Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters blood abuse
After the timeout, Tang Shuai deliberately adjusted his offensive method. He consumed a lot of physical energy and began to use his threat on the offensive end to assist his teammates. After three consecutive assists, the game was coming to an end. At the last moment, he also scored another goal as the Warriors relaxed defense.
28 points and 5 assists, this is Tang Shuai's contribution in a single quarter. Compared to the first time he used a single consumption package with the Spurs, he has made a very significant improvement.
With his shocking performance, the Clippers scored 42 points in a single quarter. The 42-21 score seemed to shock the fans on the scene. It is hard to imagine that this was at the home court of the Warriors, and the side behind was the defending champion. You should know that with such a score before, the Warriors would definitely lead the Warriors.
Tang Shuai was replaced by Pierce until the last few seconds of the first quarter. He was almost exhausted and forced to walk to the sidelines. He fell on the bench and gasped violently.
"Are you okay?" Paul in the back row saw his appearance and stood up and asked with concern.
Tang Shuai nodded, unable to keep his words in a state of difficulty.
"You should have gotten off early," Paul said.
Tang Shuai barely squeezed out a smile. The reason why he didn't end was impossible to say it.
Paul patted him on the shoulder and sat back.
When he came back from the second quarter, Cole replaced Thompson at the beginning, and Thompson played with four substitutes.
Originally, Thompson's two fouls was extremely unfavorable for the Warriors, but now facing the Clippers' substitute lineup gave him a great opportunity. As soon as he started the second quarter, he scored repeatedly, and the Warriors rose quickly.
The cheers of fans at the scene also overwhelmed with Thompson's scoring. The Warriors are a well-known tenacious team. During the 24-game winning streak, many games were reversed and won. So even though they were more than 20 points behind in the first quarter, they still believed that the home team could reverse. Thompson's performance on the field is a signal.
After more than 3 minutes in the second quarter, the score on the court became 30-45. Under Thompson's leadership, the Warriors have already narrowed the gap to 15 points.
"Coach, let me play." Tang Shuai stood up and said. Although the effect of the single consumption package has passed, the deterrent power of his performance in the first quarter is still there. Even if he does not attack at this time, the team will regain the initiative, let alone he has an exclusive OSover package for AI.
Kassel nodded, turned around and pointed at Brewer and Tang Shuai, and directly asked them to come on as a substitute.
When Tang Shuai walked towards the technical table, he unconsciously turned his head and looked at the place where Su Mei was on the stage. Because of the angle, he looked at this position. The first person he saw was not Su Mei, but Zhu Shan?
Wearing a pink dress, he still had two familiar braids. He stared at him in a flash, who was not Zhu Shan.
When the two of them met, Zhu Shan's face turned red with a "swish". Then he immediately lowered his head.
Zhu Shan's appearance surprised Tang Shuai, but he quickly continued to look up and look at Su Mei.
Su Mei had a look of concern on her face, and she could see that she had seen him after the first quarter.
In order not to worry, Tang Shuai reached out and made an "ok" gesture to indicate that he was fine.
"beep!"
The whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the game entered the dead ball time, and the players had to replace them.
Shuai Tang turned around and walked towards the field with Brewer, replacing Booker and Ismail Smith.
Tang Shuai went up and clapped Booker. He said, "It's a good job", stuffed his top tighter into his pants. Then he went on stage.
During the Clippers' offense, Brewer directly sent the ball to Tang Shuai to the bottom line. Tang Shuai took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
The Warriors' lineup at this time were Barbosa, Thompson, Rush, Spets and Azeri.
The Clippers' lineup is Shuai Tang, Brewer, Green, Josh Smith and Aldridge.
After Tang Shuai advanced to the frontcourt, he directly called Smith to come up and do a pick-and-roll, and then went into the inside. The Warriors' contraction was immediately retracted. He saw this scene and stopped immediately. McGrady pulled out the bag and activated it, and two-pointers hit a steadily.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and Tang Shuai's score suddenly reminded them of the fear of being dominated in the first quarter.
Without saying a word, Cole directly replaced Livingston and Iguodala on the court. This is the Warriors' strongest defensive formation at present. It can be seen that he has already sacrificed his fortune and will never let Tang Shuai score like he did in the first quarter.
The Warriors' offense, Sbetts hit Smith from the inside, and made a steadily two-pointer with a backward shot.
This is a microwave-type player who can score points on the court and can score continuously with extremely high efficiency in a short period of time.
The Warriors' offense this quarter is no problem.
When the Clippers' offensive round was in the offensive round, Tang Shuai passed half of the game, and the Warriors immediately changed their defensive formation. Livingston and Thompson surrounded him directly. Now Booker and Pierce are not on the court, so they dare to double-team unscrupulously.
"color!"
The shouts of the audience at the scene were also deafening. I don’t know if it was really cheering for the home team, but because I vented my inner fear of Tang Shuai.
When Tang Shuai saw the double team, he passed the ball to Brewer in advance.
As soon as the ball was out, Barbosa immediately turned around and took the defense.
Opportunities on the basketball court are fleeting. Brewer's three-pointer was unstable and he didn't dare to take action. After he hesitated, Barbosa's backup defense followed.
Thompson was pestering Tang Shuai at this time and was not going to give him another chance to catch the ball.
Shuai Tang immediately started running towards Brewer. Thompson pestered him and made a little big move. It was obvious that Thompson had made up his mind to defend him.
Tang Shuai was delighted when he saw this. What he was afraid of was that Thompson was not careful about him.
He ran to Brewer, waved his hand and made the move to ask for the ball. While doing this move, he tried his best to squeeze Thompson away.
Thompson would not let him succeed. He went around to the side of him and Brewer and pushed him back hard. The two of them were fighting each other with their bodies.
Tang Shuai was a little annoyed when he acted directly. The two of them got entangled together.
"beep!"
The referee's whistle rang and he pointed at Thompson.
Thompson made a defensive foul!
When the referee whistle sounded, the fans heard the shouts. When the referee's decision came out, the entire court exploded.
"Black whistle! Black whistle!"
The verbal abuse was overwhelming, as if he wanted to swallow the referee alive.
Cole also ran to the sidelines, constantly refereeing to argue about something, his face was so ferocious that he was quite excited.
Cole is the representative of the league's Wenya coach. Seeing his performance like this now, he obviously has a lot of opinions on the penalty.
In fact, this penalty is a kind of thing that can be said or not, but in fact, Tang Shuai's shocking performance in the first quarter also shocked the referee. They subconsciously treated Shuai as a superstar, and Thompson's defensive move was also a bit big, and Tang Shuai's angry expression was, in order to avoid conflict, it is understandable to call this foul.
In fact, Cole was so excited not because of the penalty itself, but because it was Thompson's third personal foul. It only took a few minutes to get up, and the touch was hot, but it was about to end up in a blink of an eye. Other coaches probably wouldn't be able to stand it.
Walton hurried up and pulled Cole away. If the argument continues, the referee's T will come soon.
After being pulled apart, Cole lowered his head and cursed for a few words. He then pointed to Rush, who had just been replaced, and asked him to play again.
Thompson looked extremely upset and walked straight to the bench with his head down. Even though his teammates said hello to him, he didn't hear him. After sitting down, he took the staff's towel and wiped his face, and even hit the ground suddenly.
Tang Shuai's attention has been put back on the court, and he did not expect the referee's call to be so decisive, but he knew that Thompson's moves so big, and fouls are only a matter of time.
In fact, the two fouls in the first quarter were actually a time bomb. As a famous star, Thompson broke into a sieve in the first quarter, and he could not bear any face. So it is normal to fight on the defensive end. When these two factors are combined, it is difficult not to foul.
When Thompson went there, the Warriors' offensive firepower was reduced a lot. In addition, in order to defend Tang Shuai, the players on the field were all more defensive than attack. The result was that the score became like squeezing toothpaste. On the other hand, the Clippers had Tang Shuai's restraint on the field. After replacing Booker and Pierce on the field, the team suddenly became a soldier for the whole nation.
72 to 45, after the first half, the Clippers scored 72 in the first half, breaking the 67-point single-game scoring record set against the Warriors in 2014, and the scores of both sides widened to an astonishing 27 points.
With the accumulation of the first half, the Clippers were like building a mountain between themselves and the Warriors. If the Warriors want to catch up with the score, they must cross this mountain. This is obviously not an easy thing to do.
120 to 108, although the Warriors played well in the second half and even made a strong counterattack, the pit they dug before was too big, and without Curry, it was obviously unrealistic for them to fill in the pit in the half.
After the game, Tang Shuai once again received a single consumption package. He made 18 of 29 shots in this game and contributed 43 points and 7 assists. In fact, after scoring 28 points in the first quarter, he scored 15 points in the next three quarters, which is a very small score. The Warriors are desperate to double-team him, and also related to his intention to organize teammates.
Anyway, no matter what, the 43-point score exceeded his 39 points against the Rockets in the last game, which also set a new Clippers rookie playoff score record.
The Clippers led the game with the maximum time difference of 27 points, defeating the Warriors away. This was also the first leg of the series since Cole coached the Warriors.
It was definitely a moment to remember for the Warriors in the Cole era, and for the Clippers, it meant significantly more.
