Chapter 233: Cutting the Buddha

At the end of the first half, the score was 61:62, and the Spurs led by one point to end the first half.

Ji Guoqiu had 6 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Ji Guoqiu 27 points and 5 rebounds, Billups 8 points and 5 assists, Artest 7 points, Mobley 6 points, James. Posey 6 points.

Duncan 10 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, Parker 10 points and 5 assists, Ginobili 12 points, Thomas Sr. 8 points, Robert 10 points. Horry 9 points, Michael. Finley 5 points, Brent. Barry had 5 points and Bowen had 3 points.

Charles. Barkley said at halftime: "Manu is in his heyday these seasons, he is one of the most innovative defenders in the league, the Argentine's running and jumping ability has never been the top in the league, but the peculiar way of cutting is still very dependent on the control of the body, watching him play is a visual pleasure, I think he is the most creative second position in the league." ”

Kenny. Smith said: "Of the 75 point guards in the league, Tony . . . Parker has the fourth highest percentage of ball handling, but the true shooting percentage is better than Ellis, Iverson and Davis, who are in front of the list, and the third highest point guard. ”

"Parker has always been an underrated player, and every year in the playoffs people will suddenly realize that they will forget about him in the corner in the regular season next year, and he is such a guy."

"I think as long as the GDP combination plays well, it is not impossible for the Spurs to turn the tables 1:3, after all, this probability is much greater than that of the Clippers."

Ji Guosha took a break and rubbed his wrist and scolded: "These damn old guys, they are too ruthless!" ”

The Clippers' team doctor was checking Ji's wrist, and in the last two minutes of the first half, the Spurs' Oberto slapped Ji's wrist hard, which was obviously a long-planned foul.

Ji Guo was ashamed of Oberto, and missed two consecutive shots in the last two minutes of the first half. Everyone knows that this is the last way for the Spurs to deal with the hot hand of the fox brother, although it is not glorious, but the effect is very obvious, if it is not for Oberto's foul, Ji Guosha is likely to cut a high score of 30 points in the first half.

The Clippers team doctor checked Ji Guoyi's wrist and found that there was no big problem, but this game may affect his feel, after all, the shooting mainly relies on the power of his fingers and wrists, the so-called difference is a thousand miles, and Ji Guoyi's last two shots in the first half were all iron, indicating that he was indeed affected.

"Damn, I've learned another trick now, and I'll come back in the second half of the GDP combination."

Ji Guoqiu shook his head: "I think you'd better be careful, the league definitely doesn't want us to eliminate the Spurs four to one, and this is the home of the Spurs, if you don't have a good grasp of proportion, maybe like the first game, a technical foul will directly punish you."

"By the way, how many technical fouls did I get in total?" As soon as he mentioned technical fouls, Ji Guoyan suddenly thought that if there were too many technical fouls in the playoffs, he would be suspended.

"Once, don't you think it's too little? The playoffs begin with a one-game suspension starting with the seventh technical foul and one suspension for each of the two technical fouls thereafter. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm only once, you don't have one, in the second half you hit one of the GDP combinations, they rely on these three guys to score now, as long as you get rid of one of them, don't be too hard, just like my foul on Parker in the first game, they are dead in this game, and we can go straight to the line. Boss, this is not the time for you to be above board, everyone has attacked me, we can't stretch our necks and let them bully. ”

Ji Guoqiu began to hesitate in his heart, this fox's words are not unreasonable, even Duncan has a lot of small actions in the playoffs, and it doesn't matter if he is above board at a critical juncture......

Old Dunleavy also came to the two brothers at this time, at halftime Old Dunleavy looked at the number of players, the fox brother committed two fouls in the first half, but the panda brother only had one foul, his ability to control the foul is now comparable to Duncan on the opposite side, the Spurs now want to find him to foul as hard as the sky, the old Dunleavy really can't think of Ji Guoqiu's age, how did he do this?

"Panda, your table in the first half is too gentle, this is the playoffs, you have to be tougher and more ferocious!"

Old Dunleavy was really on the same page as his fox brother in this regard, and the two of them had just mentally discussed the topic of increasing the defensive intensity in the second half, and the old Dunleavy gave him an order right after.

Ji Guoqiu saw that the coach and his younger brother had such an attitude, and he also felt that he seemed to be a little too weak, could it be that his appearance on the field was really not tough enough?

At the start of the second half, there were no changes to the starting line-ups of both sides.

After Ji Guoqiu started the second half of the game, the whole person looked a little infocused, and there was a mistake in the offensive pass, and the basketball was intercepted by Parker.

The Clippers quickly returned to defense, the Spurs didn't make a quick break, and Parker dribbled around under the basket and found that there was no chance to go around again.

The Spurs fell into a positional battle, and Duncan opened his hand to ask for the ball in a position stuck in the waist position.

Parker hoisted the basketball to Duncan, Ji Guoqiu suddenly did something that made the Spurs fans silent at this time, only to see the panda hero kill out of the ground at the moment when Duncan just got the basketball, and slapped Shi Buddha on the wrist!

The fans and players were dumbfounded, including Dunleavy Sr. and Popovich.

"It's ...... This is...... Hacking sharks? Some Spurs fans muttered, and seemed to be a little unsure.

Charles. Barkley and Kenny Smith have already laughed together, this giant panda is so talented that he actually used this trick against the Spurs and foul tactics against Duncan?

Duncan himself was a little dumbfounded, his eyes were round and he looked at Ji Guoqiu, and this expression was immediately captured by the live camera, which made fans around the world watching this game very happy.

Shi Buddha was stunned for a long time before he remembered that he had a sharp pain in his wrist, and this giant panda was not light at all.

Spurs fans were so angry that they couldn't speak, and they couldn't shout at this time, after all, every time they saw O'Neal, they would use this trick to deal with the big shark, which was in line with the sentence: Come out and mix sooner or later.

Popovich laughed off the court, he felt that the panda opposite was really a bit whimsical, Duncan's free throw percentage was above 70 this season, if it was changed to previous seasons, it might still be effective, but this season, Popovich felt that the Clippers were picking up a brick and hitting his own foot.

Besides, Duncan's free throws are always inaccurate in the regular season, but Duncan's free throw shooting percentage in the playoffs is often higher than in the regular season, which is a reflection of his superstardom.

Popovich was getting proud, and the assistant coach hurriedly handed over a number table, Popovich only glanced at it, and the laughter stopped abruptly, because the red circle on it clearly indicated that Duncan's free throw shooting rate in the playoffs this season was only 58!

The elder Dunleavy was also quickly looking at the statistics table of the players of the two teams at this time, and when he found that Duncan's free throw shooting rate was only 58, he was greatly relieved, isn't this similar to O'Neal?

Many people who are watching this game now must think that the Buddha cutting tactic is his arrangement, but in fact, he did not arrange such a tactic at halftime, which is completely on the initiative of Brother Panda.

Ji Guoqiu had an idea before, "cutting Buddha" was indeed his whim, when he watched the two teams of players count the table in the midfield, he inadvertently saw Duncan's free throw shooting rate, just now his mental inconcentration was also because he was thinking about this matter, if Duncan hit both free throws this time, the price they paid was not too big. But if Duncan's free throws aren't accurate, they can do something about it.

Ji Guozhi came up and clapped his hands with his brother, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Brother, well done, that guy will definitely not be able to throw in."

Duncan looked at the twin brothers and smiled confidently, but the stone Buddha remained silent, for he felt that facts speak louder than words.

So in the expectant eyes of the Spurs fans in the whole court, he missed two free throws......

Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound, and at this time, the scene camera deliberately gave Duncan a close-up close-up, only to see Shi Buddha's eyes widen again, this expression is seven or eight points similar to Bean......

The score was 61:62, and the Spurs fans in the whole court were really silent, and the cheers they were originally prepared could only be swallowed alive by them.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Tim has been shooting good free throws in the playoffs, and it must have been a surprise...... That's right, it was definitely an accident! ”

Most Spurs fans are comforting themselves, and at the same time, they are also comforting the fans around them, and the Spurs fans who are watching this game at this moment are comforting themselves in their hearts, this TDM must be an accident!

Tim. When Duncan ran to the frontcourt, he shook his right hand, Ji Guoqiu's foul just now had a great impact on him, but fortunately, now the pain has gradually subsided.

Ji Guoqiu received basketball outside the three-point line on the offensive end, the Spurs still used Duncan to defend the fox brother, and Ji Guoqiu was dealt with by Thomas Sr. in the low post.

"Damn, should I shoot this ball or not?" Ji Guoyi felt that there was still a jerky feeling in the wrist position of the ice during the halftime, he knew that he must have some soft tissue damage in his wrist, and he couldn't feel the dribbling, and he was afraid that he still didn't feel the shot, and his left hand could also shoot, but the accuracy was not high.

Ji Guoyi thought that his score was not low, and it was time to think about winning for the team, so he hesitated for a long time with the basketball, but passed it to Artest on the flank, and ran over to cover the beast.

Artest received the basketball and saw Ji Guoyi running over, and felt that this was still very rare, this big lone competition was so team-minded?

Although the beast was muttering in his heart, the movement on his legs was not slow, and with the help of the cover of his fox brother, he dribbled and broke through to the inside.

Bruce. Bowen used his experience to take a step back in advance, was not blocked by Ji Guoyi's cover, and was still clinging to Artest's side, this is how Uncle Bao dealt with Artest, his steps are far more flexible than Artest, plus his defensive experience and awareness, he can stick to the side of the beast, just like he dealt with LeBron last year. James, as long as the opponent dares to hit him, he dares to fly two meters away......

Artest was beaten last time out by Bruce. Bowen was frightened, and seeing that he had no chance, he hurriedly distributed the ball to Billups at the top of the arc.

The Clippers have ten seconds left in the offensive time, the Spurs' defense looks watertight, Ji Guoqiu pulls out from the inside at this time to continue to cover Mr. Key, Billups with the help of the twin brother is far better than the younger brother of the cover quality, dribbling into disguise into the interior, at a fifteen-foot distance to stop the shot, the basketball accurately fell into the basket.

After four playoff games, the Clippers' chemistry has gone further than it did during the regular season, and they no longer need Dunleavy Sr.'s pre-game instructions to focus on who to attack, and the players can react on the court, which is a tricky improvement for Popovich, because the Clippers can play a more varied offense on the court and are unstoppable......
