Wave. Povich's speech was always full of dry humor, and it took a while for the reporter to realize that he had been tricked, but he could only smile helplessly.

Wave. Povic's interview was just a pre-match episode, and after a brief opening ceremony, the starters from both sides were on the floor and the game was about to kick off.

The fans at the scene let out a burst of excited cheers.

This is the Clippers' final game of the month, and one of the most challenging.

The Clippers maintained their previous starting lineup.

On the Spurs' side, it is also the same as the previous lineup, with Parker and Danny Green on the outside, Leonard and All-Star power forward Aldridge who started to lead the team this season, and Duncan as the team's center.

In the cheers of the fans, Jordan Jr. and Duncan jumped up, and the game between the two sides officially began!

Duncan used his experience to get a head start and give the Spurs their first offensive chance.

Somewhat similar to the Clippers, the Spurs are also a team with extremely high tactical literacy, and it can even be said that the Clippers are at a higher level than the Clippers in this regard, more efficient and fast.

In the first round, after a couple of successful off-ball pick-and-rolls, Leonard picked up a pass from Duncan and hit an easy mid-range jumper.

The fans at the AT&T center let out a burst of excited cheers, but Leonard, who hit the shot, retreated to the backcourt with a blank face, as if what happened on the court had nothing to do with him.

The live commentators for the game were Shaun Elliott and Rick Barry. I don't know if ESPN intended it, or if Barry himself intended it. This is the second consecutive game in which he has commented on the Clippers.

"The exciting game has begun, and the Spurs have their first offensive chance. Rick, predict who has the better chance of winning this game? Elliott turned to Barry as soon as he started.

"Hey, Sean, you're talking to the discerning guys, we all know the Spurs have a better chance of winning the game, but the Clippers have been playing well lately, and it's going to be a game full of highlights." Barry said with a laugh.

"The Clippers have been winning 10 in a row lately, and they're in the limelight." Elio smiled meaningfully. As a former Spurs legend and a local commentator in San Antonio, he is clearly biased towards the Spurs.

"Sam is a good coach and the Clippers are a good team, but if you look closely, they're not playing to win, they're playing for some other purpose." Barry said otherwise.

"What do you mean?" Elliott asked.

"We're going to get our focus back on the game." Barry didn't go into the details, but changed the subject.

At this time, the Clippers' offense advanced to the frontcourt, and their offense in the first round was still the same as in the last game, and the team was trying their best to create scoring opportunities for Tang Shuai.

At this time, I have to talk about the defense of the Spurs. As the oldest and most consistent team in the league today, the Spurs are based on their defense, whether it is individual defense or help defense, they have almost achieved the extreme.

The Clippers' back-to-back cooperation failed to create chances. When Tang Shuai received the ball, there was little offensive time left, and Green was stubbornly guarding him, and he was forced to pull out the jump shot at the last moment. also jumped out of the basket under the interference.

"Nice defense! Green's defense is very well placed! Elliott shouted excitedly.

"The Clippers played the same way they played the last game, and they treated the Spurs and the Magic equally. This is self-digging graves. Barry spoke unkindly, still maintaining his vicious and sharp commentary style.

The Spurs successfully cooperated. Parker's skillful throwing after the block and tear made another shot for the Spurs, but in retrospect, Tang Shuai's breakthrough after the block was assisted by Leonard's death-wound defense, and the shot was also useless under the latter's interference.

Tang Shuai failed to score points in two consecutive rounds, which also became the epitome of the first quarter of the game between the two sides.

The Clippers are still trying to create scoring opportunities for Tang Shuai, but under the Spurs' perfect defensive system, it is even more difficult for Tang Shuai to score.

Wave. Although Povich still used his habitual cold humor in the pre-game interview, but in the arrangement of the game, it reflected his superhuman level, targeting Tang Shuai, Green was the main defense, Leonard assisted in defense, and used the team's strongest two points of targeted defense, just like hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, it was choked to the death.

1 of 6 shots, 2 points and 1 turnover, this is Tang Shuai's performance when he was substituted, and the only goal came from a backward jumper with some luck component, which he is not good at.

When a player can't score in a way he excels at, it's a sign that he's in big trouble on the offensive end.

Tang Shuai's poor performance also allowed the Clippers to be beaten by the Spurs in the opening game.

At 14:3, the Spurs didn't score much, but the performance of the restricted Clippers was miserable.

"A tendon, the Clippers are making a fool, didn't they find it impossible to score with a rookie? Not to mention a seriously overrated rookie! Barry's comments are incomparably viper.

"It's a Spurs-style game, you don't know how to score when you're defending." Elliott was also excited.

Tang Shuai sat in a daze on the field.

He worked hard to create scoring opportunities and tried to pass the ball to his teammates when the offense wasn't ideal, but the reality was that the Spurs' defense was much better than he expected.

He barely scored, not because he wasn't smart enough or didn't feel good, but simply because he wasn't good enough to break down that defense.

In fact, even scoring masters like Durant and Kobe Bryant often struggle when facing the Spurs, not to mention Tang Shuai, who doesn't have an exclusive skill package.

He's waiting.

It's not that he doesn't have a chance at all, and the single consumption pack he accidentally obtained in the last game can be said to be his last hole card now, but the time limit for using this hole card is only one session, so he has to wait.

The game on the court continued, the Spurs firmly occupied the initiative on the court, Barry and Elliott were teasing to their heart's content, and the cheers of the fans at the scene were getting louder and louder.

Wave. Povic is a big fan of the multi-player rotation, and the Spurs basically maintain a rotation of ten or more players during the regular season, and at this time he has already entered the rotation early.

Kassel's reaction though was not as good as that of the wave. Povich, but fortunately, he also made a corresponding lineup, and in the second half of the first quarter, except for replacing Griffin, the other starters played the whole quarter.

21-30, with this abnormal adjustment, the Clippers pulled back a little bit of momentum at the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Kassel replaced the other starters, and replaced Tang Shuai and Griffin, which was a surprising victory. (To be continued.) )
