The pace of the Clippers' lineup has slowed down again, and Billups' reading of the shape on the court is far beyond that of Dragic, and Mr. Key can find and use many details that the players are not aware of, and these details can invisibly change the outcome and trend of the game.

George. Hill was no match for the veteran Billups, and Mr. Key used the rhythm to break through, and it didn't take much speed to easily shake off the space for shots and passes, and the Spurs' first-year rookie quickly became a wolf.

Ji Guoqiu's first season against Duncan was the same, in the first few games against Shifo, Ji Guoqiu could only score about 10 points, but Duncan was able to get 20+ lightly.

Now Billups is dealing with George. Hill was more relaxed, in the second quarter, Mr. Key had a strong desire to attack, he was now the player with the most obvious advantage in the Clippers, and strengthening his individual offense was the best choice at this time, so Billups resolutely attacked with the ball.

With only one minute to go into the second quarter, Billups scored two straight goals to score four points.

George. Hill was very nervous, and he knew that if the opponent scored again, Popovich should replace him.

When the Spurs shot, Ji Guoqiu got the rebound and handed it to Billups.

Billups calmly dribbled the basketball to the frontcourt to face George. Hill changed direction first, then immediately ......

It's such a simple dribble that couldn't be simpler, George. Hill hurriedly took a big step, which showed how nervous he was.

Popovich shook his head, he didn't want to make a substitution in this situation, George. Hill is still too tender. If he can play his defensive ability. Hold your horses. It wasn't easy for Billups to break through him.

Billups dribbles for a while, then quickly changes direction, and then another one.

George. Hill tried his best to keep up, but he didn't expect the opponent to be tricked again, and then he followed the emergency stop but it was beyond the range of his knees, his legs were weak, and his whole body lost balance and fell to the floor.

Billups adjusts on the spot and shoots the basketball with ease. The result is naturally easy to hit.

Popovich called a timeout and replaced George. Hill.

Let him fight any longer, and there will be no other result than for Billups to continue to destroy his self-confidence.

'Maybe he can be a good starter, but it's hard to be a star.

Popovich has been on George. Hill secretly made an evaluation, this kid's athletic ability, basketball IQ, mental quality, and basketball skills, none of them can be called excellent, but they are all above the average level. In Popovich's view, he is a lot like Grizzlies' Conley and could probably make a good starter. Be the puzzle piece of a championship team, but it's basically impossible to reach Parker's level.

Parker had just rested for three minutes. Back on the field again.

Seeing his real opponent, Billups did not cancel his intention to continue the offensive and continued to attack Parker.

His plan is simple, the Spurs only have Parker as a player who can attack from the outside, and once Parker lacks the body to play a breakthrough threat in the second half, the Clippers' defensive task will be much easier.

So, wear down the opponent with his own attack, that's what Billups intended.

Billups may not be able to deliver the final blow himself, but he tries to break through Parker first with each attack, depleting his opponent's body and taking the Frenchman's attacking threat off the line.

It worked, and Parker had to focus more on defense, otherwise Billups' breakaway would have left the Spurs defense in the hole.

Ji Guoqiu frequently cooperated with Billups in blocking and dismantling, and after Mr. Key used his breakthrough to attract the defense, the first choice was to pass the basketball to Ji Guoqiu.

After the Spurs were scored twice in a row by Ji Guoqiu, they could only put the defensive center on these two people, so Crawford's chance came.

Is the Clippers' Nerve Knife going to have a seizure today?

Clippers fans feel that Crawford has only played one game in this series, so why should he have another pump today?

Crawford's playoff table is on a downward trend, and his table is very good in the regular season, just like the Cavaliers' shooters, often hitting from the outside in a row, adding fuel to the fire of the opposing team, and looking awesome.

But in the playoffs, as the defensive intensity continued to rise, most of the sharpshooters who shot well in the regular season encountered Waterloo.

A bunch of top shooters who shot more than 40% from three-point range in the regular season, and the three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs has collectively dropped by about 10%, although not all of them, but eight out of ten are like this.

On the contrary, Kobe Bryant, who has always been criticized for playing iron, not only did not reduce the hit rate, but became more accurate.

Including superstars such as James and Wade, most of them shoot 45%-48% in the regular season, but they can maintain this value in the playoffs.

That's why these superstars can get more than 20 million, and there is a fundamental difference between a player who can play a tough game and a regular season brush, even if you shoot 50% from three-point range in the regular season and drop to more than 30% in the playoffs, it doesn't matter.

Crawford is such a brush, the regular season looks very bullish, many Kohei said: "Crawford and Kobe seem to be no different", but in the playoffs have been slapped in the face.

But today, Crawford finally took a stand, even if he doesn't count the character he has saved up for so long, Ji Guoqiu and Billups have already attracted the defense to the past, if Crawford still doesn't play, then next season the old Dunleavy really has to think about whether to exchange Crawford for Artest, after all, the beast is also very powerful in the playoffs, and he is a player who can play hard battles.

Ji Guoqiu was caught by Duncan and Finley on the offensive end, and Crawford immediately moved to the weak side.

Brother Panda doesn't look at people passing the ball, and magically passes the basketball to the moving Crawford, which has to surprise those who know the ball.

Generally speaking, if you don't see someone passing the basketball to a pitcher, it's nothing, it's the result of drills in training.

But it's much harder to pass the basketball to a moving player without watching it, and it's very easy to miss the ball.

However, for Ji Guoqiu, it doesn't seem to be the case, such a pass is often seen on Brother Panda, and it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for him.

Charles. Barkley said: "I think his sixth sense must be better than the average person, and on the basketball court, it's a great vision and a good sense of space on the court. That's true of those great No. 1 players, but it's extremely rare among interior players, and Panda has better vision and space than a point guard. ”

Kenny. "That's right, players with great vision tend to have extremely high basketball IQs," Smith said. They are very good at observing the situation on the field, and have the ability to predict that ordinary people do not have, and can predict the next course of action of their teammates in advance. ”

In fact, these two people are talking nonsense at all, people tend to make up the phenomena they can't understand into things they can understand, these two guys are doing this, and they even believe what they say.

Crawford hit a three-pointer to make it 41-32 and the Clippers stretched the deficit to nine points.

A 9 is a dangerous red line, and the Spurs are now going to have to make a difficult choice question - to pack or not to pack?

Popovich waved his hand and no longer encircled Ji Guoqiu and Billups!

Crawford, once he has a good hand, can often score several goals in a row, which is a great threat.

To deal with such a nerve knife, you must dry his feel, control the number of his shots when he is in good condition, and after a while, he will be out of shape.

The Spurs didn't contain Ji Guoqiu and Billups, and these two continued to attack the Spurs' defense, draining Parker's physical energy.

At 8 minutes and 50 seconds in the second quarter, Bonner, who was scolded by Spurs fans for a summer last year, played well this year, shooting a three-pointer from the outside to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

Then the Clippers Ji Guoqiu and Amir. Johnson wrapped Duncan and Bonner got another shot in the high post and hit again.

Old Dunleavy hurriedly instructed Ji Guozhi to prepare to play, Amir. Johnson couldn't figure out the timing of the bag, and Bonner was able to score five points in a row, which was worth it?

On the defensive end of the Spurs, although the Clippers do not include the three players with excellent scoring ability, it does not mean that they completely use one-on-one defense.

Slowly...... The Spurs began to try to let go of Duntai again. Jones and Amir. Johnson, reusing heavy forces to defend the other three.

DENG Tai. Jones and Amir. Johnson missed a basketball by himself, which was the reason why the Spurs dared to let them go, and the score was chased to 41:37 in a blink of an eye, and the elder Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout.

At this time, the Clippers' bench lineup didn't seem to be very powerful, and the old Dunleavy re-replaced the main lineup, and the five people on the court became: Billups, Crawford, Barnes, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

The Spurs are going to have their toughest time now, and in the next five minutes, the Clippers will have four of their most scoring players on the court, and they won't be able to contain anyone. Once the Spurs' defense is slightly worse and the Clippers take advantage of the opportunity to play an attacking wave, it will be difficult to win this game again.

The Spurs have changed to the current best defensive lineup: Parker, Finley, Judoka, Jamison, Duncan.

Popovich was originally interested in Amy. Judoka has high hopes that the physical swingman will be Bowen's successor. But in the end, it turned out that this guy could be the team's locker room leader, but he couldn't make up for Bowen's absence on the court.

But despite not being a top-tier defensive guru like Bowen, Judoka can still be called a good defensive player, but that's not enough to limit the Clippers.

The Spurs must miss the retired Bowen at the moment, but in fact, even if Uncle Bao does not retire, the 38-year-old may not be able to become the nightmare of the second and third players as before.

The Clippers' terrifying offensive firepower during this period of time broke down the Spurs' defense in a few rounds.

However, the Clippers' own defense was also breached by the opponent, much to the embarrassment of Dunleavy Sr.

Jamison and Duncan were on fire on the inside, helping the Spurs bite the Clippers tightly, and the scores of the two teams could not be further stretched, forming a tug-of-war. (To be continued......) R1292
