Chapter 204: End of the third quarter
The game started again, after Bruce Bowen came on the court, he maintained the tradition of the Los Angeles Clippers who made both free throws, which made the Los Angeles Lakers' shark cutting tactics completely declared a failure, the baseline ball was opened, Derrick Fisher took over the task of organizing the advancement from the new, Robert Hawley and Derrick Fisher advanced to the half court together, and when they came to the three-point line, Robert Hawley stood still, Kobe Bryant took Bruce Bowen and passed by him, and the Los Angeles Lakers completed a simple blocking and dismantling cooperation, Bryant shook off Bruce Bowen and received a pass from Derrick Fisher and took a stand outside the three-point line.

Tiger quickly came over to make up for the defense, but Billups, who was closer to Kobe, never moved, the Los Angeles Clippers had already focused on the three-point defense, which was Bill Fish's character relief, so the player's defensive running was not messed up at all, Kobe Bryant was not the focus when defending three-pointers, and Derrick Fisher and Robert Hawley were the focus of the defense, both of whom had a big heart and three-point ability at critical moments, Kobe Bryant saw that Billups did not move, Bruce Bowen also stayed in front of Robert Hawley, knowing that he could choose to play alone with this ball, and Tiger Washington, who appeared in front of him, was also the first time since the start of this round of playoffs that he really defended him face-to-face, which was really a feeling for a long time.
Kobe Bryant made a feint to shoot, Tiger did not move, lowered his center of gravity, stared at Kobe Bryant tightly, Kobe raised the basketball with both hands for the second time, and made a knee bending motion, Tiger still did not move, Kobe Bryant had no choice but to give up the feint, dribbling the basketball sideways a step, suddenly a sudden stop jumped, and threw the basketball in his hand, this time Tiger also jumped up, and the tips of his fingers touched the lower edge of the basketball, but did not change the direction of the basket, but this touch still had some effect, and the basketball hit the basket, bounced out, Jason Green and Shaq O'Neal were under the basket, tangled, Wright took the opportunity to take the rebound and handed the basketball to Billups.
Why was Tiger able to judge Kobe Bryant's feints? Tiger didn't pay attention to Kobe's movements at all, what he observed was the coherence of Kobe's actions, which is the experience that Tiger summed up from himself, if the coherence of the actions is not good, even if Kobe really shoots, then the shooting percentage is definitely not high, and for players like Kobe, if the consistency is not good, they rarely choose to shoot.
After Billups received the rebound, his feet stood still, completely ignoring Derrick Fisher, who was delaying in front of him, and the other players were also at this time, quickly began to run to the half court, Billups did not have the idea of sending a fast break, and waited until all the players around him left, before dribbling the basketball and moving forward, the Los Angeles Clippers don't need to grab points now, they just need to be stable, the end time of the third quarter displayed on the timer on the spot, there is less than a minute left, Billups needs to think about it now, How to spend the remaining time.
8 seconds, when the Los Angeles Clippers offense countdown was 8 seconds, Billups began to attack, and the place where the basket was most advanced, that is, the place with the highest offensive success rate, the Los Angeles Clippers passed the basketball to the basket again, Jason Green did not score under the interference of Shaq O'Neal, but Wright shook off Robert Hawley's defense, and with a light touch of his hand, the basketball was added, and the Los Angeles Clippers began to show the world at this time, their terrible interior ability, This team, which was once considered by many pundits to be weak on the inside, has shown everyone at key moments that their interior is just as strong.
"The Los Angeles Clippers' offense is scoring again, they are stable like a precision machine, every player on the court, playing their part, the Los Angeles Lakers are starting to use a more risky three-point stealing tactic, at this time, maybe I can't comment on the right or wrong of this tactic, but the Los Angeles Lakers need me to close the score as soon as possible, there is no doubt about it." After Rick Barry saw the changes in the Los Angeles Lakers, he expressed his concern for the Los Angeles Lakers with some subtlety.
"Coach Phil Jackson is not wrong to arrange it this way." Compared to Rick Barry's ambiguity in words, Charles Barkley is much more direct. "At this time, if the Los Angeles Lakers can't steal the points, then they will be dragged to death by the Los Angeles Clippers, rather than this, it's better to give it a go, even if it fails, it only accelerates the time of their death, I think it's better than waiting for death slowly, in case they succeed, then in the fourth quarter, maybe they still have a glimmer of hope, but time is really running out."
"Regardless of the final result, I would say it's a classic game, and this series is a great series with both sides playing strong and both teams in the West and in the same city, which will leave them a legacy in NBA history. Even though I'm a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers, I want to say that thanks to the efforts of the Los Angeles Lakers, they are just as great even if they lose. At this time, York did not have the aggressiveness of the past, but sighed for the Los Angeles Lakers, even if the strong fail, they should be respected.
The Los Angeles Lakers began to steal three points, Derrick Fisher scored a three-pointer in the subsequent offense, and before the end of the third quarter, in the last 1 second, Robert Hawley also hit a three-point whistle, but the Los Angeles Clippers' play was still stable, when the third quarter ended, the Los Angeles Clippers still led the Los Angeles Lakers by 10 points, which is not an unpredetermined score, but the Los Angeles Lakers want to turn the tables, but it is not easy, these 10 points, will be a big mountain, across in front of them.
The consumption of players on both sides is very large, especially the Los Angeles Lakers, due to the failure of Coach Phil Jackson's scoring tactics in the second quarter, the starters of the Los Angeles Lakers need to play almost the whole game, which is a great test of their physical fitness, the Los Angeles Clippers are better, but it is only better, and their fast offense in the third quarter is also a great physical exertion, especially Tiger and Billups.
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers, who were crowded with talents, made substitution adjustments again, Billups sat off the court, Ginobili came off the bench, seeing this, many people looked puzzled, sitting on the sidelines of Bill Fish, Ginobili and Tiger Washington have similar playing styles, the compatibility of the two on the court is not good, this critical moment, Bill Fitch replaced Ginobili, it is inevitable that people are a little puzzled.
