Chapter 157: Battle Clipper (8)

"Guys, let the Spurs see how good we are, and we're going to let the world know that we're not easy to deal with. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Before the players came on the pitch, Rivers kept cheering him up.

Off the court, in addition to tonight's game between the Clippers and Spurs, the bet between Barkley and Billups has also been in the spotlight, with people looking forward to seeing one of the two in a newspaper jacket.

On the court, the Clippers served in the last quarter, Paul controlled the ball and commanded the offense, and the Clippers, with their main force, were a force that no one in the league could be underestimated.

Bamot is still doing the pick-and-roll for Paul, otherwise he will be completely empty, and he can only hurt the team at that time, so he can only become a "moving meat wall" to shield Paul from the wind and rain.

Paul broke through with a cover and put the ball in the hands of Griffin, who was standing in the low post, who took the ball and the rest of the team pulled away to make room for his singles.

Griffin took a leap to take advantage of Ibaka, then turned and stepped back on tiptoe.

The basketball hollowed into the net, the score was tied at 78-78, and the two sides returned to the same running line.

The Spurs attack, Parker to the frontcourt organization, the Spurs' main lineup is very good, everyone's attack range can be extended beyond the three-point line, and everyone can finish the offense.

Parker handed the ball to Leonard from beyond the three-point line, who in turn passed the ball to Ho Don who cut inside.

He Dong received the ball with a backhand and passed it to Ade, who passed the ball to Ibaka, who cut outside to the free throw line.

After several transmissions, all the players participated in the attack, creating the most comfortable opportunity for the last person to appear in the empty position.

Serge Ibaka made a mid-range jumper and then the basketball's hollow net to give the Spurs a two-point advantage again.

The Clippers fought again, Paul chose to throw a shot after entering the restricted area this time, although he didn't score, but Jordan Jr. insisted on completing a secondary attack against Ade, and stuffed the ball back into the basket.

The score came to 80-80, and the two sides were still on the same starting line.

The Spurs then hit a three-pointer from Hodon, and the Clippers returned the favor with Redick.

The time of the fourth quarter passed minute by minute, and the score was so close that it was not what Popovich wanted to see, Parker saw the old man's expression, and immediately shouted to everyone on the court: "Score this ball well, don't you want to play the West?" ”

The other 4 people on the field nodded, and everything was silent.

Parker organized the attack, this time He Dong received a pass in the bottom corner, and against Redick, who was waiting for him, without saying a word, he leaned on his body to force a two-step distance outside the penalty area, and after attracting Griffin to help the defense, he stuffed the ball to Ibaka from the gap.

The latter received the ball and hit the board in the box to score two points for the Spurs.

Then when Paul passed, He Dong quickly cut off the ball, launched a fast break, and assisted Leonard to make a layup, and the Spurs' lead came to 4 points.

During this period, He Dong made 2 consecutive assists, which was indispensable.

Then Griffin hit an iron shot, and Leonard picked up a defensive rebound and returned the favor by passing the ball to Ho Dong, who was standing in the open space.

Slightly adjusting the shooting posture, He Dong shot outside the three-point line!

He Dong scored 3 points and 2 assists to lead the Spurs to three consecutive offensive rounds, hitting a 7-0 attack wave to bring the score to 87-80.

It stands to reason that Rivers on the sidelines should choose to call a timeout at this time and arrange a tactic against He Dong to limit his play, but he is now looking irritable, because he can't find how to limit it, including He Dong? Then he can choose to pass, and everyone on the Spurs' side has an attack range that extends to the three-point line, and as long as it is open, everyone has the ability to shoot the basketball. Rather than wrapping He Dong and letting others shoot in the open position, it is better to let He Dong eat in singles, and the hit rate of singles is usually not higher than that of empty shots.

And the Clippers' goal is Bamot, although the defense is strong, but the offensive ability is almost none, which is really happy and sad.

On the court, He Dong singled Redick to win, and the score came to 89-80, and the score difference was close to double digits, and Rivers had to deal with it!

Gritting his teeth, Rivers made up his mind and called a timeout.

As if struggling for a while, Rivers then said to Bamot, "You can get off the game first." ”

Then he turned his head to Crawford, who was sitting on the bench drinking water, and said, "Jamal, you play, I hope you don't let me down." ”

Crawford heard Rivers' instructions, immediately took off his coat, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that the Clippers still had to rely on him at a critical moment.

Rivers made up his mind that since he couldn't limit the Spurs defensively, he would have more offensive firepower than anyone else.

Replaced by Crawford, so that the Clippers except Jordan Jr., the other four also have the firepower to shoot as far as the three-point line.

The Spurs did not opt for substitutions, and there is no need to change the current lineup.

The Clippers served, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Crawford and Redick screened each other, and then the former received Paul's pass in the bottom corner.

Leonard's defense was a step slower, and Crawford hit a shot from beyond the three-point line.

The score was tied to 89-83, and the Clippers seemed to have hope.

The Clippers then hit a shot from Ade, and Crawford faced Leonard's defense in the bottom corner.

As the "offseason Jordan", Crawford's offensive ability is definitely not underestimated in the league, especially in singles, when he was young, he could scold whoever he wanted, whether he entered or not, his movements should be sassy, and his posture should be handsome.

Although he is old now, the blade of the sword is still sharp, and he can give a fatal blow to those who underestimate him at any time.

Facing Leonard, Crawford first made a tentative step, and then accelerated the strong burst on the other side.

Leonard naturally won't let him pass easily, and as a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Crawford can't afford to pass him lightly.

Leaning on Leonard, Crawford then suddenly stepped back and staggered his position, and then used his footpace to burst into the basket and hit the board.

Crawford scored five straight points to tie the score at 89-85.

The Spurs attacked again, this time Parker made a mistake in passing, was stealed by Paul, ran wildly with the ball, rushed to the basket to attract the chaser, and passed the ball to Redick who followed up on the outside with a flick of his wrist.

The latter's three-pointer went up and down, and the basketball hollowed into the net, and the score was chased to 89-88, and the Spurs' lead was in jeopardy, and if they were shot by the Clippers one more time, they would be overtaken.

Popovich called a timeout, at which point he had to interrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm and rearrange the offensive and defensive arrangements for the Spurs.

Popovich looked at He Dong, thoughtfully, and quickly drew a tactic on the tactical board.

"The next tactics revolve around He Dong to play, Tony is organized on the outside, Kawaii is contained in the bottom corner, DeMarcus is responsible for pulling out He Dong as a blocking cover, and Sergi is responsible for guarding the basket." Popovich said what to do next.
