The ball was delivered very beautifully, which can be said to be a complete reflection of Clarkson's ability. After the basketball was shot from him, he brushed the rebound and bounced into the net bag.

A burst of excited cheers suddenly broke out at the scene, and this ball was definitely worth a thousand gold!

Donovan immediately called for a pause.

After scoring the goal, Clarkson was also quite excited. After landing, he danced an inexplicable dance.

When Tang Shuai saw Clarkson's movements, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. When it comes to showing off, he still has a long way to go.

There are still the last 50 seconds left in the game, and the difference between the two sides is 4 points. The Thunder still has hope of winning. The key is to see if they will play a two-point or a three-pointer tactic in the next round.

The fans were waiting anxiously. Although it was just a regular season game, the two teams encountered each other in the Western Conference Finals last year, and the grudges and confrontations between Shuai Tang and Westbrook made this game very meaningful.

"Dou~"

After a long wait, the players from both sides returned to the court.

The Thunder sent the ball, and Westbrook took the ball to the frontcourt. Instead of signaling his teammates to pull away like before, he raised his hand to signal his teammates to run into the tactics.

This change was obviously beyond Walton's expectations. The focus of his defense when he was suspended was Westbrook.

Although it was only the second season of the NBA, Donovan coached hundreds of games in Naa and was not in vain. He obviously had to be better at playing this tactic.

The Lakers' defensive formation was a bit messy and was led away by the Thunder players.

The end point of this ball tactic should be Oladipo.

Westbrook was about to pass the ball, and the Lakers' defense center of gravity was quickly putting pressure on the other side.

But at the moment when this movement happened, Westbrook suddenly pulled the ball back and then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basket.

This happened too quickly, and the Lakers players did not react. When he rushed to the basket, only Noel took a step back, but it was a bit late.

After he threw himself into the air, he made a low layup in the air and sent the ball into the basket steadily!

119 to 121! The point difference was chased again to only 2 points left! The game time was less than 30 seconds left!

The Lakers have no timeouts, and the Thunder have used the full-game press.

Clarkson almost dribbled out of bounds against Westbrook's tight defense.

Shuai Tang hurriedly shouted at him, and Clarkson hurriedly brought the ball over.

After receiving the ball, Tang Shuai was not lucky. He saw the opportunity and threw a long ball into the frontcourt.

Noel had turned around at this time and saw the ball passed by Tang Shuai. He jumped high and grabbed the ball, and then raised it above his head.

The Lakers thrilled to break the Thunder's press, and both players quickly retreated to the Thunder's half.

There are 25 seconds left in the game, and the Lakers' offensive time is still 20 seconds left.

After Tang Shuai arrived at the frontcourt, Noel quickly handed the ball to him.

After receiving the ball, Shuai Tang observed the Thunder's defense.

The Thunder did not choose to double-team, and Clarkson's score in the last goal obviously made them afraid.

When Tang Shuai saw that the Thunder did not come up with double-team, he didn't care about Walton and the team doctor's advice. When he was transporting the ball and waiting until there were only 10 seconds left in the offensive time, he lowered his center of gravity and chose to attack.

If the Lakers were one point ahead now, the Thunder would probably have used foul tactics, but now they are 2 points behind. The only way they want to win is to stop the Lakers from scoring. 3 points will definitely not be given. In fact, 2 points are not enough. There is not much time left in offensive, and the 4-point difference is basically sentenced to death in advance.

As soon as Shuai Tang broke through, Westbrook directly pushed up.

The ultimate showdown between two top defenders finally came at the last moment of the game.

The eyes of the two people on the commentator's seat were shining. Although they did not shout, they could feel that they were also quite nervous and excited. One was hoping that Shuai Tang would score this goal, and the other was hoping that Westbrook would defend this goal.

The audience also held their breath and concentrated. The entire stadium was quiet, with only the basketball hitting the floor and making dull collisions.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Shuai Tang began to speed up. After leaning against Westbrook for two steps, he changed direction to the left and then to the right.

Westbrook was guarding the defensive position.

The attack time is passing, and there are five or six seconds left in a blink of an eye. With Westbrook's strict defense, Tang Shuai still has not found a suitable shooting space.

An anxious look appeared on the faces of the fans at the scene.

At this moment, Tang Shuai, who had originally dribbled the ball to the right, suddenly pulled the ball backwards, and then dribbled the ball from behind to the left.

The dribble behind him came suddenly, and Westbrook was brought to the right by the action of his right hand, and he didn't keep up at all.

After Tang Shuai dribbled the ball to the left, he took a step back, picked up the ball with his left hand, and then jumped up.

Westbrook stopped, but it was too late.

Tang Shuai jumped high and pulled out his hand steadily in the excited eyes of the fans on the scene.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound and cheers from the fans at the scene, Tang Shuai steadily hit this key jump shot.

The difference in score became 4 points!

There are less than 5 seconds left in the game!

Donovan called for the last pause.

When the scene ended, Tang Shuai reached out and waved upwards to the audience, and the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

"Tang is getting more and more like a superstar." Xiao looked at this scene and couldn't help but speak.

Walton nodded with a smile.

There was not much time left for the Thunder. After the timeout, Donovan arranged a three-pointer tactic for Westbrook, but the Lakers defended strictly and did not let Westbrook receive the ball. In the end, there was no way. Oladipo chose to break through and lay up and sent the ball into the basket before the whistle.

When the ball entered, the red light on the sidelines also rang.

1-121, the Lakers won this home game in a thrilling way!

When the final whistle sounded, the fans were celebrating wildly with ribbons all over the sky.

It was an ordinary game, but it was a very meaningful game.

Tang Shuai reached out to applaud. After arousing another burst of excited cheers from the fans, he smiled and left the player channel with his teammates.

This game was the best overall game for the Lakers.

Tang Shuai performed well, making 15 of 24 shots and scoring the team's highest 34 points, plus 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Gasol scored 20+10, and even Noel contributed 10 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks in super inside data. Batum, Stephenson, and Barnes also scored 16 points, 14 points and 12 points respectively. In the end, the Lakers, who were in double 6, also won the final game victory.

More importantly, Westbrook of the Thunders performed quite crazy. He made 21 of 37 shots and contributed a game-high 46 points, plus 8 rebounds and 10 assists. If it weren't for Tang Shuai's final appearance and let the Lakers score points in two consecutive rounds, it would be hard to say whether the game's win or loss would be.

At the post-match press conference, when a reporter asked why Tang Shuai was on the court with an injury and whether he was worried about missing the game like the previous game, Tang Shuai's answer was very simple and real: I just wanted to win this game.

When the reporter asked again that this was just an ordinary game, Tang Shuai's answer still did not change.

"I just want to win this game. There is no difference between ordinary and extraordinary. For me, winning is always the first goal."

This is a press conference for the Lakers, and Tang Shuai's answer made the reporters who asked the question unable to help but be moved.

At another scene, the Thunder also held a post-match press conference.

Westbrook was not very excited because of losing, but when reporters asked about Tang Shuai's performance, he became abnormal with the previous one.

Last season, the two teams fought several times, and most of the time the Thunder won. Westbrook disdained Tang Shuai's performance, but this time, he gave a very high evaluation: "It's sad to lose the game, but Tang performed very well. He led a team and could still play in the last moment. He won the game for the team. He was a respectable opponent, and I respect him very much."

Respect, it is too difficult to say these two words from Westbrook. In the past, in press conferences such as this kind of occasion, he talked more about fighting spirit and not admitting defeat, and rarely affirming the performance of his opponents, let alone using words like "respect" with praise.

It is obvious that Tang Shuai impressed the all-around point guard with his practical actions, and even felt that there was a little bit of mutual appreciation.

However, when the reporter asked if he was considering whether he would join the Lakers next year, Westbrook put away the smile on his face and directly refused to answer the reporter's question.

The press conference ended here, and Westbrook's true thoughts were unknown, but Tang Shuai's outstanding performance moved Westbrook, and the fans' reactions could be imagined.

?: Why haven’t Tang Shuai learned the truth that he is injured and sick and unable to play! If this causes a quit, what will you let my fans see? What a bastard!

Xiuming Tianlong: To be honest, this is just a regular season game, there is really no need to play with injuries! However, seeing this return-to-door game, people always feel a burst of blood. This is probably the impact of the previous generation of players! It is hard to imagine what it was like to go on the court with more than a dozen injuries, paying tribute to these great players!

Book friend Hehe: A player can average 30+ points per game, hit key balls at critical moments, and lead the team to win one headwind after another. I think after this game, Tang officially announced that he would enter the ranks of MVP competition. In the next week's MVP list, we have no reason not to see him!
