Sometimes, I often expect it to be good before the game, but when I get to the game, I find that it is not the same thing at all...

For example, the four turrets arranged before the Clippers race were found during the competition that they had no shells at all, which was too embarrassing.

In the first three minutes of Artest's game, all he thought about was his own offense. The Clippers were scored a 7:2* by the Spurs at home. Artest missed four consecutive attacks, giving Old Dunleavy an answer of 0 of 4 shots, almost causing Old Dunleavy to get angry and have a stroke on the court!

Taylor Swift and Emma Roberts have already cursed Artest pig teammates on the scene, so give basketball to Ji Guohuo/Ji Guohuo!

Artest also knew that he was too cheating in these three minutes. As soon as the game came, the beast immediately took the initiative to admit his mistake to the coach and apologized to his teammates.

Old Dunleavy resisted his anger. He knew that players with a personality like Artest could not criticize him directly on the court, which would make him unable to get out of the market. Since he had made a statement, he could only stop until he could not mention this matter again.

"Ron, there is no chance to shoot after breaking through, please pay attention to passing the ball outward."

Artestic nodded: "I know what to do."

Old Dunleavy cursed in his heart, do you know why he still beat him like this?

However, I felt very sorry in my heart. Since Artest knew what to do, there was nothing to solve. They actually had one problem in these three minutes of the game. As long as Artest divided the basketball outside, the firepower output of their four turrets was enough for the Spurs to drink!

Charles Barkley said during a timeout: "Did you see Artest's new hairstyle? This is a guy who can attract attention on and off the court. He is a celebrity in the eyes of the media."

Kenny Smith smiled: "He has a strong defensive ability. I think his biggest improvement this season is to help the team undertake part of the passing task. He is a player who can attract double teams on the offensive end. He often does this in the early stages of the season, but later, with the continuous improvement of Panda's support ability, he introduced MVP Billups in the finals after the All-Star Game. The Clippers no longer use his support ability, so he seems to have forgotten how to pass the ball."

After the game started again, Billups was about to control the ball himself, but since Dunley still asked to proceed as planned, Mr. Key still handed the ball to Artest and let the beast play singles on the wing.

**Vic found it interesting off the court. One tactic failed four times in a row and was still using it. What exactly did the Clippers want to do?

Bruce Bowenxin said: "Although I am already 37 years old, you hit me five times in a row at the beginning of the game. Do you really treat me as a bean bag?"

Artest's moves have been used for a long time. He has not changed much on the offensive end. He only has three tricks back and forth. It would be okay if he used them once every once a while, but he fought five times in a row. He really doesn't take Bruce and Bowen seriously.

Bruce Bowen made an advance prediction on the defensive end this time and directly caused Artest to make an offensive foul. He simply gave the Clippers the ball without even a chance to shoot.

Uncle Bao San's defense moves were very clean this time, and his position was explained very clearly. Even 20,000 home fans of the Clippers were embarrassed to shout for fake falls. Staples suddenly became deserted, and the cheers at the opening were gone long ago.

Many of the Clippers substitute players on the bench couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands. Artest's five attacks at the beginning were really a scam. I don't know if it was because he was unlucky or he was in a bad state. Perhaps the beast did not sleep well yesterday and was not full today...

**Vic was the first time since the start of the playoffs, and he was laughing so happily. He thought that being a visit to Los Angeles would be an extremely difficult journey, but he didn't expect Artest to give them a funny performance at the beginning. The Hollywood team's hospitality method is indeed unique.

When Ji Guoqiu retreated to defend, he slapped his teammates and shouted loudly: "Get up on your spirits, we are just not lucky today. Please defend their attack first. This is our home court, and luck will come back sooner or later."

The Fox brother's emotions are more likely to be affected by the game on the court, so the work of encouraging morale and inspiring people can only be the responsibility of brother Ji Guochou.

In the first quarter, the four turrets of the Clippers did not play much role at all. Artest did not score five consecutive goals at the beginning, and his confidence suffered a severe blow. After that, he never dared to take the ball to attack. The Clippers were defeated by themselves.

Billups rarely handed over basketball to Artest in the next game. This style of play didn't matter. In the arrangements before the game, Artest's strong attack did not work, then the B plan was to break through with Billups' ball, and Artest's role was converted into a turret. They still had four turrets on the outside to receive Billups' breakthrough pass.

However, today the Spurs' defense is very elastic. Their defense is both like a joint defense but not a joint defense. Once Billups dribbles into the area within the Spurs' free throw line, the Spurs' outside players will instantly shrink to near the penalty area line. Their task is not to double-team Billups, but to cut Billups' passing route and surround him to force the key player to shoot himself.

Duncan used his height to interfere with Billups' shooting at the basket. Shifo's defensive purpose was also very strong, but only interfering. From the beginning, he did not aim at blocking. Once Billups' shooting failed, the Clippers did not even have the chance to compete for the frontcourt rebounds.

This is the targeted defense the Spurs made against the Clippers today. **Vic focused his defense on Billups from the beginning, and did not make too many targeted arrangements for Artest.

At the beginning of the game, if Artest's strong attack was successful, the Spurs really didn't have many ways. **Vicci didn't know that Artest was also threatening, but their energy was limited and they could only take into account the three guys who were the biggest threat in their eyes.

The score in the first quarter was 14:22. The Spurs performed averagely on the offensive end, while the Clippers' offense can be described as negative numbers, which is a mess!

Billups' breakthrough in the first quarter happened to fall into the trap set by the Spurs. Under the special care of the Spurs in the first quarter, Mr. Key not only did he not get a score, but he only exchanged for 4 points after two big hats from Duncan. His pass support was not made, which made the four turrets placed outside the Clippers really become decorations.

The Spurs' advantages are not only limited by Billups. Today, Thomas and Oberto are obviously in excellent form than the previous two games. They have improved by half the level on the defensive and offensive ends, causing a lot of trouble for the twin brothers. Ji Guomeng missed three shots in the first quarter and got a duck egg!

Ji Guoqiu scored 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Ji Guomiang scored 0 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, Billups scored 4 points and 1 assist. Artest scored 3 points and 2 rebounds.

Duncan scored 4 points and 5 rebounds, Parker scored 5 points and 2 assists, Ginobili scored 3 points, Finley scored 4 points, and Bowen scored 3 points.

The Clippers only scored a pitiful 14 points in the first quarter. **Vic smiled on the court today and was almost up to the Clippers' score. The first quarter game allowed the Spurs coach to understand what the Clippers played before the game, which made **Vic laugh even more.

Old Dunleavy didn't have a smile after the first quarter. At this moment, he was unsure of his mind. The tactics they had worked hard to think about for two days were beaten up as soon as they came up. Isn't it really bad to think too much?

After the first quarter, Clippers fans began to shout various slogans to the home team in an orderly manner... Although they also felt that their team's performance in the first quarter was very bad, fans would not lose their enthusiasm because of their poor performance in the second quarter. They hoped to use their cheers and shouts to bring back the Clippers players' form.

This is just the first quarter, and they still have three games to turn defeat into victory!

Dunleavy, amid the cheers of Clippers fans, decided to replay the tactics they were good at in the second quarter, and continued to use Panda Brother as the axis to perform high-level blocking and cutting cooperation and interspersed running, hoping to recover the disadvantage.

Artest was no longer dissatisfied at this time. With his performance today, Sterling had even more excuses not to give him a high-paying contract. Even he felt ashamed of his performance in the first quarter. Do he still want to get the maximum salary after making 5 shots?

During the second quarter, the Clippers relied on the offensive performance of the old cat Mobri and Tim Thomas to recover some points. The Spurs' substitute strength problems are still helpless. Ginobili is the sixth man, but he cannot play a decisive role alone. Manu can only let the Spurs' substitute lineup lose a few points.

At 9 minutes and 25 seconds in the second quarter, **Vic originally wanted to let Tony Parker rest for three minutes, but in the end he couldn't wait. He replaced Parker with the dead ball first to increase the team's ability to break defense on the court.

The score is 20:25, the Spurs have an 8-point lead, and only 5 points are left in less than three minutes. Even if the Spurs have all the mechanisms, they might as well die on their substitute.

The Clippers fans in Staples Arena shouted even more happily at this time. The throat socks Sterling might have added marijuana or stimulants. Today, the atmosphere in Staples Arena also has a hint of devilish home court...

The Clippers fans didn't call long. After Parker came on the court, the Spurs' lineup became: Tony Parker, Ginobili, Brent Barry, Fabricio Oberto, and Cote Thomas.

In the first two games of the Spurs, Thomas, the old man did not reflect his "dirty Cote" and "Eye of Crazy" on the defensive end. Dunleavy, the old man was worried that the twins had rich experience in the playoffs and had strong low defenses before the start of the playoffs. However, due to age and injuries, the veteran, who is known for his defense, had a strong presence in the first two games and did not pose too much threat to the Clippers.

However, today, Thomas, the old man demonstrated his value on the defensive end. After replacing Argentine center Oboto, the giant pandas won no longer have any chance on the offensive end, especially when using his strong defense at the low post, Ji Guoqiu only relied on bargaining points; and Thomas, in the interior during the bench, made the young Amir Johnson extremely embarrassed!

After Tony Parker reappeared, Thomas, the old man immediately set up a cover on the wing and secretly blocked Brevin Knight who was following the defense with a foul move.

Parker hit the horn position, made a quick jump shot from the middle distance, and the basketball was hollowed out into the net. As soon as the French sports car got on the court, it hit a 14-foot mid-range distance.

"That old guy has committed a foul. You should stare at him. The Spurs are not the only dirty ones!" Old Dunleavy actually didn't see Old Thomas' foul action, but Brevin was blocked. Regardless of whether it was a good ball or not, it's definitely right to shout first!

The Clippers assistant coach whispered next to Dunleavy Older: "San Antonio local media reported that at the end of the last game, three players from the Spurs went to draw water. Their recovery in form may be related to this matter."

Old Dunleavy didn't believe this kind of nonsense and said, "Why didn't they say that the whole team had gone to smoke water? Is there a flood there?"

However, although Old Dunleavy was complaining, all the veterans of the Spurs were injured. Even if they really formed a group to collect water, it was not impossible. Anyway, some of their veterans might retire next season. If you don’t fight hard at this time, when will you fight?
