Chapter 207 Kevin Lee's scoring performance, Halliburton's assist performance
Stepping on a handful is a traditional art skill of on-site commentary.

"The Pacers were outscored by [-] points in the first quarter. They covered up the team's name and thought they were playing a poor team."

"Li Kevin is not like a point guard compared to Halliburton. You can see that he patronizes his own shots in the first quarter. When the basketball reaches him, it is like falling into a black hole. I have never seen him pass."

The two commentators didn't care about the poor state of the Lakers except for Kevin Li. They made 15 of 4 shots in total. If they were replaced by the old Ingram of the Development League, they might be in better condition than them.

The famous Pacers, Reggie Miller, who came to play a guest commentary, also nodded and added,
"Although Li Kaiwen is very accurate, you must know that two-pointers cannot beat three-pointers. Just like when I killed Jordan in the past, no matter how accurate his mid-range shots are, he can only bow down to my drifting three-pointer. .”

The two commentators nodded, not mentioning how Jordan knocked him out in the last three games of the series.

And Lao Li is still reviewing some mistakes made by the team in the first quarter in his mind, without being disturbed by the commentary at all.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams were all sent off the bench.

There is a great god on the Pacers' bench.

Entered the league with the sixth overall pick last year, Benedict Maturin, who is 1 meters tall and weighs 96KG!
As a high-ranked swingman, he averaged 16.7 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in his rookie season, and almost won the best sixth man and best rookie at the same time.

In the end, even though he didn't get one prize, anyone who wasn't a blind monk could tell that this kid was bound to become a master.

The continuous evolution this season has made his status in the team even surpassed Hilder and Turner, becoming the Pacers' second-in-command.

In the first round, he used the pick-and-roll of Obi Toppin, who had just transferred this season, to break through to the basket twice in a row, and scored a high throw layup!

Like the Pacers starters, the bench is still strong.

Fortunately, on the Lakers side, Austin Rivers stepped forward in time. He and Zhou Qi's duo became more and more mature.

After returning from the double-starter, Halliburton used the breakthrough to create an opportunity for Hilde in the first round, assisting the latter to hit a three-pointer.

It is different from Li Kaiwen's open and close, vigorous play style,

Haliburton is like an elf in the bushes, light and nimble, and always finds the Lakers' defensive loopholes easily.

"It's still Halliburton! When the substitutes were gradually unable to respond to the Lakers' firepower, he stood up in time and led his teammates to find the direction of attack!"

Limited by the lack of explosive power, Halliburton must call a pick-and-roll every time he attacks, and Shelby, who comes every time he changes defenses, has excellent physical fitness, but has the common problem of poor defensive awareness among rookies.

Walker, or Halliburton himself, grab him and beat him to death!
Looking back, Kevin Li can still clearly see the lax attitude of the Lakers starters.

The tactical movement is slow, the pick-and-roll is not tight, the low post is not active in the ball, and the position is not strong.

So he decided to come by himself.

After clearing the weak side, Li Kaiwen headed Halliburton to the inside, and before Turner was ready to defend, he jumped up and shot.

And Halliburton's hand was still on his upper arm, which made Li Kaiwen's movements in the air directly deformed, and he had no choice but to throw the basketball with one hand.

The extremely high stability in the air brought by the "air dancer" made Li Kaiwen's shot very soft this time, and the basketball fell into the basket obediently!

"Drip~!" The referee's whistle sounded simultaneously, and Lao Li scored 2+1!

"Kevin Lee made a beautiful offensive shot! But he still regards himself as a shooting guard. If he plays like this, he may not be able to take away the victory from our Pacers' home court!"

Of course the commentators know that in today's league, there are only two players who can score 20 points + 10 assists.One is his own Halliburton, and the other is the Lakers' Kevin Lee.

Today, it is obvious that Li Kaiwen is unable to drive his teammates, and only fights against the entire Pacers team with his own strength.

If they can win this, they will eat Reggie Miller's bald head!
You must know that in the small ball era, the defensive strength is much weaker than that of the previous century.

In the 90s, all NBA teams averaged around 90 points per game.

After 2020, the average points per game will increase year by year, and each team will score 24 points in 116 seasons and even in each game.

In addition to the decrease in defensive intensity, each team pays more attention to three-pointers is also one of the important reasons.

Once one of the two teams is fully fired, it may only take a few minutes to decide the outcome of the entire game.

Today, however, the Pacers are clearly the dominant team in three-point shooting. The Lakers' poor outside shooting made Lao Li dare not gamble.

At the end of halftime, the two sides battled to 55 to 62, and the Lakers were still 7 points behind.

Li Kaiwen's scoring performance in the second quarter was still outstanding, scoring 25 points and 3 assists in the half. If he continues to play like this, he may be able to refresh his record for the highest score in a single game at the end of the season.

But he was not happy, because one of the urgent tasks given by the system was to surpass Halliburton in assists.

He just took the time to glance at the technical statistics table. The kid on the opposite side is silent, and has already scored 14 points and 7 assists!

During the intermission, the Pacers officially arranged a hot cheerleader dance performance as usual.

But in the locker rooms of both sides, the atmosphere is different.

Reggie Miller followed Halliburton into the locker room and addressed the group of young lads.

"Hey guys, play well! Keep your energy on the defensive end. On the offensive end, you must shoot decisively when you have the opportunity.

I believe that under the leadership of Tyrese (Halliburton), you will definitely win. "

"You must know that even in the era when the Magicians ruled the NBA, the Pacers I led have never lost to the Lakers, so I believe you will be able to defeat them and defend your home honor!"

Everyone laughed.

He was indeed right. The Pacers he led hadn't even rushed out of the East, and they took the lead to lose to the Magician's Lakers!
In the Lakers locker room, when Kevin Li walked back to the locker room for the last time, everyone was still laughing and laughing, discussing something unrelated to the game.

Shelby has a new date with a girlfriend and will go to an extra game after the game. Rui Hachimura has reserved a very authentic Japanese restaurant and is about to invite his teammates to have a meal together.

Nongmei was already checking the e-sports team's recent training plan on his mobile phone.

And Dun Luo went too far, he even put on earphones and blindfolded, intending to take advantage of the ten-minute rest time to catch up on sleep.

With a "touch", Li Kaiwen threw the water glass in his hand to the ground heavily,

The splashed water flew to everyone, and all their shocked eyes were transferred to the Chinese rookie.

But Li Kaiwen looked at them with an angry face, scanning them over and over again.
