Chapter 537: Panda Abuses Vegetables
The third quarter was 3 minutes and 40 seconds, and the score was 75:78.
Under the blow of the murderous Duncan, the Clippers inside had already completely handed over the lead of 6 points in the first half, and at this time they were three points behind.
Ji Guoqiu 9 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 33 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Billups 12 points and 6 assists, Crawford 15 points, Afflalo 5 points.
Duncan had 31 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Parker had 12 points and 6 assists, Jamison had 17 points and 5 rebounds, Finley had 8 points and Bonner had 5 points.
Unconsciously, Duncan's score was almost the same as Ji Guoyi's, and the Spurs naturally became the leading side.
Ji Guoyi made a total of 25 shots today, hitting 12 times, including 8 three-point shots, 3 hits, and 6 free throws.
Duncan made a total of 18 shots today, hitting the same 12 and making 7 of 9 free throws.
Today's Duncan is undoubtedly insane and terrifying...... But no matter how crazy and terrifying it is, it's time for him to rest...... Popovich has ordered Thomas Sr. to come out and prepare to replace Duncan, who scored 13 points in the third quarter.
The Spurs attacked, and the 20,000 home fans were chanting Duncan's name at the moment.
The two brothers passively switched positions this time, and Ji Guoyi faced Duncan again.
"Fox, I heard that this era is yours, so what about now? Do you still think I'm old? ”
Ji Guoyan was half angry when he heard this, and he never thought that Duncan would say this.
"Damn, it's mine, what can you do!"
Duncan didn't answer, suddenly turned around and pushed Ji Guosha, forced a breakthrough to the basket, and made a quick low-handed layup......
"Smack!"
Ji Guoqiu rushed back to the basket from the weak side, stretched out his big hand, and sealed the basketball thrown by Duncan on the rebound, and then took it directly into his hand.
"You're not old, but times have changed."
Ji Guoqiu was beaten a lot in this game, but he can still return to the basket to help defend the block alive, and Duncan's offense this time has obviously hit the basket, but he has no strength to jump and dunk.
Duncan was speechless, if this ball was a jump dunk, Ji Guoqiu could only get one foul.
But at this time, he really couldn't jump.
Duncan was hatted by Ji Guoqiu, and Popovich knew that it was time to replace him and rest.
The elder Dunleavy also made a substitution adjustment, he replaced the fox brother and left the panda brother on the court.
Ji Guoqiu finally started attacking at this time, and his score had stopped at 9 points for a long time.
Old Thomas had a grudge against Shangji, and Brother Panda was released at once.
First, with a low-post hook, Ji Guoqiu expanded his score to double digits.
Then on the offensive end, he grabbed the frontcourt rebound that his teammates missed, and Tongguò scored two points again with a rebound.
After Duncan left the game, the Clippers only took one minute to overtake the score, and it was Ji Guoqiu, who was suppressed by Duncan, who helped the Clippers launch this wave of offense.
Popovich was furious, if they couldn't withstand the Clippers' offense during this time, Duncan's magical appearance today could only be used as an embellishment for the Clippers to win, wasting a wonderful game for Shi Fo.
Billups and Ji Guoyi went off the court together, Parker felt a lightness like Ji Guoqiu, and Dragic's pressure on the defensive end was not as high as that of Mr. Key.
But on the basketball court, there are times when you really don't understand why some players are in a situation where they are in a confrontational situation.
Dragic meets George. Hill, the table is very wolf, but when he meets Parker, who is stronger than Hill, Dragic is very good, this situation is really difficult to understand.
When you go to school, the person you are afraid of may be bullied by your classmates who are not afraid, and this phenomenon often occurs, and it is the same on the basketball court.
Dragic was not afraid of the French, but he was afraid of running into Georges. Hill, I'm afraid even Dragic himself doesn't know why this is happening, it can't be because he and Parker are both international players, right?
But whatever the reason, the reality is that Dragic hit a three-pointer on Parker's head soon after he came on the court, giving the Spurs a hard blow.
Popovich was angry when he stood on the sidelines, but he had no place to vent his anger.
Dragic hit a three-pointer and gained confidence, and the defense interfered with Parker's shot.
Ji Guoqiu jumped up to get his 9th rebound, and the Clippers immediately launched a counterattack.
Dragic dribbled to the front court and handed the basketball to Ji Guoqiu, who followed up.
Ji Guoqiu received the basketball, did not stop to observe the position of his teammates, and brought it directly to the basket, his breakthrough attracted all the defensive attention of the Spurs, thinking that Ji Guoqiu was going to attack the basket by himself.
The Spurs players narrowed the defense, and Crawford ambushed outside the three-point line to receive Ji Guoqiu's shot inside, and immediately jumped to shoot and hit his second three-pointer of the game.
Popovich walked to the sideline and called a timeout, Duncan was less than two minutes off the court, and the Clippers scored 10 points in a row, playing a wave of 10-0 climax, and the Spurs were about to collapse.
At 1 minute and 50 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 85:78, and the Spurs went from leading by 3 points to trailing by 7 points in a blink of an eye.
The Spurs fans at home were all quiet, from leading to falling behind, from seeing the hope of winning to being overtaken in an instant, the whole process happened too fast, they tried hard to chase the score back for a quarter, but the Clippers only took less than two minutes, and the huge contrast between them made Spurs fans unacceptable.
The media and reception are also lamenting that being young and energetic is really different, what the Spurs can do in most of the quarter, the Clippers need two minutes to do, and what is more frustrating than such a reality?
After the timeout, the Spurs players only felt a sudden strong feeling of fatigue in their bodies, and they didn't want to move anymore.
That's why coaches don't want to call timeouts at certain times, they don't want players to react to physical fatigue, so don't think that the coach must be an idiot if he doesn't call a timeout at a critical moment, they think far more than the fans.
After the timeout, no Spurs players could step up and score, and when Duncan came off the court, it seemed that the Spurs would not play.
Mason's three-pointer at Dunday. Jones's defense hit the iron, and Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound; Jamison made an outside shot and hit another iron angrily, and Ji Guoqiu got another rebound; Parker broke through to the basket and was almost blocked, and Ji Guoqiu got the rebound.
Ji Guoqiu took three rebounds in a row after a timeout, and hit a mid-range shot on the offensive end, and his personal number quickly became beautiful.
Brother Panda is like a spring that is pressed hard by Duncan, Shi Buddha is on the field, no one can hold him down, and the Spurs' inner line is turned upside down by his rebound alone.
In the last attack of the third quarter, the Spurs possessed the ball, and the score had become 87:78, and the difference came to the red line of 9 points again.
The Spurs used their experience to pass back-to-back basketballs and finally found an open space, and Jamison received Parker's delicate ground-hitting pass under the basket.
Ji Guoqiu wanted to come back to make up for the defense, but it was too late, and in a hurry, he yelled at Jamison: "Give me down!" ”
Jamison didn't have any problem shooting directly, but as soon as he heard Ji Guoqiu's angry shouting, he suddenly remembered the scene when he was blocked by Ji Guoqiu last time, and he made a movement in his hand, and he didn't go to the basket for the first time, but looked back first.
It was this moment that gave Ji Guoqiu enough time to return to the defensive basket.
Not only did Ji Guoqiu return to the basket, Amir. Johnson also rushed back to the basket, and Jamison faced the double bag under the basket and never had a chance to shoot again.
The sighs of the Spurs fans rang out, they couldn't figure out why Jamison didn't shoot directly under the basket with such a good unguarded opportunity, was it undercover?
Jamison couldn't shoot under the basket and couldn't find a pass space, so he was stunned and was blocked by an offensive three-second violation.
The Spurs' mistake gave the Clippers three seconds to attack, and the Clippers had one last chance to attack.
The elder Dunleavy took the opportunity to replace Ji Guoyi on the court, and Popovich did not replace Duncan, which may have been a mistake by the Spurs coach.
The Clippers had only three seconds to attack this time, but they still allowed the two brothers to find a shot.
Ji Guoqiu served in the front court, directly passed an advance amount, and sent the basketball to the fox brother who came out with the help of the cover.
Ji Guoyi rested off the court for three minutes, his hand feeling was not affected, he took a step to the side after receiving the basketball, dodged the shooting space, and immediately jumped out of the ......
Jamison was blocked by Barnes' off-ball screen, and when he pounced, he could no longer make an impact on Ji.
"Huh!" The basketball drew a beautiful rainbow and fell straight into the net.
The score was 90:78, Ji Guoyi successfully scored a whistle goal, and the moment the basketball fell into the basket, the timer also lit up with a red light.
The referee raised his hand and held out three fingers, and the goal was valid.
Ji Guosha screamed after landing on the ground, jumped up and waved his arms fiercely.
This goal was very crucial, and Ji Guoyi's three-point shot officially activated the "Clippers Rule".
The Clippers went into the final quarter with a double-digit lead and haven't lost so far except in last year's playoff game against the Greens.
Everyone knows what that means, the Clippers players will have more confidence in the fourth quarter, the Spurs will definitely be demoralized, and it will be difficult for them not to win the game.
Even regardless of the influence of the "Clippers Rule", they entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point lead, which was a very big advantage in itself.
In the final quarter, the Clippers didn't even need to score many points, as long as they scored a dozen points, they could seal the win.
If they score 20 points, the Clippers will basically win, which is obviously not a difficult task for them, just look at their numbers......
Ji Guoqiu 15 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyi 36 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Billups 12 points and 6 assists, Crawford 18 points, Afflalo 5 points.
Duncan had 31 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Parker had 12 points and 6 assists, Jamison had 17 points and 5 rebounds, Finley had 8 points and Bonner had 5 points.
Although the Spurs' starters are not inferior to the Clippers, almost no one on the bench has stepped up, and the highest score is actually Bonner, which can be imagined as the reason why they are behind, Crawford alone has scored more than all the Spurs' benches combined. R1152
