"It's not great!" At the beginning of the game, many commentators saw the problem. ◎,

The Clippers players started to press and defend as soon as they came up today. The old men of the Spurs have always been slow to warm up and were forced to get busy for a while.

Ji Guomeng cut off the Spurs' cross pass within a minute of the opening, and scored two points in a counterattack. Then Lei Allen made a three-pointer in a fast break, and the Clippers started with a 5:0 start.

Today, the Clippers not only strengthened their pressing on the defensive end, but also played very aggressively on the offensive end.

The Spurs are still leading 3:2, and this game is at the Spurs' home court. Logically speaking, San Antonio players should not be under too much pressure or too nervous.

But the real situation is that in terms of player pressure, the pressure on Spurs players is greater than that of Clippers players, because once they lose this game, the Spurs have a high chance of becoming the only team in NBA history to lead 3:0 and be reversed, which is even more tragic than the "McDie Moment" at the time.

Well, McGrady seems to be right opposite, the Spurs are really in decline!

The Spurs players are too nervous on the court, which is mainly reflected in their excessive number of basketball passes. When they should shoot, they are always worried about gains and losses and hesitation.

The Clippers captured the psychology of the Spurs players and rushed and beat hard at the beginning of the game, wanting to take the "momentum" of this game to their own side, so it will be easier to play next.

The Spurs only Ginobili's attack was the strongest at the beginning. They made a drift jump shot from 18 feet away as soon as they came up. The Spurs' second attack was still completed by Ginobili, but unfortunately this time, the three-point line missed.

The Clippers quickly strengthened their defense against Ginobili, and arranged for O'Neal to attack in the interior.

Dunleavy, the old man, asked O'Neal and Ji Guomo to partner again today. He knew that the tactics of the last game would soon be solved by the Spurs, and today he moved O'Neal back to his position.

After the opening, O'Neal played against Randolph in a single match at the low post and made consecutive shots. The Sharks were in a good condition.

Ji Guomo did not play around with the front defense again today. O'Neal's assisted defense speed was too slow to help him fill the position. He and Duncan were one-on-one on both offense and defense.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, Ji Guomeng is mainly responsible for opening the Spurs' defense for his teammates. His huge threat outside the three-point line will make the Spurs' inside defense empty. Even if O'Neal is in poor condition today, Billups' breakthrough can still pose a great threat.

Of course, Ji Guomeng will not have only such a little effect. Today he will get many opportunities to single Duncan. As long as the Clippers can open the Spurs' defense line, they will have at least three positions to play one-on-one singles. The most confident of them is naturally Ji Guomeng.

In the first quarter, Ji Guomeng relied on this singles to score 6 points and 3 assists. He also had a lot of assists. This is because once a successful breakthrough, the Spurs players must retract the penalty area to protect the basket. At this time, there will be a large number of open opportunities on the outside of the Clippers. As long as Ji Guomeng can pass the basketball out, it will be a classic breakthrough tactic.

There are three players in the Clippers who can play with the ball, Ji Guomeng, Billups and Iguodala. These three are good at fighting positions, so as long as you take turns to break through the ball, the Spurs' defense line will not be able to arrange the direction. If there are some pick-and-rolls and covers in the interior, it will be difficult for Randolph, a fat man, to assist in defense in time. The Spurs' defense line will be torn to pieces.

In the first three games, Ji Guomeng held too much, and the Spurs could directly focus on his defense, so as long as Ji Guomeng handed over some ball rights and fully utilized his teammates' ability to hold the ball, the Spurs would not be able to do everything.

The three Clippers' players have all the ability to shoot. Iguodala is a player who has been averaging more than 5 assists per game for many years. This style of play can completely release this selfless swinger.

Iguodala was a little unstoppable today. His continuous attacks made Travis exhausted on the defensive end and exhausted his physical strength. With 7 minutes and 30 seconds left in the first quarter, Travis received his second personal foul and had to go off the court to rest.

The Spurs substitute small forward Kreza was even more unable to stop Iguodala, and Popovich could only use Ginobili and Gary Neal to partner in the backcourt. As a result, Iguodala's offense once again consumed Ginobili's physical strength, making the Spurs' only player in excellent form defeated themselves.

Ji Guomeng only made 4 shots in the first quarter, but his efficiency was extremely high, which was his best way to play. Even if he just stood there and did nothing, his role was irreplaceable to other teammates. The key is that he couldn't stand it himself. He always wanted the spotlight to shine on him, which was very similar to Kobe's mentality, and he always asked the sun to circle around him.

In the second quarter, Ginobili still attacked. Duncan fell to the low post and Randolph took the pick-and-roll, but Iguodala kept chasing him tightly, and Ginobili and Duncan were cut off.

The Clippers' tactic today is to use the tight defense of Iguodala, Billups and Ray Allen to cut off the connection between the Spurs' outside and inside, and force the Spurs to play various inefficient singles. These old men are not good at this.

Ginobili forced the ball to the inside many times, but was repeatedly intercepted.

Once the Clippers intercepted the ball, they immediately ran quickly and played fast attacks many times, and the score difference gradually widened.

In the second quarter, the score was 38:28, and the Clippers led the Spurs to double digits.

The Spurs' offense was not good, and Popovich frequently dispatched troops to replace two large and three small lineups composed of Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Hill and Randolph.

Randolph is in charge of defending Ji Guohuo this time, so the fox brother will naturally not miss this good opportunity and break through continuously and explode this guy who is a beat slower than him.

But the Clippers also did not defend the Spurs' attack, and they were hit by Parker, Ginobili and Hill.

Seeing this, Dunleavy hurriedly replaced O'Neal with Jordan Jr. The Clippers' return speed problem was solved, and the Spurs' second, first and third tactics were restrained again.

Popovich made a gesture from the outside. As soon as O'Neal got out of the field, the Spurs immediately took the initiative to lower the rhythm and fell into the position to attack. Ginobili and Parker made a decisive breakthrough and kept going to the free throw line. After only two minutes, Jordan Jr. was replaced again.

Jordan Jr. could not control the foul. Dunleavy, the old man, replaced the strong Joel Anthony this time, let the Canadians fight with Randolph, and once again let Ji Guomomo go against Duncan.

Those who are interested should find that today the Clippers will definitely place at least three players on the court who can attack with the ball, so as to give full play to Ji Guomo's restraint.

If the Spurs double-team Ji Guohuo, there are two players who can break through with the ball, and they can play more or less on the weak side; if the Spurs don't double-team Ji Guohuo, then let the Fox brother fight Duncan and Randolph alone, and the efficiency is also very high.

At the end of the first half, the score was 48:41, and the Clippers led by 7 points and entered the second half.

The timeouts of the two teams are not enough today. The two coaches have been constantly deploying troops, but the score gap is very stable. The Clippers have always led the Spurs 6-10 points.

It is worth mentioning that Ji Guomeng has half of the ball possession time today than before, and only 9 shots. However, he contributed 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and had excellent data on three steals. Today, his real shooting percentage even exceeded 70%.

In the first half, the Spurs were still at a loss in their athletic ability. Not to mention the Fox brother, Iguodala kept changing in the second and third positions today. Ginobili, Neil and Travis performed better, the number one will use his muscles and explosive power to entangle the opponent.

Ginobili was already out of breath after the first half. The Argentine's physical strength has always been a problem. Today, under the entanglement of Iguodala and Le Allen, he almost lost his strength after the first half.

Ji Guomo is just the opposite. After handing over the ball, he was out of the ball most of the time today. With his lazy face, he looked a bit like walking on the court, and he kept taking Duncan and Randolph in circles.

However, this kind of playing around the circle made Popovich even more worried. The Spurs' entire defense line would change with Ji Guomo. Of course, they could choose to ignore Ji Guomo, but Popovich could think that the Clippers would definitely hand over basketball to Ji Guomo. Let him always play Duncan or Randolph alone, anyway, he has absolute advantages.

In the second half, the Spurs chose to focus on offense. After Ji Guomeng shared the ball, the Clippers had too many points to attack and could not defend themselves at all. Then there was only one way to compare who scored more points.

Comparing the score, Ji Guomeng said that he was best at this.

In the third quarter, the Fox brother was not ruthless and made consecutive mid-range shots and three-pointers at the beginning, increasing his personal total score to 20 points.

The Spurs players pretended not to see it, Parker and Ginobili broke through in turn, but repeatedly made a fuss under Ji Guomo's defense.

In order to create a breakthrough space for his teammates, Duncan simply pulled half a basket to mid-range and wanted to call the Fox brother out of the penalty area.

Ji Guomomiya did not go out with him, giving Duncan the opportunity to vote for the middle distance.

The Clippers made the Spurs shoot half a shot, and after Duncan scored the first two goals, he then made three consecutive shots. The embarrassing moment came.

Duncan's mid-range shot has always given people a slightly stiff feeling. As soon as he shoots, he makes people feel that the ball may hit the basket, and in recent years it has always hit the basket. This year, Duncan's long-range shot shooting percentage is only 40%, which is not very high.

Ji Guomo's offense in the third quarter made Duncan know why his mid-range shots were not accurate? Because there was no rhythm!

The Spurs defend the national humiliation and dare not get too close. The latter's breakthrough can be too destructive. If they get close, they will be passed in one step, and the inside line will not have time to fill up.

This causes Ji Guomeng to get enough space to take action by two test steps. When the touch is good, just one simple move can make the opponent have a good drink.

In the third quarter, Ji Guomo's touch was good. Facing Duncan's defense, a tentative step forced the latter to take a step back, otherwise Shi Buddha would not be able to do any delayed moves.

Ji Guomeng did not hesitate and immediately jumped out, his body leaning slightly backward.

Duncan had no choice but to use such a shot, and the basketball flew into the basket.

The Spurs have been difficult for the Clippers to break through, but it is simply that they have never been able to solve two major flaws.

One is who will provide stable firepower points except Duncan in the interior?

This problem has been resolved with the arrival of Randolph this season.

The offensive problem has been solved. The second question is, who will defend the offensive of Ji and Guosha?

The Spurs have not yet solved this problem. As long as the fox doesn't do anything, Duncan and Randolph cannot defend against such an inside line. The Spurs' small forward position is a big loophole, and they can't even find a front gate to misalign defense.

So once the Clippers play smarter and know how to take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses, the Spurs will fall on this fatal problem.

In the critical stage of the third quarter, Ji Guohuo scored 6 points in a row against Duncan's defense, widening the gap to 12 points in one fell swoop.

At the end of this quarter, Ginobili exhausted his energy and missed the shots and was replaced by Popovich.

Duncan was the fourth offender by Ji Guohumiliation and also sat back on the bench.

The Clippers scored a 16:4 wave in the last five minutes of the third quarter, turning the score into 80:60 in one fell swoop.

The game ends here, and the winner is decided.
Chapter completed!
