The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 299 A High Price (The Ten Thousand Words Chapter)

For a traditional guard, the sudden misfire of a teammate is the worst thing that can happen.

In Memphis's two away games, Chris Paul has realized that facing the Grizzlies inside, the Pie Man is no longer reliable.

Li Ze scored 40 points in a row and still lost, which only shows that the offensive firepower is not enough.

Therefore, in the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, after the opening, Paul deducted the pass key, and the finger injury still had some influence. Therefore, after Li Ze was double-teamed and chose to split the ball, Paul began to rush inside.

With 1 minutes and 5 seconds left in the first quarter, Paul's breakthrough caused a foul by Pau Gasol, who was helping to defend, and successfully stood on the free throw line.

There was a burst of cheers at the Staples Center, and the head coach Hollins on the sidelines began to complain to the referee again:
"This is just a normal defensive action. Leave the game to the players. You must control the scale of whistleblowing in this game!"

Simple pressure could not change the referee's penalty. With Paul's two free throws, the score on the field became 14:16, and the Clippers took a 2-point lead.

As the first quarter of the game entered an official timeout, Reggie Miller said with emotion in the commentary seat of TNT:
"It can be seen that the Clippers have strengthened their rebounding efforts. Obviously, losing rebounds in two consecutive away games has attracted the attention of head coach De Nagro, but this kind of game rhythm is what the Grizzlies like. , So far, the Clippers have not scored in conversion."

Steve Kerr was particularly excited. He liked to see fierce competitions. He glanced at the technical statistics in his hand and immediately praised Li Ze's performance:

"I like Kayce's offensive choices. The most important thing is that his speed seems to be faster than everyone on the field. The Grizzlies' double-teaming is almost invalid. It takes less than 5 seconds from receiving the ball to completing the offense. 4 of 3 in the half quarter, 2 of 2 free throws, Kayce got half of the Clippers' points."

The commentator Kevin Harlan on the side began to worry about the Clippers' offense:
"Kayce scored 8 points, Paul scored 3 of 1 and scored 4 points, and Griffin scored 3 points on 1 of 2. The Clippers' offense is still a little weak, and most of the points come from the outside. In contrast, tonight The Grizzlies are blooming more, and the first five players have gained."

On the Clippers' bench, coach De Nagro had to take the veteran Ray Allen ahead of schedule, and Matt Barnes lost all vacancies twice after the opening.

The coaching staff can't care about physical fitness at this time, and must send everyone who can score to the field. Only after winning this game can they think about the next thing.

"Slots, everyone must pay attention to slots. We must protect the rebounds in the backcourt. When there is an open space on the offensive end, make decisive shots. Blake and Andrew rush to grab the rebounds in the frontcourt. We must strive to get more. Offensive round!"

Coach De Nagro began to yell at his players. If he loses another rebound in this game, the series will be over.

The two sides returned to the court. The Grizzlies' offense was simple and rough. After Mike Conley Gasol completed the pick-and-roll, he held the ball with his left hand at the top of the arc and accelerated his breakthrough. Noticing that Paul squeezed through the screen and chased behind him, Conley quickly passed the ball Back to Gasol at the free throw line.

After the inside cut, Conley moved to the right corner to open up the offensive space. Randolph began to ask for the ball in the low post on the left. With a simple high-low coordination, Marc Gasol quickly lobbed the ball to Randolph.

Griffin, who was behind Griffin, wanted to keep the opponent away from the basket. After Randolph turned around and attacked the frame, he made a simple three-threat, and then against Griffin's defense, he quickly shot a mid-range jumper!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily.

At 16:16, the two sides drew again, and Griffin clapped his hands in frustration.

When the Clippers attacked, Paul dribbled across half court, first firmly protected the ball, and then made an offensive gesture, indicating that the two big men should stay inside.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Clippers played Griffin's pick-and-roll a few times, and Li Ze's pick-and-roll turned into a double-team. As long as the black fat man has one person to protect the basket, Griffin's offense will be affected.

When Li Ze came to the left flank outside the three-point line to catch the ball, his body swayed to the right, lowered his body's center of gravity, took a quick tentative step with his right foot to the front right, then suddenly stepped forward to the left, and quickly crossed the dribble to break through.

From a simple three-threat to a breakthrough with the ball, Li Ze's speed is extremely fast, coupled with a low center of gravity, a large stride, and a sudden explosion, he almost passed Tony Allen in one step.

A sudden 45-degree cut from outside the three-point line, Li Ze, who is holding the ball in his left hand, accelerated with all his strength. In order to grab the rebound, Griffin and Jordan both fought with Randolph and Gasol under the basket.

When there was no room to attack under the basket, Li Ze broke through to the left block position. Li Ze quickly stopped, using his right foot as the axis, and suddenly pulled the ball backwards with his left hand, and then twisted his body forward violently. Fadeback jumper shot!
"Shua!" Two points and then scored!

Tony Allen was already paralyzed when he made an emergency stop and flicked his shot. He didn't even have time to react to the block this round. After the emergency stop, he froze in place, completely unable to keep up with Li Ze's rhythm.

Huge cheers broke out again at the Staples Arena, and the head coach Hollins on the sidelines immediately roared loudly, pointing at Li Ze, signaling to guard against receiving the ball.

The two sides began to enter the stage of responding to the ball again. The simple and rough style of play also made the two teams rarely make mistakes. Randolph missed the low attack on the right side, and the ball just knocked out of the basket. Dial, and successfully took off the offensive rebound on Xiao Qiao's head.

Then he threw the ball into the hands of Conley on the outside again. Coach De Nagro on the sidelines clapped his hands anxiously and kept loudly reminding him to protect the rebound.

In the second attack, Prince received the ball from the right flank, faced Ray Allen's defense with his right hand to accelerate the breakthrough, and then made a sudden stop. With his height advantage, he ignored the block and scored two points from mid-range!

The game has completely entered a white-hot stage, squeezed through the screen toughly, rushed to grab rebounds frantically, and both sides wanted to take the lead in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, as Mike Conley double-teamed Li Ze, he quickly distributed the ball to Paul at the top of the arc. Returning to defend against Conley chasing after him, he threw the ball to the basket casually.

"squeak!"

The referee whistled and gave Paul two free throws again.

Mike Conley was pissed off, but the little guard didn't complain to the referee, he just hammered his thigh angrily.

Paul made two free throws at the end of the first quarter, and the score between the two sides came to 26:28, with the Clippers leading by 2 points.

"In the first quarter, he made 4 of 2 free throws, 4 of 4 free throws, 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. Chris Paul showed a tough attitude! Kayce made 8 of 6, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 16 points, and played the first quarter. Almost took all the points of the Clippers, maybe physical fitness will determine the outcome of this game!"

Seeing that the coaching staff of the Clippers chose to kill the main players, Steve Kerr did not agree with it, but Reggie Miller on the side was not worried about this issue, but praised Li Ze:
"Kayce's physical fitness is no problem. All the offenses in the first quarter were concise and efficient. Obviously, he has fully adapted to Tony Allen's defense. Keep playing like this, and the Clippers have a chance to win the battle of Tianwangshan."

In key games, it is the choice of most coaches to smash the main force. After 2 minutes into the second quarter, the head coach Hollins immediately waved his hand and took advantage of Jerry Bayless' free throw to directly switch back to the main force. line-up.

The coaching staff of the Clippers also replaced the main force. Everyone knew that as long as they won this game, the team would have a high probability of advancing to the Western Conference Finals, and both sides began to work hard.

The Clippers' offense, when Li Ze has no ball, Tony Allen is almost hanging on Li Ze. Tonight's game, without Prince to share the defensive pressure for him, Tony Allen has already used 12 Divide the effort.

The position in the right block area turned his back to ask for the ball. Under Tony Allen's interference, Paul did not choose to pass the ball at risk, but returned to the logo position and made a tactical gesture.

Li Ze, who had been turning his back to ask for the ball, suddenly slid to the baseline from right to left, and Tony Allen chased him frantically, preventing Li Ze from catching the ball easily.

With 12 seconds left in the attack time, Li Ze received the ball safely two steps away from the left flank outside the three-point line. The cowhide Tang style defense still worked. Tony Allen still refused to give an inch and continued to Adjusting the defensive center of gravity, staring at Li Ze's movements.

Seeing that Li Ze raised his center of gravity with the ball in his right hand, and then accelerated suddenly, Tony Allen quickly slid to the left and rear. When Li Ze's right hand circled the ball behind his back, the opponent adjusted his defensive center of gravity again, and at the same time cut the ball.

Li Ze's reaction speed is also very fast, taking advantage of the trend to change direction with his crotch, dodging Tony Allen's steal with his right hand, while shaking his body forward to the right, he suddenly turns around with his left foot as the axis.

The connection was too fast, causing Tony Allen to adjust his footsteps again, dodging and sliding to the right rear.

Although the opponent's defense was in place again, after turning around, Li Ze suddenly crossed back with his left hand and reset his footsteps, almost stepping on the three-point line, and quickly shot a jumper!
Tony Allen failed to react when he was attacked to the left front foot supported by the defense. When he saw Li Ze complete the jumper, he realized that he had retreated to the three-point line.
"OH——! Kayce For three! He get it!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan couldn't help but exclaimed. The audience at the Staples Arena had been screaming excitedly for a long time, especially when they saw the ball fall into the basket, some fans even jumped up. celebrate.

Li Ze's sudden three-pointer boosted everyone's morale in the Clippers. Although Griffin and Jordan were still unable to play much on the offensive end, Chris Paul broke out again.

In more than three minutes, Li Ze and Paul succeeded in consecutive singles, and the score instantly became 36:43, and the Clippers led by 7 points.

With coach Hollins requesting a timeout, the desperate Grizzlies began to slow down and kill the inside, with Randolph's offensive rebounds and Mike Conley's crazy breakthroughs again and again.

With 48 seconds left in the second quarter, the score on the court became 52:54.

In the end, Li Ze and Conley each made two free throws, and the first half of the game was completely over.

At 54:56, the Grizzlies withstood the pressure and narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

"Crazy game! The Grizzlies' consecutive offensive rebounds saved their offense again. They grabbed 7 offensive rebounds at halftime. The Clippers should be careful!"

Steve Kerr admired the tenacious Grizzlies very much. Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hand and said in amazement:

“半场10中5，其中3分球2中2，罚球6中6，18分1篮板2助攻，克里斯-保罗开启了进攻模式！”

“Kayce半场14中10，其中三分球2中2，罚球8中8，30分3篮板1助攻，两人的表现太惊人了！”

Chris Paul, who was praised, was panting heavily when he returned to the locker room. He only rested for 2 minutes in the first half, and his physical energy was exhausted.

Of course, this is also related to Mike Conley's style of play. The little point guard made 7 of 7 free throws in the half, and his crazy breakthrough also allowed Paul to receive 3 fouls in the half.

The Grizzlies made 20 free throws in the half, and the Clippers also had 16 free throws. Marc Gasol has fouled three times, and Mike Conley has committed two fouls.

Of course, Griffin was the most depressing in the half. The superficial brother received three more fouls. At the same time, he made 6 of 2 in the half and only got 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 turnover. Zach Randolph was facing him. Scored 11 points and 6 rebounds in the half.

As for the little Jordan who hung up the egg and sat obediently in his seat, he didn't say a word.

Coach De Nagro naturally noticed that the Clippers actually accelerated their offensive rhythm in the first half, and they took 43 shots, but the high number of shots does not mean scoring. Except for Li Ze and Paul, everyone else is hitting the iron, the coach The multiplayer outbreak the group expected didn't materialize.

"We will win the game, as long as we play until the last moment, the victory will belong to us after all!"

Li Ze's physical condition is the best. Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the locker room, he immediately clapped his hands to encourage his teammates.

"Yes, hang on, guys! We are only 24 minutes away from the victory, protect the rebound, and we will reach the Western Conference Finals and make team history!"

Chicken soup for the soul does not need money to be sent out, and the head coach De Nagro, who is the main force, can only do a heart massage at this time.
Perhaps due to too many free throws in the first half, after the start of the third quarter, the referee's whistle scale was loosened again, and the whistle was hardly blown.

Zach Randolph was keenly aware of this after playing for more than three minutes. This time Paul was at the top of the arc and Griffin picked and rolled. Then he holds the ball in his left hand and speeds up the breakthrough.

Had it been the first half, Randolph's delay would not have been as great. At this time, the black fat man had no scruples. During the delay, he puffed out his stomach by the way, and with a concealed lateral collision, Paul staggered suddenly.

Without waiting for him to adjust his body weight, Mike Conley, who followed him, stole the ball away, and then crazily accelerated across the half court with the ball in his left hand.

Mike Conley dribbled the ball very fast, and he was keenly aware that Li Ze behind him had caught up, but he did not have any intention of slowing down.

After the little guard rushed to the paint area, he just took off, and Li Ze, who was chasing him, also jumped into the air immediately.

Mike Conley's left hand is very flexible. He grabs the ball with one hand in the air and seems to want to go straight to the basket. He feels Li Ze behind him. Then he twists his body in the air, dexterously pulls the bar, glides briefly, and twists to the bottom right of the basket. His left hand is light pick basket.

As a result, just as the ball was released, it was immediately pinned to the backboard by Li Ze's big hand, and the fans cheered.

"Oh! Blocked by Kayce!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan yelled again, the visual impact of this block is extremely strong!

Li Ze is relying on his excellent jumping, waiting for Mike Conley in the air, no matter how the opponent twists and turns, what is waiting for him in the end is a big hat.

Mike Conley cursed secretly after landing, saw Li Ze get the ball, immediately accelerated again, rushed directly to Li Ze's side, and continued to bite the defense.

Steadily protecting the ball, Li Ze dribbled halfway, and noticed that Griffin was asking for the ball with his back in the low position on the left, and immediately sent a precise pass to the ground.

The moment he received the ball, Griffin rushed directly to the line. First, he dribbled a step into the paint area, and then immediately made a big leap, rushing into the three-second zone.

This kind of offensive method, Marc Gasol had expected it early, raised his hands high, and fell in advance to protect the basket.

Griffin hit Gasol directly, almost dropped the ball, and at the same time, his foot was unsteady, and he stepped on Randolph's foot beside him, and finally fell to the floor.

The referee at the bottom line saw Griffin holding his left knee in pain, and immediately stopped the game.

On the other side, Randolph was also trampled by Griffin, with a painful look on his face, and limped towards the bench.

The team doctor hurried into the field, and after a simple inspection, Li Ze and Jordan Jr. set up Griffin and helped him to the bench.

"I'm fine, just let me rest for 2 minutes!"

Of course Griffin didn’t want to leave the game. At this time, there were 3 minutes and 6 seconds left in the third quarter, and the score on the court was 31:65. In half the game, the Clippers only scored 66 points. Obviously, the team encountered difficulties. The superficial brothers still want to contribute to the team.

However, the team doctor shook his head and cautiously reminded the coaching staff:
"Blake's ankle is fine, but his left knee is sprained."

When the head coach Gnagro heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, and then he immediately greeted Turiaf, and the Clippers were forced to make a substitution.

The two sides returned to the court again, and the DJ on the scene immediately led the audience to cheer for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The Grizzlies attacked. Paul also led Mike Conley at halftime, trying to consume the opponent's energy. Dove.

The black fat man was trampled enough, and he is still a little lame now, and the high-low coordination has also become Gasol's low-post attack.

Facing Jordan's defense, Marc Gasol, the low post on the left, did not make any fake moves. He put the ball with his right hand, hit the frame twice, and then rolled over Jordan, and made a big stride to break through the paint area. Cover, the horizontal throw is successful!
67:66, the Grizzlies lead for the first time in this game!
After scoring the goal, Marc Gasol roared and celebrated, and the Grizzlies' bench was full of joy. They turned the game over!
While serving the ball from the baseline, Li Zebi made a gesture of pressing down, signaling his teammates to stabilize their emotions. Mike Conley was already working hard at this time, and Paul had just received the ball when he was constantly pressed by the opponent.

This kind of defense is purely for consumption, and the two entangled all the way. In the end, Paul almost passed halftime with 8 seconds of pressure.

Li Ze, who was in the left corner, started quickly and came to the left flank beyond the three-point line. Just after receiving a pass from Paul, Turiaf followed up with a screen.

Tony Allen's pursuit was briefly delayed. When Li Ze broke through the three-point line with the ball in his left hand, Randolph tried to repeat the old trick. With lateral force, he slammed into Li Ze covertly.

Unlike Paul, Li Ze only paused slightly, and took the opportunity to make a half-turn fake, which stunned the fat man for a moment, but taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ze lowered his center of gravity again and rushed past the opponent's defense.

After two vigorous dribbles, he approached the basket and took off quickly. Marc Gasol immediately followed the basket and jumped high, trying to block Li Ze.

After the physical confrontation between the two, Marc Gasol began to fall, but Li Ze was unaffected. He grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, pulled his arm back, and then exerted force with his body. buckle!
"Kayce Gets inside! Slam dunk! Unbelievable!"

Seeing Marc Gasol almost hit the street after landing, the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled frantically, dunking the big center, and the Staples Arena was directly fried!
"what!"

After completing the dunk, Li Ze beat his chest and roared at the camera under the basket. By the way, he glanced at the Grizzlies' bench. Everyone in the Grizzlies team who was celebrating just now ran out of battery.

When the Clippers retreated, Matt Barnes also began to work hard. The veteran clapped his hands immediately after everyone finished defending and made a tactical gesture by the way.

When Gasol of the Grizzlies stormed the inside again, Matt Barnes began to shrink the defense, scored several times, and the veteran slipped continuously. In the end, Gasol's storm was directly blocked by Jordan Jr.!
The referee never blows the whistle, which also makes the defensive actions of both sides more and more serious, which also makes it difficult for everyone to score.

When Li Ze faced Tony Allen's block and hit a fadeaway jumper that drifted to the right, the score between the two sides came to 76:76.

At this time, with the last minute left in the third quarter, coach De Nagro was a little anxious, and the Clippers had completely lost their offensive rhythm.

In the last three offenses, both sides hit iron. At 21:20 in a single quarter, the Grizzlies tenaciously tied the score.

Back on the bench, Chris Paul felt like he was going to rest. In this quarter, he made 6 of 2 free throws and 2 of 2 free throws. He only scored 6 points and 2 rebounds without assists.

Except for Li Ze, the others were all gasping for breath. Under such circumstances, head coach De Nagro knew that the substitute lineup must go up.

"Crazy game! Both sides showed strong defensive resilience. The Clippers' offense was almost at a standstill. Kayce made 7 of 4 free throws and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored another 10 points and helped the team through the most difficult moment."

Steve Kerr was completely overwhelmed. The commentator Kevin Harlan noticed the atmosphere in the Staples Arena and said briskly:

"In three quarters, Kayce has scored 40 points. Fans who bought tickets tonight may witness a new record!"

Griffin, who was sitting on the bench, looked very frustrated. The team fell into a disadvantage in the third quarter, and it was actually difficult for the alternate lineup to find their status. After all, they played too little time.

Of course, this actually involves the trust of the head coach. In important games, most coaches in the NBA will trust the main lineup more. What's more, in the battle of Tianwangshan, in order to win, unless the starting lineup says "no", there is a high probability of playing The time will come to 40+.

With 10 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game, taking advantage of Ray Allen's free throw, the Grizzlies returned to the main lineup. Except for Mike Conley, the other four starters all returned.

As for the Clippers, keep veteran Ray Allen, let Chris Paul rest for a while, and Li Ze will also appear immediately with the starter.

Zach Randolph only received one foul in the first three quarters of the game. After his debut in the fourth quarter, the black fat man began to output on both ends of the offense and defense.

Facing Turiaf's defense for several rounds, he hit the mid-range consecutively. At the defensive end, Li Ze approached the penalty area. Randolph couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so he began to savagely collide, sending Li Ze to the free throw line.

With the return of Mike Conley and Chris Paul, the two sides returned to the offensive battle.

Prince hit a long shot from the outside, Ray Allen also responded from outside the three-point line in the next round, Randolph hit a mid-range shot, and Jordan received Li Zefei's cake and dunked successfully.

The two sides came and went, and the score began to rise alternately.

At this time, both Mike Conley and Chris Paul could not move anymore. With Chris Paul's open three-pointer, the score on the court was still 100:100, with 1 minute and 49 seconds left in the game.

Mike Conley once again used Gasol's pick-and-roll to speed up the breakthrough on the left flank outside the three-point line, and finally successfully caused a foul by Jordan. Hearing the referee's whistle, the Grizzlies bench yelled.

The key free throw, Mike Conley made a 2-for-0, and the final free throw just hit the basket. Randolph beat Turiaf and hit the ball directly into the basket!

"Oh!"

Seeing the Grizzlies take the lead, the Staples Arena erupted in exclamation.

Hei Fatty, who made a tip-up, thumped his chest and yelled loudly while retreating. Although his physical fitness was almost at his limit, in the last quarter of the game, he had given up everything. He made 6 of 5 in a single quarter and scored 10 points!
Seemingly seeing the dawn of victory, the Grizzlies' defense regained their spirits, and the Clippers' offense, the ball began to toss and turn in the hands of Li Ze and Paul.

Turiaf and Jordan Jr. were afraid to step forward to pass the ball at this time, and Matt Barnes didn't want to switch Prince in front of them.

With the last 6 seconds left in the attack time, the Grizzlies' inside line could no longer hold up. At this time, Li Ze used the double screen of the inside line to successfully bounce to the top of the arc to receive the ball.

Swinging left and right, Li Ze broke through with the ball in his right hand. After taking a step, he suddenly changed direction. Tony A-lun subconsciously slid to the right. At this time, Li Ze suddenly turned around sharply.

Pull back with your left hand, twist your body, grab the ball with your right hand, then accelerate with all your strength, breaking through towards the bottom line.

After making an arc, Li Ze came to the right side near the bottom line. Tony Allen had already tried his best at this time. At this time, he was far away from the basket and there was no second defender around him.

Faced with such an offensive opportunity, Li Ze's left foot on the inside was well supported, and he stopped suddenly. After exerting force from his feet, he quickly rose into the air, and shot a fallback jumper that drifted to the right!

Tony Allen seemed to realize that his defense hadn't played any role at all. After landing, he turned his head subconsciously, only to see the ball accurately fall into the basket, and at the same time, there were huge cheers in his ears.

"Crazy goal! Kayce responded again, God! 102:102, the two sides tied again, and there was only 1 minute left in the game!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan was already dumbfounded. At the last moment, Li Ze was able to complete such a fadeaway jumper. This physical fitness is simply a beast.
Li Ze didn't celebrate the goal, quickly retreated, and then immediately reminded his teammates to pay attention to defense:
"Andrew, protect the rebound!"

If he loses a backcourt rebound at the last moment, the game will be over.

When there were 39 seconds left in the game, the DJ on the scene led the audience to shout wildly:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Seeing that the Clippers were about to complete this defense, Marc Gasol arched to the basket at the last moment, causing Jordan's thug foul.

"Shh!"

The fans at the scene were suddenly unhappy, and the head coach De Nagro on the sidelines was angry and roared at the nearby lineman:
"My guys just put their hands up, it's not a shooting foul at all! Damn! You don't even want to watch replays!"

The Clippers coaching staff hurriedly pulled the head coach back to the bench, and taking a T free throw would be fatal.

And as Gasol made two free throws, Steve Ballmer, who was sitting under the basketball stand, couldn't stand it anymore, and the old man was flushed with anger.

The Clippers quickly requested a timeout, with 38 seconds left in the game, and the initiative was still in their own hands.

"Be patient! We have enough time to organize an attack. At the same time, pay attention to retreating! Except for Andrew, everyone retreats quickly."

The function of the pause at this time is to give the players a breath. Chris Paul has played 43 minutes so far, and his physical fitness has almost reached the limit at this time.

The sound of the music and the noise of the fans seemed to have all disappeared. Paul could only feel his own heartbeat, and stared blankly at the tactics drawn by coach De Nagro. Suddenly, he felt two taps on his shoulder. Only then did he realize that he was going to play.

"As long as we don't make mistakes! Victory belongs to us!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, Paul suddenly relaxed. In the fourth quarter, he scored 6 of 2 and only scored 4 points. At this critical moment, someone was at the forefront. This is completely different from the past.

Li Ze clapped his hands and signaled everyone to cheer up. On the other side of the Grizzlies bench, Coach Hollins was still reminding his players:

"No three-pointers! Protect the backboard!"

The DJ on the scene began to play rhythmic music, some audience members in the front row had stood up, and the scene became extremely noisy.

Serving in the front court, in order to avoid mistakes, Paul immediately turned his back to protect the ball, and then immediately played a high pick-and-roll with Jordan to mobilize the Grizzlies' inside line.

Gasol's delay was very quick. After the delay was successful, he immediately retreated to the basket and did not give Jordan a chance to eat.

Taking advantage of Gasol's just retreat, Paul, who holds the ball in his left hand, took advantage of the opportunity to dribble the ball to the left flank, and immediately completed a hand-off with Li Ze.

Then he quickly ran to the left corner to open up the attack space. Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, had just arrived at the top of the arc, and Turiaf's cover immediately followed.

Standing still outside the three-point line, Li Ze's right hand suddenly moved in and out slightly, and as the center of gravity lowered, he quickly changed direction under his crotch, and then held the ball with his left hand to speed up his breakthrough.

This time Turiaf's screen quality was very good. Tony Allen was blocked directly behind him. Randolph's big delay was also not slow. Seeing Li Ze enter the three-point line, he boldly started to defend action.

Stretching their stomachs and raising their hands, it seems that they want to use their pork belly to block Li Ze's breakthrough, defend three and put two. This is the basic strategy of the Grizzlies. Even if there is a foul, they can ensure that the game will not lose with a high probability.

Randolph made a big move to help defend, but at this time Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, reacted faster. Just when the opponent was about to pounce on him, his left wrist twisted suddenly, and the ball went directly through Randolph's crotch Pass.

"Oh!"

At the last moment of the game, there was a crotch piercing, and the fans at the scene subconsciously exclaimed.

Randolph, who had reached the limit of physical fitness, hadn't reacted yet. Li Ze leaped forward quickly, easily grabbed the ball with his right hand, and rushed directly to the penalty area.

Gasol at the basket just hesitated for a moment, and then rushed towards Li Ze.

Li Ze jumped into the air with both feet, and Gasol also jumped high, and at the same time he slammed into Li Ze, his right hand quickly slapped Li Ze's arm.

After the confrontation between the two in the air, Li Ze tilted his body, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and used his advantage of staying in the air to successfully dodge Gasol's block.

Although the opponent hit him hard on the arm, before he lost his center of gravity, Li Ze twisted his left wrist and threw the ball onto the hoop!
Gasol had already landed, and found that Li Ze was still in the air and completed the shot. He immediately felt bad. Looking back, the ball hit the backboard and circled around the basket twice.

Under the basket, Jordan and Gasol jumped at the same time, and the ball smoothly turned into the basket!
"squeak!"

The moment the referee blew the whistle, the fans at the scene began to shout wildly, and the commentator Kevin Harlan almost broke his throat:

"Oh——!"

"Count it! And a foul!"

"Unbelievable! What a play by Kayce!"

Li Ze, who fell on the floor, beat his chest and roared, and then threw his fists in celebration. The Clippers bench was full of joy.

Jordan and Paul immediately pulled Li Ze up, and as Li Ze walked to the free throw line, the Grizzlies were completely numb to everyone.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

The fans at the scene began to shout MVP crazily, Li Ze took a deep breath, and made a steady hit with the extra penalty!
With 16 seconds left for the Grizzlies, Coach Hollins immediately requested a timeout.

Steve Ballmer under the basketball stand was still celebrating wildly. The old man punched and screamed. 104:105, the Clippers were only 16 seconds away from victory.

The happy song at the scene and the crazy shouts of the fans made it difficult for everyone in the Grizzlies to hear what coach Hollins was talking about. Their physical fitness had reached their limit. At the last moment, everyone was playing by instinct.

As the players from both sides returned to the court again, the Grizzlies kicked out a sideline kick, and the fans at the scene began to yell wildly:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

16 seconds is enough time for the Grizzlies to complete an attack, a simple high-low coordination, Randolph received the ball directly in the left low post.

Turiaf exerted all his strength, slamming the black fat man behind him, and seeing that he was about to be pushed into the paint again, Chris Paul immediately helped defend, and at the same time, the Clippers' perimeter defense began to rotate.

Li Ze immediately defended Mike Conley, while Matt Barnes defended two and was responsible for defending Tony Allen and Prince.

Fatty Hei's physical fitness has reached its limit, facing a sudden double-team, he was a bit slow in scoring the ball.

After Paul completed the defense, he quickly ran to the right corner to defend Pulis, and Mike Conley, who had received the pass, realized that there was not much time left in the game. He noticed that Li Ze was strictly guarding his left hand, and rushed to Gasol. With a glance, the two immediately completed another pick-and-roll cooperation.

With 5 seconds left in the game, Mike Conn used the pick-and-roll right hand to accelerate the breakthrough.

Li Ze lowered his center of gravity, opened the way with his left shoulder, and squeezed directly past the screen. Although he was half a body behind, Mike Conley, who was holding the ball in his right hand, finally switched to his left hand when riding a horse and shooting an arrow.

Just as the ball was thrown, Li Ze jumped up behind him, sending out a volleyball cap with his left hand!

"OH! Blocked by Kayce! It's over!!"

The commentator Kevin Harlan exclaimed, the Staples Arena is completely blown up!
As the ball was fanned out of the baseline, the buzzer sounded at the end of the game. Li Ze stood at the free throw line and punched passionately.

"WOW!"

Surrounded by Li Ze, he grinned loudly, held up his left hand that had completed the cover, shouted again and threw his fist in celebration.

Chris Paul next to him was already laughing, and Mike Conley at the basket shut himself off directly, as if he couldn't believe that his last shot was blocked.

The head coach Hollins on the sidelines finally just shook his head helplessly. Seeing the smiling Denagro, he couldn't help but feel angry. The two simply shook hands and then quickly separated.
“疯狂的比赛！难以置信！Kayce全场28中19，其中三分球3中2，罚球14中14，54分8篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽2失误，不可思议的表现！”

"Congratulations to the Clippers for winning Tianwangshan!"

Steve Kerr was completely convinced. Looking at the data in his hand, he loudly praised Li Ze's performance.

"Although the Clippers paid a high price and Griffin was injured in the third quarter, I believe that after winning this game, the Clippers can reach the Western Conference Finals!"

"This is the strength of the three consecutive MVPs! Congratulations to Kayce! He gave us a wonderful game tonight!"

Reggie Miller was also flushed with excitement, he was already a little bit too impatient with Li Ze, scored 54 points in the playoffs, God!
The Grizzlies and the Clippers, who broke through the defense, turned their heads and left immediately after shaking hands with the Clippers. At this time, Steve Ballmer was still celebrating wildly with the audience. When Li Ze came to the sidelines for an interview, Sta Puth Arena heat unabated.

Craig Sager changed into a blue and white plaid suit tonight. Seeing Li Ze approaching, he first bumped his fists in greeting, and then the senior reporter said in an exaggerated tone:
"Unbelievable performance, one attack and one defense killed the game! Kayce, how do you feel after winning this difficult game?"

Li Ze raised the red armguard of his left hand, first wiped the sweat off his head, and then faced the camera, jokingly said:

"In fact, at the last moment of the game, I was ready for overtime. Of course, considering my physical condition, maybe I can only play two more overtimes to pay tribute to the Grizzlies. They are a strong team. team!"

TNT's reporter team was speechless when they heard Li Ze's words. Are they still human?What a beast!

Craig Sager laughed when he heard the words, and immediately said jokingly:

"I like this kind of game, maybe God wears the number 10 jersey tonight!"
