"The Clippers are more resilient than we thought."

"Yes, I thought they were going to collapse in the first half of the game, but I didn't expect them to be able to last until this point."

……

Several commentators sitting in the commentary booth chatted while watching the game.

The game has now progressed to the 6th minute and 46th second of the fourth quarter. The score on the field is 98:100. The Suns are leading, but the leading advantage is not obvious.

After Stoudemire fouled off the field in the first quarter, Ling Yang's cuts, breakthroughs, and counterattacks failed the Clippers' Mike Dunleavy's defensive arrangement.

And then, under the leadership of Nash, the Suns, except for Ling Yang, also began to enter the state.

After the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 24:29, with the Suns leading by 5 points.

After entering the second quarter, Stoudemire returned to the court. The Suns had more offensive points and were more threatening. The point difference between the two sides once widened to 12 points.

Just when everyone thought that the Clippers were very likely to collapse, the Clippers showed their fighting spirit.

With a 10:0 spurt, the Clippers regained the score.

At the end of the first half, the two sides fought to a 55:55 tie.

The Clippers' good offensive state in this quarter allowed them to score 31 points in a single quarter.

After entering the second half of the game, the Clippers still couldn't do a good job of restricting the Suns' offense, but they once again showed their determination and fought a bayonet on the offensive end to see their popularity.

Brand's various strong attacks, Cassell and Mobley's three-pointers, and even Maggette, who was marked by Ling Yang in this series, scored frequently in these two quarters, showing that he is ready. All-star offensive prowess.

87:87, after three quarters, the two sides drew again.

Entering the final quarter of the game, the offensive efficiency of the two teams dropped slightly. After this half of the game, the scores of the two teams were not high.

Up to now, it has become more and more stalemate.

At this moment, the Clippers attacked again.

Kaman mentioned the high post and Cassell playing pick-and-roll screens, and it was the two weakest defensive points in the Suns starting lineup, Nash and Stoudemire.

Stoudemire has a certain degree of defensive enthusiasm in these two games, but since entering the league, he has not paid much attention to defense, so he does not have enough experience and skills.

After Nash was blocked, Kassel broke through with the ball, and Stoudemire flashed out to change defenses, but Kassel lost his position after a feint.

However, Stoudemire's physical fitness is indeed excellent. Although he is out of position, he can still follow Kassel's body.

Cassell did not blindly rush forward to challenge the basket, but slowed down slightly at this time.

This made Marion, who was about to step forward to help defend, stop immediately. He was a little worried that if he was too active in helping defend, Brand would be vacated instead.

Here, Cassel led Stoudemire to move towards the inside, and on the other side, Kaman, who was stuck and slow, also moved towards the basket.

His speed is indeed not fast, so even though Cassel has slowed down the pace, Kaman is still a step behind.

However, such a distance is just convenient for Cassel to pass the ball.

.... Cassel rushed into the penalty area with Stoudemire, and then made a through ball to Kaman who followed up.

Kaman's movement frequency was indeed not fast, which gave Stoudemire time to react.

Stoudemire turned around quickly, saw Kaman raising the ball to attack, and immediately jumped up to defend.

Unexpectedly, even so, Kaman still took off half a beat behind.

"No!"

With Kaman jumping behind and Stoudemire colliding in the air...

"drop!

"

The referee's whistle rang directly.

Defensive foul.

Stoudemire was stunned when he heard the whistle, and then rushed directly to the referee.

However, to no avail.

This is 06, and the challenge rules haven't appeared yet.

The referee never easily changed the result of his calls on the field, not to mention that the two had physical contact with the ball, and Stoudemire took off first.

There is nothing wrong with the referee's penalty in itself.

However, Stoudemire was still unwilling to try to find the referee theory.

Because once the penalty is confirmed, he will be sent off with six fouls and will be sent off directly.

After getting off the field with two fouls early in the first quarter, Stoudemire intentionally controlled his fouls, but faced the Clippers' intentional tactical arrangements, he still couldn't control them well.

Mike Dunleavy has even sacrificed part of the defense in order to play Kaman and increase the threat in the penalty area.

So in this game, Kaman had a lot of opportunities to get the ball inside.

In the first half of the second quarter, Ling Yang was able to make up defense together.

But later, as Maggette also opened up this point, Ling Yang was a little bit scruples in assisting defense, and Stoudemire did have shortcomings in defense, which led to such an ending .

"The referee upheld the original verdict, Amare Stoudemire left the field with 6 fouls, and the Suns sent center Kurt Thomas..."

Stoudemire walked to the sidelines with some annoyance, but the Suns players on the field ignored him. Ling Yang, who was standing outside the free throw line and was waiting for Kaman to make a free throw, felt that such a substitution Not necessarily a bad thing.

The Clippers played very well offensively throughout the game today, but with the high-intensity game, the offensive efficiency has declined in the fourth quarter.

At this time, if the Suns can strengthen their defensive strength, it is very likely to make the Clippers very uncomfortable.

And to strengthen the defensive strength, the partner lineup of Ling Yang, Bell, Marion, and Thomas is undoubtedly the best among the Suns' existing lineups.

Just when Ling Yang was thinking, Kaman made two free throws.

100:100, the two sides drew again.

The Suns launched an offense, and Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, adhering to the rhythm of a fast offense, and directly played a pick-and-roll with Thomas.

Nash rushed into the three-point line, and immediately, the ball was handed over to Thomas, who was high and empty.

Kaman knew that Thomas was not good at holding the ball, so the defense still liked to pounce.

Seeing Kaman's active defense, Ling Yang rushed to the basket immediately.

"boom!

"

Thomas' shot really bounced out of the basket under the influence of Kaman.

….Ling Yang, who had just rushed into the lane, took the first step and snatched the rebound from Brand's head.

"Ling got his 9th personal rebound. The offensive efficiency of both sides is good today, so there are not many rebounds. Ling's 9 rebounds are already the highest in the game!

The Suns got a second chance to attack, how to play this ball...

Ling himself attacked! "

Grabbing the offensive rebound, Ling Yang took a step out, just when the Clippers thought Ling Yang was going to hand the ball to Nash, Ling Yang attacked by himself.

Ling Yang just rushed out of the three-second zone with the ball, and then made another half-turn suddenly, stuck Maggette behind him, and then rushed back to the penalty area with the dribble.

Brand, who was in the penalty area, immediately moved forward to help defend, and flanked with Maggette.

For this ball, Ling Yang didn't have enough space to break through or take off, so he didn't try to attack directly.

With one arm stuck in Maggette's position, Ling Xiang easily grabbed the basketball with his dribbled right hand while stepping into the three-second zone.

Immediately, he jumped up half a step forward, raised the ball with his right hand to meet Brand's defense, and threw the ball to the basket with a small throw.

In front of Ling Yang, Brand didn't expect Ling Yang to make this move, and when he reacted, Ling Yang had already thrown the ball.

Brand jumped up to try to block the shot, but was still half a step too late.

The basketball crossed an arc, jumped over Brand's fingertips, and fell straight into the basket.

100:102, the Suns took the lead again.

"Good shot! After grabbing the offensive rebound, Ling made a layup in a pinch between the two!

"

"Ling played the ball very cleverly. It looks very easy, but the difficulty is not small." After Barkley finished speaking, Kenny Smith immediately echoed:

"That's right. After Ling dribbled and threw the ball, he didn't join the ball. Instead, he used his big palm to take the ball with one hand and complete the throw without giving the opponent defense time to react..."

The three commentators on the sidelines boasted a lot. At this time, Ling Yang had quickly retreated into the half court.

Compared with using his own big hands to attack, Ling Yang now wants to use his own big hands to complete the defense.

The Clippers are too determined on the offensive end today, even Ling Yang's defense is difficult to be effective in the previous two quarters.

But now, the Clippers are obviously at the end of their strength, and the Suns are on the most defensive lineup. Ling Yang feels that he should be able to defend well.

Cassell controlled the ball until half court, and did not try to play a pick-and-roll with Kaman. He already knew that Thomas was different from Stoudemire in terms of defense. Kaman may not have a good chance under Thomas' defense. .

Therefore, Cassel chose to hand the ball to Mobley who responded after running, and then Cassel squeezed Nash and fell to the low post to ask for the ball.

Cassell hit Nash with his back, still looking for the weakest point on the Sun's side.

On the Sun's side, Thomas, Marion, and Ling Yang are also quietly moving towards the inside, preparing to help defend against flanking attacks at any time.

Cassel squeezed Nash with his back and walked towards the penalty area, while observing the positions of the defensive players on the Suns side.

…and then at some point, he made a sudden turn, stuck Nash behind him, and dribbled toward the hoop.

The defensive rotation on the Sun's side immediately started. Thomas, who was closest, left Kaman to defend Kassel, and Marion, who was defending Brand on the baseline, moved towards Kaman.

At the same time, Ling Yang, who was defending Maggette at a 45-degree angle, moved towards Brand.

The three of them all took the opportunity to fill in for their teammates.

Cassel is breaking through with the dribble, but he, who has rich experience and a good view of the overall situation, also sees the movement of several defensive players on the Sun's side.

Continuing to dribble forward, Cassell plunged into Thomas' arms.

At the same time, there was a hint of cunning in Cassel's eyes. Taking advantage of Thomas' opportunity to block his sight, the ball in his hand was thrown out suddenly, but it was not thrown towards Kaman or Bu, who might get open at a closer distance. Rand.

It was a long throw, and the ball was thrown directly from the three-second zone to Maggette outside the three-point line.

"You are all filling in for your teammates, so who will fill in for Ling Yang?"

While throwing the basketball out, a thought flashed through Cassel's heart.

After the second quarter, Maggette's offensive state obviously recovered. In the two quarters, he made four three-pointers and hit three of them. One even hit against Ling Yang's defense.

Cassell believes that Maggette still has a good offensive touch at the moment.

Just get the ball into the opponent's hands.

However, after Kassel passed the ball, he was completely stuck in Thomas's arms and his sight was blocked, but he didn't see it. At the same time he threw the ball, Ling Yang who was approaching Brand Suddenly turned around, and flew back towards Maggette!

Although Ling Yang, who was highly focused on defense, was approaching Brand, he never guarded against Maggette's defense.

In other words, he was ready to hand the ball to Maggette at any time.

Therefore, when he saw that the basketball flew out of Cassell's hand and the direction was not Brand, he was prepared and immediately stopped and rushed back towards Maggette.

In terms of speed, even if Ling Yang's speed is extremely fast, naturally it cannot compare with the speed of the ball.

However, the shorter distance coupled with Ling Yang's excellent explosive power allowed him to complete the defense.

Ling Yang rushed back a step in front of Maggette. At this moment, the basketball was still flying behind his body.

"Whoosh!"

With the soles of his feet kicking heavily towards the floor, Ling Yang leaped forward high, and at the moment when the basketball passed by, he happened to grab the basketball with both hands!

"Nice tackle!

!The volley intercepted the Clippers' pass!

!

Fight back!

! ”

"coax!

! ”

"GO! GO!"

As Ling Yang jumped forward after landing, and rushed directly to Maggette's side, the scene immediately burst into cheers and cheers!

And amidst such cheers, Ling Yang didn't give Maggette a chance to defend at all, and rushed to the other half with the ball.

"Ling throws off the defender and counterattacks!

!he came!

!

Bang!!! Beautiful gliding snap!

!

Ling... Yang!

!

"

At this moment, McCaw Yin completely turned into a live DJ, shouting excitedly and excitedly!

"100:104, the Suns lead by 4 points again!

And, the sun looks like it's about to rise!

! ”

"Suns!! Suns!!"

At this moment, the Suns' home stadium was fully on the rise, and huge shouts and cheers resounded throughout the arena.

And amid such shouts, the defensive fighting spirit of everyone in Sun was fully mobilized!

Withstood these few minutes, you can win this series, this belief is lingering in every player's mind.

As a result, the Clippers players soon discovered that they encountered a completely different defensive intensity than before.

The basketball was transmitted in the hands of several players, but no one had a good chance to attack. In the end, the ball was handed over to Cassel.

Forcibly attacking, Cassel has no choice at this time, but can only choose to attack Nash by force.

It's just that he soon discovered that Ling Yang's defense assistance has arrived!
