Chapter 339 Killer True Colors!
The game entered the fourth quarter.
Xu Xiang and Paojiao joined hands to take a rest and replaced Miles and Solomon Hill.
And the Clippers' Paul, who rested for half a quarter, started to play. He thought he could use this gap to open the score, but no one expected.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three strikes in a row hard to wear off the bright smile on his face.
Missed three-pointers in a row!
Paul is a little angry!
However.
"Bang!"
Strike again!
Strictly speaking, Paul has three-point ability, and he is not weak.The peak of his three-point shooting was in the Hornets in the 09-10 season. At that time, Jean was still called the "Queen Bee". At that time, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40.9%.
However, in recent years, especially after coming to the Clippers, his three-point shots have decreased.
The Clippers are different from the Hornets. The Hornets used to have one core, but the Clippers now have three cores, himself + Griffin + Jordan (0.5) + Redick (0.5).
He simply couldn't shoot threes consistently with the Clippers.
Therefore, recently his three-point shooting percentage was the highest last year, almost reaching 39.8%, just a little bit less than 40%.
Such a three-point shooting rate is actually not low.
But he just couldn't make the shot, just like the mistake Xu Xiang made before.
"Pfft..." Xu Xiang couldn't help laughing on the sidelines. He didn't expect the mighty Paul to be here today.
In fact, in later generations, Paul was scolded by fans because of the 4-year 1.6 million contract reached with the Rockets.
4 million in 1.6 years, converted to 4000 million US dollars per year!
Of course, as a representative of one of the few traditional point guards in the league, the money is barely worth it.
个人认为3000万左右就差不多了，要知道哈登16年签的合同才是4年1.16亿，每年也就2900万美金而已
However, the Rockets are willing to pay such a high price without seeing any effect, which is why the fans are angry.
先是7换1，然后是1.6亿砸下去，而他在18-19还没打完的赛季，场均只能拿到16.1分8.6个助攻4.4个篮板这样的数据。
The Rockets fans were furious, so they grabbed him and spit on him.
Thanks to Paul's "help", the Pacers quickly caught up with the point difference in the fourth quarter and took the lead again.
Doc Rivers hesitated on the sidelines and finally called a timeout.
He doesn't know how to adjust tactics, but he is not a fool. Paul's state is really bad, and he is completely hindered in the above.
The strange thing is that after the timeout, Paul was still on the court, and the corresponding Doc Rivers looked dissatisfied and angry.
Xu Xiang and Paojiao also played. With more than 5 minutes left in the game, the Clippers were 79 to 82 and the Pacers led by 3 points.
The Clippers attacked. Although Paul strongly rejected Rivers' substitution tactics, he still knew how to measure. After advancing the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Griffin.
After Griffin got the ball, he took a big stride and rushed in!
Plumlee hardtop!
Still unmoved, after Griffin hit in, he handed over to Jordan and made an alley-oop hit!
Griffin is still strong, and directly crushed in.
The Pacers' outside organization, George Hill scored the ball to Xu Xiang, Xu Xiang continued to score the ball to Pickled Jiao, Pickled Jiao continued to score the ball to Plumlee, all five players of the Pacers except Hibbert pulled the ball beyond the three-point line and began to operate.
After consecutive points, there was finally an open space in front of Paojiao, and he made a three-pointer!
"Shh!"
With that, pickled peppers feel good today.
81 to 85, the point difference widened instead.
The time passed by every minute and every second, because the point difference was not too big, so neither side wanted to give up the game, and the fight was back and forth, in full swing.
"Oh!"
As soon as Xu Xiang connected the pickled pepper to complete the dunk, Paul found Jordan and agreed to the dunk!
Xu Xiang shoots a three-pointer here, and Redick pays one back over there!
Comparable!
And the game time is running out!
At 1 minute and 30 seconds, both sides still had two chances to attack.
The Clippers were 86 to 88, and the Pacers led by 2 points.
The Clippers had the opportunity to attack first. They were behind now, so they played in a hurry. After organizing from outside the three-point line, Paul directly used the cover to kill inside.
The three-pointer doesn't work, and it's impossible to make a layup!
"Shh!"
The small tie rod under the basket was tied, and the two sides tied at 88!
Switching offense, the Pacers' organization task was still handed over to George Hill. He kept gesturing, and at the same time, everyone in the Pacers began to move positions according to his gestures.
Xu Xiang can also organize, but he is still not as good as someone like George Hill who has played point guard for so many years.
It's a pity that the Clippers' defensive strength is very high. After half a day, they still couldn't find an open opportunity. Xu Xiang went out to catch the ball. At this time, it was time to hand it over to the "nuclear weapons" in the team. Even Xu Xiang was not very accurate in this quarter.
Xu Xiang took the ball and dribbled to meet Redick's defense!Go straight to the three-pointer!
In fact, he can give this ball to Pickle, who feels good today, but before Paul pinches over, he still has a good chance of singles against Redick.
Because Redick's defense is very soft, he can't kill him at all.
"Shh!"
Xu Xiang scored the goal directly!
"boom!"
Game-killing [-]-pointers!
With 40 seconds left in the game, the Pacers led 88 to 91 by 3 points!
"Wow!"
The fans cheered, Xu Xiang's ability at the critical moment is too strong!
However, the Clippers are not without a chance.
As long as this goal is scored and the next goal is defended, it is likely to cause a counterattack!
However, this attack must shoot a three-pointer!
Two points are too late!
The Clippers quickly sent the baseline ball, and Paul controlled the ball and accelerated directly!
Time waits for no one, and they cannot delay now.
George Hill reached out to interfere from time to time. In order to protect the ball, Paul directly turned his back!
Back from outside the three-point line!
Seeing Paul's posture, Xu Xiang knew that he wanted to fight himself.
Sure enough, while ignoring Griffin on the inside and reaching for the ball, Paul swayed left and right and suddenly turned around for a three-pointer!
The arc of the ball was very high, and George Hill couldn't interfere at all, so he could only watch the ball fall towards the basket!
"Shh!"
Actually entered!
Paul's desperate counterattack scored directly!
After ironing for a whole section, the iron tree finally bloomed!
91 flats!
Paul looked very excited and started yelling at the audience on the spot.
Coach Nate on the sidelines gestured to Xu Xiang with his eyes, whether to call a timeout, Xu Xiang slowly shook his head.
No need.
With 23 seconds left, the shot clock has stopped, and now it is the game time clock.
After 15 seconds, Xu Xiang still didn't understand, and kept dribbling outside the three-point line.
10 seconds,
8 seconds,
6 seconds,
4 seconds,
The Clippers suddenly started attacking, and they wanted overtime!
At this moment, Xu Xiang made a sudden shot, facing Redick and Paul's zone defense, and shot directly!
"Shua!" The ball was scored!
Successful hit!
