I just play ball

Chapter 224
On the Lakers bench, D'Antoni simply emphasized a few offensive points, and then asked Li Yue if he wanted to say something.

Li Yue was not impolite, and took over the conversation and said: "From the video analysis, they may focus on the high-position pick-and-roll cooperation of Monta Ellis and Dirk Nowitzki. We suggest strengthening the focus on these two positions." Defense."

Rick Blair is definitely a tactical master. His early coaching experience in the Pistons and Pacers has already been reflected. He led the Mavericks to win the championship in 11, which made his on-the-spot command ability recognized by the entire league.

Now that the Mavericks' offense is in trouble, Li Yue feels that Carlisle has a high probability of changing his style of play, and it is necessary to make a countermeasure in advance.

D'Antoni thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Landry will replace Hill, and Gasol will play center."

This arrangement increases the mobility of the inside line, but it is also a way to deal with high pick-and-rolls. Although there are many problems, it is barely acceptable, and it will not be difficult to restrict the high and low connections of the opponent's big man.

The timeout ends in a blink of an eye, and the game continues.

The Mavericks attacked, Calderon brought the ball to the front court, and the other 4 people fell below the free throw. He slowly ran to the left wing. At the same time, Ellis, who was standing at the free throw line, turned inside and set up a The wall blocks Landry.

Time passed quickly, Landry was in a hurry, and took a step across the front to press forward. Just then, Nowitzki stepped on the ground with his right foot, retreated and turned around, instantly opened a large distance, and used it skillfully and gracefully. Fame stunt - golden rooster independence.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Mavericks chased 8 to 13.

Li Yue turned around and retreated, deliberately ran to Landry's side, and suggested in a low voice to go around to defend.

After all, Nowitzki's back play is too difficult to use normal means to limit, not to mention Landry is still at a height disadvantage.

Landry nodded silently. Li Yue ran to the right wing and settled down. After waiting for two seconds, he leaned sideways against Marion and stretched out his hand for the ball.

Blake gave it immediately. He took the ball and put it in a three-threat position, calling for a back screen.

Gasol lifted up and stood still after hearing the words, Li Yue kicked the ground with force, directly increased the speed to the highest, and followed the ball with a strong rush, Marion subconsciously retreated and chased but was blocked by the wall, Daim hurriedly switched defenses and was delayed, and had not yet made contact was thrown away.

The center of gravity of the players of the two teams shifted accordingly, and soon Nowitzki was left alone in the entire right half of the Mavericks. Li Yue knew that Ellis was going to pass the ball, but he was in the left corner and could only shout Reminder of interception.

Before the words were finished, the basketball flew out. Nowitzki took the ball and shot it as easily as if he was training before the game.

Swish!CIC scored.

The Lakers attack, Blake advances with the ball, rushes across the center line and raises his hand to call for tactics: horns involved, 3rd position air cut.

Seeing that he needed to end by himself, Li Yue rushed to the right corner and stood still. Turning around, Gasol and Landry stood on the left and right sides of the free throw line, Meeks squatted in the left corner, and Blake just led The ball comes to the top of the arc.

Carlisle, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly yelled: "They are going to make an air cut, and the switch will be delayed..."

Hearing this, Li Yue knew that the tactics had been seen through, and immediately rushed to the elbow area. Landry rushed over in a daze for a moment, and the two crossed without the ball to cover. Straight to the hoop.

And Blake passed the ball to Gasol on the left free throw line, who received the ball and then passed it to the basket.

Li Yue received the ball, hugged it with both hands, took off with two strides, gliding in the air, and picked up the basket with his left hand.

The basketball hit the basket and was caught, 17 to 10.

Marion, who was chasing after him, picked up the basketball and handed it to Calderon, and the Mavericks trio pushed for a fast break.Li Yue rushed to catch up and rushed to the frontcourt with Landry to settle down.

There was a burst of cheers in the arena, and any fool could see that after the timeout, the Mavericks focused on the cooperation of Nowitzki and Ellis. Something went wrong.

Blake pushed forward, raised his hand at the center line, and wanted to play a 3-position bottom line to quickly circle the screen and catch the ball.

Li Yue immediately rushed to the top of the arc, and the moonlight in the corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of Marion following him, and immediately braked and turned his hips to run back.

He came to the left half along the bottom line, made an off-ball cross screen with the oncoming Meeks, took the opportunity to get rid of Marion and rushed to the elbow, and then used Landry's screen to go around the top of the arc and receive a pass from Blake , Facing Nowitzki who moved laterally and switched defenses.

Considering the price difference in Nowitzki's defensive ability, he didn't think much about it for half a second, and directly lowered his shoulders and lowered his waist.

Simply effortless!
Marion and Ellis shrunk to encircle, Li Yue ran towards the right corner, passing the ball without looking at anyone hitting the ground.

Meeks received the ball and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

Hollow into the net, 20 to 13.

It is also effortless to smash the basketball into the net.

The Lakers attacked, Li Yue received the ball from the right wing, slowly shifted to the top of the arc, waited for the basket to clear, and waved to Landry.

After Landry lifted the wall, he immediately turned around and cut. He dribbled the ball to the left at the same time. Marion was limited in position and chose to switch to follow up. He got a chance to single out Nowitzki at a 45-degree position, and the audience booed wildly. interference.

After slapping the ball several times in a row to find the rhythm, he dribbled the ball with his left hand, lifted his shoulders and kicked the ground, and took a sharp step forward to the left.

Landry took off the ball and dunked vigorously with both hands. The Lakers led 22 to 15 and always maintained a 7-point advantage.

"This is how the playoffs are played. The two teams put in all their strength and play by exploiting each other's weaknesses." Barry said, "What do you think?"

"I think the Lakers have more weaknesses, the key is to look at the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter." Mike said, "The Mavericks have a strong bench lineup, and the Lakers currently only have Iguodala, unless Lee Yue plays for a long time. "
