The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 276
With Butler and Li Pu's alley-oop dunk, the score was 65:64 at the end of the half, and the Kings regained the lead.

Li Pu scored 17 points in the second quarter, the most dangerous moment for the Kings, helping the Kings stabilize the situation.

On the whole, the offense of the two teams in the first half was very good, and they turned a life-and-death battle into a confrontation.

After a hearty first half, the audience should go to the toilet to go to the toilet, and those who should buy beer buy beer.

Because there was no urine point in the first half, the audience held back for the whole half, for fear of missing the exciting game.

The intermission was only a short 15 minutes, and it was fleeting. Before some fans returned to their seats, the second half of the game had already begun.

At the beginning of the second half, Curry first hit the iron with anger.

Then Butler also politely returned a iron.

Then Curry hit another iron.

Li Pu returned the iron again.

In this way, the iron came and went, and the two sides were stunned for more than three minutes after the start of the second half, without scoring a point.

Such a shooting rate makes people mistakenly think that it is not the same game as the first half.

From Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench, how does this go from one extreme to the other?
In the end, it was Li Pu who was fouled by Green for a layup in the penalty area, which broke the deadlock.

At this time, 3 minutes and 27 seconds have passed since the start of the second half.

With Li Pu making two free throws, the game gradually returned to normal.

Green received an assist from Thompson on the outside and made a long two-pointer!
The point difference was narrowed to 1 point again.

Green's performance tonight was impeccable, playing more like a star than David Lee.

Then, the two sides competed for several rounds, the score was very tight, and the point difference was always hovering between 1 point and 3 points.

It's not that the Kings didn't give the Warriors a chance, but the Warriors just couldn't grasp it, and they were unable to overtake the score again for a long time.

As the saying goes, if you don't take what you want, you will suffer instead.

The Warriors have been unable to seize the opportunity for a long time, and will naturally suffer backlash.

Butler forced a layup against Iguodala. Iguodala, who has outstanding defensive ability, was beaten into a "2+1" by Butters!
Butler, who fell to the ground, lay on the ground and shouted frantically, his voice even surpassing the voice of the audience on the sidelines for a moment.

Excited, Li Pu went straight forward and pulled Butler up from the ground, and the two roared with their chests open.

No matter how you look at this scene, I am a little angry.

Butler is very excited at this time!

No one is optimistic about Butler. Since childhood, Butler has always grown up amidst doubts from others!

Until he came to Leiting and met Li Pu.

Different from others, Li Pu has confidence in him for some reason, and often asks for himself according to Jordan's requirements.

Conscience, even if he looks alike, he is really not Jordan's illegitimate son!
Although he doesn't know who his father is?Although Jordan did go to his birthplace Houston to play in late '88, but...

Uh, why is it getting more and more unclear?
In short, Butler likes Li Puguo's saying very much, that is, a scholar dies for his confidant.

Li Pu is so optimistic about himself, how could he disappoint him?
Now it's time to help him out!

"Beautiful job!" Li Pu said excitedly, rubbing Butler's head sprayed with hairspray.

In this regard, Butler is very ashamed.

In this round of the series, Li Pu really wanted to win. He had already done enough, but that was all he asked of himself?

There are still many things I can do, and I also want to do more!

Not enough, what I do now is far from enough!
With the extra penalty hit, it seemed to turn on Butler's switch!
Then on the defensive end, in one-on-one, he actually stole the ball from Iguodala's hands, and then dunked in the fast break!

Driven by Butler, the momentum of the Kings gradually increased until it gradually gained momentum, putting tremendous pressure on the Warriors on both ends of the offense and defense.

Bledsoe's breakthrough, Middleton's three-pointer, Giannis' block, as if suddenly, everyone opened up Ren Du's second channel and entered the Zone mode!

Seeing his teammates playing so well, of course Li Pu would not interfere. He worked hard in other aspects to help his teammates maintain this state for a longer period of time.

In this way, in half a quarter, the Kings actually beat the Warriors with a 15:2 slump, directly beating the Warriors.

Even if Coach Jackson called two timeouts midway, they couldn't stop the momentum of the Kings.

Seeing that the point difference has widened to 15 points, the situation is about to collapse.

In this case, Curry, who had been inaccurate before, finally resolved the Warriors' urgent need with a three-pointer.

After that, the Warriors scored a few more goals one after another, and before the end of the third quarter, they chased the score to 84:93, and the point difference returned to single digits.

Originally thought that the victory was in hand, but the Warriors actually brought back the suspense of the game.

It is impossible for the fans to say that they are not frustrated!
But fortunately, the team still maintains the lead at this time, and it is only the last quarter away from winning the playoffs!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Speights and Jordan Crawford scored 5 points in a row, and even narrowed the difference to only 4 points.

The situation suddenly became anxious again.

In this case, Li Pu stood up again.

Tonight, Li Pu hardly had any rest time in the second half. Not only did he play the entire third quarter, but he also stayed on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Obviously, he was ready to play the entire second half.

This game was another 45-minute game.

Coach Brown really used him as an animal!

Li Pu first used a mid-range shot to widen the point difference to 6 points.

Then on the defensive end, he blocked Thompson's air cut.

This is Li Pu's sixth block shot tonight!
After completing this block, it can be said that the situation of the game has returned to the hands of the king.

In the following games, although the Warriors were still scoring, the point difference was always around 5 points. The Warriors just couldn't narrow the point difference.

This situation continued until the end of the fourth quarter. Curry's "3+1" with a magical touch successfully narrowed the score again.

The Kings are sick of the Warriors being so damn resilient.

No matter how hard you fight, you can't die!

At this most critical moment, it was Li Pu again. He dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Faced with the pincer attack of the two, he broke through forcefully and finally caused Green's sixth foul.

With Li Pu on his way to the free-throw line, he made two free throws.

The Warriors finally lost their momentum, and the Kings secured the victory.

At 121:126, the Kings narrowly beat the Warriors by 5 points, successfully eliminated the Warriors, and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

In this game, Li Pu scored 42 points, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks. He is also a well-deserved No.1 in this round of the series.

In addition to him, Butler also scored 22 points and became Li Pu's most powerful teammate.

Of course, the others performed well too. Bledsoe had 15 points and 8 assists, Middleton had 13 points, Giannis had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, Thomas Jr. had 10 points, Thornton had 8 points...

It can be said that the Kings won tonight not only relying on Li Pu alone, but relying on the joint efforts of the whole team.

What Lipsey said before was finally not in vain!
