Chapter 118: A Little Better Than I Imagined

He saw that his teammates had no intention of helping to defend at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and carry it.

Griffin was about to enter the three-second zone with ease.

At this time, Batum finally couldn't help it, he and Jeremy Lin glanced at each other, which probably meant that the defense was handed over to you, and he turned around and ran in to help the defense.

Griffin took another step inside, half a foot had already entered the three-second zone, and at this moment, Batum successfully made up the defense, two clamps, and it was obviously unrealistic for him to attack the basket again.

And Batum is no better than Jeremy Lin, and as soon as he covers his big hand, Griffin's vision is completely blocked.

At this time, it has to be said that Griffin defended this move in advance, so even if his vision was blocked, he still threw the ball out according to the position he remembered, and the ball flew straight to Pierce at the top of the arc.

Another big vacancy.

However, at this time, Jeremy Lin had already run from Tang Shuai's defensive position to Pierce, and he would never give Pierce a second chance to make such an easy shot.

After Pierce received the ball, he saw Jeremy Lin's actions and threw his hand directly to Tang Shuai.

He has a purple passing bag, and more importantly, he has played for so many years, Jeremy Lin can't see it when he defends two people alone, let alone being on the same team, the Hornets don't know Tang Shuai's three-point shooting ability, will he not know?

Tang Shuai received the ball, slammed his feet, and started with a three-point shot.

Novak three-pack activation, standard three-point stance.

Although the speed is a bit slow, but fortunately, no one guards him at all.

There was a sudden silence in the stadium for no apparent reason, and the eyes of the fans were all staring at the spinning ball.

"Enter! Enter! On the commentary seat, Yu Jia couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball was hollow into the pocket without suspense, and the probability of missing the ball was too low with a 90 percent empty three-point shooting rate.

"Yay!"

The moment the ball went in, the whole scene went crazy, Tang Shuai just contributed an amazing pass, and hit a three-pointer in a blink of an eye, such an eye-catching performance was in stark contrast to the two point guards on the court before the Clippers, especially the starting point guard Reaves Jr.

"Tang Shuai's score came really fast!" Yu Jia couldn't help but say excitedly.

Yang Yi smiled wryly at this time, he was still saying a minute ago that Tang Shuai didn't get a shot so quickly, but in a blink of an eye, Tang Shuai scored, and he slapped him in the face.

The game on the court continued, and after Tang Shuai passed and attacked, the Clippers played a wave of 6:0 attacks, chasing the score to 26:29 in one fell swoop, and the difference was only 3 points in a blink of an eye.

Hornets coach Steve Clifford saw that the momentum was not right and decisively replaced Jefferson.

As soon as Jefferson came up, the effect was immediate, and through his low singles, the Hornets scored 2 points and temporarily stabilized the situation.

And with the lessons of the previous two rounds, the Hornets were determined not to be caught this time, and when Griffin hit the three-second zone, Jefferson came up to help.

There was little space under the basket, and Griffin had a hard time getting to Smith, and in the face of Jefferson and Zeller's double pack, Griffin's strong play ultimately failed.

Looking back, Jeremy Lin assisted Batum to hit a mid-range shot, and in the blink of an eye, the Hornets gave the Clippers a wave of 4:0 to stretch the margin to seven points again.

The fans at the scene fell into an inexplicable agitation.

After Tang Shuai's brilliant performance just now, they seemed to have forgotten that this was the home court of the Hornets, and they all consciously became fans of the Clippers, and now that the Clippers are being pressed and beaten, it is obviously difficult for them to calm down.

Tang Shuai was in possession of the ball at the top of the arc at this time, and he was hesitating whether to hoist the ball to Griffin on the inside.

According to Reaves's instructions to him before he came on the court, the first thing he had to do after dribbling to the front court was to hoist the ball to Griffin on the inside, and then Griffin would distribute the ball.

This is what Reaves told him, that is, what the coach asked him to do, and at this time, as a rookie, if he didn't implement this strategy, then he would probably be replaced in the face of him.

But now it's clear that the Hornets have a clear way to deal with the Clippers' tactics, and it's not so easy to open up the situation by hanging to Griffin.

He glanced back at the Clippers' bench, where Reaves was still sitting in his dugout, and the championship coach didn't even bother to stand up in the face of the changes on the court.

Tang Shuai turned his head helplessly, did Reeves fully trust him or didn't want to care about it at all!

No matter!

The Hornets just played a climax, if it continues like this, the difference between the two teams will only widen, regardless of whether he will be replaced later, as a point guard on the court, he must make changes!

He gritted his teeth, pulled back his position, and then reached out to make a tactical gesture of "3".

Griffin had sunk to a low position at this time, and the other players were stunned when they saw this tactic, but they soon began to run according to Tang Shuai's tactical requirements, no matter who controlled the ball on the court, the position of the commander on the point guard court was unshakable.

The "3" tactic, which is one of the more common drills of the Clippers, is a tactic that creates shooting opportunities for shooters, and this tactic is used most when Redick is on the floor.

After Tang Shuai gave tactical instructions, Pierce and Stephenson began to cross the baseline, using the off-ball blocking of Smith and Griffin on the inside, the two of them went around under the basket, and then ran to the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on both sides at the same time.

Tang Shuai was dribbling the ball at this moment, pretending to break through.

Stephenson was young after all, he quickly ran outside the three-point line, and successfully got rid of the defender, Tang Shuai made a breakthrough feint, forced Jeremy Lin to take a step back, and after creating a safe passing space for himself, he flicked the ball to Stephenson.

Stephenson wasn't good at three-pointers, so he dribbled inside and followed up with a mid-range shot.

Tang Shuai has begun to retreat at this time, and Stephenson has a purple mid-range shooting bag, which is basically nine out of ten.

"Huh!"

The ball crossed a perfect arc and landed precisely into the net.

Stephenson hit a shot to stop the Clippers' decline.

hit this shot, Stephenson looked very excited, and when he ran back, he rushed to Tang Shuai and gave him a high-five, to say that after he came to the Clippers, he didn't have many shots, if according to Reeves's tactical deployment, this ball was not a chance for him to shoot, but Tang Shuai was stunned to create it for him, and he was naturally excited.

"Another brilliant assist! Or from Tang Shuai! The Clippers have finally added to the score! Yu Jia said excitedly.

At this time, Yang Yi had recovered from the situation of being slapped in the face just now, and said with a smile at this time: "Tang Shuai, it is indeed a little better than all of us imagined. ”
