Amid the cheers of the fans in the live audience, the fourth quarter of the game began.

Li Yang continues to rest off the court, he needs to recuperate, the Clippers are currently leading by nine points, and he is not needed to play right away for the time being.

Rivers sent a rotating lineup of two forwards + three defenders: Harrell + Bamot + Beverley + Bradley + Alexander.

The Rockets didn't send Harden on the court either, with Anthony taking McCarvey, Gerald Green, Tucker and Capela with him.

The game began in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers possessed the ball.

Beverley controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Harrell mentioned high post for pick-and-roll coordination.

Gerald Green, who was already mediocre defensively, managed to be blocked by Harrell's big body.

At the moment of dismantling, Harrell slashed into the basket.

Capela didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, clinging to Harrell's side, worried that he would let his old friend Harrell eat cake and dunk if he was not careful.

The Clippers' tactic at this time is to block and dismantle, break through the ball to the outside to shoot or dunk under the inside to the basket.

Beverley burst into the restricted area, saw that no one came to make up for the defense, and went directly to an empty basket.

"Huh!"

Beverley scored two points.

The offense of the Rockets.

Gordon dribbled beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, and a high hob passed the ball to Capela, who was stuck in the basket.

After Capela received the ball, he used his left foot as the fulcrum, but made a right turn.

Harrell made a lateral move with his right foot in an attempt to block Capela's attacking line.

However.

It was just Capella's feint to shake Harrell away.

The next second.

Capella's right foot turned back, took a step forward, and the whole person flew up.

"Bang!"

The whole set of movements is smooth, and it is easy to complete a one-handed split.

Harrell, who was shaken away, looked at his former teammate Capela in surprise.

His melancholy eyes seemed to say: Didn't the eldest brother say that they would eat bread together until they grow old? Why did you suddenly change your mind, is this to abandon me?

95：86。

The Clippers' offense.

Harrell quickly served the ball, and the Clippers began to pick up the offensive tempo, trying to rely on speed to tear apart the Rockets' defense.

Beverley dribbled into the box, attracted Capela's help and quickly distributed the ball to Bamot who was ambushed in the bottom corner on the right.

After Bamot received the ball, he jumped quickly and made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Three-point hit!

98：86！

For the first time, the Clippers stretched the score above 10 points.

This time, the Rockets' offense started with melon Anthony as the starting point, and Capela responded with the ball in the high post.

Nine-finger dunk king Green took advantage of melon's off-ball cover, cut into the basket in the air, received Capela's pass, and scored a layup.

In the next few rounds, the Rockets increased their defensive intensity, and the Clippers' shooting percentage plummeted.

The Rockets relied on Capela to eat cakes frequently under the basket, chasing the difference to within five points in one fell swoop.

100：95。

With more than 7 minutes left before the end of the game, Rivers asked for a timeout and brought Li Yang and other key players back on the court to prepare for the final showdown.

The Rockets also brought in Harden and Gordon for Gerrard and McCarvey.

"The Rockets and Clippers have replaced all the main players, and it seems that the final battle is about to be held!"

"The strength of the Clippers' lineup is not much worse than that of the Rockets, but Harden will not be like in the first half, and the time will come to test the Clippers' defensive offense."

"That's right, the Rockets are starting to show the strength of the West, and they can never underestimate their determination to pursue a championship."

In the Tencent Sports live broadcast room, commentator Su Qun and commentator Yang Yi expressed their respective views.

At the end of the timeout, Li Yang returned to the court.

Li Yang received the ball and quickly dribbled across the halfcourt.

Gallinari ran to the outside to open up space for Li Yang to break through.

Harrell ran out from the inside and played with Li Yang to block and cooperate.

Now that the basket is empty, Anthony and Capela shrink back, ready to rush inside at any time to make up for it.

After Li Yang and Harrell successfully blocked and dismantled, they directly faced Capela's change of defense.

Harrell took cover and turned around and cut quickly to the basket.

Tucker followed, but his eyes were always focused on Li Yang's pass, intending to break the ball.

Li Yang made a large early change of direction, quickly shook Anthony, who was moving slowly, and burst into the penalty area in one fell swoop.

When Li Yang burst to the basket, Capela's help defense also arrived in time!

Just as Li Yang took a step forward and was about to move, Capela and Anthony, who assisted in the defense, formed a wrap-around package.

Li Yang did not slow down, and the gyro turned Capela and scored a backhand layup.

"Bang!!"

Li Yang looked back and saw Capela and Anthony, who couldn't stop the car, bumping head-on.

The violent impact sound hurt to think about, Li Yang unconsciously covered his chest, and then quickly returned to defense.

102：95。

Capela and Anthony recovered before they ran up front and settled into position quickly.

Gordon dribbled past half court and gave the ball to Harden at the top of the arc.

Anthony ran over to give Harden a pick-and-roll, but Harden didn't yell out the words, "Put away your damn pick-and-roll." ”

Because he couldn't win this game alone, Harden wanted to win and gave up his stubborn pride.

Li Yang was blocked by Anthony's solid body, and Harden burst to the basket and hit a 2-point shot on a small throw as he went.

The score on the big screen changed to 102:97.

After Li Yang received the ball, he dribbled forward without hurrying or slow, came to the three-point line, and hit the ground to pass the ball quickly to Harris.

After Harris received the ball, he collided with Capela in the air and threw the ball before losing his balance, but unfortunately he couldn't make it.

"Toot toot!"

The referee's whistle blows.

"Rockets block foul No. 17 and make two free throws."

At the critical moment, Harris failed to withstand the pressure and missed two big misses.

Capela grabbed the backcourt rebound and threw it directly to Harden, who had already run to the halfcourt.

Harden took the ball and launched a fast break.

Beverley followed in the hunt for Harden.

But Beverly couldn't catch up.

Li Yang reacted quickly, and he retreated to the basket first, ready to meet the impact of Harden's basket.

Harden suddenly stopped outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

"What's going on? Not good......"

Harden didn't stop his actions to collect the ball, paused, and directly jumped to shoot 3 points 1, all in one go!!

"Peat!"

"He's going to chase down and shoot threes!!"

Li Yang completely miscalculated this time.

"Huh!"

102：100。

This is Harden's fast-break three-point approach.

When returning to defense, Harden smiled again and suggested to Li Yang: "Yang, how about coming to Houston next summer?" I think with your talent and the strength of Chris and me, you can definitely make a difference. ”

"How about you come to Houston and we'll fight for the championship together?"

He just teased Li Yang before the opening, and suddenly felt that it was very feasible, and his attitude immediately became formal.

Li Yang's strength has been recognized by him, and Li Yang's style of play can be perfectly compatible with him.

"Cut, this trick again, do you think I'm going to fool you??"

Li Yang didn't say anything, standing at a forty-five degree angle outside the three-point line, with a black face.

As soon as he got into position, the basketball passed through Beverley's hands.

He didn't think about it, he directly held the ball and hit the basket, and shook off Harden's eye defense in one step.

Compared with Li Yang's defense, Harden's defense is really average, as long as the opponent breaks through, he generally stays in place and performs the Dafa of staring.

With his stature, it is naturally impossible to put a lot of energy into both offensive and defensive ends, and saving physical strength to stay on offense has long been his consistent way of playing.

Brother Deng watched Li Yang easily rush into the basket and jump towards Capela.

With his excellent airborne ability and flexibility, Li Yang actually dodged Capela's huge body, and then twisted his body to throw the ball into the hoop.

Kobe, is that you?

The moment Harden lays up with Li Yang, it seems that he sees his former idol return to the Staples Center Arena and is beating Capela with a picturesque pose.

But when he saw the eye-catching No. 13 behind the other party, he knew that it was an illusion.

This rookie's talent is really jealous!

Harden shook his head with a wry smile and prepared to run to catch the ball. When passing by Li Yang's side, he suddenly heard the other party say a ridiculous word.

"James, I'd rather you come to Los Angeles and join me in the championship. I think that opportunity is more certain than what you offered. ”

"Nima, I've been tricked by this rookie again!" Harden was stunned, took Capela's free throw, and walked forward.
