So far in the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs' regular season pick of fourth place has proven right, with both the Mavericks and Thunder's lineups largely restraining the Spurs, and their hunger for victory is a little higher than that of the Clippers.

The defending champions have a similarly strong roster, but most three-time teams will experience a period of decline, and the Lakers' OK combination is like this, and the Clippers are not immune to the natural law of boom and bust.

San Antonio steals away advantage and then adds to the next city to now have a 95% chance of progressing to the Western Conference finals, and today they are aiming for their first home win to turn the score into a 3-0 scoreline.

The Clippers finished first in the West in the regular season, and the Spurs were only fourth, but after the first two trials, the Spurs were no longer afraid of their opponents, and for most of the first quarter, the two teams played inseparable.

In the opening game, the Clippers let O'Neal return to the starting lineup, but it was Billups who scored continuously for the Clippers at the beginning, he scored the first 6 points of the Clippers, and the Spurs were Ginobili to fight back.

In the first quarter, after the two sides tied 7, 9, and 11, the Spurs scored 7 points in a row, and the difference was slightly widened.

Ji Guoyi then bumped into Ginobili in defense and was whistled for a malicious foul, and the Spurs took the opportunity to turn the score into 21:10, and his uncoolness allowed the Clippers to be led by a large score on the road.

The Clippers' veterans stepped up again in a critical moment, and at the end of the first quarter, Maddy, who came off the bench, hit two three-pointers in a row, and Hill faked to shake off Kreza. Hit the shot. The Clippers closed the deficit to five at 18:23.

In the end, the two teams ended the first quarter with 22:27. The Spurs led by five points.

Ji Guoyi's performance in the first quarter was sluggish, with only 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and he was also taken off by Parker.

O'Neal, who returned to the starting lineup today, performed well, scoring 6 points and 3 rebounds, Billups had 6 points and 2 assists, and Maddie had 6 points and 2 assists.

Duncan had only 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, Parker had 8 points and 3 assists, and Ginobili had 8 points and 2 assists. Randolph had five points and two rebounds.

In the second quarter, the Clippers began to stabilize their position and gradually narrowed the difference.

Dragic hit both free throws and then assisted Maddy for a 3-pointer, Hill added two more points, and Jordan Jr. added the icing on the cake with a dunk to narrow the deficit to one point.

George. Hill and Neal responded in time, and the duo hit three-pointers from beyond the three-point line with the help of positioning screens to help the Spurs stabilize their position.

At 9 minutes and 40 seconds in the second quarter, Ji Guo's ass returned to the court before it was hot, but he didn't feel tired. This season, as long as he doesn't work both offensive and defensive ends, he won't be tired of playing the whole game. Ji Guoyi's athleticism and physical condition have reached the highest point of his career.

Ji Guoyi finally scored after coming on the court, and twice in a row used the strong side to block and dismantle to eat Blair and Split, these two are one soft and one short, Ji Guoyi's breakthrough threat was immediately brought into play, once the basket pulled the ball up, and a frontal bukkake made the Spurs' two substitutes disgraced.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Popovich replaced Blair with Randolph, the Spurs had this vicious black bear, and Ji Guo's shameful and fearful mentality of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard flared up again, and he began to use various fancy dribbling on the outside to try to shake off Split and attack from a distance.

Although Split is a little softer, his basketball IQ is not low, otherwise it would be impossible to play in the Spurs.

If Ji Guosha is strong on him head-on, it will be difficult for Split to resist the little fox's obscenity, but this kind of attack that only swayes does not have a big effect, Split knows that there is Randolph behind him to fill the position, and he is not shaken at all, his task is to defend and shoot.

Charles. Barkley smiled: "Jordan Jr. and O'Neal are not suitable for the fox brother, he is now somewhat similar to James, the interior partner needs to help him pull the defense out of the basket, so as to play his breakthrough threat, but Jordan Jr. and O'Neal are both players who are not a threat when they leave the penalty area, and they block the fox brother's breakthrough on the court." ”

Kenny. Smith also said: "That's right, but there are not many players who need to have mid-to-long-range shooting ability and defense, such players, such players are Vallejo of the Nets, Noah of the Bulls, Lefu of the Timberwolves, Ibaka of the Thunder, Randolph of the Spurs, Garnett of the Celtics, and there don't seem to be many other eligible players, and these are impossible to trade." ”

Charles. Barkley nodded: "So the Clippers can lower the conditions a bit, they already have Jordan Jr. with good defensive potential, and next season they can find an interior player with an outside basket and rotate it according to the game situation, or simply let Jordan Jr. develop mid-range, although I don't think it's very likely." ”

George. Hill broke through and responded with a shot under the basket, Randolph scored five points with free throws, Duncan came on the court and angrily dunked Jordan Jr. to score, and the Spurs launched a wave of 9:2 attack to lead by nine points.

Thunder. Allen didn't play much today, hitting his first 3-pointer just before halftime, but Parker scored on a series of breakaways to put the Clippers behind 44-50 at halftime.

Ji Guoyi and Lei Allen seemed to have the wrong stealth skills in the first half, and at halftime, the fox brother only got 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Maybe for others, this report card is already very good, but as the scoring champion Ji Guoyi, if he can't score 30 points in a game, it will be an unqualified performance in the eyes of fans, and getting 35 points is his normal level, and he can only be considered a good performance if he scores 40+, and he only scored 11 points in the half, which is obviously a bad performance.

In the rematch, the Spurs continued to dominate, Ginobili scored 5 points in a row, and the Clippers side was Billups who scored the team's first 6 points in the second half, but the Clippers still trailed by 7 points.

Ji Guoyi's state today is still not good, especially when he was slapped on the nose by Randolph during a breakthrough, and after seeing that he was red, the dead fox began to float on the outside again.

Randolph was shown a technical foul this time, and Ji Guozhi could continue to attack the basket and try to beat this dead fat man.

But Dead Fox was a little timid, and he gave the task to Iguodala and O'Neal to complete.

Iguodala breaks in a row. But only one foul was inflicted on Randolph. The Clippers failed to score in several rounds. The difference between the two teams came to 11 points, and the lethal tactics were obviously unsuccessful.

At the critical moment, Ray Allen unexpectedly dribbled to the basket and successfully made Randolph four fouls.

Ji Guo is ashamed to say that it is awesome, but this is nonsense, Lei Allen is 36 years old and has not been able to get a championship ring so far, so he doesn't care about his old bones at all. Where is he so spared?

Randolph was beaten down by the Clippers, and the Spurs' interior defense immediately couldn't withstand the impact of the Clippers, and after halfway through the third quarter, if Duncan hadn't scored 4 points in a row at a critical moment, the Spurs had been equalized by the Clippers, and they only led 62:58 at the moment.

The Clippers no longer dare to be careless today, but it is still difficult to overtake the score, Ji Guoyi's shooting rate of 6 of 16 shots must be blamed, today he only scored 2 goals under the basket, and the outside shooting has been playing iron.

Parker and Ginobili cheered on by the home fans. Helped the Spurs score 4 points in a row again, and the score was stretched to 8 points. Old Dunleavy could only call a timeout.

Popovich unexpectedly replaced Randolph after a timeout, not caring about the four fouls at all, and the Spurs are now tasked with widening the score gap as much as possible in the first three quarters, even if Randolph leaves the court after the third quarter, they still have Duncan to press in the fourth quarter.

Billups and Iguodala missed three-pointers, and the Spurs extended the deficit to 12 points in the final two minutes of the quarter, despite Ji Guoyi causing Randolph's fifth foul under the basket.

The Clippers were helpless against Parker and Ginobili's breakaways today, and Iguodala and Billups were suppressed by the Spurs' two international players today with a light and fast style of play, and the two failed to gain the upper hand as they did in the first round against the Lakers, which is a stylistic match.

Before the end of the third quarter, Randolph was indeed beaten to six fouls, but the Spurs managed to turn the score into 80-65, leading the Clippers by 15 points in the third quarter.

The Clippers were not willing to let the Clippers be left to their own devices, and the comeback in the fourth quarter was expected.

Ji Guozhi did not rest in the second half, and after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, the fox brother broke through the layup for the first offense, and caused Split to foul and score 3 points with free throws. Then he broke through on the flank, made a stop-and-shoot and shook Kreza, made a foul, and almost made a two-and-one.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Ji Guoyi scored 5 points in a row to narrow the score gap to 10 points.

The Spurs did not show panic in the face of the Clippers' counterattack, Ginobili broke through the ball and assisted Neal to hit a three-point shot, and the Spurs quickly stabilized the situation.

Ji seemed to wake up in the fourth quarter, and two minutes later, he hit a successful three-pointer against Duncan's defense, and then blocked Parker's layup on the defensive end, and the Clippers chased the score to 76:85, and the margin returned to single digits.

The Spurs relied entirely on GDP in the fourth quarter, with Ginobili and Duncan performing pick-and-roll combinations from the outside, and the Argentine used the cover to shoot a 3-pointer to bring the deficit back to 12 points again.

The two teams then locked in a 9-12 tie until the final five minutes of the game, when the Clippers suddenly stepped up their defense and began to press the Spurs all over the court.

The Spurs chose to use a long pass to crack the bag, and Ji Guoyi sent the block again with his super movement speed and still abundant physical strength, this time the victim was Duncan, and the fox brother pressed Duncan's dunk alive. Then he used his long arm to make a steal from beyond the three-point line, and countered to score two more points.

Ji Guosha finally broke out, and the Spurs fell into a scoring drought under the Clippers' full-court tight defense, and the score was quickly pulled to 84:89.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Popovich immediately offered a killer weapon - shark cutting tactics!

O'Neal performed well in the fourth quarter, Ji Guoyi attracted defense for him on the offensive end, and twice assisted the big shark to score under the basket, but once he encountered the shark slashing tactic, O'Neal couldn't do anything, and he could only look at his feel and luck today.

The Clippers and O'Neal were obviously unlucky, O'Neal only hit one of the four free throws in a row, but the Spurs hit a three-pointer on two offenses, and the score became 85-92.

At 3:05 in the fourth quarter, the elder Dunleavy replaced O'Neal, and the free throw shooting rate of the dead fat man made 2 of 6 shots expand the score gap to 8 points, and the Clippers could only choose to replace this guy who could never practice free throws.

Ji Guoyi's condition is still excellent, he has cut 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in this quarter, once the Spurs have no meat shield defense, Ji Guoyi's power cannot be suppressed. Randolph's importance to the Spurs is obvious, and while his defense isn't top-notch, he is just the right way to restrain players like Ji.

"I don't know if I can get this guy here, this dead fat guy is pretty good with me." Ji Guozhi suddenly had such a thought in his heart, Randolph has mid-range shooting and low-post offensive ability, and he can also play the role of a meat shield on the defensive end, and now his personality has improved a lot, he is already an excellent All-Star player, and he should instigate Ballmer to poach this black fat man with a high salary in the summer.
