After the extra penalty hit, the Spurs once again opened the point difference to 21 points.
"Shaq, you're poisonous," Barkley said with a laugh.
Kenny Smith laughed too.
O'Neal inadvertently said what Griffin said in an interview after the last game: This is a good start.
As a result, Griffin turned around and was beaten 2+1.
O'Neill was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and then he jumped forward and back with a smile.
Paul's mid-range emergency stop in the frontcourt made a fallback and Tang Tian came back to catch Dior's pass from the outside and scored a three-pointer.
Butler's pass to Griffin was intercepted by Leonard, and Ginobili's breakthrough layup caused Williams to pull people.
After making two free throws, the point difference has come to 24 points.
Paul looked up at the scorer with helplessness in his eyes.
How did the Clippers play in the last game?
His personal scoring is also a drop in the bucket.
After halftime, the score on the court was 62 to 35, and the Spurs led by a full 27 points.
The faces of the fans on the sidelines were almost bursting with laughter. This was the biggest point difference between the two teams at halftime.
The Clippers are not weak, and the Spurs are really playing well.
"It's okay, we still have a chance, you know? I have experienced this kind of situation before, but react well, the game still has a chance."
In the Clippers locker room, it was Billups who stood up to speak at this time.
The former Finals MVP, as Paul joked, really came to San Antonio.
"Start from defense, as long as they limit their scoring, we still have a chance, come on."
Billups held out his hand.
The Clippers players also stretched out their hands one after another.
"Believe in yourselves, come on."
"come on!"
Billups' encouragement is obvious.
The Clippers players were all frustrated when they first entered the locker room, but at least now they have energy on their faces.
Back from the halftime break, players from both sides returned to the field.
The Clippers took the lead in the second half.
After Paul and Griffin picked and rolled in the frontcourt, he hit a signature mid-range fadeaway.
Billups stood up from the bench to applaud the team.
Among the words of the Clippers interview after the game, only Paul joked that Billups' words were true.
When Billups is on the court, the Clippers have a higher winning percentage regardless of whether they play or not.
This is not some metaphysics, but encouragement like the locker room is sometimes very useful. This is a typical mental attribute player.
Paul scored a goal, and looking back, the Clippers successfully defended another wave of offense from the Spurs.
Billups stood up and applauded again. With this offense and defense, the Clippers obviously improved.
If it goes on like this, even if it doesn't come back, it's worth it.
Losing is not terrible, what is afraid is that you lose too much, and if you lose, you will doubt your life.
The current momentum of the Clippers probably won't be like that.
Paul looked for Griffin this time, and Griffin hit Dior with his back, and turned around to try to force him.
"Snapped!"
At this time, Tang Tian suddenly helped defend and slapped the ball away from his hand.
The Spurs quickly played a defensive counterattack. Parker rushed to the frontcourt one by one. Facing Foye's defense, he turned around and scored a layup with a signature top.
Still an 24 point difference.
Whistles rang out everywhere.
Tang Tian's steal was crucial.
Paul held the ball and then went to the frontcourt to signal the rhythm.
Griffin's pick-and-roll was squeezed by Diaw and had no chance. Foye used to do the outside pick-and-roll at this time.
Paul turned and prepared to dribble.
At this time, Tang Tian used the cover of Foye's body to attack suddenly, and suddenly broke the ball in Paul's hand.
Consecutive steals!
This time, after he made the steal, he went down by himself. When he got to the frontcourt and saw that Paul was chasing him closely, he took off early and dunked.
Paul gave a tug and didn't pull it off.
"boom!"
Tang Tian made a dunk, and Paul was called a pulling foul!
"It's over!" O'Neal said, patting the table.
"These two steals are critical, almost extinguishing the last hope of the Clippers counterattack." Kenny Smith said.
It is indeed very important. Billups stood on the sidelines at this time and didn't know what to say.
The momentum that had finally gained momentum was immediately extinguished with two steals.
Tang Tian's extra penalty hit, the point difference reached 30 points for the first time.
Foye catches the ball and makes a three-pointer. Parker is not in a hurry after getting the ball. When he reaches the frontcourt, Duncan easily shakes Jordan off the inside and hits the board to score.
The tone that the Clippers brought back at halftime has obviously disappeared, and the defensive intensity has returned.
At the end of the three quarters, the point difference went directly to 40.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Paul and Griffin covered their heads with towels and stared blankly at the field.
43 points, 45 points, 48 points...
When the substitute players of both sides played, the points were slightly widened.
By the time there were 5 minutes left in the game, the point difference had reached 50 points!
But Popovich did not play on the bench, and still played with substitute players.
De Nagro is also like a discouraged ball, and he also forgot to replace the substitute player.
The fans at the scene couldn't be happier at this time, this is the playoffs!There was a difference of more than 50 points!
This game is really going to be recorded in the history books!
Green's chasing three-pointer made another 53 points.
Martin's offense elbowed Blair and was called a technical foul.
Blair made two free throws and scored 55 points.
Williams made a three-pointer from the outside, 52 points.
Ginobili immediately hit a super long three-pointer from beyond the three-point line and returned the color, 55 points.
The two teams fought each other.
On the last attack of the Spurs, Splitter also threw in a three-pointer from the top of the arc!
With Williams missing the last ultra-long three-pointer, the score on the court was finally fixed at 129 to 71.
The Spurs beat the Clippers by 58 points at home, thereby eliminating their opponents with a total score of 4-1 and advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

58 again!
When the final whistle sounded, there were thunderous cheers and whistles.
But at this time, it was the two people who had the ugliest expressions.
One is Paul and the other is Billups.
In 2009, in the third game of the first round between the Nuggets and the Hornets, the Nuggets beat the Hornets 121 to 63 at home.
At that time, Billups played for the Nuggets, while Paul played for the Hornets.
That game has also become a label that cannot be erased from Paul.
But no one thought that Billups and Paul became teammates with the passage of time, but now they were slaughtered by another team for 58 points!
Paul left early without even attending the handshake ceremony.
Billups looked a little depressed at this time, he felt that he... came to pay off the debt?
On the other side of the court, the serious expression on Popovich's face finally disappeared.
What he hates the most is other people swearing in front of him.
He's a coach, there's no way he's going to jump in front of an opponent and slap them or start a spat.
But it's much more refreshing to press others on the ground and rub them hard.
"No training tomorrow."
Back in the locker room, Popovich said to the players with a smile.
The old man is in a good mood.
Tang Tian couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard this.
To say that the Clippers are also doing it themselves.
If you win, you win, and you have to jump like that.
And it doesn't matter who is on the other side.
If this is changed to another coach, it may be fine to win it back, but it happens to be Popovich.
If you don't win 58 points, you won't feel comfortable!
"Mo Williams is the biggest gunner, and he missed the last 3-pointer!"
"I heard that there is a website in China called 58 Tongcheng, which is very popular."
"Is this special girl metaphysics? Losing 58 in the Western Conference semifinals twice, this is really unprecedented!"
"There must be the hand of God to operate all this!"
"God said that he will not take the blame. The person who handles all this must be a 3-second man~"
After the Western Conference semifinals, the fans also chatted all night.
In the East, the 76ers and the Celtics were fighting hard, and the Heat also tied the Pacers 2-2. It is still unknown who will advance.
But in the West, the Thunder also defeated the Lakers 106 to 90, and also advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a score of 4 to 1.
With the elimination of the two Los Angeles teams, the two teams in the Western Conference Finals have been determined, the Spurs and the Thunder.
One of the two teams is first in the Western Conference and the other is second in the Western Conference. This result is expected.
One is a traditional strong team, and the other is an upstart in the league.
This is definitely the most anticipated matchup in the West.
The Spurs won and continued to write the legend, and the Thunder won more thoroughly, and the Thunder rose directly.
And apart from the team, the grievances between Tang Tian and Durant will never be forgotten by the fans.
Before losing the regular season, Durant could still say that he didn't feel good, but if he lost the Western Conference Finals, he would be really ashamed and ashamed.
