"Coach, let me play!" Standing in front of Monty Williams, Eric Gordon took the initiative to ask to play, and the fourth quarter was about to begin, and Gordon had been sitting off the court for a few minutes.

Monty Williams glanced at Gordon, hesitated for a moment but nodded and said, "Erik, you have to stay calm, I don't want to see those aggressive attacks again." ”

"Don't worry, coach, I know how to do it." Gordon agreed, and sat on the sidelines for a few minutes, which had completely calmed him down.

Williams also saw that Gordon had calmed down, and his heart was slightly relieved, but he reminded again: "Pay attention to the rookie's running." ”

No wonder Williams reminded that Li Tian's off-ball run today left an impression on the Hornets head coach, and just after Gordon went off the court in the third quarter, Li Tian once again threw off the defender and shot a ball by running without the ball.

"Of course, Coach, I'll greet him on the defensive end." Gordon said coldly that he had completely fallen behind in the first two phases of the encounter, and if he didn't take advantage of the current opportunity, what he said before the game would become a joke.

On the other side, Li Tian, who is about to play, is not as optimistic as Gordon, because Evans has already left the court at this time, and now the team's three outside linemen are in addition to Li Tian himself, the other two are Thomas and Thorton, it is obviously impossible to receive passes as often as before, the only thing that makes Li Tian feel slightly better is that Robinson is also on the court.

The king took the lead in attacking, Thomas controlled the ball, with the idea of trying it out, Li Tian ran around again to the outside line, as he expected, Thomas did not pass the ball over at the first time, and Li Tian simply stopped running, just stayed outside the three-point line in the bottom right corner.

The ball was eventually completed by Thomas himself, and with the goal scored, the difference between the two teams came to 8 points, and at the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 83:77.

Eric Gordon really calmed down a lot, at least he didn't ask for the ball in the backcourt as before, but he still controlled the ball in his hands after coming to the half, but in front of him, Li Tian also defended with all his might.

Knowing that he would not have too many opportunities on the offensive end after Thomas came on the court, Li Tian made up his mind to devote his energy to defense.

In the face of Li Tian's tight defense, Gordon knew that he could no longer blindly go it alone, and beckoned, and he motioned for Anthony Davis to block and dismantle the previous year.

Davis stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, Gordon rushed to the basket from the side, and Li Tian quickly bypassed Davis at this time, and then he saw Robinson defending next to Gordon as he expected.

On the defensive end, Li Tian and Robinson had a tacit understanding, Robinson's blocking delayed Gordon's forward rush, seizing this little time, Li Tian re-attached Gordon, and Robinson quickly returned to Davis's side at this moment.

Leaning on Li Tian to move towards the basket, seeing that Robinson was eager to step forward at any time to help defend, Gordon understood that he didn't have a good offensive opportunity for this ball, stopped rushing forward, and pulled away from Li Tian, and the ball in Gordon's hand was sent to Davis's hands.

After receiving the ball, Davis took a step away from Robinson, then picked up the ball and spun his body to go around Robinson's side to attack the basket.

"Anthony, be careful!" Just then, Davis heard Gordon's voice and realized that danger was coming, and Davis was busy lifting the ball, but he was still a step too late.

After Gordon sent the ball to Davis, Li Tian's attention was on the confrontation between Robinson and Davis, and found that Robinson's defense against Davis was about to fail, and Li Tian immediately stepped forward to help defend.

At the same time that Davis finished turning, Li Tian happened to come to Davis's side, and when he saw the ball in front of him, Li Tian did not hesitate to reach out and cut it.

It may be the most appropriate to describe Li Tian with fast eyes and hands, although the speed of movement is not too fast, but the speed of Li Tianxia's hands is amazing.

"Smack!" Anthony Davis had just reacted, and Li Tian's palm had already cut into the basketball.

Li Tian's cut was very hard, even if Davis held the ball tightly enough, he was still destroyed by the force of this blow, and the basketball fell.

With a copy of it, Li Tian grabbed the basketball in his hand and made a steal!

After seeing Isaiah Thomas, he suppressed this impulse again, and then ran to the half court with the ball himself.

When the ball came to the half, Li Tian's eyebrows moved slightly, it was not his strong point to hold the ball to find offensive opportunities, and at this time, Gordon was obviously already defending with all his might, and it was obviously not wise to attack with the ball.

"Thomas!" Seeing that Robinson entered the three-point line at this time, Li Tian's eyes lit up and he sent the ball over.

Robinson was standing too far away at this time, which was not the offensive area he was good at, so although he held the ball in his hand, he had no idea of attacking, but paid attention to Li Tian's running, and with the tacit understanding with Li Tian, he naturally knew what Li Tian meant by passing the ball to him.

"Do you want to get rid of me again? Dream! After Li Tian passed the ball to Robinson, Gordon understood Li Tian's plan, and suddenly snorted coldly in his heart.

At this moment, Li Tian ran directly towards Robinson, and at the same time kept glancing at Robinson.

Gordon didn't see Li Tian's eyes, but he saw Robinson's movements, which made him who was following Li Tian suddenly have an idea.

Li Tian and Gordon ran towards Robinson with a half-body difference, and when the two ran closer, Robinson took the ball down with both hands and put it at his side, at this time, as long as Li Tian rushed over, he could hold the ball in his hand, and Robinson could just block Gordon.

"Little rookie, I can see through your tricks!"

Gordon smiled secretly in his heart, suddenly rushed forward, rushed to Robinson's side one step ahead of Li Tian, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the ball in Robinson's hand.

What Gordon didn't see was that when he made this move, a trace of mockery flashed in Li Tian's eyes, and the person slowed down.

Gordon reached out and grabbed the ball in Robinson's hand, but Robinson suddenly lifted the ball up at this time, and at the same time, Li Tian, who was slowing down, suddenly stopped and ran back, and Gordon distanced himself.

"Huh? Worst! Gordon rushed past Robinson, grabbed an empty hand in his hand, and after a little thought, he understood, and hurriedly shouted in his heart to turn around and defend.

But where is the time?

Gordon rushed past Robinson, Li Tian stopped and ran back, Robinson lifted the ball and passed, which happened almost simultaneously, and when Gordon turned around, Li Tian had already retaken Robinson's pass.

There was still a trace of mockery in his eyes, Li Tian raised the ball and jumped up and shot!

The basketball flew over the head of Gordon who rushed back, and then followed Gordon's line of sight, plunged into the basket, two points, and the ball went in!

"You've been tricked!"

Li Tian's obviously smiling words reached Gordon's ears, making his face gloomy as ink.

At this moment, the Hornets fans at the scene no longer shouted "Eric come on", and obviously, they also saw that Gordon did not have the upper hand against Li Tian today, and even had the upper hand in several encounters.

"Damn, why have you never heard of this guy before?"

Not only a Hornets fan at the scene asked such a question, even ordinary fans could see that Li Tian was very good in both off-ball running ability and defensive ability, but they didn't know such a player before.

In the field, Gordon had another thought, he had calmed down off the field, but at this time, there was only one thought in his mind, that is, to score, and he must complete a goal in Li Tian's defense.

A little calmer than the third quarter, Gordon also knew at this time to ask Davis to come forward to block the pick-and-roll.

As before, Robinson dodged again, but this time, he couldn't stop Gordon completely.

The body accelerated suddenly, and while Robinson did not completely block his breakthrough route, Gordon, who found a trace of space, broke through and rushed to the basket.

Robinson moved his feet and leaned on Gordon to move towards the basket, and Li Tian, who bypassed Davis, ignored Davis at the moment, and rushed inside after the two.

Maybe on the back line, Gordon's confrontation ability is not bad, but against Robinson, he obviously can't have the upper hand. Robinson was already standing more inside, and Robinson's movement speed was not slow, so Gordon couldn't break through Robinson's defense for a while.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the baseline, realizing that he couldn't break through Robinson's defense and rushed directly to the basket, Gordon picked up the ball, leaned his body against Robinson, and with the help of Robinson's rebound, Gordon's body took a step forward and jumped up.

Gordon's move distanced him from Robinson, who could no longer keep up in time at the moment, but the rebound from Robinson did not make Gordon better, and Gordon had to spend a lot of effort to balance his body after jumping.

Trying to stabilize his body, Gordon set his sights on the basket, because his jump height against Robinson's body was not as high as usual at this time, and naturally he couldn't shoot as calmly as usual.

When his body was about to fall to the ground, Gordon finally adjusted his shooting posture and threw the basketball, Robinson was obviously unable to interfere at this time, so he was also unusually relieved when he shot.

Robinson also understood that the interference he could bring to the other party at the moment was limited, so he didn't even raise his hand to take a step.

And at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed into the middle of Robinson and Gordon, jumping high, but it was Li Tian!

Closely following Gordon and Robinson, Li Tian has been waiting for an opportunity to move, and when he saw that Gordon was about to make a move, he jumped up with the help of inertia without slowing down, and at this time, the basketball was thrown from Gordon's hand.

With his palm waving, looking at the basketball that came to the front of his head, Li Tian instigated it fiercely!

"Smack!"

Like a smash in a volleyball game, Li Tian made a dull sound on the basketball with his palm, and then the basketball flew straight back in the direction it originally flew from.

Throwing the ball, Gordon was secretly happy that his shot was well adjusted, and the next moment, he felt a darkness in front of him, like a dark cloud.

Immediately, a strange sound reached his ears, and before he could fully react, he felt something fly in front of him like a cannonball, and then he felt a darkness in front of him, and a great pain came from his face.

"Bang!" The basketball that flew back smashed directly into Gordon's face, who didn't have any resistance, and the ball, smashed accurately and hard, directly hit Gordon's nose, and suddenly a bright red blood flowed out of Gordon's nose.

"Oh!" The sourness that came from his nose made Gordon can't help but cover his nose and let out a **.

The Hornets fans at the scene couldn't help but cover their noses when they saw this scene, and even onlookers could guess what it was like.

Two minutes later, when Gordon walked to the locker room with the team doctor, the Hornets fans on the scene looked at each other, and this plot seemed to be different from what everyone expected before the game.

Sure enough, it was a blow-up, but before the game, everyone wanted to blow up Li Tian, but now it's ...... Gordon's nose.
