Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth gambling
"Old man, do you really think you can keep up with me? Would you be too naive?"
Ji Guomeng received the basketball offensive end and quickly passed it out, using his off-ball running to find a scoring opportunity.
Billups made a dribble and handed the basketball over to Ji Guoqiu, who cut the ball outside, and he made an unball cover for the Fox brother at the bottom line.
Jamison and Billups collided, but the latter was not knocked down, just took a step back.
Parker hurriedly changed his defense to Guohuo Ji. The Fox brother completely thought that the French did not exist. He took the basketball and easily hit a middle distance in the bottom line.
The Clippers' positioning cover is no less than the Spurs. Perhaps their ability to transfer basketball is still a little worse, but this can be completely compensated by Panda's magical passing technique. The Clippers do not use the Spurs' cumbersome passes and cuts, and they can pass the basketball into the enemy's hinterland with one blow, which is fatal!
For example, when the Clippers' next attack, Ji Guoqiu received a basketball from the wing, and a quick pass directly broke through the Spurs' entire defense line. The Fox brother cut into the basket and received the basketball, making a layup that caused Jamison to make a defensive foul and got two free throws.
In the second quarter, the Clippers' tactics remain unchanged and they still focus on Ji Guohuo.
The Spurs remain unchanged. They continue to defend the Fox brother alone. If you have the ability, you will throw me to death.
**Vicci gave Ji Guohuo a high score, not only to bet that he could not kill the Spurs by himself, but also to reduce the team's physical energy consumption on the defensive end.
As long as Spurs players know where the ball is, the defense range will be smaller, and the number of times they assist in defense will be less, so the old guys will have more energy to attack.
If you want to win the playoffs, of course you have to fight for defense. But that was the Spurs a few years ago. Now they can no longer compete for defense.
This is the embarrassing situation of the Spurs. They obviously have the top defense in the league, but they dare not use it in the life-and-death battle of the Western Conference Finals because their batteries do not maintain a combination of offense and defense, so they can only choose "offensive" and "defense".
How to choose is also impossible to decide. The Clippers are the teams in the league that can be good at offense and defense. The Spurs can only choose whether to attack or defend based on their opponents.
Then you can choose how to choose, and you will know after analyzing it. If you compete with the Clippers for defense, even if the Spurs defend better, they will not have the energy to get more points than the Clippers when they turn to the offensive end.
If you want to win the game, it depends on who scores more points in the end, so the Spurs can only choose to fight for attack and find ways to limit the Clippers' offensive firepower.
This method naturally cannot be brute force, it can only be used to take it smartly.
**Vic is now praying to God that Ji Guohuo must be in good condition today, but he cannot "explode". It is best to maintain a state that cannot be up or down so that they have the chance to win this game.
"You are the only one? They didn't help you. I've already got 20 points. Have you seen it?"
Ji Guohuo continued to provoke Jamison on the offensive end. As long as the opponent's mentality is unbalanced, it is not impossible for him to get 50+ in this game.
He has already won 60+ in the regular season, but the 50+ in the playoffs is heavier. James has done this season and he cannot be compared.
"Be careful of your dog legs."
Jamison said viciously, although the response was small, the weight was very heavy.
Of course, this was not what Jamison thought of himself. He didn't know how to do this. This was a method that Duncan taught him before the game. As a master of psychology at the NBA, Shi Fo knew very well that if he wanted to deal with a bitch like Ji Guomo, he should be forced directly with him and not be polite to him.
Even if Jamison didn't really do this, he would have to let it go first, which might scare the dead fox.
Ji Guomo was stunned and almost failed to catch the ball.
Although the "receiving" on the basketball court is not as important as the football court, once the ball is not properly received, it will definitely affect the subsequent shooting.
"Bang!"
Ji Guomeng's next shot was indeed affected and he hit the basket and bounced high.
"mine!"
Ji Guoqiu shouted again, but Duncan ran into him again and lost his balance.
Although he didn't fail this time, he naturally couldn't get the basketball.
Duncan also lost his balance and Jamison grabbed the rebound.
"Referee, you haven't seen it yet?"
Ji Guomo was extremely dissatisfied with the referee. Although he knew that the league wanted them to play seven games, because the ratings of the Spurs and the Clippers' series were very high, although not as good as last year, it was also a relatively high rating in the past decade.
"Do you have any objections?"
When the referee heard this, he had a bad tone. If he hadn't known that the dead fox was favored now, it would have been replaced by Pierce, Duncan, etc.... He would have been hit by a technical foul.
Ji Guomeng wanted to say to the referee at this time: "Don't be arrogant, you boy, I have a good relationship with your boss."
But if he really said that, he might have been sent out directly and could only turn around and run back, too lazy to pay attention to this damn referee.
"I don't understand what the godfather means. If we are out, what else can we find in the finals?"
Ji Guomo did not think that he was so shameless to call his godfather so directly. Anyway, he had done all the shameless things.
"I don't know, but this guy hit me twice and pushed me once, but the referee didn't give a penalty. It's so outrageous."
Ji Guochou was very angry. How could he have been bullied like this in the past?
"In order not to be eliminated, Duncan actually used so many despicable plays. I'm a loss for me to be his fan in my previous life."
Duncan's eyes today can no longer be described as vigorous, he is almost spitting out fire. Although Shi Buddha seems to never care about data or something, this does not mean that he doesn't care about honor. No superstar can ignore honor. Even if he already has three rings, Shi Buddha still has unlimited desire for the championship.
On the offensive end of the Spurs, Duncan received the ball in a low post, turned around and pretended to move, but did not shake the giant panda away. Instead, Ji Guoqiu, who was angry and angry, was a little sinister on his waist.
Duncan remained calm and still forced himself to turn around and scored two points with an accurate wing strike.
"beep!"
Ji Guoqiu was caught by the referee this time. Although he knew how to do these small moves on the court, the effect of using them was incomparable to Ji Guohuo. After all, he had too little practical experience, and he usually disdains to use these tricks to win, so it is difficult to hide it from the referee's eyes.
"Oh, he jumped up and shot, so don't push his waist anymore. You will definitely be discovered by the referee. You should put your black feet and kill this bastard!"
Ji Guomo shook his head at the giant panda's small movements. How can he be so slutty at this level?
"Will it be too heavy to put on black feet? He just pushed me twice."
Although Ji Guoqiu is black-hearted, his character is still very good and he doesn't want to really hurt his opponent.
The Clippers attacked, Ji Guochou took the initiative to ask for the ball this time, and he wanted to give Duncan some color.
Billups passed the basketball into the inside very happily, but the Spurs were very disrespectful. Although Ji Guomeng had no double-team, other Clippers players got the basketball. The Spurs would immediately double-team and force you to hand the basketball to Ji Guomeng.
Ji Guochou had no way to continue the attack when facing double-teams. He could only pass the basketball back to Billups.
Billups kept the ball and passed Ji Guohuo again, and the Clippers returned to the routine of letting the Fox brother play singles.
Old Dunleavy saw what the Spurs meant, but he had no choice. Ji Guomo's offensive efficiency was not low, and he had no reason to make changes.
Ji Guomo, facing Jamison's defense, made two test steps in a row and suddenly started to break through to the inside.
Jamison followed with a step, Ji Guomeng stopped suddenly and changed direction, flashed out of the space and immediately jumped and shot...
"Swish!"
Ji Guomeng made a jump shot with an emergency stop and scored his 22nd point.
In the second quarter, in the eyes of the fans of the two teams, Ji Guomo was attacking wildly, and his number of shots increased dramatically, and he played even bigger than the boss.
At the end of the first half, Ji Guomo's number of shots had risen to 19 times, and this number of shots was a bit terrifying, accounting for almost 40% of the Clippers' number of shots.
With so many moves, Ji Guomo has not been scolded for taking too many moves. His moves were all in one-on-one situations, and there were no forced moves like 1v2 or even 1v3.
As a superstar, Ji Guomeng takes a lot of shots in one-on-one situation, which is normal, and there is nothing to be criticized.
At the end of the first half, the two teams scored 60:54, and the Clippers led the Spurs by 6 points.
Ji Guoqiu scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, Ji Guomiang scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups scored 6 points, 5 assists, Crawford scored 15 points, and Avraro scored 5 points.
Duncan scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Parker scored 10 points and 4 assists, Jamison scored 14 points and 3 rebounds, Finley scored 6 points, and Bonner scored 5 points.
**Vicci was quite satisfied with this result. They lost 5 points to the Clippers in the first quarter and only lost 1 point in the second quarter. If they continue to maintain, they still have the energy in the fourth quarter and can also try to make an attack wave to turn the defeat into victory.
The team's physical energy was not exhausted in the first half, and this is what **Vic was satisfied with.
During the intermission, Dunleavy, the old team coach, was interviewed by the media.
"In the first half, we did not do as well in rebounding as in the first two games. Fox's performance proved that he is one of the most lethal players in the league. I hope he will remain like this in the second half. Our problem is on the defensive end. On the premise of our excellent offense, we also let the Spurs strike out their offense. In the second half, we need to strengthen the defense, limit the Spurs' offensive efficiency, and limit Duncan's performance."
Old Dunleavy actually knew **Vicci's idea, but he did not change the arrangement of the first half during the halftime break. Since *Vicci believed that letting go of Ji Guohuo could make the Spurs win, he bet on Ji Guohuo to kill the Spurs.
"We did a good job in the first half, we need to work harder on defense, we let the Spurs get too many points, and if we can limit the Spurs' score in the second half, the final victory will definitely be us."
Old Dunleavy hopes that the players will work harder in defense. They are different from the Spurs. The Clippers players have no physical problems. They should not let the Spurs score nearly 60+ points in the half.
Both teams did not make much adjustments during the half-time break.
The bet has been suppressed, and the coaches of both teams can only look at the players' performance.
Among them, how Ji Guomomoto performs will determine the outcome of the two teams.
Ji Guomeng didn't have so many thoughts, and his mind was full of 50+ tasks.
