In the puzzlement of the commentator, in the worry of the fans at the scene, and in the resentment of Thomas and Thorton, Li Tian played until the middle of the third quarter and sat off the court with 8 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.

Then he rested for about half a quarter off the court, returned to the court after the start of the fourth quarter, and then played on the court for 4 minutes before returning to the off-court rest.

In these four minutes, Li Tian missed a shot, but the Nuggets defended for three seconds once, and Li Tian hit a free throw.

"Lee didn't play very well today, he had a lot of really good shots but didn't take them, and if Lee could have hit two or three shots, DeMarcus and Tyrek would have been able to get more opportunities to attack the basket, and the Kings might have established an absolute lead by now."

Even if Li Tian was sitting on the sidelines, he was still being discussed by the commentators, in their opinion, if Li Tian's hit rate was a little higher today, maybe the king would not have to fight so hard.

In fact, from the beginning of the game, the Kings were in the lead for most of the time, and although they were overtaken by the Nuggets a few times in the middle, they quickly regained the lead.

However, the Nuggets also played very well today, without one of the leading scorers on the perimeter, Gallinari, Lawson played extremely well today, with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, he had 27 points and 10 assists, and the rest of the players, the half-orc Faried who came off the bench, scored 15 points, and two point guard veterans Andre Miller and Nate Robinson also scored 13 points.

The play of these people allowed the Nuggets to still bite the score at 87-92 and have the ball at this time.

Lawson controlled the ball outside the three-point line, facing Isaiah Thomas, who bent over to defend, Lawson did not choose to force a breakthrough, and after passing the ball to Foye to transition, Lawson, who was moving towards the basket, suddenly rushed out and returned to the three-point line, and took the basketball in Foye's hands.

Breaking through, when Thomas also rushed back to near the three-point line, Lawson dribbled directly to the basket.

Thomas's reaction was not slow, and he quickly turned his body to follow the defense, but this still couldn't stop Lawson, and he didn't even have a chance to fully defend himself.

Finding space to break through from Thomas's side, Lawson sprinted straight to the basket.

Seeing that Thomas's defense was basically ineffective against Lawson, Cousins immediately moved to the three-second zone to prepare for the defense.

Rushing into the three-second zone, Lawson ushered in Cousins' defense, knowing that it was not wise to eat Cousins directly, Lawson took a sudden step to the left, flashed past Cousins, and then jumped up, twisted his body in the air, and made a backhand layup.

"Tick!" Cousins was busy jumping sideways and waving his hand to interfere, but he still couldn't stop Lawson's layup, and instead took a foul.

played three points, Lawson successfully hit a free throw, completing 2+1, which also made the score of the two teams directly 90:92, and the difference was only 2 points.

"Tick!" Without any hesitation, Adelman called a timeout.

"Rick Adelman called a timeout with only three minutes left in the game, and it was clear that he needed to set up his team's tactics in the closing stages, but Rick may not make any changes to the lineup, Isaiah was better than Lee tonight, and if there are concerns about his defensive problems, Isaiah and Terek can choose to switch guards."

Jerry Reynolds on the sidelines was saying this, and on the bench, Thomas was stunned to look at Adelman, who just a moment ago had made changes to the team's lineup, and he was replaced, and it was ...... Li Tian!

Thomas was extremely unhappy, in the case of Li Tian's hand feeling so bad today, Adelman actually chose to let Li Tian replace him at the last moment, which is enough to show Adelman's trust in Li Tian, which undoubtedly deeply stimulated Thomas.

"Damn, how did you let this guy go to the court, did you want him to smash the basket?" Although Thomas didn't say it, he was secretly cursing in his heart.

The fans and commentators on the sidelines were also puzzled at the moment, and Grant Napier frowned and said: "I'm surprised that Rick Adelman would replace Lee on the court at this time, is it just because of defense, you must know that Lee didn't shoot well today, at this time, his help on the offensive end is not comparable to Isaiah." ”

"Yes, if there is an option to replace Isiah, it seems like a better option to bring in Marcus Thorton, who shot 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line today." Jerry Reynolds also said with great confusion at the moment.

However, their doubts and incomprehension did not change the established fact, that is, Li Tian returned to the court.

The Kings attacked, and the ball came to Evans, who initially held the ball, in the back and forth transmission, and the Nuggets' defensive intensity had also come up at this time, and they did not give the Kings too easy offensive opportunities.

Dribbling straight inside, and seeing that time was running out for offense, Evans opted for a layup himself.

McGee came to help with the defense, and although Evans dodged his long arm and didn't get blocked, the ball bounced off the basket.

The Nuggets grabbed the ball and counterattacked, but they also failed to succeed and were defended by the Kings.

Both teams couldn't score for a while, leaving the score deadlocked at 90:92, and the game time was reduced slightly, with only 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the blink of an eye.

The ball was in Evans' hands, and after half-time, Evans still chose to hand the ball to Cousins, who was in the high post, and Adelman set up such a tactic during the timeout just now.

After Evans passed, Li Tian, who was originally outside the three-point line on the right side, quickly moved towards the top of the arc, and Evans, who started from the top of the arc and cut to the basket, made a cross run.

Interfered by Li Tian's running, Lawson was unable to keep up with Evans in time, which allowed Evans to find space to cut into, and rushed directly to the three-point line to the basket.

Cousins passed the ball, and after Evans rushed to the free throw line, the ball in Cousins' hand passed to Evans' hand, and at the same time, the man moved towards the right mid-range behind Evans, so that McGee could not directly return to the basket to help defend.

The Nuggets' defense immediately shrank at the moment, Fournier defending Iguodala on the outside, Hickson defending Thompson in the middle distance, and Li Tianfuye at the top of the arc are all moving towards the interior at this moment.

Realizing that he had succeeded in drawing defenders away from his teammates, Evans threw the ball hard and sent it to Iguodala from beyond the three-point line.

Fournier and Foye, who were still moving inside, rushed towards Iguodala at the moment, and Iguodala had the ability to score three points today.

The two were not slow to react, and they rushed fiercely, and by the time Iggy received the ball, the two were already rushing to the front.

Iguodala also noticed this, but the forward rush of the two made Iguodala realize that his teammate at the top of the arc had a chance, so while receiving the ball, he pushed it with both hands and sent the ball to the top of the arc.

"It's Lee?" After Iguodala passed the ball, he realized that it was Li Tian who didn't shoot well today, but he couldn't change it at this time.

"Lee received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and he didn't shoot well today, but he still made a ......"

Li Tian received the pass, which was not a tactic arranged by Adelman, in Adelman's arrangement, Iguodala or Cousins was the end point of the offense, but the Nuggets' defense made neither of them have a chance to attack, so the ball passed to his hands.

At this time, Li Tian's chances are obviously very good, Foye has not been able to return to defense, although he rushed over, but Li Tian is basically still in a big vacancy.

Almost without hesitation, Li Tian jumped up and chose to make a move, the opportunity had already come out, and it was fleeting, and he didn't have much choice.

Seeing Li Tian's shot, the fans at the scene were nervous, after all, Li Tian's shooting on the outside today was too bad, and he hadn't shot a single ball in the middle and long distances.

"Lee's three points, at the critical moment, can Lee throw in?"

Grant Napier just finished shouting, and then said regretfully: "Still missing, Lee today's ...... Frontcourt rebounds ......"

In the sighs of the Kings fans, Li Tian's shot smashed into the front of the basket and missed.

Players on both sides were also ready to scramble for frontcourt rebounds, so they both squeezed towards the basket, but the ball bounced quickly after hitting the front and bounced back towards the outside, only slightly off the top of the arc.

After the ball was shot, Li Tian already felt that the ball was going to be lost, so he was also ready to rush, and when he saw the basketball bounce over, he quickly rushed out to the right and reached out to grab the ball.

There was also Foye who was doing the same action, and he was just about to rush to Li Tian, and he quickly rushed towards the basketball.

"The ball is mine!" With a loud roar in his heart, Li Tian used his strongest explosive power and rushed forward quickly.

I have wasted too many opportunities today, and this second opportunity to attack must not be lost!

Half a step ahead of Feye, coupled with his better height and reach, Li Tian's fingers were the first to touch the basketball.

Five fingers clenched, while touching the ball, Li Tian quickly grabbed the ball in his hand, and at the same time pulled to the side, and his body also turned quickly, leaving his back to Foye, not giving the opponent the slightest chance to grab the ball.

"Frontcourt rebounding...... Plum! Lee snatched back the rebound! ”

While the commentator shouted, the fans were also slightly relieved, but then they became nervous again.

Foye was not able to grab the rebound, but he rushed very fiercely, trying to grab the ball in Li Tian's hand directly, but Li Tian's quick turn made him pounce directly, and he rushed too violently at this time The soles of his feet were not very neat, and Li Tian, who was rotated, lost his center of gravity, although Foye tried to rush forward and try to stabilize his body, but he still fell to the floor.

Turning around and carrying the ball to the three-point line, Li Tian turned around to see that Foye had fallen to the ground, and there were no defenders in front of him.

Glancing at the basket, Li Tian jumped up and threw the ball again!

"Lee is shooting again, it's still a three-pointer!"

Although everyone could see that Li Tian was a good opportunity, thinking of Li Tian's previous shooting touch, not many people cheered for his choice, and all the fans were nervously looking at the basketball that had flown out.

"Can Lee throw in?" The fans looked at the basketball in the air and felt very bottomless.

Li Tian was also looking at the basketball, if it was before, after the ball was shot, he would be able to roughly confirm the result of the ball by feeling, but at this moment, he could only stare at it with both eyes.

"Enter! Be sure to enter! On the sidelines, Ajiali clasped her hands to her chest and read in her mouth.

Under the basket, the players were huddled together, ready to grab the rebound, but ......

"Huh!"

The ball is in!

"Yay!" Listening to the voice that had not been seen for a long time, Li Tian clenched his right fist and swung it out vigorously.

"Entered!" On the sidelines, Agali jumped up directly.

"Coax!" The rest of the Kings fans also stood up almost at the same time, they had forgotten Li Tian's previous crazy iron, they only knew that the goal had been scored, and the Kings had a 5-point lead.

"The ball is in! Lee finally seized the opportunity at the crucial moment and hit a three-pointer to help the Kings stretch the score, and the balance of victory was tilting in favor of the Kings. ”

"Good vote!" "Lee, well done!" When the Nuggets paused, Li Tian, who walked off the court, ushered in the praise of his teammates and coaches, and this praise made Li Tian feel relieved, although he felt cold today, but fortunately, after all, he was not completely messed up.

1 minute, 5 points, is not very big, but it is enough.

In the final 1 minute, the Nuggets were unable to play a high score, 92-97, and until the end of the game, it was still a 5-point difference. The Kings won the second game of the season and won their second straight game!
