Chapter 170: External Recovery!

The Pelicans fans on the scene shouted happily, and the Pelicans players in the court didn't care too much, the advantage psychology and lax consciousness generated by the huge lead can not be cleared in a short period of time, in them, even if the Kings scored three consecutive offenses, they still have a 31-point advantage.

On the other hand, although the lag is still very large, and the face is still a bottomless pit, but after the continuous counterattack, the king's morale is high.

After the Pelicans came to the halfcourt offense, they once again felt the tough defense of the Kings.

Anthony Davis was attacking with the ball head-on, and in front of him was Cousins, and after shaking the ball and making a feint, Davis dribbled towards the basket.

Against Cousins, Davis didn't have an advantage in the low post, and he could only use the frontal break to find offensive opportunities.

"Porphyry!" Davis had barely taken a step before he was immediately pinned down by Cousins' strong body, and on the side, Middleton had already made up for it.

In the face of the King's tough defense, Davis had no choice but to pass the ball back to Aminu on the outside.

Middleton's return defense was very fast, almost the next moment Aminu received the ball, he was already in place, so that Aminu did not dare to shoot directly, but handed the ball to Gordon on the line.

The ball turned in the hands of the Pelicans players, but in the face of the active defense of the Kings players, the Pelicans players were slow to get a chance to shoot, and seeing that there were only 3 seconds left in the offensive time, Gordon, who was dribbling the ball outside the three-point line, forced a shot.

In front of Gordon, Li Tian jumped high and stretched out his long arms, making sure he didn't foul himself and bring as much interference as possible to the opponent.

"Bang!"

As Adelman expected, in the face of the Kings' strong defense, the Pelicans players' grip began to decline, and Lady Luck didn't always follow them, the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced, and Iguodala picked the rebound steadily.

"Ball!"

Iguodala had just grabbed the rebound, and at this time, Li Tian and Gordon, who were closest to the outside, had already rushed to the frontcourt.

Iguodala didn't let Li Tian wait for a long time, and when he looked up and saw Li Tian asking for the ball in the front court, the ball in his hand was immediately thrown out.

After receiving the ball, he rushed forward to the three-point line, and found that Gordon in front of him was still retreating, Li Tian immediately stopped and jumped up to shoot!

Three points! Li Tian chose a three-point shot!

In the first half, the Kings shot 1 of 10 three-pointers, and the poor feel of the outside shot was an important factor in their backwardness, so he did not hesitate to choose a three-point shot after finding a good opportunity.

Li Tian's choice attracted the attention of the whole team of the Kings, not only Li Tian, but the whole team of the Kings knew that if they wanted to chase points, they had to shoot from the outside, and now, Li Tian, the team's most reliable three-point player, shot their first three-pointer in the second half!

"Get in!" "Get in!"

Staring at the basketball flying out of Li Tian's hand, the Kings' players secretly thought in their hearts, and head coach Adelman also secretly thought in their hearts, they both knew that this ball was crucial for the Kings players to regain their shooting confidence.

Until......

"Huh!"

The crisp sound injected into the body of the king players like a stimulant, making every cell of them excited, and they jumped up one by one, more excited and excited than just now!

9:0, in the past 1 minute and 30 seconds, the king played a wave of 9:0 small climax.

The recovery of the outside line means that the king's counterattack has officially begun!

"Tick!" Pelicans head coach Monty Williams, who was on the sidelines, finally sensed something was wrong at this time and quickly called a timeout.

"Well done, guys, defend well and we'll find a lot of counter-attacking opportunities." Li Tian and others walked off the field and were immediately praised by their teammates and coaches.

Speaking of this, Adelman's voice changed again: "But, don't forget, we are still 28 points behind!" It's still our best chance, and we're going to take every opportunity to chase the points while the guy on the other side is slack. ”

"Tyrek, DeMarcus, back on the court, the first round you play to block and dismantle the basket, no matter how good the outside opportunity is, resolutely attack the basket! We have to make the guys on the other side think we're still the main offense and make them shrink the line. ”

"Then, we continue to counterattack, and in the positional attack, the main attack is on the outside!"

………………

As he spoke, Adelman drew a few offensive outline tactics on the board.

"Boys, I know you've been suppressed for a half, and I'm sure your grip has recovered, go ahead and tell the guy on the other side how high our king's fighting spirit is! 15 points, after this quarter, the difference must be within 15 points! If anyone thinks this task can't be done, then come and sit down and tell me now, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" The Kings' players collectively let out a loud roar, and no one dared to say no at this time, unless he wanted to be pressed directly to the bench by Adelman.

On the Kings' side, Adelman is constantly motivating his players, while on the other end, Pelicans head coach Williams is constantly reminding his players to stay focused.

"Focus! We need to stay focused! The guys on the other side are causing us a bit of a problem in attack and defence right now, but it's okay, we still have a huge lead, we don't need to panic, stay focused and play a little bit more consistent......"

There wasn't much tension on the Pelicans up and down, as evidenced by the reaction of the fans on the sidelines and the relaxed expressions on the faces of the Pelicans players when they came on the court.

This is especially true after the Pelicans have completed one offense and one defense.

After returning to the halfcourt, the Pelicans still faced the King's very targeted pressing defense, but Gordon took advantage of Davis's block and rushed to the interior to rely on Cousins for a layup with his excellent individual ability.

The Kings' offense was defended by the Pelicans, Evans and Cousins played a pick-and-roll cooperation, according to Adelman's intentions, Cousins received Evans' pass and attacked the basket, but in the face of Davis and Anderson's two-man defense failed to hit.

At 46:76, the Pelicans still hold a 30-point lead. The effect of the previous round was very good, and after coming to the offensive end, the Pelicans played the pick-and-roll cooperation again, only this time, it was Holiday and Anderson who played the pick-and-roll.

The two guys played a lot of pick-and-rolls in the first half, and Anderson's shooting from beyond the three-point line was also very lethal, which undoubtedly made Pelicans fans full of anticipation.

Anderson blocked, Holiday dribbled and moved from the right side, but Evans did not choose to follow Holiday but stuck to Anderson's side, and Iguodala flashed out from behind Anderson and stopped directly in front of Holiday.

Switching defenses, Iguodala and Evans opted for a direct switch.

Anderson was stuck by Evans and naturally couldn't catch the ball and shoot, and in the face of Iguodala's defense, Holiday also stopped the pace of breaking forward, so that the two players who played the Pelicans blocked and dismantled had no chance to attack.

However, Anderson also realized that he had a huge advantage over Evans, and instead of staying outside the three-point line, he quickly moved towards the baseline and then stuck Evans outside the three-second zone.

Holiday passed the ball to Anderson, but at the same time, Cousins rushed over and started to wrap up on the side.

Anderson was a little flustered in the face of the sudden pack, he knew that he had to pass the ball at this time, but Cousins' long arms constantly waving above and Evans's constant harassment in the lower set made it impossible for him to pass the ball calmly.

In desperation, Anderson threw the ball hard towards Aminu in the distance, but in the double sandwich, Anderson's passing power was not grasped well, and the basketball flew directly out of the sideline.

"Attack!"

After another successful defense of the Pelicans' offense, the Kings looked at Evans, who was dribbling past half court, and Evans made a gesture that was the tactical command of Adelman's outside offense.

Cousins quickly lifted to the outside to block the pick-and-roll, and it all seemed to be the same as the previous ball, Evans rushed into the three-point line with the help of Cousins' cover, and Cousins also quickly cut to the basket after completing the pick-and-roll.

The Pelicans' interior line is still habitually contracted, but Evans didn't break so deep this time, rushed halfway, the ball in his hand was thrown out, and outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, Li Tianti, who was still in the bottom corner, picked up the ball.

Li Tian had already shot a three-pointer before, which somewhat alerted Gordon, so after seeing Li Tian catch the ball outside the three-point line, he quickly followed.

However, Li Tian also did not choose a three-point shot, moving along the three-point line to the top of the arc on the right side, he dribbled the ball and ran a step after receiving the ball, and after opening up a little distance with Gordon, the dribble broke through and rushed forward from the left side.

Gordon was busy keeping up quickly, and Aminu, who followed Middleton to the top of the arc, also moved quickly to help the defense. Because at this moment, Holiday was taken to the bottom corner of the right corner by Evans, and Davis was also taken away by Cousins, who cut to the basket and moved to the left baseline, and there was a defensive vacuum area in the middle of the Pelicans, which made Aminu immediately give up defending his opposing player and chose to help defend.

Pass! Li Tian waited for this moment, rushing across the free throw line with Aminu and Gordon, and the ball in his hand was thrown backwards and sent to Middleton outside the three-point line.

A big vacant seat! No Pelicans player can make up for it at this time, Adelman's tactics are successful, and at this moment, Middleton is in the open position!

Without hesitation, Middleton made a decisive shot outside the three-point line!

Middleton's shot was just like Li Tian's previous shot, which attracted the attention of the whole team of the Kings, and everything that happened before was executed in accordance with Adelman's tactical arrangement, Middleton's shot not only determined whether Adelman's tactics of changing to the main offensive outside were correct, but also determined whether the King's outside shooting really recovered.

When they saw the basketball flying from the top of the arc and flying straight towards the basket in an arc, the eyes of all the Kings players began to shine!

"Huh!"

Another crisp voice sounded, three points, enter!

"Cast beautifully!"

Although there was no loud shouting in celebration, the Kings players all shouted at this moment.

The reason why there is not much celebration is because they are worried that the Pelicans will recognize their team's offensive tactics of switching to the perimeter too early, and the Pelicans have not yet realized this, and they still think it is just a very ordinary goal.

However, it soon ......

"Watch out for the perimeter defense!" Standing on the sidelines, Pelicans head coach Wilmans yelled into the court.

Williams finally realized that something was wrong, because after then defending the Pelicans' offense, the Kings hit another three-pointer on the offensive end, this time with Iguodala.

At this time, the Kings' players are getting more and more excited, hitting three three-pointers in a row, and they are shot by different players, announcing the full recovery of the King's outside feel!

The full recovery of the outside feel of the Kings players also means that the King's counterattack has been pushed to a climax from the official beginning!
