In the second half, Michael. Finley continues to inflict damage on the Clippers from mid-range, and today the Spurs veteran is a point that the Clippers choose to let go appropriately, and the Spurs' GDP combination is their focus on defense, and others naturally have to be leaked.

In the end, Posey could only reduce the number of times he packed inside, the Clippers' joint defense was always unable to play today, and the Spurs' two guards broke through too sharply, and in the second half they temporarily played and marked people, depending on the situation.

Ginobili continued to step up his breakaway after Finley drew the defense, and Manu's breakaway added a 5-8-foot shot in the second half, a trick he used regularly in previous series against the Pistons, and the Cleveland man also impressed against the Cavaliers in last year's Finals. Ginobili's ability to bounce and stay in the air allowed him to avoid the brothers' blocks in the air to score the ball or pass the basketball to a more threatening location, and he and Parker were covered too much by the twins in the first half, and began to choose long-range throws to avoid blocks in the second half.

Ji Guoyi said that he was a little overwhelmed, and he defended Oberto or Cork today. Thomas, the defensive pressure is far less than Ji Guoqiu, so most of the tasks of assisting in defense and making up for leaks are entrusted to him, in the second half in the face of Manu's board throwing, Ji Guoyi always has no time to block, Ginobili can be cast and passed in the air, so he takes care of this and loses that.

The Spurs gradually launched a counterattack under the breakthrough of Ginobili, and the atmosphere at home continued to heat up, seeing that the situation was about to be reversed, the elder Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout.

The third quarter was 7 minutes and 50 seconds, and the score was 51:50.

The Spurs' series of breakthroughs and ball-sharing made the Clippers' interior defense begin to gradually fall apart, which is a rare thing in the regular season, in the impression of Clippers fans, their twin interior line has not been beaten since the All-Star, even if they encounter the Lakers, the Green Shirts and the Magic are at most evenly divided, after all, the Clippers twins can't beat one can't beat the other, and the other will definitely be able to recover some disadvantages, and there is no team in the league that can kill the twins at the same time.

Today, the Spurs took a different approach, Duncan entangled one on the inside, Parker and Ginobili took turns playing the other, dealing with the twins from the outside in, and Parker and Ginobili were undoubtedly dealing with the fox brother together.

Ji Guoyi said that he was almost unbearable, he had already committed three crimes, and it was impossible to have no worries when defending, which greatly reduced his defensive efficiency, and many times he didn't dare to come hard, and he could only stop at the last moment.

The elder Dunleavy finally knew at this time that Popovich would rather fall behind in the first half than let the two brothers fall into a foul crisis, waiting for this moment, his real goal is the second half! This abacus is really good, and it is really a good calculation.

Popovich did play a good game, Zhuge Go is not a fool, he would rather sacrifice Duncan's offense in order to put the Clippers inside into a foul crisis.

Now that the first step has been completed, the next step is to get into the air, and it's Duncan's turn to attack.

Of course, the defensive end should also pay attention to the fact that the Clippers will definitely strengthen Billups' offense after the timeout, and Popovich is not sure to control Billups, so he can only see if his team can beat the twins on the offensive end next?

After the timeout, Dunleavy Sr. asked Billups to step up his offense, but it was a little different from what Popovich had predicted.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, Billups and Ji Guoqiu blocked and demolished, Mr. Key broke through to the interior with the help of cover, and Brother Panda immediately pulled to the two wings to attract the Spurs' interior defense and pull the Spurs defense.

Ji Guoyi frequently inserted in the back row at this time, and it was difficult for Oberto, who defended him, to keep up with the speed of his fox brother, even if the Argentine center kept up, it was difficult for the difference in height and arm span to prevent Ji Guoyi's impact.

The elder Dunleavy ostensibly arranged for Brother Panda and Billups to play blocking and dismantling, but the real main point of attack is actually the little fox inserted in the back row, they are learning the Suns' regular season method of dealing with the Spurs, Duncan is always anxious about Stoudemire, Ji Guoyi's athleticism is very close to Stoudemire, you can try to use the method of the little bully to impact the Spurs. Besides, he didn't single-handedly take on Duncan like Stoudemire, with Ji Guoqiu and Billups in front of him to attract defensive attention, he just relied on his impact to directly hit the basket.

Billups is also a threat when he breaks through himself, but when he gets the same chance, Mr. Key will definitely choose to pass.

Ji Guoyi shook off Oberto to receive Billups's aerial relay, dodged Finley in the air, and changed the angle to hit the board and throw to score two points.

"I can also play the board, I can also throw, do you think I'm good?" Ji Guo asked Ginobili after landing on the ground, making the latter's face turn blue.

"You're paralyzed!" Ginobili scolded in his heart.

This is Ji Guoyi's 11th point, the little fox teased Ginobili, and gave a thumbs up to Billups who passed the ball to him, Mr. Key passed the ball very well, not high or low, so that he was very comfortable.

Duncan asked for the ball on the offensive end, the Clippers continued to wrap the clip, Shi Buddha rushed to the waist position to play the board in front of the clip, the shooting force was a little stronger, and the basketball smashed on the basket again and popped up.

Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound with a long arm, and the Clippers launched a fast attack.

Billups dribbled to the Spurs halfcourt, rushed inside and turned to pass the basketball to the outside, where Posey spotted the opportunity and hit a three-pointer to silence the cheers of the Spurs fans.

Duncan came back and continued to play back, and the two brothers had three fouls on their backs, and they could be knocked down with just a fire.

Ji Guoqiu's defense Duncan didn't dare to move too much, but Shi Fo felt extremely bad today, Parker and Ginobili had recovered their feel in the second half, but Duncan, who was supposed to be the most stable, still didn't feel anything, I don't know if it was a side effect of stabbing chrysanthemums, Duncan turned around and hit the board this time and didn't shoot, Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound again.

The Clippers' fast break didn't get up this time, the Spurs retreated in time, and the Clippers fell into a positional battle.

The score was 56:50, and the Spurs missed two shots, and as long as the Clippers made this offense, the score was in danger of being pulled away.

Billups and Ji Guoqiu played blocking and dismantling again, and the little fox plugged in the back row again, this is the offensive tactics arranged by the old Dunleavy, and the second time it played a role, Ji Guoyi jumped to the basket after receiving the ball, Oberto had no choice but to foul, and Ji Guozhi almost played two plus one.

Popovich covered his face with his hands on the sidelines, unable to see what was in his mind?

Duncan didn't score twice on the offensive end, and he didn't cause any damage, but Zhuge Go still doesn't seem to plan to change tactics and still continue to play Duncan, the Spurs coach is so capricious!

However, Duncan didn't dare to attack again this time, Ji Guoyi hit both free throws, and the score gap came to 8 points, and the Spurs must now score, no matter what method is used.

Parker handed the basketball to the inside, Duncan attracted the bag and passed the basketball to Ginobili on the outside, pulled it out to cover, Manu used Duncan to cover it, attracted the defense and passed it to the bottom corner again, Bowen hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner!

Popovich saw Duncan take the initiative to leave the inside line and return to the high position, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and did not dwell on the low post to continue to play strongly.

These two little guys are not at all like playing the playoffs for the first time, and Popovich even regrets using such tactics a little bit after they are so targeted and can still hold on to not being beaten until now, but now it is difficult to ride the tiger, and they can only go one way to the end, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain.

At 4 minutes and 50 seconds in the third quarter, Ji Guosha made a mistake on the offensive end, this time his back-row insertion was predicted in advance by Duncan, Shi Buddha stood outside the reasonable collision area first, made an offensive foul on the little fox, and finally sent his younger brother Ji Guoyan down first.

With a score of 62:55, the Spurs were extremely passive by Ji Guoyi's back-row insertion, but fortunately, this guy finally went down.

Ji Guoqiu couldn't stand Duncan alone, Shi Buddha used his experience to finally deceive a foul on Brother Panda after beating the little fox down, and the two brothers persevered for most of the quarter, and finally had to take a break with both and four fouls.

Popovich looked at the score, they paid a lot of price, now there are 4 minutes left in the third quarter, even if they don't beat them down, it is estimated that there will be two more minutes for these two little guys to be replaced, they completed the task too late, and there are too many points behind.

Dunleavy Sr. was the opposite of Popovich, he felt that if the two brothers could hold on for one more minute, Popovich's wishful thinking would be frustrated, but now the two were beaten down, which is completely different, and four fouls will affect the game between the two in the fourth quarter.

After the twin brothers were knocked down, the Spurs also replaced Duncan, who was about to die, and let Parker and Ginobili break through on the court.

Popovich's rotation intent is clear, and Shifo will definitely play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and he will play the entire quarter.

In the last four minutes, the Clippers did not replace Mobley and Thomas to strengthen the attack, but used the backcourt combination of Billups, Garcia, and Posey, and replaced Amir on the inside. Johnson and Paul. Davis, it's a defensive lineup.

Dunleavy Sr. knew that Popovich intended to use these four minutes to catch up with the score, but he wanted to withstand the Spurs' counterattack in these four minutes, as long as he entered the second half with a five-point lead, Popovich's calculations in the first three quarters would be all in vain.

It's a pity that the Clippers' interior line has dropped by more than one level after the two brothers left the court. Johnson is too young to have playoff experience, and so is Davis, and the two are arguably the best interior players for the Clippers other than their twin brothers, but it's simply unrealistic to expect the two of them to defend against Ginobili and Parker, and even the twins have paid a heavy foul price for it.

So it is conceivable that both of them have committed both of them in less than three minutes, and the speed of this foul made the old Dunleavy's heart can't help but beat faster.

The score was 1 minute and 20 seconds in the third quarter, and the score was 65:62.

Dunleavy Sr. called a timeout at the end of the third quarter, he knew he had made a mistake, their lineup was not only unguardable, but also unable to score, with Mobley and Thomas on the floor at least able to attack, now they not only failed to defend the opponent, but also had problems with their own scoring, these few minutes only relied on Billups to hit a three-pointer, and the difference has been caught up by the Spurs.

With the mentality that it wasn't too late to make amends, Dunleavy Sr. replaced Mobley and Thomas.

But after Mobley and Thomas came on the court, Dunleavy Sr. almost vomited blood when he saw the opposite lineup!

Popovich was replaced by Jacques after this timeout. Vaughn, Michael. Finley, Bruce. Bowen, Robert. Horry, Cork. Thomas, it's a clear defensive lineup, the Clippers don't defend, but Popovich starts to shrink the defense.

Fan. The three Gandy couldn't help laughing, and at this time it could be seen that Popovich had been tactically suppressing the old Dunleavy in this game, although the Spurs coach's arrangement was not complete, but it was more that people were not as good as the sky, if the Spurs felt better, they would not have been falling behind and struggling to catch up.

The Clippers' Mobley and Thomas did not break through the Spurs' defense, Mobley's breakthrough is a level behind Parker and Ginobili, the Spurs are a little older, but they are experienced, they really have to play with their lives, and it is not a problem to withstand the Clippers for two or three minutes.

The third quarter ended with the score 67:65.

Although the Spurs are still two points behind in the score, the hidden danger of the Clippers is already obvious, that is, the number of fouls by the twins, and the two of them entered the fourth quarter with four fouls, how long can they support? R1152
