Chapter 183: Grab Seven (5)
"So far in the third quarter, Rivers can't hold his breath first!" Van Gundy watched Rivers call a timeout again and judged.
"That's right, the current score is 72:73, the Clippers are only one point ahead, and there are more than 4 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, it is obvious that the Clippers' second team is far worse than the Suns, if there are no substitutions, then the Suns' bench bandits will be as simple as narrowing the score, they will definitely overtake or even pull away the score!" Mike Brin nodded in reply.
Rivers also knows this truth, so he touched his smooth head, and he is even more determined to get his son Rivers Jr. into the Clippers next season, otherwise the Clippers' roster is really thin.
Hornacek looked at his watch at this time, wondering that it was time for Rivers to change to the main force at this time, so he said to Li Mojie and others: "Mojie, Eric, now is the critical moment, you should be on the line"
After the timeout, Paul and Griffin did return to the court, and at this time, the Clippers lineup became: Paul, Jamal Crawford, Jarred Dudley, Eric Griffin, and Ryan Hollins.
At this time, the Suns also changed the lineup of Bledsoe, Middleton, Lee Mojie, Channing Fry, and Markieff Morris.
The Clippers attacked, Paul and Griffin blocked it, the ball was handed to Griffin, and Paul ran aggressively.
It's his response to Bledsoe, who does one of the best ball-handlers defending, so he's going to have to figure out some way to get rid of this guy!
So Paul was actively running with the help of his teammates' cover, and behind him, Bledsoe was in hot pursuit, and after the cover of Ryan Hollins high post, Bledsoe was a little slower and could not stop Bledsoe's catch.
After receiving the ball, Paul rushed forward, and Paul didn't have the opportunity for Bledsoe to defend directly, rushed forward, and made a quick stop jump shot.
Bledsoe, who followed closely, jumped up to interfere, but couldn't stop Paul's shot. Paul's mid-range shot, a two-point direct hit.
"It's okay!" Li Mojie patted Bledsoe on the shoulder, no matter how good a defender is, it is impossible to defend every ball, let alone facing Paul? The attacker naturally has the initiative, and there is nothing to blame for this.
Bledsoe had the ball in the half, the ball was in the hands of a high post Li Mojie, and Fry and Middleton immediately started running.
However, Griffin and Crawford did a very good job of defending this period, and Frye and Middleton both went around in circles, but neither could find too good offensive opportunities.
Lee regained possession from outside the three-point line on the left, and Markieff pulled up to the bottom corner to bring Ryan Hollins out of the line.
However, knowing that Markieff is not too lethal on the outside, Hollins is a little far away from Markieff at this time, obviously directly emptying Markieff, and his attention at this time is more focused on Li Mojie, who is holding the ball.
However, Markieff Morris is much more than that, Li Mojie beckoned Freira to come out high to block, and then Lee Mojie dribbled and began to break through Griffin, and Markieff also began to move at this time.
Jarred was affected by Frye's pick-and-roll and was unable to stop Li Mojie in time, Hollins chose to shrink the defense, Griffin also began to move his steps to that side at this time, and Markieff immediately moved along the baseline.
Run the air cut! When the Clippers' attention was all on the breakthrough Li Mojie, Markieff started quickly and cut to the basket!
Markieff got rid of Hollins and cut to the basket, and at this time, Li Mojie was already in a state of being trapped, and he was about to pass back to Fry to let him shoot, but after seeing Markieff cut under the basket, he smashed the ball between Griffin and Jaled, and a ground-hitting pass sent the ball directly to Markieff.
"This pass!" Van Gundy's mouth opened wide.
Li Mojie's strange pass made Jarred and Griffin completely unresponsive, and the ball had already fallen into the hands of Markieff.
After receiving the ball, the speed did not decrease, and Markieff stepped into the three-second zone, and at the same time, the center of gravity suddenly increased, and he took off with the momentum of this big stride! Jumping from the bottom right of the basket, Markieff grabbed the basketball tightly with his right hand and smashed it into the basket.
"Well done, wow, the connection between Markieff and Li Mojie!" Brin exclaimed.
At this point, Hollins hadn't even had time to come back to make up for it.
At 74:75, the score was still only one point behind.
"Well done!"
"Marcieff, well done!"
Seeing such a wonderful cooperation between Li Mojie and Markieff, the Chinese fans who supported the Suns on the scene also began to shout loudly and cheer, and at this time, Li Mojie, who had completed the offense, quickly retreated to the halfcourt.
It is indeed good to complete the offense, but for the current Suns, defense is a more important task, after all, scoring alone cannot overtake the opponent, only at the same time as their own points, let the opponent not score or score less, in order to win this game!
As in the previous round, Paul and Griffin blocked and picked up, and Griffin received the ball and played high, a skill he has been developing in recent seasons.
However, in this round, Paul did not get the basketball easily, Bledsoe was actively following and blocking Li Mojie often came around from the side of the covering player to interfere with Paul's receiving of the ball.
Paul, who couldn't receive the ball for a long time, could only pull outside the three-point line at this time, and then Griffin took the ball and framed the single Channing Frye, looking at the slowly pressing Griffin, Frye stepped back one by one, and always kept a relatively appropriate distance from Griffin.
Griffin suddenly started to break through and rushed to the right, and Frye quickly moved his feet to block, and when Griffin rushed into the three-point line a step away, Markieff also ran over to stop the opponent.
"Squeak!"
At this time, Griffin chose a sudden emergency stop center of gravity up and a sudden stop jump shot!
"Bang!" The ball smashed into the hoop and bounced off bounds.
At the same time, Hornacek shouted from the sidelines: "Markieff, Frye, you two change positions, Markieff, you come to see Griffin, understand?" ”
Then Li Mojie dribbled directly over the half court, this season has played so far, his physical fitness has also begun to decline, making a bag is not an easy job, he is attracting the bag for nearly three quarters, to attract the bag of course you have to play an actual threat, otherwise the opponent will not be the bag.
But fortunately, Li Mojie's threat is big enough, he moved to the left sideline, and the Clippers' defense also leaned towards him, and his attention was on the left side of the basket, Li Mojie jumped up and passed the ball to Frye, who was standing on the edge of the three-second zone on the same side as him, Frye was very close to the basket at this time, and the Clippers defense all came to the basket and Li Mojie's side, Frye immediately distributed the ball to Middleton on the bottom line, Middleton hit the mid-range hit on the bottom line, and the two sides were tied!
