"Lee, vote beautifully!"

With Jim Ain's emphasis at the timeout, the Kings players immediately retreated to the half court after Li Tian's shot, and although they couldn't celebrate Li Tian, it didn't prevent them from giving Li Tian a thumbs up.

On the sidelines, McHale felt a lot of regret in his heart, this ball Rocket almost succeeded in defense, if the King's offense was prevented, the Rockets had every chance to overtake the score, but now, with Li Tian's three-point shot, the score of the two teams became 52:56, and the difference was widened to 4 points, which means that it is almost impossible for the Rocket to complete the chase with an attack.

Although the Rockets players were also slightly demoralized by Li Tian's three-point whistle, they still launched an attack quickly.

Only this time, the whole Kings team was on guard, Jeremy Lin dribbled to the front court to see that all his teammates were sticked, and he was still blocking Evans in front of him, so he had to suppress the rhythm.

Li Tian was sticking to Harden's side, and one hand was leaning forward, so tight defense that Jeremy Lin, who was still thinking about handing the ball to Harden, turned his eyes to other places.

"Jamie!"

At this time, Harden took the initiative to call Jeremy Lin's name, and at the same time, his body squeezed Li Tian behind him.

Since Harden took the initiative to ask for the ball, Jeremy Lin also sent the ball to Harden's hands.

Under Harden's squeeze, Li Tian couldn't stop the opponent from receiving the ball, and after Harden received the ball, Li Tian quickly took half a step back and distanced himself from Harden.

In the face of a player like Harden who can shoot suddenly, it is obviously not a smart approach to blindly choose to cling close, and Harden can even break through directly with just one turn.

Holding the ball with both hands, Harden bent down, his hands constantly shaking to interfere with Li Tian's breakthrough, and then suddenly straightened his waist and lifted the ball up.

Harden's action is very similar to shooting, however, Li Tian did not dare to completely lift the center of gravity to prepare for jumping, Harden's shooting is somewhat similar to Ginobili, their jumps are not high, and they are also very realistic in shooting feints, if you rashly raise the center of gravity or jump at this time, it is very likely to be directly broken through.

Lifting the ball up, Harden didn't shoot directly, and after making a shooting feint, Harden immediately smashed the ball to the floor and rushed to the left.

"Sure enough!" Seeing Harden break through, Li Tian was secretly glad in his heart, if he completely raised his center of gravity or jumped just now, he would have been cleaned up by Harden at this time.

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Tian's movements were not slow at all, and he took a step sideways, Li Tian stopped in front of Harden, tightly blocking the opponent's forward route.

"This guy wasn't deceived?"

Harden was a little surprised that Li Tian was not deceived, and suddenly had a thought in his heart.

"Porphyry!" The bodies of the two had a slight contact, but there was no too fierce collision, and at the same time as the body hit Li Tian, Harden, who was originally rushing forward, suddenly took a step back and retreated back to the three-point line.

It's Harden's most common and very good step-back jumper.

"I knew you wanted this trick!" Regarding Harden's retreat, Li Tian had already prepared a step, and said secretly in his heart, Li Tian quickly pounced and raised his hand to interfere.

"Damn, I didn't shake this guy!" Harden muttered to himself again, but at this time, he only had to shoot.

"Bang!" Li Tian's defense still brought interference to Harden after all, and at this time Harden was already outside the three-point line, and the difficulty of shooting was higher, and the basketball bounced up after smashing the basket and was directly taken off by Cousins, who jumped up.

"Attack!" As soon as he got the ball, Cousins handed the ball directly to Evans, and with a loud roar, Evans immediately dribbled the ball straight to the other half.

Li Tian and Harden rushed to the front, and by the time Evans dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, Li Tian had already rushed to the perimeter of the three-second zone with Harden.

"Squeak!" There was a violent friction sound between the sneakers and the floor, and Li Tian, who was still rushing forward, suddenly stopped and ran back, and at the same time, his hand was raised high to ask Evans for the ball.

Coming to the middle distance on the right side, Li Tian took Evans' pass and was wondering whether he needed to use a shooting feint to shake off Harden, but at this time, Li Tian was surprised to find that Harden was one step away from him, and he didn't have the slightest intention of rushing up to defend.

"Look down on my shots?" Li Tian was a little surprised by Harden's behavior, but he jumped up without hesitation!

Li Tian didn't understand the reason for Harden's performance at this time, fans who often watch Rocket games are familiar with such a scene, seeing Harden standing in front of Li Tian in the court with no defense at all, many Rocket fans couldn't help but hold their heads with their hands: "Damn, James Harden is defending with his eyes again." ”

Harden has long eyes and beard, and if he widens his eyes, he can scare some children, but it is obviously impossible to scare Li Tian with such eyes.

"Huh!" Without any defensive pressure, Li Tian easily shot the ball.

At 52:58, the Kings lead by 6 points!

"Defend! Pay attention to the opponent's shots! McHale, who was on the sidelines, also had a big headache when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help but stand up and shout into the field.

Although he was not active on the defensive end, Harden was unusually positive on the offensive end, and he asked for the ball again just after halftime.

Breakout, after missing the previous shot, Harden slammed the ball to the floor and began to rush to the basket after receiving the ball.

"Porphyry!" Li Tian judged the direction of Harden's breakthrough, and once again blocked Harden with his body, but this time, Harden did not keep it anymore and hit Li Tian heavily.

The power from Harden made Li Tian couldn't help but take a step back, and among the No. 2 players that Li Tian came into contact with, Harden's strength was undoubtedly outstanding.

Li Tian's retreat allowed Harden to find room to break through, and rushed out again, Harden directly squeezed Li Tian away and killed the inside.

Moving his feet quickly, Li Tian was close to Harden's side, although there was a gap in strength, but without a head-on collision, such a gap was not so obvious, which allowed Li Tian to lean on Harden's side and move towards the basket.

Dribbling the ball and taking a step forward, Harden picked up the ball, scouted to the front with both hands, and strode to the basket.

Seeing this, Cousins quickly moved his steps forward to attack, but Harden did not dodge, leaning on Li Tian at the same time, his body collided directly with Cousins.

When the body was squeezed in the middle by Li Tian and Cousins, Harden raised his hands, and the ball in his hand flew out suddenly.

"Tick!" At the same time as the ball flew off the baseline, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

Defensive fouls!

Seeing the referee's gesture, Li Tian's brows furrowed, but he didn't touch Harden's hands at all, could it be Cousins?

Turning his head, Li Tian looked at Cousins, and found that Cousins was full of anger at this time, and then Li Tian heard Cousins' shout: "Shit, that guy lost the ball himself." ”

Seeing Cousins talking and walking towards the referee, Li Tian suddenly secretly shouted: "Not good! ”

With Cousins' temper and his state of mind at this time, Li Tian could almost imagine that Cousins would definitely not have any good tone towards the referee.

Quickly rushing out two steps, Li Tian went around to Cousins, and while blocking the opponent with his body, he shouted: "DeMarcus, calm down, it's just a ball." ”

"Damn, I didn't touch that guy's hand at all." Cousins did not calm down because of Li Tian's obstruction, and said angrily, at the same time, his hands pushed Li Tian's body, and he was about to push Li Tian away.

"What a temper tantrum!" Seeing this, Li Tian was secretly anxious, at this time for the king, the situation is still favorable, although Harden caused a foul, but even if he hit two free throws, his team still has a 4-point advantage, if Cousins impulsively blows a technical foul, or is sent out of the game, it is really bad for the king.

"DeMarcus, don't be impulsive!" Just when Li Tian was in a hurry, several other Kings players finally rushed over, and Evans also reached out and dragged Cousins and said.

Under the tugging of several players, Cousins finally stopped, and Li Tian immediately took the opportunity to say: "DeMarcus, it's just a ball, let's go back, man, let's ...... like this next."

After listening to Li Tian's words, Cousins's face slowed down slightly, and then his eyes began to shine, staring at Li Tian and saying happily: "Li, just do it!" ”

Li Tian's last words were whispered around Cousins' neck, so even Evans and the others who were standing aside didn't hear it, seeing Cousins's anger disappear, and finally with joy, the rest of the people looked at each other, not understanding what Li Tian said to make the bad-tempered Cousins mood suddenly better.

"Lee is getting more and more integrated into this team!" On the sidelines of the court, Jim Ain, who also knew Cousins' temper, was about to call a timeout to calm Cousins, but after seeing a scene on the court, he dismissed the idea while sighing in his heart.
