Chapter 725 A piece of chewing gum

Billups suffered from the Spurs' key defense, and Ji Guomo has a lot of singles opportunities.

This time he faced Duncan's defense, and there was no problem choosing to break through. Unfortunately, he and his teammates had bad touches. The only excellent touch was Billups, who was surrounded by the Spurs, which made the Clippers' scoring efficiency unable to improve.

Although Ji Guomeng felt bad, he still got some free throws through breakthroughs and occasionally scored one or two goals, and his personal data has been increasing.

Seeing this, Popovich sat on the bench safely. What he was afraid of was that the Clippers made efficient conversion attacks. The offensive scoring speed was too terrible, and even if he was 20 points ahead, it was not safe. However, what he was most afraid of was that the Clippers used their personal offense to chase points, even if this person was the scoring leader.

The Spurs' old coach is very clear. With Ji Guomeng's scoring speed, he is not worried that the Clippers can catch up with the lagging score difference of nearly 20 points. Now as long as Ji Guomeng does not hit three-pointers in a row, he does not intend to make any changes. Even if the fox gets a 40+ or ​​50+, it is nothing compared to victory.

Ji Guomo was finally out of the game today. In the fourth quarter, his personal data was getting better and better, but he was unable to score continuously to narrow the score difference. The Clippers could not make attack waves, and their score chasing speed was like a snail.

The Spurs' defense line continued to relax the middle distance in the fourth quarter, with the main defense zone and three-point line.

Popovich has been giving mid-range shots to the Clippers today. Didn’t the Los Angeles Times say that the Clippers have turned the attacking area into the inside and outside the three-point line this year? That just happened to be the right way to let go of the mid-range and defend the offensive area that the Clippers are good at.

This targeted defense is also the reason why Ji Guomeng couldn't feel hot today. This season he rarely trained in the middle distance. Today's high-level shooting rate is very low. There are Duncan and Randolph in the interior, so the only way is to try to shoot a three-pointer.

The Spurs have many loopholes in their defense of the Clippers' three-pointers, but Ray Allen's touch is not good today, and Billups is focused on defense again. Only Ji Guomo is the only one left on the outside, but his three-pointers feel very average today.

The fourth quarter was 5 minutes and 40 seconds, with a score of 72:90.

When Dunleavy saw Ji Guomeng missing three consecutive three-pointers, he simply replaced Iguodala with McGrady. The latter's three-pointer was extremely unreliable. The team now needs to chase points. No matter how good the defense is, it is useless not to score.

McGrady became the Clippers' surprise today. Travis couldn't defend McGrady. Although the 32-year-old former Clippers' former star has reduced his athletic ability, his skills and experience are still there. He first made a foul and almost scored a three-pointer against Travis, and then attracted double-teams to assist Ji Guomeng's aerial relay dunk, which really turned into two plus one.

Popovich started chewing gum again. The Spurs also offered McGrady a veteran contract in the summer. They were too impressed by this sleepy bug back then. As a result, the Spurs were naturally despised. Their thighs were no longer thick and they could not compete with the Clippers.

Today's game originally made Popovich very happy, and made you look down on the Spurs. How about now?

But not long after being happy, McGrady got excited as soon as she hit the Spurs, which made them a little embarrassed in the second quarter. Now this guy with half an eyelid seems to want to do something bad?

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Spurs quickly called for a timeout to prepare to cool down McGrady's touch.

Popovich did not make too many arrangements. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he had no manpower. He could not defend Billups heavily, but he had to take care of McGrady again, right? Isn't that Fox brother no one defended?

Ji Guomeng has now scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, which shows that he has been scoring all the time.

Popovich is now a little worried that superstars like this often break out at the last moment of the game. If Ji Guomo is allowed to pop up from the pit, the blow against the Spurs is not as simple as losing a away game.

The live broadcast footage finally left the two heroines and was given to this balloon star.

McGrady's expression in the camera is very serious, and he seems to really want to do something.

The large screen on the scene released McGrady's miracle of 35.13 seconds that year. Led by the on-site commentator, the Los Angeles fans in the stadium neatly shouted "mgradytime", which is "Meddy's Moment".

When Popovich and the Spurs heard the sound, they turned their heads to the big screen. The scenes played on it and the shouts of fans on the scene made the four people look ugly. This is the biggest shame in the history of the Spurs!

Popovich was so angry that he threw a piece of chewing gum into his mouth. I wonder if he could chew it over?

Ji Guomo looked at the time. He didn't dare to play with fire anymore. Seeing that McGrady was in such a good state, after the game started again, he first used the breakthrough to attract defense, and then immediately passed the basketball to McGrady, using himself as bait to create a one-on-one opportunity for McGrady.

McGrady is only 32 years old this year. He doesn't feel that he is old at all. Kobe, who was once beautiful with him, is still at the peak, but he is regarded as a cancer by the entire league and can only come to the championship team with the basic salary of a veteran. While enduring the decline in status, he is still mocked and hugged. How can he be willing?

Today is an excellent opportunity to prove yourself. How many points are the Clippers behind now?

The answer is: 13 points.

When McGrady received the pass, O'Neal had already pulled it out in advance. The two of them cooperated with a textbook pick-and-roll. McGrady got an open shot outside the three-point line, and all the fans saw the pair of ecstasy calves and the picturesque shooting posture.

"Swish!" The basketball fell into the basket hollow, and McGrady scored the 13th point today, which was the lucky number for him.

Popovich was extremely dissatisfied with Travis' easy loss of position. He stepped into the court with one foot, opened his mouth and wanted to spit on Travis, but he forgot that he had three pieces of chewing gum stuffed into his mouth. In a hurry, he didn't hold it in his mouth and spit a large ball of white glue on the court.

"Mr. Referee, he spits everywhere!" Ji Guomeng happened to see Popovich's embarrassing appearance, and immediately jumped up and pointed at Popovich and shouted with a smile on his face.

The referee on duty was also amused and crying. The coach spitted chewing gum onto the court. This was the first time he had seen such a thing.

NBA has rules. The coach will take technical fouls when entering the field during the game, but the referee will not be so serious.

Popovich likes to put half of his body into the court to command the team, and most referees turn a blind eye.

But now that the gum is spit on the court, the referee can no longer ignore it, regardless of whether it is intentional or not.

"Dou!" Popovich was busy picking up the gum, but he still ate the referee's technical foul, which made him so angry that he wanted to throw the gum into the referee's face again.

The fans watching this game were all laughing. Popovich was repeatedly playing the big screen and TV on the scene, squatting down to pick up chewing gum. This was a rare scene.

What made the fans even more amused was that the stickiness of this piece of chewing gum was too strong, and a large ball stuck to the floor and couldn't be picked up.

Popovich quickly got his hands full of sticky glue, like Spider-Man.

Ji Guomeng was so happy that his stomach hurt on the court, and he squatted on the ground with his stomach covered.

Duncan covered his face on the court, but the camera still caught him laughing. It was rare for Shifo to show such an expression during the game.

"Stop laughing, this is a delaying strategy, you are all fooled." Ji Guoqiu's dark mind did not think it was an accident. He thought it was an accident deliberately created by Popovich, with the purpose of disrupting McGrady's touch. What the Spurs feared most was that McGrady was fucking. It was time for Popovich to use this delaying strategy.

"Damn, you're thinking too much, are you?" Ji Guomori didn't have that big idea. He felt that the dead panda must have thought too much.

Regardless of whether Popovich did it on purpose or not, the accident caused the game to be suspended for five minutes.

By the way, this piece of chewing gum is really hard to clean. The staff at Staples Arena tinkered on the floor for a long time before finally cleaning the chewing gum.

Ji Guomom hit a free throw for the Clippers, but in the next attack, McGrady's touch was cold for too long. Two shots went out of the basket, which made Popovich on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief.

"Damn, it wasn't really intentional, right?" Ji Guomomiya began to doubt, although he just felt that Popovich would definitely not pay the price of a free throw and an attack for some bullshit. Maybe the difference will turn into 5 points, which is really a slaughter.

But this accident really benefited the Spurs. Ginobili was invisible most of today, but he was like an assassin. He would always jump out and make a big shot at critical moments, making the Clippers frustrated.

In the last 4 minutes of the game, the score difference was narrowed by the Clippers to 9 points. Manu stepped forward again, and the inside and outside blossomed to widen the score difference to 14 points.

McGrady's touch was gone, and Ji Guomeng continued to attack with the ball at the last moment. This time he finally played the role of the team as the core, scoring 6 points in a row to help the Clippers hold on to the score.

But just letting the score stalemate will not let the Clippers win. Ji Guohuo's outbreak came too late, but Ginobili's outbreak came very timely. The dead fox already knew in his heart that he was going to fall today.

Old Dunleavy called for a timeout, but still could not defend the Spurs' offense.

Ginobili had just finished his ultimate move, and Parker caused Ji Guohu and O'Neal to foul, and French sports car made consecutive free throws to fill in four more points for the Spurs.

After such a delay in the game time, we walked to the last two minutes without realizing it. The score was still 88:99, and the Spurs firmly maintained the score difference at about ten.

The Spurs reused their defensive forces to deal with Ji Guohumi, and the Fox brother did not explode again. The final score was 93:102, and the Clippers lost the game by 9 points.

Ji Guomeng played for 42 minutes in this game, scoring 44 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. His data is still dazzling, but unfortunately he lost his victory.
