Billups suffered from the Spurs' key defense, and Ji Guoyi had a lot of singles opportunities.

This time he faced Duncan's defense, and there was no problem in choosing to break through, but unfortunately he and his teammates didn't feel good, and the only thing with an excellent hand was that Billups was surrounded by the Spurs, which made the Clippers' scoring efficiency never go up.

Although Ji Guoyi has a bad hand, he still gets some free throws by breaking through, and occasionally scores a goal or two, and his personal data has been increasing.

Seeing this, Popovich sat down on the bench calmly, he was afraid that the Clippers would play an efficient transition offense, and the scoring speed of that offense was so terrible that even a 20-point lead was not safe. But the last thing he's afraid of is the Clippers using individual offense to chase points, even if this person is the scoring champion.

The Spurs coach has a clear mirror in his heart, and with Ji Guoyi's scoring speed, he is not worried that the Clippers can catch up with the nearly 20-point deficit. Now as long as Ji Guoyi doesn't hit three points in a row, he doesn't plan to make any changes, even if he is brushed out of a 40+ or 50+ by this fox, it is nothing compared to victory.

Ji Guoyi finally got rid of it today, the game came to the fourth quarter, his personal data was getting better and better, but he couldn't score consecutive points to narrow the difference, and the Clippers couldn't play an attack wave, chasing points like a snail.

The Spurs defense continued to open up the mid-range in the fourth quarter, focusing on the restricted area and the three-point line.

Popovich has been putting mid-range shots to the Clippers today, didn't the Los Angeles Times say that the Clippers have turned their offensive zone inside and outside the three-point line this year? That's right, they let go of the mid-range, and the main defense is the offensive area that the Clippers are good at.

This kind of targeted defense is also the reason why Ji Guoyi can't feel hot today. It is true that he has rarely trained in the middle distance this season. Today's high shot percentage was low. With Duncan and Randolph on the inside, the only way to do this is to try to shoot a three-pointer.

The Spurs' defense of the Clippers' three-point shot has a lot of holes, but Ray. Allen didn't feel good today, Billups was focused on defense again, and only Ji Guozhi was left on the outside, but his three-point shot today was also very average.

The score was 5 minutes and 40 seconds in the fourth quarter, and the score was 72:90.

The elder Dunleavy saw Ji Guoyi lose 3 three-pointers in a row, so he simply replaced Iguodala with Maddie. The latter's three-point shot is extremely unreliable, and the team now needs to chase points, no matter how well it defends, it is useless not to score.

Maddy became the wonder of the Clippers today, Travis can't stop Maddy, although the 32-year-old former star of the Clippers has declined in athleticism, but his skills and experience are still there, in the face of Travis, he first made a foul and almost hit three points, and then attracted the bag to assist Ji Guosha's aerial relay dunk, which really became two plus one.

Popovich started chewing gum again. The Spurs also offered Maddy a veteran contract in the summer, and they were too impressed with the sleepy bug back then. As a result. The Spurs are naturally despised, their thighs are no longer thick, and they can't compete with the Clippers at all.

Today's game originally made Popovich very happy and made you look down on the Spurs, how about now?

But it didn't take long to be happy, Maddie came to the Spurs as soon as he hit the Spurs, and they were a little embarrassed in the second quarter, and now this guy with half eyelids seems to want to do something bad?

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Spurs quickly called a timeout, ready to cool off Maddie's hand.

Popovich didn't make much arrangement, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have the manpower, he couldn't defend Billups with heavy troops, and he had to take care of Maddie, right? Isn't the fox brother undefended?

Ji Guoyi has now scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, which shows that he has been scoring.

Popovich is now a little worried, a superstar like this tends to explode at the last minute of the game, in case Ji Guosha jumps out of the pit, the blow to the Spurs is not as simple as losing an away game.

The live broadcast camera finally left the two heroines and gave it to the balloon star.

Maddie's expression in the camera is very serious, as if he really wants to do something.

The big screen at the scene duly released the miracle of Maddie's 35 seconds and 13 minutes that year, and the Los Angeles fans in the arena, under the leadership of the on-site commentary, neatly shouted "Mcgradytime", that is, "Maddie's moment".

Popovich and the three elders of the Spurs heard the voice, and turned their heads to the big screen, the pictures played on it and the shouts of the fans at the scene made the faces of these four people look ugly, this is the biggest shame in the history of the Spurs!

Popovich was so angry that he threw another piece of gum into his mouth, and he didn't know if he could chew it?

Ji Guoyi glanced at the time, he didn't dare to play with fire anymore, seeing that Maddie was in such a good state, after the game restarted, he first used the breakthrough to attract the defense, and then immediately passed the basketball to Maddie, using himself as a bait to create one-on-one opportunities for Maddie.

Maddie is only 32 years old this year, he doesn't feel old at all, Kobe Bryant, who was with him for a while, is still at his peak, but he is regarded as a cancer by the whole league, and he can only come to the championship team with the veteran's basic salary, while enduring the plummeting status, and on the other hand, he has to be ridiculed and hugging his thighs, how can he be willing?

Today is a great opportunity to prove themselves, how many points are the Clippers trailing right now?

The answer is: 13 points.

Maddie received the pass, O'Neal had pulled it out early, and the two had a textbook blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, Maddy got an open shot opportunity outside the three-point line, and all the fans saw the ecstatic calves again, as well as the picturesque shooting posture.

"Huh!" The basketball hollow fell into the basket, and Maddie scored his 13th point of the day, which was still the luckiest number for him.

Popovich was extremely dissatisfied with Travis's easy disposition, stepped into the court with one foot, opened his mouth and was about to spit on Travis, but he forgot that he had stuffed three pieces of chewing gum in his mouth, and in a hurry, he didn't take it in his mouth, and spit a large ball of white gelatinous material directly onto the court.

"Mr. Referee, he's spitting!" Ji Guozhi happened to see Popovich's embarrassment, and immediately jumped up and pointed at Popovich and shouted, with a smile on his face.

The referee on duty was also crying and laughing, and the coach spit out chewing gum into the stadium, which was the first time he had seen such a thing.

There are rules in the NBA that coaches are required to take technical fouls when they enter the court during a game, but the average referee will not take it so seriously.

Popovich prefers to put half of his body on the pitch to direct the team, and most referees turn a blind eye.

But now spitting gum into the stadium, whether intentionally or not, the referee can no longer turn a blind eye.

"Toot!" Popovich was scrambling to pick up the gum when he received a technical foul from the referee, and he was so angry that he wanted to throw the gum in the referee's face again.

The fans who watched the game laughed miserably, and the big screen and TV were repeatedly showing the embarrassing image of Popovich crouching down to pick up chewing gum, which was a rare sight.

Later, what made fans feel even funnier was that this piece of chewing gum was too sticky, and a large lump stuck to the floor and couldn't be picked up.

Popovich soon got his hands covered in sticky gel, like Spider-Man.

Ji Guoyi was so happy that his stomach hurt on the field, and he squatted on the ground holding his stomach.

Duncan covered his face on the court, but the camera still caught him snickering, and it is rare for Shi Buddha to show such an expression in the game.

"Don't laugh, this is a delaying tactic, you are all fooled." Ji Guoqiu's black belly psychology doesn't think it's an accident, he thinks it's an accident deliberately created by Popovich, the purpose is to disrupt Maddie's feel, what the Spurs are most afraid of is Maddy's convulsions, Popovich's delaying tactic is really timely.

"Damn, you're thinking too much, aren't you?" Ji Guozhi didn't have such a big brain, he felt that the dead panda must have thought too much.

Whether Popovich did it on purpose or not, the accident caused the match to be suspended for five minutes.

Anyway, this piece of chewing gum is really hard to clean, and the staff of Staples Arena tinkered with the floor for a long time before finally cleaning up the gum.

Ji Guoshame hit a free throw for the Clippers, but in the next offense, Maddy's hand didn't know if it was too cold, and two shots were off the basket, which made Popovich on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief.

"Damn, it can't really be intentional, right?" Ji Guoyan also began to doubt, although he still felt just now that Popovich would definitely not pay the price of a free throw and an offense for some bullshit delay, and if the difference in points directly became 5 points, it would really be his own death.

But this accident really benefited the Spurs, Ginobili was invisible most of the time today, but he was like an assassin, he always jumped out at critical moments and drove big, and a wave of output made the Clippers anxious.

In the last four minutes of the game, the gap was narrowed to 9 points by the Clippers, and Manu stepped up again, and the inside and outside blossomed to expand the difference to 14 points.

Maddy's hand was gone, and Ji Guoyi continued to attack with the ball at the last moment, and this time he finally played the role of the core of the team, scoring 6 points in a row to help the Clippers bite the score.

But just letting the score stick will not let the Clippers win, Ji Guoyi's outburst came too late, but Ginobili's outburst came in time, and the dead fox already knew in his heart that it was going to be planted today.

Dunleavy Sr. called a timeout, but was still unable to stop the Spurs' offense.

Ginobili had just finished his big move, Parker caused Ji Guosha and O'Neal to foul in a row, and the French sports car made consecutive free throws to fill the Spurs with four more points.

The game was delayed so long that before we knew it, the score was still 88:99, and the Spurs firmly maintained the difference at about 10 points.

The Spurs reused their defensive strength to deal with Ji Guoyi at the last moment, and the fox brother did not break out again, and the final score was 93:102, and the Clippers lost the game by 9 points.

Ji Guoyi played 42 minutes in this game, scoring 44 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals

Staples Arena failed to repeat Maddy's moment today, and Popovich managed to stop the Spurs' second tragedy with a piece of chewing gum. (To be continued......)
