The four hundred and seventieth chapters shoulder the responsibility
Paul just made a comeback and didn't play for a long time, but his role was immediate.●⌒,
The most obvious point is that when Paul came on the court, Tang Shuai played more of the role of catching the ball, which greatly reduced his physical energy consumption during the offense.
In addition, Paul himself is also a great offensive deterrent. Although he basically does not break through to prevent the injury from recurring, his passes and shooting are still a huge threat, which was something that Tang Shuai had never led the team alone before.
88 to 85, with Paul's efficient performance and the cheers of the audience, the Clippers played at home with a full momentum. At the end of the third quarter, they still maintained a three-point lead.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul and Shuai Tang sat off the court, with Booker and Jordan playing as a substitute.
Durant is also playing with a group of substitutes on the Thunder.
In the Clippers' offense, Booker used Green's pick-and-roll to run outside the three-point line, received a pass from Ismail Smith, and raised his hand and took a three-pointer.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, the ball was decisive and quick. It was hard to see that he was just a rookie, but he had the style of Clay Thompson.
"Devin is getting more and more courageous now. I heard that he has been training with you, and this has really benefited a lot." Paul turned to Tang Shuai and said.
"We are just training together, and the most important thing is that he has a good talent." Tang Shuai said modestly. Although he often coaches Booker, Booker has always regarded him as the "boss" since he joined the team and gives some help to his "little brother". There is really nothing worth talking about.
The game on the court was still going on fiercely. Booker had just made a three-pointer, and Durant had caught the ball and shook it, then he followed Green's goal and responded directly to an animated rball, showing his superstar style.
When Jordan Jr. scrambled for the frontcourt rebounds and scored points, he turned around and played directly from the inside back. After turning around, his shooting shot also won the score for the Thunder.
The game was extremely anxious in such rounds of back and forth, but slowly, the Thunder took the initiative on the field. The main reason here was that the Thunder appeared at the third attack point.
Dion Witts, the Cavaliers' No. 4 rookie and a high-ranking rookie, was sold to the Thunder after training for two years without the potential of superstars.
When he first arrived at the Thunder, Waiters was still the same as when he was in the Cavaliers, he made random shots, did not work hard in defense, and even made many nonsensical mistakes. He was a typical "cancer" player who gave up, but all of this changed since his brother died in a car accident at the end of the season, and the cancer in his bones seemed to be removed as his brother passed away.
In the subsequent games, he always worked hard to defend and no longer made a fuss, but one thing that did not change was his self-confidence.
Playing around Shuangshao, whether it is scored or not, or whether it is a very difficult thing to take action at critical moments.
Not to mention that he felt good tonight, with a fast break layup, an open three-pointer, a breakthrough and a killing free throw. After his continuous performance, the Thunder finally made a wave of offenses, stopping the Clippers directly.
At this time, there were more than 7 minutes left before the game, and the Thunder took an 8-point lead of 99 to 91.
"Wake up, guys, look up at the score above your heads. If you don't want to get out in the next game, show us your fighting spirit without reservation!" Kassel shouted loudly at the players.
After the timeout, Kassel also replaced both Paul and Shuai Tang, and he also replaced Brewer. It seemed that he was really ready to fight back.
During the Clippers' offense, Paul made a "4" tactical gesture. After a tactic, Booker ran down and received the ball from the outside and shot.
"Bang!"
The basketball was thrown into the basket, but the luck was a little worse. After entering, he jumped out of the basket again.
The rebound was taken by Adams, and Westbrook directly made a fast break and ran to the frontcourt to directly press Tang Shuai to score a layup.
This goal also helped the Thunder expand its lead to double digits, which is also the biggest difference between the two sides in this game.
Westbrook, who scored the goal, seemed extremely excited. After roaring his head, he glared at Tang Shuai for several seconds without any concealment.
Tang Shuai frowned suddenly and pressed his fists with both hands. Westbrook really likes to provoke.
Seeing Tang Shuai's actions, Paul ran over and pulled him over and said, "Relax, this is just a goal. The team's winning or losing depends on your performance. Don't let everyone down."
Tang Shuai turned his head and looked at Paul in a daze. It was nothing that other teammates said. He didn't expect that Paul would say that too, which was equivalent to his greatest recognition.
He nodded. Paul had just returned from injury at this time. If the team wanted to win, the responsibility was more on him. He had to carry the heavy weight.
Paul saw him nodding, patted him on the shoulder and ran forward.
In the Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai followed Paul's tactical gestures to run, and broke away from Robertson's defense and directly cut at the basket.
Paul's attack on the earth appeared perfectly on his way forward.
But at the same time, Ibaka also appeared in front of him, and stood up straight and waited for him to bump into him.
Tang Shuai ran very fast in this ball. If he catches the ball and makes a layup, he will likely be subjected to an offensive foul by Ibaka.
In the flash, he glanced at Booker standing at the bottom corner of the right wing. Without thinking, after catching the ball with one hand, he used his other hand to tweak the ball over there.
The ball was so fast that it almost stopped in his hands. After passing the ball, he turned around and avoided Ibaka.
Booker took the ball and made a three-pointer.
With a "swish", there is still a three-pointer!
After Booker scored the goal, he punched the sky excitedly. This three-pointer was definitely worth a thousand gold.
"Let's win this game, let's win this damn game!" When he retreated to halftime, Tang Shuai shouted loudly to his teammates.
With Tang Shuai's roar, his teammates showed a strong sense of fighting on their faces.
Paul gave Tang Shuai a look of admiration. From this roar, it can be seen that Tang Shuai is ready to carry the team on his shoulders.
With the Thunder's offense, Westbrook used the pick-and-roll to get rid of the defense and rushed straight into the inside. His movements were very fierce and he was bound to win.
However, just as he entered the free throw line, Tang Shuai appeared in front of him at some point, protecting his crotch with both hands, and a decisive look on his face.
Westbrook rushed forward with all his strength, and the impact was probably not much different from a small tank. In this case, trying to create an offensive foul is a very dangerous thing and requires a lot of courage.
"Bang!"
Westbrook couldn't hold back and knocked Tang Shuai out directly.
Although Tang Shuai was surrounded by his bus, he still had the smell of a mantis arm hitting the car with his full strength. After he fell to the ground, he directly struck the photographer's crowd due to the effect of inertia.
Suddenly, a burst of people were overturned.
"beep!"
The referee reached out to the Thunder's backcourt and Westbrook made an offensive foul.
When the whistle sounded, Tang Shuai fell to the ground. Seeing the referee's gesture, he jumped up suddenly.
When he stood up, the breath in his chest came to breath and suddenly he felt a violent cough.
However, the light in his eyes was obviously worth the money compared to being knocked down.
In the Clippers' offense, Paul held the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Tang Shuai.
He could feel that the desire to fight was constantly emerging in Tang Shuai's eyes.
After Tang Shuai held the ball, the others consciously opened up the space. Facing Robertson's defense, he glanced at the basket, calmed down the center of gravity, and rushed in directly.
The Thunder's defense then contracted.
At this time, Tang Shuai had no intention of passing the ball. He protected the ball in his arms and suddenly accelerated again.
With a wind-like speed, Tang Shuai rushed between the Thunder's double-team defense at an extraordinary speed, and it was directly a drifting basket.
The basketball rolled steadily into the net bag!
The ball was extremely fast, and Tang Shuai couldn't control his body after taking action, and directly hit the blue frame. However, when he turned around and saw the ball in, he immediately clenched his fists.
The cheers at the scene burst again. With this layup, the Clippers once again caught the score to 5 points!
"Tang's offense and defense are very smart and tough." Mike Smith couldn't help but be moved by Tang Shuai's courage.
"The fighting ** in this kid's body is constantly appearing. I saw this temperament when he was playing against the Warriors. After two games of silence, I thought it had disappeared, but I didn't expect it to appear again!" O'Neal also sighed and said directly that Tang Shuai now made him feel the state of Tang Shuai's use of a single consumption bag.
Unyielding, competitive, and unrestrained.
After receiving the ball, Westbrook looked up at the score, his eyes full of fighting spirit. Although sometimes he was too passionate, Tang Shuai's strong performance undoubtedly aroused his fighting spirit.
He reached the frontcourt with the ball. He called Adams to make a pick-and-roll, leaned against Jordan and rushed into the inside. When he was only two steps away from the basket, he actually chose to force it and pressed the ball on the basket with his right hand, and wanted to dunk Jordan.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar. Of course, Jordan Jordan could not let him dunk him and directly blocked him.
Jordan's hand hit his head directly, and the audience in the front row could hear crisp sounds.
The referee immediately reached out and blew up Jordan's blocking foul.
The foul action of this ball was actually quite big, but he rarely did not complain to the referee like before, but went straight to the free throw line and hit two free throws steadily.
Donovan nodded constantly when he saw this scene. Westbrook, who calmed down, had absolutely doubled his lethality.
In the Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai made a round along the three-point line and then turned around and rushed to the basket, and Paul's pass followed.
Chapter completed!
