Chapter 300: Old-School Basketball (9500 Words Chapter)

As of 2013, in the long history of the NBA, only three players have scored 50+ in the division finals.

In the 92~93 season, in the Eastern Conference Finals G4, Michael Jordan was 18 of 30, including 6 of 9 three-pointers and 12 of 14 free throws, shooting 60% from the field and 66.7% from three-point range, and scored 54 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

In the 05~06 season, in the Western Conference Finals G5, Dirk Nowitzki was 14 of 26, including 5 of 6 three-pointers and 17 of 18 free throws, shooting 53.8% from the field and 83.3% from three-point range, and scored 50 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

In the 10~11 season, in the Western Conference Finals G3, Li Ze was 20 of 24, including 10 of 12 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, with a shooting rate of 83.3%, and 54 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

It was never easy to score 50 points in the division finals, and in '11, Lee's 54 points helped the Thunder weather the Mavericks' three-point frenzy and eventually win the championship that season.

So on the night of May 19, 2013, after Li Ze scored 51 points in the Western Conference Finals again to help the Clippers win G1, Amika's sports media remembered the crazy Western Conference Finals in 11.

In addition, there was only one game that night, and the heat exploded directly, and TNT made a post-game review for the first time, but Charles Barkley was a little embarrassed at this time.

Back then, he cheekily thought that the division finals were no longer playoffs, and in the past two years, he has been touting that his 56 points are the highest shooting percentage in the playoffs, but Li Ze scored another 51 points tonight, which reminded everyone of 11 years.

Is the Division Final a playoffs? Absolutely!

However, it is okay to make a detailed distinction between the data, and it is not a big problem to insist on dividing the first round, semi-finals, regional finals, and finals.

The cheeky Charles Barker once again pretended to be stupid in the studio, and never mentioned Li Ze's outrageous data back then:

"Congratulations to Kayce, who has set the Clippers' all-time record of 51 points again, and I'm sure it's hard for a player to break that record."

The other three people in the studio all looked at Charles Barkley playfully at this time, and Kenny Smith, as his old partner, took the lead in teasingly saying:

"Chuck, two years have passed, and tonight Kayce has taken us back to 11 years, God! It was definitely the craziest game I've ever witnessed, with 83.3 percent shooting, 83.3 percent three-point shooting, and someone doesn't seem to have admitted some records. ”

As soon as Charles Barkley heard this, he immediately retorted with a glare:

"Hey! It's the divisional finals! It's completely different from the playoffs! We were talking about the playoffs and the record is still mine. ”

"Oh!"

“WOW!”

As soon as O'Neal, Kenny Smith, and host Ernnie Johnson heard this, they all immediately followed suit, and the three of them screamed strangely, and finally Charles Barkley touched his head in front of the camera funny, and then continued to say stiffly:

“OK! I'll officially admit that Kayce has the highest 50-point shooting percentage this year, but he still needs to work hard, and don't forget that I scored 56 points back then! ”

When Kenny Smith heard this, he teased again:

"It's so rare, in order to take care of your emotions for the past two years, our technical statistics have been ridiculed by fans for two years, and now, it's time to show the real data leaderboard!"

The live director immediately gave a 50-point playoff leaderboard.

Li Ze has been 50+ three times, successfully tying the record set by Allen Iverson.

However, there has been news that Iverson is ready to officially retire, and perhaps it won't be long before Li Ze will become the active player with the most 50+ cuts in the playoffs.

Host Ernnie Johnson smiled and clapped his hands, then pulled the conversation back to the Western Conference Finals:

"The Spurs played great team basketball tonight, Parker scored 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting, Danny Green scored 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting, Leonard scored 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting, Duncan scored 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting, plus Split also scored 70 points on the starter's 70-point scoreline."

"Even though Ginobili had a mediocre hand and only scored eight points, Matt Bonner and Gary Neil scored 23 points and played very well off the bench, so why do you think the Spurs lost tonight?"

O'Neill looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and said in a rather relaxed tone:

"When a player shoots 62.1 percent and scores 51 points, it's really hard for the team to lose!"

In addition to Kayce's high score, Chris Paul made 9-of-20 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line for 24 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, and the Clippers only had 11 turnovers in total.

"The playoffs are a stage for superstars, obviously no one on the Spurs can solve Kayce, Tim Duncan is old, maybe they need a superstar!"

Charles Barkley is facing the camera again at this time, and he is talking serious nonsense:

"I think maybe the Spurs have had too long a break, this game hasn't been able to find their groove yet, G1 may just be a trial, I believe that the Spurs with the advantage on the inside will eventually win the series, don't forget that basketball is five people!"

Kenny Smith looked at the technical statistics and said with emotion:

"Chuck was right, it's true that basketball is five people, but for some superstars, they always play crazy games in key games!"

"I can't predict this series, but protecting the next home court is the most important thing for the Clippers right now, and don't forget that the day after tomorrow is the G2 game!"

“.”

At the post-match press conference, despite the loss, Popovich, a bad old man, seemed very calm, and in the face of questions from the media, he simply responded:

"I don't care if we win or lose a game, and our goal is to win a game away from home, even if we can't win, we're going to protect our home stadium as well!"

"There are seven games in the series and I believe the Spurs will come out on top."

Chris Paul, who was still looking tired in a gray suit, played 39 minutes in the Clippers' press conference and won the game.

The ESPN reporter saw that Paul was in a good mood and immediately asked a question:

"Paul, this is the first division finals of your career, and this is the first division finals in the history of the Clippers, how do you feel about winning this game?"

"I'm excited to make history for the team, you know, every game we win right now is a new record for the Clippers, it's an indescribable feeling, and I just hope that years from now, fans can remember these games and have fun."

Li Ze, who was wearing a dark blue suit, also recovered his spirits at this time, and after some business blowing, the Yahoo Sports reporter asked an irrelevant question:

"Kayce, which burger joint in Los Angeles do you think tastes the best?"

The audience immediately burst into laughter, and the game had just ended, and the team's owner, Steve Ballmer, almost jumped for joy.

After that, he waved his hand and announced that each of the fans who attended the stadium tonight could receive two cheese beef burgers, and they could receive vouchers with their tickets.

This decision kept the Clippers staff busy until midnight, but everyone didn't care about it, and everyone was excited to witness a new history of the team tonight.

When Li Ze heard such a question, he also laughed, and then immediately responded:

"As long as it's a meaty burger, I like it!"

“.”

There was no game on May 20th, and since the G2 game was to be played tomorrow night, the coaching staff chose to give the players a half-day off to let everyone relax.

After a night's rest, Li Ze's physical condition returned to the best state again, and the A+ grade functional drink is the endurance artifact.

By the time the afternoon recovery training session was held, everyone on the Clippers team was also a little confused, and the metamorphosis level recovery ability!

While the others were still stretching simply, Li Ze had already started to do catch-and-shoot training, and in last night's game, another badge was upgraded to purple.

Achievement Badge [Catch-and-Shoot Player] :(can be fused)

Improves mid-to-long-range catch-and-shoot accuracy, improves shot consistency, and reduces the impact of frontal defenders.

Although the badge's stats have not changed since the badge was upgraded to purple, the bonus effect has been greatly improved.

And Li Ze has already formulated a fusion route for this badge.

As long as the [Remote Shooter], [Remote Shooter], and [Circus Three] are brushed to purple, and [Hot Zone Hunter] is added, and a 5-in-1 is directly, he is already looking forward to the effect of the fusion badge.

However, except for Li Ze, other teammates still looked a little tired, especially Chris Paul, a large number of ball-holding offenses, so that his physical fitness was almost overdrawn, and he naturally failed to recover to his best condition in one night.

Coach De Nagro stood on the sidelines and naturally noticed this situation, and couldn't help but curse the NBA league for being inappropriate, this kind of schedule is very unfriendly to the Clippers!

If you lose your home court and fly to San Antonio, once the Spurs win two games, the series will be completely over, and a 1:3 counterattack will not happen.

Therefore, the G2 game is very important for the Clippers, as long as they can win the game, then there is no pressure on the road.

What's more, before G3, they have more than three days of rest, and as long as they survive the current difficult period, the Clippers can rely on home-court advantage to regain the initiative.

"It's an incredible recovery, he played 45 minutes last night, how old do you think Kayce can be when he plays?"

Jamal Crawford is in good shape, scoring 12 points in last night's game, and as he moved his body, he asked Ray Allen next to him.

"It's okay to be 40 years old, but I think if Kayce wins more titles, Kayce will definitely retire early, and it should be boring to have no opponents."

Ray Allen answered the question in a serious way, and the veteran's words were still very convincing, and he also scored nine points in the G1 game.

So far in the playoffs, Ray Allen is still shooting 40.3% from three-point range, and this kind of projection has completely beaten Bledsoe in the team.

With the help of two trainers, Li Ze continued to complete the catch and shoot, and Paul on the other side was in good health, so he came to the assistant coach and watched the game video again.

Billups has been informed by Denagro that he will be used as a substitute for tomorrow night's game.

Obviously, when it comes to key games, the coaching staff still trusts the veterans more, and most importantly, Bledsoe on the bench does not contribute much, and the increase in personnel rotation at this time is also to counter the Spurs' bench.

After a lap of activity, before the end of the training session, the assistant coach took everyone to review last night's game:

"With 11 turnovers and 22 assists, the Spurs did play a good game, but I want to remind everyone that Duncan is 37 years old! Don't be intimidated by him! ”

"The Spurs' low-post offense, Duncan is good one-on-one, but when he gets caught in the pack, he also concedes the ball, Andrew, watch your position."

Little Jordan, who was watching the video, heard the assistant coach's reminder and nodded quickly.

"PJ, after tomorrow night's game, protect the rebounding ball, and at the same time, if the opponent plays a block and switches defenses, we need to be tough defensively."

Tucker immediately patted his chest and signaled that it was okay, although he was only 1.98 meters tall, but with a weight of 118 kilograms, getting rebounds in a position was what he did best.

For Tony Parker who always likes to play the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, the Clippers don't have a good way, thinking about it, and finally the dead horse becomes a live horse doctor, Tucker and Tuilijav take turns to play the No. 4 position.

The little man is always more flexible than the big man, and even if it can cause a little more trouble, it will reduce some of the pressure on Paul, and finally the head coach of Denacro clapped his hands:

"Hold on guys! Win tomorrow night, there's no pressure on the road, we'll get plenty of rest, everyone does their job and every step forward we're making history! ”

Coach De Nagro, who graduated from the University of North Carolina, is obviously not very good at chicken soup for the soul, and Li Ze feels that when it comes to making soup, Coach Brooks is even better.

On the night of the 21st, after more than a day of rest, the Clippers welcomed the G2 game at home.

Whether it's a fun fan or a Clippers fan, they all came to Staples Arena early.

From the time Li Ze warmed up, cheers continued to be heard from the scene, and the continuous high-scoring performance in the playoffs has completely convinced the Los Angeles fans.

On the ESPN commentary seat, Jeff Van Gundy was dressed in a black suit, facing the camera and constantly making previews for the game:

"Neither side changed the starting lineup tonight, but I think the Spurs will continue to strengthen their defense in this game, and in the G1 game, they only scored 21 in the fourth quarter, and obviously the continuous games have caused a lot of physical problems for the Clippers."

"Coach Popovich won't let go of this opportunity, the Spurs are in better fitness than the Clippers, and once Kayce's form is in question, the Clippers will have a hard time withstanding the Spurs' offense."

Jeff Van Gundy didn't notice Li Zezheng behind him at all, nodding solemnly.

After outputting a pair of outputs to the camera, he found that Mike Brin next to him seemed to be holding back a smile, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Ze who had completed the warm-up.

"Good luck, Kayce, come on!"

Jeff Van Gundy smiled slightly, not embarrassed, and took the initiative to shake hands with Li Ze

After Li Ze left with a smile on his face, commentator Mike Brin began to say nice things for the Clippers:

"For such an important game, I'm sure the Clippers will get over it, fitness is not an issue, Chris Paul will give his full energy!"

As an old-school coach, Jeff Van Gundy's predictions were very accurate, and the Spurs opened the game with a straight burst of defensive intensity.

Apparently head coach Popovich also thinks the Clippers will have fitness problems.

In the Western Conference semifinals, Li Ze averaged nearly 43 minutes per game, made a large number of shots per game, and spared no effort on the defensive end.

After more than a day of rest, he played another Western Conference Finals, and Li Ze played 45 minutes, and also made 29 shots, and the defense was crazy to chase the Spurs' outside line.

The bad old man didn't believe that Li Ze's physical strength could withstand it at all, and his iron-beaten body should be tired!

Therefore, in the G2 game, after the adjustment of the coaching staff, Leonard no longer pursued to defend Li Ze, but chose to use kraft candy style defense like Tony Allen, always sticking to Li Ze's side, and not giving him the opportunity to catch the ball easily.

Coupled with the fact that the Spurs continued to slow down and grind their positions, the pace of the game became slower and slower.

However, the fans at the scene watched very energetically and kept cheering loudly for the home team.

“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”

In the rhythmic cheers of the defense, Tony Parker dribbled through the half, first played the block at the No. 5 position, and then used the breakthrough to score consecutive balls.

The Spurs patiently passed the ball and with eight seconds left on the offensive clock, they returned the ball to Duncan, who asked for the ball in the low post on the left.

In the face of Turyaf's defense, Duncan first put the ball with his left hand, hit it twice, and then quickly turned to the baseline.

Despite Turyaf's defensive misalignment, Jordan Jr., who was on the right side of the basket, quickly put his hands up and blocked the baseline.

was caught again, Duncan quickly distributed the ball to Split under the basket, but the pass was too low, and after receiving the ball, Split completed the adjustment, lifted the ball and put it to the basket, and was disturbed by Jordan Jr., who returned to the defense.

The ball slammed out of the frame, Turyaf under the basket died against Duncan, and Jordan Jr. took advantage of the situation to protect the rebound in the backcourt.

Split first grabbed it in frustration, and then immediately followed his teammates to quickly retreat, seeing the Clippers successfully defending, the fans at the scene cheered again!

After Paul took the ball, he quickly dribbled across the half court, noticed that Leonard was almost lying on Li Ze, protecting the ball with his back, and then made a tactical gesture with his right hand, holding the ball in his left hand and waiting for Li Ze to run at the logo.

Li Ze first asked for the ball with his back in the left blocking area, but Leonard kept entangled, constantly half-circling the front defense, so that Paul did not dare to pass the ball easily.

Li Ze also didn't want to spend too much energy in the blocking link, so when Turyaf came to the left blocking position to cover according to the tactics, Li Ze first used his left shoulder to lean on Leonard and moved to the elbow position.

Feeling the defensive pressure on his side, Li Ze stealthily crashed into the opponent, and then suddenly exerted force under his feet, made an arc, and moved quickly towards the baseline against Turiaf's cover.

Leonard thought for a while that Li Ze was going to slip to the bottom line, and immediately chased the defense desperately, but Li Ze came to the three-second zone, suddenly braked sharply, and then quickly reversed, and once again used Turiaf's cover to catch the ball.

After briefly escaping Leonard's defense, Li Ze just received a pass from Paul at the left elbow of the free throw line, and immediately turned around and raised the ball to a false display.

Leonard, who was desperately chasing the defense, hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense and raised his left hand high at the same time.

Seeing that the opponent was not shaken, Li Ze immediately stepped with his right foot, crossed the ball with his left hand to break through, and after dribbling two big steps, the left blocking area suddenly stopped, and then shook again.

This time, Leonard was shaken so much that he jumped up and blocked directly, and Li Ze took advantage of this time difference to hang the defense and shoot a mid-range jumper when Leonard was falling!

"My bowl!"

"Squeak!"

The fans at the scene saw the ball fall into the basket accurately, and there was another burst of cheers and shouts.

When Li Ze heard the whistle, he immediately threw a simple punch, then high-fived his teammates in celebration, and then stood on the free throw line with a relaxed expression.

Leonard, who was fouled, was also expressionless, holding his head in his hands in annoyance, looking at the score on the field, and feeling a little anxious.

At 15:20, at this time, there were 2 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, and the Spurs' slow-paced game did not seem to cause too much trouble to the Clippers, but their own offense was affected.

The Spurs took the opportunity to bring on Dio and Matt Bonner, replacing Split and Duncan, and began to rotate the roster.

The Clippers also brought in Tucker, with Ray Allen, Billups, Tuliav, Matt Barnes, and Paul coming off the floor.

As Li Ze's penalty hit steadily, the fans at the scene began to scream again.

Coach Popovich on the sidelines was a little confused, why is Li Ze still full of vitality?

At this time, the Spurs became a five-out lineup again, and on the Clippers' side, Li Ze began to be responsible for marking Tony Parker, Billups guarding Ginobili, Ray Allen defending Leonard, Tucker following Dior, and Jordan Jr. following Matt Bonner.

After receiving a pass from Ginobili, Parker played another pick-and-roll at the No. 5 position.

At this point, the Clippers' interior has been completely emptied, noticing that Li Ze squeezed through the screen, and Jordan Jr. chose to defend Matt Bonner.

Parker's speed was fast, and after blocking and dismantling, he accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand, and went straight to the inside, while Li Ze was also desperately chasing after him.

Perceiving the defense behind him, Parker suddenly changed the rhythm of the dribble, and after stepping with both feet, he leaned forward and quickly threw a high basket with his left hand!

Parker, who was full of confidence, thought that he could avoid Li Ze's defense this time, but the ball was still rising, and he was directly nailed by Li Ze!

"Smack!"

“OH——! Blocked by Kayce! ”

Commentator Mike Brin marveled at Li Ze's bounce speed and instantly raised the volume of the commentary.

Billups regained control of the ball and the Spurs quickly stepped back to prevent the Clippers from making easy transitions.

There was a big difference between this game and the strategy formulated by the coaching staff, and seeing Li Ze's full output at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, the Spurs, who had been frozen for 15 minutes for a few minutes, were a little numb.

The veteran Billups did not speed up the pace of dribbling, but after half court, he began to protect the ball with his back, ignoring the defense of Parker on his side, and after coming to the right wing, he gave Li Ze a look in the right blocking area.

Li Ze also first asked for the ball with his back, forcing Leonard to half-circle the front defense, and then suddenly turned around quickly and quickly slipped the bottom line again.

Billups, who was on the same side, used Tucker's cover to hang Parker, then accelerated to the top of the arc, saw Li Ze get rid of Leonard and came to the left blocking area, and immediately sent a horizontal pass.

The moment he received the pass, Li Ze immediately exerted force under his feet, took off into the air, drifted to the right, ignored the block of Leonard, and threw a backward jumper!

"Huh!" Scored again in the middle distance!

With the score coming to 15:23, the Clippers bench was jubilant, and Griffin, dressed casually, followed Paul to throw the towel wildly.

Leonard completely broke the defense this time, and Li Ze seemed to be sitting in the air, waiting for him to fall before completing the shot, which was beyond his cognition.

Although the Clippers' bench players don't seem to have found their groove yet, the Clippers' offensive space on the court has improved a lot.

With the two sides banging iron, Li Ze played the No. 5 position at the top of the arc at the last moment, and with the help of Jordan Jr.'s cover, he briefly got rid of Leonard's close defense, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Matt Bonner naturally shrank behind him, but Li Ze's speed was too fast, and he couldn't keep up for a while, and was easily snatched out of half of his body by Li Ze.

Jumping with both feet in the paint area, Li Ze hung Matt Bonner's defense, and quickly picked up the basket with his left hand, but the ball was not shot, and Dior, who came up to help defend, crashed directly into Li Ze, and finally all three fell to the ground.

"Oh!"

"Squeak!"

The fans in the stadium let out an exclamation and began to boo the Spurs players.

Li Ze fell directly on Dior, and immediately smashed the French fat man enough, Dior underestimated Li Ze's impact, but instead fought across the mountain and knocked Matt Bonner in the air away

Tucker pushed Ginobili away, who was about to come forward, and shouted at the same time:

"I warn you! Don't play these little tricks! ”

"Hey! Be respectful buddy! ”

Ginobili is also not a good-natured person, and immediately began to push, and the referee saw that the situation was not right, and continued to blow the whistle.

After Li Ze was pulled up by Ray Allen, the two sides almost twisted into a ball, and the fans at the scene also shouted wah-wah.

The Spurs have never been a good gentleman team, and the start was not smooth, and if Li Ze scored two more free throws, the difference would come to 10 points.

At that point, the Spurs will face a dilemma, speed up the pace of the game, and the Clippers will have to be happy.

Continue to grind positions and pray that the defense works? When everyone thought of the lively Li Ze, they all felt that this matter was a little unreliable, and it was obvious that there was a huge problem with the coaching staff's game strategy.

When the referee separated the two sides, Li Ze stood on the free throw line, hit two free throws steadily, and with Matt Bonner's casual throw, the first quarter of the game was completely over.

At 15:25, the Clippers took a 10-point lead.

"Very good game! As I expected, the Spurs opted to tighten up defensively, but alas, they ended up having some problems with their offense. ”

"Of course, I also want to praise Chris Paul and Kayce for limiting Parker, 2-of-7 and 0-of-1 from the free-throw line, and the Clippers showed their defensive toughness with Parker's excellent performance in the first quarter, and Duncan's only 1 point in the bag."

Jeff Van Gundy began to sing praises for the Clippers again, and commentator Mike Brin also smiled when he saw the situation:

"Maybe it was because we heard us, Kayce was in constant shape tonight, 4-of-7, 5-of-5 free throws, 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, getting half of the Clippers' points, obviously, Leonard's defense didn't bother him in any way!"

Tony Parker didn't play well, and on the Clippers' side, Chris Paul tried his best on the defensive end, and the offense pulled his hip directly, making 1 of 6 in the first quarter, cutting down 2 points and 3 assists.

Coach De Nagro also saw that Paul was not in the right state, so he directly rested Paul for half a quarter.

Li Ze didn't rotate until 8:19 of the second quarter, along with Turyaf and Jordan Jr.

The Spurs also brought on Duncan, Danny Green, Leonard, Matt Bonner, Ginobili, and Gary Neil.

Hollins on the inside to protect the basket was average, and on the defensive end was shot by Matt Bonner for a three-pointer, but fortunately, the veteran Billups did still have gas and also responded on the outside.

At 24:32, the Clippers were still leading by 8 points, and the two sides almost got back the main force.

The Spurs are big and small, Dio is still there, and Li Ze on the Clippers side is playing the No. 1 position, with Ray Allen and Crawford on the floor.

In the next game, in the case of Parker's dumb fire, Duncan, who faced the bag, cut points again, and could also deliver assists, and the defensive end also hated Turiaf, who ate cakes, and used fouls to prevent Little Joe's score.

A few rounds were scoreless, and the Spurs narrowed the gap to four points.

After Danny Green's cut was knocked out by Li Ze's interference, Turyaf protected the rebound, and Li Ze immediately made a tactical gesture after receiving the ball.

After half-time, Leonard stepped forward for the first time, at this time, Crawford stood on the left flank, as a contact point, Ray Allen quickly ran to the bottom right corner to open up space.

Tuliav lay in ambush on the bottom left of the basket, waiting to eat the cake, and Jordan Jr. immediately ran outside the three-point line to make a high block for Li Ze.

The quality of this blocking and dismantling is good, Li Ze quickly changed direction in front of his left hand, stuck to Little Jordan's body, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Breaking free from Leonard's defense, Li Ze had just dribbled to the right wing beyond the three-point line, and Duncan's delay immediately followed.

Li Ze on the three-point line first raised the center of gravity of his body, then twisted his body covertly, and after turning his hips, he suddenly exerted force under his feet, and his center of gravity was low, and he accelerated to break through.

Duncan hurriedly slid to the left rear, and at this time, Li Ze's right hand in the march was in and out sharply, and while his body shook to the left, he paused slightly, and then accelerated again.

The emergency stop and false shaking made Duncan's defense stunned for 2 seconds, and when he tried to slide to defend again, he couldn't keep up with Li Ze's rhythm at all, and was completely cleaned.

Cut in 45 degrees outside the three-point line, the audience at the scene only saw Li Ze's body shaking, and then took off directly in three steps, and suddenly shouted excitedly.

Turyaf under the basket stubbornly put Dior behind him, making the Spurs unguarded in the restricted area, Li Ze, who rose in the air, stretched his body, without fancy movements, pulled his arm back, and directly came to a powerful one-handed split!

"Boom!" Break through the storm dunk and succeed!

After landing on the ground, Li Ze's face was expressionless, and he showed the biceps of his right arm to the camera under the basket, which made the Staples Arena instantly fry.

The simple and rough small fight completely angered Duncan, of course the old man would not be convinced, and in the next few minutes, the middle distance, the face frame broke through, and continued to cut points!

And the Clippers also responded, with the same tactic, Li Ze played three rounds in a row, the cover quality was not good, and he immediately hit a single with his back and scored in the middle distance.

After completing the breakthrough and encountering Danny Green's assisted defense, Ray Allen in the bottom right corner also responded from the outside.

With an occasional round break, Crawford singled Tony Parker for a foul and also helped the Clippers score points.

As game time continued to slip away, Chris Paul returned with 4:19 left in the second quarter, and the two sides were completely in the offensive battle.

With 1:03 left in the second quarter, Ginobili hit a two-pointer as the Clippers quickly shot the baseline and Paul dribbled across the halfcourt.

In the rapid advancement, the left hand fancy crotch around the ball, then suddenly accelerated, broke through to the paint area, after the crotch dribble, immediately turned around, shook off Parker's defense, and threw the right hand shot!

"Bang!"

The power was small, the ball hit the front of the basket, and before the Spurs' defense could react, Paul threw himself directly and grabbed it, and then quickly threw the ball into the hands of Li Ze on the right wing.

When Leonard saw Li Ze receiving the ball, he immediately chose to stick to the defense, and at the same time used his body to press the defense to the right sideline.

Instantly perceiving the opponent's defensive intentions, Li Ze broke through with the ball in his right hand, and after the physical confrontation, he accelerated directly, hung Leonard, and ran into the three-point line.

Leonard, who broke some defenses, also couldn't care about defensive movements, and while fighting with his body, he kept cutting the ball with his left hand.

Li Zeshun turned around, changed to holding the ball in his left hand, and immediately hit the frame twice, his chest was hit tightly, Leonard was completely up, and his right hand cut the ball again.

As a result, Li Zetu pulled the ball back with his left hand and pulled the ball sharply, Leonard subconsciously slid to the left, and when Li Ze's body twisted forward again, Leonard, who noticed that something was wrong, hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense.

The moment Li Ze finished his back-to-back jumper and threw his hand, Leonard, whose body couldn't keep up with his brain, was shaken into a big split and fell directly to the floor.

"Huh!" Solid mid-range hits.

“OH——! Kayce-Li! ”

Commentator Mike Brin saw Leonard hit the street and subconsciously screamed, and the fans at the scene shouted even more wildly.

Leonard, who had just stood up, heard the cheers erupting from the Staples Arena and completely broke the defense.

Li Ze just smiled and shook his head to retreat, but Crawford, who was substituted for the game, looked very excited, and jumped around the sidelines with a towel.

In the final 42 seconds, each side hit a rail, and at the end of the half, at 45:58, the Clippers extended the margin to 13 points.

At halftime, the atmosphere at Staples Arena was very hot, and many fans took advantage of this time to nibble on beef burgers.

Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop was in a good mood and kept waving to the audience, the old man was about to leave at Microsoft, but seeing that the team he just bought directly entered the Western Conference Finals, he suddenly felt that his decision was wise

"Although Duncan was 3-of-3 from the field in the first quarter, he had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, but he couldn't help the Spurs close the gap, and it was clear that the team's offensive options were wrong."

"Parker scored just one more point in the second quarter, and I have to praise the Clippers defense, Kayce and Paul are the best backcourts in the league!"

Jeff Van Gundy fell to the Clippers at this point, and all the pre-game predictions were nullified, and he became a fan of the Clippers on the spot

"With 33 points in the quarter, the Clippers' bench lineup also played well, and of course, Kayce scored 14 points on 5-of-8 and 4-of-4 free throws, and Leonard's defense was completely ineffective."

Commentator Mike Brin was also completely convinced, even if he strictly guarded against three-point shots, Li Ze still solved the problem with breakthroughs and mid-range, and superstars really couldn't be limited.

By the time the second half began, the Spurs, who had picked up the pace of the game, kept scoring, but the margin was always 10 points.

Popovich, who watched the Clippers keep scoring points and eventually just sat back on the bench with a calm look, must admit that the coaching staff made a mistake in this game.

With 2:08 left in the game, the fans were already celebrating the victory.

Both sides have changed their main lineups, and the difference on the field has reached 15 points at this time.

Steve Ballmer stood on the sidelines and applauded wildly, and the old man was very happy, and the score was 2:0!

"Well done! Kayce! ”

The atmosphere team hurriedly handed Li Ze a towel, and everyone followed suit, it was too violent!

15 of 25, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, 14 of 14 free throws, 45 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

After a simple replenishment of water, Li Ze smiled at everyone, but silently thought in his heart:

"You can win without a three-pointer!"
