The Clippers fielded their starting lineup today: Chauncey. Billups, James. Posey, Ron. Artest, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

Jazz starting lineup: Delon. Williams, Kyle. Korver, Andrey. Kirilenko, Carlos. Boozer, Memet. Oku.

After the two teams came off the bench, Dunleavy Sr. looked at the Jazz's starting lineup and secretly guessed what the hell Sloan was going to do today?

"This lineup, do you want to bet three points?"

The elder Dunleavy guessed well, Sloan put on a set of outside lineups today, just to shoot the Clippers on the outside, and see if the Clippers players dare to shrink in today?

From the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, the two teams began to battle wits and courage, and the Clippers used a very targeted contraction defensive strategy to stifle Boozer's offense under the basket and Delon well. The threat of a Williams breakthrough. So in the third game, Sloan saw the move and was ready to increase the firepower outside the three-point line to make the Clippers pay, but the Jazz's change of tactics was really a last resort, and relying too much on the three-point shot in the playoffs is not the style of the previous championship team, which is a dangerous gamble.

"With your undignified three-point shooting percentage, you still want to kill us with a three-point shot at Staples Field?" Old Dunleavy suddenly laughed when he saw Sloane's formation, he didn't think Sloane's change of formation was a smart decision, and he would die faster.

The Clippers didn't change on the defensive end in the first quarter (as usual, they used contraction defense to deal with the Jazz first, and if the opponent made accurate shots from beyond the three-point line, then spread them out appropriately; if they didn't shoot accurately like in the first two games, everyone knew it. An eighty-percent win in this game would still put the Clippers in the bag.

The Jazz are still using the tactic of rushing in today. However Delong. Williams' breakthrough today. And Boozer's strong play on the inside is a cover, and they ambush Kyle on the outside. Korver, Memet. Oku, and Andrei. Kirilenko is the real killer! Delong. After Williams passes out of the basketball, he will also quickly move outside the three-point line, and the Jazz are equivalent to four players who can shoot three-pointers on the outside.

In the first quarter of the game, the Jazz's tactics were clearly successful, they hit five three-pointers from seven shots in the first quarter, and Boozer also warmed up inside, and the Jazz led the Clippers by five points at the end of the first quarter.

The score is 26:21. The Clippers felt particularly bad in the first quarter, they only shot one of five three-pointers, and they relied entirely on the two brothers to take turns attacking the basket to score points. The three starters of Posey and Artest did not hit a single three-pointer, relying only on Thiem, who came off the bench. Thomas hit a three-pointer.

The reason why the Clippers felt bad in the first quarter is naturally unknown to the commentators and media who broadcast live around the world, but the old Dunleavy and the Clippers players know why, except for the mobilization of Sterling's bastard before the game, there can be no other reason!

I don't know if this damn old bastard is undercover, which makes the Clippers players and fans even more angry. This Grande saw that the team was in a good situation, and he didn't even give out half a pack of throat lozenges before the game. This bastard is almost eighty years old, why don't you hang up yet?

'We don't have to be too nervous, we all know that a team that relies on three points can't have a good feel for the whole game, so in the first half we focused on defending and expanding the defence. The elder Dunleavy didn't see it well, and decisively asked the team to expand the defensive line outward: "This is our home court, you can use tough defensive moves to affect their shooting touch." Remember, in the first half we defended, and in the second half they went down, and that's when we counter-attacked. ”

Dunleavy Sr. adjusted his game strategy after the first quarter of the game, and when he saw that his players felt average, he immediately changed the first half of the game to defense.

The Clippers players are taking the lead, knowing that the team that shoots from the outside is the easiest team to be overturned, and even if they are 20 points ahead, it only takes a quarter to recover the deficit once they get off the beaten foot.

However, in the second quarter of the game, the Jazz players continued to have a good hand in the first quarter, and their hot hand was heating up.

The Clippers played a three-two defense in the second quarter, and it stands to reason that the Jazz should have put the offensive focus back on the interior at this time, but they didn't do it, and the excellent touch made the Jazz players prefer to force shots on the outside, as long as they can shoot, they don't plan to change the way they attack.

The three-point rain in the Staples arena was still falling, and the Jazz made 9 three-pointers from beyond the three-point line in the second quarter, hitting 7 of them, which means that the Jazz made a total of 16 three-pointers in the first half, and actually hit 12 of them, and the Jazz players hit an amazing three-point shooting percentage today.

The score was 60:45, and the Clippers trailed by fifteen points at halftime under the Jazz's precise strike.

The Jazz's three-point shooting against the sky can't be defended at all, and any team encounters it is a result, unless their three-point shooting is as explosive, and now only 15 points behind is considered a good defense of the Clippers.

Dunleavy Sr. changed his team's tactics midway through the second quarter, and now that the opponent has been favored by Lady Luck, they can't hold it and simply start attacking the opponent. It's a pity that the Clippers' own feel is just the opposite of the Jazz, 10 shots from beyond the three-point line in the first half, only hitting 3 shots, if the twin brothers didn't continue to control the rebounds, the Clippers may have trailed by 20 points in the first half.

Ji Guoqiu got 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half, Ji Guoyi had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, Billups had 5 points and 3 assists, Artest had 5 points, and Mobley had 8 points.

Deron Williams had 15 points and five assists, Boozer had eight points and five rebounds, Oku had 10 points and three rebounds, Kirilenko had 10 points and Kyle Cavour had nine points.

At halftime, Sloan was interviewed as the coach of the leading team, and the Jazz coach said: "We spent a lot of energy on how to get the Clippers inside in the first two games, they gave us a lot of outside shots, and it seemed that we couldn't take advantage of these scoring opportunities, and today we have to take advantage of those gaps and let them suffer on their own home court."

In the home dressing room, Dunleavy Sr. shouted at the players: "Do you know what it means to return to the past? Jazz is now coming back to the light, and they swallowed the aphrodisiac. That gave them a fifteen-point lead in the first half. But the lads. We need to know. The effect of the aphrodisiac swallowed by the Jazz will not last the whole game, as long as we are not defeated by them, they will definitely be destroyed by the side effects of the aphrodisiac they swallowed in the second half! ”

The elder Dunleavy Sr.'s voice was categorical, and such a tone gave the Clippers players some fighting spirit.

Ji Guoyi said with a lewd smile: "I understand what the coach means, Jazz is equivalent to taking viagra now, at most they can only hard in the first half, and they will turn back to their soft egg nature in the second half." And it will be softer than before. ”

The Clippers players laughed, and the NBA players liked to hear such meat jokes, and many people in the upper class thought that they were inferior, and of course those who thought this way would not be high themselves.

After halftime, the Clippers fans were less vocal in the second half, and the Clippers fans were indeed inferior to Utah fans in this regard, and the atmosphere in the Energy Center court was not like the Clippers fans until the final quarter, when the Jazz were irretrievable.

The morale of the Clippers fans was a little low, but the Clippers players were scrappy.

The second half of the game changed dramatically, starting with the third quarter. The Jazz pitchers seemed to be blinded by flashbangs, hitting just one of eight three-pointers in the first quarter. This was the turning point of the game, and the Jazz have been in a slump ever since.

Ji Guoyi broke out from the outside in this quarter, shooting 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, and both Boozer and Oku were helpless against this outburst little fox.

After the end of the third quarter, the score was 74-74, and the Clippers recovered a 15-point deficit in just one quarter, which was even more fierce than their last game, and the Jazz seemed to be stunned in this quarter.

The Staples Center was shocking, the Clippers were like a rainbow, and the Jazz players were dejected.

was moved back to 15 points in the first quarter, such a blow was unbearable for the Jazz players who were already down 0-2. The Jazz's brilliant touch in the first half made them think they would pull one back on the opponent's home court today, but now it looks like a bubble from their previous thoughts.

Coach Sloan kept encouraging his players after the third quarter, hoping to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the Jazz players, but in such a situation, even if he could spit lotus, it did not help the Jazz players' depressed will, especially in the cheers of the Clippers home fans, although the score in front of them was a draw, the Jazz players seemed to have seen the result of the loss.

In front of the Clippers bench, it is a different scenery, in the case of a tailwind, the players do not feel tired at all, people will have a certain effect of ignoring fatigue in the excitement, and in turn, the players in the headwind will feel their stamina loss at an accelerated rate, look at the Jazz players panting violently there, you will know how this acceleration is done.

"Well done, now that the situation has turned in our direction, little fox, what should I say now?" Old Dunleavy asked Ji Guoyi.

Ji Guoyan thought about it when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "We are the champion team, and the champion team will not give the opponent a chance to breathe, go up and kill them directly!"

Old Dunleavy smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fox is right, let's kill them in one go!"

In the fourth quarter, the twin brothers and most of the main players sat on the sidelines, and in the third quarter, they played almost the entire quarter in order to tie or even overtake the score. The Jazz players on the opposite side are the same, so the old Dunleavy is ready to let the main players rest for a few minutes in the fourth quarter, and the Jazz on the opposite side will not return to the court faster than them.

Sloan wants the Clippers' main players to rest a little more off the court so that the Jazz's main players can get enough rest time to follow.

The second echelon of the Clippers once again played the role of grabbing the head, after the old cat Mobley came on the court, he played his small and agile characteristics, and the old cat was not inferior to the usual No. 1 player in the ball control ability, facing the Jazz bench who was a little depressed, the old cat's performance in these three games was far better than the last series against the Spurs.

The Jazz's main defense is really good, but the bench is much worse than the Clippers, and the old cat's singles can cause fatal damage to the Jazz, including the big brush Thomas The damage to the Jazz is also not light.

At 8 minutes and 20 seconds in the fourth quarter, the elder Dunleavy first replaced his main interior line, and the twins were already recuperated after a ten-minute break, and their abundant physical strength could benefit the Clippers in the playoffs, and few interior players could play 40 minutes like them and still be energetic.

With a score of 82:78, the Clippers bench has already overtaken the difference by four points.

Ji Guoqiu 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Ji Guoqiu 26 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist, Billups 7 points and 5 assists, Mobley 15 points, Artest 9 points.

Delong. Williams 25 points and 5 assists, Boozer 10 points and 5 rebounds, Oku 12 points and 3 rebounds, Kirilenko 10 points, Kyle Brown. Korver 9 points. (To be continued......) R1292
