Chapter 653: Strong Walls and Clear Fields
Ji Guochou said at the post-match press conference: "We laid the winning game in the first quarter. n∈ This is probably the smoothest first quarter I have ever seen. We do whatever we want and our defense is very good. After playing the start, the subsequent game will become much easier."
The Clippers won the championship twice in two consecutive years, and Ji Guoqiu was the most valuable player in the finals.
This year, he is likely to continue to write another brilliant move.
Clippers owner Ballmer said after the team won: "It feels great to be able to win the Western Conference championship. I can't wait to embrace the championship trophy."
Before this game, Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown seemed to have a premonition that the team would lose. He said in an interview with Los Angeles media: "I respect the Clippers very much. They have panda, fox, and a large number of excellent players. If they find the rhythm of the game, it will be difficult for us to win." The progress of the game was as Brown predicted, and the Cavaliers were powerless. After the game, the Cavaliers' coach and players' faces were full of "disappointment".
"They put a lot of pressure on us and even destroyed our belief that we wanted to win the game. When the belief was lost, we completely lost control of the game."
Ji Guomeng performed well today and was very happy, but after the game, he got a news from the media, which made him very upset.
This news has nothing to do with this finals. The relationship between the Spurs 24-year-old All-Star guard Tony Parker and 31-year-old Hollywood female star Eva has rifts. According to "People", the cold war between the two sides was because Parker slept with his teammate's wife and staged a "stealing his wife's wife."
It sounds like this has nothing to do with Ji Guomo. But a good bookmaker specially opened the market for this. It speculated whether Eva would date other NBA stars to retaliate against Parker.
The bookmaker included eight players as alternatives. Among them were Kobe, Kemp, Parker's teammates Duncan, Ginobili, and the popular James, Anthony, Wade and Ji Guohumi. The bookmaker gave these players the odds of becoming Eva's next date with 10. The bookmaker said: "When Eva dates another NBA star, this effect must be different from the same gardener, just like the plot of "Crazy Housewife" starring her."
Ji Guomo said that he had anything to do with me. He had no idea about a 31-year-old woman. Is his reputation now so bad that it is comparable to Kobe?
Back in the finals, what was surprising about the Clippers' first game was not their big victory. Many people have guessed this. What was really surprising is that the Clippers did not use Ji Guohuo to defend James. The comments before the game seemed to be just smoke bombs at this moment.
Before the finals, the Clippers swear to the media, "We have set up foolproof countermeasures to deal with James." The result is completely nonsense. They did not make any arrangements for James at all, just normal defensive arrangements.
Dunleavy, the old man felt very proud after the game and explained with a smile: "The Clippers actually have no special solution to how to defend James. There are no other new tricks. Honestly, we will play our defense well. We will not create some new defensive strategies for a certain player. We have not done this all season, and we are not going to try this series. We will play the same way we used to."
Ji Guoqiu, who acted with Old Dunleavy before the game, also said: "Obviously, there may be some problems with our arrangements, but we like our defense, so we will not show some new strategies or new systems. I think the key to defending James is to maintain normal attention and let him face different defenders. We will not let one person defend James. At the same time, we cannot destroy another part of the defense to defend one person. James will get his shot opportunity, but we must make sure that other Cavaliers players cannot play."
In the first game of the finals, fans who bought the Cavaliers and were swept were satisfied. The Clippers' absolute advantage made them relieved. After the first game, the Gambling Group reduced the odds of the Cavaliers' swept from 1.3 to 1.1.
Cia and Los Angeles police have also increased their protection for Clippers players and their families. Not only the two brothers, but also the families of Clippers players such as Billups, are also protected more strictly. Los Angeles police have to go around the door of the two brothers from time to time. If they do not strengthen prevention at this time, someone may take risks.
Ji Guomeng is actually very afraid of death. At this critical moment, he not only stayed away from home, but also forced the singer to stay at home with him, calling it a protective girlfriend, but in fact he played imprisonment at home.
Little Hermione said she also needs protection, but the dead fox dared not go out to cheat unscrupulously during this period. Parker's lessons and crackdowns have made him more honest during this period, and he has changed from four times a week to two times. The British girl can only feel a little aggrieved during this period. She temporarily takes his 1:1 ratio of 28 to solve it herself.
Ji Guoqiu was also frustrated. In the first game, Kristen and Krool Moretz appeared in the Staples Arena, and he once again missed a possible 3p. Those damn media kept reporting on two girls who might be la la, giving him no chance to have a meal with the two girls or something.
However, he can understand the crazy media. It is said that two of Krool Moretz's four brothers are gays. It can be seen that the tradition of this family may be that, so it is entirely possible to get together with Twilight Girl.
"Fuck, what's the miserable thing about you? Did the little shredded carrot squeeze you hard?"
“What is pressing?”
"Oh, it's a long story."
Ji Guomeng sighed several times before saying, "That stinky girl is now implementing the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. She has to squeeze my seeds out of my life every day before she is willing to release them. I have gone through so many hardships and can only leave a little seed every day to hand it over to Little Hermione. Having said that, do you have any good health wine to introduce? If this continues, my kidneys can't stand it."
Ji Guochou: “…………”
June 3. The second game of the finals will start again. Staples Arena will once again become the coffin to bury the little emperor today.
The Clippers successfully restricted James in the last game, and the rest of the Cavaliers failed to stand up, and the defending champion won more easily. After two days of rest, the Cavaliers hoped to play their own style away. However, their momentum still did not improve. The Clippers beat the Cavaliers at the beginning, and the Cavaliers had no choice but to face the Clippers' inside line.
Matt Barnes has always been an underrated player, and he successfully restricted James' feet again today, allowing the rest of the Clippers to attack boldly.
The so-called limitation of the Clippers is to prevent James from leading the entire team. The defensive strategy is to not double-team James, and at the same time, he will take as difficult methods as possible every time he makes a move to reduce his efficiency. If James is in a very good condition and Barnes and Hill can't defend it, it doesn't matter. Let him shoot from the outside as much as possible. No matter how many goals he can score in the end, the two brothers are sure to score more than he can.
In the first quarter, except for Barnes, he defended with all his strength. Without a single point, 8 of the other 9 players on the Clippers scored and scored. The Clippers were in high positions, and the Cavaliers were unable to defend.
Today, the Clippers started with 6:0 again and led the way since then.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers widened the score difference to 10 points with 16:6.
James then scored 5 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 7 points, but the Clippers immediately suppressed it. Ji Guomeng and Billups each made a three-pointer, scoring a 10:2 wave, and opened the gap with 28:15 in one fell swoop.
In the second quarter, Ji Guoqiu scored 4 points in a low post and broke the Cavaliers' inside again. During this period, the Cavaliers only relied on Valaijo to make 1 point.
James just took a break in the second quarter, and Crawford's three-pointer from the outside was cooperated with Ji Guoqiu's inside attack, quickly expanding the Clippers' lead to 35:18.
Mike Brown looked at the timer. Just one minute passed in the second quarter. Can't you change James now?
The second Cavaliers leader Mo Williams finally took the upper hand against Dragic in the second quarter, causing the Clippers to foul, and scored two points for the Cavaliers at the free throw line.
However, Ji Guoqiu immediately led the team to make a tougher attack and counterattack, throwing one from the left and one from the right, knocking Milicic and JJ Hickson again, widening the gap to 38:20.
In fact, Ji Guoqiu has not only beaten these two people today. Brand was also beaten by their two brothers in the inside. This year's old captain could not pose any threat to the two. Clippers fans also thought that Old Dunleavy used a pair of rookie twins to bet on the team's future was too risky, but now they are glad that the Clippers really did this. Look at Brand now, he no longer has the ability to bet on the All-Star.
The Cavaliers' role players could not even get a three-minute break for James, so the Gorilla had to rest for two minutes before they were back on the game. In the last game, the Gorilla played for 40 minutes, but if it weren't for the garbage time at the end of the game, the Little Emperor might have played for more than 45 minutes. Looking at today's appearance, James might be able to play for another three quarters before he could rest.
After the game started again, James once again faced Old Hill.
James played very smart this time, and Hill's defensive trap had no effect on James. The Gorilla scored 6 points in a row with free throws and dunks, chasing the score to 38:26, but the entire situation was still under the control of the Clippers.
Ji Guochou used his sharp high-level breakthrough in the second quarter to make the Cavaliers' situation worse. Valaijo's fake fall could not resist the attack of the giant pandas. Ji Guochou's breakthrough scored four points in a row, turning the score into 42:26, pushing the Cavaliers to the brink of 20 points behind again.
After the Cavaliers had no choice but to request a timeout, Ji Guochou transferred his position and scored a goal at the low post of 45 degrees to widen the gap to 18 points.
Now Ji Guoqiu has increased his skill bar to more than four. The Cavaliers can't stop such an all-around giant panda. When they started to double-team, Panda brother played pick-and-roll with Dragic again, assisting the Latvians to make a three-pointer, and the score difference became 19 points.
James has no choice but to have any teammates’ defenses that cannot limit Panda Brother. He can’t defend Ji Guoqie himself, right?
It would be fine if Ji Guoqiu only performed, he was sure not to lose to his opponent, but the fox was also playing, Billups was playing, and even the entire Clippers were playing, so how could he play this game?
When James thought about this, he felt a little reluctant to give up. He could not see any hope. The Clippers were easier to deal with the Cavaliers than before to deal with the Lakers and the Suns. The game began to develop in the direction of garbage time before the end of the first half. The Clippers quickly led by 50:28.
Ji Guomo then replaced the giant panda, and the old Dunleavy asked Ji Guochou to take a break.
After the Fox brother came on the court, the offensive center began to move to the outside. The Cavaliers had just adapted to the Clippers' style of playing in the inside in the first half of the quarter. Now the opponent's offensive tactics suddenly changed, and the Cavaliers players were stunned again.
James scored 2+1 on Ji Guomeng's head and recovered 3 points, but Billups immediately broke through and made a layup to fight back to the emperor. Then he joined forces with Ji Guomeng to complete a 7:0**, and the Clippers once again opened the score with 58:31.
Since then, the Cavaliers' offensive end has not improved, let alone the defensive end. At the end of the half, the Clippers led by as much as 21 points with 64:35, and the game once again lost the suspense early.
During the half-time break, commentators from all countries basically sentenced the Cavaliers to death. The Clippers played both offense and defense, and the two brothers' offensives were one after another. The Clippers had almost no time to be in a cold show. On the other hand, they could only use James' personal performance, and occasionally scored a few points, but then they would be hit by the Clippers and could not narrow the score at all.
In the visiting team's locker room, the Cavaliers players all looked desperate. Coach Brown held the tactical board but didn't know how to draw it. Facing the aggressive defending champion, the Cavaliers had no choice.
In the third quarter, Brand and Valaicho each scored two points to help the Cavaliers open the offensive situation. Then Mo made another three-pointer, and the gap narrowed a little.
But the Animal Brothers continued the touch of the first half and soon returned to their colors. The two teams went back and forth in the offense at the beginning of this quarter. The Clippers did not open the score anymore, but the Cavaliers also found it difficult to turn over. The defending champion firmly maintained the lead of about 20 points.
This stalemate game came to the middle of the third quarter. Crawford suddenly broke out. After playing, he scored consecutively singles, and scored 6 points by himself to suppress the Cavaliers' momentum. The Clippers regained the lead with 23 points with 75:52.
James turned around and fought back with a three-pointer, but his subsequent dunk was actually pressed by Panda brother, and Barnes got the basketball and passed it directly to the Fox brother. After Ji Guomeng received the ball, he ran a long distance attack and finally used a tomahawk dunk to help the team gain a 24-point lead.
The Cavaliers had no choice but to call for a timeout, otherwise the game would collapse completely.
Chapter completed!
