"Get moving! Let's take the ball! Cassel waved vigorously at the players from the sidelines.

Tang Shuai dribbled the ball forward and Beverley defended in front of him.

“defense！”

The cheers at the scene were deafening, perhaps the suspense of the game began to rise, and the fans began to be nervous uncontrollably.

"Bag clip! Bag clip! Bickerstaff shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Harden directly gave up his defensive Brewer and ran towards Harden, who had not yet reached the three-point line.

This move was used quite a lot by the Rockets in the opening, and it was also a good way to limit Tang Shuai's scoring.

When Tang Shuai saw this scene, he immediately beckoned to Brewer.

Brewer sped up to the outside.

Tang Shuai also accelerated and ran towards him.

The four met one step outside the three-point line, followed by a burst of entanglement, Brewer wanted to block Harden, Tang Shuai wanted to block and remove the bag, and the scene looked chaotic.

The hearts of the fans at the scene were hanging in their throats, and their eyes looked at the few people who were fighting without blinking.

Tang Shuai's dribbling bag helped him at a critical moment, although Alston's dribbling was fancy, but I have to say that his ability to control the ball was superb, he sent the ball behind his back at this time, and then followed by the other hand to hold the ball, and turned around, at this time, Brewer was in the way, and he dribbled the ball directly from the pile.

"Beautiful!" Barkley in the commentary seat shouted!

This ball is extremely freehand and full of elegance.

After Tang Shuai finally got rid of the bag, he didn't stop for a second, and directly accelerated and rushed to the basket.

Morris, who was on the inside, saw this scene and directly caught up with him and wanted to hit him again.

This time, Tang Shuai was obviously prepared and saw his movements. Suddenly changed direction, and then the person was like a spinning top, with Morris as the axis, and turned directly around, and then took advantage of the situation to make a low-handed layup.

Just then, Howard rushed over as well. Reach out and cover it.

Tang Shuai gritted his teeth, lowered the point of the ball a little, and then bumped into Howard with his body.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, although he had purple power wrapped around his body, but Howard's body was not talking, he was directly knocked out and flew out, his chest hurt, and he almost didn't catch it in one breath.

However, before being knocked off, he still threw the ball out according to his feelings.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle sounded on the sidelines.

Howard's blocking foul!

Howard heard the whistle. Holding his head helplessly, he looked up at the score on the scoreboard.

"Are you alright?" Green quickly rushed over to pick him up.

"Ahem......" Tang Shuai coughed violently, and finally smoothed out the breath, and shook his head.

Green helped him, and he took a few deep breaths in quick succession.

"Can you take a free throw?" At this moment, the referee saw that he had not moved and came over to ask.

"Yes, no problem." It was a hard bump just now. That's basically no problem.

The referee nodded, and then went to the bottom line with the ball.

Tang Shuai also took away Green's hand that was helping him. Then he walked to the free throw line.

The referee made a "1" gesture to him, and he was stunned for a moment, the goal just went in?

He looked up at the score, 91-89, and the difference had become 2 points.

"Damn!" He couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he didn't expect that kind of ball would go in.

He said this foul language. The players who were standing on both sides and were about to grab the rebounds gave him a suspicious look.

"Ready?" The referee on the bottom line asked him.

He came back to his senses and nodded.

Getting the ball, he took a deep breath.

If the ball is a free throw, the margin will become 1 point, and the team's hopes of winning will increase exponentially.

He took another deep breath. Then pick up the ball.

In front of him was a crowd of disturbances, holding the air stick in his hand and slapping constantly, and even a fat man kept shaking his fat body to interfere with his free throw vision as much as possible.

He focused his gaze on the basket and threw the ball out.

"Rebound! Backboard! Bickerstaff shouted.

"Bang!"

After all, it's just a green free throw package, after all, he has been playing for more than an hour, after all, it is such a critical moment, Tang Shuai's free throw jumped out of the basket.

Howard under the basket stuck Jordan Jr.'s position, and Morris jumped up and grabbed the rebound into his arms.

Ball possession of the Rockets!

Tang Shuai was a little dazed, he didn't expect such a critical free throw to be missed!

"Retreat! Retreat! ”

At this moment, Pierce saw that he was stunned and yelled at him.

He snapped back to his senses, and then retreated.

The Rockets' offense, Harden broke through quickly, Europe strode past the defense, and he was about to go to the basket, and the defensive Brewer pulled him down without saying a word.

Knowing that Harden is a player who is good at creating 2+1, Brewer pulled down more ruthlessly, directly dragging and dragging, and didn't give a chance at all.

This made Harden angry, and after standing firm, he pushed Brewer directly, and Brewer also responded by pulling Harden's collar a few times, and his former teammates were about to fight.

Fortunately, the referee immediately ran to the scene and reached out to pull the two to forcibly separate, which did not further escalate the conflict, but Harden kept spraying something, obviously caring about the foul just now.

This is also a normal thing, there are so many physical confrontations in the game, it is very rare not to play until now.

The referee frowned, looking ready for a technical foul.

Beverley rushed up to grab Harden at this time, then stretched out his finger and pointed to the scoreboard above the blue shelf, telling him that the team still had a score lead, and Harden stopped complaining.

The referee saw that Harden didn't complain anymore, so he didn't make any more moves, but took the ball and walked to the bottom line.

Harden walks to the free-throw line.

The shouts of "MVP" suddenly rang out at the scene.

Harden has contributed a team-high 30 points on 6-of-17 shooting and 14-of-15 free throws in this game, and if the Rockets win, he will be the absolute hero of the team's victory.

Harden hit both free throws steadily. Extended the lead to four points with less than two minutes left in the game.

Both sides knew that every point was crucial, so they did their best on the defensive end, and both teams failed to attack twice each.

The Rockets' offense, Harden chose a step-back jumper in the face of a double package, and the ball spun around the basket before spinning out. caused an uproar among the fans at the scene.

Cassel called a timeout.

With 37 seconds left in the game, the score was 93-89 and the Rockets still had a four-point lead.

When the Rockets players got off the court, they received warm applause from the audience, as long as the Rockets did not make mistakes, there was a chance that this game would be the Rockets.

'We need to play a quick two-pointer and then defend the next shot and don't foul because we still have time. We also have a short pause! As soon as the Clippers players came off the court, Cassel spoke directly.

"Don, you hit the next ball, no matter what, you must score the ball." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Tang Shuai, who was panting.

Tang Shuai didn't score in the first two rounds, his physical strength was close to the limit, and the Rockets' defensive pressure on him not only did not decrease, but became stronger and stronger.

"This is how we fight ......"

"Coach. Let me hit the next ball. Cassel was about to set it up when Pierce, who was on the side, suddenly spoke.

Pierce's words stunned everyone else. Including Kassel, they all looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"Don has a lot of physical exertion, and he's the center of gravity for the Rockets' defense, so he has a lot of traction." Pierce said lightly.

Kassel hesitated for a moment, then turned to Tang Shuai and said, "What do you think?" ”

Tang Shuai nodded without thinking about it: "No problem, Paul has this ability." ”

Pierce though old. But the key ball ability has not weakened at all, and when he was with the Wizards last year, he hit 2 killer shots in the playoffs.

"Okay, let's play like this, Don holds the ball and contains. Corey, you're here to make a pick-and-roll for Paul, Jeff ...... "Cassel also simply laid out the tactics directly.

The timeout came back to the Clippers' offense.

“defense！ defense！ ”

The cheers of the crowd were deafening, and the fans in the stadium had already risen from their seats, cheering hoarsely for the home team, and the Rockets would have won the victory if they defended the ball.

Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, and Beverley's top defense immediately came up.

This time, the Rockets did not choose to wrap up, but chose to defend a 3-2 joint defense, with a very obvious intention, not to give Tang Shuai space to break through, and to use Beverley to top Tang Shuai, and not to let him have an easy three-point shot.

Tang Shuai knew that there was not much time, so he didn't hesitate, and after a cross-step, he used the rhythm change to pass Beverly and rushed in.

The Rockets' interior defense immediately shrank, and Beverley also turned around and pounced, ready to pinch his offense.

The first two balls Tang Shuai shot in this situation, and they were a little worse in the end.

But this time, he was obviously not ready to attack again, he didn't even look at it, and just threw the ball in the direction of the right rear with a quick flick.

With a bang, the basketball hit the floor with a muffled sound, and with a smack of the ball, the ball flew accurately to the right wing at a 45-degree angle to the three-point line, where Pierce had just run to Green's pick-and-roll.

There was an uproar at the scene, perhaps even the fans didn't expect that Tang Shuai chose to pass the ball for the most critical goal!

You must know that in the previous game, Tang Shuai scored a team-high 36 points on 16-of-26 shooting, according to the general understanding, this last ball was attacked by himself no matter what, but he didn't expect to choose to pass the ball at the last moment.

Pierce catches the ball and is ready to shoot.

Just then, the nearest Ariza forced his way out.

Pierce didn't panic at all, and with a slight touch, he dribbled the ball to the right.

Ariza was directly sent out by him.

He followed and pulled out his hand.

Time froze at this moment, the fans had forgotten about the interference, and Pierce was too calm.

The basketball flew out of Pierce's hand, drew a standard parabola, and went straight down.
