"Li Tian is back on the field!"

This is the third game of the Kings entering February, facing the Toronto Raptors on the road, and the game has reached the middle of the second quarter, and after the break with five and a half minutes left in the first quarter, Li Tian has only now returned to the court.

"In the first quarter of the game, Li Tian's hand was very good, his three shots were all hit, including a shot outside the three-point line, let's see if Li Tian will have such a good hand when he returns to the court."

Domestically, the game was broadcast again. Others dare not say that in China, as a fan of the Kings, one thing is relatively happy, that is, most of the Kings games can always be found live broadcast.

Li Tian returned to the court, except for him, only Thompson was not on the court of the other four Kings starters, and Li Tian's friend Robinson took over.

On the other side, the Raptors are all starting lineups at this time, with center Jonas Valanciunas, power forward Amir Johnson, small forward DeMar DeRozan, scoring guard Terrence Rose, and point guard Kyle Lowry.

The Raptors have improved significantly this season, failing to qualify for the playoffs last season, and this season, halfway through the season, they have a 26-22 record and a 55% win rate, placing them in third place in the East behind the Pacers and Heat.

In terms of record, the Kings, who are ranked fourth in the West, are better than the Raptors, and in today's game, the Kings who are playing at home have indeed shown stronger strength than the opponent, except for the beginning of the game after trailing the Raptors by 2 points, in the subsequent games, the Kings have maintained the lead on the court.

At 32:36, there were 6 minutes and 12 seconds left before the first half, although the difference was not too big. But the Kings still held the lead, and the Kings still had the ball.

After Evans controlled the ball to the half, Li Tian, who was in a good position at the baseline, quickly came out to receive the ball outside the three-point line, and he felt very good in this game, hitting all three shots in the first quarter, so after returning to the court. He also wanted to try his hand again.

Next to Li Tian was last year's No. 8 pick, Terrence Rose, a physical guard who bounced so well that he won the slam dunk contest during last year's All-Star Weekend.

When Li Tian rushed out of the three-point line, Terrence Rose actively followed, and he didn't know when it started, and the players of the 12th session played very actively when they met Li Tian. Perhaps it was because Li Tian was undrafted, but he already had a better performance and higher fame than most of his peers, which stimulated them a little.

Terrence Rose's active follow-up defense made Li Tian lose the opportunity to shoot the first time after receiving the ball, but Li Tian did not rush to hand over the ball, but dribbled back slightly and Terrence Rose slightly distanced.

When Li Tian was doing this action, Robinson, who was originally going to move towards the basket, ran out quickly and stood on Li Tian's side to block the dismantle.

Since knowing that Li Tian's ball-handling skills have improved, Adelman has also devised some tactics for his ball-handling offense, such as blocking and pick-and-roll.

Compared to last season, Robinson's pick-and-roll quality this season has improved significantly. In the past, he preferred to move to the basket immediately after the pick-and-roll, looking for opportunities to catch the ball or rush for rebounds. It's more about thinking about your own offense. And under Adelman's coaching staff, Robinson is now able to focus more on whether his teammates can get rid of defenders when it comes to pick-and-rolls.

At this time, Robinson was standing outside the three-point line and made a very tight block for Li Tian, Terrence Rose squeezed through with great difficulty from the side, and at this time, Li Tian had already dribbled the ball and rushed out of the left side of the meter.

Although Li Tian did not break through with the dribble directly, Aamir Johnson still took the initiative to change the defense and follow. Terrence Rose, who squeezed past Robinson, chose not to rush forward after a slight hesitation, because Robinson had already begun to cut under the basket at this time.

"Li Tian attacked Johnson with the ball, which was a clear misalignment, and Li Tian re-withdrew to the outside of the three-point line. It should be looking for an opportunity to break through. ”

Amir Johnson also understood that it was a misalignment, so when he saw Li Tian withdraw from the three-point line, he did not top the defense, but bent slightly to stay in place, and he had to leave enough cushion space for himself to buy reaction time.

Dribbling outside the three-point line, Li Tian stared at Amir Johnson's moves, and the frequency of the dribble began to increase, while staring directly at Johnson, as if looking for a flaw.

Looking at Li Tian's movements, Johnson's body suddenly tensed, and he already realized that Li Tian was about to make a move.

"Smack!" With his left hand, he slapped the ball hard, and at the same time as the basketball rebounded and fell into his hand, Li Tian moved!

Johnson, who thought that Li Tian was going to break through, subconsciously wanted to retreat, but soon he found that his judgment was completely wrong, Li Tian did move, but it was not a breakthrough, but a shot!

"Li Tian wants to ...... Shot! Li Tian shot against Johnson's defense! ”

The commentator in China was almost about to blurt out that Li Tian was going to break through, and after seeing this scene on the field, he was busy changing his words and shouting.

Johnson's defense was indeed half a beat slower at this time, and when he remembered to top the interference, Li Tian, who jumped up, had already shot.

Immediately after, the basketball passed through the net and made a beautiful sound.

"Huh!"

"Beautiful! After returning to the court, Li Tian hit a three-pointer for the first time, Li Tian felt really good today, and he shot very resolutely, and he scored 10 points in four shots so far. ”

Li Tian also realized that he felt very good at this time, so in the next round, he once again began to actively look for offensive opportunities, this round, his offense was easier than the previous time, after running in the half court, with the help of his teammates' cover to receive a pass, the right mid-distance direct shot, two points hit.

5 out of 5! Li Tian's playing time was divided into two periods of time very far apart, but he still maintained a 100% shooting rate, which was enough to prove that he had a good hand today, so when he ran from the right three-point line and came to the left three-point line, although Terrence Rose was already in place at this time, Evans still chose to put the ball in Li Tian's hands.

After Li Tian took the ball. Terrence Rose chose to take a step up close to the defense, Li Tian hit two consecutive shots, and Terrence Rose, as the defender, thought that he should not give Li Tian the slightest space to shoot at this time.

Li Tian doesn't like this kind of close defense very much, because of the lack of physical confrontation, although his speed is not bad, but once he is stuck by the opponent. It's often difficult to get out of defense.

And at this time, the pick-and-roll becomes a very good choice.

Without Li Tian's signal, after seeing Li Tian who was dribbling and being entangled by his opponent, Robinson had already rushed over to block and dismantle.

Robinson stood on the right side, and a pick-and-roll on this side could allow Li Tian to take the middle lane, where there were more breakout routes to choose from.

However, the Raptors' players didn't think that Li Tian would choose to break through at this time, and after Robinson stood down, Terrence Rose immediately chose to squeeze through the line.

When dealing with players who are good at breaking through. Defenders prefer to go around from behind after encountering a block to prevent the opponent from breaking through, and at this time, Terrence Ross chose to squeeze through the line, obviously worried that Li Tian would get shooting space with the help of such a block.

As Terrence Rose squeezed past the upper line, Johnson came around from behind Robinson, also on the right side, and moved slightly outside.

Dribbling with his left hand and pushing the ball to the right hand to change the ball to his right hand, Li Tian did move half a step to the right side at this time. However, just as Terrence Rose squeezed past Robinson to rush up and re-mount. Li Tian suddenly dribbled behind and sent the ball back to his left hand.

At the same time, Li Tian's figure, who had just taken a small half step, flashed, and the whole person had already rushed to the left side again.

"Oops!" Finding a figure flashing in front of him, Terrence Ross immediately realized that something was wrong and was busy moving back to the left.

But......

"Porphyry!"

Terrence Ross was greeted with a strong body!

Robinson, who completed the pick-and-roll, did not cut directly to the interior. Instead, he stayed where he was, and Terrence Rose, who was eager to chase after him, obviously forgot to squeeze past Robinson at the moment and be very careful to control his body, and crashed directly into it.

"Li Tian dribbled away from the defender and could break through...... Li Tian didn't choose to break through, he shot directly. Is there anything else? ……”

Terrence Rose was blocked by Robinson, but Li Tian had flashed back to the left side at the moment, and there were no defenders in front of him, if he chose to break through, he could easily rush to the three-second zone, even if Amir Johnson wanted to flash back to this side to block.

However, Li Tian, who felt hot in this section of the shot, did not choose to do so, flashed back to the left side, straightened after slightly bending his knees, and the others had already jumped in the air, three points!

"Coax!"

With Li Tian's two goals before, Li Tiancai just jumped up and made a move, and cheers were already ringing on the scene.

And the next scene did not disappoint the cheering fans, the basketball drew an arc in the air and fell straight into the net!

"Huh!" Three points, hollow into the net!

"Three-point shot...... Pregnant! All six shots! Li Tian's hand feels hot today! ”

After three consecutive rounds of shooting, Li Tian has scored 15 points on all six shots!

However, this was not the climax, after the Raptors completed an offense, back in the half, Li Tian broke through with the help of a pick-and-roll, and hit another mid-range pull-up jumper, which not only made the sleep train arena boil, but also forced the Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey to call a timeout.

has hit 4 shots in a row, and has hit 7 shots so far, Li Tian's shooting touch is really amazing! (To be continued......)

PS: Sorry, it's a bit late today. I also said it in the book review area before, because my sister's child suddenly fell ill and rushed to the hospital, I stayed in the hospital all day, and my mobile phone couldn't log in to the author's background, so I had to post a note in the book review area. After I came back, I also hurried to code words, but it was still very late to finish this chapter. It's tiring to toss around in the hospital today, so the remaining chapter will be updated tomorrow morning, and I'll try to finish it as soon as possible.
