From sparring to superstar

Chapter 264 262. Defeat the flying man in the flying man’s way! (9400 words)
After the Clippers were 4-0, the two teams started to "bang bang bang".

After a while, Carter attracted a three-man attack from close range and passed the ball to Maurice Peterson, who stretched to the free throw line to catch the ball and hit a jumper.

This is the Raptors' first sports goal of the game and the second sports goal of the game.

The intensity of the confrontation is full, and the two teams directly enter the fierce battle mode.

Tonight, the two teams didn't even give the other side's role players a chance to perform. They exhausted the other side's role players with COSCO's shots.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score came to 9 to 8, the Clippers led by 1 point, and the Raptors called a timeout to enter the official timeout period.

The Fox Sports commentator said that Jerome Williams was not calm enough, which caused the game to enter a high-intensity confrontation mode from the beginning, and he was locked in defense with the Clippers, which was very detrimental to the Raptors.

Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens doesn’t think so.

In his view, although the Clippers have recently been affected by physical strength, Jordan and Odom's state fluctuates greatly, and there are points that can be targeted.

However, the Clippers' offensive adaptability is extremely strong. Jordan switched to a relief pitcher and a transfer point. Although his performance was not as good as Li Ao's, it was enough. Bibby and O'Neal shouldered the burden on both ends of the offense and defense. Spider-Man is getting better and better in the middle of the season, paired with a bunch of high-quality role players...Lanny Wilkens feels that he will suffer a lot when playing regular offense and defense against such an opponent with strong strength.

Jordan's poor singles form dragged the game into a fierce battle, locked down defense, and narrowed the impact of the gap in the strength of role players. This is the most beneficial situation for them.

He has Vince Carter in his hand!

If you have the conditions to fight for a star, of course you have to fight.

As a head coach, you must be the one who has the most trust in your own star.

Even Larry Brown understands this, so there's no way he doesn't.

No, although the Clippers were still 1 point ahead and had the ball, their Raptors closed the gap!

Lanny Wilkens is grateful for the trash dogs.

Rick Mahon named Jerome Williams "Trash Dog" not as an insult, but as a compliment to his attitude and leadership.

This is a standard atmosphere leader. As long as his teammates are willing to defend, he can activate their teammates' defensive enthusiasm.

After Carter's mentality changed, his defensive enthusiasm was quickly overtaken by junk dogs.

Lenny Wilkens, aware of this, elected Jerome Williams as the vice-captain, mentioned him to the starting position, put Olajuwon on the bench, and drove Carter.

The boss's defensive attitude has changed, and his teammates who used to paddle with him have also become more active.

As a result, the entire team has undergone fundamental changes, leading to the current record.

...

After the official timeout, the Clippers replaced Jordan and the Raptors replaced Olajuwon.

God VS Dameng, this is one of the highlights that people are looking forward to before the game, but now not many people care that the two are not playing at the same time. The commentator only mentioned it, and then began to analyze the matchup between Li Ao and Carter.

On the imperial platform, Xu Jicheng said: "Spider-Man's post-up singles are getting better and better, plus his running shots... Carter's offensive skills are comprehensive, and his singles mid-range shots and breakthroughs are gorgeous..."

Xu Jicheng's words made the fans in front of the TV think of Li Aomei's picturesque running and catching shots, and Carter's explosive dunks, and their expectations were high.

Then, we saw the two fighting on the court as if they were hugging each other.

How picturesque is this?
If these two people weren't Spider-Man and Flying Man, they would all want to change the channel.

Domestic fans chose to mute the sound, and the commentators on the imperial stage were more outrageous than the last. Finally, Zhang Lili did not come tonight, and Xu Zhidao's performance was not much better.

At 10 minutes and 36 seconds, Carter took a sharp step back, shot a long three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line, and threw the ball into the frame.

17 to 16, the Raptors went ahead by 1 point.

Looking back, Bibby and O'Neal Jr. broke through the pick-and-roll. Odom received the ball, and his brain suddenly came to a rare moment tonight. After receiving the ball, he kept passing the ball straight to the basket.

Li Ao cut into the basket to receive the ball, Olajuwon expanded, leaving Jerome Williams alone.

Jerome Williams pressed forward roughly, but Li Ao ignored the confrontation, rose up on the spot, pushed away Jerome Williams, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.

Shark moment!

Seeing Li Ao walking like a big shark after dunking, Jerome Williams screamed twice.

Li Ao, who was celebrating like a shark, stopped and turned around to look at him like a trash dog.

It sounds exactly like it!

He had heard that garbage dogs would bark to express their emotions, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Needless to say, the role of junk dogs is to be strong.

His unwilling shouts may sound funny to others, but they can stimulate the fighting spirit of his teammates, and the sense of oppression caused by Spider-Man's violent dunks has dissipated a lot.

The most motivated person is Carter!
In fact, when he saw Kobe Bryant winning the championship, Iverson winning the MVP, McGrady running for a while this season... he already felt unwilling to do so.

Both cousins ​​are susceptible to environmental influences.

In the original time and space, because his explosive power was crippled by Bowen's villain, he did not have time to transform his unwillingness into actual actions, so he entered a period of two or three years of psychological explosion. When he really became ambitious, his body, age, and strength... , have been unable to help him realize his ambition.

Carter here, learned Spider-Man's tit-for-tat and defensive skills, and began to take responsibility!

He used to feel that taking on responsibilities was very stressful, but after taking on responsibilities, he finally understood why Black Mamba and Answer enjoyed pressure so much.

It feels so wonderful to withstand pressure and win.

The Raptors attack, Carter catches the ball and breaks through!

Carter rushed all the way to close range, stopped suddenly, took a step as wide as Iverson, and got rid of the chasing Li Ao and the assisting defense Matt Halprin.

Carter was unable to break through again like Iverson did, but after he pulled horizontally, he pulled up directly like Tracy McGrady. O'Neal, who was moving his steps, quickly pressed forward to interfere.

Carter didn't shoot, but passed to Olajuwon on the left side of the three-second zone. Olajuwon sent the lob, and Jerome Williams cut in from the right baseline, cut and dunked and scored two points!
18 to 17, the Raptors once again took the lead.

The garbage dog looked up to the sky and roared, and Li Ao on the side complained: "You can go and form a wolf-dog combination with Garnett."

After barking, the garbage dog tilted his head and glanced at Li Ao with his mouth curled, then turned to retreat.

This attitude of not giving up on anyone won Li Ao's admiration.

In the transition between offense and defense, Carter once again stuck to Li Ao and started the defensive mode of hugging.

Li Ao opened his arms and asked for the ball, but Bibi didn't give it to him.

Li Ao shouted: "I'm empty! Mike, I'm empty!"

When other people on the field heard this, their movements stopped for a moment.

Seeing that both Li Ao and Carter's left arms were twisted into knots, did they think it was empty?
Carter is even more irritable, this is treating him like air!He pressed closer.

Bibby continued to look for O'Neal Jr. to pick and roll. As soon as O'Neal Jr. reached the top arc, Bibby suddenly released the ball before he could use the screen.

Carter subconsciously went around to Li Ao to steal, but the ball was not passed to Li Ao, but to Odom on the right baseline!
Li Ao took the opportunity to cut in. After receiving the ball, Odom used a skillful behind-the-back dribble to get rid of Jerome Williams and rush forward.

Olajuwon, who followed O'Neal to the free throw line, immediately retreated and successfully blocked Odom's breakthrough, Odom sent a lob...

Li Ao jumped high and scored two points with an alley-oop dunk!
Respond to the alley-oop coordination of Flyers, Dreams, and Junk Dogs!
Gentry applauded from the sidelines.

When Odom's physical strength is low and his concentration is insufficient, it is very useful to use him as a role player.

Odom in this state allows him to continue to be the core of all-around tactics. He dares to gather five embarrassing materials in one game.

But if you just let him focus on one thing, there will basically be no problem. It may not be outstanding, but at least it won't delay him. Once he focuses on it, he can do that thing perfectly.

Gentry was very happy, and Carter was extremely jealous!

He tried his best to help the team get two points, and Li Ao was able to complete an alley-oop dunk with a reverse running cut.

Snakes have fish, cousins ​​have big fundamentals, and Ray Allen also has aliens and big dogs.

What does he have?Olajuwon?It’s not bad, it has everything.

Antonio Davis and Junk Dog are also good, but they are only on the level of O'Neal and Matt Halprin.

But Li Ao also has Bibi and Odom!
Fortunately, there is an answer.

He felt better when he thought about what Iverson had gone through this year. There were people worse off than him.

When the Raptors attacked, Carter went to the frontcourt and was hugged by Li Ao around the waist, and all his jealousy was gone.

Just irritable.

"Don't come to cover, don't double attack. When he breaks through, don't block Lamar from the wing. Jermaine is not allowed to take a step in front of the basket. Matt, you are not allowed to move to the baseline. I can guard the Flyers by myself." !”

Hearing Spider-Man plotting loudly in person, Carter was so angry!

He definitely beat Spider-Man tonight. He broke through the opponent one-on-one and almost couldn't defend him.

The opponent's singles score is almost impossible, relying solely on the help of teammates to score.

But this big spider is like the invincible Xiaoqiang, so tenacious in every defense.

Moreover, his movements, demeanor, and speech are all confident and even arrogant.

That’s okay, but you have to keep your word!
He was talking about wanting to defend him to death all by himself, but he was instructing his teammates on how to flank him and help defend him. It was shameless!
The inside line has been blocked by Spider-Man's command and movement, and Carter chose to take a step forward and take a two-point shot... "Bang"... The evil long-armed spider, why don't you spin silk!
When the Clippers attacked, Carter also put his arm around Li Ao's waist and continued to twist his arm.

With Bibby's "bang" in response to Carter's buzzer beater, the first quarter ended.

19 to 18, the Clippers lead the Raptors by 1 point!
...

Break between festivals.

Seeing Spider-Man slumped in his chair as if his webs had been drained, Gentry said to Jordan: "Compared to last month, Carter seems to be a different person and has become a real superstar."

Jordan laughed and said: "If this were not the case, he would not be worthy of the nickname Flying Man."

Gentry appreciated Jordan's answer, but it inspired Jordan or not.

Forget it, he was ready for a fierce battle.

7投3中，其中三分球3中1，加上2中2的罚球，卡特首节9分2板1助攻1抢断，表现残暴，以一己之力撑起了猛龙队的进攻。

Li Ao's performance looked similar to Carter's, with 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

But the actual difference between the two is quite big. Carter can only go hard. Two of Li Ao's 8 points were free throws obtained by the superstar whistle at the beginning. The two took the pie and scored 1 goal in a single.

Support the team and utilize the team.

In normal times, facing the Raptors, Li Ao can play this performance for the first time, and their Clippers are about to start their momentum behind.

But there is a high probability that tonight will not go so smoothly.

As Gentry expected, after the start of the second quarter, the core combination of Jordan + Odom failed to open the offense.

Time is not forgiving. As we approach the middle of the season, our physical strength is declining, and we are in a strong defensive team. In the last game, Jordan could adjust his playing style to ensure efficiency, but tonight he will not be able to focus on the offense alone.

Odom only survived those two rounds.

Jordan has rich experience. After playing for more than a minute in the second quarter, he directed his teammates to defend and attack with all their strength. It depends on the sky.

Gentry once again enjoyed the joy of having an older version of the God of Basketball, adapting to the situation quickly.

Fighting hard on defense, Gerald Wallace showed his talent, positive attitude, fierce confrontation, and excellent awareness.

Gentry even saw a characteristic of Spider-Man in this rookie - a full understanding of each teammate's defensive habits.

It’s not in vain for your beloved disciple to lead your apprentice!

It's a pity that Carter was replaced and rested, otherwise the old Flyers and Gerald Wallace could be used to consume the new Flyers on both offense and defense.

Carter rested, and the Raptors' offense dropped by more than one gear. It was too difficult for Dameng and Antonio Davis to support the offense.

Who else besides these two?
Curry?

His son, who was watching the game from the sidelines, would have grown up to be 10 years old.

Shen and Dameng finally competed on the same field. The old fans in front of the TV became energetic. But when they saw the two veterans also trying to defend, they could only curse and continue watching.

Otherwise, what else can we do?It's true - it's one less game to watch.

Halfway through the second quarter, Carter was replaced again, but Li Ao was not replaced. Gentry wanted to continue to consume Carter for a while. It didn't matter if he lost some points, the game was still long.

In 3 minutes, Carter got two assists and an indirect assist assisted by Olajuwon. The Raptors had a 7-4 spurt.

This score can be considered a climax, but tonight, it really is.

The score came to 32 to 35, and the Clippers were 3 points behind. Gentry called a timeout and replaced Big Q with Li Ao, partnering with Bibby, Odom, Matt Halprin, and Jaylon Collins.

Li Ao came to the court and exclaimed to Carter: "Wow, Vince, I woke up after a nap, how come you still only have 9 points, where are your 40+? If I hit an open shot, I would have scored more than you." .”

Carter: (╬◣д◢)
40+?He had forgotten about it and couldn't care about it for the time being.

The 'open shot' was too much for him.

Treat his defense as air?

4 out of 1 singles, how dare you say such a thing!
The flying man is furious!
The timeout ends and the Clippers attack.

Li Ao didn't make any noise this time and fought with Carter hand-to-hand to wave for the ball.

Spider-Man was so focused, Bibby gave the ball away.

Li Ao shook his shoulders in a Qiao style, but Carter remained unmoved and held on tightly.

Li Ao suddenly turned left, and Carter reacted very quickly and took half a step back to the left.

Li Ao turned around and did not rush forward. During the turn, he handed the ball to his left hand and dribbled behind his back to take a step forward. Carter pounced on him again immediately, showing his defensive attitude and physical fitness to the fullest.

But he still gave Li Ao a chance to lift the ball!And it failed to interfere with Li Ao's take-off!
Facing Carter's block, Li Ao relied on his wingspan advantage to throw the ball...

hit!

Li Ao shouted "The open shot went in", turned around and ran up to high-five Bibby who was retreating.

"Mike, why do you still look so stinky after I scored a goal? Why don't you just smile?"

Bibi is not too shy to pay attention to this guy.

Opponent's teammates attack indiscriminately! This is it!

In other words, if he were to have a teammate with a poor mental quality, he would probably be pissed to death.

But after thinking about it, he realized that his teammates seemed to have weird personalities... The management and coaching staff were so prescient!

When the Raptors attacked, Carter, who was stimulated by Li Ao's trash talk after scoring a goal, came over and hit the ground running.

He had just been attacking for 3 minutes, but he should actually take it easy. Spider-Man, who came on after more than 9 minutes of rest, was in good defensive shape at this time, and he couldn't hit the outside.

He himself knew this, but he was so angry!

The new Flyer's psychological quality and trash talk resistance still need to be improved, and this also makes the advantage he has finally gained in vain.In the next more than 1 minute, the Clippers scored another 4 points. Matt Halprin scored two points with a rugby-style response and attacked the frame. Bibby used the screen to face the defense switch and hit a two-pointer at the last moment.

On the Raptors' side, Olajuwon, who came back on the court, hesitated, grabbed an offensive rebound, and faked a move to deceive Jaylon Collins, making the score 2+1.

The Clippers defeated the Raptors 6-3, and after halftime, the two teams were tied at 38!
With this score, Gentry couldn't say he was dissatisfied, but if he wanted to say he was satisfied, that was definitely impossible.

The old coach on the opposite side is too experienced and has accurately grasped their real weaknesses.

Other teams are afraid of their defense and want to take advantage of Jordan and Odom's weakness to overpower them offensively.

For example, the opponent the Hornets did this the day before yesterday, and were beaten badly by Li Ao and Bibby. Jordan, Big Q, Matt Halprin, Greg Anthony and others made wing shots fly.

Lanny Wilkens starts from the defensive end to narrow the gap in shooting ability of role players and compete for stars.

He is worthy of being a legendary coach who has coached for 29 years, 20 playoffs, 3 finals, and 1 championship.

Gentry is not afraid of playing the Raptors like this. He believes in his players.

I just hope that this strategy of Lenny Wilkens will not be copied by other teams. It is almost the middle of the season... But thinking of the 'Flyers Showdown' and 'Spider-Man's Injury-Free Challenge', he wants a dog bring.

These two are crazy about walking!
It was already difficult enough with only Spider-Man, but now there is a basketball god with a higher hatred value than Spider-Man!

But thinking that before they could only stay in the corner of Los Angeles without anyone looking at them, now the spotlight is surrounding them and everyone is paying attention...

...

In the third quarter, the players from the two teams rested for almost 20 minutes and continued to engage in a fierce battle. The confrontation was even more wild than in the last few minutes of the first half.

Carter brought Dell Curry, Maurice Peterson, Jerome Williams, and Antonio Davis to rush forward while ensuring defense, but he couldn't!

Spider-Man turned on the goat mode, with arms akimbo...attacking with arms akimbo, waiting for a response, and on the defensive end, he fought hand-to-hand with Carter at the risk of his life.

Jordan and Odom are trying to dig in, but they are in a sluggish state and can't do it?The opponent also has to guard against it.

That's Michael Jordan!

Jordan plays behind the ball and Odom breaks through the ball. At least he doesn't make mistakes. He only needs to score once in a while. God will be happy if he can send out an assist.

Lenny Wilkens didn't expect that such an operation could be performed. He was anxious, but it was no use. The opponent was such a rogue, so he could only continue to defend without finishing.

Gentry taught the old coach on the opposite side a lesson. Staying with Larry Brown for 20 years was not in vain. He knew very well how to maximize defensive efficiency.

Doesn’t the opponent have to play defense?Stay with me until the end!

The score in the first half was very low, and he felt it was not low enough and could go even lower.

At 11 minutes and 44 seconds of the third quarter, Carter broke through for a layup and caused a foul on Campbell, who was defending. He made two free throws and the Raptors overtook the Clippers by 1 point.

Li Ao turned around and cut in to attract Alvin Williams to turn his head to look inside. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Bibby pulled up a three-pointer...hit!
52 to 50, the Clippers lead the Raptors by two points!
With Carter's strong three-point shot against the defense, the score of the two teams was fixed at 14 to 12 in the third quarter. The Clippers entered the final quarter with a slight advantage of two points!
Although the performance of the two teams in the third quarter was disappointing, Carter's performance of 13 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks after the three quarters still gave the commentators something to praise, saying that he played as well as he did in last year's playoffs. Stock energy.

And Carter himself was about to crack.

Only 4 points were scored in the third quarter!
In fact, only scoring 4 points is nothing in itself. 0 points in a single quarter in defensive battles is also common.

But the opposite Spider-Man also scored 4 points. He was 2 for 0 in singles in a single quarter and did not score a single point in singles. He relied on receiving shots and rushing to the frontcourt to catch the ball and layup. He got two free throws and made them all. Only got 1 points.

On the offensive end, Li Ao still scored 14 points despite such a lack of effort, but he played hard and only scored 13 points!
There is no reason!
As for rebounds and assists, that's by the way. He is a scorer, not his cousin.

He misses Mark Jackson. If the veteran is here, his offense will not have such a difficult time tonight.

Entering the break, Lanny Wilkens, who was frustrated by Larry Brown's students, chose to give it a try.

Carter rested, and the combination of Alvin Williams, Dell Curry, Tracy Murray, Jerome Williams, and Eric Montrose was replaced by Lenny Wilkens.

Lanny Wilkens was very confused by the operation of the dragon tube.

Don't let Charles Oakley and Mark Jackson break their arms and let them lose the chance to become a top team after Carter's enlightenment.

But he renewed his contract with a big white bear for three years and US$3 million.

Eric Montrose, a junior of Jordan and Carter, has strength. How should I put it? He averaged 2.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game last season, but with a physique of 213 cm + 122 kg, he is still a strength monster.

It's not been a year or two since we got such data, but this junior student of the Flying Man has always had a contract, and if they want to renew the contract, they have to pay this price.

However, although this big human shield is usually useless, it has become useful after tonight's fight.

Back from the break, the fourth quarter begins.

Li Ao, who continued to play, saw the lineup on the opposite side, and decisively started to attack...but he couldn't attack.

At this point in the Iron-blooded War, there is such a big human shield inside, and the defensive advantage is too great. It is the same as Carter's inability to penetrate Campbell's inside protection in the third quarter.

Gentry decisively called a timeout. He also knew this was an opportunity, but they were unable to seize the opportunity now.

Bibby is not suitable for regular time attack. Jordan and Odom cannot attack tonight. O'Neal Jr. is inefficient in singles. Li Ao... his disciple's technical singles method is single, and the opponent's lineup is designed to guard against him.

If Li Ao, Odom, O'Neal Jr., Big Q and others had grown up for another year, Jordan would have been able to maintain his current level, and Gentry would have been the "Clippers Championship" long ago, so why would he have to work hard because of Jordan's physical problems.

He did not replace Li Ao, but sent Boykins, Big Q, Gerald Wallace, and Campbell to let Li Ao take his place and guard power forward Jerome Williams. Just pull away and let Boykins fight.

Yes, this is the contingency strategy of the 76ers when they can't open up the game. They use defense to let the strong singles go.

With two young forwards and defensive linemen, coupled with big meat shields, Lenny Wilkens had no choice in Gentry's response method. Fortunately, his basic goal was achieved, and he did not let the opponent take advantage of Carter's rest to widen the point difference. open.

At 6 minutes and 44 seconds, Boykins stole and counterattacked for a layup and scored two points. The score reached 64 to 60. The Clippers' lead reached 4 points. Lenny Wilkens called a timeout and entered the official timeout period. .

After holding on for half a quarter, he still couldn't hold it anymore. He could only sigh, this is the gap in the lineup of role players!
But at least it lasted until this point, allowing Carter to rest for half a quarter, and Antonio Davis and Olajuwon, their strongest twin towers, also rested.

Lanny Wilkens replaced the combination of Dell Curry, Carter, Maurice Peterson, Antonio Davis, and Olajuwon.

This is the Raptors' strongest offensive and defensive lineup as tonight's fierce battle reaches its climax.

Gentry also knew that the opponent was going to make a last-ditch effort, and the lineup of Bibby, Li Ao, Jordan, Matt Halprin, and O'Neal was replaced!

Carter came to the court and was stuck by Li Ao.

"Vince, you're still 3 assists away from a triple-double. Tracy has already had 4 triple-doubles this year, and you haven't even had one. Come on." Li Ao didn't mention scoring this time.

Carter replied calmly, "Are you that familiar with Tracy?"

"I'm not familiar with it. I said it on purpose to make you angry."

"your***"

Carter couldn't help it and sprayed out a bunch of asterisks.

Dell Curry asked him to deal with Spider-Man's trash talk in a calm way, and he tried it.

It's useless!

He is not his cousin!
Don’t imitate others, he is who he is, Vince Carter!

After the timeout, the Raptors attacked. Carter broke through Li Ao in singles. Faced with Li Ao's pursuit interference and Jordan's replacement, he did not pass the ball, grabbed the ball, jumped to get in position, and pulled up to shoot.

There is no rhythm, but he just wants to shoot!
The ball...goed in!
62 to 64, the point difference narrowed to two points!

In the transition between offense and defense, Bibby gave the ball to Jordan to single out Carter.

This is Bibby's choice to distribute the ball after looking at the performance of his teammates and himself in this game.

True Qiao style shoulder shake!

Jordan used a fake move to deceive Carter's center of gravity, turned over and took off!
Carter's half-quarter rest was not in vain. He rushed up and stretched out his hand to cover Jordan's shot path.

Jordan leaned back further and kicked his legs in the air, which was not picturesque at all.

But he maintained his body balance, his shooting movements were complete, his force was excellent, and he hit the mid-range shot!

The new flying man's violent attack, the old flying man's strong counterattack!
Then, the two teams started "bang bang bang" again.

Both sides are trying their best to defend while looking for scoring opportunities.

The Clippers couldn't widen the point difference, but they didn't let the Raptors narrow it.

到了9分35秒，比分来到70比66，快船队依旧保持着4分领先优势。

When the Raptors attacked again, Carter singled out Li Ao, took a step forward and hit a three-pointer, raising his personal score to 21 points!
Commentators from major TV stations marveled again and again, calling Carter the real successor to Jordan.

When the Clippers attacked, Carter made another contribution!

He steals Li Ao's pass, hits a fast break layup, and scores 5-0 alone, helping the Raptors lead the score 71-70!

Gentry didn't call a timeout. He had no problem defending and attacking. Carter just ran away. The remaining timeout couldn't be wasted here.

When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao cut in from a high post to receive the ball, compressing the Raptors' defense and passing the ball to Jordan on the wing. Dell Curry moved from the free throw line to cover the defense, and Jordan passed the ball to the free throw line.

Bibby received the ball and took a shot without hesitation... At the critical moment, he turned into a devil and hit the mid-range shot!
73 to 72, the Clippers regained the lead!

When it came to the critical ball, the Raptors didn't call a timeout. It wasn't that Lenny Wilkens didn't want to. He didn't have as much confidence as Gentry, but there was no timeout to call.

Dell Curry advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Carter, pulling away, allowing Carter to single out Li Ao.

The fans, who had been frantic for the whole game, became quiet at this moment.

The TV commentator complained that the game was "too intense", which made many fans in front of the TV feel sick, but the fans at the scene didn't think so. Their blood was pumping throughout the whole process, and their voices were almost hoarse.

Now they take a moment and wait until Carter scores the goal, then they continue to cheer.

Raptors players also pinned their hopes on Carter.

Carter singled out Li Ao. This time, Li Ao did not follow suit. Carter successfully passed Li Ao and rushed to the right side of the free throw line, making an emergency stop!

The fans at the scene wanted to wait until the goal was scored before cheering, but Carter's passing step this time was so beautiful, the fans burst into cheers!
However, Carter used too much force when passing by this time and barely completed the emergency stop. The forward swing of the shot was too long, but he failed to notice it. After controlling his body shape, he continued to lift the ball... Li Ao caught up. Behind Carter!

Li Ao couldn't jump anymore at this time, so he took off directly after catching up.

His jumping height was like a little giant, but with his height and wingspan, he poked the ball raised by Carter!
The ball escaped Carter's control and flew forward. Bibby quickly grabbed the ball.

Carter's defensive awareness came online at this moment, and he turned around and chased after him.

As he expected, Li Ao took off his hat without hesitation!

Carter pursued the defense with all his strength, squeezing out the last bit of strength and closely following Li Ao's footsteps. When Li Ao received the ball, he pressed forward and pressed against him.

Carter was blocked, and the fans at the scene made sounds of annoyance, but Carter followed Li Ao, and the fans started cheering again. They were looking forward to Carter chasing the block, just like Morris when Li Ao chased the block in the second half of the third quarter. -Peterson.

There is no chasing cap, so it’s okay to guard against it.

Carter thought he had blocked the fast break. The fans at the scene, other Raptors players, and even the Clippers players all felt that the fast break was blocked.

But Li Ao suddenly accelerated after receiving the ball, instantly opened the distance between him and Carter, went straight to the basket, jumped up high and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!
75 to 72, the Clippers regained a 3-point lead!
The scene fell silent in an instant.

Raptors fans are in disarray, what's going on?Are you dazzled?

But Li Ao is hanging on the basket now!

Carter was also stunned as he watched Li Ao fall from the basket, putting his hands behind his ears as if listening...

The noise at the scene started again, and the fans in the audience were furious and booed wildly.

When Dell Curry ran back to receive the serve, the fans stopped booing and cheered for their flyer.

There is still time, 11 seconds left!
However, Carter's pursuit just now had exhausted all his strength.

If he defends the ball and his morale rises, he can squeeze in again.

Physical strength is like a ditch, there is always room for squeeze.

But Li Ao's dunk broke the string that Carter tried his best to tighten!

When the Raptors attacked, Carter didn't pass the blame, singles, fadeaways, three-pointers... Tonight, Carter did it too!
Under the interference of Li Ao's shooting relying on his height and wingspan, Carter fell back and missed three points!
O'Neal squeezed Olajuwon away to grab the ball, but was immediately hugged by Olajuwon and received a tactical foul.

O'Neal Jr. missed the first free throw, and the Raptors had a little hope. With 5 seconds left, they served the ball directly, went down quickly, received the ball, and shot a three-pointer. There was still a little hope.

But O'Neal Jr. has no fear at all. He came to the Clippers and has experienced too much. He has been hit, tortured, and everything. The first penalty was forfeited, and the second penalty continued to be punished.

His second free throw attempt was a hollow hit!

After O'Neal Jr. made the free throw, the Clippers players rushed directly towards O'Neal to celebrate the victory. The Raptors... don't care, just do whatever you want.

Dell Curry received the serve and quickly advanced across the half court, stepped on the middle circle and made a three-pointer... With the final whistle, the ball hit the basket...

76 to 72, the Clippers defeated the Raptors on the road!
The most critical goal was naturally Li Ao's block and counterattack dunk. After the game, Xu Jicheng shouted: "Spider-Man defeated the Flying Man with flying man!"

...

Lost!

Lost again!
Carter is so unwilling!

There are limits to what people can bear, in all aspects.

If it was just the performance of the Black Mamba, the answer, and his cousin that made him jealous and unwilling, it would still be within his limits.

But the appearance of Spider-Man became the trigger that detonated his fighting spirit.

He wanted to win, he wanted to win very much. It was no longer the meaningless duels before, but a real victory in the game.

But lost again...

Looking at the Clippers players celebrating, Carter chose to turn around and leave this time. Can't afford to lose?That means you can’t afford to lose.

Just as he turned around, he heard a cry.

"Vince, wait a minute."

At the sound of the evil big spider, Carter hesitated for a moment, then put his raised foot down.

Yes, yes, if you win, let the other party show off.

But Carter turned around and saw Li Ao running to the bench "dong dong dong" and taking out a box from under the seat. It seemed to be a saxophone box, but it was not the one he gave.

Is this a return gift?
After Li Ao ran back with the box "dong dong dong", Carter took the initiative to take the box, and he felt better.

As rumored, although Spider-Man is incompetent, he knows how to reciprocate.

Carter said: "Thank you for the gift in return."

"Gift in return? No, this is a performance instrument prepared for you. The saxophone you used to take the college entrance examination is too old. It was broadcast live across the United States. It's so embarrassing. I'll give you a new one..."

Carter's pupils trembled. He remembered that there was a bet!

他今晚拿到23分11板8助攻3抢断3盖帽，得分和助攻均是全场最高，但距离单场40+差了一大截！

After listening to Li Aola's long ending, he said "You don't want to regret it", Carter felt cool.

It's a cold night in Toronto...
