Wicc never expected that the team had the advantage in the first quarter, but Leonard did not play according to the command, which led to the team being at a disadvantage in the first quarter.

This is not a good sign.

In this top-level showdown, it is at the Clippers' home court, and it is very dangerous to be beaten.

Vicci has no time to teach Leonard a lesson. He demanded that the momentum be restored in the second quarter and strive to lead into the third quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Liang rested off the court.

This is a good opportunity for the Spurs to use their substitute lineup to increase their points.

The Spurs began to cooperate with smooth passing. After continuous transfers, Belinelli broke through the middle with the ball and passed the ball to Split who was behind the pick-and-roll.

The basket was completely empty, not a single person because the Clippers defender's attention was attracted by Green and Ginobili on the wing.

Split was able to catch the ball and hit a one-handed dunk.

The Spurs' positional offense is really perfect, with their tactics and tacit understanding.

Li Liang sat off the court and watched. If this was not his opponent, he would really applaud the Spurs' attack.

And the Clippers naturally have their scoring methods.

Griffin was the core of the field at this time. He received the ball from a low post and took Split to the foul and went to the free throw line.

Vic was obviously very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and shouted at the referee - although it was useless.

Griffin made one of two free throws, 25:29, and the Clippers led by 4 points.

The Spurs' positional offense is basically 2-3. Three backcourt players conduct and break through from the outside, and two frontcourt players in the inside take turns to cover, block people, go down or take feints. The whole system is still very smooth.

However, if the Clippers do a good job of rotation and keep changing defenses, the Spurs' offense will not be a test.

After four games of fierce battle, the Clippers players slowly got some tips for the Spurs' offense.

The Spurs' continuous passes and cuts will have no effect next.

In the end, Mills had to force a three-pointer from the outside, but missed.

Griffin took the rebound and instigated a fast break. The ball was given to Odom. Odom pretended to break through and passed the ball to Crawford in the middle. Crawford received the ball and looked at the basket, and immediately passed it to Paul in the right corner.

Paul acted as a stubby stake in the bottom corner in this counterattack.

It turns out that he did a good job in this job. He had a big open position and took the ball and made a three-pointer!

25:32, the Clippers are further expanding their advantages.

However, the Spurs immediately counterattacked. Ginobili dribbled quickly through the half, and made a three-pointer after pick-and-roll, and an answer                                          

Then Split defended Griffin's strong attack and counterattacked quickly. Mills rode alone with the ball and made a layup at the basket, chasing 5 points in a row.

The score suddenly became 30:32.

The attacks on both sides were very smooth.

Crawford put the ball in the pick-and-roll and gave Griffin the downside. Griffin seized the opportunity and took off and dunked!

Duncan was still sitting off the court, and Griffin was about to hurry up and rage in the three-second zone.

But immediately afterwards Griffin fouled while defending Split.

Serve the sideline ball, Mills seized the opportunity to break through the basket, squeezed out the defender, and made a layup.

32:34, the Spurs are still biting.

Then, Griffin missed a high mid-range jump shot.

The Spurs got the backcourt rebound and fought back.

Ginobili controlled the rhythm, and the Clippers' defensive rotation had problems. Griffin should have defended Split, but after cross cover, he turned into Odom to defend.

In fact, Odom's low-post defense ability is pretty good, but that's what he used to be.

His defensive skills have declined a lot now.

Ginobili immediately passed it to Split. The old man Split pushed the cart in and chiseled it in little by little, turning around and throwing it!

The referee blew a whistle and blew Odom's defensive foul.

The ball stumbled into the basket, which was quite Duncan's style.

Two points hit, and more penalty!

With Split's free throw, the Spurs took the lead again!

Li Liang called for a pause... No, Rivers should have called a pause.

As a result, the players were suspended from the game. Before Rivers could speak, Li Liang scolded him first.

A few minutes into the second quarter, the Clippers' defense was a mess again, and they lost all the advantages they established in the first quarter.

"Defense! Protect the basket! Look at how you pick-and-roll defenses! Substitutions, substitutions, substitutions, formations should not be messed up, and attention should be focused!"

Li Liang used a hair dryer to everyone, but after scolding Rivers couldn't stand it anymore. My head coach hadn't spoken yet.

Brother, please calm down and stop scolding, we still have to compete.

Okay, you will be on the court soon, and you will come on the court and scold me later.

Li Liang is there or not, the Clippers' defense is indeed at two levels.

I didn’t feel anything in the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs before, so I couldn’t tell.

Because the Clippers' offense is so good that they don't need to fight hard to defeat their opponents.

The Spurs are different. They are absolutely strong, very strong.

As long as the Clippers are negligent and their attention will be punished if they are defensive and their attention will decline.

Li Liang and Paul both made a comeback, and Duncan and Leonard from the Spurs also took place.

Leonard did not play in the last three minutes of the first quarter and did not play for more than three minutes at the beginning of the second quarter. This was a punishment for Leonard's disobedience.

But can this punishment have a positive effect?

not necessarily.

Leonard went on the court without saying a word. Before he got on the court, Vic had some advice to him, but Leonard didn't listen to a word.

He is thinking about one thing to defeat Bruce Lee!

That’s right, that’s what Leonard thought. Although he is just a rookie with 15 picks, Li Liang on the opposite side has 56 picks!

In the second grade, both regular season vp and finals vp were alive.

Is there anything better way to prove yourself than to beat him in a head-on battle?

None, this is the best opportunity.

Leonard decided.

So after playing in the second quarter, Leonard got the ball, and the Spurs' smooth offensive cooperation in the position stopped, and he began to challenge Li Liang one-on-one.

Li Liang knew that it must be the autonomic malodorant that had the effect.

Li Liang was not polite and first used a death wrap to serve him, breaking the ball from Leonard's hand!

This kind of natural break was originally Leonard's unique skill, but Li Liang intercepted the ball!

Leonard was a little annoyed and chose to foul.

And the one who was even more annoyed was of course Vic. The old man was so angry that he cursed on the sidelines.

Li Liang was very happy, "The referee scolded people, blew him, blew him!"

Why are you excited if someone doesn't scold you?

Anyway, Li Liang was just very excited.

But then, Li Liang hit Leonard one-on-one on the offensive end.

Leonard contributed perfect defense, interfered with Li Liang's shots and did not make any attempts.

Leonard turned around and took the rebound and took the ball through half the court.

This time he didn't pass the ball to his teammates too much, and he was determined to play one on Li Liang.

He forced the ball to break through from the left, then drifted horizontally, made a mid-range jump shot, and made a two-pointer!

Although it seemed like it was a bit difficult, the ball was still in.

Kovich was even more angry. This was not the Spurs' offensive tactic at all.

On the contrary, Li Liang was not at the forefront. After completely attracting Leonard's defensive attention, Li Liang tore the Spurs' outside defense through a clever pass.

Chris Paul penetrated into the middle and made a last steady throw.

At this time, the offensive and defensive balances on both sides began to tilt.

Leonard is like being possessed by evil spirits. As long as the ball is in his hands, it will be difficult to get out, and he will probably force his attack.

Although some goals can be scored, you are not Kobe after all.

And there was no way to drive other players, the Spurs' offensive efficiency suddenly declined.
To be continued...
