"Li Tian's performance today is really good, 17 points in the half, and there is no problem at all with 20 points today."

"It's not just the score, the few balls on the court are played beautifully, especially the shooting feint, which shook Kobe Bryant straight away!"

At halftime, domestic fans excitedly discussed Li Tian's performance. It is undeniable that Kobe Bryant has a super high popularity in China, and because of this, when they saw that Li Tian was able to perform so well in the confrontation with Kobe, domestic fans were naturally proud and excited.

In the first half of this game, Kobe Bryant scored 19 points, but Li Tian was only 2 points less than Kobe, and he was slightly better in terms of shooting percentage.

In the first half, Li Tian shot 7 of 11, with a shooting rate of nearly 64%, and the three-point shot was also 2 of 4 to reach 50%, and 1 of 1 free throws. Bryant also used 11 shots to score 19 points, but he scored five points from the free throw line, making 6-of-11 shooting, 6-of-7 from the free-throw line and 1-of-3 from three-point range.

With Li Tian's performance in the second half of the second quarter, the Kings, who were originally six points behind, tied the score at 57:57 after the end of the second quarter.

"I hope Li Tianxia will have a good performance in the first half and get high scores, but I still hope that the Lakers will win the game in the end, and now winning every game is too important for the Lakers."

"It doesn't matter who wins or loses, I just hope that Li Tian and Kobe Bryant can continue to play each other in the second half."

Fans in China are divided into two groups, one group wants the Lakers to win the game, and the other group doesn't care about the outcome of the game, they just want the game to look good. However, no matter which faction they are, they all hope that Li Tian can continue to perform well in the second half.

But in Los Angeles, Lakers fans clearly don't think so. The Lakers aren't fully locked up for a playoff spot right now, and they're hungry for the team to win this game. It's just that to the Lakers' surprise, in Kobe's state so well in this game, the Lakers didn't take the lead at the end of the first half, which made them extremely unhappy with Li Tian, who performed well in the first half, and naturally didn't want Li Tian to have any good performance in the first half.

Fifteen minutes of halftime passed quickly, and the two teams returned to the court, perhaps after a mobilization at halftime, and the Lakers showed a desire to win the game from the start of the second half, and their offense was very aggressive. The Lakers scored 10 points in the first three minutes of the second half, and in the entire third quarter, the Lakers also scored 32 points.

However, correspondingly, the Lakers are obviously not doing so well on the defensive end, and Mike D'Antoni's offensive style allows the Lakers to have interior big turns like Howard and defensive strongmen like Kobe and Ci Shiping on the outside, but the team's defensive efficiency is not high.

So although the Lakers scored 32 points in the third quarter, the Kings also scored 29 points, so that the difference between the two teams did not widen too much after the third quarter.

At 86:89, the Kings trailed by three points before entering the fourth quarter.

In this quarter of the game, because Evans and Thomas performed very well on the court, Li Tian only got a 3-minute chance to play at the end of the game, hitting 1 goal twice and scoring 2 points.

In the third quarter of the game, both domestic fans and Lakers fans at Staples Arena were obviously not satisfied, and domestic fans were not satisfied that they did not see Li Tian and Kobe Bryant facing each other in the third quarter, and Kobe Bryant had already rested when Li Tian came on the court. And Li Tian didn't score much, which made Li Tian and Kobe Bryant's score pull apart, after three quarters, Li Tian scored 19 points, and Kobe's score has climbed to 28.

The Lakers fans at the scene were not satisfied that after three quarters, the Lakers still did not establish a big lead.

After entering the fourth quarter, the situation on the court obviously made the fans feel more boring, and after the start of the fourth quarter, both teams had problems with their offense, not only shooting frequently, but also making mistakes. The game lasted nearly 2 minutes, and except for Li Tian who scored 2 points by shooting, no one scored in the game.

Just in time for the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Lakers voluntarily called a timeout. The two teams made lineup adjustments at the same time, and Li Tian was also replaced at this time.

The lineup adjustments of the two sides really worked, and after the main players returned to the court, the Lakers immediately played a wave of 4:0, giving the Lakers a 5-point lead again. And then, on the King's side, Cousins' inside attack also succeeded.

The margin fluctuated between 2 and 5 points, and it was not widened until the last three minutes of the game.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant held the ball outside the three-point line, Gasol lifted the ball and rushed into the three-point line after Gasol lifted it, stopped urgently, and used the change of rhythm to find space to break through from Evans' side, and broke through to the basket.

Seeing that Kobe was about to rush into the restricted area, the Kings' two interior players immediately shrank to the basket to defend, Cousins moved from Howard's side to the three-second zone to block Kobe's forward path, and Jason Thompson, who was standing in the high post, ignored Gasol and rushed to the basket quickly.

The contraction of the King's defense did not let Kobe stop the pace of breakthrough, rushed into the three-second zone, and saw that he was about to hit Cousins directly, Kobe Bryant picked up the ball, took his left foot as the axis, and turned his body quickly, and turned between Evans and Cousins, flashing to the front of the basket.

"Coax!" Kobe Bryant's beautiful turn made the Lakers fans cheer, and in the middle of the court, Thompson rushed forward to jump up to defend, and when Evans and Cousins were thrown away by Kobe's turn, Thompson, who was on defense, became the only Kings player who could interfere with Kobe.

However, the experienced Kobe Bryant had apparently noticed this, turned around and jumped up for a layup, but Bryant did not shoot the ball easily, and only touched his hand when Thompson jumped up and pressed his hand down.

"Smack!" "Tick!" At the same time as Thompson's slap on Kobe's hand, the referee's whistle also sounded, and the defense fouled.

"This is Kobe! Faced with several Kings players defending to the basket and caused a foul on Thompson. Seeing this scene, the domestic commentator couldn't help but sigh.

"Thompson is for the sixth foul and is about to be sent off. Let's see who the king will replace...... Hayes played, eh, Li Tian also played, replacing Thorton! ”

The domestic commentator suddenly raised his voice after saying this, and his words immediately attracted the attention of domestic fans.

After scoring 17 points in the first half, in the second half, Li Tian only scored 4 points, although the score of 21 points was not low, but it also made the domestic fans who were originally full of expectations for Li Tianxia's first half of the game a little disappointed, especially as the game went on, they originally thought that Li Tian would not play again, what they didn't expect was that at the last moment of the game, Li Tian was sent on the court again.

"Li Tian is on the court again, in the last time, is Li Tian and Kobe Bryant again?"

Li Tian's play undoubtedly made domestic fans full of expectations, and he was sent on the court at the last moment of the game, which in itself is enough to explain the problem, and although Li Tian only scored 4 points in the second half, the shooting percentage of 2 of 4 also shows that his offensive state is still good.
