In a corner of the stadium stands, from a very high position.
Sitting here watching the stadium, I can only see 10 little people running back and forth.
The specific details need to be seen clearly on the big screen.
Marcella held up two bottles of beer, moved his strong body, and carefully squeezed into the seat.
He sat down heavily, breathed a long sigh of relief, and handed the beer in his hand to Christopher next to him.
"The store is so busy, do you really don't have to keep an eye on it?" Marcella asked.
"It's okay, as long as Linda is here, I should watch the last game of the regular season, otherwise I'll be sorry for the tickets you bought."
Christopher poured a pint of beer into his stomach, wiped his mouth, and his tired face relaxed a little.
"Linda's a bitch, you know, but she cooks really well, and Rhode Island has the most Italians. Just work together and don't worry about anything else."
Marcella knew why her brother was troubled. At their age, they had to bow their heads to life.
The heads above and below should be bowed.
Christopher did not refute, he asked: "Hey, why are the Clippers still lagging behind? Where are the people you arranged? Are they not playing a role?"
Marcella poked Christopher with his elbow and looked left and right. The fans on both sides were paying attention to the field.
And the sound was so loud that they couldn't hear the brothers' conversation.
To be on the safe side, Marcella said in Italian: "Tell your voice lower. Of course, the person who arranged it will have to play a role at the critical moment. The game is still long."
Christopher said: "Is it reliable? Can referees influence the game? They are not afraid of being caught, like Donaghy."
Marcella said: "Of course I'm afraid, the league's control has become more and more strict, but greed is everywhere. Winning or losing this game is not too important, it doesn't matter. And you know, some people don't need to enforce the game, just watch it Before the game, you will know the result of winning or losing based on the lineups of both sides, their injuries, and who blows the whistle.”
Christopher said: "I don't care, just let the Clippers win. This is my little repayment to Mr. Smart."
Marcella said: "When did you become so affectionate and righteous?"
Christopher smiled and said: "When I discovered that friendship is priceless... Hey! Foul! This ball is fouled! Extra penalty, extra penalty!"
Christopher suddenly shouted, and the surrounding Clippers fans were also very excited.
After the start of the third quarter, the Clippers regrouped and adjusted their offense.
In fact, what they need to adjust most is not their tactics, but their mentality and feel.
There was nothing wrong with the team's tactics. The opportunity came up, but the shot failed.
For five minutes, the Clippers' offense continued to hit the ground running, while the Lakers became more and more relaxed.
The point difference once widened to 12 points, when Clippers fans were desperate and Min Congda was about to jump to his feet.
Stephen Curry held the ball, and after a single screen, faced Shannon Brown who squeezed through the defense, he did not dodge, but shot a three-pointer!
Generally, in a pick-and-roll, when the defender bypasses, there will be a space to shoot.
If the defender squeezes through, it will be difficult to take a shot, and it will be interfered from the side and behind, or even blocked.
But Curry didn't break through or pass the ball, but forced a shot!
Shannon Brown nudged Curry, Curry fell to the ground, and the ball flew straight to the basket.
The referee blew the whistle, but the ball hit the net! There will be additional penalties!
After scoring, Curry stood up and roared at the excited audience!
This shot is very important. It is Curry's first three-pointer of the game.
He also hit an extra free throw and scored four points, and the score suddenly became 70:78.
The score difference changed from 12 points to 8 points, and came to within 10 points.
This is an exciting goal and a great encouragement to the Clippers players.
Min Congda was a little impatient and thought: "Damn it, who blew the whistle? How come it was a foul? No. 40 Wood?"
He felt that the foul call was a bit forced.
Subsequently, Gasol successfully defended his brother Dajia at the basket.
The Clippers counterattacked, and Curry quickly advanced with the ball.
A change of direction from the high post drove into the basket, and he hit the ball with a throw.
72:78, scored 6 points in a row, and the point difference was narrowed to 6 points.
The Clippers are starting to gain momentum.
There was some conflict between Artest and Ricky Davis under the basket as they competed for the ball.
Although Artest is known for his arrogance in the league, Ricky Davis is not easy to deal with either.
The two men faced off against each other, and the excitement of the competition arose.
The referee immediately called two technical fouls to cool down the field.
There can't be any major accidents in the last game of the regular season.
The game continued. Although the referee suppressed the conflict, the atmosphere was different.
In the subsequent defense, Davis forced himself to the ground to steal the ball and tripped Artest.
But the referee did not call a foul, and the ball was given to Curry again for a fast break.
Curry passed a long pass to Randolph who broke into the basket.
Randolph caught the ball and made a fake move to send Bynum flying.
Then he made an easy layup, 74:78, only 4 points away!
The Clippers quickly caught up with the score, and Jackson would definitely not call a timeout.
Min Congda was so anxious, "Damn monk, you're showing off again, damn, I'm going to be killed by you!"
He was extremely nervous. At this time, Bynum grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket and made a layup.
However, referee Motto waved his hand, indicating that the ball was invalid and Bynum committed a foul while grabbing an offensive rebound.
"Why...why is this a foul? Is Motuo blind? It's just a slight push!"
Min Congda suddenly felt something bad, very bad.
Sure enough, in the next round, Curry received Gasol's exquisite back pass from the outside.
45-degree three-pointer, open shot, hit again!
77:78, only 1 point away!
Min Congda felt that his blood pressure was soaring and he was about to burst a blood vessel.
However, Jackson still didn't call a timeout, he just wanted to show off.
Gasol took the ball in the low post and hit a goal steadily, 77:80.
Then, Gasol and Randolph cooperated in high and low positions, and Randolph hit a hook and scored 2 points.
79:80, still a 1 point gap.
The Lakers can only continue to play in the low post and get Bynum.
Bynum's turning hook shot didn't go in. Randolph defended the ball very hard.
The bottom plate was tightly stuck and pushed outward, causing Bynum's shot to be off balance.
Then he picked off the rebound and gave the ball to Curry. This was the Clippers' chance to take the lead.
Once the lead is taken, the momentum of the game will be completely reversed!
Min Congda felt extremely nervous. Was he going to overtake him?
"If we take the lead, this game will be dangerous. We will win it."
Curry's high pick-and-roll and double-screen coordination directly tore through the Lakers' defense with one thrust.
Go straight to the basket for a layup!
At this time a figure suddenly appeared.
Standing on Curry's breakthrough route.
It's Vujacic!
Curry hit him and knocked him down.
At the same time, he threw the ball and the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket!
"Beep!"
Referee De Rosa blew the whistle, and everyone paid attention to his gesture.
Is it a punch that represents an offensive foul, or a akimbo that represents a blocking foul?
Min Congda's heart was in his throat, a penalty that decided his fate.
Then DeRosa made a gesture with her arms akimbo.
Vujacic blocked the foul, the two points were valid, and there was an additional penalty.
Min Congda collapsed in his seat. He knew that he was going to win this game.
The fans at the scene were in jubilation. The reversal in the third quarter was a big reversal.
Min Congda finally held back. It was unreasonable to criticize the referee at this time.
In the stands, Christopher watched the Clippers suddenly launch a wave of offensive shockwaves.
Although Curry and the Clippers players performed well, the referees also added fuel to the fire.
If some of the penalties were slightly changed, the situation would be completely different.
But he couldn't tell which of the three referees had problems.
He asked Marcella: "Which guy helped?"
Marcella smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "I can't say, you have to judge for yourself. You can have ideas, but you will never have an answer."
