In the second quarter, Liu Su came on the court, defending Parker, Rose went to relax Ginobili, and Brera Xia, Gomez, and David Lee occupied the inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Su and Parker's speed can be regarded as half a pound and eight taels, but Liu Su's defense is stronger than Parker, and his shooting is better than Parker, he can completely limit Parker, but Parker has no way to take Liu Su, so he can only rely on his destiny.
With Rose's defense, it is not so easy for Ginobili to break through, if he can't break through, he can't hit the inside, and he relies on running to impact the inside line but is toughly pushed back by Gomez and David Lee, even if he fouls, he has to fan him down.
In the end, Ginobili didn't dare to go inside, although the free throws were very cool, but the beater was really painful! As soon as Ginobili dangled from the outside, he was much less of a threat.
The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides was slow, and Liu Su equalized the score in the seventh minute. After the score was equalized, the Spurs immediately replaced Duncan, as soon as Duncan came up, the Clippers wilted inside, Brera Xia and David Lee were even more unbearable than Brand and Carman, and they couldn't beat Duncan at all, if it wasn't for Liu Su helping to attract attention outside, they would almost not be able to score.
In the ninth minute, the Spurs replaced Bowen and asked him to defend Liu Su. Liu Su is also a little afraid of Bowen's black hand, and his offense is not so resolute, his shots have become less, and he has more breakthroughs.
The two sides were deadlocked until halftime, and there was still a draw.
In the second half, Liu Su and Mobley partnered together, and Dunleavy Sr. intended to protect Kassel. After all, Cassel is old, and if he is hacked by Bowen, his career will basically be over.
Liu Su was very unhappy in the face of Bowen's restraints, but there was no way to take Bowen. It's Spurs' home stadium now, and the home whistle is very good. Just now, Liu Su was blown foul for a little big move, which made Liu Su very annoyed.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Su passed the ball to Mobley and then started to run. Mobley also knew Liu Su's intentions and began to look for opportunities to break through, but there were few opportunities, every player in the Spurs had good defensive ability, just Liu Su got rid of Bowen and immediately passed the ball over, Liu Su received the ball on his toes and threw the ball directly, the arc was very high, and the ball went straight into the frame.
This kind of shooting defense, Liu Su rarely uses it, and the shooting percentage is not as high as the jump shot, but in the face of a dirty defender like Bowen, this is the best offensive defense, I can't jump, how can you give me a black foot?
The two sides fought back and forth, and Brand felt that some of the people who were suppressed by Duncan had no face, and beat Duncan a few times, and the success rate was too low. The Spurs took the opportunity to pull the score away, and Duncan's shooting was a miracle move, and anyone could defend it. Whether it's Brand or Carman, they're all abused.
Fortunately, the outside firepower was maintained, and Mobley and Liu Su were able to shoot a three-pointer and give each other an assist. Then Liu Su assisted Brand to make a mid-range shot, and in the face of Duncan's defense, Liu Su didn't dare to go too in, otherwise it would be too easy to make mistakes, after all, there was a Bowen behind him, don't look at him black, but his defensive ability is still good.
The score went up and down, and by the end of the third quarter, the Clippers trailed by two points.
In the fourth quarter, Liu Su took a break, but there was no chance to go up.
After Liu Su got off the court, Mobley was stopped by Bowen and almost injured, although there was no major problem, but he played a psychological shadow. Parker burst out against Cassel, scoring six points on a burst shot, and then assisting Duncan for four points to stretch the score to 10 points.
Then Ginobili exploded, taking advantage of Duncan's cover to hit the inside line in a row, 2+1 three times, and also won six free throws, five of which were shots, knocking Brand and Carman down.
Brand and Carman, facing a score difference of nearly 20 points, Dunleavy Sr. didn't want to fight. Directly replace the main force and surrender. Although the winning streak is important, the health of the players is important.
The Clippers bench still had some strength, and finally chased the score below 10, and finally lost the game by 7 points. The winning streak was ended, and the elder Dunleavy also discovered the team's shortcomings, that is, in the face of super inside, Brand and Carman really can't do it.
But there are really not many good interior lines in the league, and although Brand is also a famous interior line, he is too short. Kaman is tall enough, but not dominant, and at best a star player.
The elder Dunleavy has made the best decision to trade Brand for a good interior player next season, even if it is to take a few potential players.
There are still several players whose contracts expire next year, and there may be good development when it is run, and Radmanovic may have to find a small forward when his contract expires next year. Margety's knee has limited his career, and the owner wants to trade him in exchange for a good player to support Liu Su, who is also a good bargaining chip for a trade.
