Chapter 162: Momentum Like a Rainbow!

"Retreat, retreat!"

Harden had just gotten up from the sidelines when he heard McHale shouting on the sidelines, and when he looked closely, he found that the king had already launched a counterattack at this time, and he was busy rushing to the half court, following closely by Li Tian's side.

First, Li Tian completely broke through his defense, and then shot to create 2+1, and then that round was directly instigated to the ground by Li Tian's big hat, which undoubtedly made Harden, who had been thinking about suppressing Li Tian with performance before the game, holding his breath in his heart.

When he came to the half, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and Harden's eyes were fixed on Li Tian, and the defense was unprecedentedly focused.

"Boy, do you dare to attack again, I will kill you!"

Listening to Harden's words, Li Tian secretly pursed his lips, and he really didn't believe it when he said such a thing from Harden's mouth.

Without words to refute, his steps were staggered, and Li Tian directly started running.

Li Tian ran, Harden also had to run along, but Li Tian's constant turnaround and running made Harden curse in his heart, before he was drumming, if Li Tian received the ball and attacked, he would try his best to defend Li Tian uncomfortable, but now, Li Tian suddenly stopped holding the ball again, but began to run without the ball, which made Harden hold back a force with nowhere to vent.

Moreover, Harden had to follow Li Tian with all his might, because now all the teams in the league know that Li Tian's ability to catch and shoot the ball after running without the ball is very good, and the coach also specially reminded the Rockets players before the game.

However, Harden, who has made up his mind to defend Li Tian, has decided to completely restrain Li Tian, so even if Li Tian is running without the ball now, Harden is also following closely

When Harden is extremely focused on defense, he also has a very good defensive effect, coupled with the rest of the Rockets' players flashing delays from time to time, Li Tian did not completely throw Harden away.

Running to the left three-point line, Li Tian took Evans' pass, but Harden also followed at this time.

Li Tianyi, who received the ball, saw that Harden followed, and did not choose to shoot, and stepped into the three-point line with his right foot.

"Still want to break through?" Seeing Li Tian's action, Harden secretly sneered in his heart, and quickly took a small half step back to the right rear, and at the same time, his body was also highly tense, just waiting for Li Tian to take that step, he completely attached himself to Li Tian, this time, he said that he would not give Li Tian a chance to break through easily.

"Do you really think I'm going to break through?" However, Harden didn't see a sly light flashing in Li Tian's eyes at this moment.

Quickly retracted the right foot that stepped out, and at the next moment when Harden finished retreating, Li Tian's two feet stood back outside the three-point line and jumped to shoot!

Tentative step! Li Tian: This is just a breakthrough feint of a tentative step!

Harden quickly understood this, but, it was too late!

After jumping, his wrist flicked slightly, and before Harden pounced again, Li Tian threw the ball first.

"Huh!" The next moment, the basketball hole pierces the net! Three-pointer, score!

"Good shot! Li Tian played this ball too smartly, after Li Tian's previous continuous breakthroughs, Harden subconsciously thought that Li Tian wanted to break through, but Li Tian just used a breakthrough feint to shake off Harden and hit a three-point shot, Li Tian is now more and more confident on the court. ”

The domestic commentators were happily praising him, but Harden on the court was obviously not so happy, and he was unable to use the strength he was holding back from the beginning to the end.

McHale, who was on the sidelines, was ready to take a timeout, because by this time the score had reached 44:34, and the margin had widened to 10 points.

But Harden apparently knew that too, receiving the ball from the backcourt, and he immediately signaled that McHale didn't need a timeout.

McHale hesitated, but still agreed to Harden's request, although Li Tian scored 6 points in a row to widen the difference, but before, Harden was also a continuous score on the court, since Harden is now making such a request, McHale is not good to refuse directly.

The Rockets' players all pulled away, and they also saw that Harden was going to play alone at this time, so they gave Harden a complete space.

At the top of the three-point arc, Li Tian bent down to stop in front of Harden, Harden's dribbling frequency at this time was not fast, but Li Tian did not rush forward to steal, he knew very well that as long as he stretched out his hand slightly, Harden would find a flaw in the defense and rush directly from his side.

Li Tian stared closely at Harden who was dribbling until the opponent started to break through.

Shaking slightly to the right, Harden then dribbled to the left, which was the direction he preferred to break through for Harden with his left hand.

Looking at Harden's fierce appearance, Li Tian did not choose to directly use his body to block Harden's breakthrough route, and moved a step quickly, Li Tian chose to stick to Harden's side as he did in the previous round, and then controlled his body without much force. He doesn't want to get off the court with another foul, and he needs to do that without giving Harden any chance to make a foul.

Harden obviously saw this, he had no scruples about impacting, and he didn't even give full play to his speed, and he didn't seem to be afraid that Li Tian would block his breakthrough route, and it was obvious that Harden at this moment wished that Li Tian would have physical contact with him.

The two were entangled in this way and rushed across the free throw line one step, seeing that Harden only needed two more big strides to make a layup against Li Tian's defense, at this time Li Tian, who was originally passively following Harden's side to defend, began to take the initiative!

Quickly moving a step to the side, Li Tian flashed out from Harden's right side and came to Harden's right front, at this time, Li Tian only needs to follow Harden's pace to move towards the basket a little bigger, and after completing the next step, he can stop in the middle of Harden and the basket.

Harden was obviously aware of this, and when Li Tian took a step forward to block the front, Harden picked up the ball and moved sideways with a wrong step, flashing to the right.

European step, this is exactly the move that Harden uses very often in the breakout.

At this moment, Li Tian has also reacted, quickly took a step to the right side and completed the sideways at the same time, he stuck to Harden's side again, but this time, he was attached to Harden's left side, and Harden had flashed to the right side to prepare for a layup.

"Start?" Looking at the basketball that Harden was holding in his hand, this thought flashed through Li Tian's mind, and in the next moment, he made a decision: "Let's go!" ”

Taking a sharp step forward to the right, Li Tian waved his hand and slapped the basketball that Harden was holding with both hands.

When Li Tian decided to start, he completely abandoned the idea of possibly carrying three fouls, and his palm cut down decisively and quickly!

This is the position in the bottom corner, in front of them, is the baseline referee, Li Tian knows very well that his action will be closely watched by the referee, so once it touches Harden's hand, the ball will not be blown foul. However, from another point of view, once he cuts to the ball, even if Harden makes some feints, the referee will be able to make a clear judgment.

With such a thought, Li Tian's palm slashed at the basketball in Harden's hand like lightning!

Harden obviously didn't expect that Li Tian, who had already committed two fouls, would choose to make such a risky move, and when he found that Li Tian's hand was cut, his hand habitually leaned towards Li Tian's hand.

"Smack!" Li Tian's hand slapped, and the basketball fell from Harden's hand, and at this time, Harden's hands were raised slightly exaggeratedly, as if he had been hit hard.

At this moment, Li Tian didn't look at Harden's movements, and while bending down to pick up the ball, his ears were pricked up, listening to any sounds made on the court.

"It's done!"

Until a second passed, the whistle in the referee's mouth still did not sound, and Li Tian realized that he had made the right bet! The steal is successful!

Li Tian once again defended Harden, and he snatched the ball directly from Harden's hand! The king fights back! ”

Picking up the ball that fell to the ground, Li Tian ignored Harden, who was still complaining to the referee, and dribbled towards the other half.

After improving his dribbling ability, running with the ball had little impact on Li Tian's speed, and when he raised his head to look ahead, he found that his teammates did not have a good chance to catch the ball, so he simply did not pass the ball to his teammates, and quickly advanced with the ball.

At this moment, Li Tian left Harden behind, although he had the ball in his hand, he was the one who encountered the least defensive pressure.

"Stop him!"

It wasn't until Li Tian was about to rush to the three-point line that the players on the Rockets' side finally reacted, and in the shouts of the Rockets fans on the sidelines, Jones moved quickly to block it.

Dribbling forward, Li Tian and Jones kept getting closer, and when they were still one step away from Jones, Li Tian's right hand of dribbling was violently turned backwards.

Dribbling the ball in the back? Seeing Li Tian's action, almost everyone was making this judgment, and Jones was the same, and immediately took a quick step to the left.

"Wow!"

However, the next moment, there was an uproar at the scene again, and the basketball that was rounded by Li Tian did not appear on the left side, but came out from behind from the crotch, and the basketball returned to Li Tian's front again.

While tapping the basketball with his left hand and pushing the ball to the right, Li Tian, who was not slowing down, took a big step towards the right side and rushed directly past Jones, who had already flashed to the left!

"Beautiful! Li Tian played a trick and passed Jones directly, Howard made up the defense, Li Tian threw the ball into the air, and Cousins wanted to catch ...... in the air.

After Li Tian completely broke through Jones, Howard immediately moved his steps to make up for the defense, and at this time, Jones, who came back to his senses, and Harden, who was chasing after him, also rushed up quickly.

Without trying to challenge the Rockets' three-man defense, he looked up at the basket that was completely empty and Cousins who was moving quickly towards the basket, and Li Tian dribbled with a slight shake of his right hand and sent the ball into the air.

The basketball flew over Howard's head and came to the right front of the basket, and by this time, Cousins had already arrived!

"Bang!" Soaring into the air, Cousins grabbed the basketball with both hands and smashed it into the basket!

It was accompanied by an excited shout: "Li, spread beautifully!" ”

"Empty Catch! Li Tian assists! Great, this ball is fantastic! Steals, passes, air catches, all in one go! ”

The domestic commentator was praising it, and Yao Ming, who was on the sidelines, was also applauding lightly at this time, in the previous game, perhaps because this was once his home field, so even if Li Tian had a good performance, he didn't celebrate, but at this moment he couldn't help but applaud.

"Oh!" “WOW!”

As for the king's bench, it was already jubilant, and the king's players were dancing with excitement!

46:34, a 12-point difference, McHale decisively called a timeout, and was annoyed that he had not made up his mind just now.
