Chapter 596 The alliance that sits crookedly!

Staples Center, Western Conference Finals tiebreaker.

The Staples Center has become a sea of ​​people, with purple and gold occupying most of the places, and the unsightly white stars dotted all over the place. James even came to a chalk dusting event before the game, which attracted a small number of cheers And lots of booing.

Lakers fans were quite dissatisfied with James' pretentious behavior. When Gatsby received the ball for the first time, he directly called MVP. This was an attack on James and told James that you are still far away from Gatsby.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is Gatsby, Kobe, Wesley Johnson, Aldridge and Jokic. The starting lineup of the Clippers is Paul, Redick, James, Griffin and Jordan. This lineup is the most powerful on both sides. The lineup is the most balanced in this way.

The basic strength of the teams that reached the tiebreaker is almost the same, and neither side has any secrets. Victory no longer only depends on strength, perseverance, fighting spirit, state, and crucial luck. Yes, it has reached this level. , luck has also become the key to the game.

Game start.

Jordan and Jokic won the money. Paul advanced to the frontcourt. Gatsby rushed to block. Paul is a very smart player. Looking for a confrontation, the referee's whistle sounded as soon as he hit it.

"Defensive foul!" the referee announced.

Gatsby frowned, something was wrong, it was only a dozen seconds since the start, the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals shouldn't be so tight.

Jim Iron almost threw something, and Gatsby was called a foul at the beginning, which is not a good situation.

The Clippers received the ball from the sideline. Paul cut the ball outside and found Griffin for a pick-and-roll. In the category of blowing or not blowing, Jokic's body did not invade Griffin's cylinder, and his hand movements were also very clean. Griffin took the initiative to find a confrontation, even a bit of an offensive foul, but the referee just blew it. The rhythm of the tie-break!

Griffin made two free throws.

Gatsby held the ball across the half court, Jokic came up to pick and roll, Gatsby returned the ball, and then used Aldridge's screen to make an air cut on the right side, Jokic caught the passing space and threw the ball to Gates Bi, Gatsby catches the ball and takes off, Griffin comes over to block the shot, Gatsby dunks on Griffin!
Buckle up Griffin!
Generally speaking, opponents will not intercept this kind of ball that has already taken off and dunked, especially in the regular season, but tonight is the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals. Stop the ball!

2: 2!

James received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, forcing Wesley Johnson at a 45-degree angle. Wesley Johnson was hit by James. The referee blew his whistle. Instead of calling James a foul, he called Wesley a blocking foul. The Lakers received Team's third foul.

Gatsby turned his head and looked at Kobe, and saw the seriousness in the other's eyes. This is very abnormal. The more competitions, the more confrontation will be allowed. Tonight's penalty scale is basically at the regular season level, and it is aimed at the Lakers. It's blowing, that's not right!

Jim Iron jumped up on the sidelines, yelled at the referees, and was picked up for a technical foul on Chris Paul's free throw.

Except for the Clippers fans and the Lakers fans at the Staples Center, the arena became depressing, and then overwhelmingly came: "The referee's slap! The referee's slap!!"

When Paul executed a technical free throw, Gatsby summoned his teammates: "Now the referee is obviously biased. Everyone calm down, and the defense should be clean. Don't ask the referee if you have any disputes. Just focus on your own ball. "

The teammates nodded. They are all very smart players. They immediately understood what Gatsby wanted to say. The league probably wants to push the Clippers to the finals again, but it can only be done under the rules. At this time, it is useless to be impetuous, and it is useless to argue with the referee. The key is to sink down and hit every ball well.

Gatsby quickly advanced the ball to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Jokic, turned around and went inside, and caught Redick with the ball in the low post. The moment Gatsby caught the ball, he turned over and made a jumper, and Redick even reacted But come and watch Gatsby hit.

Gatsby also thought about the ball. Now the referee is catching his foul, so he has to pay great attention to both offense and defense. He doesn't even hit Redick after he gets the ball, for fear that the referee will call him an offensive foul.

There is a set of standards for judging such things, but this set of standards is determined by people, so there are many things in the middle line, some can be blown up or not, some can be blown on one side, and some can be blown on the other. In the referee's thought, when the referee has a preconceived orientation, once this happens, the party who is hit has no way to appeal.

Well, even if it is an appeal, the referee will issue a referee report after the game, saying that the call was wrong, so what, if the game is lost, it will be lost, and it will not change.

Gatsby could avoid fouls, but other teammates didn't have his strength. Even though he tried his best to avoid fouls, the team had already received four fouls and it was time for free throws.

How difficult is this kind of game? One side defends and attacks unscrupulously, but the other side can only carefully control fouls. Even if the Lakers are stronger, they can't limit the Clippers, not to mention that the Clippers are actually stronger. In this way, the Lakers fell even more at a disadvantage.

After the first quarter, the Clippers led by eight points.

The morale of the Lakers is a little low.

The second quarter begins.

Gatsby started playing with the team on his back, wasn't he just afraid of fouling?

The result of fear of fouling is not good defense, it doesn't matter if the defense is not good, then attack, Gatsby doesn't need to pick and roll, the referee is very strict about illegal screens, um, only complain about the Lakers.

Then don't give up at all, Gatsby will play singles!

Gatsby grabbed Redick and beat him to death, and the other teammates pulled away, playing the same set of one star and four shots.

"Tonight Gatsby is probably going to explode again. Others are afraid to avoid fouls. Gatsby rarely fouls. His defense can be tough or clean. From the beginning of the game Up to now, except for the first foul, he has not fouled again so far. This kind of control ability is also amazing. You know, he is defending a cunning attacker Chris Paul, and Gatsby keeps going in the process. Help defend and supplement defense!" Wang Meng exclaimed.

This is only possible because of the superior ability of other players. Not to mention that Wang Meng looked stupid, even the fans were dazzled. This Gatsby is really an amazing Gatsby. Is there anything that can bother him?
