Just three seconds into the game, the referee blew the whistle and stopped the game.

It turned out that the timer on the scene was broken and did not go to the watch.

Min Congda, who was nervous, was in a hurry, ate the popcorn in his hand, and scolded: "San Antonio, what kind of broken equipment management, the timer is not gone, it must be a kickback!" ”

Popovich also got up from the bench and looked at the field, with words in his mouth, which were obviously not good words.

Some of the players on both sides were bouncing, some were stretching to warm up, and this sudden stop made the atmosphere more and more tense.

After a delay of about three minutes, the timer was finally fixed and the race continued.

The Spurs' first offense, after repeated round-the-rounds of cover, gave the ball to McDyce at 45 degrees.

McDyce misses a mid-range jumper.

Gasol Jr. took the backcourt rebound and gave the ball to Curry.

Curry dribbled the ball past half court to Baron Davis.

Then Curry went to run off the ball to lead the defense.

Barang Davis and Gasol Jr. made a pick-and-roll in the high post.

Baran accelerated into the three-second zone and landed a blow to Gasol Jr.

The most simple and direct blocking, dismantling and cutting inside, Gasol received the ball and rushed towards the basket in one step!

Jefferson blocked Gasol Jr. with a basket and was knocked to the ground in a stunned state.

The referee blew the whistle and blew for a blocking foul on Jefferson, and the ball had been tossed to the basket to hit the board.

A beautiful 2+1 goal!

When Min Congda saw the ball, his heart tightened.

"I said, what are you doing on McDyes? If there is a big center on the inside, can you make an offensive foul? Direct basket protection interference is enough. Gasol Jr. is not Xiao Si, with his speed, this bounce, and this explosive power, can he not prevent it? ”

In the opening game, the Spurs played against Duncan Jr. and McDis against Randolph.

If the Spurs let Split start, it would be him who would be against Gasol Jr., and it should be Duncan who has just assisted in the defense inside.

With Duncan's defensive ability, he never has to make offensive fouls under the basket, and he is always hard to protect the basket.

Now Duncan is going to defend Gasol Jr., McDice is staring at Randolph, and Jefferson can only help defend.

How could Jefferson defend himself against the basket, he could only rely on foul making.

It didn't work out, gave the Clippers two points, and took a foul.

Gasol Jr. hit a free throw, and the Clippers started the game with a quick start and hit the Spurs starting lineup.

The Clippers didn't blindly pass at the beginning, but were very targeted to block and dismantle.

That's the difference between the playoffs and the regular season.

The regular season is based on the daily style of play that you are used to.

Each fights its own to see who is in good shape, and hits the back to see the move.

The playoffs are different, with the same opponent playing at least four games in a row and playing against each other from the first game.

It can even be said that from the first leg the two teams began to fight.

Don't look at the regular season, Lao Deng is no longer in charge of things, and in the playoffs, he still writes a notebook full of various preparations.

Min Congda was even more engrossed in watching the game, anxious and anxious, the intensity and tactics of the playoffs are incomparable to the regular season, and they will inevitably be more beautiful.

The Spurs' offensive options were bizarre, and in positional battles, they actually allowed Tony Parker to beat Curry with his back in the low post.

Min Congda has a question mark, is there no better choice?

Duncan can't fight at all? McDyce can't beat it either?

I have to let Parker bully Curry, Curry is not so easy to bully.

Sure enough, Parker's back forced bite didn't work, and Ricky Davis wrapped it up.

Causing Parker to walk, low-level mistakes, and leaving people speechless.

Randolph then received a pass from Baron Davis at the top of the arc and hit a mid-range jumper.

At 5:0, the Clippers took the lead.

The Spurs' first goal came from Jefferson.

Jefferson received the pass at 45 degrees on the right side and hit a shot from the three-point line.

A difficult long-distance two-point shot.

Then, Duncan blocked Ricky Davis' throws after receiving the ball in defense.

The Spurs were finally able to counter-attack, and the Spurs players were rushing forward as fast as mad dogs.

That's the biggest difference between Spurs this season and before, as they play quick counter-attacks when they get the chance.

It's not the slow-paced and slow-moving Spurs that old fans have in their impressions.

It's the new Spurs who first pass half the time and try to solve the progress within 7 seconds.

It was with this strong attacking force that the Spurs won 60 wins.

And the sharpest spear of this Spurs in the fast-break counterattack, Jefferson naturally.

He teamed up with Kidd when he was with the Nets and was known for his ability to quickly counter up.

Whether it's hitting the basket or catching the ball in the corner, the jump shot is his forte.

This ball he ran to the bottom right corner, received the pass and hit a three-point shot!

At 5:5, the Spurs and Clippers are tied!

For a time, the Spurs were morale high.

Then, the Spurs successfully defended Curry's breakaway on defense.

Curry broke through from the left side, dribbled accidentally out of the baseline, and missed.

Offensively, Duncan gave Parker a pick-and-roll, a beautiful inside cut, and a layup.

Gasol Jr. took the ball high and missed a long-distance two-point shot.

The Spurs counterattacked, Anthony McDyce received a pass from Jefferson and scored a quick layup with his left hand!

At 5:9, the Spurs scored nine points in a row to take the lead.

Dunleavy sensed something was wrong with the players.

So a short timeout was called to help the players adjust their form.

The Clippers players do have some problems, but not technical and tactical issues.

But...... How to put it, this is not the feeling of a showdown with the first in the West as they imagined.

Although at the moment, the Clippers are four points behind, and they have not scored in two rounds.

But the Clippers started with five people, and everyone's mood was quite relaxed.

Curry hasn't scored points yet, but he finds himself coming and going with the ball in the Spurs.

Just now he had two direct shots, but he didn't shoot and chose to pass.

Gasol felt like he was walking casually in a high position, and Duncan was a little unable to keep up.

Randolph was very annoying to McDyes, but he desperately stuck and pushed at the beginning of the game.

By the fourth quarter, will the body be able to? McDyce is a veteran, so he doesn't feel calm at all.

Ricky Davis even felt that the Spurs' positional offense in defense was not ingenious at all, and his defense was easy.

Jefferson easily doesn't hold the ball, just catches the ball, lays up and catches the ball, stares at Parker on the defense, and then stares at George a little.

Mike Dunleavy felt similarly, so during the timeout, Dunleavy simply said, "Relax, let go of the play, play our rhythm." Let go of the pitch and get the situation back, OK? ”

He didn't even yell at the players, he didn't shout tactics, he just took a short timeout to get everyone to adjust.

Even Min Congda, who has always been swayed by his position and subjective emotions, faintly felt: "How can this Spurs play at all without any pertinence?" It's still the same way as the regular season, is there any secret weapon? ”
