I just play ball

Chapter 16 General Restrictions
on the field.

Realizing that he was too late to catch up, Li Yue immediately shouted: Delay!

Gasol heard the words and stepped forward, Durant just received a pass from Fisher, and the two almost touched each other.

Durant retreated a little, Li Yue rushed forward to press down, and instantly formed a small-scale double-team with Gasol.

He never thought about stealing the ball, he just wanted to force Durant out of the ball.

As long as the ball is not in Durant's hands, it is equivalent to the Thunder making a weapon that has been strengthened by +15, and it is guaranteed to make a profit.But even if the two interfered together, Durant still twisted his body, stepped back and forth with his left foot as the axis, and tried his best to find a chance to break through, until he almost walked, and then reluctantly threw the ball out.

Gasol moved directly to the left as if he was positioned.

Collison received the pass and made a breakthrough to the left. Unfortunately, his dribbling skills were so mediocre that he almost hit his leg.

Upon seeing this, Durant dodged an air cut from the middle.

With his back to his body, Li Yue pursued closely. He could not only ensure that he could continue to perceive Durant's direction of travel, but also continue to observe how Collison moved.

The two rushed into the three-second zone, and Collison threw the ball high, but due to Gasol's wingspan, it was a bit ridiculously high.

Durant jumped up with a roar, and Li Yue also jumped up. The basketball flew past the hands of the two and fell directly out of bounds.

The referee whistled to signal the Lakers possession of the ball, and the fans cheered and applauded.

Howard, who was full of frustration before, suddenly seemed to be a different person, running to the bottom line with a smile on his face and excitedly.

After receiving the referee's pass, he waved at Blake again, indicating that it would be safer to change his position, and his initiative level exploded.

Blake did so with a confused face, and quickly took the pass to the forward field.

The Lakers fell into a V-shaped formation again, and Howard actually took the initiative to step up to cover, and it was a perfect fit.

Fisher seemed to hit a wall, and by the time it was all over, Blake was already at the free-throw line.

Seeing this situation, Perkins switched defenses to intercept, Howard took the opportunity to cut to the basket, Collison gave up Gasol to pursue and intercept, and Durant trotted forward to make up the defense.

After this series of chain reactions, Li Yue was released again.

Seeing that there were too many people at the basket, he bowed and accelerated, striding long distances, rushing from the bottom corner to the top of the arc in two seconds.

Blake seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and immediately turned around and threw the ball out.

Li Yue received it and was about to take off and shoot, but Durant bypassed Gasol and rushed up.

He did everything he could and threw the ball towards the hoop.

With a bang, Howard emptied the back button!
28 is better than 30!

There are 17 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

...

The Thunder attacked, Durant received the ball early in the backcourt, and slowly brought it forward.

After crossing the center line, he raised his hand to signal the whole team to move away, and then stopped in place to control the ball, making it clear that he was going to be singled out.

The fans at the scene booed immediately upon seeing this, and Li Yue bowed and squatted, putting his hands on his knees and waiting.

Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye there were only the last 6 seconds left. Durant leaned forward with his upper body and pushed the ball with his right hand to break through.

Li Yue retreated quickly, keeping his eyes on the basketball, counting down in his heart.

The two came to the free throw line in an instant, and Durant was about to receive the ball when Li Yue made a sudden move.

Snapped!The sound of the slap on the arm was extremely loud.

The referee blew his whistle, called Li Yue for an ordinary foul, and indicated that the number of free throws was not enough, and the Thunder got a chance for a sideline kick.

The fans cheered immediately, with only 4.2 seconds left, the chance of the Thunder scoring is even smaller.

Taking advantage of the referee's preparation time, Li Yue grabbed Blake and whispered in his ear.

Soon, Perkins stood on the right center line, and other Thunder players lined up at the free throw line.

The referee whistled, Durant used Collison to rush to the top of the arc, Fisher rushed to the bottom line, and Sefolosha rushed to the right wing.

Three people in three directions, all very fast.

Kobe and Blake chased after each other, Li Yue was blocked in place, and Gasol was too slow to catch up.

Seeing that Durant was about to catch the ball smoothly, the fans sighed in disappointment.

In desperation, Kobe diverted to the top of the arc, and Perkins immediately threw the ball to the right wing.

Sefolosha received the ball easily, turned around and took off.

boom!Li Yue fell from the sky like Batman, and his big hat overturned Sefoloza.

The basketball rolls out of bounds, the linesman blows his whistle, and the Lakers claim the ball.

The sighs in the arena disappeared instantly, and cheers came and went.

Blake and Howard rushed to Li Yue's side, clapping excitedly to celebrate.

Perkins jumped anxiously and repeatedly gestured to the referee, emphasizing that the basketball was touched by Li Yue and went out of bounds.

Sefolosha also got up to reason, and Thunder coach Scott Brooks asked to watch the video.

The three referees agreed after a brief exchange, and the whole process of Li Yue's blocking shot appeared on the central big screen.

The video clearly shows that the moment Kobe rushed to the top of the arc, Li Yue had already taken a step to the right wing, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding in communication.

After repeated switching from multiple angles, the referee finally confirmed that the basketball was in Sefoloza's hands before it went out of bounds.

The result of the penalty remains unchanged, and the Lakers have the ball in the last 3.9 seconds of the first quarter.

D'Antoni and the coaching staff discussed together and did not request a timeout. The Lakers served in the backcourt.

After getting this decision, Li Yue immediately looked at Kobe, and Kobe happened to look at him.

The two made eye contact, Li Yue took the initiative to stand outside the bottom line, and Kobe called other teammates to disperse their positions in the three-point line area.

With the whistle of the referee, Bryant rushed forward with the cover of Howard and Gasol.

Sefoloza and Collison chased after him, but the basketball flew towards Blake like a cannonball.

Li Yue perfectly controlled the strength and angle, and the basketball fell into Blake's hands as if equipped with GPS positioning.

Fisher wanted to catch up, but his speed was too slow. After a few steps, he could only watch Blake flick away.

In just 2.4 seconds, Blake rushed from the three-point line of the backcourt to the three-point line of the frontcourt, stopped and braked suddenly, and chased and shot.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net!

At the same time, the whistle sounded for the end of the first quarter.

The Lakers overtook 31 to 30!

The fans at the scene gave a standing ovation.

Durant walked toward the Thunder bench with a grimace on his face.

...

ESPN commentary seats.

Brin asked with a smile: "How? You should change your mind this time, right? Li Yue's offensive and defensive effects are far greater than Ron Artest's, especially KD's defense, whether with the ball or without the ball, he always maintains a high level. .”

Jaylen Rose shrugged: "That's because Russell and Ibaka are resting off the court, and the Lakers double-teamed so arrogantly..."

"Then let's see what happens next, and I'm very much looking forward to what you will say when the time comes."
