The bold use of newcomers in the Western Conference Finals is definitely a helpless choice for Coach De Nagro.

Chris Paul frantically chased down Tony Parker, only to have the ball back to Duncan again before the official timeout with a pick-and-roll from Parker and Duncan, who briefly broke away from Paul's defense and burst into the interior to attract Jordan Jr., who assisted the defense, and then returned the ball to Duncan again.

The old man received the pass, and even had time to aim at the basket, and with the steady goal from the middle range, the score on the court came to 16:16.

With just 6:02 left in the first quarter, Staples Arena erupted in an uproar as the two sides entered the official timeout.

The situation is somewhat similar between the two teams, with the Spurs scoring most of their points coming from Duncan and Leonard, and the Clippers scoring all of their points coming from Li Ze and Paul.

Fans at the scene always felt that the Clippers were about to capsize if they were not careful, after all, fans in Los Angeles have watched Kobe Bryant play for many years, and once the scorer is not there, he will also play iron.

Coach De Nagro is in a bit of a dilemma, Duncan is currently 3-of-3, the Spurs' offensive rhythm is fast and slow, frequent blocks and pick-and-rolls on the outside, continuous off-ball cuts, plus Ginobili and Parker's breakthrough shots, play a flowing feeling.

Fortunately, big men also have the advantage of big men, although the offense is not good, Jordan Jr. rushed down 2 frontcourt rebounds in the first half of the game, and two more offensive rounds, making the Clippers lead by 2 points for a while.

The Clippers coaching staff can certainly guess the Spurs' substitution options, and Dior will replace Ginobili after he comes on the court, allowing the veteran to rest, but the court is still in the five-out lineup.

Thinking about the fact that Turyav couldn't eat cake after the start, he made 2 free throws and 0 of 2, and finally replaced Tucker, maybe the rebounding has declined, but Tucker can defend after all, and his body is more flexible.

On the bench, Coach De Nagro reminded his players loudly:

"Rebounding! Everyone has to be stuck, no matter whether the opponent can throw in or not, we have to pay attention to the offensive players around us! Make a good card slot! ”

The height has dropped and the lineup has become smaller, which makes the Clippers coaching staff feel a little insecure, the head coach is speaking, and the assistant coach on the side also pulls out the whiteboard and constantly gives Tucker the task.

In the NBA, most head coaches don't like to use players who are out of schedule, but at this time, they can't take too much care of it, and they scored 16 points in the first half of the game, which shows that the Spurs' offensive state is very hot.

Ray Allen also moved his body, and the veteran also came on early, replacing the poor Matt Barnes, and Ray Allen couldn't help but take a deep breath at the thought that he would face a rotation of defense from Danny Green and Leonard.

After the two sides completed the lineup adjustment and appeared again, on the ESPN commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy saw Dior and Tucker appear, and immediately said with a tone of amazement:

"It's probably a big difference from previous games, where both sides have a big and four small lineups, which ensures the space to attack, but then it's important to protect the rebound."

In the first half of the first quarter, Leonard, who played to the No. 4 position, was like a fish in water, 3 of 3, scored 7 points, and could shoot on the offensive end, and he could also defend on the defensive end, and his performance was very bright for a while.

The Clippers sent out the baseline ball, and the fans at the scene immediately began to cheer for the home team:

“Let's go Clippers！ Let's go Clippers！ Let's go Clippers！ ”

Just after Paul's half, Parker first stepped forward to harass, cut the ball after a physical confrontation, and then immediately retreated back to the three-point line, always keeping an eye on Jordan Jr.'s movements.

As the lineup gets smaller, the Clippers' offensive space stretches a lot, with Tucker and Ray Allen standing in the right corner and right wing, respectively.

This makes Danny Green have to follow Ray Allen, and at the same time, Dio must always pay attention to Tucker's upper cover for Ray Allen, and also have to pay attention to the pass from the baseline direction, according to the previous games, Li Ze's breakthrough ability is extremely strong.

On the court, everyone in the Spurs was like a big enemy, and no one could judge Li Ze's offensive choices, so everyone could only play 12 points and couldn't lose rebounds anymore.

When Li Ze asked for the ball with his back in the left blocking area, Leonard's half-winding defense still caused him some trouble, and compared with the previous games, Leonard's defense has also improved a little.

But it's more likely that the Spurs' coaching staff gave defensive advice, played 4 games, and everyone's technical moves were studied in depth, and the later they went, the more targeted the defense became.

Seeing that Paul failed to pass the ball at the first time, when Leonard's half-winding front defense just squeezed to his side, Li Ze suddenly turned around flexibly and pretended to cut to the bottom line, and Leonard hurriedly changed the focus of defense.

As a result, Li Ze suddenly accelerated and ran back, and Leonard hurriedly chased after him for a while.

Receiving the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line, Leonard strictly guarded Li Ze's right hand according to the pre-game deployment, and at the same time, tried to let Li Ze hold the ball in his left hand and burst towards the bottom line.

The moment Li Ze received the pass, he saw the opponent's defensive choice, and immediately broke through with the ball in his left hand, with a low center of gravity and accelerated the breakthrough.

Leonard, who was sliding to the right rear, used his sucking strength to try to squeeze Li out and away from the basket

Li Ze, who was accelerating with all his strength, ignored the physical confrontation on his side, and suddenly stopped suddenly in three steps to the left blocking area, and the right foot on the inside was well supported, and then he exerted force under his feet and rose into the air.

The sudden emergency stop, coupled with the drift like the left rear, completely made Leonard's block useless, and after a short stay in the air, waiting for the opponent to fall, Li Ze calmly adjusted his posture and shot steadily with a backward jumper!

"Huh!" Two-pointer again!

"An unsolvable attack! No matter who is defending in front of you, Kayce always responds! No matter how many times I watched it, I still couldn't believe that he was only 22 years old! ”

Jeff Van Gundy saw this exaggerated step-back jumper and finally couldn't help but blow it straight away.

Leonard couldn't help but scratch his head as Li Ze retreated, and Tim Duncan still looked calm when he heard the cheers that erupted on the scene, just clapping his hands briefly and reminding his teammates to be patient.

Popovich also had some headaches on the sidelines, and the Spurs had no problems defending.

If Li Ze chooses to break through along the bottom line, then Duncan will help defend in advance, and with the help of the bottom line, it can almost form the effect of a three-person bag, but the continuous and difficult mid-range jumpers still hurt the defensive confidence.

By the time the Spurs were attacking, the Clippers' defense was similarly problematic.

Tony Parker took advantage of Duncan's blocking, immediately accelerated to the left elbow of the free throw line, and ran diagonally, not only briefly getting rid of Paul's defense, but also putting Jordan Jr. in a dilemma.

"Huh!" Two-point goal!

The small guards on both sides have a very similar offensive style, blocking and dismantling mid-range, blocking three-point shots, and blocking and breaking through, but Paul faces Duncan a lot of the time, while Parker faces Jordan Jr.

The scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, which also made the atmosphere more and more hot.

Paul had just finished the mid-range with a high pick-and-roll and successfully singled Duncan.

Immediately after the Spurs handed over the outside hand, Dio stood at the free throw line, received the pass, and simply cooperated with the high and low posts, and Duncan under the basket easily singled Jordan Jr. to respond.

Both sides are very aware of each other's weaknesses, Li Ze and Paul kept attacking Duncan in the second half of the game, Paul blocked and dismantled, Li Ze was one-on-one, and the two tossed through, but the old man just didn't pull across.

In the first quarter of the game, the Clippers made the last attack, the fans in the stadium screamed, and with 12 seconds left, Paul again gave the ball to the right wing Li Ze.

The receiving position was a little far away, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly accelerated, approached the three-point line and immediately crossed the dribble and pulled back, and then changed direction with his left hand extremely fast under his crotch.

Leonard seemed to have been prepared, adjusting the defensive center of gravity again, blocking Li Ze's right hand, and at the same time cutting the ball with his left hand to interfere, and at the moment when the opponent started, Li Ze suddenly turned sharply with his left foot as the axis.

Before Leonard could react, Li Ze, who switched to the left hand and held the ball, accelerated and completely got rid of the defense, and noticed that Duncan's help defense came up again, and Li Ze in the middle of the movement swayed right and left, and with a large European step, he easily shook off the opponent's defense.

It's just that when he picked up the basket with his left hand, Duncan, who turned back to defend, hit Li Ze's arm directly, completely destroying the ball.

"Squeak!" The referee immediately signaled for a foul on the thug.

Li Ze didn't expect Duncan to react so quickly, and the fans at the scene began to cheer again, stood on the free throw line, and said in a relaxed tone:

"In a game of this pace, I can spend two extra hours with you! I'm going to keep breaking through your perimeter defenses! ”

As soon as the words fell, Duncan, who was also on the top, looked at Li Ze and said expressionlessly:

“Nice try！”

The corners of Li Ze's mouth twitched, and he silently complained in his heart, he must take down the bad old man!

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ze hit two free throws steadily, and the first quarter of the game ended, and the score of the two sides came to 27:28.

"In the very exciting first quarter, the Clippers relied on Kayce's excellent play to successfully lead by one point, 7 of 9 in the single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, 18 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, a crazy offensive performance!"

Commentator Mike Brin looked at the technical statistics in his hand and his tone was a little excited, while Jeff Van Gundy on the side became a Spurs fan again:

"Unbelievable, I have to praise Duncan's performance, 6-of-6, 12 points, don't forget, he's a 37-year-old veteran, and in such an important game, Duncan stepped up again!"

On the bench of the Clippers, the atmosphere was a little depressing, Li Ze performed so superbly that he was only one point ahead, and the Spurs' shooting rate was too high, and they almost capsized again

"Don't replace me, Coach! I don't have a problem with my fitness and we have to win this game! ”

Li Ze will never allow to be eliminated by the old man in his three-game MVP season, and when the game turns to physical fitness, he doesn't think he will lose to the 37-year-old.

Coach De Nagro immediately made a decision when he heard Li Ze's words:

“Jamal！ After coming on the court, pay attention to the receiving position, don't let the opponent easily cover Kayce, play more on the weak side, shoot decisively when you have the opportunity, and we continue to speed up the pace of the game. ”

The Clippers' coaching staff's game strategy was to play more transitions and run to the death, with both teams trying to pull each other into their own rhythm.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Gary Neal and Split made substitutions, while Ginobili also came back on the pitch and Leonard was rested.

Like the G4 game, the Spurs are the ultimate 8-man rotation, and it is obvious that Popovich also chooses to be the main force when it comes to his death

When the players from both sides came on the court, everyone on the Spurs found that Li Ze was still there, and Popovich on the sidelines frowned, he didn't expect Li Ze to be non-stop for a minute.

The Spurs took the lead and Gary Neal dribbled past half court and immediately played a high pick-and-roll with Split at the top of the arc.

Li Ze quickly squeezed through the defense, Gary Neal felt the defensive pressure on his side, immediately moved to the left wing with the ball in his left hand, and after completing a hand-to-hand pass with Ginobili, he immediately ran to the left corner to open up space.

Ginobili, who was holding the ball in his right hand, also blocked with Split, got rid of Crawford's defense, and suddenly accelerated to break through.

Danny Green, who was on the right flank, suddenly moved from the flank to the baseline with Dior's upper cover at this time.

Tucker and Ray Allen's defense was not in good communication, the defense was a beat slow, and before he could react, Ginobili's pass fell accurately into the hands of Danny Green, who received the ball and quickly jumped!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow net!

"Shh

Danny Green's excited bang bang beat his chest and jumped up to celebrate the goal, which angered the fans in attendance, and the Staples Arena erupted in huge boos.

Li Ze clapped his hands and signaled everyone to stabilize their emotions, in the G4 game, this situation also occurred, after quickly sending the baseline ball, Li Ze quickly dribbled through the half.

As soon as Danny Green saw Li Ze holding the ball, his scalp was a little numb, and he noticed that the Clippers had no intention of covering the pick-and-roll at all, so he could only cheer up and force himself to concentrate.

As he approached the three-point line, Li Ze began to slow down slowly, and Danny Green just grabbed a tie and then tried to fall back to the three-point line.

However, seeing Li Ze's left hand holding the ball suddenly accelerating, Danny Green regretted it a little, and subconsciously slid to the right back, Li Ze suddenly pulled back with a large crotch, and then Danny Green, who wanted to adjust the center of gravity of the defense, was shaken and staggered.

didn't give the opponent a chance to defend again, Li Ze immediately collected the ball, and quickly jumped at the top of the arc for three points!

“Kayce！ Open the Three！ YES！ ”

Commentator Mike Brin screamed, and the response ball was also a whoa-wow-wow whoap that made the fans at the scene excited.

Coach Popovich on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with this defense, and he gave Danny Green an output:

"Don't cut the ball! Shet! Defend it! ”

Danny Green, who made a mistake on the defensive end, looked at Popovich's roaring appearance and began to pray in his heart for Leonard to hurry up.

Li Ze, who retreated, continued to clap his hands and signaled his teammates to pay attention to defense.

The Spurs' offense was still started by Gary Neal and Split, and Ginobili stepped forward again to respond.

This time, the Clippers' defense rotated quickly, and for a while, the Spurs did not have a good offensive opportunity, and after two turns, there were only 6 seconds left in the offensive time, and finally Gary Neal blocked and Split on the left wing again.

briefly got rid of Li Ze's chasing defense, and there was still a short distance from the three-point line, and he jumped directly!

“OH——！ He puts it in！ ”

Seeing the Spurs soar to another three-pointer, commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, and Staples Arena was also in an uproar.

Gary Neal was extremely excited, screaming and retreating, and the head coach De Nagro on the sidelines was a little anxious, which reminded him of the last two games, when the Spurs always played a wave of three-point climaxes.

When Li Ze dribbled through the half court again, Danny Green on the defensive end defended honestly and no longer made any attempts to cut the ball, but just stuck to Li Ze's side like kraft candy.

Li Zebi, who was guarding the ball with his back, made a tactical gesture, then quickly gave the ball to Crawford on the left flank, and then ran without the ball, quickly came to the bottom right corner to open up the attacking space.

The Clippers also continued to play hand-to-hand passes on the outside, but the Spurs protected Split very well and never let Li Ze and Crawford find opportunities.

With 12 seconds left on the offensive clock and no best offensive options, Li Ze received a pass on the left wing outside the three-point line.

The receiving position was excellent, so that Li Ze broke through with the ball in his right hand at the moment of receiving the ball, and Danny Green saw that Li Ze's center of gravity dropped very low, and subconsciously slid to the left rear with all his might.

However, Li Ze only dribbled a small step this time, and then suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch with his right hand, and at the same time exerted his right foot, retreated sharply, and instantly returned to the three-point line, and the three-point shot that drifted to the left quickly jumped and shot!

Although Danny Green's defense was not completely out of position, and even reacted with blocks, he was still half a beat slower.

Seeing Li Ze's shot landing, Danny Green, who was a little staggering, immediately turned his head to look at the basket, and then there was a huge cheer in his ears.

“Killer Stept-back！ Kayce——LI！ My god！ ”

The exaggerated step-back jumper made the commentator Mike Brin shout God directly.

Li Ze looked at everyone on the Spurs expressionlessly, and then quickly retreated, and the Clippers bench was jubilant, 3 points to 3 points, super tough response ball!

After the start of the second quarter, the game entered a white-hot stage, perhaps because of the confidence of winning two games in a row, the Spurs still played tactics step by step, and Dior and Split could also score points.

On the Clippers' side, Crawford's burst shots, coupled with Ray Allen's free throws, made the score start to rise alternately.

When Li Ze, who had rested for a few rounds on the court, forced Danny Green to stand at the free throw line again, Coach Popovich directly took back the main force, and Parker, Duncan, and Leonard reappeared.

On the Clippers' side, Chris Paul and Matt Barnes are also back on the court.

For more than seven minutes of the second quarter, the Spurs began to slow down again, and Dio began to respond more to the free-throw line, frequently giving the ball to Duncan in the low post.

With his back to play, he then turned around in the direction of the baseline, tilted his body to avoid Jordan Jr.'s block, completed the hook shot with his left hand, and the ball hit the board into the frame!

A series of operations made little Jordan directly numb, and the fans at the scene also subconsciously exclaimed, and the old man was furious again.

The Spurs slowed down, the Clippers' offense increased crazily, and Li Ze was on fire at this time.

Paul had just dribbled past half court, Li Ze suddenly ran back in the left blocking area, and after quickly sliding to the bottom line, with the help of Jordan Jr.'s cover, he successfully received the ball in the right blocking area.

Then he broke through with the ball in his left hand, Leonard didn't expect Li Ze's breakthrough to be so resolute, he was almost passed by one step, and when he came to the paint area, Duncan subconsciously assisted in defense, but saw Li Ze leaning on Leonard and taking advantage of the situation to ride a horse and shoot arrows.

The left hand that drifted to the left and finally went around Duncan's fingertips and landed into the basket with precision!

"Oh!!"

The fans at the scene exclaimed again, and Li Ze, who almost lost his center of gravity, took the opportunity to stand up straight and simply waved his fist in celebration.

With 1 minute and 53 seconds left in the second quarter, the score was 48-48.

In the next offensive round, Duncan received the ball in the blocking position, and finally Dior's cut in crushed Tucker and scored 2 points under the basket.

Quickly serving the baseline ball, Chris Paul chased his ass through the half court, and then immediately blocked Jordan Jr.

After getting rid of Parker's entanglement, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, suddenly changed the rhythm in the process, stepped on the void under his feet, suddenly accelerated, and finally leaned on Duncan and completed the throw with his right hand!

"Huh!" Two-pointer again!

Chris Paul was knocked straight to the floor, and before he could complain to the referee, the Spurs' side had already sent a baseline kick.

Paul quickly stood up and pounced on Parker, who was dribbling again.

With just two minutes left in the first half, the two sides scored back-to-back points, and with Duncan hitting 1 of 2 free throws, the Clippers had 16 seconds left to attack.

Paul gave the ball directly to Li Ze, and then quickly directed his teammates to settle down, and when he came to the front court, he held his knees with both hands and stood on the left wing and gasped for breath.

After dribbling through the halfcourt, there were only 10 seconds left in the offensive time, and when he was close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly raised his body's center of gravity, and after jumping and dribbling, he suddenly changed direction sharply in front of his body.

Leonard's defense just slid to the left, Li Ze quickly changed direction again, and after the double change of direction, his left hand paused slightly, and then his center of gravity was lowered and he accelerated with all his might.

Leonard, who was completely shaken away, was shaken by the sudden emergency stop again, and when he wanted to chase the defense again, Li Ze had already rushed to the penalty area, and after jumping with both feet, he quickly took off.

Duncan under the basket was also a little numb, he didn't plan to defend at all, the old man jumped up and crashed directly into Li Ze, after the two collided in the air, Li Ze didn't look at the basket, and threw the ball into the sky casually.

In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, Li Ze fell heavily to the floor, and after Duncan landed, he also fell to the camera under the basketball hoop.

The referee hesitated for a moment, but finally blew Duncan's foul and signaled two free throws!

"Hey! It's not basketball action at all! Where do you see where he threw the ball? ”

Popovich on the sidelines almost went crazy, and throughout the second quarter of the game, Li Ze and Paul frantically attacked Duncan, and if they got this foul again, they would have committed three fouls in the half, which simply killed the Spurs.

Li Ze was pulled up by everyone on the Clippers, rubbed his butt covertly, and then stood on the free throw line with an expressionless face.

Duncan had the same look on his face, and after standing up, he didn't complain, and stood next to the paint area, ready to scramble for rebounds.

After adjusting his breathing, Li Ze hit two free throws steadily, and with two seconds of offensive time left, the Spurs directly gave up attacking.

At halftime, 54:56, the Clippers entered the second half with a two-point lead.

"Crazy half-game! In this battle of Tianwang Mountain, both sides are bound to win, and Tim Duncan's performance is simply incredible! ”

"5-of-7 in the quarter, 3-of-4 free throws, 13 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, including 2 rebounds in the frontcourt! The 37-year-old veteran dominated the inside line tonight! ”

Jeff Van Gundy has looked stupid, 11-of-13 in the half, Duncan has 25 points and 8 rebounds, this TM is 37 years old?

Commentator Mike Brin was also stunned, but looking at the technical statistics in his hand, he finally praised Li Ze's performance:

Kayce played the entire first half, 12-of-18, including 2-of-4 three-pointers, 9-of-10 free throws, and scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the half. We're going to witness the record again tonight! ”

In the Spurs locker room, Coach Popovich looked at the somewhat tired Duncan, and was a little anxious, with three fouls in the half, Li Ze and Paul became masters of porcelain, which was completely unexpected by the coaching staff.

This style of play does not talk about martial arts at all, and the three-time MVP plus the home whistle makes the referee very face-saving.

Popovich was angry to death, but in the final analysis, it was the outside defense that couldn't limit Li Ze's breakthrough.

"Tony, you've got to carry the team's attack in the second half, Shet! We've got to win tonight! ”

Hearing that Popovich had already burst into foul language, Parker hurriedly reassured:

"I'm ready! We're going to win the game! ”

With only four points on 2-of-6 shooting in the half, but six assists were dished, Parker was full of energy and confident of completing the task assigned by Popovich.

In the locker room of the Clippers, everyone gathered around Li Ze, who was too violent, played the full half, shot 18 times, and his physical fitness still looked good, he was simply not human!

Paul's physical condition is not bad, and he and Parker exploded, also 2 of 6, but Paul relied on 4 free throws to get 8 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists in the half.

Coach De Nagro was also a little worried about Li Ze's physical condition, and when he came to the locker room, he immediately asked with concern:

"Kayce, do you need a break?"

"The half-time break was enough and I'll keep shooting in the second half until we win!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, everyone in the Clippers immediately cheered, Billups clapped his hands, and everyone came to Li Ze's side with a scream, and shouted a slogan together:

"Million, spit, crush, tired of logging!"

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two sides continued to play with the main lineup, and Leonard played to the No. 4 position.

The Clippers, on the other hand, also made a change of formation, and Tucker appeared directly on the court and guarded in front of Leonard.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The fierce game also made the emotions of the fans at the scene more and more high, and they shouted loudly for the home team's defense.

Tony Parker got permission from Popovich to open up the second half with all his firepower, using Duncan's blocking, accelerating the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, just getting rid of Paul's defense, one step past the three-point line, and a two-point pull-up jump shot!

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

Little Jordan's delay was a beat slower, of course, more worried about the other party's breakthrough, after all, as long as he passed this level, there was no one under the basket.

Paul immediately signaled that it was his problem, and when the Clippers attacked, in the first round, Li Ze continued to attack the interior.

The left blocking position stuck Leonard firmly behind him, received a pass from Paul, and turned to attack with the frame.

The right foot quickly tried to step, and then suddenly raised the ball and shook it, Leonard's center of gravity moved, and Li Ze immediately stepped with his right foot and quickly crossed to break through.

The breakthrough distance was very short, and in the end, Li Ze carried Leonard's defense and dribbled two steps, and immediately took off when he approached the paint area, and glided in the air under the jump block of Leonard and Duncan.

After pulling the lever from left to right and completely dodging the block, Li Ze stretched his body, twisted his right wrist on the right side of the basket, and the ball hit the board into the basket!

“OH——！”

"Ahh

The exaggerated stagnation in the air made Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary seat scream, and the fans at the scene shouted with excitement!

Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop also shouted, Li Ze's attack was completed in front of him, and the old man looked stupid

The Spurs were unaffected by anything, and once again quickly sent out the baseline, and Li Ze and Paul both beckoned their teammates to defend at the same time, and they had to guard against three-pointers at this time.

There is no complicated offense, after opening up the offensive space, Tony Parker after the block and dismantling once again burst into little Jordan, using his speed advantage to pick up the basket with his right hand after breaking through!

Coach Popovich on the sidelines was very satisfied with the team's offense, and loudly reminded his players to retreat quickly and resolutely not give the Clippers a chance to convert.

"Chris! I'm here to defend the No. 1 position! ”

Paul nodded immediately when he heard Li Ze's words, and the coaching staff had also made such a plan, and Tony Parker still had a certain height and speed advantage in the face of Paul

In the 3rd quarter of the game, Li Ze's offensive options have completely changed, the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage, as long as the Spurs can't open the three-point, then Li Ze will use his current best mid-range to kill the opponent!

is also the left blocking area position with his back to the ball, Li Ze is not stingy with physical fitness, facing Leonard's forward defense, ignoring the opponent's pull-and-pull, crazy stuck position.

Stuck the opponent behind him again, and the moment he received the pass, his shoulders shook in confusion, and then he suddenly turned around with his right foot as the axis.

After only one step, he immediately took off into the air, ignored Leonard's block, and made a slightly drifting mid-range jumper!

"Huh!" Two-pointer again!

The fans at the scene cheered wildly, Li Ze smiled again, shook his head while quickly retreating, and the fused [Mid-distance King] bonus effect was extremely good!

When the Spurs were attacking, Tony Parker quickly found that the defender was replaced by Li Ze, and although Duncan's blocking allowed him to get out of the defense for a short time, Li Ze's pursuit speed was very fast.

Seeing that he was about to be caught by Li Ze and Jordan Jr., he hurriedly distributed the ball to Ginobili, who was running back, and the Spurs began to continue to wrap around and add hands.

In the end, it was Duncan who received the ball in the low post and completed the offense in the face of Jordan Jr.'s defense.

"Shh

The fans at the scene saw Duncan's online projection score another 2 points, and immediately erupted in huge boos.

When Paul saw Duncan score again, he immediately looked at Li Ze, and then compared tactical gestures.

In the third quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides kept rising alternately, and after the continuous impact of Li Ze and Paul, Duncan's physical fitness finally declined.

The old man was not receiving the ball and attacking, and Tony Parker began to shoot wildly.

Li Ze felt that his physical strength seemed to be a little insufficient for the first time, and the full output of both offensive and defensive ends made the physical energy consumption huge, and the buff of [Enter the Rhythm] was weakened

With Tony Parker fouling Lee Ze and standing at the free throw line, with just 39.4 seconds left in the third quarter, Popovich replaced Split to give Duncan a breather.

In the end, Li Ze and Parker each played a tie, and the score of the two sides came to 79:82.

Paul, who played the third quarter, began to decline in physical fitness, and when he saw that Li Ze was also gasping for breath, he immediately asked with concern:

“Kayce！ Need a break? ”

"You don't have to change me! As I said, fitness is not a problem! I'll keep shooting! ”

Hearing Li Ze's words, the coaching staff of the Clippers were also a little confused at this time, 5 of 9 in the single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, 14 points, and the game did not rest for a minute in the third quarter.

After the start of the game in the 4th quarter, the fans at the scene saw that Li Ze was still there, and they all exclaimed, and Popovich next to him was also dumbfounded, he had already shot 27 times, and he still didn't rest?

Leonard threw the towel directly onto his seat at this time, and then stood on the sidelines without saying a word.

In the end, Popovich only replaced Parker and Duncan in the opposite position, and Gary Neal and Split came on.

As a result, the lineup only lasted 2 minutes, and when Li Ze broke through Leonard's defense and caused Split's foul to stand on the free throw line, Coach Popovich hurriedly got back the main force.

On the Clippers' side, Jordan Jr. was already dying, he only took a minute off at the end of each quarter in this game, and when he saw Duncan on the court, he immediately turned into a bitter melon face

As the fitness of both sides declined, the shooting percentage also began to decline, but the score always rose alternately.

With 1 minute and 23 seconds left in the game, the score was 100:102.

After Li Ze hit 3 irons in a row, Duncan also came to a 3-in-0, and when the Spurs attacked again, Parker and Duncan's blocking was squeezed by Li Ze again, and there were several outside hand-to-hands in a row, but there was still no good opportunity.

Popovich on the sidelines was a little anxious, the Spurs only had one short timeout left, and the Clippers had no timeout, and Coach Denagro used the timeout to rest Li Ze

In this situation, watching the ball fall back and forth on the outside, the bad old man almost couldn't help but ask for a timeout, but with 10 seconds left on the offensive time, Duncan received the ball in the low post on the right side.

At this time, the Clippers' defense did not dare to wrap up, no one wanted to bet on the Spurs' three points, and after watching Duncan rely on the play, he turned to the bottom line again, and finally completed a one-handed shot against Jordan Jr.!

Coach Denag on the sidelines was shocked, watching the ball stumble into the basket, and the Staples Arena suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh!"

An exhausted Duncan almost fell headlong to the floor, the Spurs bench screamed wildly, and McGrady kept waving the towel in his hand.

The Clippers, who did not have a timeout, could only send another baseline shot, 102-102, with only 60 seconds left in the game.

Coach De Nagro was walking around the court in a hurry at this time, Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop covered his mouth with his left hand, and the old man's face was flushed.

“Let's go Clippers！ Let's go Clippers！ Let's go Clippers！ ”

The fans at the scene began to shout frantically, and Paul carried the ball with his back all the way, cautiously dribbling through the half.

Everyone in the Spurs knew that this offense would definitely be given to Li Ze, and Leonard was already about to hang on Li Ze, and the two kept pulling.

Seeing Li Ze's gesture, Paul did not rush to hand over the ball, but quietly watched the time of the attack continue to pass.

With only 10 seconds left in the offensive time, Li Ze in the left blocking area suddenly bounced out, the left wing outside the three-point line, and the moment he received the pass, Leonard's defense immediately came up.

Protecting the ball with his back, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, felt the defensive pressure on his side, and accelerated directly with all his strength when there was little time left in the attack.

Leonard's defense was not out of position at all, the two were entangled, and after passing the three-point line, Leonard fought desperately and kept sliding.

Seeing that there were only 5 seconds left in the attack time, Li Ze, who was in the left blocking area, suddenly pulled back with a large cross-step.

Leonard watched the ball slide in front of him, and hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense in the next second, but the backward slide was too fierce, and he was directly shaken to a stumble, his right hand was on the ground with one hand, and finally barely jumped up to block.

Li Ze, who calmly closed the ball, adjusted his pace, ignored the opponent's block, and made a steady jump shot in the middle distance!

“OH——！ Kayce——LI！ He got it！ ”

Commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, and the fans at the scene followed suit.

Coach Popovich asked for a timeout with a blank face, and there was silence on the Spurs bench.

“WOW！”

Li Ze, who made the key shot, yelled, pulled his jersey, and then jumped up and down to celebrate with everyone in the Clippers.

With 36 seconds to play, if the Spurs can't score that goal, they may have to resort to foul tactics.

"They're going to give the ball to Duncan! We're going to wrap the clip! ”

Chris Paul looked very excited and offered to make a suggestion, but in the end, Coach De Nagro still opted for regular defense.

Li Ze has been gasping for breath and has not participated in everyone's discussion, and his physical fitness is indeed about to bottom out.

As the two sides returned to the court, the Spurs kicked off in the frontcourt, and Tony Parker had just received the ball, and Li Ze immediately stepped forward to defend.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Parker accelerated directly, instantly leading Li Ze by half a body, coupled with Duncan's cover, he actually went straight to the basket!

After the fast Parker broke through to the paint, he leaned forward and threw a basket with his left hand!

Li Ze's pursuit was still half a beat slower, and the ball grazed his fingertips and flew towards the basket.

Watching the ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounce high, the fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim:

"Oh!"

Li Ze and Parker subconsciously jumped up to grab the board, but the ball was clicked by a big hand.

“My god！”

Commentator Mike Brin also exclaimed, and Coach De Nagro slapped his forehead, and at the critical moment, Jordan Jr., who forgot his position, was killed by Duncan to complete the basket.

"Ahh

There was no timeout, the fans were all yelling, 104:104!

Popovich stood on the sidelines, looking hideous, and kept yelling:

"Retreat! All out of the way! ”

Duncan, who completed the key rebound, also couldn't hold back and commanded Leonard loudly:

"Kehuai, don't let him get close to the three-point line!"

Paul was almost blown up by Jordan Jr., watching the Spurs retreat with all their members, and immediately came to the baseline to serve, while loudly reminding everyone:

"Rebound, rush to the front court to rebound!"

The Spurs took just 12 seconds on the offense, leaving the Clippers with a full 24 seconds.

Li Ze's expression was calm, he didn't have any pressure on the last attack, took a deep breath, took Paul's pass, pressed the time, and held the ball slowly.

Leonard was standing one step away from the three-point line at this time, he didn't allow himself to make mistakes again, lowered his body's center of gravity, stared at Li Ze, ready to slide at any time.

“Let's go Clippers！ Let's goClippers！ Let's go Clippers！ ”

The DJ led the crowd into a frenzied yell, and Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop followed suit.

When Li Ze pressed 8 seconds to dribble across the halfcourt, Leonard began to move his body, watching Li Ze slow down the dribbling rhythm again, Leonard hurriedly moved his steps and continued to lower the center of gravity of his body.

The fans cheered rhythmically, and after Li Zedribble passed half court, he came to the left flank, glanced at Leonard's defensive position, and then slowly dribbled forward two steps.

In everyone's surprised eyes, there were still two big steps away from the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly stopped and confidently jumped and shot!

The cheering at the scene stopped abruptly, and Leonard was stupid and looked back in a daze.

Popovich on the sidelines was also stunned, and Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop opened his mouth wide, including everyone on the Clippers, who watched the ball draw a huge arc in a daze, and then fell straight to the basket!

"Oooh!"

“BANG！ BANG”

“Unbelievable！ Kayce From downtown！ OH My God！ ”

Commentator Mike Brin shouted directly, and the sound of Staples Arena almost blew off the roof of the arena, especially when he saw Li Ze's confident return to defense after making a shot, the front row of spectators almost rushed directly into the field.

The Spurs couldn't hear Popovich's shouts anymore, they really hadn't seen this face, Chris Paul was stunned at first, and then he didn't care about celebrating, and even shouted and gestured, so that the Clippers quickly retreated.

With 12 seconds left for the Spurs to attack, the ears were filled with the frantic shouts of the fans, and the Spurs were acting completely on instinct at this point.

Tony Parker just received the ball, Paul went up for the first time to delay, and the Spurs were already a little confused, subconsciously looking for a three-point shot.

Parker dribbled quickly and immediately after halftime made a hand-to-hand with Ginobili, and the referee had already relaxed the scale of the blow in the fourth quarter of the game, at which point the game was completely handed over to the player.

In just 8 seconds, the Spurs continued to pass outside, the Clippers desperately changed defenses, and at the last moment, it seemed that patience paid off, Leonard's cover, delayed Li Ze, and Tucker, who changed defenses, was one step slower.

In this case, Li Ze simply came to a three-step block, and after striding up, he pounced on Danny Green on the right baseline.

After the latter received the pass, he didn't adjust too much, and with his feelings, he drifted and made a jump shot!

The ball had just been shot some distance, but it was hit by Li Ze's volleyball cap in mid-air!

“Blocked by Kayce！ It's over！ ”

“OH！ Clippers Wins the game！ ”

The moment the ball was slapped away by Li Ze, the final buzz sounded, and commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly.

Li Ze rushed to the bench of the Clippers, and then was directly hugged by the Clippers crowd. Rushed to Li Ze and screamed!

Danny Green, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the Clippers' bench at this time, when the shooter, who had been outstanding in the first two games, had his eyes straight and doubted his life.

The Staples Arena was completely fried, everyone yelled wildly, and Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop was even more red-faced, hugging his friends around him, and constantly throwing punches!

Coach Popovich felt terrible at this time, and the bad old man was very frustrated, inexplicable offensive choices, and unreasonable shots, so that in the end the Spurs actually lost in a mess

Standing under the basket, Tim Duncan held his head in his hands, he had used his full strength, and the Spurs played impeccably, but the game was lost, and the loss was without warning, and the loss made him doubt his life a little.

On the ESPN commentary seat, Jeff Van Gundy calmed down his emotions and said in a hoarse voice:

"Incredible! I can't describe this game, it was definitely the craziest Western Conference Finals I've ever witnessed, 22-of-37, including 3-of-5 three-pointers, 16-of-18 free throws, 63 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block! ”

"Kayce, who played 48 minutes, beat the Spurs with a crazy offensive performance, which also tied Michael Jordan's record for the highest score in a single playoff game!"

Commentator Mike Brin doesn't seem to have calmed down yet:

"I still can't forget the three-pointer at the end of the game, although it was a completely unreasonable shot choice, but the unexpected fatal blow allowed the Clippers to win the game!"

"Of course, Tim Duncan also played well in this game, 15-of-22, 4-of-5 free throws, and got a big double-double of 34 points and 17 rebounds!"

"God! This is crazy! He's 37 years old! ”

At 104:107, the Clippers finally won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the series score came to 3:2.

Doris Burke stood on the sidelines, watching the Clippers crowd continue to flock to Lee, Steve Ballmer has even rushed to Lee's side, and the fans at the scene are also celebrating wildly.

Fortunately, Li Ze saw the blonde female reporter who had been waiting for a long time, and after a simple handshake with everyone on the Spurs, he immediately came to the sidelines:

"Congratulations, Kayce! Successfully winning this battle of Tianwang Mountain, I believe that many fans are very curious about your final offensive options! ”

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Li Ze wiped the sweat on his face and responded with a smile:

"I was confident to hit a shot like that, of course, because we didn't want to play overtime anymore, Andrew only had three minutes off, Chris was also very tired, no one thought I would be there to shoot, luckily, Leonard didn't interfere and I won the bet!"

When Doris Burke heard such an answer, she still had an urge to complain, but as Li Ze said, such an offensive choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Did you notice that you had equaled the 63 points created by Michael Jordan? It's really incredible! ”

Hearing Doris Burke's exclamation, Li Ze just smiled and shrugged:

"I don't care about the stats, all I care about is wins and championships, and if you lose, no matter how high the score is, it doesn't mean much! Very lucky, the Clippers won tonight! ”

“.”

After a brief interview, in the Staples Arena, the fans still did not leave the field, still cheering for Li Ze, as Li Ze raised his hands and greeted the fans at the scene, everyone began to shout frantically after a burst of screaming:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

Li Ze heard the cheers at the scene, laughed and waved to the fans, and then took the towel handed by Chris Paul, who smiled and smiled Paul, stepped forward again to bump his fist and salute him, and then the two slowly walked to the players' tunnel together.

Seeing more and more Clippers fans wearing red cheering T-shirts, Li Ze couldn't help but think:

"High score wins! Danzi lost the game back then! No one can ruin my triple MVP milestone! ”
