The invincible kryptonite of basketball

To paraphrase the classic lines in American movies, God is on their side tonight.

Throughout the game, the Clippers shot 70% from the field. They scored 100 points in three quarters, leading the Spurs by as much as 20 points.

And finally beat the Spurs 125 to 105, tying the score to 1 to 3.

After the game, Griffin and Paul attended the team's press conference with all smiles on their faces.

"We played very well tonight, moving the ball, passing and cutting, shooting, basically how to play, that's the true performance of this team."

Paul gave a very high evaluation of the team's performance after the game.

"We have all been under too much psychological pressure in the past. Tonight we let it go. We found the right way to win. This will be a very good start."

Griffin finally felt elated.

"Keep this pace, we have a great chance to win the series, we have a chance to make history."

Jordan also showed absolute confidence.

"Chauncey came to the game for the first time tonight. I told him a long time ago that we can win the game with him on the court. This is the case in the regular season and the playoffs. I have already told him that, He's going to San Antonio with us for the next game."

Paul was in a good mood, and at the end he joked with the reporters, which caused the reporters in the audience to laugh.

After four games, 3 to 1.

Although they lost a lot in the last game, the Spurs players did not show any frustration.

Opponents are shooting 70% of the time, and it's in the playoffs, which is very rare.

The possibility of the Clippers playing this kind of game again is too low.

Back in San Antonio, the Spurs went through routine shooting routines.

After training, the players sat in the locker room to rest and chat.

"These guys..." Green moved up to Tang Tian with his mobile phone.

Tang Tian looked at it, and it was the news interviewed by the Clippers after the game.

After reading it, he probably knew why Green had such a reaction.

This won a game by relying on the accurate shooting rate. The three brothers of the Clippers are going to heaven!

How do you fight?

Found a way to win?

Maker of history?

Is it because there is no compulsion in mind, or is it forced to pretend to be compulsive?

Then he won't be beaten 3-0 if he is so fierce.

"Do you think this Clippers team is annoying?" Tang Tian returned the phone to Green, and then said.

Green thought for a moment, then nodded.

Not to mention, I really feel this way, and he also has a few friends in the NBA, who seem to have made similar complaints.

"Is it weird?" Green said and looked at Tang Tian.

"It's actually not surprising at all. When a team likes to complain about referees when they lose, and starts to be arrogant when they win, and feels invincible, you don't think they are annoying."

Tang Tian complained.

"Who hasn't lost? Who hasn't won!"

After Tang Tian finished speaking, even Duncan who was sitting in the distance nodded silently.

It seems that this is really what everyone thinks.

249+ ten chapters beat their shit out! (two in one chapter)

After a while, Budenholzer, the team's first assistant, came in.

Compared with Popovich, who has a lot of emotional ups and downs in sunny days and rainy days, Budenholzer is gentle and refined, which is completely another extreme.

"Greg is in a bad mood today, you guys don't have nothing to do to hit the gun."

After Budenholzer came in, he reminded him.

The team members showed doubts on their faces, but they all nodded one after another.

Popovich came in after a while.

Like Budenholzer said, his face was sullen and ugly, like everyone owed him $500.

"The next game is very important. You guys better not give me anything wrong on the court. If I make a mistake, sit on the bench for me!"

He also talked about some tactical details. This time, he didn't change to a smiling face at the end, and left with a sullen face.

When he left, the players looked at each other in blank dismay. Popovich's state is really unusual.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile.

It seems that Popovich also saw the news of Paul's post-match interview, and he should also be angry.

Even though his actual age is over 60, his inner age is sometimes very young.

The Lakers lost the Thunder 100-103 at home in the fourth game, and the big score became 1-3.

Both Los Angeles teams started the game with such big scores.

This time they are not looking at who can win the next game, but who can stay strong for a while.

Both the Spurs and Clippers have practice sessions on game day, but there are some nuances between the two teams.

The Spurs' training is closed and closed to the media, while the Clippers are open to the outside world.

Under the lens of the media, the Clippers players smiled from time to time and looked quite relaxed.

They really, as Griffin said before, have completely let go of their psychological baggage.

The attendance rate of the ATT arena that night was full, and the fans filled the old arena to the brim.

Among the logos held in the hands of the audience, in addition to those that can be seen normally, there are some more eye-catching ones.

"Teach them a lesson!"

"Shut them up!"

"Let them go fishing tonight!"

……

This group of Buddhist fans in San Antonio has become so excited.

The only possible reason for this is the interview with Paul and Griffin after the game. It seems that this incident has aroused public outrage.

"Kenny, I have a strong feeling that tonight's game will be a little different than usual."

The commentator for this game is Barkley, Kenny Smith, and O'Neal, the Big Three. Before the game started, Barkley couldn't help but speak.

"It comes from your unique sixth sense again?" Smith smiled and looked at Barkley.

"No, look at the expressions of the Spurs players." Barkley said, looking at the Spurs bench.

Smith looked back, and then saw what Barkley was talking about.

The expressions of the entire Spurs team are very serious, which is the first time I have seen this year.

Looks like tonight's game will indeed be a little different.

This seriousness even spread to the opening ceremony.

When the Spurs starters came on the court, their expressions were cold, as if infected by Duncan and Leonard.

The fans at the scene became more excited when they saw the reaction of the players.

If the remarks of Paul and Griffin are upgraded, they can be regarded as provocations, and the Spurs should also respond.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

Neither side has adjusted the starting lineup.

Duncan and Jordan's jump ball.

When the whistle blew from the sidelines, Duncan reacted extremely quickly this time. He even dialed the ball back to the Spurs' half court before Jordan.

He even won the jump!

First time in the series!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, this is a very strong signal!

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, an AI hammer tactic, Leonard's open three-pointer missed.

But Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound toughly and dunked the ball into the basket directly across Jordan.

The fans were stunned.

What. The. Fxck!

This is the 35-year-old Duncan? !

25 of it!

Little Jordan was stunned. He had never played against Duncan at his peak, but after playing so many games, it was the first time he felt powerless.

Budenholzer's eyes widened at this time.

Duncan really can't treat it according to common sense. When Popovich gets angry, he also enters the mode of going back in time?

In the Clippers' offense, Paul and Griffin cooperated, and Griffin turned sharply and ran over Dior's rebound to the basket.

"boom!"

As soon as the ball was shot, Duncan slapped it and flew it out of the field.

"Tim~ Duncan!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the live DJ, the fans at the scene trembled from the depths of their souls.

This offense and defense, Duncan wet them!

This year, Duncan is 35 and will soon be 36. His beard is starting to turn gray, but just now, he directly ruled the penalty area with his offense and defense!

"Do you know? This guy used to play games like this every day."

O'Neill said with memories in his eyes at this time.

O'Neal has a high vision, and there are not many big men who can be recognized by him, and Duncan is one of them.

Saying this sentence is not only a recognition of Duncan, but also a feeling.

To know Duncan's words, he has already secured the position of the number one power forward in history.

Tang Tian was probably the one with the most balanced mentality at this time.

In fact, Duncan seldom relied on his body even when he played at his peak, and his strength in this style of play declined very slowly.

In addition to the physical problems caused by age, if he fights with all his strength, he still has [-]% to [-]% of his peak strength at this time.

In the regular season, including the games before the playoffs, Duncan basically kept playing.

But when Popovich got angry, his old subordinate couldn't help it.

No. 21 rookie!

The Clippers sent a sideline ball, and Paul's mid-range fallback was interfered by Duncan's long arm, and he almost made a three-point shot.

Diaw received the defensive rebound and Parker took the ball to the frontcourt.

At this time, Duncan leaned against Jordan and directly asked for the ball in the low post!

Tonight's "Stone Buddha" is really different!

Parker signaled his teammates to pull away, and then gave the ball in.

After Duncan received the ball, he hit Jordan with his back, and after turning around to the free throw line to deceive Jordan, he turned back and made a signature hit.

"boom!"
