Chapter 505 Button Griffin (Fourth More!)
Davis' toughness is beyond imagination.
Griffin's performance was just the opposite. As the party who took the initiative to provoke troubles, his performance after returning from the conflict was extremely lost and he made various iron-making mistakes.
The Clippers barely maintained the situation with the Pelicans relying on Paul's continuous output.
But even so, at the end of the three quarters, the Clippers still trailed the Pelicans by as much as 14 points.
With the intensity of the playoffs, this is already a very big difference.
The Pelicans have great hopes of winning Game 3.
The situation is very favorable for the Pelicans.
However, within just two minutes of the opening of the fourth quarter, the situation suddenly changed.
The Clippers' "Twitch King" Crawford suddenly felt the touch, scoring 2 three-pointers and a mid-range shot, instantly reducing the point difference to 5 points.
This is Crawford's style of play. When he is hard, Kobe will back away, but when he is accurate, he is a super giant outside.
He is now in a super giant state on the outside, and Williams has no time to react.
Williams called Tang Tian up in advance, but just before the ball was dead, Crawford faced Holiday and scored a layup.
After a wave of 10-0 individual scoring, the Pelicans' lead was only 4 points left.
At the trade deadline, the Clippers management felt that Crawford was too old and wanted to trade him away from the team.
But fortunately they didn't trade, and Crawford pulled the Clippers back from the cliff.
Crawford helped the Clippers continue their lives, and Paul also continued his excellent form. After returning, he helped the Clippers bite the score.
In the last minute of the game, the Clippers were still 3 points behind the Pelicans. They had the ball and still had a chance to tie the score or even win the game.
Paul organizes with the ball outside the three-point line.
"Defend! Defend!"
The cheers of the fans at the scene were overwhelming.
Although New Orleans is a small city, the enthusiasm of the fans really does not lose to Los Angeles.
The Pelicans defended well on the court, and Redick and Griffin had no chance to run and cut.
There was not much time left in the attack, Paul finally called Griffin to play a pick-and-roll, and after dismantling it, he made a signature dry pull before shooting.
Tonight, he has scored 28 points relying on this steady mid-range.
But he made too many shots like this, and Davis predicted another shot this time.
He leans back in the air.
Several big killers of the league's active super giants, James' breakthrough, Kobe's fallback, Durant's jumper, etc., include Paul's mid-range.
Most of the time, Paul's mid-range opponents can't guard against him, and his timing of grabbing the mobile phone is too perfect.
"boom!"
But this time is obviously not most of the time. After Davis's prediction was successful, although Paul leaned back, he still didn't avoid his long arm.
With a big hat, Davis directly slapped Paul's shot back.
Davis' 6th block of the game!
The cheers of the fans at the scene have exploded, and Davis's presence on the defensive end is overwhelming tonight!
In the competition for the outside floor ball, Paul jumped very quickly, but Holiday was faster than him, and called a timeout after embracing the ball.
In the last 40 seconds, the Pelicans had the ball!
Now they score this goal, the game is basically a certainty.
The fans at the scene had already stood up at this time, and they couldn't wait to celebrate the team's victory.
If this game can be won, it will definitely be the happiest thing for them this year.
After the timeout, the Pelicans replaced Anderson, and the space on the field was widened. After Holiday sent the ball to Tang Tian, he also took the defender away.
The key attack must be Tang Tian's attack.
The Pelicans opened up a lot of space, and the Clippers didn't double-team the first time.
Tang Tian glanced at the timer, but did not rush to attack.
Time passed bit by bit, and the tension of the fans at the scene was brewing little by little.
When the time entered about 30 seconds, Tang Tian called Davis to mention the pick-and-roll from the three-point line.
This choice was a bit unexpected for Rivers. After all, if there is no double team, Tang Tian is most likely to play singles.
But what Tang Tian hit was this surprise.
If the Clippers' timeout is not arranged, then how to choose depends entirely on the Clippers players.
Davis put up the pick-and-roll, and Jordan chose to double-team Tang Tian.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball back.
Davis flew to the basket at this time.
Griffin retreats to the basket from the corner.
Tang Tian now has two options for passing the ball, either to Davis or to Anderson.
Of course, the premise is that he can pass the ball.
Barnes cat's waist was sealed down the road, and Jordan stretched out his hand to seal the road. The double-team cooperation between the two was well done.
Tang Tian made a pass, he neither hit the ground nor passed through, but directly threw it over the basket.
Davis jumped into the air after seeing it.
Griffin had shrunk to the basket by this time, jumping up to block Davis' lob.
"boom!"
The two had a physical confrontation in the air.
Davis caught the ball first with his long hand, and then concentrated all his strength on the right hand that caught the ball, and smashed it directly to the basket.
Griffin's confrontation is stronger than Davis. At this time, after the confrontation, Davis is pushed out.
But Davis also tried his best, and Griffin smashed the ball to the basket with his right hand.
At this time, the advantage of long hands came out.
Although his body is being pushed outward, the distance between his hands and the basket is still getting closer.
"Boom!"
Davis leaned halfway in the air and smashed the ball into the basket through Griffin!
Davis, dunk Griffin!
In the second game of the series, Griffin dunked Davis, and Davis dunked it back this time!
Come and not reciprocate!
And Davis's buckle is obviously cleaner!
"Anthony~~ Davis!!"
A live DJ pulls out the tune.
The entire New Orleans arena was boiling.
After being crossed by Griffin, Davis continued to respond and his performance continued to climb.
The buckle just now came directly to a climax.
What could be a better response than such an empty spacer button!
Davis was very calm after the dunk landed this time, and when he saw Tang Tian approaching, he jumped up with a smile and bumped his chest.
He can now personally feel his own growth, the feeling of sublimation, and he feels more happiness than excitement.
The Clippers called a timeout.
"AD! AD!"
Davis was off the field, and the cheers of the fans at the scene were completely unstoppable.
Davis smiled and waved to the fans, but after he stopped, he looked at Tang Tian like a fan.
He knew why his change came from, Tang Tian really deserved the nickname of Godfather.
The last 20 seconds.
If the Clippers want to win, they must quickly get a 3 or 2 points, and then foul immediately.
After Davis dunked the ball alley-oop, the chances were slim for them.
Front serve.
Griffin served from the outside, and the Clippers had tactical moves on the field.
Redick circled the pick-and-roll, and it seemed that the Clippers were going to grab a 3-pointer.
But Griffin slammed the ball to the basket.
3 points is just a feint, they are going for a quick 2!
"Snapped!"
But as soon as the ball was out of Griffin's hands, Tang Tian suddenly rushed out from the side, jumped up and broke the ball directly!
The Clippers' offense was successfully predicted by Tang Tian!
This steal also directly cut off the last hope of the Clippers!
