Chapter Fifty-Six: Two Dollars in a Row!
"Li Tian is on the field!"
The domestic commentator conveyed the news to the fans who were watching the live broadcast for the first time, and the domestic fans who were originally watching the offensive battle between the two teams were also more and more excited at this time.
"Li Tian is finally on the field, it's best to play in the form of the previous game!"
"Li Tian's shooting is good, but Thompson and Curry on the opposite side are also very strong, it's better to have an outside match, wow quack!"
At this time, Li Tian had already stepped onto the court, facing Klay Thompson, a scoring guard who also had excellent shooting ability.
After Li Tian came on the court, Thompson also glanced at Li Tian, and Li Tian's performance has gradually attracted the attention of other teams in the league, so before the game, the Warriors' coach and head coach Mark Jackson also reminded the players to pay attention to Li Tian's defense.
But to Thompson's surprise, he remembered that there was no such person as Li Tian in his previous fight with the king.
"This guy is so powerful?" Thompson expressed doubts, but he had a good personality, and although he had doubts in his heart, he did not say anything to hit Li Tian.
After seeing Stephen Curry dribbling in this direction, Thompson immediately started running to open up space for Curry.
Curry played against Evans, both of whom were rookies in the class of '09 and had competed for the best rookie, and finally Evans beat Curry to become the rookie of that class. But in the past two years, Evans's performance has been far less brilliant than his rookie season, and Curry's past two seasons have exploded after a season plagued by injuries, and the situation of the two has completely reversed, which can't help but be a big surprise.
Outside the three-point line, Curry constantly dribbles the ball to look for offensive opportunities, and he obviously has a strong offensive desire against Evans, who is in the same class.
After a series of dribble shaking, Curry found an opportunity from Evans' defense to rush to the three-point line, and Evans was not slow to react, quickly following up to stick to Curry who broke through.
Curry didn't give Evans such a chance, pulling the ball back with his left hand and sending it to his back, and while a back dribble put the ball on his right hand, Curry also stepped back and distanced himself from Evans.
With a slight tiptoe on his toes, Curry stepped on the three-point line and threw the ball out before Evans could pounce.
Curry's shot was so fast that Evans didn't have time to make defensive moves, and when he reacted, Curry had already shot the ball in his hand.
"Huh!" Despite the difficulty of the ball, the arc is very good, and it goes straight through the net.
"It's so soft." Seeing Curry's shot from afar, Li Tian couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then he became excited, the two players on the opposite side, whether it was Thompson and Curry, were very good at medium and long range shooting, but his current medium and long-range shooting was first-class in the league, even compared with the two.
At 21:26, after Curry's shot, the difference between the two teams was widened to 5 points, and the Kings have not scored for two consecutive rounds, and if this continues, the difference may be further widened.
On the sidelines, Jim Ain also knew this, so after calling Li Tian to play, he did not sit down, but stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle.
It was a clear sign that the Kings didn't dare to slack off, and after Evans dribbled to the half, the rest of the players began to move.
At this time, Evans, who dribbled to the halfcourt, did not wait for his teammates to complete the tactical run, but directly dribbled to the basket, and it was obvious that Curry's ball just now had stimulated him.
On the sidelines, Jim Ain's brow furrowed slightly, as if he was not very happy with Evans' choice, because at the same time, Li Tian and Thorton both gained good positions through tactical running.
However, the Warriors' defense did not feel relaxed at this time, and the confrontation between Curry and Evans still suffered a little on the defensive end, Evans's strong body was not comparable to Curry's, and under Evans' almost savage forced impact, Curry quickly fell out of position.
Seeing that Evans was about to break through Curry's defense and enter the basket, the rest of the Warriors' players were busy shrinking the defense.
Opportunity! Thompson's attention was also drawn to the alignment between Evans and Curry, and Li Tian was keenly aware that this was a great opportunity, and he ran again after not receiving a pass after the tactical run, and rushed to the right three-point line, which was within Evans' line of sight.
The Warriors' contraction forced Evans to stop in the three-second zone, and when he raised his head, he just saw Li Tian running outside the three-point line, and there was no defender in front of him.
"Well passed!" Reaching out to take the basketball, Li Tian secretly shouted in his heart, although Li Tian's grasp of the timing of the run was in place to take the lead, but Evans' timely pass still made Li Tian admire.
After Li Tian ran away, Thompson found that after reacting, he rushed over quickly, but the distance was too far for him to stop Li Tian from catching the ball, seeing that Li Tian was about to jump up and shoot, he immediately jumped up with the help of inertia, and while jumping in front of Li Tian, his right hand waved vigorously, trying to interfere with Li Tian in this way.
But is such interference useful?
Undoubtedly, no!
Li Tian, who had just completed the upgrade, was feeling hot at this time, coupled with the comfortable rhythm of the ball, Li Tian made a conclusion for the ball almost when the ball was thrown, there is!
"Huh!" The next moment, a crisp sound told Li Tian that his judgment was correct.
Li Tian three-pointer...... Entered! Beautiful, it was a crucial goal! ”
It was a very important goal for the Kings, who had not scored in two consecutive rounds and the margin had been stretched to five points. After this goal was scored, Jim Aine on the sidelines also relaxed a little.
The Warriors' offense, Stephen Curry dribbled to outside the three-point line and tried to attack himself again, this time, Evans did not give him another chance, clinging to Curry, using his strength to press Curry's uneasy dribble.
David Lee helped Curry get rid of Evans' entanglement on the pick-and-roll, misplaced against Hayes, Curry obviously played more calmly, dribbling the ball twice in a row, shaking Hayes' center of gravity, Curry suddenly accelerated to the basket.
"Demakuri, him!" Li Tian, who was outside the three-point line, couldn't rush to the basket to defend at this time, but his eyes lit up at this time, Curry hit the basket to make a layup, and Cousins had already returned to the basket at this time.
Jumping up from the side, Cousins waved his big hand over Curry's head, and when Curry found out that Cousins was going to block, he couldn't dodge anymore.
"Smack!" Curry took a step forward, but after all, he still didn't avoid Cousins' big hand, and the ball was slapped by Cousins on the rebound.
The basketball fell and was picked up by Hayes, who followed up, and at the same time, Li Tian quickly turned around and ran to the other half court.
Li Tian and Thornton were on the fast attack, while Klay Thompson and Barnes were quick to retreat to the backcourt. The ball was in Evans' hands at this point, dribbling the ball forward, and after reaching the halfway line, Evans's ball was quickly pushed out.
"Lee, catch the ball!"
The basketball flew into the hands of Li Tian, who was one step away from the three-point line, and at this time, Thorton had already rushed into the three-point line from the other end.
Receiving the ball and rushing forward, Li Tian's eyes looked at Thorton who rushed to the basket, Klay Thompson was not deceived by Li Tian's eyes, his eyes continued to focus on Li Tian, and then retreated into the three-point line, ready to block Li Tian from killing the basket.
But at this moment, Klay Thompson saw Li Tian actually stop outside the three-point line, and he jumped.
"Oops!" Seeing this, Klay Thompson immediately understood what Li Tian was going to do, stopped, and tried to rush back to the three-point line to defend Li Tian's shot, but it was too late.
Receiving the ball, stepping forward, and when he was about to step on the three-point line on his toes, Li Tian stopped, jumped with the ball in both hands, and shot three-point!
"Huh!" With everyone watching, the basketball once again brushed the net.
Three-pointer, score!
