Chapter 528: Buckle Griffin (Fourth Update!) )
Davis was tougher than you can imagine.
Griffin's performance was the opposite, as the provocative party, his performance after returning from the conflict was extremely lost, and he made all kinds of mistakes.
The Clippers relied on Paul's continued output to barely hold on to the Pelicans.
But even so, at the end of the third quarter, the Clippers still trailed the Clippers by as many as 14 points.
With the intensity of the playoffs, that's already a very big point difference.
The Pelicans have a very good chance of winning Game 3.
The odds are in the Pelicans' favor.
However, just two minutes into the fourth quarter, the situation took a turn for the worse.
The Clippers' "Convulsion King" Crawford suddenly came to his senses, and scored two three-pointers and a mid-range shot in a row, instantly narrowing the gap to 5 points.
This is Crawford's style of play, Kobe Bryant has to retreat when the iron is up, but when he is on the spot, he is an outside supergiant.
He is now in the form of an outside supergiant, and Williams has no time to react.
Williams called Tang Tian up in advance, but just before the dead ball, Crawford faced Holiday and scored a layup.
After a wave of 10-0 individual scores, the Pelicans' lead was reduced to just four points.
At the trade deadline, Clippers management felt that Crawford was too old and wanted to trade him away.
But thankfully they didn't trade, and Crawford pulled the Clippers back from the brink.
Crawford helped the Clippers stay alive, and Paul continued his excellent form, coming back to help the Clippers tighten the score.
In the last minute of the game, the Clippers were still three points behind the Pelicans, and they still had a chance to tie the score or even win the game with the ball.
Paul is organized with the ball outside the three-point line.
"Defend! Defend! ”
The cheers of the fans at the scene were overwhelming.
Although New Orleans is a small city, the enthusiasm of the fans is really not inferior to Los Angeles.
The Pelicans did a good job of defending on the court, and Redick and Griffin didn't have a chance to run and cut into the air.
With little time left, Paul finally called for Griffin to play a pick-and-roll, and after the breakdown, he made his trademark pull-up and then shot.
Tonight, he has already scored 28 points with this steady mid-range.
However, he made too many such shots, and this time the second shot was predicted by Davis.
He leaned back in the air.
Several of the league's current supergiants, James's breakthrough, Kobe's back, Durant's jump shot, etc., there is Paul's mid-range.
Paul couldn't defend most of the time in the middle distance, and he caught the shot perfectly.
"Bang!"
This time, though, apparently not most of the time, Davis didn't dodge his long arm even though Paul leaned back.
With a big hat, Davis directly slapped Paul's shot back.
Davis' 6th block of the game!
The cheers of the fans at the scene have exploded, and Davis's presence on the defensive end tonight is bursting!
Paul was quick to get the ball on the outside floor, but Holiday was quicker than him, and after holding the ball, he called a timeout.
In the final 40 seconds, the Pelicans possessed the ball!
Now that they've scored that goal, the game is pretty much a certainty.
The fans were already on their feet by this time, and they couldn't wait to celebrate the team's victory.
If they can win this game, it will definitely be the best thing they can do this year.
After the timeout, the Pelicans replaced Anderson, the space on the court was widened, and Holiday also took the defender away after sending the ball to Tang Tian.
The key attack must be fought by Tang Tian.
The Pelicans opened up the space, and the Clippers didn't get to the bag for the first time.
Tang Tian glanced at the timer, and he didn't rush to attack.
Time passed little by little, and the nervousness of the fans at the scene also brewed little by little.
When the clock entered about 30 seconds, Tang Tian beckoned Davis to mention the three-point line to block and dismantle.
This choice was somewhat unexpected by Rivers, after all, if there was no package, Tang Tian was the most likely to play singles.
But Tang Tian hit this unexpectedly.
If the Clippers pause is not arranged, then the choice depends on the Clippers players.
Davis lifted the pick-and-roll, and Jordan Jr. chose to wrap Tang Tian.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball and stepped back.
Davis then galloped to the basket.
Griffin retreats from the bottom corner to the basket.
Tang Tian now has two options for passing, either to Davis or to Anderson.
Of course, if he can pass the ball.
Barnes sealed the road with his waist, Jordan Jr. reached out to seal the road, and the two of them did a good job of matching their bags and clips.
Tang Tian passed, he neither hit the ground nor plugged it directly, but threw it directly into the basket.
Davis saw it and took to the air.
Griffin had shrunk to the basket by this time and jumped up to organize Davis' free catch.
"Bang!"
The two have a physical confrontation in the air.
Davis was the first to catch the ball, then focused all his strength on his right hand that grabbed the ball and threw it directly into the basket.
Griffin's confrontation was stronger than Davis's, and after this confrontation, Davis's body was pushed out.
But Davis also tried his best, and Griffin smashed the ball to the basket with his right hand.
That's when the advantage of the hand length comes out.
Although his body was being pushed outward, the distance between his hand and the basket was still getting closer.
"Bang!"
Davis leaned half-leaning in the air and smashed the ball into the basket through Griffin!
Davis, dunk Griffin!
In the second game of the series, Griffin dunked Davis, and Davis dunked back this time!
Come and don't be rude!
And Davis's buckles are noticeably cleaner!
"Anthony ~~ Davis!!"
The live DJ stretched the pitch.
The entire New Orleans arena was boiling.
After being crossed by Griffin, Davis kept responding and his performance continued to climb.
Just now, this buckle came directly to a vertex.
What better response than such an empty spacer!
Davis was very calm after landing this time, and when he saw Tang Tian coming, he jumped up with a smile and bumped his chest with him.
He could now feel his growth, that feeling of sublimation, and he felt more joy than excitement.
The Clippers called a timeout.
“AD! AD! ”
Davis went off the field, and the cheers of the fans at the scene could not be stopped at all.
Davis smiled and waved to the fans, but after he closed his hand, he looked at Tang Tian with a fan look.
He knew what his change came from, and Tang Tian was really worthy of the nickname of the godfather.
The last 20 seconds.
If the Clippers want to win, they have to score a quick 3 or 2 and then foul right away.
After Davis scored that ball in the air, the chances were slim for them.
Serve in the front court.
Griffin's serve from the outside, the Clippers have a tactical run on the court.
Redick went around the pick-and-roll, and it looked like the Clippers were going to grab a 3-pointer.
But Griffin threw the ball to the basket with a slam.
3 points are just a false shot, they are going to be a quick 2 points!
"Smack!"
However, as soon as the ball went out of Griffin's hand, Tang Tian suddenly shot out from the diagonal side, jumped up and broke the ball directly!
The Clippers' offense was successfully predicted by Tang Tian!
This steal also directly cut off the last hope of the Clippers!
ps: It's the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the tomato hasn't gone out yet, so the tomato, if you like it, vote for an encouraging monthly pass!
