The first win did not make the Clippers take it lightly, the game was played more anxiously for most of the time, if it wasn't for the second quarter of the game, Erniu led the team to increase the score in a wave, and it was not so easy for the Clippers to harvest G1.

The Spurs' team looks paralyzed regardless of whether they win or lose, so it is difficult for others to guess what they really think at this time.

Anyway, Popovich was quite calm at the press conference, and it seems that losing G1 did not make the Spurs lose confidence.

On the Clippers' side, Thibodeau didn't mean to wag his tail after the game.

After analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the defense, the first assistant coach said that he would continue to strengthen the team's defense in the next game.

G2 will be played in two days, and the Spurs will change the formation first:

C Thiago Split

PF Tim Duncan

SF Danny Green

SG George Hill

PG Tony Parker

Starting with two point guards, the Spurs' transformation came as a surprise to many fans.

Before the game, most people guessed that the Spurs would change lineups, and most of them guessed that they would put Ginobili in the starting lineup, but they never expected that Popovich would put the two point guards on the court together.

The Clippers did not change their starting lineup and continued to use their familiar lineup.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams fell into a hand-to-hand physical confrontation, and the two defenses combined to send 11 fouls in the first quarter, which were evenly divided according to the head, in addition to the starters, the substitutes were counted to score enough points.

In particular, Erniu actually received two fouls in the middle of the first quarter, which undoubtedly disrupted the rhythm of the Clippers' normal rotation.

At 14:15, after the ugly first quarter, the Clippers maintained a slim lead.

In the second quarter, both sides accelerated their offense, each with their own wins on the offensive end.

For the Clippers, the bad news is that Ruan Erniu received his third foul in this quarter, and the good news is that Deng Dudu and Brother Dick also received their second foul in this quarter.

Thibodeau didn't dare to take the risk, and only let Erniu play for 4 minutes in the second quarter, and then left the game early to retain his physical strength, although the energetic Manniu didn't need to rest at all.

The score was 31:32 in the first quarter, so at the end of the first half, the Clippers led by 2 points, 45:47.

In the third quarter that decided the direction of the game, Ruan Erniu successfully controlled his fouls, and Ruan Erniu, who did not have a single foul in this quarter, not only sent three blocks in a single quarter, but also caused Duncan and Dior to commit their third fouls in the game.

Thomas Jr., who came off the bench, also made a contribution at key moments, scoring multiple baskets and winning the battle with Ginobili.

If it's Ginobili at his peak, the next time is for the players on both sides to watch the show, just watch the slash between the demon knife and the little assassin.

However, Manu is old after all, and it is easy to occasionally cut a long knife out of the sheath, but it is difficult to maintain the output for a long time.

Danny Green was the Spurs' standout player of the quarter, scoring nine points on 3-of-3 three-pointers in the quarter to keep the team in the chance of winning.

Danny Green, who will be known as Real Ama in the future, is not the legendary Tielin, his three-point shooting rate of 42% in the season is already considered a top shooter, and in the playoffs, Green's three-point shooting rate is as high as 48% or more, and he is the Spurs' most dangerous shooter on the outside.

Leonard focused more on helping Tony Parker and George Hill defend tonight, giving Danny Green a lot of shots.

30:33, which was the score played by the two teams in the third quarter.

Before the start of the final quarter, the score of the two teams was 75-80, and the Clippers only led by five points, and there was no absolute certainty of victory.

In the last quarter of the game, the two sides were still playing extremely anxiously, and at the critical moment, Duncan stood up as the core of the Spurs, he first hit two mid-range shots on the head of Erniu, and then took advantage of the situation to cut the basket and play 2+1 against Jordan Jr.

On the Clippers side, Ruan Erniu saw that the score was overtaken, and he was also not to be outdone to score inside, and after passing Duncan, he completed a heavy dunk on Dior's head, and also scored 2+1.

The game was coming to an end, with the score coming to 102-102, and the game went into extra time as both teams missed the killer goal one after another.

In overtime, Manniu and Deng Dudu, who were carrying 5 fouls at the same time, once again became the protagonists on the field.

The two appeared to be competing for mid-range addiction, with successive projections from 15-17 feet alternating between the two teams.

The No. 15 pick that the Spurs tried to trade for George Hill was just to get kawaii, but the wit didn't make the management go wrong again and again, and finally kept the anticipatory No. 3 spot for the team.

The defensive end blocked Parker's layup, and the offensive end went straight to the basket to complete an empty catch behind Ginobili, and when the momentum was too fast and the dunk failed, he used the super long arm span and palm to point the basketball into the basket.

110:112, overtime fierce battle, one-goal victory!

The Clippers players hugged each other excitedly, they have not won the Western Conference finals yet, but the home game is really tough.

At the post-game press conference this time, Kawaii was present with Thibodeau, and the boy with facial paralysis is obviously an All-Star level player, but he is still not very good at giving interviews.

Often reporters ask a lot of questions, and he just replies with "oh!" or "keep training!" and it's over, which undoubtedly makes him lack a bit of superstar temperament.

You know, superstars, sometimes they just have to say something sassy and pretend to be forced or something.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't get every time you turn around, you can basically mix well.

When it comes to self-marketing, kawaii clearly has a long way to go.

G3 came to San Antonio, and with the cheers of Spurs fans and the help of the referee's home whistle, the Clippers suffered a deficit of about 10 points from the opening stage.

The Spurs played hard enough, while the Clippers were not a little distracted.

Ruan Erniu suffered a foul dilemma again, this time due to Thibodeau's slow reaction, only half a quarter was played, and Erniu suffered 4 fouls.

Manniu once again led the team to set off a counterattack frenzy, hitting the Spurs 13:0 in 2 minutes, and once tied the score.

But in the last 1 minute of the quarter, Thibodeau, who didn't know how to accept it when he saw it, did not replace Kraft Nguyen in time, causing the Celestial Empire to eat his fifth foul of the game when defending Parker's layup.

Erniu angrily sat on the bench and threw the towel.

The score was evenly matched, but without him, the Clippers couldn't create offensive pressure on the interior for a long time in the final quarter.

The Clippers' offensive system is actually not difficult to dismantle.

One is the traditional inside and outside play style of Erniu and the shooter outside, and the other is that Erniu pulls the inside line, which is directly guided by Paul, or Erniu does the axis to respond to the air cut and run.

Without Ruan Erniu, the Clippers have become the wasps of the past, relying on Paul alone.

Deng Dudu, taking advantage of Erniu's absence, once again showed the demeanor of the first big in history, and a burst of outside shots helped the team pull the score to double digits.

When Erniu returned to the court, the Clippers tried to launch a final counterattack, but the referee was determined to give the home team an advantage.

In a misplaced defense, Erniu and George Hill had a normal physical confrontation.

Hill took a step back in the collision, the referee's whistle sounded directly, and Ruan Erniu, who had just been on the court for less than 43 seconds, received his sixth foul of the game and was ejected.

The angry Thibodeau yelled at the referee and was added a technical foul, if it weren't for the calmed down Erniu and Steve Cole teamed up to hug Thibodeau, it is estimated that the fat man would have rushed directly to the court to hug the referee.

Despite falling behind the score, the tenacious Clippers fought until the last minute.

Paul repeatedly led the team to bite the score at key moments, showing what an MVP-caliber player should do.

From the perspective of the second leader alone, Paul's talent is somewhat profligate, and the third cannon is indeed a natural leader.

91:93, if it weren't for Gary Neal hitting both free throws in the last minute, G3 would have gone into overtime again.

Either way, the Spurs finally halted their slump on their home court and won their first series.

Erniu didn't say much about the Spurs' home-court advantage after the game, and he said with a smile: "I will control my foul count better in the next game."

Don't forget, we're still the leading team and the win will go to the stronger side in the end. ”

……

In a box at the Clippers' hotel, the team's coaching staff is in urgent negotiations.

"What if the Spurs continue to get that much of a bias in the next game?" said Tyronn Lue worriedly, "or should we save our strength in the face of the odds and try to solve the problem at home?"

Steve Kerr immediately shook his head and said, "No, it would make our players lose their acumen to the confrontation, and there is no playoff game that can be easily given up, unless the score is too far behind, I am strongly against it." ”

"I support Steve's suggestion that we do everything possible to get back to Los Angeles with match points," Thibodeau said. ”

Natalie Nakase elaborated on her video analysis of the last few games and concluded: "We can't afford to let up our defense against Duncan.

The No. 1 core of this team is indeed Tony Parker, but that doesn't mean Duncan can be ignored.

He's always been the league's best top-tier interior player of the last decade. ”

Ruan Erniu thought for a while and said: "In both games, the Spurs are using Hill and Parker to play dual point guards, Split has limited playing time, and Duncan has played the center position for a long time.

Tom's solution was to cut down on DJ (Jordan Jr.) and let me play at center and play directly against TD......"

Speaking of this, Er Niu suddenly stopped, touched his chin, and thought: "Is it possible to give Birdman more playing time and let him limit TD?"

CP3, who participated in the discussion of the coaching staff, smiled: "So you are afraid of directly facing Mr. Da Jigong?"

Er Niu immediately threw a health ball at the third artillery, pouted and said, "I'm here to better release my offensive firepower!"

G4 is still being played at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, and it's another game that is not to be lost for both sides.

If the Spurs lose, they will have to give the defending champions a match point, while the Clippers will lose and return everything to square one, and the advantage they have built up at home will be lost.

The rhythm of the game is more or less similar to G2 and G3, with the same emphasis on confrontation and the same whistle non-stop.

It's just that tonight's referee's blowing scale is no longer as biased towards the home team as G3, and Erniu smiled in his heart.

That's right, the league doesn't want the Spurs to make it to the Finals more than the Clippers.

Because their style of play is really the poison of ratings, the Clippers are also empty cities no matter what, and two more dunks are better than the Spurs' floor flow anyway.

Without the deliberate favoritism of the home whistle, Erniu's firepower output suddenly became extremely fierce.

In the first quarter of a little calm, the second cow ushered in an outbreak in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the bull shot 8 of 9 in a single quarter, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, slashed 20 points, and 14 double-doubles, instantly leading the team to widen the score gap to double digits.

In the third quarter, Erniu's performance on the offensive end was even more difficult to control, and he continued to bleed the Spurs in the low post and mid-range.

After the third quarter, the Clippers had stretched the score to 20+, and in the final quarter of the game, the San Antonios, who had no way out, made a gambling projection.

Ginobili hit two or three three-pointers and a serpentine layup in a row, which once gave the Spurs hope of catching up with the score, but Ray Allen and JJ Redick made contributions successively and helped the Clippers hold the score advantage with cold-blooded three-pointers.

3:1, the Clippers won G4 and won the match point!

Ruan Erniu, who scored 69 points and 24 rebounds in the whole game, is naturally a well-deserved MVP, he alone is responsible for 55% of the team's scores, such an output must be MVP!

Popovich smiled helplessly after the game: "We did everything we could, but there was that guy on the other side who was 'often' possessed by God.

We still won't give up hope and will do everything possible to get the game back home. ”

Popovich didn't say if he could beat the Clippers, and in fact he didn't say it was necessary.

At this point, the chances of winning are slim to none.

Instead of saying that they won all three games and reversed to advance, it is better to set a small goal first and drag the game to the 6th or even 7th game.

But in the face of a guy who has just broken the single-game playoff scoring record held by himself, the Spurs really have no certainty of winning this time.

Sure enough, after the two teams moved to Los Angeles, the Spurs' momentum was not as good as the first four games, and the Clippers also successfully won the opponent at home and won the Western Conference championship.

After the game, even Grant Hill, who won the whole game, was no longer so suave and cheered wildly with his teammates.

It doesn't matter if the sense of presence is weak, the ring that is about to arrive is the most real existence.

"Thank you for giving me the game, this league used to be yours, but now it belongs to me!" Erniu went to the locker room to find Dull and sent a "The future is yours" version 2.0 of the snack.

As a result, he was expressionless and stunned on the field, turned his face and became angry, and immediately took GDP and prepared to beat the people of the Celestial Dynasty together.

Fortunately, the Clippers security arrived in time, separated the hot-blooded Spurs, and finally prevented a bloody case.

The Clippers got their ticket to the Finals, while the Eastern Conference finally decided the winner a few days later.

The Heat eliminated the Pacers with a difficult overall score of 4-3 to advance to the finals, and LeBron James and Paul George staged a classic sympathy, exchanging three-pointers in front of halftime and high-fives with the opposing side.

That's right, to put it in layman's terms - the two cherish each other and can't help it!

Hibbert really lived up to Hei Yao's nickname in this round of the series, playing a 22+10 super center data, and almost led the team to turn the tables with Pickled Pepper.

There is no difference between the finals opponents in the 12-13 season and the 11-12 season.

Ruan Erniu and James once again stood in the center of the stage of the showdown!
