Chapter 125: The Feeling of a Dunk, Cool!
At the Sleep Train Arena, Li Tian was making final preparations on the sidelines with his teammates, and today their opponents were the Denver Nuggets, who were Iguodala's owners last season, and the two teams just made a trade this summer.
After the cheerleading performance, the starters from both teams came out, and Agarie Ranadave didn't lead the dance today, but she was still on the floor and sitting behind the Kings' bench.
On the Kings' side, the starters were the same as in the last game, with Li Tian continuing to start at the shooting guard position, with DeMarcus Cousins as the center, Jason Thompson as power forward, Andre Iguodala as small forward, and Tyrek Evans as point guard.
The Nuggets' starting center is Javier McGee, power forward JJ Hickson, and the small forward position is due to an injury to the starting Gallinari, and the coach sent Anthony Randolph, a player who can play the third or fourth position, and he is not very suitable for the third position in terms of ability, but in the previous game the Nuggets also arranged like this, but Randolph only played 15 minutes in the whole game, so this starter is really a bit unworthy of the name. On the guard line, the Nuggets have Ty Lawson and Randy Foye.
"Tick!" As the referee's whistle blew, Cousins and McGee jumped at the same time, and McGee was not a player who participated in the slam dunk contest and took the lead in getting the ball for the Nuggets.
Lawson controlled the ball to the front court and motioned for McGee to step forward to block and dismantle, and then broke through and went straight to the basket.
For the current Nuggets, there are no strong scoring points in the starting lineup except for Lawson, so Lawson directly chose to attack by himself.
Evans couldn't keep up with Lawson, so Cousins took the initiative to move his foot and follow Lawson's side.
Rushing into the three-second zone and leaning on Cousins, Lawson and Cousins distanced themselves while using the strength of Cousins' body to find the balance of his body and throw the ball to the basket.
Cousins was not affected by Lawson's leaning, nor did he grab the defense, watching Lawson shoot, Cousins jumped on the spot and waved his hand to the basketball.
"Smack!" After a dull sound, Lawson threw the ball towards the touchline.
Caps!
"Coax!" Many fans who had just sat down immediately cheered when they saw this scene, and the atmosphere at the King's home court was heating up as the game had just begun.
But on the court, Li Tian did not cheer and celebrate, the basketball incited by Cousins flew to the right sideline, and Li Tian was defending Randy Foye at a 45-degree angle on the right side at the moment, and saw that the ball was about to fly out of the bottom line from his side, Li Tian quickly rushed out.
Cousins blocked the basketball with great strength, even if Li Tian's reaction speed was not slow, and when he rushed to the sideline, the basketball had already flown out of the sideline.
Trying to reach forward, Li Tian finally grabbed the ball in his hand when his body was about to rush out of the sideline, and when he turned around and saw a figure wearing his team uniform, Li Tian immediately threw the ball over, but his body fell directly to the audience uncontrollably.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
The applause rang out at the scene, and the fans who were still cheering for Cousins gave their applause to Li Tian, who was trying to save the ball.
Seeing this scene, Jerry Reynolds, the commentator in charge of the commentary at the scene, immediately shouted: "Lee saved a ball with his positive and won the applause of the audience, and it is clear that this young player is becoming more and more loved by Kings fans." ”
"Yes, there's no fan who doesn't like a player who plays aggressively and shoots consistently, and it looks like he's still improving." Grant Napier, another commentator sitting on the sidelines, followed suit and said, "Look, he's aggressively attacking again. ”
The ball thrown out by Li Tian after falling was picked up by Evans, and Evans immediately dribbled the ball towards the half court, and at this moment, Li Tian quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the half court, almost after Evans had just stabilized the rhythm at the half, Li Tian had already arrived.
There was a slight pause outside the three-point line, and when Randy Foye came to stand in front of him, Li Tian immediately rushed to the inside line, and at the same time beckoned to Evans for the ball.
Cousins and Thompson have not yet entered the interior at the moment, so the Nuggets' two interior players have not returned to the interior, which makes Li Tian keenly aware of the opportunity to attack the basket.
Evans did not refuse Li Tian's request, in fact, at this moment, he also saw that Li Tian had a very good opportunity, Foye was left behind by Li Tian, and the Nuggets' two interior players were pinned down and not under the basket.
With a ground-hitting pass, Evans sent the ball to Li Tian, and after Li Tian rushed to the free throw line, the basketball came to his hands.
"Under the basket!" Foye, who was following Li Tian, was busy shouting at this time, the Nuggets' interior players did not find this loophole, but Foye, who was following behind, could see it clearly, but he had no ability to stop it at the moment, so he could only remind his teammates loudly.
McGee, who was closer to the basket, also reacted at this moment, moving quickly from the other side of the free throw line and rushing to the basket.
Behind McGee, Cousins also cut to the basket, ready to receive Li Tian's pass at any time.
McGee's physical talent is indeed outstanding, and when Li Tian was about to rush into the three-second zone, McGee had already come to the side, staring at Li Tian with a pair of eyes, eager to try.
"Come on, let me give you a big hat!"
McGee looked at Li Tian's eyes full of banter, if Li Tian dared to jump up to the basket or dunk at this time, he would not hesitate to jump up and send a block.
Li Tian is also well aware of this, although his bounce has improved, but it is clear that it is obviously not wise to directly challenge an interior player like McGee with long arms and excellent jumping.
Picking up the ball and taking a step forward, Li Tian's eyes looked at Cousins on the side, and the ball was pushed towards that side.
"Hey!" McGee smiled secretly when he saw this, he could see that Li Tian was jealous of himself.
Turning around quickly, McGee prepares to defend Cousins, who is about to attack after receiving the ball.
"Coax!" At this moment, the scene suddenly erupted in cheers, which made McGee feel a little inexplicable. Looking at Cousins with wide eyes, seeing Cousins stretching out his hands and preparing to catch the ball, McGee was slightly stunned, this guy hasn't received the ball yet, what are those fans cheering?
"Oops, where's the ball?" Immediately afterward, McGee finally reacted.
Pass feints!
Li Tian made a realistic fake action of passing the ball to Cousins, but the ball did not pass, and at the same time as McGee turned around, Li Tian took a quick step forward with the ball.
"Coax!" Li Tian deceived McGee to attack, and the fans at the scene immediately cheered.
However, immediately after, the Kings fans on the scene stopped cheering, looking at Li Tian on the court full of questions.
"Lee, what are you going to do?"
After deceiving McGee, he took a step forward, and Li Tian stomped heavily on the floor with the soles of his feet, and the man took off into the air with the help of the power of this kick, and at the same time, his hands raised the ball high.
This is not an action to go to the basket, seeing this, the fans on the scene finally reacted, dunk?
"Lee wants a dunk?" The two commentators at the scene couldn't help but exclaim at this moment!
In fact, it was obviously not only them who were surprised, in last season, Li Tian almost never dunked in the game, and the only dunk was when he played Bobcat away, whether it was the impression of these two commentators or the Kings fans at the scene, Li Tian didn't seem to be able to dunk at all, so they were extremely surprised to see Li Tian want to dunk at this moment.
Even the king's players couldn't help but open their mouths wide at the moment, in training, Li Tian would occasionally dunk a basket or something, but once it came to the confrontation, Li Tian didn't dunk.
"Lee wants to dunk! Lee can dunk? ”
The Kings fans who reacted were all wide-eyed at the moment, wondering if they were dazzled, but what happened next told them that it was all real.
"Smash the ball in!" After the pass feint deceived McGee, Li Tian made up his mind, and the improvement of the bounce gave him plenty of confidence.
Taking off into the air and taking off to the front of the basket, Li Tian smashed the basket with the ball with both hands!
Although Li Tian's movements were not too powerful, the firm determination to dunk the ball in made his movements at the moment add a bit of momentum!
"Bang!" With a dull sound from the basket, Li Tian smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!
Slam dunk with both hands! Neat!
Li ............ Sky!!!!!! ”
"Coaxing !!!!" "Oh!!!" The cheers that had paused for a moment rang out again, mixed with many screams, echoing in every corner of the arena!
"Oh! Lee dunked! Lee dunked! Jerry Reynolds also shouted at this moment, "Both hands after passing the feint!" Wow, it turns out that Li still has such a hand! ”
"Wow Wow Wow Wow !!" The Kings players on the sidelines also jumped up from the bench at this moment, and Robinson kept spinning around the sidelines with a towel, looking more excited than his own dunk.
"Roar!!"
As for being on the court, Li Tian, who completed the dunk, roared excitedly with the muscles of his arms at the first moment he fell to the ground, and the feeling of dunking was cool!
