The Clippers' Counterattack

Kings Coach Adelman narrowed his eyes slightly; the Clippers' morale had soared, and they seemed reborn.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Alvin Gentry, who was sitting in the Clippers' rest area.

Alvin Gentry, what exactly did you do to get the team's players back on track?

Alvin Gentry was unaware of Coach Adelman's observation; he was inwardly praying that the Clippers' momentum could last for a few more games, ideally until Game 7.

With the experience of winning three consecutive games, the Clippers were sure to go further in the Playoffs the following season. If they could strengthen their roster, they might even reach the Western Conference Finals, and then the season after that, the Finals, and finally the championship.

The thought that he would become a championship coach in just three more years made Alvin Gentry tremble uncontrollably. He was so excited.

He is still grateful that he was moved by the Eastern Kid's diligence and let him play, despite the foolish thing he did.

At this moment, Coach Adelman withdrew his gaze, thinking, "A coach who can lead a team to the Playoffs is indeed no ordinary person, but..."

Thinking of this, Coach Adelman's lips curled into a smile. However, no team can come back from a 3-0 deficit to win, because no team can maintain such a high level of performance for four consecutive games.

The Kings' tactics revolve around Princeton offense, which is based on constant back-cutting and passing to find the perfect opportunity to attack. This style of play is very physically demanding, which is why the Kings' players have significantly better stamina than those of other teams.

Bibby passed the ball to Doug Christie, and Abba passed it to Chris Webber.

Webber drove towards the basket, overpowering Odom.

Wang Zhizhi and Odom double-teamed Chris Webber.

Webber bounces the ball to Divac.

Divac dribbled the ball instinctively, then turned his back to the ball and leaned against Corey Maggette, who had just come to help defend.

At this moment, Li Chen moved to double-team Divac.

Divac had no passing angle left, so he could only shoot before a double team formed. Divac suddenly turned around, created a shooting angle, and then made a layup.

However, Corey Maggette's defense was excellent, and the basketball bounced off the rim.

Just then Li Chen, who had just arrived, leaped high and grabbed the rebound.

The Kings didn't hesitate; they quickly retreated on defense to prevent the Clippers from launching a fast break.

After Li Chen dribbled the ball up the court, he continued to call for a pick-and-roll.

After using Wang Zhizhi's screen to create shooting space, Li Chen hit a three-pointer.

The basketball in Li Chen's hand was lightly tossed high into the air, like a leaping musical note playing a beautiful melody.

It drew a mesmerizing arc, like a bird soaring freely in the vast sky.

And that basketball hoop, like a warm nest, quietly awaits the return of that basketball.

Swish!

21 to 29.

Despite the Clippers scoring 6 consecutive points, the Kings showed no signs of panic, advancing their offense in an orderly fashion.

Bibby broke through and passed the ball to Stojakovic.

Stojakovic received the pass but missed his jump shot.

A scramble for rebounds erupted under the basket.

Divac finally grabbed the offensive rebound.

Divac was immediately double-teamed by Wang Zhizhi Corey Maggette as soon as he landed.

Divac's forced shot was blocked by Corey Maggette and went out of bounds.

The Kings' inbounds ball.

A moment later, Doug Christie passed the ball to Stojakovic.

Stojakovic quickly passed the ball to Bibby.

At this moment, Andre Miller tried to steal the ball, but failed. However, the ball that had been deflected was caught by Li Chen.

After receiving the ball, Li Chen sprinted rapidly towards the opponent's attacking third.

At this moment, the Kings' Bibby reacted first and followed closely behind.

Just as he crossed the three-point line, Li Chen suddenly stopped, the intense friction between the floor and his shoes producing a piercing whistle.

This unexpected turn of events Bibby Bibi completely off guard; he never imagined that Li Chen would choose to stop abruptly.

In his opinion, Li Chen should have dunked the ball, because that would have greatly boosted the team's morale.

Caught off guard, Bibby immediately stopped, but in his haste, he was a little unsteady on his feet. However, he still consciously raised his hand to distract Li Chen.

Li Chen stopped abruptly and immediately launched a step-back three-pointer, Bibby's interference ineffective.

Li Chen raised his arm, flicked his wrist, and tossed the basketball into the air.

Swish! The basketball went through the net.

The Clippers narrowed the gap to five points, 24-29.

In just a few minutes, the Clippers went on a 9-0 run against the Kings.

The arena was ignited by the Clippers' offense, and the fans erupted in cheers.

The Clippers suddenly erupted, forcing Coach Adelman to call a timeout.

To be honest, Coach Adelman doesn't care much about the Clippers. After all, they have a 3-1 record against the Clippers in the four regular season matchups, and they are currently leading the Clippers 3-0 in the Playoffs. So they have enough confidence to look down on the Clippers.

But a strange thought suddenly popped into Coach Adelman's mind: could their Kings really be overturned?

But he ruthlessly rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind. Impossible, absolutely impossible, he would never allow such a thing to happen to the Sacramento Kings.

Coach Adelman's timeout was primarily focused on improving the Kings' offensive efficiency.

It must be admitted that Coach Adelman truly deserves his 1000-win record; after the timeout, Chris Webber received a pass from Bibby and scored a goal.

The score difference widened to 7 points, 24 to 31.

Li Chen continued to set screens, but this time Wang Zhizhi missed the shot. However, Corey Maggette grabbed the rebound.

He quickly passed the ball to Li Chen, and as soon as Li Chen received the ball Kings players swarmed towards him.

Li Chen could only dribble towards the outside to reorganize the offense.

Doug Christie lowered his center of gravity, his eyes fixed intently on Li Chen's next move.

Meanwhile, Bibby was also providing support from the sidelines. Whenever Li Chen showed any signs of trying to break through, he would immediately abandon his defense against Andre Miller and choose to double-team him.

Just then, Li Chen suddenly started the engine.

He used an exaggerated crossover dribble without slowing down, breaking through Doug Christie's defense before Bibby could react.

This scene stunned the fans at the stadium and those watching on television.

Then they all felt sorry for Li Chen's ankle for three seconds.

After Li Chen used an exaggerated, wide-angled crossover to break through Doug Christie's defense, he drove straight down the court like an arrow to the basket.

At that moment, Divac blocked Li Chen's path.

But Li Chen charged at him like a tiger descending from the mountain, and he leaped high into the air.

He wanted to dunk over Divac.

Divac's eyes flashed with a fierce light; he wanted to block him, but he absolutely wouldn't allow it.

He gathered all his strength and leaped high into the air, crashing into Li Chen.

At that moment, it was as if two planets had collided violently.

Bang!

Li Chen hung expressionlessly from the basketball hoop, staring blankly at Divac who was looking up at him.
