Ji's oversized double-play helped the Clippers win Game 6, the first time the Clippers had experienced a tiebreaker in the second round.

The Spurs struggled to solve the problems caused by Ji Guoyi on the defensive end, and they allowed the fox brother to shoot 11-of-18 from the field, chipped in 29 points, 18 rebounds and 8 assists, all game-high, and had four blocks and four steals, also a game-high.

Popovich is deeply trapped in the problem of "how to deal with the fox", if Ji Guozhi continues to not possess the ball like this, only playing the role of a "magnet" to attract firepower and a "finisher" at critical moments, then how to adjust his defense?

And I can't help but worry about one thing, that is, how will the Clippers assign Ji Guoyi's role in the seventh game?

If he really reduces the defensive strength against Ji Guoyi, will he turn on the mode of "scoring king"?

The Spurs don't have a player like Ji Guoyi, who can't defend once he is in good shape, or can only defend with two people.

Duncan used to be that kind of player, but he's not anymore.

Ginobili was the same player in '05 and not anymore.

What about Parker? What about Randolph?

The Spurs can use a lot of people now, but none of them are really players who can't be restricted, but the Clippers' defense at all positions is not bad, they have top wing defenders like Iguodala, and Ji Guosha, who can defend three positions with his heart.

When the Clippers recovered a game in the fourth game, there was a rumor circulating on the Internet: The Spurs could have swept the Clippers, but they played a "match-fixing" under the arrangement of the league, because Stern was reluctant to be swept by the Clippers who played four games, so it was likely to play a score of 4:2, so that the two sides played six games, and the NBA received huge broadcast revenue from the world.

The Los Angeles Times said the day before the game: If the Clippers come back to advance, it will make all the conspiracy theorists cry out. We should face up to the Clippers' efforts. Give them the respect they deserve. Regarding "match-fixing", Billups once responded: "The game is an honor, and it is also the meaning of our existence. To be measured in terms of money is to tarnish the sport. ”

ESPN lays out the key for the Clippers in Game 7 -

1. Lei. Allen's play: Obviously, his performance in this round was not consistent enough, it was like a roller coaster. If you can get 20+ today, you may score in the single digits tomorrow, with an average of only 13 points and a shooting percentage of only 40%. You know, most of the time, he faced Ginobili and Neil's defense. For the Clippers, Ray's play in this game is very important, because in the three games the Clippers lost, Ray did not reach double digits in points. If he can be in great form in Game 7, even if it's just the usual regular season (15 points). Then Spurs are dangerous.

2. Ji Guoyi's performance: He must actively grab offensive rebounds and contribute steals as he did in Game 6, while taking as few shots as possible to 20 times. We've counted games where Fox has taken fewer than 20 shots this season, and the Clippers have an 85% chance of winning, which he should know. Fox's steals and blocks are also not to be overlooked, and once he exceeds a "3" for both, the Clippers have a 90% chance of winning, indicating that he controls the restricted area and passes in a large area.

ESPN's expert panel then began voting again, this time with 11 experts. In the end, nine people voted for the Clippers, and they gave much the same reason: no doubt. Before Game 5 began, the Spurs had a much better chance of winning than the Clippers, and no one thought the Clippers would be able to come back from defeat. However, as the game wore on, the Spurs' will gradually wavered, and Fox made four or five steals and similar blocks per game. He single-handedly separated the Spurs' "inside and inside" and "inside and outside" links, and Iguodala also joined the Foxes' defense in Game 6, where the two combined nine steals and six blocks.

Most pundits agree that the defensive intensity of the Clippers in Game 6 is incredible. If the defending champions can maintain this high-intensity defense until Game 7, it will be difficult for the Spurs to emerge victorious.

'We need to find the right rhythm and we're going to use more players who can perform. So, we might change the rotation lineup. "Popovich was still looking for the reason for the defeat before the game, and it stands to reason that even if Ji Guo is shameful, they shouldn't have lost three games in a row, and there must be some problems in this that he didn't see.

Ji Guoqiu, who is far away in New York, has found a problem, but he seems to be there in every game, and he uses God's perspective, so his understanding of the game is likely to be more detailed than the head coaches of these two teams.

Ji Guoqiu feels that it is still the "Big Four" that has harmed the Spurs, basketball is a sport of five people, but not the sport of five giants, and even the Big Three are more, the best match for a team is a giant inside and outside, supplemented by three excellent role players, and it would be better to have a sixth man on the bench.

The Spurs have kept the two giants of Duncan and Parker before, plus Ginobili, the super sixth man, and a group of top role players such as Uncle Bao, this combination is the most reasonable.

It's a pity that in the past two years, Duncan and Ginobili have been old, and the GDP combination has been in the playoffs for several years in a row, and there is always one person who is not in the best condition, and the role players who assist them are also old and old, and the retired ones are retired, which is the main reason why the Spurs have not been able to achieve results in recent years.

Zack. Randolph's arrival seems to have solved a lot of problems, but at the same time he has upset the balance of this team, and their substitution problem has not been resolved, and Ginobili has started to play, indicating that the substitution problem is even more serious.

The Spurs don't have a qualified No. 2 or No. 3 main player right now, and the bench is even more problematic, and the Clippers can get a crushing advantage in the rotation every time. Hill, Dragic, Maddy and other players force Popovich to increase the playing time of his main players every game, so every time it comes to the crucial fourth quarter, Ginobili and Duncan have to face the embarrassment of running out of energy.

Ji Guoqiu felt that Randolph's arrival had robbed the GDP of shots and the tactical position of some players, and Parker in particular was the most affected.

The youngest Frenchman in the GDP has always been a major player, breaking out every time in the playoffs, even better than some players who have dominated the All-Star for a long time.

Only this year. Tony. Parker's playoff stats are down from the regular season.

Old Dunleavy was not a fool, and even if he couldn't see it at first, he had already seen the crux of the problem now.

In this series, as long as Randolph plays well, Duncan and Parker will play a little worse, which is enough to show that they have not fully run in.

Randolph's position is now ambiguous. He may not be a member of Popovich's long-term plan, and the Spurs coach may want the team to temporarily become GDP + Randolph, but this is a bit taken for granted, this is not a building block, you can fight as you want.

Two days was simply not enough time to find and solve the problem, and the day quickly came to May 12, and today could be a history-making day, the first team in NBA history to fall behind 3-0 and turn the tables. It could be born today at Staples Arena.

Dunleavy Sr. said before the game: "I'm not worried at all, it's nothing to worry about, it's just a game, we just have to play our quality and we have home advantage. ”

Ji Guoyi was at the pre-game press conference today, but it was not a high-flying, invincible face as everyone expected, his nostrils were not facing the sky, and the dead fox said expressionlessly before the game: "The Spurs can lead us 3:0." Shows that they are not stupid. We haven't done the miracle yet, so why do you think I'm going to be arrogant right now? Maybe you think I'm stupid. It's a pity I'm not stupid either. So the question is, among the many people present, there must be stupid people, so who will it be? ”

The dead fox's face was "crackling", in fact, he wanted to say that "everyone present is stupid", but there are many people who say it. It's a vulgar statement, and it means something similar now.

After the Clippers came out, Ji Guoyi found that there were too many familiar guys on the sidelines, and today's game received no less attention than the Finals. Just two days. Many outdoor billboards in Los Angeles, as well as bus advertisements and so on, have been temporarily replaced with content related to today's game, which is enough to show the importance of this game.

To be honest, the pressure in Ji Guoyi's heart is not small now, but as long as he thinks of the pressure on the other side, his pressure suddenly lightens up.

"The Spurs players don't know what their mentality is today, and we'll have to add fuel to them later." Ji Guoyi felt that even he was so nervous, let alone the Spurs. Once they win this game, the Clippers become a myth, and the Spurs are going to be the background of a myth, and it's really sad for them to think about it.

The Spurs players soon appeared, and Ji Guoyan took a look, and sure enough, they all had a dead expression on the execution ground.

Ji Guoyan laughed all of a sudden, as a villain, as long as he saw that others were unhappy, he would be happy himself, so the tension in his heart was swept away, and he could feel that his state was full in an instant.

"Mourning, mourning, our coach said that next season we will only give you a salary of 10 million a year." When Ji Guoyi hugged Randolph, he quickly said something that made the latter extremely disgusting.

"Welcome to the NBA!" Ji Guoyi faced Ginobili with an even more smile.

The Spurs players would love to take the Dead Fox out, but the price to pay was too great, and the bastard would run away after pretending, and their old guys might not be able to catch him.

Charles. Speaking before the game, Barkley said: "One of the characteristics of the Los Angeles team is similar, and that is in terms of 'arrogance'. Yesterday, the official website of the Clippers announced the ticket sales information for the Western Conference Finals, of which the ticket sales activities officially began today. I checked, and the Clippers' season ticket owners were able to purchase tickets in advance an hour before this game, and I was eager to see what they would look like after losing this game. ”

Kenny. Smith shook his head: "If it were the Lakers, I think they would do the same." Tickets for this game have long been sold to the same price as last year's Finals, and everyone is looking forward to whether the Clippers will perform a miracle here today? (To be continued......)
