In the offensive round of the Clippers, Tang Shuai ran out of breath, and after Paul was away, he naturally became the focus of the Rockets' marking, and the double bag appeared from time to time.

Smith gave him a second-by-second pass, and he dummered a shot before handing the ball to Griffin on the inside.

Griffin had Kapera on his back and missed a few hard shots, and was about to hand over the ball, but at that moment, Harden suddenly lunged at him.

"Be careful!" Tang Shuai shouted anxiously.

Griffin hurriedly collected the ball, Harden's hand almost brushed the basketball, and Griffin was shocked into a cold sweat.

“defense！”

The cheers of the fans were deafening, and in the final moments, the home team was completely in a state of madness.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Griffin turned around and came up with a difficult step-back shot.

Capela jumped up to block.

The basketball flew past Capela's fingertips, hitting the frame with a "bang" and jumping high.

Jordan Jr. and Howard under the basket jumped up to ask for the gunboard.

However, after the ball bounced up, it did not go out, but inward, and both of them were about to catch it, and they all took it back.

With a "bang", the basketball bounced to the inner circle of the basket again, bouncing off and rolling into the hoop with luck.

106 to 107!

The difference is only 1 point.

Bickerstaff immediately called a timeout.

"Well done, well done! That's it, defend one more ball and we'll win the game! As soon as the Clippers players got off the court, Cassel shouted at the players.

'One goal, one goal, we scored this goal. We are the winners. Bickerstaff also cheered at the Rockets' players.

The fans at the scene had all stood up from their seats at this time, and no one wanted to miss this last wonderful moment.

After the timeout, the Clippers used full-court pressing, and the Rockets players were completely guarded.

Bickerstaff got McHale's ability to "pour chicken soup", but it was still a little worse tactically, and the ball was not sent out under the strict defense of the Clippers.

Forced. Serving Ariza, called another timeout.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

"Well done! Good job! This is Houston's last timeout, one more ball! Cassel wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to encourage his teammates.

Kassel was a little nervous, and Bickerstaff was completely overly nervous, his forehead was covered with sweat and he couldn't bother to wipe it, holding the tactics board and constantly emphasizing tactics.

Some fans at the scene couldn't help but reach out and pat their chests to relieve the tension in their hearts, no one expected that the game would be played in front of Paul's injury.

When the timeout came back, it was still Ariza's serve.

The Clippers' defense is still tight. The Rockets players tried several times to make unavailable pick-and-rolls.

Seeing that the time passed by a second, and it would be a five-second violation if he couldn't serve the ball again, Ariza shouted and threw the ball out.

Harden turned around and ran out to catch the ball.

But at this moment, Tang Shuai also rushed out desperately, this ball Ariza was very reluctant, and it can even be said that he was standing in a position that was easier to catch the ball than Harden.

Two men with exclusive breakout packs, on the court of the basketball court. A race for speed began.

Harden jumped up first and was about to grab the ball. However, Tang Shuai jumped up from behind and grabbed the ball into his arms.

Compared to the unconfrontational bounce, he is clearly more dominant.

Harden turned around and was about to grab the ball in Tang Shuai's hand, where would Tang Shuai let him succeed, and saw the opportunity to make a long pass through the half.

After Ariza sent the ball, almost all the players ran towards it. At this time, the Rockets' half court can be said to be completely empty, and Brewer, who has broken through with good ideas, took the lead in reacting, and turned around and ran to the basket after seeing Tang Shuai grab the ball.

Don Shuai's long ball passed through the middle of Green and Capela and went straight into Brewer's hands.

Brewer grabbed the ball and dribbled two steps forward, then quickly sent it up.

A stone's throw away. In the empty space, it is difficult for Brewer not to score this goal.

The basketball fell straight into the net bag, quasi-lore!

108 to 107!

The Clippers overtook the game with eight seconds left in the game.

The fans at the scene were messy, and no one expected that after Bickerstaff arranged two tactics, he was stunned and didn't pass a single ball!

The Clippers players were full of excitement on their faces, and if it weren't for the fact that the game wasn't over, they would have hugged Brewer in celebration.

Tang Shuai was the calmest one at this time, he looked up at the time, and then put all his attention on Harden.

"Defend! Defend! Billups suddenly shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Just as Billups yelled, Beverley made a free throw, and Harden held the ball and quickly broke forward.

Tang Shuai followed and retreated to the backcourt, and saw that he was in the backcourt of the Clippers.

Although it was only a blue defensive bag, his judgment was quite accurate, and he stubbornly stood up to Harden and did not let him have a chance to break through head-on or turn around.

Time passed little by little, and the game was about to end.

At this moment, Harden made a super risky move, he pushed Tang Shuai with his right hand, followed the trend to the left and turned sharply, and then stepped back.

Tang Shuai was pushed by Harden for a while, it was not easy to stabilize the center of gravity in the retreat, this was pushed again, it was almost impossible to come up again, he tried his best to pounce forward, and could only watch Harden retreat and shoot.

Shortly after Harden made his shot, the red light on the sideline came on.

The basketball crossed a small parabola at close range and fell straight towards the basket.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Harden threw a night's step back, and the last shot was as steady as before.

Lore! Harden struck the Clippers in the final moments!

The scene was plunged into an explosive boiling sound.

When Tang Shuai saw the ball scored, he immediately found the referee's theory, Harden's goal was beautiful, but the ball obviously pushed him at the end.

The referee exchanged a few words with Tang Shuai, shrugged his shoulders and signaled that the game was over.

Tang Shuai theorized again. The referee simply ignored him completely, so angry that he almost jumped.

At this time, Pierce came over and pulled him, which interrupted him to continue complaining.

"Don, this is the game, there's no point in arguing anymore." After all, Pierce is a man who has come over and knows that this is the home court of the Rockets. The home whistle is always unavoidable.

Billups also walked up to him at this time, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've done a good job, prepare for the next one." ”

Tang Shuai looked up at the score on the field with some unwillingness, shook his fist sharply, and could only retreat to the locker room with the other players.

"!" As soon as he got back to the locker room, he couldn't help but hit the cabinet in a circle, and Paul was injured in the game, but he couldn't defend the last ball.

"Don, Sam told you to take a shower and come with him to the press conference." That's when it happened. A staff member outside the locker room walked to the door and shouted.

Tang Shuai calmed down, answered, and then took a towel into the shower.

The Clippers' locker room was a bit dull, and with Paul injured and finally killed, no one was going to be in a good mood.

Tang Shuai quickly came out of the shower and walked straight to the press conference, even if reason told him that there were some things he couldn't say. But he felt he had to say it.

Just then, he saw Griffin limping from the other side of the passage.

"Blake? Are you okay? "See Griffin's state. Tang Shuai's heart "chuckled" and was half cold, this Paul has been injured, if Griffin is injured again, how can this game continue?

"It's okay, I can hold on, you can go to the press conference quickly. CP3 and Coach Sam are there waiting for you. Griffin said with a smile.

"Well, be careful yourself." After Tang Shuai finished speaking, he walked briskly towards the press conference.

Although it was not at home, the press conference still attracted quite a lot of media, and the most important reason for this was naturally Paul's injury.

Tang Shuai arrived at the press conference. When I saw Paul with a strap in his hand, and then saw the team doctor sitting next to him, my heart was unconsciously cold, and it seemed that Paul was really injured.

Soon after Tang Shuai arrived, the press conference began.

"Coach Sam, we want to know how CP3's injury is and will he be able to play in the next game?" The first reporter to be named didn't hesitate for a moment, and asked straight to the point.

Tang Shuai also turned his head to look at Kassel, and he didn't know what Paul's injury was.

"Well......" Cassel didn't answer immediately, in the face of the eyes of a group of reporters, he wanted to speak several times, and his mood was extremely depressed, and when the reporters said "bother" again, he took a deep breath and said, "CP3's injury is not optimistic, let's let Jett tell everyone." ”

Jett was referring to the Clippers' team doctor, who was more stable than Cassell, but his tone was full of frustration: "CP3's injury was caused by two forces, he was on the court and Patrick grabbed the ball, and the two forces were originally balanced on the ball, but CP3 accidentally slipped at that time, which caused his middle finger to bear most of the force of the two, so our final diagnosis was that the third metacarpal bone of the middle finger was fractured." ”

Hearing Jett's explanation, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar.

After Tang Shuai heard it, he couldn't help but tremble, broken bones? !

Although he didn't know what the third metacarpal was, he knew best about the fracture, it wasn't a dislocation, it wasn't a contusion, it was a fracture!

In China, a fracture can't be cured within a few months, even in the United States, the NBA with first-class medical care, it is impossible to get good without a month.

This also means that Paul is determined to miss the next game with the Rockets, or even the second round......

It's no wonder that reporters have this kind of reaction, without Paul, it is equivalent to directly abolishing half of the Clippers' combat effectiveness.

Paul's eyes were red at this time, and he couldn't help but shake his head, and he could see that he was trying to control his emotions.

"How long will this injury last?" The reporter pressed Jett.

"If you are optimistic, you will be out for about four to six weeks." Jeff groaned for a moment and followed.

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar again, there were many kinds of fractures, and the time period of 4 to 6 weeks was not the most serious, but as soon as the time came out. What it means for others to understand in an instant, a month's time, at that time, basically played to the division finals or even the finals, not to mention whether Paul can come back before this, the possibility of the Clippers playing to this extent without Paul is very small.

In other words, Paul basically said goodbye to the playoffs this season!

"That's it. Does that mean the Clippers' playoff journey is over? This was followed by a very sensitive question.

"No, our playoffs are far from over." Tang Shuai suddenly rushed to say at this time.

Tang Shuai's sudden statement startled the reporter, and the others looked at him in great surprise, even Kassel was surprised, obviously not expecting Tang Shuai to speak at this time.

"Sorry, it was too polite for me to interject suddenly, but I have to say that our playoff journey is far from over and we will fight for CP3. but also to win the next games for the team. Tang Shuai said with a firm gaze, he held these words in his heart for a long time, and at this time he had already seen the tears in Paul's eyes about to come out, if the reporter asked him further, it would be like a knife cut in Paul's heart.

"It's okay, you can ask Don questions." At this time, Kassel saw the reporter's hesitation and spoke.

The reporter nodded, then turned to look at Tang Shuai and said: "We know that the injury of our teammates is a very frustrating thing. Especially when this teammate is still a player of CP3 level, but the reality is sometimes cruel. When the core of the team is absent, both morale and strength will be greatly damaged, and I believe this is a good example of losing seven points in just one minute in today's game. ”

"Just because you lose one game, you think we're going to lose the next games?" Tang Shuai said-for-tat. It is easy to see from the performance of this reporter that this is obviously a reporter from a local media in Houston, and his literacy seems to be very average.

"Not really, but it's a good example." The reporter said in a corner.

"A foul lore ball? Don't you think such examples don't have much reference? Tang Shuai asked unceremoniously.

The reporters at the scene were stunned for a moment, and Tang Shuai bluntly commented on the punishment. And it's in a public place like a press conference.

Even Cassel frowned slightly.

Tang Shuai didn't mean to stop, he knew that if these words went out today, he would probably attract a fine for himself, but so what? In order to make a fair penalty for the game in the future, he has to say, and the money for the fine is really nothing to him now.

"I admit that the Rockets played very well today, better than any of their previous games, James cut 40 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, very good statistics, and also scored in the last minute, but in the end we lost by 1 point, which shows that we played very hard, and as I said before, there was a foul on the last ball, if you don't believe it, you can go back and watch the video, I don't hide it."

After Tang Shuai finished speaking, he looked at the reporter in a daze, and the reporter was suddenly looked at by him, and sat down unconsciously.

Tang Shuai finished what he wanted to say in his heart, and then saw that the reporter was speechless, and a bad breath grew in his heart, even if this is Houston, even if he is a rookie, even if his strength is really damaged, he must not lose in terms of momentum.

The press conference continued, and the confrontation between Tang Shuai and reporters became the flashpoint of the game, especially Tang Shuai's practice of questioning the referee's decision in public, so that the media found the topic at once, and various reports swept in, even exceeding the report of Paul's injury itself.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Tang Shuai did not feel depressed or sunk, but became another driving force for him to move forward.

If winning the playoffs was just to fight for more honors, then now, Paul's share is obviously added to this honor, and it is for Paul's sake that he will work hard to win this series.
