Chapter 146: The King's Counterattack!

"Li Tian's supplemental buckle, this is too rare!" In China, both commentators and fans are still discussing Li Tian's goal.

But the two managers on the sidelines are more concerned about the scores of the two sides.

Rivers rose from the sidelines, but didn't call a timeout, as the team still had an eight-point lead and possession of the ball.

Rivers' calmness was not unreasonable, and the Clippers' subsequent offense was successful, and Paul and Griffin blocked and dismantled their own mid-range jumpers to help the team score 2 points, and also widened the gap between the two sides to 10 points again.

Evans dribbled to the halfcourt and played Cousins again on a pick-and-roll, and then Evans dribbled to the basket himself.

Unlike the previous feint to break through and actually pass the ball to Li Tian, this time, Evans' breakthrough was very resolute, and it was completely like he was going to score inside.

Evans burst deep and slammed straight into the three-second zone, forcing the Clippers' defense to shrink.

In the face of the two shots, Evans did not choose to attack, he handed the ball to Cousins, who was vacated at this time because Jordan Jr. contracted his defense.

Cousins' jumper in the high post was also very lethal, which made Clippers small forward Jarred Dudley, who was not far away, busy rushing to make up for the defense.

However, Cousins didn't choose to make a shot, and the ball was dipped away, and by the time Dudley rushed forward, the ball had already been transferred to Iguodala from beyond the three-point line.

"Huh!" Iguodala was equally resolute in his shots and hit them steadily.

"Tick!" Seeing this, Rivers immediately called a timeout, first Li Tian, and then Iguodala, the king's two consecutive three-point shots made him start to wake up, the king's previous tactics of attacking the interior were completely to confuse his team, what the king really wanted was the outside, it was a three-point shot!

It was a long timeout, and the head coaches of both sides once again began to battle their wits and courage, and it was clear that the Clippers would pay more attention to the perimeter defense in the future, and Adelman began to compare on the tactical board again.

"Defensively, we need to defend, Andre, the guy opposite you didn't shoot very well today, you need to be more involved in defending on the inside. Lee, Tyrek, whether the opponent's attack is successful or not, what you have to do is to push into the half court as soon as possible to find an opportunity to attack......"

After laying out a few tactics, Adelman once again emphasized defense, and for the lagging Kings, it is necessary to start from defense, so as to not only limit the opponent's scoring, but also get more opportunities to counterattack.

After the timeout, the Clippers took the lead on offense.

It was still Paul who had the ball, but the Clippers' offense didn't start with Paul, and Griffin mentioned catching the ball at the free-throw line.

Paul first ran to the left side of the ball, and Griffin also put the ball down at this time to make a hand-to-hand pass, however, this action was a feint to confuse Thompson, and then Griffin turned around and dribbled the ball from the right side to the basket.

Thompson was indeed slightly confused by Griffin's action, although he reacted quickly, but this moment also allowed Griffin to find room to break through.

Seeing Griffin suppress Thompson and move towards the basket, Iguodala, who was defending Dudley on the baseline, immediately stepped forward to make up for it, and Griffin pushed the ball to Dudley in the bottom corner.

"Bang!"

Adelman's judgment was correct, Dudley's shooting hand today was really not very good, Iguodala's return defense was not in place, but Dudley's shot still bounced out of the basket.

Cousins grabbed the backcourt rebound on the inside, and the ball was in the hands of Iguodala, while Evans and Li Tian had already run to the other half.

After dribbling and rushing forward, the ball in Iguodala's hand was directly thrown to the front court and fell into Li Tian's hands.

Receiving the ball, without waiting for the rest of the players to be in place, Li Tian dribbled forward and continued to advance to the three-point line, and glanced at Evans, who was entangled by Paul on the other side, Li Tian immediately decided to break through by himself.

The left hand of the dribble was pushed out to the right, Li Tian's figure flashed, and the whole person also rushed to the right quickly.

Although Li Tian's dribbling was not very good, the change of direction in such a way still caught Redick off guard, taking advantage of the moment when Redick was not able to stop him, Li Tian suddenly accelerated forward and rushed past Redick.

"Damn it!"

Paul, who was entangled with Evans on the other side, couldn't care about Evans at this time, and after seeing Li Tian Reddick's defense broken through by Li Tian, he immediately moved quickly to the basket to make up for the defense.

Of course, Li Tian also saw Paul's supplement, but he did not slow down, continued to rush forward, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed outside the three-second zone.

Paul had already come to the three-second zone at this time, and quickly moved sideways and stopped in front of Li Tian steadily, and after Li Tian collided, he immediately fell to the ground and made Li Tian an offensive foul.

However, how could Li Tian not know Paul's intentions, attracting Paul over, Li Tian did not plan to attack by himself at all, his eyes had already seen Evans who was following closely on the right side.

Holding the ball with both hands and pushing it directly to the side, Li Tian pushed the ball to Evans on the side, and at the same time flashed to the side, dodging Paul who was standing in front.

"Well passed, Lee!" Evans, who followed closely, received Li Tian's pass, took a big step forward with the help of momentum, and jumped high.

Paul, who was standing on one side, shifted slightly, and finally gave up trying to stop Evans after seeing that he had jumped completely.

"Bang!" In the face of the unguarded basket, Evans naturally will not be polite, grabbing the ball with one hand and smashing it into the basket!

"Beautiful, Evans dunked with one hand, with an assist from Li Tian, in this paragraph, Li Tian and Evans played very well together, and the point difference was close to only 5 points, and the king's momentum has been completely up!"

The momentum of the Clippers is in full swing!

This is not only clear to the people who are commentating the game, but everyone on the scene is also very clear, Rivers, who has just called a timeout, is unlikely to call a timeout again, but he chose to stand on the sidelines with his hands crossed, which obviously shows his mood at this time.

“Clippers! Clippers! ”

And on the sidelines, Clippers fans also began to cheer loudly for the team.

Paul controlled the ball to the half, and I don't know if it was because Griffin's previous ball was not good, or because he thought it was safer to hold the ball in his own hands at this critical moment, Paul did not hand the ball to Griffin at the free throw line after coming to the half, but reached out to signal the opponent to come forward to block and dismantle.

Griffin blocked on the right side, and Paul dribbled into the three-point line from the right. Seeing Evans blocked by Griffin, Thompson immediately dodged in front of Paul.

With a sudden change of direction, Paul took a step to the left and crossed between Thompson and Griffin while pulling the ball back to the left, while keeping Evans out completely.

Accelerating forward, knowing that Thompson would definitely not be able to keep up with his pace, Paul suddenly picked up speed and dribbled straight to the Kings basket.

Cousins was forced to step forward to stop him, and Paul waited for this moment, his body plunged into Cousins's arms, and the basketball in Paul's hand had been delivered to Jordan Jr. under the basket.

"Coax!"

Looking at this scene, the Clippers fans immediately prepared to start cheering.

"Tick!"

But before they could utter their cheers, they were interrupted by the referee's crisp whistle, and then turned into a sigh of regret.

Standing under the basket, Thompson took the initiative to raise his hand and signaled that he had committed a foul.

There is basically nothing controversial about this ball, after Jordan Jr. got the ball, Thompson hugged the opponent directly with a bear hug, preventing Jordan Jr.'s direct dunk.

It's clearly more cost-effective to put Jordan Jr. at the free-throw line than for a straight dunk, and before that, he made six free throws but only hit two.

"Bang!" With Jordan Jr.'s second free throw missed, it also announced that Thompson's foul was a wise choice.

On the other end, the Kings' offense was once again successful, with Li Tian and Iguodala pulling the defense on the outside, and Cousins getting an opportunity under the basket and scoring 2 points on Evans' pass.

"Defend them!"

61:64, the difference is only 3 points! This made the Kings players on the court more and more excited, and after retreating to the half, several people were extremely high-spirited.

The king's fighting spirit was directly reflected in the defense, and the Clippers guided the ball several times in a row, but the king's defense was very good and did not give them a chance to shoot at all.

"The Kings did a good job defending, the last five seconds!"

"Watch the time!" While the domestic commentators were shouting, Rivers on the sidelines was also shouting to remind the players on the field.

For 3 seconds, the ball was still in Paul's hands, but at this time he was completely stuck by Evans.

Realizing that there was no time to attack, Paul could only force the ball against Evans, but it was clear that such a three-point shot was completely due to luck, and at this moment, luck was not on Paul's side.

"Bang!" The basketball smashed into the basket, bounced to the middle distance, and was snatched up by Iguodala.

Counterattack! Almost as soon as Iguodala received the ball in his hands, the Kings' players were already rushing towards half court!

The Clippers' players were also very quick to retreat, and they knew that if this shot was scored by the Kings again, their remaining three-point lead would not be maintained.

Li Tian, like other teammates, rushed forward to counterattack, rushing forward along the middle, his eyes were constantly scanning the running routes of each person, he knew very well that in such a retreat process, the Clippers' defense will definitely have more holes, as long as he pays attention, it is very likely that it will be easier to get offensive opportunities than usual.

Because of this thought, Li Tian did not bury his head in the desperate rush forward, and in the middle of his ten people, his eyes were watching everyone's running.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Li Tian did not stop, he continued to move towards the basket, but the speed slowed down slightly.

Li Tian's speed slowed down, but the speed of others obviously didn't, Iguodala had already rushed into the three-point line with the ball to the right middle distance, and behind Li Tian's side, Cousins began to accelerate to the basket.

Slowing down slowly, Li Tian silently calculated Cousins' running time in his heart.

"Three, two, one!"

When Li Tian silently recited "one", Cousins happened to come to Li Tian's side and complete the transcendence of Li Tian.

Li Tian, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, quickly turned around, rushed behind Cousins, and ran outside the three-point line on the right.

"Oops!" Redick, who was following Li Tian to retreat under the basket, immediately felt bad when he noticed that Li Tian's figure suddenly disappeared from his eyes, and he also moved his steps to the side, but he happened to crash into Cousins's body.

If someone analyzes Li Tian's running in slow motion, they will definitely be amazed by how clever he is in grasping the timing! Li Tian flashed out from behind Cousins and rushed to the outside of the three-point line, while Redick, Cousins and Jordan Jr., who followed closely, were completely entangled, and the other players were so far away that when Li Tian appeared outside the 60-degree three-point line on the right side to receive Iguodala's pass, there was no one in front of him to defend at all!

"It's empty! Lee Sky is up! "Vote!"

The domestic fans who saw this scene in front of the screen immediately shouted excitedly at this time, Li Tian, who had completely recovered in the second half, was completely in a big vacancy at this moment!

The fans in front of the screen looked extremely anxious, but Li Tian, who was on the court at this time, did not have any anxiety, and found that there was no one to defend, Li Tian stabilized his rhythm, glanced at the basket, and then jumped.

Jump, shoot! The basketball flew out of his hand by rubbing his fingertips, and the familiar feeling of friction made Li Tian even can't help but make a **!

Such a familiar feeling made Li Tian not look at the basketball with a beautiful arc after throwing, but turned around, looked at the direction of his team's substitute, and raised his hands high!

"Damn, don't enter!" "Won't go in! Definitely not! ”

Li Tian's actions undoubtedly deeply stimulated the Clippers fans on the sidelines, and they cursed in their hearts, however......

"Huh!"

That crisp sound that was incomparably pleasant to Li Tian and incomparably harsh to Clippers fans announced the result of this goal, three-point shot, in!

"Yay!" "Cast beautifully!" "Cool, Lee!" Whether it is the king players on the field or the king players on the sidelines, they are all chanting at this moment, even Adelman is vigorously agitating his palms at this moment!

"The ball is in! Three-point shot, Li Tian's three-point shot is in! ”

"Li Tian hit three points! Li Tian! Three-point shot, Li Tian helped the team tie the score! ”

The commentators and guests in the domestic live broadcast room shouted almost at the same time, accompanied by the cheers of the Kings fans in front of every screen!

"Oh!"

64:64, the king tied the score!
