On November 16, with the Clippers' victory over the Warriors, the defending champions had unknowingly won six in a row.

The other Los Angeles team also enjoyed their long-awaited first win of the season in Game 8 of the same day, with the Lakers beating the Detroit Pistons at home to claim a timely victory from the declining Motor City. Many Lakers fans couldn't help but shed tears of excitement after the game, it was not easy, the Lakers finally won!

The Lakers' victory was really not easy to come by, and the 1-7 record still made everyone laugh, but it made the Purple and Gold, which had lost seven in a row, finally breathe. The team has been losing streak before, and the team is under great pressure, especially every time they lose at a critical stage, it may not be related to the huge pressure. The more Lakers players want to win, the more likely they are to lose the game when it comes to critical moments.

The Clippers are still too lazy to care about so much, the second-to-last guy is still a long way away from them for the time being, the Clippers who have won six in a row have jumped to first place in the West, and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East are both 8-1, and now most fans have begun to look forward to the matchup between the Clippers and the Cavaliers, but this will not meet until December.

On Nov. 18, the Clippers continued their home tour, this time against the San Antonio Spurs, who were second in the East.

The Spurs finally welcomed an All-Star this year, Antoine. Jamison has been selected for the Dream Team and an All-Star Game, averaging over 20+ points per game in his career, playing incredibly consistently and barely missing games due to injury. Jamison can shoot three-pointers on the court and attack in the low post, can defend players in the third or fourth position at his peak, and has outstanding defensive awareness, such a star power forward at the No. 4 position who can play 40 minutes per game and is almost uninjured is a perfect match for Duncan.

Since he is such an excellent power forward, he deserves a championship ring, and Jamison himself thinks so, so at the last peak of his career, Jamison categorically took a salary cut and chose to join the San Antonio Spurs, hoping to get the ring he expected.

Spurs have added Antoine this season. After Jamison's strong reinforcement, many fans took the opportunity to ridicule the Lakers, which means that looking at the F4 combination of the Spurs, there is no run-in problem at all, 7-1 is only temporarily ranked second in the West because of one less game, which is called the real Big Four.

The Lakers have been ridiculed so badly this season, and it has a lot to do with the Spurs, both teams are superstar configurations, but the Spurs do not have the slightest run-in problem, so the discussion comes and goes, there is only one reason why the Lakers' luxury combination has become a laughing stock in a row, and that is the problem of Kobe, the core of the Lakers.

Many people take the opportunity to hack the boss, and their reason is that Duncan can partner with any interior player, but Kobe Bryant has to accommodate a star like Gasol to make a difference, and Peter Pan and most other stars are difficult to work with. In terms of ability, no one will think that Byron created the miracle of the Black Eight. Davis is not as good as Jamison, the difference is in the object of their thighs, and that's the problem.

However, the Lakers' problems are not on the consideration of the two teams for the time being, and Popovich seemed to be in a good mood at the pre-game press conference, and it is no wonder that they are unhappy that they have picked up an All-Star interior player this season. The Spurs boss was confident about the game, saying: "Last summer, Jamison had the opportunity to join another team, but he liked the atmosphere, he wanted to play here, and we will use the championship to reward him for making the right choice." ”

Tim. Duncan was also full of praise for the partner, saying: "Antoine is the kind of player who can influence the course of the game, he always brings offensive help and energy to the team on the court, and his ability to play inside and out makes our game more three-dimensional, and today we are going to beat the Clippers, they won four games last season." ”

Popovich said in his heart, why don't you open a pot, is it a psychological tactic?

Parker also said of Jamison: "Antoine always stepped up when the opponent kept Tim, Manu and me from attacking, he helped the team play the offense they needed, Antoine was always very steady, he brought steady support and solid defense to the team. ”

Ginobili, who was unable to play due to injury, said before the game: "They are already a championship team and will definitely be ready at home, but this time, I believe you will see a completely different Spurs than last year, and the Clippers don't want to beat us lightly." ”

On the Clippers' side, Ji Guoqiu, who just won a Player of the Week award, said before the game: "They're better than last year, I'm going to be more careful and I'm going to pay more attention to Tim's new partner, but I'm not going to be shy because of that, my brother and I will still play very aggressively and make ourselves a problem for them." ”

In an interview before the game, Ji Guoyi said with a smile: "You ask me if I'm worried about the Spurs' new interior combination?" Haha, of course I'm not afraid of them, don't talk about the Big Four, the Big Five we've all doubled up, and I scored 100 three-pointers in a row at home yesterday, so they'd better be careful today. ”

The reporter at the bottom said that you should blow it badly, this kind of nonsense is only a fool to believe it!

The Spurs just played a half-game with the hapless Kings on the road yesterday, and the reason why it is said to be a half-time is because the Kings, who were played bad by the two brothers, did not recover at all after returning to Sacramento, and surrendered in the face of the second Western resistance in less than half a game, and after being ravaged by the Western boss, they were made a 30-point fiasco by the Western second.

Although the San Antonio Big Four are back-to-back away today, the Spurs won easily in the last away game, and there is no problem with the Holy City Army group today, and the Clippers may be disappointed if they want to take advantage of this, and this game is not easy to play even in Staples. Perhaps the only good news is that Ginobili is still unavailable, and Argentina will not be able to return until at least around the All-Star break, after Argentina has suffered a bald knee this season.

"Last season we were able to sweep them, this season they are still not our opponents, they are a year older, let's go up and kill them!" Dunleavy Sr.'s pre-game mobilization was very arrogant, and the Clippers players took the orders one after another, and after a ghost cry in the home team's locker room, the Clippers players played first.

Before the start of the Spurs season, in fact, their initial goal was to snatch Artest, but the annual salary of 10 million made Popovich retreat, and the Spurs coach felt that 8 million was an acceptable price, but 10 million was too expensive, and as a result, he was hesitating and was taken by the Thunder.

However, they lost the east corner, harvested the mulberry elm, Artest, they didn't get it, but they got a more powerful Antoine. Jamison, it's definitely a blessing or a curse.

Tim. Duncan + Antoine. Jamison, Popovich finally has the confidence to kill the twin brothers this time, the biggest reason why they were blacked out last season was that Duncan was hard to beat with two fists on the inside, but this year Shi Fo has an excellent partner, look at how the Clippers rely on crowds to fight.

Spurs starting lineup: Toney. Parker, Roger. Mason, Michael. Finley, Antoine. Jamison, Tim. Duncan.

Clippers starting lineup: Chauncy Billups, Aaron Afflalo, Francisco Garcia, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

The Spurs' starting lineup this season is flawed in the second and third positions, especially since the beginning of the season Ginobili was absent due to injury, many people are ready to watch the Spurs' jokes, because they finally filled the hole in the inside, but there was a problem on the outside.

However, this problem has now been alleviated to a certain extent, and every year Spurs dig up a few scraps in the garbage heap and turn them into treasures. Roger. Mason, an obscure player, is a perfect example of this, with Ginobili out on the sidelines, and in the recent game against the Lakers, it was the little-known shooting guard who beat the luxurious Purple and Gold. Mason has also become the biggest discovery for the Spurs in the new season.

The Clippers don't care about that, the NBA has a few such players every year, most of them are short-lived, and few of them really suddenly become stars or even mainstays.

The two brothers knew better about this Roger. Mason is indeed a flash in the pan, except for playing well with the Spurs this season, and then returning to the level of the water cooler patron, who knows what caused his outburst this season?

The Spurs were menacing today, but they didn't start the game well, including this Roger. Mason and Antoine. Jamison, the whole team only hit one shot in the first five minutes, and was hit by the Clippers as soon as he came up with a 10.2 start, which is the end of not saving character, who called the Spurs players so arrogant before the game.

Popovich didn't stop roaring from the second minute of the game, and the Spurs boss certainly had reason to be angry, even shouting at his players directly from the sidelines: "You guys are playing like a ball of shit!"

The Spurs played less than halfway through the first quarter, and Popovich had already called two timeouts in a row, although he couldn't see or hear what he was saying pointing at the Spurs players, but as long as you looked at his expression that was already a little trembling with anger, you could guess what the Spurs players would be sprayed by the old coach.

Midway through the first quarter, Ji fell into the Spurs' carefully prepared foul trap, and the Pandas fouled continuously, which gave Duncan and Jamison room to play, both of whom are interior players with excellent basketball IQ and skill, and they have many ways to score even if they don't feel good.

Ji Guoqiu committed two fouls with five minutes left in the first quarter, and the Clippers only had one fox left, facing two interior All-Stars and their pit partner Jordan Jr., of course, the little fox could not go against the sky, and the Clippers were scored five goals in a row by the Spurs in a blink of an eye, and the score was quickly reversed.
