The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 256
Li Pu turned around and encountered Duncan and Leonard's pincer attack. A small basketball was actually covered by three hands, and it seemed that the ball was not enough to score.

Caught off guard, Leonard actually severed the basketball from Li Pu's hands.

Not only that, but while snatching the basketball, Duncan also gave Li Pu a secret force and directly knocked Li Pu to the ground.

Pushed down by two thick black men, Li Pu fell to the floor. Although his butt hurts, it is not as painful as his heart.

After entering the second half, the Spurs became more unscrupulous in double-teaming Li Pu.

Li Pu fell to the floor more and more times, almost catching up with Embiid's average number of falls per game!

It just so happened that in tonight's game, the teammates didn't feel good, and they failed to seize the opportunities that appeared because of being double-teamed several times!

In desperation, Li Pu could only choose to come by himself, and this is how the scene in front of him came about!
The Spurs made a fast break and ended with Leonard's dunk!
He performed very well tonight, not only locked Butler on the defensive end, but also scored 10 points on the offensive end, and this is already the highest scorer on the Spurs team!

The point difference between the two teams was once again opened to 7 points.

Li Pu got up from the ground, ignoring the pain in his body, and came beyond the three-point line, waiting for Bledsoe to pass the ball after halftime, and handed him the ball.

The reason why Li Pu had to catch the ball outside the three-point line was that the Spurs surrounded him too tightly. Take the ball just now as an example.
For this situation, Li Pu already understood that the other party was planning to drive him out, and he was not allowed to enter the restricted area, so you can do whatever you want outside!
Such a strategy is indeed in line with the basketball philosophy at this time, especially Popovich's philosophy.

That is, the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting rate. Three-pointers can't kill people!

In the second half, after half a quarter of experiments, Li Pu had already understood the opponent's thinking.

That being the case, then Li Pu is not impolite. After all, he has seen how the peak Curry plays?
Who said three-pointers can't kill people?
Li Pu dribbled the ball, and his teammates opened up space for him, a typical singles tactic at the top of the arc.

The only difference is that the person who initiated the attack was Li Pu, who was supposed to be in a low position.

And everyone else is now outside the three-point line, leaving the Spurs empty inside.

To be honest, after coming to the Kings, the media criticized Li Pu endlessly.

Although Li Pu brought the team into the playoffs, his style of playing in autumn still made many people feel tired, thinking that the more he played, the softer he became!

What a tough person he used to be, but now he is playing more and more outside. How can a big center play outside and hold the ball?

In fact, not only the outside world has opinions, but there are not a few people in the team who hold such opinions.

But Li Pu has a special status in the Kings team, that is, he is the king's prince. He is the only star in the team, and now he still holds the privilege. He is simply under one person and above ten thousand people.

What if you have an opinion?
And as the team's record got better and better, and Li Pu's performance became better and better, the voices in the team gradually fell silent, and turned into flowers and applause.

But Li Pu understood that these voices did not disappear, but were covered up by victory.

Once one day I can't bring victory, then these voices will counterattack with ten times their strength!

However, Li Pu is confident that he will lead the king to win like this!

Li Pu continuously changed direction and followed up with pull-up jumpers, just like the three-pointer in the first half, Splitter was still defending him, and he still couldn't block it!

Feather arrows are rustling, and the technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps is high!

Basketball hollow into the net!

"Wow, Prince felt so accurate today, he hit the third three-pointer tonight!"

Li Pu's three-pointer ignited the enthusiasm of the on-site commentary and the audience, but could not shake the nerves of the Spurs players.

They have experienced many battles and have never seen any scenes. How could they make a fuss because of a three-pointer?

Soon, the Spurs missed a shot and the Kings got a chance to counterattack.

Bledsoe rushed forward with sparks and lightning all the way, but the Spurs had long been prepared and retreated in time, preventing Bledsoe from attacking the basket immediately.

But Bledsoe's reaction was also alert. Seeing that his route to the basket was blocked, he passed the ball to the outside.

Li Pu just came here on horseback at this time. He was unlucky when he received the basketball, so he directly chose to chase the body for a three-pointer!
"Shh!"

Three points again!

The point difference returned to 1 points again!
Not long after, Parker made a counter-run layup and opened the point difference to 3 points again.

But then, Li Pu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and then directly chose a three-point shot again facing Splitter.

This time Split didn't intend to let Li Pu make the shot, but tried his best to interfere, but in this situation, Li Pu stared blankly and made the three-pointer!

Again!

Li Pu's three three-pointers tied the score!

This scene made the audience so excited that they were in a trance. Who said Li Pu is not hard?
He shoots so hard from beyond the arc!
They have never seen such a hard three-pointer!
Seeing that Li Pu was getting more and more accurate, even the Spurs players began to lose their balance. They all turned to look at Popovich off the court, with expressions that seemed to say: Boss, what should I do?We have never seen this scene!
It is impossible to say that he is not nervous, but Popovich is an experienced coach after all, and he has unimaginably tough nerves in the face of pressure.

I saw him get up and face the technical table, and called a timeout.

When the players came off the court, he said: "Three-pointers are not that scary! Three-pointers can't kill people, and centers can't kill people with three-pointers! Don't be confused by his three-pointers, even if he 10 shots, it's only 30 points, all we have to do is keep our rhythm..."

It has to be said that Popovich has rich coaching experience. Just a few words allowed the players who were about to lose their positions to stabilize the situation.

After the timeout, their offense and defense became orderly again, as if they were not disturbed by Li Pu's three-pointer at all.

But at this time, the morale of the Kings has gradually picked up. With Li Pu's performance, they seem to have passed the most difficult period.

The pick-and-roll between Bledsoe and Lip made Parker and Duncan pay too much attention to Lip and ignored Bledsoe.

I saw him rushing into the penalty area quickly, and completed the shot before Dior's help defense was in place.

But unfortunately, the ball was still missed. At the critical moment, Giannis slapped the ball out, and it happened to fall into the hands of Li Pu on the outside.

After Li Pu got the ball, he actually chose to step back and make a three-pointer.

Zhang Gong and the arrow are startled, I am waiting for the wind and I am waiting for you!
Li Pu hit another three-pointer!

At 70:69, the Kings overtook the score again before the end of the third quarter!
