Chapter 432: Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly

Crawford stood on the baseline with the ball in his hand at this time, and when he saw that the players on both sides did not move, he picked up the whistle on his chest and followed it.

The referee has absolute authority in the game, let alone the referee, and Crawford's whistle, even if the Rockets players have many complaints, they can only go to both sides of the free throw line.

Bickerstaff is also constantly making personnel adjustments at this time, replacing Capela on the court, and coming to a three-interior lineup, which seems to be ready to grab this key rebound.

You must know that in the previous key round, Tang Shuai also did not score a 2+1 penalty kick, if he had scored in the front, then the goal just now would have been a lore.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath, it was exactly the same scene as more than a minute ago, the difference was that the goal would be decisive, scored, 99% chance of winning, if not, overtime would be played.

Crawford made a "1" gesture to him and then threw the ball to him.

Tang Shuai hadn't received the ball yet, and the fans in front of him had already kept shaking the air stick in their hands, not only these people, but the whole stadium was full of interference, and the decibels of the sound had reached the point of harshness.

Not to mention Tang Shuai, the other players all showed some uncomfortable looks on their faces.

Tang Shuai caught the ball and took a deep breath.

He took a long breath and forgot all the noise around him, and his attention was all focused on the basket.

He couldn't hear the noise around him, but he could hear the "thumping" of his heart.

He took another deep breath, took the ball and dribbled twice on the spot, followed by a jump shot.

The green free throw package is no longer a guarantee of a critical hit rate. He'd rather believe Maddie's dry pull.

The scene was stunned, no one expected Tang Shuai to choose a jump shot at the last moment.

The basketball flew out of Tang Shuai's hand. Then he flew straight towards the basket.

The noisy interference disappeared the moment Tang Shuai made his move, and everyone's eyes on the scene looked at the ball. Unblinking, his eyes were all staring at the whirling ball.

"Gollum!"

Some fans couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Bickerstaff involuntarily clenched his fist, but soon, his eyes slowly widened, and a look of despair appeared in his eyes.

The basketball began to fall, flying diagonally towards the basket.

"Huh!"

The basketball hits the basket in an arc of almost 45 degrees!

Free throws, in!

The Clippers completed the comeback in the last 1.2 seconds! They trailed their opponents by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter!

The game isn't over yet, and the Rockets don't have a timeout.

Howard stood under the basket with the ball, and Harden and Terry sprinted toward the frontcourt.

There's one last shimmer of chance.

Howard saw the opportunity and threw it in Harden's direction.

"Smack!"

As soon as the Howard ball was thrown, Brewer jumped up and slapped it away.

"Toot!"

The final whistle blew.

The Clippers win!

4 to 2! The game did end in six games, as Bickerstaff said. It's just that it's not the Rockets who won, it's the Clippers!

The Clippers advance to the Western Conference semifinals!

"I don't know what to say anymore, it's a great win." Barkley looked at the game in front of him, and he didn't know what to say with excitement.

The Clippers defeated their opponents on the Rockets' home court without Paul and Griffin without Griffin!

They won the series! In the absence of being favored by everyone!

Brewer, who shot the last ball, was extremely excited, rushed to Tang Shuai's side and hugged him, and then the players on the Clippers court and the bench all rushed onto the court.

Tang Shuai followed and was lifted up. Then he was thrown into the air by his teammates.

They have no matter where this is, this victory deserves to be celebrated in any way!

The Rockets players looked at the celebrating Clippers players, their eyes full of envy and unwillingness, especially Harden. His body trembled slightly, and his emotions were a little broken.

On the other side of the pitch, Paul and Griffin looked at each other. The corners of the eyes do not feel pantothenic.

Their emotions are beyond words.

Tang Shuai fulfilled his promise, at the last moment. Won the game with a super tough attitude, and also won the series.

It doesn't get any better than that. It's even more worthy of a touching ending.

"There will be a place for him in the future of the alliance." Finally, Barkley looked at Tang Shuai and said with emotion on his face.

At this moment, Tang Shuai has already broken out of the cocoon and turned into a butterfly.

When Tang Shuai was thrown into the air again, his eyes were snow-white, and then he appeared in the different dimensional space of the packaging system.

"Congratulations to the master, you scored 39 points, just broke Griffin's record for rookie playoff points held by Griffin, and got a single consumption pack with a 20% ability bonus." Xiao Luo ran to him with a happy face, and said with his face almost rubbing against his face.

With the continuous improvement of Tang Shuai's strength, Xiao Luo's attitude towards him has become more and more intimate.

Tang Shuai hadn't recovered from the mood of Team Lore Rocket at this time, and he didn't have time to care about these details, just stared blankly at the single consumption package glowing with golden light in front of him.

The interdimensional space is the same as the human mind, there is no concept of time here, and it just gives him time to calm down his excited emotions.

Xiao Luo saw that Tang Shuai's eyes didn't blink, so he didn't speak again.

"Huh......" After a long while, Tang Shuai took a long breath.

"I didn't break my promise, I really did." He muttered to himself.

"Master, you are the best!" Xiao Luo saw that Tang Shuai came back to his senses, and immediately came up and said.

Tang Shuai was in a very good mood, and after reaching out and touching Xiao Luo's head, he returned to reality.

The Clippers' celebration was nearing its end, after all, it was the home court of the Rockets, and the players knew that it was enough to stop, and after venting for a while, they stopped.

Tang Shuai finally made contact with the other side again at this time.

"Don, you're a hero!"

"Don, you're God tonight!"

……

The team members were full of praise. Tang Shuai was also a little fluttering.

At this moment, he inadvertently turned his head to look at the players of the Rockets. Most of the players had turned around and headed for the locker room after a while, except for Harden. At this time, he was still looking at them unwillingly.

He looked over, and the eyes of the two people were exactly the same.

A strange look flashed in Harden's eyes, and he turned his head and walked towards the locker room.

This is the case in the NBA playoffs, there are always winners and losers, and those who lose can only choose to leave silently.

In the Rockets' post-game press conference, Harden attended the final press conference of their season along with Howard and Bickerstaff.

Killed by the Clippers, their faces weren't too good, especially Bickerstaff. Being eliminated means that he is about to lose his job.

"A game that everyone didn't expect, did this end happen unexpected?" At the press conference, local media from Houston were the first to ask about Bickerstaff.

"It's my fault, I should have called out a timeout earlier in the final stages of the game, the Clippers wouldn't have played that high, and we could have won the game we should have won." Bickerstaff did not answer directly, but took the initiative.

"James, what do you think? Was the final decision controversial? After all, that penalty is equivalent to a direct announcement of the winner of the game. The reporter nodded, and then changed the question to Harden.

Harden's eyes were a little red: "I can't say if there was a problem with the game's decision. Because it's not something I can control, but ......"

He paused and said, "The Clippers' Don played well, without him. We should have won the game easily, but he changed the game. ”

The reporter's eyes widened, and Harden's answer was clearly unexpected. He then asked, "Are you complimenting your opponent's performance?" ”

Harden glanced at the reporter obliquely, frowned slightly, and said, "It's hard to accept losing the game." But I do not deny the facts. ”

Harden's words left the reporter speechless, and he could only sit down. From his answer, it was obvious that Tang Shuai's performance had won his respect from the bottom of his heart.

The Clippers' post-game press conference, which was much more relaxed than the Rockets' press conference, was definitely a joy to have won the series.

In addition to head coach Kassel, there were also Pierce and Tang Shuai, who hit key balls in the game.

"Coach Sam, I'm curious, your tactical deployment at the last moment, let Paul and Don hit key shots in a row, this was arranged in advance, or was it just a coincidence?" The focus of reporters' concerns has shifted from winning or losing the game to how to win.

"It was Paul, he gave me some advice, I took it, and it turned out that he was right." Cassel said with a blunt smile.

'Sam is always a good guy and he's a good manager. Pierce complimented.

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other, and then they couldn't help laughing, and they could feel the atmosphere of the team from this is quite good.

"We saw a rising star today, without CP3, without Blake, Don led the team to win the game with a great performance, and the last time I saw a player with this kind of phenomenal performance in my journalist career was LeBron, and you played really well, Don." The next reporter who was named did not ask a question immediately after getting up, but praised Tang Shuai directly.

Tang Shuai looked very flattered, this was the first time he had encountered this situation at the press conference, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your compliment, my performance is inseparable from Sam and Paul, this game is won by us together, and I am not alone." ”

The reporter smiled and nodded, Tang Shuai's modesty made the reporter have a higher opinion of him, I believe that he will definitely write a highly rated article after he goes back, he then asked: "It is quite difficult to win this game, we can see that the number of free throws made by both sides in this game is 13 to 40, the Rockets have a total of 40 free throws, and they hit 32 of them, is this the main reason for the anxiety of the game?" ”

This reporter is obviously prepared, the last time Tang Shuai publicly questioned the referee's decision after the game, he must have asked such a question based on this.
