I just play ball

Chapter 341 Centipede Insect
Amidst the boos of the audience, Li Yue got up with his hands on the ground, and looked up at the big central screen in confusion, just in time to see the video playing. It turned out that Ginobili rushed up from behind and knocked himself down, and the movement was not special. Big, but the irritable expression on Ginobili's face is difficult to conceal, and it is particularly obvious when combined, probably because he has lost too much and it is difficult to control his emotions.

"Hey, it looks like I'm in a hurry to lose, but it's understandable when I think about it. I worked hard to prepare for a summer and a season. I thought I could at least open June 20th, but I was shot [-] points ahead when we first met. I feel sad. .”

"This is the cruelty of competitive sports. It's like the Seoul Olympics in 88. Our national team really went all out, but we just couldn't beat others, and others seemed to be walking around, and they defeated us without breaking a sweat."

The referee raised his hand and gave a free throw for a technical foul. Ginobili didn't make any protest. Popovich pretended not to know it. Instead, taking advantage of the referee's time, he called the Spurs players and explained something mysteriously.

Li Yue slowly stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass and made some adjustments, making a steady hit and adding a penalty.

The announcer announced loudly that the Lakers led 31 to 9, with 4 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Spurs attacked, Parker quickly dribbled the ball to the right 45 degrees, changed hands under the spot and shook for a moment, and then threw it to Ginobili who reached the top of the arc on the screen, and then strode to the right wing to fight for the oncoming Dior as cover.

Ginobili held the ball at the top of the arc and waited for a while. With the help of Duncan's side cover, he bent his shoulders and lowered the center, and took a big step to shift to the left. walk.

There is no defense at the basket, and Ginobili will inevitably pass the pass. Seeing this, Li Yue intends to shrink his defense, because this kind of ball should be defended from the weak side according to the conventional strategy, but at this time, the one who is squatting on the right corner is Livingston, playing against Duncan is free, but Leonard just hit a three-pointer. If there is no defense, there is a high probability that it will be another one.

After thinking for a moment, Covington was about to start off the ground, but Covington moved first and successfully blocked Duncan who was receiving the ball at the free throw line, but Duncan raised his hands high and threw the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line without hesitation. Dayton hurriedly rotated to make up defense.

The overall mobility of the Lakers is very strong, but people's running speed is slower than that of the ball. Dior took the ball and immediately divided it into the right corner.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Spurs chased 12 to 31.

"The Lakers still have a big lead at the moment, but I still have a question. Why do you think the Lakers have to double-team Ginobili? The Spurs have already got several open three-pointers because of this. We know Gobert is tall. High lateral moves are slow, but Ginobili is not Stephen Curry, and he doesn't have the ability to shoot quickly with a little space, why bother?"

"Hey, if we think this way, it's easy to fall into the vicious circle of hindsight. Many times, we can't completely restrict a certain player. We can only choose a more efficient way. Just like defending LeBron, we would rather let him shoot than let him burst. , Switching to the Lakers to defend the Spurs is also the same reason, if Kobe is the point guard at this moment, that is another situation."

The Lakers attacked, and Livingston advanced with the ball. The audience chanted Li Yue's name, and they all stood up to pay attention.

Li Yue received the ball from the right wing and waited in a three-threat position. Gasol went up to the wall to cover.

Seeing Duncan staying in the paint, Li Yue kicked the ground hard, took two strides, and led Leonard to the free throw line. He made an emergency stop and retreated to collect the ball.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, and Li Yue scored 29 points in a row, tying the historical record for scoring in a single quarter of the playoffs!
The big central screen slowly displayed a photo of Slippe Floyd, and the audience cheered and applauded.

The Spurs attacked, Parker dribbled the ball to the right wing, braked to slow down and threw it to Duncan at the top of the arc, and then rushed to the elbow area for a positioning screen.

Ginobili took the opportunity to go around, received a hand-off pass from Duncan who moved laterally, and made a strong three-pointer against Iguodala.

when!The basketball hit the basket and rebounded, and fell into the Nets under the attention of the audience. The Spurs chased 15 to 33.

"Hey, the Spurs seem to be a bit broken now, and they really dare to vote."

"In the past, Mr. Popovich would never allow this kind of ball, but this time there is no chance anyway, so he just throws it freely. It is acceptable to be beaten 2-0 in the away game. If he can steal a game, That’s a lot of money.”

The Lakers attacked, and Li Yue received the ball early in the backcourt and advanced.

The announcer shouted loudly that Li Yue was about to make history. All the big-name stars on the sidelines, all the ordinary audience, even the audience in the high-level VIP box, in short, except for the relevant personnel of the Spurs, all stood up and watched.

Li Yue took the ball to the right wing, slowed down slightly to observe, decisively crossed in front of his body, changed direction and swayed. Seeing that Leonard chose to block the right, he decisively pulled the ball to the left and retreated half a step.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, and the Staples Center cheered.

On the Lakers bench, Kobe took the lead in giving a thumbs up to show his praise. The photo of Slippe Floyd on the central big screen slowly faded out and was replaced by a photo of Li Yue, accompanied by a leaderboard display. He scored 31 points. It ranks first in the history of scoring in a single quarter of the playoffs, followed by famous players such as Slippi, Charles Barkley, and Allen Iverson.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker rushed the ball to the right wing, then turned and threw it to the top of the arc.

Duncan held the ball high and waited, Ginobili rushed to his side to receive the pass, and moved to the left with the help of a screen. The 45-degree position was covered by Dior, and he moved parallel to the inside with Duncan, inadvertently enjoying double screens at the same time.

Perhaps because of this, Covington did not catch up at the first time. Dior took the opportunity to run to the top of the arc, and there was no guard three meters around him. After receiving a pass from Ginobili, he aimed at the basket for two seconds and took off slowly. Take the shot.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Spurs chased 18 to 35.

"Hey, this doesn't feel right, the Spurs are hitting consecutive threes, and the Lakers' lead is shrinking."

"Actually, it's normal. Didn't you say that before the Spurs messed up, now they are at the real level, and they paid the price of Duncan and Parker playing for a long time. I think the Lakers can accept it and have made a lot of money."

The Lakers attacked, and Li Yue took the ball forward again, and the audience still cheered loudly.

All the way to the top of the arc, with the help of Gasol's side cover, he made an emergency stop and then withdrew his hands for two points.

The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, Duncan grabbed the rebound, the Spurs launched a counterattack, Leonard took the ball to the right side of the frontcourt at 45 degrees, and threw it to the wing. Dior catches the ball and makes three strong moves.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, and the referee blew his whistle at the same time, calling for a foul by Covington's thug.

Covington made two mistakes in a row, and his face suddenly became flustered, like a child who accidentally broke a vase.Seeing this, Li Yue stepped forward quickly, patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Don't be nervous, just help the team come back."

Covington nodded in response, and the two men stood under the basket and waited.

The audience booed everywhere, Dior made a steady hit and added a penalty, and the Spurs chased 21 to 35.

With 2 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game, the Lakers requested a timeout, Li Yue went off to rest, and Nick Young came off the bench.

After the timeout, the Spurs also replaced Mills and Splitter, Parker and Duncan.

Without the restrictions of Li Yue, Leonard became a little unsolvable. After the first quarter, the Lakers led 41 to 29.

"Hey, the point difference is only 12 points at the moment. The Spurs are indeed very resilient, but Kobe didn't play just now. After the second quarter, he will definitely lead the team to play. It depends on whether the Spurs can withstand that wave. I am very happy." look forward to."
