Tang Shuai was replaced with a minute left at the end of the quarter, he was out of breath, and he scored 12 points in a single quarter, and his physical exertion was also quite large at this time.

When he got off the field, he noticed that Booker's mood was very wrong, his expression was blank, and when he was about to arrive, Booker even covered his head with a towel and kept shaking his head.

Booker's first quarter was pretty bad, shooting just 1-of-7, and the first playoff start was pretty bad for the potential rookie.

Tang Shuai walked down to the bench and sat down, turned his head and patted Booker on the shoulder.

Booker felt someone patting him, ripped off the towel and saw that it was Tang Shuai, and barely squeezed out a smile.

Tang Shuai opened his mouth and said: "Devon, relax, the game has just begun, don't be nervous." ”

Booker nodded, but the frustration on his face didn't go away.

"Devon, we need your performance, I'm not encouraging you, but I hope you can take on this responsibility, Sam chose to believe in you, you can't live up to this trust." Tang Shuai said in an accentuated tone.

Booker was stunned and looked at Tang Shuai blankly.

"Although I am a rookie like you, I know that as a shooter, no matter how much you don't feel in front, you will not hesitate to shoot when the opportunity comes out, which is the determination that a shooter needs, and it is also a point that must be done, self-confidence is the most critical part of shooting." Tang Shuai looked directly at Booker and said.

Booker thinks all about it.

"We need your shooting ability now, you have to show your shooting ability, otherwise we're going to lose this game, you're playing an irreplaceable role, you have to have the confidence to do it well, you have to do it well, there's no time to be frustrated, you know what I mean?" Tang Shuai said bluntly that in the Warriors game, he was also as depressed as Booker, but after experiencing the game, he already knew that if he wanted to win, he must first have a winning spirit in his heart.

Interestingly, the last time he realized this was Booker, who was in frustration at this time.

After feeling that Booker was a little moved, he continued: "Do you remember the first game with the Warriors, you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, whether you win or lose, whether you score or not, you just play hard, now you need to show that momentum, whether it is a starter or a substitute, it doesn't matter if we get to this point, we can afford to lose the game, but we can't afford to lose the momentum." ”

"I get it, I'll do it." Booker pressed his fist and said, it could be seen that after Tang Shuai's words of encouragement, he had basically come out of his frustration.

"When the opportunity comes out, the defense goes to shoot, and no one will blame you." Tang Shuai finally patted him on the shoulder and said.

In the second quarter, the Clippers' bench played with great momentum, and in fact, after eliminating the Warriors, their self-confidence and ability have been greatly improved.

After more than three minutes in the second quarter, Donovan saw that he couldn't further open the score, so he directly replaced Durant and Westbrook on the court.

Donovan is a coach from the NCAA, and the NCAA knockout rounds are much more brutal than the NBA series, and they are all a winner-loser, which also creates his style of employing people, as long as you can still play, it will never give you an extra minute of rest.

Durant and Westbrook returned, and Cassel followed suit, except for Green, who played well on the court, and all the other starters were replaced.

"Fight well." When he was on the court, Tang Shuai specially admonished Booker again.

Booker nodded, and there was no trace of frustration on his face, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

Coming back from the timeout, the Thunder scored 40-29 points, and the Thunder still held a double-digit point difference.

It's the Clippers' offense.

Tang Shuai held the ball to the frontcourt, and it was still Westbrook and his opposite.

He reached out and made a pick-and-roll on Jordan Jr., and through the pick-and-roll, he went straight to the basket.

The Thunder's defensive formation was immediately forced to shrink inside, and he saw the opportunity and threw his hand to Booker, who had been waiting on the outside.

Booker catches the ball and makes a quick three-point shot.

The shot was a little hasty, and the three-point shot hit the rebound and bounced high and went out of bounds.

Thunder's possession.

Booker shook his head helplessly, and Tang Shuai ran over at this time and said, "Don't be discouraged, remember what I said to you earlier." ”

Booker nodded, turned and went into defense.

The Thunder's offense is the same as the Clippers' offense, Westbrook gave the ball to Durant, and Durant was unrelenting, raising his hand to hit a big two-point shot to help the Thunder extend their lead to 13 points.

The fans cheered as the pace of the game finally returned to the way it had been.

Tang Shuai is still a breakthrough, this time he chose to go to the basket, in the face of Adams' defense, he was quite tough, directly pressed the layup and hit it, helping the team bite the score.

Adams' defense was very fierce, although Tang Shuai hit a layup, his chest was inevitably hit a few times, and he gasped several times before he recovered.

When Booker saw Tang Shuai's performance, he was unmoved, and his hands clenched into fists.

The Thunder's offense, Durant blocked and beat Booker in a misplaced position.

As soon as this dislocation came out, the cheers at the scene were deafening, Booker performed so badly, Durant hit him hard.

Durant apparently thought the same way, and after starting to play back, he reached out and motioned for his teammates to pull away.

One hit, two hits, Durant felt almost the same, and then turned around to make a layup.

"Smack!"

Just as he turned, Booker slapped the ball off Durant's dribble.

Durant's light attack on this shot cost him.

After Booker stealed, he directly threw the ball to Tang Shuai on the outside, Tang Shuai accelerated and rushed forward, and after entering the backcourt of the Thunder team, in the face of Westbrook's defense, it was directly a back pass to Brewer, who was following up.

Brewer scored a fast-break layup to help the team chase the score to single digits!

"Devin is quite tough, and it seems that a break between the quarters allowed the rookie to finally find a way to play, and that is to start on the defensive end." The guest commentator, "Magic" Johnson, spoke.

"The injuries to CP3 and Blake have really made the Clippers gain a lot, two quality outside players, and next season may be a happy season of troubles." The home commentator chimed in.

The Thunder's offense, Durant hit Brewer with his back, and this time he was obviously on guard, turning around for a layup, using an extraordinary arm span advantage to score two more points for the team.

The score was once again stretched to double digits, and this period of time seemed to be a hurdle, and the Clippers stepped over again and again, but were pushed out again and again.

Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, and without saying a word, a continuous change of direction shook and directly pressed Westbrook inside.

With the lessons learned from the previous round, the Thunder's defense naturally shrank inside.

Just when Tang Shuai broke through, Booker took advantage of Brewer's block and ran to the top of the arc.

Tang Shuai accelerated again, and slammed the ball back to the ground during the run.

With a "bang", the basketball followed to the outside line and fell to Booker's position impartially.

Booker was obviously stable this time, and after receiving the ball, he did not choose to make a hasty shot directly like last time, but adjusted his position before making a shot.

Robertson went around the pick-and-roll to make a pave, but it was too late.

The basketball flew out of Booker's hand and flew straight towards the basket, falling straight down amid an uproar from the fans.

"Huh!"

Out of three!

Booker hit his first three-pointer of the game, and the margin was chased to 8 points!

After the goal, Booker looked very excited, shook his fist extremely hard, and shouted a word starting with F in his mouth.

Tang Shuai looked back and saw Booker's excited expression, and also showed a happy look, Booker's recovery is definitely good news for the current Clippers.

The Thunder's offense, Westbrook missed a layup, but Ibaka scored a layup.

Green still struggled to defend Ibaka, especially when he was stuck inside.

The Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai held the ball to the frontcourt, and it was another second pass to Booker, who shook Robertson and followed a large two-point shot.

"Wow" and go in!

Donovan couldn't stand still, and took advantage of the effort of serving to pull Robertson directly to his ear for a while.

The Thunder's offense was futile, with the Clippers' tight defense.

Looking back, Tang Shuai made a quick breakthrough to connect the two of them, and smashed the Thunder's defensive formation.

He saw the opportunity and hit the ball back to Booker on the perimeter.

This time, Robertson posted it very well, sealing Booker's shot space.

However, what people didn't expect at all was that maybe it was the continuous hits that made Booker's self-confidence swell, and after he glanced at the bad passing opportunities, he directly chose Yan. Shoot!

Roberson pounced strongly, Booker was completely unmoved, and faced the defense with a dry three-point shot.

The basketball flew past Robertson's fingertips and flew straight towards the basket.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and this kind of ball was too big.

After the basketball crosses the highest point in the air, it falls straight towards the basket.

"Huh!"

A crisp sound echoed through Ford Center, and there was silence like never before.

Booker is really in!

After the goal, Booker completely looked like a crazy guy, slapping his chest with both hands, and he was a gorilla, which formed a great contrast with the beauty of his face.

But it was this contrast that stunned the fans in the stadium.

Tang Shuai turned around and gave Booker a thumbs up, Booker's three-point shot helped the team narrow the gap to 5 points, from 9 points to 5 points, because of the strong play of the Thunder team, the point difference recovered was not much, but the momentum played was completely different from before.

Donovan called a timeout, he didn't expect Booker to explode so suddenly, with his knowledge of the Clippers, the main scoring point is Tang Shuai alone.
