I just play ball

Chapter 339
The Spurs attack, Parker catches the ball from the bottom line and slowly advances, and the other four players are placed in a typical V-shaped formation.

Li Yue squatted in the right corner, seeing the opponent standing in such a position, he felt excited, because the Spurs tried their best to seek changes, which made it difficult for their own team to guess their specific strategy. It was this kind of challenge that was interesting, and it was a long-lost expectation.

While thinking about it, Parker ran across the middle circle with the ball, bent his knees immediately, and swayed the ball frequently. It was difficult to distinguish the direction of his possible breakthrough for a while.

Kobe switched defenses and went up, lowered his center of gravity and stretched out his hand to press down. Parker had no choice but to pull the ball back, while Green withdrew the screen, turned and ran to the right, and used Splitter's screen to shake off Blake and help free up space at the top of the arc.

Parker sank his shoulders and accelerated, facing Kobe's defense to 45 degrees to the left, and cooperated with Splitter who moved laterally.Kobe quickly twisted his hips to the side, ready to seize the position in advance, but Parker feinted and shifted to the left wing sharply.

Gasol hurriedly switched defenses to intercept, but the open space was too big, and Parker jumped up without hesitation.

when!The basketball hit the edge of the rim, rebounded and fell suddenly, and Duncan and Landry reached out to grab it at the same time.

The basketball was forced to fly out of bounds, and the baseline referee blew his whistle and raised his hand to signal the Spurs to get the ball in the frontcourt.Landry nodded again and again to show that the penalty was correct, and the audience booed habitually to express their dissatisfaction, and there were even a few shouts of "garbage referee".

All the Spurs moved one after another. Green stood in the center circle, Parker stood in the middle of the free throw line, Leonard stood under the basket on the baseline, Splitter stood on the left waist, Duncan stood outside the bottom line, and the referee held the ball with one hand and took Put the whistle to your mouth.

Seeing this formation, Li Yue made a judgment in his mind. Most likely, he followed the same routine as the baseline ball tactic he had arranged before, and immediately shouted at Gasol: "Pay attention to your own people, don't rush to switch defenses."

When Gasol heard the words, his eyes suddenly showed a little confusion, but he nodded firmly to express his understanding.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle.

Split mentioned the elbow area as a positioning screen. Parker ran past him, Blake squeezed to catch up, and Gasol stayed put.

Snapped!Green pegboard hat.

There was a rush at the basket, and in the chaos, Duncan quietly succeeded. He walked along the sideline to the edge of the frontcourt paint area, turned around and passed to Green who followed up on the right wing, and at the same time raised his hand and shouted to control the rhythm, obviously to be patient. Organize the attack.

But Kobe refused. He leaned close to Green, first blocked the adjustment space below the knee, and then stretched out his hand to interfere with the buffer space above the shoulder, as if in response to the previous block, aggressive and powerful.

Green looked for space one after another. Seeing Duncan raised up to cover, he hurriedly pulled the ball to the left, as if preparing to get rid of it.

In the blink of an eye, Kobe bowed and swooped at the exposed basketball, making a steal.

"OH YEAH!" Cheers resounded in the arena, Li Yue followed up from the top of the arc, and the two launched a double-line fast break.

Kobe rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, still facing Green's defense, took three strong steps as if he had taken the reassurance of the second lesson, jumped into the air and glides gracefully, and took the first shot to pick the basket, the whole person fell from the air at the same time, staggered and almost fell fall.

The basketball fell, the referee blew his whistle, called Green for a pushing foul, and gave Kobe two free throws.

"That's right!" Yang Yi clapped his hands and echoed, "If the NBA decides to write a defensive guidebook for rookies one day, Kobe's defense just now will definitely be included as a case. Bold, just perfect."

"The two teams set the tone at the beginning, and this Western Conference finals game is a strong dialogue." Zhang Lili said, "If it is still the intensity of the Rockets, even if you win the championship, it doesn't mean much, do you think so? "

"That's for sure. Only a great opponent can create a classic game. The Lakers dynasty needs a strong whetstone."

Just thinking about it, Duncan mentioned on the right elbow to catch the ball, and with that, Splitter went straight to the basket with the help of Parker.

CCTV commentary seats.

"Hey, you said Li Yue is really daring to shoot." Zhang Lili gave a thumbs up, "If this ball is replaced by a domestic...ordinary player, there is a high probability that he will hesitate for a while, and the chance will definitely be lost."

"That's right!" Yang Yi nodded, "But we all know that the 23 zone defense is most afraid of fast transmission, because it will easily cause the defensive players to be exhausted. If the shooting percentage is still high, then the zone defense is for nothing."

"Well, speaking of this, according to common sense, Popovich must know that the Lakers have a high shooting percentage from the outside," Zhang Lili expressed doubts, "and there are passers like Kobe and Li Yue, and the use of a defensive formation is helpful." It’s so incomprehensible.”

"You're telling the truth." Yang Yi put away his smile, "And the previous substitution, I was very surprised why Belinelli was placed on the field 2 minutes after the start of the game. This is completely unplayable. Just now Kobe's strong defense scared me. He was in a panic, and Green couldn't defend against Li Yue one-on-one, could it be that he changed for the sake of change, just to prevent the Lakers from guessing the strategy?"

"It's hard to say!" Zhang Lili shook his head slightly, "After all, he is a legendary coach, let's see more."

"I can see it clearly." Zhang Lili said, "Popovich's series of strategies can be said to be in chaos."

"Then let me say something bold." Yang Yi smiled, "A player of Belinelli's level simply cannot play such a high-intensity confrontation game. The Spurs must persist in bayonet fighting to win. It's all in vain in front of the Lakers!"
