I just play ball

Chapter 271
The scene became chaotic in an instant, but the fight also stopped. The three people on the Lakers held Nick Young firmly, while on the Clippers side, Dudley rushed halfway to stop himself. reason.

The referee drove the players of the two teams back to the bench, then walked to the technical platform, formed a group wearing headphones, and played the video over and over again. After discussing for about half a minute, they finally raised their hands towards the technical platform and crossed from inside to outside. Waving -- not counting criminals, normal defensive action, no extra free throws, the Clippers get the ball in the backcourt.

"Trash referee, malicious cover!" Some spectators shouted loudly, and there were boos around the arena.

Dudley walked into the arena as if nothing had happened, and raised his hand to the audience to signal that the atmosphere would be more dry and full of provocation.

Li Yue happened to see this scene, and immediately stood up and wanted to enter the field to respond, but he was signaled to sit down by the team doctor Garivetti in a blink of an eye, emphasizing that to be on the safe side, he needed to observe for a few more minutes to avoid serious injuries.

Li Yue turned to D'Antoni, his eyes hinted that he could continue to play, and hoped that the other party would help him fight for it. He did twist his ankle before the game. Fortunately, he did a very serious job of wrapping his ankle before the game. It can be said that there was basically no injury. The pain came from a muscle pull. Garivetti was terrified by Kobe's insistence on continuing to play and suffered more serious injuries.

D'Antoni shrugged slightly, raised his finger to Nick Young, and told him to replace Li Yue on the stage.

Nick Yang was a little confused, first looked at the coach, then at Li Yue, with an expression of "I can't help it", then got up and walked to the field.

Li Yue spread his hands helplessly, and sat down to enjoy the game with other teammates.

Seeing that the Lakers lacked the main force, Clippers coach Rivers immediately directed the team to adjust the offensive method, but Paul reacted faster than him, dribbling the ball across half court, and directly asked Dudley to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, fully targeting the two weaknesses of the Lakers.

No matter Blake or Nick Young, the pick-and-roll defense is very average, especially in front of the league's top guard like Paul, the space given is as much as ordinary training, but D'Antoni sees the trick and asks to switch defenses in advance. The strategy is very To be clear, if Paul can catch a small gap and score a shot, he will admit defeat. Anyway, don't let the Clippers team participate in the offense.

As for Redick, who often runs the baseline and shoots three-pointers with cover, Kobe focuses on marking.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, the Clippers' defensive strategy was also clear. They continued to flank Kobe from the outside, forcing the Lakers to play the ball in. Using Jordan's excellent ability to protect the frame, the Lakers greatly increased the difficulty of scoring.

The game just started, and there was neither desperate need nor necessity. The defensive strategies of the two teams were equally successful. With Griffin fouling Gasol, the first quarter ended with 6 minutes and 51 seconds left, and the Lakers trailed 13 to 15.

D'Antoni turned his head to look at the team doctor Gary, with a questioning look in his eyes, and Li Yue then lifted his right foot and flexed it, showing that he was completely OK.Gary finally nodded in agreement, Li Yue got up, followed Iguoda into the field, and replaced Kobe and Nick Young.

The audience applauded and cheered, and Gasol made two free throws to tie the game.

The Clippers attacked, Paul dribbled the ball to the left wing, flicked his hand and passed to the top of the arc.

Jordan received the ball with his hands raised high, observed for two seconds, turned around and passed back, and moved laterally to set up a wall as a screen.Blake took a step forward, chased Paul and ran to the right 45 degrees, without losing even half of his body, and the audience applauded loudly.

Li Yue and Landry stood in the right half. Paul seemed to be afraid. He pulled the ball back to make room, and hit the ball hard to the left elbow. Redick, who bypassed the baseline, just used the small Jordan's down screen catches the ball.

Everything seemed to be planned, but the correct running position was that Redick received the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, which was much earlier than the expected time and place, and Jordan's screen failed to work, and Iguodah tightened After that, he directly raised his hand to press down.

Redick's ball-handling skills are too far from shooting, and he didn't dare to operate too much, rushing to pass the ball back.Paul was forced to pass the ball. He didn't expect the basketball to fly back. He didn't catch it in a hurry, and the ball rolled to the center line.

Blake stepped to catch up, and Li Yue also stepped forward to block Dudley, and at the same time shouted to remind the team to expand the defense line, because the Clippers' offense was in chaos, and it would take time to reorganize, so perhaps they could take advantage of the chaos.

It only took one second for Rivers to react and shout loudly. Griffin heard the words and went up to the wall as a cover. Dick still receives the ball where expected.

The basketball flew past Iguodala's fingertips, hit the rim with a bang, rebounded and fell.

Gasol grabbed the ball and passed it to the right wing along his body. Li Yue caught the ball and ran forward.

Iguodala followed up from the left, cut diagonally to the top of the frontcourt arc, and stood with both feet to set a positioning screen.Li Yue strode over, seeing Dudley trying to bypass the screen to intercept, he stopped decisively behind his back and changed direction, and dribbled the ball with his left hand and rushed into the three-point line.

Dudley chased closely, Li Yue started a three-step layup in advance, dodged in the air to avoid Jordan's block, and pulled the bar to hit the board.

The basketball rebounded into the net, and the Lakers overtook 17 to 15.

The Clippers attacked, Paul dribbled the ball to the right wing, suddenly bent over and kicked the ground to exert force, striding forward.

As if to prove that he could get rid of Blake before, Paul showed the strength of the league's number one point guard and got rid of a position in almost a second. Li Yue immediately moved laterally from the bottom corner and reached out to intercept the interference.

Paul immediately pulled the ball back from his crotch, and Li Yue hurried back to defend, trying to prevent Dudley from catching the ball and making an open shot, but Paul pulled the ball in advance to change direction, made another strong burst, and easily shook off Blake.Li Yue couldn't block any more, so Gasol had to shrink and intercept under the basket. Landry then rotated to defend Jordan, and Griffin on the left sideline was unguarded.

As the god of point guards, Paul naturally discovered this, and immediately jumped up and made a long pass.

The players of the two teams adjusted their faces to the left, and the entire right half became the weak side. Li Yue ran to the free throw line with both legs. At the same time, Iguodala rushed to the left sideline, but just ran Position, Griffin catches the ball and then points to the top of the arc.

Redick was about to jump out after catching the ball, but found that Li Yue was standing in front of him as if teleporting. The height gap made him have to step down the ball and go left to break through.Li Yue twisted his hips to follow, and teamed up with Iguodala, who moved across from the left, to double-team.

Redick was cornered, he stopped abruptly and raised his hand to shoot, but he stopped halfway through the lift, clearly wanting to make a foul, but Li Yue didn't subconsciously follow suit, and Iguodala slapped the basketball off and bent down to catch hands.

Only then did Li Yue rush forward subconsciously, still rushing without looking back, and Iguodala swung his arms tacitly and made a long pass.

The basketball flew over half of the court, hit the backboard and bounced upside down. Li Yue picked it up in his hand, took off from the free throw line with one step, gliding in the air and scoring a dunk.Deafening cheers broke out at the scene, and Gasol made two free throws. The Lakers scored a wave of 6-0.

The Clippers attack, Paul dribbles the ball to the right wing, hands it to Dudley, and often moves left along the free throw line.And Dudley divided the top of the arc again, and Jordan received the ball and passed it back to Paul, who was 45 on the left, and the latter lobbed a pass to the waist.

The purpose of spending such a lot of time in guiding the running position is to open up space for Griffin to single-handedly hit Landry. Li Yue moved slowly and quietly moved to the edge of the three-second zone, silently counting down five seconds in his heart.

I saw Griffin bend his knees and sink his shoulders, slamming the ball hard, rolling in step by step, without technical content, relying entirely on his weight and youth, forcing Landry to get into the basket.

When five seconds were up, Li Yue stepped forward abruptly, blocking the shot space from the front.At the same time, Griffin turned around and took off, facing Landry to interfere with the shot. It was not the best way to shoot, and the basketball hit the basket and fell.

Li Yue picked up the basketball and was about to turn around and rush forward when the referee blew his whistle belatedly and called Landry for a foul. Griffin got two free throw opportunities.Li Yue was a little confused, spread his hands flat, and asked with a smile: "Why?"

The referee pretended not to hear and reached out for the basketball. Li Yue shook his head and handed it over, standing straight to his waist.

There were boos all over the scene, Griffin caught the ball and held it high, aimed at the basket for half a second, and tipped his toes to make a shot.

The basketball hit the back edge of the rim, rebounded and flew back to the free throw line. Griffin grabbed it, stepped forward and stretched out both hands at the same time, high-fiving Dudley and Jordan, perfunctory as if going through the process, Paul And Redick simply did not go to high five.

"It seems that most of the fanaticism of the Clippers has disappeared." Breen said, "It still needs to be proved through actual actions, who is the better team in Los Angeles, and that is a 48-minute process."

Griffin caught the ball again, aimed at the basket for half a second, stood on tiptoe, and hit the iron again with a bang.

Jordan swooped down and collided with Landry head-on in the air. The two reached out to grab the basketball at the same time, like two heavy hammers. The basketball bounced out of bounds under force. The voice sounded immediately.

D'Antoni was so angry that he yelled at the referee, but it was a pity that it was difficult to tell who had the basketball before it went out of bounds. Rivers smiled and directed the Clippers to stand up quickly and made tactical gestures casually.

The Clippers quickly settled down. Li Yue followed and stood in the middle of the free throw line. Before turning his head to look around, he found that Paul was standing outside the bottom line on the right, Griffin was standing at the top of the arc, Jordan, Redick, Dudley three Stacked positions in the restricted area.

With such a formation, there may be many kinds of movement changes, but considering Paul's serve, Griffin's three-point shooting rate is extremely low, and there is a high probability of receiving the ball around the bottom corner with double blocks in the low position, or connecting the ball with the top of the arc and the high and low positions under the basket , after all, Jordan's ability to eat cakes is top-notch.

I wanted to think about it, but I didn't have time to tell my teammates in detail, so I could only tell Gasol when the referee whistled: "Stick to the basket."

As soon as the words fell, Dudley started running horizontally and rushed to the right, stopped at the elbow to set up a wall, and formed a double screen with Jordan. Redick followed closely and used the two screens to forcefully throw Iguodala away. , without hesitation to switch defenses in advance.

Paul showed a little surprise, and jumped up to pass the ball to the top of the arc. Griffin received it, and immediately showed a different side of the traditional power forward. He began to change hands and dribble, shaking his shoulders like a guard.

Landry was a bit confused for a while, and after adjusting his steps a few times, he was completely led by the nose. Griffin broke through from the left, rushed to the free throw line, suddenly stopped and pulled the ball, turned around, diverted to the right and went straight to the basket, easily throwing It's bad to drive.

Gasol hurriedly defended and intercepted, Li Yue felt cold when he saw this, why didn't he listen to the suggestion?

But there is no way, Griffin has a very high hit rate from close range and must be guarded against.

As he expected, Griffin passed the ball low, and Jordan took off on the spot and slammed his hands into the hoop.

But what he didn't expect was that Iguodala followed suit, leaning in the air and nailing the big hat.

The basketball hit the board and bounced to the free throw line. Landry picked it up. Li Yue kicked the ground and started running. He caught the ball and ran wildly from the sideline. He used his absolute speed to throw away Redick, rushed to the frontcourt to scatter in the three-second zone, and dunked violently with both hands. .

21 to 15, the Lakers expanded their lead, and the arena burst into applause.

Li Yue landed on the ground, turned around, raised his right hand, and waved at Iguodala from a distance. If the Lakers lost points just now, it had nothing to do with Iguodala, but Iguodala was desperately defending. He fell to the floor, and immediately got up and prepared to follow up and push the fast break. Such a player, such a spirit, deserves great praise.

The Clippers attacked, Paul quickly dribbled the ball to the right wing, and then used Griffin to cover and rush to the bottom corner.

Landry switched defenses and intercepted, teamed up with Blake to double-team, Paul made an emergency stop and passed the ball behind.

Griffin didn't seem to expect the pass, so he didn't prepare in advance. He bent down to catch it in a hurry, and almost missed it. When he got it, Landry had already withdrawn and returned, and the open cell phone would disappear in a flash.

Griffin made some observations, turned around and moved to the short corner, and waited with his hands raised high, making it clear that he was going to pass back.

Blake intervened close to him, and Paul had to go two meters beyond the three-point line to receive the ball, with only 12 seconds left in the attack time.

Paul still controlled the ball calmly, and once again used Griffin to raise the cover to rush in, rushed to the three-point line and suddenly diverted to the free throw line.

Landry's lateral movement speed is relatively slow, and there is no one else in the free throw line area. In terms of Paul's mid-range shooting ability, if there is no supplementary defense, there is a high probability that he will get two points. Iguodala thought for a moment, from the top of the arc Shrink cut off.

Redick took the opportunity to run to the left wing to open the distance. Paul jumped up and passed the ball as if he had expected it. Li Yue gave up Dudley and rushed to defend.

Redick took the ball straight to the left corner, Dudley caught the ball, calmly aimed at the basket and raised his hand.

From the flank to the bottom corner, there is a distance of about 6 meters. Li Yue calculated in his mind that he knew that there was only one second at most, and it would be quite difficult to return to defense. However, Iguodala's actions just now were quite encouraging, and he had not responded to Dudley before Fouls and provocations.

Without thinking any more, he took a sharp step and leaped across the sky like an eagle.

boom!He didn't complete the block, but accidentally hit the basketball with his upper body, and the man and the ball flew out of bounds at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, he hugged the basketball with one hand, threw it back hard, and then fell into the middle of a group of beautiful cheerleaders. The screams sounded instantly, and the cheers exploded in the audience. He got up and turned around, and found Yi Godala is playing fast break.

But Paul followed closely, and the chance of scoring easily was very small. He hurried across the crowd and rushed into the field to prepare to respond.

He rushed all the way to the top of the arc, and Iguodala just came out along the baseline to find someone to cooperate, and the basketball flew straight over.

He received the hand, ignored Dudley's face full of anger and rushed head-on, jumped up and threw a three-pointer.

Swish!Hollow into the net.

The referee blew his whistle at the same time, whistled for a foul by the thug, and added a penalty.

Amidst the shouts of MVP all over the field, he made a steady hit and added a penalty. The Lakers played a 12-0 attack wave and led 25-15.

The Clippers asked for a timeout, and Brin said hesitantly: "The Lakers played passionately in the past few minutes, but a lot of rotations also consume a lot of energy. Is this okay?"

Thank you for another month of company.
