The Clippers led by 16 points into the second half, and Yang Rui began to show off his ability to arrange the lineup, without arranging complex tactics, and still started in terms of player rotation.

Tyson Chandler, who didn't play a minute in the first half, came out to defend Duncan, and partnered with Draymond Green on the inside, which became another clever move, and the Clippers' defense strengthened.

The Spurs are desperate to chase points, but they lack strong scoring points, and Fournier was not bad in the regular season, but his statistics dropped in the playoffs, and his performance was not as good as Ginobili. He's inexperienced, he's poor, and he needs time to improve.

Therefore, the Spurs are still dominated by the GDP combination most of the time, and Leonard is rarely responsible for holding the ball, waiting for an opportunity to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

Chandler's defense has deteriorated, mainly because his confrontation ability is not as good as before, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and he can still play a role against Duncan, because he learned from Duncan to lose weight, and Duncan is also very thin and can't crush him with strength.

Chandler does a great job of defending his position, interfering with shots, and protecting rebounds in the backcourt, while Draymond is good at blocking and pick-and-roll, and he will not be easily passed against guards, and he also has a set of defensive baskets.

Draymond has a very good sense of defense, great strength, and can resist people, and his only weakness on the defensive end is his height. On the offensive end, Draymond can pull out to organize passes, catch and shoot.

Draymond did the job Yang had set for him perfectly, hitting two open three-pointers in the middle in the third quarter. Yesterday when he practiced, he mainly practiced shooting in the middle, and he didn't have to do anything else, so he opened up to help his teammates create opportunities. In addition to scoring, he also dished out two assists, one for a running Curry to shoot a three-pointer and one for an open cut Guy for a layup.

Someone online posted on Draymond's Facebook page that he was too short. He replied, "My heart is bigger than those big guys." ”

Another comment said he couldn't shoot, and he replied, "Whenever I need to shoot, I can shoot it." ”

He's such a guy, he's trustworthy, and his style of play is what the Clippers need right now.

The Spurs are gradually unable to withstand it, they are no match for the Clippers, and even more so against the laws of physics.

In the second consecutive series of tie-breaks, except for Parker, the other two people in the GDP combination were bored. Duncan grabbed a frontcourt rebound, relied on Draymond's second offense, and threw the basket very close to the basket, and slapped the floor with his right hand when he returned to the defense.

With seven minutes left in the final quarter, the Clippers led by 24 points to seal the win. Yang Rui has always paid attention to defense in the second half, and it is impossible for the Spurs to reverse such a point difference, since he joined the Clippers, a reversal of more than 20 points has never happened.

After Curry was educated by Yang Rui, he began to play steadily, and he didn't play any tricks when passing. The core is still like this, others are more careful, and the overall number of turnovers of the Clippers is controlled in a gratifying position.

At 118-96, the Clippers advanced to the Finals for the third consecutive year with a total score of 4-3.

Curry shot 11-of-19, 5-of-11 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 30 points, four rebounds, eight assists and two steals. The Spurs didn't let Leonard defend Curry all the time, and he was always powerful against defenders, off-ball screens misplaced to break through inside, and also created opportunities for his teammates.

Middleton finished with 19 points, four rebounds and four assists on 8-of-14 shooting and 3-of-6 three-pointers.

Parsons finished with 18 points, six rebounds and four assists on 7-of-10 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws.

Griffin didn't shoot much, shooting 6-of-9 and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

On the Spurs side, the GDP combination is a dumb fire together.

"Stone Buddha" Duncan still showed fatigue after all, shooting 7 of 17, 2 of 2 free throws, only 16 points and 8 rebounds, 41.2% shooting, no assists.

Parker was even worse, playing 28 minutes, shooting just 4-of-13 from the field, 1-of-1 from three-point range, finishing with nine points, one rebound, four assists and four turnovers.

Ginobili shot 4-of-11, 0-of-3 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

The only player the Spurs had was Leonard, who finished with 24 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals on 8-of-13 shooting, 6-of-9 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws. Even if Leonard played at a super level, he averaged 17.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in the entire series, shooting 61% from the field and 58% from three-point range, but he couldn't help the team win.

When the final whistle blew, the Spurs veterans had ugly expressions, and although they didn't cry, they didn't feel good in their hearts. If you can't win a championship this season and your GDP is a year older, it will be even harder to win the championship in the future, unless you trade for big-name stars.

Popovich walked onto the court and shook hands with Yang Rui, with a serious expression, without saying a word, and left quietly.

In terms of arranging tactics, Popovich obeyed, but he was reluctant to talk to Yang Rui, and he didn't have the slightest feeling of sympathy, even if Yang Rui didn't eat snacks on the sidelines.

Chinese tend to age slower than foreigners, and people like Yang Rui, who have a lot of money and are well-nourished, appear younger, obviously he is 40 years old, and he still looks like he is in his early thirties. This alone made the white-haired Popovich feel very unhappy, Yang Rui has a chance to win the championship in the future, but he has few opportunities.

Popovich is a recognized coach in the league, and even he will be jealous of Yang Rui. He couldn't imagine how many honors Yang would receive if he coached the Clippers until he retired at the age of 70?

There are still 30 years to go, the Clippers are located in Los Angeles, and with a historic coach like Yang Rui on the team, it is easy to attract big-name stars to join......

At the press conference, Yang Rui praised Curry. "Stephen is the best point guard in the league, he already has the temperament of a leader, he knows what he needs to do on the court, he can make adjustments when he doesn't go well, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in the Finals."

The reporter asked: "Middleton has been playing better and better this season, and he played well today, is there anything you would like to say?" ”

"Middleton can't be proud right now, he's going to keep working and I'm optimistic about him becoming an All-Star in the future, I said that last summer, and I don't think he'll let everyone down."

Yang Rui is full of confidence in the second leader of the bucks in his previous life, and it is not difficult to cultivate into the best 3D if he continues to develop like this.

Yang Rui also praised the veterans of the Spurs. "I can't believe the Spurs veterans have played in this series, I didn't expect to qualify in such a tough way, they were really tenacious. To win the tie-break, in addition to tactics, the Clippers are winning young. You know, Duncan and Ginobili are about the same age as me. If they have enough energy, the outcome is unpredictable. ”

The media have reported the results of the Western Conference finals, and Griffin expressed his disappointment, looking at the data, he was similar to Duncan in the whole series, but looking at the game process, Duncan played a bigger role than him. Some of such Griffins are not worthy of the title of the number one active striker.

Online, fans began to discuss the finals that night. The team that was eliminated from the tournament will soon be forgotten, and no matter how beautiful the game is, the Spurs' journey will end here.

Chinese fans have expressed concern about the future of the tennis team, and it is difficult to win the final, as long as it wins, the gold content is super high. Because Yang Rui led the team to play several finals, except for 2008 against the Celtics, they all won. If Yao Ming hadn't been injured that time, the Lakers would probably have won five consecutive championships.

With such a record, there are still many people who are optimistic about the Clippers in the finals. The Nets lineup does not seem to be worse than the Clippers, and expert analysis shows that as long as the Nets players stabilize their mentality and play to their own advantages, they have the hope of winning the championship, with a win or loss of 46.
