I just play ball

Chapter 223 The good show is yet to come
Mike said with a smile: "You are so excited, is it because you recall yourself back then, white people can fly?"

Barry nodded, "It does remind me of a memory. I scored 98 points in that dunk, and he scored 99 points just now."

On the court, Calderon came to the right wing. With Dirk's side cover, he twisted his hips and pulled the ball towards the top of the arc. Blake retreated and tried to bypass the screen to catch up. Unexpectedly, Calderon suddenly stopped his movement and strode towards the baseline direction dribble.

Blake was deceived and wanted to catch up, but it was still too late, Gasol quickly moved laterally and delayed, but as a big veteran, he was at a disadvantage with Calderon's speed, and was completely thrown away after two steps.

Seeing this, Li Yue shrank directly to the basket, and at the same time shouted loudly from the outside: "Rotate to make up..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meeks slanted into the left corner from the top of the arc, Blake moved clockwise, and Hill squatted on the spot, cutting off the space between the bottom line and the top of the arc in advance. It takes one second to complete the rotation.

Calderon just rushed to the basket at this time, a hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then walked left along the baseline.Li Yue ran after him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Marion approaching him, clearly for positioning cover.

"Switch defense." Li Yue made a decision in the blink of an eye. Meeks' defense was mediocre, and Calderon was not a master at playing the ball in a small area like Irving and Paul.

If he bypasses the screen to catch up, if he misses it, it will be a pass to assist Marion to score a layup.

Calderon stopped for a while and moved the ball out. Ellis rushed to the left elbow, took over the pass, and immediately made a mid-range shot. The action was too fast, and Blake had no time to take off and interfere.

The basketball hit the circle and entered the net, and the Mavericks scored another 2 points.

"YES!" Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who was sitting behind the rack, stood up and clenched his fists, with a little pride in his eyes, as if he bought a high-value product at a low price, and nodded to the audience around him to express his admiration .

Li Yue turned around and retreated just in time to see this scene. He guessed in his heart that Cuban probably thought Ellis was really the second shooting guard in the West. After all, the shot just now was really beautiful.

He ran straight to the right wing and stood still, thinking about how to deal with the next attack.

In just a moment, Blake brought the ball to the frontcourt. He took the basketball and raised his hands high. He still lobbed a pass to the waist, allowing Gasol to hit Dirk with his back for the third time. However, he himself did not move to the top of the arc. It is to go off the assembly line and hit the three-second zone.

He ran head-on with Dame, causing delays invisibly. Gasol lost the threat of double-teaming.

The basketball hit the circle and entered the net, and the two teams drew 4-4.

The Mavericks attack, Calderon advances with the ball, and when he walks to the left wing, he suddenly sinks his shoulders and accelerates.

Li Yue was standing on the left wing. Seeing this situation, he felt puzzled. The Mavericks are the kind of team that requires to play according to the tactical arrangement in almost every round. Calderon is not a person with unruly personality. Why such a sudden move?

While thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of Hill entering the three-second zone early from the corner of his eye. Daim had just stepped into the three-point line. The most important thing was that Blake was passed in one step, just like the main road at 4 o'clock in the morning. Incredibly wide.

Calderon made a smooth pass to the basket, faced Hill's defense, and passed the ball with an emergency stop. Daim, who followed up in the middle, received the pass, took advantage of the situation and took off with one foot. Against Gasol's interference from the side, he shot directly at the ring Small cast.

The basketball hit the basket and fell to the right. No one interfered with Calderon.

"Go back and find someone." Li Yue shouted loudly to remind his teammates. At this time, the Lakers had three players crowded in the three-second zone, and the arc top and two wings were undefended.

But at the same time as he shouted, Calderon vigorously passed the ball out, Dirk received it at 45 degrees from the right side, took advantage of the situation and broke through to the top of the arc. .

Hill switched defenses and was delayed, Dirk immediately threw the ball towards the basket, and after the screen, he dismantled and went down to catch the ball. He also easily got rid of Gasol and made a solid layup to score two points.

Cheers sounded in the arena, Li Yue turned and ran to the front court, just in time to see Rick Carlisle pacing leisurely on the technical stage, with a faint confidence in his brows, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made him feel a little depressed.

After a few rounds, it became clear that the starting combination of Gasol and Hill was ineffective.

The main reason is that the speed is too slow, even the high and low coordination of the Mavericks' two insiders is difficult to stop. In addition, Blake's defense on the outside is too poor. .

This is the price you need to pay for the Mavericks' bench lineup, and you can only endure it first.

After thinking about it for only 2 seconds, Li Yue continued to stand on the right wing. Seeing Blake come to the frontcourt, he reached out for the ball again.

He took the ball in his hands, raised his hands high and was about to pass it in, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Marion's shoulders shaking slightly, and the center of gravity of his body moved back slightly, as if he wanted to move back quickly.

Suddenly, he guessed that Marion wanted to pinch Gasol quickly so that he couldn't run to the basket immediately after he couldn't pass the ball, so that Daim would have time to come up and delay, and then Marion would return to defense.

By doing this, you may not be trying to prevent scoring anytime soon, but it can cause a lot of trouble anyway.

The more trouble, the greater the probability of mistakes.

Now that he thought of this in advance, he took advantage of the momentum to jump up and shoot. Marion was half a beat slower, and the basketball flew into the air without any obstacles.

Swish!Hollow into the net.

The Lakers lead 7 to 6.

Li Yue stepped back in small steps, and seeing a trace of doubt flashing across Marion's face, he knew he had guessed right.

Ellis picked up from the backcourt and brought it to the right wing in four seconds. Without waiting for the other three teammates to get in position, he directly relied on Daim to cover and strode forward along the sideline. Li Yue immediately shouted double-teaming and accelerated at the same time Sprint to the basket.

Meeks and Hill did as they were told, and they formed a 60-degree fan circle. Ellis rushed a few steps and had nowhere to go, slowed down and stopped, twisted his body and passed the ball to Dame who opened the air cut basket , the latter caught the ball and took two steps, and layup with a backhand.

Li Yue arrived just in time, and with a low growl, he stood up from the ground and forcibly hugged the basketball with both hands.

Catch it!

He landed firmly and swooped forward. Blake followed up from the right, and the two made a double-line fast break.

Ellis, Marion, and Calderon chased wildly, and the Lakers did not dominate the frontcourt with 2-on-3.

The audience booed and interfered wildly. D'Antoni waved his hand on the sidelines to signal that he could slow down the pace, but Li Yue didn't stop on his feet. He rushed all the way to the basket, then made a Rondo-style emergency stop and turned around, bending over to avoid the flying Ellis. , Pass the ball to Meeks who is following up.

Swish!Three-point hollow entry
The Lakers lead 10-6.

The Mavericks attack, Calderon dribbled the ball over the center line, feinted a step and failed to get rid of Blake, then rushed to the right wing.

Li Yue defended Marion at the top of the arc. In line with the principle of "watching the ball as well as the people", he quickly turned his head and glanced at the situation on the right wing, just in time to see Calderon break through the bottom line with Daim's cover, and immediately shouted for double-teaming.

Actually used the same trick multiple times!
Hill and Blake decisively double-teamed, Gasol went forward to block Dirk, Calderon had no way to go, and couldn't pass the ball nearby, so he was forced to jump up and pass long in the air, not to mention the players on the field. , even the audience can see clearly.

The basketball flew straight to the top of the arc, Li Yue took off at the right time, and hit Marion in the air with a bang.

He successfully caught the ball, landed a direct pass to Meeks on the left sideline, and then rushed forward. After all, Marion is a veteran, and he can catch up with a young man like him in pure speed. was completely thrown away.

Meeks dribbled the ball for a while and hit the ground back. Li Yue caught the ball and was just at the three-point line at the top of the arc.

The basketball crashed into the net, and the Lakers led 13 to 6.

He beat his chest in celebration, turned around and saw Rick Carlisle raised his hand to ask for a timeout, and the confidence between his brows was gone!
"Coach Carlisle doesn't seem to be feeling well," Mark said. "Things don't seem to be as simple as he thought."

"Hehe." Barry chuckled, "Maybe this is just a small temptation for him, and the best is yet to come."
