Chapter 241 Defend our home court

Everything came too suddenly, and it was already a little late when the Clippers realized something was wrong.

Bydam and Gasol didn't know what they had eaten. The second game was like playing hormones. Bydam scored 12 points in the first quarter and Gasol scored 11 points in the second quarter. The combined data of the two men in the half-time was as high as 41 points and 14 rebounds, completely slamming the Clippers' inside line.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. didn't even react to what happened, and they were beaten up by Gasol and Bydam.

At the end of the half, the Clippers were 20 points behind. Even if Wang Dapao and Paul were still powerful, the shooting percentage of the outside line is incomparable to the inside line. The inside line's power is far more terrifying than the outside line.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Negro immediately arranged a rotation defense, allowing Wang Dapao, who had been in charge of the outside defense, to run to defend Baidam.

Although Wang Dapao is less than 2 meters tall, he became famous because of his strong defense, and he was able to defend both outside and inside. In the past two years, there have been many inside players under Wang Dapao, such as Stoudemire, Howard, Nowitzki and others, who have been defeated by Wang Dapao. Of course, there is no lack of Bydam.

Bydam, who has already suffered losses many times, has no particularly good idea when facing Wang Dapao.

But after all, the score gap has widened, and it is too difficult to fill the pit. After all, there is a super breakup Kobe on the Lakers.

After the last game, Kobe had basically adapted to Matthews' oppressive defense in this game, and his scoring efficiency was further improved. Kobe had already scored 32 points in three quarters and had a very high shooting percentage.

When the fourth quarter started, the Clippers were still 13 points behind the Lakers.

Although 13 points is not the biggest point difference in playoff history, it is definitely not small. Especially in a more difficult game like the playoffs, it is still a bit difficult to catch up with this score.

When the Clippers fought hard to recover the score to a 3-point difference, there was no longer enough time to play.

In desperation, the Clippers could only implement the foul plan, but with Wang Dapao's three-pointer missed, the Clippers' game was doomed to end in failure.

Losing a game is no big deal. After all, it takes seven games to win four games in each round of the playoffs to decide the winner. The Lakers' double towers are awesome in this game. But it is difficult to guarantee that they can still do this. After this game, the Clippers' coaching staff will also focus on how to limit the Lakers' inside line. After all, the Clippers are still stronger than the Lakers in overall strength, and the possibility of winning the game is relatively high.

But this is not the case in the eyes of Lakers fans. The victory in the second game gave them a glimmer of victory and made them realize that if the Lakers reused the inside, it would be very easy to win.

"Although the Clippers' inside line looks pretty good, it's still much worse than the Lakers' inside line configuration. If the Lakers want to kill the Clippers as soon as possible, then Brown must think carefully about the use of the inside line!" A famous celebrity said clearly in a news interview: "In addition, they also have to try their best to limit Wang Dapao's score. As long as they can curb Wang Dapao, it will be easy to win."

Many people know that it is basically impossible to complete the second point, which is to limit Wang Dapao’s score. Wang Dapao is too buggy, just like Jordan Iverson and McGrady at the time, it is not something that humans can defend at all. So everyone is concerned about, that is, the Lakers exert their inside strength.

With so many people paying attention, Lakers' head coach Brown also said that in the next game, he will focus on the resource allocation of the Lakers' inside line and strive to defend the dignity of the home court at the Lakers' home court.

Brown's words are quite meaningful, which not only represents the difference between home and away games in ordinary playoffs. It also has a deeper meaning, because this time the Lakers played against the Clippers. Although the two teams have home and away games, in fact, the seven playoff games were held in Staples, the largest indoor stadium in Los Angeles.

What Brown said about defending the dignity of the home court can also be regarded as defending Staples' dignity from another level.

The Staples Arena has always been the home court of the Lakers. The Clippers joined later and shared the same stadium with the Lakers.

Although this was decided after the "friendly" negotiation between the Lakers boss and the Clippers boss, it was not what the team's players, coaches and fans wanted.

Basketball is a sports competitive sport. It must have a victory or defeat, even in other aspects. In the minds of Lakers players and fans, Staples always has only one home court, that is, the Lakers.

Although Brown took over the Lakers this season and led the Lakers to a result that Lakers fans were very dissatisfied with, and ranked fourth in the West, his words were loved and recognized by Lakers fans.

"Brown said what we want to say! Staples is the Lakers' home court, not the Clippers'! We must defend the dignity of the home court!"

In the third game, the Lakers' home game, Lakers fans hung up such a slogan.

However, such a banner full of momentum seemed a bit insolent at the Lakers' home court, because at this time the Lakers' home court was the same as the Clippers' first two games at home. A large piece of red half-sleeved occupied almost half of the stands. Of course, these Clippers' fans would not let Lakers' fans go wild.

Since you can play wild at our home court, we can also make noise at your home court. Staples is just the Lakers' home court, it's simply fart. We have to tell you with practical actions that the Lakers' era has passed.

There were countless Clippers fans who appeared at the Lakers' home court with this idea. They booed at the Lakers players standing on the court like the Lakers fans two days ago, as if this was the Clippers' home court.

Fans have always been impulsive creatures, especially fans. Whether it is football fans or basketball fans, they are definitely second to none in terms of impulsiveness.
