Chapter 182
Ning Caichen started his personal singles, and it was still in the runaway mode.

It was unexpected for Ning Caichen to fight alone.You know, this is the playoffs, every ball is very important, and the playoffs are absolutely not allowed to fight alone.

After seeing Ning Caichen's success in several singles, Popovich stood on top and kept scratching his beard.We must find a way to stop Ning Caichen's rampage. Now under Ning Caichen's force, the Spurs' formation is a bit out of shape, and they have missed people several times.

On the other hand, Rivers has a dark face.He is very unsupportive of Ning Caichen's recklessness. The team obviously cooperated very well, and they have been entangled with the Spurs all the time, waiting for the Spurs to make mistakes.

This is the playoffs, not the regular season.At this time, Ning Caichen chose to go it alone, and did not put the interests of the team first. If he hadn't seen that Ning Caichen's success rate was not bad, he would immediately replace Ning Caichen and calm down .

"Ning, the ball!!"

As soon as Paul grabbed the rebound, he found Ning Caichen immediately.

Ning Caichen rushed forward with the ball, and his speed did not decrease in the face of Leonard's strong defense.

After swaying left and right, he took Leonard and quickly ran to the penalty area.It's just going back and forth, and the speed slows down.

After hearing Paul's shout, Ning Caichen backhanded the ball towards the baseline.

Under Griffin's pick-and-roll, Paul made a layup from the basket.

The score gap narrowed to 4 points.

With the change of the Clippers' rhythm, the entire team's style of play has changed, and the advancement speed has been fully half as fast as before.On the defensive end, the Clippers players have also become excited, and their shots are much faster.

The changes of the Clippers made the Spurs a little uncomfortable. After the score was tied to only 4 points, Popovich wisely chose to pause.

With 2 minutes and 14 seconds left in the third quarter, the Spurs led the Clippers by 4 points.

Any fool can see that the Clippers have played a very good counterattack in this short period of time. After Rivers said a few unnutritious words of encouragement to the players off the court, he began to make tactical arrangements again.

Returning to the field again, the Clippers' lineup has not changed, while the Spurs' side has changed on the back line. Popovich replaced the old demon knife Ginobili.

Regarding the Spurs' GDP combination, there is a saying: Look at Duncan in good times, Parker in adversity, and Manu in desperate times.

This sentence fully reflects the normal performance of Popovich's GDP combination on the court.

The purpose of replacing Ginobili at this time is obvious enough.Now that the end of the third game is approaching, and the Spurs have not reached the point of desperation, then the only explanation is that Popovich wants Ginobili to help the team score and further increase the score.

Although Ginobili is old and has long lost his bravery, his role on the court must not be underestimated, he is too cunning.

Although the Clippers were prepared, they finally followed Ginobili's way and were awarded a 2+1 by Ginobili.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ning Caichen took the lead and made a super long three-pointer. This was the third three-pointer he made tonight.For a three-point shooter, Ning Caichen made very few three-point shots today.

In addition, the Spurs have always maintained a strong defense, and only Paul and Ning Caichen can easily rush to the basket.

With the assistance of his teammates, Ning Caichen rushed under the Spurs time and time again, either assisting his teammates or laying up himself, and his efficiency was also very high, with a success rate of [-]%.

As for the outside line, Leonard's defense is too fierce, making it difficult for him to have a good chance to shoot long-range.

Ning Caichen single-handedly brought the Clippers' offense out of the Spurs' rhythm. Under the pick-and-rolls of Paul and Griffin, he dragged the team to kill the Spurs non-stop.

Although the Clippers are about to regain their rhythm, the Spurs' defense has always been on the line, and the score has been suspended around 4 points.

"Attack!! We want to attack!! I can't fight alone!!!" Ning Caichen shouted at his teammates.

There is no way for him to continue playing singles like this, and his teammates still can't open it.Everyone put in a lot of effort on defense, but they didn't play very rationally on the offensive end.

"Let's bring up the rhythm slowly, and wait until the last 5 minutes to launch a general attack." Paul said to Ning Caichen while running.

It can only be like this. The Spurs have such a strong defense. If they force it, the success rate will be much lower. It is better to let Ning Caichen keep playing alone to maintain efficiency.

Ning Caichen dribbled the ball into the inside again, and with the cooperation of Paul, he scored two points again.

Ning Caichen found that when he made a shot, the light in the white area surrounding his body had lost its initial intensity, and as he continued to attack the inside line, the color became lighter and lighter.

The depth of the color of the light area represents the physical strength value, so as long as the color of the light area wrapped around the body changes, it means that his physical strength value has begun to decline.

After so many games before, there has never been such a rapid physical exhaustion as tonight, which is enough to show how strong the Spurs' defense is.

"It seems that my physical strength still has a lot of room for improvement!"

Ning Caichen was not depressed, but rather excited and looking forward to it.This kind of game intensity, if the physical strength is better, no matter how strong the defensive intensity is, he is not afraid that it will be difficult to display his strength due to the influence of physical strength.His physical strength still has a lot of room for improvement.

No matter how powerful it is, its energy is limited, it is difficult to merge the two, and there will always be a trade-off.

In tonight's game, Ning Caichen was said to be the only one who achieved the ultimate in both offense and defense.It is a great master on both offensive and defensive ends like Leonard, who sacrificed his offensive contribution tonight and put all his energy on defense.

Just when Ning Caichen was focusing on Leonard, he suddenly found that Ginobili had stepped out to set him a pick-and-roll, and Ning Caichen quickly caught up.

Ning Caichen sneered inwardly.Here we go again, this is the third pick-and-roll for Leonard by Ginobili, but he broke them all.

When he saw Leonard's unhurried breakthrough with the ball and finally received the ball, Ning Caichen quickly reached out and blocked it.

After Leonard saw it, the corner of his mouth moved, and his gesture of holding the ball changed.

Ning Caichen was surprised when he saw it: "Not good!!"

I saw the basketball fly to the outside line, and Ginobili turned to the outside line and scored a three-pointer after catching the ball.

"brush!!"

The score that had just been equalized was taken ahead once.

Ning Caichen was very annoyed, no wonder his teammates didn't make up the defense in time, everyone was attracted by Leonard, and Ginobili was also very cunning, using Ning Caichen's position to stagger the defenders.

Ginobili has always been able to hit a deadly ball at critical moments, and everyone has become accustomed to Ginobili's savior-like role in the Spurs.

Ning Caichen took the ball from Paul, quickly rushed to the inside, then gave the ball to Griffin and quickly retreated to the outside.

After Ning Caichen received Griffin's point, he stood on the outside and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

"Dangdang!" The basketball jumped out after bouncing a few times inside the ball frame.

Aldridge jumped up to grab the rebound and pass the ball to Leonard.Leonard flicked the ball after a cross dribble, and then threw it to Ginobili who was already standing on the outside.

Griffin galloped up and swooped at Ginobili.However, when Ginobili saw Griffin's posture, he stepped on his feet, tilted his body, slightly avoided Griffin's half position, tilted his body and threw the ball.

"boom!!"

"Beep!!"

The basketball hit the backboard and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

2+1, Ginobili was thrown to the ground by Griffin.

There was an uproar at the scene, and Ginobili hit a 3-pointer again.Griffin held his head with an innocent expression on his face, and wanted to complain to the referee, but he was embarrassed, because half of his body was indeed overwhelming Ginobili.

After exchanging the ball, Rivers decisively called a timeout.

"Team! Team!! Where is your sense of teamwork?..."

Rivers was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players, especially Ning Caichen's solo fight.It was okay at the beginning, and the success rate was quite high. The handling of the next few balls directly allowed the Spurs to succeed in consecutive counterattacks, and the score was once again opened.

Regarding Rivers' accusation, Ning Caichen had nothing to say.Rivers sought stability and wanted to maintain the rhythm of the first half, but Ning Caichen demanded a sudden change.However, Ning Caichen's selection method did not make the team's operation better.No one thought that the Spurs' super defense would last the entire game.

However, Ning Caichen's initiative to choose changes is correct.In terms of tactics, Popovich didn't know that he dumped Rivers by dozens of streets.

Next, Rivers made a decision that surprised everyone. He replaced Ning Caichen with Rivers Jr., and asked Ning Caichen to calm down by name.

After hearing this, Ning Caichen hesitated to speak. He couldn't blame others for not being able to help the team.It's just that it's a little funny to use Rivers Jr.?
Paul and the others also had an old face, and they had many opinions on Little Rivers.Now let Jr. Rivers replace Ning Caichen, at such a critical moment, this is simply committing suicide!
Little Rivers ran onto the stage excitedly, and looked at Ning Caichen with a smile on his face.

Little Rivers can be regarded as up-to-date. In the second round, he received an open ball from Paul and threw the first goal of the game under the basket.

Rivers shook his fist excitedly after seeing it, and he didn't know whether he was happy for the team's score or his stupid son's goal.

However, Rivers was not overjoyed, and when Rivers Jr. broke through with the ball, he was intercepted by Leonard cleanly.The Spurs quickly counterattacked and successfully played a fast break.

Immediately afterwards, Rivers Jr. made another pass error plus a shot.A total of 7 points were sent to the Spurs.

With a dark face, Rivers called a timeout again.
