I just play ball

Chapter 216 History Third Active Duty First
Perhaps because the owner Michael Jordan left the field temporarily, the Bobcats became ashamed and courageous. Not only did they not get beaten by a wave, but they took the game more seriously, as if they were about to be sent to Africa after the game. Everyone tried their best.

Li Yue played the first quarter. After the start of the second quarter, he wanted to rest for a while, but in just 2 minutes, there were bursts of calls for him to play in the arena. Kobe and other teammates also agreed to work harder. The opportunity to record is at hand.

He rotated in free throws, and the Bobcats just cut the point difference to 5 and regained hope of winning.

Taylor still couldn't prevent him from easily changing direction and breaking through, but he intentionally created physical contact, and he did not hesitate to foul to increase the consumption of his body, while Al and Josh on the inside, as long as they caught the opportunity, they would hit hard, trying to destroy his shooting touch. .

After learning about the Bobcats' defensive strategy, he began to cooperate more with Iguodala in the pick-and-roll, but the Bobcats did not hesitate to pinch and delay every time. They would rather let Iguodala go down and prevent him from rushing into the paint. The only difference is that he didn't use one-star four-link tactics or two-star three-link tactics like the Spurs, which caused his scoring efficiency to drop significantly.

Even so, after halftime, he also scored 51 points, which is only half a step away from the two 60+ points in the same season.

The Lakers had a slight lead, but the whole team returned to the locker room at halftime. There was only one topic of discussion, and that was how to help him get the ball better in the second half. Nash and other teammates offered their suggestions.

Thackeray joked about arranging four people around him to bring the ball forward, and then let him make a three-pointer or a two-pointer. The Bobcats were completely defenseless, and the whole team laughed.

Li Yue emphasized that winning should be the primary goal, because the competition in the Western Conference is fierce. The Clippers and Thunder have also won two consecutive victories. The same is true for the Eastern Heat. The work of competing for home court advantage must be implemented from the beginning of the season.

After the team's discussion, he received a call from Taylor, saying that Nike had just sent a notice that the huge poster hanging project had officially started, and the first batch of posters would be placed directly in three locations, namely the Avenue of Stars, Venice Beach, and Chinatown.

He simply replied that he knew, and then returned to the court early to warm up by shooting as usual.

In the third quarter of the game, the Bobcats' defensive strategy remained the same, and he still scored 14 points, a total of 65 points in the three quarters.

Corbett deliberately stood on the sidelines and waited, and took a photo with him at the first time, and the arena burst into cheers.

The high-intensity defense and long-term play made Li Yue exhausted. In order to ensure that he had better physical strength to win the game and score more points, he did not appear on the field immediately after the end of the intermission, but closed his eyes and rested. After a full rest, Walker broke through and scored 2+1, and the Bobcats caught up to 96 to 97 before raising their hands to request to play.

"No. 23 Li Yue came on stage, replacing No. 0 Nick Young." The DJ announced excitedly, and cheers resounded through the arena instantly.

Li Yue stood on the edge of the three-second zone with a smile, looked specifically at Walker who was holding the ball, and then bowed slightly to prepare for a position.

boom!The basketball smashed the basket and hit the iron. At this time, there were 6 minutes and 41 seconds left before the end of the game.

Gasol immediately stuck Al with his back and spread his left hand to delay Josh. Li Yue took a big step to take advantage of the jump, grabbed the rebound, turned around to observe when he landed, and found that Blake was far away, and there was someone blocking him, so he simply dribbled the ball forward .

He walked to the frontcourt and shifted to the right with the help of Landry's cover. Seeing that Josh's switch defense was delayed, he decisively hit the ground and passed the ball to the elbow.Gasol received the hand, raised his hands high and feinted a shot. When Josh returned to the defense, he chose to pass back very tacitly.

Li Yue took the ball again, stepped up and walked to the sideline, saw Al moved laterally to intercept, and then hit the ball to the elbow again.

Gasol received the ball and was unguarded, Josh hurried forward to make up for it, but Landry was emptied again, Gerrard in the left corner rushed to make up for it, seemingly one after another, never thought Gasol threw the ball directly to Iguodala.

The wide-open three-pointer went into the air in an instant, but it was a pity that the money hit the basket and hit the iron, and it just rebounded into Al's hands, and the Bobcats launched a counterattack.

"I feel that Iguodala's shot is a bit reluctant." Jimmy frowned slightly, "It's not disturbed, but lack of passion."

"He has always been like this. Although his physical fitness is only inferior to LeBron James, and he has rich technical scoring methods, his offensive desire is as low as that of a role player." Worthy shrugged, "According to statistics, he played for the 76ers. , as the core of the team, there was a time when he averaged only seven to eight shots per game."

"That's very good for the Lakers." Jimmy said, "With Li Yue in charge of scoring, he can focus on defense and support, just like he was responsible for Kobe Bryant's bodyguard in the World Cup, a perfect fit."

On the field, Gerrard broke through and scored, and the Bobcats completed a 98-97 lead.

Walker eagerly wanted to come up to double-team, but he was afraid that he would split the ball and assist Blake. three points.

He pushed it to the elbow area in a blink of an eye, and was thinking about how to complete the attack. Suddenly, he felt that Roberts was pushing hard, and immediately turned back and pulled out. Can only watch.

"Okay, very good!" Worthy rubbed his hands excitedly, "There are 4 minutes and 21 seconds left, and he has a chance to tie Kobe with 81 points."

"The Bobcats might learn from the Spurs." Jimmy joked, "Maybe Michael has ordered to stop him from scoring."

On the court, Walker dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to Josh who rushed to the elbow with the screen, and the latter immediately grounded and passed again.Al received the ball from a low post, turned around to face the frame, and raised his hand to pass back to Josh, who was cutting inside.

Landry raised his hand to signal that he made a mistake, shook his head and laughed at himself for failing to guard even the simplest pass.

The Lakers attacked, Li Yue took the ball to the frontcourt, and was about to find a cover to break through. Clifford, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his hand and shouted.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue smiled at the corner of his mouth, dribbled the ball with his left hand without covering, and rushed directly to the inside line. As soon as he rushed to the left elbow, Walker moved laterally to block, and joined forces with Roberts to pinch. Al also adjusted his face to prepare to block.

He speeds up the brakes and throws the ball over his head with his left hand. Blake catches the ball and doesn't shoot it right away, but wants to pass it back.

He hurriedly waved his hand to remind Blake, who hesitated for a moment, and took off from the spot to shoot.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

There was a long sigh at the scene, Al grabbed a defensive rebound, and Walker caught the ball and moved forward.

"OH, NO!" Worthy shook his head again and again, "The whole team wants to help Li Yue break the scoring record, and now it affects the overall offense a bit. I think Coach D'Antoni should ask for a timeout and make adjustments in time."

"I think so." Jimmy smiled, "Li Yue should stop passing the ball. He has a mediocre hand during this time, but the results of the others are similar. Let's continue to shoot despite the double-team."

On the field, Walker tried to break through the sideline many times but failed, and faced a flanking attack and threw the ball to the elbow.

Al received the ball, took a step forward, and made a wide-open shot with two points.

"There are 2 minutes and 13 seconds left, I want to watch the lore!" Jimmy said excitedly, "Every audience, you are about to witness history."

On the court, Li Yue held the ball at the top of the arc. Seeing that the Bobcats were still using one-to-one quadruples, they immediately raised their hands and called for a screen.

Gasol lifted the frame wall, Li Yue took the opportunity to walk to the sideline with all his strength, took Al and Roberts straight to the bottom corner, and was about to speed up and rush forward, when his feet were suddenly tripped, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell directly to the ground, and hurriedly hit the ground pass ball.
