The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air, and He Dong was very confident in his shot, and the basketball then hollowed into the net under the gaze of the audience. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The score came to 26-20, but the Clippers' tactics were still somewhat effective, and after He Dong made a shot, he also left the Clippers 10 seconds to attack.
Rivers Jr. did not choose to pick up the ball after serving, which is a consistent time-rubbing tactic, as long as the ball is not picked up, the timer will not go.
The Spurs didn't choose to press forward to let him pick up the ball, and after half the court, Rivers Jr. picked up the ball and began to organize the final attack.
Jordan Jr. and Speights worked together to provide a double pick-and-roll cover for Rivers Jr., who immediately burst into the Spurs box from the right side with a screen.
After entering the restricted area, Jordan Jr. ran down to the Spurs basket, Speights cut outside and stood at the three-point line, the two can shoot no matter who receives the ball, Speight's three points are quite reliable, and his strength can be seen when he is in the Warriors, as for Jordan Jr., he and Paul have been able to catch the ball under the basket so many times, although sometimes the choice is not good.
But Rivers Jr. wasn't Paul, he didn't have that kind of commanding vision and awareness, and he made the worst choice to go it alone.
Facing the ape arm of Ibaka, Rivers Jr. made a difficult shot, and in order to avoid being capped, he adjusted the arc of the shot higher, but the basketball also hit the iron.
With two seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Parker picked up the defense, rushed forward a few steps, and smashed the basketball into the basket from great distance.
The basketball flew into the air, exhausting its final moment, the referee's whistle blew, and the first quarter of the game ended.
In this way, the score in the first quarter was fixed at 26-20, and the Clippers trailed by 6 points.
During the intermission, Popovich asked the main team to rest for a while, and Mills and Tielin, Simmons, sister-in-law, and Dedmon played together for 3 minutes.
The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was very high, even if they saw the Spurs all coming off the bench in the second quarter, they did not have any dissatisfaction with all the substitutes, they knew that the strength of the Spurs benches would not disappoint the fans, and sometimes the substitutes scored more than the starters.
The Clippers replaced the main team, Jordan Jr. went off the court, and Paul, Griffin, and Redick came on to replace Rivers Jr., Crawford and Jordan Jr.
In this way, the Clippers' interior lineup will lack height, but fortunately, Spease and Griffin are both capable of reaching the three-point line, which can provide Paul with more outside passing points.
In this way, in addition to Bamot, the other four have good firepower, and maybe the Clippers can try to make a three-point rain.
In the second quarter, the Spurs served, and Mills led the Spurs bench to face off against the Clippers.
Is it an egg hitting a stone or is it evenly matched?
Mills controlled the ball, and Simmons made a pick-and-roll cover to create an open opportunity for Tielin, who received the ball, had a chance, and immediately shot a three-point shot.
It's a pity that the iron country cannot be shaken, and this time Tielin still ends with iron.
Griffin grabbed the rebound and handed it to Paul, who immediately launched a defensive counterattack, controlled the ball to the front court and passed the ball to Redick who ran into the bottom corner.
Redick made a very decisive shot, showing the demeanor of a top three-point shooter, and the basketball hollowed into the net.
The Spurs attacked again, and after a few transmissions, Mills himself had an open opportunity and immediately shot decisively.
However, this time, Mills, who was full of firepower from the outside, also failed to shoot this three-pointer.
Speights got the defensive rebound and handed it to Paul, who once again launched a defensive counterattack, and now among everyone on the court, no one is Paul's opponent in terms of speed.
Paul rushed to the three-point line, made a three-point shot, and then passed the ball to Redick, who followed up to the three-point line.
Redick received another pass from Paul, and the Spurs' defense was not yet in place, and the former decisively shot three points again!
The basketball went into the net again, relying on Redick's two consecutive three-point shots, and the score came to 26-26, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
Spurs attacked again, this time the sister-in-law took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low position, and it was not difficult for him to eat Speights.
The basketball hit the board, and the sister-in-law stabilized the situation for the Spurs and kept the score in the lead.
After a few more rounds were played, and after the Spurs' bench then hit a mid-range shot by Simmons, Rivers called a timeout for a substitution, allowing Jordan Jr. to replace Speights. Popovich also put the main players on the pitch.
Previously, the Clippers scored a goal each by Paul and Griffin, and the score came to 30-30 and was still tied.
The score is so close, and the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene is also a little sluggish, at this time it is time for the commentator to open his mouth to mobilize the atmosphere, Barkley immediately laughed loudly: "Look, the Spurs let the starters play, I believe that the Clippers will soon be defeated by the Spurs in a wave, and then accept defeat in a gloomy way." ”
On the court, the Clippers took the lead in attacking, Paul used a one-handed crotch to accelerate past Parker, and then passed the ball to Redick on the outside, who did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball to Griffin in the low post.
In the face of Ibaka's close defense, Griffin chose to turn and step back to tiptoe, leaning back slightly to ensure that Ibaka could not cover himself, and then under Barkley's gaze, the basketball hollowed into the net.
The score was 30-32, and the Clippers took the lead.
The Spurs attacked, and Leonard made a mid-range back-to-back jumper shot, but unfortunately hit the iron.
Jordan Jr. picked up the defensive rebound and handed it to Paul. This time, the latter chose to control the ball at a constant speed to the front court and organize the attack steadily.
Paul took advantage of Griffin's cover to get into the Spurs box and hit the ball from under Ibaka's crotch to Griffin, who chiseled in the box, drew the defense and then passed the ball to Redick on the outside.
Redick duffled a shot, then burst into mid-range and made a pull-and-go jumper.
The basketball hit again, and Redick had a great hand today, often taking advantage of the limited shots.
The point difference expanded to 4 points, Barkley's face began to be a little unbearable, this time he sided with the Spurs, put down the arrogance that the Spurs won the championship, could it be that he had killed a team again?
The difference in points reached four points, and the old man on the sidelines was also a little dissatisfied with his face, and the performance of the main players was not what he wanted to see.
The score fell behind on the field, and Parker, as the commander, spoke out at this time: "Show your fighting spirit!" Do you want to go fishing together after this series? ”
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Possession of the ball to the frontcourt, Parker then handed the ball to Ho Dong, whenever the Spurs encountered a crisis on the court, the person who stood up was Ho Dong, and even Parker would reflexively send the ball to him.
In the face of Redick, after He Dong's simple crossover, he staggered his position with a big horizontal stride, and then shot a three-point shot!
