Chapter 284 Defending the Home Honor
Li Kaiwen's strong performance after the start restored the confidence of the fans watching the game.

It's not that they can't accept losing in the Western Conference Finals, not to mention that they are facing last year's championship Nuggets. It won't be a shame to be eliminated by them!
But being swept 0-4 would be a bit embarrassing!
Facts have once again proved that if Li Kaiwen and Nongmei can perform normally, they are not afraid of any opponent in the league.

Hamm is like the brains of the Lakers. He determines the direction and strategy of the Lakers.

The thick eyebrows are like the body of the Lakers. He is the basic foundation of the team's offense and defense. With him, the Lakers are still a complete person.

And Kevin Li is like a key part of the Lakers.
Whether the Lakers can be tough or not depends entirely on his performance!

Now that the players are all in place, the Lakers hit a 6-0 shock wave from the start, which made Pelinka very pleased off the court.

As expected, I was right. Of these two rookies this year, one is fighting for Kerry on the court, and the other is waving a towel off the court. They all have bright futures.

At this moment, Lakers fans are shouting Li Kaiwen's name loudly. This first-year rookie may really be able to lead the team to break the fate of being swept out today!
Reggie Miller was still pretending to be neutral, and poured cold water on his commentary partner Gasol:
"Paul, calm down."

"It's just six points. Don't talk about today's small ball era. When I was with the Pacers, it was only six seconds."

He had such a proud look on his face that he was afraid that others would forget his classic story of "Miller Moment" of 8 seconds and 8 minutes.

There is nothing wrong with this ball calculation. 8 seconds and 8 points. 6 seconds is 6 points. It only takes 6 seconds for the Nuggets to catch up with the Lakers!

But this time, Pau Gasol responded to the senior very forcefully:

"Oh Reggie, make no mistake, this is Los Angeles."

“Here, Li Kaiwen is the one in charge!”

The game continued, and this time the Nuggets finally used Aaron Gordon and Pope's off-ball screen changes, allowing them to find an opportunity to force Duncan Robinson.

The moment Jokic saw Gordon blocking Dunro, he threw the ball in. Gordon was unequivocal. After turning around, he pushed Dunro away and succeeded in a layup.

Aaron Gordon is the serious No. [-] player in the Nuggets. When he was still the core of the Magic, he quickly found his position after coming to the Nuggets.
That is to rely on your own strong body on the offensive end, and play high and low with Jokic to attack the opponent's defensive weakness!

It seems that Aaron Gordon has completed his transformation, but in fact it is Jokic's adaptability that is amazing.

If he didn't give way to the low post, Gordon's specialty air cuts wouldn't be possible at all.

But he can still have a strong offensive influence after giving up the low post as a center. This relies on his passing ability and shooting skills, which are the best in history among centers!
After the ball was scored, the Nuggets temporarily stabilized their position, and Nuggets head coach Malone also saw the way.

After starting Zhou Qi today, the Lakers must insist on man-to-man defense and resolutely not double-team Jokic.

There may not be many chances like Aaron Gordon just now.

The Nuggets experienced an initial panic, but then gradually calmed down. Looking back on the defensive end, they once again showed their strength as the defending champion.

Li Kaiwen dribbled the ball close to the three-point line and found Dun Luo who was running out, and quickly passed the ball over.

Unexpectedly, the old Lakers player Pope didn't give any face, accelerated and rushed out and intercepted Li Kaiwen's pass!

He has a low center of gravity and a quick start. The key is that as a veteran player of the Lakers, he has a deep understanding of the Lakers' techniques and tactics. In this series, he almost played his best stealing level.

Everyone thought that Kevin Li was going to lose the ball, and Reggie Miller also shouted excitedly:

"Hahaha, is this the so-called home field advantage? He just hit a few good shots, and Li Kaiwen's vigilance has dropped!"

"The Nuggets are not vegetarians either. Come on, young man!"

When Li Kaiwen saw Pope grabbing the basketball, he immediately rushed over and found the opportunity to hold the ball with both hands to prevent him from passing the ball to start a fast break.

Before Pope had time to look for his teammates, he felt his arms tighten, and a pair of iron-like hands were already pressing on the basketball he had finally snatched.
The next second, the basketball that had not yet warmed was snatched away by Li Kaiwen again!

Others are stealing, but Li Kaiwen is completely robbing!

Lao Li's huge strength and terrifying hands comparable to Jordan finally came into play at this moment.

After completing the "robbery", Li Kaiwen failed to control his center of gravity and fell to the ground with too much force. Seeing this, Pope and Murray all rushed over, preparing to continue to fight back.

Murray alone would never dare to touch Kevin Li's tiger ass, but with Pope's words,
When the weather cleared and the rain stopped, he felt that he could do it again!

But Li Kaiwen did not let himself fall into the encirclement situation. When he was sitting on the ground and was about to shout "timeout", he suddenly had an idea and raised the basketball with both hands and slammed it on the ground.
The basketball passed between the legs of Murray who was running towards him, went straight into the penalty area, and passed to Zhou Qi who was still standing under the basket and could not retreat in time!
This crotch-passing pass was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Nuggets players were all stunned. Everyone said that Jokic's passing was full of imagination, but the passing of this Chinese boy in front of him was simply science fiction!

Can you organize the team's offense while sitting on the ground?

So when Zhou Qi caught the basketball, Jokic didn't even have time to react.

When he saw him take action, Jokic's big hand waved up. There was a loud "pop" sound, and Zhou Qi's left arm was immediately red and swollen from his slap.

But Zhou Qi shot the basket with his right hand!

The basketball swayed, and slowly fell into the basket under the expectant eyes of the fans in the audience.
At this moment, the referee's whistle also sounded. Zhou Qi faced Jokic's tough foul and actually scored a 2+1!

Li Kaiwen just made a flying save and assisted, but now he came to sit on the ground and penetrated the crotch to assist 2+1.

All are famous scenes and all are top five goals!
Even the reporters sitting on the sidelines shook their heads in excitement. Whenever they cover this Chinese kid's game, they can always see him coming up with some new tricks.

He is like a wholesaler of the top five golf balls. He can take wonderful shots that others will never be able to make, but it’s like free of charge. You can come as you like!
Pau Gasol laughed heartily and poked Reggie Miller next to him with his elbow while laughing.

"Hahahaha, you're right Reggie, the Nuggets are so vigilant that they can't even keep an eye on the ball under their crotch!"

"Li Kaiwen has a kind of magic power. No matter how bad the situation is, he can always resolve it for you!"
