At the end of the first quarter, the score was 25-26, and the Spurs led the Clippers by one point on the road.

The Clippers' style of play has changed a lot this year, but the Spurs still have Popovich's philosophy in their bones.

This can see the skills of the coaches of the two teams, where does the old Dunleavy have any style, the quality of the results and the tactical style of play completely depend on the players, this is the real thigh. Looking at Popovich and Zen masters, no matter where they go, the team's tactics are their own set of styles, and this is the difference between top coaches and average coaches.

What Los Angeles fans are watching now is not how awesome the coach is, what is there to see, they are watching the star performances, Ji Guoyi played the first quarter today, cutting 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and played a very comprehensive role.

Clippers fans are a little similar to Lakers fans, and their eyes will be more on the core of the team, that is, Ji Guoyi. As long as there is a real superstar in the team, even if the team's record is poor, they will be happy to come and watch the game.

Of course, if the team has a good record, that's the best.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers showed a lot of firepower. Hill hit the first jumper, and Maddy didn't know which way to smoke, and made three consecutive shots to give the Clippers a quick six-point lead.

The Spurs used a semi-rotation lineup in the second quarter, with Parker, who left the game early in the first quarter, leading Neil, Creza, Split and DeJuan against the Clippers.

The Clippers are also semi-rotated, with Billups, Maddy, Hill, Joel, O'Neal.

O'Neal was supposed to be the Clippers' first point of attack in the bench period, and the Spurs backup center DeJuan was the first point of attack. With a height of only 200cm, Blair is half a head shorter than O'Neill, and the main shark is obviously the best choice.

But Maddie had a good hand today, and he hasn't performed like this very much this season, and the entire Staples Arena cheered Maddie for his wonderful performance.

O'Neill wasn't angry. He has always had a good relationship with Maddie. Maddie came to the Clippers last year also because O'Neal lobbied in the middle. Many fans should remember how emotional O'Neal's kiss to Maddie at the All-Star was in the early years, although Maddie wiped her head in annoyance after being kissed.

When the Sharks played against Maddie at their peak, they said in an interview after the game: "Maddy, Kobe, Iverson and I are the four best players in the league. It can be seen that his relationship with Maddie is extraordinary.

After Maddy came to the Clippers last year, a reporter asked him if he could partner with O'Neal at his peak and play Kobe's role in the Lakers, what would happen to his career and how many rings could he get? Maddie replied: "We should play well, I don't know exactly how many rings we can get, but I and O'Neal will definitely not fall out like he and Kobe Bryant, we will not have a conflict." My relationship with O'Neill has always been good. ”

Maddy's performance in the second quarter forced Popovich to call two timeouts in a row, but he still couldn't solve his team's weakness at the small forward position.

Kreza's pace is too slow, and his explosiveness and speed are not as good as Maddie's now, which is the reason why Soft Mai can break out.

The elder Dunleavy was not ready to give the Spurs a chance, and soon re-replaced Iguodala and Ji Guoyi, and the lineup on the court became: Dragic, Iguodala, Maddy, Ji Guoyi, Jordan Jr.

Popovich was jealous of Dunleavy Sr. again, saying that the Clippers' lineup was not as good as last season, but he felt that the Clippers could play more cards this season. If these cards are given to him. It's not out of the question that the Clippers will come up with another 70 wins.

The Clippers had a stronger roster than before, but for the next few minutes. On the contrary, it is impossible to score.

The old and spicy Parker then played 2+1 on Dragic, and the Spurs gradually narrowed the gap to 2 points while the iron was hot, and the Clippers then fell into a scoring drought of more than 3 minutes, and the Spurs' semi-bench lineup overtook the score instead.

The cheers of the Clippers fans diminished a lot, and Ji Guosha came up with back-to-back misses, and his singles ruined the team's good chemistry. Maddie and O'Neal couldn't integrate into the team's offense, Iguodala had limited offensive means, and the Spurs only needed to guard against Ji Guoyi and Dragic on the outside, and the pressure on the defensive end was greatly reduced.

The difference between Ji Guoyi and Kobe Bryant is that he knows very well what he is doing. also knows that his playing style is unreasonable many times, but he still plays like this often, because he can score points by playing like this!

But when the situation is not right, Ji Guoyi will not have to drill the horns like Kobe, he will change his style of play very undisciplinedly.

This is actually playing with fire, but Ji Guoyan is not afraid of self-immolation, he feels that as long as he is serious, he can fill back the pit he dug, he has such capital.

Ji Guoqiu will not do this, the giant panda is cautious, he understands very well, he often walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet?

Dead Fox plays like this, once or twice may be okay, but if there are too many times, there will definitely be times when you miss.

Ji Guoyi still understands this simple truth, but this slut still thinks the same, anyway, the series is not a win-or-loser, even if he loses one, he is still confident that he can get it back.

This is the so-called character determines fate, because nature is difficult to change.

In the middle of the second quarter, Ji Guoyi began to change his style of play, frequently using breakthroughs to create shooting opportunities for himself and his teammates.

It was reasonable to play like this, but the tragedy came, his teammates fell into the same cold hand as him, missed consecutive shots, and the Staples Arena was full of "bang ......" for a while!

Duncan and Randolph came on the court and quickly let Clippers fans know what they lost last summer?

After the lack of Ji Guoqiu this season, the weakness of the Clippers is actually in the restricted area, under the basket!

The Clippers don't have a superstar who can output consistently in the low post, and when they encounter outside players who don't feel good, they have one less weapon that can sustain their output; And on the defensive end, when encountering teams that are good at low-post offense, the Clippers have one less reassuring defensive point.

When this gain and loss are combined, the Clippers are not a little bit of a problem.

O'Neal was on the defensive end, and whether he was defending Duncan or Randolph, he couldn't keep up.

On the defensive end, the Spurs resolutely used Randolph to defend O'Neal, supplemented by outside shots to deal with the old shark.

O'Neal faced such a defense, he couldn't play in the low post and fell into the same embarrassment as Howard.

Dunleavy Sr. had thought that Randolph would be restrained by O'Neill. But now it seems a bit whimsical.

O'Neill now only has a slight advantage in strength and height, but Randolph is just not afraid of these two weapons, not to mention that he has teammates to help, if the 39-year-old O'Neill can still impress him, then he Uncle Zack is really a waste.

The elder Dunleavy saw that O'Neal couldn't move, so he replaced him with Jordan Jr.

Jordan Jr. was even more unbearable after he came on the court. He simply can't see enough in front of Duncan and Randolph, these two are singled out against Jordan Jr. in the low post, and they can shake off this stunned young man in three or two clicks. Jordan Jr. had a top athletic ability, but he was pressed to the ground and beaten by two opponents who couldn't even jump.

Clippers fans miss the giant pandas again, Duncan last season, in the face of Ji Guoqiu, he was already a little impressed, but look at the current little Jordan, what is the stone Buddha playing like? Why is there such a big gap between people?

Old Dunleavy finally couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Joel. Anthony and Ji Guoyi partnered. But the Spurs interior combination that has played form. Still able to score points with his height and solid low-post skills, a mere 206cm Joel. Anthony, how can you prevent them.

At the end of the first half, the score was 48:58, and the Spurs overturned the sea on the inside of the Clippers, leading the Clippers by 10 points at halftime, exceeding everyone's expectations.

Ji Guoyi only scored 4 points in the second quarter, and he shot 1 of 6 in this quarter. It only took a free throw to score 4 points. After the first half, his stats were 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. If you look at the data alone. His performance was not bad, but Ji Guoyi's shooting percentage was only 5 of 13, so such a performance could not be considered good.

Charles. At halftime, Barkley originally wanted to say that the elder Dunleavy's indulgence of Ji Guosha was the root cause of the team's backwardness, but it was a little disgusting to look at the dead fox's data. If he says that, Clippers fans and Fox fans don't know how to hack him. The big ass witty didn't mention Ji Guosha, and it was better to think that the Clippers were leading now.

Ji Guoyi himself also knew that the advantage of the game was originally on their side, and it was his continuous swings and singles in the first few minutes after he came on the court in the second quarter that caused the team to lose the rhythm of the game, and his hand was not good. That's when the Spurs seized the opportunity.

However, he also thinks that the Clippers are leading now, and it is a joke to expect him to admit his mistakes as he did in his first season.

The old Dunleavy also didn't mention who was responsible for falling behind, just arranging the tactical play in the second half, as for why he fell behind in the first half, forget it.

During the intermission, the live broadcast camera began to do bad things again, and the camera kept shining on the two heroines.

On the sidelines of Staples Arena, a good scene of volleying was staged at this moment.

Both girls scolded each other in their hearts for being a disaster, and every time the British little bitch smashed/fake breasted slut came to the scene, the Clippers would definitely lose!

In the second half of the game, Ji Guoyi still chose to strengthen his personal attack first.

Popovich is scheming and has long arranged for this, and the fox brother hit the basket twice under the interference of Duncan and Randolph, and had to choose a difficult layup, and he missed the shot twice.

Old Dunleavy secretly screamed on the sidelines that it was not good, and if he continued to fight like this, he would kneel today.

In the third quarter, Parker took the lead in shooting, and Argentine "Demon Knife" Ginobili then became the offensive core of the Spurs. The big bald man first steals Ji Guosha's counterattack and dunk, and then shoots three points from the outside, scoring 7 points in less than 2 minutes, leading the Spurs to a 9-0 attack wave.

The score was 46:66, and the Spurs widened the difference to 20 points in the blink of an eye.

Ji Guosha now feels terrible, after the Argentine bald head scored three points, he actually came to provoke him again, and Ji Guosha, who couldn't help but be angry at that time, said Chinese to the dead bald head: "nimazale!" ”

Ginobili is very proficient, although he doesn't know what Ji Guoyi said, he immediately sprayed with the other party, the purpose is to attract the attention of the referee, and at the same time lure Ji Guoyi to lose his calm, and it will be difficult for the Clippers to chase the score when the time comes.

There was a clash on the pitch and the referee immediately stepped forward to warn the two men, but no foul was shown to anyone.

Billups shook his head, and that's when he made a choice and started taking over the ball. In the next game, unless it was a good opportunity, Billups would no longer pass the ball to Ji Guoyi - Mr. Key was a little unhappy.

Ji Guoyi was even more unhappy, but he also knew that he had to calm down and never be provoked by others, it would be too unprofessional.

Billups was in control of the ball, and the Clippers immediately became fluid.

Ray Allen's movement, Iguodala's impact, and Jordan Jr.'s bounce all came into play.

As the Clippers began to pick up speed on the court, Billups changed the problem of frequent offensive attacks in the first half, and Clippers fans quickly saw Iguodala's fast-break dunk, as well as Billups' high-efficiency offense that helped follow up after a 3-pointer and a breakaway to help follow up Jordan Jr.'s layup -- playing the opponent's foothold and using the quick-transition offense to create opportunities, which was the foundation of the Clippers' foothold in the league in the past.

In the first half, as long as Ji Guoyi held the ball, the Clippers would fall into a passive positional battle, and the other four could only watch him single-handedly challenge the entire Spurs team, and the smooth offense in the past could no longer be played.

Popovich saw the Clippers launch a counter-attack, immediately called a timeout, and then stepped up the marking of Billups.

After the game restarted, Billups found himself running out of passing space, and the Spurs entertained him with a one-man marker and a one-man marker pass, and the entire defense began to shift to his side. If it were changed to last season, Billups would not have thought about it, and would immediately pass the basketball to Ji Guoqiu, pull himself to two 45-degree three-point lines to open up space, and easily make the opponent's defense useless.

But now, Billups glanced at Ji Guoyan helplessly, although he didn't believe him very much at this time, he could only hand over basketball to the real core of this team, everything he could have done had been done, and he couldn't be blamed for losing.

Ji Guoyi finally got the basketball again, and he faced Duncan, who was a year older.

"Damn, Lao Tzu didn't get a basketball for three minutes, dare you believe it?" Ji Guozhi was complaining in his heart, but his movements were not slow, and a cross step was a little meaningful, indicating that I had made a fake move, and then dribbled to the inside to kill.

Duncan couldn't keep up with Ji Guosha's footsteps at all, and Randolph hurriedly made up for it under the basket.

After Ji Guoyi jumped up, with the assistance of the giant panda's sight, he found that the Spurs' defense had pounced. Allen was let go, and the basketball was thrown over.

"Good shot!" Dunleavy Sr. shouted from the sidelines.

It's a pity that the basket made a "plop" sound, and after this iron, thunder. Allen's three-point shot was already 1 of 5.

"You can't blame me, I can't help it."

Ji Guoyi's ball has indeed been passed very well, but his teammates can't shoot in the empty position, what can he do? So he felt that this game was so far behind, it should have nothing to do with him. (To be continued......)
