Chapter 151: Post-Game Deliberation
"It was a wonderful game, full of twists and turns, and in the end the king had the last laugh, and when he was 13 points behind in the first half, the king reversed in the second half and won the game with Li Tian's last quasi-stunner!"
"Li Tian has undoubtedly become a key figure in the team's victory, he scored 26 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the game."
"Li Tian has played an excellent performance in several consecutive games, which is the best response to the outside world at the beginning of the season, let's review the wonderful footage of Li Tian's game together......
When the commentator continued to chat about the game, Li Tian and the others had already walked into the visiting team's locker room, which was not their home stadium after all, so they didn't stay on the field for too long to celebrate.
"Dude, I have to say, that shot was fantastic!"
"It turns out that the Clippers are not that strong, ha, the victory is ours."
As soon as the Kings entered the locker room, they once again celebrated the hard-won victory tonight.
"Great, boys, you guys played a good game!" Adelman did not hesitate to praise himself at this time, and of course Adelman had no reason to be unhappy that the team was able to play the tactics completely at the last moment and play successfully.
After a burst of laughter, Evans turned to Li Tian and smiled and said, "Lee, I think the fans in Los Angeles will hate you from now on!" ”
Li Tian knew that Evans was talking about the quasi-shutout in this arena for the past two seasons, and shrugged his shoulders, and he said indifferently: "Let them hate it, as long as the Kings fans like me." ”
"I'm afraid there will be more and more fans of other teams who hate me in the future." Li Tian secretly said in his heart that as his ability improves, if the king's record becomes better and goes further, I am afraid that the fans of other teams will hate him more and more.
Los Angeles is not far from Sacramento, so the Kings didn't stay in the locker room for long, and they left directly to return to Sacramento after packing up.
And this game between the Kings and the Clippers is being widely reported by the media.
"Li Tianzhun Kills, King Narrowly Defeats Clippers", "King Reversal Wins Clippers, Li Tianzhun Dedication Quasi-Kill", "King Narrowly Defeats Clippers by 2 Points, Li Tianzhun Becomes the Biggest Hero" ......
Whether it is the domestic media or the foreign media, there is one name that cannot be avoided in the reports about this game, and that is Li Tian!
In the first half, he fell into a foul crisis and performed poorly, and in the second half, he scored 20 points to help the team adversity, and finally gave a quasi-stunner, Li Tian's performance in this game is indeed commendable.
And most of the reports chose the same photo on the accompanying picture, that is, the scene when Li Tian broke through and shook Dudley to complete the stunner after receiving the ball.
The vast majority of people believe that Dudley is lying behind Li Tiantian and jumps out to shoot, this moment is the most exciting picture since Li Tian entered the league!
Some fans who didn't watch the game couldn't help but cry out after turning on the news, regretting that they couldn't see the live broadcast of the game, and then immediately found the video to watch the replay.
As for those fans who had already watched the live broadcast, they were active in major forums at this time, discussing the game.
There is a discussion about Li Tian's performance in this game:
"Li Tian's performance in this game was too good, he only scored 6 points in the first half, and he scored 20 points in the second half, and the last goal was too handsome!"
"Yes, those successive runs are so beautiful, and in the end, they directly shook the defender to complete the quasi-lore!"
There is a discussion of the Kings of the whole team:
"The Kings are 6-5, the winning rate has exceeded 50 percent, this is to rise rhythmically, and I am optimistic that the Kings will enter the playoffs this season."
"Although it is not easy to enter the playoffs in the West, I think the Kings will definitely be able to enter, and when the team runs in better, the record will definitely improve."
"As long as the King can play well, with Li Tian's current performance, I will be a King fan in the future."
The King's Zone, which has been deserted in previous seasons, has become more and more lively this season, and its popularity is still rising, and Li Tian has obviously contributed to all this.
Especially as Li Tian regained his form, although it was only three games, the attention has increased again.
Of course, some people like it, some people hate it, such as the fans in Los Angeles, who hate Li Tian very much now.
"Tragedy, I sat on the sidelines and watched the game between the Kings and the Lakers last season, and I didn't expect that Chinese player to hit that damn shot again tonight! I hate that guy! ”
"Is that guy excited every time he comes to Staples Arena? Damn it! ”
Last season, Li Tian defeated the Lakers with a quasi-kill, and now he has defeated the Clippers with another quasi-kill, and Los Angeles fans can't like him even if they want to.
Of course, there are also some more sensible fans who don't look at it from the same angle.
"This summer, we should actually poach that Chinese guard into the team, he doesn't shoot worse than JJ Redick, but he is better defensively."
"Yes, even though he doesn't look strong, he seems to be good at running and jumping, and he shoots well defensively, which is the player we need the most on the team, and JJ's shooting is great, but his defense is a problem."
These fans compared Li Tian to Redick, and then found that Li Tian seemed to be more suitable than Redick to partner Paul in the backcourt.
From this point of view, it is clear that Li Tianzheng has been recognized by more and more people through his performance, even if it is the opponent's fans.
After the Clippers game, the Kings had another day off, but fans were still able to see Lee on the screen, and that was in the top ten.
Li Tian's quasi-stunner was listed at the top of the top 10 balls of the day's game, and he shook Dudley down with continuous runs, and helped the Kings win the game after hitting the basket, whether it was from the excitement of the ball or the significance of this ball, it was well deserved to be listed in the top of the list.
Li Tian has performed quite well in three consecutive games, which is a very loud response to those doubts in the previous period, although there are still people who think that Li Tian's performance is not sustainable, but direct criticism from the outside world has rarely been seen.
After all, no one is going to constantly question a player who is performing well.
With Li Tian's outstanding and stable performance, it also made his position in the team more stable, and in the subsequent team training, Li Tian could clearly feel Adelman's importance to himself, and when practicing offensive tactics, Adelman even added a few new tactics specially designed for him.
Compared with Li Tian, Thomas's situation is obviously much worse, and he seems to be more and more out of place with the team.
In fact, Thomas had a good season last season, and he was doing well on the offensive end of the pitch going into this season and ahead of this game.
But a few things in the locker room made Thomas extremely embarrassed when facing the Kings players, although the players in the Kings team did not take the initiative to reject him, but it is clear that Thomas himself took the initiative to alienate everyone.
At this time, the news of Thomas's departure has spread throughout the team, and everyone knows that Thomas's departure is inevitable, after all, if a player himself wants to leave very much, the team generally does not force him to stay, but just hopes to get enough chips.
To be precise, the news of Thomas' departure is not just spreading within the team, but also by the rest of the league, and several teams have already shown interest in him.
Although his lack of height has suffered a bit on the defensive end, Thomas's performance on the offensive end is still valued by many teams, he can shoot suddenly, and his scoring efficiency is not bad.
In fact, if it weren't for Thomas's determination to leave the team now, Adelman would have wanted Thomas to take on the role of the team's sixth man, a player who can stand up from the bench and score at any time, and the team would have needed it.
However, because the strength of the bench players in the team is enough, the Kings do not have to keep Thomas, and now the King's job is to find a team that is willing to accept Thomas and can give the right chips to make the Kings look good.
