Chapter 177: Return to Kansas (1st Update)
"The King Staged a Shocking Reversal" and "37-Point Reversal, the King Broke the NBA Record......
The game between the Kings and the Pelicans unsurprisingly caused a sensation, and from the moment the game ended, the game dominated the headlines of almost all basketball websites, as well as the headlines of the sports pages of major newspapers on the morning of the 24th local time in the United States.
For the next Christmas war, because the stars of several teams are injured, many fans have no expectations, and even say that they have no desire to watch, so this year's Christmas war is actually not too much attention.
However, to everyone's surprise, before the Christmas game, there was such a game that detonated the discussion of all fans.
Trailing by 37 points, if you count the 7 points won by the Kings at the end, the King's reversal in this game reaches 44 points!
Such an amazing reversal makes every basketball fan very curious, because fans who follow the basketball game know that when a team falls behind by 37 points, it will basically give up the game, but the Kings did not, and finally completed the reversal.
So, with curiosity, many fans have looked for the video of last night's game to watch, and the video of this game, especially the video of the second half of the game, has been rising.
After seeing how much attention fans were paying attention to the game, Yahoo Sports opened up a special topic of discussion about the game: "Why did the Kings pull off the biggest comeback in league history?" ”
As soon as this topic of discussion was published, it immediately attracted a heated discussion among fans, and fans expressed their opinions in the comment area under the topic:
"The Pelicans played terrible in the second half, and they allowed the Kings to play too many counterattacks, which helped the Kings players find offensive form and let them win the game in the end."
"No, I don't think so, I watched the video of the whole game, the Pelicans played very well in the first half, their outside shooting was as good as the Kings in the second half, but after entering the second half, the Pelicans' shooting percentage began to decline, and at this time, the Kings suddenly strengthened their defense, but the Pelicans players were not alert, they still played the game the way they played in the first half, and then the Kings played counterattacks again and again to close the score."
"The Kings' defense is one thing, but while they are doing well defensively, finding their groove in the second half and continuing to score from the outside is the biggest factor in their eventual comeback."
"yes, after Lee hit their first three-pointer of the second half, the Kings players seemed to suddenly have the confidence to shoot, and they kept hitting the ball from the outside, and the Pelicans couldn't stop it."
Most of these fans learned about the game by watching the video afterwards, including fans of the Kings and fans of other teams.
As for Pelican fans, they rarely appear in such a discussion post, perhaps for fear that they will be ridiculed by fans of other teams as soon as they appear.
Of course, there were also Pelican fans who were very brave enough to participate in the discussion, and a Pelican fan who claimed to be watching the game at the scene wrote in the discussion:
"I just sat there and watched the game, but until the team was reversed, I didn't understand how it all happened. Why the Kings made such a big comeback, I have been thinking about it after the game. The first thing to admit is that after taking a big lead, our team started to slacken, with turnovers and missed shots, and the Kings took those opportunities to complete the counterattack and build confidence.
At this point, the team's defensive tactics went awry, and the team chose to protect the restricted area, but the Kings suddenly started to attack from the outside and hit the basket. By the time the team noticed it, the Kings had hit four three-pointers and had fully found their shooting touch.
In the games that followed, our team was disrupted by the onslaught of the opposition, lost in attack, made mistakes in defence, and then conceded victory to the opposition step by step.
It must be admitted that in this game, our opponents played very tenacious, and when the game was big behind, they did not give up, but started from defense and recovered the score step by step. ”
In such discussions, some attribute it to the pelican's negligence, others to the king's own tenacity, and others to blame it as luck.
As the discussion deepened, fans realized that this was a combination of many factors. This kind of discussion has also raised the popularity of this topic, vaguely overshadowing the limelight of the Christmas war, which has been much less anticipated.
As the protagonists of this shocking reversal, the Kings' players naturally paid attention to the reaction of the media and fans, and such a high level of attention from the outside world naturally made them extremely excited.
Li Tian didn't pay too much attention to the reaction of the outside world, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't have time.
Back in Sacramento, Li Tian stayed for only a few hours before boarding the plane again and flying to Lawrence, Kansas. As early as a few days ago, Judy-Annette had a phone call with Li Tian and invited Li Tian to their Christmas Eve dinner.
On the plane, Li Tian seized all the time to catch up on sleep, and naturally he would not pay attention to the reaction of the outside world to this game. Since he started playing games in the NBA, Li Tian has been used to sleeping as soon as he gets on the plane, not to mention that last night's game was quite a big consumption for Li Tian.
Take-off from Sacramento, with a mid-flight connection, landed at Lawrence Airport after a flight of more than five hours.
Lawrence Airport is not big, as Kansas City, 40 miles away, has a large international airport, so it doesn't have a lot of traffic.
After getting off the plane, Li Tian just turned on his mobile phone, and the mobile phone rang wildly.
Most of them were Christmas messages from friends and teammates, Annette sent text messages telling Li Tian that she would pick up the airport at the exit of the airport, and several text messages from Agali, the content of the text messages was the same, that is, to ask Li Tian to call her back after turning on her mobile phone.
After reading all the text messages, Li Tian directly dialed Ajiali's phone, those blessing text messages can be returned later, Annette should be able to see it when she arrives at the exit, only the call back to Ajiali looks more urgent.
"Oh God, Li you finally woke up and called me back." The phone was connected, and Agali's voice came immediately.
"Wake up?" After hearing this, Li Tian couldn't help laughing, "Ajiali, do you think I'm still sleeping?" ”
"Isn't it?" Ajiali was also a little surprised at this time and said, "Didn't you oversleep because you were too tired from yesterday's game?" I called you at seven o'clock in the morning and your phone was turned off. ”
"Well, it's not." Li Tian secretly said in his heart that no wonder Ajiali would think like this, because he had already boarded the plane at half past six, and suddenly remembered that Ajiali had sent several text messages to call him back, Li Tian immediately asked, "You have something to do with me?" ”
"Yes, tonight is Christmas Eve, and I know you're only one in Sacramento, so I'm inviting you to my PARTY."
After hearing Ajiali's words, Li Tian was slightly stunned, and then said in an apologetic voice: "I'm sorry, Ajiali, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not in Sacramento right now." ”
"You're not in Sacramento?" Ajiali asked again in surprise.
"Yes, I'm in Lawrence right now, just got off the plane." Li Tian replied, and as he said this, Li Tian had almost walked to the exit, and through the glass, he saw Judy Annette standing outside, and Annette had obviously seen him too, and was waving to him with a smile on her face.
"Do you have a company for Christmas Eve?"
Agali asked again, and Li Tian waved his hand to greet Judy Annette and replied, "Yes, I went to a friend's house party, right next to the university I attended. ”
"Oh, that's good!" Ajiali's voice at this time was a little lost, but it was difficult for people to hear it, and Li Tian, who was greeting Annette, didn't notice it.
"Have a great day and Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas!" As soon as Li Tianhua spoke, he found that his mobile phone had been hung up. was stunned, at this time, he suddenly noticed that Agali seemed to be in a bad mood, looking at the phone, he was thinking about whether to call the phone back, Annette had already walked over quickly.
"Oh my God, you're finally here!"
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" After hearing Annette's words, Li Tian put away his phone and asked.
"Well, about half an hour." As soon as she finished speaking, Annette thought of this and seemed to be too anxious to see Li Tian, and waved her hand in a hurry: "No, it shouldn't be so long, about ten minutes." ”
"Oh, good thing the plane wasn't late." Li Tian heard Annette's change of words, but he didn't see through it, he just said with a smile.
Annette also knew that her change of tone was too obvious at this time, so she immediately changed the topic and said: "Yes, let's go, great, the driver is here, I can finally stop driving by myself." ”
"Judy, I just found out that you are so lazy, except that you like to sleep, there seems to be nothing else you are too willing to do, be careful that you are fat and piggy."
"What did you say?"
"Well, I mean, you're dressed very nicely today."
"Humph!" Annette snorted softly, took two steps forward, and then suddenly turned back and asked, "Is what you just said true?" ”
"Of course, you are very beautiful every day, but today ...... It's beautiful! ”
"Put away your rhetoric and let's go, driver." Throwing the car keys to Li Tian, Annette continued to walk forward, but a smile involuntarily appeared between the corners of her mouth.
