Chapter 288 Braun was sent off
A simple breakthrough variation by Kevin Li caused Braun to get his fifth foul.

And this is also the Nuggets' fifth foul in the fourth quarter. From now on, even if they touch a hair on the Lakers' offensive players, they will send their opponents to the free throw line!

Coach Malone kept shaking his head on the sidelines. Braun really made all the mistakes that young people can make. When Porter was in front of him just now, he didn't have to get so close to Kevin Li.

Young man, he was completely manipulated by the old...little ruffian opposite!

Li Kaiwen is several years younger than this handsome white man, but why is there such a big gap in court experience between the two?
The Lakers narrowed the point difference to 1 point through Li Kaiwen's two free throws.

All the Lakers fans present breathed a sigh of relief, but Jokic ran to the baseline and quickly grabbed the basketball from the referee's hand.

A long ball passed to Braun who had already run to the bottom corner of the frontcourt!

All the Lakers players did not expect that at this stage of the game, Jokic would dare to play such a difficult pass. If someone could react and get in front of Braun just now, Teacher Yokic would have made a mistake. !

But the higher the risk, the higher the reward. This time Jokic made the right bet, and no one expected him to be so aggressive.

When Braun received the pass, there was no Lakers player around him. This was a completely wide open space!
At the critical moment, the white guy showed no mercy. He steadily raised the basketball, ignored the noisy interference from the Lakers fans not far away, and calmly shot the basketball.

Li Kaiwen watched the spinning basketball fly high, fall slowly at the highest point, and then accurately pass through the net.

"Three-pointer! Oh my god, Christian Braun hit a counterattack three-pointer at a critical moment, helping the team gain a 2-point lead in the last 40 minutes and 4 seconds!"

"This is the biggest lead the Nuggets have gained since the fourth quarter. Even if they do nothing now, the Lakers will have to spend nearly a minute to catch up with this 1-point difference!"

"In the end, the defending champion found an opportunity and gained the upper hand!"

"Kevin Li performed really well today, but he is just a rookie. His failure to return to defense just now was the biggest punishment the Nuggets gave him!"

"The Lakers have less than 3 minutes left before the end of the season!"

"Kevin Li, you don't have to be discouraged. If you practice three-point shooting next season, you will still be a good man!"

"Fans don't need to be too sad. We were swept by the Nuggets last season. Can't we be swept this season? History is like a wheel, it just keeps reincarnating!"

"Ahh, three points, you have one point more than two points!"

Reggie Miller burst into flames and reveled in joy.Compared to Li Kaiwen's foul-making and going to the free throw line just now, he still prefers Braun's iron-blooded three-pointer!

The Lakers fans held their heads in disappointment. Braun's three-pointer was like a hidden arrow from hell, shattering their confidence!

In less than 3 minutes, there was no chance of getting the ball back in two rounds.

Anyway, this is not the first time this season that the Lakers have stood on the edge of a cliff.

Jamal Murray looked at Kevin Li running past him and said proudly:

"My little brother will take care of you without me taking action."

"Enjoy the game Li, this is your last 3 minutes of the year."

Li Kaiwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and reminded himself loudly in his mind to increase his concentration.

This is the case in the playoffs. If you relax even a little bit, your opponent will seize the opportunity to open your wounds.He turned back and stared at Murray, whose face was filled with anger.

Don't worry, when I finish Braun, you will be next!

The offense and defense of both sides started again. This time after Li Kaiwen dribbled the ball past half-court, he found that Murray was in front of him.

Braun, who had five fouls, was obviously limited on the defensive end. Malone decisively arranged for him to mark Duncan Robinson.

His historical mission has been completed, and the most important thing now is to protect himself and not be knocked off the field.

After all, he not only helped the team on the defensive end today, but also made 12 of 5 three-pointers on the offensive end.

The title of "Qiwei" is well deserved!

Li Kaiwen laughed and immediately waved for Deng Luo to come over, hoping to continue to move Braun in front of him through the pick-and-roll.

"Kevin Li wants to attack Braun who has five fouls. I can understand that." Pau Gasol saw this scene and frowned:
"But he should not forget that the Nuggets guarded everyone today by changing every pick-and-roll. When guarding against him, they always chose to pursue the defense."

"They are still not afraid of Li Kaiwen's shooting ability!"

The Nuggets' defensive arrangement is very smart. Others switch to guard and mark people, and do not give them the opportunity to shoot directly.

When defending Li Kaiwen, we should give him a certain amount of shooting space, but not let him completely get the chance to easily break through.

Seeing Braun slipping past him, he had no intention of changing over.

But Li Kaiwen suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him, his eyes filled with longing for his young and beautiful body!
Seeing Li Kaiwen's behavior, Braun thought he was smart and stood still waiting for him to hit him.

Unexpectedly, when Li Kaiwen was about to knock him down, he turned with a spinning top and passed him by.

The left elbow that rotated along with the body brought Braun's arm with a huge centrifugal force, and then he saw this kid flying far away like a curling stone!

"Drip~!"

The whistle sounded at the right time, and in the expectant eyes of everyone in the Nuggets,

The referee actually signaled that Braun had committed a blocking foul!
"What? Fuxk!"

The referee shook his head at the young man who was about to go berserk, and explained for the first time:
"It stands to reason that flopping should be called a technical foul. Since you are young and it is your first offense, let's forget it this time."

That little look seemed to be asking Braun for credit, and the referee nodded to himself.

Saved this guy another fine!
In this way, Braun personally sent Li Kaiwen to the free throw line, and he himself graduated from the foul line and went off to have tea.

He walked off the field dejectedly amid the cheers of the fans at the Encryption Center. After seeing Coach Malone, he just wanted to explain,
He saw the latter patting his butt and turning his head to look at the field.

This kid has overfulfilled his task tonight. In the past, he only played ten minutes per game. He played almost 30 minutes today, which has exceeded everyone's expectations.

As for being sent off, no one knew whether it was a flop just now. Even if he suffered a dumb loss, it can only be blamed on his lack of experience!

Li Kaiwen stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws again amidst the cheers of MVP in the sky!
