Chapter 238

At [-]:[-] p.m., the afterglow of the setting sun shone across Inglewood. Thousands of fans waved flags and stood at the gate of the Youtube Center singing Amazing in unison. The seventh final game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Clippers and the Lakers was about to begin.

In the tubing center, with the shouts of the announcer, the Clippers player Payton was the first to run out, and the cheers broke out simultaneously.

Kaman ran out immediately, Azubuike, Will Bynum and others also appeared one after another. The cheers of more than 9000 fans resounded through the center of the tubing, and Su Yang ran out last. It is like a fighter jet producing a sonic boom and bursting.

The national anthem began, led by Adam Levine of 'Maroon [-]', accompanied by elementary school students from the Inglewood community.

Taking advantage of his free time, Su Yang glanced at the technical table and found that the referee was Joe Crawford. He also found that Nicholson, a die-hard Lakers fan, was present. He didn't know if he got the tickets from the Clippers star fan. On the Lakers side, Kobe and Garnett were full of cannibalistic expressions, and Lagabel was also full of vicious expressions. There was a feeling that the entire Clippers team must be torn apart, and the fighting spirit was strong.

The playing of the national anthem came to an end, the lights in the arena were turned on, and the whistle sounded, indicating that the game entered the final stage of preparation.

Su Yang gathered the whole team around and said: "The last game of the series, this is an important battle in our basketball career, we need to concentrate, no matter what situation we face, maintain confidence and patience until the whistle at the end of the game sounded."

"YE!" Varejao and others shouted in agreement, and then the whole team joined hands shoulder to shoulder and shouted 123 in unison.

After finishing the ceremony, Su Yang walked to the technical stage, high-fived Kobe Bryant, fist-bumped Garnett, and winked at Scarlett, Amber, Lively and others sitting across the court. Then wave hello to Tom Cruise and other stars.

Inadvertently, I saw Ivanka sitting low-key on the second-floor stand.Looking at each other for a moment, the corners of Su Yang's mouth turned up slightly, thinking that it was a surprise that Ivanka came to the game without prior notice, and if he wanted to, then he would do it by himself, and the method was quite clever.

Without thinking too much, a short whistle sounded.

The starting players of the two teams enter the court and stand around the middle circle. Point guard Su Yang faces Cassel, shooting guard Ray Allen faces Lagabel, small forward Iguodala faces Kobe, power forward Varejao faces On Garnett, center Milicic on Chris Mim.

The game entered the jump ball session. The referee Joe Crawford held the ball and walked to the middle circle, listening to the announcer shouting and tossing lightly.

Cheers immediately resounded through the arena.

The Lakers won the jump ball, Cassel dribbled the ball forward, Mihm received the ball from the right wing, and the traditional triangle offense started, but the Clippers side Varejao pre-judged and Garnett failed to catch the ball immediately , can only pass to Kobe over the top of the arc.After a lot of tossing, he finally gave Garnett the right waist. However, the attack time was endless, and he hurriedly joined the ball and made a walking violation.

Su Yang turned around to catch the ball with his back at 45 degrees on the right side and was ready to score points first to open the situation. The three threats continued to shake and easily completed the breakthrough, which caused a foul by Lagabel who pulled his arm in a hurry. He turned to the sideline to kick off and met Bell Crazy around the front.

Su Yang did everything he could and used Milicic’s cover to catch the ball, successfully attracting Garnett’s defensive attention and causing Mihm and Bell to miscommunicate. Milicic took the opportunity to catch the ball and made a wide-open mid-range shot. Iron rebound.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound and pushed for a fast break. Garnett caught up with his left waist and back body ahead of time, causing Varejao's defensive foul.

Taking advantage of the kick-off time from the sideline of the Lakers, Su Yang called the whole team together: "It seems that the whistle-offs in this game will be very tight, but we don't have to be afraid. Don't be slack in defense. We need to maintain intensity and avoid the Lakers' side being overwhelmed by the high intensity. The defense benefits..."

The four of Varejao nodded in understanding.

The game continued, and the Clippers double-teamed Kobe and surrounded Garnett, not giving them an easy chance to operate.Seeing this, the Lakers' Mim quickly put up a 45-degree wall to cover, Cassel took the opportunity to launch a breakthrough, and Su Yang chose to go around the screen to intercept.

Anyway, Cassel made an emergency stop for a three-pointer.

But it may be because there is not much time left in the attack, Cassel really stopped and made a quick shot, and the basketball rebounded from the basket.

Milicic got the rebound and made a long pass, Su Yang caught the ball and rushed, hit two in the frontcourt, and scored 2 points with a fake fax layup.

Turning around, the Lakers asked Mihm and Garnett to play double screens, forcibly throwing Su Yang away, and made an emergency stop at the free throw line.

You go back and forth between the two teams, the Lakers got three fouls in 4 minutes, and Phil Jackson yelled and protested on the sidelines.

Seeing this, Su Yang thought there was no reason to protest. The referee was just blowing the whistle normally, and Varejao was a little bit body whistled. If he really went out and didn’t see the money, it would be a loss. The league praised it like that in the last game, but you didn’t win. Use it, the final lead is still too little.

While thinking about it, the referee whistled and called Ray Allen for a foul.

Ray Allen clapped his hands vigorously in protest. Su Yang raised his head and looked at the large central screen. The replay showed that when Ray Allen was defending Kobe's back-up, he put his hands on Kobe's waist together, and raised his elbow slightly, and then put it down quickly. You can blow it or not.

The referee chooses to call the penalty, and that can't be helped.

The game continues.

The Lakers kicked off from the right sideline. Kobe started from the right waist and crossed the paint with the help of Lagabel. The basketball was simultaneously transferred in the hands of Garnett at the top of the arc, forming a high-low connection in the blink of an eye. Against Allen who switched defenses.

The two were locked in a fight, and the referee suddenly blew his whistle, calling Ray Allen for violating the HC principle. When he put his left hand on Kobe's waist, he made an illegal movement.Ray Allen jumped up and shouted: "WTF? He is still looking for his center of gravity freely, how can I..."

What Ray Allen said was that Kobe could shake up and down freely, and it was impossible for him to apply a thrust, but Ray Allen stopped talking before he finished speaking, holding back his temper, worried that Crawford would call a technical foul, He turned around and walked to the right side of the field.

Su Yang stepped forward and patted his back to comfort him. A similar extreme situation had been predicted before the game, but it was just a little earlier or a little later.

I am also very angry, but as the boss of the team, there is no need to show it, which affects the mood of the whole team.

The game continued, Kobe continued to play back with the ball, the Clippers switched to Iguodala's top defense, and did not switch defenses for the time being.Lagabel took the opportunity to start with the screen, caught Ray Allen's time to squeeze through the screen, split into a split, and received a pass from Kobe to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

The Clippers immediately launched a counterattack, starting with an inside and four outside formation, shifting from left to right. Su Yang moved across the paint and moved from right to left at the same time. Lagabel, who turned around and wiped it easily, strode to the basket to attract Garnett's defense, and then divided Varejao, who was standing in a wide space, and then shot a rebound shot, which bounced into the net with a bang.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The Lakers made a triangle pass, Garnett circled around the left waist to avoid Varejao, received a pass from Cassel, turned around and started to rush to the basket, while the Clippers Ray Allen stood in the short corner on the right, heart Wanting a chance to make a steal, he immediately let go of Bell and strode forward.

Snapped!Ray Allen slapped the basketball off Garnett's hand, picked it up subconsciously, and prepared to launch a fast-break counterattack.

Beep!The bottom-line referee Steve Jarvie whistled and punished the beater, and Ray Allen accumulated 3 fouls in the first quarter.

"Falke!" Ray Allen yelled violently continuously, and Iguodala hurried forward to pull him away to avoid technical offenders.

Su Yang looked up at the big screen with a calm face, and found that Ray Allen did hit Garnett's palm, but according to "the ball holder's position is below the chest, and the defender starts in the direction where the ball is exposed, it is clearly a slap." The action and the four principles of hitting the palm for the purpose of hitting the ball should be the principle of one player just now. Garnett has not raised his hand yet, and Ray Allen is also obviously slapping.

The referee whistled for the thug's foul, that is, he didn't agree that Ray Allen was going towards the ball or that he didn't agree that he was exposing the direction.

There are many similar ambiguous rules in the NBA, and the power of interpretation is in the hands of the referee, and the players have nothing to do.

The league's intention to favor the Lakers is obvious. It may be to create suspense, it may be to suppress myself to lead the players to fight for more rights last offseason, or it may be other reasons, but no matter what the reason is, I must deal with it calmly.

A game is a game, thinking about other things, back to Santa Monica High School practice, already figured it out.

Then the announcer shouted, announcing that Wilkins would come on to replace Ray Allen, who had suffered three fouls.

Fans at the scene expressed concern.

Ray Allen's early exit will make Su Yang's space even smaller, and the breakthrough will be more difficult. The situation is very bad.

In the ESPN live broadcast, Bill Walton joked: "I don't think Ray Allen's early rest will not have much impact, because his shooting percentage in the past six games is average, and he doesn't provide much space to involve. Su Yang has already adapted ..."

In-court play continues.

The Lakers re-kicked off. Garnett succeeded in eating Varejao alone, and turned to lead the Lakers to double-team frantically. Su Yang temporarily chose to split the ball. However, Iguodala was 3 for 1 and Wilkins was 3 for 1. , Milicic even more exaggerated staged 3 for 0.

Fortunately, Varejao was stable enough, taking advantage of Garnett's large number of double-teams, receiving 6 of 5 passes from Su Yang, and biting the situation.

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the Clippers fell behind 23 to 31. Compared with the point difference, the worst was the team's 8 fouls.

After a short break, the second quarter will start.

Su Yang, who played 12 minutes in the first quarter, came on the field, and Tom Cruise and others on the sidelines shouted for cheer.The live camera focused on Su Yang's face, and he didn't see the slightest panic. Bill Wharton joked: "Maybe this is all in his expectation..."

The referee blows the whistle to time the ball.

The Clippers made a delayed start from one inside and four outside in the frontcourt. Su Yang stood in a short corner on the right. Seeing Payton dribbled the ball across the center line, he immediately used Kaman's screen to lift up to catch the ball, but actually stopped at 45 on the right. Speed, and Kaman took the opportunity to stand on the right waist.

Payton gave the ball from the right wing, turned around and rushed towards Su Yang, the two formed a split cross screen cooperation, Su Yang took the opportunity to rush to the right bottom corner area, raised his hand to receive the pass from Kaman, stopped suddenly and kicked off to take off, ignoring Ria The husband flew to block the block, and raised his hand to gain two points.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

The two teams switched offense and defense. Smush Parker and Turiaf played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. However, they rushed to the basket and failed to get rid of Payton. Brandon Bass, turning forward and throwing a big hook.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Kaman got the rebound, Su Yang caught the ball and launched a counterattack, rushed to the short corner on the left to attract the Lakers to double-team, and took off without looking at anyone while running and made a long pass to the right sideline. Hill caught the ball and ignored Luke Walton and turned around and swooped , Raising his hand is a long-range three-pointer.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Su Yang thought that the position was too bad to compete for, so he immediately blocked Garnett with his back. Seeing that Bass took the opportunity to rush to the basket to get a rebound, he immediately pulled to the left 45-degree three-point line, and Bass tacitly Turn around and pass the ball long, catch it in your hand and shoot a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Clippers caught up to 28 to 31, cheers resounded in the arena, and Bill Walton shouted: "I assure you, Su Yang has turned on the death mode at this moment. The last time I saw him in this state was in 04." March Madness Finals..."

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

The Lakers' frontcourt thugs cooperated with each other, but Lagabel was covered by Su Yang as soon as he received the ball, and did not get a shot. He quickly passed the ball back to Garnett, who was stuck on the left waist and back, and then swayed to the right. Left, using Su Yang's overreaction to get the bottom line.

Garnett passed the ball back at the same time, Lagabel caught the ball and started a three-step layup, while Su Yang turned from the 45-degree three-point line on the left and rushed to the basket, and jumped up from the edge of the paint. Aim at the basketball, stretch out your hand and slap it, and slam the cap on the board.

Cheers erupted in YouTube Center.

The basketball rebounded and flew upside down, Payton picked it up and launched a fast break.Su Yang landed and turned around to follow up. He took the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the frontcourt. He didn't need to cover. He started with a three-threat move.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

30 to 31, the Clippers were only 1 point away from catching up, and it took only 1 minute and 8 seconds. Su Yang's efficiency was frighteningly high.

Turning to the Lakers to attack, Smush Parker found a cover and rushed past the old Payton, successfully attracting Bass on the weak side on the left side to shrink the defense, and hurriedly chose to pass the ball, while Garnett received the ball and faced Kaman in rotation , and then divided into the middle of the free throw line.

Turiaf received the ball wide open, took off and threw it on the spot, but unfortunately the basket rebounded and fell after hitting the basket, and Bass got the rebound.

The Clippers launched a counterattack, and more than 9000 fans cheered and shouted. Su Yang caught the ball and rushed to the right elbow of the frontcourt. He stopped and pulled back under his crotch. He swayed to Lagabel who was intercepting with all his strength, and grabbed Garnett to fly. At the same time, he directly grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it in the mid-range shot.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Su Yang scored 9 points in a row, and the Clippers overtook 32 to 31. Lakers coach Phil Jackson got up and asked for a timeout.

The big screen in the center broadcasted the live broadcast to Su Yang, who walked to the bench and sat down calmly, as if nothing had happened.

On the top CCTV5 live broadcast seat, the commentator Yang Jian said: "Have you seen Su Yang's calm expression? Ray Allen's three fouls did not affect him, and the 8 points behind in the first quarter did not affect him. I think of a line in "Romance in Blood".

That is, those who have thunder in their chests and face like a flat lake can be worshiped as generals, and Su Yang will definitely lead the team to advance tonight. "
