The 2013-2014 All-Star Game ended with Griffin winning the "Star of the Stars".

It's quite like a comedy, the big drama in front of the gong starts, you sing and I appear, and the last honest man who is not too conspicuous has the last laugh.

It's like the Warring States of Japan, the fight is good-looking, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and finally Tokugawa Ieyasu, the old turtle......

No, Griffin isn't a turtle either...

Anyway, the All-Star Game ended quite hilariously.

In general, Xiao Hua's first important NBA activity after taking office should be said to have been carried out quite well.

Although the theme of "East-West Confrontation" is not particularly eye-catching, fortunately, the stars are playing well.

Whether it's competitive or entertaining, this All-Star Game is good.

At the moment when Xiao Hua presented the All-Star trophy, he should have breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and didn't mess up.

And the strong outside projection ability shown by Li Liang, Curry and Durant in the game has become a topic of conversation after the All-Star break.

The fans started to fight again and began to salivate about who had the strongest three-point ability.

In the end, they quarreled and came to the conclusion that Curry's dynamic three-point ability is strong, Li Liang's static three-point ability is the first in history, and Durant is a combination of Curry and Li Liang.

Li Liang saw such a conclusion and scolded his mother directly.

If you look at Durant's appearance, I combine Curry with him to make a handsome?

Li Liang's focus is not on the three-point shot at all, because for him, his three-point shot has become the strongest in history, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a pervert despite the dynamic static.

Now give the fans some room for argument and YY.

After the end of this drama, it means that the NBA regular season has begun to enter the sprint stage.

Teams on the verge of the playoffs need to start fighting hard to make the playoffs.

The teams that missed the playoffs will open the health mode, cultivate rookies and rookies, and take turns to see the goods.

Championship-hungry teams are putting the finishing touches on their rosters to get them into top shape ahead of the playoffs.

For example, some strong teams will start to rotate and rest to reduce the playing time of veterans.

Some teams will start experimenting with playoff lineups and make adjustments to their tactics and style of play.

Some teams just don't do anything and move on with the way they used to play.

The Clippers are the kind of team they don't need to change, all they have to do is be themselves.

After Paul's return, they have a full lineup and are already the strongest team in the league.

They sit first in the league with a 47-8 record, and although the 72 wins against the Bulls are worrying, there is not much suspense about winning 60 games this season.

If that achievement is reached, it would be the first time in Clippers history that they have won 60 in a regular season.

The current Clippers can be said to be sharpening their knives, and they are ready to make a big play in the playoffs.

On February 17, two days after the All-Star break, the Clippers hosted their strongest opponent in the West, the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs have always had a tradition of working in the back, tuning the run-in lineup at the beginning of the season, getting into the groove in the middle and late stages of the season, and staying there until the start of the playoffs.

The Spurs' stability has been consistent for a decade, and their core GDP structure hasn't changed in a decade, although the tactical system has changed dramatically.

The tactical changes made by the Spurs after '08 have paid off by last year, and they have the ability to challenge for championships.

It's just that when encountering a team like Thunder, the master was beaten to death again.

By this year, the Spurs roster hadn't changed much, but the tactical side was more mature.

Tony Parker, who became the offensive core of the team last season, has slipped slightly this season, and Popovich has made the team more team and more evenly distributed.

Duncan re-elevated his rivalry in the summer and further conditioned his knees to make himself even better in all aspects.

Ginobili struggled with injuries last season and had a terrible playoff season.

After a summer of systematic recovery training, Ginobili's form improved.

It can be said that modern medical technology, as well as reasonable and proper arrangements of the coaching staff, and a familiar and harmonious team atmosphere, allow the value of veteran players to be better played.

Li Liang felt in the previous game with the Spurs that this Spurs team is very strong.

That super reversal, if it weren't for the help of the [Garbage King] medal, it would never have been able to get it back.

That loss was a pure surprise for the Spurs, and not only did it not hit the Spurs, but it brought the Spurs closer together.

After all, the miracles they have experienced have done too many backgrounds, and with every additional scar, they will be one point stronger.

No way, this is fate.

Tonight's game is arguably high-profile, and it is expected to be a preview of the Western Conference Finals.

On the Spurs' side, Parker and Leonard were absent due to injury, but it is not known whether there is an injury or not, anyway, the Spurs reported an injury.

On the Clippers' side, Caron Butler suffered a recurrence of an old arm injury and did not make the team roster.

Against Odom and Livingston playing better and better off the bench, Butler's playing time is getting less and less.

Butler has been on injury this season, and it's hard to say if he can maintain his form in the playoffs.

In addition, the Clippers are all in order, Paul is in place, and the Clippers have an advantage no matter how you look at this game.

But NBA games can never be just about paper lineups.

Whether you win or lose must be on the field to know.

The Spurs and Clippers just don't know if they don't fight, and they are scared when they hit it.

Without Parker and Leonard, the Spurs launched a ferocious offense in the first quarter.

Unlike any other team, the Spurs' offensive coordination is extremely fluid, and the Clippers' defensive strategy is of little use against the Spurs.

Although Li Liang's defense is very good, he can't afford to be the core of a team's defense.

So overall, the Clippers are still defending collectively.

The inside line is centered on Jordan Jr.'s frame, and the outside line is assisted by Li Liang's co-defense.

At the same time, Barnes has a strong substitution function, Paul is freed up, and the defensive task will not be so heavy, and Griffin is ...... At least it won't be a buggy vulnerability.

The point of this kind of defense is that for those super scorers, the core players have a stronger containment ability.

Li Liang occupies a central position, commanding and deciding the strategy of defense.

If you have a strong attack, you can chase and intercept it with your teammates.

If the attack power is average, put it appropriately, and close the door to put Little Jordan when you enter the inner line; If you don't get into the inside line, you can vote if you want to.

But it's not easy to deal with a team like Spurs that doesn't have an offensive focus.

Last season, the Spurs still used Parker as the offensive focus, and this time it was a good thing, Parker was directly injured and rested.

No more focus!

It was Mills who came in place of Parker, and Mills was very different from Parker in style.

Mills is a projection guard who doesn't stick the ball and passes the ball over the half, while the Spurs' offensive organization mainly relies on Duncan, Dio, and Ginobili to complete.

The Spurs have maintained a good offensive momentum from the first quarter, and the Clippers' defense has been unable to make up for it.

On the Clippers' side, after Paul's return, the ball returned to Paul's hands, and his teammates were still a little unaccustomed to the beginning.

Originally, after the last game against the Trail Blazers, the Clippers should have had an adjustment period to slowly adjust to Paul's return.

As a result, there will be an All-Star Game soon, everyone will have a good time, and the opportunity to adapt and run in will be gone, and they will start again.

The Clippers, who were fully healthy tonight, did not feel like a storm on offense.

In addition to the fact that the Spurs defended well, there was also the presence of Paul, who did not really drive the Clippers' offense.

Not only did he not, but on the offensive end, Paul also shot 1 of 10, and the shooting percentage was outrageously low!

Unlike Kidd, Paul's size dictates that if his offensive threat isn't enough, his impact on the organization and otherwise must be insufficient.

And Rivers can't stop Paul, and after the All-Star break, Paul needs to find his form.

By the time the fourth quarter began, the Spurs were 96-85 ahead of the Clippers by 11 points.

Just when Clippers fans were expecting Li Liang to perform a miracle again and defeat the Spurs with a series of three-pointers, the Spurs suddenly began a frenzied foul tactic!

As soon as the fourth quarter began, the Spurs began to cut Jordan Jr.

Jordan Jr. was also miserable, he didn't do anything at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he was targeted by the Spurs for a foul, and then began to practice free throws.

Two free throws and one hit, the Spurs are earned.

Then the Spurs fell into the position, using the advantage of their positional battles to slowly grind the Clippers.

Popovich was afraid that Li Liang would use a three-pointer to bring up the rhythm of the Clippers.

It's just a pot draw, aren't you strong at three-point shooting?

I can't defend you, I can't give you a chance to attack, right?

I'm going to give you free throws, right?

Now Li Liang has no tricks even if he has a system, there is no ball!

Popovich, this bad old man, is yin enough, and all kinds of bad moves and strange tricks are all come up with by him.

In the past, in order to win, some bad tricks were not less.

In this way, Li Liang's outside rhythm can't be brought up, even if he hits two three-pointers later, he can't condense the momentum of the whole team against the current of the Clippers.

The Spurs' offense played relatively smoothly from beginning to end, the two sides held each other, and the difference remained at about 10 points, and the Clippers finally lost the opportunity to turn the tables.

In the second game of Paul's return, the Clippers lost the game at home, 101-113, a 12-point deficit.

Paul only scored 3 points and dished out 5 assists on 1-of-10 shooting, which can be said to be basically negative.

Li Liang tried his best to help Paul make the ball this time, but in the end he lost the game.

He didn't blame Paul directly, he knew that this state was only temporary and Paul would certainly recover.

I just thought to myself, you really should help me!

The Clippers' locker room atmosphere after the game was not bad, but it was a little dull.

Before and after the All-Star break, the loss was a little bit too much.

Now the Clippers may need to make some changes and tweaks to put themselves in playoff mode.
