Pope of Basketball.

Summary

The chapter describes a tense basketball game where the Clippers launched an 8-0 run, prompting a timeout from the Nets. Paul, a player on the Clippers, supported his teammate Ku Li, who was performing well. Coach Yang Rui made a strategic substitution, bringing Griffin back to strengthen the offense, while Stevens replaced Yao Ming with Evans to defend against the pick-and-roll. Despite Evans's poor free-throw shooting, he secured an offensive rebound after a missed shot, but missed both free throws. Ku Li then made a crucial shot, erasing an 11-point deficit, while the Nets struggled offensively. De Long hesitated during a critical moment, passing to Qiao Yue Han Xun, who scored a mid-range shot, narrowing the gap. With the game on the line, Dan Ni Ge Lin made a last-second three-pointer, winning the game for the Clippers at 113 to 112. The victory was attributed to Ku Li and Dan Ni Ge Lin's performances, maintaining the Clippers' winning streak.
