Chapter 731: The Old Guys' Anger
That's right, Ji Guoyi played a perfect first half, and once again relapsed from his old illness, ignoring everything before, and once again chose to use his personal ability to attack the city. Although the effect is also good, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, the Spurs are not good at stubble, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to expect one person to beat them.
In the final quarter, Randolph scored four points in a row, and the total score also came to 20 points, and he led the Spurs bench to hold on to the return of the main team 92-98.
Ji Guoyi saw that the situation was not good in the fourth quarter and resumed the first half of the game, but Duncan hit three consecutive shots under the basket after returning, which suddenly made the dead fox nervous, and finally regretted his willfulness in the third quarter.
Yes, he thought that his wave was harmless, but he didn't expect that this wave not only relieved the Spurs players, but also made his teammates lose their hot feeling.
If the Clippers can widen the difference to 20 points in the third quarter, then the suspense of the game may not be really big, but now that the Spurs are morale, the outcome has become unpredictable.
After Ji Guoyi came on the court, he did not help the Clippers to open up the gap again, but the Spurs' GDP combination played a small climax of 5:0, turning the score into 97:98.
"Don't!" Ji Guoyi is really scared now, if the lead of 16 points can be overturned, he can already think of his post-game tragedy with his ass, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.
However, the more anxious he was, the less his shot was in sight, and after another three-point miss. The Spurs have a chance to overtake.
At key moments, O'Neal stepped up on the defensive end.
The Spurs played a confident Randolph. This attack was a bit of a big deal. He didn't even sway to a low-post turn layup, and he just wanted to eat O'Neal strongly, but was slapped away by a big hat from the big shark.
Billups dribbled the ball fast, and Iguodala, who followed up with the assist, scored a dunk.
Ji Guoyi screamed from behind, and the ball pulled him off the edge of the cliff.
"Boy, Jordan wouldn't dare to 'play' the game like this." O'Neill said beside Ji Guoyan at the moment, he still wants to win the championship again, and he is a little dissatisfied with the dead fox at the moment.
O'Neal really played against Jordan at the top. He's also seen the Bulls release data in the regular season. But it was the regular season, and he was facing a weak team in the league, Ji Guoyi dared to play like this against the Spurs in the division semifinals, and O'Neal was also an eye-opener, this kid was even crazier than he was back then.
He admits that Ji Guoyan has the strength of "crazy", but no matter how strong he is, he can't play like this, this is a matter of attitude!
Let's put it seriously, he is playing with fire with the honor and dreams of the whole team, and it can even be said that he has no professional quality, even if he is labeled with questionable moral quality. It seems to be reasonable.
Ji Guoshi didn't dare to squeak, don't look at O'Neal and put down his body after coming to the Clippers. always patted him on the back in front of the media, and when he celebrated his birthday last year, O'Neill also gave him a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth $400,000. But this big shark is really going to be angry, Ji Guoyi is still a little worried, how to say that O'Neill is also a Hall of Fame superstar who can be ranked in the top ten in history, and Yu Wei still exists.
In the fourth quarter, the scores of the two teams continued to stalemate, always hovering between 2 points and 4 points.
Billups, Ray Allen and O'Neal responded to the Spurs' counterattack, O'Neal grabbed a frontcourt rebound in the restricted area, and after a dunk, Billups walked to the free throw line four times in a row, and Ray Allen also scored a three-pointer, and the Clippers once again opened up the deficit at 108-103.
Duncan was impressive early in the fourth quarter, but physical issues began to strain him, and Popovich had to replace him for a break, which was the only reason the Spurs didn't bite the bullet midway through the quarter.
In the last 3 minutes and 10 seconds, Popovich replaced Duncan, who had rested for nearly 4 minutes, and the two teams entered the final matchup.
Ji Guosha played most of the fourth quarter, only got a pitiful 2 points and 1 rebound, and the veterans expressed their dissatisfaction with him with their actions, and everyone stopped passing the ball to him.
"Don't do that to me, I know I'm wrong!" Ji Guoyan secretly shouted in his heart, he didn't want to be isolated.
Ji Guoyan doesn't dare to be arrogant now, this season, his boss deserves to be called a comfortable, and now these teammates who have been oppressed by him for a year suddenly told him that it is not impossible to live without anyone in this world.
Duncan scored two points on the board immediately after he came on the court, and Dunleavy Sr. called a timeout in time to lay out the final stage of Duncan's defense.
Ji Guoyi sat back on the bench, feeling a little uncomfortable, several old guys ignored him, this situation was the first time he had encountered it.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly handed him a glass of energy drink.
Ji Guoyan hurriedly looked at it, and it turned out to be Lei Allen, who was usually silent and extremely unsociable.
"Thank you" Ji Guoyi took the drink and was about to say another word of "thanks", but Lei Allen didn't give him a chance, turned around and continued to listen to the coach's arrangement.
"This ......"
Ji Guozhi was still quite moved in his heart, although Lei Allen did not communicate with him, but he had already received the information to be delivered.
Lei Allen's impression of Ji Guosha is actually very good, some people are polite to you on the surface, like a decent gentleman, but they are despicable and dirty in their hearts, and they actually look down on you at all in their hearts, the so-called two-faced and three-faced is to describe these people.
Although Ji Guoyan gives people a frivolous and unreliable appearance on the surface, and there is still some impression that no one is in his eyes, but in fact, he is a very good person in reality, and Lei Alun can see from some small things that Ji Guoyan is not like many people who are superficial and duplicitous.
The veterans of the Clippers know what the Fox brother is like, so they will always put up with his arrogance.
But now it's time to teach him a lesson, otherwise this fox will really turn into an arrogant, empty-eyed tyrant.
Coaches like old Dunleavy and Popovich are actually not suitable for Ji Guosha, one is too laissez-faire and easy to spoil the fox brother; One is too strict, Ji Guoyan's character is to eat soft and not hard, the two of them are no less than Mars hitting the earth, and they will turn their faces in less than three days.
The most suitable for the fox brother is actually a coach like a Zen master who knows the psychology of the players. Only he can control the flaws in the character of the dead fox. Maybe he can also use Ji Guoyi's character flaws to stimulate his potential.
But alas. Phil. Jackson won't come to the Clippers.
The game restarted, and Dunleavy Sr. rearranged his trapping tactics against Duncan.
The old Dunleavy's defense is too easy to understand, it is nothing more than O'Neal just frontal, and the fox brother helps to defend from the weak side, so it must not make Duncan score easily.
No matter what the tactics are, at this stage of the game, the comparison is actually no longer a tactic, and it is the individual ability of the players that determines the final result of the game.
The number of times O'Neal and Duncan have played each other. I guess they can't even count themselves. During the OK Dynasty, the Spurs were used to planting in the hands of the Lakers, so O'Neal has always had an advantage against Duncan. Later, the Spurs began to be awesome, and O'Neal also happened to travel east, and the revenge drama in the back had nothing to do with him.
But today, Duncan is facing O'Neal again, and the result is completely reversed from ten years ago, and the big sharks can't keep up with Duncan's footsteps at all.
In the past few seasons with the Suns, O'Neal actually couldn't beat Shi Fo.
If anyone in the league has a longer shelf life, their group of players will be able to compete with Duncan for the time being.
Ji Guoyi helped to wrap Duncan according to the instructions of old Dunleavy. The stone Buddha seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, and Randolph received a second cross from the weak side.
"It's over!" Ji Guo screamed in his heart, because this time he missed someone, although he was following the coach's orders, but his plus or minus value should be reduced by at least two points this time.
Well, this guy still can't change the problem of data control, and he can't change his life!
Duncan is not afraid of the Clippers' bag at all, this is no longer the kind of clever defense of the animal brothers in previous years, Shi Buddha incarnated as the Spurs axis, led the team to play an 8:3 offense, and overtook the score in one fell swoop. After that, the Clippers, led by Ray Allen and Iguodala, also played a 7-2 offensive attack to regain the score.
In the final 45 seconds, the score was 118-115, and the Clippers led by three points.
The Spurs attacked, Ginobili did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and shot a three-point shot against Ray Allen, and the basketball hollowed into the basket.
Although Ji Guoyi and Ginobili did not deal with each other, they knew the threat of this guy best, and before they could say the words of reminder, Ginobili shot when there were 15 seconds left in the attack time.
This dead bald man dared to play like this under Popovich, and there were really few people in the entire league who could do it.
With 36 seconds left on the clock, Billups opted for a steal.
Ji Guozhi thought that Billups would not pass the ball to him, and he was not ready to receive the ball after he was in position, and by the time he reacted, it was too late, the basketball was grabbed by Parker, and the Spurs easily scored two points with a quick counterattack.
The fans in the Staples Arena are dumb again, Ji Guozhi is almost thinking about the dog at the moment, this is another mistake, it's all over!
The Spurs didn't call a timeout, and Parker made the same choice as Billups, stealing immediately after serving.
The thoughts of the Clippers players are still stuck on the mistakes of the previous moment, Ji Guozhi is still shouting "It's all over", Parker scored two more points in a lightning raid, and the Clippers became the side that fell behind by 4 points in a blink of an eye.
With 26 seconds left in the game, the score was 118-122.
The elder Dunleavy hurriedly asked for a timeout, and specially arranged a positioning shooting tactic for Ji Guoyi, hoping to score two points first.
Ji Guoyi didn't get much basketball in this section, and he felt cold at the moment, and he didn't want to shoot the key ball this time.
After the game restarted, Ji Guosha decisively chose to lose the pot, Iguodala hit a piece of iron angrily after getting the basket, and the dead fox rushed to the basket and stretched out his hand to poke it, and actually poked the ball in.
"Haha, savior!" Ji Guozhi was so happy in his heart, only when the ball was scored like this could he look awesome.
After the Clippers scored, Ray Allen quickly fouled and Duncan walked to the free-throw line with a blank face.
"No penalty!" Ji Guoyi muttered quietly on the side, but the people next to him still heard it, and the referee hesitated in his heart, should he give the dead fox a second technical foul?
"Bang dang", the first penalty directly hit the iron.
Duncan's eyelids jumped, and he glared at Ji Guosha, obviously not as calm as he seemed on the surface.
"I feel like he's going to do it!" Ji Guoqiu saw Shi Fo before the second free throw through telepathy, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"How can he do it?"
Ji Guoyan just had a question in his heart, Duncan had already thrown the basketball, and his strength was obviously heavy.
"Mine!" Ji Guoyi took a step forward and was about to get into the main position, but unexpectedly, Duncan was actually faster than him, and pushed him aside with a force on his shoulder, and got the basketball with one hand.
"Toot!" The referee blew the whistle, Billups immediately fouled Duncan, and Stone Buddha was about to go to the free throw line again.
"Actually play this trick!" Ji Guoyi now knows what tricks Duncan is going to play, isn't this the trick they used when they cheated the Celtics?
Duncan once again walked to the free-throw line with a blank face, this time hitting both free throws, and the score was again four points.
Ji Guoyi hurriedly glanced at the time, there were only 10 seconds left, and his heart immediately darkened, knowing that this game was really hopeless, it was really 0:2?
He guessed right, and the Spurs eventually held on to a four-point lead under Duncan's leadership, winning 120-124 over the Clippers to turn the big score into 2-0. (To be continued......)
