The teams returned to the court after the timeout.

Griffin was chatting and smiling with Paul, looking relaxed.

Ginobili's three-pointer was crucial, but there were less than 30 seconds left in the game.

During the timeout, Paul got impatient and directly took DeNagro's tactics board to arrange the play.

Paul's arrangement was to find a mismatch for Griffin to isolate and attack.

With a 1-point lead and 30 seconds left, they would be invincible if they scored 2 points.

Even if they drew a foul on the opponent's interior, they would have a significant advantage.

Compared to DeNagro, Paul was clearly more suitable to be the head coach of this team.

The Clippers inbounded the ball, Paul dribbled it to the front court, and then directly made tactical gestures.

Griffin and Foye ran an off-ball screen-and-roll near the free throw line.

Ginobili's footwork was shifty, and he avoided the screen.

Caron Butler then went to screen Diaw.

This time it worked, and Griffin switched onto Tang Tian.

Paul signaled to spread out and passed the ball inside, Griffin got an opportunity to isolate Tang Tian at the free throw line.

Griffin is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 113 kilograms.

Tang Tian has grown a little taller since the start of the season, around 2.02 meters, and weighs 95 kilograms.

In terms of physique, Tang Tian was at a disadvantage in all aspects except for wingspan.

This was a standard mismatch between a swingman and a power forward.

After Griffin got the ball, he backed against Tang Tian, unable to contain his excitement.

In the second quarter, Tang Tian's househorse got him a technical foul, and now he had a one-on-one opportunity in the end.

He was simply the chosen one!

Killing the game with a final single against Tang Tian and tying the series score to 1-2, there could be no more perfect script.

In a novel, he would be the protagonist!

The fans on the sidelines also started to heckle loudly at this time.

Griffin's average score this season was the highest on the team, he was the Clippers' leader, and now was the time for him to step up.

The Spurs didn't dare to double-team immediately, as Griffin, as a big man, had nearly 4 assists per game, a significant passing threat.

Griffin directly bulldozed Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was forced back several steps.

Although Griffin wasn't a power-oriented big man, his advantage against the mismatch was too obvious.

He chose to try a half-front steal.

Griffin's short arms not only affected his rebounding, but also reduced his ball-handling ability, Tang Tian's steal forced him to lower his dribbling center of gravity.

Tang Tian then leaned his body against him, which managed to hold him off for the moment.

Griffin pushed but couldn't move him, and the crowd on the sidelines became restless.

He was visibly annoyed and directly exerted force to turn around, preparing to force a dunk.

Tang Tian's body put a lot of pressure on him, and he unconsciously swung his elbow when he turned.

This elbow hit Tang Tian in the chest, and Tang Tian fell backward dramatically.

Griffin was holding the ball, ready to dunk.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle.

The referee didn't even realize it, blowing instinctively.

But after blowing it, he then made a gesture for an offensive foul.

Griffin's offensive foul!

DeNagro on the other side of the court was stunned.

The Clippers' bench cheered excitedly.

The fans in the arena booed.

The referee, who had been calling a home-court game the whole time, actually called an offensive foul on Griffin in the end?!

Paul was also very excited at this time. Being called for an offensive foul was the worst-case scenario. They might be killed after the ball changed hands!

He rushed to the referee.

Before, he had been holding Griffin back to prevent him from spitting on the referee's face, but now that he was excited, he couldn't care less.

Fortunately, it wasn't "Baldy" Crawford on the other side.

The referee wiped the saliva off his face and signaled Paul to back off.

Tang Tian was holding his chest at this time.

To be honest, Griffin's force was really fierce.

But at that moment, he suddenly remembered something important.

He was an actor too!

When it comes to flopping, he, who possessed the flopping actor skill, was much more professional than Griffin!

He didn't let Ginobili and Duncan pull him up until they came over.

The boos at the scene continued.

Paul rushed to DeNagro's side and reminded him loudly that the head coach had the right to request a video replay in the last two minutes of the game.

The three referees went to the technical table, and the overwhelming boos at the scene calmed down a bit.

The Clippers' players were waiting to see the video replay.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich seized the time to arrange the next play.

"Tang, you take the last shot, we'll go for a three-pointer on the final possession."

Regardless of how the referee called it in the end, the Spurs had to score in the next round.

Popovich directly started arranging the play, treating the technical timeout as a regular timeout.

And this tactic was really bold, directly handing the key ball to Tang Tian in the end.

You know, Ginobili had just hit a key three-pointer in the previous round.

Probably only Popovich would do this.

However, most of the Spurs players didn't seem surprised. It wouldn't be Popovich if they were surprised.

Tang Tian also nodded.

Ginobili had just made a key three-pointer, so the defensive pressure would definitely be great. Choosing other finishing points at this time was actually not wrong.

But Popovich was indeed bold, even though Tang Tian had performed steadily at key moments during the regular season, this was the playoffs.

The referee had the result after watching the video replay over and over again.

Griffin's elbow movement when he turned around was too obvious. Although Tang Tian had some exaggerated elements, it did not prevent the correctness of the ruling.

Popovich nodded and clapped his hands at this time.

The referee, who had been calling a home-court game the whole time, was finally fair at the final moment.

The Spurs' ball.

Popovich didn't call a timeout.

Parker took the ball in the backcourt and directly advanced to the frontcourt. There were less than 20 seconds left, and the Clippers were leading by 1 point.

All the fans at the scene became nervous at this time.

Now that the ball was in the Spurs' hands, if they were killed, the picture was really unimaginable…

Damn referee, why did you call an offensive foul!

Wouldn't it be better to turn a blind eye!

They complained in their hearts, and at this time their eyes were extremely nervous looking at the court.

"Bang! Bang!"

The scene was suddenly extremely quiet, so quiet that you could only hear your own heartbeat.

The commentators at the commentary booth also stared at the court.

Parker arrived in the frontcourt and raised his hand to make a td.step hammer tactic gesture.

After a series of tactical runs, Ginobili landed at the forty-five-degree angle on the right wing.

Parker's breakthrough attracted some of the Clippers' defensive attention, and Ginobili's landing restrained another part of the attention.

At this moment, Tang Tian, who was originally located in the left corner, responsible for creating space and shooting fixed-point three-pointers, suddenly moved to the forty-five-degree angle on the left side.

Diaw's pick-and-roll screen.

A new evolution of the hammer tactic!

This change came too suddenly, Tang Tian ran out of a slight gap opportunity!

Parker passed the ball with a flick of his hand in the first time.

Tang Tian caught the ball, Griffin lunged to help defend.

But it was still half a beat slower, Tang Tian caught the ball and seized the only opportunity to shoot quickly.

The ball flew over Griffin's head, spinning towards the basket.

The hearts of everyone at the scene rose to their throats.

"Game-winning shot…" the commentator also lengthened his tone.

"Beep!"

When the ball passed the highest point and began to fall, the red light on the sidelines also lit up.

This was a ball of life or death.

"Swish!"

"Hits!"

Accompanied by the commentator's shout with a heavier ending, Tang Tian's game-winning three-pointer went into the net!

Like a bucket of cold water falling from the sky, it poured down on the audience's heads.

Cold from head to toe.

They were still leading by 4 points in the last minute, but were reversed and killed in the end!

So depressing!

Griffin bit his mouthpiece and held his head.

He had committed an offensive foul on Tang Tian in the previous round, and now he became the background board for the game-winning shot.

Paul gave head coach DeNagro a cold look at this time.

The Clippers had 2 short timeouts left, but he didn't call any of them!

The Clippers' fans were depressed, and the Clippers' players were depressed!

But on the other side, the Spurs' players started celebrating!

Ginobili was the first to go over, backhand, smack.

Tang Tian's ass got a slap.

Duncan also rarely showed a smile on the court, grabbed Tang Tian's head, and hugged him into his arms while touching it.

Tang Tian had given up resisting, anyway, resistance was useless.

After that, Parker, Diaw, and the Greens, Joseph, and Leonard from the bench all rushed up from the sidelines and shouted around him.

The reactions after a game-winning shot are all the same.

Not to mention a team like the Spurs who have been seeking stability for years, this kind of game-winning shot is really rare.

And it's still from a role player, a rookie's game-winning shot!

Popovich didn't go up, but his face was also full of smiles.

This kid, I knew it, he could hit a game-winning shot in front of 70,000 people in the NCAA, these 20,000 people in the playoffs are just a small case.

In the post-match data statistics, Griffin scored 32 points and 15 rebounds in vain, and Paul also got 28 points and 11 assists.

But the Clippers' role players performed about the same as in the previous two games, and failed to provide them with too much firepower support.

Ginobili, who scored the highest on the Spurs side, had 26 points and 4 assists, Parker had 19 points and 9 assists, Duncan had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Leonard had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

Tang Tian was closely marked in this game, and his score was not that high. He only scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block on 4 of 9 shots from the field.

But he forced an offensive foul on Griffin and a game-winning shot at the last moment, this performance was absolutely dazzling.

With this game, the Spurs took a 3-0 lead in the series.

Just like when they played the Mavericks before, as long as there were no major injuries, it was a foregone conclusion that they would win this series.

And for the Clippers, there was not much time left for them to perform on the playoff stage.

After a day of rest, the Lakers and Thunder game started at the Staples Center.

Kobe returned to the home court and took crazy shots, and finally scored 40 points to help the Lakers narrowly beat their opponents 99-96 at home and regain a city.

Kobe used practical actions to tell the Clippers next door that the iron Lakers are the eternal kings of Los Angeles.

Being killed, 0 to 3, and the city team won the ball.

The Clippers' mood was extremely complicated at this time, and could only be described in five words.

Oh yeah! So angry!

With this anger, the fourth battle of the Clippers and Spurs series continued to be played at the Staples Center a day later.

This was the Spurs' match point.

The Clippers reached the edge of the cliff, and there seemed to be nothing to care about anymore, but the results opened up.

To paraphrase the classic lines from American movies, God was on their side tonight.

Throughout the game, the Clippers' team's shooting percentage was as high as 70%. They scored 100 points in three quarters and led the Spurs by 20 points.

And finally won the Spurs by 125 to 105, bringing the score to 1 to 3.

After the game, Griffin and Paul attended the team's press conference with smiles on their faces.

"Our performance tonight was great. Passing the ball, passing and cutting, shooting, basically how to play is how to play. This is the real performance of this team."

Paul gave a very high evaluation of the team's performance after the game.

"We have been under too much psychological pressure in the past. Tonight we let go, we found the right way to win, and this will be a great start."

Griffin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Keep this rhythm, we have a great chance to win the series, we have the opportunity to become creators of history."

Jordan also showed absolute confidence.

"Tonight is the first time Chauncey has come to the game. I told him a long time ago that we can win the game when he is on the court. This is the case in the regular season, and this is also the case in the playoffs. I have already told him that he will go to San Antonio with us in the next game."

Paul was in a good mood, and joked with the reporters at the end, which caused a burst of laughter from the reporters off the stage.

Four games were played, 3 to 1.

Although they lost a bit too much in the last game, the Spurs players did not show any frustration.

The opponent had a 70% shooting percentage in the whole game, and it was in the playoffs. This situation was very rare.

It was too unlikely that the Clippers would play this kind of game again.

Back in San Antonio, the Spurs carried out their routine shooting training as usual.

After the training, the players sat in the locker room to rest and chat.

"These guys…" Green took his mobile phone and put it in front of Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took a look, it was the news of the Clippers' post-match interview.

After reading it, he probably knew why Green reacted like this.

Relying on this super shooting rate to win a game, these three brothers from the Clippers are going to heaven!

How to play is how to play?

Found a way to win?

Creator of history?

Is this because there is no compulsion in my heart or is it just pretending to be coercive.

If it were so fierce, they wouldn't have been defeated 3 to 0.

"Don't you think this Clippers team is annoying?" Tang Tian returned the phone to Green, and then said.

Green thought for a while, and then nodded.

Don't say it, there really is this feeling, and he also has several friends in the NBA, and it seems that he has had similar complaints.

"Is it very strange?" Green said, looking at Tang Tian.

"This is not surprising at all. When a team likes to complain about the referee when they lose, and starts to be arrogant and feels invincible when they win others, don't you think it's a ghost that they are annoying?"

Tang Tian complained.

"Who hasn't lost a ball? Who hasn't won!"

After Tang Tian said this, even Duncan, who was sitting far away, nodded silently.

It seemed that this was really what everyone thought.
