Chapter 269: The Suns' counterattack
After receiving the ball, Jordan Jr. was already completely unguarded, and after he got the ball, he directly made a vigorous slam dunk, his strength and weight were stronger than Griffin, and the entire basket was pressed down by him.
After the dunk, Little Jordan looked very excited, beating the **** with both hands, and then roared into the sky.
Hornacek's face was turning purple.
Tang Shuai is clearly provoking!
Tang Shuai glanced at Hornacek with a smile at this time, and then turned his head and retreated.
"Chauncey, I heard that yesterday morning, you taught Don the skills of passing?" Cassel was well-informed, and turned to Billups next to him.
Billups nodded: "Don has a short-pass ability, but he learns faster than I expected." ”
"I feel that way, Don has been in the team for so long, I can feel that he doesn't seem to be sure about passing, I didn't expect you to teach him in a training session." Cassel said with emotion.
"The main thing is that he understands quickly." Billups smiled, then looked back at the arena.
The Suns played very imposing in the opening game, but after all, the strength is much weaker than the Clippers, originally if Tang Shuai did not hit the pass package, Hornacek's targeted defense is still very effective, but now, with Tang Shuai's coquettish passes appearing, everything can only stay on Hornacek's tactical board.
Tang Shuai changed the style of previous games in this game, and almost put all his energy into cooperating with his teammates.
A quick through ball from the fast break was given to Smith, who followed it with a one-handed slam.
In the tactical coordination over there, he threw his hand to Booker. The latter raised his hand to make a three-pointer.
The whole Clippers seemed to open up all at once, as the game progressed. The score difference is also a little bit wider.
By the end of the third quarter, the Clippers' lead had extended to 15 points. It seems that this game is basically closed.
However, in this case, the Suns suddenly played a strong comeback in the first half of the fourth quarter, and under the leadership of Knight, the team played a 10-0 offensive climax, and the difference was close to 85:90 at once.
As a last resort, the Clippers had to put their main team back on the court.
Tang Shuai has already scored 9 points and 8 assists at this time, and the quasi-double-double data is very likely to win the first double-double of his career.
Hornacek was also bold, seeing the Suns chase back in a row, even if the Clippers switched to the main team. He also didn't make any changes to the lineup.
And that boldness paid off, as the Suns played an offensive round, and Knight made a one-man pass to Mirza Telitovic on the right wing, who also played with confidence and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.
With a crisp sound of "swish", the knife fell in his hand, and the score difference was chased to only 2 points in an instant.
At this moment, Kassel on the sidelines couldn't sit still and stood up from the coach's box. Walked to the sidelines.
The Clippers also knew they had to press the Suns' comeback quickly, or else the game would fly off like a boiled duck.
On the Clippers' offensive round, Paul held the ball at the top of the arc and reached out to make a "3" gesture.
Tang Shuai said hello to Brewer. The two of them began to run around the bottom line.
After playing so many games, Tang Shuai is also very experienced, and he sees that the Suns' defensive focus is on his side. Immediately went back in circles, and this sudden run and tactics caught Tucker, who was opposite him, off guard.
Opportunity is formed in an instant. Tang Shuai pulled out his legs, and the whole person ran outside the three-point line as soon as he slipped away.
Paul's pass came in no time.
Tang Shuai did not hesitate to make a three-point shot after receiving the ball.
The basketball makes a perfect arc in the air. Falling straight down towards the basket.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, a three-point shot.
The fans at the scene suddenly burst into excited cheers, and at the critical moment, Tang Shuai stood up, and the three-point shot was as stable as a shooting machine.
"Beautiful!"
Ke Fan in Tencent's live broadcast room and Qin Yujie in the dormitory shouted excitedly almost at the same time.
This one-pointer is so crucial!
The difference of 2 points is back up to 5 points!
After the goal, Tang Shuai also seemed a little excited, shook his hand and beat his chest vigorously, and then stretched out his hand to the audience.
The cheers of the fans at the stadium were even worse, and the entire stadium was mixed with explosive shouts.
The cheers of the fans are equivalent to a buff bonus on the field, and under the leadership of the live DJ, the fans in the stadium let out a deafening "defense" shout.
In the rest of this cheering, the Suns' benches finally panicked, and Paul quickly stole Goodwin's pass and quickly held the ball forward.
What is somewhat familiar with the first quarter is that Tang Shuai and Paul are advancing almost side by side, and the difference is that the Suns retreated this time in addition to Knight, and Goodwin, who was stealed, also caught up later.
2-on-2 at half-time.
When he entered the backcourt of the Suns, Tang Shuai received a pass from Paul and stepped directly on three steps to prepare for a hard shot.
Under the power of purple, Goodwin, who wanted to interfere, was simply powerless, and Knight had to force him to come over when he saw this.
The two of them together, Tang Shuai still couldn't bear it, but after he stepped on the second step, he found space in the air and threw his hand to Paul on the other side.
Paul was only a few steps away from the basket at this time, and after receiving the ball, he didn't encounter the defender, and easily scored 2 points.
The fans at the scene suddenly burst into cheers.
At 5:0, the Clippers played a tough mini-climax, and the score was re-opened to 7 points.
The Suns had to call a timeout.
With less than two minutes left before the game, the game is pretty much a sure thing as long as the Clippers can hold on to that advantage.
"CP3, wait a while for you to attack from this point, Don, you continue to run from the bottom corner, attract the Suns' wing defense, Blake, your blocking and pick-and-roll must be in place......" Cassel is making tactical arrangements to the players quickly, and he can see that the game is playing at this point, and he is also a little nervous, after all, if this game is won, it will be a real 6-game winning streak.
Tang Shuai wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel, the team was in good shape during this period of time, and it had been a long time since he had played this kind of last-minute game.
And the moral of this game is also very ordinary, although Hornacek's doubts have been proven wrong by his performance on the field, but if he can't win the final game, then everything is empty.
"That's it, do you understand?!" Cassel finally asked the team a loud question.
"Clear!" The team members also responded loudly at this time.
Cassel stretched out his hand at this point, waited until the players folded their hands one by one, and shouted cheers, even if it was the end of the timeout.
At this time, the timeout also came, and the referee blew the whistle to signal the players of both sides to re-enter the field.
Tang Shuai was also ready to go to the field at this time.
At this moment, Billups suddenly grabbed him, and then, in his puzzled face, said, "You're one more assist away from getting a double-double." (To be continued.) )
