I just play ball

Chapter 319 Times have changed
Cheers broke out in the arena instantly, and the fans were as happy as if it rained after a long drought. Since the first game of the series, it seemed that this was the first time they had encountered such a penalty that was biased towards the Lakers and Li Yue, and it was blown on the Warriors' main defensive team. body.

You know, the situation just now is difficult to judge with the naked eye. Whether it was Li Yue who took the lead in establishing a reasonable defensive posture, or whether Green was the first to enter the offensive line and initiate a three-step layup, in fact, it can be played anyway. No one will use the video to make a fuss. The referee can deliberately favor Green because of the opening remarks.

Green threw away the basketball, rushed to the bottom line with a face full of excitement, bowed and spread his hands and asked angrily, "Why?"

"I must remind you that as a referee, I have zero-tolerance law enforcement power!" The bottom line referee suddenly raised his eyebrows, ignored Green's roar, bent down to pick up the basketball, and waved to the Lakers to arrange a kick-off.

Gobert stepped forward quickly, took the basketball and threw it into the court. The Lakers launched an offense, and Green turned around and returned to defense cursing.

The audience shouted LETSGOLA in unison. Kobe took the ball across the center line and turned to look at Li Yue, as if asking if he wanted to continue playing singles.Li Yue shook his head slightly, and ran straight to the bottom corner on the right, hinting to the other four teammates to run tactics.

Naturally, the team’s height advantage has to be used. After the basketball is passed outside, it falls into the hands of Gasol on the left waist. He puts his back against Green, holds the ball with both hands and raises it above his head. Push forward.

Green was young and in good health, and immediately moved his footsteps to intercept, but Gasol quietly pulled the ball and turned around, easily opening up the two body spaces, as in usual training, skillfully catching the ball and stepping up to take off, ignoring Green's return, steady Mid shot.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Lakers lead 5-0.

The Warriors attack, and the audience chants defense.

Curry took the ball to the right wing, passed it to Green at the top of the arc, and used Barnes to cover the inside cut. At the same time, Green passed the ball to the left wing, and Thompson received it with his hands raised and waited.

Curry went straight to the hoop, didn't slow down at all, and looked like he was heading for the corner, where David Lee had a screen.

Seeing this situation, Gobert subconsciously moved his steps ahead of time, preparing to talk to prevent interference.

I thought about it, Curry stopped the brakes suddenly under the basket, and forcibly ran back and rushed out.

Kobe turned around to catch up, and the free throw line was delayed by Green's positioning screen.

Gasol hurriedly switched defenses, but unfortunately the big man was not as nimble as the small man. Just as he took a step, Curry had already received the basketball. Just as he raised his hand to interfere, the basketball had already lifted into the air and flew towards the hoop. Curry's shot was extremely fast!

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

The Warriors chased to 3 to 5.

O'Neal clapped his hands and said: "If Li Yue and LeBron have changed the style of forward players, then Stephen Curry may change the style of perimeter players. The NBA is in an era of great change. We are fortunate to witness such a wonderful performance."

"Don't talk about it, you said that these seem inexperienced." Barkley laughed, "What Li Yue and LeBron did, Larry Bird did it long ago, and what Curry did, Reggie did it long ago. In basketball, the inside is always king."

"Hehe." O'Neal shrugged, "I have 4 championships and 3 FMVPs."

"Stop!" Buckley raised his hand, "You don't necessarily need to know how to cool a refrigerator to evaluate a refrigerator."

On the court, Kobe took the ball to the left wing, patted it on the spot for a moment, and threw it vigorously 45 degrees to the right.

Li Yue received the ball, looked at the positions of his teammates on the field, and then raised his hand to call for tactical gestures. The starting point was still to use his height advantage as a breakthrough.Seeing this, Gasol started from the left baseline and rushed to the bottom of the free throw circle with the help of Gobert's cover.

With his teammates in place, Li Yue pushed the ball forward with both hands, took advantage of the momentum and rushed, relying on Iguodala to cover, and went straight to the basket.

At the same time, Kobe also went off the assembly line and went straight to the hoop. Li Yue slowed down and stopped for a moment to set up a positioning screen for him, delaying Curry who was chasing madly, while Iguodala ran to the top of the arc, completely leaving the right side half court space.

This kind of running position, no matter how you look at it, seems to create singles opportunities for Kobe, let alone Gasol with the ball.

In just half a second, the Warriors' defensive center of gravity shifted to the right. Li Yue took the opportunity to start running, while Gasol passed the ball to Iguodala, and then teamed up with Gobert to screen for him without the ball and completely blocked it. Barnes and Green.

David Lee was really hard to catch up. Li Yue easily rushed to the left 45 degrees, received a pass from Iguodala, adjusted his posture calmly, jumped up steadily and shot a three-pointer that was almost open. The basketball was as accurate as a positioning system. Arrested.

After scoring 6 points in a row at the start, the audience cheered and applauded, and the central big screen repeatedly played close-up shots.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the right wing, handed it to Green at the top of the arc, and used Thompson's cover to go straight to the inside.

Barnes on the left followed up, and the two made an off-ball cross-screen under the basket, and Clay strode to the top of the arc.

Three-line operation, leaving a lot of space in the left half,
Li Yue saw it in his eyes, and thought quickly in his mind: As long as the bottom line moves, the shooter basically uses the cover to cut out the tactics. Barnes' poor catch and shoot percentage is obviously not the candidate, only Curry is the best. To choose, you only need to follow the usual routines, and Thompson will be handed over to Iguodala.

It took only half a second to make up his mind, and he decisively chose to switch defenses. Kobe went to Barnes very tacitly.

I thought, just after Curry came out of the three-point line, David Lee actually held Gobert with his back and started playing back.

I didn't choose to pass the ball. I don't know if it was a tactical plan or a temporary adjustment.

At this time, the players of the two teams had already withdrawn from the basket, leaving room for David Lee to play instead.

Li Yue was in a daze for a moment, and wanted to shrink the double-team, but was forced to stop on the spot by Curry's three-point threat.

David Lee's footwork is poor in singles, and his strength is average, but Gobert's lateral movement is also slow. The two are also cautiously probing. There are only 5 seconds left in the blink of an eye. Mark Jackson urges him, and David Lee finally turns forward and starts. .

Seeing this action, Li Yue quietly took a step forward, slightly bent his knees and was ready to exert strength at any time.

David Li Heqiu took two steps in a row, kicked off the ground as if with inertia, and made a small hook sideways to the basket.

Snapped!Gobert looked at the big hat.

The basketball bounced to the right, and Iguodala held it in his hand, and Li Yue rushed forward.

There is only one position advantage, but Curry is only one position short. Li Yue rushed to the three-pointer first, received the pass from Iguodala, kicked, kicked and took three steps, jumped up like a superman taking off, and gliding in the air , scoring with one hand.

The Lakers lead 10-3.

"The Warriors should design more tactics around Curry." Kenny Smith said, "David Lee has no ability to help the team stretch the space. Just now Li Yue chose not to double-team, which has provided sufficient proof."

"Coach Mark should be very upset at the moment." Barkley said, "We all know that if the inside cannot score, the outside will be greatly restricted, and vice versa. The Warriors have a hard power gap, which is difficult to make up for through tactics."

On the court, Curry dribbled the ball to the right wing as before, but instead of passing the ball out, he directly cooperated with Green in a high pick-and-roll, and after one step away from Kobe, he rushed to shoot a super long three-pointer.

The basketball hit the circle and entered the net, and the Warriors chased 6 to 10. The attack took a total of 8 seconds.

Seeing that the shot was made, Curry raised his hands in celebration, gritted his braces, and jumped back to defend.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe dribbled the ball to the right wing, hitting Gobert at the top of the arc, who then divided the left wing.

Li Yue received the ball, bent over and hit the ground, and Gasol took the ball from the waist and hit Green with his back.

Barnes double-teamed without hesitation, and Gasol passed the ball back.Li Yue received the ball in his hand, stepped forward with the ball, and with his half body advantage, he forcibly threw off Barnes' interference, like a spear hitting Huanglong.

Green stood up early to intercept, Gasol took advantage of the situation to cut to the basket, and Li Yue threw the ball high while running.

I didn't think about it, I was too excited to play for a while, the strength was a little too strong, the height of the basketball was flying a little high, and the old Gasol never prepared for an alley-oop dunk. He didn't rush to jump until he saw the basketball flying above the rim.

The two watched the basketball fall into Thompson's hands, and the audience burst into laughter.

The Warriors counterattacked, the Lakers returned to defense across the board, the shortcomings of the big man lineup appeared, and the situation became 3V5.

Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, used Barnes and Thompson to cover successively, abruptly got half of his body space, faced Iguodala head-on to defend, and only took about 0.5 seconds to make a long shot.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Warriors caught up to 9 to 10. D'Antoni got up and walked to the front of the technical table.

The audience applauded and cheered, Kobe caught the ball and advanced in the backcourt, and Li Yue walked side by side.

The two exchanged in low voices, discussing whether it is necessary to start targeting after receiving the ball from Curry. The main reason is that Curry feels too hot and can score with a simple screen. If there is no restriction, it will only be more difficult to deal with later.

This is a foreseeable disadvantage of the big lineup, but I didn't expect Curry to feel so terrifying.

After crossing the center line, the two made up their minds that they must target.

Kobe held the ball and waited in place. Li Yue went straight to the right sideline, cut diagonally to the basket, first set a screen for the oncoming Iguodala, and then used Gobert to cover the outside cut. Er also came down the wall from the top of the arc and screened for him again.

Li Yue rushed to the top of the arc smoothly, and at the same time Gobert moved in the opposite direction to the basket on the right.

Kobe passed the ball, Li Yue received the ball, and successfully attracted the attention of the four Warriors players.Iguodala took the opportunity to run back to the basket, Gobert's positioning screen successfully blocked the chasing Curry, Li Yue made a straight pass and assisted a layup.

Since the start of the game, the Lakers have not had any strong physical contact for scoring, relying entirely on running positions and feints. Not only did they play easily, but they also did not leave the referee with the possibility of severe calls. The game became like a team training.

The Warriors attacked, Curry received the ball and advanced in the backcourt, and Kobe began to press from the center line.

Curry didn't make a fuss, and immediately raised his hand to call for cover, and Green ran up to stand on the fixed wall.

Gasol's defense was delayed, Kobe bypassed and chased, and formed a pinch in the blink of an eye.
But Curry did not choose to pass the ball to Green, who disassembled and went down. Instead, he changed hands and dribbled the ball behind his back, forcing it through the gap between the pincers. The speed was extremely fast and the center of gravity was extremely low. One, run wild like a wild horse.

Seeing this, Li Yue hurriedly called Iguodala to encircle him, but Curry joined the ball in two strides beyond the three-point line to rush for a shot.

The basketball roared and flew, hit the circle with a bang, rebounded with a bang, and fell into the net with a bang.

Curry hit four three-pointers in a row, as if returning to the last game of the regular season, unstoppable!

He roared and beat his chest in celebration, the Warriors bench stood up and worshiped, and the audience was slightly shocked.

Li Yue looked at Kobe, just as Kobe also looked over, the two nodded silently, and reached an agreement in the air.

Kobe brought the ball to the frontcourt, beckoned to Iguodala for a screen, and started the singles Curry tactic.

This time, Thompson did not choose to block left and play right, probably because the Warriors were too short inside, but quickly squeezed through the screen, trying to avoid the formation of a singles situation, but Kobe's offensive level was superb, and he played decisively and forcefully in an instant.

There is no complicated ball control, only the simplest bulldozer-style rolling. Kobe pushed Curry to the free throw line, combined with the ball and started a three-step layup. Green and David Lee, who originally wanted to block, were already blocked in three seconds outside the area.

boom!The basketball bounces into the net.

The Warriors attacked again, Curry scored the ball early from the center line, Thompson took the ball and used David Lee to cover for a shot.

But Thompson's level of ball control was too poor, and his shots were very reluctant, and the result was a bang.

Gobert grabbed a defensive rebound, the Lakers voluntarily gave up the fast break opportunity, and Kobe dribbled the ball to the ground and then hit Curry.

The Warriors didn't arrange to switch defenses, and Curry didn't take the initiative to ask for it. It seemed that protection and protection were not the solution after all. As a result, Kobe really shot with iron, but Gobert was tall and long and easily grabbed offensive rebounds.

After a few passes, Li Yue held the ball at 45 degrees on the right side and moved out of a three-threat position. He was about to hesitate and try it out, but Barnes took the initiative to make physical contact, and even stretched out his hand unscrupulously to press down. .

Li Yue was stunned for a short time, and then he made a strong attack on the ball, closed it in one step, and scored a three-pointer.

Snapped!Barnes slapped Li Yue's wrist with his palm, knocking Li Yue into the air by the way.

The referee didn't blow his whistle. Fortunately, the basketball hit the basket and caught the net. The Lakers led 17 to 12.

Easy side Warriors attack, Curry hits a three-pointer.

The Lakers counterattacked and fell down. Li Yue was so angry that he singled out Barnes again.

He also encountered a close press and was also ignored by the referee.

He was no longer stunned, and directly pulled the ball back, and flew against Barnes to make a strong shot.

The basketball crashed into the net, and the Lakers led 20 to 12.

Turning to the Warriors to attack, after many complicated moves, Thompson caught the ball and rushed to shoot a three-pointer, but it seemed that Curry had used up all his luck.

The audience chanted to give the ball to Li Yue, and Kobe passed it with a smile. After receiving the ball, Li Yue gave up the three-threat posture and forced himself to rush the shot, as if Barnes, a two-meter-long black man, was nothing.

Snapped!The crisp sound of thugs sounded, followed by the sound of a basketball hitting the basket and being caught in the net.

The Lakers lead 23 to 12, the Warriors call for a timeout, and the Staples Center is in a carnival.

Kobe and his teammates rushed up to celebrate with high-fives. Li Yue responded one by one. As soon as he turned his head and was about to return to the bench, he saw Nick Young and Walton rushing towards the referee at the same time.

Li Yue rushed over to take Nick Yang away, while Wharton let him go.

Lakers bench, assistant coach Madsen: "The referee went too far, ignoring such an obvious foul, or three times in a row. I thought they would make a fair penalty since the first foul."

"The times have changed, and three-pointers can still win." D'Antoni smiled, "They can't limit Li Yue."
