense, I knew it a long time ago. If I didn't see that I was slapped in the face, I couldn't fight back? Boss, please pass me a few good goals, and I'm going to slap the face."

When the Clippers attacked, the giant pandas passed a wonderful back pass to the poor Fox, and another pass without looking at people.

Ji Guomeng received the basketball, but did not get a good shooting opportunity. Radmanovic ignored others and only recognized him for close defense. Ji Guomeng did not dare to force his shot, and he also remembered Kobe's last game. He didn't have a chance to see it, so he gave the basketball to Artest again.

The Lakers beat people and stared at people today, and there were not many double-teams against Clippers players. The Zen master asked them to watch their defenders and ensure that they did not lose their position. If they were beaten one-on-one, they would be beaten!

Artest faced Odom's defense and did not have a strong attack, and passed the basketball to Billups.

Among the five Clippers, the most obvious positioning advantage is Billups. Lao Yu couldn't keep up with him. Famal's strength and experience were too poor. The key man had the ability to beat all the Lakers' point guards. At this time, the Clippers players naturally had to hand over the basketball to the person who was most confident.

Ji Guomeng was very depressed. Although Billups got points in a row today, he had no chance and could only devote all his energy to defense. But even if he tried his best, Kobe could still get a lot of points on his head. He couldn't do it to defend Kobe. He was originally a misplaced defense. Although he was beaten by Kobe in the last game, he could at least fight back. Today, he could only be passively beaten and could not fight back. The little fox felt heartbroken all of a sudden. He had never been so depressed.

At the end of the first half, the score was 43:38. The Clippers scored 23 points in the second quarter. This score was neither high nor low. Most of it was obtained by Billups and Ji Guoqiu. Fortunately, they did a good job in the second quarter, and the Lakers scored even lower in the second quarter. The Clippers defeated the Lakers in a single quarter and chased the score difference to only 5 points.

Ji Guochou scored 8 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomomiya scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, Artest scored 8 points and 2 rebounds, Billups scored 11 points and 3 assists, Mobley scored 4 points, and Percy scored 2 points.

Kobe scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Odom scored 7 points and 3 rebounds, Gasol scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, Bynum scored 4 points and 3 rebounds, Famal scored 5 points, Fisher scored 4 points, Walton scored 3 points, and Radmanovic scored 2 points.

"We did a good job in the first half. We continued to limit other players besides Kobe, and continued to grab their frontcourt rebounds. On the offensive end, we had the opportunity to play at the basket as much as possible in the second half. Today, the Lakers' defense focus is very high and the defense intensity is also very large. We are not cost-effective in shooting from the outside, and more to the free throw line is the best choice."

Old Dunleavy was generally satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. The team felt too bad in the first half of the first quarter and dug a big hole for himself. But they had already tried hard to fill in half in the second quarter. As long as they played well in the second half, they would strive to equalize the score in the third quarter and save the final battle until the last quarter, and then they would solve the Lakers in one go.

Ji Guoqiu was in the locker room and saw the dead fox feeling depressed, he said to himself: "In the last game, you volunteered to defend Kobe. Didn't you decide to sacrifice yourself at that time? Since you knew for a long time that Kobe would definitely be humiliated by the opponent, what's the point of depressing now?"

Ji Guomeng took a sip of Gatorade: "Damn it, it's light. I've obviously defended very well and done everything I should do. I made it more difficult for him to take action and it's even more uncomfortable, but that bastard will still make a shot. Thinking of this, I might as well let him make a shot. How should tmd be prevented?" Ji Guomeng thought of the depression, slapped the chair hard, then sighed, and said in his heart: "But you are right, I asked myself, so no matter how depressed I will resist."

Seeing his virtue, Ji Guochou couldn't help laughing: "I know it would be very unhappy to be beaten by Kobe in all kinds of force, but think about it, you were so bad in the last game, didn't everyone praise you for doing well after the game? Today is the same, everyone will see your contribution. As for what you said you can't defend, it means that Kobe has a good feel. Since it feels good, you can let him shoot, but you must not let him kill our inside!" Panda brother began to enter the coaching role and continued to comfort: "I think you are a big shot. In fact, you did a good job. It was you who blocked him outside that our overall defense was not torn to pieces by the Lakers' offense. This is the most important point. You are Huang Jiguang, who perfectly blocked the eye-catching things, allowing us to deal with other Lakers players relatively easily. Don't you know how much contribution you have made?"
