In the first match of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs finally won. This result is not unexpected. The Spurs have the ability to win.
The Spurs rarely get defeated by an attack wave at a certain period of time like the Rockets. This season they are terrible. Even if they are at a disadvantage in the whole game, they cannot relax their vigilance until the last moment of the game. Because Parker, Ginobili, Jamison and Duncan have the ability to score continuously, they can also make an attack wave at any time, thus defeating their opponents in one fell swoop.
In this way, the Clippers were taken away by the Spurs in the third quarter. They were killed by their opponents in the way they were best at. Ji Guoxi's stubbornness after the game could only make a large number of neutral fans smile and see when the dead fox can stubbornness.
Since the Spurs lost the playoffs last year, they were able to finally hit the Clippers with the Black Ba. Such a refreshing away victory made the Spurs' morale high, which would make the Spurs' team more motivated, which would mean to win another game to sweep the Clippers.
**Vic said after the game: "We won the away game, which is equivalent to regaining the initiative for us. We don't want to return such an advantage to them. We have experienced such a thing before."
The Spurs head coach believes that Ginobili's appearance with an injury has brought great help to the Spurs, and the team's substitute also played a key role in the second half of the game. These are inseparable from Ginobili.
Ginobili's entire game data is average, but he only played 24 minutes in this game. With such data, it is already very efficient. Don't forget that his ankles have not healed. He was forced to play with injuries in the playoffs. Until the end of the game, his ankles were still very sore.
Now, the only bad news for the Spurs is that Duncan was hit in the knee when facing Brother Panda's breakthrough in the fourth quarter. However, after a little treatment from the field, Shifo quickly returned to the court, but his performance was much worse than before. Spurs fans were worried that Duncan's knee injury would affect his second game.
Clippers coach Dunleavy said after the game: "The Spurs sent a small lineup in the fourth quarter, maybe to learn from the Rockets, but I think it is not a problem for them to play in big or small lineups. What's important is that their role players perform very well in this game. They have done a great job in our outside defense. Ginobili and Parker's performance at critical moments ruined our plan, and we will adjust in the next game."
Although he lost this game, the confidence of the Clippers players was not affected, especially Ji Guoqiu. He finally did not lose the upper hand against Duncan today. The loss was more because the third and fourth quarters suddenly fell silent, which could only be attributed to bad luck.
Ji Guochou said: "I don't know what the problem occurred in the first game, but in general, the Spurs and our games are difficult to solve. There is nothing to panic about. If we win the first game, we need to keep that momentum. Now that we lose, everyone needs to make some corresponding adjustments and play harder in the second game."
In the Western Conference Finals, the Clippers encountered a wave of opponents in the first game and were taken away, which left the Clippers' second home court without any retreat. They had to win the second game in order to give themselves more hope of advancing to the second round.
On May 21, the Los Angeles Times gave advice to the Clippers. They believed that the Pandas and the Foxes performed well in the first game, but they lacked enough help. Billups was in poor form and the Clippers needed more players to stand up and score.
Especially their benches, Avraro, Garcia, Barnes, Dragic and others need to play better, and Crawford must also improve his problem of being prone to waste opportunities when fighting tough battles. He must seize open shots and reduce wave shots.
As the team leader, the Animal Brothers fulfilled their responsibilities in the first game. Ji Guoqiu performed very hard, but their opponents were not a team that only two people could win. The Spurs were also a f4 combination, and the Spurs' f4 performed well in the first game.
Another problem with the Clippers is defense. They gave the Spurs 105 points. In the regular season, the Clippers averaged only 92 points per game. In the playoffs that emphasize defense more, they actually scored 105 points by the Spurs, which naturally became a key to the team's defeat.
Tomorrow's second home court, the Clippers' defense needs to perform better, and the Spurs' scoring must be limited to less than 100.
Next is Billups' problem. Parker is amazing this year, so if Mr. Key is at a disadvantage, it is not embarrassing, but rather a normal result.
But if you lose to Parker like in the first game, that's not what you should do.
The showdown between the point guards of both sides, according to Billups' speed, can completely interfere with Parker, and there should be no need for the inside to make more backup defense for him.
But yesterday, Billups was unable to effectively curb Parker's breakthrough. Although the Clippers' overall defense against Parker was still successful, they effectively lowered Parker's number of shots at the basket and forced the Frenchman to run and shoot outside the penalty area to end the attack, but this allowed the two brothers to split more energy on Parker, which led to Jamison and Ginobili getting more opportunities.
As the saying goes, one moves the whole body, it is understandable that the two brothers properly defend the outside, but they always make the inside pay for the outside, so it is difficult for the Clippers to defeat the Spurs, which have a balanced strength in the inside and outside.
Billups needs to use his experience to deal with his opponents, and in the offense, he also needs to bring greater help to the team.
It can be imagined that Parker will definitely play more aggressively tomorrow. With the current situation of the Spurs, if the Clippers want to defeat this strong enemy, all core players must play. Don’t think that you have already entered the league alone. The Spurs, Cavaliers, and Celtics are no worse than the Clippers.
Speaking of the Cavaliers, No. 21. The first match of the Eastern Conference finals also started, with the Celtics vs. the Cavaliers.
The Celtics are the old opponent of the little emperor. In the last Eastern Conference Finals, the three giants joined forces to teach the gorillas a lesson. This time the gorillas received the help of the captain, and the three giants were one year older. What will happen?
Originally, the one who entered the Eastern Conference Finals this season should be His Majesty Superman. Howard also shocked the rebound timer in the game, recreating some of the scene of O'Neal dunking and breaking the rebound. Although it was not as violent as the Sharks.
However, this season, the Wolf King is alive, and the three giants work together to suppress the Warcraft fighting alone. The Celtics entered the Eastern Conference Finals again.
The Celtics' goal is of course the finals. It may be the last time that the three giants want to take advantage of the last year that they can still impress and strive for the championship again.
That's right. In fact, all fans know that the three Celtics have only the last chance this year. They will decline again next year, and there will be no chance to compete for the championship at that time.
In this game, the scene was even more popular than the Spurs and Clippers. Garnett dunked James with his hands and pressed him down fiercely. This was an action that was enough to get a malicious foul, although the referee only judged a technical foul.
Neither the Cavaliers nor James were intimidated by Garnett's dismissal. This was Quick Loan Stadium, Cleveland's home court. They were fearless.
Besides, even if you are not at home, it is impossible to scare players like James or Kobe with evil devils. Just like Garnett himself will not be timid, every superstar has a heart to move forward.
After the game continued, West and Brand made shots one after another, Mo Xiao scored two plus one, James used his breakthrough to lead the team to a 10-2 wave. The Cavaliers won a double-digit advantage with 8 minutes and 30 seconds left in this quarter.
The Cavaliers have expanded their advantage to 14 points. After James' continuous assists, he played several times. Now his control over the game has exceeded the previous two seasons. He knows when to attack and when to pass the ball. The Cavaliers' start is well-founded under his control and ends the first quarter with 33-20.
James made a three-pointer in the first quarter, plus several free throws and breakthroughs, and one man scored 10 points, another 3 assists and 3 rebounds, and his performance was extremely versatile.
Even if he is the most versatile star in the league, no one has any objections. Although Panda Brother is also very versatile, he is still a little immature. If he wants to compete with James, Ji Guoqiu will need two seasons of training.
In the second quarter, James' offensive became stronger. After only two minutes of rest, the young emperor was put on the battlefield again. He dunked Al Thorton when he touched the ball for the first time, and dunked the Celtics' sixth man directly off the field.
Al Thorton was stunned by James' thunder fury, and then he actually threw two consecutive three-way shots, which made a funny sound effect sound on the Speed Loan Stadium. The fans of the audience laughed wildly and ridiculed this unlucky guy.
With the performance of James' god descending to earth, the Cavaliers once gained an advantage of 18 points.
With 3 minutes and 3 seconds left in this quarter, James broke through and scored a basket. The Celtics were hailed as a technical foul. James made a free throw and the Cavaliers led 56-40.
The knights have the upper hand at this time, and the little emperor is full of energy.
At the end of the second quarter, the Big Three began to launch a counterattack. They gradually adapted to the Cavaliers' style of play. Rivers changed his tactics and began to let James score, defending the other Cavaliers players with all their might.
But James is in such a good state. He can really score if he shoots.
The Cavaliers maintained a double-digit advantage at all times, and Brand was also very efficient in the inside. Whether facing Garnett or Perkins, the captain had a great confidence in attacking at low posts. James made a long-range buzzer-beating three-pointer before the end of this quarter, and the Cavaliers entered the second half 66-48.
James made 11 of 16 shots in the first half, scored 28 points, assisted 6 times, and had 5 rebounds.
In the second half, the three Celtics led the team to counterattack, and the shooting percentage of other Cavaliers players began to slowly decrease under the targeted defense of the Celtics.
The Cavaliers had not noticed it yet. In the second half, they gradually couldn't resist the Celtics by relying on James' scoring alone.
Halfway through the third quarter, Garnett scored directly in the air after receiving the ball, and the Celtics fell behind with only 9 points.
