Chapter 688: Point difference, only 5 points left!

After receiving the ball from the backcourt, Wang Cheng dribbled the ball straight to the half court. He stopped outside the three-point line and then swayed to the right. He quickly changed direction and came to the left side to rush to the basket.

Jefferson tried his best to lean on Yang Shuai's side, but was still thrown away by Yang Shuai when he crossed the free throw line. Duncan, who had retreated to the basket early, was busy stepping forward to block it.

His body took a step towards the left. Yang Shuai grabbed the ball and moved it behind him. Just when Duncan was confused, Wang Cheng's left hand had already grasped the ball and reappeared in his sight. He leaned forward and gently moved his fingers.

Turning the ball, while his body fell towards the baseline, the ball in Yang Shuai's hand flew towards the backboard.

"Good shot! Yang hit another layup!"[

At 4 minutes and 46 seconds of the third quarter, Yang Shuai ran and received a pass from Hinrich inside the left three-point line. Facing the defense of Jefferson and McDyess, he shot backward and hit the ball.

At 5 minutes and 23 seconds of the third quarter, Yang Shuai broke through with the ball and rushed to the basket, causing Jefferson to get a defensive foul and made two free throws.

At 6 minutes and 49 seconds of the third quarter, Yang Shuai hit a mid-range pull-up jumper for two points...

Yang Shuai is in a rage! After watching Yang Shuai put the ball into the basket again and again, all the Warriors fans in front of the screen became excited. After the return of his hand, Yang Shuai became unstoppable, and the point difference was also increased by Yang Shuai again and again.

The attack gradually shrank. 16 points, 14 points, 13 points, 11 points...

George Hill's layup brought the difference between the two teams back to 13 points. The Warriors launched another attack. Jefferson was tightly beside Yang Shuai but still failed to prevent Yang Shuai from receiving the ball. Three from the right

Outside the line, Yang Shuai ran back and threw Jefferson away and caught the ball in his hands.

The Spurs players were very fast. When Jefferson quickly pressed forward, Ginobili also rushed over. Of course, Yang Shuai would not let the opponent form a complete double-team. He quickly started and rushed towards the right side.

Out, this direction completely disabled Ginobili's defense, and George Hill quickly rushed forward from outside the three-point line.

"Porphyry!" Yang Shuai and George Han Hill, who were charging forward, collided with each other. Jefferson also took the opportunity to take a step forward and get close to Yang Shuai's side.

Using his body strength, Yang Shuai continued to take a step forward. Just as the Spurs' inside players were preparing to step forward to help defend, the ball in Yang Shuai's hand had already been passed to Xin outside the three-point line.

Richie.

"Kirk, three-point chance...the ball went in! 10 points! The Warriors narrowed the point difference to 10 points!"

"Good job, Kirk!" Amid the boos of the fans at the scene, Yang Shuai hit Hinrich with his palms heavily. After most of the quarter, they finally closed the point difference to 10 points.

"Attack! Attack!" The lead was still 10 points, but the Spurs fans did not feel relaxed. The shouts could still be clearly heard in the stadium even amid the noise.

Ginobili stepped forward and hit a two-pointer from the mid-range, widening the point difference between the two teams to 12 points. The ball came to the Warriors again. Feeling the Warriors' offensive power, the Spurs player

He was also more focused on the defensive end. Yang Shuai failed to catch the basketball after several consecutive runs. Seeing how little offensive time was left, Yang Shuai once again rushed to the three-point line and caught the ball in two steps.

"Come on! Push on!" Popovich waved and shouted from the sidelines. Jefferson quickly followed, and Hill, who was guarding Hinrich, also rushed forward at this time.

After catching the ball and running back, Yang Shuai, who originally rushed to the left, suddenly froze after catching the ball. He changed direction and rushed to the right side. Beside him, Jefferson and Hill also rushed forward.

"No time!" In front of the screen, Warriors fans clenched their fists tightly and shouted in their hearts. There were only the last 2 seconds left, but Yang Shuai failed to get rid of the pressing pressure of Jefferson and Hill.

"Squeak!" One step outside the three-point line, Yang Shuai, who was charging forward, rose into the air amidst the sound of friction.

Without leaning back, his speed and the advantage of taking off first were enough for Yang Shuai to complete the shot, but two palms were shaking in front of his eyes. With his wrist shaking, Yang Shuai threw the ball. As the basketball flew up, the red light on the backboard turned on.

rise.

"Whoa!" The ball flew through the air, fell, fell into the basket, and hit the target!

"Roar!" He raised his right fist and hit his chest hard. Yang Shuai roared excitedly, 72:81, 9 points![

"The ball is in! Yang hit a three-pointer at the buzzer! 9 points! The Warriors have closed the gap to 9 points!" Barkley yelled excitedly. If Yang Shuai's previous offense only gave them this much expectation,

When the point difference was narrowed to 9 points, the desire for victory in the hearts of all Warriors supporters was completely aroused.

The scene was in commotion because of Yang Shuai's three-pointer. With a 9-point difference, the Spurs had truly felt the pressure brought by the Warriors.

"Hold on, kill those guys!" "Attack, widen the gap again!"

Amid the commotion at the scene, the time in the third quarter was slowly decreasing, and the score difference fluctuated between 10 points. However, the re-widening of the score difference that Spurs fans expected did not appear for a long time.

Jefferson was caught in the middle distance on the right side and received Collison's pass. Yang Shuai's body suddenly turned and he was already dribbling towards the basket. He took off outside the three-second area and collided with Blair's body. Yang Shuai

Use your fingers to throw the ball toward the basket. The ball bounces slightly on the basket, then rolls forward and falls into the basket.

"Beep!" Three seconds later, Parker missed a long-range three-pointer, and the referee also blew the whistle to end the third quarter.

Sitting down and high-fiving his teammates one by one, Yang Shuai slowly relaxed and looked up at the scoreboard. 79:87, the Warriors were only 8 points behind.

"The Warriors played the best quarter of the day. The whole team regained their offensive status. They narrowed the 11-point difference in a single quarter and did a great job. With an 8-point difference in one quarter, the victory was not on the line.

Not completely leaning towards Spurs."

35 points! The Warriors, who only scored 44 points in the first two quarters, scored 35 points in the third quarter. This was indeed the best quarter played by the Warriors today, and it was also the best quarter played by Yang Shuai.

After only scoring 9 points in the first half, Yang Shuai scored 24 points and sent 3 assists in the third quarter.

"Coach, I don't need to rest!" In the third quarter, he was in full swing. He faced the Spurs' two or even three-man defense again and again to complete the offense. However, Yang Shuai still felt that he had enough energy in his body, so he returned to the court.

Immediately asked Nelson to play again.

"Yang..." Old Nelson did not directly agree to Yang Shuai this time. In the third quarter, the Warriors completely picked up the rhythm, and Yang Shuai faced heavy defensive pressure to complete the offense, which must have consumed a lot of physical strength.

Knowing Nelson's worries, Yang Shuai said with determination: "Coach, I'm not tired, they are tired!"

Seeing Yang Shuai holding on, Old Nelson nodded and said: "In the fourth quarter, we need to pick up the rhythm again and let the guys on the opposite side run. The victory will belong to us!"

All the Warriors players nodded, while on the other side, Popovich gave the completely opposite instructions to the players: "Suppress the rhythm, don't let the opponent pick up the rhythm, and be careful to conserve your energy!"

To bring up the rhythm and consume the Spurs players' physical strength, this is what Nelson made at halftime. Although the Spurs rely on offense this season, the Spurs players are far from the Warriors' opponents in terms of running ability. After all,

The opponent's core players are no longer young. In the third quarter, the Warriors did a very good job. While their own offense was picking up, they also successfully brought up the rhythm and consumed the Spurs players' physical strength.

Nelson sent the team's two star players, Yang Shuai and Evans, onto the court at the same time, while Popovich also sent out Parker and Ginobili at the other end. The Warriors took the lead in attacking, and Collison dribbled halfway

The ball was handed to Evans immediately after the court.

After receiving the ball, Evans made a decisive breakthrough and rushed into the three-point line with Ginobili, forcing the Argentinian to follow suit, and the ball was handed over to Yang Shuai at this time.

It was the same breakthrough. Yang Shuai, who received the ball from the sky, did not pause at all, and did not give the Spurs a chance to adjust their defense. It was like a sharp knife piercing the inside of the Spurs.

He suddenly stopped and took off outside the three-second zone, jumped up in the crowd, Yang Shuai leaned back and threw the ball, hitting a two-pointer!

"Wow!" There was another slight commotion at the scene. At 81:87, Yang Shuai's goal narrowed the difference between the two teams to only 6 points.

Spurs players also made a breakthrough. Parker dribbled through and got the ball to Bonner while Landry was covering up. Bonner made a mid-range shot from the baseline.[

"Defense! Guard that guy!" "Don't let that guy catch the ball. It seems like this madman has found the feeling of scoring 86 points again." Compared with offense, Spurs players are more worried about defense.

Following Yang Shuai closely, Danny Green didn't feel relaxed at all. Yang Shuai's running skills were no less than Ginobili on the team. More importantly, Yang Shuai didn't seem to know how to get tired.

With his help, he had stopped Yang Shuai from catching the ball twice, but Yang Shuai still kept running.

He rushed from the left to the right along the baseline, and was about to rush to the right corner. Yang Shuai suddenly made a mistake in his steps and took another step to the left. Green and Bonner were busy counterattacking.

He ran, but at this moment, Yang Shuai's figure flashed and he rushed to the right again.

"Oops!" Seeing Yang Shuai rushing to the right side of the three-point line and no Spurs player could keep up, the Spurs fans on the sidelines immediately felt something bad.

Spurs fans prayed that Collison's pass error would appear accurately in Yang Shuai's hands, but their hopes were in vain, and the ball appeared steadily in Yang Shuai's hands.

Yang Shuai took off and found an opportunity to take a shot. Without any hesitation, Yang Shuai jumped up from outside the three-point line and took a shot.

"Uh-huh!" The crisp sound of wiping the net sounded again, resounding to the entire audience.

On the Warriors bench, all the players jumped up at this moment. 84:89, the score difference was only 5 points!
