The TV camera focused on Tim Duncan.

Duncan held the ball with his trademark hands crossed before the start of the game and then returned it to the referee.

Coming to the center circle, Duncan still started as a center for the Spurs.

After falling behind 0:2, Popovich still did not make major lineup changes.

Starting center Duncan, power forward McDyce, small forward Jefferson, backcourt Parker and Ginobili.

He still refuses to use Split, a taller, younger interior lineman, as a center to relieve Duncan's pressure.

In fact, Gasol Jr., like Split, was born in 1985 at the age of 26.

They were both drafted in the 2007 draft and didn't make it to the league in the first place.

Gasol Jr. entered the league earlier, and this is his third season.

And Split has just entered the league this season and is a rookie in the NBA.

He averaged only 4 points and 3 rebounds per game, but he played 12 minutes with little playing time.

If Popovich is a bit bolder, he can go on Split to relieve the pressure on the inside.

Judging from the first two games, Split's performance cannot be said to be very good, but McDyce is really old.

In the first game, McDyes's offensive end was 1 of 5, and in the second game, he was 2 of 6, and both only scored 5 points.

The offense can't put pressure on Randolph, and the defense can't withstand Randolph.

The only thing that can be done is the so-called experience, and the stability of the veteran does not make mistakes.

But if you can't attack or defend, what's the use of these experiences?

In the opening game, Duncan jumped the ball and the Spurs started their first offense.

For the first offense, the Spurs' routine was clear, and Duncan mentioned the horn position as a response.

Parker and Ginobili seem to be around the screen, catch the ball, run, and pass.

It can be seen that the Spurs don't want to be like the first game start.

Let Parker run to the low post to force Curry, and Popovich will figure it out.

Parker isn't Magic Johnson, and it's not Baron Davis.

Or honestly surround Duncan, and use Duncan's containment and covering ability to play tactics.

If the tactical point of Duncan is opened, others can open it slowly, otherwise they will be blind.

It went around twice, but there was no progress, because the Clippers' defense shrank very much.

No matter how you cover and block and dismantle, the Clippers will have one move: sink.

Gasol and Randolph resolutely put it in, and you Parker and Ginobili shoot if they have a kind?

The ball was given to Duncan, and Duncan didn't shoot in the middle distance, and the opponent didn't feel confident at the beginning.

Min Congda regretted seeing the Clippers' defense, and he shouldn't have dared to leak the anti-blocking strategy to Dunleavy in the first place.

Look, now I have learned a good way, and I have perfected the trick of sinking the basket.

Duncan tried to rush in with the ball, but Gasol Jr. slapped the ball in his hand.

The referee blew the whistle "just in time" and blew for a thug foul on Gasol Jr.

Of course, Xiao Jia looked innocent and thought this ball was a good ball.

Of course, the referee ignored it.

As the core of the team's interior defense, a foul in the first ten seconds is very, very disadvantageous.

Min Congda was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that the referee really made a force.

That's right, where can I watch the first in the west being swept by the eighth.

What a system!

Duncan also had a shot in this ball, and although it was reluctant, the referee blew a free throw.

Standing at the free throw line, Duncan made two free throws, both of which missed!

"I'm Gan!"

Min Congda was so angry that he wanted to slap his thigh.

What's the matter with Duncan, he didn't use the opportunity and didn't make any free throws?

What about the anger in your eyes before the game? What about the fierce face? You can't play at the free throw line, can you?

Duncan's free throws weren't as bad as the big sharks' side, and he was tricked into slashing sharks.

But there are still a lot of scenes where he misses two free throws.

The free-throw shooting percentage hovers around 70 all year round, sometimes dropping below 70.

Duncan missed two free throws, and Curry immediately used the pick-and-roll to get to the basket on offense, causing Parker to foul.

Curry also went to the free throw line, and this kid's free throws were called a steady and ruthless, and he hit two free throws steadily.

The opening game was 2:0, and then the score remained unchanged for nearly three minutes.

Both sides began to hit the iron frantically.

Parker misses mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll.

On the counterattack, Davis passed to Randolph and missed a layup.

Ginobili counterattacked, holding the ball into the inside line and riding an arrow, but also missed.

The Clippers responded with a high post and Gasol Jr. passed the ball to Curry, who was in the air.

Curry's rebound was blocked by Duncan.

The Spurs' positional battle is still Parker's blocking, mid-range ...... Didn't touch the basket.

At the beginning of the game, both teams felt very tight, and all kinds of did not score.

It was Curry's two free throws that changed the score.

Look at the score at this time, I don't know if I think I play football.

Popovich was anxious to see the team's performance.

Before the game, everyone was angry and excited after hearing Smart's remarks.

They all held their breath and wanted to win the third game in Los Angeles.

It's time to regain home advantage!

However, in basketball, willpower is important, but it is based on a certain strength and state.

This is a realistic basketball game, not "Saint Seiya", if you shout a Pegasus Meteor Fist, bronze can do gold.

Anger without strength and state foundation is nothing more than incompetent rage.

The Spurs were angry, but they knew their weakness.

Duncan, in particular, dragged his injured leg and made it difficult for him to walk.

After the first two games, he knew he might never be able to play like he did in his prime.

Of course, he's still helping the team in his way.

Duncan plays directly against Randolph in defence.

Randolph catches the ball and singles out Duncan with the basket, and the dribble is strong!

As a result, the ball in his hand was knocked out by Duncan, and Parker intercepted the ball.

It's still a quick counterattack, and I still want to rush to get an easy chance to score.

As a result, he was ruined by Ricky Davis halfway through.

For a throw-in, Spurs still have to play positional offense.

With a quick serve, Parker got rid of Curry's defense.

Burst into the basket with the ball and draw the bag and hit the ground to Duncan.

Duncan scored a layup to finally score the Spurs' first opening point.

It was difficult, more than three minutes had passed in the first quarter of the game, and the two teams were only 2:2.

What is the fast offense, what is the bombardment, what is the V-shaped offense, and what is the bottom corner three-point ......

When it comes to the playoffs, it's all empty, so it's better to slow down and grind the position, rely on Duncan to dig in to attract defensive attention and create opportunities for others.

Everything is back to the way it was, making Popovich's tactical overhaul look like a joke.

At this point, Barang Davis missed a mid-range jumper.

But Gasol Jr. grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt.

At the top of the arc, the Clippers players are interspersed with two-way baseline plays.

Randolph made an off-ball screen for Curry.

Curry received a pass from Gasol Jr. and made a mid-range jumper.

Catch &Shoot, easy to hit two points.

It feels so light, free, and sharp.

Curry is like an extremely thin and sharp knife.

It doesn't hurt at first, but soon the blood will ooze out little by little.

Opponents who don't pay attention well will bleed to death.
