In 2013, Tim Duncan, born on April 25, 1976, is 37 years old.

Duncan played in 69 games in the regular season, averaging 30.1 minutes per game, and also averaged 17.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.7 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers per game, while shooting 50.2 percent from the field.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, Duncan's playing time increased to 35.0 minutes, shooting percentage dropped, but his scoring went up a bit.

Obviously, Popovich, a bad old man, gave Duncan plenty of rest in the regular season in order to make a push in the playoffs.

And Spurs' other center, Split, can be regarded as liberating Duncan, and his height of 2.11 meters is still reliable as a meat shield card forward.

Especially against a center like Jordan Jr., Split even has some small advantages

The first quarter of the Western Conference Finals played more than 6 minutes, and Popovich on the sidelines almost laughed, and the bad old man was in a very good mood.

Especially when Split passed inside to Duncan, who scored an easy 2-point basket against Turiaf's defense, Popovich stood on the sidelines and laughed and applauded.

I haven't fought such a rich battle in recent years!

With 5:28 left in the first quarter, the Spurs had a three-point lead at 15:18.

Coach De Nagro stood on the sidelines frowning, the Clippers' offense was not a big problem, but the defense couldn't withstand it.

The quality of the Spurs' coverage is high, and the 31-year-old Tony Parker is also considered the peak of his career, and he can still score consecutive points in the face of Paul's defense.

Chris Paul has been trying to speed up, but unfortunately the Spurs' offensive success rate is too high, and Tim Duncan, although he is older, is also very good at protecting the rim with Split.

The 37-year-old man is still the core of the defense, and after Turyaf failed to eat cakes twice, he became a blocker and dismantling tool with peace of mind.

Noticing that Li Ze was constantly entangled by Leonard again, this time Paul did not choose to fall to the position to organize the offense, but quickly completed a block with Jordan Jr. on the three-point line, and after getting rid of Tony Parker's defense, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Split, who had just been delayed, slid to the right back, saw Paul suddenly change direction at the free throw line, didn't keep up with the rhythm for a while, and finally watched Paul step back and drift to the right to complete a mid-range jumper!

"Bang!"

As soon as the ball popped up, Jordan Jr. immediately rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, and after the ball was clicked, Tuliav followed up with another click, and finally Jordan Jr. successfully picked up the frontcourt rebounds on the heads of Duncan and Split with his excellent jump.

Paul re-received the ball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and immediately made an offensive gesture.

Li Ze, who slowed down an offensive round in the bottom left corner, leaned on Leonard with his left shoulder, and the two pulled each other, at which time Li Ze suddenly accelerated and quickly bounced out to the left wing outside the three-point line to receive the ball.

Leonard's defense still worked, making Li Ze's position to receive the ball one step away from the three-point line.

Seeing that Li Ze's center of gravity was low after receiving the ball, and his left foot took a quick tentative step to the left front, Leonard did not dare to easily adjust the defensive center of gravity for a while.

In the next second, while Li Ze, who had a fast action rate, retracted his feet, his left foot was extremely fast and sent force backwards, and then suddenly stepped forward to the right, and his right hand released the ball synchronously, and he jumped out all of a sudden.

Leonard, who was half a beat slower to react, was stuck half of his body, and when he wanted to interfere again, he was directly squeezed by Li Ze.

Although the penalty area was very crowded, Li Ze, who cut in the middle, saw the opportunity, rushed to the paint area, and then jumped with both feet and quickly took off.

Duncan under the basket did not stretch out his hand, but Split immediately rushed up, jumped up and blocked the two collided in the air, and Split's hard block hit Li Ze's shoulder.

But with his excellent ability to stay in the air, Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, turned the dunk into a pick-and-roll, dodged the defense in the air, and waited until Split landed, drifted to the bottom right of the basket, and picked the ball to the basket!

"Squeak!"

"Bang!"

The whistle blows and the ball goes in, and the ball hits the board into the basket with precision.

After landing on the ground, Li Ze staggered slightly, but still stood firm, and after hearing the whistle, he simply waved his fist at the camera under the basket, but there was some regret in his heart, Duncan was obviously prepared, and Split may have fouled the old man.

The Staples Arena erupted in another round of cheers, and Los Angeles fans loved to watch the difficult goals.

"The Spurs' defense was very targeted, not giving Kayce an easy chance to shoot three-pointers, but the consecutive breakaways also allowed Split to get two fouls, and Coach Popovich may have adjusted the lineup in advance."

As soon as Jeff Van Gundy's words fell, when Li Ze made free throws, Burrece Dior replaced Split, and Ginobili also replaced Danny Green, and the Spurs turned the lineup into one big and four small, GDP combined.

Seeing the lineup of the Spurs in front of him, Li Ze felt a little helpless, the opportunity to beat the elderly was gone, and he could only continue to teach new students.

With the penalty hit steadily, the two sides fought again to 18:18, and Leonard, who ran to the frontcourt, was a little skeptical at this time.

The past defensive experience is no longer useful, Li Ze's three threats are not habitual, the left and right sides are almost exactly the same, unable to predict the opponent's attack, and was suddenly numb after the opening

As the Spurs' lineup became one big and four small, the speed of sharing the ball suddenly accelerated, and Turiaf, who defended Dior, seemed very uncomfortable, and was suddenly pulled to the outside, and then was crushed by the opponent to break through, causing a foul on the beater.

The Clippers are also full of fouls, Chris Paul already feels that something is wrong, the Spurs have too many people who can handle the ball, at this time, except for Leonard, several other people on the court can take the ball and compare, the space is huge, and the defense almost didn't keep up this round.

"Switch your guards! Andrew, watch for the basket! ”

Hearing Paul's reminder, Jordan Jr. nodded immediately, and Duncan began to come to the two elbows on the left and right of the free throw line to respond, which also annoyed Jordan Jr., in contrast, he still preferred to carry the inside line.

It's a pity that in both series, both Gasol and Duncan have excellent ball quotients, and both have one-handed passes and can throw mid-range.

With Dio's two free throws, the Spurs took the lead again, and in the last few minutes of the first quarter, Li Ze finally took advantage of his breakthrough and successfully fed the cake, and Turiaf and Jordan Jr. scored consecutive points.

With 1:48 left in the first quarter, the Clippers also began to rotate, and Tucker was given a chance to play.

On the Spurs' side, Gary Neal replaced Tony Parker, Danny Green replaced Leonard, and Matt Bonner replaced Tim Duncan.

Li Ze returned to the bench, and as soon as he sat in his seat, he saw the Spurs put on a five-outside lineup.

On the Clippers' side, Bledsoe, Jamal Crawford, Ray Allen, Tucker, and Hollins are also barely matched.

However, when he saw Ginobili blocking and dismantling at the No. 5 position, Matt Bonner bounced the ball outside and hit a three-point shot, Li Ze rubbed his eyebrows, the opponent had too many three-point points.

In the first quarter, 28:31, the Clippers trailed by three points.

The Staples Arena was a bit noisy at this time, the Spurs' offense was not fast-paced, and almost suppressed the Clippers' transition offense, too many positional battles, and could only rely on Li Ze and Paul to complete most of the offense.

So despite scoring a lot of points, there are no flashy dunks and no quick transitions, which is somewhat similar to the Grizzlies' game, and some Clippers fans have begun to worry about the team.

"The Clippers need to improve their defense and give the Spurs 31 points in the first quarter, which shows that something is wrong with the defense!"

"Kayce was 5-of-7 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line for 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, while Paul was 2-of-6 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free throw line for 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

Jeff Van Gundy was optimistic about the Clippers before the game, but after the first quarter of the game, it became a wall grass and fell to the Spurs, judging from the situation on the court, the Spurs did play more team.

"The Clippers' three-point shot doesn't seem to be open, maybe they need to continue to respond from the outside!"

Commentator Mike Brin immediately shook his head when he saw that the Clippers were 0-of-4 from the outside, compared to the Spurs, who had thrown 10 three-pointers and hit 4 of them, and the tactics on both sides were completely different.

Coach De Nagro didn't seem to feel comfortable with the bench in the second quarter, and after playing less than two minutes, he immediately replaced Chris Paul with Bledsoe, who played mediocre on the court.

While Gary Neal and Matt Bonner scored back-to-back points for the Spurs, the Clippers responded in the same way.

Jamal Crawford took advantage of Hollins' blocking, carried his left hand with a dashing back, shook off Ginobili's defense, and suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch with his right hand to the top of the arc, and then pulled it up and threw it!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

The bells and whistles sent a cheer at Staples Arena, and when Ray Allen received Paul's breakaway from the left wing and hit another three-pointer, head coach Popovich called a timeout.

With 7 minutes and 52 seconds left in the second quarter, the two sides got back their main forces, and on the Clippers' side, Ray Allen was still on the court, and Matt Barnes, who had an average hand, continued to rest.

After Li Ze came on the court, the expressionless Leonard came to him again, the two were almost the same figure, but Li Ze's height was not watery, and he was slightly taller than Leonard.

The Clippers attacked, and Li Ze directly asked for the ball with his back in the left blocking area.

Due to the absence of Griffin, the tactical coaching staff of some big men who are on the line has also been directly canceled, and the Spurs' outside defense is not weak, and if they want to reduce mistakes, the simpler and rougher the tactics, the better.

Leonard was very flexible, constantly going around the front defense, not allowing Li Ze to receive the ball easily, and when Paul at the top of the arc dribbled in the direction of the left wing, Li Ze just stuck Leonard behind him.

When the opponent interfered with the front defense again, Li Ze suddenly turned around dexterously, swiped in the direction of the baseline direction, cut into the basket, and then jumped quickly.

Paul's pass was also just right, Li Ze caught the ball in the air, and then stayed in the air for a short time, condescendingly, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and slammed the ball into the basket!

“Paul！ Beautiful pass！ Catch and finish！ ”

Commentator Mike Brin instantly raised his voice when he saw a wonderful open dunk.

Li Zexian, who easily completed the empty dunk, stood under the basket and patted his chest and yelled by the way.

The fans at the scene also shouted along with the wow, compared to the defensive battle, it was better to dunk.

Popovich on the sidelines saw that Leonard was scratching his head again, and he was also a little helpless, but the coaching staff had already expected this situation, yelled a few times to remind the players, and then gave Parker a tactical gesture.

When Li Ze retreated, he also followed Lellard to the bottom corner of the right side, and Li Ze, who played to the No. 3 position, mainly paid attention to the card position, and the opponent was very good at rushing to grab rebounds.

But in the next few rounds, Danny Green seemed to find his groove, not only hitting a three-pointer with the ball, but then breaking through in a row to hit a two-point stop.

Despite the Clippers' response, scoring seven points in a row made Coach De Nagro immediately ask for a timeout.

After adjusting the lineup again, Matt Barnes came on and Li Ze started to defend Danny Green.

As a result, in the next two rounds, Leonard received Duncan's pass and cut to the basket, scored two points, and then used Parker's breakthrough to score a three-pointer on the left wing.

"Hey, boy! Don't try to get a point from me! ”

Matt Barnes couldn't get over his face, and couldn't help but spew trash words at the rookie next to him.

Leonard just looked at the veteran for a while, then left the back of the opponent's head, and quickly retreated without saying a word.

This kind of performance suddenly made Matt Barnes angry enough, what is the rookie angry?

On the Spurs' side, everyone except Split is brave and keeps scoring.

The Clippers seemed to be overwhelmed, and after Matt Barnes came on the court, two open shots missed, and Danny Green's defensive position moved to the elbow zone.

Li Ze's blocking and dismantling was trapped, and Paul's blocking and dismantling began to be assisted.

With Duncan hitting another mid-range shot from the right block, the score came to 52:47 with 2:07 left in the first half.

This time Paul quickly gave the ball to Li Ze, and then immediately commanded to clear the side early.

Li Ze dribbled through the half court and came to the right wing outside the three-point line, and Leonard stepped on the three-point line and kept an eye on Li Ze's movements.

Unlike a small man like Tony Allen, Leonard is very confident in his defense.

His excellent height and reach allowed him to stay a small step away for most of tonight's game, which was good for the defense to break through, and with his excellent reach, he could easily complete outside interference.

Glancing at the positions of other teammates, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, slowed down the pace of dribbling, continuously dribbled under his crotch and changed direction before his body, and slowly approached the three-point line.

When approaching Leonard's defense, Li Ze, who was constantly swaying with the rhythm of the dribble, suddenly changed direction in front of his left hand very quickly, his body's center of gravity suddenly lowered, and he pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand.

Leonard was shaken so much that he subconsciously slid to the left rear, saw Li Ze dribbling back with his right hand, returned to the three-point line, and completed the retreat again, and immediately jumped up to pounce!

Soon, Leonard in the air found that the last step was fatal, his defense and Li Ze's projection were not in the same rhythm at all, and he could only watch Li Ze shoot easily outside the three-point line.

“Kayce！ Cross over！ OH——！ He puts it in！ ”

Commentator Mike Brin immediately shouted, and on the Clippers' bench, the atmosphere team also flicked the towel, a 3-pointer of complete individual ability, and once again brought the score of the two sides to 52:50.

Li Ze did not celebrate the goal, but quickly retreated, and clapped his hands by the way:

"Defend against the next two rounds and we will be able to overtake the score!"

Duncan patted Leonard on the shoulder, signaling not to take this round to heart, and Danny Green on the side felt glad that he didn't have to defend Li Ze tonight.

In the last few minutes of the second quarter, Popovich replaced Matt Bonner on the court, and with Duncan always in the high post, the Spurs' empty interior left Parker with a huge space to break through.

Parker broke through in a row to help the Spurs score points, and Li Ze's free throws and Paul's mid-range made the Clippers bite the score.

At 56:54, the Spurs entered the second half with a two-point advantage.

At halftime, in the Clippers locker room, Chris Paul looked a little tired, put a towel over his head, and took small sips to replenish the water.

The Spurs were tougher than he expected, and if Prince's help defense was based on his height and arm length, then Danny Green was simply quicker.

Although the Spurs did not contain him, the delay in defense also had a big impact on Paul.

Coach De Nagro has long looked at the technical statistics, Paul was 4 of 10 in the half, 4 of 4 free throws, and got 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, which is a good performance, but if you want to win, it is not enough:

"We're going to keep getting up to speed! Get the game up to speed, and at the same time, be more resolute on the inside after receiving the pass, don't forget that this is our home stadium and free throws are also a good way to score! ”

The assistant coach on the side pushed the whiteboard up, and simply helped the players sort out the offensive routines, and the Spurs blossomed more, if they continued to play slowly, the game might be gone.

Little Jordan, who was sitting next to Li Ze, had straight eyes, and in the first half of the game, he actually got a lot of opportunities, but he was 1 of 4 and 0 of 2 free throws, which still allowed him to only get 2 points and 5 rebounds.

Li Ze helplessly patted the shoulder of the cake spitting man, and little Jordan reacted and hurriedly looked at the whiteboard.

On the ESPN commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy has completely turned into a Spurs fan:

"The Spurs have performed exceptionally well, whether it is the starting lineup or the bench players, they have done their job well, continuous ball sharing, accurate outside three-pointers, we may have underestimated the Spurs!"

Commentator Mike Brin also nodded, and the Spurs' offense seemed particularly fluid, but he made another point:

"In the half, the Spurs shot 22-of-40 from the field and 55% from the field, and 6-of-13 from the field with a 46.2% shooting rate, but they only led by two points with such an excellent performance."

Kayce scored 24 points in the half, 8-of-13 from the field, including 1-of-2 from 3-pointers and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, which was almost half of the Clippers' points, and maybe he will continue to play in the last round in this series!"

At the start of the second half, the Clippers made the first adjustment, with Ray Allen starting, but the veteran had to face Leonard on the defensive end first, with Lee Ze in charge of defending Danny Green, who had a good first half.

The Spurs took the lead and the fans in the stadium began to shout loudly for the home team's defense:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Chris Paul's defense was constantly distracting, but after the top of the arc and Split's block, Parker still got rid of Paul's entanglement.

Accelerated breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, quickly changed direction in front of his body during the journey, and then turned around with the gyro, relying on Little Jordan to rush to within three seconds, and easily pick up the basket!

"Oh!"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but let out an exclamation, it was indeed too fast, Jordan Jr. just made a reaction with a raised hand, and Parker sent the ball into the basket.

Paul slapped his thigh in annoyance, he barely managed to squeeze through the cover.

The Clippers attacked, also at the No. 5 position, Paul changed direction in front of his body, accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, noticed that Duncan on the right side near the baseline suddenly assisted in the defense, and Paul on the move made a hidden ground pass, easily distributing the ball to Turiaf.

The latter received the ball and dunked it when he took it, but Duncan, who came back from the reflex, jumped up and interfered, and finally the ball was dunked on the back edge of the basket and popped high!

Little Jordan flicked the ball outward, Li Ze's eyes were quick, and he accepted the rebound in the front court, and the scene suddenly cheered.

At the top of the arc, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand, while protecting the ball with his back, he signaled that he didn't need to block and dismantle, and felt that Leonard's defense on his side was not fierce.

Leonard just slid to the right back, Li Ze suddenly dribbled under his crotch, and after an emergency stop, he lowered his center of gravity again, and dribbled under his crotch twice in a row with his right hand, making a confusing shake, and slowly approaching the three-point line.

Leonard, who also lowered the center of gravity of the defense, saw the timing and suddenly confidently slashed the ball with his left hand.

Li Ze reacted faster, his right hand wrapped around the ball behind his back sharply, and then he took a step forward, dribbling vigorously with his left hand, and at the same time, his right foot directly exerted force and retreated sharply.

Completely got rid of Leonard's defense, with the help of the strength of the ball's rebound, Li Ze ignored the opponent's side defense, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

“Kayce Open the three！ He got it！ ”

The sudden three-pointer made the commentator Mike Brin shout.

The moment he saw Li Ze's shot, Leonard turned his head violently after landing, and when he saw the ball falling into the basket, he immediately regretted his previous grab.

Li Ze just chuckled at the other party, and then immediately retreated.

Maybe it's because he's overconfident in his defense, Leonard always leaves some space for Li Ze to dribble after a strong confrontation, and unlike Tony Allen's kraft candy consumption defense, Li Ze feels that Leonard may really want to defend him.

As the game continued in the third quarter, the rhythm of the court gradually returned to the side of the Clippers, and Li Ze and Paul began to speed up wildly, taking turns to play singles.

Turyaf and Jordan Jr. on the inside are no longer eating, and the two are responsible for rushing for rebounds, and Ray Allen is responsible for transitioning the ball and opening up space.

Paul's offense also relies on blocking, encountering help defense, and passing the ball, while Li Ze is almost indiscriminate at this time, no matter who the defender in front of him is, as long as he completes a few dribbles, finds his rhythm, and throws the ball.

Three-point shots, two-point lengths, breakaway throws carrying defenders, fouls on up and down steps, and completely unreasonable offensive options allow the Clippers to score every game.

Coach Popovich's timeout didn't make any difference, and Leonard, although he didn't like to talk, was just as energetic.

The fans at the scene saw the Clippers suddenly rise to momentum, and they all shouted wildly.

Danny Green's three-point shot hit the iron, and the long rebound popped up, which was directly accepted by Li Ze, and the Spurs retreated with all their might, not giving the Clippers a chance to switch offense.

When Li Ze dribbled across the half court with the ball, Leonard was still on his side, and the Spurs had already completed their defensive positioning by this time.

Li Ze only paused slightly at the top of the arc, then twisted his body hiddenly, and after exerting force in his hips, he suddenly accelerated with the ball in his right hand.

The stride was huge, coupled with the sudden emergency stop, and he easily stuck half of his body again, Leonard hurriedly slid to the left back, and Li Ze, who broke through to the free throw line, dribbled under his crotch very quickly at this time.

The body shook to the left, Li Ze's left hand paused slightly, Leonard hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, and when Li Ze completed the change of direction in front of the body again, Leonard, who wanted to chase the defense, was directly shaken and sat on the floor.

"Oh!!"

The fans at the scene followed the screaming, and after completing the front change of the body, Li Ze made two strong dribbles and rushed to the paint area with a big jump, and quickly rose into the air after jumping with both feet.

Ignoring Tim Duncan, who jumped up in front of him, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, pulled his arm back, held the block, and smashed the ball into the basket!

"Squeak!"

"Boom!" The ball goes in and the man pours it down!

“OH——！ Kayce-Li！ My god！ ”

After landing, Duncan stumbled and hit the basketball hoop before avoiding a slam into the street, and commentators Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy screamed frantically at the same time.

Li Ze beat his chest at the camera under the basket with an expressionless face, showing the appearance of a big man, and the fans at the scene screamed and screamed.

The second half of the game switched directions, so Steve Ballmer was sitting right on the Spurs' side, at which point the old man was agitated and stood up and threw punches wildly.

It's just that his face was flushed, which almost made Li Ze, who was pretending to be X, laugh out loud directly, and hurriedly maintained his facial paralysis, stepped forward to bump fists with the old man, and then high-fived everyone on the Clippers team one by one, and finally slowly walked to the free throw line.

The protagonist of Popovich on the sidelines no longer has a smiling face, the bad old man is a little confused, the game is completely different from what he expected, continuous high-difficulty shots, and the hit rate is still rising?

As Li Ze stood on the free throw line, the audience broke out into a huge shout again:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

Li Ze adjusted his breathing and hit the penalty steadily, which made the fans at the scene cheer again.

Leonard was a little dazed, his eyes looked straight at Li Ze, while Duncan was a little annoyed, young people don't talk about martial arts!

At this time, there were 3 minutes and 02 seconds left in the third quarter, and the score on the court was 70:78.

The Spurs' offense, which has been pressing the rhythm, is not much of a problem, but Li Ze's sudden outburst made the number of rounds in the Clippers increase dramatically and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Ginobili, who came off the bench, forced a foul on Li Ze and hit both free throws to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

Chris Paul then broke through with the ball, causing a foul on Split and also standing on the free throw line.

Paul, who made both free throws, kept reminding his teammates loudly that the defense was down:

"Andrew, help me delay!"

Chris Paul, who smelled the breath of victory, also began to fight hard at this time, and he had to defend Tony Parker.

And Li Ze has already entered the focus mode, and in the second half of the quarter, he turned on the [Enter Rhythm] Buff, coupled with continuous difficult shots, the [Green Machine] badge also brought an additional bonus to his speed.

After Matt Barnes came on the court, the veteran's pace couldn't keep up with Leonard's cut, and Li Ze was responsible for defending Leonard again.

When Duncan mentioned the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line, the Spurs began to rotate quickly and cut in a succession without the ball.

When he briefly escaped Li Ze's pursuit around Duncan, Leonard easily received the pass, then rushed to the basket and took off to dunk!

grabbed the ball with his left hand and pressed the ball to the basket fiercely, and the next second, Leonard suddenly heard the cheers of the fans in his ears, and then a strong force came from the ball.

Li Ze, who was chasing the defense, took off from behind, and the latecomer came first, easily blocking Leonard's dunk, and the two wrestled briefly in the air, and finally Leonard lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor again.

Seeing Li Ze rush with the ball, Duncan just wanted to make a tactical foul, but was directly shaken by Li Ze's right hand in and out!

Dangling left and right, Li Ze accelerated wildly, saw Chris Paul also rush across the halfcourt, immediately got on the ball, and then ran without the ball to speed up again.

2-on-1 in frontcourt, Tony Parker just chased down Paul, only to find that the opponent had sent a high toss pass.

Li Ze, who rushed to the paint area, jumped high, and after catching the ball in the air, he took advantage of the situation to pick up the ball in a circle, then stretched his body and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

"Boom!" The windmill storm is a good deal!

"Crazy offensive show! Incredible! The Clippers hit a wave in the 3rd quarter! ”

Jeff Van Gundy also raised the volume of his commentary, and the wall-to-wall farmer has become a fan of the Clippers again.

Li Ze, who completed the empty dunk, raised his hands and signaled the scene to get high, and Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop blushed with excitement and threw his fists wildly, no matter what the others were, the old man was excited.

The Staples Arena was completely fried, and the crazy offensive performances, coupled with continuous violent dunks, completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and seeing Li Ze and Chris Paul complete the chest collision celebration, Popovich on the sidelines finally did not choose to take a timeout.

By the end of the third quarter, at 78:90 and 22:36 in the single quarter, the Clippers completely reversed the game.

"Unbelievable! Kayce was 8-of-10 in the quarter, including 2-of-3 three-pointers and 3-of-3 free throws, scoring 21 points in a single quarter, which was crazy! Scored 45 points in three quarters! Maybe we're witnessing a new record! ”

Commentator Mike Brin has been completely dumbfounded, and the crazy shot can still maintain a high hit rate, which is simply not human.

There was silence on the Spurs bench at this time, and the coaching staff seemed to have seen the problems in defense, and the assistant coach sighed and told Leonard:

"Don't let Kayce dribble from the three-point line, don't let him find his rhythm and push him inside the three-point line, Kawai, what you need to do is consume him, not defend him."

Leonard hunched over and gasped for breath, heard the assistant coach's words and said nothing, and finally noticed Popovich's gaze, and then said in a muffled voice:

"I see."

On the Clippers' side, Chris Paul's physical fitness was almost overdrawn, and he only rested for three minutes in this game, plus only one day off after the game with the Grizzlies.

Paul was 3-of-5 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line in the third quarter, and Paul, who scored 10 points, did his job, and Tony Parker scored only four points on 2-of-5 shooting.

The Spurs' fitness was not a problem, and Parker was still full of energy, and the game went straight into the fourth quarter.

Coach De Nagro saw that Paul was no longer good, so he simply let Li Ze play directly to the No. 1 position, and Crawford, Ray Allen, Turyaf, and Jordan Jr. went directly to the top.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Li Ze played directly against Tony Parker, and in this game, he almost defended the Spurs' backcourt.

The Clippers took the lead in attacking, and Li Ze also slowed down the pace at this time, holding down 8 seconds to dribble past the halfcourt, Leonard's defense also changed, and began to learn from Tony Allen, immediately sticking to the defense, and also tried to make a steal.

Li Ze first protected the ball with his back, suddenly turned around slightly with the ball in his left hand, and after switching to his right hand, he still firmly protected the ball at his side, and then accelerated with his right hand with all his might.

The two kept fighting, and Li Ze crushed Leonard to the right elbow area of the free throw line, and then immediately turned his back and hit the frame!

Leonard was a little dazed, and he was a little difficult to understand why Li Ze's physical strength was so abundant.

The chest was hit and stuffy, seeing Li Ze pull the ball back sharply with his right hand, and his shoulders swaying, Leonard failed to react defensively for a while, and the next second saw Li Ze quickly twist forward and throw a mid-range backward jumper!

“Kayce！ Fade away！ That's good！ ”

Commentator Mike Brin shouted again, and at the same time helped Li Ze count the scores in his heart.

“Too easy！”

Despite the decline in physical fitness, Li Ze still silently pretended to be X with a expressionless face, facial paralysis opposite facial paralysis, comparing who is more ruthless.

Hearing Li Ze's taunt, Leonard was silent, his physical fitness had dropped greatly.

Seeing this situation, Popovich on the sidelines could only greet his players again, make a tactical gesture, and signal everyone to hold steady.

In the following minutes, the Spurs also hit the response ball and kept wrapping up Lee, but Crawford as the receiver and Ray Allen as the catch-and-shoot allowed the Clippers' scoring to continue to rise.

At this time, Li Ze lowered the pace of the game, eager to hit each ball for 24 seconds, but everyone in the Spurs was a little anxious and began to speed up.

When the game entered the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the score on the court came to 92:102, and the fans in Los Angeles shouted excitedly that victory was in sight.

Chris Paul, who had rested for half a quarter, appeared again, and Li Ze didn't have to hold the ball, and he could just breathe a sigh of relief.

The Clippers' outside shooting percentage began to decline, but as the game time continued to wear out, the margin eventually pulled back and forth by six points.

With the buzz of the finale, in the end, 104:111, the Clippers won the game with difficulty and ushered in their own Western Conference Finals opener.

"Congratulations to the Clippers! Wonderful Western Conference Finals! Congratulations to Kayce, 18-of-29, including 3-of-7 three-pointers, 12-of-12 free throws, 51 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 turnovers, 1 steal and 1 block. ”

Jeff Van Gundy was also convinced, and began to praise Li Ze wildly again.

When the playing time came to 45 minutes, Li Ze's physical fitness also bottomed out, and he looked a little tired after the game, and everyone in the Clippers gathered around Li Ze and frantically celebrated the victory of the game.

It was also the first Western Conference Finals victory in the Clippers' history.

ESPN's famous sideline reporter Doris Burke looked at Li Ze, who was constantly wiping his sweat, and immediately motioned for the camera to record this moment.

"Kayce congratulations on your G1 win and another 50+ in the Western Conference Finals, I think all the fans are very curious about how you feel!"

Li Ze wiped the sweat on the top of his head with the arm guard of his left hand, and then said teasingly with a smile:

"I'd like to have 5 beef burgers to replenish my strength!"
