The second half of the game started quickly.

Both sides are still almost on the same starting line.

The score of 49:47 was low enough for both sides.

Especially the Clippers, they averaged more than 120 points per game in the regular season, and they scored a high score in the last round against the Trail Blazers.

broke 60 at halftime, broke 70, and ended up scoring less than 50 points at half of tonight's game.

Li Liang is indeed extremely efficient, but the Clippers' quick offense barely hit a few times.

Don't think about fast-break dunks, let alone wave after wave of three-point shots.

Of course, the Spurs' offense didn't play well either, and their fluid teamwork was compromised in the face of the Clippers' targeted defense.

In short, it is still unknown who killed the deer.

In the second half, it was the Spurs who took the lead in attacking.

And their offensive was thwarted from the beginning.

Green broke through to the interior and passed to Duncan in the corner position, missing a mid-range jumper.

Green grabbed the rebound in the front court and passed it to Parker on the outside, Parker broke through with the ball, and then distributed the ball to Split on the baseline.

Split came to a backhand Haidilao Moon and wanted to play a layup, but the angle of wiping the board was not found well, and the strength of his hand was not right, and he did not score.

The ball fell to the basket, Duncan, Split, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. scrambled to make a mess, Duncan picked up the ball, and immediately threw it, but was interfered with by Jordan Jr., but still didn't score.

In the end, the ball slipped and flew to Li Liang's feet, where it was picked up by Li Liang......

This product comes with a ball-absorbing aura, and the ball always comes to his hand inexplicably.

The Spurs' offensive coordination this time is not bad, and several passes have passed the opportunity.

But the final moment of the end is always a little bit worse.

It's just that little bit that makes all the coordination in front of the Spurs meaningless.

This is one of the more obvious weaknesses of the Spurs at present, and it is also the most common weakness of team basketball, which is the lack of absolute strength.

This ball is replaced by Duncan before the age of 30, and he will not throw the ball when he picks up the ball under the basket, but will push Jordan Jr. directly into it.

Team basketball with absolute strengths, such as the Chicago Bulls in the post-three-game period, is really chopping melons and vegetables, and it is easy to do the opponent.

The Clippers have a good combination of stars and teams, but they can't be called team basketball.

But in the NBA, stars are everything.

Then Li Liang fell and made a mistake when he advanced in midfield......

You're not really a football player!

Li Liang dribbled the ball too quickly, and as a result, garlic was mixed at his feet!

The dribbling level needs to be further improved, especially in terms of acceleration with the ball.

The Spurs picked up this opportunity to fight back, and Danny Green received a pass from Leonard and made a 45-degree three-point shot on the right side, but still didn't score.

Under the basket, Split grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and the throw was slapped down by Jordan Jr.

Jordan Jr. has been the Clippers' interior Prime since the semifinals.

Li Liang hurriedly rushed over to make up for the credit and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Zhen Nima is embarrassed, there may be gains and losses, there are no shots, and there are already a lot of mistakes.

After taking the backcourt rebound, the Clippers finally played a quick counterattack.

Li Liang handed the ball to Paul, and then went down quickly on the wing, after receiving Paul's pass, he attracted the defensive attention of the Spurs players outside the three-point line, and then suddenly a straight pass to the basket, Jordan Jr. was in the three-second zone, and he caught the ball with one hand!

Then, Duncan's catch-and-go layup was blocked by Griffin from the side!

Duncan, Duncan, you also have today, and you are covered by Griffin, who averages 0.5 caps per game.

Griffin's arm span is not necessarily head high, and his cap is equivalent to a header ferry, you think about how hard it is.

It can only be said that the years are unforgiving, and Duncan is 38 years old after all.

The Spurs were very clear at the start of the second half to attack the Clippers' three-second zone.

Popovich's thinking was correct, and with the Clippers constantly changing defenses, it was difficult for the outside to find good shots.

Therefore, it is necessary to open the inside line, force the Clippers to shrink by offensive means, and give the outside line more room to operate.

But the Clippers' defense of the three-second zone was very successful.

The front court composed of Jordan Jr., Li Liang and Griffin cannot be said to be impregnable, but it is definitely not easy to chisel.

After the start of the second half, the Clippers once again gained the advantage on the court with their hard interior defense.

However, the Spurs did not give up their strategy and continued to attack the interior tirelessly.

The battering ram's repeated attacks on the goal did a bit of work, and Split got a free throw on the offense and helped the Spurs close the score.

The margin remained around 3 to 5 points, and the opening of the second half went back and forth like this, and no one could play an offensive wave.

Although the Clippers have the advantage, the Spurs' solid defense makes Li Liang unable to let go of the attack, or he does not want to let go of the attack for the time being.

Leonard is reluctant to keep an eye on Li Liang.

The Spurs have changed their defensive strategy against Li Liang, no longer blindly wrapping up in advance, but using zone marking to contain Li Liang's transfer of the ball.

By the time Li Liang was halfway through the third quarter, he had already made five turnovers.

Except for the one time when he slipped under his feet, the other passes were broken.

But Li Liang didn't give up on the passing organization, and he knew that the Clippers had to make the offense alive.

Otherwise, the more you fight, the more you die, and by the fourth quarter, you will be fatal.

Griffin is becoming more and more active on the inside, because Li Liang and Paul are constantly creating offensive opportunities for Griffin.

In a quick counterattack, Griffin quickly went down to the basket, Paul distributed the ball to Li Liang in the bottom corner, Li Liang quickly hit the ground and passed to Griffin, Griffin wanted to make a layup, but was pulled down by Split, and made a foul on the free throw line.

At this point, the score was 57-54, and the Clippers led the Spurs by three points.

Griffin made free throws, and Li Liang communicated with Paul on the side to determine the team's rhythm and play.

Popovich sat down on the court, his mind was spinning fast, tonight's Li Liang was different from him in the regular season and semifinals.

I didn't expect this guy to play so steadily, so steady that Popovich was a little surprised.

Li Liang is not only stable, but also very firm in tactical execution.

Never give up on passing and giving up on the Clippers' overall offense just because you make a lot of mistakes.

This is the same as Kobe, Kobe Bryant will never give up his own vote because of iron.

This kind of resolute strategy executor is exactly what old foxes like Popovich hate, because there is no way to drive their opponents into a trap.

Popovich wanted to watch Li Liang make more shots and destroy the Clippers' overall offense.

He was confident that if Li Liang attacked with all his might, he would have a way to contain Li Liang defensively.

Who knew that Li Liang played so calmly and efficiently, and now he has scored 20 points and handed out 7 assists.

The shooting percentage is still 100 percent, but the 5 turnovers are a little more glaring.

On the other hand, on the Clippers bench, Rivers sat on the bench with his hands clasped together, staring at the situation on the court.

Rivers didn't have anything on his head.

What is there to think about? Isn't it good to play?

There is already a brain and a cerebellum on the field, he just needs to concentrate on making his ass, he doesn't need to think, he just needs to wait.

Actually, it wasn't like that when Rivers first came to the Clippers.

He's a championship coach who has won the game for the Clippers, and he has the ambition to create his own coaching glory here.

Then Li Liang came, and there was no then for the time being.

After a season of edification and a season of blowing, Rivers decided to enjoy life like Mike Brown!

Griffin hit both free throws, and Li Liang and Paul discussed and decided on a strategy for the next few minutes.

Soon, the Clippers had changed.

The Spurs blocked and dismantled in the high post, and Li Liang, Paul, and Jordan Jr. suddenly hit the ball carrier with three people.

Parker wanted to play the ball, but was blocked by Jordan Jr.

Li Liang grabbed the ball, immediately passed to Paul, and quickly went down to the bottom left corner.

This counterattack came quickly, Paul gave the ball to Li Liang, and Li Liang took the ball and threw it!

Three-point hit!

At 62:54, the margin came to 8 points, the largest margin so far in the half.

Then, Leonard turned around and hit a jumper to score two points on offense.

The Clippers served quickly in the backcourt, Paul held the ball over the half court, faced with Leonard's misplaced defense, a continuous dribble changed direction to the middle, and then with a feint to the basket, and finally a beautiful backhook layup on the right hand!

The Clippers are clearly picking up speed.

Spurs are still very composed.

Parker took advantage of Duncan's pick-and-roll to move wide laterally to get away from the defense and hit a mid-range jumper at the top of the arc.

At 64:58, the Spurs continued to bite.

But immediately Li Liang quickly passed the half and then dropped the ball to Griffin.

Griffin singled Split, Sigma stepped back to the middle of the strength, and his hands were slammed!

The atmosphere at Staples was pushed to the second high point of the game!

Ballmer, the owner, stood up excitedly and danced with his hands.

The Clippers had such momentum in the first half, but were quickly suppressed by the Spurs and flipped around.

This is a change of rhythm planned by Li Liang and Paul, which is to impact the Spurs and pull away the score.

However, if these few attacks can break down the Spurs, the Spurs are not Spurs.

Popovich didn't call a timeout, and the Spurs continued their positional battle.

In the face of the Clippers' sudden ramp-up, the Spurs did not panic at all and continued their rapid transfer of the ball from the outside.

Finally, Green sniffed a glimmer of opportunity, held the ball on the left wing and drove to the basket, facing Jordan Jr. to make a pull-up jump shot.

Although he didn't hit, Jordan Jr. was too excited and rushed too hard, knocking Green down, and as a result, sending Green to the free throw line.

This kind of mental composure of the Spurs is unmatched by any other team.

After all, their core players have all experienced battles and have encountered all kinds of storms.

If you want to defeat them, it is not enough to rely on one or two attack waves, you must have the belief to grit your teeth and fight to the end, and absolute strength.

The two sides entered an official timeout.

The Clippers replaced Griffin with Odom to bolster the team's offensive firepower.

And the Spurs replaced Ginobili, Dior and Bonner.

Popovich seemed to have something in mind, and Bonner got back on his mind.

After returning from a timeout, Green hit one of two free throws to score 66:59 for seven points.

Li Liang held the ball in the high post again, Barnes and Ge completed a cross-cover cooperation, Li Liang distributed the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner, Barnes received the ball and first faked to shake off Ginobili, and then shot three points in the bottom corner and hit!

Relentless passing assists always pay off, with Li Liang and Barnes high-fives.

For the first time, the difference between the two sides in this game came to 10 points.

But then, there was a clash between the two sides on the field.

Odom almost cut off Leonard's pass in defense and the ball rolled out.

Bonner grabbed the floor ball with Paul on the baseline, Bonner took the lead in controlling the ball, and Li Liang immediately stepped forward to grab the ball with Bonner.

Bonner didn't let go, and then the two stumbled straight into the crowd on the bottom line, falling into the reporters and cameras together.

In the playoffs, Li Liang and Bonner both held the ball and refused to let go, their tempers came up, and they almost scuffled when they lay on the ground.

Players from both sides surrounded him, pulled Li Liang and Bonner apart, and pulled them up from the ground.

The referee hurriedly blew the whistle to separate the two, and then reviewed the video to make sure that although the two had a conflict, they did not hit anyone, and finally decided a scrum.

However, Li Liang's side has been torn out of shape.

Mike Brown had already run forward to reassure Li Liang and tell him not to be impulsive.

"I'm fine, it's okay, it's okay."

Li Liang took a sip of water by the way, and at the same time calmed himself down.

I've calmed down for most of the game, and I can't ruin the whole game because of a little conflict.
