Chapter Sixty-Eight: The King's Attack Wave

11 against 4, in the first quarter of the game, Li Tian scored 11 points in 7 minutes on the court, while Gilchrist only scored 4 points in the whole quarter, and of them, only 2 points were scored when he was in opposition to Li Tian.

Looking at such a data, the Bobcats fans at the scene were silent, and Li Tian's remarks before the game made Bobcats fans of course want to point at Li Tian and scold him for "arrogance, arrogance, and hype", but all this has to be done by his own players.

Gilchrist is the star of the list, and Li Tian is just an undrafted pick, but purely from the data in the first quarter, the identities of these two seem to be more appropriate.

Judging from the performance on the court, even the Bobcat players have to admit that Li Tian is indeed more helpful to the team than Gilchrist, the score of 32:22 after the first quarter of the game between the two teams has said a lot of things, and aside from the data, Li Tian's performance on the defensive end is remarkable, whether it is for Gilchrist's defense or assistance defense, as for the offense, he even shot Gilchrist without any temper.

Bobcat fans can only hope that in the next games, Gilchrist can put on a counterattack and have a better performance.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Tian and Gilchrist did not have many opportunities to match, Li Tian only played 4 minutes in this quarter of the game, scored 3 points, and Gilchrist did not play in the few minutes he was on the court.

As for Gilchrist, who Bobcats fans were expecting, the good performance didn't happen, and the poor shooting performance allowed Gilchrist to score just 2 points in the quarter.

61:49, before entering the second half, the king led by 12 points, and after the start of the second half, the difference between the two teams has been hovering around 10 points, and when Li Tian played with 5 minutes left in the third quarter, the score on the court was 75:66, and the king still led by 9 points, but the offensive power was still in the hands of the king.

Jim Ain also replaced Fredette at the same time as Li Tian, who was directly pushed to the small forward position, but at this time he was playing against the Bobcats' outside core Gerald Henderson, and Gilchrist was just replaced a minute ago.

Obviously, Gerard Henderson is extremely cautious about Li Tian, who has been in good offensive form recently, and Henderson followed Li Tian with a vigilant face when the king was still sending the sideline ball, and when the king's ball was sent, Henderson directly pasted Li Tian.

Seeing Li Tian being stuck by Henderson, Robinson immediately put on the screen, similar to a pick-and-roll, but Li Tian's lack of the ball in his hand made this cover even better.

Robinson blocked Henderson, Li Tian bypassed from the side, and with a wrong step, Li Tian took a step sideways, and then dodged Robinson, who was trying to come forward to block, and then rushed to the basket.

Seeing that Li Tian completely threw off the defender and went inside, Evans no longer hesitated, and the ball in his hand was thrown out and sent directly to Li Tian, who cut into the basket.

Behind Li Tian, Henderson and Biyombo were in hot pursuit, and on the other side, another Bobcats interior also quickly headed for the basket to prepare to defend back. Although Li Tian still relied on shooting for most of his scoring in the first half, none of them dared to let Li Tian easily enter the three-second zone, after all, when Li Tian first came on the court, it proved that he could score when he rushed into the penalty area.

"Squeak!" One step in the free throw line, after finding that he was about to be surrounded when he rushed to the basket, Li Tian did not continue to rush forward, and the basket offense was not what he was good at after all.

Seeing that Li Tian stopped and seemed to be about to shoot, Henderson and Biyongbo immediately pasted over, and at this time, the corner of Li Tian's eyes swept to the left front.

Thomas Robinson! Li Tian saw the figure of his friend, and the other party cut in from the left side towards the basket as he expected.

The ball in his hand was thrown out, and the ball was passed to the ground, and Li Tian passed the ball to Robinson.

At this time, Biyongbo had already reacted, quickly turned around and ran back towards Robinson, but in the face of Robinson, who had completely rushed up, Biyongbo's return defense no longer had much meaning.

After receiving Li Tian's pass, he rushed forward, Robinson jumped up with the ball in both hands, and seeing this, Biyongbo also stopped, he knew that he could no longer stop Robinson from attacking the basket at this time.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Robinson slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

"Lee, pass beautifully!" Falling from the basket, Robinson first yelled excitedly, and then rushed to Li Tian, bumping his chest with Li Tian and yelling.

Robinson continued his excitement on the defensive end, and after coming to halfcourt, he directly defended Biyombo's offense, and the ball came to the Kings again.

At half-time, Li Tian was caught by Henderson, and it was clear that Henderson's intention was still to stop Li Tian's running as much as possible. Stopping this is not Li Tian's style, he didn't call his teammates to come forward to cover, leaning on Henderson, Li Tian took a small step towards the line, and then pushed his arm on Henderson's body, with the help of this force to open up the distance between the two, Li Tian ran to the basket.

Rushing to the bottom of the basket and making a wrong step, Li Tian immediately changed direction and rushed past Robinson's side and moved to the right.

At this time, it was too late for Henderson to follow Robinson's back, so he could only bypass Robinson's front, and then he saw Li Tian rushing to the right side of the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, and he was busy rushing over.

However, at this moment, Li Tian, who was originally going to go around the top, suddenly rushed forward in a straight line, rushed to the middle distance of the baseline, and reached out to receive Fredette's pass.

"Huh!" The next moment, the basketball is directly piercing the net.

At 79:66, after Robinson and Li Tian scored one after another, the difference between the two teams widened to 13 points.

"Tick!" Seeing that something was wrong, the Bobcats immediately called a timeout.

After the timeout, the players on both sides returned to the court, Kemba Walker dribbled outside the three-point line, and the two interior players of the Bobcats all mentioned the outside cover and immediately pulled the basket into the air, seizing this opportunity, Kemba Walker dribbled directly to the inside.

Standing in front of Henderson in the corner of the baseline, seeing that Fredette was out of position and couldn't stop Walker, Li Tian rushed towards the basket quickly. Like Gilchrist, Henderson's outside shooting ability is also extremely weak, which makes Li Tian not have too many scruples at all.

Dribbling to the outside of the three-second zone, Walker suddenly accelerated to shake off Fredette and jumped, and the Kings' two interior players were not under the basket to make him feel at ease.

However, Walker didn't see that on the side of the bottom line, Li Tian had already killed at this time.

The increased speed allowed Li Tian to arrive in time when Walker was jumping, and jumped up with the help of momentum, seeing the basketball that Walker was about to shoot, Li Tian instigated it fiercely!

"Smack!" The ball had just flown out of Walker's hand, and Li Tian's palm had already arrived and hit the basketball hard.

Cover!

"Lee, well done!" On the sidelines, the Bobcats fans were silent, while the Kings players stood up and shouted and cheered, which did not stop with the passage of time, but continued ......

Fredette, who was under the basket, grabbed the ball in his hand and threw it forward hard to get to Terrick Evans, who had already rushed to the front.

Dribbling forward and rushing into the three-point line, Evans picked up the ball behind his back and changed hands to dodge the defender's cut and dunk with one hand!

The Bobcats also seemed to be completely disrupted at this point, and when it came to the offensive end, their offense was once again in vain.

"Retreat! Retreat! ”

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Bobcats kept roaring towards the basket, and this roar finally made the Bobcats players come back to their senses a little, and their defense was fast, so that the Kings did not play back again.

Falling into the positional battle, Li Tian began to run actively, and at this time the Bobcats obviously cared about Li Tian's defense, after a circle in the half, Li Tian, who returned to outside the three-point line, did not get a chance to shoot, and realized that he could not get a good offensive opportunity for a while, Li Tian began to fall to the free throw line position, covering for Tyrek Evans.

With Li Tian's cover, Evans came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line to receive a pass from Fredette, but Evans was not very sure about the three-point shot, and in his hesitation, Ben Gordon of the Bobcats had already rushed up to defend.

Continuing to grab the next step, Li Tian directly mentioned outside the three-point line and blocked for Evans.

Li Tian successfully blocked Gordon, Evans then dribbled the ball to the basket, Gordon was busy chasing Evans from Li Tian's side, and Henderson also flashed from behind Li Tian at this time to prepare to help defend.

At this moment, Li Tian moved! No longer standing there to cover Evans, Li Tian ran two meters beyond the three-point line on the left side of the arc.

Without Li Tian's cover, Evans, who had not yet fully rushed up, fell into the bag of Gordon and Henderson, but his ball flew out at this time and sent it to Li Tian outside the three-point line.

"Oops!" Seeing the ball fly out, Henderson immediately reacted and rushed in the direction of Li Tian.

Li Tian saw Henderson rushing over, but when he received the ball, he still jumped up decisively! He had only one thought in his mind, score!

"There it is!" Almost the moment the basketball was shot, Li Tian roared in his heart, although someone interfered in front, but the shooting of this ball felt too comfortable!

"Huh!" The crisp sound response that followed confirmed Li Tian's prediction, three-point shot, medium!

"Tick!" The referee blew the whistle and the Bobcats called a timeout again, 84:66, and in the past two and a half minutes, the Kings unleashed a 9-0 attack wave that brought the difference between the two teams to 18 points.
