The Clippers still lined up today: Billups, Ray Allen, Iguodala, Ji Guoyi, and O'Neal's starting lineup.

The Spurs made some changes to the starting lineup, and Popovich sent today: Toney. Parker, George. Hill, Travis, Zach. Randolph, Tim. Duncan, it's a two-point guard lineup.

George. Hill has played his worth this season, and the Spurs have been considering trading Parker to correct him, but Popovich has not been able to break up the GDP because of the lack of a good trade plan.

Of course, Ji Guozhi felt that this was purely a spur to cover people's eyes and ears, and to promote George in disguise. Hill's small trick so that Popovich wouldn't risk offending Duncan Chrysanthemum and trade away his good friend.

After the start of the game, the Clippers playing at home were in full swing, with Ji Guoyi and Iguodala constantly pressing their opponents, using aggressive pressing defense to interfere with the Spurs' rotation, although the effect was not so great.

Popovich was scheming and had expected the Clippers to make this move, and today he deliberately changed to a two-point guard lineup, and at the same time strengthened the bench lineup, killing two birds with one stone.

However, there are gains and losses, this lineup is not tall enough, George. Although Hill's arm span is prominent, he wants to keep up with the thunder who is running all over the field. Allen, still a little reluctantly on experience, Billups and Ray. Allen opened with a golden 10-4 opening.

At the critical moment, Duncan threw another free throw and scored 5 points to stabilize the army's heart, but the Clippers core was not to be outdone, and Ji Guoyi returned four points with a breakthrough.

The fox brother didn't seize the ball after the opening, and Popovich secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, once this dead fox did not score points. It's horrible.

Today, the Spurs do not dare to use heavy troops to defend against discipline and national shame. But that's it. They can only rely on one-on-one defense to defend the current scoring champion.

This is a difficult task, and Duncan said that he is ten years younger and has a lot of pressure, let alone now.

Popovich has long tried to use Zach. Randolph came to defend Ji Guosha, but the former's footsteps were not as good as Duncan's, as long as the dead fox was pulled outside the three-point line, Rotten Tofu wanted to hit his head to death, he felt that he was not a player in the same position as the opponent at all, and Rotten Tofu would rather defend O'Neal, who was a tonnage bigger than him. He is also reluctant to deal with his fox brother, who is a tonnage lighter than him.

In the first few games of the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs' tactics of defending Ji Guosha were Duncan's three-point shot, and Randolph was dead under the restricted area, and the two-pronged approach was to deal with the fox brother who always liked to shrink his eggs.

At first, this tactic worked well, but from the fourth game onwards, Ji Guoyi liked to raise his arms after breaking through, which made it difficult for Randolph to use black hands to yin him.

This kind of European step layup, Ji Guoyan has not used it often in the past two years, but it doesn't mean that he won't use this technology.

Let's talk about this kind of defense of the Spurs. It will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of fouls by the man under the basket, and Randolph did not play many minutes in the last game. As long as Ji Guoyi's breakthrough does not shrink, such an arrangement cannot restrict him.

Duncan faced his fox brother who was no longer shrinking, and said to himself, I am not a player in the same position as him, besides, how old are we?

If you continue to defend it like this, it is easy to be completely reimbursed after playing this season!

Ji Guoyi didn't give Shi Buddha face at all today, he understood the importance of this game in his heart, so he didn't shoot outside at all, and broke through and broke through again, anyway, he knew that even if Duncan took two steps, it would be impossible to stop him, they were indeed not players in the same position.

After the fox brother used the breakthrough to score 8 points in a row, Popovich could only change his defensive tactics and simply use Travis to defend Ji Guosha, and Duncan to defend Iguodala, who was not very good at three-point shooting.

This misalignment is even more outrageous, Popovich is betting that even if Duncan puts Iguodala two meters away, this guy will not be able to shoot a three-pointer.

Iguodala is sure to shoot in the face of James-level treatment.

As a result, the basketball twice smashed into the basket outside the target like an anti-aircraft shell!

Dunleavy Sr. couldn't be calm, he didn't plan to let Iguodala continue to try, and decisively replaced Maddy, who had been performing well in this series, as the team's No. 3 position.

Now Maddie or Travis, who is in better physical condition?

This question is really uncertain, Popovich has no one to change when he sees this, if he changes to Ginobili, Maddie really can't prevent the Argentine, but he can't let Ginobili defend Ji Guosha, right?

Once again, Popovich has found that the Spurs are really short of a great forward defender, and if they have a top swingman like Iguodala, just thinking about Popovich is going to.

Old Dunleavy is planning well, if the old man on the other side really dares to change Ginobili to disgust him, then he is not easy to bully, just let Ji Guoshame defend Ginobili, and then let Maddie defend Duncan, but I want to see whose arrangement is the most unscientific?

Fortunately, the fans did not see this strange scene, and after a series of adjustments, both sides did not perform for nearly two minutes, until there were 4 minutes and 35 seconds left in the quarter, and it was Ji Guoyi who suddenly came out, this time he hit a three-pointer from the outside, breaking the deadlock on the court, and then Ray. Allen put the icing on the cake as the Clippers made it 24-14 with two three-pointers.

Popovich hurriedly called a timeout, and the Clippers had fierce firepower outside the three-point line, so they could only replace Duncan first to temporarily strengthen the defense on the outside.

After the game restarted, Parker and Ginobili helped the Spurs make the score 18-24 with solid jump shots.

Ji Guoyi's side turned on the scoring mode, and his breakthrough added two more points to the Clippers, followed by Randolph, O'Neal, George. Hill, Ji, and Parker scored alternately, and with the last 10 seconds left in the quarter, it was Ji Guoyi who fired from the outside to help the team turn the score into 34:26, and the seventh game of the two teams' decisive battle seemed to have become a head-to-head battle again.

After the first quarter, all fans and media people who watched the game were no longer optimistic about the Spurs, and if they wanted to fight with the Clippers to attack, unless the peak Suns and Warriors came, they might still have some strength. But this Spurs can't beat the Clippers offensively anyway.

Don't forget. This is the home of the Clippers!

The Spurs were already trailing by eight points in the first quarter. If you continue to play like this, won't the Spurs be 15 points behind at the end of the first half?

Popovich fully understands the Spurs' embarrassment, but his team simply can't keep the Clippers attacking from beyond the three-point line.

Today, Ji Guozhi did not arrange heavy defense, and the Spurs barely prevented the offense of Billups and Iguodala and others, but as expected before the game, the fox brother scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Ji Guoyi's shooting percentage was 3 of 5 shots. He made a mid-range shot, a rebound, and a three-pointer, adding up to just seven points, and the remaining eight points were all broken fouls through free throws, and the Spurs paid the price of six fouls on the fox in just one quarter.

"Well done, just keep playing, the two main interior lines of the Spurs have already committed two fouls, and then, we will not give them a chance to turn over." Old Dunleavy couldn't keep his mouth shut, Ji Guoyi's breakthrough today was like an atomic bomb exploded in the spur formation. To have this weapon of mass destruction in your hand is to be comfortable.

"Don't swell, a team like the Spurs will never be able to beat. You don't want to repeat the same mistakes, do you? Ji Guoqiu hurriedly reminded the dead fox not to be complacent in New York, he felt that this guy's heart began to flutter again, this game has just finished the first quarter, there are still three quarters left, anything can happen.

"You are calm, you will never give them a chance to turn over today." Fortunately, Ji Guoyi still knew the importance of this game, and at the moment he pressed down on his dominance of the ball.

After the start of the second quarter, Ji Guoyi, who was in good hands, did not rest, and the elder Dunleavy did not plan to replace him today.

After the Foxes faced the Spurs' bench lineup and scored five straight points again, the Clippers had extended their lead to double digits in the blink of an eye.

At the critical moment, Ginobili hit a three-pointer from the outside to stabilize the line, and then Gary. Neil also performed, but apart from these two, the Spurs had too few people to use.

The Clippers' bench lineup continued to play a decisive role, with Iguodala and Hill not at all looking like a bench, with Dragic hitting Iguodala on consecutive breakaways, who used the open cut to keep attacking the basket, and the Spurs were in trouble with fouls and weak forwards.

Spurs fans feel like they can give up this game, look at the Clippers' bench lineup: Dragic, Iguodala, Hill, Ji Guoyi, Jordan Jr.

Looking at their bench lineup, I'm not embarrassed to compare with others at all.

Even if they are lucky, they can eliminate the Clippers and enter the Western Conference Finals today, facing the Dallas Mavericks, who are not inferior to the Clippers in terms of overall strength, and the Spurs have little chance of going further.

At 8:45 in the second quarter, Hill hit a mid-range shot, and the score became 43:28, and the Spurs were already 15 points behind.

Iguodala and Dragic took turns to break through during this time, Ji Guoyi and Hill became outside shooters, plus Jordan Jr., who actively grabbed rebounds in the front court under the basket and was bent on dunking, the Clippers used another set of tactics to constantly hit the Spurs' fragile defense.

After the timeout, the game finally entered a tug-of-war, and the two sides began to alternate scores.

Five minutes later, the Spurs, led by Duncan, finally closed the score gap with an 11-3 counterattack climax.

But they paid no small price, Iguodala drew another foul on Duncan, and the Spurs core had to return to the court as a spectator late in the second quarter.

The Spurs lacked a mid-range core, and the Clippers immediately began to play high-post pressing defense.

Billups, Iguodala, and Ji used their excellent pressing defense to make the Spurs' rotation start to trouble, and their inside and outside began to disconnect, and even if Parker could get the ball out of the first place, the Clippers could block the basketball in time for the second point.

Once the Spurs did not have Duncan's answer, even the best transfer ball made mistakes, Randolph could not replace Duncan's central role, and the Clippers used their excellent defense to keep the Spurs without scoring in the next four minutes or so in the open game.

At halftime, the Clippers led the Spurs by 19 points at 61-42, and a miracle was not far from the Clippers. (To be continued......)
