Chapter 203 Deadly Shooter
Tonight is a game of life and death, and all the pressure is on the Spurs side.

The Spurs led 2-0 in the away game at the beginning, then suffered two consecutive kills when they returned home, and were slaughtered again when they were away to the Clippers. Influence.

If it is another team, I am afraid that there is no hope.After all, the strength of the Clippers lies there, and it is slightly better.However, this is Popovich's Spurs. After two days of rest, the team has regained its previous self-confidence, preparing for the game with all its strength, and waiting for the Clippers' challenge.

The Clippers can get back a victory at home, and they can also defend their home court.For the menacing Clippers, there are enough preparations.

For tonight's game, the national ratings have already surpassed the average ratings of the finals, making it the well-deserved game that received the most attention besides the finals.

Whether it is the Spurs or the Clippers, tonight will be a historic game.If the Clippers win, it will not only break Paul's curse of not making it to the Western Conference Finals, but it will also be the Clippers' best result since the establishment of the team.

Under the influence of Popovich, the Spurs players let go of all their burdens and faced the battle of life and death tonight with the best mentality.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were quite satisfactory, and there were no too intense scenes.

To Ning Caichen's surprise, the Spurs changed the style of the previous few games.It has changed to a steady style of play, whether it is defensive strength or offensive impact, it looks like it has returned to the state of the regular season.

It wasn't until the end of the first quarter that Ning Caichen suddenly realized after seeing the technical statistics on the big screen.

The Spurs' seemingly conventional style of play has firmly controlled the rhythm of the game in their own hands.The Spurs didn't make a single turnover in the first quarter, while the Clippers had 2 turnovers.Although the score is not high, the success rate is as high as 90%.

The Spurs' performance in the first quarter seemed underwhelming, but every move of the basketball was under their control.With such a high success rate, but playing such a game with such intensity, it is clearly intentional.

Faced with the state of the Spurs, the Clippers players naturally relaxed a little, and even Ning Caichen almost fell into Popovich's way.

Leonard's seemingly desperate defense was only aimed at him, and the others only played in the regular season before they were in shape.

After seeing the statistics, Ning Caichen came to his senses. Popovich was playing tricks in his heart.I want to let the Clippers relax their vigilance, and then give a fatal blow at a critical moment.

"Hmph! As expected of Popovich, I'm still thinking about the sinister at this moment."

The Spurs deliberately brought the intensity of the game to the regular season level. After the Clippers players adapted, they launched a high-intensity counterattack in an instant, so that the other Clippers players would definitely not be able to react in a short time and were completely defeated. Press and beat.

Hearing the conversations of his teammates, and Rivers' arrangement of personnel, it was as he had guessed, and everyone had begun to relax.

"No, we can't sit here! Coach, I'm going to stay on the court."

After Ning Caichen heard Rivers' arrangement, he quickly made a decision.He must be on the court, because only he knows Popovich's strategy, and as long as he is on the court, he can crack the Spurs' tactics.

He is not sure when Popovich will change the lineup. If he is not on the court, even 2 minutes is enough for the Spurs to start.

The series must end tonight. He doesn't want to go to Game [-] and face the Warriors with scars.

Everyone looked at Ning Caichen.

Paul frowned after hearing this, and based on what he knew about Ning Caichen, he might have thought something else.

"Ning, you don't need a few main players for the current game. You should buy more time to rest." Rivers looked at Ning Caichen and said.

Rivers now gives Ning Caichen enough respect, he doesn't shout like before, and doesn't take Ning Caichen's opinion seriously at all.

"No, I have my plan. You let Paul and the others rest, and I will be on the court with a substitute lineup. This is safer."

Seeing Ning Caichen's persistence, Rivers no longer struggled, and continued to let Ning Caichen stay on the court.

With a big wave of Rivers' hand, the Clippers' substitute players walked onto the court.

Seeing Ning Caichen play, Popovich quickly replaced Ginobili.

Seeing Popovich's move, Ning Caichen narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Ginobili's starting game in the first quarter made him very puzzled. Now that he saw his strategy, he didn't take Ginobili's brains of the Spurs to heart.Compared with Ginobili's commanding ability on the court, he is still far behind, not in the same order at all.

Sure enough, the Spurs still maintained the rhythm of the first quarter.Under the unhurried rhythm, it maintains a very amazing efficiency.And all the tactical control is performed by Ginobili.

Leonard's is once again going all out to get entangled with Ning Caichen.Ning Caichen gained experience in the first quarter, and while entangled with him, he also put part of his energy on other Spurs players.

After 2 minutes of the game, Ning Caichen finally made a move.

"Hmph! Do you think your plan will succeed?"

Leonard, who was working hard to defend, was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't understand what Ning Caichen meant.

During this moment of stupefaction, Ning Caichen's foot speed changed, and he passed Leonard with a dribble under his crotch. After just one step past the free throw line, he jumped up vigorously, held the ball with one hand, and dunked the ball hard. into the basket.

"boom!!"

With the sound of heavy impact, Leonard's thoughts were pulled back again.

Ginobili quickly dribbled the ball forward. At this time, Ning Caichen staggered Leonard and directly defended Ginobili.

Ginobili was taken aback when he saw Ning Caichen.How did this guy come to guard against me?I didn't do anything out of the ordinary?He has been passing the ball to his teammates peacefully all the time, why is he being targeted again?
After seeing Ning Caichen's actions, Popovich frowned, and a bad feeling came to his heart.

"Tsk tsk! You played well in the first quarter! You almost fell for it. However, you have no chance, show your strength! Stop thinking about tactics." Ning Caichen grinned and watched Ginobili.

Ginobili was shocked when he heard this, looked at Ning Caichen, and couldn't help being rude.

This Ning Caichen is too perverted. Their tactics are so secretive that they can still be discovered. This is simply inhuman.

Ginobili didn't believe in evil, and continued to implement Popovich's tactical arrangements as if nothing had happened, deliberately avoiding a direct confrontation with Ning Caichen.

The rhythm of the main players in the first quarter was deviated by the Spurs, so the substitute players are absolutely not allowed to fall into their trap.

Ning Caichen whistled at the players, and his teammates reacted instantly and quickly started running on the court.And Crawford went directly from the inside to the outside, always keeping a distance of about three meters from Ning Caichen.

This is Ning Caichen's double point guard tactic after the change, and he will only use this tactic when he is with substitute players and Crawford is there.The core of tactics is him and Crawford.

Dual point guards show tactics.

Now the Spurs' defensive strength is most suitable for exhibition games.Moreover, it can also make the players completely excited, and will not let the Spurs go with the rhythm.

"Since you guys want to continue playing like this, then don't blame me for being rude." Ning Caichen sneered when he was entangled with Leonard with a basketball.

A superstar is the most difficult to play when he is willing to share the ball.

Leonard tried his best to keep Ning Caichen outside the free throw line, making it impossible for Ning Caichen to make an inch.Just when he was proud, the ball in Ning Caichen's hand flew up from behind him strangely, and then flew towards the other side.

Crawford has been preparing for a long time. After receiving the ball, he changed hands behind the back, and then cheated Ginobili with a false pass, and finally successfully threw the ball into the basket.

A wonderful cooperation by the Clippers, coupled with Crawford's wonderful extraordinary action, made the Spurs fans at the scene enjoyable.

"Oh my god! This pass, this dribble, is definitely a top five goal!"

"I found that tonight's game looked like a regular game, it didn't feel like a life-and-death battle at all."

"Come on, don't talk nonsense upstairs who don't understand the ball. Didn't you see how terrifying the duel between Leonard and Ning Caichen was?"

"That is to say, in the first quarter, the two teams were fighting with two people, and the other players were playing. However, the second quarter seems to be a little different."

With the cooperation of Ning Caichen and Crawford, the Clippers continued to play beautiful offenses.Although the Spurs also counterattacked, the Spurs were slightly passive when compared between the two sides.

Ning Caichen counterattacked very quickly. After the Spurs scored, he immediately passed the ball.The speed under his feet was like the wind, and the speed had almost reached the limit. Even Leonard did not dare to confront Ning Caichen head-on at this time.

At this time, the Spurs hadn't finished retreating inside, and Ning Caichen had already rushed into the three-point line.

Leonard looked like a formidable enemy was approaching, but Ning Caichen was too fast, if he wanted to keep up, it would definitely be a foul.Gritting her teeth, she retracted her hands and put them on her thighs, waiting for Ning Caichen to bump into her.

Ning Caichen reacted extremely quickly. At the moment Leonard stood still, he paused quickly with his left foot, turned around 360 degrees to avoid a head-on collision with Leonard, then received the ball and started a three-step layup. Then there was another heavy kick.

The scene was amazed once again, it was so fierce!
Ning Caichen made a counterattack, and it took less than 5 seconds from receiving the ball from the baseline to scoring.No one can beat this speed.

The Clippers players rushed up excitedly, excited for Ning Caichen.

The Clippers once again overtook the score.

At this time, Popovich had no intention of timeout. It was not until Ning Caichen changed his tactics again and hit two consecutive three-pointers under the pass of Crawford that he had to call a timeout. .

Ning Caichen stopped the Spurs with his own power, especially the last two three-pointers, which showed his true qualities as a killer, and directly cracked Popovich's tactics.

After a few minutes of coquettish performance by Ning Caichen, the Clippers players slowly recovered to the state of the previous game.
