A "beep!"

Just 5 seconds into the second half, on the offensive end of the Clippers, Jordan Jr. was fouled for holding the ball in the low post.

Even the referee who doesn't like to blow the whistle like Ron Oleshak blew a foul directly, which shows how obvious Split's foul action was when he replaced Blair.

Little Jordan's expression was very indifferent, as early as halftime, Ruan Erniu in the locker room predicted the scene in front of him.

The nine-point margin wasn't huge, but Popovich tried to disrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm from the start.

Erniu and Little Jordan had a simple eye contact, and now the question has become very simple, can Little Jordan get the ball in?

For the Spurs, the line between intrigue and conspiracy is only in Jordan Jr.'s free-throw shooting percentage.

A classic inverted toilet reproduction!

Dribbling, squatting, throwing......

If there will be fans mocking Jordan Jr.'s free throws on the road, then on the home court of the Clippers, most fans still hold their breath and wait for Jordan Jr.'s trial.

"Bang!"

A penalty to strike iron!

The basketball bounced at the front of the basket and crashed directly back into Jordan Jr.'s hands.

Uncle Huang pinched the ball and passed it back to the referee, and Oleshak passed the ball back to Jordan Jr.

Uncle Huang took a deep breath, and the "earnest teachings" of the two pickled girls were in his mind, and then threw the ball out again......

At the moment before Jordan Jr. made a move, Erniu got into hand-to-hand combat with Duncan and Jefferson directly under the basket, even if it was a simple rebound, both sides were bound to win.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed in front of the rebound again, and the interior players of the two teams under the basket were already squeezed into a pot of porridge.

Just when everyone was judging the landing point of the basketball, the basketball that bounced into the air fell again with a violent spin......

"Brush!"

Two free throws and one hit!

With the violent rotation of the inverted toilet from the bottom up, the basketball eventually fell into the center of the hoop.

Jordan Jr. raised his arms and cheered, as if he had won the whole world, yes, even if he only shot 50% of the free throws, the Spurs had to consider the success rate of the slash.

On the offensive end of the Spurs, Parker held the ball in the high post, Duncan and Split raised the cover at the same time, Parker took the ball to Duncan's side, attracted the Clippers defense, and immediately distributed the ball to the wing.

Danny Green has been in ambush for a long time, raise your hand and shoot.

"Brush!"

Three-point hit!

The so-called Tielin statement of Celestial Empire fans actually appeared in the playoffs of the 14-15 season.

At that time, Tielin's three-point shooting rate fell from 41.8% in the regular season to 30%, and this was the foundation game for Huang Amma.

Of course, what was even more surprising was the drastic up and down changes in Tielin's three-point shooting percentage.

In the following season, the 15-16 season, Tielin's regular season three-point shooting rate dropped to 33.2%, which was already his best outside shooting percentage since his rookie season.

But when it came to the playoffs, Real Ama immediately told fans why Popovich always trusted him, and he shot a career-high 50% from three-point range in the playoffs.

Back in the present, Danny Green in the 11-12 season was by no means a Tielin, but a fairly reliable 3-and-D shooter who shot over 40% from three-point range.

One shot followed by another, Green hit another three-pointer, and the score was quickly pulled in.

Of course, Ruan Erniu will not sit idly by and watch such a situation develop.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, Kraft Nguyen held the ball in the low post, and Tim Duncan, who played the entire first half, continued to defend the Celestial Empire.

Erniu has no compromise on this veteran who is about to turn 36 years old, "boom!", "boom!", Erniu's back body skills have already reached the point of perfection, even if the opponent behind him can't keep up with the strength a little, he can immediately take measures and use various means to complete the finish.

According to Zhang Lili's future autobiography "Very Reasonable - Zhang Lili's Biography" - for interior players, in addition to strength, "back sensitivity" is also a very important ability.

And the "back sensitivity" of the inside players is generally stronger than that of the outside players.

Because the interior players have more opportunities to attack with their backs, they need to use their backs to rely on people, and perceive the position of defenders through their backs at any time.

In the book, Zhang Li also told such a small story of "tying a pencil":

"Later, I went to the sports institute to study, and I did an experiment, I took two pencils to keep them level, and at the same time pierced the athlete's back, and asked him how many pencils he had, and he said two.

OK, keep the two pencils level, shrink them a little at the same time, ask him a few more, and he will say two.

Continue to shrink inside, shrink to a certain range, and the outside players will think it's a pencil, and the inside players can still tell that it's two. The two pencils are getting closer and closer, and finally they are almost retracted, and you can tell that it is two pencils (not one), and the person's back is very sensitive.

My back is very sensitive, and the two pencils are almost on and up, and I can still feel that there are two of them. It's not that I'm born like this, but because I've been playing inside with my back for many years, and I've become more and more sensitive as I practice. ”

The authenticity of the above sounds like "Tai Chi listens", but for excellent insiders, they are indeed able to use their backs to judge the opponent's defensive reality.

Continuous back-to-back hits, half-turns, cut-in, drumming, and rushing forward to pick up the basket.

The older Duncan really can't stop Erniu, just like he can't stop Bunch Wales and Zach Randolph in the past few years, and he can't do anything in the face of unreasonable back-to-back singles masters, let alone a genius like Ruan Erniu who has both strength and skill.

The game was once again deadlocked, and the Spurs, except for Duncan, who was locked by the two bulls, everyone else found their place in this quarter and contributed their own strength on the offensive end.

As for the Clippers, it was all up to Erniu and JJ Redick to score points in this quarter.

The Spurs' offensive style seems more reasonable, but the Clippers are able to use their superior individual ability to get the ball into the basket.

In the real world of basketball, the so-called reasonable tactical arrangement will always meet the unreasonable individual superstar ability, but the team that can really maintain hegemony for a long time is undoubtedly the team that has both.

Just as a championship needs to be both offensive and defensive, a truly strong man also needs to have superstars and excellent tactics that can stimulate team chemistry, and forcibly separating the two is a boring obsession in itself.

At 28:27, the Spurs led by 1 point in the first quarter, and the game ended in the third quarter, and at 71:79, the Clippers still held an 8-point lead and entered the final quarter of the game.

Charles Barkley said from the TNT commentary box: "The Spurs were in trouble, they tried to cut Jordan at the start of the second half, but DeAndrew's performance tonight wasn't too bad.

The San Antonios were better offensive, but they were also unable to contain Kraft Nguyen's individual offense, and JJ Redick hit two three-pointers in the quarter. ”

O'Neill said: "So I'm still going to talk about whether Kraft Nguyen, who you're most concerned about, can break his own streak of 50+ tonight."

The third quarter is over, and Kraft Nguyen has scored 38 points, and as long as he can score 12 points in the final quarter, he will extend his streak of 50+ points to six.

Truth be told, if I were Popovich, I should have started thinking about whether to pay the price of losing and stop Kraft Nguyen from completing an all-time record on his head, knowing that it was just a regular season game. ”

Reggie Miller on the side said: "I believe not, because even if the Celestial Empire wins 50+ tonight, his record of 6 consecutive games will not surpass Chamberlain, who has scored 50+ in 7 consecutive games."

Seriously, I'm more concerned about the other thing in this game, Tim Duncan has played the full three quarters, is Popovich really ready not to give TD a minute of rest?

You know, Kraft Nguyen had an intermittent break of 4 minutes. ”

Don't look at Ruan Erniu's complete defeat of Tim Duncan, but if it weren't for the sluggish support of the team's defensive system and a lot of response on the offensive end, maybe the Spurs would have been blown up a long time ago.

Some people's roles are really not reflected by low-level statistics, and Popovich has no choice, but as long as there is a player on the bench to replace Duncan's role, he will not die Duncan.

In the final quarter of the game, Popovich finally made a compromise and put Duncan, who played three quarters, on the bench, giving the dumb a rare respite. On the other hand, Kraft Nguyen also got a break in the first half of the final quarter.

Ginobili's injury has not healed, Duncan has been tortured to the point of physical collapse, and the Spurs only have one last move left - TP9 individual singles.

That's right, don't say that the Spurs are a team as a whole, and who would dare to deny that GDP is a star player?

If it weren't for Popovich, maybe they would have become team leaders, and they might not have won so many championship rings, but they would have had a good chance of getting better stats, or more salary.

For the most part, the three guns were the side with the upper stats in the confrontation with the Gallic sports car, but tonight's TP9 clearly showed more attacking desire than CP3.

The Spurs possessed the ball, Parker broke through with the ball, took two steps into the penalty area with the help of cover, and threw the ball into the basket with a low hand against the defense.

After this goal, the first half of the second quarter entered the dominance of Tony Parker, who actually exploded Paul in a short period of time, and successfully attacked the basket with the ball many times, and almost erased the gap of 8 points after the last 2 minutes of the final quarter.

Erniu had to return to the court early, and the inside line without Kraft Nguyen was empty.

But with Parker's outburst, CP3 is equally enraged!

He flew up with Parker in much the same way, with Paul back-to-back balls on the offensive end to push the two teams apart again.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Spurs were replaced by Duncan again.

There is no hope of suppressing the brute on the offensive end tonight, but with his containment, Dejuan Blair can shoot Jordan Jr. from mid-range time and time again.

When Jordan Jr. finally knew how to make a save, Gary Neal, who came off the bench, found an excellent shooting touch again, and after hitting a three-pointer and a big two-pointer in a row, the score of the two teams was once again closer.

As the game deepened, the Spurs finally caught up unknowingly, and by the time there was one minute left in the game, the score of the two teams had reached 90:91.

The Clippers only hold a slim one-point advantage, while the ball remains in the hands of the Spurs.

Tony Parker held the ball in the high post, Duncan raised to cover, Parker hit the basket with the ball, Ruan Erniu came to help defend, and a big hat fanned the ball out, but it was picked up by the oncoming Duncan.

Stretch your arms and toss the ball into the basket from close range.

At 92:91, the Spurs overtook the score for the first time at halftime.

There are 40 seconds left in the game.

Paul dribbled past half the court, organized steadily and pressed a little bit of time, and the big-hearted player was calm and desperate at the critical moment.

Erniu took the initiative to raise the three-point line, and Paul shook off Parker with the help of blocking and dismantling, sprinting!

Duncan, Blair and Parker behind him were surrounded from three directions, and the Spurs' combined defense required them to lock any space in CP3 at the first opportunity.

The three guns didn't mean anything powerful, and after a brief pause, he sent the ball out between Duncan and Parker.

Ruan Erniu, who was at the top of the arc on the outside line, got the basketball unguarded.

"Brush!"

Crisp three-point shot!

At 92:94, the Clippers led by 2 points, and there were only 33 seconds left in the clock, that is, as long as the Spurs did not attack, the Clippers would have the last chance to attack in most cases.

Popovich used the last long timeout, Parker sent a sideline ball, and the Spurs regrouped the positional battle.

After a complicated cross-cutting process, Parker could only rely on his individual ability to shoot against Paul.

"Bang!"

Spurs starter Richard Jefferson, who missed the shot, but was silent for almost the whole game, made a contribution, and he picked up the rebound in the last minute, in a bitter inside battle.

"Brush!"

With a touch of Jefferson's fingers, the basketball was clicked into the hoop.

At 94:94, there were only 11 seconds left in the game.

The Clippers also used up the last long timeout, and Paul finished with double cover and ran out of the open space.

Ten seconds later, Parker pounced.

Nine seconds later, Paul continued to hold the ball.

8 seconds, Paul back to the ball.

Seven seconds later, Paul dribbled sideways under his crotch.

In 6 seconds, Erniu raised the cover.

Five seconds later, he and Paul made a short pass.

4 seconds later, Paul shook off Parker, only to find Danny Green pounced in front of him.

3 seconds later, Paul met the bag and sent the ball out in the direction of JJ Redick.

Two seconds later, Redick received a basketball on the wing, a big open space.

1 second, Reddick shot.

Much of the crowd at the Stamps Center stood up.

"Bang!"

"Oh!!!!"

Striking iron, many viewers at the scene held their heads in their hands, and they were somewhat depressed.

The Clippers did send the open spot, but Redick couldn't get the shot in.

Overtime!

This is a huge physical test for both sides of the game, relatively speaking, the Spurs have a relatively small number of rotations, and the disadvantages of age and away are obvious.

Also, Kraft Nguyen scored 47 points tonight, and it seems that even one of the masters in the dark hopes that the Celestial Empire can take the record of 50+ consecutive years one step further.
