Chapter 954: A Long Section
The Shark's performance was an accident and a surprise. No one expected that at the age of 41, he could help Yao Zhuo for six and a half minutes at the intensity of the life-and-death battle in the finals.
Yao Yun only had an arm bleeding, so it was nothing serious, but disinfection took time.
Before, he just stopped the bleeding and wanted to go on. Seeing that the shark was playing well, the team doctor took him down and handled it carefully. After a while, there was not much demand on the field, so he sat for half a quarter.
Within six and a half minutes, the Sharks scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
It can be understood that he only took half a quarter to complete four positional offenses, helping the team defend their advantage, and helping his teammates score through his own threats.
The 40-year-old old shark still has such power. It is easy to imagine how strong he is at his peak.
"You and Kobe should have won 6 championships together..."
At the end of the half, Xie Hou slashed the old shark's heart: "As a result, I only got 3. How did you do it?"
"Don't mention it, some regrets cannot be made up." Sharks did have regrets. As he approached his retirement, Kobe fell from the peak. As the younger generation rose, fewer and fewer people were willing to know about it.
Xie Hou felt emotion when he saw the 41-year-old shark still so powerful.
The strongest inside line and the strongest defender in the world are not only a replica of "Magician and Tiangou", but also a young evolutionary version. Sharks are younger than Tiangou, and they should have gone further. But success and failure are young. Young people with bright futures are unwilling to bow their heads. If the Magician descended to Angel City, Tiangou was also the age of the Shark. It is hard to say whether they can work together to start a 11-year rule over the West.
I have no regrets about the mistakes I made when I was young.
The old shark has heavy steps. He should have been the most unmoving veteran in the team. Because he has achieved success and fame, he has three rings in his hand. He often despises the "old men who can't get the ring".
But his contributions tonight were greater than Hill, McGrady, and Ray Allen.
"I actually caught up with it."
Corey Mustu looked at the score, 47 to 52.
"Are you disappointed?" Xue Wei felt worse when she looked at her father.
Crui often speaks for opening remarks with "I am a little boy from Indianapolis". When he is the local snake, he is not right about some trivial matters.
"I was surprised..." Corey said, "and probably understood why the Clippers lost three games even though they were stronger."
"Why?"
"Is this a question?" Corey looked at his daughter proudly, "Why don't you understand what I can understand after watching the half-game?"
"Remind that before I can tell you the first and second half of the basketball game, you even want to get up and celebrate the first half of the Clippers!" Xuewei said angrily, "If I hadn't stopped you, I'm afraid that the Clippers' short sleeves would have been exposed!"
The Indian man who should support the Pacers the most smiled without shame, "It's indeed Dad's little cotton jacket, which makes you see."
"I shouldn't have invited you to watch the game on site!"
Corey beat him up and stopped making his daughter angry.
The scene was quiet for nearly ten minutes, and the players from both sides returned to the scene to warm up.
With a 5-point gap, anything can happen.
At the beginning of the second half, Xie Hou asked Yao Zhu to play the pick-and-roll.
As soon as the little giant's body and tonnage fell, it was the moving Great Wall. The opponent encountered a tough blockade. Xie Hou broke through, dunked, and made a defensive foul from Bosh.
"Wonderful 21! Yao's pick-and-roll quality is excellent, and Arthur's ending is extremely exciting!"
Xie Hou made an extra penalty, 50 to 52.
At the beginning, Pacers fans thought this was the beginning of turning defeat into victory, but they did not expect that the Clippers sounded the clarion call for the first time.
James scored three points.
Xie Hou's defense is difficult. Will he put the shot next?
55 to 50
Yao's cover helped Ray Allen get a chance, but the Clippers' defense change was not a vegetarian. Anthony defended well and "Jesus" did not exist.
Westbrook grabbed the defensive rebound and pushed the tide of counterattack.
57 to 50
Xie Hou also made a central shot.
52 to 57
As a result, Griffin and Bosh had double pick-and-rolls at high positions, forcing Yao to fail to defend.
The Clippers accurately hit Yao Yun's defensive pace, and the score was like drinking water, and another goal was in a blink of an eye.
59 to 52
Yao Yun didn't like kite-proof men before joining the Pacers. When he was in Houston, he was always thrown by Nowitzki. He couldn't get it well when he hit CBA and met Wang Zhizhi with a similar style to Nowitzki.
There is indeed a problem of style compatibility on the basketball court.
Wang Zhizhi, Boozer, Nowitzkik Yao Yun, but Howard can rely on his athletic ability to suppress the penalty area when he meets Boozer and Nowitzki. When he meets Yao Yun, it is a scene where a high school student beats the elementary school student.
The Clippers' style has expanded Yao Yun's problem.
Yao Yu felt burdened in his heart when he didn't do anything to the team in the first half. After resting for so long, he was about to break out in the second half. He took away the fairies on the aircraft carrier with Xie Hou. Unexpectedly, he became the ones who lost their chains?
He could not bear it, nor could he accept it.
He was angry and his hands and feet were inconsistent. He was originally a tall man of 220 cm and a size criticized by many nutritionists. He ran back and forth without adding burden to his teammates. He was desperate to the offensive end. His hands felt too hard, and his anger defeated reason and feel. His condition was extremely bad.
Finally, after more than half of the third quarter, Yao Yu, who was highly tense, had a sprain.
The Giants dismounted, and the Pacers were at the end of the first quarter, and they were again 12 points behind the Clippers. Less than four minutes left before the end of the third quarter, O'Neal Jr. came up to take the center position, and the power forward was Ty Gibson.
O'Neal Jr. hasn't played center for a long time, but it's actually just right for the Clippers.
The opponent's center Chris Bosh is an All-Star when playing power forward, and playing center is a kite man who is difficult to protect the rebound. He faces O'Neal, who can't play center now, and is in a slight pound of battles, but Gibson is uncomfortable.
Compared with Bosh, Griffin is not in line with James and Westbrook. He has not developed a three-pointer that can pull space for three years. He has a mid-range jump shot and is focused on the left side, and the impact on the penalty area is still the mainstream way of playing.
The characteristics are simple and not difficult to guard against. If he had no James, Anthony, Westbrook and Bosh who could shoot three-pointers around him, the Pacers would not have taken him into consideration.
There are so many threats in the front, Griffin and others jump around casually.
Griffin began to dominate the offensive rebounds, Bosh only focused on pulling space and had no sense of existence, while the Clippers' outside line showed the importance of Yao Yun.
Without Yao Yun looking at the basket, James and Westbrook stopped taking the Pacers' penalty area seriously. After you finished singing, I would appear, abandon the shooting options and go all to the basket.
No matter how strong Xie Hou's single defense skills are, James can still pass by a pick-and-roll.
Once his defense was broken, the person who blocked James' advance changed from Yao to O'Neal Jr. would he be afraid?
Within two minutes, James scored 6 points and 1 assist, 74-59.
The Clippers lead the Pacers by 15 points, and there is still one minute before the end of the three quarters.
Xie Hou looked at his at a loss teammate, without panic or anger. On the contrary, he was a little calm.
Some of his teammates have won the championship with him, but some have not. It doesn’t matter if they have won it or not. It’s just that I have won it four years ago. Can I eat it four years ago?
Sometimes it can, sometimes it can't.
The basketball returned to Xie Hou's hands and transported it to the frontcourt.
"He probably won't be taken away by the young people when he watches the game, right?" Corey suddenly asked his daughter.
Xuewei snorted: "Will that just fulfill your wish?"
"While I'm willing to watch the Pacers lose, I want them to do their best, not in that way."
"You want to say, did they not do their best?"
"No." Corey stopped joking and said seriously, "It can be seen whether a person, a group, has done its best for a certain goal."
My father's words made Xuewei's thoughts sink into the ocean of memories.
She is recalling the Pacers’ past three seasons.
She watched it one by one, and could understand what her father said. She dared to assure anyone that the Pacers in the past three years have done their best in every life-and-death battle, facing stronger opponents, they did not lose their dignity, and everyone who defeated them thought it was the most difficult part of the entire journey.
They have been with the opportunity for three years and have once again got the opportunity. This year is the closest they have ever won the championship in four years. They have already won three games in the Clippers, and as long as they win another game, they can change their goals.
Xuewei looked at the field silently with many questions and expectations in her heart.
Xie Hou is about to finish his job of breaking through James.
Once upon a time, breaking through James was something he could do as he wanted to do. The difficulty of breaking through the opponent has increased by 50 times compared to the beginning. This reflects James' growth, proves the strength of time, shows King Arthur's old age, and proves that the world will eventually belong to the younger generation.
The strangest thing is that Xie Hou last time he won the cup four years ago, but everyone thinks he is still the number one person in the league.
He felt that he was not, and he couldn't resist the fans' like him. Some black fans questioned why he couldn't even win the championship, so why was he the first person?
Xie Hou thought what they said made sense, and now he has to prove himself again.
His breakthrough was successfully completed.
Was it going too smoothly? A trace of uneasiness flashed through his mind.
The beautiful pull rod passed Chris Bosh's assisting defense. Anthony wanted to exert some force. His athletic ability and size were not enough, but he was just sighing and it was difficult to accomplish anything.
Just when Xie Hou thought his attack was about to be completed, Blake Griffin, who was obviously very present but ignored by the Pacers as "...", gave Xie Hou a nail-board hat.
Xie Hou couldn't even stabilize the center of gravity. The moment he fell, the Clippers counterattacked. When he got up, the score difference was over 17 points.
There are 37 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.
Chapter completed!
