Sun Xiaotian came on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Paul was resting off the court, and it was Crawford who was opposite Sun Xiaotian. However, Negro learned to be smart at this time, and he no longer let Crawford defend Sun Xiaotian, but changed to Barnes.

The 16-point deficit gave the Clippers' main team a rare break to prepare them for the second half of the game to seal the victory.

What the Bulls desperately need at this time is a point, and they don't want to give up too soon, especially Sun Xiaotian.

The Bulls' on-court lineup is Nate, Belinelli, Sun Xiaotian, Jimmy. Butler and Gibson and others have a small lineup. The Clippers also have a small lineup, with Bledsoe, Willie. Green, Crawford, Barnes and Hollins.

At the beginning, the Bulls attacked first, and Nate carefully guarded the ball, because Bledsoe, who was opposite him, was a ruthless character. This person, known as the blood cloth, has excellent physical fitness, and he has a rare fight with Wei. And he often plays bloody dunks, and Nate, who is also good at dunking, is with him, and he is a whole circle smaller.

Nate didn't dare to stick to the ball too much, and handed the ball to Sun Xiaotian after crossing the halfway line. Sun Xiaotian is playing more of an organizational striker role at this time.

As soon as Sun Xiaotian got the ball, the rest of the Bulls moved quickly. Gibson went to the top of the arc to cover for Sun Xiaotian, who used the cover to try to get rid of Barnes.

When he arrived at the inside of the Clippers, the lanky Hollins hurriedly stepped forward to guard against Sun Xiaotian. Sun Xiaotian dribbles the ball to observe his teammates' movements. Suddenly, Jimmy. Butler scurries to the basket and defends his Willie. Green didn't react. Sun Xiaotian waved with one hand, and the ball landed accurately on Jimmy. Butler's hand, Jimmy. Butler holds the ball in both hands, leaps high and dunks with both hands.

Although in the next game, Bledsoe took advantage of his physical advantage and beat Nate a few times in succession. However, Nate is not a master to be messed with, he faced Bledsoe in front of him when the time of an offense was approaching, and he made a difficult three-point shot, which can be regarded as a response to not Bledsoe!

Sun Xiaotian made a perfect cameo appearance as a playmaker for this period of time, although he only scored 2 points, but he handed out 4 assists, and under his leadership, the Bulls replaced the Clippers with a 14-6 attack wave, which directly suspended the Clippers.

86 to 94! The Bulls pushed the score to eight points.

Negro saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly replaced the team's main players on the field.

But surprisingly, Thibodeau did not make any substitutions, perhaps he himself thinks that the current squad is very good.

Coming back to fight again, Paul dribbled again, and this time the time that Sun Xiaotian had been waiting for for a long time had arrived.

Sun Xiaotian bent down and pulled his pants with his hand, and made a defensive posture. Paul's eyes were fixed on him at this time, and his eyes were full of fire. The two of them looked like boxers about to face off on stage.

The commentary on the scene also made a lot of fun at this time, "The two people seem to want to eat each other!" Come on, or don't you gamble! ”

Paul took advantage of Griffin's cover to suddenly bend over and slap the ball in a hurry, and the ball bounced almost against the ground. Then, suddenly, Paul changed hands and burst along Griffin's right hand. Sun Xiaotian was also quite smart, he bypassed Griffin and appeared directly on Paul's road.

I thought that Paul would burst to the end, but I didn't expect him to pass the ball to Butler on the bottom line with an extremely hidden armpit pass in his right hand. Perhaps because he hadn't shot for a long time, Butler's shot came out of the basket.

"Rebounding!"

Sun Xiaotian shouted at Jimmy on the inside. Butler and Gibson are still late, although both are in a good position to grab rebounds, but the two are obviously inferior to Griffin and Jordan Jr.

Griffin soared into the sky and pressed Jimmy. Butler and Gibson snatched the ball firmly into their hands from behind. Griffin didn't wait for them to react after landing on the ground, he got up directly, slammed a slam on the top of the two of them, and brought a basket along the way. The referee almost gave him a technical foul.

It's no wonder that Griffin was so excited, and how depressed he was during the whole game. Due to the early trouble of fouling, his playing time has been piecemeal. As of just now, Griffin scored only 7 points on 3-of-6 shooting and grabbed 6 rebounds.

Back to the confrontation between Paul and Sun Xiaotian just now, to be honest, Sun Xiaotian's defense is already in place, at least he forced Paul to pass the ball.

Not only that, in the next few rounds after the Bulls changed to the main lineup, no matter where Paul went, Sun Xiaotian would follow him like gummy. The advantage of height and arm length did make Paul worried, and in the four shots Paul made in the fourth quarter, none of them hit, including an air balloon.

The Bulls took advantage of this opportunity, and the generals combined to play a small 14-9 climax, closing the score to 100-103. There was only a three-point gap between the two sides, but there was only a little more than a minute left in the game at this point, and it was the Clippers who had the ball.

Negro called a timeout to be on the safe side, setting up an offensive tactic for the Clippers.

The Bulls also took advantage of this time to arrange defense, and the most important thing was to allow Sun Xiaotian to have some time to rest.

So far in this game, Sun Xiaotian has played the second quarter and is about to play the fourth quarter. The physical problems were also gradually revealed, especially when defending Paul, which was very physically draining.

Sun Xiaotian gulped Gatorade and gasped. He wanted to calm himself down as much as possible, and this was still a critical moment, and he needed to overcome his physical exhaustion and fight for the last minute or so.

Back on the court, Paul served on the sideline, and at this point the fans at Staples Arena stood up. If the Clippers can score the ball, they will have the upper hand and a good chance of winning the game.

Crawford came out to catch the ball at this time, and randomly transferred it to Paul.

When Thibodeau was at the timeout, he still thought about which one to let Sun Xiaotian defend Paul or Crawford. In the end, he still didn't dare to let Paul go.

To be on the safe side, he took the risk of removing Boozer and replacing him with Jimmy. Butler. This will speed up the team's defensive rotation and give it a speed advantage when helping to defend Crawford.

Paul tried to make the attack as much time as possible, and at this time Paul beckoned, and Griffin hurriedly stepped forward to cover. Sun Xiaotian still bypassed Griffin and wanted to appear in front of him. But what Sun Xiaotian didn't expect was that Paul actually changed direction and returned to the top of the arc. At this time, Sun Xiaotian had been firmly blocked in front of Griffin.

Paul suddenly stopped and made a shot from beyond the three-point line.

"Oops!"

Thibodeau was also shocked!

However, Paul's luck was a little worse, his shot was a little less powerful, and the ball bounced off the front of the basket.

Xibodu and Sun Xiaotian both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahh Oh no! ”

Maybe it's because the Bulls players are too relaxed! I forgot to grab the rebound.

At this time, Jordan Jr., who was under the basket, turned like a spinning top, grabbed a favorable position in front of Noah, and then jumped high and took the ball into his arms.

Thibodeau, who was on the sidelines, stamped his feet in a hurry and shouted to the players, "What are you all doing?" ”

Jordan Jr. re-handed the ball to Paul on the perimeter, with only 42 seconds left in the game.

Paul held the ball and looked at the timer. He needs to reorganize his offense, and he needs to run out of time to attack.

12、11、10

Looking at the timer, Paul changed hands several times in succession, trying to get rid of Sun Xiaotian's entanglement. However, Sun Xiaotian covered him tightly, so that he had no time to shoot and break through.

It's going to be 24 seconds, and if you don't make a move, you'll be in violation.

At this time, Crawford suddenly ran out of the diagonal side at 45 degrees, and Paul was quick to pass the ball in time.

Crawford made a hasty shot, but unfortunately the ball still didn't go in. The Bulls dodged again.

However, the drama happened again, and Griffin suddenly rushed in from the middle line, and he jumped high and tapped the ball with the tip of his finger. As soon as he landed, Griffin bagged the ball again with his excellent bounce speed.

Thibodeau looked stupid on the sidelines, and the Bulls lost the game because they missed two backcourt rebounds in the final minute or so.
