I just play ball

Chapter 131 Lucky or unlucky?

"The whole audience stood up because of this?" O'Neill said with a smile, "Who did this record belong to before?"

"This record originally belonged to former Spurs player David Robinson. In a game against the Kings in the 00-01 regular season, he scored 12 points and 10 rebounds in only about 11 minutes. Li Yue shortened the record time to 8 minutes and 56 seconds, and it's on the stage of the finals." Ernie spoke quickly, "Other players who picked him up close to this record, as well as Wilperdo and Joe Klein, are all centers and have natural rebounds Advantage."

"It sounds like it is almost impossible to be surpassed." Barkley nodded, "Especially at the competition level."

"Totally agree. To achieve 10 assists is ten times more difficult than to grab 10 rebounds. Not only do you need to properly grasp the actual passing of the ball, but you also need your teammates to perform exceptionally well. Even the opponents have fast-paced requirements. The Heat just happened to be tonight. In line, Li Yue's achievement of this record can be said to be God's arrangement, and any missing link will not work." Kenny said.

"This is a huge bonus for Li Yue to win the FMVP." Ernie said, "The director told me that there have been more than [-] related discussions on Twitter and INS, and many media expressed their shock."

...

On the field, LeBron caused a foul on Clark, and the Lakers requested a timeout.

Li Yue walked back to the bench and gave high-fives to his teammates one by one. Everyone congratulated him for reaching the historical record.

He was also a little excited in his heart, and finally created an exclusive performance like Chamberlain's 100 points on the NBA stage. Although it didn't sound that important, it was rare.

D'Antoni simply emphasized the tactical focus, the rotation was carried out according to the routine, and the arrangement was completed quickly.

Artest replaced Li Yue as a small forward, Gasol and Blake also played.

The Heat replaced the second team, led by LeBron, assisted by Ray Allen, Cole, Anderson and others.

The game continued, the two teams maintained a high level of performance, the situation was inextricably linked, leading alternately.

After the official suspension of the second quarter ended, the two teams switched back to the main lineup, and the situation was still anxious.

Then in the third quarter, the Heat stepped up their defense, and LeBron and Wade also launched an all-out attack mode. However, the Lakers battled wits and courage, and Li Yue and Kobe played the entire quarter.

...

During the break between festivals, Li Yue sat next to Kobe, took over the IPAD from the video editor Bodaen, and analyzed the previous mistakes together, trying to avoid the last quarter. Nash and others then joined the discussion.

At the end of the analysis, Kobe said seriously: "The Heat are in very good shape tonight. If we let them tie, it will only be more difficult to play later. We must use 200% of our efforts to completely defeat them and let them lead 3-1. They doubt themselves!"

The whole team nodded in agreement.

The reason is very simple. If a team loses in poor form, it must feel like starting over. Just like the Heat in the third quarter of G3, they lost to the Lakers because they felt poor. In the end, they fell short. If you lose the game, there is no reason to look for. Most of them are worried that they will not be able to win in the future, and their decision-making and execution will be more or less affected.

After making up his mind, the coach temporarily adjusted the rotation strategy. The five starting 23 teams took a break for 2 minutes, and then played until the end of the game. Although Kobe and Li Yue played slightly longer than each other, it must be hard work, and it is worth it.

...

A long whistle sounds and the pause ends.

With 6 minutes and 03 seconds left in the game, the two teams all switched back to the starting lineup for the final decisive battle.

The Lakers led 95 to 94, and it was the Heat's turn to attack.

LeBron took the ball from the right wing, faced Clark in a three-threat position, then dribbled the ball with his left hand to test, then switched from his crotch to his right hand, and rushed to the free throw line step by step, with his back against it and walked in. After two consecutive times, he received the ball Jumping, face-to-basket toss.

Snapped!Howard fanned the ball beyond the three-point line.

Chalmers received the ball at 45 degrees on the left and was preparing to reorganize when LeBron ran to the bottom corner and shouted loudly.

Obviously looking for a place, that can be blocked easily!

Chalmers immediately gave the ball, LeBron received it, ignoring the defensive threat and making a three-pointer.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Heat overtook 97 to 95.

The Lakers attack, and Li Yue is in the bottom corner on the right.

Nash took the ball to the right wing, passed it to the top of the arc, and went straight to the inside.

Clark received the ball, turned around and divided the left wing to Kobe, and also went inside.

Seeing that the two were in place, Li Yue kicked off the ground and started to run. With the help of two people's positioning cover, he easily slipped to the top of the arc.

But the Heat had been prepared for a long time, and Wade pressed close to him, delaying Kobe's passing time.

In just one second, LeBron bypassed the double screen and blocked Li Yue's path again.

The tactical movement was blocked, and De Anton frowned.

Li Yue made a decisive decision, stopped the brakes suddenly, and erected a wall in reverse, delaying both Miller and LeBron at the same time.

Clark would bounce unexpectedly, receive Kobe's pass at a 45-degree angle, and wait with his hands up.

Nash understood in seconds, returned to the sideline to catch the ball, and Li Yue cut in with his back to the basket.

LeBron chased after him with very little room to maneuver, but Nash was so bold that he forced a pass to the basket.

Seeing this, Li Yue jumped up, caught the ball in the air and tried to hit the board, imitating Carter's back dunk to kill the Raptors.

boom!The basketball bounces off the backboard and into the net.

Li Yue landed on the ground and threw his fist in celebration, and the scene resounded with cheers.

"AMZING!" O'Neill hugged his bald head with both hands and exclaimed, "He's so handsome tonight!"

...

The Heat attack, Wade dribbles the ball to the top of the arc and passes it to LeBron with his right elbow.

Bosh moves laterally from the left elbow to the left sideline, sets up the wall, and sets a screen for Chalmers.

Nash squeezed forward first, but Chalmers ran back with a feint and went straight to the basket.

Howard retreated a little delay, Nash hurried around the cover to catch up, and Bosh took the opportunity to retreat.

LeBron immediately scored the ball, Howard had no time to defend, Bosh took a calm shot, and the basketball went into the net.

Nash shook his head and clapped his hands, as if depressed by his low-level mistakes, took the basketball and accelerated.

Seeing that Nash stopped the ball on the right wing to direct the movement, Li Yue stopped and squatted on the left wing to wait.

Soon, Nash used Howard to cover the transfer.

Howard's size completely blocked Chalmers, and Bosh was forced to switch defenses.

Nash rushed all the way to the top of the arc, and after ensuring that the dislocation advantage was large enough, he hit the legend in the low post.

Howard played back singles, squeezed Chalmers to get space with light force, and turned forward to break through.

Clark was hard to resist, Nash stepped forward to help defend against interference, LeBron passed back instantly, and Chalmers rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced into the net.

"The Heat's strongest moment is here," Barkley said. "The Lakers' state is also exploding. It depends on who can last to the end!"

...

The Lakers attacked and passed the frontcourt several times. Howard took the ball in the low post on the left and hit Bosh with his back.

He made continuous strong headers, turned back and walked to the baseline, took off with the ball in both hands, and smashed the dunk vigorously.

Bosh watched the whole process, hurriedly picked up the basketball and exited the baseline, and hurriedly passed it to Chalmers.

The Heat landed in the frontcourt, and LeBron continued to hit Clark with his back at the elbow, and returned to the top of the arc after being defended by Nash.

The process was exactly the same as the previous round, but Chalmers missed the hit this time.

Li Yue grabbed the rebound and advanced to 45 degrees to the left of the frontcourt in three seconds.

At this time, the Heat's five have not yet retreated to the free throw line, and Clark has already stood in the low position on the left.

Li Yue decisively hit the ground to pass the ball, took advantage of the momentum and rushed to the goal, wanting to play the simplest pass and cut cooperation.

Wade and Bosh contracted to double-team Clark, LeBron chased after Li Yue, and the Heat completed their defense in an instant.

But Clark turned around and then divided the middle, and Howard, who followed up, caught the ball and took off, making a gentle small throw.

The basketball bounced off the hoop, bounced back and forth several times, and finally fell down.

Sighs sounded in the arena, players from the two teams huddled together under the basket, and the basketball was moved by several hands and flew out.

Chalmers successfully picked it up, dribbled a direct long pass, and Wade received the ball from the three-point line in the front court, slow first and then fast, and forced a breakthrough.

Kobe took small steps back and forth again and again, facing Wade's European step change direction throw, and took off at the right time to block the shot.

The basketball was disturbed, smashing the basket and hitting the iron, Clark rushed to get the rebound, and almost fell out of bounds.

Nash received the ball from the center line and turned around to advance. With Howard's cover at 45 degrees on the right, he rushed to the basket and made an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot.

Snapped!LeBron's big hat slapped the basketball, and Chalmers successfully picked it up again and continued to make a long pass to the frontcourt.

Wade catches the ball and pushes forward, Kobe and Clark pursue at the same time, Li Yue notices that LeBron is unguarded.

Having learned from the past, Wade did not dare to rush in. He took the ball to the left corner and passed it to Miller who followed up to the top of the arc, and the latter immediately divided the right corner.LeBron catches the ball and drives straight to the basket like a European heavy truck driving at full speed.

Li Yue was fearless, and stood on both feet ahead of time to intercept, but LeBron changed direction and dodged, leaping high, vowing to dunk!
Snapped!Howard Pegboard Big Hat!
LeBron yelled a foul, but the referee ignored it, and Li Yue picked up the basketball and turned to advance.

He rushed to 45 degrees to the left in the blink of an eye, but the Heat returned to defense faster and could only land.

After a little observation, Li Yue raised his hand and gestured to call for tactics, and Howard came up to set up a wall as a cover.

Bosh switched defenses to chase and intercept, and Kobe came up to do the pick-and-roll again. Li Yue twisted his hips and turned sideways, speeding up and rushing into the lane.

Bosh teamed up with Wade to double-team, Li Yue rushed to the basket, faced LeBron's defense, did not intend to pull the bar as bravely as Rose, and decisively stopped and turned around, jumped up and twisted his body in the air to pass the ball out, which can be called an extreme operation!

At this time, Kobe, who had blocked and disassembled, received the ball at the 45-degree three-point line on the left, with no defense two meters around him.

Boom boom boom!The basketball rebounded twice and fell into the Nets. The Lakers led 105 to 102.

"After a chaotic battle, I feel that the Lakers have controlled the rhythm. If the Heat can't score next, it will be dangerous!" Kenny said, "They just didn't continue in G3, and they were completely defeated!"

The Heat attacked, Chalmers dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to LeBron who mentioned the left elbow.

The audience shouted and defended in unison. Wade started from the right corner, walked along the bottom line to the left, slid Kobe away from Miller's screen, and suddenly ran back and cut to the basket.Seeing this, LeBron passed the ball, Wade caught the layup and easily scored two points.

"The two teams are interesting. If you strike iron, I will also strike iron. If you score, I will also score goals." Barkley laughed, "The rhythm is almost the same, and the intensity of the competition is breathless."

...

The Lakers attack, and Li Yue is in the bottom corner on the left.

Nash drives the ball to the right wing, Howard and Clark get to the free throw line, and the basket is almost clear.

Kobe went down to the low position on the left side, set up a human wall as a positioning cover, Li Yue saw this and started running, taking the opportunity to slip to the basket on the right side.

Basketball rebounds into the net, Lakers lead 106 to 104, time left

The Heat attacked, Chalmers dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to Miller who mentioned the left elbow.

Wade started running from the right corner, along the baseline to the left, around the LeBron screen to throw off Kobe, and ran back to the basket.

Li Yue was a little confused when he saw this.

The Heat want to play the same tactic for the second time. Although it is a different pass, it is too taken for granted, right?

Kobe naturally also saw the clues, squeezed close to catch up, and successfully blocked Wade from receiving the ball.But Miller threw the ball to LeBron, bent over, raised his hand slightly to prepare for the return pass, and the other Heat players retreated to the right half to open up space.

LeBron made a strong push with his back, made three strong tops in a row, turned around and took off to shoot.

The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, Bosh took off to make a tip-up, but still failed to hit.

Li Yue grabbed the rebound and quickly brought it to the left wing. He looked up to check the timer and found that there was 1 minute and 43 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Lakers lead by 2 points at this time, and the two teams each have only two timeouts left. The best strategy is to score points steadily.

After making up his mind, Li Yue passed the ball to Kobe at the top of the arc, strode to the bottom corner, took advantage of Nash's off-ball cover, slightly left LeBron, and walked along the baseline to the right bottom corner, while Nash ran to the left corner. Side catch.

Chalmers intercepted close to him, and the chance of breakthrough was poor, so Nash passed the ball back.

Kobe retreated to the center line, the Lakers opened up space, and Howard then went up to screen.

Kobe broke through to the left, Wade and Bosh double-teamed, Chalmers was ready to join in, Howard turned and cut to the basket, LeBron and Miller turned to shrink ahead of time, the Heat focused on the left side halftime.

I thought, Kobe took off and crossed, Clark received the ball from the right wing, and immediately divided Li Yue in the corner.

Miller flew back to the defense, Li Yue got away with a feint, dribbled the ball into the short corner, and started a three-step layup with both hands.

LeBron jumped head-on to block the shot. Li Yue decided to learn from Rose this time and pulled the lever bravely.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul on LeBron's thug, and the basketball bounced off the rim and into the net.

2+1!

The cheers from the Staples Center exploded like thunder in the clear sky!
One after another, continuously.

Amid the MVP cheers from the audience, Li Yue stood on the free throw line and made a steady hit and added a penalty. The Lakers led 109 to 104.

With 1 minute and 27 seconds left in the game, the Heat requested a timeout, and cheers resounded through the arena again.

...

There is nothing to arrange for the timeout. The two teams know the basics and only fight for willpower, tenacity and execution details.

D'Antoni crazily encouraged the whole team, replaced Clark with Gasol, and the timeout ended in a blink of an eye.

The short whistle sounded, the Heat served from the left sideline of the frontcourt, Chalmers was replaced, and Ray Allen was replaced.

The referee blew the whistle, and the Heat started running at full speed. After a few screens, LeBron received the ball with his left elbow.

Gasol's footsteps were a little slow and failed to keep up. LeBron rushed to the basket, faced Howard's defense, and scored with a low hand
Bosh catches the ball and jumps on the spot, resists Gasol's interference, and hits the board with both hands to score. The whole time is only 7 seconds.

Gasol showed remorse, picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds to Nash.

The Lakers attacked, with 1 minute and 20 seconds left before the end of the game, leading 109 to 106.

Nash dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and the Heat's defensive position was very good.

He observed for a long time, passed the ball to the left Kobe Bryant, Howard stepped forward to make a screen.

Kobe pretended to go to the right, but in fact he went to the left, swaying Ray Allen away with one step, heading inside like a sharp arrow, and making a layup at the buzzer.

Bosh flew to block the shot, knocked down Kobe, the basketball smashed into the rim, and Li Yuefei jumped up to try to make up the dunk, but failed.

Bosh grabbed the rebound, LeBron caught the ball and advanced, the audience chanted fouls, and the referee didn't respond.

Li Yue and Kobe were still in the backcourt, and the Heat played four-on-three in the frontcourt. The Lakers could only adopt a retreat strategy of betting on the inside.

I thought, LeBron made a long pass from the top of the arc to the right corner, and Ray Allen caught the ball and pulled it out.

A three-pointer hit the circle and hit the net, the Heat tied, the Lakers requested a timeout, and there were 48 seconds left before the end of the game.

...

TNT commentary seats.

"I knew that the substitution just now was absolutely wrong..." O'Neill hesitated to speak, his expression quite annoyed.

"Don't get excited, the Lakers theoretically still have 3 offensive opportunities." Barkley said, "They have a high success rate tonight."

"Actually, I think Kobe was fouled just now." Kenny shrugged, "But at this time, the players will decide the game."

...

The timeout ended, and the two teams did not make lineup adjustments.

The Lakers kicked off from the right sideline of the frontcourt. After many complicated screens, Kobe received the ball at the top of the arc.

Wade bent his knees and squatted slightly, his eyes were full of anger, as if he was treating a sworn enemy.

Kobe tried several times in a row, and the attack time was running out, so he chose to dribble to the right.

Seeing this, Li Yue stepped forward to make a screen, Kobe suddenly made a low pass, and Howard caught the ball and hit Bosh with his back.

Li Yue hurried to the top of the arc to take away LeBron to create space, but Wade ignored Kobe and slid forward to help defend.

Howard immediately returned the pass, Kobe received it, bent his knees and raised his head to aim at the basket.

Wade swooped, Kobe dodged with a cat waist, rushed to the free throw line in one step, and directly started a layup.

Bosh and Miller teamed up to double-team, Kobe underhanded the ball, and Howard jumped up and threw it in place.

Li Yue wanted to remind, but it was too late, LeBron vacated the cap, picked up the basketball and rushed forward.

The Heat did not request a timeout, and the Lakers retreated, with 26 seconds left before the end.

Li Yue tried his best to catch up with LeBron, successfully intercepted on the left wing, and the Heat were forced to drop.

The audience booed and interfered, LeBron waved his hand to indicate the audience to pull away, showing the singles.

LeBron's passing skills are well known, the Lakers dare not shrink, they can only let Li Yue defend alone.

Li Yue held his breath, feeling that the whole world had gone away, leaving only LeBron and basketball in his eyes.

Time is ticking, and the attack time is only 6 seconds left.
LeBron slumped his shoulders and lowered his waist, sideways protecting the basketball with zero skills and making a strong charge. The sizzling sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor, and the thumping sound of the basketball hitting the floor, combined to form an offensive background music, like a god descending.

Li Yue retreated again and again, preparing for a tactical foul at the last moment, or making an offensive foul at the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, LeBron made an emergency stop at the free throw line and retreated, making a Jordan-style shot.

The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net, and the Heat led 111 to 109 by two points, with 4 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Lakers requested a timeout, and the Staples Center was full of tension and anxiety.

...

Lakers bench.

D'Antoni wrote down the three-point tactics and changing tactics, looked up at Kobe and Li Yue, "Who are you coming?"

Li Yue heard the words and thought quickly. As long as the ball is thrown, the Lakers will lead 3 to 1, which is basically equivalent to locking the FMVP.

Theoretically speaking, the two had the same probability of success, and he wanted both honor and responsibility.

Just about to speak, Kobe covered his waist with his left hand, patted his shoulder with his right hand, and smiled, "Come on, I have a little difficulty in exerting strength, help us win this game!"

"Then you come." D'Antoni made a decision and replaced Gasol with Clark.

Li Yue wanted to ask, but the whistle sounded, so he could only give up first.

...

The timeout ended, and the Heat replaced Ray Allen with Chalmers.

The entire Lakers team entered the court, Nash stood at the basket on the right side, Clarke stood at the short corner on the left side, Li Yue and Kobe Bryant were separated from the free throw line on the left and right sides, Howard stood on the left sideline, all the audience stood up and watched, even the security personnel frequently turned their heads to check .

Howard finally passed the ball, the referee whistled immediately, and the 5-second countdown started.

Clark ran to the left across the paint, and Nash started at the same time, used the screen to get rid of Chalmers, and strode to the free throw line.

Li Yue and Kobe put up a wall together as a cover, leaving only one person to pass through, and Nash dodged through.

But this tactic has been used twice against the Spurs before, and the Heat have studied it in detail. Chalmers did not bypass the screen to catch up, but cut the left free throw line obliquely, trying to directly cut off the passing route.

Nash could only continue to run towards the center line, the 5-second countdown was running out, and Wade was chasing him close.

In the blink of an eye, Kobe ran to the right sideline, shouting for a pass.

Howard hurriedly made a long pass, but the plan changed, the incident happened hastily, the preparation was insufficient, and the basketball flew too high.

"It's over!" All the audience expressed the same worry, and the Lakers' substitutes collectively covered their faces.

But in the next second, Kobe rose from the ground, as if regaining his peak bounce, abruptly caught the basketball, leaned back in the air and moved towards the left half.

The basketball falls from top to bottom, and the last 4-second timer starts accordingly.

LeBron didn't expect to be able to save it at all!

Li Yue took the first step, took off at the exact landing point, caught the ball in the air, landed against LeBron's interference, and jumped again to shoot.

boom!The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time.

The referee gestured to indicate that the goal was valid, and the Lakers made a 112-111 lore, leading the series 3-1.

The atmosphere at the Staples Center was at its peak, and there was a trace of pain in Kobe's smile.

Li Yue pushed aside his teammates who were celebrating, and trot forward, "Are you injured?"

Kobe gritted his teeth and nodded, put his hand on Li Yue's shoulder for strength, "Just now I jumped too high and hurt my waist, I may need a stretcher."

Li Yue hurriedly waved to the team doctor, everyone realized something was wrong, and the happy atmosphere suddenly became serious.

A lore ball caused Kobe to be injured, I don't know whether it was lucky or unlucky.
