Paul had just returned and had not been playing for long, but his impact was immediate.

The most obvious point is that when Paul came on the court, Tang Shuai played more of a catch-and-attack role, which greatly reduced his physical exertion in the offense.

In addition, Paul himself is also a great offensive deterrent, although in order to prevent the recurrence of the injury he basically did not break through, but his passing and shooting are still a great threat, which has never been seen before when Tang Shuai led the team alone.

88-85, with Paul's efficient play and wave after wave of cheers from the audience, the Clippers played with great momentum at home, and at the end of the third quarter, they still maintained a three-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul and Tang Shuai were both sitting on the sidelines, and Booker and Jordan Jr. were playing a kind of bench on the court.

On the Thunder's side, Durant is also playing with a group of benches.

On the offense of the Clippers, Booker took advantage of Green's block to run outside the three-point line, received a pass from Ismael Smith, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the shot was decisive and fast, and it was hard to see that he was still just a rookie, but he had the style of Klay Thompson.

"Devin is getting more and more daring to fight now, and I've heard that he's been training with you, and that's really good for him." Paul turned to Tang Shuai and said.

'We just train together and the main thing is that he has a lot of talent. Tang Shuai said modestly that although he often guides Booker, Booker has always regarded him as the "boss" since he arrived at the team, and has given some help to his "little brother", which is really nothing worth saying.

The game on the court was still raging, and Booker just hit a three-point shot, and after Durant received the ball and shook it, he followed suit. Shot a goal from Green and responded directly with an answerball, showing the style of a superstar.

And when Jordan Jr. continued to rush to the front court to rebound and score, Kante turned around and played directly on the inside, and the shooting after turning around also won the score for the Thunder.

The game was extremely anxious in this kind of back and forth round, but slowly, the Thunder took the initiative on the court, and the main reason for this was that the Thunder appeared at the third point of attack.

Dion Waiters, the Cavaliers' No. 4 rookie and a high-pick rookie, was sold to the Thunder after two years of developing little superstar potential.

When he first arrived at the Thunder, Waiters was still the same as when he was with the Cavaliers, shooting randomly, not working hard defensively, and even having a lot of nonsensical mistakes, a typical self-defeating "cancer" player, but all this has changed since his brother died unexpectedly in a car accident at the end of the season, and the cancer in his bones seems to have been removed with the death of his brother.

In the following games, he always defended hard and stopped throwing away, but one thing that didn't change was his self-confidence.

Playing next to Shuangshao, regardless of whether you score or not, and dare to shoot at a critical moment, it is already a very difficult thing in itself.

Not to mention that he felt good tonight, with a fast-break layup, an open three-pointer, and a breakthrough to make a free throw, after his consecutive performances, the Thunder finally played a wave of offensive climax, stopping the Clippers directly.

With more than seven minutes left in the game, the Thunder held an eight-point lead at 99-91.

"Wake up, guys, look up at the score above your heads, if you don't want to be out of the next game, give us your hard work, no reservations!" Cassel shouted at the team.

After the pause, Cassel also took advantage of the situation to replace Paul and Tang Shuai on the field, and he also replaced Brewer, it seems that he is really ready to fight back.

On the offense of the Clippers, Paul made a "4" tactical gesture, and after a burst of tactical running, Booker caught the ball on the outside and shot.

"Bang!"

The basketball went into the basket, but it was a little unlucky, and it jumped out of the basket after entering.

The rebound was taken by Adams, and Westbrook directly hit a fast break, rushing to the front court and directly pressing Tang Shuai to score a layup.

The goal also helped the Thunder extend their lead to double digits, which was also the biggest margin of the game between the two sides.

Westbrook, who scored the goal, looked extremely excited, and after raising his head and roaring, he glared at Tang Shuai unabashedly for several seconds.

Tang Shuai's brows furrowed suddenly, and his hands slammed into his fists, this Westbrook really likes to provoke.

Paul saw Tang Shuai's move, ran over and pulled him over and said: "Take it easy, it's just a goal, the team's win or loss depends on your performance, don't let everyone down." ”

Tang Shuai turned his head and looked at Paul in a daze, it was nothing for other teammates to say this, he didn't expect Paul to say the same, which was equivalent to the greatest recognition of him.

He nodded, Paul had just returned from injury at this time, and if the team wanted to win, the responsibility was more on him, and he had to carry this heavy weight.

Paul saw him nod, tapped him on the shoulder, and ran forward.

On the offense of the Clippers, Tang Shuai ran according to Paul's tactical gestures, and got rid of Robertson's defense with a counterrun and cut directly to the basket.

Paul's blow to the earth came perfectly in his path.

At the same time, however, Ibaka appeared in front of him, and stood up straight, waiting for him to bump into him.

Tang Shuai ran very fast in this ball, and if he received the ball and made a layup, he was likely to be fouled by Ibaka.

In a flash of lightning, he caught a glimpse of Booker standing there in the bottom corner of the right wing, and he didn't even think about it, after grabbing the ball with one hand, he flicked the ball in that direction with the other hand.

The ball was so fast that it barely stayed in his hands, and just after the pass, he swerved away from Ibaka.

Booker's catch is directly a three-point shot.

"Wow", there are three points!

Booker swung a punch into the sky excitedly after scoring the goal, and this three-point shot was definitely worth a thousand dollars.

"Let's win this game, let's win this damn game!" When he retreated to the half, Tang Shuai shouted directly and loudly to his teammates.

With Tang Shuai's roar, the faces of his teammates showed a strong sense of war.

Paul threw a look of appreciation at Tang Shuai, and from this roar, it can be seen that Tang Shuai is ready to carry the team on his shoulders.

The Thunder's offense, Westbrook got rid of the defense by blocking and rushing straight inside, his movements were fierce and inevitable.

But just as he entered the free throw line, Tang Shuai didn't know when he appeared in front of him, covering his crotch with both hands, with a resolute look on his face.

Westbrook rushed with all his might, and the impact was probably not much different from that of a small tank, and trying to create an offensive foul in such a situation was quite dangerous and required a lot of courage.

"Bang!"

Westbrook couldn't restrain himself and knocked Tang Shuai out directly.

Although Tang Shuai has the strength of the bus in his body, it is still a bit of a mantis arm to block Westbrook's full sprint, and after he fell to the ground, he directly rowed into the photographer's pile due to inertia.

Suddenly, a burst of people turned on their backs.

"Toot!"

The referee pointed to the Thunder's backcourt, and Westbrook was fouled on offense.

When the whistle blew, Tang Shuai fell to the ground, and when he saw the referee's gesture, he jumped up suddenly.

When he stood up, the breath in his chest came up, and suddenly there was a violent cough.

However, the light in his eyes was obviously compared to being knocked down, and the value of guarding this ball was definitely worth the price.

On the offense of the Clippers, Paul held the ball to the front court and directly handed the ball to Tang Shuai.

He could feel that Tang Shuai's eyes were constantly surging with fighting intent.

After Tang Shuai held the ball, the others consciously opened up the space, he faced Robertson's defense, glanced at the basket, and after sinking the center of gravity, he rushed directly inside.

The Thunder's defense shrank as well.

Tang Shuai didn't have any intention of passing the ball at this time, he protected the ball in his arms, and suddenly accelerated again.

At the same speed as the wind, Tang Shuai rushed between the Thunder's bag and defense at extraordinary speed, which was directly a drifting basket.

The basketball rolls steadily into the net bag!

The speed of this ball was extremely fast, Tang Shuai couldn't control his body after he shot, and directly hit the blue shelf, but when he turned around and saw that the ball had entered, he immediately clenched his fist.

The cheers on the scene erupted again, and with this layup, the Clippers once again chased the score to 5 points!

"Tang's offense and defense are very smart and tough." Mike Smith couldn't help but be moved by Tang Shuai's courage.

"The aggressive desire in this kid's body is constantly emerging, and I saw this temperament against the Warriors, and after two games of silence, I thought it was gone, but I didn't expect it to appear again!" O'Neill also sighed, to put it bluntly, the current Tang Shuai made him feel the state of Tang Shuai when he used a single consumption pack.

Unyielding, competitive, and unhesitating.

Westbrook looked up at the score after receiving the ball, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit, although sometimes the blood was too much, but Tang Shuai's strong performance undoubtedly aroused his fighting spirit.

Holding the ball to the front court, he beckoned Adams to make a block, directly leaned on Jordan Jr. and rushed inside, and when he was only two steps away from the basket, he actually chose to get up, and pressed the ball to the basket with his right hand, and wanted to dunk Jordan Jr.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and of course it was impossible for Little Jordan to let him be blocked, so he stopped him directly.

Little Jordan's hand hit him directly in the head, and the audience in the front row could hear the crisp sound.

The referee immediately reached out and blew Jordan Jr.'s blocking foul.

The foul action of this ball was actually quite big, but he rarely did not complain to the referee like before, but went directly to the free throw line and hit two free throws steadily.

Donovan kept nodding on the sidelines when he saw this scene, and Westbrook, who calmed down, was definitely multiplied.

The Clippers' offense, after Tang Shuai went around along the three-point line, one turned around and rushed to the basket, and Paul's pass followed.

Perhaps affected by Westbrook's last shot, this time after receiving the ball, he did not choose to go to the basket, but suddenly accelerated, picked up the ball with both hands, and faced Robertson, who was more than half a head taller than him, and was about to dunk. (To be continued.) )
