Chapter 959

May [-]nd.

The focus of the entire league is on the Spurs and Clippers.

The first round of the match was played until May, and there was only a tie-break between them in the league.

The ratings of this game are very high, and in the online survey, their game has attracted the attention of fans.

The focus of attention is also very clear. One is whether the defending champion Spurs can advance to the next round, and the other is whether the Clippers can get past the Spurs.

Such a clear point of view made it even more rare for Las Vegas to open a plate.

The Spurs' odds are slim, and the Clippers' odds are somewhat higher.

This can be seen.

How big is the influence of this tiebreaker.

As for Qin Tao and his players who have already finished playing, they will not let this game go.

Even if the competition area they are in seems to have nothing to do with them for the time being, it is still very worthwhile to appreciate such a game.

That night.

A large number of fans gathered in the Staples Arena, and the stars in the front row were shining, and finally they were not inferior to the Lakers.

Simultaneously.

Some players who were supposed to go on vacation did not go out immediately, but gathered in the arena to watch the game live.

soon.

Players from both sides came out of the player channel one after another, and the scene immediately burst into cheers.

But when the stadium camera shot was shown to the stands, the seemingly cheering side, but because of the worries on the faces of some fans, made the game a layer of dignity.

Because of the completely different perception and gap between this season and last season, their mood is very complicated and depressing.

They never thought that the Spurs would actually tie the tie with others. This kind of situation should have appeared in the semifinals and finals, but they didn't expect it to happen in the first round.

As for the mood and feelings of the players on both sides at this time, it is rare to become serious.

Especially the Spurs here.

The flat temperament they have always maintained, this game finally became different, the players looked too serious.

Especially the team's Big Three and Popovich.

They seem to have a heavy burden on their shoulders, which makes them somewhat preoccupied.

But this feeling quickly disappeared.

Because the Spurs players, as well as Popovich and his coaching staff, have experienced countless storms, and they just felt it.

As for the reactions of the others, without their composure, some small actions betrayed them.

And the Clippers are not much better.

They are ambitious, and even recruited troops before the start of this season, in order to completely break the previous deadlock.

But I never thought that they would fight the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs. It has to be said that their luck is a bit out of luck.

If it were another team, they might have been promoted a long time ago, and they are still very uncomfortable playing now.

But from another perspective, this is not a very strong test stone.

As long as they break the hard bone of the Spurs, if they enter the next round, how confident they are.

so.

The pressure on them is great, but as long as they get through it, it will be a transformation for them!

at the same time.

Qin Tao and the others, who were sitting in front of the TV, were in the same mood and thoughts at this time.

And because they are both professional players, they understand the mood of the players of the two teams very well.

They unconsciously became serious, and they even kept their voices very low when communicating.

at last.

With the end of the warm-up and appearance ceremony, the starting players of both sides began to appear on the field one after another.

have to say.

The NBA's treatment of this game is really not low, and they actually sent two referees who are destined to enter the Hall of Fame.

The presence of Joe Crawford and Ken Moore on the court at the same time made another element of the game very rigorous and orderly.

As for the starting players of both sides, there is basically no need to say much.

Splitter, Duncan, Leonard, Parker and Green are the starters for the Spurs.

Jordan, Griffin, Barnes, Redick and Paul are the starters for the Clippers.

In the league, apart from Qin Tao, who is a jumper, Jordan is also a fierce player.

As for Split's floor flow, don't even think about it, so the Clippers own the ball.

Paul has the ball.

The Clippers came forward with a slightly faster tempo, forcing the Spurs to increase their speed.

The Spurs' defensive strategy is still very clear, which is to restrain Griffin on the inside and Paul on the outside.

As for Jordan, Barnes, and Redick, I am afraid that Redick is the biggest threat, but they are guarded by Green.

attack!

The Clippers' tactics are very clear, which is to combine inside and outside.

First, Jordan came up to play a pick-and-roll with Paul, but because Splitter's footsteps were heavy and the degree of confrontation was quite tough, their pick-and-roll tactics were not played out.

Then came Griffin's second tactic.

This time the effect was very good, making Duncan beaten by Paul in the first place.

Simultaneously.

Griffin quickly cut inside against Parker and got into position neatly.

pass the ball.

Paul's transfer was very fast, and handing it over to Griffin opened up space.

Head-ups have never been a problem for Griffin.

Especially now that he is facing Parker, in the face of a big dislocation, he will never make a mistake no matter what.

He only needs to worry about other people's double-teaming, or Parker's quick hands.

So his singles was very efficient, and he got a very good time, and he just turned his back and started.

Parker couldn't stand up to Griffin anyway, so he was using his little tricks to create some trouble for Griffin.

But he somewhat backfired, Griffin would not give him a chance, suddenly turned around and rushed to the inside.

bang.

The Griffin-style flying dunk immediately made the fans cheer.

Because the Spurs players were pulled away by the Clippers, no one of them went to help defend immediately.

When it's the Spurs' turn to attack, their style of play should be much more stable.

Duncan, who is relying on the inside, is still full of threats, and they will give him the first time to play, but no one will doubt that Leonard, who is outside, will not make a shot.

really.

When Duncan singled out Griffin and suddenly made his signature turn, the Clippers' defense subconsciously shrunk.

According to Duncan's rhythm, he would turn around and wipe the board for this ball, but when he took the shot, he handed it to Leonard immediately.

Mid-range and long-range shots will never be difficult for Leonard, and he will take them with confidence.

Thereafter.

Throughout the first quarter, the two sides actually played weak defenses, and they all put their experience on offense.

On the field.

Even though the Clippers have been suppressed by the Spurs, they really like this rhythm, so there is not much psychological pressure.

After the first quarter, the Spurs temporarily led the Clippers by one point with a score of 30:29.
