Chapter 307: Proud Barry

The Spurs' lineup at this time is dominated by substitutes, and the only starter on the court is the core Leonard, with Boris Dior and David West on the inside, and Patti Mills and Manu Ginobili on the outside.

On the Clippers' side, in addition to Tang Shuai and Griffin, the other three positions are regular rotations, Smith, Stephenson and Pierce.

As soon as the second quarter began, the Clippers had the opportunity to attack first.

The defensive ability of the Spurs' on-court lineup is much weaker than that of the starters.

After Tang Shuai controlled the ball to the front court, he beckoned Griffin to come up and make a block, and passed the ball to Griffin with a blow at the right time, Griffin faced West's height and strength advantage, and directly made a tough layup, causing the latter's beater to foul.

Griffin hit both free throws from the free throw line to help the Clippers cut the deficit to seven points.

The Spurs' bench lacks defensive ability, but the offensive point is not weak compared to the starters, and Mills and Ginobili are both players with excellent breakthrough ability.

Especially Ginobili, although he has entered the end of his career, the "Demon Knife" is still ghostly sharp, and in the offensive round, after his signature serpentine breakthrough attracted the defense, he gave it to Leonard who cut in the air, and Leonard directly scored points for the Spurs with a one-handed dunk.

After the dunk, Leonard was still expressionless.

The Spurs' second lineup is usually led by Aldridge or Leonard, but no matter who it is, it is the offensive core of the court at this time, and the energy on the defensive end is bound to be a lot less.

And this also gave Tang Shuai a chance.

Tang Shuai advanced to the front court to give Stephenson, and took advantage of Smith's off-ball block to successfully run out of three-point open opportunities.

Stephenson has a purple pass pack. And he's also an organized swing person, and he shakes his hands at this time. The ball was in Tang Shuai's hands.

Of course, Tang Shuai would not waste such an opportunity.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai's hand rose and fell. An accurate three-pointer from the open position brought the score close to 6 again.

Wave. Povich yelled at Mills, so frightened that Mills didn't dare to lift his head.

Wave. Povich rarely gets angry in games, but when he does, he is furious.

Mills was a bit of a fighter, and he turned around and got a second pass from Ginobili and hit a big three-pointer.

Tang Shuai was not far behind, waiting until the front court was handed over to Stephenson's organization, cutting the ball in the air, and facing Ginobili's help defense. Straight to a tough breakaway layup.

Ginobili is experienced and directly grabbed Tang Shuai.

Fortunately, Tang Shuai's strength has an absolute advantage, and he threw the ball when he was pulled down.

With a "bang", the ball scored and also caused a foul on Ginobili!

2+1 rounds!

Tang Shuai yelled excitedly.

The Alun breakthrough package that he had just hit made his success rate of scoring much higher than before.

Billups on the sidelines swung his fist hard, and Tang Shuai's breakthrough style was obviously very influenced by him.

Tang Shuai hit a penalty to make the score closer.

In the first half of this section, the competition between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the score difference was always maintained at about five points.

Tang Shuai was under much less defensive pressure in this section than he was at the start. And the position on the court is point guard, even the blocking and pick-and-roll rarely encounter Leonard's help defense, which makes his performance much better than in the first quarter.

When he was substituted in the second half of the second quarter, he went from 1-of-6 shooting in the first quarter. He was 5-of-12 from the field and scored in double digits.

But when Tang Shuai left the game, the main force of the Spurs came back. Their performance in the second half of the quarter was still solid, and Aldridge, who had been quiet before, began to explode. With one mid-range shot, the Clippers didn't have much of a chance.

53:40。 The Spurs led by 13 points heading into the half, and although they had a lot less rebounds than the Clippers, they shot 58 percent from the field, which is much higher than the Clippers' 42 percent.

Although I don't want to admit it, the Clippers are still much weaker than the Spurs this season.

At halftime, Wave. Povich was still stopped by reporters.

"Wave. The Spurs were unstoppable in the first half, shooting percentage off the opponent's street, how did this happen? ”

Wave. Povich looked confused, and after a while, he said, "I asked the players to mess up their baskets, you know this is the home of the Spurs, and those security guards won't care about that." ”

The reporter paused for a moment, and then laughed. Povich's dry humor always makes people react half a beat slower.

"There's one more problem." The reporter laughed for a while and continued to ask, "Excellence, the Spurs didn't do a good job in rebounding in the first half, 8 fewer than their opponents, why is this?" ”

Wave. Povich was stunned for a moment, the reporter's question was obviously a bit tricky.

After a while, the wave. Povich then said: "The first question you just asked was the hit rate? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll take back the answer to that question, I didn't actually do that, the basket was smashed by the balls that didn't hit, they shot a lot, so naturally there were more rebounds."

Wave. Povich was obviously in a good mood, and smiled mischievously after answering.

Wave. Povich's mood also speaks to the atmosphere at home for the Spurs, and although the lead is not too many, everyone thinks that the Spurs will win the game is a sure thing.

Coming back in the third quarter, the process of the game was the same as the first quarter, Kassel replaced Tang Shuai in advance and let him play the second half of the quarter, but it was also a drop in the bucket, and the point difference gradually widened with the advancement of the game time.

And what's worse is that tonight's luck seems to be on the side of the Spurs, the last attack of the third quarter, Stephenson's mid-range shot jumped out of the basket, Ginobili got the ball, and with less than 2 seconds left on the offense, he threw the ball directly to the Clippers' half near the three-point line in the backcourt.

The basketball stretched across the entire court in the air, and after the lights came on, it fell vertically into the net bag.

Three-point whistle at halftime!

The fans began to cheer excitedly, and their sexy waists writhed back and forth with the replay.

At 79:60, with Ginobili's genius, the Spurs led by 19 points into the final quarter.

With a 19-point difference, the opponent is still the Spurs, and at this time, needless to say, the fans on the scene, even the Clippers' own players, are also depressed, not believing that the team still has a chance to reverse.

"Rick, it seems that your prediction was accurate, we can already open the champagne early and start celebrating." Elliott said with a smile on his face.

"On 6-of-18 shooting, the Clippers are still doing stupid things, and if they play as normal, they won't be in a desperate situation so early." Barry did not forget to say sarcastically, what he said about 6 of 18 shots was naturally Tang Shuai's performance.

"Don, it's okay, we know you've done your best." Paul came over at this time and reached out and patted Tang Shuai on the shoulder.

"It's just a game, and our performance is not good, so you don't have to blame yourself." Griffin also came over and said.

"There will be a change." Tang Shuai gritted his teeth and said that even though he struggled, his teammates on the Clippers still chose to believe him and support him, which touched him very much, but he also knew that he had to use a single consumption package, otherwise the team would become a laughing stock of celebrities and the media with him.

"There will be a change." Tang Shuai turned his head to look at Barry, who was laughing at Xi Haha, and repeated it again. (To be continued.) )
