After the gap between the two teams widened to 14 points, **Vic learned that the game was over and the Spurs did not have the strength to turn the tables again.

In the last three minutes, the Spurs struggled desperately and tried to bet on a three-pointer, but they didn't hit one of the four shots. The gap quickly widened to 15 points...18 points...the last was 20 points...

No one expected that the Spurs would be defeated at the last moment, and they would be defeated so simply and so miserably.

In the last minute, the two teams replaced their respective main players, and the Spurs fans also began to leave the court. They were not dissatisfied with the team's performance. Duncan scored 41 points today, setting a new high in the playoffs in recent years. They also saw how hard the players worked. They left the court early at this moment, just because they didn't want to see their opponents advance at their home court.

Charles Barkley said: "The Clippers successfully knocked on the door to the finals, but this playoff journey is not easy. They want to return to the finals, the road is difficult, and every series is very difficult. In the Western Conference semi-finals, the Clippers and Rockets won the battle. The Western Conference Finals were also extremely difficult against the Spurs in the first few games. They were about to be forced into the seventh game, but the defending champions still made efforts in the fourth quarter and won the victory. They had the best inside combination in the league."

Kenny Smith also said: "In the end, the Clippers were able to finish the battle with two games in a row, and the whole team made a great contribution. Fox's performance today is certainly outstanding, but Panda's defense, Billups' key ball, and Crawford's excitement are all decisive factors for their victory. When they not only rely on Fox and Panda to score in the last moment, but the whole team is fully fired, then they will be invincible."

"That's right. The Clippers played the team's feeling at the last moment. They fully utilized their advantages in lineup equipment. The team scored a 21-4 win, defeating the Spurs in one fell swoop."

"The Spurs have played their abilities. The six battles with the Clippers have allowed people to see their resilience. A year ago, the team was 4-1 black eight by the Clippers, but this season they almost eliminated the Clippers. Duncan shows the dominance he still has. If the Spurs can introduce relatively young potential players next year, they have the ability to continue to challenge the Clippers' position in the next few seasons."

The final score was 115:98. The Clippers beat the Spurs by 17 points, but the game process was not as great as the score.

Ji Guoqiu scored 19 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, Ji Guomiang scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups scored 14 points and 7 assists, Crawford scored 21 points, and Avraro scored 5 points.

Duncan scored 41 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Parker scored 14 points and 7 assists, Jamison scored 19 points and 6 rebounds, Finley scored 10 points, and Bonner scored 7 points.

**Vic said at the press conference after the game: "Forget tonight, tonight does not belong to San Antonio."

Old Dunleavy was quite content after the game. It is said that Jiang is still the hottest. The Spurs have richer experience in major competitions than the Clippers, but they have fallen to the Clippers, a rising star who cannot be younger for two consecutive years. In particular, they defeated coach **Vic, one of the best coaches in the league. How could he not make him feel happy?

"The Spurs have better tactical execution than ours, but we have better tactical limits the Spurs' "dual core" performance. The Spurs' "dual core" I mean Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. We used small-scale double-teams and sieges to limit their roles, thus strangling the opponent's "leader".

As Dunleavy said, Parker's scores plummeted throughout the series between the Spurs and the Clippers. In the last game, Parker averaged only 19.3 points per game in the six games in the Western Conference Finals, which still looks very high, but considering that "French Sports Car" is one of the most aggressive players in the playoffs among NBA big-name players, you know that this score is really nothing to him.

Moreover, Parker's average score of 19.3 points is a lot lower than his 25.5 points (versus the Mavericks) and 25.1 points (versus the Lakers) in the first two rounds.

The Clippers used Afflaro, Garcia, Barnes and others to misplace Parker in the first few games to avoid the 33-year-old Billups from playing against him, and did not allow Parker to easily break through or pass the ball in the middle, and prevent him from getting the ball in the low post. These have achieved significant results in actual combat.

Ji Guoqiu praised Duncan after the game, and said: "I am his fan. You can tell from my style of playing. I have been learning about him since high school. Tim is like half of my master, so it is definitely not embarrassing to him. I think when I reach this age, there may be rising stars who admire me to defeat me, and I will be honored by this."

On May 31, the Los Angeles Clippers did not waste any match point opportunities in the Western Conference Finals. They successfully won the San Antonio Spurs in Game 6 and secured a finals place.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the series did not drag until Game 7, and the Clippers gave themselves enough rest time, but these rest time was a double-edged sword for the Clippers. They wanted to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Western Conference Finals. The first matchup in the Western Conference Finals was because they had a long rest, which led the Spurs to take the lead.

The first game of the Finals is scheduled to be held on June 5, which means the Clippers will have four days off, which is good news for the Clippers, who have played 15 playoff games so far.

Since early May, the Clippers have played almost every other day. With the intensity of the playoffs, their physical energy consumes a lot. Even if the animal brothers have excellent physical fitness, other Clippers players have to rest.

The Animal Brothers' physical reserves should be at their limit at this time. Don't forget that both of them participated in the Olympics last summer. They played more games than many people in the past year, which made them need more time to recover.

The two core members are able to get a short vacation before the Finals, which will be the biggest good news for the Clippers.

For other Clippers players, a 4-day rest will help them recover their energy. I believe they will appear on the finals stage with more dynamic performances, which is also very important for the Clippers.

As the playoffs progressed, injuries began to bother the Clippers players.

Garcia sprained ankle and Billups also had some injuries on the buttocks. According to the Fox's younger brother himself, he had at least seven or eight injuries of all sizes... Well, the dead Fox may not be taken seriously, but the rest time before the finals will help the Clippers' existing injuries improve, which will be more conducive to their contribution to the team in the finals.

During these four days of rest, how to maintain the game and give players enough rest will become the most problem that Old Dunleavy needs to face before the finals.

The 5-day break before the Western Conference semi-finals made the Clippers in their first game with the Spurs, which also cost them the price of home defeat. In the finals, they must avoid a similar scene, because each game will affect the final ownership of the championship trophy and cannot be lost.

A year ago, the Clippers also ended the Western Conference Finals early. They took five days off before the finals against the Boston Celtics, which made them almost lose their strength in the Western Conference playoffs. The lessons learned last time were enough to attract the attention of the entire Clippers. Dunleavy, the old man needs to use more targeted training to keep the team in shape before this year's finals, and they should also have more positive performances in the first game of the finals.

However, for the current Clippers, the break before the finals still brings more benefits than disadvantages.

June 1. Compared with the Clippers' re-election of Western Conference champions, the Eastern Conference Finals are still in full swing. It is still difficult to determine which of the Boston Celtics or the Cleveland Cavaliers will enter the finals.

The Celtics are temporarily leading 3-2, but if they cannot knock the Cavaliers down at home, the chances of the Cavaliers' reversal victory will increase greatly, as the last game will be played in Cleveland.

For the Clippers, who do they prefer to see these two Eastern teams?

Ji Guomo, facing this question, replied: "We have home advantage over the Cavaliers and the Celtics. The Cavaliers have LeBron James, but the inside is their weakness. When they are against them, my brother and I will have more room to play. And the Celtics have Garnett, which is not an easy opponent to deal with. We have almost suffered a big loss on Duncan. Of course, we don't want to meet another superstar this time. Compared with the two, we are more willing to meet the Cavaliers."

The Fox brother's answer was as expected. In the regular season, against the Cavaliers, the Clippers averaged 108 points per game, surpassed their opponents by 10.5 points, and shot a shooting percentage of up to 50.5%. The inside advantage played a crucial role.

The two brothers have passed the test of the Spurs' inside line and are now getting better. When they meet the combination of Brand and Big Z, the pressure on them is obviously not great. Moreover, they expressed their opinion at the end of the regular season and are not afraid to play in Cleveland. A 2:1 lead in the regular season will also make them more confident.

In contrast, the Cavaliers only have Elton Brand in the interior, but his athleticism and interior offense are not as good as those in previous years. The old captain is somewhat similar to the Jazz's Boozer and the Spurs' Jamieson. Their peak period has passed, and it is difficult to cause enough trouble for the Clippers.

Ji Guohun's attack power has already been seen by everyone. He scored 42 points in the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals. Although he failed to get 50+, this attack ability that was easy to score 30 or 40 in the playoffs is enough to make the Cavaliers' insider have a good taste, not to mention Ji Guohun's insider attack ability is not a joke. Daz is afraid that he will be beaten by Panda Brother in every game.

However, the opponent is different if it is the Celtics. The four giants of the Celtics have not had any injuries so far. Garnett and Pierce have long wanted to break out last year's revenge. Among them, Rondo even claimed before the playoffs that he hoped to face the Clippers again and avenge his previous shame!

In the regular season against the Celtics, the Clippers averaged 100 points per game and had a net loss of 2 points per game. Their shooting percentage was only 40.9%. They won one win and one loss in two matches. It was a narrow victory in overtime, which is enough to show that the Clippers have no advantage in the Celtics.

Although the Celtics are difficult to deal with, Da Bendan still believes that the hard promotion of the Western Conference playoffs this year has made the Clippers grow a lot, and they have stronger ability to play key battles. With the fact that the Animal Brothers and Key Mr. and the role players are also coming back one after another, whether facing the Cavaliers or the Celtics in the Finals, the Clippers have only one goal, that is, to win the championship.
