The starting lineup sent by the Clippers today: Chauncey Billups, James Posey, Ron Artest, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqie.

Jazz starting lineup: Deron Williams, Kyle Korver, Andre Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, Memit Oku.

After the two teams came off the bench, Dunleavy looked at the Jazz's starting lineup and secretly guessed what Sloan was going to do today?

"Is this lineup going to bet on three points?"

Old Dunleavy guessed that Sloan put up a set of outside lineup today, just to throw the Clippers to death from the outside, to see if the Clippers players dare to shrink inward today?

From the first game in the Western Conference semi-finals, the two teams began to compete with wits and courage. The Clippers used a targeted contraction defensive strategy to suppress Boozer's offense at the basket and the threat of Deron Williams' breakthrough. So in the third game, Sloan took action to deal with it and prepared to increase firepower outside the three-point line to make the Clippers pay the price. However, the Jazz's moves were forced to reliably rely on three-pointers in the playoffs. It was not the style of the champion team in history. It was a dangerous gambling.

"Just with your three-point shooting percentage that is not decent at all, you still want to kill us with three-pointers at Staples Stadium?" Old Dunleavy suddenly laughed when he saw the formation that Sloan was posing. He didn't think that Sloan's change of formation was a smart decision, and he might die faster.

The Clippers did not change at the defensive end in the first quarter. As usual, they used shrinking defense to deal with the Jazz. If the opponent's three-point line outside shots are accurate, then expand some appropriately; if they are not accurate like the previous two games, everyone knows that. The victory in this game will still allow the Clippers to win.

The Jazz still used the tactic of breaking in today. However, Deron Williams' breakthrough today and Boozer's strong play in the inside are all a cover. They were ambushed by Kyle Korver, Memit Oku, and Andre Kirirenko, who were lying on the outside, were the real killer moves! After Deron Williams made a basketball pass, he would also move quickly outside the three-point line. The Jazz was equivalent to four players who could shoot three-pointers on the outside.

In the first quarter, the Jazz's tactics were obviously successful. They made 5 three-pointers with 7 shots in the first quarter, and Boozer also recovered in the inside. The Jazz led the Clippers by 5 points at the end of the first quarter.

The score was 26:21. The Clippers' touch in the first quarter was particularly bad. They only made one of five three-pointers, and they relied on the two brothers to hit the basket in turn to get points. Billups, James Percy, and Artest, three starters did not hit a three-pointer, but only relied on Tim Thomas, who came on the bench, made a three-pointer.

The reason why the Clippers felt bad in the first quarter was naturally unknown to the live broadcast commentators and media from all over the world, but the old Dunleavy and the Clippers players knew why. Apart from the mobilization of the bastard Sterling before the game, there was no other reason!

I don’t know if this damn old bastard is an undercover agent, but what makes Clippers players and fans even more angry is that when Grandet saw that the team was in a good situation, he didn’t even release half-pack of throat soggies before the game. This bastard is almost eighty years old, why haven’t he died?

"We don't have to be too nervous. Everyone knows that a team that relies on three-pointers cannot have an excellent feel throughout the game. In the first half, we focus on defense and expand the defense line." Old Dunleavy saw that it was not good and decisively asked the team to expand the defense line outward: "This is our home court, you can use tough defensive actions to affect their shooting feel. Remember, we defend in the first half, and when their physical strength drops in the second half, it is time for us to counterattack."

After the first quarter, Dunleavy adjusted his game strategy. Seeing that his players were feeling average, he immediately changed the first half to defense.

Clippers players have taken the orders one after another. They know that teams that rely on outside shooting are the most likely teams to be reversed. Even if they lead by 20 points, once the feel becomes worse, it only takes one quarter to recover the lagging gap.

However, in the second quarter, the Jazz players continued their good feel in the first quarter, and their hotness was constantly heating up.

The Clippers played a three-and-two joint defense in the second quarter. It is said that the Jazz should put the focus of the offensive back to the inside at this time, but they did not do so. The excellent feel made Jazz players prefer to force their moves from the outside. As long as they can make a shot, they do not intend to change their offensive style.

The three-pointer rain in Staples' are still falling. The Jazz shot 9 three-pointers from outside the three-point line in the second quarter, hitting 7 of them. This means that the Jazz made a total of 16 three-pointers in the first half and actually hit 12. The Jazz players' three-point shooting percentage today is amazing.

The score was 60:45, and the Clippers were 15 points behind in the first half under the Jazz's precise attack.

The Jazz's terrifying three-pointer hit cannot be defended at all. Any team encounters it will be a result, unless they have a three-pointer, and now they are only 15 points behind, which is considered to be an excellent defense of the Clippers.

Old Dunleavy changed the team's tactics in the middle of the second quarter. Since the opponent was favored by the goddess of luck, they couldn't hold on and simply attacked the opponent. Unfortunately, the Clippers' own touch was exactly the opposite of the Jazz. They made 10 shots outside the three-point line in the first half and only hit 3 goals. If the twin brothers had not continued to control the rebound, the Clippers might have been 20 points behind in the first half.

Ji Guochou scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half, Ji Guomo had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, Billups had 5 points and 3 assists, Artest had 5 points and Mobley had 8 points.

Deron Williams scored 15 points and 5 assists, Boozer scored 8 points and 5 rebounds, Oku scored 10 points and 3 rebounds, Kirilianko scored 10 points, and Kylekovo 9 points.

During the intermission, Sloan was interviewed as the coach of the leading team. The Jazz coach said: "We spent a lot of energy on how to deal with the Clippers' inside in the first two games. They gave us a lot of opportunities to go out on the outside, and it seems that we cannot take advantage of these scoring opportunities. Today we must seize these gaps and let them suffer the consequences at their home court."

In the home locker room, Dunleavy shouted to the players: "Do you know what rebirth is? The Jazz is rebirth now, and they swallowed the aphrodisiac. This allowed them to overdraw their energy in the first half to lead us fifteen points. But boys. We must know that the aphrodisiac that the Jazz swallowed will not last for the entire game. As long as we are not defeated by them, they will definitely be destroyed by the side effects of the aphrodisiac they swallowed in the second half!"

Old Dunleavy's voice was firm, and this tone restored some fighting spirit to the Clippers players.

Ji Guomeng said with a lewd smile: "I understand what the coach means. The Jazz is like eating Viagra now. At most, they can only harden the first half. In the second half, they will become softer than before. They will become softer than before."

The Clippers players laughed, and NBA players like to hear such dirty jokes. Many people in the upper class think that their quality is low. Of course, people with this idea will not be of much higher quality.

After the half-time game, the Clippers fans' momentum in the second half of the game decreased. In this regard, the Clippers fans are indeed inferior to Utah fans. The atmosphere in the Energy Center Stadium will not be until the last quarter, and the Jazz's general situation is irreversible.

The morale of the Clippers fans is a little low, but the Clippers players are very motivated.

The second half of the game changed suddenly, starting from the third quarter. The Jazz pitchers seemed to be blinded by flashes, and made only 1 of 3-pointers in a single quarter. This also became the turning point of the game, and the Jazz have never recovered from then on.

Ji Guomomoto broke out in the outside line in this quarter, and made 4 three-pointers in a single quarter. Both Boozer and Oku had no choice but to the explosion of the little fox.

After the third quarter, the score was 74:74. The Clippers only took one quarter to recover the score difference of 15 points, which was even more powerful than the explosion of their last game. The Jazz seemed to be stunned in this quarter.

The situation took a sharp turn, with Staples' center trembling, and the Clippers' momentum, and the Jazz players were dejected one by one.

Being moved back to 15 points in one quarter, this blow made it difficult for Jazz players who were already behind 0:2. The excellent feel of the Jazz players in the first half made them think they would win a goal at the opponent's home court today, but now it seems that their previous thoughts are like a bubble.

Coach Sloan kept encouraging his players after the third quarter, hoping to inspire the morale and fighting spirit of the Jazz players. However, in such a situation, even if he could speak a lotus, it would not be of much help to the Jazz players' depressed will, especially in the cheers of the Clippers' home fans. Although the score in front of him was a draw, the Jazz players seemed to have seen the result of the game's defeat.

There is another scene in front of the Clippers' bench. Players do not feel tired at all when they are on the wind. People will ignore the effect of fatigue when they are excited. In turn, players in the headwind will feel their endurance being accelerated. Look at the Jazz players breathing violently there, and you will know the degree of this acceleration.

"Well done, the situation has turned to our direction now. Little fox, tell me what should I say now?" Old Dunleavy asked Ji Guomeng.

Ji Guomeng thought about it after hearing this and shouted loudly: "We are the champion team. The champion team will not give the opponent a chance to breathe, so go up and kill them directly!"

Old Dunleavy smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Fox is right, let's kill them in one go!"

In the fourth quarter, the twin brothers and most of the main players sat off the court. In the third quarter, they almost played a whole quarter in order to tie the score or even overtake the score. The same is true for the Jazz players on the opposite side, so Dunleavy was preparing to let the main players rest for a few minutes in the fourth quarter. The Jazz on the opposite side thought that they would not return to the court faster than them. In terms of physical fitness, the Clippers with twin brothers undoubtedly had stronger endurance than the Jazz.

Slombard did not have the main Clippers' main players rest for a while off the court, so that the main players of the Jazz can get enough rest time.

The second echelon of the Clippers once again played the role of stealing the head. After Lao Mao Mobley came on the court, he played his little spirit fast characteristics. In terms of ball control, Lao Mao was not inferior to the average No. 1 player. Facing the Jazz substitute with a little depressed will, Lao Mao's performance in these three games was much better than the previous series against the Spurs.

The Jazz's main defense is indeed good, but the substitute is much worse than the Clippers. Old Cats' singles can cause fatal damage to the Jazz, including the big brush Thomas' damage to the Jazz is also not light.

At 8 minutes and 20 seconds in the fourth quarter, Dunleavy replaced his main inside first. The twins had already been fully energetic after ten minutes of rest. Their abundant physical fitness allowed the Clippers to benefit greatly in the playoffs. Few insiders could play for 40 minutes like them and were full of energy.

The score was 82:78, and the Clippers' substitute had surpassed the score by 4 points.

Ji Guoqiu scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, Ji Guomiang scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, Billups scored 7 points, 5 assists, Mobri scored 15 points, and Artest scored 9 points.
