Batum's choice at this time is still very correct, at this time, the two remaining players of the Hornets, one is Hawes who is entangled with Smith under the basket, and PJ Hairston is outside the left three-point line, responsible for defending Stephenson.

Jeremy Lin was fast, and in the blink of an eye, he and Zeller formed a Griffin bag.

Griffin was playing hard inside at this time, and was almost stealed by Jeremy Lin, he grabbed the ball quickly, and naturally fell into a dead ball state.

"Blake!" Tang Shuai shouted at the three-point line at this time.

When Griffin heard the shout, he raised his eyes and saw Tang Shuai who was desperately waving outside the three-point line on the right side.

Tang Shuai received the ball forward with both hands, and then immediately made a three-point shooting pose.

After Jeremy Lin went to wrap Griffin, Tang Shuai was already in a completely empty state at this time, but I have to admit that although Griffin's response ability is very good, it is only a very good level, and the level of the purple skill pack has obviously not reached the ability range of Paul's exclusive skill pack, if Tang Shuai hadn't shouted at this time, he would not have passed the ball.

It is precisely because of Tang Shuai's shout that the Hornets have adjusted their defense, although Jeremy Lin's best steal failed to successfully block Griffin's ball, but Batum has successfully moved from the top of the arc to the right side at the moment when Tang Shuai made a shot, and at the moment when Tang Shuai was about to shoot, he had already run forward, accelerated with his right foot, and flew towards the ball with his big hand.

He is ready to jump, as long as Tang Shuai dares to make a move, this ball will definitely be a big blow in the head.

Tang Shuai smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth at this time, but he clearly knew that Batum was the owner of the purple cover bag, and it was impossible for him to shout just now without attracting the attention of this "French Pippen", his three-point shot was simply to divert the focus of defense.

He suddenly retracted his three-point shot.

Batum was startled, he didn't expect Tang Shuai's action just now to be a feint, you must know that Tang Shuai is just a rookie, but I have to say that his body reacts quickly, after perceiving that Tang Shuai did not have the intention of shooting three points, he braked suddenly, stunned to retract his forward body, stopped in front of Tang Shuai, and then pressed the whole person up.

He believes that with his defensive ability, Tang Shuai will not have a chance to shoot.

It is also true that after Batum's slender body came up, Tang Shuai obviously no longer had any offensive opportunities, even if Maddie pulled out the bag, in the face of a top defensive player like Batum, it was a very low grasp, not to mention whether he could take the first step is still a question.

But in fact, Tang Shuai didn't mean to shoot or attack by himself at all, and at the moment when Batum covered it, he threw the ball to the top of the arc directly with his hand.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Batum was startled and turned his head quickly, but it was too late.

Pierce had been standing at the top of the arc for a full five seconds at this point, his center of gravity slightly back, and he was ready for a possible defensive counterattack.

Years of experience told him that a rookie like Tang Shuai was not capable enough to deal with this situation.

But just when he was about to take a step back, he saw that the basketball was actually passed out of Tang Shuai's hands, and more importantly, he didn't see Tang Shuai turn his head at all!

How is this possible?! Could it be that Tang Shuai has been hiding his passing ability before?

However, doubts are doubts, Pierce did not hesitate at all, and after receiving the ball, he raised his hand to make a three-point shot, leaving no chance for the other players of the Hornets to make up for the defense.

The truth strikes, and the knife falls.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Pierce hit the Clippers' first goal of the second quarter, which was obviously cleaner than the somewhat constipated offense in the first quarter.

The moment the ball was scored, the fans at the scene suddenly erupted into a burst of cheers, not for anything else, just because of the ball just now, Tang Shuai's pass without looking at people is the highlight of the attack just now.

"Tang Shuai's pass is very exciting, his style of play is still very smart, he knows his status in the team, tries not to shoot, and creates opportunities for big brother Pierce." Yang Yi, who commented on the seat, commented on Tang Shuai's pass at this time.

"Well, this assist is indeed very exciting, but I just don't know if Tang Shuai can contribute some other performances for us next, such as scoring a point or something." Yu Jia's expectations for Tang Shuai are obviously high.

"This ...... It's hard to say, Tang Shuai is a rookie after all, and the NBA's shooting rights are still very strictly distributed, and if he wants to score, this depends on the opportunity. Compared with Yu Jia, Yang Yi's expectations are obviously much lower.

When retreating, Pierce took the initiative to shout at Tang Shuai: "Good pass!" ”

Tang Shuai also replied with a smile: "Accurate shooting!" ”

Pierce smiled at him, then turned back.

Tang Shuai also retreated to his defensive position, Pierce is a very calm person in the Clippers, and rarely takes the initiative to praise anyone like just now, it is obvious that his pass just now really made the truth feel amazing, and even a little shocked, but in fact, under the premise of not having a high-level pass package, the pass he just now completely relied on prediction and blocking, he predicted that Zeller could not prevent Griffin, predicted that Jeremy Lin would help defend, and blocked Batum would come to make up for him.

It turned out that he was on the right track.

In the Clippers' defensive round, Batum gave Jeremy Lin a pick-and-roll, and Jeremy Lin accelerated and rushed inside.

Tang Shuai knew that Jeremy Lin had a purple breakthrough bag, and he couldn't prevent it alone, let alone this blocking and dismantling cooperation, so when Batum blocked and dismantled, he had already screamed at Smith behind him, so the assistance defense was formed at the first time, and Jeremy Lin rushed into the situation of a double bag and could only pass the ball to Hairston on the outside.

Hairston wasn't Pierce, he was also empty, and his shot after adjusting it still popped out of the box.

The rebound was forced down by Griffin under the basket, and after only grabbing four rebounds in the previous game, he obviously didn't want to lose too many rebounds in this game.

The ball soon came to Tang Shuai's hands again, and he controlled the ball and carefully carried it forward.

Perhaps it was because of that magical pass just now, Jeremy Lin observed the movement of his teammates behind him from time to time in the process of retreating, so the defensive pressure exerted was not great.

Tang Shuai successfully advanced to the frontcourt, still in the same tactical position, and the other three members of the Clippers pulled enough offensive space, so even if the Hornets predicted the offensive intentions of the Clippers, there was still no good way.

Griffin glanced up and saw that there was no one to help, so he pouted his ass and began to push inside, but with the experience of the previous round, his eyes glanced out from time to time, and he obviously had an extra heart.

Zeller was about to cry, in the first few minutes he played, it was Smith who was opposed, although Smith was about the same strength as Griffin, but Smith seemed to prefer shooting, so he was obviously a lot easier to defend, but now, Griffin was so hard that it was almost killing him.
