Chapter 18 The Lakers Defeated
Ling Yu yelled at Fisher with a serious expression and seemed a little annoyed.Fisher didn't have any reluctance, handed the ball to Ling Yu, and then pulled it to the side.

Holding the ball, Ling Yu stared straight at the basket with vigor in his eyes.Dribble, pull away, change direction, feint.The defensive players of the Suns rushed forward, posing as if they were going to die.At this time, the center of the Lakers ran up from the low post, trying to help Ling Yu pick and roll.

"Go away."

Ling Yu scolded angrily, suddenly accelerated, hit Huanglong straight, and jumped high on the free throw line.Suns center Muller made up for it from the side, jumped up with his arms outstretched, trying to block Ling Yu's dunk.

The two bodies collided violently in the air, and Ling Yu, who was relatively thin, seemed to be at a disadvantage when he met Mu Le, who was full of tonnage.Sure enough, as soon as the two came into contact, Ling Yu leaned back a little, and his face was a little ferocious, as if he had lost his center of gravity and balance.

Ling Yu gritted his teeth, bent his calf, made a fold in the air, and threw the ball forcefully, while he fell back and lay on the floor.At this time, the whistle sounded, and the referee pointed to the free throw line, then stretched out a finger, and ran under the basket.

A beautiful two plus one, of course the people in the arena would not take pity on their applause, cheers erupted in the arena.Fisher ran over and stretched out his hand to pull Ling Yu up.

Ling Yu wiped the sweat from his hands, his expression still serious, he bit his jersey and walked to the free throw line.

Seeing that Ling Yu was ready, the referee hit the ball in his hand to Ling Yu, and then raised his hands.Ling Yu took the ball and patted it twice, took a deep breath, threw the ball, and completed the three-pointer.

This ball added a lot of momentum to the Lakers, but it didn't disrupt the Suns' strategy. They still ran and cut in an orderly manner, looking for the best shooting opportunities.The Lakers looked disorganized and played in a mess, perhaps because they wanted to express themselves, they were basically reckless.Seeing this increased Ling Yu's idea of ​​going it alone.

After all, basketball is for five players, and two fists are no match for four hands, let alone ten hands.Not surprisingly, at halftime, the Lakers trailed 42-65.

Ling Yu scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.However, there are no assists.Look at Nash again, with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, showing his passing skills to the fullest.

Ling Yu gritted his teeth, stared at the score monitor with a tense face, and walked to the sideline resting place, without saying a word, and sat with a serious expression.Look at those players again, they are all listless, and the expressions on their faces are full of disappointment.Ling Yu picked up a towel to cover his head, and leaned back on the chair.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers replaced three people. Except for Ling Yu and Fisher, the other three went to the sidelines to shine their shoes.The three people who just came on the field were extremely excited, actively running and cutting the bottom of the basket.Ling Yu sneered, a dribble broke through the defensive player, went straight to the bottom of the basket, and before the defense came over, he changed hands for a layup and scored two points.

Compared with the Lakers, Phoenix did not have any major personnel changes. Nash was still on the court, dribbling the ball, looking in all directions, looking for the most favorable shooting position among his teammates.How could Fisher sit idly by, stomping small steps to step forward to defend.At this moment, Ling Yu grabbed Fisher and stared at Nash seriously.

"I'll defend."

After finishing speaking, Ling Yu stepped forward, opened his arms, and stared at Nash motionlessly. His keen eyes caught every move of Nash.

Fisher looked at Ling Yu and knew that he was starting to be serious. On the contrary, if someone asked for a job, he could relax a bit, so why not do it.As a result, Fisher misplaced the defensive shooting guard.

At this time, Nash suddenly wanted to pass the ball to the dismantled center forward, but Ling Yu had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he stretched out his hand to break the ball.Start, accelerate, jump high, dunk and score, all in one go.

Steals, breakthroughs, one-stop service.Such a beautiful ball is naturally indispensable to the cheers now and again.The fluorescent boards are flashing, and the whistle is stimulating the eardrums, all of which are applauding for the ball.Fisher did not forget to applaud his friend, rushed up, and slapped Ling Yu's palm hard.However, Ling Yu didn't show the slightest excitement, his face was still serious, and besides that, there was also a bit of ferocity.He gritted his teeth and turned to mark Nash.

The arrogance of the sun seems to have been suppressed a lot, but those players are still actively running, waiting for a defensive player to get distracted and get an open space for themselves.

"Two-three defense."

Ling Yu scolded, and ran to the right wing, while Fisher ran to the left of the free throw line.The other three were stunned for a moment, then they also ran to the defense position
Such a joint defense, following the ball and not following others, has achieved a lot of results.Every time the Suns players want to break through, the Lakers close their doors.After such a few back and forth, the Suns either made a mistake or were defended against a 24-second violation.Perhaps because he is still immature, the Son of the Wind has nothing to do with the zone defense, and he makes mistakes again and again.

On the other hand, the Lakers, taking advantage of this opportunity, under the leadership of Ling Yu, chased the score to 71:76 and were only 5 points behind. In desperation, the Suns requested a timeout.At this time, the momentum of the Lakers also rose. Whether on or off the court, they were full of energy, staring at the Suns and swearing trash.

A long timeout came, and the Suns put on a strong forward.Ling Yu looked at the man, frowned, and said to himself, "They don't want him to hit the basket and tear apart the zone defense?" In fact, apart from the forward, the Suns also changed their shooting guard.

This is what the Suns intended. Nash dribbled the ball to the front court without stopping, poured the ball to the new forward, and then pulled himself to the baseline.

The man looked at the running position of his teammates, and then dribbled the ball sideways, sitting and hitting inside, forcing the Lakers' defensive players to step forward to defend.Due to the difference in weight, the player defending the man backed up one after another. In desperation, Fisher hurried over to help defend.

At this moment, Nash showed a large gap, and the forward hurriedly passed the ball to Nash.Nash paused for a moment, and raised his hand for a three-pointer. Ling Yu wanted to step forward to defend, but it was too late, so he could only watch the ball hit the net.

After a few back and forth, both sides are fighting each other.The Lakers rely on Ling Yu's powerful breakthrough to tear through the Suns' defense and score layups; the Suns play overall basketball, first after a strong forward strikes, they take the opportunity to find teammates in open positions and score points.

The two sides are like this, you come and go, you cut me with a knife, I will send you an axe, the point difference has not been opened again, and it has been maintained until the end. The Suns won the first summer league with 112 to 107. Victory.

With a dark face, Ling Yu walked to the locker room without saying a word.Unexpectedly, a bunch of reporters had already surrounded the passage of the locker room. When they saw Ling Yu walking in, they crowded forward and rushed to interview.

"Kobe. 47 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 steals. Are you satisfied with your performance today?"

"Kobe Bryant, what do you think of Phoenix?"

"Do you think you will win tomorrow's game?"

"Do you think Nash will be your strong opponent in the future?"

……

Media reporters surrounded the player tunnel so tightly that not even a fly could fly in.Some of them stood on tiptoe vigorously, some held the camera high, and some kept digging in, all with the purpose of interviewing Ling Yu and competing for newspaper headlines.

The loss had already upset Ling Yu, but now that this group of reporters came again, his heart was even more disturbed, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart.

"Aren't you finished?"

Ling Yu yelled, his eyes were burning with anger, he looked around at the astonished reporters, and shook off the towel from his hand.Angrily said: "Get out of the way."

The paparazzi have always been fearless. They dared to break into the emperor's inner room and surrounded the White House.However, this time, they seemed to be a little bit jealous of Ling Yu's aura, they all quieted down, and made way for a passage.

Ling Yu stared at them, picked up the towel on the floor, and walked into the locker room.
