I just play ball

Chapter 19 System Players
Hearing this, Li Yue felt elated, and most of his fatigue disappeared in an instant.

D'Antoni's attitude towards him, from the last moment of the last overtime game, when he really had no choice but to give a little playing time to try, to this time he took the initiative to use words to encourage him, hoping that he would help the team win the game. Really fragrant scene.

Li Yue knew that this change was due to his outstanding performance.So far in the game, he has scored a quasi-triple double of 15 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds.And in the case of the main defense against Durant, the gold content is very high.

The key point is that he has also clearly solved the problem of the Lakers' weak flank defense. If he can continue to maintain this excellent performance, for D'Antoni, he will suddenly pick up a huge sum of money while walking on the road when he is short of money for medical treatment.

Thinking of this, Li Yue replied: "Of course I have confidence, what do I need to do?"

"Continue to implement the strategy you proposed, limit Durant by focusing on marking and double-teaming, and let the Thunder team shoot three-pointers under severe physical exhaustion. That is the key to our victory. Let us win this game together .”

After D'Antoni finished speaking, he raised his right hand high, and everyone jumped up one after another, counting down in unison to cheer.

The fans at the scene cheered after seeing this, the DJ changed the music again, and Queen's "We Are the Champions" suddenly sounded.

...

As the singing stops, the game continues.

The Lakers attacked first, and the V-shaped formation fell.

Li Yue controlled the ball at the top of the arc, faced Westbrook's defense, and used Gasol's cover to break through to his left elbow.

Ibaka stepped forward to change the defense delay, Westbrook squeezed from behind to cover the double-team, Perkins stepped forward to the basket to shrink, the three of them put on a posture to eat Li Yue alive, Gasol and Howard couldn't help busy.

Just when the fans were nervous, Li Yue stopped the brakes suddenly, raised the basketball with his left hand, and threw it to Gasol from above his head.

After taking the ball, Li Yue used Ibaka's 'cover' to get rid of Westbrook's pursuit, and rushed to the basket with one step.

Meanwhile, Howard moved to the basket, with Perkins on his back and reaching for the ball.

In about two seconds, Li Yue came from behind Perkins and along the baseline to the short corner on the right.

Westbrook was blocked by Ibaka and Howard, falling behind by a full three positions.

Gasol immediately passed the ball, Li Yue jumped up to catch it, and pushed it gently toward the basket.

bass!Hollow into the net.

The Lakers lead 110-107.

Perkins grabs the ball, steps back out of bounds, and quickly sends it to Westbrook.

Kobe went up immediately, Artest ran to Sefolosha, and Li Yue entangled Durant.

The fast break failed, and the Thunder landed in the frontcourt.

Westbrook controlled the ball at the top of the arc, seeing Durant on the left wing, wanting to give the ball.

Li Yue went around to block, and Sefolosa stepped up to cover.

As soon as Durant got rid of it, Artest was already close to face to face, without giving the slightest space to catch the ball, he just wished he could hug him tightly.

But Sefrosa suddenly ran back, Westbrook made a strong long pass at the same time, and Li Yue hurriedly retreated and switched defenses.

How could the running speed catch up with the flying speed, the basketball was two steps ahead and fell into the hands of Sefolosha, who took advantage of the situation and made a three-pointer.

With two bangs and back and forth into the net, the Thunder tied.

Seeing this, Li Yue turned around and went down quickly. Gasol directly made a long pass to the center line, and Durant chased after him.The front and rear feet of the two arrived at the basketball landing point, and Li Yue touched it first, but Durant also bent down to fight for it, and his wingspan advantage almost evened out the gap in stature.

Who would have thought that Li Yue didn't catch the ball directly, but instead slapped forward, and the basketball was forced to jump forward again.

At this time, the momentum of the two of them had been temporarily exhausted, but Li Yue was prepared to seize the opportunity in his heart, and immediately started to rush.

Snapped!Li Yue successfully caught the ball in his hand and was about to push it forward when the fans screamed suddenly.

Li Yue felt the sound, and subconsciously pulled the ball in front of his body to change hands, and Westbrook just passed by behind him.

But before it had time to rejoice, the fans screamed again.

This time, Li Yue took his time and raised it with one hand, Durant missed again.

Kobe responded in the middle, took the ball to the top of the arc, passed it back to Li Yue, and ran to the left sideline.

The Lakers settled in a V-shaped formation, Li Yue waved at Howard, and the two cooperated in pick-and-roll.

Perkins stayed at the free throw line and did not switch defenses. Li Yue held Westbrook with his back and dribbled the ball to the short corner on the right by walking.

At the same time, Howard opened and went down, but stopped as soon as he reached the free throw line, and formed a gate with Gasol. When Kobe passed through, the two immediately closed the gate to block the chasing Sefolosha and delayed Ibaka's defense .

Seeing Kobe rushing to his right elbow, Li Yue immediately gave the ball.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, Kobe made a mid-range shot, and the Lakers led 112 to 110.

When the Thunder changed sides to attack, Li Yue and Artest repeated the previous steps, completely denying Durant a chance to catch the ball.

Kobe blocked the pass from the left to the right, and Westbrook turned to Ibaka to play the pick-and-roll, but Gasol, like Perkins, did not let go.In desperation, Westbrook asked Perkins to cover again, but Howard didn't come up to change defense.

With such disregard, Westbrook showed anger and immediately shot a three-pointer.

when!The basketball hit the iron and Gasol grabbed the rebound.

Li Yue took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately played a pick-and-roll with Howard.

Perkins suffered a loss before, but this time he chose to step forward and delay, and Howard took the opportunity to make a big stride and make an empty cut.

Ibaka quickly shrinks to the basket, and Li Yue decisively throws the ball to the left elbow.

Gasol received the basketball, raised his hand to aim at the basket, and Sefoloza slid and swooped.

But Gasol dodged and passed the ball to the left sideline, and Kobe caught the ball and shot it firmly.

With a three-pointer, the Lakers led 115 to 110, and the Thunder requested a timeout.

ESPN commentary seats.

Jaylen Rose shook his head again and again: "The Thunder are really disappointing. No one stood up and scored at the last moment."

Brin chuckled: "I think the real reason is that the Lakers' defense is too good, and the Thunder has too many shortcomings."

Jaylen Rose sighed: "But the Thunder still have a chance. They have the experience of chasing 8 points in a short period of time in the third quarter."

...

The timeout ends, and the Thunder play the frontcourt.

Ibaka stood on the right sideline, and the other four stood in a line at the top of the arc.

The referee whistled, Westbrook rushed to the right sideline, Perkins walked towards the basket, Sefolosha and Durant stopped in place.

Westbrook received the pass smoothly, Durant suddenly started, and ran to the midfield with the help of Sefolosha.

Li Yue hurried to catch up, but after Durant received the ball, the Thunder team scattered.

This attack is quite critical, and the defense basically sealed the victory, and the fans booed frantically.

Durant bowed and dribbled the ball forward, Li Yue bent his knees and squatted halfway, retreated all the way, and quickly retreated to the top of the arc.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Kobe on the left, and without waiting for Durant to make a move, Li Yue blocked the right and put the left.

Durant broke through to the left immediately, and Kobe saw this and moved laterally, ready to double-team at any time.

Durant continued to rush, but as soon as he reached his left elbow, he immediately threw the ball to the left corner.

Westbrook received the ball, unguarded, and an open three-pointer.

The fans at the scene were so nervous that they held their breath!
when!Shots hit the iron.

The fans at the scene cheered loudly, but Ibaka grabbed an offensive rebound and landed with strength.

Snapped!Howard pressed the basketball with his cap, and Ibaka fell to the ground.

The basketball hit the floor and rebounded, and Li Yue and Durant stepped forward to fight for it.

At this time, Li Yue's height disadvantage turned into an advantage. He relied on his center of gravity to lower his waist and quickly grab the ball in his hands.

Westbrook and Perkins rushed forward to block the game in an instant, Li Yue called for a timeout, and the referee blew his whistle.

At the same time, the big central screen showed that Li Yue got a triple-double with 17 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds.

...

ESPN commentary seats.

Brin said with a smile: "What do you think of Li Yue's triple-double? At the same time, he has the highest efficiency of the team."

Jaylen Rose was disdainful: "I have to say that he is an excellent system player. Leaving assists aside, look at his goals, either using a cover for an empty layup or an open shot, and these are all From Kobe's sacrifice."

Brin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You mean he lacks the ability to attack independently?"

Jalen Rose shrugged: "Obviously."

...

The timeout ends, the game continues, and the Lakers attack.

Kobe received the ball from the right sideline, took it to the top of the arc and passed it to Li Yue, and strode to the left sideline.

Facing Sefoloza's defense, Li Yue used his left foot as the axis, posing a three-threat posture, and did not step forward to try, because he was not in a hurry at all. The Lakers led by 5 points. The best strategy is to consume more time.

The fans stood up and cheered. When the attack time was only 6 seconds left, Li Yueshun stepped down the ball and made a breakthrough.

Sefolosha moved sideways to intercept, but Li Yue suddenly pulled the ball and retreated out of the three-point line, bent his knees and feet, and pulled out his hand.

boom!The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net, and the Lakers led 118 to 110.

With only 46 seconds left before the end of the game, the Thunder did not request a timeout, and Coach Brooks signaled to grab one.

I thought, Westbrook caught the ball in the backcourt and ran wildly, rushed to the frontcourt to defend Kobe's defense and make a strong three-pointer!

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and with a bang, it hit the basket and hit the iron.

Kobe grabs the rebound and makes a long pass.

Howard, who just ran to the center line, received the basketball, dribbled it to the basket with a smile, and hit the board to score.

The Thunder completely lost hope of winning.

...

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 122 to 112.

Li Yue took the initiative to find Durant, and the two bumped shoulders to greet each other, and then he found Westbrook to give him a high-five.

Sefolosha, Collison, Ibaka and other Thunder players, he also nodded one by one.

When everything was done, the ESPN reporter hurriedly grabbed him to ask questions.

"You scored 20 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds tonight, how do you feel?"

"It's hard to describe, but Jaylen Rose is as depressed as I am right now."
