Chapter 110: Win the Fifth Battle
"Dear...... Your face! Barkley's short-circuited brain quickly cleared up, and after a few seconds of thought, it went to O'Neal's head, and O'Neill screamed and shoved Buckley back.
"Bastard, Fack! I don't care about you! O'Neill looked at Barkley with disgust, this thing was actually cheating, and this thick big lip didn't even have the courage to joke and pout.
The fans at the Staples Center had already jumped up and cheered for Chen Lei, and the excitement of the surprise was obviously higher than usual, they had not expected Chen Lei to be able to throw this ball before.
Nearly three meters outside the three-point line, ultra-long-distance three-pointer, in the ordinary offense, this way of shooting can not be said to be rare in a hundred years, it is definitely an endangered offensive method, which requires not only self-confidence, the most important thing is courage.
It's a playoff here, so if you don't score, you have to be calm and calm on the court, whether you are a substitute or a big player on the team.
"Scared the hell out of me!" Rivers stroked his chest, glared at Chen Lei, who was smiling at him, and a smile also leaked from his face, "This three-point ability is estimated to make the Warriors' heart overturn the five-flavor bottle, and it must be very unpleasant in my heart now." ”
For Chen Lei's three-point Rivers can be regarded as a morning thought, there is a three-point shooter in the team with a shooting rate of about 70%, who doesn't want him to shoot more and bomb more?
However, Rivers also knows that Chen Lei's three points are a little 'special', of course, his 'special' here is not that he knows that Chen Lei uses critical hits to shoot, but that Chen Lei made up a lie before that 'he has to find his own state'.
"Make more shots, let today's home field boil because of you!" Rivers looked at Chen Lei with some expectation, if this product averaged more than 5 three-point appearances per game, the shooting rate did not have to reach 70%, only 50% would be satisfied.
Rivers is not God or a prophet after all, and his expectations can only be expectations.
Chen Lei's three-point score is to help the team close the score, and the second is that the number of hands is enough to squander.
At this moment, the feel value has become 81 points, and if you crit again, your offensive shooting rate will be affected to a certain extent, so Chen Lei did not continue to hit three-point crits in the following games, but used breakthroughs to help the team create greater opportunities while connecting games.
"It's so cool to break through the ball." Chen Lei found that whenever he broke through, the opponent would always attack intentionally or unintentionally, and in the face of such an opportunity, he scored 3 assists in two minutes, which was a cut higher than the rate at which Paul won assists.
"After robbing Griffin and Jordan Jr. and Barnes of their jobs, this thing came to steal my jobs again?" Paul looked at Chen Lei depressedly, is this guy going to provoke the anger of the public?
"I've been looking at him for a long time!" Little Jordan glanced at Chen Lei like a confidant, and then looked at Paul aggrievedly, "Brother, we should blacklist him." ”
"Me too!" Barnes nodded as well, "This guy is really annoying. ”
"And me!" Crawford also walked over, "Uh...... Although our positions are not at odds, I always feel that he will still come to the second position, so I have to be on the side of justice as a precaution. ”
Looking at his teammates who were overflowing with cold light, Chen Lei shuddered for a moment, and raised his hands weakly, "Four big brothers, what did the younger brother do wrong?" ”
The four of them looked at each other and then laughed at the same time, and one by one raised their heads to defend as if they had succeeded in their treacherous scheme.
"Holy!" Chen Lei secretly took a sip and chased after him.
At the end of the third quarter, under the overall control of Chen Lei's oversight, the Clippers stabilized the fluctuating advantage and did not give the Warriors a chance to equalize the difference, leading the Warriors by 7 points at 92:85 at the end of the third quarter.
Chen Lei, who was not good in the first quarter, was fighting back at the moment, and the end of the third quarter of the personal count was already close to perfection.
The scoring is not very high, only 15 points, but he has reached 9 assists and 7 rebounds at the moment, and he is really heading for a triple-double as Griffin and others said.
"If the first playoff game was so efficient it was too exciting, the second game was some luck, the third game was luck again, then the fourth game, I don't think people will associate him with luck anymore, right?" Looking at the personal numbers of Chen Lei and Paul, Griffin and Curry on the central screen, Tu O'Neal sighed, "After the game, I want to talk to this fat man well, and I must not let him slip away." ”
Barkley pouted, "This can indeed be done, but what I want to tell you is that he is also a rookie, why do you get so excited about a few wonderful performances?" As for the brothers? Although you are not as good as me in terms of experience, you can be regarded as having experienced strong winds and waves. ”
O'Neill shook his finger, "You don't understand, it's an invisible attraction, an indescribable connection to the heart." ”
"......" Barkley.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Chen Lei did not play, his body entered a state of fatigue at the moment, and the sweat would gush out again in the next second after wiping the sweat, and he had to rest.
The rest of the group was not in very good shape, and the 2-minute break did not recover much, and the main team had a battle at the end of the third quarter, so this fourth quarter could only rely on Collison and Redick and others who rested for a few minutes.
The Clippers players are tired, and the Warriors are not in good shape, like the Clippers, their main force is also exhausted most of their energy, and they are also leaning back in their chairs at the moment.
As a result, the fourth quarter of the two sides was much less passionate than the first three quarters, and the game entered a short transition period after more than 30 minutes of hard fighting.
And this transition has become the key to this game, and it has become the key to this series.
In contrast, the Clippers still have some advantages, and the outside combination of Collison and Redick plus the inside partnership of Granger and Davis still has a clear advantage over the Warriors who play purely off the bench.
Granger didn't play much in this series, and after returning from injury, he was cleaned up by his old club and then bought out by his new club, and the Clippers are his third team this season.
Although he usually says little, there is still a trace of anger in his heart, and he still wants to prove himself. Hope.
I'm not bad, although it's not as good as before, but I'm still me.
After playing in the fourth quarter, Granger only grabbed a rebound in the first minute, and did not pay anything else, and in the fourth quarter, 1 minute and 2 seconds, Granger took his pass after blocking Collison and jumped out of the three-point line and directly hit a three-point bombardment, sending the basketball to the basket for the Clippers to widen the gap to 10 points.
In the ensuing defense, Granger stole Armstrong's pass and helped his team score two more points to extend the margin to 12 points.
"A big explosion?" Chen Lei, who was leaning on the chair off the field, looked at Granger in the field and smiled, "That's great, it's best to make the score difference wider." ”
Chen Lei's joke became an amazing success prediction two minutes later, Granger scored 4 points with a mid-range and a foul, and opened the fourth quarter with 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, leading the team to a wave of 14:4 offensive high. At 3:34 in the fourth quarter, the Clippers extended their lead to 17 points at 106:89.
The Warriors made lineup changes during this period, bringing Curry and Iguodala back to the court early in the second minute, but the return of the two did not get the Warriors out of trouble, but allowed the Clippers to seize the fluctuation of their eagerness to chase points.
"It's over......" Jackson felt that all the energy in his body had been drained away, and the 17-point advantage, how could he chase it?
At 3:49 in the fourth quarter, the Clippers also returned to the court, and when Paul, Crawford, Chen Lei, Griffin and Jordan Jr. all appeared on the court, the Staples Center fell into the highest point of cheers of the day, and the cheers spread throughout the arena.
All the fans gave up their chairs and watched the game less than four minutes into the fourth quarter, opting for stand-up because they all had a premonition that the most crucial moment of the series had arrived.
However, although it is a big lead, the Golden State Warriors and Clippers, who are known for their outside scores, still can't be taken lightly, and they almost staged a 15-point advantage today, so the 17-point advantage has to be treated strictly.
Because of this, Rivers did not relax in the slightest, sending out the team's strongest offensive lineup, and wanted to break down the opponent's defense with a steady score.
The five will return to Crawford to take the lead in scoring a ball with a breakaway, and after the Warriors hit a three-point shot, Paul turned around and made a shot with a mid-range shot, although the Warriors' outside touch was relatively efficient in shooting 3 of 5 in the middle of the fourth quarter, but the Clippers' offense did not miss a few times.
Time is regressing, the score difference has not narrowed significantly, and the Warriors' player sentiment has slowly declined, and the state has become unstable, Iguodala, who has just broken through, looked at his teammates who were clenching his fists tightly as his fighting spirit was collapsing.
"Defense~" Iguodala roared to the sky and turned and ran to the backcourt.
"Huh!" Chen Lei went to the front court, took Paul's pass, activated a critical attack, and responded to Iguodala's roar with three points, pouring oil on this fire-soaked game again.
The Warriors chased another wave at the end of the fourth quarter, using foul tactics Curry used two three-pointers to help the team chase the difference to 9 points, while Rivers replaced Jordan Jr. and put Chen Lei in the center position and replaced Barnes with small forward, which raised the free throw shooting percentage of players on the floor a notch.
In this way, the Warriors' foul tactics did not play much role, three fouls, one foul on Chen Lei, two times Barnes, both of them scored the ball, making the Warriors' chasing points completely utopian.
125:113, the Clippers did not give the Warriors a chance to turn the tables in the fifth game of the first round, and directly locked up the victory of the game with a round of attack waves at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
(Slightly tired, every day is a thing, but the dad tries to be two more, the group is so lonely, begging for nonsense to accompany him.) )
