In the second quarter, the Clippers sent: Brevin Knight, Mobri, Garcia, Almi Johnson, and Tim Thomas

The Lakers sent: Fisher, Vujasic, Luke Walton, Odom, Bynum.

When old Dunleavy saw the Lakers' substitute lineup, he felt that it was not very good. Why did the Lakers' bench lineup look better than his own? Is it an illusion?

The Lakers' rookie forward Ariza, Phil Jackson, who performed well in the first two rounds, actually activated it today, choosing to use Vujasic and Walton Jr. to take turns to play.

The most important thing is that there are three main players in this bench lineup created by Zen Master?

Clippers fans also think it is not very good. Interested fans can find that Old Dunleavy's rotation is too rigid, even if he is not much better than D'Anthony, he will basically replace him at a certain period of time. In this way, Phil Jackson can send a lineup specifically to restrain the Clippers for Old Dunleavy's rotation time.

Simply put, this is like a scissors and stone cloth. If the opposite side knows what you are going to produce in advance, then it's a big deal, unless he has no fingers to produce stones.

Andrew Bynum's performance in the playoffs this year has been poor, which may be related to his injury not fully recovered, or he may only have this strength, and the latter may be even greater. However, facing Thomas, who cannot defend at all, he finally acted like a shark, using his large tonnage to continuously attack at low posts, and smashed the defensive black hole Tim Thomas.

Old Dunleavy soon discovered that he shouldn't have replaced this big brush with the center position, so he quickly replaced Amir Johnson with Paul Davis and moved Mr. Brush to the power forward position.

Jeff Van Gundy saw the adjustment of the Clippers and couldn't help laughing: "Old Dunleavy began to passively make substitution adjustments. He was following the Zen master's baton. This is not the first time we have seen this phenomenon. This happened to face **Vicci in the first round."

The Clippers fans in front of the TV complained: "You bald man are not much better. You are famous for being slow to react on the spot, and you are so embarrassed to laugh at others!"

Kobe's substitute, Vujasic, performed well in the playoffs this season, averaged nearly 8 points per game, and was very efficient on the court. In addition, Old Fisher's match against Brevin Knight also had an advantage. The Lakers scored a 10:4 small ** at the beginning of the second quarter, and in a blink of an eye, he had already surpassed the score.

At 9:40 in the second quarter, Dunleavy, the old man found that their second tier seemed to be unable to beat the Lakers, and immediately replaced the twins. Billups was also on the court with the two brothers. The lineup on the Clippers' field became: Billups, Mobri, Garcia, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqiu.

"Famar, go up and break through Billups and try how much his injury has recovered." The Zen master gave orders to Jordan Famar. Half a minute after the Clippers substitution, the Lakers also made adjustments to the lineup after the Lakers died. Five players on the court became: Famar, Kobe, Vujasic, Odom, and Bynum.

The Lakers unknowingly completed the lineup alternation during the substitute period, and they also overtook the score. Everything seemed so relaxed and pleasant.

After Ji Guohuo came on the court, he wanted to provoke Kobe again, but one of them was outside and the other inside. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult to have too much intersection. He wanted to say trash words, but it was not easy to aim at the target.

Bynum's defense against Ji Guoqiu was better in the second quarter. The Lakers would double-team the Panda brother to a certain extent in the outside, but this also released Billups. The key took advantage of the old fish to double-team Ji Guoqiu and hit two consecutive three-pointers, which temporarily stopped the Lakers' fans in Staples' Staples Arena.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled again and said, "Phil Jackson has taken advantage of the rotation, but we see that the Clippers' strength cannot be underestimated. They have strong internal and external lines. In terms of personnel configuration, the Clippers' main lineup is obviously better."

Magic Johnson said: "Billups has always been the point guard I admire more. I like his explosiveness, strong physique, selfless and smart playing style. Jackson cannot relax his defense of the finals MVP."

The score was 36:35, and the main Clippers returned to the field and immediately overtook the score.

At 7 minutes and 20 seconds in the second quarter, Kobe made a breakthrough and finally scored two points. At this time, the Pan had already made 6 assists.

Ji Guomeng did not defend the inside this time, so he followed Odom to the outside line; Ji Guochong did not have time to make up for defense, Kobe was extremely relaxed in seeking progress, and he had a unique grasp of offensive timing and defensive space, and was one of the most good superstars to read defense.

Lakers fans shouted loudly, and as soon as Kobe scored a goal, the whole audience immediately shouted "MVP", which made Ji Guomo extremely unhappy.

The reason for his unhappiness is very simple. He has only scored 5 points now and has not scored yet in the second quarter. So he turned around and used a Kobe-style play on the offensive end, forcing Odom's defense and hit a difficult three-pointer.

After Ji Guomeng scored a goal, he secretly called luck in his heart, and then deliberately provoked Kobe to point three fingers at Pan.

However, Kobe may have taken the wrong medicine today. It can be seen that his face was cold and he must be extremely unhappy. However, this time the Lakers attacked, Kobe broke through again and passed the ball to his teammates. This time he attracted three Clippers players to double-team, Odom was unguarded, and easily scored two points from close range at the basket.

"Damn it, it's really hard to deal with Kobe like this. Otherwise, we might as well not double-team him, he won't take action anyway." Ji Guomo has missed people more than once today. Now he feels that it's not worth it for his team to defend Kobe with heavy troops, and they don't take action. Is there any use to so many people surrounding him?

"The coach didn't give the order, don't do anything wrong. If we don't have a joint team, he should take action." Ji Guochou said in his heart.

"Strange, I think our defensive tactics were wrong from the beginning. Since I wanted him to play singles, wouldn't it be better to let Kobe attack?"

"This... let him take action, what if he makes a good shot?"

“…………”

It sounds like an unsolvable proposition. Before the Clippers' race, most of their attention was focused on Kobe. Now this guy doesn't play by the routine, which makes Clippers players have their own ideas in their minds. Even the twins began to have different opinions.

At 4th minute and 15th second, Kobe made a subtle pass outside the wing three-point line and sent the basketball to Gasol on the free throw line.

Espanyol kept kicking the ball and immediately pushed the basketball. Famal, who had just started playing, rushed into the basket from the bottom line, received the basketball from the low post on the left, and immediately made a layup...

The Lakers broke through the Clippers' defense line with just two passes. Famal jumped up and advanced the basketball before Ji Guoqiu made up the defense, and also committed Ji Guoqiu's foul. This was Brother Panda's second foul.

The score was 42:41, and the two teams were in a stalemate.

The Lakers' lineup has become: Famar, Kobe, Odom, Gasol, Bynum.

Clippers lineup: Billups, James Posey, Artest, Ji Guomo, Ji Guoqie.

During this period, Famal scored consecutively on the offensive end. This sophomore rookie used his impact to frequently break through Billups. The latter's injury did not heal and was scored 6 points by Famal in the half-quarter game. Now he is about to score 7 points.

Old Dunleavy is not really that bad. He also used Ji Guoqie to attack Bynum as a counterattack. Brother Panda became the core of the Clippers' offensive today, and he had contributed nearly 20 points in less than halftime.

Ji Guoqiu scored 16 points and 5 rebounds. Ji Guomi had 8 points and 4 rebounds. Billups scored 10 points and 3 assists. Artest scored 2 points and Mobri scored 4 points.

Kobe scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, Gasol scored 7 points and 5 rebounds, Odom scored 3 points and 3 rebounds, Radmanovic scored 7 points, Walton scored 5 points, Famal scored 11 points, and Fisher scored 6 points.

"Little fox, do you want me to score, right?" Kobe looked at the time and suddenly said to Ji Guomeng.

Ji Guomo was stunned when he heard this. He had given up using trash words to anger Kobe. Unexpectedly, Kobe suddenly took the initiative to communicate with him at this time.

Kobe was stunned when he saw him and smiled, "I will break through in a while, and I will get two points on your head at that time."

Ji Guomeng was furious and pointed at the penalty area: "Then you will be lying here on your back on your back in a while. I promise that will hurt!"

Phil Jackson raised his lips slightly on the sidelines. No one knew that his team of psychological experts not only studied Kobe's psychology these days, but also studied Ji Guohuo. This little fox has been trying to provoke Kobe since a few days ago. What is the purpose? Phil Jackson, who is best at psychological warfare in NBA, naturally knew very well. This cunning little guy wanted to make Kobe lose his calmness and fall into a single fight. This trick could not be hidden from the Zen master.

Ji Guomomiya didn't know that when he was about to anger Kobe, he had fallen into Phil Jackson's plan without knowing it.

"Aren't you a fox good at psychological warfare? Then let's play with you."

Before the Zen Master not only planned Ji Guohuo, but also Kobe had planned together. He asked Peter Pan to join in to study Ji Guohuo's psychology and find ways to deal with the dead fox. The purpose was to keep Kobe from losing control in the game. Just like when he asked Kobe to serve as captain at the beginning of the season, the purpose was to use the captain position to let Kobe learn how to drive his teammates. Now it is also the same. Let Kobe study how to target Ji Guohuo, which is to let him learn to control his emotions by himself.

For ordinary players, Phil Jackson can teach him how to do it directly, just like Famar just now, just let him play on the court. But Kobe is not good. He has his own goals and is extremely paranoid and perverted narcissistic. He will not listen to other people's opinions. So if you want Kobe to play according to his own arrangement, Phil Jackson often has to turn a big corner to achieve his goal. It can be said that in order to find a way to control Kobe, the Zen master has no less effort than to deal with the Clippers. The Lakers and Clippers game, Phil Jackson is equivalent to having to deal with both Kobe and the Clippers. It is really not easy...

This also allows you to understand why Kobe is not fooled no matter how Ji Guomo provoked him. Now Pan thinks he is calculating Ji Guomo, so he will be fooled.

Ji Guomo did not know that he had fallen into the opponent's plan. In fact, his three-point shot was already very difficult, and being able to make a good shot was considered a good character. This time the Clippers' offense, the basketball was passed to Ji Guomo again, and he did not pass it out, but directly shot...

"Bang!"

Ji Guomomiya couldn't make such a shot every time. This time he made a decisive shot. His posture was as beautiful as Kobe, and he could be regarded as possessed by the boss.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe was pushing with the ball. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to really want to attack by himself, but after breaking through to the penalty area and being double-teamed, Pan passed the ball again...

Ji Guomeng was shocked. In order to block Kobe, he let go of his defensive man this time. Looking back, Odom scored a goal from close range, just like the last time.

"Damn it, you liar, do you hit me?" Ji Guomo was angry and felt that the little fox who was deceived shouted loudly at Kobe.

"I'm just lying to you. You're a fool!" Kobe seemed to be quick-witted at this time, and said as Ji Guomo. Kobe, nicknamed Reposting Machine, doesn't speak trash words. His unique skill is to repeat the opponent's provocation to fight back. However, it can be seen that Pan is really happy now. He didn't repeat it completely. He even changed it, and the trash words have made great progress.

Ji Guochou frowned and said in his heart: "Calm down, he is irritating you, can't you tell me?"

Ji Guomeng responded in his heart: "Why can't I see that this bastard wants to anger me and affect my shooting, but he underestimated me too much. I just shot the next goal and slapped him in the face at that time."

"But if you can't make a shot, you'll be slapped in the face."

"Nonsense, how could I not be able to make a vote!"

“…………”

The authorities are confused. Ji Guomo is always calculating others like this. When it is his turn to be plotted, he is no different from those who have been plotted by him. He loses his mind and does not feel that he is being plotted against.

Ji Guomomoto felt that he could make a shot, but in fact this was really his illusion. He was like Kobe in the past, noticing that his playing style was already outside the team system. As soon as the basketball arrived, he stopped because this guy shot directly.

The score in the first half was 48:55, and the Lakers led by 7 points into the second half.

After provoking Ji Guowei, Kobe still did not rush to attack and made very few moves. He made 2 of 4 shots in the first half and scored only 4 points. However, Peter Pan contributed 8 assists in the first half and used his passes to drive the entire team.

The Lakers' shooting percentage in the first half was 48%, which was an extremely high shooting percentage.

The Clippers' shooting percentage is only 42%. As for the reason, of course, it was a fox dragged his back. Ji Guomeng made 3 of 12 shots in the first half, and his shooting percentage was exactly 25% that made all Lakers fans laugh at him.

Ji Guoqiu scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half, Ji Guomiang scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, Billups scored 10 points and 3 assists, Artest scored 6 points, and Mobri scored 4 points.
