During the Clippers' offensive round, Tang Shuai ran out of breath. After Paul was gone, he naturally became the focus of the Rockets' defense. Double-teaming appeared from time to time. When it hit this point, his physical strength was obviously not up to par.

Smith gave him a pass in one second, and he flicked a shot and then handed the ball to Griffin inside.

Griffin punched Capela on his back, and he made a few hard hits and was about to hand over the ball, but at this moment, Harden suddenly rushed towards him.

"Be careful!" Tang Shuai shouted anxiously.

Griffin hurriedly collected the ball, and Harden's hand almost wiped the basketball, which made Griffin sweat in a cold sweat.

“deen color!”

The cheers of the fans at the scene rang out deafeningly. At this last moment, the home court was completely in a state of madness.

Seeing that time was approaching, Griffin turned around and made a difficult back shot.

Capela jumped up to cover.

The basketball flew over Capela's fingertips, and hit the frame with a "bang" and jumped high.

Jordan and Howard, who were at the basket, jumped up and wanted a gun board.

However, after the ball bounced up, it did not go out, but went inward. Both of them were about to catch it, and they all took it back.

With a "bang", the basketball bounced into the inner ring of the basket again, bounced back and rolled into the ring with luck.

106 to 107!

The score difference is only 1 point left.

Bickstaff immediately called for a pause.

"Good job, good job! Just like that, if you guard against the next ball, we will win the game!" As soon as the Clippers players got off the court, Kassel loudly encouraged the players.

"One ball, just one ball. When we score this goal, we will be the final winner." Bickstaff also cheered the Rockets players.

The fans at the scene were all standing up from their seats at this time, and no one wanted to miss this last wonderful moment.

After the timeout, the Clippers used the full-game press and were completely guarded against the Rockets players.

Bickstaff got McHale's ability to "drink chicken soup". However, he was still a little worse in tactics. The ball was not sent out under the strict defense of the Clippers.

As a last resort, Ariza, who served the ball, called another timeout.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

"Good job! Good job! This is the last time Houston has paused, so guard against another ball!" Kassel wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to encourage the players.

Kassel was a little nervous, while Bickstaff was completely over-excessive. His forehead was covered with sweat stains and he didn't even bother to wipe it. He kept emphasizing tactics with the tactical board.

Some fans at the scene couldn't help but reach out and patted their chests to relieve their inner tension. No one expected that Paul would be in front of him during an injury game.

After the timeout, Ariza still serves.

The Clippers' defense is still tight, and the Rockets players tried to try the pick-and-roll without a ball several times but failed.

Seeing that time passed in seconds and if the ball could not be sent out again, it would be a five-second violation, Ariza shouted and threw the ball out vigorously.

Harden turned around and ran out to catch the ball.

However, at this moment, Tang Shuai rushed out desperately. Ariza made a very reluctant shot. It can even be said that his position was easier to catch the ball than Harden.

Two men with exclusive breakthrough bags started a speed race on the basketball court.

Harden took the lead and was about to catch the ball, but Tang Shuai jumped from behind and grabbed the ball into his arms.

He obviously has a more advantage than the bounce without confrontation.

Harden turned around and wanted to grab the ball from Tang Shuai. How could Tang Shuai make him succeed? He saw the opportunity to make a long pass through the ground that ran through the half.

After Ariza sent the ball, almost all the players ran towards the ball. At this time, the Rockets' halftime was completely empty, and Brewer, who had made a breakthrough, reacted first. After seeing Tang Shuai grab the ball, he turned around and ran to the basket.

Tang Shuai's long pass passed through the middle of Green and Capela and went directly to Brewer's hand.

Brewer grabbed the ball and moved it forward two steps, then quickly sent the ball upwards.

It's so close that it's open. It's hard for Brewer to not score this goal.

The basketball fell straight into the net bag, and it was a perfect kill!

108 to 107!

The Clippers overtook the game, with the last 8 seconds left.

The fans at the scene were in a mess. No one expected that after Bickstaff arranged two tactics, he did not pass a single ball!

The Clippers players' faces were full of excitement. If the game hadn't ended, they would have celebrated with Brewer in their arms.

Tang Shuai was the calmest one at this time. He looked up at the time, and then focused all his attention on Harden.

"Defense! Defense!" Billups suddenly shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Just as Billups shouted, Beverly scored a free throw from the baseline and Harden quickly broke forward with the ball.

Tang Shuai followed him back to the backcourt, and he was about to reach the backcourt of the Clippers.

Although it was just a blue defensive bag, his judgment was quite accurate, and he was pressed against Harden tightly, so he would not have the opportunity to break through or turn around.

Time passes by bit by bit, and the game is about to end.

At this moment, Harden made a super risky move. He pushed Tang Shuai with his right hand, then turned around to the left and then took a step back.

Tang Shuai was pushed by Harden and staggered. It was not easy to stabilize the center of gravity when retreating. When he was pushed again, it was almost impossible to get up again. He tried his best to pounce forward, and could only watch Harden take a step back and take action.

Shortly after Harden made a shot, the red light on the sidelines followed.

The basketball drew a small parabola at close range and then fell straight towards the basket.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Harden shot a night's retreat, and the last goal was as stable as before.

The final kill! Harden defeated the Clippers at the last moment!

The scene suddenly fell into an explosion-like boiling sound.

When Tang Shuai saw the ball enter, he immediately found the referee's theory. Harden's goal was very beautiful, but the ball obviously pushed him in the end.

The referee communicated with Tang Shuai for a few words, shrugged and signaled that the game was over.

When Tang Shuai argued again, the referee simply ignored him completely, which made him so angry that he almost jumped up.

At this time Pierce came over and pulled him, and then interrupted him and continued to complain.

"Don, this is the game. It makes no sense to argue again." Pierce was a veteran after all, and knew that this was the Rockets' home court, and things like home whistle were always inevitable.

Billups also walked to him at this time, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have done a good job. Be prepared for the next game."

Tang Shuai looked up at the score on the court with some reluctance, shook his fist and could only return to the locker room with the other players.

"Fuck!" As soon as he returned to the locker room, he couldn't help but hit the cabinet in one lap. Paul was injured because of the game. But he couldn't defend against the last ball.

"Don, Sam asked you to take a shower and attend the press conference with him." At this moment, a staff member walked to the door and shouted outside the locker room.

Tang Shuai calmed down, responded, and then took a towel into the shower room.

The Clippers' locker room seemed a bit dull. Paul was injured and finally killed again. No one would be in a good mood.

Tang Shuai quickly finished the shower and walked straight to the press conference, even though rationally told him that he could not say something. But he felt that he still had to say it.

At this moment, he saw Griffin limping from the other side of the passage.

"Blake? Are you okay?" Seeing Griffin's condition, Tang Shuai's heart was suffocated and cold. Paul was already injured. If Griffin was injured again, how could he continue this game?

"It's okay, I can still hold on. You can go to the press conference quickly. CP3 and coach Sam are waiting for you there." Griffin said with a smile.

"Well, be careful yourself." Tang Shuai said and walked quickly towards the press conference.

Although not at home, this press conference still attracted a lot of media, and the most important reason here is naturally Paul's injury.

When Tang Shuai arrived at the press conference, he saw Paul with a strap in his hand. When he saw the team doctor sitting next to him, he felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that Paul was really hurt.

The press conference began shortly after Tang Shuai arrived.

"Coach Sam, we want to know how injured CP3 is. Will he still play in the next game?" The first reporter who was named did not delay for a moment and asked straight to the topic.

Shuai Tang also turned to look at Cassel. He didn't know what Paul's injury was like.

"Well..." Kassel did not answer immediately. Facing the eyes of the reporters, he wanted to speak a few times but stopped. He was extremely depressed. When the reporter said "disturbing", he took a deep breath and said, "The injury of CP3 is not optimistic. Let Jeter tell everyone."

Jett refers to the team doctor of the Clippers. Compared to Kassel, his mood was relatively stable, but his tone was full of depression: "The reason for the injury of CP3 was caused by two forces. He was fighting with Patrick on the court. The strength of the two was originally formed a balance on the ball, but CP3 accidentally slipped at that time, which caused his middle finger to bear most of the strength of the two, so our final diagnosis was that the third metacarpal bone of the middle finger was fractured."

Hearing Jeter's explanation, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar.

After hearing this, Tang Shuai couldn't help but tremble and fracture?!

Although he didn't know what the third metacarpal bone was, he knew the best about the fracture. This was not a dislocation or a contusion. This was a fracture!

In China, the fracture cannot be cured within a few months. Even in the United States, NBA, which has a first-class medical level, it is impossible to get better without a month.

This means that Paul will definitely miss the next game against the Rockets, even the second round...

No wonder the reporters had this reaction. Without Paul, it would be like directly destroying half of the Clippers' combat power.

Paul's eyes were red at this time, and he couldn't help but shake his head, and he could see that he was trying his best to control his emotions.
