After Li Tian successfully defended Harden twice in a row and played a counterattack, the Kings have been counter-oriented, and they completely occupied the initiative on the court.

Although McHale called a timeout, it did not change the situation on the court, the Kings, who led by 13 points, were fully playing with momentum at this time, and the Rockets did not show the strength to completely suppress the Kings on both offensive and defensive ends.

Although the Rockets played a wave of 5:0 in the second quarter to narrow the gap to only 8 points, at the end of the first half, the Kings played another wave of 9:2, which allowed the Kings to lead into the second half with a 15-point lead at the end of the half.

At 59:44, although the Kings' offense didn't play well at the beginning of the second quarter, they played very well in the middle and late stages, which allowed them to score 32 points in a single quarter.

As the most active player on the court in the second quarter, Li Tian scored 18 points in a single quarter, and also had an outstanding performance of 1 steal, 1 block, 2 assists and 1 rebound, even in the entire first half, Li Tian, who scored 22 points, was also the best player.

Li Tian's outstanding performance has obviously attracted everyone's attention, including the head coach of the Rockets, McHale.

After the start of the second half, Li Tian became the focus of the Rockets, and McHale used Beverley and Ariza, who had excellent defense, to take turns defending Li Tian, starting from defending Li Tian to receive the ball, and arranging layers of defensive obstacles.

However, Li Tian is not the Li Tian of the past after all, his off-ball running is not easy for defenders to stop, and being able to break through also makes his attack more diverse, which allows him to still get some offensive opportunities.

And when the Rockets focus more on Li Tian, the rest of the Kings players also have a lot of opportunities, after all, the Rockets' current defense is not systematic, and it is extremely difficult to rely on the rotation of players to do it without leakage.

86:74, after the third quarter, the difference between the two teams narrowed to 12 points, in this quarter, although the Rockets did a good job defending Li Tian, allowing Li Tian to only score 3 points, but in defending the king's overall offense, it still did not do a good job, this quarter, the king also scored 27 points.

Fortunately, the Rockets scored 30 points in this quarter, narrowing the gap by 3 points, which also kept the suspense in the final quarter.

Standing up from the sidelines, Li Tian took off his jersey and walked to the court, with him was Cousins, at this time it was 5 minutes from the start of the fourth quarter, the Rockets had just organized the strongest counterattack in the second half, playing a wave of 6:0 small climax, which had narrowed the difference to only 5 points, and after a dead ball, Adelman chose to replace all the main players.

“De－fence！” “De－fence！”

Because of the narrowing of the point difference, there was also a strong shout and cheering on the scene, the king attacked, and the Rockets fans on the scene suddenly shouted the slogan of defense.

Both sides are pure main lineups, Evans possessed the ball to the halfcourt, and it was Harden who defended him, and Beverley, the starting point guard of the Rockets, was following Li Tian.

Compared to defending Li Tian, Harden is obviously more willing to defend Evans, and Evans' shooting ability is insufficient, which allows Harden to defend Evans' breakthrough with confidence.

Bending over in front of Evans, Harden chose to take a step away from Evans, after all, Evans's killing is more reflected in the breakthrough end.

Although he knew that Harden was deliberately letting himself shoot and defend the breakthrough, Evans did not reluctantly try to shoot, not even holding the ball, and after Cousins raised from the inside to the free throw line, Evans passed the ball to Evans' hands, and then cut to the basket.

When Evans cut to the basket, Harden didn't dare to choose to stay away, and if Evans received a pass in the cut, he could directly impact the basket.

Evans' run was a signal, and after he started moving, the rest of the Kings started moving. Thompson's three-second zone moved to the right mid-range, Iguodala who was originally outside the left three-point line ran to the top of the arc, and Li Tian, who stayed in the bottom left corner, moved along the three-point line and ran to where Iguodala was originally located.

Evans, who cut to the basket, was close to the three-second zone, and Thompson also happened to arrive, Jones immediately flashed and blocked Evans with Harden, but at this time, Evans did not continue to run to the basket, but turned and ran to the right corner.

Harden chose to follow, and Jones quickly rushed back to Thompson, who was already on the left side of the three-second zone, to prevent Thompson from receiving a pass from Cousins.

At this moment, Evans, who was originally running towards the bottom corner of the right side, suddenly ran back and cut into the basket again.

Harden has been thrown away by Evans' backrun, and seeing this, Jones, who had just come to Thompson's side, was busy recycling it to the basket again.

Evans, who came to the basket, successfully received a pass from Cousins and attracted the defense of Harden and Jones, and his body was surrounded by the two, and the ball in Evans' hand was quickly thrown out and passed to Thompson in the left mid-range.

At the same time, Li Tian, who had already run to the left 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, moved his steps again and ran to the bottom corner again.

By the time Thompson received the ball, Jones had no time to get back into defense, but he still had a Rockets player next to him, and that was Beverley.

Beverley followed Li Tian to move towards the left corner, and when Thompson received the basketball, he happened to be one step away from him, almost subconsciously, the defensive Beverley rushed forward and pasted Thompson on the side.

"Not good!"

However, Beverley soon realized that his choice was wrong, because in this way, Li Tian in the bottom corner would be completely empty.

Turning his head sideways, Beverley saw that the ball had flown out of Thompson's hand, and the target was Li Tian in the bottom left corner.

Quickly evacuating from Thompson's side, Beverley raised his hand and ran to Li Tian in the bottom corner, but his speed was obviously not comparable to the ball, not to mention, his start was half a beat slower than Thompson's pass.

Catch, jump, shoot! Li Tian's series of movements were extremely coherent, receiving the pass while running to the bottom corner, and then jumped up to shoot.

The good rhythm made Li Tian's shot very comfortable this time, and after the drop, his hand that threw the ball was still raised high, but it had become a three-point gesture!

"Huh!" And the crisp sound of wiping the net is more like the soundtrack for Li Tian's celebratory action.

"Good ball, Li Tian has contributed as soon as he comes on the field, this goal is very important!"

This is a crucial goal! 8 points! When Li Tian scored this goal, the difference between the two teams widened to 8 points, and more importantly, this goal helped the king stabilize the situation and let the king blow the horn of counterattack!

Evans broke through the ball, Cousins followed up with a layup, and caused 2+1, and the difference came to 9 points

Iguodala steals Harden, and a dragon completes a violent dunk, and the difference is 11 points.

Li Tian ran without the ball and hit a two-point shot from a mid-range range, and Evans forced a foul under the basket......

The Kings, who stabilized the situation, once again showed their strength on both offensive and defensive ends, and the difference gradually widened from 5 points to 15 points.

Three minutes before the end, the Kings once again gained a 15-point lead, which not only meant that the Rockets' counterattack failed, but also meant that the Kings had basically won the game.

In the final three minutes, the Rockets were unable to play a scoring climax, and although they also closed the four-point deficit, it did not help.

At 109:98, an 11-point advantage, the Kings won the game.

"The game is over, let's take a look at the data of both sides, Li Tian once again got 30+, and it was the highest score in the game......"

33 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, this is the data handed over by Li Tian in the whole game, not only in terms of scoring again, but also 4 assists are higher than his average of 2.1 assists per game this season, which is undoubtedly due to the improvement of his ability to control the ball.

In this game, Li Tian broke through to the basket many times like never before, and sent an assist after attracting the defense. Of course, this style of play is also a huge physical exertion for Li Tian, plus Li Tian's playing time in this game is higher than the usual game, reaching 28 minutes, and in the last 2 minutes of the game, Li Tian has obviously felt that his physical strength is insufficient.

However, Li Tian's performance not only allowed him to help the team win the game, but also allowed him to win against Harden.

Although Li Tian and Harden did not have a direct confrontation for most of the game, people still subconsciously compared the two together. Li Tian impressed everyone in the limited matchup time between the two sides in the second quarter, except for two fouls caused by Harden, he performed perfectly in the rest of the rounds.

As for the comparison of the statistics of the whole game, Li Tian did not fall behind at all, Harden also scored 30 points and handed out 7 assists, but the high 6 turnovers were unusually dazzling.

The fact that the numbers are almost the same, but the victory belongs to the king, speaks for itself.

Before the game, Harden said that he wanted to use the game to speak, but obviously, the result was not as he wanted, it was indeed the game to speak, but it was Li Tian who won!
