On May 25, 2003, the Western Conference Finals reached the fourth game, the second home of the San Antonio Spurs, the first three games, the San Antonio Spurs all lost, the media in Los Angeles, clamoring for a sweep, the San Antonio team itself did not have the confidence to counterattack, only hoped that the team could move back to one game, so as not to be swept out by the Los Angeles Clippers, but the reality is cruel. Huo Ran Wen

In the second game, the stubborn Coach Vicky still used the way of Tian Ji horse racing, this game, the San Antonio Spurs bench lineup performed better than the first game, plus the main players of the San Antonio Spurs, maximized the playing time, so that the fourth quarter of the game, did not fall into garbage time again, but the San Antonio Spurs still lost, the Los Angeles Clippers bench lineup was stronger than expected, the San Antonio Spurs in the last quarter, do their best, couldn't catch up with the score, and many people criticized Coach Vicky's lineup after the game, but they didn't think about Coach Vicky's helplessness.

The main lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers, the offensive power is very strong, but it is completely different from other offensive teams in the league, they are not unable to defend, but they do not focus on defense, just look at the regular season this season, the best defensive lineup, the Los Angeles Clippers have three selected, Jason Green, Tiger Washington and Bruce Bowen, a total of 15 people in the league, the Los Angeles Clippers account for 3 places, are their defenses not strong? Use the main lineup to go head-to-head with the other party? The main lineup of the San Antonio Spurs will definitely be able to win? What about the bench losing points?

In the third game, came to the home court of the San Antonio Spurs, Coach Vicky chose to use the main lineup to fight hard, but they still lost, 8396 This is the score of the third game, people are describing, when the San Antonio Spurs are often used in the old spicy team, this old word has explained a lot of problems, the physical strength of their players cannot guarantee that they will play the whole game, and the Los Angeles Clippers bench lineup has exploded in this game, Without the suppression of the San Antonio Spurs' main lineup, they immediately showed their fangs.

There have been many strong teams in the league, the Chicago Bulls during Michael Jordan's time, and the Los Angeles Lakers, although they are strong, they all have some weaknesses of their own, plus some external factors, and on-the-spot play, etc., are not invincible, but the current Los Angeles Clippers, you can't find their weaknesses at all, maybe only injuries can really stop them.

However, the game is now, even if Tiger Washington is really injured now, and the Los Angeles Clippers win this season's championship, there is no big problem, and now the San Antonio Spurs are 03 behind, even if there is no Tiger Washington, it is impossible for the San Antonio Spurs to turn the tables, and when it comes to the finals, it will be more difficult for the teams in the East to shake the Los Angeles Clippers, Jason Green and Billups, they are not easy to mess with, and they still have a Ginobili in.

Today's fourth game, Coach Vicky intends to give it a go, as long as the main players can still run, there will be no rotation rest, hoping to win a game to avoid the team being swept out, Coach Vicky's approach, did have some effect, the first three quarters of the game, the difference between the two teams is only 2 points, this is the smallest point difference after the start of this series, the San Antonio Spurs seem to see hope.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the main players of the Los Angeles Clippers appeared again, which was the main lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers since the beginning of the whole season, and played the fourth quarter of the game for the first time.

Seeing the Tiger Five, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, walked into the arena, everyone understood Coach Bilfech's intentions, and the San Antonio fans at the scene even sounded a huge boo to express their dissatisfaction, aren't you the fourth quarter and never played the main players? Why did this change your mind? You're playing tricks.

The main lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers, in the fourth quarter of the game, really showed the world their true strength, they can not only attack, when they want to defend, they can also be the strongest, especially after they can quickly switch to defense after the rapid offense, but also make Rick Barry on the commentary bench can no longer be calm, stood up and said: "I finally found a team that can switch between fast and slow in the game, but unfortunately, This team is the Los Angeles Clippers, is it really only the Los Angeles Clippers themselves who can beat themselves? ”

The current Los Angeles Clippers, how strong is it, they don't know their own estimates, usually when they train, they are the main lineup and the bench lineup to play practice games, the losing side, to accept some punishment, although there will be some convergence in intensity, but often play such practice games, the two sets of lineups are greatly improved, fast and slow, offensive and defensive, rhythm conversion, these are the focus of their daily training, but outsiders do not know.

When the Los Angeles Clippers show their true strength, the San Antonio Spurs will never have a chance, half of the season, Tiger who has been resting on the bench, is very physically energetic, the Los Angeles Clippers five, in the fourth quarter full of speed, want tireless robots, with efficient and fast offense, and tacit solid defense, the San Antonio Spurs, the last hope is wiped out little by little.

At the end of the game, the Los Angeles Clippers 10295 San Antonio Spurs, won the opponent by 7 points, with a big score of 40, ended the series, swept the defending champion out, and in the three rounds of the playoffs in the West, the Los Angeles Clippers won 12 in a row, with a strong record without loss, and took the lead in entering the finals, waiting for their opponents to appear.

Who else can stop the Los Angeles Clippers from dominating the NB? This is the question asked by Rick Barry on the commentary bench at the end of this game, and it is also the question of fans across the United States for a long time afterward, is the Los Angeles Clippers really going to rise this time, and at the beginning of the new century, will there be a new giant team in the NB, a new dynasty? To be continued.
