The Clippers also pressed the ball all over the court, with Liu Su and Rose shielding Parker and Ginobili to intercept the pass. Duncan couldn't get the ball out, Bowen rushed over to pick it up, Duncan quickly passed the ball over, and Bowen passed the ball to Ginobili before Ricky Davis arrived, and Ginobili crossed the halfway line with Rose's interference.
Duncan used to block Ginobili and get Ginobili to get rid of Rose. Bowen also helped Parker block Liu Su, and Ginobili passed the ball to Parker, allowing Parker to organize the offense.
Parker received the ball and immediately accelerated past Ricky Davis and rushed inside. Webb came over to Carman to make up for it, but Parker made a foul, and Parker made both free throws.
With 28 seconds to play, 104:105, the Spurs led by one point. The Clippers served, and the Spurs were still pressed all over the court. Liu Su and Rose shook Parker away with a cross-run, and Carman passed the ball over. After Liu Su received the ball, he went straight to the frontcourt, and Parker came to interfere, but it was useless.
Liu Su is proficient in dribbling with both hands, and the ball protection is even more top-notch, and he has not been snatched from his hands since joining the league. After crossing the middle line, Liu Su stopped outside the three-point line and relied on time.
He's going to shoot after 24 seconds, and if he does, he only has about five seconds left for the Spurs. It's too hard to score at this point, and it's basically a sure win.
Now no one rushed over to wrap up, only Rose was not very good offensively, but outside the three-point line, Rose was still a little accurate, and if he scored three points, the Spurs could cry.
When Liu Su first arrived outside the three-point line, it became Bowen to defend him, and Parker went to defend Rose. In the face of Bowen, Liu Su's height does not have an advantage, and his speed still has some advantages.
Time passed little by little, and it wasn't until there were 10 seconds left that Liu Su started to attack.
Bowen saw that Liu Su moved, and hurriedly put all his attention on him. Liu Su dribbled the ball under his crotch and broke through to the left, and Bowen hurriedly went over to defend. Liu Su kicked the ground with his left foot, quickly picked up the ball and pulled it back, rushed out from Bowen's right side, and then went straight to the bottom corner.
Bowen hurriedly rushed over, there was no one there, as long as Liu Su was given a vacant seat, the consequences would be unimaginable. Bowen, who was at full speed, was not far behind Liu Su, it was impossible for Liu Su to stop and shoot, but the game time was almost gone, only less than 3 seconds.
A hint of excitement flashed in Bowen's eyes, as long as he prevented this ball, he would win. But then his eyes widened, and he saw Liu Su jumping up in the middle of running, measuring his body and making a shooting motion.
The basketball was pulled out of Liu Su's hand, and when the ball was still flying in the air, it was 24 seconds away. As soon as the ball went headlong into the basket, the referee's whistle blew. Liu Su had already flown out of the sideline when he landed on the ground, but the ball was still valid, and it was still three points, because the place where Liu Su jumped was outside the three-point line.
With four seconds left in the game, 107:105, the Clippers led by two points. Liu Su clapped his hands with his teammates to celebrate a little, and then said: "Don't take it lightly and prevent the last ball."
"Okay."
Because the Spurs don't have a timeout, they have to make free throws in the backcourt, not even substitutions. It was Elson who served, Parker and Bowen received the ball in the backcourt, Ginobili picked it up near the midfield, and Duncan waited at the free-throw line.
Liu Su watched Parker and Bowen with Rose, Ricky Davis watched Ginobili, Carman followed Duncan, and Webb interfered with free throws. Parker and Bowen couldn't get rid of Liu Su and Rose, and seeing that the service time was about to come, Elson could only pass the ball to Ginobili.
Ginobili was a bit far away from the ball, but Ginobili still got the ball in his hands faster than Ricky Davis and passed it to Duncan. Duncan took the ball and threw it to the basket, Carman tried his best to defend, the basketball smashed on the basket and stumbled and didn't know if it could go in, but the tone of the end of the game had already been remembered, everyone looked at the basket, and then stared at it as it fell into the basket.
"Wow-" The Spurs fans immediately cheered loudly, and the entire arena stood up excitedly to cheer for the team.
107:107 draw, the two sides continued to play overtime.
After a short break, extra time officially began, and there were only five minutes of extra time. Both teams are on the strongest lineup, almost the last lineup.
There is no controversy about the Clippers' No. 1, No. 2, and No. 5 positions, and the No. 3 positions, Ryan Gomez and Ricky Davis, who is experienced but not very good defensively. Ryan Gomez defended well, but was slow and unfit to defend Ginobili. So, the No. 3 spot went to Ricky Davis.
The fourth position Webb and David Lee also have their own strengths, Webber is experienced and David Lee is strong. Webb had played enough time today, and Dunleavy Sr. was afraid that he would get hurt again, so he let David Lee play.
In overtime, Carman got the ball again, but the ball was slightly crooked and put into Ginobili's hand, if Liu Su hadn't hurried up to stop it, maybe Ginobili would have made a layup directly.
Ginobili was stopped, and he did not want to enter it, but stabilized and fought a positional battle. After Parker passed half the court, he passed the ball to him, and then pulled Liu Su aside to prevent him from defending Parker, Parker broke through Rose's defense and went straight inside, David Lee made up the defense, Parker passed to Duncan, and Duncan shot and scored.
Turning back, Liu Su took the ball over the halfway line, and then rushed past Bowen with an acceleration and went straight to Duncan. Duncan made up the defense, Liu Su passed David Lee, and David Lee also scored.
The two teams returned to a starting line, playing ball by ball, steadily not in a hurry, and must play with a success rate.
In the third minute, something happened, and when Ricky Davis hit the inside, he was slapped down by Elson and gave the Spurs a chance.
With a single offense not scored, the Spurs were four points ahead. Liu Su also wanted to use the three-point shot to chase the score, but Bowen was too dead in defending the three-point shot, you don't care if you shoot in the head, you can break through, but you can't shoot three points.
In the last minute and a half, the Clippers began to use foul tactics, but the Spurs made several outside free throws as if they had found a crosshair, and none of them missed.
Liu Su tried to shoot three-pointers every time, but he only chased back one point on 3-of-4 shots, and finally could only lose the game 124-127.
The Clippers' winning streak came to an end, and the Spurs fans cheered even more as they saw their hopes of winning the championship. The defending champions' first defeat was brought by the Spurs, indicating that the Spurs are now stronger than the Clippers.
After the loss, the Clippers players are a little uncomfortable, they don't want to lose, but losing has become a fact, there is no team that doesn't lose.
Dunleavy Sr. comforted the players and then led the team to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies.
