Griffin turned into a griffin to guard the Clippers' interior line, which made the Spurs a little helpless for a while.

In Paul's absence, Griffin, at last, came up with a bit of a messianic feeling.

After Maddy's throw was deflected off by Griffin again, the Spurs had to call a timeout.

"Coach, is there a way to break through Griffin's defense?" Parker asked the coach as soon as he got off the field.

"......" Popovich is also a little helpless, even if he can send troops to set up, he can't do anything now, who would have thought that after the convulsive version of Crawford on the opposite side, a divine beast version of Griffin could emerge.

This unexpected situation is beyond Popovich's control, Crawford has already given Popovich a bit of a headache just now, but fortunately he has a defensive ace at his disposal, so he will not be at a loss.

But what Popovich didn't expect was that Crawford, who had finally frozen the convulsions, didn't expect Griffin to suddenly burst out, and this guy seemed to have the feeling of becoming an Optimus Prime on the defensive end and a griffon in the paint area.

It's not easy to get it, although there is still a defensive ace in hand, but this trump card, Leonard's classmate is an outside line! You can't expect him to defend Griffin on the inside!

Besides, Griffin is not fierce in offense right now, but invincible defensively, and the Spurs need someone who can break through Griffin's defense, and with Leonard's offensive ability, it is absolutely not enough.

Hey? Wait a minute.

Popovich's gaze circled over the disciples on the bench, and he seemed to remember something.

It seems, it seems, probably, once in the regular season, Qin Yan seemed to have defended Griffin!

At that time, the team didn't have Whiteside as an inside jumper. Qin Yan had to go to the inside to defend Griffin, and with his strong strength, Qin Yan did not suffer a loss in defending Griffin.

If you look at it this way, if you let Qin Yan and Griffin match each other again, it seems that it can be okay, Qin Yan is not short of attack power, and should be able to break Griffin's seemingly invincible defense.

"Qin, next, you go to the opposite Griffin, I need you to break his defense with your attack!" Popovich made up his mind.

"Huh? What? I'll go? Qin Yan was a little surprised when he heard the news, "Coach, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"No kidding, Patty goes up to control the court, Manu goes to the shooting guard position, Danny goes to the small forward position, Qin goes to the power forward position, and Tiago plays the center position." Popovich laid out the lineup in one go.

"Qin is responsible for breaking Griffin's defense, as long as you can break the defense and open a way for the team, I will allow you to use your tricks as you like." Popovich is also ready to amplify the move. "As soon as Qin opens a road, everyone follows and goes inside! Hit the inside, make a foul on Griffin or Jordan Jr., send them down to me! I'm going to see who else can stand up for the Clippers after they're beaten down! ”

Popovich waved his tactical board, and the old man still felt that it was better to win this game directly, otherwise there would be many dreams at night.

Qin Yan could only accept this arrangement, but he just complained at the beginning, after all, Griffin was not defenseless, and the last time he was against Griffin, Qin Yan still had a little advantage!

It's just that Griffin seems to have opened a defensive map now, and Qin Yan's attack just now was interfered with by Griffin flying over from a distance.

This...... It's really troublesome.

Qin Yan scratched his head, there is no way, if there are conditions, if there are conditions, if there are no conditions, you have to bite the bullet.

After the timeout, the Spurs' new lineup came on, and the Clippers were a little stunned when they saw that Spurs were playing center on the Spurs' side.

This is your uncle, why is he again!

Of course, the Clippers were very unhappy, especially Griffin, who also remembered Qin Yan's defense of him in the regular season.

In that game, Griffin was quite aggrieved during the time period when Qin Yan was defending, because the two were basically flying in the sky, and Qin Yan ruined Griffin's empty opportunities again and again, making Griffin quite faceless.

However, this day is different from that day, that day is Griffin attacking, Qin Yan defending, and today is Griffin defending, Qin Yan attacking.

Qin Yan didn't receive the ball soon after he came on the court, because time was running out in the second quarter, and their lineup came up to drag on for a while.

So when they got on the court, they spent more time on the run, then used the pass to avoid Griffin's defense, and then shot in the open space to score.

On the Clippers' side, Griffin is also suddenly obsessed with defense and doesn't want to attack, but because he has a greater deterrent, Griffin can also create opportunities for his teammates and then let his teammates score.

So the Clippers and Spurs started a tug-of-war, and the score was maintained at a very small margin, unable to catch up, and unable to pull away.

And the duel between Qin Yan and Griffin, which has attracted much attention, did not appear for the first time until the last attack in the second quarter.

In the last 20 seconds, after passing the ball to Qin Yan, Mills and others gave full play to the good character of "selling teammates", pulling the rest of the Clippers far away, so that Qin Yan had space to go head-to-head with Griffin.

Griffin saw Qin Yan take a few steps up after receiving the ball, so that his defensive field moved up and covered the top of the three-point arc.

Qin Yan stood still holding the ball at the top of the three-point arc, different from entering Griffin's defensive field by accident just now, this time, Qin Yan was going to face this pressure, and he felt that the air touched by the tip of his nose seemed to be solidifying.

"This guy" Qin Yan shook his head, if he really wanted to throw, Qin Yan was still sure that he would not let him cover it, especially this kind of whistle ball.

When the timer time was left in single digits, Qin Yan moved!

Cross the body forward, press the center of gravity down, shake it, and then throw it backwards!

Qin Yan quickly completed a set of moves, but when he lowered his center of gravity and shook people, he still stepped into Griffin's defensive field! Of course, there is not much time left at this time, and there is no way to step into it.

Qin Yan, who leaned back and made his move, suddenly felt a dark cloud rise in front of him, and this dark cloud directly blocked Qin Yan's sight!

"What the hell? Can he jump so high? Qin Yan was a little incredulous, it stands to reason that Griffin shouldn't have this level of bounce, could it be that after opening the "map defense" plug-in, Griffin's "panel attributes" can still be improved?

However, Qin Yan is not easy to bully, he forcibly withdrew his hand to shoot, Qin Yan drew a big circle on his chest, and then before falling, his arm stretched out as much as he could, drilled through Griffin's armpit, and then threw the ball with a flick of his wrist!

"You can't stop it now." Qin Yan is very confident in his hand, and he believes that even if Griffin turns around and blocks now, he can't catch up with his ball.

"Who said that?" Griffin looked at Qin Yan in the air, and then his right hand suddenly thrust behind him with lightning speed! Just listening to the sound of "pop", Griffin's actually covered this shot that he had never even seen the action and trajectory of the shot without looking back, just by feeling!

"I'm going to go! That's fine, too! Isn't this an open hanging?! Qin Yan looked incredulous, the opening and hanging were all like this, how could this Nima fight.

And Griffin is now blocking a big explosion, counting the one who just covered Qin Yan, he just covered five hats in the first half! This kind of efficiency is the rhythm of planning to score points, rebounds, and block triple-doubles today!

When the half-time whistle sounded, the first hard encounter between the two old enemies, Qin Yan seemed to have suffered a small loss......
