Chapter 184: The Scorching Sixth Battle
In the third quarter, Rivers let Paul control the ball, and the Spurs no longer restricted Chen Lei as much as they did in the first half, but Chen Lei did not improve his hand for a long time in the first half, but dropped by two points.
"Kill the insider!" Chen Lei had a plan and began to ask for the ball and hit the basket, and he didn't believe that Dior's one-on-one defense could block him.
As long as you get to the basket, you have a lot of chances to throw the ball into the basket.
"Just rush past the first line of defense and shoot before the second line of defense comes, it's not that difficult!" Chen Lei looked at Dior with confidence and started his plan to kill the basket.
The first attempt was unsuccessful, and the second time Chen Lei killed him from the right side.
The breakthrough will reach four meters below the basket Duncan will make up for himself from the inside, Chen Lei ignored and tried to break through directly, but Duncan did not give him a chance to directly open his hands to block his disguised way.
"Roar~" Chen Lei let out a low sigh and leaned forward against Duncan, and the body-cushioning breakthrough that had not been used for a long time was used on Duncan today.
"What's the situation?" Duncan's already round eyes bulged a few points again, and then he stammered, "It's this trick again?" This guy is really ...... Oops, my boobs ......."
Duncan couldn't bear it at all when he was hit by Chen Lei, took two steps back, and then could only watch Chen Lei use his body to collide with a reasonable collision to reach the basket.
"Huh!" Chen Lei's forced basket is always successful, and he excitedly holds the right hand that has just shot and roars loudly.
The first sports battle attack was successful, not only Chen Lei, but even the fans on the scene couldn't help but shout happily for him.
This fat man has won the hearts of all the Clippers fans, and it is natural to be proud that he finally made it to the basket and played offensively.
Apache's Bloody Blade strikes. The Spurs obediently washed their heads and surrendered!
"Thinking too much!" Wave. A smile tugged at Povich's lips. Towards Dior in the field to strengthen the defensive gesture.
Dior rushed at the wave. Povich makes a qiΔOK gesture. After turning around, there was a trace of embarrassment on his face for a moment, how could it be so simple?
"After watching Chen Lei's various offensive videos all night, I worked hard to defend a whole half today, and then I have to strengthen the defensive intensity? You think I'm Ultraman Superman, huh? Dio lamented in his heart that this kind of errand was too hardy.
Dior then injected more energy into Chen Lei. Povic's task for him was to limit Chen Lei, and he did a very good job in the first half, and he really had the style of a defensive warrior in the desperate confrontation. So Chen Lei doesn't have many outstanding performances.
But Chen Lei is Chen Lei after all, and his offensive methods are different from others.
Desperately rushing to the inside line still allowed him to bloom a little in the third quarter, and in the third quarter, he scored 8 points from the fatigue of the first half, giving Dio the urge to hit the wall.
"I'm like this, what do you want me to do?" Dio bit the corner of his clothes like an angry little daughter-in-law, "I hate fat people, I hate fat people who break through and are more fierce than defenders!" β
In the third quarter, Chen Lei's personal table was revived, but the Clippers did not continue to suppress the Spurs before, with the Spurs' outside firepower group Ginobili and Green's five three-pointers, the Spurs have overtaken the score and grasped the advantage in their hands.
At 78:82, the Clippers trailed the Spurs by four points, and the Spurs completed a 10-point net in the first quarter. The fans at the scene couldn't help but worry.
The last and most crucial section. If you win the game, you will directly advance to the finals, and if you lose, you will have to fight in a foreign land.
No one wants to fight for the final game of the tiebreaker, and the Clippers fans are reluctant to let alone the Clippers' players, because there are too many variables if there is one more game, and it is the home court of the Spurs.
Even though the Clippers had won two of their previous three home games against the Spurs, they still didn't want to fight there again.
"Three crits!" Chen Lei understood that it was time to make reasonable use of these three critical attacks.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Chen Lei became the team's main point of attack, Rivers threw all the responsibilities to this rookie, and the hand feeling value that rose to 79 points in the third quarter allowed Chen Lei to also have more options in the middle distance.
At 3 minutes and 22 seconds in the fourth quarter, he activated the first crit and scored a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and by the time Paul and the other main players returned to the court, he had already led the team to overtake the score.
"Whoever wins Chen, wins the world!" Rivers stroked the empty beard above his chin and chuckled under his breath.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and the Clippers once widened the difference to 6 points in the middle and late stages, which was also the largest point difference between their own side in the fourth quarter.
Of course, this also includes Chen Lei's another three-point meritorious service, three critical hits have been activated twice, and there is one last chance left.
At 9 minutes and 34 seconds in the fourth quarter, Leonard broke through the basket and scored the ball while causing Chen Lei's foul, and the free throw allowed Leonard to successfully score 3 points, and the Spurs also sounded the horn of their counterattack at this time.
Green's two three-point shots before the fourth quarter were bounced off by the basket, and at this moment, it was as if the killer had re-hit two three-pointers in a row, dragging the advantage of the score directly to his side.
As the fourth quarter entered the final minute, Rivers took a timeout to relineup, and he didn't want to lose a game that had dominated most of the game.
After some adjustments, Crawford was pushed to the second position, and the rest of the positions were all starting lineups, and the Clippers stepped up their individual offense in the final moments.
"Bang!" Crawford, who returned to the court, missed the basket and missed the attack, and the Spurs won the ball again at 11:05 of the fourth quarter.
"Huh!" Ginobili hooked Duncan from outside the three-point line to hit the ball with a hook hand, and the difference between the two sides widened to four points, with only 39.2 seconds left.
"Huh!" Chen Lei hit a three-point shot and rolled into the basket, but before he could celebrate, the referee blew the whistle hurriedly.
The offense is ineffective! The referee first made this gesture, and then pointed at Chen Lei and made another gesture, walking in violation of the law!
"Walking?" Chen Lei's eyes glared at his face, "Me? Walking? Is there any mistake? How can I possibly walk? β
This is a crucial goal, if it is blown for a violation, it will not only lose 3 points, but also an offensive opportunity, and most importantly, his last critical hit will be wasted by him, how can he not be angry?
"Do you want a technical foul? Do you want me to fulfill you? The referee who just blew the penalty squinted at Chen Lei, zero tolerance is not a joke, if you dare to say more, I will not hesitate to give you a technical foul.
Paul stepped forward and grabbed Chen Lei, "Okay Chen, calm down, the game is not over yet." β
Chen Lei exhaled a long breath, slowly released his clenched fist and looked up at the timer, with 28.2 seconds left, the Clippers 95:99 Spurs, and the difference was still 4 points.
As soon as the Spurs offense served, Chen Lei took Parker into his arms, and after winning a foul, Parker loosened and walked to the free throw line in the opposite half.
Looking at Chen Lei's back and twisting his shoulders that had just been hugged by Chen Lei, Parker said in a low voice, "The strength is really great." β
Chen Lei chose a tactical foul to send Parker to the free throw line, and the sports car made one of two free throws, and the score became 95:100.
The Clippers called a timeout, and at the same time, Rivers also replaced Redick for Crawford, emphasizing foul tactics and three-point stealing tactics, while also comforting Chen Lei, who had just been injured.
During the interval between games, the central screen above his head has a replay of Chen Lei's goal just now, Chen Lei has a dribble and turns to break through in order to get rid of the opponent's interception on the way, and one of his steps is slightly suspicious, but after several reforms, it should be seen that this ball is not a step.
So Rivers also decided to file a complaint after the game, complaining about the obviously unfair whistle.
At the end of the timeout, the Clippers half-court ball, Chen Lei threw the ball to Paul, who threw it to Redick outside the three-point line at the top of the left arc with a side throw.
"Huh!" Redick's three-pointer landed like a locator-equipped missile into the basket accurately, directly overturning the audience at the Staples Center, causing fans to cheer wildly.
"So handsome, bro!" Paul happily put his arm around Redick's neck, 98:100, with only two points left and 21.6 seconds left.
"Toot ~" The Spurs just passed the ball Paul sent his own foul, this time the opponent passed the ball to Duncan, Shi Buddha gladly accepted it, and walked directly to the front free throw line.
"It's direct." Chen Lei smiled, walked to the paint area and stood still, looked at Duncan and finally muttered, "Miss!" Miss! Missed ......"
"......" Dior.
"Bang!" The first goal missed.
βyesοΌβ Chen Lei happily clenched his fists.
"......" Dior.
"Huh!" The second shot was successful.
With 19.1 seconds left in the game, the Clippers were 98-101 to the Spurs, a three-point difference between the two sides.
The Clippers didn't try to tie the score with an offensive attack and opted for a quick two-point run, Paul smashed into the basket to split Griffin, and the White Monster grabbed the ball with his right hand like a furious dragon in the air and slammed the ball into the basket.
With 10.5 seconds left, the Clippers 100-101 Spurs while forcing the Spurs to choose a timeout.
"Beautiful!" Chen Lei and Little Jordan took Griffin into their arms at the same time, Griffin smiled and let the two pull him around, and several people walked to the bench together.
Paul's split and Griffin's cut were the key to this goal, but the other three were not idle, and the others pulled the Spurs' defense out of the interior to give Griffin space for a dunk, and the five worked together exceptionally well this time.
But for the Spurs, there is nothing to worry about, they just need to throw a few people who are on the court to wait for the free throws. Povich's timeout was just a brief break for the players.
Of course, after this timeout, the Spurs are half-court balls, and as long as they give the ball to the inside, they may be able to create 2+1.
"Clippers, can you still create a miracle?" Wave. Povic glanced at the timer, "Game seven, you're still ten seconds away." (To be continued......)
