After the Tigers finished their away game against the Clippers, they rushed back to San Francisco to prepare for the fifth game. Since they had already obtained the match point, as long as they won this game, they would win the series.
Victory in the game and advance to the next round
The fifth game started when Yao Ming passed the ball to Yang Zhenxing.
When Nick Young was distracted, Yang Zhenxing rushed over with a swipe. Yang Zhenxing was about to go in. However, the overall defense of the Los Angeles Clippers was strong enough. It was not easy for Yang Zhenxing to score directly.
Paul watched Yang Zhenxing come in, and immediately rushed over to block Yang Zhenxing's layup. Yang Zhenxing saw that Paul was coming but did not dare to take action in a hurry. Yang Zhenxing feinted, and Paul was suddenly thrown away.
Yang Zhenxing shook Paul away. Yang Zhenxing prepared for a layup and took the shot.
Jordan rushed up, and Yang Zhenxing's ball had already been released. Jordan jumped up high, and with a bang, the ball was kicked out of bounds by Jordan.
Jordan jumped down, checked shoulders with Paul, and then high-fived Nick Young and Griffin.
Yang Zhenxing had no expression on his face. Jordan's defensive ability was pretty good, especially his blocks ranked among the top three in the league. Yang Zhenxing said in his heart: "This guy can jump really high. You must pay attention next time."
Yang Zhenxing tilted his head and looked at Phil Jackson, who watched the game expressionlessly.
It's still the Bengals' ball.
Yao Ming's baseline serve was sent to Ma Yang Zhenxing, and Yang Zhenxing returned it to Yao Ming, who was in the inside position.
Yao Ming faced his old rival DeAndre Jordan. In the last game, Yao Ming beat DeAndre Jordan to the point where he had no temper. This time DeAndre Jordan did not dare to slack off when facing Yao Ming.
Facing Yao Ming, who had beaten him to death in the last game, this time he tried his best to defend him. Yao Ming faced DeAndre Jordan's defense in the low post, but DeAndre Jordan did not dare to slack off at all. Yao Ming played a post-up single.
DeAndre Jordan used his body to push hard, but Yao Ming is not a player who can only use his body to play. DeAndre Jordan used his body to push back and Yao Ming could not be restrained.
Yao Ming held the ball and shook it left and right. His shoulders were shaking. Jordan couldn't tell which way Yao Ming was going to turn. Yao Ming turned his back and opened up the space.
Yao Ming turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper. DeAndre Jordan stepped forward and tried to block Yao Ming. However, Yao Ming was tall, had long arms, and had a high release point. In addition, he was still leaning back. DeAndre Jordan was unable to interfere with Yao Ming's shot.
Yao Ming took action, and Griffin came out from the side to cover, but it was too late. Yao Ming flicked his wrist and the ball went in.
This time the goal was scored in one go, without any extra moves.
Yang Zhenxing sees all this and remembers it in his heart. Yao Ming is Yao Ming. Even though he is old, he is still Yao Ming.
The score on the court became 3 to 2. The Tigers were ahead by one point and it was now the Clippers' possession.
The Clippers quickly advanced into the frontcourt. When the Tigers were not yet stable, Nick Young passed the ball to Griffin. Griffin made a mid-range jumper. Griffin was very decisive with this shot. Now his mid-range jumper
Investment technology is getting better and better
It only took 5 seconds to score the goal. Yi Jianlian didn't keep up with him at all. There was no one in front of Griffin.
"Hurry up!" Phil Jackson shouted now that it was useless. The opponent had already made the ball.
Then the two sides entered the battle time. Yang Zhenxing broke through Nick Young and once again faced Griffin in the air and succeeded in a layup.
Looking back, of course Nick Young will not show weakness. When he reaches the three-point line, Yang Zhenxing has not yet settled down. Nick Young has already shot a three-pointer. This is a typical pull-up three-point jumper. Nick Young looks very similar this time.
Billups
Watching the two guards playing smoothly, McGrady, the team's key player, is also about to perform. Now that he is old, he can no longer stage scoring battles like before. McGrady plays very smart. He gets the ball in the low post.
Already out of position at this time, McGrady is not facing Butler this time, but Paul, who is one size smaller than Butler.
McGrady was about to play singles, but Paul was too short. When Butler saw something bad, he immediately followed up and switched defenses. McGrady faced Butler again. Butler's physical fitness was also good. The two were also old rivals.
The matchup is not just one or two. McGrady is taller than Butler. McGrady beats Butler. Butler is not so easy to beat. McGrady knows this in his heart.
Phil Jackson looked at the court, still expressionless
Yang Zhenxing did not move inside to look for opportunities, because he knew that in this position, even if McGrady could not grab the ball or even pull up, he would be sure of it. Marbury seemed very relaxed, and he came on the court immediately. He had to adjust to the best.
state
Butler sneered at McGrady in front of him, but McGrady still had no expression on his face.
McGrady played a post-up single, and Butler pushed hard with his body. McGrady immediately turned around, too fast. Unexpectedly, McGrady, who looked bloated and slow, was so fast. He passed Butler and Yang Zhenxing was a little bit
surprised
Butler was shaken away, McGrady was about to take action, but Butler immediately jumped up to block the shot.
Butler stayed in the air and was stunned for a moment: "It's broken, I got fooled again, that old guy Tracy McGrady"
McGrady didn't take action, but pretended to take action
After Butler was fooled, this is what McGrady wanted. McGrady made a layup.
The referee's whistle sounded
Butler was so upset that Paul came up and said softly to him: "Caron, it's okay, I'll take care of him later."
Paul looked at McGrady contemptuously. McGrady had already stepped to the free throw line. McGrady was still expressionless this time.
Phil Jackson nodded with satisfaction off the court
Marbury took off his training clothes and stood up. He replaced Iverson. Iverson's performance just now was average.
Marbury played well as soon as he came on the field and hit two goals in a row. The score was widened and the situation was firmly in the hands of the Tigers.
The Clippers then found the feeling. Nick Young hit two consecutive three-pointers. Although Nick Young is not yet a soul figure, after such a long period of training, he has become a trustworthy all-rounder for the team.
A whistle sounded to announce the end of the first quarter, and all players returned to the bench to rest. The two sides reached 26:21, with the Tigers leading by 5 points.
Just now, Marbury played well. Although he was not as eye-catching as Nick Young just now, he still showed his best sixth man style in the past. Marbury scored 6 points in most of the first quarter, and his performance was quite satisfactory.
Phil Jackson was as unhurried as ever, arranging tactics and encouraging players
Yao Ming walked up to Yang Zhenxing, "Come on, Xingxing, try to open up the score in the second quarter and pay attention to your opponent Nick Young, he is difficult to deal with now!"
Yang Zhenxing said confidently: "Don't worry!"
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Tigers' lineup was Iverson, Yang Zhenxing, Carter, O'Neal Jr., and Yao Ming.
Yang Zhenxing followed Nick Young fiercely. Yang Zhenxing stuck to him like a Tesco skin plaster. Nick Young couldn't get rid of Yang Zhenxing. The planet was still in Paul's hands. Nick Young couldn't catch the ball. Paul had no choice but to give the ball to Griffin.
Griffin was about to catch the ball and take a shot, but he was facing Yao Ming. How could Griffin get a shot so easily? Griffin passed the ball to Butler, and Butler cut in. Yang Zhenxing didn't dare to take a shot.
Relaxed, Butler still made a habit of taking action after receiving the ball.
Carter worked hard to block the shot. Butler's shot was very fast and he did not block the ball. But Carter was close to Butler, so his shot was awkward and the ball flew slowly in the air.
Dang! Missed! Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and passed it to Iverson. Then Yang Zhenxing received the pass from Iverson and faced Nick Yang with a three-pointer.
Brush! Yang Zhenxing started to show off his power and hit the three-pointer steadily.
The Tigers gradually took control of the situation. With Yao Ming's dunk, the score reached 8 points five minutes into the second quarter. The Clippers quickly requested a timeout.
After the timeout, Yi Jianlian replaced Yao Ming and Arenas replaced Iverson.
Not to be outdone, Paul came up with a forced layup and scored the ball against Arenas, but General Arenas couldn't let it go. He responded with a three-pointer. The score difference was 9 points. The Tigers still had the advantage.
Subsequently, Yi Jianlian's tough defense prevented Griffin and launched a counterattack. Arenas launched a fast break and the ball was given to Yang Zhenxing. Yang Zhenxing threw the ball into the sky. McGrady had a clear understanding and jumped up high. Boom! One shot.
Dunk against the basket
With a 10-point difference, the Clippers were about to collapse. The Tigers seized this opportunity. Yang Zhenxing hit a three-pointer and the score further widened. In the second half of the second quarter, the Tigers seized the advantage.
At the end, the score is 52:40, leading by 12 points. Entering the second half, if we continue like this, we will win this game and advance to the next round. It will not be a big problem.
In the second half, the Tigers firmly grasped the advantage. Although the Clippers had many spurts, someone from the Tigers would always step forward at the critical moment to seize the score. At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers pulled the score to
15 marks
Entering the fourth quarter with a huge advantage, at the beginning of the fourth quarter the Clippers lined up with the entire starting lineup with a 15-point deficit. The Tigers still cannot take it lightly.
Paul came up to steal Iverson's pass and launched a fast break. There was no one in front of Paul to defend him. Paul had worked up his energy this time. If he lost this game, he would miss the Western Conference Finals for the third consecutive year.
There was a good chance this year, but this year the Tigers suddenly emerged and came to the powerful Western Conference. Obviously it is not easy to get ahead.
Paul's dunk, yes, it was Paul's dunk! Paul's dunk with both hands, was this his last counterattack? Does the Clippers still have a chance? Can the Tigers advance directly at home?
