The Clippers rely on their winning rules to win another victory in New York. Next, they will compete with the 28th, the victim of this season, St. Anthony Spurs. This time, the Clippers are not ready to gain another defeat. If they are killed four times in a season, the playoff encounter will definitely be affected. The most important thing is the passiveness in mentality. If the Spurs kill the Clippers four times, they will definitely have the upper hand. When two teams with close levels meet, mentality is also a very important factor in determining the outcome.

However, the news that is unfavorable to the Clippers is that they are away from home, and they have all lost both home games. The remaining fourth game is played away. The odds of winning before the game of the Clippers are extremely low. Obviously, no one is optimistic that the Clippers can defeat the experienced Spurs.

The Spurs did not win the championship last year and were even given a black eight. Such a playoff journey is really unexpected. In recent years, the Spurs have been frequent visitors in the Western Conference Finals, and it is not difficult to win the championship. However, if you think about it carefully, everything is reasonable. This is the consequence of **Vic's self-satisfaction in recent years. In recent years, the Spurs have not introduced powerful foreign players, but their troikas are getting older and older. Duncan and Ginobili are also affected by injuries. Even if they are not blackened by the Clippers, they will be saddened by the Jazz and the Lakers in the next round.

The so-called learning from change, change will lead to enlightenment, and harmony will lead to enlightenment. As **Vic said, "The current league is no longer the world of yesterday. We could have spent a small amount of money to do big things. But today if we want to win the championship, we have to spend a lot of money." It can be seen that the Spurs coach has realized the necessity of blood exchange, and the Spurs management is not blind. They need to gamble before Duncan's declining, so there is an unprecedented large-scale recruitment in this offseason.

The Spurs exchanged for Jamison last summer, even though the price they paid was Bruce Bowen.

Speaking of Uncle Bao San, the former best defensive player has served as a tnt commentator and has been commenting on the Spurs' games. Bowen, who was a player of the player era, can be said to be a marginal player in data. He averaged only 6 points per game in his career, but the Spurs made the decision to retire Bowen's jersey this season, which fell below the glasses of the entire league.

On the evening of March 28th local time, that is, after the game with the Clippers, Bruce Bowen's No. 12 jersey will rise and hang forever on the cemetery of the At&T Center, along with David Robinson, George Gervin, James Hillas, Johnny Moore, Avery Johnson and Sean Elliott jerseys for future generations to admire.

After learning the news, Bruce Bowen exposed the rehearsal ceremony of his jersey retirement on his Twitter in advance, with a heartfelt statement: "What a great honor!" It is hard to imagine that Bruce Bowen was just an undrafted player before San Antonio became a household name. He had to make a living in the French League and the American minor league. He went to four teams before joining the Spurs.

Ginobili first met Bowen in the fall of 2002, in the Spurs training camp. At that time, the Argentinian had already achieved glory in Europe and was preparing to prove his strength in the NBA field; and at that time, Bruce Bowen was 31 years old and played for the Spurs for his second season. In the first team practice game, Bowen was assigned by Vicky to mark Ginobili.

"At that time, I thought he was a lunatic, a nasty demon." At the press conference of Ginobili, he recalled the scene when he first met Bowen, saying: "His defensive movements were very rude, as if he was saying to me 'Boy, welcome to the NBA!'" That training match was Ginobili's first injury in the NBA. Bowen gave Manu a big gift when he met for the first time, which made the Demon Knife realize the difference between the NBA and the European League.

Bruce Bowen pointed to the place where the jersey was about to be hung on the dome of the arena and said to the media: "I think my story tells people how to be a good character player. That place still leaves a place for character players. This is an unexpected gain in my life. I also want to see what will happen in the future."

In the 2001-02 season, Bowen came to the Spurs to report. He had previously entered the second team of the best defensive team in Miami, but he needed to find a team that really needed himself and appreciated himself. Joining the Spurs was a perfect match. **Vic said: "Bowen sets the tone for our team." The wise head coach of the Spurs once called Bowen "the team's third soul" - the soul of fighting.

After joining the Spurs, Bowen averaged 6.1 points per game. Although he didn't score much, since 2004, Bowen has been one of the league's best defensive teams for four consecutive years - he has become the strongest shield on the Spurs' forward line.

The most brilliant moment of Bowen's career, perhaps in the 2007 Finals, in the four-game sweep of the Cavaliers, Bruce Bowen limits LeBron James' shooting percentage to only 35 of 101 shots. When asked about Bowen's contribution to the Spurs' three championships, Duncan gave the highest review of all time, "He is irreplaceable."

When the Clippers came to San Antonio, Ji Guomeng would certainly not say anything inappropriate in such occasions, but he said: "Did James only make 35 shots in 101 in 2007?" As soon as the Dead Fox said, the Cleveland media wanted to go up and give him two slaps. This bastard is so worthy of a beating, as if anyone is not black every day will feel uncomfortable.

Of course, Ji Guochou didn't deserve that beating. When he commented on Bao Wen, he said: "The main force of the team three times, one defense team four times, one defense team three times, one three-pointer, only paying less than the middle class, and also actively requesting a salary reduction for the team to sign new players, and finally chose to retire early. What else can you say for such a player?"

San Antonio fans suddenly felt that the giant pandas were pleasing to the eye and felt more and more that Bowen was great. Although this is not the case for other teams, except for the Spurs, probably all teams hope that this old guy will retire soon.

Old Dunleavy was very disliked by **Vic. When was the bad retirement ceremony? He had to choose a game day with the Clippers. Isn't this intention to use them to sacrifice the flag?

The Spurs players united in this game, and they didn't want to mess up Bowen's retirement ceremony. Although Uncle San was deeply disliked by other teams, he was highly respected by players and fans in the Spurs and San Antonio.

Ji Guoqiu said at the pre-match press conference that there are very few players in the league who are really good for the team like Uncle San. Bowen's role in the Spurs is no worse than that of Big Ben and the Pistons, but his salary is several times less than that of Ben Wallace, so he takes the initiative to cut his salary. Where can I find such a player? If you look at this year's anti-bone boy has made the Jazz turmoil and has been hovering on the edge of the playoffs, you will find that Uncle San is not like a bad guy who has emerged from capitalism.

Dunleavy, the old man was most worried that the Spurs would beat them to death as soon as they came up. Today, the Spurs players had an unprecedented impact for Uncle Bao San's retirement ceremony, so the Clippers sent a defensive formation - Billups, Garcia, Barnes, Ji Guomo and Ji Guochou. Dunleavy was originally planning to replace Deng Tai Jones, but he gave up after thinking about it. He still had to give up this face.

Before the start of the game of Guoxiong, Ji unexpectedly did not go to the technical table to make somersaults, but came to his own inside line, jumped gently to grab the basket, and did three pull-ups in a row.

Charles Barkley laughed: "Look, Brother Fox made a new trick in the pre-match ceremony today. He didn't go to somersaults, but actually pulled the frame and did a few pull-ups."

Kenny Smith also smiled and said, "I think it's good. When he was somersaulting from the technical stand, I was worried that he would fall head down. Now this move is much safer."

After the game started, I wonder if Ji Guomomoto pulled his own basket in a slight way. The Spurs hit all the first three shots on the basket and bounced out, but the Clippers made 3 of 3 shots and scored 7:0 at the beginning.

**Vicci was furious and immediately called a timeout. In the scene of commenting on Bruce Bowen's gloating, all members of the Spurs were squirted by **Vicci, and even Duncan was not spared. In this game, **Vicci would never allow the "Shipwreck Day" he chose with viciousness to be destroyed. If Bruce Bowen's retirement ceremony cannot be won, not only will the third uncle be dull, but his face will be even more unhappy.

After the game restarted, Duncan singled Ji Guoqiu at the basket, and his signature hook-up scored two points for the Spurs. When did the Spurs be the most reliable one?

The Clippers' offensive and defensive conversion speed is extremely fast today. Old Dunleavy thinks that they are not opponents of the Spurs this season, and losing three games in a row is proof of it. GDP plus Jamison, that is, the GDPJ combination has too rich experience and are all stars of the ball merchant explosion. It is basically impossible to expect the two brothers to kill the Spurs in the positional battle in the second season. Don't forget that Duncan is also the top ten superstars in the Hall of Fame. It is still unclear whether the two brothers can surpass him in the future, and it is even more impossible to gain the upper hand now.

Ji Guochou has a very positive attitude today. He does not seek to gain an advantage against Duncan, but only wants to show his own characteristics, such as his support, assisted defense and stronger impact.

The Clippers are playing 23 joint defense today, and it is rare to shrink their troops into the inside line. Is this going to see if the Spurs are accurate on the outside line first? Once their joint defense fails, they simply hit and target people, but they require assisted defense and double-teaming to be faster, so they double-team the inside line if they have the chance.
