On May 14, the fourth game between the Lakers and the Clippers.

The Clippers should fight for honor in this game, but it is too ugly to be swept.

So at the beginning of the game, the Clippers played fiercely, opening a 12:0 start and stopping the Lakers.

But the following plot is the same as the previous few games. The opening game was fierce, and the halftime ended at 50:55, and they fell behind again.

It seems that there are not many behind, but at the end of the first quarter, the Clippers actually led by 10 points.

As a result, the Lakers turned over 15 points in the second quarter.

Because of the Lakers' positional battle, the Clippers couldn't defend at all.

Once the Clippers' own offense misfires, they will just watch the Lakers attack in a positional battle.

Then slowly, the game was dragged into the rhythm of the Lakers.

The confrontation between two teams with different styles is essentially a battle of rhythm.

One wants to be fast and the other wants to be slow.

Teams that want to be fast must push the rhythm so that the opponent cannot fall into the position and play slowly, and must also run along with them.

Running like this, the opponent will be run to death.

Teams that want to be slow must increase the offensive efficiency of positional warfare and not counterattack the opponent if they want to suppress the rhythm.

This is the case with the Clippers and Lakers.

In the beginning, the Clippers always wanted to bring the rhythm, but in the end they did so. First, they couldn't play fast breaks, because the Lakers' defense was very tough, and Li Liang did a good job of blocking and destroying the Clippers' passes.

He blocked Paul's first pass more than once, delaying the Clippers' counterattack speed.

So, playing and playing, the Clippers found that the fast break couldn't move.

The Lakers fell into position, relying on Kobe's low post and Nash's shooting, to slowly erode the points that were behind at the beginning.

Especially after Gasol came on the court during the transition period, the Clippers did not target Gasol.

Griffin's arms are too short, and Jordan's anti-skill inside line effect is not good, let alone Turiaf.

That is to say, Gasol is no longer at his peak, and his singles success rate is not that high, and he is easy to suffer.

Otherwise, at the end of the first half, the Clippers would not be only 5 points behind.

When the Clippers fans saw that they were behind by five points, their hearts were half cold, knowing that there was no game.

Fans watch a lot of football, and they still know it well.

No matter how much some teams lead, you don’t feel at ease. If you don’t have 20 points, you won’t.

No matter how far behind some teams are, they are at ease in their hearts, and they can come back after a wave of three or four quarters.

Now in the hearts of fans, the Lakers are the second type of team, and the Clippers are the first type, and the problem is, the Clippers are behind, not ahead!

Can this not be cold?

But the Lakers are still very calm here. During the intermission, everyone was listening to Mike Brown's tactics for the second half.

The Lakers players are all veterans. They have experienced a lot, and a sweep can't make any waves.

Kobe scored 17 points in the first half.

He scored 12 points in the second quarter, leading the Lakers to reverse the score.

For the Clippers, if they still want to win, there is basically only one possibility, and that is Kobe blew himself up.

But the problem is that Kobe is extremely and very calm now, playing too reasonably.

So much so that the fans and the media are not used to it.

Some commentators and reporters have said that this year's Kobe looks like Michael Jordan.

Why?

Because Jordan played like this in the past, most of the time he was not conspicuous, he just quietly participated in the team's offense and scored a little more points.

If a fan who has never watched a Bulls game and does not know Jordan, he will be surprised when he goes to a Bulls game for the first time.

Because in the first three quarters, he basically would not see that No. 23 is the absolute core of the team.

He moves, passes, picks and rolls, catches and shoots, and is not much different from an ordinary shooting guard.

Just faster, more accurate and stronger.

In the past, Kobe was not like this. A fan who had never watched a Lakers game and didn't know Kobe, the first time he watched a Lakers game, he would notice Kobe in a while.

"Damn, this guy doesn't pass the ball?"

"Damn, can this be voted?"

"Damn, can I get in here too?"

"Damn, how did this get in?"

"Damn it, how did you vote for it!"

After a series of me behind, this fan must be impressed with the Lakers' No. 8 or No. 24.

And Kobe played Kobe ball for more than ten years, and suddenly one day he became like Jordan.

Although he has always been very similar and aims to surpass Jordan, he still has a very clear Kobe brand on him.

Only this year, starting in the second half of the regular season, that stigma on Bryant has faded.

It's even more obvious in the playoffs.

In fact, looking at the data, Kobe's data is not bad at all, with 30+ in three games and 40+ in one game.

It can be said that the score is very good.

But fans and the media always feel that Kobe's presence seems to have decreased.

It's the No. 28 Bruce Lee, who seems to be everywhere.

Maybe it's because the fans miss it because they can't hear the continuous sound of "Bang Bang".

The same is true against the Clippers this time. Kobe is very efficient after a few games, and he rarely plays hard.

The 12 points in the first half of the fourth game were basically scored by cooperation with Nash and Li Liang.

In the second half, Bryant stepped up his low-post offense, and Brown asked the Lakers to secure their advantage in the third quarter.

Kobe's low post is still the team's most reliable offensive tool.

On the Clippers side, there is no one who can match Kobe in the low post.

Billups played poorly in the first few games, and the veteran's confidence and fighting spirit have been completely beaten.

In the third quarter, Kobe scored 6 points in a row on his head, and even Li Liang made a three-pointer. The shock wave of 9:0 knocked down the Clippers.

The point difference suddenly widened to 14 points, and now the Clippers finally lost the power to resist.

The following time actually entered garbage time, but Negro was embarrassed to replace the main player.

Negro was stern on the sidelines. He knew that his Clippers coaching career had come to an end with this game and the end of this series.

In the summer, as Paul will usher in a contract extension, the Clippers will inevitably usher in major changes.

...

On the Lakers side, amidst the cheers at the Staples Center, they won the entire series.

But the players were simply high fives, no cheers, no laughter.

After returning to the locker room, everyone took a shower and changed clothes silently.

Of course, the atmosphere in the locker room is still brisk.

Howard wanted to laugh, but he held back, trying not to show his great white teeth.

When the reporter asked this question in an interview, Howard said: "This is just a small step. For us, entering the conference finals is just the beginning, so there is nothing to celebrate."

Bryant was asked the same question, and his answer was simple, "It's just the semifinals."

But when reporters asked about his changes in play, Bryant talked more.

He said: "At the beginning of the season, I tried to play team offense. We made some attempts, but they were not successful. Later, the more games were played, the tacit understanding between the players became better and better, and everyone had a clear division of labor. They all found their niche. I think I found my niche too, and you guys say I’m like Jordan, but I’m not, I’m just like a shooting guard who wins.”

Kobe felt very happy after pretending this, raised his eyebrows and left comfortably.

And there are more reporters in front of Li Liang, without him, because his "Fo, Fo" promise has come true!

In the NBA, there is nothing more exciting than walking the talk.

Just like in the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals, after Rasheed Wallace lost Game 1 to the Pacers, he told reporters that the Pistons would definitely win Game 2.

Then the Pistons actually won Game 2 and the series.

Just this sentence, let many people remember.

As for Bird's boasting, there are more, needless to say.

Li Liang's "Fo, Fo" should undoubtedly be remembered.

Regarding this, Li Liang said: "We Chinese are very honest. When I come to play in the American NBA on the other side of the ocean, of course I have to be honest. If you say sweep, you must sweep, otherwise how can you continue to gain a foothold in the NBA?"

Because of this sentence, Chinese fans nicknamed Li Liang again, two words - Liang Gan!
