Chapter 453 The most embarrassing MVP
Just as the players were all tangled and ran out, Tang Shuai suddenly turned around, suddenly ran to the basket, and stretched his hand into the air.
Pierce then threw the ball towards the basket.
Tang Shuai directly squeezed away Iguodala who followed him and jumped up.
The NBA's timing starts from the player's receiving the ball, so the table will not go before Tang Shuai receives the ball.
Tang Shuai jumped high and headed towards the ball point that Pierce threw. The lifting bounce fully ensured that he had the ability to complete this move.
But just as he jumped, Draymond Green, who came from behind, also jumped up.
Tang Shuai reached out to order the ball in the air. At this moment, he felt a powerful force coming from under him, and Green forced a physical collision with him in the air.
The referee did not sound the whistle. At this last moment, unless he made a very malicious foul, he would definitely not sound the whistle.
His body shook, and he used his strength to withstand Green's interference, and his palms were a little towards the basketball.
Just as he was on the penalty kick, Green's movement reached its peak. He lost his center of gravity in the air and fell directly to the side.
The referee still did not sound the whistle.
"beep!"
At this moment, the final whistle sounded.
After being clicked by Tang Shuai, the basketball changed its original flight trajectory, like a striking ball, flying towards the basket under the attention of everyone on the scene.
A burst of light burst out from the eyes of the audience, and the mouth opened and the next second was about to shout.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the edge of the basket, spun around the basket, and then rolled in directly!
Countdown to the final kill!
After completing the quasi-final kill and Curry completed the almost-to-normal buzzer-beating kill, Tang Shuai completed the quasi-final kill in the countdown stage!
The audience exploded violently, and everyone raised their hands suddenly, and a hysterical cheer came from their mouths, which had been ready to go.
Jordan and Brewer rushed towards Tang Shuai immediately, followed by Pierce, Jeff Green, and then the teammates on the bench, all rushed towards the court.
"We won, we won!" Some viewers couldn't control their emotions and cried out excitedly.
“e.ill~k.tempt!”
I don’t know where to start, but this familiar melody resounded again above the center of Chestipus, with audiences crying and singing.
After Tang Shuai hit this countdown, the Clippers have already led the defending champion 3-1! Who would have thought that the Clippers, which lacked soldiers and the Clippers, would have made the series into the current situation, which is definitely the most incredible and shocking thing for NBA this year!
Tang Shuai was also out of control. Listening to the singing that resounded throughout the audience, his eyes could not help but turn red, and he held back tears and hugged his teammates one by one.
Tang Shuai's countdown shot was constantly replayed on the LED screen on the scene, and the singing of the scene was overwhelming.
"K. Seduce!" Tang Shuai suddenly reached out and raised his hand into the air and roared into the sky.
Ribbons spewed out of the sky, and the entire arena fell into a boil.
This is a glorious moment for the Clippers and Clippers fans!
The fans' celebration lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended. Judging from their reluctant expressions, this seemed not enough.
At the post-match press conference, Tang Shuai and Jordan Jr. attended the event with head coach Kassel.
Kassel was very excited. In the first year of being a head coach, he forced the defending champion with 73 wins into a desperate situation of 1-3. Not to mention the winning or losing of the series, just this one has already made him famous in the league.
After getting better, I was also having fun talking and laughing when facing reporters’ questions.
After the reporter interviewed Kassel, he then focused on Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai's performance in this game has declined compared to the previous game. He made 17 of 37 shots and finally contributed 43 points, but his two consecutive wins in the last moment made everyone remember him.
"Dang, your performance is incredible. You scored 40+ in four consecutive games in the playoffs, and you hit the final goal in the countdown stage. And you are a rookie, which is the first time in the history of NBA. I just asked out of curiosity, aren't you nervous or stage frightened in the game?"
"Yes, of course, I'm just a rookie." Tang Shuai said with a smile.
Tang Shuai's answer made the reporters on the scene laugh out loud.
"But compared to being nervous, I think the one who wins is obviously higher, so nervousness, stage fright, etc. are not that important." Tang Shuai said with a smile.
The reporter nodded with satisfaction while recording. When Tang Shuai finished answering, he asked again: "When the final winning goal, I noticed that you and Draymond had a violent physical confrontation in the air. Did that affect your winning goal?"
When the reporter talked about Green's problem, Tang Shuai joked: "I thought I would win an extra penalty, but you also saw that I just hit that goal."
Tang Shuai's humor once again made reporters laugh. Tang Shuai obviously minded the foul ball, but compared to his honesty between them, his way of expressing dissatisfaction at this moment was obviously much more tactful.
"The confrontation was very fierce in the game. Although it was a home game, the visiting team seemed to have enjoyed more whistles, especially at the last moment of the game. Do you think this is the reason for the anxiety of the game in the last minute?" The next reporter's expression was more direct and he asked directly.
Tang Shuai glanced at the reporter and then said, "Hey, my friend, you will get me fined by the league."
"But this is a good question." Just when the reporter was stunned, Tang Shuai continued to take the conversation and said, "Before this, I want to praise Stephen, he is an incredible guy. That long three-pointer was definitely historic, but as you said, I think the referee may have missed something. You have to know that in the previous round, Draymond was tripped by Draymond, and at the last moment, the air confrontation between me and Draymond was very dangerous. The referee wants to protect the players, not to indulge some fouls."
Tang Shuai finally chose to be outspoken and was ready to be fined. As he said, if he was repeatedly indulged in some foul moves, then perhaps someone would be injured at some point in the game. Compared to the fine of tens of thousands of dollars, he was more inclined to hope to protect his teammates through these words.
"After this game, the team has led the opponent 3-1, holding 3 match points. Now the Thunder are also unexpectedly leading the Spurs. Who do you think the opponent in the next round will be more likely?" the reporter asked.
"Hey, man, we're still in the series. I haven't forgotten that we were the last team that led 3-1 but was eventually eliminated." Tang Shuai said bluntly, and he was also reminding himself and his teammates, "So it's too early to be the next round, and we're focusing on the next game now."
On May 11, US time, the league announced the regular season MVP selection for the 2015-2016 season.
Curry won all 131 first votes and became the first regular season MVP in NBA history to be elected unanimously. This is an honor that Jordan, the "God of Basketball" has never had.
Curry's performance this season is the first player in NBA history to score 30 points with less than 35 minutes per game. NBA scored 402 three-pointers in a single season. With these honors alone, Curry's performance in the regular season this season is definitely a historical level. In the era when the league's stars are becoming increasingly scarce, unanimous votes are well deserved.
However, it is a bit embarrassing that the day the league announced the MVP vote was the second day after the Warriors lost to the Clippers. They were 1-3 behind, and Curry obviously was not in a big mood to receive the award.
For the Clippers, if they can finally eliminate the team that creates 73 wins and have unanimous votes and regular MVPs, it is obviously a unique thing. In a saying, for any player in the Clippers, it will definitely be a lifelong thing.
The situation is better for the lead 3-to-1, but Tang Shuai was not optimistic at all. Part of what he said at the press conference was for encouragement, and part of it was his true inner feelings.
After the last game, he used up all the single-time consumption packages. From the next game, he will no longer have any chance to "cheat". Judging from his performance in the past few games, without the single-time consumption package, he obviously cannot defeat the Warriors by his own strength.
On May 12, US time, the Clippers flew to Golden State to challenge the Warriors again. With three match points in hand, they will win any of them. Similarly, for the Warriors, they will be eliminated if they lose another game, creating the best historical record but can't even enter the Western Conference Finals, which will definitely become a laughing stock.
During the training before the game, the Warriors players were unprecedentedly low-key, and even Cole did not answer any questions from the reporter. This shows how much psychological pressure they are under.
The Clippers' morale was high, and they played in a thrilling momentum at the beginning. Unlike the previous four games, the score was not concentrated on Tang Shuai alone, but the first time they played more points. Thanks to the team's 60% shooting percentage, they led the double-digit score difference away from home.
However, Tang Shuai's concerns are not unreasonable, and the Clippers cannot always maintain such a big lead.
The Clippers' players played very hard, but their shooting percentage inevitably decreased, and their scores were caught up little by little and then overtaken. However, at the end of the third quarter, they relied on their fighting spirit to maintain the gap at 4 points, and they could still play in the game.
But the game changed after entering the fourth quarter. Kerr sent all the main players on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, completely in a desperate manner.
In fact, he was forced to find a desperate situation. If he didn't fight at this time, they would have some rest time next.
This desperate style of play has worked miraculously. Although Tang Shuai has repeatedly stood up and hit the key ball, he has no single consumption package and his ability is not enough to compete with the entire Warriors team.
Chapter completed!
