I just play ball

Chapter 335 Forty percent time
Since you want to play more pick-and-roll tactics, it is normal to arrange Asik to start. Although Asik himself is a famous butter player, his wide body can provide enough cover for Harden or others to easily get space. .

While thinking about it, Harden began to shake his legs from slow to fast, occasionally raising his shoulders to test, the whole person looked dazzled, Gasol could only adjust his body orientation frequently, but did not dare to take a step to the left or right easily .

Suddenly, Harden pulled the ball to the left, reached the top of the arc in the blink of an eye, stopped suddenly and pulled out a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Rockets tied strongly, and the audience couldn't help applauding.

Kobe stood on the bottom line to catch the ball, and Li Yue stepped forward to communicate in a low voice. The two deliberately slowed down and moved forward slowly.

"They have changed their offensive strategy. We will notify them to change their defensive strategy as soon as possible. Asik and Howard lack long-range shooting ability. For pick-and-roll shots, the priority can be lowered, and a large number of early delays and return defenses are used."

After Li Yue finished speaking, Kobe nodded in agreement, and the two walked towards their teammates separately, ready to find an opportunity to inform.

The whole team settled in a V-shaped formation. Kobe used Gasol's cover at 45 degrees on the right side, strode to the right, rushed to the top of the arc and used Landry's cover, easily throwing off Harden's hard-to-see hard pursuit. In the same way, Asik was singled out at 45 degrees on the left, and after Landry finished the pick-and-roll, he continued to move the wall laterally to cover Gasol and cut to the basket.

Kobe swayed several times in a row, causing Asik to sway left and right like a candle in the wind. After seeing the opportunity, he sprinted to the left and went straight to the bottom line. Asik hurriedly twisted his hips to catch up. The whole person staggered and almost fell.

At this time, Li Yue was squatting in the left corner. Seeing that Parsons hesitated for a while, he rushed up to cover the defense. Pass the ball to Gasol, who is also under the basket.

Howard turned around in a hurry, Li Yue stopped his movement and jumped, faked the pass and made a layup, scoring a smart score.

Li Yue landed back to the defense, told Gasol to adjust his defensive strategy in a low voice, then ran to Parsons and followed closely.

The Rockets attacked, Harden took the ball to the frontcourt, turned and threw it to the right wing, Beverly caught the ball and hung it on the left waist.

Howard put his back on Gasol to catch the ball, clearly intending to launch a personal attack, but Harden did not pass the ball and did not continue to run to take away Iguodala, but stopped in the middle circle and almost sat on his hips. Even after receiving Howard's point, it took at least a second to adjust before he could shoot. Iguodala was enough to return to the defense. Seeing this situation, Li Yue immediately yelled to remind him to double-team.

As soon as the shout came out, Iguodala had already rushed towards Howard, obviously counting it.

Howard was caught in a siege, as if there would be no next time after playing this time, he hurriedly patted the ball to borrow his strength and turned forward, took two strides to the basket, and against Gasol's interference, he forced an elegant big Hook.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.

There were sighs on the sidelines, never expecting Asik to grab a defensive rebound, the sighs turned into screams of excitement, but Asik did not make any adjustments, and immediately jumped up to hit the board after getting the ball, the basketball actually Let go and fall.

Kobe caught the ball in his hands, turned around and pushed forward slowly, slowed down and braked at the center line, and pushed hard to the left sideline.Li Yue dribbled the ball to the right at 45 degrees, beckoned Gasol to set up a wall to cover, got rid of Parsons in just one second, stepped inside the three-point line, saw Howard staying in the paint, and decisively stopped to collect the ball and take off , Head-on Yanye shot two points.

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

The Lakers lead 7-3.

"Why does Harden always give people the feeling that he is an outsider when he doesn't have the ball in his hands?" Mark Jackson said, "If he just ran to the left to take away Iguodala, Howard didn't need to be so anxious to handle the ball."

"Maybe it's because there were too few spectators today, and he wasn't that happy." Van Gundy said, "Of course, he often had similar situations last year and this season, but it wasn't like this when the Thunder played the sixth man."

"It's probably a problem of physical strength distribution. His huge weight makes it difficult to maintain full dedication on both ends of the offense and defense." Breen said, "And his current state is like LeBron, it is difficult to adapt to offense without the ball, and he cannot make changes for a while."

The Rockets attacked, Beverly dribbled the ball across the center line, slowed down and waited at the top of the arc.Harden started from the right wing and used Howard's cover to make an 'Iverson'-style cross-cut, but the speed was a little slow, and he couldn't get rid of Iguodala's close defense.

Beverly had no choice but to hand the ball to Howard, while Harden ran to the top of the arc, rushed to Howard's side, took over the hand-off pass, and used the screen to walk in with his back against Iguodala, ignoring the interception ahead Pau Gasol.

Li Yue laughed at this situation, knowing that whenever Harden used this kind of face-up back, he definitely wanted to make a foul!
He immediately shouted for promotion, and Iguodala hurriedly retreated half a step when he heard the sound, and Gasol also slightly lowered his raised hand, but Harden took off without hesitation, aiming to achieve the goal of gaining space for the shot.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Harden scored 5 points in a row at the start, turned around and ran happily, like a child who was rewarded by a teacher.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe brought the ball to the left wing, raised his hand and called for a high-post double-block tactic.

Seeing this, Li Yue lifted up from the bottom corner and set up a human wall to block Beverly. Kobe took the opportunity to transfer, and was delayed by Parsons' stepping up, but Gasol arrived in time to set up the wall again, and Kobe was able to easily get rid of the defense .

Unexpectedly, Howard rarely chose to follow up to defend, and the Rockets' basket was suddenly unguarded.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue subconsciously rushed forward to block Parsons' pursuit route.At the same time, Gasol tacitly disassembled and cut to the basket, received a lob pass from Kobe at the free throw line, and directly initiated a three-step layup.

Li Yue subconsciously wanted to turn around and go back to the defense. As soon as he retreated to the three-point line, he saw Asik move horizontally to the basket, and then jumped high, like playing volleyball, and slapped Gasol with a "bang". Layup.

Cheers erupted from the Toyota Center, and the basketball flew upside down to a 45-degree position on the left. Li Yue quickly put his back against Beverly, received the ball steadily, and took two steps forward. .

bass!The basketball was caught hollow, and Li Yue scored 9 points in a row.

The Rockets attacked, and Beverly rushed to the right wing with the ball, slowed down and observed for a while, and moved to the left with the help of a screen.

He made a big circle, didn't get a good chance, and turned the ball to the top of the arc.

Asik received the ball and leaned towards Harden, visibly wanting to do hand-to-hand cooperation, but Iguodala stuck to Harden like a shadow, not giving even the slightest space, and Harden himself was unwilling to move a lot. You can only turn around and look for your teammates on the left.

At this time, Parsons used Beverly's cover to get rid of Li Yue and came to the middle circle. Asik quickly passed the ball and went up to the front wall as a screen. Parsons immediately accelerated and Landry was still making a free throw. Line, Li Yue chose to bypass the cover to intercept.

Parsons made a sudden stop to take off, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, which came without warning.

Li Yue didn't have time to defend, so he quickly turned around to check, and the basketball clanged like iron.

Kobe got the rebound, strode forward, rushed to the top of the frontcourt arc, used Gasol to cover and kill the inside lane, moved to the right with Howard and Beverly who switched on you, and finally passed the ball to the cut Gasol under.

Asikti went to the basket to shrink and intercept, Gasol seemed a little worried, and chose to stop and play with his back.One is tall and the other is strong, and they all want to play to their own advantages. Asik tries to block the defense, and Gasol turns around and jumps hastily.

But he didn't shoot, but gave the ball to Landry, who was temporarily unguarded.

Landry took the ball and took off on the spot, holding the basketball high and gliding in the air. Before he could make a shot, Howard lifted into the air like a superman. Call.

Seeing the basketball flying towards him, Li Yue jumped up, grabbed it forcibly, landed on the ground and stepped down the ball, lowered his center of gravity to start the absolute speed, instantly threw away the somewhat dazed Parsons, and made an emergency stop on the left waist.

Swish!The basketball hit the net hollow and scored 11 points in a row.

"It seems that Li Yue is going to respond to the debate about whether he is good enough to be No.1 in the league tonight." Breen said, "The way he adopts is to reduce assists and increase personal points, which is currently close to LeBron's performance in the first quarter last night."

Van Gundy said: "LeBron scored 16 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in the first quarter last night. In Li Yue's current state, he has almost completed the data encirclement [-]%. It depends on whether there will be mistakes and fouls, and the situation in the next three quarters."

"It's too easy for him, after all, he once had a magical record of 37 points in a single quarter." Mark Jackson said, "The most important thing is, I found that even Kobe wanted to help him respond, and all the conditions were in place. .”

The Rockets attacked, Beverly dribbled the ball across the center line, and handed it to Parsons who came up to respond.

Li Yue quickly went around the screen to catch up, but found that Parsons was slowly dribbling the ball on the spot, with his eyes always on the left half.

In order to get more information, he turned his head quickly, and saw Iguodala and Harden playing a chasing game, but there were four players between them, Landry, Asik, Beverly and Kobe. Going to the left or going to the right at the same time, it moves back and forth in the bottom line area, neither can catch it nor get rid of it, forming a stalemate for a while.

After taking a rough look, he looked back and saw that there were 10 seconds left in the attack time.

At this moment, Parsons passed the ball to the left, and Li Yue subconsciously turned his head to look over again.

I saw Beverly go around to the left wing to catch the ball, and Harden, who had rushed to the right side of the basket, suddenly stopped and ran back to the left corner, using Asik to stand in advance to cover, Get rid of Iguodala interference completely.

Beverly passed the ball like lightning, Harden turned around and took off, and made a strong three-pointer against Iguodala.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 8 to 11.

The audience cheered and shouted, and the central large screen flashed back the scoring moment from multiple angles.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe took the ball to the left wing, patted and waited.

Li Yue raised the top of the arc from the left bottom corner, set up a wall to block Asik, and then strode to the right half, while Landry used his cover to run to the low post on the left, with his back against Asik, raise your hand for the ball.

Kobe raised his hands almost at the same time, instantly attracting the attention of all the Rockets, but the basketball flew straight into the paint. Gasol received it, and immediately turned around and threw it to the right wing as if he had been prepared.

Iguodala received it firmly, Harden was still in the right corner, McHale yelled angrily, Parsons hurried forward to defend, and there was no Rockets player to guard Li Yue who was in a wide open.

McHale yelled again, Iguodala passed the ball first, Li Yue received it, took off and shot calmly.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

14 points in a row!
Howard picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, rushed to send it to Beverly, and the Rockets launched a fast break.

But the entire Lakers retreated quickly, setting up a weak defense in the blink of an eye. Beverly had to slow down and walk to the right wing. After observing for a while, he threw the ball to the top of the arc.

Howard, who followed up in the middle, received the ball, moved to the left to 45 degrees, handed it to Harden from the bottom corner with the help of a screen, and set up a wall to block Iguodala.

Harden received the ball like a runaway wild horse and went straight to the free throw line. Kobe immediately moved laterally and contracted, forming a siege with Gasol in the front.Seeing that there was no way to go, Harden slammed on the brakes and hit the ground to the left to pass the ball.

Howard, who disassembled and went down, bent down to catch the ball with difficulty. As soon as he got up, he was surrounded by Gasol and Iguodala. He was so frightened that he chose a defender to turn around and break through, but he spun on the spot and had to throw the ball to the hoop.

Asik wanted to catch it, but the speed was too fast. He hung his hands in the air like a marionette, watching the basketball fly out of bounds.

Li Yue stood at the bottom right corner and witnessed the whole process. He lamented that the Rockets' operation was as fierce as a tiger, but it ended in a mistake. The running tactics that had been established with great difficulty before had been forgotten. For this Lakers team, good thing.

The Lakers attack, Bryant dribbles the ball to the center line, and then throws it to the right wing.

Li Yue caught the ball with his hands hanging on his left waist to protect him, and his eyes signaled Gasol to come up to cover him. At that time, Parsons suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to press him down. Hand three points.

While the basketball was still in flight, he turned around and raised his hands high, imitating Arenas to celebrate in advance.

Feel too hot, confident!
Sure enough, the sound of the basketball being caught was pleasing to the ear.

17 points in a row!
The Lakers took a 9-point lead, the referee whistled to stop the game, and the Rockets requested a timeout.

The Lakers bench celebrated wantonly. Nick Young rushed into the field and bowed down to worship Li Gao with his hands up. Kobe and Iguodala clapped his shoulders to encourage each other. win.

"Let me see how long this quarter has passed?" Van Gundy adjusted his glasses, "There are 7 minutes and 12 seconds left, which means that Li Yue only used about 40.00% of the time to almost tie LeBron's first place last night. Festival's stunning performance?"

"So, Li Yue won with a crushing posture?" Brin said, "It should be difficult for opponents to find other excuses."

"Hehe." Mark Jackson chuckled slightly, "It's too simple to say, for example, the Rockets are a team with poor defense, and they didn't deploy defense against Li Yue, so it's easier to score."
