“KINGS！ KINGS！ ”

Although the score was only 0:4, the atmosphere at the scene was as if the king was already leading by 14 points, which was extremely hot.

Li Tian's fake fax dunk, Iguodala and Li Tian blocked twice in a row, and then completed an empty dunk in the counterattack, this continuous wonderful performance completely drove the atmosphere of the scene.

In such a situation, the Kings were in full swing and continued to control the situation on the court for the next few rounds.

2:10, a few minutes after the opening minute, the Kings played a wave of 10:2 scoring spurts, directly establishing an 8-point lead, so that the Nuggets had to call a timeout.

"Well done, lads. The opponent should choose to better protect the penalty area, so, DeMarcus, mention the high post to respond, Tyrek pay attention to cut to the basket to catch the ball, attract the opponent's attention, and then pass the ball to the outside. Lee, Andre, pay attention to finding opportunities on the outside. ”

Taking advantage of the Nuggets' timeout, Adelman readjusted his tactics, and in the previous few rounds, except for Li Tian's two dunks, the rest of the Kings' scores were also scored in the restricted area, Cousins scored 4 points, and Evans also scored 2 points.

Back on the court, the Nuggets made a substitution, replacing the pseudo-starter Anthony Randolph with last year's No. 20 rookie Evan Fournier.

The substitution really worked, and when he got on the court, the French swingman contributed, receiving a pass from Lawson and hitting a three-pointer.

Back to the Kings' offense, after Evans dribbled the ball to the halfcourt, Cousins mentioned getting the ball in the high post, and Jason Thompson was also ready to cover for Li Tian and Iguodala at this time, and it seemed that the Kings were still ready to attack the inside.

Suddenly activated from Lawson's side, Evans rushed towards the basket, and Cousins immediately passed the ball out.

After receiving the ball, Evans rushed forward towards the basket, and the Nuggets' defense began to shrink, and at this time, Li Tian and Iguodala also began to run on the outside, looking for open space.

Li Tian and Iguodala were in a good position almost at the same time, and Evans glanced up and chose to pass the ball to Li Tian.

Receiving the ball outside the three-point line, Li Tian quickly shot, which was a good opportunity.

Evans was ready for another assist, but the ensuing scene left him slightly stunned.

"Bang!" The basketball thrown by Li Tian smashed into the basket and popped up, and he missed the three-point shot.

"It's a shame that Lee just got a good chance, but he couldn't shoot it." When Jerry Reynolds in the commentary box said this, the fans and Kings players at the scene also felt a little pity, in their feelings, Li Tian could seize such a good opportunity, after all, Li Tian's shooting was excellent.

Soon, though, the fans were relieved.

"It's normal, no one can guarantee that every ball will be hit." Many fans thought so in their hearts.

However, Li Tian in the field didn't think so.

"It seems that the feel is still not adjusted well." Li Tian in the court frowned secretly, in the past two days, he has been adjusting the shooting rhythm after the bounce change, but the adjustment of the rhythm is obviously not a matter of one or two days.

Thinking of this, Li Tian secretly told himself in his heart to try to reduce his shots in this game.

The Nuggets' offense scored again, and after Foye missed a shot, McGee made a layup under the basket to rewrite the score to 7:10, and the margin was reduced to 10 points.

On the other end, although Lawson paid attention to Evans' defense, he still found an opportunity for Evans to rush to the basket, and Evans is also the top in the league in terms of breakthrough ability.

"Lee received the pass again, hey, he didn't shoot, and he broke through!"

Li Tian once again received a pass from Evans, and the chance of this goal was also good, everyone thought that Li Tian should have hit the ball, but Li Tian didn't shoot at all.

Smashing the ball on the floor, Li Tian directly dribbled the ball and rushed past Feye's side.

The Nuggets' defense that was about to expand had to continue to shrink, and Li Tian did not directly break through to score, taking advantage of this opportunity, he split the ball and sent it to Iguodala outside the three-point line.

Receiving the ball, Iguodala shoots directly.

"Huh!" Three-point hit.

Judging from the result of the ball, it was not bad, after all, he also got three points, so not too many people noticed that Li Tian consciously chose not to shoot.

However, as the game progressed, when Li Tian tried a pull-up jump shot and missed, and then received the ball mostly and chose to pass, Adelman finally saw a little bit of the doorway.

At 12:18, halfway through the first quarter, the Kings had the lead, and Li Tian was replaced by Adelman after half a quarter, just like the previous game.

Seeing that the situation on the court was relatively stable after the substitution, Adelman immediately found Li Tian and asked, "Li, why didn't you choose to shoot in the middle of the court just now?" Was it because those two missed shots? ”

"yes, coach, I don't feel like I was shooting very well today." Li Tian replied truthfully.

Adelman nodded slightly, then raised his head again and asked, "Do you think you can't throw, so you don't dare to throw?" ”

"Of course not!" Li Tian immediately shook his head and said: "If necessary, of course I will choose to shoot without hesitation, although my shooting feeling is not good in the past two days, but I see that my teammates have better opportunities in the court, and I think it will be more suitable for them to shoot." ”

Adelman nodded again after hearing this, and then said, "When you get back on the court, let go and shoot." ”

"Huh?" Li Tian raised his head in surprise after hearing Adelman's words, he had already told Adelman that his shooting touch was not excellent, originally thought that Adelman would praise himself for doing a good job after asking like this before, and then pay attention to passing in the game or something.

What Li Tian never expected was that Adelman actually let himself let go of the shot, so after he said this sentence in surprise, he looked at Adelman with puzzled eyes.

Seeing the doubts in Li Tian's heart, Adelman explained: "Li, I know your shooting ability, but you haven't felt it in the past two days, what you need to do now is to get back your shooting touch." Shoot more shots in the game, and trust me, if you can adjust under pressure during the game, maybe it will work better than if you adjust in training. ”

"Thanks, Coach!" Li Tian said with gratitude that Adelman even let himself make more shots in the game when he knew that he didn't feel good, and this kind of trust really surprised and moved Li Tian.

"Don't thank me, you're an important part of the team's tactics and the team needs you to find your shot. So, don't worry too much, you just have to make a move. Adelman continued, implying that Li Tian didn't need to be under pressure.

Li Tian immediately nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, coach, I will definitely find my feel as soon as possible." ”

Adelman smiled and stopped talking.

Now that he got Adelman's permission, Li Tian didn't have too many scruples, and after returning to the court in the second quarter, Li Tian tried to shoot four times, but lost all of them.

Such a situation naturally attracted people's attention, such as Isiah Thomas, who realized that his chance may have come, and since Li Tian had a bad hand today, he could have more chances in the second half.

Also thinking about it were the two commentators on the sidelines, who said in a discussion before the start of the second half: "Lee didn't feel good today, he scored six points in the first half, all from the box, and on top of that, he shot 0 of 6. If Li Tian didn't adjust well in the second half, Rick Adelman might choose to let Isiah or Marcus stay on the court more. ”

However, to everyone's surprise, after the start of the second half, Li Tian did not play less, he stayed on the field completely according to the rotation time, and Li Tian in the field seemed to have no sense of cold hands at all, and he was unambiguous when he had the opportunity to shoot.

What surprised them even more was that Adelman didn't seem to care at all about Li Tian's extremely low shooting rate, and did not adjust his tactical play, nor did he accuse Li Tian of making too many shots.

When Li Tian finally hit a throw from close range through a cut on the court, Jerry Reynolds couldn't help but shout: "Lee finally scored, he got his 8th point, but for this, he paid the price of 12 shots." He shot 33.3 percent from the field and 0 from the field. ”

"Is this Lee?" Grant Napier's tone was also full of confusion at the moment, "We have the impression that Lee has accurate shooting and efficient scoring efficiency, but it is clear that Lee was lost tonight. ”
