In the second half, Michael Finley continued to cause damage to the Clippers at mid-range distance. Today, the Spurs veteran was a point that the Clippers chose to let go. The Spurs' GDP combination is their focus on defense, so there will naturally be someone else who leaks it out.

Percy can only reduce the number of double-teams to the inside line. The Clippers' joint defense is always unsuccessful today. The two Spurs defenders made too sharp breakthroughs. In the second half, they temporarily hit and stared at people and double-teamed the inside line according to the situation.

Ginobili continued to strengthen his breakthrough after Finley attracted defense. Manu's breakthrough increased the 5-8-foot pitch in the second half. This trick he used frequently in the series against the Pistons. Last year's finals against the Cavaliers also impressed the Clevelanders. Ginobili's bounce ability and air stagnation ability allowed him to avoid the blocks of two brothers in the air and score the ball, or pass the basketball to a more threatening location. In the first half, he and Parker were blocked too many balls by the twins, and they began to choose long-distance throws to avoid blocks.

Ji Guomeng said he couldn't stand it. Today he was defending Oberto or Cork Thomas. The defensive pressure was much smaller than Ji Guomeng, so most of the tasks of assisting defense and making up for leaks were left to him. In the second half, Ji Guomeng always had no time to block. Ginobili could shoot or pass in the air, so he took care of this and lost that.

The Spurs gradually launched a counterattack under Ginobili's breakthrough, and the atmosphere at home continued to heat up. Seeing that the situation was about to reverse, Old Dunleavy quickly called a timeout.

The third quarter was 7 minutes and 50 seconds, with a score of 51:50.

The Spurs' series of breakthroughs and passes have caused the Clippers' inside defense to gradually lose, which is rare in the regular season. In the impression of Clippers fans, their twins' inside line has not been broken through since the All-Star. Even if they encounter the Lakers, the Celtics and the Magic are at most equally divided. After all, one of the Clippers' twins cannot beat, and the other will definitely get back some disadvantages. There is no team inside line in the league that can kill twins at the same time.

Today the Spurs took a different approach. Duncan tangled one in the inside, Parker and Ginobili took turns to fight the other, from the outside to the inside, and Parker and Ginobili were undoubtedly the Fox brother.

Ji Guomo said that he could not stand it anymore. He was already in three fouls, so he could not have any concerns when defending, which greatly reduced his defensive efficiency. Many times he did not dare to force himself and could only stop at the last moment.

At this time, Old Dunleavy finally realized that **Vic would rather fall behind in the first half than put the two brothers in a foul crisis. He was waiting for this moment. His real goal was to the second half! This abacus was really good, and it was indeed a scheming calculation.

**Vic is indeed good at playing a good job, and Zhuge Go is not a fool. He would rather sacrifice Duncan's offense in order to put the Clippers inside into a foul crisis.

Now the first step has been completed. Next, we have to make a concerted effort. It’s Duncan’s turn to attack.

Of course, you should also pay attention to the defensive end. After the Clippers are suspended, they will definitely strengthen Billups' offense. **Vic was not sure to control Billups, so he could only see if his team can defeat the twins as soon as possible on the offensive end.

After the timeout, Dunleavy, the old man, indeed, asked Billups to strengthen the attack, but it was a little different from what **Vicci predicted.

On the Clippers' offensive end, Billups and Ji Guoqiu picked and rolled. The key man used the cover to break through to the inside. After the Panda brother picked and rolled, he immediately pulled the Spurs' inside defensive forces and pulled the Spurs' defense line.

Ji Guomeng frequently inserted in the back row at this time. It was difficult for Obotto, who was defending him, to keep up with the speed of the Fox brother. Even if the Argentine center kept up, it would be difficult to stop Ji Guomeng from hitting the impact.

Old Dunleavy arranged for Panda brother and Billups to play pick-and-roll, but the real main attack point was actually the little foxes inserted in the back row. They were learning the Suns' regular season approach to dealing with the Spurs. Duncan was always worried when he faced Stodomeer. Ji Guomeng's athletic ability was very close to Stodomeer. You can try to use the little bully to attack the Spurs. Besides, he did not challenge Duncan like Stodomeer. Ji Guoqiu and Billups were ahead to attract his defensive attention. He just needed to directly hit the basket with his own impact.

Billups' own breakthrough is also threatening, but with the same opportunity, the key will definitely choose to pass the ball.

Ji Guomeng left Oberto and received Billups' aerial relay, avoided Finley in the air, changed the angle and threw the board and scored two points.

"I can also hit the board, and I can also throw and throw. Do you think I am powerful?" Ji Guomo asked Ginobili after landing, making the latter's face turn blue.

"You're so awesome!" Ginobili cursed in his heart.

This was Ji Guomo's 11th point. After teasing Ginobili, the little fox gave him a thumbs up to Billups who passed the ball to him. The key man passed the ball very well, neither high nor low, which made him feel comfortable to catch.

Duncan wanted the ball on the offensive end, and the Clippers continued to double-team. Shi Fo turned around and hit the board in the waist position before double-teaming. The shooting strength was a little stronger, and the basketball hit the basket again and bounced out.

Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound with a long arm, and the Clippers launched a fast break.

Billups dribbled at the Spurs at halftime, rushed into the inside and turned around and passed the basketball to the outside. Percy seized the opportunity from the outside, and received a three-pointer to make the cheers of the Spurs fans immediately silenced.

Duncan came back and continued to play with his back. The two brothers committed fouls three times, and they could be beaten down with just a fire.

Ji Guoqiu dared not act too much in defense of Duncan, but Shifo felt very poor today. Parker and Ginobili had already recovered their feel in the second half, but Duncan, who should have been the most stable, still had no feel. I don’t know if it was a side effect of stabbing the chrysanthemum. Duncan turned around and played the board but did not make a shot. Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound again.

The Clippers' fast break did not start this time, and the Spurs retreated in time, and the Clippers fell into positional battle.

The score is 56:50, the Spurs missed two shots, and as long as the Clippers make this attack, the score is in danger of being pulled apart.

Billups played pick-and-roll with Ji Guoqiu again, and the little fox was inserted in the back row again. This was the offensive tactics arranged by old Dunleavy, and the second time it used it again. Ji Guomiang took the ball and jumped to the basket and started to force it. Oberto had no choice but to choose to foul. Ji Guomiang almost played two plus one.

**Vicy covered his face with his hands on the sidelines, and couldn't tell what he was thinking?

Duncan did not score twice on the offensive end, nor did he cause damage, but Zhuge Go still did not intend to change his tactics and continued to fight Duncan. The Spurs' old coach is so willful!

However, Duncan dared not attack again this time. Ji Guohuo made both free throws, and the score gap reached 8 points. The Spurs must score now, no matter what method is used.

Parker handed the basketball to the inside, Duncan attracted double teams and passed the basketball to Ginobili, who was on the outside, and pulled out to cover himself. Manu used Duncan's cover to kill in, attracted the defense and passed it to the bottom corner again, Bowen made a three-pointer in the bottom corner!

**Wich saw Duncan take the initiative to leave the inside and return to the high position, so he took advantage of the situation and did not worry about continuing to fight at the low position.

These two little guys don't look like they were playing in the playoffs for the first time. After they were so targeted, they could still persist until now and not be beaten. **Vic even regretted using such tactics. But now they are already in a difficult position and can only go all the way to the end, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain.

At 4 minutes and 50 seconds in the third quarter, Ji Guomeng made a mistake on the offensive end. This time, Duncan predicted his insertion in the back row in advance. Shi Fo stood outside the reasonable collision zone first, and caused a little fox to make an offensive foul, and finally sent his younger brother Ji Guomeng first.

The score was 62:55, the Spurs were extremely passive when Ji Guomeng inserted this move into the back row, but fortunately this guy finally went down.

Ji Guoqiu could not withstand Duncan alone. After Shi Fo defeated the little fox, he used his experience to finally tricked a foul on Brother Panda. The two brothers persisted for most of the quarter, but in the end, they had to leave the court for four crimes.

**Vic looked at the score and they paid a lot of money. Now there are 4 minutes left in the third quarter. Even if they don’t beat them, I guess these two little guys will be replaced in two minutes. They have to complete the task too late and they are too many points behind.

Old Dunleavy is opposite to **Vicci. He feels that if the two brothers can hold on for another minute, **Vicci's wishful thinking will be disappointed. Now the two are beaten down. This nature is completely different. Four fouls will affect the two in the fourth quarter.

After the twin brothers were beaten down, the Spurs also replaced Duncan, who was almost exhausted, allowing Parker and Ginobili to break through on the court.

**Vicci's rotation intention is very obvious. Shi Buddha will definitely play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and will probably play the whole quarter for 80%.

The Clippers did not replace Mobri and Thomas with their attacks in the last four minutes, but instead used the backcourt combination of Billups, Garcia and Percy, and replaced Amir Johnson and Paul Davis in the interior. This is a defensive lineup.

Old Dunleavy knew that **Vic planned to use these four minutes to catch up with the score, but he wanted to withstand the Spurs' counterattack in these four minutes. As long as he led the 5-point lead, **Vic's calculations in the first three quarters would be in vain.

Unfortunately, after the two brothers left the inside, the defensive ability of the Clippers dropped more than one level. Amir Johnson was too young and had no playoff experience. Davis was the same. Moreover, these two were the best inside players in the Clippers' defense besides the twin brothers, but it was not realistic to expect them to defend Ginobili and Parker's turnaround attacks. Even the twins paid a heavy foul price for this.

So it is conceivable that the two of them had already committed two in less than three minutes. The speed of the foul made Old Dunleavy's heart beat faster.

The third quarter was 1 minute and 20 seconds, with a score of 65:62.

Old Dunleavy called a timeout at the end of the third quarter. He knew that he had made a mistake. Not only did their lineup not defend, but they could not attack. With Mobley and Thomas on the court, they could at least attack. Now they not only did not defend their opponents, but they also had problems with their scoring. In the past few minutes, only relying on Billups to hit a three-pointer, and the score difference was already chased by the Spurs.

With the mentality of not being too late to fix the dead, Old Dunleavy replaced Mobri and Thomas.

But after Mobley and Thomas came on the court, Dunleavy almost vomited blood when he saw the opponent's lineup!

**Vic replaced Jacques Vaughn, Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen, Robert Horry, Cork Thomas after this timeout. This is an obvious defensive lineup. The Clippers are not guarding, but **Vic began to shrink and defend.

Van Gandy and the other two couldn't help laughing. At this time, you can see that **Vic was step by step in this game and had been tactically suppressing old Dunleavy. Although the Spurs coach's arrangement was not as good as God's. If the Spurs felt better, they would not have been behind and chased hard.

Mobley and Thomas of the Clippers did not break through the Spurs' defense line. Mobley's breakthrough was one level away from Parker and Ginobili. The Spurs are a little older, but they are experienced and they really have to play hard. It's no problem to withstand the Clippers for two or three minutes.

The third quarter ended with a score of 67:65.
Chapter completed!
