Chapter 145: Get In!

"First offense at the start of the second half, Tyrek, you and DeMarcus play and break the basket. But after only one round, when the opponent thinks that we will continue to attack the inside, Lee and Andre, you are looking for a shooting opportunity on the outside, and you need to find the shooting touch as soon as possible. ”

After entering the locker room, Adelman first laid out the overall offensive tactics, and then took out the tactics board and began to lay out detailed tactics.

Adelman is well aware of why his team trailed by as many as 13 points outside the first half, and the key point is that the outside line is not open, and they have averaged 8.5 three-pointers per game in past wins, but in the first half of this game, they only hit one three-pointer.

Among them, Li Tian and Iguodala's poor hand is the main reason, especially Li Tian, who is the main shooting point outside the King's three-point line, but in the first half, he did not shoot a three-point shot.

"Yes, Coach!"

Adelman knows this, and Li Tian also knows that for him now, if he doesn't have the shooting touch on the outside, his help to the team on the offensive end will be very limited, after all, although he now has a certain breakthrough ability, but it is far from being as lethal as shooting.

In fact, Li Tian's shooting feeling was not bad before the game, but the two fouls in the first quarter disrupted his shooting rhythm, coupled with the Clippers' strict defense, he couldn't find the shooting rhythm after he re-entered the court in the second quarter.

If you want to get back your touch, the best way is of course to shoot more, so after Adelman arranged the tactics, Li Tian immediately went out of the locker room to the court to warm up and practice shooting.

Li Tian only played a total of 10 minutes in the first half, so he didn't have to stay in the locker room to recover his fitness.

After Li Tian practiced for a while, Iguodala and several players from Middleton also joined in to warm up until the second half of the game resumed.

"The second half of the game started, the Kings took the lead in attacking, let's see how the Kings' offense played, Evans and Cousins blocked, the ball went to Cousins, or attacked Cousins, causing a foul."

Speaking of which, after Cousins walked to the free throw line, the domestic commentator continued: "Cousins is in good offensive form today, and it seems that Adelman still decided to attack Cousins more." ”

For others who don't know exactly what tactics the Kings laid out at halftime, seeing the Kings attacking Cousins after the start of the second half is speculating that the Kings are prepared to continue to focus on the interior.

The Clippers apparently thought so, as Cousins hit both free throws, and after the Clippers offense on the other end was also scored, the Clippers who retreated to the half court shrank their defense slightly.

Paul stopped in front of Evans and directly put Evans one meter away, firstly, because he was not worried about Evans' long-range shooting ability, and secondly, it was obviously to prevent Evans from breaking through.

Speeding up the dribble, Evans made a break move, and at the same time, the rest of the Kings moved quickly, with Thompson and Cousins both moving towards the left half, seemingly trying to clear the right side and open up space for Evans' breakaway.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tian, who was outside the three-point line on the left, started to act, and rushed quickly towards the bottom corner of the right along the bottom line.

Almost at the same time, Evans began to break through, and after a wobbly feint, the dribble rushed forward from the right side.

The three-second zone on the left side was already crowded with people at the moment, but this gave Li Tian a very good opportunity to run, a sudden change of direction in the run, Li Tian directly bypassed outside the baseline, and at the same time shook off Redick, appeared in the middle distance on the right side.

Continuing to rush forward, Li Tian ran to the bottom corner on the right, and Redick, who was following closely, was busy rushing over, but at this time, he suddenly found that there were two more figures in front of him, but it was the entangled Evans and Paul who rushed to the vicinity at this time.

The body suddenly exerted force, Evans leaned on Paul's body and forcibly squeezed Paul back a step, just interfering with Redick who came to this position, so that his pace slowed down, and the ball in Evans' hand was pushed out and sent to Li Tian in the bottom corner.

"Li Tian received the ball, outside the three-point line, this is a big vacancy!"

Seeing this scene, the domestic commentator in front of the screen suddenly raised his voice and shouted, and the domestic fans looked at Li Tian who jumped up on the screen excitedly. Throughout the first half of the game, they didn't see Li Tian's performance too good, which made them expect more from Li Tiantian's first shot in the first half.

After receiving Evans' pass in the bottom corner, Li Tian threw the ball out of the midfield with the shooting feeling during the midfielder's warm-up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly while the ball was off his fingertips.

"Huh!" The next moment, the basketball fell into the net, three points, hit!

"The ball is in, three points!" At the same time as the basketball entered the net, the Kings fans in front of the domestic screen were jubilant!

This is Li Tian's first three-point goal in this game! Prior to that, he missed both three-point shots in the first half.

"Well passed, Terek!"

While retreating towards the backcourt, Li Tian did not forget to high-five Evans, who blocked Redick at the last moment to give him a more calm chance to shoot.

The Clippers' offense was still Paul pressing the rhythm, and Redick, who was opposite Li Tian, began to run quickly after coming to the halfcourt. Unlike Lee, Redick didn't play well in the first quarter, but found an offensive touch in the second quarter, hitting two three-pointers in a single quarter.

So at this time, after Redick began to run in a wide range, Li Tian didn't dare to take it lightly.

With the help of Griffin in the high post on the right side, Redick appeared outside the three-point line, and Paul also passed the ball to him as soon as possible.

But at the same time, Li Tian quickly bypassed Griffin's side and appeared in front of Reddick.

Sensing that Li Tian was in front of him, Redick did not shoot directly, but dribbled the ball to the side and rushed out of the space to dodge.

However, Li Tian seemed to have been prepared for this scene of Redick, and when Redick rushed out and jumped up, Li Tian also followed, jumped up on the side, and reached for the top of Redick's head with his long arms.

Whether it is height or speed of the arm, Li Tian is better than Redick, and at this time he is jumping on Redick's side, which makes his long arms more threatening.

Redick was also aware of this, and after realizing that he would most likely be blocked even if he shot, he twisted his body in the air, gave up his intention to shoot, and threw the ball back to Chris Paul.

However, Redick, who was in the air, was clearly lacking in strength when he made this move, and the speed of the pass was too slow.

When Paul saw it, he was busy stepping closer to catch the ball, but Evans, who was in front of Paul, reacted just as quickly and he was closer to the ball.

After taking a quick step to the side and jumping slightly, Evans grabbed the ball and ran towards the other half of the court with the ball after landing on the ground.

Fight back quickly!

It's the easiest way to score, and since there is such an opportunity, Evans naturally doesn't want to give up.

Not only Evans, but the rest of the players also rushed to the other side at this time, but there were only three people who could keep up in time, Paul took the lead in retreating in front of Evans, followed by Li Tian and Redick.

As for the rest, they couldn't keep up at the first time because they were closer to the basket, originally Griffin and Thompson were closer to the outside, but both of them moved to the basket to grab the rebound after Redick received the ball, and they couldn't keep up at the moment.

Evans rushed with the ball, his eyes were constantly scanning Li Tian's position, but the speed did not delay in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the three-point line on the other side.

At this time, Li Tian had also come to the three-point line.

Evans, who rushed to the free throw line, paused slightly, and seemed to be about to pass the ball to Li Tian, but just as Paul slowed down, Evans suddenly started and rushed to the basket.

Paul is one of the best point guards in the league on offense and defense, and was not shaken off by Evans' quick stop, just as Evans accelerated forward again, Paul also quickly moved sideways and moved closely to Evans' side towards the basket.

The two tangled and rushed to the three-second zone, Evans took a big step forward against Paul after holding the ball, and then jumped up and pressed Paul's right hand for a layup.

Immediately behind the two, seeing Evans facing Paul's defense and forcing a layup, with a wrong step, Li Tian flashed from Redick's side and suddenly accelerated to the basket.

Paul didn't take off, but his power allowed him to interfere with Evans enough in the next set. And with Paul's interference, Evans' layup was obviously affected.

The basketball bounces off the rebound, with a slightly greater force, knocks on the front side of the basket and falls out of the basket.

"Evans' layup was too hard...... Li Tian! ”

was regretting Evans' missed layup, and the next moment, the commentator yelled excitedly.

The basketball slammed into the hoop and fell out, and Reddick was about to jump up to catch the rebound, but at this moment, a pair of yellow-skinned palms had already appeared in front of him...... Li Tian!

Li Tian, who came wildly, jumped high at the moment when the basketball bounced off the basket, arrived in time, and grabbed the ball in his hand when the basketball was just out of the basket.

"Get in!"

With a low roar, Li Tian suddenly pulled up the basketball that had just arrived with both hands and pushed it forward, pressing towards the basket!

"Bang!"

Make-up deduction is successful!

"Roar!" "Lee, well done!" Holding the basket with both hands, he let his body flung forward with the inertia of the impact, and after he stabilized it again, Li Tian fell to the ground, and then collided with Evans who came from the bottom line, and the two let out a loud roar at the same time.

At 54:62, the difference is close to 8 points!
