The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 272 Changing the Situation

Klay Thompson hit the iron with Lip's mid-range shot, and Green took the opportunity to grab an offensive rebound.

Iguodala passed back to the corner and hit the iron with a three-pointer. As a result, the offensive rebound happened to fall into his hands again and he made a mid-range shot.

85:92, the Warriors continued to maintain the suspense of the game.

Just like the king named Curry in the first quarter, the Warriors actually started to call Li Pu in the fourth quarter.

Of course, the name of Li Pu was not because he thought he was easy to play. No one would think that a DPOY winner would have poor defense. The reason why Li Pu was named was mainly to transfer him away from the basket.

Li Pu at the basket is really terrifying. His ability to protect the basket can be called the first in the active league, and his drop rate can reach 18%. As long as he is at the basket, the Warriors' inside offense is almost crippled by half.

Fortunately, the Warriors were too threatening from outside with three-pointers. When encountering a pick-and-roll, Li Pu had to go out to defend.

However, relying on this alone can only solve the problem of the team's offense. In defense, they still cannot prevent the Kings.

To be precise, it was to prevent Li Pu.

After receiving the ball, Li Pu faced the pincer attack of Green and Iguodala, broke through decisively from one side, and then immediately chose a mid-range jumper.

Green and Iguodala have nothing to do about it, unless they can be stacked together, there is still a chance to interfere with Lip.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the point difference returned to 9 points again.

At this time, the end of the fourth quarter was less than half a quarter left.

The Warriors have been chasing for so long, but the point difference has always hovered around 10 points.

This kind of back-and-forth round is like slow death for a warrior.

It's not that the Warriors didn't think of a way, but all the ways, in front of Li Pu, seemed so unbearable.

At the critical moment, Iguodala scored another three-pointer and continued his life for the Warriors again.

However, for this three-pointer, the Warriors did not show how happy they were. Instead, they frowned, as if they were facing an enemy.

No way, then it's the Kings' offense again.

That Li Pu is coming again!

Butler dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, wanting to give the ball to Li Pu immediately.

At this time, Green stood in front of Li Pu, and prevented Li Pu from receiving the ball by going around the front to defend.

Green is so pathetic.

With a height of only 2 meters, he had to defend Li Pu, who was a head taller than him. How could he defend against him?
When Li Pu saw Green circling forward to defend, he didn't bully the opponent, playing some hanging inside, but went directly to the outside to catch the ball.

However, even if he received the ball from the outside, the Warriors double-teamed as promised as soon as Li Pu got the ball.

Therefore, Li Pu chose to pass the ball.

Butler broke into the penalty area after receiving the ball. At this time, the Warriors' penalty area was empty, and the inside defense was attracted to the outside by Li Pu.

Butler made an easy layup.

Obviously defending so hard, but was easily scored by the king. The frustration brought about by such a result has increased exponentially.

Coach Jackson saw the frustration of the players and immediately called a timeout.

"You played very well! There is no problem with our tactics. We don't let others score. Is it possible to let Prince score?"

Jackson's words let the Warriors players get out of the dead end.

"That's right! These points were originally released by us, but we were unlucky and were scored by the opponent."

After thinking about this, the players cheered up again.

After a timeout, David Lee faced Giannis' defense and hit the hook again!
Continue to help the Warriors narrow the score.

Seeing the already precarious Warriors, they revived with full blood after a timeout.

The players of the Kings thought it was a pity in their hearts. They thought the outcome of this game had already been decided!
This game is a tug-of-war. It not only tests the players' skills and physical fitness, but also tests the spirit of each player.

Not to mention other people at this time, even Li Pu, who has always been known as a livestock, felt very tired at this time.

Regardless of the fact that he had very few offenses tonight, several insiders and forwards of the Warriors were fighting with Li Pu in turn.

It can be said that the Warriors have invested almost all of their interior defensive strength on Li Pu. How could he not be tired?

However, he must grit his teeth and persevere at this moment, and he must not even show the slightest fatigue on his face or body language, otherwise the opponent may take the opportunity to help his teammates.

At this moment, after Bledsoe failed to break through, he handed the ball to Lip again.

As soon as Li Pu got the ball, Curry suddenly attacked from the side, taking advantage of Li Pu's inattention and stealing Li Pu.

The Warriors' fast break is no worse than that of the Kings. After quickly coming to the frontcourt, Curry passed Green for a layup in seconds.

The point difference was narrowed to 5 points again.

The Warriors are really annoying!
Time passed bit by bit, and the point difference had come to about 5 points at this time. The Warriors gradually got used to the Kings' offense, which made the offensive effect of their teammates gradually worse.

Li Pu wanted to stand up and score, but made a mistake.

However, of course, Li Pu will not be frightened by this small mistake. In the next round, Li Pu will still have the ball.

This time, Butler handed the ball to Li Pu, and then led the man to the weak side to open space for Li Pu.

Iguodala, who was defending him, only took two steps, but suddenly turned back, trying to flank Li Pu.

After Li Pu noticed it, he immediately chose to turn around and prepare to shoot. After tricking Green, Li Pu broke through with his shoulders down, and met Iguodala who was helping to defend him head-on.

I have to say that Iguodala's choice of timing is really excellent. At the cost of letting go of Butler, it will form a partial overplay.

However, there was one thing he miscalculated. Li Pu had already guessed all of this. When he was about to bump into Iguodala, he turned around and pulled Iguodala cleanly.

In this way, Li Pu successfully passed two Warriors players with only one turn.

Then he collected the ball and raised the ball high, striding forward, and dunked in three steps!
Although David Lee wanted to help defend, he could not escape the fate of being dunked!
"Bang!"

The shaking basket made a tooth-piercing scream. When Li Pu fell from the basket, there was a dead silence at first, and then there was a huge cheer.

Although this goal can't decide the outcome of the game, it is enough to change the whole situation, so that the Kings, who have been being chased all the time, finally have a chance to breathe!

Sure enough, in the following game, the Kings were affected by this slam dunk and their morale was revived. After they defended an offense from the Warriors, Butler assisted Middleton to hit a three-pointer, completely sealing the victory.

The final score was 103:113, and the Kings won the crucial Tianwangshan battle at home.
