Ji Guoqiu was inevitably sent off the game, Ji Guoqiu and Billups only symbolically defended a few words with the referee, and the latter ignored the two at all, rushed to Parker, who was still lying on the ground, and asked the Spurs team doctor about the injury.

"Tony's nose bone seems to be broken."

The words of the Spurs team doctor made the Spurs players and the referee speechless for a while, and the referee asked directly: "What does it mean to 'seem to be broken', this thing is broken, and if it is not broken, it is not broken!" ”

"I mean, it may or may not be broken."

The referee was angry: "If you can't continue the game, you have to make substitutions." ”

The Spurs team doctor eventually confirmed that Parker would not be able to continue the game, and Popovich had to make Ginobili a cameo at point guard. Bowen was replaced.

Ginobili made two free throws for Parker and hit the ball safely, giving the Spurs possession.

The score was 76:80, and the Clippers trailed by four points after Ji Guosha went off the court.

Ginobili received the serve, stepped back from beyond the three-point line, and hit another three-point shot.

The AT*T Center Arena was boiling again, Ginobili dominated the fourth quarter today, it was his second three-pointer in a single quarter, it may not look like that much, but his two three-pointers were in crunch time, and today he was more like Mr. Key than Billups.

The score was 76:83, and as soon as Ji Guoyi returned to the locker room, he found that his team had fallen behind by 7 points.

Billups wanted a three-pointer on the offensive end, but this time he missed the shot, and the basketball smashed out of the basket.

Ginobili has a clear height advantage, and Billups is a bit unwise to make a strong shot this time, and even Billups has made a rare wrong choice at a critical moment on the road, and he should break through instead of shooting three points.

Ji Guoqiu pressed Duncan to get the rebound under the basket, and was about to dunk to score the ball, when the referee blew the whistle again and punished Ji Guoqiu for a rebound foul.

"Hell, I didn't foul!"

Ji Guoqiu was in a hurry, they still had a chance to catch up with this goal, but the referee actually blew his foul at this critical moment?

The big screen in the stadium immediately replayed Ji Guoqiu's action of grabbing the rebound in the front court, and the slow motion showed that the referee's decision to punish Ji Guoqiu for a foul this time was a bit far-fetched, and this foul was dispensable. But it's really sentenced, and the referee can also find an excuse, the moment Brother Panda was competing for a rebound, there was indeed an unconscious push action, although it was not obvious, it was okay to say that he was in normal physical contact, but it was okay to say that he was pushing people.

The referee's decision has been made and cannot be changed, the Clippers have obvious problems now, they only have one Ji Guoqiu left under the basket with five fouls, and the next game can be imagined, the Spurs will definitely attack Brother Panda This point, how long can he last under the basket alone?

The answer is: not long!

Two minutes later, Duncan's back to the board sent the two brothers back to the locker room, Shi Fo did not score the goal, but the goal has been achieved, Popovich waved his hand hard off the court, today's team's goal has been completed, if it weren't for Parker's injury, now they have been done!

In the last first quarter, at 2 minutes and 45 seconds, Ji Guoqiu received his sixth foul, but he still failed to hold on to the end, and the six fouls had no choice but to graduate.

The score is 81:86, Duncan's score difference has become 5 points after two free throws, and the most important thing is that the Clippers' interior twin towers have been wiped out, and Billups and Artest alone can no longer pose a real threat to the Spurs, even if they can score, without the twins guarding the interior, it is not difficult for the Spurs to score.

Ji Guoqiu returned to the locker room and saw Ji Guoqiu massaging his knees inside, and the two could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

Even if they have telepathy, under the Spurs' desperate breakthroughs and targeted arrangements, they still can't stick to the midfield, and there is only one reason for thinking about it, that is, they are not experienced enough. This is something to learn from Duncan, the Spurs have a bunch of old guys who are unique in the league in their ability to control fouls, but the small number of fouls does not affect their defensive quality at all.

However, this is the first time the two have played in the playoffs, and the result is not unacceptable, they have done well enough, and if it weren't for the away game, they might have been able to stick with the whole game.

Ji Guoqiu got 14 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks, Ji Guoqiu had 18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, and the Spurs were slapped with ten big hats in order to make their two fouls, which is really not a small price. Garnett only made 7 blocks in a single game this season in the regular season, but Ji Guoqiu completed 6 blocks in a single game in the playoffs, and his blocking ability is undoubtedly the strongest among all stars in their first season.

Billups and Artest tried to make a last-ditch fight in the last two minutes of the game, but in the end they couldn't resist Duncan, who lost the defense of the two brothers, and in the last two minutes, Shi Buddha scored one after another under the basket, making the Clippers' counterattack fall short!

The final score was 90:95, and the San Antonio Spurs narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Clippers by 5 points at home.

Jeff. Van Gundy stopped Ginobili, who had a great fourth quarter, and asked him what he thought of the scorching game.

The Argentine said: "We were behind in this game and only had a slight advantage in the end, which shows that the gap between the two teams is not huge, and the first and eighth places in the West are not as big an advantage as they seem. It's just the first game, and it's our home stadium, so we know the rest of the game will only be tougher than today, but winning the first playoff game makes us feel so much better. ”

Van Gundy then asked, "I noticed that you took your first shot in the second half and made a three-no-dip, forgive me for bringing it up." ”

Ginobili grimaced and said, "I knew it was a very, very bad shot, but I felt good at the time, and on my great nights, I would always make three or four really bad shots. At this point, Ginobili paused, as if in thought, and added, "Probably only two or three times." Ginobili changed his tune with a wicked grin.

The elder Dunleavy took the team back to the locker room and comforted the two brothers, losing this game is not unacceptable, nor is it the end of the world, how can it be so simple to become the fourth Black Eight team, you can't be depressed because you lose an away game.

The Clippers players returned to the locker room looking frustrated, having led three quarters only to be overturned by the Spurs in the fourth quarter, a loss that hit them hard.

But frustration is frustration, the Clippers' players are all battle-hardened, have a strong mental capacity, know how to adjust themselves after a loss, and the twins that Dunleavy Sr. fears the most are equally good, and the two of them will not be defeated by a loss.

Billups and Artest returned to the locker room and immediately asked the masseur to help massage their ankles and knees. These two main forces are not as easy as the two of them, Billups is old, plus he has broken through a lot of times today, always stops and starts, and the wear and tear of the knees and ankles is very strict, and the knees will definitely be uncomfortable after the game; Artest is too heavy, and he has played for more than 40 minutes today, not only his knees and ankles, but also his shoulders, and he threw himself into the spurs like a sand treasure today, don't think he is called a beast, it doesn't hurt to fight against others, people just endure it.

At this time, if the camera turns to the Spurs locker room, the GDP combination is worse than them, and Parker's nose bone is like what their team doctor said, it seems to be broken and it doesn't seem to be broken, that is, it is half broken, and whether he can play in the next game is still two words, at this time he has gone to the hospital for further examination.

Duncan limped out of the bathroom, today the stone Buddha has to deal with the wheel battle of the two brothers, and has to deal with Artest's breakthrough, this old bone is about to fall apart no matter how wearable, now Duncan just wants to find someone to massage it, and then sleep until dawn.

Today's best player of the game, the Argentine demon knife is also rubbing his shoulders and knees while sitting in a chair, and the serpentine breakthrough looks good, but this breakthrough method correspondingly hurts the knee very much.

In the post-match press conference, Dunleavy Sr. said helplessly: "When I saw Ginobili's tryout in Portland, I was very impressed with this young man from Argentina, and I don't know if Manu had a bad performance against us. ”

Duncan told the media after the game that he had been following the twins since they entered the league last year. Now, in the first round of the playoffs, their chance to face off has come. Shi Fo praised Ji Guoqiu very much, and said: "Brother Panda averages more than three blocks per game, you must know that I can get this number of blocks at most when I am young, he has caused me a lot of trouble on the defensive end, and I have not encountered such a difficult rookie." ”

The Clippers returned to Los Angeles overnight, and the results of the game between the Hornets and the Suns on the other side were already in, and the New Orleans defeated the Phoenix Suns on their home court.

The Hornets, though inexperienced, managed to turn the tables from a double-digit deficit in the first half.

Chris, playing in the playoffs for the first time. Paul was the biggest contributor to the team's victory, scoring 24 points in the second half and contributing 35 points, 10 assists and four steals. David. West had 23 points and eight rebounds, and Peja had 23 points. Stojakovic scored 14 points, and Tyson. Chandler had 10 points and 15 rebounds.

The Suns collapsed under Paul's attack, and Stoudemire had 24 points and 10 rebounds. Nash had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, O'Neal had 12 points and 14 rebounds, but the Suns bench player was mediocre, Barbosa shot 0-of-7 and ate duck eggs, and only Dio played normally, with 11 points and 5 rebounds.

The Phoenix were not at a disadvantage in the first half, after all, they had a lot of playoff experience and got into the groove quickly, while the Hornets made the playoffs for the first time in four years, and Paul and others played their first playoff game.

The Hornets started the game extremely poorly, and the players were a little nervous from the start, and Paul was no exception. Chandler's two aerial relays were smashed and the Hornets were mediocre in the first quarter, trailing 19-26.

The Suns extended their advantage to double digits several times in the second quarter, and with 4:53 left in the quarter, Stoudemire scored a dunk to give the Suns a 40-30 lead. Then Nash and Dio hit back-to-back three-pointers in the final minute of the quarter as the Suns ended the first half 53-40.

The young Hornets gradually adapted to the tense atmosphere in the second half and began to turn the tide under the leadership of Queen Bee Paul.

Paul blasted Steve in the third quarter. Nash scored 15 points, the Hornets won 36-20 in the first quarter, and the New Orleans took only one quarter to overtake the score. Paul proved to everyone in the playoffs that he was already a superstar player in the league.

The Hornets quickly opened up the gap after the start of the fourth quarter, the aging O'Neal reached the final quarter, Stoudemire fell into a foul crisis, and the Phoenix people immediately lost the inside. West and Tyson. Chandler's interior combination unexpectedly defeated Smalls and O'Neal, so that the Suns hit just two shots from Nash in the opening nine minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Hornets took control of the situation.

In the end, the Suns were toyed with by Paul, helplessly watching being overturned by the Hornets, Nash hit two three-pointers in the last minute, and scored 11 points in the fourth quarter and was powerless. R1152
