The second game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Spurs and the Clippers was played at 7:30 p.m. Western time at AT&T Arena, and the Clippers played extremely aggressively from the start after their last defeat.

This time, the Knicks' starting lineup was completely revised, with Milicic partnering Griffin on the inside, Redick playing on the front line, and Stephen Nash as a starter for the first time.

Nash and the Spurs are basically old enemies, the Suns and Spurs during the bombing period have fought a lot, winning and losing each other, and the Spurs may win more, but the Suns have not been the bitter master of the San Antonios.

Swish!

As soon as the game opened, Xiao Dash scored a super three-pointer to announce that it was all ...... Lao Tzu will not play this game like before.

Xiao Po completed the offensive wave almost in five seconds, from the referee blowing the whistle and Milicic jumping to grab the rebound, to Xiao Po launching the attack and pulling out the jump shot less than three meters from the halfway line...... This ball carries an indomitable determination.

And the basketball also obediently fell into the Nets.

The moment Ginobili shot the basketball, there was even a feeling that I was facing a madman.

However, the basketball hit made him 'am a fool of the hell'.

"The Clippers are taking a risk with this lineup, facing an opponent like the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, and they actually used tactics like running and shooting, do they still want to defend?" ESPN's host was particularly shocked. In his opinion, in such an important game, giving up defense is simply a completely thoughtless behavior, how can this be?

"This is not the chic in my impression, although chic will be crazy a lot of the time, he will never lose his mind." Reggie Miller also said that he was puzzled by the current layout of the Clippers, and he even wondered if the chic in front of him had been replaced.

However, the next scene made them even more jaw-dropping.

That is, the Clippers almost completely abandoned defense. They let the Spurs score.

The Spurs were dumbfounded, they didn't expect the Clippers to be so generous...... In addition to strengthening the defense in the penalty area, the defense outside is almost always at your own convenience, as if you are eating a buffet.

Swish!

Ginobili threw a mid-range shot and there was no one to defend at all!

And the moment he scored, the Knicks were already running wildly, and the speed was quite fast!

The Spurs' two interior players were able to keep up, but they struggled a bit, Duncan was old, and Lei Jiayin had gained nearly sixty pounds under Popovich's tutelage, and he had become a traditional center through and through.

This level of running is undoubtedly an extremely difficult operation for them.

Swish!

Redick hit another three-pointer from beyond the three-point line and had a slick assist...... The basketball passed three times in three seconds, from Stephen Nash to Xiao Sa, and Xiao Sa handed it to Redick who arrived in the bottom corner for the first time, and Redick opened his hand and shot and hit this three-point shot directly!!

The Clippers are just crazy!

Whether it's ESPN or the audience in front of the TV, they feel that the Clippers at this moment have no way to speculate with common sense.

However, they also have to admit that the Clippers' madness is working. Because even if they don't defend, their super-high shooting percentage is still leading the game in favor of the Clippers.

The Clippers scored 39 points throughout the first quarter, and the Spurs clearly didn't find their way to deal with this fast pace, trying to strangle the Clippers, but that required at least three players to defend them. And in the case of a fast offense, there are three players who can't put into the defensive system, and what it means is to send the opponent to the box for a dunk.

They also tried to strangle Stephen Nash, but when Stephen Nash was restricted, Xiao Sloppy took over the reins of the organization, and he did no worse than Stephen Nash...... Essentially, the Clippers are now a dual-core driven run-and-gun lineup. If the Spurs still want to use the same way they used to deal with Los Angeles, they will undoubtedly have to suffer.

The Spurs couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while, so even though they scored 34 points in the quarter, they still trailed by five points.

After the start of the second quarter, the Clippers were still running and shooting. But Stephen Nash was out of the game and Petrus stepped up.

After the first quarter's run, the Clippers' defense of the Spurs' restricted area was a little looser, and they knew that the two interior lines were no longer full of blood, so it was a very correct and normal option to bring Petrus up to limit the Spurs' outside line.

Petrus's arrival didn't have an immediate effect, but it's a simple fact that the Spurs' shooting percentage is declining.

The Clippers' firepower on their side did not decrease because of Stephen Nash's departure, but instead became more reasonable with the combination of sudden shots.

The Spurs used Jordan's rule hard, and they started to cut off the sloppy pass. However, in the state of accelerated impact, it is difficult for their defense to be airtight, and Xiao can still pass the basketball out.

So, the Clippers still hold the scoring lead, and that lead is starting to widen.

Bang!

With Tony Parker's three-pointer missed, the Clippers entered the locker room with a 68-59 score. In the first half, the Clippers led by nine points.

It's not a score that Spurs can't accept at all, and fans don't feel like the suspense has been lost in this game.

On the contrary, they think that the Spurs are doing very well, and it is usually difficult for other teams, including Miami, to deal with such a sudden change of moves, and to be orderly and completely unself-defeating.

The Spurs still have a chance, if not a few.

This is the prediction given by ESPN.

In the third quarter, the Clippers made a completely different change, putting two veterans of Byron Davis and Vince Carter on the court at the same time, and the interior equipment was changed to DeAndre Jordan and Daco Milisic.

Greg Popovich couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw the Clippers using such a lineup...... It's really a chic style. I studied the bombardment in the locker room for a full fifteen minutes, and as soon as the second half came up, you actually changed to a positional attack, and it was a typical 04-05 style.

The Spurs didn't expect the Clippers to come up with such a classic half-court style of play, and ESPN was dumbfounded.

"Xiao Dash didn't follow the routine at all, played the craziest ball in the first half, and returned to the most conservative half-court position in the second half? Don't they know that the Spurs have played this conservative style of play all their lives? Is this going to be hard steel? ”

That's right, the Clippers are all about going tough.

In this game, Xiao Xiao didn't think about winning by tricks, against an opponent like the Spurs, you don't beat him in the way he is best at, it's not a victory at all.

When the players on both sides set up a battle and fell to the half-court position, and began to work with real guns and ammunition at a glance, Popovich even had the feeling of dreaming back to ten years ago...... However, this is the right way to play.

Popovich's eyes are full of shadows of the past, but Xiao Shi has launched the craziest offensive over there! He began to lead Byron Davis Vinson Carter in a constant assault on the Spurs' penalty area.

Although Vince Carter has been playing more and more over the years, and although Byron Davis's physical strength has become less and less, when they get the order to hit the inside line and get the signal to return to the top, they still rush without hesitation.

When they charge forward like they did when they were younger, it's hard not to be overwhelmed, after all, there is still Xiao Shi there to act as a marshal to call the shots and fill in the gaps.

The Spurs' defensive lineup collapsed, and the Clippers' offense continued to win.

No way, the current spurs are not the spurs of the past after all. Their three cores are getting old, and the new generation of players has not yet fully grown up, let alone fully understood Popovich's tactics.

Watching the situation on the court gradually move towards an irreparable situation, Popovich suddenly sighed.

In the second half of the third quarter, he probably guessed the team's end.

By the time we reached the middle of the fourth quarter, the suspense of the game was running out.

Popovich waved his hand, went to the bench, and admitted defeat!

Greg Popovich is very crisp, and a loss is a loss. This is defeated by Xiao Shi from the frontal battlefield, which has nothing to do with tactics, this is an encounter, it is a head-to-head duel. If the first half was a little tricky, then the second half was completely hard-hitting, and there was no fluke at all.

"It would have been interesting if the Spurs had met this Clippers in '05." Popovich stood on the sidelines, his eyes full of the shadow of GDP in his youth.

Time is gentle and fierce, and never looks back.

"Yes, our aggregate score is already 1-1." Popovich was particularly relaxed when asked by reporters: "We lost a home game. But it was nothing, I couldn't find a reason to win this game, so I accepted it. ”

"I don't want to stress too much about how good Chick is, I just regret I didn't have this Clippers in the prime of the Spurs." Popovich concluded with this sentence, he obviously didn't want to talk more about this group of boring reporters, who didn't know anything about basketball anyway, they always focused on things full of drama, and they didn't have a high level of literacy about basketball itself.

Xiao Popovic's temper is becoming more and more similar, he didn't even give an interview, and left the stadium early after the win, preferring to sit on the team bus and quietly look through the photos of the children.

Vince Carter, who scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists tonight, appeared in the post-game press conference and was very excited: "I haven't played a game with this rhythm for a long time, and although I can't do a few big windmill dunks as easily as I did when I was younger, it still feels good to score a basketball in the restricted area, and it still makes my blood boil." ”

Vince Carter has been emphasizing how much he loves himself tonight, and he even said he wants to play every game like tonight.

"I don't want to continue working outside in order to extend my career, it's useless other than to get me more income. It only kills my love for basketball. So, I'm going to play two more seasons in earnest, and when I feel like I can't get into the box and get a dunk, I'm going to leave the NBA. ”

"I used to be a Canadian flyer!"

Tonight's game gave Vince Carter a lot of excitement.

Byron Davis doesn't feel much of it, and although he doesn't make as much money as Vince Carter in his career, he's clearly in a better financial position right now, and he has a lot of lucrative investments in Los Angeles. So, he didn't think about when he should leave the league at all, and now he only thinks about winning a championship. And then...... Whatever. You can retire at any time.

So he behaved quite easily in front of reporters: "I don't think I'm a hero, I don't think I'm back to the top, I just did what I should do, Xiao gave me the task, and then I completed the task, it's that simple!" ”

"Of course we're going to the Western Conference Finals, and that's not disrespectful to San Antonio, they're a really strong team and it's hard not to respect them. However, we're stronger, aren't we? Tonight's game has proven it all, Xiao has enough intelligence to tackle Spurs and we are better than them. ”

Byron Davis is very honest and very direct.

Although his directness made the reporters of the San Antonio Spurs very unconvinced and unacceptable.

However, he has already said it.

And no one on the Spurs' side came forward to give a clear rebuttal.

Three days later, the third game between the Spurs and the Clippers took place in Los Angeles.

As Byron Davis said, Shaw has enough intelligence to take care of the Spurs, and the Clippers are superior to the Spurs.

Therefore, although the game was very intense, the ending was still peaceful, and the Clippers defended the home court and pulled the overall score to 2:1.

Then came Game 4, and the Los Angeles Clippers still won.

The three-game winning streak undoubtedly swollen Bill Simmons' mouth, and at the same time, it also made those guys with ulterior motives completely give up the illusions in their hearts. Whether it's the Lakers or the Heat, they have to be ready to take on the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Lakers, in particular, are about to beat the Thunder, and they may soon face the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

All the games in this Western Conference Finals will be held at Staples Arena, just buy your own tickets.

For the upcoming Western Conference Finals, the Clippers actually don't have much preparation, and their more important thing at this time is to rush to San Antonio and get the last win!
