: Lost to the Bucks

The first quarter was simply a personal show for Yi Jianlian, with 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Every offense of the Bucks felt related to Yi Jianlian.

"Li, you didn't lie to me. This compatriot of yours is indeed very powerful." Gasol took a break and lowered his head to communicate with Li Tian.

"Yes, he has speed that is not weaker than that of a small forward, but his strength is smaller than that of a power forward, and it is indeed difficult to defend." Li Tian once again affirmed Gasol's words.

Mark also exploded during the break.

"Guy, what are you doing on the court? Why don't you follow my tactical arrangements? Tactics, tactics. Do you know what tactics are?" Mark roared at Guy.

At this time, Mark was going crazy and felt like he wanted to throw down the tactical board angrily.

He gave Guy a hard look, and he really hated the iron.

"Lee, you and Conley will play together in the next quarter. You must cooperate well, you know? Don't act recklessly, otherwise you will also be on the bench?" Mark continued to arrange tactics.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Tian and Conley cooperated to open the scoring. Li Tian received Conley's pass and hit a three-pointer from the outside, kicking off the Grizzlies bench's pursuit of points.

Conley was not weak at all when facing Xiao Mo's attack. He faced Xiao Mo head-on. Xiao Mo's nickname of "Everyone Don't Pass" is not for nothing.

Seeing a rookie confronting him head-on like this, Xiao Mo also took advantage of it. His teammates were all forgotten by him and he only thought about how to break through Conley.

Xiao Mo kept dribbling the ball with his hips, completely ignoring Li Tian who came to double-team him from the side.

Li Tian suddenly came up to double-team, disrupting Xiao Mo's dribbling rhythm.

"Crack!"

Li Tian quickly took action and stole the ball from Xiao Mo's hand.

Li Tian, ​​who successfully stole the ball, dunked and scored.

Two more points were scored. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies launched an attack wave and beat the Bucks 5-0. The point difference was close to 5 points.

Kryskowiak couldn't sit still and directly requested a substitution, replacing Xiao Mo with Villanueva.

After Villanueva came on the court, the Bucks' offense became smoother.

Li Tian and Conley played perfect coordination and hit consecutive three-pointers.

The Bucks were also not to be outdone and continued to attack.

The two teams were locked in a tight score, and the Grizzlies tried hard to close the gap, but they were always short of breath and failed to close the gap to within one possession.

After constant confrontation, the Bucks strengthened their defense against Li Tian, ​​and the Grizzlies did not have new players to step up and launch a wave of attacks.

In this way, after Li Tian left the field, the two teams continued to fight alternately.

When it comes to the decisive moment, the fourth quarter is about to begin.

Li Tian, ​​Conley, and Gasol all played.

"Paul, we must improve our shooting percentage and defend against them, you know? We must play defensive counterattack. Only in this way can we win this game." Mark almost became an old woman and kept urging the players.

"Let's, grizzly bear."

In order to always maintain the lead, Yi Jianlian can only be allowed to play the entire third quarter. From the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yi Jianlian must be allowed to get enough rest off the court.

The Bucks fielded other key players.

The decisive battle begins!

Gasol set a screen for Conley, and Conley passed the ball to Li Tian in the corner.

The three-pointer was hit steadily, and the point difference came to 2 points.

Conley shouted, "Defend, defend, defend. As long as we defend this ball, we can overtake the score. Come on, come on."

Conley kept clapping to encourage his teammates.

Li Tian didn't have time to celebrate with his teammates and quickly returned to the defensive position.

The Grizzlies set up a second and third zone defense, with Li Tian and Conley standing in the high position.

Xiao Mo, who had calmed down, was put on the court again, holding the ball and dribbling at the top of the key.

Xiao Mo chose to play Li Tian in misplaced singles.

Continuously changing directions and catching the ball, the ball seems to be stuck to Xiao Mo's hands. The basketball follower Xiao Mo's hands are constantly changing directions.

Li Tian also concentrated his attention and stared at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo suddenly accelerated and tried to break through Li Tian.

The moment Xiao Mo dribbled the ball past Li Tian, ​​the basketball was still in mid-air.

A crisp sound!

"Crack!"

Li Tian intercepted Xiao Mo's breakthrough.

The steal is clean, neat and impeccable.

The scene was constantly replaying Li Tian's steal just now, and the referee could not find any trace of the foul because there was no physical contact between the two.

Too fast.

There was a commotion in the arena.

"It's so beautiful, Lee's steal, how did he do it, my God." Barkley shouted without paying attention to his own image.

"Barkley, pay attention, pay attention to your big butt, it hit me." Kenny rolled his eyes at Buckley.

After the steal, Li Tian shouted "Quick break!" without hesitation.

Passing the ball directly to Stoudemire, Stoudemire received the pass from Li Tian and accelerated the fast break.

Mo was chasing after Stoudemire, and when he was about to catch up, Mo was about to pull Stoudemire down and commit a foul.

Li Tian has already arrived outside the three-point line.

Stoudemire directly passed the ball back to Li Tian.

Li Tian quickly shot a three-pointer and hit the basketball steadily without anyone defending him.

The Grizzlies went ahead by 1 point, and the score reached 95-94.

"Li, you're great, we overtook the score." Stoudemire and Li Tian high-fived in celebration.

"I still want to thank you for your assist, it was so timely." He bumped his chest with his teammates in celebration.

The Bucks players were a little frustrated, especially Xiao Mo, who was already listless at this time. He was a little unbelievable that he was intercepted despite being so fast.

Kryskowiak looked at the time and saw that the fourth quarter had just started 4 minutes ago. He looked at Yi Jianlian again, and Yi Jianlian gave Kryskowiak a look of affirmation.

Kryskowiak called a timeout again.

"Yi, you come on and replace Williams."

"Everyone, please note that Yi will definitely be scheduled to play in advance. Paul, you must guard against him. Gay, you replace Li, he should take a rest." Mark arranged the rotation of personnel.

Just when Li Tian was about to stand up to object, Gasol stopped him, shook his head, and signaled him not to contradict the coach at this time.

Li Tian had no choice but to sit on the bench.

The timeout ended and Yi Jianlian appeared again.

"Oh my God, what is Mark doing? Is he going to surrender? He actually arranged for Lee to rest. Is he a spy for the Bucks?" Barkley teased Mark.

"Okay, what a pity, I have to congratulate the Bucks in advance." Kenny said, holding his head.

"Guys, our opportunity has come. That Li was replaced. Yi feels sorry for your compatriots." Reid and Yi Jianlian said.

"Yes, come on, let's win together." Yi Jianlian shouted loudly.

"Come on, come on."

Li Tian, ​​who was sitting off the field, didn't say a word and just stared at the field.

Lori saw Li Tian's expression becoming serious and did not bother Li Tian anymore.

Li Tian, ​​who scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, could only sit off the court and wait.

Mark has his own ideas in doing this. On the one hand, he wants Li Tian to know that he is the real head coach and he can control Li Tian's playing time. On the other hand, the management hopes to give Guy more opportunities. The two are mixed together.

Make him have to do it.

Back on the court, Yi Jianlian and Gasol both completed attacks consecutively, and the scores of the two teams increased alternately.

Listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, you can feel how tense this game is.

The fans kept chanting "Defense, defense, defense."

The defense of both teams has improved to the highest intensity, but without the blessing of Li Tian's defense, the Grizzlies' defensive quality is still weaker than the Bucks.

However, at the last moment, both teams were very nervous, and with the strengthening of defense, they continued to fight.

The game came to the last minute, and the Grizzlies still led the Bucks by 1 point on the road 98-97.
