Chapter 54 St. Paul
Among the disciples of Jesus, there was a man named St. Paul, who was regarded as a representative of wisdom and conviction. When the Portuguese sailed far away, they regarded themselves as the incarnation of St. Paul and preached to people in the Far East.

During the long voyage, St. Paul is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of these people.

Therefore, in the hearts of Catholics, St. Paul has a very high status, only under Jesus, and is the god among men.

The Clippers also have a spiritual pillar, and this person is the new Clippers captain-Chris Paul!

Of course, at some point, we can also call him - St. Paul!

And now on the field, it is time for Sao Paulo to appear!
Because of the explosion of the super sixth man Ginobili, the Spurs started to play well in the third quarter. The Clippers' ace sixth man Crawford is not Ginobili's opponent at all, and he is not good at it. The defense is simply a sieve under Ginobili's "serpentine breakthrough".

As for Jordan and Griffin, the air combat, air defense and basket protection capabilities are enough, but they are not enough to face Ginobili's Eurostep that is rampant in the world.

In the eyes of Ginobili, who is showing his strength, the Clippers' penalty area is like his own back garden. It is really a leisurely walk in the court to break in and score.

In the short 10 minutes of his debut in the third quarter, Ginobili shot from inside and outside, making 8 of 8 shots in total.Among them, 2 of 2 three-pointers were made, and Jordan and Griffin were fouled one by one, scoring two "2+1". Ginobili scored 20 points alone. I knew that the entire first half He only scored 4 points in the first half, and now he scored 10 times as much as he scored in the first half (5 points) in less than 20 minutes. "20-minute Jordan" is really not easy to mess with!

And the Spurs scored 10 points in just 35 minutes led by Ginobili!This kind of efficient scoring makes people wonder if this is the Spurs or the "Quick Whirlwind" Suns under D'Antoni.

Of course, the performance of the Clippers is also at a very high level. After all, the Clippers are also a strong team. However, the offensive led by Ginobili is too strong. The Clippers are pretty good in front of this offensive. Even the counterattack is a bit insignificant.

So what did the Clippers do in those 10 minutes?

They made a total of 7 three-pointers!13 of 7 from beyond the three-point line, and his shooting percentage exceeded 50%!It looks pretty good, and there are two mid-range shots, adding up to a total of 25 points!
But of the 7 three-pointers, 4 were scored by Redick, 2 were scored by Billups, and only one was scored by Crawford!
Moreover, of the 6 three-pointers missed by the Clippers, 5 were missed by Crawford!
It can be said that the reason why the Clippers fell behind was because Crawford was completely defeated in the matchup with Ginobili. Not only could he not prevent Ginobili's offense, but he also wasted a lot of shots on the offensive end. Opportunity, he faced Ginobili many times and forced shots without even making a basic feint!All unreasonable three-pointers with direct shots!

You know, although Ginobili's physical fitness is not top-notch, and his defense is famous from time to time, but first of all, he has experienced the finals and faced a dominant defense, so he is a lot stronger in experience.

Secondly, Ginobili played for the Spurs. The Spurs' defense has always been the top in the league. There is no one on the team who can't defend!Ginobili's defense is also above the league average.

Finally, if Crawford really turns on the true runaway mode, then these unreasonable three-pointers may be scored.

But it's a pity that Crawford can't control this real runaway mode, and he can't drive it if he wants to.Crawford is obviously not in that state today, but maybe he wants to win the duel with Ginobili too much, so he keeps trying to find that feeling, and the result is that a lot of opportunities are wasted.

Therefore, the reason why the Clippers are behind is because of Crawford's problem.

Then there's the matter of Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro, who put too much faith in Crawford in the third quarter and didn't bring in Paul early.Although his original plan wanted Paul to rest more (the first half was almost full), fortunately, he had sufficient physical strength in the fourth quarter of the decisive game.

But Billups is old after all, Crawford is not in shape, and Ginobili broke out on the opposite side today, the Clippers are already 10 points behind. If Paul is not replaced, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up in the fourth quarter. This [-]-point pit.

Paul is already in a hurry, how can he play in the fourth quarter if this continues, he hastily applied to the coach for a timeout, ready to go up to fight the fire, of course, at this time Paul has already started the Sao Paulo mode.

In desperation, coach Del Negro could only call a timeout and replace Paul. Of course, the other main players were withdrawn, after all, they had to work hard in the fourth quarter.

The Spurs also took advantage of this rest period to replace the host to rest. Ginobili successfully completed the task and took a rest.

After the timeout, Parker on the Spurs came up with Mills Grindio and Bonner as four substitutes to complete the minutes.

For the Clippers, Paul played with four substitutes.

Parker vs. Paul, a battle between two excellent guards, but now Paul is not an ordinary version of Paul, but an enhanced version of St. Paul!

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, how much the Clippers can recover depends on the performance of St. Paul.

The Clippers attack, Paul handles the ball, and faces Parker. Both of them are small and fast, but Paul is shorter and stronger.

Without time to entangle with Parker, St.-Paul directly made an extremely fast and large-scale change of direction in front of his body. This time, the angle between Paul and the ground was already smaller than 30 degrees!

"I'm going, don't you hurt your feet if you work so hard!" Parker was taken aback, it's okay to move so desperately!Parker hurriedly moved his body to make up for the defense!

But Paul felt as if he didn't feel any pain at this time, and he followed a worshiping Buddha in the opposite direction before finishing the change of direction!Just shook Parker away!
"Damn it! You're working so hard!" Parker was also amazing, he could brake suddenly when his center of gravity was unstable, and he rushed towards Paul with his left foot on the ground!

But it was too late, Paul took advantage of that momentary gap, raised his hand and directly made a three-pointer!
And Parker's block came just 0.5 seconds later, and he was only a little bit able to block the ball!

Three points scored!Sao Paulo pulled the score back to single digits as soon as they came up.

The Spurs attacked, and Mills signaled Parker to go upfield first, and then the lovely Mishen dribbled the ball across half court, trying to find an opportunity to attack.

But at the moment the Clippers' defense is good, and it is not so easy to find a gap. Mills can only pass the ball back to Parker.

However, it may be because the team still has a lot of leads, Mills passed the ball a bit casually, and the speed is a bit slow.

It's okay if it's normal, but now it's St. Paul who defends Parker, a real man who can explode all his strength for the team!
With a lightning-fast steal, Paul almost slammed into Parker's arms, but his prolific steals and ball-handling skills allowed him to break the ball and advance at high speed!
Naturally, Parker also accelerated with all his strength, constantly interfering with Paul with his body, but Paul's body was already stronger than him, and this little interference was useless.

I saw that the two of them almost went hand in hand, running towards the backcourt of the Spurs like two sharp arrows!
And Mills, who made a pass error, followed closely behind the two.

Seeing that he had come to the penalty area, Paul suddenly braked suddenly, his legs were aggrieved, and he was about to raise the ball for a layup with both hands!
Parker was caught off guard by the sudden stop and didn't stop the car for a while!Staggered a few steps forward!
Chance!Paul can go to the basket!
"It's not that easy!" Mills, catching up from behind, jumped up high. If Paul made a layup at this time, Mills would probably block the ball!
Just when Mills was ready for a big cap!The hand holding the ball in front of his eyes suddenly disappeared!
"What!" Mills turned pale in shock, how could it be possible!Looking back in the air in panic, Mills saw a scene that he will never forget in his life.

I saw Comrade Chris St. Paul quickly recover the ball with both hands and let himself pass by him.

Then he made a quick 360-degree back turn with his left foot as the axis!Then the right foot landed on the ground without stopping at all, kicked off the ground directly, and pulled the bar in the air with one hand to reverse the basketball!

And when Paul scored, Mills jumped too far and hit Parker who was about to return after slamming the brakes. The two fell out of the baseline together, looking very embarrassed.

At this moment, Paul, who is 183 centimeters, flew away Parker, who is 188 centimeters, and Mills, who is also 183 centimeters. This is a very rare event!
As expected of St. Paul, he came up with a three-pointer, a steal and a layup, directly reducing the point difference in half, and by the way, the morale of the Spurs brought up by Ginobili was severely beaten down!And it only took him thirty seconds to complete these things!

For the next minute and a half, St. Paul continued to show off, attacking and defending shoulder to shoulder.Not only did he attack by himself, but he also used a long pass throughout the court to make Billups, an old flounder, complete a fast-break dunk, which severely passed the addiction to dunking.

Fortunately, the Spurs still have Parker, who has won the FMVP.

Although Parker has no good way to face Paul who has turned on the "sacred" mode, at least Parker can provide the team with stable firepower. Two good small throws helped the team stabilize their position at the last moment. He held a weak lead and was not overtaken.

With St. Paul's ultra-long three-pointer at the buzzer at the basket at the last moment, the Spurs finally led by 2 points and entered the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter is the moment to decide the outcome of the game!
In the lounge, after Qin Yan recovered, he stood up and looked at the figure of Paul on the TV screen in the lounge, making up his mind:

St. Paul!See you in the fourth quarter!
