Chapter 438: Blood Abuse
After the timeout, Tang Shuai deliberately adjusted the offensive method, and he began to use his threat on the offensive end to assist his teammates, and after delivering three assists in a row, the game was also nearing the end, and in the final moments, he also took advantage of the Warriors' defensive laxity to score another goal.
28 points and 5 assists, this is Tang Shuai's contribution in a single quarter, compared to the first time he used a single consumption package with the Spurs, he has a very significant improvement.
Under his shocking performance, the Clippers scored 42 points in a single quarter, and the score of 42-21 seemed to make the fans at the scene shocked, it is hard to imagine that this is on the home court of the Warriors, and the side behind is the defending champion, you must know that there is this kind of score before, then the leader will definitely be the Warriors.
Tang Shuai was not replaced by Pierce until the last few seconds of the first quarter of the game, he was almost tired, forced to walk to the sidelines, and sat on the bench with his butt and gasped violently.
"Are you alright?" Paul, who was in the back row, saw him and got up and asked with concern.
Tang Shuai nodded, and he couldn't speak a little hard.
"You should have taken a break earlier." Paul followed.
Tang Shuai barely squeezed out a smile, the reason why he didn't go out was impossible to say.
Paul tapped him on the shoulder, then sat back down.
Coming back in the second quarter, Kerr was replaced by Thompson in the opening game, and Thompson was playing with four benches.
Originally, Thompson's two fouls were extremely unfavorable for the Warriors, but facing the Clippers' bench lineup at this time, it gave him a great opportunity, and as soon as the second quarter came up, he scored repeatedly, and the Warriors rose quickly.
The cheers of the fans at the scene also overshadowed the waves with Thompson's scoring. The Warriors are a notoriously tenacious team, winning many games during their 24-game winning streak, so even after trailing by more than 20 points in the first quarter, they still believe the home team can come back, and Thompson's performance on the court is a sign of that.
The second quarter played more than 3 minutes. The score on the court became 30-45, and with Thompson's leadership, the Warriors had closed the margin to 15 points.
"Coach, let me play." Tang Shuai stood up at this time and said, although the effect of a single consumption package has passed, but the deterrent effect of his performance in the first quarter is still there, even if he goes up and does not attack at this time, it will allow the team to regain the initiative, not to mention that he himself has an AI exclusive corssover bag.
Cassel nodded. turned around and pointed at Brewer and Tang Shuai, and directly asked them to come on as a substitute.
When Tang Shuai walked towards the technical desk, he unconsciously turned his head to look at the place where Su Mei was, because of the angle, he looked at this position, and the first person he saw was not Su Mei, but Zhu Shan?
Wearing a pink dress, it is still the familiar two small braids. was staring at him intently, not who Zhu Shan was.
When the two of them look at each other. Zhu Shan's face turned red as soon as she "swooped", and immediately lowered her head.
Zhu Shan's appearance surprised Tang Shuai, but he quickly continued to look up at Su Mei.
Su Mei had a worried look on her face, and she could see that she had seen it all after he finished the first quarter.
In order not to worry her, Tang Shuai stretched out his hand and made an "ok" gesture to indicate that he was fine.
"Toot!"
The whistle blew on the sidelines. The game goes to dead-ball time and players are substituted.
Tang Shuai turned around and walked in both directions with Brewer, replacing Booker and Ismael Smith.
Tang Shuai went up and patted Booker's hands and said, "Good job." Tuck your shirt into your pants a little tighter, and then go on the court.
The Clippers' offense, Brewer went to the baseline and sent the ball directly to Tang Shuai, who advanced to the front court with the ball.
The Warriors' lineup at this time is Barbosa, Thompson, Rush, Speights and Azeri.
The Clippers' lineup on this side is Don Shuai, Brewer, Green, Josh Smith and Aldridge.
After Tang Shuai advanced to the frontcourt, he directly beckoned Smith to come up and make a block, and then took advantage of the situation to hit the inside, and the Warriors' contraction was immediately retracted, and he saw this scene directly with an emergency stop, Maddy pulled the bag and activated it, and the two-point shot hit steadily.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and Tang Shuai's score immediately reminded them of the fear of being dominated in the first quarter.
Without saying a word, Kerr directly replaced Livingston and Iguodala on the court, which is the Warriors' strongest defensive formation at the moment, and it can be seen that he has been released, and he will never let Tang Shuai score as much as he wanted in the first quarter.
On the offense of the Warriors, Speights hit Smith with his back inside and hit a two-pointer from the back.
This is a microwave-type player who can score points on the court and can score consecutive points in a short period of time with super high efficiency.
The Warriors had no problem attacking this quarter.
When it came to the Clippers' offensive round, Tang Shuai held the ball over half court, and the Warriors immediately changed their defensive formation, Livingston and Thompson directly surrounded them, and now Booker and Pierce are not on the court, they dare to be unscrupulous.
“defense!”
The shouts of the audience at the scene were also deafening, and I didn't know if it was really to cheer for the home team, but because it was because of the fear of Tang Shuai in my heart.
Tang Shuai saw the bag clip and passed the ball to Brewer's hand in advance.
As soon as the ball was out, Barbosa immediately turned around to make up for it.
The opportunities on the basketball court were fleeting, Brewer's three-point shot was inconsistent and he didn't dare to shoot, he hesitated a little, and Barbossa's supplementary defense followed.
Thompson was pestering Tang Shuaide at this time, and he was not ready to give him another chance to catch the ball.
Tang Shuai immediately started to run to Brewer's side, Thompson stalked him, and his movements were a little big, and it could be seen that Thompson had made up his mind to prevent him.
Tang Shuai was overjoyed when he saw this, what he was afraid of was that Thompson would not guard against him.
He ran to Brewer's side, beckoned to the ball, and tried to squeeze Thompson away while doing so.
Where would Thompson let him succeed, went around to his and Brewer's side, pushed him back hard, and the two of them "banged" full of physical confrontation.
Tang Shuai was a little annoyed by his direct actions. The two of them were directly entangled together.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle blew and he gestured at Thompson.
Thompson defensive foul!
When the referee's whistle blew, the shouts of the fans were heard at once, and when the referee's decision came out, the whole stadium exploded.
"Black Whistle! Black Whistle! ”
The invective was overwhelming, as if they wanted to swallow the referee alive.
Cole also ran to the sidelines. The referee kept theorizing about something, and his face was quite excited.
Kerr is the representative of the gentle coaches of the league, and seeing his performance like this at this time, it is obvious that he has a big opinion about this decision.
In fact, this penalty belongs to the kind that can be blown or not, but in fact, Tang Shuai's shocking performance in the first quarter also shocked the referee, they have subconsciously treated Tang Shuai as a superstar, and Thompson's defensive action is also a bit big. Coupled with Tang Shuai's annoyed expression, in order to avoid conflicts, it is understandable to blow this foul.
In fact, Kerr will be so excited not because of the penalty itself, but because this is Thompson's third personal foul, which has only been played for a few minutes, and he is feeling hot, but he is about to end the game in the blink of an eye. This is another coach who probably can't stand it.
Wharton hurried up and pulled Cole away, if the argument continued. The referee's T is coming soon.
After being pulled away, Kerr lowered his head and cursed two words in a row, and then pointed to Rush, who had just been replaced, to get him back on the court.
Thompson looked extremely annoyed, lowered his head and walked directly to the bench, even his teammates didn't hear him say hello, and after sitting down, he took the staff towel and wiped his face. It slammed into the ground.
Tang Shuai's attention had returned to the court, and he didn't expect the referee's blow penalty to be so decisive, but he knew that Thompson's action was so big, and it was only a matter of time before he fouled.
In fact, the two fouls in the first quarter were actually a ticking time bomb. And Thompson, as a famous star, was suddenly turned into a sieve by him in the first quarter, and his face was hung anywhere, so it is normal to fight on the defensive end, and when these two factors are combined, it is difficult not to foul.
As soon as Thompson went, the Warriors' offensive firepower suddenly decreased a lot, and in order to prevent Tang Shuai, the players on the court were stronger in defense than in offense, so the result was that scoring became like squeezing toothpaste, and in turn, the Clippers had Tang Shuai's containment on the court, and after replacing Booker and Pierce on the court, the team suddenly became a soldier.
72-45, after the first half, the Clippers scored 72 in the half, breaking the record of 67 points set against the Warriors in 2014, and the score between the two sides stretched to an astonishing 27 points.
With the accumulation of the first half, the Clippers have built a mountain between themselves and the Warriors, and the Warriors must climb this mountain if they want to catch up with the score, which is obviously not an easy thing to do.
120-108, although the Warriors played well in the second half and even made a strong comeback, the hole they dug before was too big, and without Curry, it was obviously unrealistic for them to fill this hole in the half.
After the game, Tang Shuai once again harvested a single consumption package, he contributed 43 points and 7 assists in 18 of 29 shots in this game, in fact, after cutting 28 points in the first quarter, only 15 points in the next three quarters is already a very small score, which has something to do with the Warriors' desperate inclusion of him, and also has something to do with his intention to organize teammates.
Regardless, the 43-point score surpassed the 39 he scored in his last game against the Rockets, and thus set a new playoff record for the Clippers rookie.
The Clippers led the game with a 27-point margin and beat the Warriors on the road, marking the first loss of the first leg of a series since Kerr coached the Warriors.
It was definitely a memorable moment for the Warriors of the Kerr era, and for the Clippers, it meant a lot more than that.
