After a fierce battle, the score was 26-28, with the Clippers trailing by two points.
They were only two points behind, but the pressure on the Clippers players was greater than the 15-point halftime deficit in the previous game.
O'Neal only made two successful shots in the first quarter, making 1 of 2 shots, plus 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 3 points... plus 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
Kobe only scored 6 points, 2 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and 3 assists.
Just like that, the Lakers are still leading!
Fisher scored 5 points, Rick Fox and Mark Madsen both scored two points, Horry and Lynch Hunter both scored 3 points, and Samaki Walker scored 4 points.
The fans in front of the TV seemed to have seen the Lakers two years ago.
In the OK group that year, O'Neal was not as skilled as he is now, and Kobe was not as strong.
But that year, the Lakers' role players were all very powerful, including Glenn Rice, a top scorer and top pitcher who averaged 16 points per game, Robert Horry, who was at the end of his prime at 30 years old, and Ron Harper, a solid defensive player. , Fisher, who shot accurately from the wing... That year, support experts like Rick Fox and experienced veterans like AC Green didn't even get playing time.
The OK combination that year was not as invincible as the OK combination last year and this year, but their overall strength was strong.
Tonight, the Lakers' role players seemed to be dreaming back to the year 2000.
And OK combination is still the dominant force now!
This allowed the Lakers to play an amazing first quarter!
The way the Lakers played tonight was the same way they played against the Clippers in the last game of the regular season. O'Neal initiated the offense, Kobe Bryant supported or received strong shots, and the role players provided output.
Can it be seen that after the Lakers role players improved their touch for 3 games, they broke out tonight?
Anyway, Gentry didn't believe that the arrogant head coach on the opposite side was blindly trusting the role players. It was definitely after careful analysis that he determined the status and mentality of the players and decided to play like this tonight.
Entering the break between sections, while the team members were drinking water and wiping their sweat to rest, Gentry pulled Li Ao, Jordan, and Bibi together.
Gentry said: "Two directions, radical and conservative, we voted to fight, with the palm of the hand, and to consume their pitchers, with the back of the hand."
Jordan rolled his eyes, this guy is acting rogue again!
But he just stuck to this.
Li Ao's mouth twitched. He turned Gentry in a rogue direction to deal with Jordan.
Boy, now Gentry's got the bad guy on him.
But this is not bad. If you are afraid of this or that when playing against the Lakers, it is better to stick to one direction.
Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Gentry counted down "three, two, one"... The three of them stretched out their right hands at the same time, with their palms facing up.
OK, we have the same opinion. If we win, everyone will be happy together. If we lose, no one can blame anyone.
Gentry has been getting better and better after staying with Wally Walker and Li Ao for a long time...
In the second quarter, the Clippers continued to be full of firepower, fighting hard with the Lakers veterans on the defensive end.
Getting old is getting old, and dreaming of returning to the top is just a dream. The veteran pitchers of the Lakers who performed well in the first quarter quickly withered, and the Lakers' score dropped from 28 points in the first quarter to 23 points.
The Clippers scored 27 points in a single quarter, and after halftime, they led the Lakers by two points, 53-51!
In this quarter, the OK combination still held back. Zen Master knew that even if he had a temporary advantage simply by relying on OK, he would not be able to survive until the end. The opponent was stronger than he thought. In the first half, he just wanted to hold off the situation.
In the third quarter, the OK combination, which had played half the game, began to exert its strength!
That devastating destructive power came again. In the third quarter, the Lakers beat the Clippers 24-19.
75 to 72, the Lakers overtook the Clippers by 3 points!
In the final quarter, the OK combination continued their efforts. Li Ao and Jordan played the final quarter, and the two scored 19 points together. They led the team to 30 points in a single quarter, but they still lost to the OK combination. Kobe Bryant scored 12 points in the last quarter, raising his personal score to 32 points. O'Neal He scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the final quarter, raising his personal statistics to 25 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, leading the Lakers to 31 points in a single quarter.
106 to 102, the Lakers steadily defeated the Clippers, expanding the score to 3 to 1, and the Los Angeles Derby entered the match point!
…
The Clippers trail the Lakers 1-3 and are on the verge of elimination!
Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Hubie Brown analyzed in the post-game review:
"We have always felt that the Trail Blazers forced the Lakers to a Game 5, and the Clippers got more rest time and had an advantage, but we ignored another problem-the Trail Blazers forced the Lakers to a desperate situation and allowed the Lakers to advance Playing in good condition, the Clippers will have to face the Lakers, who are in the best form from the beginning."
Hubie Brown feels that the Clippers have the ability to defeat the Lakers, but he also feels that it is normal for the Clippers to be defeated by the Lakers in 5 games.
This weird style of painting is a pity when placed in a series with an OK combination. Bill Walton agreed.
As a player who has played for three teams: the Trail Blazers, Clippers, and Celtics, although he worked for Time Warner, which was leaning towards the Lakers, when the Clippers rose, he directly supported them. Clippers.
Since the Los Angeles Derby, the media and fans have already concluded that the Lakers will advance to the Western Conference Finals, probably the day after tomorrow, after two days off.
Even Clippers fans now have no hope for this series.
Lakers fans have now become as arrogant and domineering as Clippers fans, shouting "OK is the best in the world" everywhere, madly attracting hatred, not only to attract hatred from Clippers fans, but also to attack indiscriminately.
Although the Clippers fans felt that this playoff journey was over, they were the toughest in the world when it came to the Lakers fans, and began to laugh at them by saying, "They refused to trade role players for the 2000 second pick." Lakers.
Hitting the snake seven inches, Clippers fans brought up this topic, Lakers fans directly broke the defense...
As for the Clippers, who were trailing 3-1, not many people except Lakers fans criticized them.
They also received blessings from fans in Boston, Sacramento, Portland, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Phoenix... and other cities - they will fight again next year and win.
After G4, the Clippers and Lakers got two days of rest. They didn't have to change cities and could just train at their own team training venues.
On the afternoon of the first rest day, the neighbor next door did not arrange training today. The entire team only had one No. 8 player with the 13th overall pick who practiced shooting in another courtyard. On the Clippers side, except for veterans such as Jordan and Campbell, who had to rest, other players Find the coaching staff and continue training.
This morning, the Clippers players saw the video of Li Ao's post-game interview last night. Just one sentence - "I don't want to wait for next year. Not to mention falling behind 1-3, I will not give up even if I fall behind 0-3."
The media and fans took Li Ao's words as his view of basketball and praised him.
The Clippers players not only regarded it as Spider-Man expressing his fighting spirit, but also regarded it as the direction of progress at this moment!
…
At 8 pm on May 17th, Game 5 of the Los Angeles Derby will begin at the Staples Center!
Far from being less crowded tonight at Staples Center, there seemed to be even more Clippers fans than in the previous four games.
Even though their team may be out tonight, they want to see their team out and remember this moment.
With Spider-Man here, they believe they have a bright future.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Kobe and O'Neal continued the way they started the previous game and performed well. They scored 7 points in the first 3 minutes and played back and forth with the Clippers.
The fans at the scene saw the Lakers' solid performance and believed that the Lakers would repeat the success of the previous game.
The OK combination played slowly and became invincible in the second half!
But the Lakers' offense suddenly stalled!
Gentry gives it a try. If the opponent wants to play steadily, then he will wear out the opponent's flanks with hand-to-hand combat.
The Lakers role players lasted a whole quarter in the last game, creating a good opportunity for the OK team to rest, but this time, they only lasted 3 minutes!
From 3 minutes and 08 seconds to 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter, the Clippers frantically attacked the OK combination. The OK combination passed the ball out and failed to score a single goal. The Lakers fell into a scoring drought for more than 3 minutes!
Zen Master rarely called a timeout in the first quarter.
Entering the official timeout, the score was 12 to 7, and the Clippers led by 5 points at half quarter!
The OK combination was still strong. After the official timeout, Kobe and O'Neal both scored 5 points. However, the wing shooters still felt cold. Even Samaki Walker, who cut in, was fouled for a layup and made two free throws.
No one on the Clippers scored higher than anyone else in the OK team in the second half of the quarter. Bibby, who scored the most, only had 4 points, but multiple people scored, scoring 12 points in the half.
Kobe scored 7 points on 3 of 7 shots in the first quarter, O'Neal scored 6 points on 2 of 5 shots and 2 of 3 free throws, but the Lakers only scored 17 points.
The Clippers entered the second quarter with a 7-point lead over the Lakers, 24-17!
In this situation, the OK combination went straight into the second quarter. The two scored 15 points in a single quarter and sent out 3 assists. The Lakers' scoring situation quickly reversed in the second quarter, scoring 24 points in a single quarter.
However, the Clippers scored higher than in the first quarter!
Li Ao, who played 10 minutes, Jordan, who played 7 minutes, and Bibby, who played 9 minutes, only scored 5 points in a single quarter.
But Big Q, O'Neal Jr., Matt Halprin, Greg Anthony and others, with Odom's support and passing, and the control of Shenxiagui, scored 20 points in a single quarter, while Odom scored 1 point. Didn't score, but had 6 assists in a single quarter!
49 to 41, the Clippers led the Lakers by 8 points at halftime!
In the third quarter, the OK combination continued to work hard, and the Lakers' scores continued to rise. They scored 26 points in a single quarter, which was higher than the Clippers scored in a single quarter in the first half, and limited the Clippers to only 20 points. point.
The Clippers' 20 points were obtained by Li Ao's 11 points in a single quarter when he turned on the "bullying mode" against Horry and Brian Shaw's defense.
However, Zen Master used these two veterans to defend Li Ao, which proved that the situation on the Lakers' side was not very good. The OK combination started to exert force from the second half of the first quarter, attacking continuously for two and a half quarters, and the two finished the three quarters together. Scored 48 points, and the physical exertion was higher than in each of the previous four games!
Although the Lakers chased the score to 67 to 69, narrowing the point difference to two points, in the final quarter, the Lakers' momentum of continuous scoring in a single quarter suddenly stopped. They only scored 9 points in the first half of the quarter, and the Clippers , Jordan only played the first 3 minutes of the third quarter and came back after a 9-minute rest. He took over the offensive banner from Spider-Man and led the Clippers to 17 points in the first half.
Entering the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Clippers reopened the point difference to double digits, leading the Lakers 86 to 76!
At this point, the Clippers were at the end of their rope. Facing the onslaught of the Lakers' official timeout, they were unable to withstand the Lakers' official timeout and scored 14 points in half a quarter.
But the Lakers' defense was also very poor at this time. Bibby calmly distributed the ball. Li Ao and Matt Halprin cut in from the wings to attack the frame. In addition, O'Neal mentioned the reverse running cut behind the free throw line. O'Neal could only care about two at most. Unable to cover the entire close range by oneself like before, the Clippers scored 10 points in half a quarter!
At 10:24 pm, the final whistle sounded.
96 to 90, the Clippers refused to go out and chased the score to 2 to 3!
…
Kobe had 35 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, O'Neal had 32 points, 20 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. The OK combination is still fierce, but it can't beat the rampaging aircraft carrier!
Li Ao made 14 of 32 shots, including 3 of 12 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, scoring a game-high 36 points, plus 7 rebounds, 0 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Tonight, Li Ao created another first in his career - the first time he had no assists in a single game!
He was shooting and shooting throughout the game. He didn't care about anything, just throwing. He digested all the shots that his teammates couldn't make. He was crazy about shooting, but he also hit a lot of shots with a very high accuracy, setting a new career playoff scoring high!
Coupled with Jordan's 20 points, Bibby's 13 points and 6 assists, Big Q's 17 points, Odom's 6 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists... the Clippers won!
More than 20,000 fans at the scene couldn't believe this scene. The Clippers dominated the Lakers for a whole game!
The Kings, Magic, and Nets fans in front of the TV reacted faster. As soon as the game ended, they went online to read "Clippers championship" and "Spider-Man is the best in the world."
Anyway, during the Los Angeles Derby, they were all Clippers fans and the most loyal fans of Spider-Man, more loyal than fans of the Clippers and Trojans.
The fans of those two teams still have a future to look forward to. They are different. What they want is now. This is the moment when the Clippers can kill the Lakers.
The OK team is too strong and terrifying. Their teammates were like this tonight and they almost came back.
If Jordan hadn't scored 10 points in the first half of the last quarter and Li Ao had 11 points in the third quarter, the Clippers would have been wiped out by the OK combination!
However, the Clippers' victory was only 2-3, and the Lakers were still in the lead.
Even though the fans of those teams were shouting "Spider-Man is the best in the world" and "Clippers championship", they didn't think the Clippers could win 3 games in a row. They just wanted to express their support and sympathy. And disgusting Lakers fans.
Watching the live broadcast from a distance, you can see the psychological shadow. Even fans of the Magic, Nets, and Kings, who have TT, Kidd, and the Five Generals, all agree with the saying that "OK is the best in the world."
They don't feel ashamed to admit it.
It was not them who shouted this slogan first, but the 20-year-old super-talented Spider-Man who was currently playing for the Clippers and wanted to join the Lakers when he was in college.
They have been mentioning this matter on the Internet every few days recently, and the Lakers fans are furious.
The rest of the day passed quickly. At 8 pm on May 19th, still at the Staples Center, Game 6 of the Los Angeles Derby began!
At this point in the series, pre-match preparations, rhythm considerations, etc. are of little use.
It is also difficult for the Zen master to judge the status of the veterans, so he can only rely on adapting to the situation.
On Gentry's side, he had been suffering from losses during the pre-match preparations, so he simply prepared in one direction. He was bearish on whether he would win or lose, so he just got started!
The Lakers' defensive focus tonight is on Li Ao. In the eyes of Zen Master, Li Ao has become a pure pitcher and a more promiscuous version of Kobe. It is easy to use, but it is opposite...
But he still underestimated the basketball god who created two dynasties with him.
Jordan's defensive pressure was slightly reduced tonight, and he went on a rampage, making 5 of 8 shots in the half, plus 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 12 points in 6 minutes and 33 seconds!
Coupled with the 8 points of his teammates, Jordan led the team to a half-quarter score of 20 to 15. Godhead briefly revived again, single-handedly carrying the OK combination that scored 11 points in the half-quarter!
Taking advantage of this momentum, the Clippers scored 12-10 in the second half of the quarter, leading the Lakers by 7 points 32-25 in the first quarter!
In the first five games, the Lakers did one thing particularly well, which was the key to their ability to maintain their strength advantage - they did not allow the Clippers' young players to really show their momentum.
But the Clippers led the whole game in G5, and with Jordan scoring 12 points in the first half of the quarter tonight, the youthful energy of the Clippers' young players burst out!
In the second quarter, the Lakers wanted to start from the defensive end, take the Clippers by surprise, and help Kobe create an opportunity to exert his strength in the second half.
Jackson's goal was achieved, limiting the Clippers to only 20 points in a single quarter, a full 12 points less than the first quarter.
But the Clippers' defense was even more desperate, and the Lakers' score was 10 points less than in the first quarter.
After halftime, the Clippers led the Lakers by 12 points 52-40!
In the third quarter, the OK combination started to exert force, but failed to rush forward. They scored 22 points in a single quarter, and were scored 23 points by the Clippers. Not only did they not narrow the point difference, they were even opened up by 1 point. Trailing 62 to 75.
In the final quarter, the OK combination successfully rushed forward. Kobe scored 12 points and O'Neal scored 8 points. The two scored 20 points together to lead the Lakers to 28 points in a single quarter.
But on the opposite side, Li Ao had 8 points, Bibby had 7 points, Jordan had 6 points, O'Neal Jr. had 5 points, and Campbell had 2 points... He also scored 28 points in a single quarter!
Kobe made 14 of 35 shots tonight, including 2 of 10 three-pointers, plus 6 of 8 free throws, scoring 36 points.
O'Neal made 12 of 26 shots, plus 6 of 10 free throws, for 30 points and 19 rebounds.
But Li Ao made 15 of 32 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 37 points.
Jordan made 13 of 25 shots, plus 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 34 points.
Bibby had 17 points and 6 assists, and O'Neal Jr. had 14 points and 12 rebounds.
The Clippers defeated the Lakers 103-90, creating the largest point difference in the Los Angeles Derby and evening the score!
3 to 3, the Los Angeles Derby entered the tiebreaker!
…
Did the Clippers really tie the big score?
Watching the news and watching the Clippers fans regroup and show off their power in the news comment sections of major forums and portal websites, the fans of the Kings, Magic, and Nets were in disbelief.
They roared lively, but it was just a roar.
When the Clippers really tied the score, the sense of oppression brought by the Los Angeles team not only did not get smaller, but actually got bigger!
When encountering these two teams, whoever stamps on them will be stunned!
Playing against the sharp Clippers... is really not easier than playing against the Lakers!
At least the Lakers can still hope that their veterans will give it a try if they perform poorly.
But the veteran of the Clippers...referring to Jordan, who scored 34 points with a shooting percentage of over 50% against the OK combination?
The two teams in Los Angeles made the fans of the other three teams competing for the championship feel unreasonable.
Now, their slogan has changed - "God, why do you prefer the City of Angels so much?"
The mentality is broken, but the game still needs to be watched.
There were many fans who were impressed by watching the live broadcast from a distance. After the Los Angeles Derby G6, on the two rest days of the 20th and 21st, tens of thousands of people poured into Los Angeles to grab tickets and seats in the nightclub and bar fan club.
The scalpers are happy, and so are the major TV stations.
As of noon on May 22, the day of the Los Angeles Derby tie-breaker, according to incomplete statistics, the total number of paid reservations on major TV stations has exceeded 20 million. If this trend continues, something incredible may happen. ——The number of paid views for a single non-finals playoff game exceeded 28 million!
This number is special - the ratings exceed 30%.
Not as crazy as the NCAA, where two or three games every year exceed 28 million paid views. In the NBA, this is a very rare situation. Since the new century, no game has exceeded 28 million.
Since detailed statistics were available after 1986, there have been only 6 games in which the NBA's ratings exceeded 30%.
The G6 ratings of the 1998 Finals were 35.88%, the G6 ratings of the 1993 Finals were 32.1%, the G5 ratings of the 1997 Finals were 31%, the G5 ratings of the 1998 Finals were 30.6%, and the G4 ratings of the 1993 Finals were 30.3%. The ratings of G7 in the 1988 Finals were 30%.
Except for these 6 games, no more, and without exception, these 6 games are all the finals that attract a lot of attention.
This time, we are going to make history!
The ratings for non-finals games exceed 30%. Considering the financial situation of Yingjiang fans, this means that all Yingjiang fans are paying attention to this game.
Flower growers and basketball fans on the other side of the ocean are also excited.
When they fell behind 1-3, they were desperate.
But now, they are extremely excited... The media and experts are scolding each other. They have been preparing the "Spider-Man Try His Best, Basketball God A" draft for a year, but it was all in vain!
The key is that they have already sent it out, and now they can only find excuses again shamelessly.
Fortunately, they are already thick-skinned, and the topic is more popular than anything else.
…
"I didn't expect it would come to this."
"You should have thought of it."
"I thought about it, but it came too early. He is worthy of the God of Basketball."
"I'm talking to you, what are you talking about Michael... Come back here, don't run away if you have the guts, let's fight! You!"
At 7:40 pm, Staples Center, the two teams entered the court.
It was rare for Snake to take the initiative to talk to Spider-Man before the game. He prepared this trash talk for two days, provoked Spider-Man and ran away. After escaping, he was so excited that he finally defeated Spider-Man verbally. Wave.
The series was dragged to a tiebreaker by the Clippers. Instead of being scared, Kobe was even more excited.
What we want is this kind of thrilling victory.
I, Kobe Bryant, nicknamed Black Mamba and Nicknamed Snake, will fight even if there are difficulties, even if there are no difficulties, I will fight even if there are difficulties!
Although this difficulty was not what he expected, he was fearless and faced it head on!
Jordan also exchanged words with O'Neal.
There is no politeness between the two teams now. How can they affect each other's mood? Although it is useless, but in this fight, it is unjustifiable not to say something.
Tonight, the on-site support for the two teams was a rare 50-50 split. Lakers fans were more experienced and active in grabbing tickets this time, and they were stunned to grab half a half of the tickets.
It also has something to do with the larger Lakers fan base and wider distribution of fans. Many Lakers fans come from all over the country and even around the world. They are unwilling to not watch the game in person and will buy it at any high price.
It is said that the most expensive first row ticket sold for $250,000.
At this price, during the past two years of the housing market downturn, one could buy a small villa in a non-popular area of Los Angeles. The house bought by Gerald Wallace was at this price.
The voices of the fans on both sides were almost the same, which made Li Ao a little uncomfortable.
When playing the Lakers, shouldn't it be their home court regardless of home or away?
But I’m not used to it, tie-breaks, this atmosphere is even better!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game starts!
The two teams quickly entered the state, fighting for their lives on both offense and defense.
Neither side took advantage this time. The OK combination is stronger, and the Clippers are full of the blood and energy that young people should have.
After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Clippers by 1 point, 22-21.
In the second quarter, the defense of both teams declined. They fought too hard in the first quarter, and the opponent's offense was too fierce. Both sides could not withstand this situation and turned to offense in a tacit understanding.
In the tiebreaker, we need to be more cautious than any previous game. If we lose, we will really lose it. Jackson never likes to take the initiative to make adjustments on the spot, and Gentry did not become more aggressive. The two teams competed peacefully for the entire quarter.
The score in the single quarter was 33 to 30. Big Q, who came on the bench, counterattacked and scored 8 points on 4 of 6 shots in the single quarter, helping the Clippers take the advantage and lead the Lakers by two points at 54 to 52 entering the halftime break.
In the third quarter, Kobe couldn't help it anymore and started shooting!
O'Neal followed closely and led his teammates to defend.
In this quarter, Kobe only shot 3 of 8 from the field, but one of them was a three-pointer. Plus 3 of 4 free throws, he scored 10 points in a single quarter. The defense led by O'Neal was also very strong. He only scored 3 points from close range, and he didn't hit a single counterattack, but... Jordan played 9 minutes in a single quarter, making 3 of 7 shots, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, supporting the offense!
Li Ao scored two three-pointers from the outside, and with Bibby's 2+1 in a catch-and-shoot, the Clippers scored 20 points in a single quarter!
The Lakers scored 21 points in the third quarter, more than the Clippers, but they only narrowed the gap by 1 point.
74 to 73, the Clippers continue to maintain a 1-point lead!
After the break, Jackson sent out a combination of Fisher, Kobe, Rick Fox, Horry, and O'Neal.
Instead of playing key shots at the last moment, sending Rick Fox and Horry together, and O'Neal has already played for two quarters, the Lakers have reached a desperate moment.
Li Ao played with Bibby, Big Q, Odom, and Campbell. Looking at the five players on the opposite side, he understood that the opposite side was preparing to rely on offense, and there was no other way!
However, the Lakers are the Lakers, and the Zen Master is the Zen Master. When they have no choice but to fight, the formation is still excellent.
Fisher and Horry are the most threatening in the final quarter. Rick Fox provides support or support from the top of the arc, and Kobe is the pivot in the mid-range. O'Neal has a very good position to launch a one-on-one attack!
In the first half of the quarter, O'Neal scored 9 points and 1 assist, coupled with Kobe's 4 points and 2 assists, the Lakers scored 19 points, overpowering the Clippers, who scored 18 points, and tied the score at 92-92!
After the official timeout came back, O'Neal also withered.
O'Neal is really tired now, not just tonight, but in the entire series. This series is now in Game 7. He has only rested for 10 minutes in total, which is an average of less than 10 minutes per game. To two minutes, I have never played that long in my entire career.
At this time, Kobe stood up and continued to lead the attack!
Without O'Neal to initiate the offense, and the Clippers' ability to cut off passes in the middle was strong, Kobe could only do it on his own.
At the critical moment, the Black Mamba was fierce, scoring 12 points in 4 minutes, two points more than the entire Clippers team.
At 10 minutes and 04 seconds into the final quarter of the game, the Clippers called a timeout. The score was 102 to 104, trailing the Lakers by two points!
During the timeout, Gentry replaced Jordan and Campbell, while Li Ao and Odom stayed on the court and replaced Bibby, Big Q, and O'Neal Jr.
There were no substitutions on the Lakers side, and the five players continued to play, maintaining threats from the wings and the basket, maintaining a receiving point in the top arc, and Kobe continued to attack.
Zen Master can only count on Kobe now, for tactics and so on. They didn't play very well in this series, relying solely on OK combination.
Gentry actually has no choice now, and the only one he can count on is Li Ao.
However, he did a good job in adjusting on the spot. Taking advantage of Jordan, Bibby, Odom, Big Q, O'Neal, and Matt Halprin to play hard tonight and in good condition, he handed over most of the main offensive tasks. With these people, these people also held up the situation and took most of the points. Li Ao played 40 minutes and scored 16 points, which is not low, but there were few singles, mostly catching and shooting, and his main focus was on the association. In defense and supplementary defense, even in one-on-one defense against Kobe, Big Q is doing it most of the time.
Now, Li Ao is in good condition!
After returning from the timeout, Li Ao rewarded Gentry. Facing Kobe's defense, he turned around and retreated to hit a three-pointer!
105 to 104, the Clippers overtook the Lakers by 1 point!
Immediately afterwards, Kobe scored two points with a sudden inside throw, 106 to 105, and the Lakers took the lead again.
When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao continued to play against Kobe Bryant alone, without considering other options, he just wanted to shoot!
Kobe was really holding on at this time. He took a gamble and pressed up to prevent Li Ao from shooting.
Li Ao seized the opportunity, turned around and rushed forward. He made a sudden stop within the distance of the free throw line on the right side of the three-second zone and made a jump shot... and hit it again!
When the Lakers attack, Kobe Bryant continues to break through, and O'Neal Jr. moves ahead to double attack. Kobe Bryant passes the ball to O'Neal, and O'Neal catches the ball and steps inside, takes off, and dunks... "Pa", "Cang"...
When Li Ao chased after him, he ran directly towards O'Neal. He cooperated tacitly with O'Neal Jr. and pressed O'Neal's dunk against the basket with one palm!
Odom recovered and grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately launched a counterattack. He rushed to the opposite three-point line and passed the ball to the big Q. The big Q rushed in and passed... Li Ao caught the ball on the wing and faced the charging Rick Fox for a three-pointer. …
This is the first defender Li Ao encounters in this round, and the 'bullying mode' is on!
'Catch and shoot expert' three-pointer +5, 'Bullying mode all-round shooting +2', Li Ao's three-pointer was temporarily increased to nearly the top 89, and Rick Fox's defense was not in place and had no impact at all. Looking at his shooting action... he hit a chasing three-pointer!
110 to 106, the Clippers lead reaches 4 points!
In the atmosphere of tens of thousands of people cheering and booing, the Zen master was wondering whether to call a timeout?
Still don't want it, Kobe has already hurriedly asked for the ball to advance.
Kobe rushed to the three-point line. The cheers turned into "defense" and the boos turned into cheers.
Kobe also chose to chase for a three-pointer, but unlike just now when Li Ao actively looked for a receiving position and caught the ball and shot an open three-pointer, Kobe directly faced Li Ao's long arm and did it!
This scene at this time is just like that scene before. Time seems to have returned to 6 years ago. Kobe was on the verge of being eliminated with more than 20 seconds left and he threw a three-pointer regardless. The result was the same as 6 years ago. …
Kobe's throw was as backward as Li Ao's, and he was about to lie down in the air. The ball he threw didn't touch anything, and fell into the arms of Odom, one of the three people surrounding the Sharks!
Odom advanced to counterattack, but was blocked by Kobe at the three-point line. Big Q followed up from the wing, and Bibby followed up at a 45-degree angle on the left. Odom passed the ball to Bibby at a 45-degree angle on the left.
Bibby caught the ball and was turned around by Fisher. Fisher's rough rush forced Bibby to make a quick decision, but Fisher was strong and so was Bibby. The latter steadily protected the ball and caught it. Timing, delivery...
Li Ao stepped into the three-second zone to receive the ball, and it was Rick Fox who recovered the basket. O'Neal had just entered the three-point line.
Rick Fox felt despair in his heart, but he still bravely rushed forward to hug Li Ao...flying high!
Li Ao took off with Rick Fox hanging on him. His jump was not high, but his arms were long. He hung on Rick Fox and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!
At this scene, the referee was stunned for a moment. When Rick Fox slipped from Li Ao, the referee blew the whistle.
This whistle is almost the same whether it is there or not, but when the whistle sounded, it gave the Clippers fans at the scene the opportunity to cheer and watch the replay on the big screen, and gave the fans in front of the TV the opportunity to appreciate this cut-in and catch the ball and the brutal dunk!
However, only half of the fans were cheering and enjoying the replay. The other half broke the defense and cursed and booed Li Ao crazily.
Li Ao faced the cheers and ignored the referee's gesture to call him for a free throw. He walked to the center circle, leaned over, and put his hands behind his ears to listen. The cheers, boos, and curses on the scene became even more violent!
The referee who was ignored... chose to forgive on the spot.
Spider-Man will say 'thank you' every time he receives a serve from the referee, every time he receives the ball before a free throw, and every time before the game starts. When addressing them, he will add 'Mr' in front of the word 'referee', which is occasionally impolite. It doesn't matter at once.
Stern, who rarely gets to watch the game from the sidelines, also stood up and applauded this time.
He didn't expect the Clippers to actually do it!
The dominance of OK group was broken from this moment on!
The Los Angeles duo, the Orlando TT combination, the genius Kidd, the Kings five, the Dallas crazy offensive team, the Portland interior corps...and that damn Detroit new bad boy corps. This picture is so beautiful.
Oh, by the way, maybe New York can become popular again, and I hope Dolan seizes the opportunity this time.
Where could it be easier to open up a florist market than in the Big Apple? In the eyes of flower growers, the Big Apple is the most prosperous and wealthy city in the world.
Stern does not expect the Knicks to be as popular as the Clippers, but at least be better than the Lakers.
He really couldn't understand how Kobe, a paranoid man who only knew how to train all day long, could be so popular among the flower growers, and how the Lakers were so popular among the flower growers' fans...
On the court, the OK team stood together, watching Li Ao listen arrogantly, and went to the free throw line to make an extra free throw despite the referee's repeated urging.
It's over, it's over, this season is over!
The last time they were eliminated was already in the last century, and they were not used to this feeling.
Is it anger or unwillingness? Yes, but not entirely. Their feelings were much more complicated than this, so much so that they couldn't even feel how angry and unwilling they were.
In the last few seconds, the Lakers didn't play, and Kobe put the ball on the floor after receiving it.
The Clippers players, coaches, and trainers on the sidelines... saw this and rushed into the court, cheering wildly!
At 10:23:24 in the evening on May 22, 2002, the final whistle sounded.
Li Ao made 10 of 18 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, plus 3 of 5 free throws, scoring 27 points. At the last minute, he made 4 of 4 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 1 of 1 free throws. 11 points!
Jordan made 9 of 23 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 26 points.
Bibby had 14 points, Big Q had 15 points, O'Neal Jr. had 12 points and 11 rebounds, Odom had 11 points and 10 assists...
Beating O'Neal with 33 points and Kobe Bryant with 41 points.
113 to 106, the Clippers won the tiebreaker with a 7-point advantage, and reversed the Lakers with a big score of 4 to 3 to advance to the Western Conference Finals!
For the post-game interview, the TV station invited the trio of heroes and ghosts, but Bibby left directly. The media didn't like him, and he didn't like the media either.
When asked about ending the Lakers' two consecutive championships, Jordan asked reporters to tell him: "Ask Bryant, what does it feel like to lose in the 21st century version of the playoffs?"
Li Ao responded: "Did you hear it? Didn't you hear it? Oh, this is the sound of the Angel City battleship knocking over a shark. A mere shark with a snake coiled around it cannot stop the steel torrent of the Angel City battleship!"

Flower Gardener News Headlines - "NBA Changes"
Yingjiangjia News Headline - "The King of Angel City Changes Owner"
The Clippers came back from behind 3-1 to advance, causing a sensation in the entire sports world!
The world's number one OK group has fallen!
The final number of paid viewings for the Los Angeles Derby tie-breaker will exceed 35 million, with a ratings of close to 38%... breaking the single-game ratings record for an NBA game held by G6 of the 1998 Finals!
By the end of the quarter, the number of paid viewings had increased by more than 4 million, which was only a little lower than the highest-rated game between the Pistons and Nets in the series.
There were so many people watching the game and even more people discussing it.
The fans of the two teams in the Eastern Conference finals are okay, but the fans of the Kings are mentally shattered.
They just shouted 'Clippers championship', but the Clippers actually made it to the Western Conference Finals!
When Spider-Man was not in front of them, they supported Spider-Man very much, but when it was in front of them... In the penultimate game of the regular season, the scene of Spider-Man scoring 61 points in overtime appeared in front of them...
OK, what are you guys doing for food?
Fans of the Trail Blazers, Celtics, Pacers, and 76ers are different. They continue to chant "Clippers championship." In this playoffs, they are real Clippers fans. !
Is there anything greater than seeing another Los Angeles team win a championship?
When their home team is eliminated, there is none!
When the Lakers were eliminated, fans of many teams were already happy. Some continued to support the Clippers, some stopped watching the game because their own teams were gone, and some went to support the four teams in the conference finals. of the other 3 teams.
The fans of these four teams are different. Their hatred for the Lakers will not end if the Lakers lose. Not only do they not want to see the Lakers win the championship, they really want to see the Clippers win the championship and shake the Lakers. team’s status in Los Angeles.
They followed the arrogant footsteps of Clippers fans and became arrogant!
However, the dominance and personal abilities of the OK group are still recognized.
Kobe averaged 33.4 points per game, and O'Neal averaged 27.7 points, 15.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3 blocks per game.
It's not that they didn't perform well enough, it's that the Clippers team performed too well.
Although Li Ao's hit rate was not good, he averaged 31.9 points on the field, barely carrying Kobe's firepower.
Jordan, Bibim, Odom, Aonier, Campbell, Big Q, Matt Hapling and other main forces also show their ability.
In particular, Jordan, 39, performed among Lowe Derby, which is amazing.
Shuangsha is the best veteran? Perhaps it is, but the god of basketball is still old, and it is still the god of basketball!
Although the Clippers' seven -year war defeating the Lakers is only the second round of the game, it is the most influential game after the war of G6 Jordan in the 1998 Finals.
…
The Clippers' players were excited for 1 day, took a break for 1 day, and reached May 24th to enter the West to preparation.
Li Ao was also excited for a day yesterday, making 80 calls to Kobe's family. No one answered, and the other party did not cut the phone line. It is estimated that the mobile phone was put on the home to avoid the wind.
He didn't play in the 81st time, and he would be sad 81 times. He would be sad.
Three tasks have completed the two.
'Kobe version of Jordan's team' mission, he didn't get any rewards!
The highest score in a single game was originally ahead of 37 points. As a result, the last Kobe Bryant Half of Half -quarters was 14 points, and he bumped a single game for 41 points to overtake.
In the entire series, Kobe scored 234 points and scored a total of 18 three points. His Spider -Man scored only 223 points, and a total of 17 goals were scored. For the highest three -pointer, Kobe scored 7. This Spider -Man couldn't help it. There were 11 games in 6 games and 7 games. This kind of thing was outrageous.
He also looked forward to getting the highest doubling of 24,000 achievements and the level 4 skill upgrade card of the "fighting industry", as a result, there was no Mao.
Fortunately, the better reward got the hand, the 'Gang Shark Action' has completed the basic goal. Earn by 1, it is not unexpected without getting it.
He raised 'sharks' that night to level 5.
"Shark level 5: When the host picks up the ball under the basket, the speed is +5, layup +5;
When the offensive basket is under the basket, if there is only one defensive player under the basket, the host chooses to dunk, the speed is +5, and the explosive power is +5. "
After two nights, Li Ao was still very excited to see this full -class skill.
In addition to those meat shields in the league, how many inside force can reach 95?
Even if you still have to consider weight, his Spider -Man is more than 100 kilograms.
Continue to strengthen the ability to cut into the ball this summer!
The new skills are a bit ... special.
"Class 1 of residual blood: When the host is in a state of fatigue, and the backward score difference is within 5 points, entering the hot state of the feel. Note: The state of fiery feel will not provide physical bonus. Avoid the dilemma of the same model of the rookie Black Mamba because of lack of effort. "
This skill is classified to the 'Status' class by the system.
He feels that this skill is very powerful, but it is still dangerous if it is better not to use it. Residual blood everywhere.
If it is time to use it, let's go to the level first, he currently has the conditions to rise directly to level 3, but he does not choose to upgrade for the time being. Tens of thousands of achievement points.
There was another new task trigger the night before.
"Glory belongs to Angel City:
Objective 1: Read the finals.
Reward: 50,000 achievement points.
Objective 2: Win the championship.
Reward: 100,000 achievements, 1 high -level attribute point. "
The task goal is simple and direct, the reward is high, and there is no need to take the extra mind, just go all out to win.
After crossing the Lakers, his confidence rose.
He can also feel that his teammates have increased their confidence, but compared to him, teammates cannot be said to be excited, but excitement.
However, Jordan is here to suppress the excessive emotions of his teammates.
Jordan is really actively using his experience to adjust the emotions of teammates. In the past two rounds, he has to work hard.
Crossing the Lakers, they really have a chance to win the championship!
As the absolute main force to win the championship again, this was what Jordan did not expect when he returned. The best thing he felt at the time was to give the Spider -Man Cither the title of "Jordan's straight successor" to help the Clipper fleet. Create the championship lineup.
As a result, I did not expect that it was in place directly!
The Clippers' coaches and players have a very good understanding of the Kings team. Under the leadership of Jordan, under the command of Jordan, it is carried out in an orderly manner.
After a day of preparation, in the evening, Li Ao watched the East Battle of the Magic and the Nets.
Ken Yang Martin was miserable by Duncan, and he had a few times a few times. Only poor 9 shots, and scored only 4 times. In addition to the free throw of 3 of 3, he scored 9 points. .
Duncan may be stimulated by Lowe Deby, 12 of 21 shots, plus the free throw of 8 of 12, and 32 points and 20 boards.
But Kidd is Kidd. In the case of so huge inside disadvantages, he led the Nets to play with the Magic team.
Kidd had 18 points and 11 boards and 16 assists to help 6 teammates score on double.
Unfortunately, there is McGrady next to Duncan!
McGrady's score was limited by Kidd, with only 6 of 15 shots, 1 of 4 of them, rare free throws, 3 of 4 free throws, only 16 points for 15 shots, but 6 boards 1 steals 4 steals 4 Cover and 15 assists that are also crazy!
The TT group got 30+20 and Double 15, the Magic team won the Nets with 105-99, holding the first home.
I haven't watched the magic team live for a long time. This game left the most impressive impression on Li Ao, not the strength of Duncan and Kidd, but McGrady.
Except for the agile style, this Microscope, which is completely different from the McGrady he is impressed.
Play more selflessly, know how to win, and the defense is better.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Ao went to bed early and entered the dreamland to have a spirit of sufficient for tomorrow's game.
…
On May 25th, the first day of the West was coming.
The king fans, these days have felt the torture that the Lakers fans have felt.
Watching the Clippers fans jumping so happy, they regret it, it is better to look at the Lakers fans.
The fans of the Los Angeles team now make them annoying.
The key is that the Lakers fans did not support them because they were opponents of the Clippers, and they mocked them.
At the time, how they sprayed the Lakers, now the Lakers fans spray them.
They feel what people are doing, not that they are not reported ...
The Clippers fans are really excited now. Last year, their team history scored for the first time. This year, the first time in the West, it is even more likely to go further!
Both have ended the two consecutive championships of the invincible OK combination. Why not continue to move forward?
At 7:40 pm, the Staples Center and the two teams' entry ceremony began.
Twenty thousand fans at the scene were very excited. The eighth consecutive game of their teams played in 'home' in a row. They all began to imagine that they will continue to play with the Lakers next season ... Of course, they are the happiest to win.
The nature of the king's players has been liberated, and the five major starting to enter one more coquettish than one, but when he saw Jordan, Bibi, Aonier, Matthaplin, and Li Ao entering the venue, the five king's five tigers were under unprecedented.
Their goal is to challenge the Lakers and the identity of the challenger, which does not mean that they have no confidence to win, but it does mean that they do not have the grasp of winning, and treat the Lakers as opponents that are difficult to defeat.
As a result, the Lakers were killed by another team. When they met the opponents of the Lakers on the court, they rushed to face.
Especially the two people who played one after the other, let the King of Kings defend the best Doug Christie to see them the first time they wanted to pick a son.
The god of basketball and Spider -Man is all he can't prevent!
Li Ao's side, after entering the court, has not had time to open his arms to enjoy cheers, and the task came.
He immediately opened the system screen to see the task.
The first goal was to let him scold "Nigero".
"Gorgeous teams, as gorgeous as fireworks, fleeting. Let's have a wonderful battle ... Task: Gorgeous Western decision triggers."
"Gorgeous Western Decision:
Objective 1: The average score of the host in the Western finals is higher than that of the regular season with the king team. (Four times in the regular season, averaging 42.25 points at home.) ... "
