In the final showdown, the Clippers changed their strategy, and Dunleavy Sr. instructed the team to strengthen the breakthrough and create damage.

Billups set an example for his teammates at critical moments, the 33-year-old Billups is still fast, and the breakthrough is still sharp, after blocking and dismantling with Ji Guoqiu, Billups accelerated to get rid of Marbury and Yao Ming, who delayed him, and made a foul on David Lee on the inside.

This is David. Lee fouled for the fifth time, and Adelman then replaced David Lee with Scola, hoping that the Argentine actor could use his awareness and fake fall skills to cause one or two offensive fouls to the Clippers in a critical period, which would have a very big impact on the Clippers.

Billups hit both free throws to make it 97-97.

Yao Ming was caught on the offensive end, and the Clippers tried different defensive methods in defending Yao Ming in this round of the series, but it generally only worked for one game, because the Rockets will definitely make adjustments in the second game. The two sides played the fifth game, and the Clippers' tactics such as going around the front, wrapping and wrapping in advance were all used, so the elder Dunleavy gave the Rockets a loop and re-circled the front.

And this time the circle is not over, Ji Guoyi is staring at Yao Ming on the other side, as long as the Rocket team passes the ball to Yao Ming, he will immediately return to the basket and make a sandwich cake with the giant panda, and wrap Yao Ming in front and back.

Scola answered at the free-throw line and hoisted the basketball to the basket.

Yao Ming received the pass, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that there was another face in front of him that was exactly the same as before he turned around, which would definitely be a hell if it was at night.

The little giant had no room for adjustment in this ball, and he forced his shot but was disgraced by the perverted Ji Guo, slapped it outside the three-point line, and fell straight into Battier's hand.

"Huh!" Battier's hand is up and down, and Ji Guoyi has a wonderful assist.

"Beautiful!" Yao Mingbei was covered with a big hat, he was originally unhappy, but when he saw that the disaster had turned into a blessing, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly slapped Ji Guoshi.

Of course, Ji Guozhi will not be angry so simply, the offensive end uses double cover to run out of the gap, catch the ball and shoot, the basketball draws a wonderful arc, and drills into the net with a "boom"!

The score is 100:100, many Rocket fans are happy, as long as the Rockets score more than 100, there will be a drama in victory.

Clippers fans scoffed at this, the Clippers scored more than 100 points, and the winning rate was higher than that of the Rockets, which symbolized that the Clippers were about to eliminate the Rockets.

Fans on both sides scolded one after another, and the domestic post bar once again launched an explosion action.

But in fact, the fans who really watch the game will not be so boring, after winning the game, the people who run to the opponent's post bar to provoke are all pseudo fans and primary school students, and the real fans will not only appreciate a star, nor will they insult the star of the opponent's team for no reason.

Yao Ming received a pass from his teammates on the offensive end again, this time the little giant had a heart, and immediately transferred it out after receiving the basketball, and he also played a clever trick and on a whim, he actually came to a back pass, wanting to unexpectedly pass the basketball out of the direction of Ji Guoqiu, and then give Battier a three-point chance.

He thinks that he didn't even expect this ball, and Ji Guoqiu definitely never imagined that he would play him like this.

Yao Ming was right, Ji Guoqiu really didn't expect Da Yao to choose to pass the ball from under his nose, but he didn't expect it, it didn't mean that he couldn't intercept it, telepathy made another miracle, Ji Guoqiu confirmed the direction of the basketball from the sight of the fox brother, didn't look at the ball, stretched out his hand, and the basketball bounced on his hand changed direction.

Crawford grabbed the basketball, turned around and played his own fast break, dodged Battier's defense, and scored the ball with a layup.

"it!" Yao Ming's expression instantly changed to a dynamic picture again, he couldn't have imagined now that such a witty pass of his own would actually be cut off, is this a human reaction?

"You're hanging, aren't you?" Yao Ming couldn't accept his mistake and the team was beaten into a counterattack, and the mistake at this critical moment was too demoralizing.

"Well, I have an ability, so you're going to die today." Ji Guoqiu replied lightly.

Yao Ming snorted: "Only fools believe it." ”

Ji Guo laughed and said, "That's why a fool asked." ”

Yao Ming was not lightly angered by the two, and the Clippers offensive end this time was the main Billups, and the double cover of the two brothers allowed Mr. Key to burst into the restricted area, and a small head got two points again.

"Beautiful!" Ji Guoqiu patted Billups on the shoulder, and Lao Bi was really reliable at the critical moment.

"In the Western Conference Finals, no one can stop us."

After Billups scored, he shouted encouragement to his teammates, and the Clippers were in high spirits, and Adelman quickly called a timeout.

With 5 minutes and 12 seconds in the fourth quarter and a score of 104:100, the difference was not large, and the elder Dunleavy continued to boost the team's morale and motivate the players to keep up the good work.

"We're pressing, we're forcing them to make mistakes, they're not going to be enough, let's see how much strength the Houstonians have." Dunleavy Sr. offered his best pressing defense, using the team's athleticism, the Clippers can often play a period of high-intensity defense at key moments in the fourth quarter, and if the opponent can't resist, it will definitely be taken away by the Clippers in waves.

Many teams in the league know that the Clippers are powerful, but they still always die on it, including the Spurs, Lakers, Celtics and other strong teams. And the core of the Clippers' tactics is the twin brothers, whose interior can perform high-mobility sweeps like the outside, and will not leak by pulling out to force the opponent.

After the game restarted, the Rockets almost made a mistake under the high-intensity pressing of the Clippers.

The attack was delayed by 12 seconds when Garcia's tackle sent the ball out of bounds.

The Rockets sent the ball in the front court, Yao Ming was tall, pulled out to catch the ball, and then moved the basketball to the far bottom corner in a large area, which looked like a tactic that had been practiced a long time ago, and Yao Ming knew that there must be his teammates there.

Battier catches the ball and shoots and hits another three-pointer. It was the second three-pointer of the quarter that Battier made and Battier didn't score much, but he was as reliable as Billups in key moments.

The Clippers attacked, and this time Billups and Ji Guoqiu played a block and passed the basketball to the disassembled Panda brother, and Ji Guoqiu scored two points from a 15-foot shot.

The Rockets suddenly found that they couldn't guard the Clippers from such a simple pick-and-roll combination.

Barkley blacked out old Dunleavy at the moment, and laughed loudly: "The Clippers finally thought that the Rockets are most afraid of blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, because they have the starting center with the worst defense and pick-and-roll defense in the league." In the first four games, the Clippers have not actively used pick-and-roll to fight the Rockets, and no one knows why. ”

Kenny. Smith laughed: "Maybe Dunleavy Sr. guessed that they would get the match point 3:1, and then use it in the most critical fifth game to eliminate the Rockets." ”

If the old Dunleavy knew that the two were so cynical about him, he wouldn't know how to react, but the situation of the Clippers is getting better and better, Billups and the two brothers take turns blocking and dismantling, which makes the Rockets helpless, and no matter how reliable Battier is, he can't shoot 3 or 4 three-pointers in a row like Kobe.

The reality is that under the high-intensity defense of the Clippers, it is difficult for the Rockets to score lightly, and they can't defend the opponent, and after two minutes, the difference has been widened to 6 points by the Clippers.

2 minutes and 40 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score was 111:105, the Clippers led by 6 points, Adelman used up his last long timeout, and arranged tactics or something, mainly to give Yao Ming a rest, the little giant fought for five games, and played another 40 minutes today, and the body was already strict and insufficient, just look at his running on the court, you can know that the little giant at this time is just doing a switchback run.

Charles. Barkley said: "Kenny, do you know what a superstar is? Superstars are those who play in the playoffs and must play more than 40 minutes per game. If he can't, then he's not qualified to be a superstar. ”

Kenny. Smith also said: "I know what you're trying to say, in a playoff game, the opposing star will definitely try to stay on the court, even play the whole game. The star on the other side can't respond if they can't stay on the pitch for the same amount of time. Yao Ming has averaged 38 minutes per game in the playoffs, which I think should be beyond his limit. Van Gundy said that Yao Ming's average time per game should not exceed 30 minutes, and once it does, it will affect his efficiency, and 30 minutes is a little far from 40 minutes. ”

The game restarted, the Clippers replaced: Billups, Garcia, Barnes, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu, and Dunleavy Sr. once again sent a defensive lineup.

The Rockets are replaced: Brooks, Marbury, Battier, Scola, Yao Ming, this is an offensive lineup, and the Rockets have no way out.

"Watch the three-point line." Ji Guoyi commanded his teammates to keep an eye on the defender, and it didn't matter if he gave the Rockets two points at this time, but he had to guard against the Rockets' three-point shots.

The Rockets did execute a three-point shot, but Brooks was defended by Garcia and the basketball grazed the basket.

"Rebound!"

The two brothers sandwiched Yao Ming under the basket again, and the little giant jumped up hard, but helplessly watched the four yellow arms all catch up in front of him, and the two brothers all jumped higher and faster than him, and there was no suspense about the ownership of this rebound.

Ji Guoqiu got the rebound from the dead fox and passed it to Billups quickly, and the Clippers immediately went on a fast break.

Old Dunleavy also saw that Yao Ming's body was not good, and told the animal brothers to attack quickly when they had the opportunity, and once Yao Ming's defense was slow, it would be five to four.

They have Billups to distribute the ball and are fully capable of using a quick-transition offense to kill the Rockets.

The Rockets players quickly retreated, and the result was not only five to four, but actually five to three, because Scola couldn't catch up with Ji Guosha, the Clippers instantly played more and less, Billups would not make a pass mistake at this time, Barnes received the basketball and directly dunked the ball with one arm, and also made Battier a foul, two plus one.

"It's over, it's over!" Rockets fans know that once even Battier is beaten to two and one, the damage to the Rockets' morale will be irreparable, and this is the player they will not make mistakes with.

Barnsga missed the free throw, but the rebounding Rockets didn't protect it, Ji Guoqiu's long arm grabbed in front of Yao Ming, who was tired of being a dog, and threw the basketball into the sky, and then the fox brother rose into the sky and dunked the ball into the frame with one arm, and the blow of this ball completely crushed the Rockets.

After Ji Guo fell to the ground, he roared in the sky, and the Clippers fans in the Staples Arena stood up and shouted "MVP", and the entire court entered a boiling state in the last two minutes, and the Rockets were completely disoriented in the deafening court, and the next offense was defended by the Clippers for a 24-second violation.

Adelman did his best and called the last timeout, but after coming back, Ji Guosha hit a three-point shot from the outside, and the Rockets could only surrender.

After Ji Guosha hit this shot, neither side scored after that, and the Rockets finally lost to the Clippers by 14 points 123-109, with a total score of 1:4, stopping in the second round. R1152
