With only 43.3 seconds left, **Vicci called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan replaced Hawes in an attempt to enhance the team's ability to compete for rebounds.
Although DeAndre Jordan's "stability" under the basket has always been criticized, that is, he likes to jump too much, but at least his height is there, so Doc Reeves still chooses to believe in him.
Kawhi Leonard served the ball from the sideline, and Chen Feng ran back and forth a few times before receiving the ball from the sideline.
Chen Feng wandered around the top of the arc, carefully looking for opportunities. Suddenly, Chen Feng's eyes lit up and he quickly passed the ball through.
Kawhi Leonard, who cut in from the wing, received the ball, quickly rushed to the basket, roared, then dunked with both hands, and also caused a foul on Blake Griffin.
"Yeah!" The Spurs bench cheered, and the Spurs fans who came to watch the game at the Clippers' home court also stood up excitedly, clapped with both hands, and shouted the slogan "Go Spurs!"
Even some die-hard old fans screamed after seeing Chen Feng assist Kawhi Leonard for a dunk to tie the score.
Kawhi Leonard excitedly high-fived every teammate in celebration.
After it was over, Kawhi Leonard went to the free throw line. "Whoosh", extra free throw, and the ball went in.
100:99, the Spurs once again overtook the score.
This game was full of ups and downs, with the score rising alternately. When one layer of suspense ended, another layer of suspense suddenly emerged.
Although this game is not the thrilling finals battle of last season, it is indeed exciting.
After the Clippers launched a counterattack, Chen Feng immediately assisted Kawhi Leonard for a dunk, and also caused a defensive foul on Jordan.
With Kawhi Leonard's two plus one, the Spurs finally took the lead again.
Now, the score on the court is 100:99. The Spurs lead by 1 point.
Kawhi Leonard, who helped the team achieve a comeback, roared and pounded his strong chest with his fists.
Seeing that the score was overtaken again, Clippers head coach Doc Reeves also called a timeout and prepared to arrange the final tactics.
With only 34.2 seconds left, the Clippers must deploy a beautiful tactic. Not only must they score this last attack, but they must also defend the Spurs' subsequent counterattack.
The fans at the scene watched this game nervously. The excitement of the game exceeded their imagination. They even watched this game as a playoff game. Although this game is the home court of the Clippers
, but fans in Los Angeles also admire the Spurs' tenacity, especially China Chen, who has only been in the NBA for a few years but is already one of the strongest players in the league.
The timeout soon ended and the game continued.
The Spurs' defense was very tenacious. Especially Chen Feng, who stayed close to Chris Paul and did not give him a chance to catch the ball.
After a long circle, coupled with Blake Griffin's screen, Chris Paul finally pulled near the center circle and received the sideline ball.
After CP3 received the ball, he did not start attacking immediately. Instead, he slowly consumed time. He wanted to use up the time before attacking again, leaving a very short time for the Spurs to arrange the final attack.
Chen Feng had no chance to wipe the sweat from his face. He concentrated all his attention on Paul.
In the process of defending Paul, Chen Feng did not rush to steal. Paul is not an ordinary point guard. If he rushes to steal, it is very likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity. What's more, now is the most important thing in the game.
There is no room for carelessness at all times.
When there were only six seconds left in the Clippers' attack time, Chris Paul made consecutive cross-steps and immediately started a breakthrough.
Chen Feng clung to Chris Paul. He had already tried his best. It is estimated that after this game, he did not have much physical strength left.
CP3 not only has speed but also body, so when Chen Feng defends him, he is under great pressure.
However, Chris Paul is not having it easy, but he has the advantage of entering the NBA a few years earlier than Chen Feng, so he has more experience and last-minute decision-making ability than Chen Feng.
Although Chen Feng has already had several seasons of experience, it is impossible for him to gain more experience than a player like Chris Paul in such a short period of time.
Chris Paul turned around and leaned back. But just as he stood on tiptoes, he suddenly passed the ball.
After Blake Griffin caught the ball under the basket, he turned around and leaned back with one foot.
With a "swish" sound, Blake Griffin also showed his strength at this time.
101:100, the Clippers took control of the entire game again.
After the Clippers succeeded in attacking, Vicki directly requested a timeout. Now they have the last timeout left, so calling a timeout at this time is very timely.
The 20-second pause almost passed in the blink of an eye. After Chen Feng struggled to catch Tim Duncan's sideline serve, he slowly organized the team's offense.
Chris Paul pressed closely to defend Chen Feng throughout the game, and from time to time he would reach out to steal Chen Feng's ball. However, he was very careful when grabbing the ball. Even if he did not succeed in grabbing the ball, he would not be caught by the opponent.
Be prepared to seize opportunities for breakthroughs.
Holding the ball and wandering around the top of the arc, Chen Feng first handed the ball to Tony Parker. Tony Parker then passed the ball to Kawhi Leonard, who feinted twice and then passed the ball again.
Returned to Chen Feng's hands.
There are now only 8 seconds left before the end of the game, and this time is also the last time of the game.
The Clippers are defending with all their strength at the moment. As long as they can prevent this goal, the victory of this game will be theirs.
Chen Feng reached out to stop Chris Paul from stealing the ball, and then glanced. Tony Parker quickly came over and made a pick-and-roll. Chen Feng quickly started and used Tony Parker's body to get rid of Chris Paul's defense.
But the Clippers changed defense very quickly. As soon as they got rid of Chris Paul, Chen Feng had Redick in front of him. Although the opponent's defense was not very good, Chen Feng did not dare to underestimate him.
To be on the safe side, Chen Feng still lobbed the ball inside.
5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds...
Derrick Favors turned and shook, then passed the ball to Tim Duncan.
With a "bang" sound, Tim Duncan roared and poured the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Wow..." The whole audience was in an uproar.
The home fans sighed, while the Spurs fans roared with excitement.
With Tim Duncan's dunk, the Spurs successfully brought the score back.
102:101.
However, the game is not over yet, and the Clippers still have 0.8 seconds to make the final counterattack.
Although the time is quite short, it is definitely possible for the Clippers to defeat the Spurs.
‘Old Fish’ Fisher had a 0.4-second buzzer-beater against the Spurs, while ‘Yellow Mamba’ Brandon Roy had a 0.8-second buzzer-beater against the Houston Rockets.
Therefore, even though they are now 1 point behind their opponents and the time is only 0.8 seconds left, the Clippers and the home fans have not given up.
Doc Reeves called the team's final timeout, in which he had to decide who would take the final shot.
The Spurs also know that the game is not over yet, and they have not yet pocketed the victory.
During the timeout, **Vicci seriously deployed a tight defense.
Soon, the timeout ended and the main players of both teams came on the court.
The referee on the sideline handed the ball to Matt Barnes, who held the ball high and looked for his teammates.
The Spurs players all stuck closely to the Clippers players, not giving them a chance to catch the ball.
Just when the Clippers were about to commit a five-second serve violation, Chris Paul jumped high and caught the ball from Chen Feng's head.
Then, Chris Paul, who had just received the ball, jumped up and forced a three-pointer.
Chen Feng had long imagined in his mind how Chris Paul would attack, but he did not expect that Paul would actually choose to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.
After all, the Clippers are only 1 point behind now. If they hit a two-pointer, the success rate is relatively higher.
However, the Clippers did not do this and chose to play three-pointers.
Therefore, when Chris Paul took action, Chen Feng was a little slower. Even so, Chen Feng still tried his best to pounce.
However, Chris Paul's jumping height was a bit high and his shot was quite fast, so Chen Feng was not able to block it.
Therefore, Chen Feng could only watch the ball fly towards the basket.
And just when Chris Paul threw the ball, the buzzer sounded at the end of the game.
Everyone in Staples Arena held their breath, and people's heartbeats could be heard clearly even at this time.
"Clang", this voice broke the silence of the audience.
"Huh", seeing that the goal did not go in, Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the Spurs team cheered, and some Spurs fans who came to the Staples Center to watch the game were even more excited, shouting Chen Feng's name loudly.
The Clippers' Chris Paul and others all had a trace of bitterness on their faces, especially Chris Paul. At the most critical moment, he failed to hit the last buzzer-beater, which made him very helpless.
At 102:101, with the Spurs' main power forward Tim Duncan's last-minute two-pointer, the Spurs won the game and successfully got a good start to the new season.
Although the home team lost the game, the Los Angeles fans still stood up. They not only cheered for the home team, but also applauded the visiting team's wonderful performance.
Although the Spurs are their opponents, they are also very grateful to the Spurs for giving them a wonderful game.
