While walking towards the record table, Li Tian glanced at the score, 69:65, the king still maintained the lead.

After the start of the third quarter, the two teams were still extremely deadlocked, although the Kings could still maintain the lead, but did not widen the difference, Smart had already made one substitution before, replacing Marcus Thorton with John Salmons, and now replacing Isiah Thomas with Li Tian, which put Evans in the point guard position.

In the field, Isaiah Thomas saw that it was Li Tian who replaced him, and his face was full of unhappiness, but at this time, Li Tian obviously didn't care too much, especially when he saw the other party's face full of hatred, Li Tian simply didn't bother to say hello.

The Mavericks took the lead in attacking, and the Mavericks also adjusted the lineup, at this time Li Tian was opposite Vince Carter, the Canadian flyer who was once known as a half-man and half-god has always been the representative of the dunk in the hearts of many basketball fans.

But now Carter is no longer the flyer of the year, as he grows older, his competitive state continues to decline, and in recent years, he has frequently changed teams, how can he still have the style of the year, which can't help but make people sigh.

Coming to the Mavericks last season, Carter originally wanted to realize his championship dream, but he didn't want the Mavericks to barely enter the playoffs last season, and they were still far from the championship.

Time is a pig-killing knife! Following Carter's side, Li Tian couldn't help but sigh and said, as a basketball fan, he also likes Carter's dunk with a perfect combination of strength and beauty, but now he can only watch it from the video.

Just as Li Tian sighed, Carter had already received Collisson's pass.

Perhaps seeing Li Tianmiansheng, Carter did not pass the ball after receiving it, but dribbled himself and tried to play alone.

After joining the Kings, Li Tian not only trained offense, but also consciously improved on the defensive end, he often took the initiative to find Evans, Thorton, and other players who are good at singles to hone their defensive skills, compared to the NCAA period, Li Tian's defensive skills have also improved a lot.

After seeing Carter want to attack with the ball, Li Tian immediately posted it, Carter is undoubtedly very good at breaking through the shot, but now Carter's explosiveness is not as good as before, and the lethality of the breakthrough is also decreasing, and with the more stable shooting, the lethality of medium and long-distance shooting is improving.

So even though he knew that such a close fit was likely to give Carter room to break through, Li Tian still chose to do so.

The dribble suddenly stepped out, and Carter, who was pasted by Li Tian, tried to rush directly past Li Tian. However, Li Tian's reaction was also not slow, and he moved one step laterally, and Li Tian stopped Carter who broke through.

At this time, Carter took another big step towards the right front, his body and Li Tian opened up a little space, and then a low hand dribbled, the basketball was sent from the right hand to the left hand, and the person also flashed to the left and jumped.

Compared to his peak, Carter did these moves a little more often, and this also gave Li Tian time to defend. Coupled with the fact that he had made an accurate judgment and moved to the side, Li Tian was clinging to Carter's body, and his hand was raised high to interfere with the opponent's shot.

"Bang!" Li Tian's defense gave Carter a lot of interference, and the basketball bounced out of the basket and fell into the hands of Cousins.

Evans dribbled the ball into the halfcourt, and by this time Li Tian had already landed outside the three-point line, and then suddenly started running.

Next to Li Tian, Carter chose to follow closely, Carter is not known for his defense, and he obviously has not yet realized how good Li Tian's off-ball running is. After a sudden change of direction and a reversal, Li Tian successfully threw Carter away.

While running, Li Tian beckoned to Evans for the ball. With his partner in the previous game, Evans was still more confident in Li Tian's shot, and after seeing Li Tian ask for the ball, he immediately sent the ball over.

In the middle distance of the right baseline, Li Tian received a pass from Evans, hit an easy shot, and scored 2 points.

After the Mavericks re-attacked, Carter received the ball again, and after coming to the Mavericks, Carter took on part of the team's playmaking tasks. However, with the previous attempt, Carter did not choose to play singles again, but chose to play with Brand to block and dismantle.

Carter rushed to the basket with the help of Brand's block, and Li Tian moved quickly, bypassed behind Brand, and rushed to the basket with Carter's side and heel forward.

In the case that Li Tian was not completely out of position, Carter's breakthrough was not able to attract the defense of the other members of the Kings, and Carter had to continue to choose to rush forward at this time.

The two were entangled and rushed into the three-second zone, Carter leaned towards Li Tian, and with the advantage of strength, he pushed Li Tian away, and he jumped up, grabbing the ball with his right hand and preparing to make a layup.

"Smack!" At this moment, a large hand waved over and fanned the ball in Carter's hand.

After all, Carter's explosiveness is not as good as before, although he pushed Li Tian away, but he was no longer able to jump and dunk, and Cousins, who was making up the defense, arrived at this time and saw the opportunity to give Carter, who was making a layup, a block.

Li Tian stretched out his hand to grab the ball, turned around and dribbled the ball forward, the blocked Carter was not able to return to the defense at this time, and Cousins, who had completed the block, had already actively attacked quickly, such a good opportunity to play five to four, Li Tian naturally would not waste it.

Dribbling a step, Li Tian sent the ball to Evans' hands, and the man rushed to the front court.

The rest of the Mavericks were pinned down by the Kings' players, and when Lee came to the three-point line, he was faced with no defenders, and Evans passed the ball back at the right time.

Li Tian, who received the ball, was about to jump up and shoot, when a figure suddenly flew over from behind the side, but it was Vince Carter who was chasing from behind, Li Tian was already unable to dodge at this time, and the two collided directly together.

"Tick!" With the referee's whistle, the two fell to the ground.

Li Tian was not hit hard, so he quickly stood up, while Carter, who rushed directly over, fell obviously harder.

After standing up and seeing Carter still lying on the ground, Li Tian bent down and stretched out his palm, and asked in his mouth, "Vince, are you okay?" ”

"Very good, thank you!" Standing up with Li Tian's hand, Carter thanked Li Tian, and then walked to the side with a chagrin expression, I don't know if this annoyance was because he was blocked by Cousins before or because of this foul on Li Tian.

Carter's expression and the steps that were no longer firm made Li Tian's heart feel a little heavy, and the aging of a star is always regrettable.

In addition to regrets, Li Tian is also proud, Carter will do his best on the court, it is because of his love, because he still wants to win the game, even if he is no longer the courage of the past, he is still a fighter on the court.

Time and injuries can't completely destroy a heart that loves basketball, Grant Hill, an old generation of talent who came back to the Clippers a few years ago this season, has a knee full of injuries, arthritis has reached level 3 but Blanton Roy, who has returned this season, there are many such players in the NBA, Carter is one of them, Grant Hill is one of them, and Roy is one of them...... They are the fighters on the court and the pride of every basketball lover!

Vince Carter, Grant Hill...... Good luck!
