Chapter 100: The Battle of the Spurs

In the game against the Spurs, the Clippers arranged a lineup of twin towers, and the starters were Qin Zheng, Carman, Alsolton, Gordon and Davis, if you only look at this lineup, it is indeed very good, at least everyone averages more than 15 points per game, but looking at the Clippers' benches, Qin Zheng has some worries.

The benches of the opposite Spurs are also like the Magic, which is enviable, the sixth man has Manu, as well as Jordan Hill, a two-way guard, and Juan Blair and Roger Mason, two swingmen, plus Matt Bonner, a backup power forward.

This bench lineup of the Spurs can be said to blow up the Clippers.

The Spurs' starting lineup is center McDyce, power forward is Duncan, small forward is Jefferson, shooting guard is Bogans, and playmaking guard is Tony Parker.

With a whistle from referee Crawford, the game between the Clippers and Spurs began.

Basketball was deservedly transferred to Davis's hands by Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng, who was standing in a high position, faced Duncan's defense.

Don't look at Duncan on the basketball court and look like he doesn't do anything, you can't think of any highlight moments, but he always unknowingly makes you find that you are lagging behind, or even failing.

Duncan looked at Qin Zheng cautiously, don't look at Qin Zheng as a newcomer, but Duncan will not underestimate him, after all, the name of the shadow of the tree, although the fame is not obvious, but in these twenty games, Qin Zheng has become the first center in the future, and there is no suspense, as long as Qin Zheng can maintain his health.

Duncan looked at Qin Zheng as he looked at O'Neal back then, it was a kind of talent that could be known by watching him a game.

And Qin Zheng's biggest pressure on Duncan is the diversity of his offensive methods, and he can not only attack but also pass, which makes Duncan scratch his head.

Although Duncan's defense is very good and his help defense is also very good, after all, he is old, and he is about to be 34, and the speed of his footsteps cannot keep up with the young man.

But Duncan was still confident.

After all, I have played for 13 years, and these experiences are not reserved for cubs.

In the face of Duncan's defense, Qin Zheng kept making feints, but Duncan was still expressionless and not fooled.

Qin Zheng once again raised the ball with both hands and bent his body to test it, but Duncan still did not react, Qin Zheng jumped up and shot directly when he saw this.

Although the action was a little anxious, the basketball still obediently went into the basket.

After shooting, Qin Zheng glanced at Duncan, he was still the same, his face was expressionless, and his eyes didn't even fluctuate, Qin Zheng couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart at all?

"Is psychology that magical?" Qin Zheng even planned to study for a master's degree in psychology, but that would be for later.

The expressionless Duncan ran back, Tony Parker took the ball and turned into a French sports car, outside the three-point line, Qin Zhenggang wanted to remind Davis, but before the words came out, Duncan directly made a block, and Davis was completely taken by Duncan.

No matter how fast Qin Zheng was, he couldn't keep up with the speed of the French sports car, and Parker threw a high-arc shot directly, and the basketball entered the basket steadily.

2:2, Spurs tied up by 2 points.

After the shot was hit, the Spurs retreated quickly, as if they had just done something insignificant.

After Qin Zheng received the ball again, this time Duncan defended more actively, and Qin Zheng couldn't get rid of Duncan no matter how he tried.

Only then did Qin Zheng discover that Duncan's defensive ability was really powerful, not weaker than Garnett, who fought and retreated, and his unpretentious defense was Duncan's style.

I wanted to do it again, but I thought that the ball I had just now was almost like a blind shot, so Qin Zheng didn't do it again, but passed it directly to Kaman on the inside.

In the face of McDyce's defense, Carman was not afraid, and as soon as he squeezed hard, McDeyes flashed a gap, and Carman took advantage of the situation to make a small hook under the basket.

Once again, the Clippers are two points ahead.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, it was still Parker who organized the offense, and as the Spurs players continued to run, the Clippers finally leaked people.

Jefferson ran out of the open spot, Elsorton missed, and Parker's basketball randomly passed to him.

Jefferson opened his hand and hit a three-pointer.

The Spurs took the lead, and Qin Zheng suddenly had a bad premonition.

Soon this hunch became a reality, and when the Clippers were attacking, many times, they couldn't run out of position at all, and could only shoot at the players.

When it was the Clippers' turn to defend, the Spurs players were able to run out of the open space to shoot, so the Spurs had a higher shooting percentage than the Clippers.

Fortunately, the Clippers are better at basketball than the Spurs, which is what Popovich expected.

But if you control the rebound and can't turn it into a score, that's also playing.

In order to protect the rebounding ball in the frontcourt, McDyce has become a crazy warrior, constantly fighting Carman hand-to-hand.

By the end of the first quarter, the Spurs, a defensive team, scored an astonishing 39 points, while the Clippers, who are good at scoring, scored only 30 points, trailing by 9 points in the first quarter, which is already a lot for the Clippers, and there has never been a game before.

After the game with the Spurs, Qin Zheng realized that he thought about all the teams too simply, even the Spurs, who are now a home for the elderly, can break the head of the Clippers defense, not to mention the seven games with the Pistons back then.

The skeleton of the team has not changed, the gene of iron-blooded defense has always existed in their souls, in the face of a team with such a level of defense, Qin Zheng was still a little uncomfortable for a while, and there were 3 mistakes in the first quarter, you must know that Qin Zheng would not have made 5 mistakes in the whole game before.

But no one blames him, this is something that every newcomer must experience, even a god has to go through the edification of the rookie period of the newcomer, and then he can become an old ball ruffian.

Qin Zheng is even a little glad that Brooke Bowen is not on the Spurs.

After the game continued in the second quarter, the Clippers still found themselves like a moth that couldn't escape the Spurs' big net, and Qin Zheng couldn't break through this big net no matter how he flew.

Occasionally, it flew out, but soon the Spurs closed the hole.

Due to Qin Zheng's discomfort, the Clippers' shooting rate in this quarter of the game dropped even more, and there was still a 55% shooting rate in the first quarter of the game, and only more than 45% was left in the second quarter, compared to the Spurs' 70 shooting rate, it was a world of difference.

So in the second quarter of the game, the Clippers trailed by another 6 points, and the two quarters were added together, and at the end of the first half, the Clippers were 15 points behind the Spurs.

"69 Ah! Are the Spurs going to be an offensive team? Glancing at the big screen, Qin Zheng walked into the locker room unwillingly.
