On May 1, the first second round between the Clippers and the Spurs will be held at Staples Arena.

The Spurs ended the Hornets in the first round. The upcoming Western Conference semi-finals, the San Antonios will welcome their big enemy, the Los Angeles Clippers. Ji Guomo is trying to lead the team to win a good start at home, while the Spurs, led by Duncan, hope to give their opponents a warning in the first game, and they will strive to seize the home advantage.

In the past four years, this is the third time that the Spurs and the Clippers have met on the playoff stage. For the Spurs, the two encounters in the first three years are undoubtedly their unbearable memory. Since the 2007-2008 season, without exception, the Clippers have eliminated the Spurs in the playoffs, and there is also a painful Black Eight experience.

The confrontation between the two teams is a fate. When they encountered the Clippers in the playoffs, the Spurs were both disappointed, once the embarrassing Black Eight, and once the Western Conference Finals. The Spurs lost to the Clippers 1-4 and 2-4. In total, the Spurs only won three games on the Clippers' bow. What's more ironic is that the Clippers defeated the Spurs in these two times and finally won the championship.

I believe that Spurs fans have repeated this sentence countless times in the past few days: The giant pandas are gone, the Clippers are different now, we are going to win. But the people in front of us who wear red and white jerseys still beat the Spurs three times in the regular season and became the leaders of the West.

"I don't believe in curses, I don't feel cursed..." Duncan joked, but looking at his stone-like expression, you know that this Hall of Fame superstar attaches great importance to this game in his heart.

A player like Ji Guomeng is difficult to defend even when Duncan is at his peak. You can refer to Stoudemire back then. Duncan has no choice but to do anything to that guy, and now he is even more helpless with the dead fox.

Before another round of competition began, the Spurs placed their hopes on offense. Parker said that coach **Vic asked them to put all the past behind them. The first thing to do in this series is not defense, but offense. Ginobili also believes that the Clippers will still be the Clippers before: "Their style has not changed, but they have changed some members. There is no major change. But for us, we must do better offense. We have to play different games from before, and we have to change."

The Clippers dare not be careless. After losing the giant pandas this year, although the Clippers still look very strong, they can still see a lot of gap between them and last season in the competition with the strong teams. At least, old Dunleavy does not have the same feeling as if he is more than ten points behind and can still be as stable as Mount Tai on the sidelines.

Dunleavy, the old Clippers still can score. They average the first in the league in scoring and the second in the three-point shooting percentage. Everyone believes in the Clippers' offensive talent, so the key to the game is to defend well, block the Spurs' footsteps, and at the same time show their offensive talent.

The Clippers beat the Spurs three times in the regular season. The key to winning is smooth offensive operation. As long as they can fully firepower on the offensive end, it will be useless if the Spurs have any tricks.

On the day of the game, tickets for Staples Arena were hard to come by. Tens of thousands of fans who could not buy tickets gathered in the square outside the court. They watched the game in front of the Clippers' temporary large screen.

In recent seasons, the team has no need to worry about the attendance rate of Staples Arena. Boss Ballmer takes the lead in sitting on the sidelines in a cultural shirt. Stars of all sizes in Los Angeles are also dressed up like this. At least the Clippers are much better than Lakers fans in this regard.

Emma Watson didn't know what the hell was coming up with. Today, he ran to the front row and fought against Taylor Swift. The two happened to sit face to face.

As soon as Taylor Swift saw Emma Watson on the other side of the court, he felt very angry, but he still held her fake breasts up, which probably meant: Little bitch, aunt is older than you.

Little Hermione didn't care, and her mouth curled up, and her acting skills came out all of a sudden. Needless to say, everyone knows what she means, and seemed to be saying: Big is big, but that's fake!

"It's not great, it's such a good thing!" Ji Guomori saw the malicious close-up shot in the live broadcast in the locker room, and sighed in his heart: "Isn't it just that I haven't been to the British girl to remove the sign for three days? The stinky girls are watching it tightly. What can I do? I can't knock her out."

"We scored first in the league. We need to do a good job of defense. Today we should pay attention to Ginobili. You all know how deadly Manu is. He can almost carry the team on his shoulder to defeat us. His power in the regular season is not reflected, and we cannot underestimate him."

Dunleavy, the old Dunleavy emphasized to his players that Ginobili, who has not had a strong presence this year, was not very worried about Randolph. Dunleavy, the old Dunleavy, felt that O'Neal should be able to defend the basket, and Randolph's strength advantage may not have much effect against the Sharks.

Before the game, O'Neal also boasted about his teammates, saying that he would deal with the fat man and let him know what the Shaq card diesel engine is.

Ji Guomeng secretly complained in his heart that you are not even able to do your legs and feet, and you are so damn big diesel engines.

Even so, it is a diesel engine produced in India.

Ji Guomeng was not optimistic about O'Neal at all. Although Fatty Lan on the opposite side was not flexible, he was at least agile than O'Neal. Didn't the little shark be completely abused by Randolph in the first round? You, a 39-year-old shark, may not be able to get it well.

Old Dunleavy emphasized today's precautions in the locker room at the end. Seeing that the time was almost over, he ordered the team to play.

The personal ceremony of stars before the NBA game has always been a favorite part of fans when watching the live broadcast.

Ji Guomo's big backflips that he likes to perform during the season are among the best. However, the insurance company later said that if the dead fox plays like this, if he is injured and does not pay for the money, Ji Guomo slowly reduces this performance and weakens it, changing it from a flip on the technical stage to a flip in place.

This is just his excuse. In fact, Ji Guomomoto took it as a warning when he saw Garnett's struggle after he was old and consciously protected his knees. He only held a large-sized somersault appearance ceremony this season. Today, when he saw the little singer and little Hermione gather together, he didn't even dare to do a small somersault. He honestly warmed up on the sidelines. He was even more low-key than Yao Ming.

"Don't let them go to the penalty area!" After the Spurs appeared, **Vic deliberately approached Ji Guomo and shouted loudly to the Spurs players, which attracted the little fox to look here.

Ji Guomomiya didn't know what **Vicci was thinking. He laughed secretly on the court, thinking that with you old men, can you still stop me?

"You can't say that black fat man is so bad, you'd better be careful." Ji Guoqiu was far away in New York. While Roberts was dubbing "Angry Birds", he ran to Kristen's apartment to watch the game with the little vampire and the super murderer. He looked very happy.

However, this is not the case. The giant panda looked at the two girls who were snuggling together, which was really painful. He regretted introducing them to each other and couldn't help but shout in his heart: "It doesn't matter if you grind tofu together, but please bring me one!"

Ji Guomori cursed "I deserve it". He has been jealous of the dead panda for a long time. Who doesn't want the lolita like the shredded radish and the super-killed girl? But Ji Guomori just can't understand why these loli girls like the damn panda? The only answer is that they are too naive. They were deceived by the dead panda's blackness and did not see his dark heart.

"gg, lure r**ingnoob!" Ginobili said with a smile in Ji Guomo's ear before the start of the game. Virtue deserves a beating!

Ji Guomo's face turned dark when he heard this. A few days ago, he remained unchanged. Although he could not find a partner who was willing to form a black room with him, he still went to live broadcast a lol alone, and naturally he was criticized again. At that time, there was a bastard who kept copying "**noob" to scold him, which made many enemies who watched his live broadcast laugh. Argentine bald man must have watched the live broadcast.

"Ifcku touches thersb, gunbackhomed Japanese fans." Ji Guomo was a little angry. He said this series of Chinese-English continuous cannons. Ginobili was stunned at the time. He stood there for a long time, but in the end he couldn't figure out what it meant.

The five starting players of the Clippers in this game are: Chauncey Billups, Ray Allen, Iguodala, Ji Guomeng, Shaq O'Neal.

The Spurs sent: Tony Parker, Ginobili, Travis Otlow, Zach Randolph, Tim Duncan.

This season, the Spurs have obvious flaws in the small forward position. Travis was originally athletic and introverted. He was a rare black man without tattoos in the league. It is said that his monthly expenses remain below 3,000 US dollars every year. This is the player who is most popular with **Vic.

Unfortunately, Travis accumulated injuries in the cursed city of Portland. After coming to the Spurs, he started to have an attack. This season, his minor injuries continued to decline, and his defense and offense were down to a higher level, which made **Vic secretly shouted that he was deceived.

The Spurs' substitute No. 3 is the double-energy peak Rinas Kreza. This Lithuanian star has achieved value during his time in Denver, but after coming to the Spurs, he has the same problems as Travis, and has been in constant injuries. He has only played 30 games this season, which also made **Vic cried out to be fooled.

After the game started, the Spurs' inside combination was obviously misplaced on the defensive end. Of course, Duncan would not carry O'Neal. Shifo could never withstand this big shark. This task could only be handled by the fat man Randolph.

O'Neal asked for the ball from the low post as soon as he came up, trying to attack Randolph and proving that he was not old yet.

Billups did not pass the ball directly into the inside, but first passed the basketball to Ji Guomeng on the wing.

After the little fox got the basketball, he was very satisfied. This was the privilege of the team's elder brother. No matter who attacked, the basketball must be passed in his hands. Although he would be scolded by bullshit experts as a ball dominant, Ji Guomomiya never cared about these things. He didn't care about being a ball dominant at all, he was the ball dominant!

O'Neal asked for a long time at the low post and finally got the basketball from Ji Guomeng.

The Spurs players did not come up to double-team. Billups, Ray Allen and Ji Guomo were standing outside the three-point line, and there were very few teams who dared to double-team the Clippers inside, unless they were killed.

The battle between Randolph and O'Neal was purely a struggle between muscles and strength. If it were ten years ago, Randolph would definitely not be able to stop the big shark, but now O'Neal cannot use his power to break into the paint area. After squeezing back for a long time, what was waiting for was the referee's violation whistle - O'Neal was on his back for five seconds to violate the rules.

When Charles Barkley saw this scene in the commentary seat, he immediately smiled and leaned back and forth. He was most willing to watch this scene.

Kenny Smith said at the right time: "Barkley has the strongest buttocks in league history. When he attacks with the ball, almost no defensive players can withstand the continuous attacks of the "Sir Charles Jazz" buttocks. So the "Barkley Rule" came into being. The official name of this rule is called the "5-second rule for back-on singles", which means that the player can play back-on singles for back-on singles for more than 5 seconds. From then on, Barkley can no longer use 24 seconds to arch the defenders step by step to the basket, and then easily score."

When Barkley saw O'Neal making a fool of himself on the court, he felt secretly happy. What made him even more happy was the words Kenny Smith said before. But after all, how could he have seen such an embarrassing shark before? This is the end of not accepting old age, and you can't help but refuse.

The Spurs have distinctive characteristics on the offensive end. The players' running movements are all routines. It is rare to see the ball holder pulling them over. However, Ji Guomo often does this. No matter where his teammates are, he likes to dribble away from the opponent and shoot directly or hit the basket to the basket. It is both simple and unreasonable. The most important thing is to be able to swipe data.

In addition to his reduced athletic ability, Travis also made him unsatisfied with the fact that this kid's basketball IQ was a little bit inferior. He couldn't play too deep routines on the court, which was reflected in his running routes being relatively simple, and they were all fixed routes, which were easily seen through by his opponents.

**Vicci cannot force Travis to do things beyond his ability. This is limited by his ability, so he can only set a few fixed routes for him. In this way, all tactics initiated from him will appear stiff and unchanged when executed, but they are always better than none.

**What Vicci loves to watch now is the Nets' game. The spiritual cooperation of Ji Guoqiu and Nash is really pleasing to the eye in his eyes.

The Nets are now a strange team. They have no specific routines at all. This team often only has tactical purposes and does not have the most important tactical steps. How to implement a tactic depends on the players' adaptability, but **Vic believes that this is the highest level of basketball.

Although the Spurs' off-ball running and positioning screens are a bit blocked at Travis, the remaining four people are enough to make it difficult for the opponent to guard against. At worst, they can only launch tactics from Travis.

In the first quarter, as the Los Angeles Times said, the main way the Spurs defeated the enemy was to position the shooting, and most of the shooting was to create good shooting opportunities under the complex cover of the Spurs.

The Los Angeles Times did not mention the defensive flaws of the Clippers. This season, the Clippers ranked among the top in single defense, but the assisted defense and joint defense are no longer as unbreakable as before. This Clippers have become a team that tends to be single defense, and have been playing against people this year.

The five starting players of the Clippers have all the skills to practice horizontally: Jordan and O'Neal can defend the penalty area with high defense; Iguodala's confrontation is enough to defend superstars like James; not to mention Ji Guomo, there are no players he can't defend at the third and fourth positions, provided that he wants to do so; Billups and Ray Allen have also been proven that their defense is higher than the league average, one is good at defending with technology, and the other is rarely at a loss when he fights head-on.

Because the defending champion's single defense ability is too balanced, opponents often have no idea of ​​defeating the team one-on-one from the beginning. They usually turn to pick-and-roll and off-ball screens to find opportunities, which is exactly the area the Spurs are best at.

The Clippers fans in Staples Staples' arena soon discovered that they always beat the Spurs on the defensive end; the Clippers players on the field found that they were always blocked by their opponent's cover, allowing their opponents to get a moment of empty space and out of their mobile phones.
