Chapter 10: Who Abuses When?!
Anyone can see that Li Tian's goal is deliberate, he just waited for Isaiah Thomas to come forward to defend before making a move, and Li Tian's recklessness and confidence on the court also surprised these Kings players, in their impression that the Chinese are very restrained, and Li Tian looks like this on the outside.
Thomas couldn't control Li Tian's changes, he was angry in his heart, he originally wanted to teach Li Tian a good lesson, but who knew that he hadn't gotten the opportunity to perform, but was given ** by Li Tian! Li Tian's sentence "I in your face" is simply the biggest humiliation.
After dribbling to the half, Isiah Thomas did not pass the ball to others, but came directly to Li Tian, and he wanted to get back to the court.
The Kings players naturally saw Isiah Thomas's thoughts, and simply pulled them all away, and they were happy to see the two people in the locker room clashing on the court to resolve the conflict, especially when they were still quiet on vacation, and they were happy to see such entertainment.
Isiah Thomas swayed on the dribble from beyond the three-point line, then burst into action and rushed to the left to break through to the basket.
Last season, Keith Smart was transferred to the starting lineup, Isiah Thomas does have some ability, although he is not tall enough, but he has a hand in both breaking through and shooting, and Li Tian has a big gap in speed compared to him.
After Thomas's sudden start to rush forward, Li Tian couldn't stick it at the first time, and it became difficult to stop it again, so he could only follow Thomas's side behind his body, and then use his body to fight the interference when he made a layup, but Isaiah Thomas's layup still scored.
"Boy, there's no difference between you and an eighty-year-old lady!" After scoring a goal, Isiah Thomas finally found a reason to fight back and shouted arrogantly.
One more! Without defending Isiah Thomas, Li Tian could only use the attack to fight back, he knew where his advantage was, and he did not take the initiative to attack the ball after coming to the half, but started to run again.
Isaiah Thomas pays attention to Li Tian's running, and he has seen Li Tian run a lot of ways to shake off the defender's attack in the summer league, so he immediately chose to follow Li Tian after he ran.
But what level is Li Tian's off-the-ball running? The league is top-notch! Stepping on the inscrutable footwork, Li Tian's figure shuttled between other players, even though Isaiah Thomas concentrated the greatest attention to judge the follow-up, but after Li Tian's two consecutive direction changes, Isaiah Thomas sadly found that he was dumped.
Watching Li Tian receive the ball outside the three-point line, Isaiah Thomas hurriedly rushed over, and his heart burst into foul language, his speed was obviously faster than Li Tian, but Li Tian was drilling around like a loach, so that his speed could not be played at all.
This time, Li Tian didn't wait for Isaiah Thomas to rush forward, and after receiving the ball, the good rhythm allowed Li Tian to shoot the ball as soon as possible.
As Isaiah Thomas rushed to him, Li Tian landed just in time, and the basketball flew over Isiah Thomas's head and landed inside, and then plunged into the basket when he looked back.
"Huh!" Hollow into the net.
After completing the goal, Li Tian did not rush back anymore, standing in front of Isaiah Thomas, he raised three fingers high.
"Isn't it just three points? Boy, you wait. With a cold snort, Isiah Thomas turned around to receive the serve from the baseline, dribbled to half-court and prepared to make a three-point shot to fight back.
But after coming to the three-point line, Thomas found that Li Tian actually posted it directly.
Now that he knows that Isaiah Thomas wants to shoot three points, of course Li Tian will not give Isiah Thomas too comfortable space to shoot, and at this time, he is no longer afraid of Thomas's breakthrough, and he chooses to stick to it as soon as he comes up.
Isaiah Thomas dribbled the ball, if he wanted to break through Li Tian, he was completely sure, because Li Tian's defense was too far at this time, but he had just said that he wanted to shoot three points, if he chose to break through again, wouldn't it mean that he admitted that three points were not as good as others?
With that in mind, Isiah Thomas made up his mind to shoot a three-pointer.
Taking a step to the right, Isaiah Thomas looked like he was going to completely rush past Li Tian, he hoped to make Li Tian step back and get space to shoot in this way, but Li Tian was not fooled at all, and stuck the three-point line position, which was like telling Isiah Thomas that if you want to break through, you should break through.
"Damn it!" scolded Li Tian in his heart for being slow to react, but Isaiah Thomas didn't really break through and rushed in, took a step back to the right back, returned to the three-point line, flashed a trace of space, and he quickly jumped up.
Li Tian also quickly moved sideways at this time and jumped one step at a time, raising his hand high to interfere, although he was not as good as the other party in terms of bounce, but the extra height of nearly 15 centimeters plus the arm span was enough to bring great interference to Isaiah Thomas.
"Bang!" It was already quite difficult, and coupled with Li Tian's interference, the basketball thrown by Isiah Thomas finally smashed on the basket and bounced.
Robinson jumped to his feet under the basket, and the ball returned to the rookies again.
Chase while you win! Li Tian will not just do it because Isiah Thomas didn't score a goal, he is not so kind.
Robinson put the ball in Fredette's hands, and by this time Li Tian had already run past the halfway line and was still running forward.
Fredette dribbled forward, and when he came to the halfway line, he saw Li Tian, who was running one step outside the three-point line at this time, beckoning to him for the ball, so he passed the ball directly.
Li Tian took a step forward after receiving the ball, and Isaiah Thomas was busy taking a big step back, ready to intercept Li Tian's impact. In normal times, there would be teammates to help defend and defend, but today in such a situation, Thomas knew that it was impossible to get help from his teammates.
"Squeak!" However, Li Tian did not hit the basket as Isaiah Thomas imagined, and took a step forward after receiving the ball, and in the sound of the friction between the shoes and the floor, Li Tian stopped rushing forward and jumped.
Isaiah Thomas only realized that he had been fooled at this time, and he was busy stabilizing his body and pounced on Li Tian, but after all, he was still a step slower.
"Huh!" Three-pointer, again!
Turning around, Li Tian ran to the other half court, leaving Thomas with a back in the No. 3 jersey and the three fingers raised high.
"Hey, Lee, that's so handsome!"
Robinson, who had just run to the middle line, stood there waiting, and after Li Tian ran over, he shouted and stretched out his hand to high-five Li Tian, with his relationship with Li Tian, of course, he was on Li Tian's side.
After Isaiah Thomas dribbled to the halfcourt, the rest of the Kings players all stood still, watching with interest, originally they saw Isaiah Thomas finding Li Tian, and they were still thinking that Thomas was going to teach Li Tian a good lesson, a rookie, but they didn't expect that now it was completely reversed, and it was Li Tian who had the upper hand on the court, Thomas didn't have any counterattack except for that breakthrough layup, and that shot was not exciting.
Isiah Thomas is also well aware of this, so he is determined that this shot must be counterattacked, and he must fight back in the place that Li Tian is most proud of, that is, shooting, three-point shooting.
However, Isaiah Thomas also understands that it is difficult for him to complete the shooting under the interference of Li Tian, who is tall and long-armed, because Li Tian is sure that he will shoot three points, so it is not easy to find space with dribbling. In that case, he didn't have the ball to run and shoot, Isaiah Thomas had an idea.
The more Isiah Thomas thought about it, the more it made sense, running off the ball was Li Tian's forte, and if he also completed a shot in this way, he could hit that kid hard.
So, Isaiah Thomas passed the ball to Tyrek Evans and started running.
Evans didn't expect Thomas to pass the ball to him suddenly, almost missed the catch, and after seeing Thomas running, he was also very cooperative, so he dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and waited for the pass.
Finding that Isaiah Thomas also started to run without the ball, Li Tian immediately followed, and his heart was secretly happy, he understood why Thomas chose this way, but such a choice was undoubtedly beneficial to Li Tian.
Isaiah Thomas thinks that his speed is good enough to get rid of Li Tian, but he obviously forgot that in the half-court running without the ball, because of the large number of people, it is difficult to give full play to the advantage of speed, and in terms of the technique of running without the ball, he can't even beat the horse to catch up with Li Tian.
Following Thomas, Li Tian could clearly judge Thomas's every running choice in advance, which made him follow Thomas's side effortlessly.
While rushing towards the three-point line, Thomas asked Evans for the ball, he could feel that Li Tian was not far from him, but at this time he couldn't care about it, as long as he was not completely killed by Li Tian, he had room to shoot.
Just as Thomas rushed outside the three-point line, Li Tian, who was originally following Thomas's side, suddenly accelerated, and almost at the moment when Thomas got the ball, Li Tian had already come to Thomas's side.
"Damn!" Isaiah Thomas knew that Li Tian was following closely, but he never expected that he would follow so closely, Li Tian, who was more than ten centimeters tall, brought him a lot of pressure at this time, but at this time, his body had already jumped up with the inertia of his movements, and there was no way to change it.
Li Tian and Thomas jumped up almost at the same time, maybe Li Tian was a little slower for a moment, but his height and arm span had made up for all this, sticking to Thomas's side, Li Tian's arm reached out, and his palm came to the top of Thomas's head, pressing towards the basketball that had not yet had time to shoot.
Cover!
"Smack!" Hearing the dull slapping sound overhead, Thomaston's heart sank.
"Oh!" The basketball fell, hit Thomas's body and rolled out of bounds, and the scene also resounded with the exclamations of the other Kings players, and Li Tian's accurate judgment amazed them.
Standing in front of Isaiah Thomas, Li Tian didn't speak, just shook his head at Isaiah Thomas, but the rich expression on Li Tian's face said it all, which made Isaiah Thomas angry.
"Isaiah, stop continuing." Evans walked over to remind him that Keith Smart was already frowning on the sidelines, clearly unhappy with the back-to-back ball fights between Li Tian and Isiah Thomas.
But Isaiah Thomas obviously didn't understand what Evans meant, he thought that Evans thought that he lost to Li Tian, his face became more and more ugly, Isaiah Thomas said hatefully: "Tyrek, don't say it again, I must kill that rookie!" ”
"Boy, there's a kind of shooting from beyond the three-point line and breaking through to the basket." Catching up with Li Tian, Thomas shouted coldly.
Isaiah Thomas can also see that Li Tian feels very good today, and Li Tian's excellent running without the ball makes it very difficult for him to prevent it, so he uses the aggressive method.
Li Tian didn't speak, and after throwing Thomas a "you idiot" look, he ran aggressively again, which made Thomas secretly hate.
There were no surprises, and despite Isaiah Thomas's hard work, there was nothing he could do to stop Li Tian from running without the help of other team members.
When Li Tian ran to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, he got another opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, Isaiah Thomas rushed from afar, and when he saw Li Tian raise his hand to shoot, he was busy jumping up.
Jumping into the air, Isaiah suddenly found that Li Tian didn't shoot, and just after Thomas jumped up, Li Thorn rushed over from the side, and at the same time, Isaiah Thomas heard a word floating in the air.
"I broke through!"
Thomas turned around and wanted to chase after landing, but he gave up after a glance, and at this time, Li Tian had already dribbled the ball and rushed to the free throw line, and he couldn't catch up even if he took off his pants.
A few seconds ago, Thomas was still provoking Li Tian to break through, but now, when Li Tian really broke through, Thomas was powerless to stop it, which is really extremely ironic.
Li Tian rarely dunks, but that doesn't mean he can't dunk, it's just that it's difficult to get rid of defenders and dunk with his explosiveness in the game, not to mention that he may have to face interior defenders.
But now that hasn't happened, Isaiah Thomas has been left behind by him, as for the rest of the White Team? Who would be so ignorant?
It was a completely smooth road, Li Tian jumped up with the help of momentum, and with almost all his strength, he smashed the ball to the basket with one hand.
"Bang!" The ball is smashed into the basket!
With the help of the basket to stabilize his body, Li Tian turned around after landing on the ground, glanced at Isaiah Thomas, who was still standing at the free throw line, and raised the corners of his mouth proudly.
Who is abusing whom?
