One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 626: : Match point

107 to 104, the anxious score is enough to reflect the excitement of yesterday's game. The Mavericks and the Clippers, and Yiyang and Paul refused to give up to each other until the final second.

The victory of this game undoubtedly established Yiyang's position as the top point guard in the league. In the whole game, Yiyang was able to keep up with Paul's rhythm and bite the score. At the critical moment, Yiyang was able to defeat Paul from the front and complete the lore.

It's not that Chris Paul has never lost, but it is indeed rare to fall into a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.

After losing the game to the Clippers, the media in Los Angeles were finally quiet. The photos of Yiyang showing her skin color to the camera after the lore spread to every corner of the world.

What's wrong with the yellow race? Yellow skin can also defeat your greatest star! After this game, Yiyang also joined with Bill Duffy to formally condemn the media that used inappropriate and insulting words in the news.

Those clowns who were jumping up and down 24 hours ago are now worried for their own survival. After all, things about race can be big or small in the United States. With the influence of Yiyang and Duffy, as long as they want, they can really hold on until your newspaper closes.

In Chinatowns all over the United States, Yiyang's huge posters are hung everywhere, and people wear Yiyang's jerseys and sneakers. The influence of No. 1 has long spread beyond the basketball court.

Yiyang and Mavericks won a big victory, but for the Clippers, their situation is quite dangerous.

The cruel fact is that in the history of the Clippers, they have never comeback when they are 1-2 behind. The current situation is undoubtedly very serious for them.

Although Yiyang's victory in the last game was a big hit, he knew very well that it was not time to enjoy the fruits of victory. Once complacent at this critical moment, whoever will become the next loser.

And the playoff schedule is quite dense, just one day off, the two teams will fight again. The severe situation and the tense time make the players have no way to think about anything other than the game.

At 7:30 p.m. on May 11, the fourth matchup between the Clippers and the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals still started at Staples Center.

This game is almost the last chance for Paul and the Clippers. If they lose again, the total score becomes 3-1. Then back to Dallas, the Clippers have a very small chance of winning.

Therefore, it is conservative compared to the previous game. In today's game, the Clippers played very aggressively as soon as they came up.

Their offensive desire is very strong, and they want to shoot the Mavericks to death as soon as they come up.

Griffin's impact on the basket caused Dirk to commit two fouls early. After Marion played, Griffin's defensive effect was not ideal.

Paul's organization allows both Redick and Barnes to play a role. The Clippers players felt very hot today. Redick made frequent hits from outside the three-point line, and even Barnes, a defensive champion, also performed well on the offensive end.

After entering the rotation time, Jamal Crawford, the sixth man of the season, is not to be outdone and continues to expand the advantage for the Clippers. Fortunately, today Yiyang's substitute Darren Collison performed well, which did not allow the Clippers to continue to widen the difference.

With 32 points in a single quarter, the Clippers scored a very high score. After the first quarter, they got a 9-point lead.

"The Clippers are really crazy. They know that they have no retreat! If this game cannot be won, the entire series will lose hope. Therefore, they treat this game as the last game. Fighting!"

Mike Brin’s analysis is correct, the Clippers and Paul really both played this game as the last one.

They will not consider what physical fitness is allocated, and they will not consider any stable situation. If this game cannot be won, all they have done will be in vain!

After the start of the second quarter, Paul finally exploded. He succeeded again and again on the court, scoring 8 points alone. Yiyang's defense is still very tight, but with a height of only 1.83 meters, he can always magically throw the ball in interference.

The Clippers fans tried their best to cheer, maybe this No. 3 can really lead them out of the siege and out of the predicament. Losing to Yiyang in the last game does not mean that Paul will miss every game.

In the second quarter, the Clippers' offensive was stronger than before. Fortunately, at the last moment of this quarter, Yiyang and Dirk teamed up to play a 7 to 1 offensive climax, which made the point difference stable and manageable. Within range.

56 to 45, 11 points difference weighed heavily on the Mavericks, the Clippers spared no effort to attack so that they still maintain control of the game.

Griffin scored 19 points in the first half of the game. His mid-range and breakthrough were exceptionally fatal. And Paul, who controls the team, also scored 15 points. The Clippers shot as high as 51.4% in the first half of the game!

"The Mavericks are going to be over. When the Clippers are fully fired, they simply can't stand such a powerful offense." The local commentators in Los Angeles seem to have grasped the straw, and the Clippers will not lose. This is not over yet. !

In the third quarter, the Clippers were still excited. As soon as he came up, Paul and Jordan were matched twice in a row. The city of empty connections is not a vain name.

The two dunks not only ignited the hearts of the fans, but also boosted the Clippers' morale. Later, Redick hit a mid-range shot and a three-pointer, which continued to widen the gap.

What the Mavericks can do now is to maintain the score. They can't make it super, but they are also trying hard not to let the Clippers continue to enlarge it. At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers, which consumed a huge amount of energy due to crazy offenses, had already begun to decline in their hit rate.

Carlisle smiled. His team has withstood the most violent offense of the Clippers! So next, it's the Mavericks' turn to perform.

After three quarters, the Clippers still retain an advantage of more than 10 points from 85 to 73. Want to chase 12 points in the final game, this is not easy for any team.

After the players were off the court, Carlisle turned to look at the Clippers players. The guys were panting one by one, and the violent ups and downs of their chests reminded them of their fatigue.

And what about the Mavericks players? Although they had been sweating profusely, they were still comfortable. The game has been exhausted now, and Carlisle has nothing to keep. When the players were all seated, Carlisle picked up the tactical board and squatted in front of everyone.

"The last quarter of the game, guys, we are still 12 points behind. But it doesn't matter, the Clippers guys are no longer good. They overdrafted their stamina early, and this is an opportunity we must seize! , I want you to play a fast-paced offense in the last quarter. Nick, you replaced Tony and gave me a fierce attack on the offensive end! As for the defense, all give me close press! From the half-time, I press close. Consume them, torture them! Victory will eventually be in our hands!"

Carlisle's open hand became a fist. With this fist, the Clippers are likely to be punched out of a big hole and sink to the bottom of the sea.

Yiyang succeeded in stealing at the beginning of the fourth quarter and quickly counterattacked with the ball by himself. Paul chased after him, but in the end he couldn't stop Yiyang from scoring, instead he gave him a chance to hit a three-pointer.

Yiyang scored three points with a penalty, sounded the horn of the Mavericks counterattack, and instantly reduced the point difference to single digits.

But the Clippers do not seem to be in a hurry. The sporadic resistance of the Mavericks is nothing to be afraid of.

However, when the Clippers players passed halftime, what happened to them was completely unexpected.

The halftime is pressing for defense, the Mavericks are going to fight the Clippers to the end! Facing the Mavericks' pressure, the Clippers persisted in the half-quarter game. But after half a quarter of the game, this costly play immediately caused the Clippers to have problems.

Their shooting percentage began to plummet, and tired players had no way to take shots calmly. The Mavericks rely on iron-blooded defense and Yiyang's horrible scoring ability at critical moments, and they can narrow the point difference by one goal. This process is like making a cut on the Clippers players.

Seeing Yiyang score frequently, see their advantage is getting smaller and smaller. In the face of the Mavericks' desperate pressing, the Clippers really have no good way.

If it was before, Paul, who was physically strong, could break through the press with speed. The strong Griffin can also use his body to dig out a path. As for Redick, he can definitely get a chance with his flexible running position.

But now, Paul has no strength to accelerate. Griffin is also unable to take advantage of melee internal combat when his physical fitness is almost overdrawn. Redick can't run anymore. Wherever he goes, Nick Young will follow him like a ghost.

However, this is not over yet. After half of the fourth quarter, Yiyang gritted his teeth and raised the pace of the game. This time, the Clippers were even more overwhelmed. They frequently miss people and can't help their counterpoint. Their defensive portal opened wide, and the gap of the blockbuster was penetrated by Yiyang's pass.

Nick Young shines in such a chaotic battle. This guy's style of catching the ball is just a dry style, which is very suitable for this kind of moment.

With 8 points, 6 points, 3 points, 1 point, the Clippers' advantage is slowly shrinking. Until 1 minute and 08 seconds were left in the third quarter, Yiyang assisted the unreasonable Nick Young after making the second three-pointer from beyond the three-point line. The Mavericks finally overtook after being suppressed for 47 minutes. Score! This is the first time the Mavericks have achieved a lead!

At that moment, the arms raised by the Clippers fans instantly weakened. Is this game going to be reversed like this?

In the subsequent offense, Jamal Crawford made a long shot from beyond the three-point line to help the Clippers again by one point. It seemed that he and Nick Yang had something to say to Biao.

But now Nick Young has actually learned well. He knows that in the last minute of the game, the ball is not his turn to shoot.

At the last minute, Yiyang once again became the Mavericks' first attack point. In front of the tired Paul, Yiyang repeatedly used cover to successfully break through. On the defensive end, the Clippers failed to score again under the oppressive defense.

Perhaps Crawford didn't expect that the three-pointer he scored would be the Clippers' swan song in this game.

In the last 8.6 seconds of the game, Griffin, who was too exhausted, couldn't even hit an open mid-range shot. Gobert grabbed the rebound, and the desperate Clippers had to resort to foul tactics.

Don't tell me, Gobert really saves face. Both free throws were missed, causing Carlisle to take a breath.

However, facing a 5-point difference, the Mavericks still take the initiative. At the last moment, Paul shot himself, stepping back and shooting outside the three-point line. It's a pity that Yiyang, who was very tightly guarded, caught the basketball and changed the trajectory of the basketball.

In the end, the basketball failed to fall into the net, but fell directly into the hands of Gobert, who had just jumped. Yiyang touched that one, making the ball a three-pointer.

At this point, there are 3.2 seconds left before the end of the game. It stands to reason that the Clippers shouldn't give up yet.

But the moment he missed the ball, Paul's mind went blank. He didn't foul the rules, nor did he return to defense, but just stood there blankly.

The electronic buzzer sounded, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but today's sound is particularly harsh. Paul lowered his head, not even daring to face the score on the big electronic screen...

"The Dallas Mavericks performed a beautiful reversal at Staples Center! He also had 30 points and 11 assists. His amazing performance is still the same and he deserves the title of MVP! 105 to 100, the Mavericks did not take the lead until the last minute. , And successfully kept it to the end." Mike Brin was already sweating profusely after watching the game. He couldn't believe how Yiyang and his teammates could calmly reverse in such a suffocating atmosphere.

"It's 3-1. The Dallas Mavericks won all two away victories and got the match point. Although the result of the series has not been finalized yet, the Clippers, I am afraid, it is more fortunate." Kevin. Harlan shook his head. The Clippers and Paul have been very good this season. They should have stepped into a more gorgeous stage.

But the NBA is like that. If you lose, you go, and if you win, you continue. No matter how great you are, no matter how hard you work off the court. Can't win, everything is in vain.

The lovely Chris Paul, his dream of the Western Finals, I am afraid that he has to postpone it for another year.
