On May 10, Ji Guomo, who survived the disaster, decided to deal with the Lakers in one go and complete the task of sweeping the opponent.

The Magic expressed his opinion before the game. He believed that the Clippers have a large number of high-quality outside shooters, the twin brothers in the starting lineup, Billups and Avraro all have excellent outside offensive abilities. Crawford, Dragic, Barnes, and Garcia, who came on the bench, are all players with speed and range.

In the first three games, the Clippers made 30 of 68 three-pointers, reaching a 44% three-point shooting percentage. The twin brothers, Billups and Crawford all used three-pointers to heat up the Clippers' offense at critical moments.

The Clippers are not only strong inside, but also give full play to their advantages on the outside. Not only did the three-pointer give the Lakers a heavy blow, but the passing routes of Billups and Ji Guoqiu are also problems that the Lakers cannot solve. When the Clippers play pick-and-roll, neither Gasol nor Chandler can keep up with the defensive pace in the inside and were killed by the pick-and-roll tactics of Clippers' outside players many times.

The Magician's remarks made Phil Jackson secretly dissatisfied. The Zen master actually hates the remarks of these team champions before the game. Don't he know what the Magician said? But sometimes it's not that you know the problem, so you can definitely solve it. Otherwise, just ask the Magician to be a coach?

Many celebrities on teams cannot learn to be low-key after retirement. They cannot forget the feeling of being in the spotlight at the peak. They like to point fingers at the team the most. Psychology is enough to show their presence. This phenomenon not only appears in the field of basketball, but also in the field of football. However, the remarks of these people are actually not constructive to the team. Those experts say more professionally than them. Senior fans do not know less than them. But neither of the latter will have much impact on the team. Only these celebrities have the greatest impact on the team.

Kobe is also having a headache now. Although the criticism of him is not fierce, Pan cares more about the team's inability to win, and he is even more unable to accept the result of being swept.

Pans faced an extremely embarrassing problem in this round of series, that is, it is difficult to reach a balance point in terms of scoring offense or passing. In the first battle with the Clippers, Kobe scored 30 shots in the game, but he could also hit 15 goals. His shooting percentage was as high as 50%, which was remarkable in terms of efficiency, but when he scored 42 points, the Lakers finally lost the game at the last moment.

Similarly, in the second game, Kobe slightly reduced the number of shots and also had the efficiency of 10 of 20 shots, but while he scored 24 points, the Lakers lost the game again, and the gap was even bigger.

Finally in the third game, Kobe deliberately reduced the number of offensive shots this time, with only 15 shots in the game. He scored 9 goals in total and scored 22 points. Such scoring efficiency was simply unreasonable, and he also sent 8 assists.

Kobe obviously tried to organize the team's offensive in this game. Logically, he performed so well, and the team should win, but the Lakers finally lost the game with only six points. This also seems to mean that no matter whether Kobe chooses to attack by himself or passes, the Lakers cannot win.

Lakers fans think this year's playoffs look familiar. The same situation also happened in the first round of the 2006 playoffs. In the regular season that season, Kobe averaged 35.4 points per game, unsurprisingly becoming the league's scoring leader. However, when he led the Suns 3:1 in the first round of the playoffs, he encountered a super reversal from the Phoenix.

At that time, Kobe made 20 of 35 shots in the fifth game, and scored 50 points in the high efficiency, but the Lakers finally lost. In the critical seventh game, Kobe made 8 of 13 shots in the first half, with an astonishing 23 points in efficiency, but in the entire second half, he only made three shots and scored 1 point with only one free throw.

In today's crucial fourth game, Kobe seemed to be performing the tragedy of 2006. He performed very efficiently in the first quarter, made 3 of 3 three-pointers, scored 16 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, and also gave Ji Guomo a elbow, bleeding the little fox's lips.

The reason why Ji Guowei was so angry was that he played no worse than Kobe today. As an inside player, he was tall and shot, and his athletic ability was not inferior to the third position. His attack ability was spread throughout the half court. He could attack from the inside and shoot from the outside, and his shooting range could even reach two steps outside the three-point line.

Gasol had no choice but to attack Ji Guomeng with flexible and maneuverable attacks. When Ji Guomeng frequently pulled to the outside line to attack today, his defense was still difficult to expand. When the Lakers used Odom and Moon to defend, their height could not limit the Fox brother.

In the fourth game, Ji Guomeng scored the first time in a fast break. He received the ball outside the three-point line and hit the ball without a defense. He raised the problem again for the Lakers' defense at the beginning. Then Ji Guomeng continued to attack the Lakers' inside line, first cut from a low post and dunked with both hands, and then singled Gasol with his back at the waist. Gasol failed to win the referee's whistle and failed to make an offensive foul. Ji Guomeng broke into the basket while Gasol fell to the ground, staged a wonderful windmill dunk, and gave the Lakers a heavy blow.

It was after this dunk that Kobe secretly gave Ji Guomo a elbow while making up for defense, and the referee showed a technical foul.

The two teams played 28:28 in the first quarter. The Lakers relied on the crazy Peter Pan to keep the game in a stalemate. Kobe scored 16 points in the first quarter, but no assists.

In the second quarter, the Clippers no longer defended Kobe alone and began to double-team the Pans, but they still could not stop Kobe's crazy performance, just like the Lakers could not stop the two brothers' dominant performance.

The Zen Master asked Chandler and Gasol to switch positions in the second quarter. After the game, Gasol held the ball at the basket, but a close shot was missed by the interference of Panda Brother. In the defense, Gasol fell to the ground again in the face of Panda Brother's breakthrough, but the referee was still indifferent. This was the second time his sister-in-law made a foul and failed.

Ji Guoqiu was alone in the second quarter, first with a successful defense and then a wonderful dunk. This made him feel like he scored. Then he made a continuous split shot with Billups after pick-and-roll. His sister-in-law found that he still couldn't keep up. Brother Panda saw Gasol's defense as if nothing had happened in the past few minutes. Finally, in the end, the Zen master could only replace Gasol with Odom at the 7th minute and 50th second, and then replaced Gasol again in the last two minutes of the first half. At this time, the Lakers were already three points behind.

After Gasol re-played, he faced Ji Guoqiu again and quickly received a pass at the basket. However, facing Panda Brother's unforgettable defense, Gasol's left layup bounced out again. Chandler grabbed the rebound. But he was defended by the twin brothers one by one and the other. Kobe was so angry that he slapped the faces on the outside, angry that his two insiders had such a clumsy performance.

Of course, Kobe had reason to be angry today. Today, Pan started the crazy offensive mode. He made 18 crazy shots in the first half, scored 10 goals, and scored 28 points and 5 rebounds. However, his team has been lagging behind, which made Kobe think of the painful experience of scoring 50 points in 2006 and losing in the end.

The score in the first half ended at a 58:55 figure, and the Clippers entered the second half with a 3-point lead.

Ji Guochou contributed 12 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in the first half, and Ji Guomo's 20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

After the start of the second half, Gasol's performance was still lukewarm, until the third quarter lasted for 3 and a half minutes. The Spanish took the first shot at the basket, but was still ruthlessly blocked by Ji Guoqiu. What made the Lakers regret was that Gasol not only did not know shame and be brave, but instead fell silent within the next two minutes.

With 5 minutes left in the third quarter, Gasol finally got the chance. Odom missed a jump shot, and Gasol took offensive rebounds from the crowd to make a comeback. But Gasol made his first shot and was immediately responded by Pandas' brother crazy. In the next two minutes, the Lakers were scored 8 points in a row by the crazy Pandas, and the score difference between the two teams was instantly widened to 10 points.

Here we have to mention the performance of the point guards of the two teams. As veterans in the team, Billups and Byron Davis each assume the heavy responsibility of controlling the team's lifeline. They are the head coaches on the court. However, Byron Davis gradually lost command of the team from the third quarter, which also led to Lakers players slowly losing control after the score was widened.

In the third quarter, after Ji Guochou scored 8 points in a row and took a 10-point lead, Lakers players were unable to control their emotions in the face of the upcoming sweep. Lakers coach Jackson still did not give up his efforts, but he still failed to put out the depression in Chandler and Odom.

In a defense in the second half of this quarter, Odom contradicted Ji Guochou fiercely. Seeing this, Billups immediately ran up to help Ji Guochou up, and at the same time pulled away Panda Brother quickly. On the other side, Grant Hill also grabbed the fox brother who wanted to step forward.

The twin brothers are the lifeblood of the Clippers. If they are involved in conflict and are sent off, it will be a loss. In order to achieve the hope of a comeback, the Lakers made a fierce foul, and it is not impossible to tease the Clippers players in a fight. If the Clippers lose non-combatically, this happened to be the Lakers' strategy. At this time, the rationality of the two veterans of the Clippers made a great contribution.

On the other hand, Byron Davis and Kobe had no expression, as if they were not related to them.

Not long after, Lakers center Chandler made a fierce foul again. Ji Guomeng's layup was slapped in the head by the boxing champion. Although this was not a big deal, such a foul made Ji Guomeng angry. This time, Billups took the lead to comfort all the Clippers players on the court. Dunleavy also deliberately kept Billups and Hill, and the two veterans quickly controlled the fox brother's anger.

Compared with Billups, Byron Davis and Kobe were again. They failed to control the team's emotions, resulting in the Lakers' consecutive malicious fouls at the end of the third quarter. Chandler was eventually sent out, and Odom also received a malicious foul. The Clippers unknowingly increased the score to 15 points.

Now just think about the Clippers' rules, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with more than 15 points, which was basically equivalent to being swept by the Clippers. Especially Chandler was sent off in the third quarter, and they were not dominant inside, so they could no longer compete with the Clippers.

In the last quarter, Gasol and Kobeliu were trimmed and returned to the court for their last goal. However, in the direct contest with Ji Guoqiu, Gasol's weakness was further exposed. After Espanyol was disturbed and missed, he was immediately beaten to 2+1 by Panda Brother. Then Gasol was stealing and made a mistake by the Fox Brother. The first minute after reappearing in the fourth quarter, it almost became Espanyol's nightmare. The Clippers scored an 8:0 wave, which widened the gap between the two teams to 20+ in a blink of an eye. The game was completely over.

In the last 5 minutes of the game, Kobe's eyes were inflamed. He ignored the double team in front of him and made a three-pointer step outside the three-point line, and the result was a bounce. Gasol was hit outside the field by Ji Guochou while fighting for the rebound. Odom stepped forward and slapped Ji Guochou's arm again.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Ji Guochou immediately twitched the basketball on the floor with cleverness!

The referee hesitated for a moment, and finally showed a technical foul on Odom and drove him out of the field. At the same time, Ji Guoqiu, who threw the ball, also won the first personal technical foul in this year's playoffs.

Lakers fans began to leave the game early at this time, but Clippers fans were so happy that they smiled. The Giant Pandas got a technical foul, which had no effect at all, but Odom was sent out, and the Lakers' inside line was completely broken, and they had already won the game.

Old Dunleavy quickly replaced the twin brothers and a group of main players. Without Chandler and Odom, the Lakers were sent with Joel Anthony and McDyce's inside combination was enough. Now they can start to consider winning their opponents in the next round.

Kobe was also substituted. After Pan's tough performance in the first half, he fell into a sluggish shooting percentage in the second half. Fans can clearly feel that he no longer had the murderous aura and passion that he had at the beginning. On the one hand, it was because of the Clippers' targeted defense against him, and on the other hand, the poor defense of the Lakers' team has caused the score gap to continue to widen, so he seemed to sleepwalking on the court helplessly.
