Chapter 329: A Wave Takes Away!
Duncan was injured, and the rest of the Spurs were already unhappy, and at this time, the group of people from the Clippers actually wanted to let them hurt another big general!
That's a bit too much!
But fortunately, Qin Yan was physically strong, not only was he not injured by Butler, but he also hit two beautiful balls in a row with full firepower!
This is what the Clippers themselves did, they all say that the mourners will win, what are you doing to tease the Spurs at such a juncture? Isn't it unpleasant to find yourself unhappy!
Moreover, Qin Yan still used Griffin's tricks to break through Griffin's defense head-on, which is really a shame for the Clippers' two major interior lines.
Even his best and favorite air combat can't get a bargain from Qin Yan, so how can he fight this game?
And Qin Yan's outburst also opened up the firepower of the other members of the Spurs who had been silent for a long time, and the other members of the Spurs, who had been holding back for half the court, could finally fire happily!
After the start of the third quarter, the other members of the Spurs who had not yet received the news of Duncan's injury opened up one after another, not to mention the two "hanging kings" of Ginobili and Qin Yan, who took turns to lead the team, all of them rushed into the interior of the Clippers again and again with chaotic steps, and then threw themselves into the sky, throwing the basketball to the basket at various incredible angles!
Of course, not every goal can be scored, but if they can't score, the two of them have to pull the opposite person into the water, and a foul will definitely not run.
Moreover, after these two guys broke through to attract the defense, those guns on the outside had a chance to come out, Green three, Bonner two, Maddy two, Mills one, Dior one, and the five three-point muskets in the Spurs bench hooligans threw in nine three-pointers in one go in the third quarter! He scored 27 points on three-pointers alone!
This is completely the rhythm of a wave, not to mention that Qin Yan and Ginobili scored 18 points together with sudden penalties! The Spurs scored a shocking 45 points in the third quarter!
45 points in a single quarter of the playoffs! This has already broken the Spurs' own team history!
The Spurs' previous all-time playoff scoring record was 43 points, set against the Nuggets on April 27, 1983 and the Suns on May 23, 2005. (Later, he scored 43 points against the Thunder on May 1, 2016, but because the book was still in 2013, he didn't include this in the text.) )
45 points in a single quarter! It's not that the Clippers don't want to resist, but they simply can't! Although Paul is very brave, but in the case of his teammates' confidence has been broken, Paul can't fight against the Spurs when he is alone, his 10 points, 5 assists and 3 steals in a single quarter are good enough, but unfortunately he was ruthlessly drowned in front of the Spurs' record-breaking 45 points!
At 45:28, the Spurs slaughtered the Clippers by 17 points in a single quarter!
Directly sank the Clippers in the third quarter!
Wave after wave of massacre!
By the fourth quarter, the Clippers were already depressed, and the generals had no intention of fighting, so they almost wrote on their faces that I was going to give up......
Paul looked at a group of teammates around him who had no intention of fighting, and his heart was infinitely broken, these people really couldn't be brought with him......
The fourth quarter of the game was already garbage time, all the main players of the Spurs had been withdrawn, and Qin Yan also retired directly after playing for two minutes in the fourth quarter.
Anyway, the triple-double of 20+10+10 has already arrived, and the team is sure to win, and Qin Yan does not plan to play more on the court.
When the Clippers saw that the Spurs had withdrawn even Qin Yan, they immediately understood that the Spurs didn't want to kill them all, so they also replaced Paul, who was struggling to support, Paul's 25+15+5 data today is luxurious, but what's the use? Except for him, no one else on the team played as well as they should, except for Crawford who also made a few three-pointers from the outside, Griffin just started well, and the rest of the people basically played soy sauce......
Alas, one god with four legs, this kind of lineup can kill people......
I felt sorry for Paul for three seconds, but there was no way, the Clippers lost this game was a foregone conclusion......
However, for the Spurs, winning or losing this game is no longer important, Uncle Duncan's injury is the most important.
So it's very embarrassing, the Spurs obviously won more than a dozen points and almost 20 points, but a group of people on the bench were covered with towels and black faces, and then after the Spurs scored a substitute goal on the field, a group of people were expressionless, and even the applause was listless......
People who don't know look at this situation and think that the Spurs are more than ten or twenty points behind......
Oh, by the way, it seems that the Spurs have always been like this, when the team is a lot ahead, the group of people on the bench have a look of "no love".
On the Clippers' side, Paul lowered his head and didn't speak, today was a very good opportunity for the Clippers, the Clippers had a great advantage after Duncan's injury, but under the crazy leadership of Qin Yan and Ginobili, the Clippers' offense quickly retreated, and the defense was full of holes, and the interior line had already paid too many fouls.
Not only can't the inside line be blocked, but the outside line is also messy, and the Spurs' outside artillery is crazy on the outside, which can simply sink the Clippers! There were no surprises in the final result, and the Clippers lost the first game by a full 15 points!
This is also a fiasco, and the Clippers have not met to meet their hometown fathers. However, after the game, the whole Spurs team was depressed, because Duncan's injury still did not come out.
At the press conference after the game, Popovich still had a black face, after all, Uncle Deng's injury had not yet been reported, although the team won or lost, but the old man still had a "I am very unhappy" expression.
Reporters also asked questions one after another:
"Mr. Popovich, how is Duncan's injury?"
"Mr. Popovich, although we won today's game, will Duncan's injury affect the rest of the game?"
"Mr. Popovich, what do you think of the Clippers' game today?"
……
"I'm sorry, I don't want to answer such a question right now, and we'll tell you as soon as we hear about Tim's question." Popovich had a black face and put down such a sentence directly.
On the Clippers' side, the coach also smiled bitterly, today was such a good opportunity, but the team did not seize it, and now the Spurs have a mourning situation, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to win another victory at home.
Qin Yan didn't talk much at the press conference, he was thinking about a question, if Duncan is injured, can this year's playoffs be played out as historically?
But just then, a Spurs official rushed over and whispered something in Popovich's ear......
