The Kings players happily retreated to the backcourt, 33:26, with this counterattack, the Kings have led by 7 points, and what makes them even more happy is Li Tiangang's breakthrough dunk.

"Lee, what did you do just now?"

"It must be a coincidence."

Evans and Iguodala stepped back first, and then they both turned sideways and shouted at Li Tianxiao.

Spread his hands, Li Tian smiled slightly and did not speak, this kind of thing should be answered with actions. He believes that his teammates will gradually accept the fact that his ability to hold the ball has increased, and once is not enough, then two or three times......

After half time, Harden controlled the ball in his hands and did not mean to pass the ball to his teammates, and the Rockets' players suddenly all pulled away, giving Harden space to play alone.

The dribble adjusted his pace slightly outside the three-point line, and Harden suddenly started to rush forward.

"Porphyry!" Harden had just taken a step before he crashed directly into McClymer, who was accurately judged.

Just when McClymer was ready to prevent Harden from forcing a breakthrough, Harden leaned heavily on McClymer, and then took a step back and returned to the three-point line with the help of the rebound force from McClymer.

Affected by Harden's heavy reliance, McClymer's pace was slightly slower, seizing this opportunity, Harden jumped up and down lightly and hit the basketball.

Harden's offense finally alleviated the Rockets' scoring drought, but his toe touched the three-point line, which could only be regarded as a two-point shot.

However, neither the Rockets players on the court nor the fans in the stadium had time to study whether the ball was a three-point or a two-pointer, because by this time, the Kings had already launched another attack.

Harden's ball had just landed on the net, and Robinson quickly took it to the baseline and sent the ball to Evans' hands, and at this time, Li Tian and several players who were standing further outside had already rushed to the frontcourt.

The Kings were so fast that Evans didn't choose to dribble himself, and took two steps forward with the ball, and the ball in his hand was quickly pushed out and sent to McClymer in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation after receiving the ball, McClymer broke through with a direct dribble.

Harden's defense seemed to be a little more focused at this time, moving his feet to block at the first time, but McClymer had already passed the ball out and sent it to Iguodala, who ran forward to answer.

After receiving the ball, Iguodala also began to break through.

Iguodala faced Terrence Jones, which was an obvious misalignment, without much skill, Iguodala forced a breakthrough through Jones with his better speed, but it was such a simple breakthrough, Jones was stunned and couldn't defend.

Jones' movement speed may be excellent at the No. 4 position, but it's still a lot worse when it comes to an outside player like Iguodala.

The Rockets' retreat speed was not slow, but even so, Motai Yunas was not able to return to the basket in time at this time, and Parsons, who was defending Li Tian outside the three-point line on the right side, had to move to the basket to participate in the defense.

This is what the Kings players were waiting for, and Iguodala deliberately chose to break through to Li Tian's side, and Li Tian immediately ran towards the bottom corner when Parsons just moved his foot.

Iguodala has been paying attention to the movements of Li Tian and Palins, and without waiting for Parsons to run close to him completely, realizing that the distance between Li Tian and Parsons has been stretched far enough at this time, the ball in Iguodala's hand is quickly pushed in the direction of Li Tian in the bottom corner.

Parsons didn't know that Iguodala was very likely to share the ball with Li Tian, but he couldn't watch Iguodala attack the basket, he wanted to participate in the defense to scare Iguodala, and then he quickly returned to the defense after Iguodala passed.

However, Li Tian's active running and Iguodala's well-timed pass shattered Parsons' idea, although he also quickly turned around and rushed towards Li Tian, but at this time he obviously could no longer bring too much interference to Li Tian's shooting.

"Huh!" The knife fell, Li Tian went out on the three-point line, and hit steadily!

At 36:28, Harden had just narrowed the gap to only 5 points, and after Li Tian's three-point shot, the difference was pulled to 8 points.

"Attack the inside!" Standing on the sidelines, McHale shouted into the middle of the court while motioning for Howard to get ready to play.

The biggest shortcoming of the Kings' lineup is the lack of height on the inside, Iguodala is originally an outside player, and Robinson's height of 206 also has no advantage on the inside, so at this time, McHale let the players attack the interior to get opportunities, and on the other hand, let Howarddell play.

As long as Howard is put on the court, McHale believes that the flaws in the Kings' roster will be fully magnified.

At this time, Harden on the court had already heard McHale shouting, took Brooks' pass and made a shooting feint, taking advantage of the moment when McClymer's center of gravity was slightly raised, Harden dribbled the ball into the three-point line.

McClymer also realized that he had made a mistake at this time, and quickly turned sideways, trying to stick to Harden to stop the opponent's fast break, but Harden's breakthrough was obviously not so easy to be basketed, relying on his advantage in physical strength, Harden pressed McClymer to rush to the basket.

Iguodala, who was defending Jones on this sideline, saw that Harden was about to rush to the basket and quickly moved forward to help defend.

Seeing Harden caught in the bag between Iguodala and McClymer, "Di", at this time, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

The ball flew out in Harden's hand, and the referee blew for a defensive foul on Iguodala. Iguodala went to the referee to explain with a face full of grievances, but it didn't work.

McHale, who had been preparing for a substitution on the sidelines, immediately brought Howard on the court, replacing Motaiyunas, while replacing Parsons, who had been on the court for a long time, with Omi Casby.

Adelman also made a personnel change at this time, replacing Iguodala, who had not yet rested, with Cousins, and replacing McClymer with Middleton.

Adelman knew very well that using Robinson to defend Howard would definitely suffer, so he decisively replaced Cousins at this time. And his goal of adopting a small lineup has also been achieved, and the national five at this time is leading by 8 points.

Harden hit two free throws to make it 36:30. At this time, domestic fans found something that interested them, Li Tian and Harden were opposed.

After McClymer got off the court, Li Tian returned to the second position, and at this time, the Rockets did not change the defense, after coming to the half, it was Harden who defended Li Tian, and what made them even more excited was that Li Tian had begun to run actively at this time.

Li Tian began to run after coming to the half, Harden's defense is certainly on the one hand, the bearded defense is not good, and Li Tian is also looking forward to the opponent's position before the game, and on the other hand, he has just completed two attacks in a row He is in good shape at this time.

To Li Tian's slight surprise, Harden's defense this time was very good, after entering the second quarter, Harden's defensive concentration improved significantly, Li Tian went around in the half to the three-point line, but did not easily shake off Harden, almost at the same time as he received the ball, Harden has also arrived.

didn't rush to shoot, didn't pass the ball back to Evans, turned around after receiving the ball, Li Tian went around to Harden's side, and then dribbled the ball directly into the three-point line.

"Li Tian faced Harden's defensive ball-handling offense and broke through the ......"

When Li Tian stepped into the three-point line, Harden also moved sideways and stepped into the three-point line, stopping in front of Li Tian's side, and at the same time his body pasted towards Li Tian, trying to directly block Li Tian's forward rush with his body.

Stop! did not continue to rush forward and collided with Harden, Li Tian stopped and retreated half a step back, and opened a little distance with Harden.

Harden rarely showed the positive side of his defense again, quickly took a step forward, he tried to stick to Li Tian again, obviously, in Harden's heart, he still thinks that Li Tian's shooting is more threatening, and does not want to give Li Tian the slightest space to shoot.

"Chance!"

At this moment, Li Tian's eyes flashed, and at the moment when Harden stepped forward, Li Tian suddenly started and killed to the right side again!

Stop, stop!

Li Tian's grasp of the rhythm of dribbling is obviously much better than before, and this is also beyond Harden's expectations, when he reacted again, Li Tian had already rushed past him!

"Beautiful! Li Tian broke through Harden's defensive ......"

The domestic commentators and fans were cheering, but Harden on the court was annoyed at the moment, turned around quickly, and chased after Li Tian.

Harden chased closely, and Howard also moved to the basket on this side at this time, ready to block Li Tian's breakthrough, but Li Tian did not rush to the basket.

"Squeak!"

Rushing out two steps, Li Tian stopped again, but this time, he chose to jump up.

"Don't think about shooting!" Seeing this scene, Harden quickly raised his hand and rushed over.

It's just that Li Tian's stop-and-go jump shooting speed made Harden's defense completely ineffective, and when Harden rushed to him, the basketball had already flown out of his hand.

"Huh!"

With that crisp sound, the basketball once again passed through the net!

"Good shot! Li Tian's attack with the ball today is very good, this is the first time he has won a single with the ball! ”

While the domestic commentator sighed, Li Tian, who retreated to the other side of the half, also shouted excitedly in his heart: "The improvement of the ability to hold the ball is really different!" ”

Finding shooting opportunities by dribbling himself was a shortcoming for Li Tian in the past, but it is obvious that this shortcoming has now been made up, which also makes Li Tian realize that his lethality on the offensive end will be improved again!
