On May 3, the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz played their second game.

After the first game, Dunleavy Sr. found the reason for his team's win, and Sloan was not idle, the Clippers not only won in rebounds and free throws and benches, Sloan felt that the interior line composed of twins was the key!

In this game, Ji Guoyi scored crazy points in the first three quarters and beat them to the bottom, but by the end of the fourth quarter, the little fox shot 1 of 5 in the final quarter, and the free throw score alone was enough to illustrate this. But at the critical moment, Ji Guoqiu was unrelenting, and he took over the scoring task in the second and fourth quarters when the fox brother turned off the fire.

Ji Guoqiu didn't score much in the whole game, but at the critical moment, he continued the firepower of the Clippers to ensure continuous output and played a role like a needle in the sea.

Presumably, the eliminated Maddie will sigh when she witnesses this situation: Why can't I enjoy such treatment?

Speaking to the media at the pre-game press conference, Sloan said: "My players have not been decisive enough to attack under the basket in the last game, which is not our style, and against a team like the Clippers, how can you be afraid of physical contact under the basket?" We can't give up on attacking on the inside and we want to avoid physical contact, and the consequence of doing so is bound to be timid, and we can't do anything well in the end. In the first game, we didn't play a game that satisfied the Salt Lake City fans, we put our muscles together, so we had to blame ourselves for losing. But tonight my players will behave like a man and they have to be tougher and let the opponent know that this is our home turf. ”

Jazz number one star Delon. Williams also said: "We've got to be aggressive, we've got to be aggressive, it's a playoff game, and every offense has to be tough!" When the Clippers are in my hands, I can get the ball to my teammates, but if my teammates don't shoot next, then we're in big trouble and our shooters have to improve their crosshairs. "Delong. Williams' words point to Kyle. Korver and the outside shooter, the sharpshooter who was traded from the 76ers, shot below 30 three-point range in the playoffs, and this is not only the Sloan coach dissatisfied, but the Jazz players are also very disappointed with Korver's performance. Delong. After criticizing the team's shooters, Williams continued: "Our defense is not weaker than the Clippers, it's just that we had to shoot more three-pointers today, it's as simple as that. ”

Of course, Sloan and the Jazz players kept beating around the bush before the game, questioning the referees' penalty scale. In the last game, the referee's too strict penalty scale simply cost the Jazz half of their lives, and they shrank back throughout the game, in fact, they were forced by the referee, and everyone could see that they just wanted to do the Jazz!

Kirilenko was very direct, and the Russians fired directly: "Playing against the Clippers, we feel like it's 5 against 8 (3 referees), you know, the Clippers are already very good, if the referees still blow the whistle like that, they will be even more difficult to deal with." ”

According to TNT's analysis, although the Jazz lost the first game, they still showed enough talent and execution of the game plan on the court, which is something that the Clippers must be wary of, and they could lose a good situation if they slacken. Jazz can enter the second round, not because the bean bun can be kneaded at will, even if he wants to knead, he has to go all out to knead it.

In the first game, the Clippers were not so easy with the Jazz, sometimes the Clippers' defensive system would be broken through by the Jazz's blocking tactics, and the Jazz players would be missed in the process of switching defenses, and sometimes, the Clippers' on-court players seemed to have some inconsistent thoughts when they were working as a team, which the Clippers had to solve in the second game.

Charles. Barkley believes that this is caused by the Clippers always changing the starter, there are more changes, the less stable it is, anyway, there are pros and cons to do everything, the Clippers have to weigh the pros and cons and then decide what tactics to use, and then decide if there are more changes, blindly seeking change is not necessarily a good thing, everything must be moderate.

Jeff of ESTM. Van Gundy believes that the Clippers will definitely play more intensely in the second game with the Jazz, the Jazz should develop and execute their defensive plans better, and they should appear more disciplined on the court. The Jazz may be the most scrappy and physically strong team in the league, and the Clippers will see the Jazz give their best in Game 2, which will be a real challenge for the Clippers.

Mark. Jackson is not optimistic about the Jazz, he thinks Carlos. Boozer had just 13 points, nine rebounds and just one block in his first game, making just 4-of-16 shooting from the field, which doesn't look like an All-Star at all. There's no denying that the Jazz are desperate to get a win at home, but it's hard to predict how much this will happen until something like this actually happens. Because they rely on the winning duo to have only half of the state, such a table xiàn don't say two twins, he can't beat any one, to be like Duncan 1V2 is tantamount to a fool's dream. Carlos. Boozer can't find his form, and the Jazz are most likely to be swept! This is not unfounded, in fact, many fans now think that the Jazz will be swept, they even have such a difficult time to clean up a Maddie without Yao Ming and half-crippled, and it is basically a dream to defeat the Clippers of the Black Eight.

In short, before the start of this game, most commentators and pundits admit that the Jazz are indeed a team with momentum, confidence and talent, but they must realize that they are facing the Clippers who are also a heavyweight, so most people predict that the Clippers will still win the second game, even if the Devils of Salt Lake City are difficult to play against at home, but Boozer's sluggish play from the first round has made Salt Lake City's home court lose some of its attacking power.

The Clippers' second game was played at 8:30 p.m. on May 3, and when the Clippers entered the stadium 15 minutes before the start of the game, the Jazz fans in the stadium let out loud boos and a large number of monkey photos were held up. This malicious act has led to the fact that the camera is rarely shown in the audience for the entire game broadcast live, and now that racial discrimination is the most sensitive and troublesome matter, the league tries not to shoot those insulting posters so as not to escalate the situation.

However, such an excessive behavior of Salt Lake City fans shows that Jazz fans really hate the twins, and it shows that they are afraid, once they play 0:2 and lose two precious home courts, they will rely on the Jazz's poor away record to turn defeat into victory and even they don't believe it.

In the first game, Jazz fans did not make such a big formation, Jazz fans only made a large-scale verbal attack on the away team in the last game, but unfortunately the Americans expressed poor words, shouting in the stadium is either "yellow-skinned monkey", or "Chinese die", these repeated words over and over again are really boring to death in Ji Guosha's opinion, but this time they actually heard the whole audience shouting "Clippers rotten team"!

They didn't talk nonsense, the Clippers are really a big bad team, they have set a record of failing to enter the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons, and the best result is to reach the Western Conference semifinals, and the best record in the history of the regular season is only a pitiful 49 wins!

Well, this season the twins have led the team to break this record, and now the Clippers' best record is just 52 wins, and they have tied the team's best record in playoff history, and the Clippers have never reached the Western Conference Finals, so it's no wonder that Lakers fans always laugh at their hillbillies, their team's history may only be better than the Bobcats, thanks to the selflessness of Boss Joe, who has won all kinds of worst numbers every year, and maybe in the future they can break the milestone of not making the playoffs for 16 consecutive years.

"Boss, I think they're just going over and over with a couple of extra sentences, and it's still not powerful,"

"Yes, but I'm still angry, these white-skinned pigs, dead!"

Of course, Ji Guoqiu was secretly scolding in his heart, their team is also full of white-skinned pigs and dead, and even the coach is a white-skinned pig, and it seems that the two of them are sisters, so it's better not to scold them together......

The Clippers' tactics today were different from the last game, and the elder Dunley instructed them not to let the Jazz grab rebounds in the frontcourt, prevent Williams' breakaway, and not let Korver shoot three points. And today it became: grabbing more frontcourt rebounds to create a second scoring opportunity, ensuring their outside shooting percentage, and playing more quick counterattacks......

All in all, although the Clippers always emphasize that they cannot be careless, they have at least put themselves in the position of the strongest, and have a kind of confidence that "as long as we don't have problems, we can win the game"!

That's right, the Clippers are now confident, not arrogant!

There are many benefits to the confidence of the Clippers players, such as the fact that they were beaten by the Jazz 28-16 in the first quarter today, trailing by 12 points in the first quarter, and still not having the mentality of "we will lose this game", and the Clippers players believe that there are still three quarters to go, and they still have a chance to fight back.

Today's game was different from the last one, the referees began to blow the home whistle at the end, and the league wanted to kick out the Jazz who played savagely, but they didn't want the Jazz to be eliminated in a swept way. Two or three less games in the semifinals, the league will lose a lot financially, so they will only help the Clippers one game, if the Clippers are still killed by the Jazz in the favorable situation of getting an away game, then they can only blame themselves for not being capable.

"If we want to fight back, what should we do?" Dunleavy Sr. asked the players after the first quarter.

"We should defend first and wait for our chances." Ji Guoqiu replied.

Old Dunleavy smiled: "That's right, let's do this, defend first, and then counterattack!" After old Dunleavy finished speaking, he looked at Ji Guoyi: "Little guy, I hope you can play the second quarter and don't be beaten down again, the referee won't help us all the time, you have to play smarter." ”

Ji Guozhi was a little embarrassed, he sat on the court with two fouls in less than five minutes in the first quarter, although he opened Boozer's eyebrows, but the team was 12 points behind and he was half responsible.

"Coach, don't worry, I know what to do."

As soon as Ji Guo finished speaking, the eyes of the whole team looking at him were full of suspicion.

This guy is unreliable, but not only old Dunleavy knows, the whole team knows that he is easy to lose control, poor Boozer suffers every game, and today he is red! This fox looks harmless to humans and animals, and he is really ruthless, and the famous villains of the alliance are constantly suffering at his hands.

Carlos. Boozer now wants to kill Ji Guosha with one shot, in these two games, this dead fox is like having countless eyes, his tricks have not worked once, but he has been plotted by Ji Guosha one after another, and now even his eyebrows have been opened, it is simply unreasonable!

Charles. Barkley was watching the replay of the first quarter on the live broadcast seat at the moment, most of them were Ji Guoyi's small tricks, and the big ass smiled: "Look at it...... This fox is too cunning, he should have been born in our time, I feel that his two fouls would not have been blown at all in the 80s, and now the sport is too civilized. ”

Kenny. Smith laughed: "You can't say that, players nowadays fly higher and run faster, so the more they fall, and if you don't limit the small movements of the players, I think the 21st century will at least double the amount of talent reimbursed." ”

"So I'm just complaining, but I've looked at this fox and he's very measured, and we often see his opposing players bleeding or falling to the floor, but it's rare to see anyone get seriously injured by him, which is why he's never been heavily punished by the league."

"Yes, Zach. Randolph's injuries were the most severe, but he had only rested for a month, and Boozer had just received 3 stitches, which was nothing. ”

When Jazz fans heard this, they scolded: "Is there such an explanation? Three stitches is nothing, you two TMD go and try it. ”

In the second quarter, the Clippers sent Blevine. Knight, Mobley, Garcia, Ji Guoyi, Tim. Thomas, the Clippers lineup has outstanding interior offensive ability, Ji Guoyi and Thomas are both inside players who are active on the outside, the Jazz hate this type of opponent the most, they like to fight hand-to-hand on the inside, foot movement is not their advantage, and it is difficult to keep up with the big man pitchers who are scurrying around outside.

Thomas hit a three-pointer as soon as he got on the court, and Ki's off-ball run attracted most of the Jazz's defense, and Thomas got a shot to hit his first goal of the day.

The Jazz still chose to focus on Ji Guosha, Kirilenko made a cameo in the No. 4 position again in the second quarter, and the Russian did not leave Ji Guosha, stalking him and not letting him catch the ball; Mill. Sapp had a disadvantage in the footsteps of Thomas, and in less than three minutes of the second quarter, Thomas had already scored six points, which left Sloan with an early substitution for Oku.

With 9 minutes and 20 seconds in the second quarter and a score of 32:24, the Clippers narrowed the margin to single digits in a blink of an eye.

The Jazz's offense was ineffective during this time, and Coach Sloan immediately replaced most of the main players, and the lineup on the court became: Delon. Williams, Kyle. Korver, Matt. Haplin, Paul. Millsap, Memet. Oku.

The Clippers also brought on most of their starters: Blavin. Knight, Mobley, Garcia, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu. R1152
