Chapter 193: Who's the Last Vote?
At 102:102, the two sides entered the 11th tie at 10:29 of the fourth quarter, and Popovich also chose to call a timeout at this point.
"Is it that hard? A young team? Fan A said angrily, could it be that the water was released?
"Don't say that, the Clippers don't have the strength to get to such a position? It's the Western Conference Finals, and it's normal for them to play with their lives. Fan B replied, the opponent is very strong this year, there is no need to insult my Spurs!
"Come on Spurs, we haven't seen enough this season." The fan shouted at the stadium with his hands in the shape of a trumpet, he was still looking forward to the finals.
…… The fans are talking, and the team tactics in the field are also in full swing.
There are still a minute and a half in the game, the two sides are tied at the moment and return to the same running line, and changes need to be made at this moment, even if it is a three-two-point advantage, it is worth looking forward to.
"I've seen it all, this game is not so easy" Rivers sighed, "Chen is on the lineup to replace Barnes, other positions remain the same, remember not to make unnecessary moves, we can't afford to commit even one foul at this moment." ”
On the offensive end, Rivers didn't emphasize too much, but seized the time to invest a lot of spittle stars in defense, explaining that if you want to win this game, you must defend the Spurs for the last minute and a half.
At the moment, the ball was in the hands of the Spurs, and after returning from a timeout, the Spurs used a small three-man cooperation with Leonard to end the ball, and the basketball landed firmly in the basket, bringing two points to the team.
At 10:33 in the fourth quarter, the Clippers 102:104 Spurs.
"Don't be in a hurry, steady the rhythm! Offensive! Paul yelled after receiving the ball and slowly controlled the ball and walked to the frontcourt. Hold the ball with your right hand and swing your left hand vigorously in the air. Seeing this, Griffin on the inside slowly moved outside the three-point line.
Paul stopped when he reached two meters beyond the three-point line. Let the time pass but remain unmoved.
Seven or eight seconds later, Paul moved, slowly moving towards the three-point line and stretched out his left hand again, Griffin quickly rushed to Paul when he saw this, and turned and ran to the basket after Paul successfully blocked it.
Paul rushed to the penalty area one step ahead of Griffin, and with Griffin following behind him and Parker in hot pursuit, the paint area began to crowd.
"Whoosh!" When Paul reached the depths of the basket and faced Duncan, he threw the ball backwards and threw it at Griffin, and the white monster basketball that followed after the pick-and-roll was handed into his right hand and jumped into the air.
With his right arm raised above his head and his body began to glide towards the basket, Griffin, who had just risen, felt a strong force coming from his right hand that grabbed the ball.
"Smack!" A figure flashed from the oblique side, and then a strong attack came in his hand, and at the same time, a crisp sound sounded, and the afterglow swept away, and the basketball in his hand was no more. Behind him was a white jersey and the logo of the wheat ear ditch to indicate his identity.
Leonard!
Gave Griffin a hot pot shot at the critical moment!
"Beautiful Leonard!" The Spurs bench players on the sidelines stood up and applauded, and the fans at the scene also boiled.
This hat, beautiful, is also very important.
Crawford slammed into the corner to grab the basketball before Ginobili, and the time was limited to bounce straight into the air and shoot a three-pointer away.
"Bang!" The basketball smashes the basket and bounces off, misses!
The Clippers, who had nearly exhausted all 24 seconds, missed the shot, and the Spurs, who grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, pushed the ball to Duncan in a wave and sent the basketball to the basket with a mid-range back-to-back hook.
With 55 seconds left, the score was 102:106. The Clippers trailed by four points.
"One more crit and one trick!" Chen Lei was slightly puzzled and decided to use the skill, and if he didn't use it, there would be no chance.
"This ball. I got it! After picking up the basketball and passing it to Paul, Chen Lei said in a low voice, Paul glanced at Chen Lei and nodded.
Time is limited, Paul no longer suppresses the rhythm, after the half, during the quick break, Chen Lei fell to the right side at a 45-degree angle, three points and two meters away, a fake burst on the right attracted the next Leonard, and threw the ball to Chen Lei.
"Oops!" Leonard secretly regretted that he had just moved a step back and was about to intercept Paul, how could he bring defensive restrictions to this rookie at this moment two meters away from Chen Lei?
Just as he regretted that he was too far away from Chen Lei, Chen Lei took a step forward and narrowed the distance between him and Leonard.
"Law...... Gram! Leonard looked at Chen Lei in wonder, isn't this guy's three-point range two meters away from the legendary three-point line? Why didn't you make a move in that position just now, but took a step towards your side?
"Whatever! I'll see how you make a move this time! Leonard happily rushed towards Chen Lei, fangs and claws and menacing.
"I'm afraid you're coming too slowly!" Chen Lei smiled secretly in his heart, handed over the basketball to the top of his head with both hands above his head and squatted slightly with his legs, and when Leonard arrived closer, his slightly bent legs rose rapidly, and the basketball was also raised above his head.
"Don't think~" Leonard roared and rose into the air, Chen Lei's three points he was impressed, it was completely unreasonable.
"Huh? People pinch? However, after taking off into the air, Leonard did not find the big fat man on the same level, and at this moment, he was the only one in the air.
"The air above seems to have a hint of conspiracy...... "Leonard saw that Chen Lei was only starting to rise at this moment, how could he not know what the other party was, and he could only blame himself for being too anxious when he was put on a rookie position.
Chen Lei, who activated the critical attack, jumped straight to Leonard, hit Leonard and pushed the ball towards the basket at the same time.
The crit bonus is such a miracle, the basketball that left his hand rolled and fell into the basket, and the referee walked up to the two.
"Toot ~" The referee blew the whistle that was extremely harsh for Leonard at the moment and waved his arm at him at the same time, the attack was effective, and a free throw was added!
"Ox X!" Yao Ming, who was on the sidelines, unconsciously burst into a foul language, this ball is too beautiful.
It's not just skill for a rookie to get a three-point foul on a player who has been in the NBA for years, especially in a crucial moment like the fourth quarter, which is more of a test of the ball-carrier's brain to keep its cool and count every second accurately.
"This little guy, if there is a good helper, then the Chinese men's basketball team ......" Yao Ming muttered softly, looking at Chen Lei, who was shooting the ball out, a slight fanaticism flashed in his eyes, "If you can get him to the Shanghai team...... Forget it, how is this possible! ”
At 11 minutes and 17 seconds in the fourth quarter, 106:106 was tied again, and the two sides returned to the same starting point again.
Spurs pause!
"Apache, handsome!" Bullock gave Chen Lei a thumbs up.
"Key Xiansen, you are our hero." Collison also stepped forward and hugged Chen Lei.
"Attack!" On the Spurs' side, Popovich said three words lightly and began the final tactical arrangement.
The time allows them to have two offensive chances, and all they need to do is control the time and keep them in possession twice and the Clippers with one remaining.
And the Clippers praised Chen Lei for a while, and then they were also in full swing in tactical arrangement.
"Clever hand, it's time to make a move." Chen Lei thought to himself, in the last forty seconds, if you insist on it, the finals will come.
After the timeout, the Spurs lineup was adjusted, Dio was replaced off the court with Split, and Ginobili was also replaced.
After serving, the Spurs did not rush to attack, and when there were 30 seconds left, Parker took two steps to throw the ball.
"Huh!" This sound of the net is extremely crisp, in this arena, at this moment, it is like a heavenly sound.
"What a!" Looking at the boiling fans around him, Chen Lei said depressedly, sending the ball out and running to the backcourt.
With only 30 seconds left, there was one chance for the Clippers, but apparently the Clippers would not have chosen that way, and Paul burst through the half-court three-point line and fired straight away.
In the fourth quarter, Paul had been hiding his offensive blade for a long time, and he no longer hesitated at the critical moment.
And Spurs fans have also begun to pray that Paul misses this goal, and every shot of the Clippers at this moment.
"Huh!" Just as the Spurs fans were praying, Paul's ball turned into a cold arrow and shot directly into their hearts.
At 109:108, the Clippers overtook with only 25.8 seconds left.
It sounds so beautiful. Chen Lei looked at Paul happily, and the finals were one step closer.
The Spurs' offense began to suppress the rhythm, and Parker didn't pass the ball and Chen Lei didn't have a chance to use a good hand, after all, he couldn't walk up to Parker and make a steal.
When there were three or four seconds left in the offensive time, Parker passed the basketball in his hand, and Green became the finisher of the attack, and the basketball once again crossed an impressive parabola and flew towards the round iron basket a few meters away.
"Huh!" The ball goes in.
"Boom!" The AT&T Center Arena was boiling directly, and everyone stood up excitedly, watching the man who had just shot chanting his name.
Green, once again suffocated the Clippers with his own three-pointer, with 1.9 seconds left on the clock, 109-111, and the Spurs led by two points.
At this moment, he is a hero of the Spurs, and he is the pride of San Antonio.
"There's still hope!" Clippers fans thought that the game wasn't that bad yet, that at least the Clippers had one more offensive chance, and they also had a timeout to serve at halftime.
Suspended, the Clippers opted for a timeout.
"To whom will the final attack be handed over?" Rivers rubbed his face and asked, most of the Clippers players looked at Chen Lei.
"Don't!" Chen Lei shook his head and waved his hand, joke, if you don't crit my three points, I'm a scumbag.
"The shadow last time made me have a lore phobia, and give me the ball I swear it's going to disappoint everyone." Chen Lei can only find such a reason: "But I can pass the ball." ”
Rivers sighed, then tapped his temple and said, "Paul, Redick, Crawford and Barnes, you guys are on standby, whoever gives Chen's ball to will throw the ball, believe in yourself, you are all the strongest three-point store in the league, and also the biggest stick of my Clippers, right?"
