The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 311
In a blink of an eye, the time came to 2015.

New year, new atmosphere, the Kings also started a new winning streak.

On the 1st, the Kings played away against the Timberwolves.

Does it matter if you face a weak team like the Timberwolves?
Definitely another win.

After the big victory, the Kings beat the Pistons away, the Magic at home, and the Thunder again.

For a while, the Kings won another wave of four consecutive victories.

On the 11th, the Kings sit at home, ushering in the most popular Cavaliers before the season!
Unfortunately, due to James' absence due to injury, the Cavaliers who only rely on Irving and Love are not opponents of the Kings at all.

At 84:113, the Cavaliers lost to the Kings, unable to fight back.

After this campaign, the media criticized James one-sidedly, thinking that he had run away and used his injury as an excuse to avoid the fight with Li Pu.

In this regard, James also accepted an interview immediately after the game.

"Of course I am not escaping. In fact, there is no one in the entire league who can make me evade! I really want to play, but the team doctor does not agree with my decision. They and the coaching staff also think that I still need time to recover! Although I am very sad , but still respect the decision of the coach and the team doctor! I believe that when our two teams play against each other at the end of the month, I will definitely fight them!"

There is no doubt that James' speech put all the blame on the coach and team doctor.

It's not that I don't want to play, it's because objective conditions don't allow it!

Don't worry, next time our two teams play against each other, I will never back down!
After this interview, there were obviously fewer voices criticizing James on the Internet. On the contrary, everyone was full of interest in the reunion of the two teams at the end of the month.

I have to say that James knows marketing!
With one shot, it played a decisive role in changing the public opinion in one fell swoop, and made people pay attention to the confrontation between the two teams.

After defeating the Cavaliers, the Kings lost, and the opponent they lost to was actually the old Mavericks.

In this game, the Mavericks' wounded have basically returned, and the lineup is fairly neat.

Although Nowitzki performed poorly and only made 13 of 5 shots and scored 15 points, the two generals in the backcourt, Monta Ellis and Rajon Rondo, played an outstanding performance!

Ellis scored 28 points and 10 assists, and Rondo scored 21 points and 7 assists. Both of them performed at a super level.

In fact, even so, it was still the Kings who took the initiative.

At most, the Kings had led by 15 points, but the Mavericks tenaciously chased the score back, and in the end, Chandler Parsons made a mid-range shot, which dragged the score into overtime.

In overtime, Ellis and Rondo scored all 9 points and finally won the game.

On the other hand, the Kings, although Li Pu scored 32 points, 16 rebounds and 9 assists in a quasi-triple-double, he left the game with six fouls during overtime and could only sit on the sidelines as a spectator, so he lost the game.

After losing to the Mavericks, the Kings had their fourth loss of the season.

You must know that the regular season has been nearly halfway through at this time, and the Kings have only lost four games so far. The media were surprised to find that this Kings may really break the Bulls' 72 wins!

Now, the Kings are getting more and more angry, and it feels like they are about to ignite spontaneously!
On January 1, the Kings happened to meet the Heat.

As a tourist city, Miami has a local population of more than 500 million, but more than 2000 million tourists come here every year.

Therefore, in tonight's game, nearly half of the fans in the American Airlines Arena cheered for the Kings, and even fans wearing the Kings' "88" jerseys could be seen everywhere in the arena.

This phenomenon is simply tingling.

In this case, coupled with Wade's continued absence due to injury tonight, it is difficult to lead the team to victory with "Dragon King" Bosh alone.

In the end, although Bosh scored 30 points and 7 rebounds, the Kings still defeated the Heat 103:95 and refused to lose streak.

After that, the Kings defeated the three strong teams of the Clippers, Trail Blazers and Nets one after another, and then met the Warriors.

Both sides regard each other as the strongest opponents this season, and before this game, the two teams drew 1-1. Therefore, this game is obviously the most important to each other.

After the game started, the Kings showed their long-lost concentration and showed their full strength as soon as they came up.

The five starting players all scored in the first quarter, including breakthroughs, three-pointers, and mid-range shots. They scored 35 points in a single quarter!
However, looking at the score, it was indeed 35:34, and the Kings only led by 1 point.

No way, the Warriors' three-pointers tonight were just like hanging up. They made 12 of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, and their shooting percentage was as high as 50%.

With such an accurate three-pointer, the Kings still overtook the score with the excellent performance of the substitute.

Less than that, in the second quarter, as the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage dropped, the Kings seized the opportunity and played a wave of 10:0 highs, helping the Kings to open the point difference to 10 points in one fell swoop.

Although the Warriors scored consecutively to narrow the point difference, even so, at the end of the first half, the Kings led by 61 points 56:5.

Originally, seeing this, everyone thought that the Kings were still the dominant side, but who knew that after the start of the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Middleton scored a three-pointer, and then Giannis dunked again, and the point difference came directly to 10 points.

However, soon, Thompson returned the color with a mid-range shot, and then, Thompson's three-point arrows rained down.

For a while, no matter who defends Thompson, Thompson can score a three-pointer!

When Thompson hit his ninth three-pointer in this quarter, he had already scored 9 points in a single quarter!
The Buddha's Light, the Buddha's Light appeared again, and it was stronger than the last time!
You know, in the last match between the two teams, Thompson "only" scored 21 points in a single quarter and scored 41 points in the game.

However tonight, Thompson scored 35 points in a single quarter!

Under Thompson's magical performance, the Warriors also went from being 10 points behind to overtaking the score in one fell swoop and becoming a 4-point lead.

That's right, even if Thompson exploded like this, the Kings still bit the score and didn't let the Warriors completely pull the score away.

Here I have to say Li Pu!

He is really too strong. When the opponent scores consecutively, he can always stand up and respond to maintain the score of the Kings.

Right after that, Li Pu hit another hook to narrow the score.

In the end, with Thompson making two free throws, he scored 37 points in a single quarter, helping the Warriors enter the fourth quarter with a 4-point lead.

Since the Kings were not beaten in the third quarter, the Kings took the lead again as soon as the fourth quarter came up.

However, at this time, Thompson did not have the shooting percentage in the third quarter, and he made 3 of 0 shots.

Seeing that the Kings were about to make a comeback, Curry stood up again at this time and threw two consecutive three-pointers.

Then Curry's touch seemed to be transmitted to Thompson, causing Thompson to start entering too!
This time, the Warriors regained the lead.

In this way, even in the last quarter, Li Pu scored again and again, once narrowing the point difference to only 1 point.

But after all, he still lost his breath.

At 126:121, the Warriors won a victory at the King's home court.

Thompson scored 62 points and became the biggest contributor to the Warriors' victory.

Li Pu also scored 48 points and 14 rebounds tonight, but unfortunately, he failed to help the team win!
After all, Li Pu also lost to Foguang Puzhao!
