I just play ball

Chapter 30

As D'Antoni expected, after the timeout ended, the Knicks replaced Anthony with Novak.

Although Novak's open three-pointer is perfect, but the ability to hold the ball is basically zero, the Knicks' tactics were forced to start from outside the three-point line, and became a very traditional pick-and-roll breakthrough, which was executed by JR and Kidd. Others People just wait to catch the ball and release it.

JR is very capable when he is on the front of the nerve knife, but he is not Wade after all. Under Kobe's full defense, every offense becomes difficult. In addition, Kidd has no offensive desire. very low.

The Lakers launched multiple fast breaks by grabbing defensive rebounds. Li Yue made a timely and accurate pass and quickly opened up the score.

After halftime, the Lakers led 52-40, Kobe scored 15 points, Li Yue sent 8 assists and scored 9 points, Howard crazily grabbed 11 rebounds, and no one in the team played more than 20 minutes.

During the intermission, the whole team returned to the locker room. D'Antoni finished the summary in 1 minute and emphasized the precautions for the second half.

Li Yue took out his mobile phone, wanting to see how the netizens would brag about himself if he played so well at halftime.

Sure enough, the first few tweets in the name search results were all praises, both in English and Chinese, all crazy.

"When I formed F4 at the beginning of the season, I was full of joy and thought that I would win the championship, but in the end I suffered a 9-game losing streak, and then fell into various struggles. The winning percentage has never risen, and the ranking has always been at the bottom of the West. Li Yue joined the battle, and the temperament and strength of the whole team have undergone tremendous changes, just like the Rockets in the 94-95 season!"

"Li Yue smashed Anthony in all directions, I don't want to accumulate any bullshit character, the Lakers are the champion!"

"The girl I like promises that as long as Li Yue gets another 20+ triple-double tonight, she will go to the movies with me. I hope that Anthony and the Knicks will cheer up and give Li Yue and the Lakers a little bit of difficulty. Don't have too much garbage time."

Seeing some netizens losing their minds because of love, Li Yue was deeply touched. He immediately asked Black and D'Antoni if ​​they could use Twitter during the game. misunderstood action.

With permission, Li Yue tapped on the screen and wrote: "A girl who really likes you will not tell you such a condition before the start of the relationship. Don't be a dog licker. You must know that there is nothing left after licking a dog. "

After the tweet was sent out, more than 1 comments were received within a minute. Many male netizens who shared the same feeling hugged each other to keep warm, and some netizens who were too idle questioned Li Yue's lack of professionalism, and even tweeted during the competition.

"He is excellent in all aspects, but I just don't like him. I just think he is so lucky that he can get ahead because of such an opportunity, so I just want to black him. Why don't I have that kind of luck?"

"If you achieve a little achievement, you will be defiant. Don't you know that it is too late, and it may not be good if you are big?"

"Except for the three-point foul, Li Yue's other statistics are all due to the Lakers teammates and offensive system. If you change teams, who is willing to let him be the starting point of the offense? Who is willing to do high pick-and-rolls for him? Unless he He can attack with the ball, otherwise he will always be a system player in his heart."

After reading a few articles in a row, Li Yue couldn't help but feel happy that the level of black netizens has improved. At least he doesn't have to face those ridicules related to shit and fart all the time. Maybe he can get some inspiration, such as attacking with the ball is conducive to attracting more fan.

...

Really bored, Li Yuezai returned to the court early, just in time to watch the halftime performance, and all the Lakers girls danced superbly.

As U2's song "MORE" stopped playing, the whistle sounded in the arena, and the Lakers girls left the arena one after another.

Li Yue picked up the basketball, entered the court to warm up, and focused on practicing dribbling breakthroughs.

Soon, the third quarter officially started.

The Lakers put in the starting lineup. The Knicks replaced Kidd with Felton and formed a backcourt duo with JR. At the same time, Kurt Thomas also replaced the young and strong Ronnie Brewer. conversion speed.

The Knicks attacked first, and Felton caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced.

This buddy is only 185 tall, but his arms are a circle bigger than Nash, and he leaned sideways as soon as he reached the top of the arc.

Nash was thin and experienced, and his face changed and he stepped back.

Li Yue saw it in his eyes, and thought to himself, isn't this a typical tactic of luring the enemy into depth?
Sure enough, Felton happily rushed to the free throw line and was about to raise his hand for a layup, but he saw two strong men, Howard and Gasol, staring at him from left to right, like a hunter patiently waiting for his prey, scaring him. He has to pass the ball quickly.

Anthony received the ball from the right wing, turned around to face Li Yue sideways, and tried to squeeze hard.

Li Yue took the initiative to retreat, preparing to lure the enemy into deep like Nash, and then group up to wipe them out.

But Anthony seems to be very clear, without hesitation, he collects the ball and kicks his legs, aiming at the basket is a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and bounced into the net.

Li Yue curled his lips slightly. When Anthony can make a three-pointer, it is really impossible to defend.

Changing the Lakers' offense, Li Yue started from the right wing, rushed to the top of the arc to receive a hand-off pass, and moved to the left half court in a wide range.

At the same time, Kobe started from the left wing and used Gasol to cover the inside cut. After Nash passed the ball, he used Howard to cover the inside cut.

JR and Felton were both dizzy. The young Brewer was vacillating between switching and switching and not switching. Chandler wanted to direct, but it was too late. The Knicks' defensive formation instantly collapsed.

Seeing Nash rushing to the left corner with no one in front of him, Li Yue passed the ball decisively.

Anthony subconsciously turned his head to check, Li Yue took the opportunity to counter-run an air cut, Nash passed back and made a throw.

Swish!Two points hit.

Chandler picks up the basketball and exits out of bounds, passes it to Felton, and the Knicks attack.

When all five of them arrived in the frontcourt, JR suddenly started running from the left at [-] degrees, and rushed to the left corner with the cover of Brewer and Anthony.Li Yue switched defenses to catch up, leaving the task of defending Anthony to Gasol.

Felton passed the ball immediately, Brewer led Kobe inside, Anthony caught the ball and singled Gasol, after a simple tentative step shaking the center of gravity of the body, he stepped down the ball and forced it, directly at the maximum speed, without giving any buffer time .

Gasol slid sideways to catch up. He was able to catch up with no pressure in the first step, but he was half a body behind in the second step. When he was completely thrown away in the third step, Anthony took the ball and took off, turning around and rushing to the basket first. Get ready to grab the board.

Swish!The basketball was hollow into the net, and Gasol stopped suddenly, turned around and walked to the frontcourt silently.

The Lakers attacked, Nash dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and passed it to Li Yue who was running up as usual, but instead of using Howard to cover for an inside cut, he ran to the right wing, forcing Anthony to switch defenses, and Li Yue successfully misplaced the singles Felton.

203 centimeters vs. 185 centimeters, and on the basis of shooting ability, there is no need for too many technical means at all. He can take the ball several times in a row to adjust his posture and rhythm, and make a three-pointer.

boom!The basketball bounces off the backboard and into the net.

The Knicks attacked, Felton took the ball to the top of the arc, and JR ran to the bottom corner again with the double screen of Brewer and Anthony.

Li Yue and Kobe's eye contact did not switch defenses, but advanced space to catch up.

The effect is very good, Kobe bites JR tightly, but Brewer, who is wide and thick, takes advantage of the situation to cover Anthony.

Felton passed the ball on the spot, Anthony caught the ball in the low post and hit back, turned around and passed Gasol, and scored easily.

For the Lakers to attack, Nash and Li Yue are still cooperating at the top of the arc.

The Knicks suffered consecutive losses and looked ugly, and suddenly resorted to double-teaming. Felton and Anthony's four big hands pressed together.

Li Yue pulled the ball back calmly, dodged the double-team and immediately distributed the ball to the right wing, still the kind who didn't look at people.

Nash received the ball and was unguarded, and steadily raised his hand to aim at the basket. The Knicks team's attention was attracted. When Chandler reacted, Li Yue had already received Howard and Gasol's cover and rushed to the basket. He received a pass back and dunked with both hands!
The sound of the basketball hitting the hoop spread throughout the arena, and the fans cheered like fireworks, one after another.

Howard stepped forward to celebrate with high fives with Li Yue, Chandler hurriedly served, Anthony caught the ball and quickly dropped it, and the Knicks rushed to attack!

Li Yue ran after him and reached the three-point line in four seconds, blocking Anthony abruptly.

But Anthony had a hot streak in scoring consecutively before, completely ignoring the defense, and directly chasing three-pointers!

boom!The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net, and the cheers of the fans stopped abruptly.

Li Yue was dissatisfied. He asked for the ball in advance from the backcourt, and quickly brought it to the top of the arc. Facing Anthony's defense, he lowered his center of gravity and pulled the ball in front of his body with one hand to change direction with high frequency. .

After trying several times in a row, Li Yue suddenly made a breakthrough to the right and fired like a slingshot fully charged.

Anthony twisted his hips slightly, and was about to chase sideways. Li Yue stopped the brakes suddenly, changed to a cross, and diverted to the left to break through.

The range is very small and the distance is very close, but Anthony just has no time to twist his hips again, so he can only eat exhaust gas.

At the same time, Howard and Gasol blocked their defenders in reverse, clearing a wide path for Li Yue.

With a bang and a one-handed dunk, Li Yue scored 10 points in a row after the opening of the third quarter!
...

In the TNT commentary seat, Marvin Abbott clapped his hands: "Please cheer for the wonderful performances of Anthony and Li Yue. They are currently feeling hot and are playing their best performance in this game."

Miller said: "The Knicks are enriching their offensive options, but under the joint defense of Kobe and Li Yue, the essence is still Anthony singles. There is no problem with his current state explosion. Once the state returns to normal, the Knicks are likely to be defeated. The Lakers played a wave, after all, Kobe Bryant hasn't started to play in the third quarter yet!"

Webber nodded: "Someone in the Knicks lineup must stand up to help Anthony. If they still fail to even out the point difference after the third quarter, it will be difficult for them to last until the end."

　I wrote more than 6300 words today, which is barely counted as the third update. I will make up for the one owed before, and ask for a recommendation ticket by the way.
