After the difference between the two teams widened to 14 points, Vicky knew that the game was over and the Spurs did not have the strength to turn the tables again. ○

In the final three minutes, the Spurs were desperate and tried to bet on a three-pointer, but none of their four shots were hit, and the margin quickly widened to 15 points...... 18 min...... Finally, 20 points......

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

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

Charles. "The Clippers knocked on the door to the Finals, but this playoff journey is not going to be easy, they want to get back to the Finals, it's a tough road, every series is very difficult," Barkley said. In the Western Conference semifinals, the battle between the Clippers and the Rockets was not easy to win. The first few games against the Spurs in the Western Conference were also extremely hard, and they were about to be forced into the seventh game, but the defending champions still came out on top in the fourth quarter to win the game, and they had the league's best interior combination. ”

Kenny. Smith also said: "In the end, the Clippers were able to end the battle in two cities in a row, and the whole team contributed a lot. Fox's appearance today was certainly outstanding, but the Pandas' defense, Billups' key shots, and Crawford's convulsions were all decisive factors in their victory. When they don't just rely on Fox and Panda to score in the final moments, but the whole team is on fire, then there is no way to go against it. ”

"That's right. The Clippers played a team feel in the final moments. Give full play to the advantages of the lineup. The whole team played a wave of 21-4 ** and crushed the Spurs in one fell swoop. ”

"The Spurs have played their game, and the six games against the Clippers have shown their resilience, a year ago when they were beaten 4-1 by the Clippers, but they came close to knocking them out this season. Duncan is a testament to the power he still possesses, and if the Spurs can bring in relatively young potential players next year, they will have the ability to challenge the Clippers for the Clippers in the coming seasons when Ginobili returns. ”

The final score was 115:98. The Clippers beat the Spurs by 17 points, but the game wasn't as divided.

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

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

** Vicky at the press conference after the game. "Forget about tonight, tonight doesn't belong to San Antonio." ”

The elder Dunleavy was quite complacent after the game. It is said that Jiang is still old and spicy, and the Spurs have more experience in the tournament than the Clippers, but they have fallen to the Clippers, a rising star who cannot be younger, for two consecutive years, especially the victory over the league's top coach ** Vicky, how can he not be excited.

"The Spurs' tactical execution is better than ours, but we are better at tactically limiting the Spurs' duo. When I say Spurs "Duo", I mean Tony. Parker and Tim. Duncan. In the fourth quarter, we did not hesitate to limit their role with small areas of trapping and grabbing, thus strangling the opponent's "dragon head".

As Dunleavy Sr. said, throughout the series between the Spurs and the Clippers, Parker's scoring plummeted to the last game, and Parker's six games in the Western Conference Finals averaged only 19.3 points per game, which still looks high, but considering that "French Sports Car" is one of the biggest players in the NBA who has scored the most points in the playoffs, you know that this score is really nothing to him.

Moreover, Parker's average of 19.3 points per game is really down from the 25.5 points (against the Mavericks) and 25.1 points (against the Lakers) in the first two rounds.

In the first few games, the Clippers used Afflalo, Garcia, Barnes and others to misposition Parker to avoid the 33-year-old Billups from opposing him, and not to let Parker break or pass lightly in the middle, and not let him take the ball in the low post, which has achieved remarkable results in actual combat.

Ji Guoqiu complimented Duncan after the game, saying: "I'm a fan of him, you can see from the way I play, I've been learning from him since high school, Tim is like half of my master, so it's not a shame for him to be beaten by us." I think when I'm at that age, I'll be honored that there will probably be up-and-comers who adore me who will beat me. ”

On May 31, the Los Angeles Clippers wasted no match point in the Western Conference Finals, beating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 6 to secure a Finals spot.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the series did not drag on to Game 7, and the Clippers bought themselves enough rest, but these breaks were a double-edged sword for the Clippers, who wanted to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Western Conference Finals, when the first game of the Western Conference Finals was played for too long, which allowed the Spurs to take the lead.

Game 1 of the Finals is scheduled for 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 the beginning of May, the Clippers have been playing almost every other day, and at the intensity of the playoffs, their physical exertion is so great that even if the animal brothers are in good shape, the rest of the Clippers players have to rest.

The Animal Brothers' physical reserves should be running to the limit at this point, and let's not forget that both of them competed at the Olympics last summer, and they have played more games than many in the past year, which makes it take them more time to recover.

The fact that the two cores can get a short break before the Finals will be the biggest positive news for the Clippers.

For the rest of the Clippers, a four-day break will help them regain their energy and make it to the Finals with a more energetic look, which is also important for the Clippers.

As the playoffs progressed, injuries began to plague the Clippers' players.

Garcia sprained his ankle and Billups also suffered some falls on his hip. According to the fox brother himself. He had at least seven or eight wounds, large and small...... Belch. Okay, the Dead Fox's words may not be taken seriously, but the breaktime before the Finals will help the Clippers' existing injury situation improve, which will make it easier for them to contribute to the team in the Finals.

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

The five-day break before the Western Conference semifinals left the Clippers in poor form in their opening game against the Spurs, which also cost them a home loss. In the finals, they must avoid a similar scene, because every game will affect the final ownership of the championship trophy, and there is no room for failure.

A year ago, the Clippers also ended the Western Conference Finals early, they had a five-day break before the Finals against the Boston Celtics, which made them almost as strong as they were in the Western Conference playoffs, and the lesson from the last time was enough to attract the attention of the whole Clippers team.

However, for the current Clippers, the pre-Finals break still brings more advantages than disadvantages.

June 1. Compared with the Clippers' rear-to-back Western Conference championships, the Eastern Conference Finals are still in full swing. It's hard to know who will make it to the Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Celtics are temporarily leading 3-2, but if they can't knock the Cavaliers down at home, the chances of a comeback win for the Cavaliers will be greatly increased, as the final game will be played in Cleveland.

For the Clippers, who would they prefer to see of these two Eastern Conference teams?

Ji Guozhi faced this question and replied: "We have home-court advantage against both the Cavaliers and the Celtics, and the Cavaliers have LeBron. James, but the inside is their weakness, and my brother and I will have more room to play against them. The Celtics vs. Garnett are not easy opponents to deal with, and we have almost suffered a big loss to Duncan, and we certainly don't want to meet another superstar this time. Compared to the two, we still prefer to meet the Cavaliers. ”

The Foxes' answer was unsurprising, facing the Cavaliers in the regular season, the Clippers averaged 108 points per game, outscored opponents by 10.5 points, and shot 50.5% from the field, and the interior advantage played a crucial role.

The two brothers have been tested by the Spurs' inside line, and now they are getting better, and when they meet the combination of Brand and Big Z, the pressure on the two is obviously not too great. Moreover, they stated at the end of the regular season that they were not afraid to play in Cleveland, and a 2-1 lead in the regular season would give them more confidence.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers only have Elton on the inside. Brand is in charge, but his athleticism and interior offense are not as good as in previous years, and the old captain is somewhat similar to the Jazz's Boozer, and the Spurs' Jamison, whose prime is over, and it is difficult to cause enough trouble for the Clippers.

Ji Guoyi's attack power has been seen by everyone, he scored 42 points in the sixth game of the Western Finals, although he failed to get 50+, but this kind of attack ability that scored three or four hundred points in the playoffs is still at ease, which is enough to make the knights drink a pot inside, not to mention Ji Guoqiu's internal offensive ability is not a joke, Da Z is afraid that he will be beaten by Brother Panda every game.

However, the opponent is replaced by the Celtics, which is different, the Big Four of the Green Army have no injuries so far, Garnett and Pierce have long wanted to explode last year's one-shot feud, among which Rondo claimed before the playoffs that he hopes to face the Clippers again, and he will be ashamed!

In the regular season against the Celtics, the Clippers averaged 100 points per game, an average net minus 2 points per game, and their shooting rate was only 40.9%.

Although the Celtics were not easy to deal with, Da. Bendan still believes that the hard promotion of this year's Western Conference playoffs has made the Clippers grow a lot, they have a stronger ability to play key games, with the Animal Brothers and Mr. Key, and the role players have also returned, whether they face the Cavaliers or the Celtics in the Finals, the Clippers have only one goal, that is, to win the championship.
