"Audience friends, welcome all of us into the final game day of the NBA 12-13 regular season, the Kings host the Rockets game is about to begin."

With the voice of the commentator sounding, the eyes of domestic fans turned to the screen one after another.

This is probably the most popular game for the Kings at home this season, not only because of the sharp rise in Li Tian's popularity in China, but also because this game is related to the ranking of the Lakers and the Rockets, and both teams have very high popularity in China.

Needless to say, the Lakers have been popular in China for many years, and although the Rockets have retired due to Yao Ming's injury and retirement for a period of time, they have been attracting attention again in China with the addition of Jeremy Lin and Harden this season.

Fans of the Kings, Rockets, and Lakers paid attention at the same time, which made the game extremely high in ratings, but also made the Internet already noisy before the game started.

"Li Tian has been playing well recently, but Harden will definitely lead the Rockets to win this game."

After the Rockets fans expressed their opinions, the Kings fans were immediately unhappy, and someone immediately jumped out and retorted: "Upstairs, why do you say that the Rockets will win, I still think Li Tian and the King will break out today." ”

"That's right, the king has been doing well recently, and I'm optimistic that Li Tian will break out today." The words of the Kings fans were echoed by the Lakers fans, who wished the Kings could win.

As a result, there was a situation on the Internet where the Kings and Lakers fans joined forces to scold the Rockets fans.

That's how the game began, and the Kings' starters were still the same as in the previous game, with center DeMarcus Cousins, power forward Jason Thompson, small forward Marcus Thornton, scoring guard Tyrek Evans, and point guard Isiah Thomas.

On the Rockets' side, the center is Omir Asik, power forward Greg Smith, small forward Chander Parsons, scoring guard James Harden, and point guard Jeremy Lin.

For most of the season, the Rockets have been paired by Asik and Donates Motaiunas, but Motai was injured at the end of the season and was replaced by Greg Smith.

At the beginning of the game, Li Tianzheng was sitting on the sidelines, and after he came out, he looked around the court and did not find Ajiali, but this is not surprising, after all, the stadium is so big, and today because it is the last game of the regular season, the attendance rate is not bad, unless Ajiali is sitting in a more conspicuous place in the front row, it is not easy to find someone easily, and Ajiali came with her father, and it is entirely possible to stay in the VIP room.

After looking around again, he still didn't find Agary, Li Tian put his attention into the game, at this moment, the game has begun, after jumping the ball, Cousins helped the team king take the lead in getting the ball.

After Thomas dribbled to halfcourt, Evans asked for the ball and stopped him by James Harden, who came to the Rockets from the Thunder last summer.

The dribble from outside the three-point line suddenly started to rush forward, and Evans went straight to the basket.

After coming to the Rockets to become the team's number one attacker, Harden has exploded this season, averaging close to 26 points per game and being selected as an All-Star, showing offensive talent, but his performance on the defensive end, especially his focus, is not so satisfactory in comparison.

For example, right now, Harden is clearly not ready for Evans' sudden breakthrough, and by the time he is ready to defend, Evans has found space to break through and rush into the three-point line.

Evans broke through Harden's defense and immediately disrupted the Rockets' defense, and Asik's backup defense freed Cousins, and the Rockets' defense was forced to shrink at this time.

Evans didn't pass the ball to Cousins, and after the Rockets defense shrank, Evans threw the ball out and sent it to Thornton from beyond the three-point line.

"Huh!" After receiving the ball, Thorton made a decisive shot and hit the three-point shot steadily.

The Kings offense was successful, but the Rockets weren't as smooth as Jeremy Lin and Asik played pick-and-rolls and split the ball into the hands of Greg Smith, whose close-range shot was interfered with by Jason Thompson and the ball bounced off the basket.

Cousins grabbed the rebound, Evans took the initiative to pass the ball again, and then dribbled the ball towards the other half.

Evans dribbled to the outside of the three-point line in the half, it was still Harden's defense, and the shaking feints between the marches, Evans once again rushed past Harden and went directly to the inside to make a layup.

And immediately after, the Rockets' cover rule gave the Kings another chance.

0:7, when Cousins scored a strong shot on the inside, the Kings had a seven-point advantage in the opening short time.

At this time, the Rockets finally came to their senses, Harden broke through to hit a layup, and then Jeremy Lin broke through the point to assist Parsons with a three-point shot, which finally helped the Rockets stabilize the situation.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides was fast, only a short time, half of the first quarter time, and at this time, the score of the two teams came to 12:16, the Rockets stabilized the situation, but the Kings always maintained the lead, and at this time the ball was still in the hands of the King, which made the Rockets coach Kevin McHale on the sidelines frown.

The Kings attacked, Cousins was caught inside with the ball, and the ball was distributed to Thomas outside the three-point line.

Thomas shot outside the three-point line, and Jeremy Lin didn't arrive in time at this time, which was a very good opportunity, but Thomas didn't take it, and the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced.

The inside scramble for rebounds, and in the confusion, Cousins touched the ball off the line.

"Tick!" McHale, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, called a timeout.

"Can anyone tell me what the goal of this game is? Win, seventh in the West! But look at your performance on the field, the guys on the other side are more motivated than you, and they just want to finish the game as soon as possible and enjoy the holiday! ”

As soon as the Rockets players came to the sidelines, McHale began to express his displeasure.

"Very well done, lads ......" On the other side of the bench, Jim Ain was the exact opposite praising the team's performance, and he was very pleased with the fighting spirit from the start of the game.

"Lee, go on the field and replace Isaiah!" After some encouragement, Aine made personnel changes, and I don't know if he was still thinking about the holidays, Isaiah Thomas was not in shape today, and he had two decent shooting opportunities in this quarter.

In addition to Li Tian on the court, Robinson also came on the court, replacing Jason Thompson.

"Li Tian is on the court, facing Harden. McHale kept shouting during the timeout just now, and it seemed that he was not satisfied with the performance of the Rockets in the previous period, and after the timeout, the Rockets are very likely to play stronger on both offensive and defensive ends, and Li Tian will face more pressure when he is replaced at this time. ”

Li Tian's appearance naturally attracted domestic commentators and fans to start a discussion, although many fans came to pay attention to whether the Rockets won the game, but there were also many people who came to watch Li Tian's game.

Coming to the court, Li Tian stood in front of Harden, and the two teams had played twice before tomorrow weekend, but Li Tian did not get the opportunity to play at that time, which was also the first time that the two faced off.

As the domestic commentator said, when they came to the court after a timeout, the Rockets immediately showed their strong side, Jeremy Lin broke through to the basket and broke through to Asik, who tried to dunk directly after receiving the ball.

Fortunately, Cousins returned to the defense in time, because there was a physical confrontation with Cousins, Asik's dunk smashed on the basket, and then touched Cousins's body out of bounds.

The Rockets re-served, and under the Kings' defense, the Rockets did not directly find an opportunity to attack the basket, and the ball passed from Jeremy Lin to Parsons, and then to Harden.

"Break through, rush to the basket!" On the sidelines, seeing that the players were just passing the ball from the outside, McHale shouted in dissatisfaction.

Although he couldn't hear what McHale was shouting, Harden could roughly guess it, holding the ball with both hands and shaking, Harden began to prepare to break through Li Tian.

"Harden wants to play alone, Li Tian is defending!" Domestic fans were also immediately attracted by the showdown on the field.

Squatting slightly in front of Harden at half an arm's length, Li Tian leaned forward with his right hand and shook in front of Harden's eyes, his eyes were staring at Harden's shoulders and waiting for Harden's next move.

Harden held the ball in his hand and his arms drooped, the ball was very low from the ground at the moment, swaying slightly to the right, and then quickly pulled to the left, Harden put the ball on the ground at the same time, his body also rushed to the left.

"It's now!" At the same time, Li Tian, who saw the opportunity, began to act, his right hand reached out like lightning, and at the moment when the ball broke away from Harden's hand and was about to fall on the floor, Li Tian's hand was directly copied on the basketball and grabbed the basketball!

Steals!
