Then the Spurs and Clippers each hit each other with 5 irons, but no one scored, and the two sides seemed to be a bit of a scoring drought. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first quarter was almost halfway through, and the score was still in single digits, even if the coach was satisfied, the fans at the scene would not buy it, and many neutral fans began to boo, mocking the low scores of the two teams and making them watch a dull game.
On the court, He Dong received the ball at the three-point line, accelerated instantly after dribbling under the crotch, and rushed to a two-step away position outside the penalty area to make a quick stop jump shot, and the basketball drew a perfect arc hollow into the net.
Griffin then completed a one-handed dunk with an assist from Paul, and the Spurs relied on Parker to hit a three-pointer to return the favor.
The score came to 11-11. The score between the two sides finally reached double digits, and halfway through the first quarter, the boos of the fans gradually subsided.
The Clippers attacked again, and this time Paul took advantage of a surprise one-handed crotch swing past Parker, and then easily hit a throw in the box.
Then He Dong made two back-to-back jumpers in a row to force Redick to score, allowing the Spurs to complete the score lead, and the score of the two sides came to 15-13.
Then Paul and Jordan Jr. completed an open tie and assisted Redick to score an open three-pointer, helping the Clippers score five points in a row.
On the Spurs' side, He Dong shot iron, but Ade grabbed the rebound under the basket and forced a second offensive hit. The score came to 17-18.
Today's live commentators are Billups and Barkley with Big Mouth, the former saw the situation on the court and said: "It seems that Chris Paul is in good shape today, he is like the commander of the court today, and without him, maybe the rest of the Clippers don't know how to play." ”
As the game continued, Paul slotted into the box to score Jordan Jr., who received the ball and faced the duo of Ibaka and Ade, and then handed the ball to Griffin.
The latter received the ball and decisively hooked his hand in the penalty area, but this ball hit the iron. Ade picked up the defensive rebound and handed the ball to Parker.
Holding the ball, taking advantage of the gap when Paul and Griffin Jordan Jr. were both in the Spurs penalty area, Parker's small sports car stepped up its full power to launch a defensive counterattack, and transmitted the ball to He Dong, who had already rushed through the half.
The only people chasing the Clippers at this time were Redick and Bamot, and He Dong accelerated past the former with a dribble behind the three-point line, and then stepped into the restricted area with one foot and took off, and when Bamot jumped to pounce, He Dong had completed a sideways tomahawk dunk like a cannonball.
The audience cheered, and Barkley also praised excitedly: "Look, audience friends, how can the Spurs not win the championship if they have a superstar like He Dong?" ”
Ba Fatzi has already called He Dong a "superstar" in his words, of course, with He Dong's data and on-field performance, the word superstar is well deserved.
Slam dunk king, All-Star starter, average 25+5+5 per game in the regular season, and average 30 points per game in the playoffs, can't he be called a superstar?
He Dong conquered his teammates and Popovich's heart through his performance in the Spurs throughout the regular season, and He Dong became the top scorer of the Spurs team and the most trusted key man of his teammates at critical moments.
The score came to 19-18, and the Clippers then called a timeout after Paul assisted Jordan Jr.'s goal in the restricted area.
At this time, there were only 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, and the Clippers had a substitution session, and then let the main team play in the second quarter.
Paul was rested with Griffin and Redick, while Rivers Jr., Crawford and Speights came on.
The Spurs did not choose to make substitutions, the old man has his own assessment and judgment of the physical strength of the Spurs players, and he knows when he should make substitutions.
The score was 19-20, the Spurs attacked, and in the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, the Spurs didn't want to be behind at the end of the first quarter.
Parker controlled the ball to the front court and passed the ball to Leonard, and He Dong had already cut into the 45-degree mid-range position on the strong side of the running position, and immediately received the latter's pass.
Crawford's defense was not up to par, and Ho Dong didn't encounter defensive interference, hitting a mid-range step-back jumper.
The Spurs are one point ahead, and as long as they prevent the Clippers' next offense and score one more goal, they can extend their lead.
This time the Clippers put the offense in the hands of Rivers Jr., and after Crawford's failure to single Ho Dong, the former received the ball and immediately chose to force the Spurs inside.
However, Rivers Jr. was still a little reckless, and he didn't stagger his position and made a move, and was rewarded with a fierce volleyball-style hot pot by Ibaka.
Leonard, who was standing in the bottom corner, picked up the ball and launched a defensive counter-attack.
He Dong and Leonard ran wildly on the left and right, and between the two were Crawford, who had old arms and legs, and Bamot, who was chasing after him.
Rushing to the front court has shaken off Crawford, but Bamot is still pressing, and it looks like he won't let the Spurs score easily.
Leonard rushed to the three-point line and drew the attention of Bamot's defense, then threw his hand and threw the ball into the sky.
At the same time, He Dong rose into the air, received the ball sideways in the air, and completed an aerial relay dunk!
The audience was cheering again, this is the empty moment that belongs to the Spurs, perhaps the arrival of the Clippers makes fans ignore the strength of the Spurs, they have the existence of the new dunk king He Dong, and the empty connection is not the patent of the Clippers.
The score came to 23-20, and the difference widened to three points.
The Clippers' offense was once again in the hands of Rivers Jr., in the face of Parker's defense, Rivers Jr. used his speed to break through through the cover, after all, he was also one of the best high school students in the United States that year, Rivers Jr. was definitely not slow in terms of speed, and he threw Parker away with an acceleration, and then threw his hand in the restricted area.
It's a pity that although Rivers Jr.'s throwing action is exactly the same as Paul's, he only has his shape, and he doesn't get his god, and the basketball hits the iron and pops out of the frame.
Ibaka grabbed the defensive rebound and handed the ball to Parker.
The little sports car started again, but this time he chose to command the whole team to play steadily, because now there are only 20 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and this time he can press the time to complete an offense and try not to leave the Clippers a chance to attack.
With his right hand raised, Parker shouted to the Spurs on-court players, "Run, score this goal." ”
However, the Clippers were also smart, and they opted for a double to go up and wrap up, so that they could cut Parker's ball, and they could also force the Spurs' receiver to shoot in the open space to give the Clippers one last time to make a shot.
Parker passed the ball to Ho Dong, who was unguarded in front of him, and he stood in the mid-range position, not choosing to shoot immediately, but took a few steps back to the outside of the three-point line.
After all, 3 points is one more point than 2 points, and he is sure to hit this shot.
Crawford's defence was a step slower, and Ho Dong was already in a dashing shot before his defence arrived.
