Chapter 394 Explosion Output (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
In G1 of the Western Conference semifinals, the first quarter of the game was beyond everyone's expectations. The Spurs showed their dominance inside, and Aldridge played a superb performance. As a result, the team fell behind by 2 points.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, Mills and Ginobili partnered in the backcourt, Danny Green and David West were on the front line, and Boris Diaw was the center.
The Clippers also sent veterans Crawford and Barnes, while Tucker, Evan Turner and Plumlee all followed suit.
Theoretically, the Spurs still have the inside advantage, but after a few rounds, David West and Diaw failed to grasp the opportunity of dislocation, and the low post missed. Only West hit a mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll jump shot.
Popovich was a little anxious on the sidelines. The game didn't go according to plan. Seeing Mills hit two free throws, the old man turned around and almost asked for a timeout.
The Clippers' offense was not outstanding either. After Crawford hit the iron, relying on Evan Turner's free throws and Plumlee's pie to score points, the Spurs' athletic ability couldn't keep up.
The Spurs at their peak had a luxurious back line, but with the decline of Parker and Ginobili, the team's perimeter began to have problems.
Fortunately, Dior was in good shape on the field. After 2 pick-and-rolls, he broke through with the ball and helped the Spurs score points.
What frustrates the Spurs coaching staff is that most of the Clippers' rounds are single defense, and the signal released is:
"Stop moving the ball and hit me!"
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Clippers fans cheered in the Staples Arena, and Mills, who had an average outside touch, once again picked and rolled David West at the top of the arc.
Evan Turner chased very hard, and Tucker saw that his teammates were not out of position, so he chose to follow West.
Holding the ball in his left hand and accelerating in a straight line, Mills simply broke through and came to the bottom left of the basket. Mills, who was one position ahead, took advantage of the opportunity to pick the basket with his left hand.
As a result, Evan Turner interfered, the ball knocked out of the frame, and Plumlee easily received the rebound.
The transition attack began to speed up. As soon as Crawford received the pass on the right wing, Plumlee put up the pick-and-roll.
Ginobili is still old after all, Crawford did not go to the left to break through, simply dribbled the ball under the crotch and changed direction in front of the body, easily getting rid of the defense.
He took two big steps forward, stopped suddenly, swayed the ball, tricked Ginobili's defense, and finally hung up on the opponent and forced a jump shot.
"squeak!"
The referee immediately whistled Ginobili's shooting foul, and Crawford got two free throws.
"Time flies too fast. Ginobili is already 39 years old. In this veteran dialogue, Crawford won!"
In the TNT commentary seat, Chris Webber saw the decline in the offensive efficiency of the two teams, and also made fun of it.
Reggie Miller saw the problem of the Spurs, and said directly:
"The rotation lineup is not dynamic enough. West and Diaw on the inside are 35 years old and the other is 34 years old. Ginobili on the outside is 39 years old."
"The Clippers' strategy is very simple, that is, try to switch defenses, but the Spurs failed to seize the opportunity."
The head coach De Nagro did not allow the 36-year-old Barnes to play too much time. Taking advantage of free throws, he kept Plumlee and began to replace the main force.
The Spurs coaching staff was speechless. The second quarter had just played for more than 2 minutes. This kind of rotation made people unable to complain.
Li Ze, who reappeared, celebrated with high fives with his teammates, and Plumlee felt that his chance had come.
The game style is different from Jokic, with better athletic ability and easier to eat cakes.
Li Ze noticed that Leonard and Aldridge were also on the court, and he immediately understood that the Spurs were going desperate.
Fight for the next away game and return to the home game to end the battle. Aldridge is in such a good state, Popovich believes that the team can win.
At 41:44, with Crawford's free throw, the Clippers led by 3 points. Before the end of the game, Crawford and Li Ze greeted each other with fist bumps. There is a high probability that it will be a star matchup tonight. The Clippers will Reduced rotation.
Harris re-entered the field with a frowning face. He could still stand up to a power forward like Aminu, but Aldridge really couldn't stand it.
Tony Parker was chased by Reggie Bullock for 3 of 1 in the first quarter and only scored 2 points. Therefore, the Spurs kept Mills and chose to continue to trust the outside shooter.
Li Ze patted Bullock, signaling the other side to continue to lead the guard against the Spurs.
This job is fairly easy for Bullock. His defensive effect is mediocre, and sometimes he has a surprising effect when defending defenders.
Ingles and Mills are teammates of the national team, and they are relatively familiar with each other, and they know some playing habits very well.
Bullock received only one foul in the first quarter of the game, so Mills dribbled halfway, and quickly changed direction in front of him with the ball in his right hand. Spoon Street.
The 1 meter guard is always easy to be targeted. Hearing the referee's whistle, Mills got up and wanted to come forward to argue, but Ingles stepped forward to dissuade him with a smile.
Dior and Danny Green hurried forward to pull the two sides apart. Li Ze noticed that Leonard beside him was still looking calm, and couldn't help complaining:
"A good temper sometimes suffers a lot! You have to motivate your teammates."
Although they don't talk much in front of the media, the two trained together in Los Angeles during the offseason. After getting to know each other well, Leonard is not like the past three sticks who can't say a fart:
"Limit your scoring and we'll win the game."
Li Ze stopped talking, but shook his head in his heart, he met a "clumsy" player, and waited to suffer a big loss
Popovich was very dissatisfied, but the score fell behind, and he quickly reminded Mills to keep calm and continue to give the ball to the inside.
The Spurs, who took the sideline kick, played simply and rudely. Aldridge made a cross screen in the three-second zone and replaced Harris behind him.
After receiving the pass, he simply went up the line and crushed the breakthrough, approaching the basket, and successfully shot with his right hand in the paint!
The Clippers fans at the scene were also a little dumbfounded, why are they still here?
When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, came to the top of the arc. Leonard noticed that the Clippers were standing in the elbow zone again, and quickly shortened the defensive distance, preparing to squeeze through the screen.
Unlike Jokic's pick-and-roll, Plumlee moved two steps to the left of Li Ze, and then immediately went straight down. Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, simply accelerated in a straight line without using a screen.
Leonard, who was sliding, did not lose his defensive position. Li Ze, who broke through to the right block, blasted the ball vigorously with his right hand. While protecting the ball with his back, he hit the ball vigorously with his left hand.
Leonard had just been bumped into a position close to the paint area, and immediately realized something was wrong. Seeing the continuous shaking of Li Ze's shoulders in front of him, he was taken aback for a while.
Noticing that Leonard failed to block the shot, Li Ze used his right foot as the axis, twisted his body forward quickly, and shot a fadeaway jumper easily!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily!
Cheers immediately erupted in the Staples Arena, and the Clippers fans became active again. Although Aldridge was fierce, the home team's offense also withstood it.
For several consecutive rounds, Aldridge succeeded in low singles.
Facing the Clippers' offense, the Spurs began to switch to different ways of defense, and Li Ze did not force his offense. Encountered a big delay, he sent flying cakes to Plumlee.
The delay is not timely, close to the low position, and complete the emergency stop jump shot. If a high-quality double-team is encountered, Ingles or Harris will come to the outside to respond.
The score continued to rise, Aldridge and Li Ze played steadily, Popovich finally couldn't sit still, and the delay began to become a double-team.
With Leonard and Aldridge double-teaming, Li Ze passed the ball from the gap to Plumlee who was running down. The latter had just received the pass, and Dior, who was near the baseline on the left, came up to help defend. .
Plumlee did not raise the ball hard, but threw the ball to Harris in the left corner.
The quality of the pass was mediocre, which forced Harris to jump up and catch the ball. Noticing that Diaw took the opportunity to slide back to the defense, Harris immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand.
Directly passed Dior, who returned to the defense, took two steps inside the three-point line and suddenly stopped, Harris quickly shot a mid-range jumper!
"Shuh!" The two-pointer scored again.
The fans cheered loudly again. Popovich on the sidelines immediately asked for a timeout. After more than half a quarter of the game, the Spurs were all singles, which made the old man feel bad.
Aldridge, who returned to the bench, quickly replenished his water. Continuous singles with the ball also consumed a lot of his energy.
Popovich still felt that there was something wrong with Aldridge's defensive position and gave Duncan a look. The latter threw away the towel and said he was ready.
On the Clippers bench, Jokic also took off his training uniform. As the game deepened, his task also came.
"Nicolas, be tough. Duncan who is playing against you is 40 years old. I don't think the opponent can stop your attack."
While on the court, Li Ze also encouraged Fatty Bai. Although the 40-year-old man was a bit invincible, Duncan just couldn't do it, his reaction was slow, and his defensive coverage dropped a lot.
Jokic nodded, he already had a lot of ideas on how to beat up the elderly.
In the last 3 minutes and 49 seconds of the first half, Parker and Duncan re-entered the field, and the main lineups of both sides officially returned.
Parker had just played and was defended by Reggie Bullock. Fortunately, Duncan's screen quality was good. After getting rid of the defense, he held the ball with his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough.
A 45-degree cut from the right side, Parker quickly pushed the ball to change direction, and then turned around with the top of the trend, and wiped it to the basket all at once.
Jokic immediately retracted his defense and interfered, but he did not expect that Parker made a false pass and gave the ball to Duncan behind him.
Bullock didn't react either, and watched Duncan succeed in the easy throw.
"Shh!"
The boos at the scene couldn't affect Duncan's good mood. He clapped his hands immediately after returning to halftime, encouraging his teammates to continue to defend.
At 56:60, the point difference is still 4 points. Li Ze didn't expect Aldridge to be so accurate, but as long as he can take the lead at halftime, it can be regarded as meeting his expectations.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The fans of the Clippers couldn't get up, they didn't fight back, and they couldn't play a wave. The two sides didn't make any mistakes until the second quarter, and the positional battle was not very good.
Li Ze, who dribbled through the half court, did not rush to attack, but observed the defensive position on the court.
The Spurs, who learned the lesson, did not double-team after halftime, and Ingles on the wing was more difficult than the coaching staff imagined. This Australian striker with average physical fitness can also organize offense.
After Duncan returned, Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief. Big players don't like to defend against pick-and-rolls. After more than 4 minutes of tossing, their physical energy was consumed a lot.
It is also the bottom corner and the flanks that open up the offensive space. Jokic noticed that his teammates had completed their positions and immediately moved quickly from the three-second zone to the three-point line.
Duncan was forced to follow up, and Leonard squeezed through the screen to prevent Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, from accelerating his breakthrough.
Jokic slid down quickly at this time, most of Duncan's defensive attention was attracted by Li Ze, and he didn't expect the fat white man in front of him to suddenly take the position fiercely.
Jokic, who was close to the three-second zone, turned around and leaned on Duncan's right foot to go straight to the basket, while raising his left hand and quickly asked for the ball.
Duncan was careless and completely lost his defensive position. After receiving a half-high throw from Li Ze, Jokic immediately dropped the ball with his left hand and hit it, approaching the basket again.
While catching the ball, Jokic twisted his shoulders twice, shook the defense briefly, then stepped to the bottom left of the basket, hit a layup and made a layup.
The fans at the scene first exclaimed, and then immediately cheered loudly. This scene is not common.
Fatty Bai's performance in the regular season was similar to last year, averaging 10.6 points per game, and he took about 9 shots per game, most of which were cakes.
From catching the ball to swaying to the layup, Jokic moved very quickly, coupled with his wide enough body, Duncan failed to make effective interference
Popovich on the sidelines was also stunned, and then thought that Duncan was 40 years old, and he could no longer protect the basket as easily as in the past.
In the last 3 minutes of the first half, Aldridge and Li Ze started to fight. The difference is that the Clippers' offensive rebounds are getting more and more fierce.
In the low position on the right, Li Ze received the ball with his back and faced Leonard's defense.
Interferenced by Leonard, the ball knocked out of the basket. Duncan and Jokic rushed to grab it at the same time. The fat white man who reacted faster hit the rebound first, and Li Ze at the basket also rushed in front of Leonard. .
The ball flew into the air again, and this time Jokic finally managed to grab the offensive rebound, and then carried Duncan's defense and forcibly hooked with his right hand!
"squeak!"
The referee immediately whistled Duncan's thug foul.
The wide-eyed Duncan didn't complain in the end, but just shook his hands in frustration, and then leaned on his knees and stood beside the paint area.
"The Spurs should be careful. Jokic is playing more proactively. They may be able to put the outside line properly and let Kayce catch the ball in the low post. It is not a good choice."
Chris Webb was speechless for a while when he saw Li Ze attacking in the low post continuously during this period, and then cooperated with him to grab rebounds.
"The most important thing is that Jokic's free throw percentage is 82.5%. Standing on the free throw line, there is a high probability of scoring."
Reggie Miller added that he fully understands why the second-round pick can start, and this free throw completely beats the previous DeAndre Jordan
Li Ze patted Jokic on the shoulder, that's all he had to do, the young man was much better physically than the old man.
After the free throw hit, the score came to 62:66. With Leonard's left elbow at the last moment, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot. The Clippers entered the second half with a 4-point lead.
The commentator Kevin Harlan felt that the two teams were playing crazy, especially the Spurs, which was completely different from the regular season:
"Aldridge made 16 of 12 and scored 25 points in the half! Harris' defense didn't have any impact on him."
"Leonard made 11 of 5, 2 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws. He also scored 14 points. The new core of the Spurs showed his style."
Chris Webber always finds the game awkward, and this doesn't feel like a Spurs game:
“这是属于快船队的比赛节奏，Kayce半场16中13，其中三分球3中1，罚球4中4，已经拿到了31分5篮板5助攻。”
"One person contributed half of the team's points. This is what the Clippers like to see. We all know what will happen after Kayce finds his touch."
Reggie Miller also felt that the game was a bit strange, but he was more concerned about the number of turnovers on both sides:
"The Spurs made 3 turnovers in the half, and the Clippers made 2 turnovers. It is rare to see a transition attack. It seems that this game will become a tug-of-war."
During the halftime break, Popovich continued to cheer up the current team's thigh Aldridge, and sent chicken soup for the soul by the way:
"Maintain this rhythm of the game, and we will win the game in the end, protect the rebounds in the second half, and continue to give the ball to the inside!"
Leonard didn't make a sound. In fact, he felt that he was in good shape, and he also scored several mid-range fadeaway jumpers.
But thinking of Aldridge's state, he still didn't speak in the end.
The Clippers did not make any adjustments, and the starting lineup continued to appear in the third quarter.
After the second half of the game started, the Clippers fans on the scene kept exclaiming again, and Aldridge never missed a shot!
The game lasted for more than 6 minutes. With Aldridge turning over from the left and making a low jumper, 80:82, the point difference was chased to only two points.
The Spurs also came to their spirits at this time and changed their defensive strategy again. Li Ze had just dribbled halftime, and Danny Green immediately cooperated with Leonard to double-team the defense.
The Spurs' defense took turns. Li Ze gave the ball to Ingles on the right flank, and Parker let go of Bullock and rushed straight up.
With the ball in his left hand, Ingles' breakthrough speed was not fast, but Parker could only slide along.
When the ball was passed to Bullock in the right corner, there was no one in front of him. The latter caught the ball and made an easy jump shot!
"state!"
The long rebound came out of the basket. Leonard had quick eyesight and quick hands. He retracted into the paint and received the rebound immediately. After noticing that the Clippers had retreated quickly, he gave the ball to Parker.
Faced with this excellent opportunity, the Spurs still gave the ball to Aldridge in the right block.
Although it wasn't my favorite position, the game felt explosive. After receiving the ball, Aldridge turned around, and after a tentative step, he pulled out directly on the spot!
"Shh!"
Clippers fans booed wildly when the ball went into the net and the score was tied.
On the Spurs bench, the atmosphere group shouted excitedly, it's too hard!
After taking the baseline ball, Li Ze quickly dribbled across the half court, and this time he simply played a high pick-and-roll, and the attack was launched very quickly.
Leonard failed to squeeze through the screen in time, and Duncan, who was stepping on the three-point line to defend, saw Li Ze push the ball with his left hand to change direction, and desperately slid to the right and back.
Parker, who was near the bottom line on the right, saw that Li Ze had easily broken into the paint, so he simply let go of Bullock in the bottom corner on the right again, and quickly stepped forward to complete the defense.
Li Ze rushed up in three strides, Parker and Duncan jumped at the same time, twisted their wrists in the air, and the ball flew to the right corner, Reggie Bullock caught the ball and threw it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
This time it was the Clippers' turn to shout from the bench. Reggie Brott excitedly clapped his hands with his teammates to celebrate. He also let out a sigh of relief and made the shot!
Duncan made a gesture of pressing down at this time, signaling his teammates not to worry.
In the next round, the Spurs continued to give the ball to Aldridge in the left block.
Received a pass from a familiar position, held the ball in his right hand and kept hitting the upline, then quickly turned around towards the baseline.
Just about to take advantage of the trend to complete the attack, when he turned around and was about to lift the ball, the ball was cut off.
It was only then that Aldridge noticed that Li Ze had slipped across the baseline and came to him while he was playing singles.
Li Ze took the ball and rushed all the way, accelerating along the right sideline. Leonard, who had just smoked in the other corner, quickly reminded Danny Green who was on the line to chase.
The Spurs players responded to each other and completed the defensive matchup immediately, but at this time Danny Green's scalp was numb, and he did not dare to cut the ball easily, so he could only continue to give physical confrontation on the left side of Li Ze.
Approaching the left wing, with a small step away from the three-point line, Danny Green accelerated his slide, trying to block Li Ze from outside the three-point line.
As soon as he adjusted his defensive center of gravity, Li Ze noticed that the defensive pressure on his side dropped sharply, and he suddenly pulled his crotch back sharply during the march.
Danny Green was suddenly shaken for a big split, completely powerless to defend, and watched Li Ze make a long-range three-pointer with an emergency stop jumper!
"Kayce!"
"The long-range bomb!"
The three-pointer was hollowed into the net, and the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled, and the sudden conversion of the three-pointer also caused the atmosphere in the Staples Arena to explode.
Hearing the cheers in the stadium, Popovich immediately asked for a timeout, looked at the score of 82:88 on the field, and immediately cursed:
"Shet! I hate threes!."
Back on the bench, Aldridge sat down and gasped for breath. Naturally, a lot of singles also had to pay the price of physical fitness. In addition, the delay on the defensive end was also tossed enough, and the physical energy was doubled.
The little transparent Danny Green has only scored 8 points in this game piecemeal.
He felt that he felt good tonight, and made two strong shots from beyond the three-point line, but the coach had the final say in the game, so he could only silently watch Popovich continue to arrange tactics for Aldridge.
Duncan rested for most of the second quarter, but he didn't rest for 2 minute in the third quarter, and there are less than 3 minutes left, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere.
The Clippers consume the most physical energy is Harris, who keeps going around the front to defend tonight, and always insists on single-handed defense against Aldridge. Although he was blown away, Coach De Nagro is very satisfied with the situation on the field:
"Hold on, the opponent's physical fitness has begun to decline. Next, we must speed up with all our strength and try to crush the opponent in one breath!"
Hearing what the head coach said, Harris nodded, replenished his water, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
After the timeout, the Spurs played a bottom-line cross-screen tactic, and Aldridge received the ball in the low post on the left again.
Li Ze and Leonard were still smoking in the right corner, and everyone on the Spurs pulled away to watch Aldridge play singles.
This time Li Ze failed to find a chance to steal the chicken, so he hit him twice, then turned to the bottom line, and Aldridge's signature turnaround jumper shot!
"state!"
The moment Aldridge turned around, Li Ze had already retreated to the paint area, and at the same time stuck Leonard behind him, and Jokic also stuck Duncan firmly, preventing him from approaching the basket.
The ball knocked out of the frame, Li Zeqiang jumped up in front of Leonard to receive the rebound, and then rushed with the ball!
Everyone in the Clippers speeded up, and Leonard stepped forward to delay the first time.
Panting for breath, Aldridge ran after Harris, and saw the opponent running to the right corner, just about to catch his breath, he saw Li Ze's right flank approaching the three-point line and suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back. After an emergency stop , right hand holding the ball straight to the basket.
Subconsciously shrunk to defend, but Aldridge's footsteps were too slow. Li Ze noticed the opportunity in the right corner, but did not choose to pass the ball.
Leonard then jumped up to block the shot, and Duncan also made up the defense, but the old man failed to block the block, and just moved a step to the basket, trying to interfere with the offense.
After turning around, Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, dodged Leonard's big hand in the air, leaned over and slammed into Duncan, and in the gap between the two, he threw the ball to the backboard.
"squeak!"
"Boom!"
The whistle sounded and the ball went in, and the ball hit the board high and went into the basket.
Duncan had no choice but to put his hips on his hips. In the past, he might have been able to complete the take-off block, but now he can only move one step sideways to interfere, and in the end it was a bad thing
"Wow!"
After completing the goal, Li Ze yelled and threw his fists in celebration. Steve Ballmer, who was under the basketball stand, followed the fans and cheered loudly.
Li Ze stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and made a steady hit with the extra penalty.
82:91, the point difference came to the biggest 9 points in the game!
Popovich on the sidelines finally broke the defense, Aldridge is sure to be like this, can he still lose tonight?
"Hold on for a few rounds! Stay focused!"
The bad old man scratched his neck and reminded his team members loudly, while making tactical gestures.
Aldridge, whose physical fitness was declining, had difficulty getting stuck at this time. Parker was too entangled by Bullock to play the ball, so he simply played Duncan's pick-and-roll again.
The screen was squeezed directly, and he was about to be double-teamed. Parker quickly returned the ball to Duncan in the elbow area to the right of the free throw line. The latter caught the ball and immediately moved to the right wing.
Leonard in the bottom corner on the right immediately came up to the line for a hand-off. Seeing that Leonard had switched to his left hand, Li Ze did not forcefully squeeze through the screen, but turned around Duncan deftly and walked off the line to block Lun Nader's breakthrough.
Sure enough, Leonard, who was holding the ball in his left hand, did not choose to make an emergency stop for a jump shot, but was blocked by Li Ze.
In the end, Leonard carried Li Ze's defense, came to the free throw line and hit with his back, pulled the ball sharply with his left hand, twisted his back and shot a jumper!
The movement was a little stiff, and was easily predicted by Li Ze again. Although he failed to complete the block, Leonard's fadeaway jumper hit the iron directly under the interference.
At the same time, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor all of a sudden.
Jokic struggled to receive the backcourt rebound, saw that Li Ze had accelerated, and immediately threw the ball vigorously.
After receiving the ball, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back, easily dodged Danny Green's defense, and then accelerated with his left hand.
Tony Parker returned to the defense quickly. Seeing that Li Ze had rushed into the paint, he immediately stepped forward to block the defense.
Li Ze, who was running at high speed, ignored Parker's underhand cut, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and rushed into the air with three big strides.
Parker's arm defense did not cause any interference. Amidst the cheers of the fans, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his left hand, pulled his arm back, his head flat framed, stayed in the air for a short time, and then swung the ball into the basket!
"Boom! Squeak!"
Hearing the referee's whistle, Tony Parker clapped his hands in frustration, his eyes were a little straight, and the point difference was about to run to 15 points.
"Oh!!"
After completing the dunk, Li Ze stood under the basket and yelled. The Staples Arena exploded in an instant. Steve Ballmer under the basketball stand excitedly gave Li Ze high-fives to celebrate.
"Unbelievable, the Clippers suddenly hit a wave of 11:0, and Kayce has to stand on the free throw line!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan had no idea that the format of the game would be reversed in less than 3 minutes.
"The ultra-high shooting rate made the Clippers unable to play transition offense. During this period, the Spurs' shooting rate began to decline. Popovich should make adjustments!"
Chris Webber clearly saw that Aldridge's physical fitness had declined, and the fierce block in the first half was about to disappear.
Li Ze walked to the free throw line with a smile on his face, and the Clippers fans shouted happily:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
The extra penalty scored again, 82:94, and the point difference finally came to double digits.
On the sidelines, Popovich subconsciously looked at the bench, and immediately realized that Diaw was too short, and David West couldn't keep up. He prayed in his heart that Aldridge would withstand it, and at the same time, he also expected Duncan to play a role.
It's just that in the last 2 minutes, the bad old man's heart was mostly cold.
Under crazy double-teaming, Li Ze will immediately give the ball to Jokic at the free throw line.
Although he ran for most of the time, Fatty Bai's physical fitness was not affected too much. For two consecutive rounds, he was crushed to the basket in the middle, and against Duncan's defense, he tilted his body and put the ball in.
Although there were also deflated rounds, Aldridge's offense was cut off, and Leonard's piecemeal scoring just equaled that of the fat man.
By the end of the third quarter, some Clippers fans in the Staples Arena had already begun to celebrate the victory of the game.
85:97, the point difference is still 12 points!
In the commentary booth of TNT, Kevin Harlan felt that this game was a bit outrageous:
"Superstars from both sides performed very well in this quarter!"
“阿尔德里奇8中6，罚球2中1，拿到13分，Kayce单节7中5，三分线外2中1，罚球4中4，砍下15分！”
“三节比赛过后，阿尔德里奇已经拿到了38分，Kayce甚至已经拿到了46分8篮板8助攻1抢断的数据！这太疯狂了！”
Reggie Miller and Chris Webber were also stunned, and the two were a little speechless. This game turned into a stabbing battle.
Popovich noticed that Li Ze was still moving his body on the sidelines, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched. In the third quarter, Duncan only rested for 3 seconds, so he had to come on the bench.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Li Ze replaced the veteran Barnes and led the bench together with Crawford.
Danny Green took on the important task of defending Li Ze again, but the game lasted for more than two minutes. Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, Leonard simply replaced David West, and the Spurs put up a 5 Small lineup.
Popovich stood on the sidelines and walked back and forth, watching Li Ze vigorously play off the ball on the court, and cursed inwardly for not being human.
Plumlee has a height advantage, and will play a low attack in some rounds. Li Ze, who is on the left wing, just lobbed the ball to the opponent and immediately pretended to cut in.
After Plumlee received the ball from the low position on the right, he lifted the ball with his back. Li Ze and Leonard entangled to the right block position, and suddenly accelerated and ran to the right corner.
After receiving the ball, cutting in, back running, and passing, Plumlee threw the ball directly to Li Ze. Although Leonard had already reacted, he never expected Li Ze to force a jump shot against the defense.
The ball was hollowed into the net, and huge cheers came from his ears. Leonard glanced at Li Ze helplessly, and then looked at Popovich on the sidelines.
Unfortunately, without any instructions, the bad old man just roared angrily and continued to remind the players on the field to maintain their concentration.
Li Ze didn't ask for the ball frequently, and Crawford was in good shape. Facing the opponent's small lineup, he was able to break through to the basket with his rhythm.
With 8 minutes and 19 seconds left in the game, the Spurs finally regained their main lineup. Popovich couldn't stand the situation where Mills and Crawford stabbed each other.
Aldridge's shooting rate also began to decline, and he hit iron for 2 consecutive rounds.
Li Ze seized a half-conversion opportunity, attacked the basket once, scored 2 points against Duncan's defense, and assisted Jokic to make a pass, causing Duncan to foul.
The coaching staff of the Spurs saw the two chasing Duncan and hitting hard, hitting the basket when they had the opportunity, and they were all silent for a while.
Duncan is 40 years old. If he is ten years younger, this kind of white and fat player will not have any chance at all.
Leonard just cut in without the ball and scored two points against Li Ze's defensive basket. Looking back, it was another high pick-and-roll and Jokic went down.
Duncan, who was on fire, also defended desperately at this time. The fat man hit the basket hard and finally the ball knocked out of the frame.
Although the defense was successful, Jokic reacted quickly and grabbed a rebound again. After a click, he got the rebound, put it hard, and failed to score.
Just as Duncan was about to receive the rebound, Li Ze took the opportunity to grab the rebound and also hit the rebound. In the end, it was Leonard's fight to successfully protect the backcourt rebound.
Aldridge, who was near the bottom line on the right, looked as if his feet were filled with lead, watching the four scramble into a ball.
Jokic, who retreated, clapped his hands in frustration. The old man still has strength?
After failing to make a transition attack, everyone in the Spurs was a little anxious. Parker dribbled through halftime, and Danny Green in the left corner quickly started.
With the help of Duncan's upper screen, the left flank got rid of Ingles, received a pass from Parker, and threw it directly!
"state!"
Li Ze, on the right flank, retracted in time and immediately received the long rebound. Leonard didn't care about the whistle, and went up and cut the ball directly.
Li Ze did not launch a transition attack, but after protecting the ball steadily, he released the ball with his right hand, turned his back and turned all the way, and steadily protected the ball for halftime.
Noticing that Danny Green on the left flank moved his footsteps, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly turned around quickly, switched to his right hand and began to accelerate his breakthrough.
Facing Leonard's defense and came to the right block, Aldridge subconsciously stepped forward to help defend, Li Ze took advantage of the situation and gave the ball to the right corner, Harris caught the ball and threw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
After resting on the field for most of the quarter, Harris regained his touch, laughed and gave Li Ze a high-five to celebrate after scoring.
Leonard wanted to tell Aldridge that he hadn't lost his defensive position, but when he looked up and saw the score on the field, he finally ran to half court with his head down.
In the Staples Arena, Clippers fans began to celebrate the victory of the game, and everyone cheered to the music.
At 105:117, there are 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the game, and the Spurs are running out of time!
Leonard missed a strong three-pointer, turned around, and sent Li Ze, who had switched offense, to the free throw line. There was no suspense in the game.
Reggie Miller saw that Li Ze missed a free throw, and immediately said jokingly:
"Looks like Kayce is going to get tired too, which proves he's still human, God, what an unbelievable performance!"
Chris Webber felt a little regretful when he saw the Spurs lose. He wanted to see big men enter a higher stage. At present, there are fewer and fewer big men in the league:
"Aldridge's performance is very good, but the Spurs need to change the tactical strategy, and other people also need to participate more in the offense."
With 48 seconds left in the game, head coach De Nagro smiled and hugged Li Ze, who was coming off the field, and suppressed the smile on his face, so that he could maintain the demeanor of a champion coach
In the Staples Arena, seeing the data displayed on the big screen in the center of the venue, the audience shouted loudly again:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
33中22，三分线外7中3，罚球12中11，58分11篮板10助攻1抢断2失误。
In G1 of the Western Conference semifinals, Li Ze once again showed his offensive firepower, and at the same time, he directly defeated the Spurs by himself.
The triple-double data of 58 points also made the sports media on the scene tweet wildly, it's heaven! !
When Kevin Rooney saw Li Ze return to his seat, he immediately handed over the towel. After Norman Powell handed over the water bottle, he also shouted excitedly:
"58 points! God, I didn't feel it at all during the game, so cool, Kayce!"
Li Ze gave a tactical back with a smile, saw the atmosphere team excitedly discussing their data, and finally said with a smile:
"Winning is the most important thing, keep this state, we will reach the Western Conference Finals!"
Weng Ming sounded at the end, and the score was fixed at 110:122. The Clippers successfully defeated the Spurs and defended their first home court!
According to the usual practice, TNT reporters will interview Li Ze, but the sports media present at this time can't care about the rules, and flock to Li Ze's side, taking pictures and passing the microphone.
Li Ze waved his hands to the crowd dumbfounded, then walked towards the Spurs players and began shaking hands in greeting!
Amika's social media has been completely blown up. At the end of the game, the bleachers (B/R) had the fastest speed, and directly posted a poster of Li Ze's slam dunk on Instagram:
"50+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, the only one in history! #Youngking# Witness greatness (crown.jpg)"
Then Amelia's sports media all followed suit and released Li Ze's data. Although the time was close to 23 o'clock, the fans who were stimulated by the high score also began to like and repost it!
Since detailed statistics of 50+ triple-doubles in the playoffs are available, Li Ze is the only player to achieve this achievement.
As the broadcaster of TNT, after the game, the host Ernie Johnson immediately joked like Charles Barkley beside him and asked:
"Chuck, do you still think the Spurs can win the series?"
"."
Charles Barkley supported his forehead, and was choked again. The Spurs were overwhelmed by his poisonous milk, and Aldridge's 46-point superb performance was useless.
Kenny Smith almost laughed out loud. History is indeed a circle. Seeing his old partner's silence, he also followed suit and joked:
"I know you must be thinking about bad experiences, but what I want to say is that Kayce is unstoppable!"
"When a team has a player with a stable average of 40+ per game, everything is possible!"
"."
Thank you for your subscription support~
It is still written in G1 in detail, and the pace will be accelerated in the future~
Embiid's operation made me laugh~
Laomei really understands traffic. A few days ago, she lured players to complain.
There was another wave of direct dialogue without a fight,
Haha, the show is constantly operating, and Embiid really cooperates~
(End of this chapter)
In G1 of the Western Conference semifinals, the first quarter of the game was beyond everyone's expectations. The Spurs showed their dominance inside, and Aldridge played a superb performance. As a result, the team fell behind by 2 points.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, Mills and Ginobili partnered in the backcourt, Danny Green and David West were on the front line, and Boris Diaw was the center.
The Clippers also sent veterans Crawford and Barnes, while Tucker, Evan Turner and Plumlee all followed suit.
Theoretically, the Spurs still have the inside advantage, but after a few rounds, David West and Diaw failed to grasp the opportunity of dislocation, and the low post missed. Only West hit a mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll jump shot.
Popovich was a little anxious on the sidelines. The game didn't go according to plan. Seeing Mills hit two free throws, the old man turned around and almost asked for a timeout.
The Clippers' offense was not outstanding either. After Crawford hit the iron, relying on Evan Turner's free throws and Plumlee's pie to score points, the Spurs' athletic ability couldn't keep up.
The Spurs at their peak had a luxurious back line, but with the decline of Parker and Ginobili, the team's perimeter began to have problems.
Fortunately, Dior was in good shape on the field. After 2 pick-and-rolls, he broke through with the ball and helped the Spurs score points.
What frustrates the Spurs coaching staff is that most of the Clippers' rounds are single defense, and the signal released is:
"Stop moving the ball and hit me!"
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Clippers fans cheered in the Staples Arena, and Mills, who had an average outside touch, once again picked and rolled David West at the top of the arc.
Evan Turner chased very hard, and Tucker saw that his teammates were not out of position, so he chose to follow West.
Holding the ball in his left hand and accelerating in a straight line, Mills simply broke through and came to the bottom left of the basket. Mills, who was one position ahead, took advantage of the opportunity to pick the basket with his left hand.
As a result, Evan Turner interfered, the ball knocked out of the frame, and Plumlee easily received the rebound.
The transition attack began to speed up. As soon as Crawford received the pass on the right wing, Plumlee put up the pick-and-roll.
Ginobili is still old after all, Crawford did not go to the left to break through, simply dribbled the ball under the crotch and changed direction in front of the body, easily getting rid of the defense.
He took two big steps forward, stopped suddenly, swayed the ball, tricked Ginobili's defense, and finally hung up on the opponent and forced a jump shot.
"squeak!"
The referee immediately whistled Ginobili's shooting foul, and Crawford got two free throws.
"Time flies too fast. Ginobili is already 39 years old. In this veteran dialogue, Crawford won!"
In the TNT commentary seat, Chris Webber saw the decline in the offensive efficiency of the two teams, and also made fun of it.
Reggie Miller saw the problem of the Spurs, and said directly:
"The rotation lineup is not dynamic enough. West and Diaw on the inside are 35 years old and the other is 34 years old. Ginobili on the outside is 39 years old."
"The Clippers' strategy is very simple, that is, try to switch defenses, but the Spurs failed to seize the opportunity."
The head coach De Nagro did not allow the 36-year-old Barnes to play too much time. Taking advantage of free throws, he kept Plumlee and began to replace the main force.
The Spurs coaching staff was speechless. The second quarter had just played for more than 2 minutes. This kind of rotation made people unable to complain.
Li Ze, who reappeared, celebrated with high fives with his teammates, and Plumlee felt that his chance had come.
The game style is different from Jokic, with better athletic ability and easier to eat cakes.
Li Ze noticed that Leonard and Aldridge were also on the court, and he immediately understood that the Spurs were going desperate.
Fight for the next away game and return to the home game to end the battle. Aldridge is in such a good state, Popovich believes that the team can win.
At 41:44, with Crawford's free throw, the Clippers led by 3 points. Before the end of the game, Crawford and Li Ze greeted each other with fist bumps. There is a high probability that it will be a star matchup tonight. The Clippers will Reduced rotation.
Harris re-entered the field with a frowning face. He could still stand up to a power forward like Aminu, but Aldridge really couldn't stand it.
Tony Parker was chased by Reggie Bullock for 3 of 1 in the first quarter and only scored 2 points. Therefore, the Spurs kept Mills and chose to continue to trust the outside shooter.
Li Ze patted Bullock, signaling the other side to continue to lead the guard against the Spurs.
This job is fairly easy for Bullock. His defensive effect is mediocre, and sometimes he has a surprising effect when defending defenders.
Ingles and Mills are teammates of the national team, and they are relatively familiar with each other, and they know some playing habits very well.
Bullock received only one foul in the first quarter of the game, so Mills dribbled halfway, and quickly changed direction in front of him with the ball in his right hand. Spoon Street.
The 1 meter guard is always easy to be targeted. Hearing the referee's whistle, Mills got up and wanted to come forward to argue, but Ingles stepped forward to dissuade him with a smile.
Dior and Danny Green hurried forward to pull the two sides apart. Li Ze noticed that Leonard beside him was still looking calm, and couldn't help complaining:
"A good temper sometimes suffers a lot! You have to motivate your teammates."
Although they don't talk much in front of the media, the two trained together in Los Angeles during the offseason. After getting to know each other well, Leonard is not like the past three sticks who can't say a fart:
"Limit your scoring and we'll win the game."
Li Ze stopped talking, but shook his head in his heart, he met a "clumsy" player, and waited to suffer a big loss
Popovich was very dissatisfied, but the score fell behind, and he quickly reminded Mills to keep calm and continue to give the ball to the inside.
The Spurs, who took the sideline kick, played simply and rudely. Aldridge made a cross screen in the three-second zone and replaced Harris behind him.
After receiving the pass, he simply went up the line and crushed the breakthrough, approaching the basket, and successfully shot with his right hand in the paint!
The Clippers fans at the scene were also a little dumbfounded, why are they still here?
When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, came to the top of the arc. Leonard noticed that the Clippers were standing in the elbow zone again, and quickly shortened the defensive distance, preparing to squeeze through the screen.
Unlike Jokic's pick-and-roll, Plumlee moved two steps to the left of Li Ze, and then immediately went straight down. Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, simply accelerated in a straight line without using a screen.
Leonard, who was sliding, did not lose his defensive position. Li Ze, who broke through to the right block, blasted the ball vigorously with his right hand. While protecting the ball with his back, he hit the ball vigorously with his left hand.
Leonard had just been bumped into a position close to the paint area, and immediately realized something was wrong. Seeing the continuous shaking of Li Ze's shoulders in front of him, he was taken aback for a while.
Noticing that Leonard failed to block the shot, Li Ze used his right foot as the axis, twisted his body forward quickly, and shot a fadeaway jumper easily!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily!
Cheers immediately erupted in the Staples Arena, and the Clippers fans became active again. Although Aldridge was fierce, the home team's offense also withstood it.
For several consecutive rounds, Aldridge succeeded in low singles.
Facing the Clippers' offense, the Spurs began to switch to different ways of defense, and Li Ze did not force his offense. Encountered a big delay, he sent flying cakes to Plumlee.
The delay is not timely, close to the low position, and complete the emergency stop jump shot. If a high-quality double-team is encountered, Ingles or Harris will come to the outside to respond.
The score continued to rise, Aldridge and Li Ze played steadily, Popovich finally couldn't sit still, and the delay began to become a double-team.
With Leonard and Aldridge double-teaming, Li Ze passed the ball from the gap to Plumlee who was running down. The latter had just received the pass, and Dior, who was near the baseline on the left, came up to help defend. .
Plumlee did not raise the ball hard, but threw the ball to Harris in the left corner.
The quality of the pass was mediocre, which forced Harris to jump up and catch the ball. Noticing that Diaw took the opportunity to slide back to the defense, Harris immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand.
Directly passed Dior, who returned to the defense, took two steps inside the three-point line and suddenly stopped, Harris quickly shot a mid-range jumper!
"Shuh!" The two-pointer scored again.
The fans cheered loudly again. Popovich on the sidelines immediately asked for a timeout. After more than half a quarter of the game, the Spurs were all singles, which made the old man feel bad.
Aldridge, who returned to the bench, quickly replenished his water. Continuous singles with the ball also consumed a lot of his energy.
Popovich still felt that there was something wrong with Aldridge's defensive position and gave Duncan a look. The latter threw away the towel and said he was ready.
On the Clippers bench, Jokic also took off his training uniform. As the game deepened, his task also came.
"Nicolas, be tough. Duncan who is playing against you is 40 years old. I don't think the opponent can stop your attack."
While on the court, Li Ze also encouraged Fatty Bai. Although the 40-year-old man was a bit invincible, Duncan just couldn't do it, his reaction was slow, and his defensive coverage dropped a lot.
Jokic nodded, he already had a lot of ideas on how to beat up the elderly.
In the last 3 minutes and 49 seconds of the first half, Parker and Duncan re-entered the field, and the main lineups of both sides officially returned.
Parker had just played and was defended by Reggie Bullock. Fortunately, Duncan's screen quality was good. After getting rid of the defense, he held the ball with his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough.
A 45-degree cut from the right side, Parker quickly pushed the ball to change direction, and then turned around with the top of the trend, and wiped it to the basket all at once.
Jokic immediately retracted his defense and interfered, but he did not expect that Parker made a false pass and gave the ball to Duncan behind him.
Bullock didn't react either, and watched Duncan succeed in the easy throw.
"Shh!"
The boos at the scene couldn't affect Duncan's good mood. He clapped his hands immediately after returning to halftime, encouraging his teammates to continue to defend.
At 56:60, the point difference is still 4 points. Li Ze didn't expect Aldridge to be so accurate, but as long as he can take the lead at halftime, it can be regarded as meeting his expectations.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The fans of the Clippers couldn't get up, they didn't fight back, and they couldn't play a wave. The two sides didn't make any mistakes until the second quarter, and the positional battle was not very good.
Li Ze, who dribbled through the half court, did not rush to attack, but observed the defensive position on the court.
The Spurs, who learned the lesson, did not double-team after halftime, and Ingles on the wing was more difficult than the coaching staff imagined. This Australian striker with average physical fitness can also organize offense.
After Duncan returned, Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief. Big players don't like to defend against pick-and-rolls. After more than 4 minutes of tossing, their physical energy was consumed a lot.
It is also the bottom corner and the flanks that open up the offensive space. Jokic noticed that his teammates had completed their positions and immediately moved quickly from the three-second zone to the three-point line.
Duncan was forced to follow up, and Leonard squeezed through the screen to prevent Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, from accelerating his breakthrough.
Jokic slid down quickly at this time, most of Duncan's defensive attention was attracted by Li Ze, and he didn't expect the fat white man in front of him to suddenly take the position fiercely.
Jokic, who was close to the three-second zone, turned around and leaned on Duncan's right foot to go straight to the basket, while raising his left hand and quickly asked for the ball.
Duncan was careless and completely lost his defensive position. After receiving a half-high throw from Li Ze, Jokic immediately dropped the ball with his left hand and hit it, approaching the basket again.
While catching the ball, Jokic twisted his shoulders twice, shook the defense briefly, then stepped to the bottom left of the basket, hit a layup and made a layup.
The fans at the scene first exclaimed, and then immediately cheered loudly. This scene is not common.
Fatty Bai's performance in the regular season was similar to last year, averaging 10.6 points per game, and he took about 9 shots per game, most of which were cakes.
From catching the ball to swaying to the layup, Jokic moved very quickly, coupled with his wide enough body, Duncan failed to make effective interference
Popovich on the sidelines was also stunned, and then thought that Duncan was 40 years old, and he could no longer protect the basket as easily as in the past.
In the last 3 minutes of the first half, Aldridge and Li Ze started to fight. The difference is that the Clippers' offensive rebounds are getting more and more fierce.
In the low position on the right, Li Ze received the ball with his back and faced Leonard's defense.
Interferenced by Leonard, the ball knocked out of the basket. Duncan and Jokic rushed to grab it at the same time. The fat white man who reacted faster hit the rebound first, and Li Ze at the basket also rushed in front of Leonard. .
The ball flew into the air again, and this time Jokic finally managed to grab the offensive rebound, and then carried Duncan's defense and forcibly hooked with his right hand!
"squeak!"
The referee immediately whistled Duncan's thug foul.
The wide-eyed Duncan didn't complain in the end, but just shook his hands in frustration, and then leaned on his knees and stood beside the paint area.
"The Spurs should be careful. Jokic is playing more proactively. They may be able to put the outside line properly and let Kayce catch the ball in the low post. It is not a good choice."
Chris Webb was speechless for a while when he saw Li Ze attacking in the low post continuously during this period, and then cooperated with him to grab rebounds.
"The most important thing is that Jokic's free throw percentage is 82.5%. Standing on the free throw line, there is a high probability of scoring."
Reggie Miller added that he fully understands why the second-round pick can start, and this free throw completely beats the previous DeAndre Jordan
Li Ze patted Jokic on the shoulder, that's all he had to do, the young man was much better physically than the old man.
After the free throw hit, the score came to 62:66. With Leonard's left elbow at the last moment, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot. The Clippers entered the second half with a 4-point lead.
The commentator Kevin Harlan felt that the two teams were playing crazy, especially the Spurs, which was completely different from the regular season:
"Aldridge made 16 of 12 and scored 25 points in the half! Harris' defense didn't have any impact on him."
"Leonard made 11 of 5, 2 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws. He also scored 14 points. The new core of the Spurs showed his style."
Chris Webber always finds the game awkward, and this doesn't feel like a Spurs game:
“这是属于快船队的比赛节奏，Kayce半场16中13，其中三分球3中1，罚球4中4，已经拿到了31分5篮板5助攻。”
"One person contributed half of the team's points. This is what the Clippers like to see. We all know what will happen after Kayce finds his touch."
Reggie Miller also felt that the game was a bit strange, but he was more concerned about the number of turnovers on both sides:
"The Spurs made 3 turnovers in the half, and the Clippers made 2 turnovers. It is rare to see a transition attack. It seems that this game will become a tug-of-war."
During the halftime break, Popovich continued to cheer up the current team's thigh Aldridge, and sent chicken soup for the soul by the way:
"Maintain this rhythm of the game, and we will win the game in the end, protect the rebounds in the second half, and continue to give the ball to the inside!"
Leonard didn't make a sound. In fact, he felt that he was in good shape, and he also scored several mid-range fadeaway jumpers.
But thinking of Aldridge's state, he still didn't speak in the end.
The Clippers did not make any adjustments, and the starting lineup continued to appear in the third quarter.
After the second half of the game started, the Clippers fans on the scene kept exclaiming again, and Aldridge never missed a shot!
The game lasted for more than 6 minutes. With Aldridge turning over from the left and making a low jumper, 80:82, the point difference was chased to only two points.
The Spurs also came to their spirits at this time and changed their defensive strategy again. Li Ze had just dribbled halftime, and Danny Green immediately cooperated with Leonard to double-team the defense.
The Spurs' defense took turns. Li Ze gave the ball to Ingles on the right flank, and Parker let go of Bullock and rushed straight up.
With the ball in his left hand, Ingles' breakthrough speed was not fast, but Parker could only slide along.
When the ball was passed to Bullock in the right corner, there was no one in front of him. The latter caught the ball and made an easy jump shot!
"state!"
The long rebound came out of the basket. Leonard had quick eyesight and quick hands. He retracted into the paint and received the rebound immediately. After noticing that the Clippers had retreated quickly, he gave the ball to Parker.
Faced with this excellent opportunity, the Spurs still gave the ball to Aldridge in the right block.
Although it wasn't my favorite position, the game felt explosive. After receiving the ball, Aldridge turned around, and after a tentative step, he pulled out directly on the spot!
"Shh!"
Clippers fans booed wildly when the ball went into the net and the score was tied.
On the Spurs bench, the atmosphere group shouted excitedly, it's too hard!
After taking the baseline ball, Li Ze quickly dribbled across the half court, and this time he simply played a high pick-and-roll, and the attack was launched very quickly.
Leonard failed to squeeze through the screen in time, and Duncan, who was stepping on the three-point line to defend, saw Li Ze push the ball with his left hand to change direction, and desperately slid to the right and back.
Parker, who was near the bottom line on the right, saw that Li Ze had easily broken into the paint, so he simply let go of Bullock in the bottom corner on the right again, and quickly stepped forward to complete the defense.
Li Ze rushed up in three strides, Parker and Duncan jumped at the same time, twisted their wrists in the air, and the ball flew to the right corner, Reggie Bullock caught the ball and threw it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
This time it was the Clippers' turn to shout from the bench. Reggie Brott excitedly clapped his hands with his teammates to celebrate. He also let out a sigh of relief and made the shot!
Duncan made a gesture of pressing down at this time, signaling his teammates not to worry.
In the next round, the Spurs continued to give the ball to Aldridge in the left block.
Received a pass from a familiar position, held the ball in his right hand and kept hitting the upline, then quickly turned around towards the baseline.
Just about to take advantage of the trend to complete the attack, when he turned around and was about to lift the ball, the ball was cut off.
It was only then that Aldridge noticed that Li Ze had slipped across the baseline and came to him while he was playing singles.
Li Ze took the ball and rushed all the way, accelerating along the right sideline. Leonard, who had just smoked in the other corner, quickly reminded Danny Green who was on the line to chase.
The Spurs players responded to each other and completed the defensive matchup immediately, but at this time Danny Green's scalp was numb, and he did not dare to cut the ball easily, so he could only continue to give physical confrontation on the left side of Li Ze.
Approaching the left wing, with a small step away from the three-point line, Danny Green accelerated his slide, trying to block Li Ze from outside the three-point line.
As soon as he adjusted his defensive center of gravity, Li Ze noticed that the defensive pressure on his side dropped sharply, and he suddenly pulled his crotch back sharply during the march.
Danny Green was suddenly shaken for a big split, completely powerless to defend, and watched Li Ze make a long-range three-pointer with an emergency stop jumper!
"Kayce!"
"The long-range bomb!"
The three-pointer was hollowed into the net, and the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled, and the sudden conversion of the three-pointer also caused the atmosphere in the Staples Arena to explode.
Hearing the cheers in the stadium, Popovich immediately asked for a timeout, looked at the score of 82:88 on the field, and immediately cursed:
"Shet! I hate threes!."
Back on the bench, Aldridge sat down and gasped for breath. Naturally, a lot of singles also had to pay the price of physical fitness. In addition, the delay on the defensive end was also tossed enough, and the physical energy was doubled.
The little transparent Danny Green has only scored 8 points in this game piecemeal.
He felt that he felt good tonight, and made two strong shots from beyond the three-point line, but the coach had the final say in the game, so he could only silently watch Popovich continue to arrange tactics for Aldridge.
Duncan rested for most of the second quarter, but he didn't rest for 2 minute in the third quarter, and there are less than 3 minutes left, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere.
The Clippers consume the most physical energy is Harris, who keeps going around the front to defend tonight, and always insists on single-handed defense against Aldridge. Although he was blown away, Coach De Nagro is very satisfied with the situation on the field:
"Hold on, the opponent's physical fitness has begun to decline. Next, we must speed up with all our strength and try to crush the opponent in one breath!"
Hearing what the head coach said, Harris nodded, replenished his water, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
After the timeout, the Spurs played a bottom-line cross-screen tactic, and Aldridge received the ball in the low post on the left again.
Li Ze and Leonard were still smoking in the right corner, and everyone on the Spurs pulled away to watch Aldridge play singles.
This time Li Ze failed to find a chance to steal the chicken, so he hit him twice, then turned to the bottom line, and Aldridge's signature turnaround jumper shot!
"state!"
The moment Aldridge turned around, Li Ze had already retreated to the paint area, and at the same time stuck Leonard behind him, and Jokic also stuck Duncan firmly, preventing him from approaching the basket.
The ball knocked out of the frame, Li Zeqiang jumped up in front of Leonard to receive the rebound, and then rushed with the ball!
Everyone in the Clippers speeded up, and Leonard stepped forward to delay the first time.
Panting for breath, Aldridge ran after Harris, and saw the opponent running to the right corner, just about to catch his breath, he saw Li Ze's right flank approaching the three-point line and suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back. After an emergency stop , right hand holding the ball straight to the basket.
Subconsciously shrunk to defend, but Aldridge's footsteps were too slow. Li Ze noticed the opportunity in the right corner, but did not choose to pass the ball.
Leonard then jumped up to block the shot, and Duncan also made up the defense, but the old man failed to block the block, and just moved a step to the basket, trying to interfere with the offense.
After turning around, Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, dodged Leonard's big hand in the air, leaned over and slammed into Duncan, and in the gap between the two, he threw the ball to the backboard.
"squeak!"
"Boom!"
The whistle sounded and the ball went in, and the ball hit the board high and went into the basket.
Duncan had no choice but to put his hips on his hips. In the past, he might have been able to complete the take-off block, but now he can only move one step sideways to interfere, and in the end it was a bad thing
"Wow!"
After completing the goal, Li Ze yelled and threw his fists in celebration. Steve Ballmer, who was under the basketball stand, followed the fans and cheered loudly.
Li Ze stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and made a steady hit with the extra penalty.
82:91, the point difference came to the biggest 9 points in the game!
Popovich on the sidelines finally broke the defense, Aldridge is sure to be like this, can he still lose tonight?
"Hold on for a few rounds! Stay focused!"
The bad old man scratched his neck and reminded his team members loudly, while making tactical gestures.
Aldridge, whose physical fitness was declining, had difficulty getting stuck at this time. Parker was too entangled by Bullock to play the ball, so he simply played Duncan's pick-and-roll again.
The screen was squeezed directly, and he was about to be double-teamed. Parker quickly returned the ball to Duncan in the elbow area to the right of the free throw line. The latter caught the ball and immediately moved to the right wing.
Leonard in the bottom corner on the right immediately came up to the line for a hand-off. Seeing that Leonard had switched to his left hand, Li Ze did not forcefully squeeze through the screen, but turned around Duncan deftly and walked off the line to block Lun Nader's breakthrough.
Sure enough, Leonard, who was holding the ball in his left hand, did not choose to make an emergency stop for a jump shot, but was blocked by Li Ze.
In the end, Leonard carried Li Ze's defense, came to the free throw line and hit with his back, pulled the ball sharply with his left hand, twisted his back and shot a jumper!
The movement was a little stiff, and was easily predicted by Li Ze again. Although he failed to complete the block, Leonard's fadeaway jumper hit the iron directly under the interference.
At the same time, he lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor all of a sudden.
Jokic struggled to receive the backcourt rebound, saw that Li Ze had accelerated, and immediately threw the ball vigorously.
After receiving the ball, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back, easily dodged Danny Green's defense, and then accelerated with his left hand.
Tony Parker returned to the defense quickly. Seeing that Li Ze had rushed into the paint, he immediately stepped forward to block the defense.
Li Ze, who was running at high speed, ignored Parker's underhand cut, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and rushed into the air with three big strides.
Parker's arm defense did not cause any interference. Amidst the cheers of the fans, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his left hand, pulled his arm back, his head flat framed, stayed in the air for a short time, and then swung the ball into the basket!
"Boom! Squeak!"
Hearing the referee's whistle, Tony Parker clapped his hands in frustration, his eyes were a little straight, and the point difference was about to run to 15 points.
"Oh!!"
After completing the dunk, Li Ze stood under the basket and yelled. The Staples Arena exploded in an instant. Steve Ballmer under the basketball stand excitedly gave Li Ze high-fives to celebrate.
"Unbelievable, the Clippers suddenly hit a wave of 11:0, and Kayce has to stand on the free throw line!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan had no idea that the format of the game would be reversed in less than 3 minutes.
"The ultra-high shooting rate made the Clippers unable to play transition offense. During this period, the Spurs' shooting rate began to decline. Popovich should make adjustments!"
Chris Webber clearly saw that Aldridge's physical fitness had declined, and the fierce block in the first half was about to disappear.
Li Ze walked to the free throw line with a smile on his face, and the Clippers fans shouted happily:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
The extra penalty scored again, 82:94, and the point difference finally came to double digits.
On the sidelines, Popovich subconsciously looked at the bench, and immediately realized that Diaw was too short, and David West couldn't keep up. He prayed in his heart that Aldridge would withstand it, and at the same time, he also expected Duncan to play a role.
It's just that in the last 2 minutes, the bad old man's heart was mostly cold.
Under crazy double-teaming, Li Ze will immediately give the ball to Jokic at the free throw line.
Although he ran for most of the time, Fatty Bai's physical fitness was not affected too much. For two consecutive rounds, he was crushed to the basket in the middle, and against Duncan's defense, he tilted his body and put the ball in.
Although there were also deflated rounds, Aldridge's offense was cut off, and Leonard's piecemeal scoring just equaled that of the fat man.
By the end of the third quarter, some Clippers fans in the Staples Arena had already begun to celebrate the victory of the game.
85:97, the point difference is still 12 points!
In the commentary booth of TNT, Kevin Harlan felt that this game was a bit outrageous:
"Superstars from both sides performed very well in this quarter!"
“阿尔德里奇8中6，罚球2中1，拿到13分，Kayce单节7中5，三分线外2中1，罚球4中4，砍下15分！”
“三节比赛过后，阿尔德里奇已经拿到了38分，Kayce甚至已经拿到了46分8篮板8助攻1抢断的数据！这太疯狂了！”
Reggie Miller and Chris Webber were also stunned, and the two were a little speechless. This game turned into a stabbing battle.
Popovich noticed that Li Ze was still moving his body on the sidelines, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched. In the third quarter, Duncan only rested for 3 seconds, so he had to come on the bench.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Li Ze replaced the veteran Barnes and led the bench together with Crawford.
Danny Green took on the important task of defending Li Ze again, but the game lasted for more than two minutes. Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, Leonard simply replaced David West, and the Spurs put up a 5 Small lineup.
Popovich stood on the sidelines and walked back and forth, watching Li Ze vigorously play off the ball on the court, and cursed inwardly for not being human.
Plumlee has a height advantage, and will play a low attack in some rounds. Li Ze, who is on the left wing, just lobbed the ball to the opponent and immediately pretended to cut in.
After Plumlee received the ball from the low position on the right, he lifted the ball with his back. Li Ze and Leonard entangled to the right block position, and suddenly accelerated and ran to the right corner.
After receiving the ball, cutting in, back running, and passing, Plumlee threw the ball directly to Li Ze. Although Leonard had already reacted, he never expected Li Ze to force a jump shot against the defense.
The ball was hollowed into the net, and huge cheers came from his ears. Leonard glanced at Li Ze helplessly, and then looked at Popovich on the sidelines.
Unfortunately, without any instructions, the bad old man just roared angrily and continued to remind the players on the field to maintain their concentration.
Li Ze didn't ask for the ball frequently, and Crawford was in good shape. Facing the opponent's small lineup, he was able to break through to the basket with his rhythm.
With 8 minutes and 19 seconds left in the game, the Spurs finally regained their main lineup. Popovich couldn't stand the situation where Mills and Crawford stabbed each other.
Aldridge's shooting rate also began to decline, and he hit iron for 2 consecutive rounds.
Li Ze seized a half-conversion opportunity, attacked the basket once, scored 2 points against Duncan's defense, and assisted Jokic to make a pass, causing Duncan to foul.
The coaching staff of the Spurs saw the two chasing Duncan and hitting hard, hitting the basket when they had the opportunity, and they were all silent for a while.
Duncan is 40 years old. If he is ten years younger, this kind of white and fat player will not have any chance at all.
Leonard just cut in without the ball and scored two points against Li Ze's defensive basket. Looking back, it was another high pick-and-roll and Jokic went down.
Duncan, who was on fire, also defended desperately at this time. The fat man hit the basket hard and finally the ball knocked out of the frame.
Although the defense was successful, Jokic reacted quickly and grabbed a rebound again. After a click, he got the rebound, put it hard, and failed to score.
Just as Duncan was about to receive the rebound, Li Ze took the opportunity to grab the rebound and also hit the rebound. In the end, it was Leonard's fight to successfully protect the backcourt rebound.
Aldridge, who was near the bottom line on the right, looked as if his feet were filled with lead, watching the four scramble into a ball.
Jokic, who retreated, clapped his hands in frustration. The old man still has strength?
After failing to make a transition attack, everyone in the Spurs was a little anxious. Parker dribbled through halftime, and Danny Green in the left corner quickly started.
With the help of Duncan's upper screen, the left flank got rid of Ingles, received a pass from Parker, and threw it directly!
"state!"
Li Ze, on the right flank, retracted in time and immediately received the long rebound. Leonard didn't care about the whistle, and went up and cut the ball directly.
Li Ze did not launch a transition attack, but after protecting the ball steadily, he released the ball with his right hand, turned his back and turned all the way, and steadily protected the ball for halftime.
Noticing that Danny Green on the left flank moved his footsteps, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly turned around quickly, switched to his right hand and began to accelerate his breakthrough.
Facing Leonard's defense and came to the right block, Aldridge subconsciously stepped forward to help defend, Li Ze took advantage of the situation and gave the ball to the right corner, Harris caught the ball and threw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
After resting on the field for most of the quarter, Harris regained his touch, laughed and gave Li Ze a high-five to celebrate after scoring.
Leonard wanted to tell Aldridge that he hadn't lost his defensive position, but when he looked up and saw the score on the field, he finally ran to half court with his head down.
In the Staples Arena, Clippers fans began to celebrate the victory of the game, and everyone cheered to the music.
At 105:117, there are 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the game, and the Spurs are running out of time!
Leonard missed a strong three-pointer, turned around, and sent Li Ze, who had switched offense, to the free throw line. There was no suspense in the game.
Reggie Miller saw that Li Ze missed a free throw, and immediately said jokingly:
"Looks like Kayce is going to get tired too, which proves he's still human, God, what an unbelievable performance!"
Chris Webber felt a little regretful when he saw the Spurs lose. He wanted to see big men enter a higher stage. At present, there are fewer and fewer big men in the league:
"Aldridge's performance is very good, but the Spurs need to change the tactical strategy, and other people also need to participate more in the offense."
With 48 seconds left in the game, head coach De Nagro smiled and hugged Li Ze, who was coming off the field, and suppressed the smile on his face, so that he could maintain the demeanor of a champion coach
In the Staples Arena, seeing the data displayed on the big screen in the center of the venue, the audience shouted loudly again:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
33中22，三分线外7中3，罚球12中11，58分11篮板10助攻1抢断2失误。
In G1 of the Western Conference semifinals, Li Ze once again showed his offensive firepower, and at the same time, he directly defeated the Spurs by himself.
The triple-double data of 58 points also made the sports media on the scene tweet wildly, it's heaven! !
When Kevin Rooney saw Li Ze return to his seat, he immediately handed over the towel. After Norman Powell handed over the water bottle, he also shouted excitedly:
"58 points! God, I didn't feel it at all during the game, so cool, Kayce!"
Li Ze gave a tactical back with a smile, saw the atmosphere team excitedly discussing their data, and finally said with a smile:
"Winning is the most important thing, keep this state, we will reach the Western Conference Finals!"
Weng Ming sounded at the end, and the score was fixed at 110:122. The Clippers successfully defeated the Spurs and defended their first home court!
According to the usual practice, TNT reporters will interview Li Ze, but the sports media present at this time can't care about the rules, and flock to Li Ze's side, taking pictures and passing the microphone.
Li Ze waved his hands to the crowd dumbfounded, then walked towards the Spurs players and began shaking hands in greeting!
Amika's social media has been completely blown up. At the end of the game, the bleachers (B/R) had the fastest speed, and directly posted a poster of Li Ze's slam dunk on Instagram:
"50+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, the only one in history! #Youngking# Witness greatness (crown.jpg)"
Then Amelia's sports media all followed suit and released Li Ze's data. Although the time was close to 23 o'clock, the fans who were stimulated by the high score also began to like and repost it!
Since detailed statistics of 50+ triple-doubles in the playoffs are available, Li Ze is the only player to achieve this achievement.
As the broadcaster of TNT, after the game, the host Ernie Johnson immediately joked like Charles Barkley beside him and asked:
"Chuck, do you still think the Spurs can win the series?"
"."
Charles Barkley supported his forehead, and was choked again. The Spurs were overwhelmed by his poisonous milk, and Aldridge's 46-point superb performance was useless.
Kenny Smith almost laughed out loud. History is indeed a circle. Seeing his old partner's silence, he also followed suit and joked:
"I know you must be thinking about bad experiences, but what I want to say is that Kayce is unstoppable!"
"When a team has a player with a stable average of 40+ per game, everything is possible!"
"."
