Chapter three hundred and seventy nine menacing
ps: Second update, tickets!
The score of the first quarter was 22:25. The Spurs did not score in the near half of the quarter at the beginning, but from the middle of the first quarter, their shooting percentage was amazing, or their two inside shots were so high. Duncan and Jamison scored 18 points of the team's 25 points in the first quarter. The Clippers' strongest inside line was beaten by the Spurs today!
"Damn it, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. Is there any problem with saying that?" Ji Guohuo was replaced by old Dunleavy in the last two minutes of the first quarter. At this moment, the two brothers were sitting together, and the dead fox was forcibly comforting himself.
"Well, what you said makes sense. The first quarter should be an accident." The giant pandas only persisted for half a quarter today and were beaten by Duncan. This is very similar to last season's playoffs. After he got 20+20+20, he felt that he would not be able to meet these superstars again, but he did not expect that he would be beaten up when he met Duncan again.
"It seems that cheating is not possible. Half of our data is obtained through telepathy bonuses. If we remove this factor, we may just be a quasi-All-Star player."
Ji Guoqiu's words made the fox brother feel even more unhappy. He said in his heart: "I never believe that we can't beat those old men. We must have been careless just now. We will go up and kill them with telepathy." After the dead fox said that, he was speechless and added for a long time. "Why do you think so much? Since we have telepathy, we are fools who don't need it. If we bully them without cheating, what can we do?"
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two brothers were replaced by the old Dunleavy, their substitute center, Jordan Jr. He got two fouls in less than two minutes in the first quarter. Old Dunleavy dared not use him again in this game. Once the foul is made, the Spurs' inside line will be on the free throw line, completely giving away points.
**Vic was replaced in the bench inside in the second quarter, and the combination of Matt Bonner and Thomas Old is also pitiful. The Spurs' substitute inside this year is worse than last year, and Duncan is one year older, and his playing time is reduced by **Vic. Jamison, who is relatively young, is actually 32 years old. He averaged 38 minutes per game with the Wizards last season. However, after coming to the Spurs, **Vic only allowed him to play 36 minutes per game. I have to say that although this old man likes to squirt, any player who comes to his hands will have a longer peak period and career than in other teams.
After Ji Guomeng came on the court, he first ran out of time to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, and then used a half-baked hook to his national teammate Matt Bonner in the interior and scored two points again.
**Vicci was a little unstoppable now, but fortunately their French sports car started to start in the second quarter and scored in the inside line continuously.
This season, Tony Parker ushered in the peak season of his career. His finishing ability at the basket is even more terrifying than last season. He just made two layups in a row. For the first time, Ji Guoqiu couldn't find where the basketball was hidden by the French. The second time the Fox brother's block turned into a disturbing ball, giving Parker two points for free.
Jeff Van Gundy was responsible for commenting on the game. When he saw the Frenchman's performance, he praised it repeatedly: "Tony Parker has three championship titles, or MVP in the 2007 Finals. I don't think anyone can make layups faster than him. His agility is just a superficial look. Looking for loopholes in the defensive moments, and a clever and light cut are the biggest highlights. His shooting methods include high throws, running shots, and runners (just riding and archery), which are rare scoring controls."
Ji Guomeng scored 12 points in the second quarter, but Parker on the opposite side contributed 10 points in a single quarter. In addition, the two Spurs continued to force the two brothers in the second quarter, and the Clippers were already 10 points behind the Spurs at the end of the half-time game.
The score is 40:50. The Clippers' strongest inside line is restricted by the Spurs, which makes it impossible to play on the outside line. **Vic's defensive system will not give players like Crawford a chance to draw. The Clippers seem to be restrained by the Spurs this season, and this is still the case when Ginobili is injured.
Ji Guochou only scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first half. Of course, this performance is not good. Last season, he and the Foxes teamed up with the Stone Buddha, but now Ji Guomo is not able to deal with Antoine on the defensive end. Jamison is already a little overwhelmed, let alone help him double-team Duncan. In a one-on-one situation, Ji Guochou still can't beat Duncan now, and his skills and experience are completely at a disadvantage.
Ji Guomeng scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in the first half. Although he could not defend against Antoine Jamison, who had comprehensive offensive methods, the latter could not keep up with his flexible footsteps. This is the high point of attack power, at least not losing money. The two of them exploded each other!
Duncan scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Jamison scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, Parker scored 14 points and 3 assists, and Roger Mason scored 6 points.
Ji Guoqiu had 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Ji Guomi had 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups had 10 points, 2 assists, and Crawford had 5 points.
In the first half, the two teams competed in the inside. The new inside combination of Animal Brothers and Spurs opened fire with all their fire, and eventually ended with the Clippers Brothers losing the inside.
In the third quarter, Dunleavy, who saw that the inside was not at a disadvantage, began to change his strategy and focus on the outside. So Billups fought another speed battle with Parker. This time the former quickly gained the upper hand. The key man first made a three-pointer and caused Parker to foul and made all three free throws. Then he used the speed to attack continuously and scored 7 points at the beginning. The Clippers unknowingly rewrite the score to 47:52, and the score difference was narrowed to 5 points.
**Vic called for a timeout. Although Ginobili's absence due to injury reduced the Spurs' ability to break through the outside, the strong insider gave **Vic a lot of weights to use. Since the point guard's competition was temporarily at a disadvantage, the Spurs naturally attacked the inside again.
Ji Guochou was still unable to do his job in the second half of the fight against Duncan. Shi Fo played singles in the low post in a row and soon deceived Ji Guochou for a third foul in the inside. Now the giant Pandas dare not be too big, and Duncan's offense became even more difficult to stop.
Duncan scored 8 points again in the third quarter, Jamison also scored 5 points while the Spurs continued to suppress the Clippers Twins' inside in the third quarter.
The good news for the Clippers is that their outside line has the upper hand in the third quarter. Old Dunleavy saw the Spurs dominate the inside line. He was not stupid either. Then the Clippers simply took the lead in the outside line and worked hard from the backcourt to see who on both sides scored faster?
The two brothers took on more team defense and support tasks in the third quarter. Billups and Crawford frequently fired guns from the outside under the cover of the two brothers without the ball, which made **Vic's roar start to occur again. Every mistake in the Spurs would make him angry!
The 20,000 Clippers fans in Staples Arena did not stop shouting in the second half. They hoped to use their cheers to get a morale bonus for the home team. This is also very important to the Clippers.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 66:72. The Clippers relied on the outstanding performance of the backcourt players in the third quarter, especially Billups' outbreak to win back 4 points, and the two teams maintained a 6-point difference to enter the last quarter.
After the opening of the final quarter, Spurs veteran Finley used the inside cover to hit mid-range jump shots continuously. The Spurs, an average 35-year-old substitute lineup, quickly expanded the gap to 10 points before the Clippers reacted, in less than two minutes. The Clippers' efforts in the third quarter were gone.
"Damn, they used this move last season. Unexpectedly, they got hit again." Old Dunleavy secretly beat his chest on the sidelines. It's not that he made too poor arrangements on the spot. It's because the Clippers' substitutes have too many young players, fake starters Avraro, Amir Johnson and Jordan Jr. are both young, and even Dragic is not old. The Clippers' lineup with an average age of 21 is 14 years younger than the Spurs. It's helpless to ask them to face such a group of old monsters and be fooled by others. Perhaps this is the so-called mutual generation and restraint. The Spurs' lineup this season is very restrained by both the main players and the substitutes. Old Dunleavy now feels that it's best not to meet them in the playoffs, and there's no advantage for the Clippers.
Ji Guoqiu frowned on the court. He was defeated by Duncan in the third quarter. Today he was a little stunned. Even he himself didn't think Duncan could teach him so badly. But today he was a little careless and was beaten by Duncan with a combo and couldn't come back to his senses until now.
"It doesn't matter. There are still ten minutes left in the game. We are only 10 points behind and we can catch up." Old Dunleavy called a timeout, cheering the players first, then setting up the next tactics, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you remember how we killed them last season? That's right, last season's playoffs, we used the pick-and-roll down, plus the back row to get rid of these slow-moving old guys."
Ji Guomo smiled and said, "That's right, we swept them like this last season, and now we can do it."
The Clippers players were inspired by their coaches and core, and their morale did not decline. Even the new players were thinking at this moment, "Our new team is the defending champion. Last season, the Spurs were the eighth-matched Spurs and this season is also the leader of the Western Conference. As long as you are serious, you can turn defeat into victory in the last quarter."
If they think so, it would be a big mistake.
After the game started again, **Vic saw the Clippers' arrangement and immediately laughed.
"This group of fools, this season, is not Matt Bonner's idiot, but Antoine Jamison with excellent physical fitness. Even though he is 32 years old, his footsteps are not slow in this position. It is of course difficult to run with the little fox all over the field, but it is absolutely fine to defend the penalty area. This move is no longer useful!"
Just as **Vicci expected, **Vicci had already made special arrangements for the Clippers' move. The Panda brother's down and the little fox's back row were inserted, and they all hit the iron walls prepared by the Spurs. Duncan and Jamison teamed up to block the Clippers' shock wave.
After the Clippers' timeout, the Clippers' offense failed to make extra mistakes. In less than half of the fourth quarter, Clippers fans were helplessly aware that they were already 16 points behind the Spurs.
In the fourth quarter, 7 minutes and 30 seconds, the score was 68:84. The Spurs succeeded in using their opponent's mistakes, and the Clippers' counterattack completely failed. There was no big suspense at this game.
The Clippers' counterattack was slapped back by the Spurs. The morale of the whole team was depressed. Old Dunleavy was desperate and had no choice. He called a timeout and canceled the previous arrangement and resumed his regular play style, hoping to rely on three-pointers to make the last try. If they didn't do this, they wouldn't have enough time to chase slowly.
**Vic was called "Zhuge Go" at home and abroad. How could he not have expected the arrangement of the Clippers? After the game started again, he played a three-and-two joint defense and set up a defensive formation against the Clippers' three-pointers. At this time, those who know the ball knew that the Clippers were in great danger today. They wanted to turn the Spurs over when they were 16 points behind in the last quarter. This task was definitely five-star difficulty.
But no matter how difficult it is, the Clippers have to give it a try!
After Ji Guomeng came on the court, he used his teammates to cover the screen to find room for attack, but without Artest, the Clippers' off-ball screening quality at critical moments was not as good as last season. This time, Ji Guomeng did not completely get rid of his opponent. He was disturbed by Jamison when he made a three-pointer, and the basketball was swept the basket.
"My!" Ji Guoqiu used a foul action to push Duncan away from the basket and got the rebound.
The referee did not call a foul, and this goal was the naked home whistle.
Ji Guoqiu did not hear the whistle, and immediately jumped back and poured the basketball into the basket with both hands!
The Clippers fans in Staples Arena shouted in unison, "panda, panda!"
Emma Roberts also shouted on the sidelines: "Giant Panda, you are the best!"
Ji Guochou smiled at her. He was very depressed in the fight today, but Little Radish Shredded has been supporting him on the sidelines, which has cured Ji Guochou's depression a lot.
However, he didn't know that Christine was also watching the game at home. When he saw Ji Guoqiu grab the frontcourt rebound and go to the dunk, he couldn't help but say "Unfaithful man!"
Ji Guoqiu's slam dunk was just an accident. Duncan did not give him such a chance to perform like this next time. The Spurs used the joint defense and did not let the Clippers' three-pointer come out. Although Ji Guomeng, Crawford and Billups both made three-pointers in the final stage, the Spurs' steady defense and offense still withstood the Clippers' crazy counterattack before the end of the game.
The final score was 92:98. The Clippers' counterattack intensity was strong enough to catch the 16-point difference to 6 points. However, the Spurs were extremely steady and firmly defended the lead difference of the last 6 points, and finally ended the Clippers' losing streak away and kicked the small-breaking boat to the second place in the West.
Chapter completed!
