"Conley, you are great. This is too difficult. How did you do it? Passing the ball from someone's crotch. This must be the top five goals today." An angry Gasol walked past Durant. While talking, he praised Conley loudly.
When Durant heard about the top five shots, he wanted to be the backdrop and almost fell down.
Li Tian gave a thumbs up.
"Wow, the fun has finally begun. I'm really looking forward to the meeting between Lee and Durant's enemies. What kind of sparks will be wiped out." Barkley looked at Kenny.
"Don't look at me, I'm looking forward to it just like you..." said Kenny, who was a little shy.
The score between the two teams was tied again at 33-33.
Wilkins dribbled the ball across half court, and Durant kept asking for the ball toward Wilkins.
Unfortunately, Durant is the team's key training target this year, so they can only pass the ball to Durant.
Durant received the pass, signaled his teammates to pull away, and wanted to play Li Tian alone.
"Sparks are about to start flying. I'm really looking forward to it. One is the proud man of the past, the other is the proud man of this year, and he is also an opponent who made the other knee injured. It's too convoluted. You can see for yourselves. Well, I'm so exhausted that my tongue feels like it's useless." Buckley threw the pot away decisively.
"Yes, I thought you were wearing foot wraps today. No need to explain, let's watch the duel between the two rookies." Kenny did not forget to laugh at Barkley.
After signaling their teammates to pull away, everyone gave up the area to the two of them. The Sonics players did it because they had no choice but to make Durant the future of the team; while the Grizzlies did the opposite. The trust of Tian's defense, Li Tian's hard training every day, and the intra-team competition gave them absolute trust.
Holding his breath, he kept staring at Durant with sharp eyes.
Durant started dribbling with a high center of gravity. He knew that since his knee injury, Li Tian had lost his former speed.
Durant looked at Li Tian provocatively.
Li Tian suddenly accelerated, not even starting to use Death Coil.
"Snapped!"
He slapped the ball away from Durant's hand. The ball's center of gravity was too high.
Before Durant or anyone else could react, Conley had already started to hit the ball quickly.
Li Tian directly passed the ball to Conley, who was about to leave quickly, and he also accelerated the ball quickly.
Conley quickly advanced into the penalty area.
He looked back at Li Tian who was following behind him and nodded slightly.
Li Tian understood, and Conley threw the ball into the air.
Suddenly, he suddenly jumped up and smashed the basketball into the basket.
Don't forget to hit your chest hard when you land.
"It's great. The Li Tian who used to be is back again. Look at this speed and look at this bounce. It's perfect. Next summer, the national team will definitely go further and hopefully break the history of the men's basketball team. "Zhang Weiping roared excitedly.
"Yes, it's amazing." Yu Jia kept patting his thigh.
Li Tian made 2 of 2 shots from the field, contributed another steal, and scored 5 points in a row.
This time Durant couldn't stand it anymore.
He is the proud son of heaven, and Li Tian is just a man who has been injured and disabled.
Durant dribbled the ball directly from the backcourt and passed half court.
"I was just careless. Let's see how I beat you." Durant provoked Li Tian again.
"hehe!"
Although he didn't say much, he had such a contemptuous look.
It completely angered Durant. You are a young man, how can you bear this anger?
"Durant is going to challenge Lee again. I felt like he was a fool for that ball just now. He didn't react until someone started a fast break." Barkley is not afraid of offending others and dares to say anything.
"Durant has twice become the backdrop for the top five goals, and this has exploded. He is still too young." must have lamented.
"It seems that Li is younger than him."
Fortunately, Durant didn't hear it, but I don't know if he would vomit three liters of blood when watching the replay after the game.
Durant lowered his center of gravity and dribbled the ball, preparing to break through Li Tian head-on.
Just as he accelerated and prepared to break through Li Tian, Li Tian immediately made a death coil and stole the ball that had just passed through his crotch.
Conley, who was not far away, flew up to control the ball in his hands and slammed himself to the floor.
"Lee!" Conley shouted, reminding Li Tian to catch the ball.
Li Tian took the basketball Conley rescued from the floor.
He ran towards the backcourt in long strides.
Wilkins reacted early and accelerated from the three-point line to catch up with Li Tian.
Suddenly, Li Tian stopped directly outside the three-point line, and Wilkins, who had been accelerating, could not stop at all.
What Wilkins didn't expect was that Li Tian's fast break did not directly attack the basket, but stopped outside the three-point line.
Wilkins was helpless, unable to stop the car and could only look at Li Tian.
"Hey, why did he stop? Shouldn't he just dunk and score?" Barkley was confused.
"Haha, that's you. A person without three-point ability would do that. Didn't you notice that Li's three-point shot is very fast and stable? It must be that he practiced a lot during the summer."
In Li Tian's case, he scored a fast break dunk. No, it was only two points. I think three points are one more point than two points.
Li Tian looked at Wilkins running over and adjusted slightly.
Raise your hand and shoot a three-pointer.
The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air.
"Whoosh!"
Three-point hit.
After Li Tian made a three-pointer, he started celebrating. He put the classic gun-wiping gesture in front of him and blew it again.
The Grizzlies bench was boiling, shouting Li Tian's name crazily.
"plum!"
"plum!"
"plum!"
Li Tian made three of three and scored eight points in a row, shutting down the SuperSonics.
SuperSonics head coach Carlesimo touched his head with his hand and decided to call a timeout to appease his new disciple.
Carlesimo called a timeout.
"Li, you are great. Look at Durant, who has become your backdrop three times in a row." Gasol secretly patted Li Tian's butt again.
"Man, your three-pointer was so cool, especially your shameless celebration gesture." Milicic did not forget to tease Li Tian.
"Don't stop, stop, what do you mean by being shameless? I'm so handsome, okay?" Li Tian tried his best to defend himself.
"Lee, Conley, you are playing well, you must keep at it." Mark encouraged the two of them.
Continue to arrange the next tactics.
Guy sat down with a disdainful expression on his face.
Li Tian's outstanding performance also put pressure on Gay. Although he is much better than Li Tian on the offensive end, his defensive and outside abilities are much worse.
Li Tian also felt that Guy's eyes were unkind, but he didn't care at all. The most important thing now was to get more playing time.
After the timeout, Durant was replaced and sat on the bench to rest.
Li Tianshang's outside performance really made the Sonics break into a cold sweat and replaced him with Wilcox.
The Grizzlies didn't have a better attacker to attract the defense, so Li Tian didn't get a better shot. In the next few minutes, he only got 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
Mark off the court saw that Li Tian did not get angry because of his outstanding performance in the first few minutes, but worked hard to help his teammates and create opportunities for them when there was no chance.
The Grizzlies and SuperSonics played back and forth, and Conley performed very steadily, with 4 assists and only one turnover.
The Grizzlies steadily suppressed the SuperSonics and always maintained a lead of about 10 points.
With two minutes left in the second quarter, Li Tian and Conley were replaced by Mark to rest.
Li Tian played for 7 minutes and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 assist. His performance was outstanding.
