Although Old Dunleavy doesn't believe that the Spurs are teaming up to pump water, Old Thomas is indeed faster today. He looks very good today. This is indeed the case after pumping water. It can make athletes feel more strong as if they lose weight, but the effect can only last for one or two games, and more water will be generated and become more serious.

But if you think about it carefully, the Spurs only have two away games, and the score is 3:1, and it is worth it to pay only such a little price!

Most of the problems caused by year-round loss. When exercising, the knees will not be able to exert force and feel uncomfortable, making people feel that the player's athletic ability has dropped significantly. In basketball games, if you don't have athletic ability, that's a nonsense!

Most older players will be troubled by this disease, especially after a long season. If you don’t have some water accumulation on your knees, you will either be a character player and don’t play much time; or you will have a physical talent that is extraordinary, such as a gorilla. But even if His Majesty Flying Man was so perverted back then, he had to draw water accumulation before important games in his later years to restore his state.

Today, the movement speed of old Thomas and Bruce Bowen has increased to a certain extent. With the experience of these two people, even if there is a slight increase in speed, the impact on the competitive state will be huge. Many attacks that were not as good as possible in the first two games may be able to defend themselves today.

Parker and Ginobili are both on the court at this moment. Today, Thomas and Oberto, the old man, did the task arranged for them by Vicky before the playoffs. The two of them had fixed-point cover and the pick-and-roll support, which made the Clippers' defense unable to cope with it.

In the two inside Spurs, Thomas and Oberto both have accurate mid-range shooting skills. **Vic originally planned to use their shooting ability to make Parker and Ginobili's breakthrough and pick-and-roll more threatening. They can withdraw the basket to a greater extent and provide support for small players on the periphery after the breakthrough. As long as the defenders can attract the opponent to return to the penalty area to defend, Thomas and Oberto's mid-range shooting will be the opponent's nightmare!

Unfortunately, in the first two games, these two were subject to injuries, which greatly reduced their ability to restrain themselves. Today is the first time they have played out their mid-range shooting advantage.

After the two Spurs' insiders were at a high position, they did not directly hit the basket like ordinary big men, but took a step back. They received a return pass from the defender and jumped one meter inside the three-point line.

Doing so can attract opponents' defenses, pull the basket away, and create more opportunities for the defenders to break through.

If the twin brothers don't come out to make up for defense, the two in the open can easily hit two points. However, once the two brothers make up, the Spurs' breakthrough or one-on-one at the basket will be even more threatening.

The Spurs' tactic is to use an inside line to attract one of the twins to the outside line. Two guards can shoot directly when they break in, or divide the basketball into the basket, allowing Duncan to quickly complete the attack with a one-on-one advantage.

It is now a substitute period, and the Spurs don't need such trouble. They only rely on high pick-and-roll and positioning covers on the offensive end, and rely on strict three-pointers and under the basket on the defensive end. Reduce the number of Clippers' shots and force the Clippers' substitutes to take action at mid-range, and quickly suppress the Clippers' situation.

Just one minute later, Old Dunleavy had to replace the main force in advance.

The score was 22:29, and it seemed that the court was in a stalemate: You punch me, I kick you.

The twin brothers and Billups, and Artest were sent to the court by Old Dunleavy.

On the other hand, **Vic also placed the GDP combination on the court at the same time.

"The old guy is a little faster today, so what? I can still block his catch route. This old guy dares to score more than me, which is simply outrageous!" After Ji Guomeng came on the court, he felt that old Thomas scored 4 points, but he still had 0 points but he didn't open, and he was dull.

The Clippers attacked, Ji Guomeng interspersed along the bottom line, and suddenly a counter-run escaped from old Thomas. He received a pass from his brother and hit a mid-range shot from 18 feet, and finally got two points!

"Tim, go and guard that fox!" **Vicci knew that it was too much of a loss to let old Thomas defend Ji Guohuo. Even if he drew a bucket of water, he could not keep up with the little fox. At this time, he could only make Duncan tired and guard that damn... and the guy who always ran around...

Old Thomas is more suitable for defending Ji Guoqiu. His low-post defense skills are very clever. In terms of low-post defense skills, Old Thomas is not inferior to Duncan, but his physical defects limit his upper limit.

Ji Guoqiu didn't feel that he could catch the ball at a high position, but once he fell to the low position, Old Thomas immediately greeted Panda brother with eighteen martial arts. His movements were no worse than his younger brother, no wonder he called "Dirty Cote"!

In the second quarter, the Spurs played the best offense in the series, with the breakthroughs between Parker and Ginobili, Thomas' restraint, Duncan's low-post attack, and Bowen's bottom corner ambush. The Spurs showed their style when they won the championship last season!

The Clippers are not bright in the West, but the East is bright in the East...

Seeing that it was difficult to do at a low position, Ji Guoqiu simply pulled to the high position to support the team. Unlike Duncan, Old Thomas can not only defend him at a low position, but also limit his support at a high position. Old Thomas can only cause trouble to him at a low position, and he is unable to do so at a high position. This made Ji Guoqiu able to support the team at a high position for the first time in the series. The whole team covered and cooperated around him, running and interspersed, and occasionally he could dribble the ball and break through the basket.

Artest was furious again at this time. Logically speaking, he should be even more threatening with this style of play, but Ji Guoqiu's first goal of passing is always Ji Guohuo. Even if the opportunity is not good, as long as there is a chance to catch the ball, he must first pass the basketball to the Fox brother. At worst, Ji Guohuo will be passed back.

The shameless way of playing with two brothers is a requirement that Ji Guowei All-Stars took the initiative to make after the game. The reason is very simple. The little fox feels that he has too few assists. As long as he has more ball rights, the number of assists will increase. Anyway, basketball is always in the hands of the two brothers, either the brother's assist or the younger brother's assist...

Now the second pass target is no longer Artest, but Billups, so Artest often runs out of the gap, and the basketball still falls at Ji Guomeng's hands. This is very similar to the scene in the All-Star Game. The two brothers poured the basketball over and over, and when the time is approaching, they don't have the chance to throw him a pot...

The score of the first half was 39:45, and the Spurs led by 6 points to end the first half.

The Clippers recovered from the offensive end of the second quarter, but today both sides focused more energy on defense, with poor shooting percentage and not much score. The Clippers failed to pass 40 points in the first half, which is rare.

Ji Guoqiu scored 6 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomiang scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, Billups scored 8 points, 2 assists, Artest scored 7 points and 3 rebounds.

Duncan scored 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Parker scored 10 points, 2 assists, Ginobili scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Finley scored 5 points, Bowen scored 3 points, Cott Thomas scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, and Oberto scored 4 points and 3 rebounds.

During the halftime break, Charles Barkley seemed to have discovered something and looked at the data table and said: "**Vic's team is famous for its long regular season energy. It has been the only team that has won 50+ games in the season in ten years. How to make the main player rest reasonable without affecting the record, and how to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the substitutes, the Spurs are the most skilled in this. Today the Spurs increased their substitute playing time and reduced Duncan's playing time and achieved good results. Old Thomas and Oberto did a lot of work today."

Kenny Smith said: "This is an inevitable result. If the Spurs rely solely on the GDP combination like the previous two games, then these three guys will be exhausted sooner or later. **Vicci must discover the potential of his team, and they still have some potential to tap."

Charles Barkley mentioned Artest at this time, and his big butt was a little confused: "The Clippers planned to attack Artest at the beginning of the game. Although they did not succeed, I think they should not stop trying again next. There is no problem with this tactic. Bruce Bowen's defensive ability has begun to decline this year. Although he entered the second team of defensive team in the regular season, he no longer has the ability to defend 260 pounds of beasts. Artest is one of their strong points. It would be a waste for the Clippers not to use it!"

During the halftime break, Dunleavy knew the problems his team was facing, and the Spurs role players stood up, which was not good news for them.

Ji Guomeng used his steps and speed to frequently hit Duncan in the first two games. Although the effect of the second game was not great, it was because Duncan felt too outrageous. Without his help, Duncan might have to get 40+ in that game.

Today, Ji Guoqiu's assisted defense ability was not exerted. Old Thomas and Oberto performed well. The offensive end restrained most of the Fox's younger brother's defensive end, leaving him without the time to assist Duncan. These two guys also restricted Ji Guoqiu's low-post offense on the defensive end. One of the two brothers had less offense and the other had less assisted defense, which had a great impact on the Clippers.

Billups could have used his breakthrough to help the team, but today the key Mr. Key was targeted by the Spurs' defensive end. Billups shot a few from the outside, but unfortunately his shooting percentage was average and he didn't make much contribution in the first half. The Clippers' offense was in trouble.

Old Dunleavy looked around the locker room and slowly turned his attention to Artest again.

The Beast missed five shots at the beginning, making Old Dunleavy give up the idea of ​​using him as the arrow, but now the two sides have formed a balanced power and are unable to stand up on the court. Someone must stand up in the second half to break the deadlock. Whether Artest can come out to disrupt the situation becomes the key to the outcome.

"Ron, we will continue to use the tactics arranged before the game in the second half, and you try to play in again." Old Dunleavy's tone is a little lacking in confidence now, which was caused by Artest's unreliable opening.

"Okay!" Artes nodded. It felt good to be treated as an arrow, but like old Dunleavy, his poor performance at the beginning made him feel a little bit confident. But no matter what, at least he can get the basketball again, so he won't be able to run around for a long time before he can touch the basketball. Damn twins...
