I just play ball

Chapter 346
On the court, the entire Lakers retreated collectively. Li Yue gave a thumbs up in the air to express his praise. Kobe responded with a slight smile, showing a kind of shyness when he first entered the league, as if for the big stage of Los Angeles Staples, Both excited and nervous.

Parker took the ball to the right wing and moved to the top of the arc with the help of Duncan's cover. One accidentally hit his leg, and Blake rushed to grab it immediately.

The referee's whistle blew immediately, and the Spurs got the right to the front line. The audience on the sidelines yelled "black whistle". .

Seeing this situation, Li Yue finally understood why Duncan played center at the beginning of the game. It turned out to be convenient for the team to form the strongest lineup in advance. He subconsciously looked at the Lakers bench. Coach D'Antoni also beckoned and arranged for Iguodala to replace him. Blake.

The Spurs took the initiative to seek changes, but the Lakers did not dare to be careless. Both teams regarded each other as their strongest opponents.

Soon, the referee finished the arrangement and blew the whistle to signal the start of timing.

Parker retreated directly to the backcourt, Kobe chose to stay at the three-point line, and the basketball was sent out easily.In a blink of an eye, Parker took the ball to the right wing and passed it to Duncan at the top of the arc.

Leonard took the opportunity to use the screen to go around 45 degrees to the right, and cooperated hand-in-hand with Duncan, who was moving across the face. in front.

The heads-up situation appeared, and the audience cheered and booed loudly. Leonard shook his crotch three times in a row, and with some helplessness he threw the ball to Dior, who was 45 degrees to the left.

Seeing this, Li Yue immediately slid back and walked around Duncan, intending to continue to block ahead.

Unexpectedly, Leonard slammed on the brakes and ran back, and Duncan immediately disassembled and walked inside.

Li Yue rushed out in a hurry, but was covered by Diao who moved laterally, and Landry quickly changed his defense.

Fortunately, Leonard still only swayed under his crotch when receiving the ball, and threw it to the left wing in less than a second. Green received the ball and assumed a three-threat posture. Godara rushed forward.

The weight gap between the two was too large, and Green's speed was not dominant. He barely rushed to the waist, and his technical movements were completely distorted. He had no choice but to join the ball with both hands. Er suddenly stopped and threw.

Snapped!Gasol jumped up, facing the hat like a racket player.

The basketball flew to the top of the arc, and Landry caught it in his hands. While turning his head to observe the formation of the court, he strode forward. Before the blink of an eye, he reached the top of the arc in the frontcourt.

Li Yue happened to follow up to the left wing, leaned over to pick up the basketball, pulled the ball low in front of his body and swayed Dior away, dribbled the ball with his left hand and walked off the line, his shoulders bent over, and he shot straight at the Spurs basket like a bullet, fast and fierce .

Duncan and He double-teamed at the same time. Li Yue jumped up and threw the ball to the right corner against the interference. Iguodala received it, raised his hands high, and then bent down to avoid Parker who was flying towards him. The ball is thrown 45 degrees to the right.

Kobe received the ball, unguarded two meters around him, calmly raised his head to aim at the basket, jumped up steadily and shot a three-pointer.

The audience raised their hands in advance to cheer, only to hear the sound of 'dang', and the basketball hit the basket and hit the iron.

Sighs suddenly sounded from all around the arena, Parker picked up the rebound, turned around and pushed forward.Kobe shrugged slightly, spread his hands and looked helpless, as if to say, "I'm not used to no one defending me", which attracted applause from the audience on the sidelines.

Parker brought the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, shifted to the right 45 degrees with the help of Duncan's cover, patted on the spot and waited for a while, and then moved to the top of the arc with the cover of Dior.

A double-team was formed, and Dior drew back and raised his hands for the ball.Parker then raised his hands to pass the ball, but the basketball flew to the right wing.Leonard also raised his hands high after receiving the ball, and after a probing step, he forcibly lowered his center of gravity and broke through.

Li Yue bent his knees and squatted slightly, chasing after him like a bodyguard, while Gasol intercepted him from the front at the same time.

The two were in charge of the high and low areas respectively. Leonard lost all the space before he joined the ball. He was so frightened that he quickly moved a small half step outward, grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it outward, while throwing the ball to the left corner.

Green received the ball, jumped up without waiting, and scored a three-pointer with a raised hand. When Iguodala gave up shrinking back to the defense, he could only turn his head to watch the basketball fly.

when!The basketball hit the rim and bounced to the right corner.

Li Yue jumped up and caught it, landed on the ground, turned around and ran forward, and came to the right wing in about three seconds. Seeing that only Dior was defending under the basket, he decisively accelerated and rushed in again, and broke through easily with a European step feint. Take off, gliding dunk.

The audience cheered, and the referee blew his whistle to signal the game to enter a TV timeout. The Lakers temporarily led 10-7.

"The Lakers finally have players other than Kobe Bryant score, and the Spurs have not yet scored players other than Duncan." Thomas said, "Although it is not of great symbolic significance, it is enough to show that the Lakers have stronger offensive firepower."

"The Spurs team has a lot of patience, trying to create the most reasonable shooting opportunities every time they attack, which is a bit from a traditional point of view." Miller said, "But facing a team of the level of the Lakers, they are too patient. On the contrary, it is a bad thing, because the Lakers' ability to rotate defense is very strong, as long as someone loses position or misses someone, someone will quickly make up for it."

"Yes, I have noticed this too." Marvin said, "The Spurs have attacked twice in the past, and Leonard got two open opportunities in a row. If it were Lee, there would be a greater probability of taking a long shot, but he chose to break through. , I was double-teamed in a blink of an eye."

"He may also want to shoot." Thomas said, "But coach Popovich doesn't like players taking too many three-pointers, and the other three-pointers are also considered to be low, which is really helpless."

...

On the court, the timeout ends and the game continues.

The Spurs did not make personnel adjustments, and the Lakers arranged for Gobert to replace Gasol.

The referee blew his whistle, Parker caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced, and the other four players of the Spurs settled in a V-shaped formation.

The onlookers shouted defense in unison. Parker brought the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to Diaw with his right elbow.

Almost at the same time, Diaw passed the ball to Duncan who bounced to the top of the arc, and also rushed to the right waist, standing with both feet as a screen.

Parker used the screen to go around 45 degrees to the right, received a pass from Duncan, and strode forward to make a transfer.

At this moment, Li Yue was squatting in the right corner, dumbfounded by the Spurs' long off-ball moves.

What is this doing?
Before he could figure it out, Parker returned the ball and made a breakthrough on the right again. Kobe squeezed through the screen to catch up, and Gobert stayed at the free throw line.Parker forcibly passed the ball to Duncan who split and slid down, and Gobert raised his arms to intercept the interference.

Duncan made a strong move, but Gobert didn't follow suit, and the scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.Green yelled loudly on the left sideline, Duncan hurriedly passed the ball, and Iguodala decisively pressed close to the body, making sudden shots.

But Green just wanted to cast, and he rose up as if angry, and directly knocked Iguodala to the ground.

The referee did not blow his whistle, and a three-pointer went into the net. The Spurs tied 10-10.There were deafening boos in the arena. D'Antoni rushed to the technical table to argue, but the referee on duty turned his head and walked away, as if deliberately ignoring it.

The protest was invalid and the game could not be stopped. The bottom line referee also warned the Lakers to serve quickly. Gobert angrily picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, passed it to Kobe, and the audience chanted LETS GOLA.

Li Yue settled on the right wing, reached out to ask for it, and stood in place after receiving the ball, not in a hurry to determine the pivot foot.

Without focus, there is no bias, Leonard took a small step back, slightly bent his knees and waited.

The two confronted each other for a while, Li Yue raised his hand slowly, so slow that ordinary audiences could see it clearly, Leonard stepped forward at the first time, and then retreated cautiously, as if worried about fake moves, but Li Yue suddenly moved forward with both hands Push, women's shot!
The top of the arc was very low, but the speed was fast. Leonard was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to check.

boom!The basketball hit the backboard and the Lakers led 13 to 10, and the audience burst into laughter.

Li Yue himself felt happy in his heart. Leonard was too nervous, a little suspicious, and was used instead.

The Spurs attacked, Parker dribbled the ball to the right wing, and moved to the top of the arc with the help of Diaw's screen.

Duncan went up to the wall and continued to cover. Parker twisted his hips and hit the free throw line. Facing Kobe and Li Yue's left and right pincers, he forced the ball to start, passed directly through the pinch gap, and rushed to the basket to face Gobert. Divide the ball.

At the same time, Dior rushed to the basket to catch the ball, turned his back to Iguodala, barely made two strong shots, found that it was not working, and could not get space, so he quickly held the ball with his left hand and looked around, suddenly turned 45 degrees to the right long pass.

Landry hurriedly extended his defense, but Green caught the ball and rushed straight into the paint as if with a positioning system. Li Yue and Kobe once again shrunk to close the circle, and Gobert also intercepted it head-on.

For a while, Green was besieged on all sides, but he played the ball calmly and threw the ball from the top of his head to the top of the arc.Li Yue pulled back in time and returned to the defense. Leonard caught the ball and immediately got a super wide open, but he didn't take off a jumper to shoot a three-pointer, but turned and threw the ball to the left wing.

Diaw caught the ball with his hands high and feinted, one step past Iguodala who stepped forward to defend, and then one step to his left elbow.

Li Yue moved sideways and retracted to help defend. Seeing Dior raised his hand, he quickly braked and retreated to defend.That thought, Dior still swayed, started a three-step layup, took off against Gobert, and glided in the air with a small hook to shoot.

Li Yue sighed in his heart. From the beginning, Dior was covering for Parker, and now he is shooting against the defense. The series of actions are too aggressive. He deserves to be flexible and fat. No wonder Popovich attaches so much importance to him. surface.

Before the sigh was over, the basketball flew to the right sideline, and at the same time there was a 'snap'.

The distance is too close, it is difficult to tell whether to see or hear first, a bit like a thunderstorm on a summer night.

The audience cheered loudly, Kobe picked up the basketball and turned around and ran wildly, the Lakers launched a counterattack.While running, Li Yue felt that this operation was as fierce as a tiger, but in the end he was beaten miserably. In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is a paper tiger.

In a blink of an eye, Kobe took the ball to the right wing, stayed in place to observe for a while, and threw it vigorously to the top of the arc.

Gobert catches the ball and turns around and passes to the right 45 degrees. He uses Landry to cover and cuts in, while Li Yue catches the ball and puts on a three-threat posture. After a little testing, he suddenly faces Leonard's defense and makes a strong shot!

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Sighs suddenly resounded throughout the audience, but Gobert rose from the ground like a towering old tree, and made a catch!
Boom!The basketball blasted into the net, and the Lakers led 15 to 10, and the audience cheered.

Li Yue waved his hands across the air to show his appreciation, and Gobert pointed his eyes to show that he saw it.

The Spurs attacked, Green took the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, and passed it to the top of the arc.

Duncan, who followed up, caught the ball and moved sideways to the right, and Parker ran towards him.

Perhaps thinking that the two would do a hand-to-hand screen, Kobe bypassed Duncan first, but Duncan gave up on passing the ball to Parker and threw it to the right elbow. Ball screens.

The entire right half was temporarily emptied. Dior caught the ball and hit Landry with his back. Derry swooped and made a fadeaway shot in the air.

Although this time there was no threat as great as Gobert, but the action itself was very difficult. The basketball hit the front of the rim with a bang, and instead flew into Landry's hands. The Lakers turned around and ran quickly.

Li Yue received the ball from the center line and took it all the way to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Without slowing down, he rushed to the hoop.

The Spurs were surrounded by many people, and Li Yue walked the bottom line, went around the short corner on the left, and hit a long pass to the left wing.

Iguodala who followed up received the ball, made a slight adjustment, and chased for a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, and the Lakers led 18 to 10.

The audience cheered one after another, and the big screen in the center showed Popovich with a calm face.

The Spurs took the lead, and Parker dribbled the ball to start the 'French Car' to advance at a high speed, pushing Kobe to the left waist of the frontcourt.

Kobe did not expect the opponent to suddenly speed up, lost the opportunity to catch up close to him, and was about to lose, but Parker stopped without warning, pulled the ball, turned around and ran out, voluntarily giving up the opportunity to directly attack the rim.

Kobe was slightly stunned, and then followed with a smile, squeezed past Duncan's cover at the top of the arc, and continued to chase closely.Parker struggled to shift to the right waist, but had nowhere to go, so he could only twist his body and throw the ball to the left corner.

Green received the ball, still walked to the bottom line, pushed Iguodala to the basket, forced the basket.It's a pity that after he jumped into the air, his technical movements were completely deformed, and the basketball flew directly over as if he was afraid of falling into the net.

Li Yue picked it up, turned around and pushed forward, and single-handedly rushed to the right wing of the frontcourt. Seeing that Leonard was the only one around, he decisively turned his back to resist the crush, waited for Parker to shrink his defense, and immediately distributed the ball to the top of the arc.

Kobe received the ball, ignored Green's lunge, and pulled out his hand two steps outside the three-point line.

The basketball crashed into the net, and the Lakers led 21 to 10. Popovich requested a timeout, and the audience reveled.

"Do you feel that way?" Marvin said, "The game between the Lakers and the Spurs is like a stage play. Both sides are children of wealthy families. The Spurs have a serious tradition, while the Lakers are flexible and changeable. It seems that restraint is naturally formed. relation."

"That's right!" Miller said, "Both sides are pursuing a beautiful woman named 'O'Brien' at the same time. The Spurs' long-established and preserved rules of doing things are far less attractive than those of the Lakers."

"What you said is too complicated!" Thomas shook his head slightly. "Actually, the Spurs are tactics-oriented, while the Lakers are people-oriented, so creativity is naturally much greater. In fact, the Spurs also have people-oriented conditions, but Coach Popovich seems ..."
