Chapter 517: There Are No Good People in Los Angeles!
"If we defend them with air, the result is that there is so much air around them, you have to fill it with bones and become tough, your strong bodies are not for good looks, to make them feel the power of your muscles!"
Popovich spoke very quickly, and the Spurs players felt his anger from the speed with which their coach spoke, and if there was no improvement, the boss should spray the spit star directly in their faces.
At this time, Popovich still had some scruples between his words, and before that, he was afraid that he would shout directly: "Don't be like a girl, go up and put them down!" β
When the game is at a disadvantage, the role of the coach is important, but the role of the core players is even more important.
The Spurs' Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and even newcomer Jamison are all players who can step up in crunch time.
The elder Dunleavy also knows the strength of the Spurs' Big Four, so he is not at ease with a 20-point lead, this is not an insurmountable point difference, the game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, Cleveland Aren't the Clevelands erased by Boston to smooth out the 20-point difference?
The Clippers players don't dare to be careless at this moment, this is the division finals, this is a game that no one will give up until the last minute, and they must play 12 points to prevent being attacked by the Spurs.
Ji Guoyi shouted: "Yesterday's knights are our role model, they are 20 points ahead and still lose, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past." β
At this time, the Cavaliers players who watched the game all had black faces, and James even scolded the dead fox for being shameless!
Ji Guoshi's words, the knight players knew with their butts that this bastard must have deliberately shouted so loudly, and the dead fox knew that the live broadcast camera must be aimed at them, and this sentence was obviously deliberately disgusting to the knight.
"I'd rather foul than give them an open shot."
Before Ji Guoyi came on the court, he said to his teammates that in the eyes of the fox brother, it is definitely not efficient to let the Spurs chase the score with free throws at this time.
That's what he did, Jamison caught the basketball with the help of off-ball cover, used the rhythm to shake Ji Guosha, and the fox brother slapped Jamison down with both hands directly in the air.
I'd rather send you to the free throw line, but don't want to get a two-plus-one chance - that's what Ji Guosha does.
"He's a malicious foul!"
Ginobili loudly protested to the referee, but wanted the president's godson to get a technical foul, which Cheng DΓΉ couldn't do, it was a dream.
Jamison's free throws are good, but Ji Guoyi's strength is not light, Jamison's hands are about to be swollen, Ginobili's protest is not a show, Ji Guoyi's foul is indeed very bad.
"Bang!"
Jamison hit two free throws, Ji Guoqiu grabbed his long arm and scored his 8th rebound, which was less than half of the second quarter, and Brother Panda had to break 20 rebounds today.
"That's a must, the rebounds are all mine."
Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound and handed the basketball to Billups, and said secretly in his heart.
Billups went off the court early in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, the Clippers reinstated their regular lineup: Billups, Afflalo, Garcia, Ji Guoyi, and Ji Guoqiu.
Obviously, Crawford's playing time today was hit by Dragic, but this is normal for the Clippers, and Dunleavy Sr. will not give face to other players except for his twin brother and Billups.
Avralo felt the pressure when he saw Dragic's excellent performance today, the Clippers have a lot of people available in the backcourt, and there are no injuries, once someone looks good, others will be impacted, and the playing time will be reduced a lot.
But this is a challenge that every professional athlete faces, and the only way to get more playing time is to train hard, perform well on the court, and the coach will naturally increase your playing time.
Ji made a wall for Afflalo, who cut inside to receive a pass, but was blocked on the line of the box by the Spurs' quick rotation.
At this time, Afflaro did not jump up and force his shot like Crawford, his head was hot, but he quickly simulated the environment he was in in his mind, so he naturally thought that Ji Guoqiu should have a vacancy on the outside at this moment, and Afflaro immediately jumped up and passed the basketball to the outside.
Ji Guoqiu is indeed undefended at the moment, standing in the position of one step inside the three-point line, receiving the pass and immediately shooting, the basketball draws an accurate parabola and plunges into the basket!
"Aaron, pass beautifully!"
Ji Guoqiu went up and touched Afralo's head, he learned from Duncan, and the goal was to touch all his teammates' hair in order to highlight his dark and thick hair.
Duncan returned a two-point shot on the offensive end, but this shot had more luck in mind, and Popovich knew that he couldn't play like this, and it would be difficult not to continue to open up the difference, let alone narrow the score gap.
"Attack inward, create damage."
Popovich reminded his players on the sidelines that playing under the basket is the smart choice at this time, whether it is a free throw or a layup, it is more effective than a mid-range shot anyway.
The three-point shot is a way to chase points when the inside line is opened and the outside line has enough space, and the order of the two must be clarified.
The Spurs have two breakaways, but now that Ginobili has an ankle injury, Yan ZΓ²ng has affected his breakthrough and defense, and the Spurs only have Parker to play inside.
Parker followed the head coach's instructions and dribbled into the interior, but was naturally caught by the Clippers player again and almost lost the ball.
Duncan received a basketball that Parker had barely separated from his center of gravity and forced a miss.
Ji Guoqiu won the rebound, the Clippers immediately launched a counterattack, the fox brother rushed to the front court to receive the basketball, dodged Mason's one-handed dunk, and the Spurs were silent again.
Charles. Barkley laughed: "The Clippers figured out where Parker broke through and deployed a heavy crew in the middle today, no matter who the players on the court are, that won't change. β
Kenny. "Parker is now going to have to change his route and try to break through from the flanks and ribs to avoid the middle of the opposition's heavy defense," Smith said. β
"The flank position, which is usually reserved for Ginobili, is suitable for attacking on both flanks."
"So, it's up to Popovich to help Parker adjust his habits in practice, but I'm afraid it's too late today, and it's too difficult for the players to adjust on the court."
Parker can't break through, the Spurs can only take a step back, relying on Duncan and Jamison on the inside to score points, but the interior defense is the strongest link of the Clippers, and the Spurs want to catch up with the 20-point difference here.
The two brothers teamed up to send 4 blocks in the second quarter, among which Ji Guoqiu made a shocking block and directly slapped Duncan's half-hook hand out.
The Spurs fans in the entire arena were all holding their heads, and they couldn't imagine that Duncan's shot would be covered, was it a dream?
Clippers fans weren't too shocked, the two brothers didn't do much of this, and normal hook shots were really hard to block, but if you like the two of them, and a bouncing monster like Howard, you can still do it occasionally.
As long as the timing is right, the original gutter Abdul-Jabbar was also built by Chamberlain.
Speaking of which, Chamberlain's height and arm span are not much stronger than the two brothers, and if the animal brothers had reached that era, their achievements would never be lower than that of the basketball emperor.
At halftime, the score was 66-39, and the Clippers led the Spurs by 27 points at halftime.
Ji Guoqiu 13 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, Ji Guoqiu 18 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Billups 10 points and 5 assists, Crawford 6 points, Dragic 8 points.
Duncan had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Parker had 5 points and 2 assists, Jamison had 12 points and 5 rebounds, Ginobili had 2 points, and Roger had 2 points. Mason 3 points.
The elder Dunleavy said to the players at halftime: "The game is not over yet, 27 points is still not enough insurance, our eyes can't just focus on this game, a big win will hurt the Spurs will be continuous, what we want is this effect, so 27 points is far from enough." β
Ji Guozhi gave Taylor on the side. Swift texted while responding to Dunleavy Sr.
"That's right, the coach is right, 27 points is not enough, 37 points is not enough, 47 points is about the same."
Ji Guozhi said the number 47, and accidentally typed the word 17/47 on his mobile phone, and he wondered for a long time.
Speaking of little singers, since this time Taylor. Swift was always sneaky, and the dead fox began to get scared.
Yesterday, as soon as the little singer asked him to go to the concert, Ji Guoyi agreed without thinking about it, and he agreed very happily.
"You're really cheap, unproductive, I don't know you, sit away."
Ji Guoqiu is very contemptuous of this, he is really a worthless guy.
In the Spurs locker room, Popovich doesn't have many options, and the coach is not omnipotent, otherwise the Zen master would not have fallen on F4 twice in a row, Popovich was also hacked last season, and the coach must have good cards in his hand to win.
The twin brothers of the Clippers are two kings, Popovich originally had four twos in his hands, and it is not clear who will win and who will lose, but Ginobili's injury left him with only three twos, and the Clippers still have two kings, so it will not be easy to do.
"Damn the Lakers, Ginobili is aggravating the injury in the series with the Lakers."
Popovich was in a hurry, and scolded the Lakers and Zen masters in his heart, and the Los Angeles team did not have a good thing.
"Okay, cheer up, we haven't lost the game yet."
Popovich can't make much tactical adjustments, only to boost the morale of the players, which is very important, sometimes even if there is no reliable tactic, but as long as the players are motivated, XJBD can take out the opponent.
"Think about it, what did ESPN's bricks say about our semifinals? They predicted that the Lakers would be 4-2 Spurs. Yes, in the face of devout bettors, these shit swear that this is the final prediction made by combining the current strength of the two teams, the regular season head-to-head record, and personnel changes, but what about the result? β
Duncan said: "The result was that we eliminated the Lakers and made it to the Western Conference Finals. β
"That's right, before the Western Conference Finals began, they said the Clippers advanced 4-2, and now, what do we do?"
"Kill them!" R1152
