I just play ball

Chapter 158

That's almost a statement that we the Lakers need you badly, and the implication is strong enough that a fool can understand it.

Iguodala smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't answer the words, so he let go and walked to the bench, as if he didn't hear it.Li Yue suppressed his excitement and chose to follow the trend. After all, too aggressive an attack might backfire.

Everyone in the white team gathered around Baron Davis, and Li Yue said first, "How is it, is it better?"

Wall nodded again and again: "It was a false alarm, just take a short rest, you continue to fight first."

Li Yue also nodded in response, and Davis clapped his hands when he saw this: "We performed well in the first quarter and currently lead by five points. The black team will definitely strengthen their offensive next, so we need to increase our defensive strength at the start of the second quarter , disrupt their various arrangements with all their strength, try to suppress them from being able to gain momentum, and then fight with them later..."

Li Yue wanted to scratch his head when he heard it. Davis talked so much, like hitting a fly with a badminton racket - he didn't catch a single point, because everyone knew that the black team was about to step up their offensive, and Davis The countermeasures proposed are tantamount to nonsense.

But it's normal to think about it. Although Davis is known as a point guard, he has relied on his body to play throughout his career. Even if he has had major knee surgery, he has to dunk Kirilenko. Technology is a bit overwhelming.

"What do you think?" Davis inadvertently licked his lips with expectant eyes.

McGee and others have different attitudes, either agreeing, or only agreeing, or being forced to agree.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue took up the conversation after a little thought.

"I have three suggestions. First, apart from CP3, the black team also has James Harden as an offensive engine, so the perimeter defense cannot double-team; second, except for center Andrew Jordan, everyone else on the black team has excellent mid-range shooting ability. We need to delay our inside line in time to avoid leaving them too much shot space; third, the black team strikers Durant and DeRozan's three-pointers are not so strong, and we can properly set aside two steps when defending to lure them Increase the number of three-point attempts."

As soon as the words fell, McGee took the lead in applauding: "Well said, I agree with this kind of defense. The plan is very specific."

Li Yue was happy in his heart, he was not talking nonsense, each point had a basis, and could stand up to scrutiny.

Because he studied the opponent's video and data in every game before, he is very clear that Harden averaged 5.8 assists per game this season, which is only 0.3 times less than the Rockets' genuine point guard Jeremy Lin. His organizational ability must not be underestimated.

In addition, Harden, Paul, and Durant are all mid-range shooting masters, and DeRozan is known as Kobe Bryant, but DeRozan's three-pointers this season are less than 30%. Although Durant's three-pointers Has a shooting rate close to 40%, but only takes 4.1 shots per game. It is not the main offensive method. It can be used to lure when taking the ball from the outside.

"I also agree with the three-point plan." Nick Young continued, "If they defend like this, they will be difficult to play."

"Me too." Iguodala nodded, "It's better to take the initiative to master the rhythm than to react passively."

"I thought about it, and it is indeed feasible." Wall raised his head and rolled his eyes wildly, as if he was rehearsing the whole process at high frequency.

Four people in a row agreed, and Baron Davis subconsciously turned his gaze to Paul George, signaling the other party to make a decision, but Paul George just waved and interacted with the audience and seemed not to notice.

Davis didn't struggle, and clapped his hands fiercely: "Then defend like this, and kill them in one wave."

After setting the goal, everyone dispersed, but just as they moved, Davis shouted again: "Hey, what do you think the other side is doing?"

Li Yue turned his head when he heard the words, and found that Paul was holding an IPAD and sliding his finger on it quickly. From a distance, it looked like he was setting up tactics. Everyone in the black team except Harden nodded in agreement.

"They are arranging offensive tactics, and we are going to do it too!" Davis slapped his forehead, his tone slightly anxious.

"Yes, we have to do it too. The timeout is used to arrange offense and defense. We are still the same." McGee said.

"Then do it!" Wall beckoned, and everyone in the white team gathered around again, most of their eyes were directed at Li Yue.

Thinking that this is a good opportunity to perfectly demonstrate his on-the-spot ability, Li Yue did his part and started thinking quickly.

Strictly speaking, what kind of tactics a team wants to formulate depends first on what its own players are capable of and what they are good at. At the same time, they must also consider what their opponents are capable of and what they are good at. , Kobe should play off the ball, and eventually the team's record was poor, and he was forced to return to Kobe's master control mode.

But in all fairness, most of the current white team players are on par with the black team players, and some positions are even worse. For example, Nick Young and McGee are definitely not as good as DeRozan and Jordan, so you must not engage in that kind of 'you' The "one me one" big pot meal tactic must be broken into wholes and concentrated to exert the greatest power.

To do this, you have to run tactics.

But everyone is not teammates, and the main tactical systems of their teams are also different, so communication is more troublesome.Fortunately, NBA players have experienced many coaches since they were young, and they have seen hundreds of tactics. There is one kind that everyone is sure to know.

After clarifying his thoughts, Li Yue cleared his throat again.

"My personal idea is to start from the defensive ability of the black team players. Everyone must know that Harden's defense against the ball is very poor; Du Durant's legs are too long and he suffers from continuous lateral movement; DeRozan has a good defensive attitude but poor awareness. , leading to frequent mistakes in prediction, especially in pick-and-roll defense and off-ball backrunning; Jordan is excellent in all aspects, but the effect of assisting defense and supplementary defense is poor when he lacks passion. The only difficult thing to deal with is Paul, the height is the best way to break through..."

"I have almost guessed what tactical system you want to play." Wall smiled all over his face, as if he had insight into the truth of the universe.

"I know it too!" Nick Young held up his right hand, "UCLA cuts, we all know how to perfectly match our current lineup and the opponent's defensive flaws, it's a 100% match, you are too good!"

"Well, it's indeed a good idea." Iguodala nodded again and again, with a calm expression, but couldn't hide his appreciation.

"If you run, Harden won't be able to find you in a blink of an eye." Davis chuckled, putting his hand on Iguodah's shoulder, "And if we all run, we will definitely stun them directly."

"I'm very good at this." McGee shrugged, after all, the Nuggets play a similar tactical system.

Seeing that his idea was supported, Li Yue felt elated.

The UCLA air-cut tactical system, basically as long as it is an American basketball player, because the legendary coach John Wooden carried it forward through UCLA's nine championships in ten years, Jerry Sloan's pick-and-roll system, old Nelson and others' run-and-gun system, either It evolved, or it has a lot of references, and its function is similar to the great basic skill in the world of martial arts-Zama step.

While everyone was looking forward, George, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "I object!"

Everyone was stunned, and George continued: "This idea is correct from beginning to end, but I forgot to consider that the black team also has the ULCA air-cut system. They can recognize it in a few rounds. It is absolutely useless to run later. We should It depends on the situation, there is no need to fixate on a certain discussion, it is more appropriate with our ability."

After the words fell, McGee and others frowned slightly, as if they were convinced by George's theory.

Li Yue subconsciously wanted to refute. Whether a certain tactic is useful is not judged by its complexity. The ultimate goal of all stances, running positions, and screens is to create the desired result. As long as it can be achieved, the three changes are already It is the limit, no matter how much it is, it is easy to make mistakes, just like a person with Westbrook's violent physical fitness, facing a defensive player, he only needs to step up and speed up. There was a mistake.

But the truth is such a truth, but it cannot be said directly at the moment, otherwise it will cause more debates, and it will easily make Iguodala feel that his way of handling internal differences is not smart enough.

The method of voting by a show of hands that the majority over the minority is not perfect, and it is easy to cause George to have different dreams.

In just three seconds, Li Yue thought of a solution: George didn't welcome him to join at the beginning, and he seemed to deliberately delay the cover time in the middle.

"So we need to make some changes. I suggest that you should be the support at the top of the arc, as the offensive axis, and distribute the ball to everyone according to the movement situation, or rely on your singles ability with the ball to make a breakthrough. It happens that Javier is not good at this. , you are responsible for the support, it is a great threat to the black team, and it is the key to whether we can complete the attack."

Generally speaking, UCLA’s air cut starts with the five-position center forward mentioning the top of the arc to catch the ball. Li Yue’s suggestion that George should be in charge is out of sincerity, because McGee played the four-position position in tactics to make up for his lack of long-range shots. flaws, without lack of mobility.

"This is the best!" McGee clapped his hands excitedly, "We rely on you, PG."

"Yes, I think you can play foul with KD." Nick Young smiled brightly.

"Totally agree." Iguodala snapped his fingers, "They may need to arrange two people to watch you."

"I think it's OK." Davis nodded in agreement.

"I think it's okay." Wall said sincerely.

"That's it, play the UCLA air-cut tactical system." George smiled rarely.

Hearing this, Li Yue's heart slowed down, and the whistle for the end of the timeout sounded at the same time.

...

The game continues with the black team attacking.

Paul received the ball from the backcourt, brought it to the center line, and raised his hand to gesture, while the other four moved around.

Li Yue reminded loudly that all members of the white team would resolutely not switch defenses when encountering cover, and always implement the man-to-man strategy.

After some fiddling, Paul threw the ball to the right.

Li Yue turned his head and saw that Harden received the basketball and made a three-pointer against the flying Iguodala.

when!Smashing baskets and striking iron.

McGee jumped high and caught the rebound, Li Yue stepped forward to catch it, turned around and pushed forward slowly.

Walking to the top of the arc, Li Yue passed the ball to Iguodala on the left wing, and accelerated to the oncoming George.

The two played off-ball screens for each other, and Li Yue took the opportunity to get rid of Paul's pursuit and successfully came to the three-second zone, but Paul blocked the front again in the blink of an eye, blocking the route to the basket like a iron chain crossing the river.

Iguodala immediately gave up the lob pass, and instead gave the ball to George at the top of the arc, and sprinted inside by himself.

Harden chased after him, Li Yue lifted up when he saw this, and set up a human wall on the left elbow area as a positioning cover.

Iguodala rushed to the bottom line smoothly, but Li Yue stayed put.Paul was forced to switch defenses. He was at a disadvantage in height and shape, and he was unable to defend the ball from the side. George made a gesture to give it, and the audience booed and shouted in advance.

The players of the black team immediately focused on the basket, and Harden even adjusted his body orientation, preparing to go up to pick up the rebound.

Li Yue took the opportunity to run back, took two steps to the left wing, received a pass from George, and shot a wide open three-pointer.

Harden turned around and returned to the defense, and jumped in front of him in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the basketball went into the net like a sharp arrow.

"YEAH!" The audience couldn't help applauding. This kind of cooperation is too rare in the field.

Paul shook his head again and again, picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, handed it to Harden, and the black team started to attack.

Harden dribbled the ball to the right wing, shaking his hands continuously, as if ignoring the tactics and entering the rhythm of individual singles.

Paul immediately yelled, spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and showed doubts on his face, as if to say: whats your problem?
Harden resentfully gave up dribbling, turned to sinking his shoulders and lowering his waist to exert force, and forced the inside line from the left.

But he is used to bullying small guards, and he didn't respond to the stronger Iguodala this time. He was blocked as soon as he rushed to the free throw line. Point to the left edge.

The action was too obvious, George swooped out and almost completed the steal.

Durant caught the ball and swayed, and made a big breakthrough from the bottom line, but George took a shortcut and cut diagonally, leaving nowhere to go.

With only 5 seconds left in the attack time, Dulat jumped up and passed the ball towards the top of the arc, his movements were more obvious than Harden's.

McGee broke out halfway, rose from the ground and grabbed the basketball. Li Yue ran forward when he saw this. As soon as he rushed to the center line, the basketball flew over as if it was equipped with GPS positioning. After receiving it, he rushed at full speed.

Paul followed closely, and Li Yue rushed all the way to the bottom, cutting off all possible small movements, and directly gliding and snapping!
boom!The basketball exploded into the net.

The cheers of the audience were like ocean waves, wave after wave, continuously.

The black team attacked again, and Paul brought the ball to the top of the arc, beckoning for a back screen.

Little Jordan stepped forward and set up a wall to block Li Yue. Paul immediately turned his hips and changed direction, rushing in.

McGee originally stopped at the free throw line and waited. Seeing this, he stepped forward and delayed according to defensive tactics.

Paul made an emergency stop and forced a mid-range shot.

Snapped!McGee head-on big hat.

Iguodala picked up the basketball, hugged the protection with both hands, and then pushed forward.

Li Yue received the ball at the top of the arc, after a little observation, passed it to George on the right wing, started sideways, and used McGee to cover and cut inside.

Paul saw through in an instant and bypassed the cover to intercept in advance.

With an idea, Li Yue stopped and ran back, rushed to the right wing to set up a human wall, and used a side cover to block Durant.

George took advantage of the trend to dribble towards the top of the arc, and because of the double screens of Li Yue and McGee, he got a super wide open. He stopped calmly, raised his hand to aim at the basket, and made a steady three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

The white team led by 13 points, the black team requested a timeout, and cheers erupted.

Li Yue walked quickly to the bench. George caught up with him and stretched out his right hand. The two clapped their hands and bumped shoulders to celebrate. Iguodala, Nick Young, and McGee also came to join in. The atmosphere was so good that it looked like a long-term joint training team. team.

"It's perfect!" Davis bowed and applauded, "Li Yue is our lucky star."

"Yeah." Nick Yang put his shoulders on Li Yue, "Why do you want to come here to play?"

Hearing this, Li Yue was stunned for a moment, thinking that he must not say that he deliberately recruited Iguodala.

Just as he was hesitating, Davis looked in the direction of the black team and said, "What's the situation with them? Are you coming hard?"

Li Yue turned his head when he heard this, and saw LeBron take off his outer shirt and put on a black T-shirt.

"Don't be afraid! Send back the original words, even if LeBron joins, we will still be smashed!" Nick Young laughed.
