In the second quarter, Li Ke was a little bit iron, and scored 8 points with a shooting percentage of 3 of 7 shots.
He made 7 of 15 shots in the first half and scored 19 points. This is obviously a good shooting percentage and half-time score for Li Ke, who is determined to be the Iron King for two months.
"At 19 points in the first half, Li Ke played against Anthony and Iverson. This game was wonderful!"
During the intermission, although the Bobcats were behind, Director Zhang was happy. He quickly thought of the last game: "In the last game, Li Ke also scored 30 points. Including this game, he has scored two good goals in a row..."
"I just didn't win the last game, it's a pity."
“…”
The commentator discussed that in the locker room, the Bobcats had to face a half-time situation.
There is not much behind, but the problem is that there is not much behind.
If they fall behind a lot, they will accept their fate and fight step by step.
But if you don’t fall much behind, the chance to win will come, and the long-lost tension will immediately fill everyone’s brain.
"At the end of the half, we were only 4 points behind, we still had a whole second half, but we couldn't let the situation develop like this. In the second quarter, we had a successful defense against Cameron Anthony and Allen Iverson, but we gave Kenyon Martin and JR Smith too many opportunities..."
Sam Vincent was nagging, Li Ke was wandering around the world, and his personal performance in the first half was pretty good, but obviously, if you want to defeat a strong team like the Nuggets, your good performance is not enough.
teammate?
To be honest, there is nothing to count on. Even Boss Hua is the kind of person who can only add icing on the cake.
You have to rely on yourself, then there is only one way. In the second half, try to participate in every wave of Bobcats' offense.
By fighting like this, Li Ke was able to find opportunities in every wave of offense. The problem brought about is that his physical fitness was tested.
During the fifteen-minute intermission, the Pepsi Center was crowded with fans when the game started again.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers, the second half of the game began.
"The advertising time is over, the game is finally back. Look at the second half of the game. The ball rights at the opening belong to the Bobcats and Felton's possession..."
Fei Dun controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Li Keduo went out to catch the ball, and Lao Ai followed him in an endless step, but he simply ran and couldn't run any chance.
So, after a round of pick-and-roll, Anthony Carter immediately changed defense with Lao Ai, but Fei Dun accelerated, shook his little fat body, separated Lao Ai with his elbow, and rushed to the basket to make a layup, but was disturbed by Camby.
With a bang, the basketball hit the frame and popped up.
Li Ke frowned: "Raymond, give me the next ball!"
Then, on the defensive end, Melon made a single shot, and then passed it. Kenyon and Martin, who was in the inside, received the ball and failed to take off. After that, he made a very reluctant layup and failed to make a layup.
The Bobcats' offense, just as Li Ke asked before, had just come out of the bottom line, and Li Ke received a pass from Fei Dun. Fortunately, Walter Herman gave a cover
Li Ke used his bad ball control and after this cover, he pulled up and scored a three-pointer!
"Li Ke's three-pointer has it!"
Director Zhang shouted, but the basketball slammed out of the frame.
In the Nuggets' offense, Lao Ai hit another one. Facing Li Ke's defense, he broke through and passed it out halfway through.
Anthony Carter, who has only made one move in this game, received the ball and scored a three-pointer that was a chance.
With a clang, it didn't enter either.
At the beginning of the second half, both sides thrust irons at each other, and there were endless clanging sounds. Fortunately, the fans of Pepsi Center created a lot of noise, so the series of irons were not so harsh.
Until the second minute and thirty-three seconds of the third quarter, Melon shot a mid-range shot, ending the iron-raid battle between the two sides.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ke also made a three-pointer, successfully approaching the score for the Bobcats.
After that, the two teams made another round of iron...
In the second half, both the Bobcats and the Nuggets felt completely cold, and the basket was like a cover, and no matter how they shot, they couldn't make it.
This is good news for the Bobcats.
"The team can't score. If you continue to fight like this, the Bobcats will have a chance!"
Yu Jia saw this with a keen eye. The Nuggets' best offense is useless. Bitting the score is a good thing for the Bobcats.
Li Ke on the court also gradually discovered this. He couldn't score the goal and the score could not be widened.
He immediately gave up his original idea of ​​a decisive battle in the third quarter and started to fight for two or three rounds, and then maintain his health for two or three rounds.
Generally speaking, this is the correct way for NBA players to play. No player can persist in high-intensity offense and defense for more than 30 minutes or even forty minutes, except for a few perverts such as a certain subject.
Of course, Li Ke is not within this range. Since he can no longer win the finals in the third quarter, he must save his energy and leave it to the fourth quarter.
Clang, clang, clang...
In the crazy iron battle, the third quarter came to an end.
In this quarter, Li Ke scored 2,33.3% of the shooting percentage, which was quite bleak.
But the Nuggets are not much better. In the third quarter, the score between the Bobcats and the Nuggets was 19 to 17. In this iron battle, the Bobcats scored 2 points.
75 to 77, as the game entered the fourth quarter, the Bobcats who played away were two points behind...
Then the fourth quarter started, Sam Vincent and George Carl replaced the main player while tacitly approaching, allowing the substitutes to fight for a few minutes.
Of course, the Bobcats are not just substitutes. They can't beat the Nuggets with a strong bench lineup. Sam Vincent put Boss Hua on the court and maintained the overall strength of the lineup.
With only 7 minutes and 43 seconds left in the game, Sam Vincent was the first to call out the timeout.
There was no way. Even if he added a boss Hua, the Bobcat was still very difficult to beat. On the bench, Li Ke and Feidun had enough rest time, so he waved his hand and changed it back to the main force.
"It's timed up, the Bobcats made a substitution first, and then look at the Nuggets. George Carl's reaction is not slow either. Cameron Anthony is about to appear, and Iverson should have a rest!"
Both sides substitutions at the same time. After a wave of substitutions, the lineup on the field directly became point guard Feidun, shooting guard Li Ke, small forward Gerald Wallace, power forward Lao Du and center Okafor.
On the Nuggets, they are not in a hurry to switch back to Iverson with a strong bench lineup. The five on the field are Anthony Carter, JR, Melon, Kenyon Martin and Camby.
"After this timeout, the decisive stage of this game will begin early..."
It was a bit too early to have a final battle of more than 7 minutes, but the score of 81 to 86 is indeed at risk of breaking the score difference. Of course, for the Bobcats, it is likely to be pulled apart because they are 5 points behind.
...
The timeout ended and the game started again.
"In the Bobcats' round, Felton controlled the ball... Li Ke ran out of the inside again, with almost no change in playing style, and you can hit it as soon as you catch the ball!"
With a clang...
"Oh, I still haven't entered. Li Ke has to find the feel!"
Director Zhang sighed heavily, "The ironwork at this time is so fatal!"
"Let's see the defense..."
Yu Jia interrupted, and on the field, the Nuggets grabbed the rebound and soon rushed towards the Bobcats' backcourt like a tide.
Li Ke took the initiative to apply for a change of defense: "Gerard, I'll go and defend Merlot!"
In this way, after the third quarter, Melon felt the muscles full of strength in Li Ke again.
At the critical moment, the melon lost all the nonsense, took the ball frame and asked for a pick-and-roll.
There is no problem with pick-and-roll, but Li Ke feels that his sarcasm cannot be late: "Hey, the actress queen, what about one-on-one?"
Melon didn't say a word, and waited until Kenyon Martin took his seat and rushed out in one step.
Of course, Lao Du couldn't defend against melons. Not only did this guy have a very high emotional intelligence, he also knew it on the court.
Faced with the impact of the melon, he did not change defense, but took a step back and delayed.
Waiting for Li Ke to bypass the cover, he followed Kenyon Martin.
"The Bobcats are so beautiful to defend against pick-and-roll. Anthony couldn't bypass Li Ke's defense, but he had already rushed!"
Melon never thought of breaking through Li Ke’s defense with a pick-and-roll. From the beginning, all he wanted was a space to rush up.
After rushing two steps, the melon suddenly stopped and wanted to shake it away, Li Ke who had already been rushing to catch up.
However, Li Ke stopped, and this was the reaction of the top single defender. He realized that the melon ball would not continue to hit in.
Because on the other side, Boss Hua, who was not under such great defensive pressure, was ready to assist in defense.
"Emergency stop jump shot, Li Ke's defense has followed!"
With a clang!
The sound of the iron-smashing made Director Zhang feel relieved: "Fortunately, I defended it on the other hand, so I was still 5 points behind. The Bobcats still have a chance!"
If you think about it carefully, if the melon is in this ball, it will be 7 points behind. From 5 points to 7 points, the feeling will be completely different.
If you die in 5 points, it is just a gap between two balls. You will get back with two waves of offense and defense. If you score 7 points, if you don’t chase it smoothly, you may not be able to open it to double digits in one wave...
Boss Hua grabbed the rebound and did not rush to fight back.
This is a very correct approach. When playing some teams, counterattacks are a powerful tool, but if the pace goes too fast in a team like the Nuggets, the one who gets hurt may be the Bobcats.
There is no counterattack, there is only a slow half-court offense and defense.
Although he smashed the iron after the timeout, Li Ke still chose to believe in himself and threw out the bottom corner as if it was the same. This time it was Boss Hua who passed the ball.
Following Li Ke closely is JR Smith. Compared to Lao Ai, JR's defensive enthusiasm is much worse. Perhaps, when facing Li Ke, he does not have such a strong fighting spirit.
So, when he slowed down and rushed outside the three-point line, Li Ke had already jumped up.
Swish—!
The crisp sound of rubbing the net suddenly rang out.
"I'm in!"
"Finally in!"
In the broadcast room of Yangwu, Yu Jia flew excitedly, and Director Zhang's voice felt relieved.
The score was only 84 to 86, and the Bobcats were still 2 points behind.
But for the Bobcats, from 5 to 2 points, the critical situation they faced immediately changed...
George Carl's reaction was surprisingly fast. The moment Li Ke hit a three-pointer, he made a pause gesture.
"Allen, it's your turn to go, it's still the same. You should guard against the No. 8 rookie and don't let him play with his touch!"
"Ok, George!"
After the suspension, Iverson reappeared.
But in the Nuggets' offense, the one who received the basketball was still melon. Li Ke's defense was not replaced, so he continued to keep a guard against melon.
Facing Li Ke's defense, Mugu asked for another pick-and-roll, and after taking it apart, he directly found the right time to pass the ball to Kenyon Martin who was at the bottom.
The No. 2000 No. 1 pick faced Lao Du, took the ball and rushed two steps, and put the ball into the basket.
"The Nuggets are very tenacious. Kenyon and Martin scored 2 points, 88 to 84, and the gap between the scores widened to 4 points."
In the Bobcats' attack, Lao Ai, who had just appeared, faced Li Ke.
Li Ke, however, rushed out of the bottom corner as if it were exactly the same, rushed to the top of the arc, and received the ball without any change... Drawing... Take action!
Throughout the whole process, Lao Ai's defense kept up.
After leaping up, Li Ke only had the basket in his eyes!
Swish—!
The noisy Pepsi Center immediately became quiet for a moment.
"Wow, I'm in again!"
In the broadcast room of Yangwu, Director Zhang was excited, "Li Ke found the touch and made two consecutive three-pointers. Hehe, the Nuggets are going to have a headache now. They have to think about whether Iverson's defense is enough."
Off the field, George Carl frowned.
Iverson's defense was not a problem. From beginning to end, he kept following closely, but the problem was that Li Ke himself was one head taller than Iverson, and his bounce was a little better than Lao Ai now. Although his wingspan was shorter, the impact of the wingspan of three points was negligible. The most important thing was the height of his sight.
But when Li Ke's vision was far higher than Lao Ai, Lao Ai's defense was almost useless.
On the field, Lao Ai wants to return one of the Nuggets' attacks.
But his breakthrough was cut off by Li Ke who had been replaced in the middle. He was forced to pass the ball. The jr who received the ball seemed to have sucked the wind and shot a three-pointer against Fei Dun's defense.
But with a different life, the ironclad sound was hit.
"Okafor, the rebound is his, pass the ball!"
Director Zhang urged excitedly, and when the basketball appeared in Fei Dun's hands, he continued to shout: "Counterattack and fight back, give the ball to Li Ke!"
Fei Dun seemed to hear Director Zhang's shouting. Of course, more importantly, Li Ke rushed to the left and kept reaching out for the ball.
"Passed the ball...Li Ke...who, he rushed to a chasing three-pointer!"
Swish—!
"The ball is in!"
"The score has surpassed!"
The broadcast room of Yangwu seemed to be contracted by Director Zhang. Yu Jia couldn't get the word at all, and only heard Director Zhang shouting excitedly.
On the court, when the score surpassed, Li Ke raised his hands high and welcomed the booings in the venue in Pepsi Center.
"Three consecutive three-pointers, Sheldon took over the game!"
"It reminds me of that Halloween battle, where Sheldon made seven consecutive mid-range shots in the fourth quarter, reaping the game's victory."
"He changed his way in this game, with three consecutive points, as if he wanted to win the victory of this game!"
Chapter completed!
