"Old man, do you really think you can keep up with me? Wouldn't it be too naïve? ”

Ji Guoyi received the basketball on the offensive end, quickly passed it out, and used his off-ball running to find scoring opportunities.

Billups dribbled and broke through, handed the basketball to Ji Guoqiu, who was outside the cut, and made a no-ball cover for his fox brother on the baseline.

Jamison and Billups collided, and the latter didn't get knocked down, but just took a step back.

Parker hurriedly changed the defense Ji Guosha, and the fox brother completely treated the French as a non-existent zài, received the basketball and shot directly, easily hitting a baseline mid-range.

The Clippers' positioning cover is now not inferior to the Spurs, and perhaps their ability to move the basketball is still a little worse, but this can be completely compensated for by the Panda brother's amazing passing skills. The Clippers don't need the Spurs' cumbersome passing, they can pass the basketball into the enemy's hinterland with one shot, and the blow is lethal!

For example, the next offense of the Clippers, Ji Guoqiu received a basketball on the wing, a quick ground-hitting pass directly penetrated the entire defense of the Spurs, and the fox brother cut into the basket to receive the basket, and the layup caused Jamison's defensive foul and got two free throw opportunities.

In the second quarter, the Clippers' tactics remained unchanged, and they still focused on Ji Guosha.

The Spurs are the same, continue to defend against the fox brother, and if you have the ability, you will shoot me.

Popovich let Ji Guo get a high score, not just to bet that he can't kill the Spurs alone, but also to reduce the team's physical consumption on the defensive end.

As long as the Spurs players know where the ball is, the defensive range will be smaller, and the number of assists will be less, and the old guys will have more body to attack.

If you want to win in the playoffs, of course, you have to fight defensively. But that was Spurs a few years ago. Now they can't defend anymore.

That's the embarrassing status quo for Spurs. obviously has the league's top defense, but they dare not use it in the Western Conference Finals, because their batteries are not enough to maintain an offensive and defensive style of play, so they can only choose "offense" and "defense".

How to choose, it is also not up to the Spurs to decide, the Clippers are now the team in the league that can do both offense and defense, and the Spurs can only choose whether to attack or defend according to their opponents.

So how to choose, analyze it to know. If they fight with the Clippers defensively, even if the Spurs defend better, they don't have the energy to score more points than the Clippers on the offensive end.

If you want to win the game, it depends on who scores more points in the end, so the Spurs can only choose to fight for offense, and at the same time find a way to limit the offensive firepower of the Clippers.

Naturally, this method cannot be used by brute force, but can only be outwitted.

Popovich is now praying to God that Ji Guosha's state must be good today, but he must not "explode". It's better to stay up and down so they have a chance to win this game.

"You're alone? They won't help you at all. I've got 20 points, have you seen that? ”

Ji Guosha continues to provoke Jamison on the offensive end, as long as the opponent's mentality is unbalanced, it is not impossible for him to get 50+ in this game.

He has scored 60+ in the regular season, but the weight of 50+ in the playoffs is heavier, James has done it this season, and he can't be compared.

"Watch out for your dog's legs."

Jamison said viciously, and the response was small, but it was heavy.

Of course, this is not Jamison's own idea, he doesn't know this kind of trick, this is the method that Duncan specially taught him before the game, as a psychology master in the NBA, Shi Fo knows that if you want to deal with a slut like Ji Guoyi, you should come directly with him, and you can't be polite to him.

Even if Jamison didn't really do this, if he had to let it out first, he might have scared the dead fox.

Ji Guo was stunned and almost missed the ball.

Although the "catch" on the basketball court is not as important as on the football court, once the ball is not received well, it will definitely affect the next shot.

"Bang!"

Ji Guoyi's next shot was really affected, and he smashed on the basket and popped high.

"Mine!"

Ji Guoqiu shouted again, but was bumped into by Duncan from the side and lost his balance.

Although he didn't hit the street this time, he naturally couldn't grab the basketball.

Duncan also lost his balance, and Jamison grabbed the rebound.

"Referee, you haven't seen it yet?"

Ji Guoyi was extremely dissatisfied with this referee, although he knew that the league wanted them to play seven games, because the series ratings of the Spurs and Clippers were very high, although not as good as last year, but it was also a relatively high rating in the past ten years.

"Do you have an opinion?"

When the referee heard this, his tone was not good, if he didn't know that this dead fox was now favored, he would have replaced Pierce and Duncan or something...... A technical foul has long been smashed over.

Ji Guoyi wanted to say to the referee at this time: "Don't be arrogant, you kid, I have a good relationship with your boss." ”

But if he really said that, he would probably be directly punished, so he could only turn around and run back, too lazy to deal with this damn referee.

"I don't understand what godfather means, if we are out, then what is there to watch in the finals?"

Ji Guozhi didn't feel at all how shameless it was for him to call his godfather so directly, anyway, he had done even more shameless things.

"I don't know, but this guy hit me twice and pushed me once, and the referee didn't give a penalty, which is really unreasonable."

Ji Guoqiu was very angry in his heart, how had he been bullied like this in the past?

"Duncan, this old boy, in order not to be eliminated, actually used so many indiscriminate plays, thanks to Lao Tzu who was still his fan in his last life."

Duncan's desire to win today in his eyes can no longer be described as exuberant, and he is about to breathe fire. Don't look at the stone Buddha, it seems that he never cares about the number jù or something, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't care about honor either. It's impossible for any superstar not to care about accolades, and even if he already has three rings, Shi Buddha still has a boundless desire for a championship.

On the offensive end of the Spurs, Duncan received the ball in a low position, turned around and feint, and did not shake off the panda, but was still annoyed and angry Ji Guoqiu on his waist.

Duncan's face did not change, but he still forced a turn to shoot, and a precise wing shot scored two points.

"Toot!"

Ji Guoqiu's small actions were caught by the referee this time, talking about these small actions on the court. He knew what to do. But the effect of use is incomparable with Ji Guosha. After all, he has too little actual combat experience, and he usually disdains to use these shady tricks to win, so it is difficult to hide from the referee's eyes.

"Alas, he's jumped up and shot, you don't have to top your waist anymore, you will definitely be discovered by the referee, you should get off the black foot and kill this bastard!"

Ji Guoyi shook his head at the small movements of the giant panda. At this level, how can Yin people?

"Under the black feet, will it be too heavy? He just nudged me twice. ”

Although Ji Guoqiu has a black belly, his character is still very passable, and he doesn't want to really hurt his opponent.

The Clippers attacked, and Ji Guoqiu took the initiative to ask for the ball this time, and he wanted to give Duncan some color to see.

Billups passed the basketball into the interior very happily, but the Spurs were very faceless, don't look at Ji Guo's shame that the ball was not covered, but the other players of the Clippers got the basketball. The Spurs will immediately wrap up and force you to hand over the basketball to Ji Guoyi.

Ji Guoqiu had no way to continue the offensive in the face of the bag. Only the basketball can be passed back to Billups.

Billups didn't stop the ball, and then passed Ji Guosha, and the Clippers returned to the routine of letting the fox brother play alone.

Old Dunleavy saw what the Spurs meant, but he couldn't help it, Ji Guoyi's offensive efficiency was not low, and he had no reason to make changes.

In the face of Jamison's defense, Ji Guoyi made two tentative steps in a row, and suddenly started to break through to the inside.

Jamison stepped to follow, Ji Guosha stopped and changed direction, flashed out of the air and immediately jumped to shoot......

"Huh!"

Ji Guosha hit a stop-and-go jump shot and scored his 22nd point.

In the second quarter, in the eyes of the fans of both teams, Ji Guosha attacked wildly, and the number of shots increased sharply, and he played more than the boss.

At the end of the first half, Ji Guoyi's number of shots had risen to 19, which was a bit terrifying, accounting for almost 4% of the Clippers' shots.

With so many shots, Ji Guoyi was not scolded for making too many shots, his shots were all in a one-on-one situation, and there were no forced shots like 1v2 or even 1v3.

As a superstar, Ji Guozhi has a lot of shots in one-on-one situations, which is a normal thing, and there is nothing to hack.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 60:54, and the Clippers led the Spurs by six points.

Ji Guoqiu had 7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, Ji Guoqiu had 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups had 6 points and 5 assists, Crawford had 15 points, and Afflaro had 5 points.

Duncan had 18 points, five rebounds and two assists, Parker had 10 points and four assists, Jamison had 14 points and three rebounds, Finley had six points and Bonner had five points.

Popovich was happy with the result, losing by five points in the first quarter to the Clippers and only one in the second, and if they continue to do so, they still have the body to play in the fourth quarter and try to play an offensive wave to turn the deficit into a victory.

In the first half, the team's physical consumption was not too large, and this is what Popovich is happy with.

At halftime, Dunleavy Sr., as the coach of the leading team, was interviewed by the media.

"In the first half, we didn't do as well as the first two games in terms of rebounding, and Fox's table showed that he was one of the most lethal players in the league, and I wanted him to stay that way in the second half. Our problem was on the defensive end, and we had the Spurs play their offense as well as our own. In the second half, we need to strengthen our defense, limit the Spurs' offensive efficiency, and limit Duncan's play. ”

The elder Dunleavy actually knew Popovich's thoughts, but he did not change the layout of the first half at halftime, since Popovich thought that letting go of Ji Guosha could make the Spurs win, then he bet that Ji Guosha could kill the Spurs.

'We did a good job in the first half, we need to work harder defensively, we let Spurs score too many points, and if we can limit Spurs in the second half, the final win will be ours.

Dunleavy Sr. wants players to work harder defensively, and unlike the Spurs, the Clippers have no problems physically, and they shouldn't let the Spurs also score close to 60+ points in the half.

Both teams did not make much adjustment at halftime.

The stakes have been staked, and the coaches of both teams can only look at the players' tables.

Among them, how Ji Guoyi plays will determine the victory or defeat of the two teams.

Ji Guoyi, the client, didn't have so many ideas, his mind was full of 50+ tasks.

Since Popovich didn't trap him, Ji Guoyi decided to let this old man regret his decision, getting 50+ is the best way to slap his face, and he wanted to let Spurs know - if he didn't trap himself, the consequences would be very strict. (To be continued......) R1292
