Dominate the basketball world, starting from the skyhook skill

Chapter 275 Critical Moments
Originally, before this series, the outside world was quite confident in the Clippers.

The reason is simple. The most critical thing in the playoffs is the star's ability to solve the problem during the stalemate stage. In this regard, the Clippers with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George definitely have the upper hand.

After all, Anthony Davis is an inside player, and it is a bit difficult to expect him to be strong at this time.

As for Kevin Li?A rookie who has never experienced the playoffs cannot be more top than a two-time FMVP, right?
But after the city derby started, everyone discovered something was wrong.

Li Kaiwen is not only top-notch in the regular season, but also shows no mercy in the playoffs!

If G1 wasn't his rampage in the fourth quarter, this series might be over.

Now there is less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game, and the two sides are tied.

Lakers possession of the ball.

After halftime, Li Kaiwen quickly handed the ball to Rivers to organize.

This made Westbrook, who was guarding Kevin Li, start talking trash:

"Lee, you haven't scored for a long time, right? Is it possible that Rivers is now the team's second best? You let a thin-skinned white boy usurp the throne?"

"Score, get the ball, beat us head-on, don't sit back and be a coward."

"If a point guard doesn't score, what kind of point guard is he?"

Now that Westbrook has been playing, he not only has the strength to break through, but also has the strength to talk trash, which makes Li Kevin angry and funny.

What is the power of a fox and a tiger?If you hadn't defended like Paul George's conjoined twins every day, I would have beaten you to pieces.

It seems that this round it was Rivers who used his personal ability to create scoring opportunities.

With the help of Vanderbilt's pick-and-roll, Rivers passed Mann in front of him with a slow but rhythmic pace and headed towards the Clippers penalty area.

At the moment when everyone was looking at Rivers, Kevin Li suddenly "turned around" on the spot, threw off Westbrook's defense and cut to the basket!

Westbrook didn't expect that Li Kaiwen would suddenly make an air cut without the ball. He thought that this kid would be like his predecessor Ajan, resting with his arms akimbo without holding the ball.

He was only half a beat slow in reacting on the defensive end, and Li Kaiwen had already opened up half a body distance.

When Rivers was about to fall into a tight siege, he saw Kevin Li cutting inside from the corner of his eye. He immediately raised his hand and threw the basketball to Kevin Li in an almost tossing gesture.

He wanted to give an empty catch, but he didn't consider Li Kaiwen's objective bounce, so the ball was a little high.

When Li Kaiwen caught the basketball in the right position, half of his body was about to fly out of the baseline!

In the air, he could only see a large backboard behind the basket, and there was no angle or space for his shot.

It’s hard to score a goal!
Rivers hasn't played with Li Kaiwen in a long time, and the lack of tacit understanding between the two can be clearly seen when passing the ball to him.

Westbrook also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Rivers is not good at passing the ball, otherwise he would have been stolen by Kevin Li again. That old boy Tyronn Lue was still staring at me from the sidelines!

Almost all Lakers fans felt that Kevin Li could not complete the finish, but Kevin Li made an amazing move in the air!He directly pulled the ball back from outside the baseline, switched to his left hand and circled back to the basket, and then passed the ball into the basket.

Li Kaiwen made an alley-oop and switched hands for a layup!

After having the aerial dancer, Li Kaiwen was like the "God of Basketball" Jordan, using his incredible ability to stay in the air to save the basketball that was on the verge of a mistake, and also completed the score!

Li Kaiwen's goal gave the team a 1-point lead in the last 35 minute and 2 seconds, giving the Lakers the advantage.

Westbrook gritted his teeth, and Li Kaiwen was able to complete such a difficult alley-oop in the air.

His physical fitness didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, and the whole double-team didn't make his mentality unbalanced!
Rivers ran over immediately and pulled up Kevin Li who fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha, Li, you didn't expect me to pass the ball to you, did you?"

The muscles under Li Kaiwen's eyelids twitched uncontrollably a few times. He resisted the desire to spray him and only patted him on the shoulder.

You still have the nerve to say it?But if someone else comes, even if Brother Nongmei comes to pick him up in person, he may not have the strength to complete this score!

However, the Lakers finally got a long-lost lead.

Now that there is little game time left, the Clippers urgently need Leonard to score a goal to stabilize the situation.

At the last moment, the person guarding Leonard became Li Kaiwen. He also used his tough body movements to constantly pester Leonard. The "death coil" given by the system was no less effective than the genuine version!

Seeing this situation, Director Lu on the sidelines screamed that it was not good.

Damn it, this kid was double-teamed for the whole game and didn't make many strong attacks, but he is actually the most energetic guy on the field right now!
Seeing that Leonard could not get rid of Kevin Li's defense through his personal ability, he passed the ball back to Westbrook and motioned for him to throw it to Paul George.

Then he rushed out and wanted to cooperate with Paul George to cover without the ball!

Leonard's stocky body was tightly blocked by Hachimura behind George. Upon seeing this, Paul George immediately started sprinting towards the far end of the three-point line.

But Kevin Li reacted quickly. He bypassed Leonard's screen almost instantly and completed a perfect defense switch with Rui Hachimura.

Seeing that Paul George had run out of position, Westbrook immediately pushed hard with both hands and passed the basketball.

But just when Paul George opened his hands to catch the ball, Li Kaiwen, who was chasing behind him, stretched out his long arms and firmly grabbed the ball in his hands just before Paul George was about to touch it!
Unexpectedly, the off-ball screen between the two stars of the Clippers was destroyed by this tireless young man!
Li Kaiwen's awareness of pursuit and speed of defensive changes shocked the reporters on the sidelines.
If we could now judge the best defensive team in the playoffs, then who else would be Kevin Li for the No. [-] position?
After completing the steal, Li Kaiwen immediately threw the ball in front of him and accelerated the sprint. The Lakers had to play the most familiar transition offense again.

But Leonard turned around and chased Li Kaiwen the moment he saw the ball lost. The two were only half a body apart, one behind the other.

Li Kaiwen only felt that there was someone behind him. He wanted to slow down slightly and lean on the player behind him to unbalance his center of gravity.

But as soon as he came into contact with the man behind him, his motionless look told Li Kaiwen that the man he was chasing was Brother Kazi, the Clippers' number one defensive back!
As I said before, in terms of pure strength, Brother Kazi has never been afraid of anyone.

In the end, Li Kaiwen could only force a layup without completely getting rid of Leonard.

However, under the interference of Leonard's equally long wingspan, Li Kaiwen's layup bounced out of the frame!

He missed this easy scoring opportunity!
