After the start of the second quarter, Li Tian still stayed on the sidelines to rest, and both teams sent a half-main and half-bench lineup, with Adelman fielding Hayes, Thompson, Iguodala, McClymer, and Terry on the court.

On the other end, Howard and Harden were also rested, with Garcia, a veteran of the Kings last season, and Donatas Motaiyunas from Lithuania coming on in place.

Neither John Terry nor Beverley were known for being a playmaker, with Iguodala and Parsons becoming the de facto playmakers for the team.

Compared with the substitutes of the two teams, there is no absolute advantage on either side, in the case of the main players of the two teams singing the main theme of the offense in the first quarter, after entering the second quarter, the substitutes of both sides started a defensive battle, and in nearly 2 minutes, both teams did not score.

Because neither team scored, both managers did not call a timeout, and were waiting for the official timeout with three minutes to play.

At this time, there was a sudden change on the field.

The Kings attacked, and Terry possessed the ball until half-court and handed it to Iguodala. After receiving the ball, Iguodala rushed forward, and Iguodala directly began to break through.

Parsons did a good job defensively, holding on to Iguodala as he forced him to slow down after only one step into the three-point line.

There was no forced breakthrough for Parsons, and the ball in Iguodala's hand was thrown directly into the hands of McClymer, who was out of the three-point line at this time.

McClymer, who received the pass, continued to break through, but Garcia, the veteran who defended him, was a little unable to keep up with the pace at this time, and McClymer, who saw the opportunity, suddenly accelerated forward, rushed past Garcia and flashed out of space, and made a quick stop jump shot.

"Bang!" The ball smashed into the inside of the basket, bounced into the basket, and hit a two-point shot.

At 29:26, the king broke the deadlock first.

The Rockets tried to play a quick counterattack at this point, and Motaiyunas on the inside reached for the falling ball, then quickly stepped out of the baseline and threw the ball to Parsons.

"Beautiful, Andrey!"

However, all this was seen through by the experienced Iguodala, flashing from behind Parsons, Iguodala directly steals the ball, making Li Tian and other Kings players on the sidelines can't help but cheer loudly.

Iguodala, who completed the steal, did not stop there, and when the Rockets' players did not fully react, Iguodala dribbled the ball straight to the basket.

One step outside the three-second zone, Iguodala lifted the basketball into the air!

As a member of the slam dunk contest, although he was not able to win the championship of the slam dunk contest, Iguodala's bounce is very outstanding, and his dunking ability is extremely good.

At this moment, Iguodala, who is rising with the help of momentum, is imposing!

After re-entering the field, Motai Yunas finally gave up his intention to step forward to defend and dodged a step.

"Bang!" Without the interference of defenders, Iguodala will naturally not be the slightest polite, a tomahawk slam dunk, and dunk the ball into the basket!

"Tick!" "Oh!" With the referee's whistle, there were huge cheers from the king's bench on the sidelines, and Li Tian and others stood up and cheered loudly.

Rockets head coach McHale called a timeout, and at 31:26, the Kings had widened the gap to 5 points, which made the Rockets dare not be careless.

"Lee, Tyrek, Thomas, play!"

While the players on the court walked to the sidelines, Adelman turned to the bench and said, although the king had just played a wave of 4:0 to open up the difference, Adelman did not forget that the king did not score a point in the previous two minutes, so he took the initiative to make adjustments at this time.

Li Tian, Evans and Thomas Robinson came on for Hayes, Thompson and Terry.

"Tyrek, Andre, speed up the attack! Regardless of whether the opponent's attack is successful or not, seize every opportunity to counterattack! ”

This season, in addition to the normal positional offensive Princeton tactics, the King's small lineup has also worked very well, and after realizing that the team has a chance to extend the lead, Adelman decisively chose to speed up.

The Rockets, on the other side, also made a change, replacing Garcia and Beverley with Harden and Aaron Brooks.

Harden dribbled to the halfcourt, and it was not Lee Tian who was defending him, but McClymer, and Iguodala was going to play against Terrence Jones.

Iguodala was misaligned with Jones, as was Motaiyunas versus Robinson, but considering Iguodala's excellent defense, Harden opted to pass the ball to Motaiyunas on the inside.

Robinson is well aware of his height disadvantage, so after Motai Yunas received the ball, he held the bottom set tightly, and in recent times, Robinson has been learning interior defense with Hayes and assistant coach Turner, and the improvement has been obvious.

At this time, Robinson was able to withstand the lower game, and it was difficult for Motai Yunas to easily get close to the basket, but with such an obvious height gap, coupled with the fact that there was no one to help defend, he was unwilling to give up the offense like this.

Turning around and hooking hands, after squeezing Robinson a step back, Motai Yunas opted to shoot.

Robinson showed off the defensive skills he had learned over the years, resisting the urge to jump and interfere, and he was still tightly jammed on the opponent's lower plate.

Robinson's defense undoubtedly made Motai Yunas very uncomfortable, although the shooting point was not interfered with, but the next set was completely disrupted by Robinson's power to disrupt his rhythm, and his shot was no longer stable.

"Bang!" The ball spun around the basket and fell out, Iguodala rushed inside to grab the rebound, and at this time, Li Tian, McClymer, and Evans were already running to the frontcourt.

Iguodala, who grabbed the rebound, quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, but even then he still thought that the speed of the counterattack was too slow, and when he came to the center line, the ball in his hand was directly pushed out and sent to Li Tian, who was closest to him in front.

The frontcourt is three against three, and the Rockets' players are not slow to retreat, and at this time, the three Kings players are standing in front of each of them with defenders.

After seeing Li Tian receive the ball outside the three-point line, Parsons immediately took a step forward, and it was obvious that he was still very afraid of Li Tian's three-point shot.

Evans, who was on the other side, immediately took a step closer to catch the ball, Li Tian's ability to hold the ball was not very good, which Evans knew very well, so he decided to take the ball over and attack the basket, not to miss such a good counterattack opportunity.

After receiving the ball, he dribbled to the right and took a step, Li Tian did look like he was going to pass the ball to Evans, and Parsons also moved to the side at this time, ready to interfere with Li Tian's pass.

Change direction!

At this moment, Li Tian's right hand suddenly pulled the ball back and pushed it to the left side, and at the same time, his body also tilted to the left.

"Breakthrough?"

Finding that Li Tian was dribbling the ball and was about to rush past him, Parsons also reacted quickly, quickly moved sideways to the left, and stopped the route of Li Tian's breakthrough.

Seeing that Li Tian was about to be stopped by Parsons, and the other players of the Rockets were about to rush back, Evans was about to shout out to Li Tian for the ball, but he swallowed back before he could say anything.

"Squeak!"

Stopped by Parsons, who was moving sideways, Li Tian's original left foot was quickly retracted, and the left hand that dribbled around his back, and the ball that was originally on the left side appeared in Li Tian's right hand.

At the same time, Li Tian retracted his center of gravity towards the left side, and his right foot suddenly stepped forward, rushing to the right side!

Dribble behind and change direction!

Li Tian's move not only surprised Evans, but also made the defensive Parsons unprepared, Parsons did not expect Li Tian to have such excellent ball control skills.

Even if Parsons' reaction was not slow, it took him a little bit of time to adjust his footsteps when he had just taken a step sideways.

This little bit of time is not long, but it is enough for Li Tian.

Hasten! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Tian completely exploded his speed, rushed past Parsons, and dribbled straight to the basket!

"Beautiful! Li Tian's continuous change of direction completely shook Parsons......"

The domestic commentators and fans are excited at the moment, they have not seen Li Tian break through, but such a difficult dribble shaking is the first time to see it on Li Tian's body!

What made them even more excited was that at this time, no Rockets player could rush back to the basket in time to defend!

Breaking through Parsons' defense and dribbling to the outside of the three-second zone, Li Tian stepped forward with two big strides, adjusted his pace, stepped on the floor with the soles of his feet, bounced up, and flew to the basket......

"Bang!"

"Good shot! It's so beautiful! Li Tian's ball is so beautiful, a one-handed dunk after breaking through Parsons in a row! At the moment when Li Tian grabbed the ball with his right hand and smashed it into the basket, the high-pitched voice of the domestic commentator also reached the ears of the fans in front of the screen.

And on the spot......

“OMG！ Will Lee still do this? The Kings players all looked at the court in surprise, for them who were familiar with Li Tian, such a scene was really surprising to them!
