Chapter 161: A slap to the ground!
Running from outside the left three-point line to the top of the arc, Li Tian took the initiative to reach out and receive Evans' pass, and such a simple run was obviously not enough to completely shake off Harden.
In fact, if Li Tian had used his running skills to run more aggressively, he might have been able to get a chance to get an offensive shot away from Harden, but now he hasn't done so.
Harden's two consecutive breakthroughs caused his fouls to make Li Tian very eager to return one with a breakthrough, coupled with his dribbling improvement, the breakthrough ability has just become stronger, and the excitement in his bones has not faded.
"Another attack on Harden with the ball, Li Tian looks very excited to play today, this offensive style is completely different from his previous style of play."
Seeing Li Tian attacking with the ball again, the domestic commentators couldn't help shouting at this time, in fact, it was not only they who were surprised, but also the Kings coach Adelman who was sitting on the sidelines was also very surprised.
As the head coach of the team, how can Adelman not understand Li Tian's technical characteristics, he knows very well that Li Tian's offensive ability with the ball shown today must not have been before, but he did not stop Li Tian's attack, when on the field, Adelman likes to let players have a certain amount of free play, not to mention that Li Tian's success rate of holding the ball today is also very good.
In the midst of everyone's attention, Li Tian in the court had already begun to attack at this time, and after receiving the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, he shook to the left, and Li Tian immediately dribbled to the right side.
Harden, who followed closely, just stood still, worrying about whether Li Tian would shoot the basketball, but Li Tian suddenly shook to the left at this time, making his footsteps subconsciously move in that direction, that is, seizing the opportunity of this moment, Li Tian started to dribble and rush to the right side.
has been in the opposite position with Li Tian and just made Li Tian suffer twice in a row, Harden was very excited at this time, so he was also very the defensive end, seeing Li Tian dribbling to the right side, he immediately reacted and moved sideways, blocking Li Tian's side in front of him.
Rushing forward quickly, Li Tian found that he did not completely shake off Harden, he did not try to directly accelerate from Harden's side to force a breakthrough, although he may not be worse than Harden in terms of speed, but it has not yet reached the level of strong Harden. And if he can't force him through one step, as long as Harden uses his body to stick to it, he is likely to be stopped by him, which Li Tian knows very well, so he didn't continue to rush forward and have physical contact with Harden.
The right hand of the dribble was suddenly pulled back, a crotch dribble, Li Tian sent the ball to the left side, and at the same time, the body that was originally inclined to the right side also returned to the right, and it seemed that he was going to turn to the left.
"Change of direction?" Seeing Li Tian's action, Harden's eyes rolled wider, and he immediately moved a small half step to the left, and when Li Tianchong took half a step forward, he directly pasted it.
"You've been fooled!"
found that Harden really judged that he was facing the left as he thought, Li Tian's left hand that had just touched the ball pushed out to the right front, and the low hand dribble sent the ball back to the right side, and the center of gravity that had just been adjusted was also lowered again, and the tight right foot suddenly exerted force, and the person had accelerated to the right side again.
"Wow!" Li Tian's series of actions were completed in one go, and from the sidelines, Li Tian broke through Harden's defense with a light change of direction feint, which made the Rockets fans on the scene can't help but let out an uproar!
As for the country, the excitement of the commentators and fans can be imagined.
"Li Tian broke through Harden, the change of direction of the dribble under the crotch feint, and he was going to attack by himself!"
Rushing past Harden, Li Tian did not rush directly to the basket, because at this time Howard was very close to the basket and had already moved his feet to make up for the defense.
"Squeak!"
With the sound of violent friction, Li Tian stopped his body rushing forward, and in the next moment, he had already jumped into the air.
Pull-up jump shot, this is a way for Li Tian to score with great confidence now.
"Damn!" And at this moment, finding that he was completely broken through by Li Tian, Harden was also extremely unhappy, he did not use his famous eyes to defend, but quickly turned sideways, followed by rushing forward and jumped up, reaching out towards the top of Li Tian's head, trying to interfere with Li Tian's shot.
Li Tian noticed this scene, his body that was originally jumping vertically leaned forward slightly, and while throwing the ball into his hand, Li Tian's waist exerted force, and his body stayed in the air for a little while.
While this amount of time is negligible when calculated with a timer, it is sufficient for what needs to happen on the basketball court.
Harden, who pounced, arrived at this time, and the palm that was originally going to interfere with Li Tian's shooting was on Li Tian's wrist!
"Hey!" Finding that things were happening as he thought, the corners of Li Tian's mouth rose slightly, his originally tight waist relaxed, and he let his body fall directly to the ground.
"Tick!" "Huh!"
The referee's whistle sounded almost at the same time as the sound of the basketball passing through the net, Li Tian, who was lying on the ground, got up from the ground after hearing these two sounds, looking at Harden, who was still innocent at this time, Li Tian said softly: "It's not just you who will make fouls." ”
After dropping this sentence, Li Tian high-fived his teammates and walked towards the free throw line, leaving Harden to mutter: "Shit!" ”
"Li Tian returned one, the shot caused Harden's foul, and also scored, causing 2+1, this ball looks good!"
In the game, the smooth team-wide offense will make the fans excited, and the same is true of the-for-tat between the players, even the fans at the Rockets scene are starting to get excited at the moment, because when they came to the other end, Harden got the ball again, and at this time it was still Li Tian who stopped in front of him.
Dribbling outside the three-point line to press the rhythm, Harden didn't rush to attack, but his appearance made it clear to everyone that he was going to play alone.
Li Tian gathered all his attention, and in the first two rounds, in the one-on-one defense with Harden, he ended in fouls, and he didn't want to be like this one.
After realizing that he had a physical advantage over Li Tian, Harden didn't want to use complicated moves at all, and he liked this kind of physical confrontation because it meant that he had a better chance of getting free throws.
Sticking to Harden's side, Li Tian carefully controlled his movements, his arms naturally opened, although his body leaned on Harden, he did not squeeze the other party, in this case, even Harden was not very good at rubbing his hand towards Li Tian.
The two stepped into the three-second zone closely, Harden's body habitually leaned towards Li Tian, at this time, as long as Li Tian would push him, Harden would have the confidence to let the referee blow the whistle, and if Li Tian did not push forward, he would be able to push Li Tian away with his strength, so as to get a chance to go directly to the basket.
Harden's plan is very beautiful, but Li Tian, who has the previous two experiences, is not willing to passively cooperate with the other party like this, he accurately judged the time of Harden's exertion, at this moment, Li Tian quickly slowed down, and at the same time turned slightly sideways, directly dodging Harden's close body.
Harden, who suddenly exerted his strength, had no focus at the moment, and his body suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall to the side, but Harden was indeed good, and at this time he forcibly controlled his body and forcibly jumped up to the basket.
Although the action was a little awkward at this time, and the jump was not high, Harden still chose to shoot, and he was quite sure to put the ball in the basket. However, Harden apparently forgot that there was a Li Tian by his side, and that Li Tian, who had no physical confrontation at this time, could jump without any influence.
"Still want to go to the basket? Dream! ”
Li Tian, who had just been fouled twice by Harden, realized that he finally had a chance to fight back, jumped up behind Harden's side, and his slender palm slammed towards the basketball that Harden raised!
"Smack!" The yellow-skinned palm accurately hit Harden's basketball that he hadn't had time to shoot, and the muscles of his arm agitated, gathering the strength of his whole body into his right hand, and Li Tian pressed down heavily!
Harden, who was still excited to control his body to complete the layup, suddenly felt like a dark shadow overhead, and then a force was transmitted from the ball to his body, completely losing the balance of his body that he was already struggling to control.
"Ahh
A roar didn't help, and in Li Tian's heavy pressure, Harden's body lost its balance and fell straight to the floor.
"Wow!" Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene once again burst into an uproar, and the Kings bench on the sidelines was boiling again.
"Lee!" "Cool, man!" Harden is still falling in the air, and the Kings players on the sidelines have already jumped up and shouted waving towels first!
"Oh, what do we see? Li Tian! Li Tian's cap! Li Tian slapped Harden to the ground! ”
"Bang!" In the midst of these exclamations, Harden, who lost control of his body, fell to the ground.
"Tick!" Before he could react, Harden felt something hit him, and then the referee's whistle followed.
"Nice cap! Domineering cap! Li Tian's block pressed Harden directly to the ground! It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful! The domestic commentator shouted again in disbelief.
And in the field......
"Wow!" Looking at Harden lying on the ground and the basketball that hit the opponent's body and fell off the court, Li Tian shook his fist and roared!
The first two failed defenses, this round, I returned them all! In such a domineering and crazy way!
Harden, who was lying on the ground, was completely stunned at this time, and the whistle sounded, but he didn't make a foul, and what made him feel even more surprised and depressed was that Li Tian, who was weak in his impression, actually sealed himself, and in such an almost humiliating way.
