Chapter 291: I Can Still Play

"Bang!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Smith received a pass from Booker and met the defense with a powerful aerial relay dunk.

The basket pressed by the whole body trembled, and Thompson accidentally became the background of the crotch.

The cheers of the fans in the stadium were deafening, and the Clippers' lead came to 10 points!

From trailing by 13 points at the most to now exceeding by 10 points, they have completed a 23-point comeback.

“defense!”

Led by DJs, the fans began to cheer for the home team.

The Cavaliers missed another offense, and James went straight to the sidelines, and with less than two minutes of rest at the end of the third quarter, he was back on the line.

On the offense of the Clippers, Smith rushed into the interior like a tank and forced a direct shot against the defending Lefou.

On that night, Smith did an exceptionally good job.

At this moment, the whistle blew on the sidelines, James patted his chest, and then substituted on the court.

James is still the same James, after he came up, the Cavaliers instantly raised a notch in both offense and defense, and the effect of Emperor Zhan's exclusive Buff package was clear at a glance.

James broke through the inside line to attract the bag and share the ball to Lefou, who turned and scored two points lightly on a board.

James defended Smith and forced the latter out of the three-point line, Smith hit a three-point shot, he hit a fast break at the first time, and Mo Williams' tacit pass was seamless, and he followed it with a tomahawk split.

Here, Stephenson staggered to score after receiving the ball, and James turned back and hit Smith directly, and lightly turned and leaned back for the Cavaliers to score two more points.

The DJ kept shouting James' name. This segment became James' personal performance time.

Under his strong play, the Cavaliers almost caught up with the score.

Kassel was forced to switch to the main force in advance.

The two sides immediately fell into a back-and-forth offensive and defensive battle. There was a constant sound of thumping muscles colliding on the field.

The scores of the two sides were constantly alternating leads, and when the game entered the final forty seconds. The battle between the two sides ended in a 97-all.

The competition has entered a completely white-hot stage.

However, Tang Shuai was extremely tormented at this time, in the Christmas war, he could only sit on the sidelines as a spectator most of the time, watching his teammates constantly fighting with his opponents, and the feeling in his heart was very uncomfortable.

This is different from sitting on the cold bench in the Reeves era, when he was pressed and couldn't play, and the dissatisfaction in his heart overshadowed the anxiety, but at this time he couldn't play, and the anxious mood was tormented.

The Cavaliers' offensive round. Amid the cheers of the fans in the stadium, the Clippers' defense was solid, and James tried several times but couldn't break through.

At the critical moment, JR Smith showed his big heart, received a pass from James at the free throw line, stood up to Stephenson's defense, and forced his face. Shoot hit!

"Oh hoo! Big heart! Five best balls! From JR! Barkley shouted loudly that in the final moments of the game, any one goal could change the bet between him and O'Neal.

The Cavaliers led by 2 points. Kassel immediately called a final timeout.

At this time, there are more than twenty seconds left before the end of the game, and the round that will decide the winner or loser.

Tang Shuai also stood up from the bench at this time, he tried to walk for a while, but he didn't feel anything. I tried to trot for a while, but I didn't feel anything particularly big other than a few stings that were within the tolerable range.

"Corey. You'll do the pick-and-roll at this point later, DeAndrew. You have to get the off-ball pick-and-roll in place......" Cassel was moving forward with a quick tactical set-up, and he spoke very quickly. Visibly in a state of tension.

Billups stood and listened, but didn't say anything.

Tang Shuai walked to Billups' side at this time and said, "Coach Chauncey." ”

Billups heard the voice, looked back and saw that it was Tang Shuai, looked at him suspiciously, and then walked out of Kassel's side.

"I can still play." When Billups came out, Tang Shuai said directly.

"Are you sure?" Billups looked at Tang Shuai in surprise, although he also got Tang Shuai from the team doctor This time Tang Shuai's broken foot was not very serious, but after all, he broke his foot.

Tang Shuai saw Billups's doubts, didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and ran back and forth in a short distance.

"I'm sure." Tang Shuai came back from running, let out a sigh, and said.

Billups frowned, then shook his head: "Running off the field and playing on the field are not the same nature at all, you are only slightly injured now, if you play again, the injury is likely to be aggravated, which is worth the loss." ”

As a veteran of 17 seasons in the league, Billups is still very experienced.

"I can play, I don't attack, I just need to play and I can attract the defense!" Tang Shuai said in an accentuated tone.

Of course he knew what Billups said, and he was gritting his teeth when he ran just now, but now the situation is different, and Kassel's tactical arrangement is clearly to play the key ball for Paul.

The key shot of the two-point shot, space is very important, Paul wants to play, the other three-point positions must be able to pull the defender far enough, Jordan Jr. and Griffin don't say, taking away their respective defenders is not a big problem, Brewer should also be able to take James away after blocking, but only the second position is a very key factor.

If the No. 2 position pulls people, he can only pull to the position of the two three-point lines at 45 corners, waiting for possible three-point opportunities at any time, after all, Paul's deterrence on the offensive end is full, and it is completely possible for the Cavaliers to wrap up, if Paul passes the ball to the No. 2 position, then it is a chance to kill at that moment.

Even if the Cavaliers don't defend, a three-point threat No. 2 can be very helpful in opening up space for offense.

But now among the No. 2 players who can play on the Clippers, Booker is too immature, and he doesn't have much grasp of three-point shots at critical moments, Stephenson's three-point shooting rate is average, and Pierce is also resting this time, and there is a big difference between Tang Shuai and not at critical moments.

Kassel's tactics are almost finished, and the timeout is approaching.

"Coach Chauncey! Give me a chance! I don't want to sit and watch the game! Just once! Tang Shuai said almost pleadingly, sitting for a whole half, he was really going crazy.

Billups saw Tang Shuai's determined gaze, nodded, and then turned around and communicated with Kassel.

After a while, Cassel glanced at Tang Shuai in surprise, and then shook his head.

But Billups is still trying to communicate.

It was a long timeout and plenty of time for him.

Not knowing what Billups said, Cassel nodded one last time, and then beckoned to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai saw Kassel's move, his face suddenly became happy, and he ran over quickly. (To be continued.) )
