I just play ball

Chapter 209
[-]:[-] p.m., Staples Center, TNT commentary booth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this station will soon bring you the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks. I am Marvin Abbott, and I will work with my two partners to comment. I hope you enjoy watching."

"Hi, I'm Reggie Miller."

"Good evening, everyone, I'm Isaiah Thomas."

"OK, the two teams are fighting back to back in this game. The Lakers just defeated the Spurs last night, and the Eagles flew over from Atlanta overnight. They will be severely challenged physically. What do you think will affect the game?"

"The Lakers are more difficult to play, mainly because Nash is too old and has minor injuries on his body. This kind of high-intensity continuous combat will be more dangerous for him. Pau Gasol also has the same trouble. Al Horford is not in good shape, and they may need rookie center Rudy Gobert to support most of the time, otherwise they will not be able to stop Al Horford."

"Reggie mentioned Horford's point, and I agree. That is the biggest advantage of the Eagles. The Lakers must find a way to limit it, otherwise they will get a lot of points and rebounds inside."

"What do you two think about the Hawks trusting head coach Mike Budenholzer?"

"He had worked in the Spurs for 17 years before. He was promoted from Popovich's ordinary assistant to the chief assistant. He played a vital role in the construction of the Spurs' tactical system. It can be seen from the Hawks' victory over the Raptors last night. He has established a tactical system in a short period of time, is good at analyzing players and team play, and is very likely to attack the Lakers' disadvantages."

"Actually, he suggested that the Spurs exchange George Hill for Kawhi Leonard. He has a very deep understanding of player abilities. I hope he can think of ways to limit Li Yue."

"OK, the starting players of the two teams are ready..."

……

On the field, Li Yue stood with his hands on his hips under the center circle, looking around at the Eagles.

Center Al Horford is at his peak. Although he averaged only 17.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game last season, the data seems mediocre, but there are still 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals that cannot be ignored. Judging from the previous video research, he The role of Duncan in the Hawks is almost the same as that of Duncan in the Spurs. He is the axis of offense and the gate of defense. If you watch too few games, you may think that he is an ordinary player. He is not qualified to be an All-Star in his third year as a rookie. substitute.

Power forward Millsap is also a difficult role. The offensive end can be inside or outside. He has a strong body and delicate skills to support him in post-up singles in the interior, and he also has a soft touch to support him. The 28 seconds and 11 points recorded in history relied on three consecutive three-pointers and a tip-up.

Small forward DeMar Carroll is average, only defense is okay, but with sharpshooter Korver on the flank, the lethality of the two has doubled. Fortunately, teaming up with Iguodala can limit it.

Point guard Jeff Teague, although he is only a qualified starting point guard, has strong physical fitness and has a much greater impact on Nash than Parker. The defensive end needs to spend energy to help defend.

After thinking about it, the referee walked to the middle circle with the ball, raised his hand to gesture for the two people who participated in the jump ball, and then lightly tossed it upwards.

Gasol jumped up and touched the ball first with his height advantage, but Horford came from behind and pushed the ball to the Hawks' half court with his strong hitting power. Teague trotted forward to pick it up in his hand and slowly moved forward.

The audience shouted for defense in unison, Li Yue stepped back quickly, followed Demar to the right wing and stood still.

Teague took the ball to the front court, passed it to Horford at the top of the arc, and rushed to the right wing. DeMar stepped forward to cover.Li Yue followed closely and was about to go around and catch up, when the opponent suddenly stopped and used Teague to cover and cut inside.

Li Yue was delayed and failed to catch up immediately. Horford instantly lobbed a pass to the inside, and Demar raised his hand to catch the ball.

Seeing that Gasol wanted to step forward to defend, Li Yue hurriedly waved and shouted: "Don't, let him shoot."

While talking, he bypassed the cover and rushed up, just because he was sure that the opponent had a poor mid-range shot and might hesitate.

Sure enough, after hesitating for half a second, Demar jumped up and made a shot under the urging of his teammates. He happened to catch up with him and jumped high to interfere.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Gasol grabbed the rebound and passed it to him on the ground. The audience stood up and shouted LETS GO LA.

Li Yue pushed forward with the ball slowly, wondering how to complete Nike's 50+ consecutive challenges.

The last game was crazy scoring, and it is more difficult to continue to use it this time. First of all, there is the Spurs case first, and Budenholzer is so familiar with Popovich, so he must be prepared. To be honest, the previous few times If the efficiency is low, it will easily cause the team to fall behind. Secondly, the physical exertion will be very serious.

After making up his mind, Li Yue stopped to observe the ball on the left wing for a moment, then raised his hand and gestured, implying the implementation of the bottom line 23FLOPY tactics.

Seeing his gesture, the other four opponents immediately took their positions, and the 32 formation was established in an instant.

He passed the ball to Gasol at the top of the arc, and then kicked the ground hard, grabbed DeMar in one step, went straight to the bottom line like a sports car, rushed to the short corner on the left in more than a second, and used Landry to cover Entering the three-second zone, and Iguodala, who ran in at the same time, made an off-ball cross screen, smoothed the short corner on the right, and then used Nash to position the screen, and finally came to the right elbow.

Gasol immediately passed the ball, and he took advantage of the situation to look up at the basket, making a look like he was about to shoot.

Teague, who was switching defenses, and DeMar, who was chasing, jumped up and raised their hands at the same time, like a big net falling from the sky.

He stopped his movements easily, and waited until the two of them fell, before he really took off with all his strength, and gracefully leaned back to make a mid-range shot.

The basketball went into the net, but unfortunately the referee did not call a foul, and the audience shouted black whistle in unison.

The Eagles attacked, Teague took the ball to the top of the arc, and made several consecutive cover runs, and the basketball fell into the hands of Horford on the left waist.

Gasol put one hand on his waist and leaned forward slightly, but he didn't exert any force, obviously to prevent turning around.

Unexpectedly, Horford slammed the ball vigorously, turned around backwards, and made a mid-range shot against the flying lunge.

The action was clean and neat, the basketball crashed into the net, and the Eagles tied the score.

The Lakers attacked again, and Li Yue fell to the right wing.

When Nash dribbled the ball across the center line, he stepped forward to take over the pass and moved in the direction of the top of the arc.

Just when everyone thought he was going to attack with the ball, he suddenly stopped and threw the ball to the right corner. With the help of Landry's cover, Nash rushed there to catch the ball steadily, bent over to meet Millsap, and went straight to the corner. Going away from the basket, the Eagles will rush to the inside to shrink and intercept.

Li Yue was familiar with Nash's routine, so he stood still and did not move, but bowed slightly.

As expected, Nash passed the ball in the three-man pinch, he received it, and took advantage of the situation to make a three-pointer.

The basketball crashed into the net and he scored five points in a row.

"With his high efficiency, is he going to set a new high tonight?" Marvin said, "But he seems to have no tendency to play singles with the ball for the time being."

"Playing alone all the time is tiring and exhausting," Miller said. "He wants a change."

"I think..." Thomas smiled mysteriously, "He wants to save his energy to beat the Bobcats and perform a scoring frenzy for Jordan."
