Chapter 519: Spur Rhythm
The Clippers and Spurs are gearing up for tomorrow's Game 4, with the Eastern Conference Cavaliers and Celtics ready to continue their Game 3 tonight.
The Green played dominance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in their last game, crushing the Cavaliers all the way and not giving the Gorillas any chances, and the overall score became a desperate 0-2 for Cavaliers fans.
At this moment, the Cavaliers players are undoubtedly desperate......
And David. Stern's mood was angry......
Therefore, in the third game between the two teams, the three referees who enforced the law were all replaced by the league's loyal dog, Dick. Bavita was the referee of the match.
The referee who blew the Kings to death was responsible for officiating the game, and the question is, what will happen in the third game, and the Celtics, as a giant team, should have expected it.
To be fair, the current Green Shirts are better than the Cavaliers, and if the referees could have been more impartial, the game might not have been in the air.
The NBA's star strategy is the league's consistent unspoken rule, and there is nothing to say, and Green Shirts fans are no strangers to the special care James receives, and they don't care so much, after all, their own team has a 0-2 lead.
But for the sake of fairness, how long does the league plan to continue to indulge James' five-step layup?
Before the game, the Boston media lashed out at the referees for their fouls on other Cavaliers players because of James' influence. Stern still wants to sacrifice the Celtics so that James and the Animal Brothers can meet in the Finals.
The reason is James' global appeal, even Anderson. Vallejo can also be unscrupulous when attacking. And at the moment of physical contact, you can feel safe and bold to fall to the ground and cry. The referee will be at the behest of the President. Deliver the whistle in time to make up for the Cavaliers' embarrassment in cracking down on the Celtics' defense.
That's right, what the Boston media said is not accurate at all, all in it!
Because of the third game, the shameless referee did just that, if the Green Shirts fans were still in the winner's position in the first two games and said they didn't care, then at home, they really had to scold their mothers.
The third contest was at TD North Shore Garden Course, Boston. The referees turned a blind eye to a large number of four-step layups, faked falls and were awarded offensive fouls, the Wolves only played 28 minutes of six fouls in the end, and Pierce was suspended for malicious fouls...... One qiē and one qiē all indicate that the league has decided to completely lose face in order to let the knights advance.
However, this year's Green Shirts are really strong, the Cavaliers have the secret help of three referees in addition to the five-player lineup, but these can't stop Garnett from dominating the interior in the limited playing time, as well as Ray Allen, Pierce and Rondo's ability to execute at key moments, repeatedly hitting key goals, and they let the league see their determination. The Cavaliers, who were stunned to face seven people, played two overtimes and fought until three players cramped. Three players were sent off before they were defeated.
The Cavaliers relied on the league's support, the referees helped, and finally got a valuable victory on the road, James once again got the super number of 40 + 8 + 8 jù, but this is difficult to hide the inglorious process, the misjudgment of this game can not be counted, and the league gave up a qiē fairness at the last moment for the sake of ratings.
This game is undoubtedly ugly, but it has to be mentioned that in this year's NBA playoffs, the ratings have dropped significantly compared to last year, what is the reason?
The reason is that the Spurs and Celtics played more ugly, but they played ugly, but they both reached the division finals.
Of course, the Clippers are easy to say, they are one of the few teams in the league that can play well and win, and they are naturally the most popular teams in the league.
But fans said that watching too many Clippers will still be aesthetically fatigued, and they need an opponent with topicality.
Among the 30 teams in the league, except for the Clippers, I'm afraid only the Lakers and Cavaliers can have a topic, but the Purple and Gold Aristocracy has been killed by the damn Spurs, so the Cavaliers can't be out of the game anyway, who wants to watch the game between those three old men and Durant's girlfriend?
The whole Clippers team also watched the Eastern Conference Finals in the evening, and Ji Guoyi of course laughed at the victory of the Cavaliers.
"They can win like that, but I don't believe the league will help them until they advance."
After Ji Guoyi finished speaking, he thought about it, wouldn't it be better if the Clippers met the Cavaliers, they would be easier to deal with than the Celtics.
"Let's take out the Spurs first, and then we win the next game before we can be considered for the final."
Ji Guoqiu felt that he thought too early, and the spurs were not so easy to kill.
On May 26, today is the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, and the Spurs are still sitting at home against the menacing Clippers.
The Clippers were beaten by their opponents in the first home game, but managed to bounce back in the second and third games, and the two brothers' excellent performances and Billups' steady play, combined with the Clippers' excellent defense in Game 3, managed to steal a win on the road.
The win on the road gave the Clippers back home-court advantage in the series, and they regained control of the Western Conference Finals, and if they win one more game today, they will have a match point.
The two brothers did their best in Game 3, but there was no problem with the two of them, and the last quarter of the last game went into garbage time, neither of them played, and today the Spurs may be hit more violently by the two brothers.
'Of course, we're just going to use the impact against the Spurs and as long as they get us to rush, we can continue to win.'
Ji Guosha faced reporters' questions before the game, full of confidence, and in the third game, he got rid of the slump in the previous game, scoring 32 points in the whole game, and was the main contributor to the team's victory.
Dunleavy Sr. said: "In the last game, the substitutes were very good and if they continue to play like this, I will definitely give them more chances. ”
He then referred to Crawford, with Dunleavy Sr. saying, "The most important thing on our bench is Jamal, he has to have a better offensive form and put more pressure on the opponent with his breakaways. Most importantly, he has to figure out what makes a good shot and can't just force it. ”
Ji Guoqiu's answer before the game was in line with his usual characteristic - not to offend anyone.
'The key to our next game is attack and dynamism, we need to be good at being booed and booed away from home, and too much physical contact with the opponent, but in any case, there is only one thing that the team needs to do, and that is to win the game.
In the fourth game between the Clippers and the Spurs, the elder Dunleavy did not continue to use a small lineup, facing Popovich, the so-called surprise victory is limited to one game, and continue to use the tactics of the third game, the Spurs will definitely make their heads bleed today.
On the defensive end of the old Dunleavy today, he still deployed heavy troops in the middle, but at the same time, he did not relax the defense in other positions.
On the offensive end, the Clippers are step-by-step, do not deliberately play fast offense, minimize mistakes, play more positional battles, and play more cuts and blocks.
In the first quarter, the Clippers continued to use blocking offense to try to break the Spurs' defense, but the effect was not good, the Spurs also strengthened the defense in the middle, and the Clippers did not have many opportunities to block and dismantle in the high.
The Spurs have strengthened their baseline penetration on the offensive end, Duncan has taken on more responsibilities in the middle today, and Jamison has also pulled to the outside to pull the Clippers' interior defense.
Popovich's hand-to-hand arrangement is somewhat similar to the tactics commonly used by the Clippers, with the interior pulling out to shoot mid-range shots and responses, and the guard line being responsible for offense and breaking.
The two teams did not penetrate each other's defenses in the first quarter, but the Spurs played at home and still received some blessings, shooting higher percentage and leading 20-22 in the first quarter.
Dunleavy Sr. was unhappy with the team's 20 points in the first quarter, which was a typical Spurs game.
On top of that, the Clippers rarely win games if they don't score 80 points.
Yes, the Clippers' defense is among the best in the league, but unlike the Spurs, who can win games entirely with defense, the Clippers cannot.
The Clippers need to use offense to drive their defense, and young players on the defensive end rely on energy, momentum, and quick transition between offense and defense......
But if the Clippers are allowed to stabilize and focus on defense, they can't do it, and the Clippers will have a good defense to follow if they have an offense first.
Popovich took the pulse of the Clippers today, and as soon as he came up, he used a frenzied slow rhythm to affect the Clippers, and when both teams are stuck in the mud, the Clippers will definitely be unlucky, but the Spurs are very comfortable.
The second quarter was still so tempo-like that Dunleavy Sr. wanted Crawford to make a few waves to speed up the game.
It's not that the Clippers don't want to be fast, but the rhythm is not good, and if they blindly play fast, the result will definitely be a lot of mistakes.
In the second quarter, the Clippers made this mistake, they blindly accelerated, and the turnovers increased, but the Spurs seized the opportunity to play an attack wave and pull away the score.
At halftime, the score became 40:50, and the Clippers trailed by 10 points.
In this quarter of the game, the Clippers did get faster, but they died fast, and the score did not rise at all, but the Spurs were slow, but they scored 28 points in a single quarter.
"Ginger is still old and spicy!" Popovich didn't mention it at halftime, but he said it in his heart.
"Why can't you hurry up?" The elder Dunleavy didn't figure it out after halftime.
It was a weird game, they were like they had been unleashed a slow magic, and when they were fast, they made mistakes.
"Mistakes?"
Dunleavy Sr. thought of the key point, as they made a full eight turnovers in the first half, including three for Billups, which is a very rare situation.
"First of all, we have to adjust our mentality, the difference of ten points is nothing, we still have a chance, but we can't be in a hurry, and we will first control the mistakes in the second half!"
Old Dunleavy had halftime, although he knew what to do, but whether he could do it or not depends on the table of the players on the field.
In the first half, Ji Guoqiu got 5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Ji Guoqiu had 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups had 10 points and 2 assists, and Crawford had 6 points.
Duncan had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Parker had 8 points and 3 assists, Jamison had 10 points and 5 rebounds, Ginobili had 6 points, and Roger had 10 points. Mason 6 points. (To be continued......) R1292
