Chapter 270: The Last Assist (Plus More!) )
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment and didn't react, until Billups stretched out his finger and pointed to the scoreboard, he realized that Billups was talking about his technical statistics.
He nodded, and walked off to the field.
Still one assist double-double?
Because the game suddenly became intense, he really didn't notice it.
The timeout came back and the Suns attacked.
Hornacek brought the main players on the field at this time, ready to fight one last time.
The Suns' offense, Bledsoe broke through to the inside and scored 2 points, although he sat off the court for most of the quarter, but this can still show his ability.
It's just that when he broke through, he used some too much force, and when he fell, he accidentally twisted his foot, and he was immediately replaced by Knight.
This is just a small episode of the game, Bledsoe had a sprain before, and I don't know how it hurt this time, but his breakthrough successfully helped the Suns chase the difference back to 5 points, and with about 2 minutes left in the game, the Suns still retained the hope of chasing points.
The Clippers' offense, Paul advanced to the front court with the ball, and he deliberately pressed the time after he arrived in the front court, and it was the Suns who were more anxious at this time.
Sure enough, seeing Paul on the outside for a long time, Hornacek looked up at the dwindling time, and finally couldn't help but shout at Jones and let him go up to the bag.
Although it has a certain gambling nature, it is obviously more promising than Paul's time-consuming and slow death.
Jones pounced, and Paul quickly passed the ball to Don Shuai.
Tang Shuai saw the opportunity and hit the ground with one hit. Directly to the inside line of the Griffin.
At this time, Chandler on the inside came to the defense, and Griffin threw the ball into the air. Little Jordan came directly to an air relay.
With a loud "bang", Little Jordan pulled out the mountains and rivers to cover the world. It's a brave slam dunk again.
The Clippers stretched the deficit back to seven points.
Cassel couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes burst into light, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the team's performance just now.
In contrast, Billups, who was standing next to Cassel, showed a look of regret, and he looked up at the timer again, and it could be seen that he hoped that Tang Shuai could get the last assist.
The game on the court continued, and the Suns were also tenacious and played fast. Knight, who had a good performance in the game, quickly cut into the basket and scored two points in a big loop between Griffin and Jordan Jr.
When Knight was still on the Bucks, he repeatedly became the background emperor because he dared to block other people's dunks, but it was precisely because of this fearless courage that he was able to play better and better.
At this time, there is less than a minute and a half left in the game, and the Clippers' offensive wave is very crucial, if it can be basically decided. On the contrary, if it improves and the Bucks score again, then the game will be suspenseful again, and then I am afraid it will be a free throw shootout.
Paul got the ball to the perimeter. It's still time to beat.
At this time, Hornacek did not dare to let Jones go out to make up for the defense, and at this time, if he had another opportunity like just now. Then the game will be decided in advance.
Paul held the clock until there were less than 10 seconds left, and reached out to signal Griffin to come over and block it.
Billups, who was far away in the other half, saw the scene. I couldn't help but shake my head again.
At this time, Paul pressed the time to play the last attack, and Tang Shuai's two pairs were basically missed.
He sat back in the dugout, disappointed.
Paul took advantage of Griffin's pick-and-roll. wanted to break into the interior, but at this time, the Suns' defensive focus was all on Paul, and after this block, Paul was met with a double defense.
It can be seen that in the final moments, the Suns are betting that Paul will attack.
However, the reason why Paul can be called one of the best point guards in the league, his ability to read the game is one of the top in the league, after noticing the Suns' bag defense, he threw the ball into the hands of Tang Shuai on the outside.
Tang Shuai was outside the three-point line on the outside at this time, and there was no defender in front of him, so he raised his hand to shoot.
At this time, Reddick on the other side gave up Brewer and rushed directly to Tang Shuai.
At this time, there are only less than 5 seconds left in the offensive time, as long as Tang Shuai is saved, this wave of attack will basically be completely defended.
Reddick is still some distance away from Tang Shuai, and at this time, as long as Tang Shuai makes a ruthless move, Reddick still has no time to defend.
Tang Shuai also knew this, so he still maintained a three-point shooting posture.
But just as he was about to make a move, he noticed Brewer running towards the basket, and he changed his mind and threw the ball forward with both hands.
If this ball was changed to before this game, Tang Shuai received the ball at that position, Brewer had basically given up running, after all, Tang Shuai's three-point shot was very graspable, and second, based on Tang Shuai's performance in previous games, that kind of opportunity was unlikely to pass, but all this changed with this game, so he believed that Tang Shuai could pass the ball, so he was watching and running.
Things were similar to what he expected, just as he was running under the basket, Tang Shuai threw a fastball directly over.
There are less than 2 seconds left in the game.
He almost grabbed the ball, then jumped straight up, followed by a shot from the board.
The moment he made the shot, the lights on the sidelines were almost on.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the board and bounced off a bit.
"Huh!"
Fall steadily into the net bag.
Brewer hits the whistle!
The Clippers' lead is back to 7 points! In less than a minute!
"Well done!" Billups excitedly stood up from the coach's seat, waved his hand and shook his fist violently, just when he was about to give up, just now, Tang Shuai successfully delivered the last assist.
After all, there is only one Maddy, and with 7 points behind and less than a minute of time, it is too difficult for the Suns to turn the tables around.
Coming back from the last timeout, the Suns naturally hit Redick.
And this strategic intent, both Cassel and Billups guessed, and the result can be imagined, as Redick's shot jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Griffin, the game was basically declared over.
The fouls the Suns struggled with in the final moments also didn't help.
At 101:92, the Clippers withstood the Suns' crazy comeback in the last quarter and finally won the game without danger.
In this game, Tang Shuai changed his previous style of play and played 30 minutes in the whole game, but in the end he only made 7 shots, scored 12 points and also delivered a career-high 10 assists, which was also the first double-double of his career.
Following on from his last 30+ chuck, he set another historic milestone for himself in his rookie season.
