I just play ball

Chapter 325 Easy Solution
"What's wrong with the Rockets?" Breen asked. "They also won two games at the Staples Center in the first round against the Clippers. Why did they play against the Lakers and become like they just learned how to play? basketball?"

"Honestly, I thought the second round of the Western Conference playoffs would be a matchup in the same city in Los Angeles. I never thought that the Rockets would win, but they actually defeated the Clippers strongly, which once made me doubt my understanding of basketball games. behind." Van Gundy sighed slightly, "They only have two problems now, that is, offense and defense."

"Kang Muang!" Brin shook his head and chuckled, "You can't tell bad jokes until halftime."

"Okay." Van Gundy put away his smirk, "The three-guard lineup is seriously lacking in defense. Beverly is known for his enthusiasm, but he is facing Iguodala who often plays off the ball. Although Jeremy Lin has Definitely defensive, but he has no advantage against Kobe, so there is no need to talk about Harden's defense, let alone the unstoppable Li Yue."

"What about the offensive end?"

"The offensive end is even more obvious. From the beginning of the game to the timeout just now, the Rockets only got the ball once. Howard is their only dominant position player. It is equivalent to abandoning the heavy tank and actively using the rifle to face the enemy's Transformers."

"Is there such a disparity?"

"Probably even more exaggerated."

...

The whistle sounded, and the players of the two teams returned to the infield.

The Lakers replaced Gasol with Gobert to further increase defensive rebounding and paint protection.

Li Yue looked at the rocket, and found that the opponent had not changed, and his heart blossomed with joy.

The referee whistled and the Rockets kicked off from the baseline.

Jeremy Lin went all the way to the left wing, waited for a while, and put his hands straight to the bottom line.

Howard caught the ball with his back, sat on his knees and hit Gobert, relying on his strength advantage, forced to squeeze to the basket.

Gobert has never lost his position. Howard made a forward pass and took off, hooking the side to the ring, and deliberately increased the arc.

The basketball hits the top of the backboard, slams into the rim, bounces back and forth, and falls hard into the net.

The Rockets finally scored two points. Nicholson standing on the sidelines stood up and clapped his hands, shouting loudly: "Good job, keep working hard, don't give up, I want to see Li Yue get a high score, you must hold on, come on!"

Beverly glared in displeasure, and Nicholson raised his hands and spread them out, as if to say, 'What can you do to me? '

The Lakers attacked, Kobe took the ball to the left wing, watched for a moment and threw it to the top of the arc.

Landry received the ball and divided it 45 degrees to the right. Iguodala took the ball to the sideline. Seeing this, Li Yue ran from the bottom corner on the right and rushed to the right wing to make a hand-off screen with Bev, who switched defenses. Leigh moved to the top of the arc, and at this time Kobe had already slipped to the basket with the help of Landry and Gobert's double elevator door cover, and Jeremy Lin, who wanted to catch up, was two positions behind.

Li Yue raised the ball to his waist with both hands, and was about to go straight to the basket, when Beverly suddenly slapped his hand, and then retracted like lightning, leaving only burning pain, but the referee didn't seem to notice. No sign of whistle blowing.

This is not the first time or the second time, but several times.

Li Yue became angry, took advantage of the situation and raised the ball above his head, bent his knees and kicked the ground to take off, making a strong shot in two-stage movements.

Beverly jumped up and stretched out his hand to interfere, but only hit Li Yue's chest.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 20 to 2.

Kobe, who was originally suspicious, smiled and gave a thumbs up in the air to express his praise. The audience screamed and cheered.

The Rockets attacked, and Beverly rushed to the right wing with the ball, stayed for a while, and passed it hand to hand.

Jeremy Lin received the ball and waited in a three-threat posture. At the same time, Harden started from the left baseline and circled to the left 45 degrees with the help of Howard.Jeremy Lin passed the ball, Harden caught it, and took advantage of the momentum to rush to the free throw line. Li Yue slid his feet to catch up.

Harden stopped and retreated suddenly, and suddenly threw a high pass. Li Yue subconsciously turned around and saw Howard leaping high.

Boom!With an empty dunk, the Rockets scored another two points.

Gobert raised his hand to signal that he made a mistake. Li Yue waved his hand. It doesn't matter. Presumably, he forgot to defend the bottom line. This kind of mistake is very common for rookie centers. It is probably because the defender in charge did not hold the ball and was careless.

The Lakers kicked off from the bottom line, and Li Yue received it nearby and slowly pushed forward.

After crossing the center line, he saw the Rockets put up a one-on-one defensive formation, and immediately raised his hand to call for a back-up tactic. Seeing this, his teammates ran their positions and quickly left a space in the left half of the court, while Kobe had already locked up his post-up. .

He accelerated to the top of the arc, raised his hand to pass the ball high, Kobe received it, and began to sit hard.

Jeremy Lin retreated again and again, and the situation was one-sided. Parsons shrank his defense when he saw this, and Kobe immediately passed back.Li Yue catches the ball and goes straight to the rim. Out of the corner of his eye, he catches a glimpse of Beverly cutting obliquely to intercept, and decisively stops and jumps and throws.

The basketball hit the net hollowly, but Li Yue was also knocked down in the middle, and Beverly's action was completely unnecessary.The referee didn't blow his whistle, and the audience booed wildly. Li Yue took Kobe's hand and got up, walked straight to Iguodala, and whispered that he wanted to switch defenses.

Yi Ge nodded in agreement, Li Yue turned around and walked to Beverly, spouting trash in a low voice.

Beverly walked away with a face full of disdain, and the two ran to the bottom corner on the right side of the front court, and began to compete in advance.

Kobe and Iguodala have a very good understanding. Both of them adopted a big delay oppression strategy, combined with Landry and Gobert, forcing the Rockets to pass the ball to the right sideline. With the concerted efforts of the four, the Rockets obediently followed suit.

McHale reminded loudly that Beverly gave up entanglement and rushed to the right wing, and Li Yue followed closely behind.

The moment Beverly received the ball, Li Yue teamed up with Iguodala to press down, mercilessly, and went all out.

Snapped!Li Yue slapped the basketball away, and then changed hands behind his back to avoid the angry Beverly's pounce, but Beverly pounced fiercely again, like a mad dog, with a growl in his mouth, it is absolutely impossible not to bite anyone Will not give up.

Li Yue pulled the ball sideways to avoid it, sprinted forward, and suddenly stopped at the center line without warning.

boom!Beverly hit his back, bounced back and sat down on the floor, his eyes blank.

The referee finally blew his whistle for a foul, and the Lakers won the frontcourt sideline ball.

After some arrangement, the referee handed over the ball and blew his whistle, and Gobert threw it into the field with his hands raised high.

Li Yue took the ball at the top of the arc and raised his hand to signal to open the space. The other four teammates retreated to the sideline one after another. The audience stood up and watched. Come grab it.

Beverly wasn't fooled for a while, but he couldn't resist reaching out to grab it after all, like a mouse seeing sesame oil.

Li Yue took advantage of the situation and raised his hand to take off, making a standard and conspicuous shooting action, which could be seen clearly by everyone on the scene.

Snapped!The sound of handcuffs sounded crisply.The other eight people didn't move. There was no reason for the referee not to see it. The whistle sounded and Beverly was called for a foul. Li Yue got two free throw opportunities.

"Trash." Beverly glared angrily, "Bitches and whores deliberately fouled."

"Just learn from your teammates, don't let him hear." Li Yue shrugged, stood on the free throw line facing the cheers of the audience, and hit the first free throw steadily. The announcer informed the Rockets that Terrence Jones replaced Beverly. The crowd booed and celebrated.

After solving Beverly so easily, Li Yue smiled faintly and hit the second free throw hollowly, giving the Lakers a 24-4 lead.

"There is a gap between the two teams visible to the naked eye." Van Gundy said, "This round of the series has a high probability of ending early."
