(PS: I have to apologize to my friends first, it's not that the lights are lazy and there are few updates in the past two days, it's really that the whole family has been sick in the past two days, and it's completely messed up.) I have a headache of my own, and after taking the medicine, I asked the doctor for two painkillers, and then I boiled up this chapter tonight, this chapter has 4,000 words, one is the need for the plot, and the other is that I can't get enough of the updates in the past two days, because I can only have one more chapter today, so this chapter is a little longer, and I apologize to everyone again! ）

The Clippers called a timeout, 1 minute and 12 seconds, and a 3-point difference, and every offense and defense at this time is obviously crucial.

From time to time, the coaches of both teams could be heard shouting from the sidelines, and the fans at Staples Arena could not sit still, they stood up one after another, waiting for the final moment after the timeout.

"There is 1 minute and 12 seconds left, and according to the normal offense and defense, if each attack is not dragged to 24 seconds, both teams should have two rounds of offense, and the next round will become extremely important......

This round turned out to be extremely important, and it was clear to everyone that if the Kings could defend against the Clippers' offense, they would have the full initiative.

For the Clippers, this offense is a no-brainer.

“Clippers！” “Clippers！”

When the players from both sides returned to the court again, the Clippers fans on the scene shouted and cheered again, and the atmosphere became extremely enthusiastic.

The Clippers served, Paul controlled the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and at this moment, Redick and Crawford were constantly running in the half.

"Redick and Crawford are on the move, and the Clippers look like they're going to make a three-pointer, but Li Tian and Iguodala are both very well defended......"

Whether it is Li Tian or Iguodala, the defense at the moment is very good, although the two have different defensive styles, but they are good at marking, under the close marking of the two, although Griffin and Jordan Jr. are pulled to the high position to cover the two, but neither Redick nor Crawford have a chance to catch the ball.

The Kings fans in front of the screen were excited about the Kings' excellent defense, while the fans in front of the audience were extremely nervous at this time, and the tactical runs of the two players could not run, which made them extremely anxious.

However, no one saw that at this moment, a strange light flashed in the eyes of Chris Paul, the leading point guard of the Clippers.

Breakthrough! Just as Evans was also paying attention to Paul's pass at any time, Paul suddenly started to rush forward and break through to the basket.

At the same time, Redick and Crawford both stopped at the same time, and Griffin and Jordan Jr. were suddenly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the two Kings interior players.

"Not good!"

Seeing this scene, Li Tian and the others immediately understood, their previous judgment was completely wrong, and the Clippers' attack was originally not Redick and Crawford, but ...... Paul!

Evans also understood this, and quickly turned sideways to defend, but Paul, who had fully activated to find the breakthrough space, was obviously not easy for Evans to block if he wanted to, at this moment, he could only follow Paul's side sideways, and passively moved towards the basket.

The King's two interior players couldn't return to the basket in the first time, and Paul had no scruples at the moment, rushing forward with all his might, and in the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the basket.

Leaning towards Evans on the side, Paul jumped up and shot a basket with the help of the rebound force from Evans.

"Coax!" The next moment, Staples Arena was completely boiling.

"Paul scored a layup and caused a foul on Evans, 2+1 ......"

The Clippers players on the court were celebrating wildly, while several Kings players, including Li Tian, were stunned for a moment, and the Clippers' offensive choice this time was beyond their expectations, and the result was even more unexpected.

When Paul made a layup, Evans' hand had a downward pressing movement, which made the referee's whistle sound for the first time, 2+1, Paul got the opportunity to play three points.

The Kings' players are desperately defending the Clippers' outside three-pointers, and they defend them well, but the result is still to let the opponent score 3 points, which is undoubtedly a big blow to the King's morale.

On the other hand, the Clippers, because of Paul's 2+1 this time, with the support of the home fans, became extremely vigorous.

After Paul made a free throw, Adelman called a timeout, whether it was to interrupt the Clippers' upward momentum or to set up offensive tactics.

"Good job, boys, now we're on the same starting line as the opposition and we have the right to take the lead, which means we have one more chance to attack than them, play with energy, finish one of those attacks, and the win is still ours!"

When the Kings players came to the sidelines, Adelman loudly encouraged his players, and his encouragement did work, and after Adelman's continuous shouting, the Kings' players regained their spirits.

Adelman was right, there were 54 seconds left before the game, and the Kings had the opportunity to attack first, which meant that the Kings had at least 6 seconds to attack after each of the two teams played an attack, which was undoubtedly very advantageous for the Kings.

Two attacks, in between, a lot can happen!

"Shh

As soon as Iguodala on the sidelines passed the ball into Evans' hands, the scene immediately resounded with violent boos, and the high-pitched sound seemed to puncture people's eardrums.

Evans controlled the ball steadily and did not rush to attack, for the current king, the success rate of the attack is more important, after all, there is still plenty of time.

When Evans dribbled to the top of the arc, Li Tian in the bottom corner began to run aggressively, which was the king's first tactic.

The Clippers are obviously guarding against this, with Redick keeping an eye on Lee, and whenever the Kings have players stepping up to cover, the Clippers' players are always coming out to delay Lee's run.

Running to the outside of the three-point line, Li Tian received a pass from Evans, but at this time Redick had already run to his side, realizing that his chance was not very good, Li Tian did not choose to shoot directly, raised his hand and passed the ball to Cousins in the middle distance on the right side.

Li Tian, who passed the ball out, quickly moved towards the top of the arc, and at this time, Evans, who was originally passing the ball out at the top of the arc, suddenly started and cut along the middle towards the basket.

Cousins, who was leaning on Jordan Jr. with his back to the ball, was just close to the opponent, making it look like he was going to play alone, but the next moment, the ball was thrown out and passed to Evans, who cut in from the middle.

After receiving the ball from Cousins in the middle, Evans suddenly accelerated forward and ran to the basket.

"Stop him!" "Defend! Defend! ”

Seeing this scene, the Clippers fans on the sidelines immediately shouted into the court, and the boos became more and more intense.

Then, the next moment, the boos turned into cheers.

"Oops, Evans is a pity, he spun around the basket and fell out!"

Watching Griffin grab the rebound on the court, listening to the commentator's words, the Kings fans in front of the screen were also stomping their feet and secretly screaming pity.

"What a pity!" On the field, hearing the referee blow the whistle of the timeout, Li Tian also said secretly in his heart.

Evans had a chance to jump when he received the ball, but Paul followed closely and Griffin arrived in time to interfere, allowing Evans' layup to end up spinning around the basket and falling out.

With 34 seconds left in the game, the Clippers called a timeout again, and they needed to set up an offensive strategy.

On the other side, the Kings need to deploy defensive tactics, and with the team's failure to attack this time, the pressure is all on the Kings again, and the defense of this round has become extremely critical.

“Clippers！” “Clippers！”

The atmosphere at the Clippers' home court became more and more enthusiastic at this time, and the huge shouts made Adelman have to raise his voice again and again.

"DeMarcus, stay under the basket and don't give anyone a chance to attack the basket......"

"Lee, Andre, be sure to stick to your opposing players, don't let them get a chance to shoot three-pointers!"

…………

Adelman constantly advises on how to deal with various offensive situations, and on the other side, Rivers is on the offensive board to chart the offensive tactics of this crucial attack.

"Tick!"

As the manager's whistle blew, the players of both teams returned to the field, and the cheers in the stadium also rose a few decibels at this moment.

Paul, Redick, Crawford, Griffin, Jordan Jr., the Clippers used one of their most offensive lineups, and at this time, the ball was in Paul's hands.

Just now, Paul tried to break straight to the inside to complete a quick two-pointer, and after finding that the King's box was well protected, Paul returned to the outside line and began to attack the position.

Paul didn't choose to attack the ball just now, and obviously, at such a critical moment, the Clippers didn't dare to take any chances.

Li Tian followed Redick to stand near the bottom corner on the right side, he didn't look at Paul who dribbled, this time defending, he has only one task, that is, to keep an eye on Redick, as for the task of assisting in the defense when others attack, it belongs to other teammates.

As soon as Paul returned to the three-point line, Crawford immediately began to run, and beside him was Iguodala, one of the best defenders on the outside of the league on the Kings' perimeter.

Crawford kept moving around the three-point line in an attempt to get rid of Iguodala, and after failing to do so, he immediately began to cut back to the basket.

The whole time, Li Tian didn't look anywhere else, he stood in front of Redick, and kept enough concentration to keep an eye on his opponent, the Clippers' best outside shooter.

In Adelman's judgment, Redick is the most likely person to execute this shot, even more likely than Chris Paul.

Li Tian paid attention to Reddick's every move, and even his every subtle look did not let go, and gradually, Li Tian began to realize that Adelman's judgment was correct, and the subtle movements shown by Reddick seemed to be waiting for the opportunity.

What timing? Li Tian can guess this with his toes, that is the opportunity to attack!

"It's now!"

Sensing that Redick's body was gradually tightening from completely relaxed to slowly tightening, the strings in Li Tian's mind were also completely tightened, and he realized that Redick was about to act.

Crawford cut in, and at the moment, Griffin, who had been near the basket, moved to the right mid-range, looking like he was going to create space for Crawford's cut.

The moment Griffin came to his mid-distance stand, Reddick began to act, dodging and rushing over.

Almost at the same time as Reddick moved, Li Tian also moved quickly, as if he had expected it, and rushed over after Reddick.

Paul's eyes were on Crawford as he cut in to the basket, but out of the corner of his eye he was on Redick, who needed to make sure he got the ball the moment Redick ran out of space, and he knew that such an opportunity was fleeting.

Rushing past Griffin, Redick pocketed to the right side of the free-throw line, and at the same time, Paul's ball was instantly delivered.

Jumping, at the same moment as receiving the ball, Reddick jumped, a standard catch-and-throw action!

"Coax!" Seeing this scene, the Clippers fans at the scene immediately widened their eyes, and they clenched their fists to look at Redick in the air, waiting for this crucial shot to be hit.

"Don't think about shooting!"

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly struck, leaping high in front of Redick's side, and its long arms reached for the top of Redick's head.

Li Tian!

Although Li Tian, who had been following Redick's side closely, was slightly affected by Griffin's cover, but with his excellent movement pace, he reduced the impact to a minimal, and at the same time that Redick caught the ball and jumped, Li Tian finally killed!

Although he was surprised that Li Tian could arrive so quickly, Redick still chose to shoot, and when the ball was in his hands, there were only 5 seconds left in the offensive time, and at this moment, he had no choice.

The basketball flew out of Redick's hand, and at this moment, Li Tian's slender fingers came to the bottom of the basketball, and the fingertips of his middle finger brushed the bottom of the basketball with gentle force.

"Squeak!" To Reddick, the inaudible voice was like a sharp blade slashing through his heart, making his heart tremble while he was still in the air! I couldn't help but let out a sad cry in my heart:

"How so?"

Cover!

Although Li Tian's cap is not strong, although the force of just rubbing his fingers is extremely slight, but this is enough!

The high-speed spinning basketball changed its trajectory after being touched by Li Tian, and the ball that was supposed to fall towards the basket fell to the side of the basket, and then was jumped up by Cousins and grabbed it steadily.

"Hat! Lee Skygai dropped Redick's shot! A crucial block, a crucial defense! Li Tian's defense is too beautiful! ”

The commentator in China was completely agitated at the moment, and he yelled so hard that it sounded like a broken sound, but no King fan would find it unpleasant, and no fan could even hear what he was shouting.

Li Tian is covered! Li Tian is covered! Critical one-time cap!

All the Kings fans have in their minds all but this one sentence!

As for Staples Arena, it's a mess at the moment.
