During the intermission, the commentators and guests were all commenting on the first half of the game.
tnt.
"The Clippers seem to be in some trouble."
Smith said.
"After all, it is the home court of the Magic, but this will not affect the final result. The Clippers can definitely win the championship. Don't forget that the Clippers have the home court advantage."
Barkley is confident.
espn.
"The Clippers are not as strong as everyone imagined, and the Lakers also won two games. If Zhang Zhiyuan hadn't broken out in several games, the Lakers would have entered the finals."
"Yes, Zhang Zhiyuan's performance today was very average. There is a high probability that the Magic can win, tie the score, and even hope to win the championship in one go."
...
In the second half, the two sides returned to the court.
The Magic players looked very excited, perhaps because they saw the hope of winning.
Zhang Zhiyuan then used God's Arrival.
[The arrival of the gods: the user's all attributes are increased by 20%, and there is a 20% chance of triggering a sure hit, lasting 24 minutes (clock time on the field). 】
Originally, with the blessing of the attribute chain, his attributes had already surpassed Pietrus by many.
Add another 20% at this time, and the gap between him and Pietrus is as big as the gap between NBA stars and CBA fringe players.
The game started with the Magic team attacking first.
Lewis made a three-pointer and hit it again.
52 to 66.
The Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan advanced with the ball, Pietrus stepped forward to interfere, and then Zhang Zhiyuan started a breakthrough.
One step over.
Before Pietrus even realized what happened, the person disappeared from in front of him.
Zhang Zhiyuan rushed to the inside and Lewis made up the defense.
Zhang Zhiyuan changed direction again and continued to rush towards the basket without slowing down.
Too fast, everything happened too fast. Howard didn't have time to make up the defense, and Zhang Zhiyuan was already hanging on the basket.
54 to 66.
The Magic attacked, Alston controlled the ball and advanced, Lowry boldly pressed, Alston passed through, and Zhang Zhiyuan made up for it.
Alston wanted to pass another pass, but Zhang Zhiyuan squeezed him. Alston suddenly felt a terrifying force and became unsteady when dribbling the ball.
Lowry caught up in time and took the opportunity to take out the ball and complete the steal.
Zhang Zhiyuan rushed forward, Lowry passed the ball at the right time, Zhang Zhiyuan took off from the free throw line after receiving the ball, and made a super violent slam dunk.
This dunk is just average if thrown into a dunk contest, but this is actual combat.
In actual combat, no one has taken off from the free throw line and dunked. The closest person to this achievement is James, who took off from the free throw line and completed the dunk in one step.
When Zhang Zhiyuan hung on the basket, the crowd erupted in exclamations.
Even if it was the opponent who did this, such a shocking scene would make it impossible for them to remain calm.
Except for the hardcore Magic fans, most of the audience were cheering for this dunk.
"Oh, bastard, I made a free throw line tomahawk dunk in actual combat."
Smith exclaimed.
"The game is over, the Magic has no hope, Zhang Zhiyuan started to explode, and the next step is his personal show."
Buckley said.
At the scene, the morale of the Clippers players was greatly shaken, but the Magic players were a little panicked.
They have all seen Zhang Zhiyuan's highlight moments and know that once Zhang Zhiyuan breaks out, he will be unstoppable.
At present, they cannot determine whether Zhang Zhiyuan has entered that state, but it is very likely.
The Magic attacked and Howard caught the ball from the basket and scored.
In transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan shot from outside the three-point line.
Pietrus slapped Zhang Zhiyuan's hand, but Zhang Zhiyuan's shot was not greatly affected, and he still threw the ball steadily towards the basket.
The whistle blows, the ball goes in, 31.
Zhang Zhiyuan walked to the free throw line. He was going to do some tricks. He aimed at the basket and threw it on the edge of the basket. The basketball rebounded.
Everyone was a little surprised, but Zhang Zhiyuan, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed over to grab the rebound, took off and dunked again.
The ball goes in.
In one round, he scored 5 points.
61 to 68, the point difference was directly reduced to 7 points.
The Clippers fans in front of the TV broke into deafening cheers.
Zhang Zhiyuan's performance just now was so explosive that it was simply unimaginable.
In just over a minute, he scored 9 points.
At this rate, the Clippers will be able to reverse the situation in less than three minutes.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Obviously, Zhang Zhiyuan was holding back and beating before."
Sun Zhengping said with emotion.
"Maybe he was not satisfied with the performance in the first half and was angry."
Zhang Lili said.
On the court, Alston carefully controlled the basketball.
Even though they were still in the lead, he was still very nervous and anxious.
Alston was not decisive in his breakthrough and after failing to pass anyone, he passed the ball to Lewis.
Zhang Zhiyuan pounced on the double-team, and Lewis passed to Turkoglu.
Zhang Zhiyuan pounced on Turkoglu again. Turkoglu could actually shoot. Zhang Zhiyuan's speed looked scary, but he wouldn't be able to reach him instantly.
However, Turkoglu was still worried about an accident and chose to pass again.
The ball was in Alston's hands and Zhang Zhiyuan stopped chasing it, but the Magic didn't have much time to attack.
In desperation, Alston made a three-pointer but failed.
Kaman blocked Howard, Thornton picked off the rebound, and the Clippers counterattacked.
Zhang Zhiyuan's tank-like breakthrough was unstoppable by the Magic.
Howard, the only one who could stop him, was restrained by Kaman again, and Zhang Zhiyuan scored a layup.
63 to 68.
The Magic counterattacked, and Turkoglu sneaked inside, caught the ball and layup, scoring two points.
The Clippers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to attack the basket.
This time Howard got rid of Kaman's entanglement and blocked Zhang Zhiyuan's path.
Zhang Zhiyuan took off directly, and Howard followed suit.
The two collided in the air.
Although Howard's weight was very large, Zhang Zhiyuan had the momentum to rush forward. Howard jumped on the spot and suffered a slight loss.
Ever since, the fans saw a jaw-dropping scene.
Zhang Zhiyuan knocked Howard away, continued to fall to the basket, and dunked the ball.
Dunk Howard and knock Howard down.
65 to 70, the Magic were forced to call a timeout.
Although they are still ahead, the Clippers have gained momentum and suppressed them in terms of momentum.
If we don't take some measures to deal with it, magic will definitely fail.
"Double team, double team resolutely, don't care if he has the ball or not..."
The magic coach arranged.
The two sides returned to the court and the Magic team attacked.
Howard caught the ball and Kaman sent it to the free throw line.
He has committed four fouls, but Kaman is not worried. He is already dispensable and it doesn't matter if he is sent off.
Howard made one of two free throws. The fans at the free throw scene were a little disappointed.
If Howard's free throws could be more accurate, the Magic could at least win by four or five points.
The Clippers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed. He could only pass the ball to his teammates.
He can take shots in double teams, but he can't dribble in double teams. It's too dangerous.
Zhang Zhiyuan still thought about throwing the ball to his teammates and then running without the ball. What he never expected was that there was no ball in his hands, and Pietrus and Turkoglu still stayed by his side, inseparable.
Lowry assisted Maggette and scored a layup.
The Magic attacked, but Lewis missed a jumper.
This was originally a normal situation, but at this time the Magic team was in a critical situation, and the fans were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
A single strike can make them anxious.
The Clippers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball, Turkoglu hesitated and was a step slower in pursuit.
Zhang Zhiyuan shook off Pietrus and reached for the ball.
Lowry passed the ball and Zhang Zhiyuan made a free throw.
It was so stable, the posture was extremely standard, and there was no interference at all. I completed the shot just like training.
The ball goes in.
70 to 71, the Clippers are only 1 point behind.
The Magic attacked and Howard missed a jump shot.
In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan attracted the defense, Lowry shot from mid-range and scored.
72 to 71, overtaken.
"Magic is hopeless."
Zhang Lili also came to a conclusion in advance.
Not only did he see it, but many fans also saw it. After all, the Clippers were so powerful that every goal must be scored.
Magic obviously can't defend against this kind of offense and defense.
The Magic counterattacked, and Alston threw a three-pointer to stop the bleeding.
The Clippers counterattacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan hit a three-pointer, which cut the Magic's thigh.
Alston continued to take action, trying to break out suddenly like in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Unfortunately, that kind of highlight moment is elusive for him.
Trying to find this state by force will only lead to blacksmithing.
The ball missed and Zhang Zhiyuan picked off the rebound in the crowd.
"Jumping so high."
Smith couldn't help but sigh.
When the Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan threw the ball to his teammates and then ran without the ball, easily getting rid of Pietrus.
It wasn't that Pietrus was distracted, but that the speed was too different, two or three levels behind.
Zhang Zhiyuan rushed to the basket, caught the ball and dunked again.
The ball goes in.
77 to 74, the Clippers led by 3 points.
In the next round, the Clippers' offense failed to score, and the scoring was finally interrupted.
But this is meaningless. The Magic no longer have the lead, the players have no fighting spirit, and the referees don't dare to help them anymore.
After several rounds, the score difference between the two teams became wider and wider.
After the third quarter, 94 to 82, the Clippers led by 12 points. They beat the Magic 42 to 19 in a single quarter and won by 23 points in a single quarter.
That's all because Zhang Zhiyuan went down in the last two minutes of the third quarter.
Otherwise, if the Clippers score at least 50 points in a single quarter, the Magic will collapse immediately.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyuan's style of play was too aggressive, he dunked too many times, and consumed a lot of physical energy, which allowed the Magic to survive until the fourth quarter.
But this is not something to be happy about, it is just a struggle for a little longer.
In the last quarter, Zhang Zhiyuan took a two-minute break and came on for the final battle.
To say that the decisive battle is a bit too optimistic about the Magic. To be more precise, it should be to go on the court and collect some data.
The Clippers attack, Zhang Zhiyuan plays without the ball, and it is difficult for the Magic to double-team.
Unless they pull and pull, they can't stop him just by blocking the position. Zhang Zhiyuan is too flexible and powerful. As long as he is given a small gap, he can squeeze through.
After getting rid of Pietrus, Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and rushed to the basket, colliding with Howard again.
The buckle was successful.
In one game, Howard was dunked twice, which was the first time in the NBA.
This scene once made basketball experts suspect that the big man played a role.
If a big man can't even stop his opponent from dunking, then what's the use of being big?
Of course, everyone knows in their hearts that Howard just can't stop Zhang Zhiyuan.
Others dare to act wild in his penalty area, and Howard can block them but they can't find the way.
The Magic attacked, Lewis missed a three-pointer, and the rebound was picked off by Zhang Zhiyuan.
Howard was stuck by Jordan, and no one left could compete with Zhang Zhiyuan.
"It really dominated both ends of the floor."
Sun Zhengping said.
"It's a pity that he can only break out occasionally. If he performs like this in every game, others will really be unable to play. The league can award the championship to Zhang Zhiyuan in advance."
Zhang Lili smiled.
Zhang Zhiyuan is really invincible in this state, and there is no way to limit him, unless three or four people hold hands and surround Zhang Zhiyuan, but that is too ridiculous.
When the Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed without the ball. Lowry and Maggette cooperated and toyed with Howard. Finally, it was Lowry who scored a layup.
At this point, Happy Beast was not happy anymore and hit the ball hard on the floor.
The Magic attacked, Howard got stuck and wanted the ball, and Jordan sent him directly to the free throw line.
After making one of two free throws, Howard himself shook his head, knowing that this would not work.
The Clippers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan shook off the double team, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.
Bang.
The ball missed, and the audience couldn't help but let out a "Huh".
Obviously, they are all used to Zhang Zhiyuan's goals, but they are not used to them not scoring.
The ball missed, but Maggette picked up an offensive rebound.
There is no way, everyone on the Magic team is chasing Zhang Zhiyuan, and there are fewer people in other positions, so the protection of rebounds is naturally much weaker.
Maggette made a jump shot.
104 to 84, the Clippers led by 20 points.
There are 7 minutes left in the game and the outcome is decided.
The Magic attacked, Turkoglu made a three-pointer, but missed the ball.
In the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan hit a three-pointer.
107 to 84.
The Magic team attacked, Alston broke through and made a layup, and scored two points with difficulty.
As a result, within seconds, the Clippers scored another two points, making Alston's efforts in vain.
The Magic team attacked, Pietrus made a three-pointer, and Zhang Zhiyuan made a big block.
"Did Pietrus lose his mind after being beaten? Who gave him the courage to shoot in front of Zhang Zhiyuan?"
Barkley complained.
The Clippers quickly counterattacked and scored.
109 to 84.
With the score difference reaching 25 points, it can be said that the game has been spent, but the Magic coach seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and forgot to substitute the main players and surrender.
The Magic will not surrender, and Dunleavy will not withdraw his main force.
The loss in the last game was too frustrating, and he didn't mind killing the Magic once and for all.
It's a pity that the team started too late. If it had been so strong from the beginning, it would have beaten the Magic by at least 80 points in one game.
The two sides continued to fight for several rounds, and the Magic coach finally remembered to surrender and quickly removed the main force.
At this time, they were already 30 points behind.
The Clippers then withdrew their main force, and the substitutes from both teams played the last three minutes.
The game is over.
134 to 101, the Clippers beat the Magic by 33 points.
They were still 11 points behind in the first half, which means they beat the Magic by 44 points in the second half.
Although it didn't break the record, it wasn't far behind.
After winning this game, the Clippers took a 3-1 lead, gained match point, and were only one step away from the championship.
