"Oh my God, I watched your game yesterday and wow, it was awesome, that shot at the end was so cool."

Listening to Judy-Annette's pleasant and excited voice on the other end of the phone, Li Tian laughed slightly.

“…… You'll have to give me some autographs the next time we meet, those nasty guys don't even believe I know you. ”

Judy-Annette's voice continued on the other end of the phone, and Li Tian immediately replied after hearing it: "Of course, you can have as many as you want, well, a hundred?" ”

"A hundred? That's too much, I only need 5, no, 3. Judy-Annette muttered quietly, then raised her voice and said, "Only one." ”

"One?" Li Tian asked in some surprise, just now Judy-Annette was still talking about asking for some.

"Yes, just send one to me. Those pesky guys don't believe me, and I'm not going to bring them any autographs. Judy-Annette explained to Li Tian.

Hearing Judy-Annette's slightly childish words, Li Tian immediately smiled and said, "Of course, you have the final say." ”

The two chatted for a while, and when they talked about the last half month of the regular season, Judy Annette asked, "Oh my God, are you still in Sacramento after the season?" I went to Los Angeles on summer vacation. ”

Li Tian thought for a while and said, "If nothing else, I will stay in Sacramento most of the time. ”

"That's great, Sacramento is close to Los Angeles." Judy-Annette said happily that although she had already told Li Tian that she would go to Los Angeles during the summer vacation, she was still happy to know that Li Tian would spend most of her time in Sacramento.

The summer vacation at NYU starts around May 16 and doesn't start until early September, which is also the NBA offseason, and of course, this is only for teams like the Kings who don't have to play in the playoffs.

Because of the poor results in the early stage, although the performance of the Kings in March was not bad, it was obvious that the playoffs were not with the Kings.

Now among the teams in the West, the Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers, and Warriors have basically determined that they are playoff teams, and the remaining two spots are mainly competing between the Lakers, Rockets and Jazz.

In this case, when the Lakers come to Sacramento to face the Kings again, the desire to win is naturally more and more intense.

Because the two teams played each other a day ago, they are also familiar with each other, and Li Tian, the number one contributor to the King's previous game win, has naturally become the focus of the Lakers.

In the previous game, Li Tian's quasi-stunner was still fresh in the memory of Lakers players.

From the beginning of Li Tian's play, Kobe Bryant tried his best to defend, even if Li Tian was able to get rid of Kobe's defense through the cover of his teammates, the other players of the Lakers were also very good at making up the defense.

In the face of such strong defensive pressure, Li Tian was naturally limited in terms of offense, and Jim Ain also consciously arranged Li Tian to attract the Lakers' defensive firepower and create opportunities for his teammates.

In this game, the Lakers did a very good job both on the offensive end and on the defensive end, especially on the defensive end, which was a great improvement from the previous game, and at the end of the game, the Kings only scored 96 points, while in the previous game, the Kings scored 114 points.

Li Tian was limited a lot in terms of offense in this game, but with a fairly good touch, he also seized several offensive opportunities, played 22 minutes, scored 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting, and scored 3 of the three goals scored, but two of them were 3 points.

After the loss to the Lakers, the Kings finished their March game with a 28-46 record, and the Kings still need to play eight more games in the final half of the regular season.

These eight games are not so easy to play, and after entering April, the Kings first encountered two playoff teams, one is the Clippers and the other is the Spurs.

The game against the Clippers was extremely close, and in the end, the Kings lost to the Clippers by 3 points. The Kings don't have much resistance to the Spurs, and the Kings have lost the first two encounters with the Spurs this season, and this time it's the same, and the two consecutive losses have also made the Kings suffer three consecutive defeats.

The Kings' next few opponents are also Western teams, the Mavericks, Hornets, and Grizzlies, among which the Mavericks, who are ranked tenth in the West, still have a very small probability of entering the playoffs, and the Hornets are determined to miss the playoffs, while the Grizzlies have steadily won the ticket to the Western Conference playoffs and are now ranked fifth in the West.

The Mavericks are working hard, and they still want to fight if they still have some hope of making the playoffs, but the Kings, who have already experienced the feeling of winning before, are also unwilling to just stop after three consecutive losses.

In the end, with all six Kings scoring double-doubles, they repelled the Mavericks by six points at home.

Although Cousins, the king's highest-scoring scorer in this game, only scored 18 points, and no one scored 20 points in the whole game, but in addition to Cousins, Li Tian, Evans, and Thomas all scored 16 points, while Thorton and Garcia also scored 12 and 14 points respectively.

The game against the Hornets is easier to win, this game, Eric Gordon and Li Tian duel is also a highlight, Li Tian previously hit Gordon in the Hornets home court a block to break the bridge of the nose, so that the two of the beam knot deeply, again, Gordon very much hopes to be able to teach Li Tian a good lesson.

It's a pity that the current Li Tian is not a lesson that everyone can learn, on the defensive end, although Li Tian is subject to physical confrontation and is not very effective when defending the opponent's strong burst, but the agility and speed of the A-level make Li Tian's flexibility and movement speed are very good, coupled with good defensive awareness, he has a very good performance in defensive blocking, running without the ball, and assisting in defense.

As for the offense, unless the whole team cooperates, it is basically impossible for one person to lock Li Tian's running position, and the S-level mid-range shooting and three-point shooting also give him a very stable shooting touch.

20 points, Li Tian's score went up to 20 again, and the shooting rate also reached 50 percent, although Gordon on the opposite side also scored 24 points in this game, but it really couldn't teach Li Tian a lesson, not to mention that the king won the game in the end.

The Grizzlies are a good defensive team, and they limited the Kings to 90 games, but their offense was a little worse than that, scoring just 86 points in the game.

Three wins in a row! After a three-game losing streak, the Kings went on a three-game winning streak to improve their record to 31-48.

Losing to the Thunder, winning to the Cavaliers, the Kings went one win and one loss in the next two games, and their record became 32-49, and they have ended 81 of the 82 games in the regular season.

Approaching the end of the regular season, the most concerned about the entire league is the playoffs and various awards, although the Kings are determined to not enter the playoffs, but these two important things are related to the Kings, and one of them is also closely related to Li Tian.
