Chapter 67
On May 1, 2000, the Los Angeles Clippers faced the San Antonio Spurs at home, which was the third game of the first round of the playoffs between the two teams, the Los Angeles Clippers had achieved a 2:0 score on the big score, and got the match point, this game may be the last game of the series, before the game, Duncan also appeared at the Staples Arena accompanied by Amy, Duncan was wearing casual clothes with a faint smile on his face, sitting next to the San Antonio Spurs, Chatting with teammates I haven't seen in a few days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The camera on the scene was aimed at Duncan's direction many times, recording Duncan's chatting with his teammates, and transmitting it out.
"From the pictures given by Director Zhang on the scene, Duncan and the players of the San Antonio Spurs have a good relationship, what do you think about this?"
"Hmmm! Some time ago, it has been rumored that Duncan is going to the Los Angeles Clippers next season, but soon Tiger Washington stood up to refute the rumors, and recently major newspapers in the United States are rumoring that Duncan is going to join the Orlando Magic next season, I have to say that this season is not over yet, and the competition next season is already very fierce, but judging from Duncan's performance on the spot, the new rumors may also be rumors, after all, Duncan has won the championship in the San Antonio Spurs, and the San Antonio Spurs lineup has been a little aging, Duncan is already the heart and boss of the team, and there is no need for him to leave San Antonio and start afresh in a new place. "This time, Director Zhang is also very optimistic about Duncan staying in San Antonio!
"What you said makes a lot of sense, many people are not optimistic about Duncan going to the Orlando Magic. Let's talk about today's game, how much do you think the Los Angeles Clippers are likely to win today's game? ”
"What about the Los Angeles Clippers! Now they have a 2-0 lead and have got the match point of the game, this time it is another home game, and they have a good chance of winning, but what about the San Antonio Spurs! After all, as last season's champions, they don't want to be swept out of the first round by the Los Angeles Clippers, who were at the bottom of the league last season, and I think they will increase their defensive intensity to try to win a game. ”
"Thank you Director Zhang for your wonderful comments, do you think the approximate playing time will increase in this game?" This is the focus of Chinese fans.
"Roughly this year's performance in the Los Angeles Clippers has been very good, and has played a big role in the team, I think the Los Angeles Clippers' Coach Bilfic should give more minutes to play, so that using the general offensive ability, maybe can help the Los Angeles Clippers establish some advantages, and Rodman! Now that he is older, he can't play much advantage in the offense, but these all depend on the arrangement of Coach Bill Fitch of the Los Angeles Clippers. ”
"Okay, that's all for our commentary first, judging from the pictures from the scene, the game is about to start, let's enter the scene of the game together."
The game is indeed about to start, the players on both sides have been in position, Jermaine O'Neal and David Robinson are already in the middle line, waiting for the jump ball, as the referee throws the ball high, the game officially begins, Jermaine O'Neal easily won the victory in the jump ball, dialed the ball to Billups, and Tiger and Jackson have quickly rushed to the frontcourt, facing the San Antonio Spurs, the Clippers attach great importance to the opportunity of the fast break, the San Antonio Spurs' defense in the game, let the Clippers suffer, The San Antonio Spurs, who are older players, have no advantage in speed at all, and in the face of the impact of the young Clippers, they can't limit the Clippers in the fast break, just like this time, Tiger easily scored the first shot for the Clippers in this fast break.
After the offense was successful, Tiger didn't stop at all, and immediately ran to the backcourt, the San Antonio Spurs' baseline ball, and it was immediately released, the Clippers have already stood in a defensive formation, and the San Antonio Spurs players also began to intersperse with running to create better offensive opportunities, the San Antonio Spurs' positional offense To be honest, it's really not good-looking, slow, a group of old guys are on the court, you want them to be fast, they really can't be fast, but in the end they can always get the opportunity to shoot, The final offense, hit by Avery Johnson's mid-range jumper, scored two points for the San Antonio Spurs.
Soon, the two sides became a tug-of-war again, the same as the previous two games, the Spurs still used their strong defense, trying their best to limit the Clippers' offense, David Robinson even provoked the beam, doing his best to win for the team, maybe because the San Antonio Spurs have stood on the edge of the cliff and have no way back, maybe because Duncan's presence today boosted the morale of the San Antonio Spurs, David Robinson showed a strong desire to win in the first three quarters of the game, Sweeping away the frustration of being suppressed by Jermaine O'Neal on the first two occasions, he showed his strength as one of the league's four centers in the game.
At the end of the first three quarters of the game, David Robinson has got a double-double of 21 points and 16 rebounds, but he is not the only one who played well today, and the Clippers Tiger also got 26 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds with a quasi-triple-double data, and the two helped the two teams retain their hopes of winning and left the suspense of the game in the crucial fourth quarter.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Tiger launched an attack on the basket again, broke through the double bag of the San Antonio Spurs, passed the ball under the basket to Jackson, who was already empty, Jackson received the ball and shot, hitting a three-pointer for the Clippers, and Tiger also increased the assist to 10 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, two double-doubles have been obtained, and the triple-double is also close at hand, the San Antonio Spurs attacked, and the basketball came to David Robinson's hands again after passing, but this time David Robinson's shot was off the basket, Rodman got the rebound, the Clippers immediately launched a fast attack, back and forth, the Clippers achieved a 5:0 small climax, David Robinson's shooting was inaccurate, it was not accidental, in the subsequent fourth quarter of the game, he missed all 5 shots, the Clippers also took advantage of the opportunity to rebound, began to pull the score apart, mastered the initiative of the game, the game has played so far, David Robinson's fatigue has been revealed, the first three quarters of super play, as if his physical strength has been drained, The veterans are really late, and the San Antonio Spurs are in danger.
