The old Dunleavy approach is a typical conspiracy, showing that the strength of the Spurs bench is not good, unless the GDP can lead the Clippers by a large score on the court, otherwise the two sides of the bench will play each other, and the final winner must be the Clippers, *Vicky also knows this very well, but there is no way.

The Clippers coach already knew after the last game that he was not the opponent of the Vicky by playing the conspiracy, and in fact, he was not the opponent of the Vicky by playing the conspiracy, but he had a good deck of cards, as long as he did not make mistakes and played his cards out in order, the Vicky would not be able to turn the sky over......

Duncan's form in the second half was still ridiculously good, and one person couldn't hold him down at all, and the Spurs relied on constant passing, covering and interspersing in the second half, and began to launch a counterattack under the leadership of the GDP combination.

Since the last game, it has been difficult for Ji Guoyi to effectively command the running position of his teammates, it is not that Artest does not cooperate, the beast still has his professionalism in this regard, it is really that the running position of the Spurs is too complicated, which is dazzling, and with the cooperation of a team like the Spurs, it is easy for him to make his teammates dizzy, but it is counterproductive.

Old Dunleavy is also thinking, the twins can't be defended by one person, and it is not cost-effective to defend two people, so don't defend at all, anyway, their lead has reached double digits, as long as they attack against the Spurs, it is not easy for the other party to catch up with the difference of more than ten points.

At this time, the old Dunleavy had forgotten the pre-game arrangement, and he couldn't take care of Artest's feelings, and now whoever is sure will use whoever is the main attacker, completely letting Billups and Ji Guoqiu make the judgment.

The Clippers' running and interspersing are not bad, and even they do a better job of off-ball coverage and fixed-point play than the Spurs. Twin brothers will also often be on the left and right flanks, or on the top and bottom lines. Create one-on-one singles opportunities for Billups and Artest.

Artest actually likes this kind of cover, but after the twins cover like this, it is more of the two of them who attack and act as terminators. That's what old Dunleavy asked, Billups and Artest after the cover breach. If you don't have a chance, you have to return the ball to the twins.

Either way, both teams struggled to defend each other's offense, especially after the Spurs recovered from Parker's second-half form, and the lethality of the GDP combination on the offensive end began to show, and the trio worked together for many years to make their offensive efficiency better than that of the Clippers.

The third quarter was two minutes and thirty seconds. At this time, it has basically exceeded the rotation time of the substitutes, *Vic is that tangled off the field!

The old Dunleavy scheming made *vic want to scratch his ears and cheeks, and the excellent play of the GDP combination in the third quarter has narrowed the score to single digits, but everyone knows it. Once they enter the bench rotation period, the point difference they managed to catch up with is likely to be buried by a bunch of old guys over 35 years old in the blink of an eye.

With a score of 82:74, the Spurs narrowed the gap to eight points.

Ji Guoqiu got 10 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyi got 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, Billups got 15 points and 6 assists, and Artest got 18 points and 4 rebounds.

* Vicky eventually swapped out the GDP combination, and the Clippers couldn't get away with it. He knew that he would probably fail if he did so, but if he didn't, he would die faster. Duncan's playoff run for 40 minutes is already considered overloaded, and if he doesn't let Shi Buddha rest in the second half. No matter how good it feels, you can't throw it into it.

Duncan has missed two shots before, and that's a sign that he needs to rest.

The Spurs replaced Duncan and Ginobili, but kept Parker on the court, and the French sports car is still not very old, *Vic thinks it should be okay to it.

Dunleavy Sr. also substituted the twin brothers off the court, and as early as midway through the third quarter. The Clippers have replaced Artest early, and at this time they sent out: Blaven. Knight. Artest, Garcia. Amir. Johnson, Tim. Thomas' second-tier lineup.

On the other hand, the Spurs' bench lineup was immediately dwarfed by the Clippers.

Tony. Parker, Brent. Barry, Bruce. Bowen, Robert. Horry, Cotter. Thomas.

The Spurs have a bench lineup, except for Tony. Outside of Parker, there is basically no autonomous attack ability.

Brent. Barry is no longer the flying white man who won the slam dunk contest, although he can still dribble and attack, but in the playoffs against Artest's defense, it is difficult for him to make a difference; As for Bruce. Bowen, the third uncle has always been a fixed turret that can only shoot at fixed points, and this is limited to two bottom corners; This year's Robert. It's even harder for Horry to believe that he can still shoot at a crucial moment in the final quarter, and in the regular season, Vic has rarely let him play, and if he has a choice in the playoffs, Vic will definitely let him stay on the bench to guard the water cooler.

And the Spurs' bench is not only on the offensive end, but their appearance on the defensive end is the real disaster for the Spurs!

In the Clippers' lineup, Artest finally became the core of the offense, and the beast broke through with his ugly but practical basket, completely relying on his body to crush Bruce. Bowen and Brent. Barry.

The last two minutes of the third quarter have completely become Artest's performance moment, and Artest at this time is far stronger than Ci Shiping two years later. James' weight, even though he can't jump and is slow compared to James, is enough to tear apart the Spurs' bench with just enough impact to tear apart the Spurs' bench, which he did last season at the Sacramento Kings.

Spurs fans can't bear to watch a bunch of old guys on their team, being hit by the Clippers, and finally staying up until the end of the third quarter, Artest has scored 24 points on free throws, and today the beast has become the one who has made the final decision at the critical moment.

Clippers fans are the most happy, they feel that Artest is very strong on the offensive end today, and even the elder Dunleavy thinks that Artest's appearance today is a gratifying thing for the Clippers, and they can rely on the number of stars to crush the Spurs.

In such a short period of time, the elder Dunleavy has even figured out that the next game can stagger the playing time of the twins and Artest, so that their offensive firepower will not be interrupted and continue to impact the Spurs' defense.

The score is 90:78, Tony. Parker scored some points on their own breakaway in the final two minutes, but they conceded more points on the defensive end, and a 12-point margin meant they had one foot in the cliff.

"I mean, don't you think there's something wrong with Artest today?" Ji Guoqiu opened the fourth quarter, sat on the sidelines and asked.

"No, is there anything wrong?" Ji Guoyi shook his head and asked.

"I can't tell what the problem is. I feel that Artest's love is a little weird, I hope it's a good thing and not a bad thing! ”

"Neurotic, it's better to think about the time when you are suspicious, how to go up and brush up a little more points in a while, the number of playoffs is worth more than the regular season. I think Artest is so strong on the offensive end today, he must want to brush up on a good number of jù, so that he can get a big contract next season, but this year is his contract year! ”

Ji Guoyi's guess did guess part of Artest's thoughts, and before the start of the Beast playoffs, he was reminded by his agent that there was no good number, and it was impossible to get a high-paying contract in front of Sterling, a stingy guy.

And Artest's agent has been instigating him to leave the Clippers, and the reason is very simple, Sterling will not give Artest a generous contract if he has twins and Billups, so Artest's best choice is to get a good number in the playoffs, test the free market next year, and sign the last big contract of his career.

In the eyes of Artest, who grew up in the slums, the ring is secondary, money is the first choice, and the poor are afraid of money.

In the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, Artest continued his excellent performance in the last two minutes of the third quarter, and he wanted to show that he has the strength of a core player, even if he wants to be a second-in-command next season, he will also get the salary of a big leader.

At the 9th minute and 35 seconds, *vic hurriedly replaced Duncan and Ginobili, but the atmosphere in the stadium has fully explained the current situation of the Spurs, the shouts of the San Antonio fans have now become weak, the GDP combination is back on the court, and the Spurs fans only symbolically shouted twice.

With a score of 100:85, Artest increased his score to 30 points, which is also a very high score in his career.

* Vicky will play more than a quarter of Tony. Parker temporarily replaced, and then let Ginobili act as point guard again, and the Spurs' on-court lineup: Ginobili, Bruce. Bowen, Michael. Finley, Tim. Duncan, Curt. Thomas.

The Clippers also replaced most of the main players, and the elder Dunleavy also temporarily replaced Artest, who played almost a quarter, and the lineup on the court was: Billups, Garcia, James. Boxi, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

Charles Bar. Klee smiled in the live broadcast seat: "Old man, we can think about it, what are we going to eat tonight?"

Kenny. Smith said deliberately, "Didn't we already eat tonight?" Or think about what you're going to eat tomorrow morning? ”

After the main players of the two teams returned to the court, the Spurs still could not take advantage, today is not only Artest is in excellent form, the twins are also playing above the average level, the two of them are also big players, they will play better on the stage of the playoffs, they are naturally suitable for this kind of big game atmosphere, the impact of the away fans on them is minimal.

At 5 minutes and 10 seconds in the fourth quarter, Artest returned to the court, and the score was 109:96, and the Spurs still trailed by 13 points.

At this time, most people can see that the second home game of the first round of the Spurs may not be saved! (To be continued) R655
