I just play ball

Chapter 393

On the field, the Warriors attack.

Curry dribbled the ball across the center line, raised his hand to Thompson on the right wing, and ran left along the free throw line.

Green took Thompson's pass at the top of the arc, and then turned back to pass back to the left 45-degree three-point line, where Curry happened to be.

"This is the Spurs' classic offensive approach. As Popovich's disciple, Cole seems to have a reference." Li Yue followed Luol Deng, running from the bottom line to the top of the arc, knowing that the Warriors wanted to pull away. basket space,

Bogut's singles, which is convenient for the left waist, is a typical Spurs routine.

Sure enough, Curry caught the ball and immediately passed it in, and Bogut caught the ball and hit Jokic with his back.

At the same time, Luol Deng suddenly turned around, and with the help of Thompson's cover, he ran back to the bottom line.

Li Yue was happy in his heart. This kind of low-end tactics can only be used to deal with the Rockets' team that lacks communication on the defensive end. He doesn't have to say anything. Just relying on the tacit understanding formed in the past two seasons, Kobe will take the initiative to switch defenses and catch up. Luol Deng simply wanted to eat PEACH.

Just thinking about it, Kobe twisted his hips to catch up, rushed to the basket ahead of time, stood sideways against Luol Deng, raised his left hand high and spread his right hand evenly, and interfered with the receiving space with all his strength.Luol Deng pushed hard, but his low-post confrontation ability was not as good as the veteran Kobe, so he had to run out resentfully, pretending to open up space.

Seeing that the pass was hopeless, Bogut immediately bent his knees and hit Jokic with his arms crossed, like a college student bullying a high school student, squeezing hard.

Considering that the Warriors have a high three-point shooting rate, the Lakers will strictly implement the pre-match strategy and have not carried out any defense.

In this way, Bogut, relying on his weight and strength, forcibly squeezed into the paint area, and put his hands up against Jokic to put the basket.

The basketball smashed into the net, and the Warriors caught up to 4 to 7.

The audience cheered and applauded. Jokic showed a little frustration, but he was much more relaxed than the first game, and he probably got used to it.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe dribbled the ball to the right 45 degrees, passed it to Covington at the top of the arc, and strode towards the short corner on the right.

On the other side, Clarkson received the ball from the left wing and waited with his arms folded.

Kobe made an emergency stop and ran back, using Covington's down cover to run back to the top of the arc, received a pass from Clarkson, and then used Covington's cover to break through on the right sideline.The Warriors double-teamed, Covington cut inside, received the ball from Kobe, and was intercepted by Green's back defense just as he was about to start.

The Lakers' offense suddenly stagnated. At this moment, Jokic took the initiative to start from the basket and rush to the free throw line. After receiving the pass, he turned around and shot a hook through Bogut.

Swish!Hollow into the net, 9 to 4.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Jackson's tone was slightly excited, "Green's defensive ability has improved significantly compared to last season, but Jokic, as a rookie, is also very good at reading the game. Just now, as long as he

One second slower, Bogut will react and completely lose the score.Chance. "

"That's why they were reused," Van Gundy said. "Both are second-round picks. It's an inspiring story."

The Warriors attacked, and Curry took the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, patted on the spot and waited.

Thompson started from the right wing, with the help of Green's cover, briefly shook off Kobe, rushed to the top of the arc, received the pass and went straight to the inside.

Kobe wanted to squeeze past the chase, but Green moved his feet again, blocking the way abruptly.

Walton yelled from the sidelines: "Moving screen, violation!"

The referee ignored it, Thompson rushed to the free throw line smoothly, made an emergency stop and pretended to bluff Jokic, but actually took two steps in a row and vacated to pick the basket.

Swish!Hollow into the net, 9 to 6.

Li Yue was a little surprised, thinking in his heart that Thompson's offensive ability with the ball seemed to have improved. Could it be that he wanted to develop in the direction of Kobe, not Redick?
Before thinking too much, Clarkson dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, using Jokic to cover and break to the right.

Seeing this, Li Yue bent his knees and squatted slightly, ready to catch the ball for a layup at any time. Unexpectedly, Clarkson used Covington's cover to cut into the inside line and faced the three Warriors alone.He was about to lament 'a lot of courage, but a lack of resourcefulness' when Clarkson stopped the layup, twisted his body in the air, and passed the ball back from the top of his head.

The posture was too weird, except for Covington who was closest to him, the other players of the two teams did not react, and Covington caught the ball and took off, facing the basket and throwing.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 11 to 6.

"It seems that Clarkson also has the potential to become a magician..."

"It's absolutely impossible. He was just forced to helpless just now, like a blindfolded Tom who met a fainted Jerry..."

The Warriors attacked, Curry received the ball in the backcourt, quickly brought it to the right wing, and broke through with Bogut's cover.

The Lakers' defensive formation has not yet been fully formed, and Jokic had to bite the bullet and switch to defend and intercept, but his pace was too slow to interfere, and he had to rely on Clarkson to catch up.Bogut took the opportunity to cut inside, and Curry hit the ball behind his back. Bogut hurriedly bent down and reached out to catch it, but only caught a handful of air, and the basketball rolled out of bounds.

The referee whistled for a violation and gave the Lakers the ball in the backcourt. Curry spat out his braces, smiled awkwardly, and strode forward.

"It's okay to make a mistake, but Curry's pass just now, compared to Clarkson's previous pass, gives people a big difference..."

"That's the way Stephen Curry's game is, he's fluid, he's unpredictable, he's also prone to mistakes."

The Lakers attacked, Clarkson took the ball to the right wing, bowed and patted and waited.

Kobe ran from the side, rushed to the right waistline, got stuck with his back, and raised his hand for the ball.

Seeing this, Li Yue started running from the left wing, ready to go to the top of the arc, to provide Kobe with a chance to score the ball. He just moved two steps, and saw Bogut shrinking towards the basket. His eyes and movements clearly intended to pinch Kobe. Jokic who emptied the top of the arc.

Considering that Jokic has a certain three-point ability, Li Yue immediately waved and shouted: "To joker..."

Clarkson hesitated for a moment, threw the ball sideways to the top of the arc, and looked at Kobe apologetically, as if to say: Boss, I am very difficult.

And Jokic received the ball, stepped on his feet and shrugged without hesitation, and raised his hand to make a wide open three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 14 to 6.

"My God!" Jackson yelled, "This fat center can actually shoot three-pointers. He feels very soft and passes the ball so well. He is simply a tall version of me. He will have a bright future..."

"You're too confident, aren't you?" Van Gundy laughed. "But it's normal for you. After all, you are the one whose team trails by 27 points, hits a layup, and can shout 'we are unstoppable'... "

The Warriors attacked, Curry caught the ball and advanced in the backcourt, and suddenly raised his hand and made a long pass from the center line.

The basketball whizzed and flew, and landed on the left waist. Bogut caught the ball and turned his back to Jokic, holding his hands high and waiting.

Curry rushed to the left sideline, pretending to receive a pass back, but actually stopped and ran back, using Thompson to cover and run to the top of the arc.

This is a commonly used move in the Princeton system. It seems to be borrowed by Cole and integrated into the Warriors' existing system. However, the Lakers have played it before. Although they didn't play it well, they are very familiar with it. thompson.

Clarkson reacted and hurried to catch up with Curry, and the Warriors' first offensive attempt was blocked.

Seeing that there was no hope of passing the ball, Bogut turned to face the basket with his left foot as the pivot, swayed a bit, and slammed the ball across the bottom line.

Jokic chased sideways, and at the same time raised his right hand to block the shooting space. Bogut stopped and turned around and shot with a hook.

But such a gorgeous low-post footstep is extremely poorly matched with Bogut, the whole movement is completely deformed, and the shot is also hitting the basket.

Clarkson picked up the basketball and rushed forward, trying to implement the fast break strategy formulated before the game, but the Warriors returned to defense extremely quickly.

Perhaps it was because of the previous difficult legend that greatly improved his confidence, and he was about to reorganize the attack. Clarkson suddenly hit the ground with a long pass. It seemed that he wanted to pass to Kobe, who was on the right waist, but the rebound angle of the basketball was too low, and Kobe was too late. Bend down to pick it up.

Li Yue raised his hands and applauded, wanting to encourage Clarkson to continue to try bravely, the referee blew his whistle and called Thompson for a push foul.

There were boos all over the scene, and Cole was so depressed that he put his head in his hands, how could he give the opponent an offensive opportunity in vain.

Kobe smiled, how can a mistake turn into the baseline ball in an instant?
Taking advantage of the referee's arrangement, Li Yue took Jokic to discuss with Kobe, and worked out specific tactics in three seconds.

The players of the two teams took their positions one after another, the referee blew his whistle, and Li Yue started running from the left bottom corner and went straight to the basket.

The Warriors' defensive attention instantly focused on the basket. Kobe started from the middle of the free throw line, covered by Jokic, came to the short corner on the right, received a pass from Covington, turned around and took off, ignoring Thompson's lunge, and leaned back in the air shoot.

Swish!Hollow into the net, 16 to 6.

"The ball was not defended. It's not that the Warriors are too weak, but the Lakers are too strong. Five players on the field can shoot from the three-point position. The Warriors must pay attention to everyone. It is very difficult to defend off-ball screens. "

"Already trailing by 10 points, the Warriors need Steph to step up and respond."

On the court, Curry took the ball to the right 45 degrees, passed it to Green at the top of the arc, and rushed into the paint with Bogut's cover.

Green caught the ball and moved to the right, handed it to Luol Deng, and continued to run to the right.

At the same time, Luol Deng took the ball to the left 45 degrees, handed it to Thompson, and the wall was delayed by the way.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Green slammed on the brakes and formed a double screen with Bogut, and Thomp took off among the three.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 16 to 9.

Li Yue turned around and ran to the frontcourt, feeling in his heart that the Warriors' offensive cooperation is smooth and smooth, and they must have practiced hard in the off-season. If they are in the playoffs, the difficulty of winning is much higher than last season, and they haven't seen Luol Deng yet. brilliant.

After thinking about it, Kobe and Covington formed a pick-and-roll cooperation.

Thompson and Green decisively pinched, Covington took the opportunity to cut, received a pass from Kobe, and directly started a layup.

Bogut stepped forward to intercept, barging his teeth and waving claws to interfere with the shot space, Covington chose to pass the ball with a low hand.

The idea is very good, but the skill is not in place, and the ball is thrown out of bounds by accident.

The referee blew his whistle and gave the Warriors the right to the ball in the backcourt, and the audience cheered and applauded.

Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and continued to shake his crotch. The referee suddenly whistled and called Thompson for a cover foul.

The boos from the audience had not disappeared, and immediately turned into boos. Cole shook his head helplessly, signaling Barbosa to come on and replace him.

Li Yue walked up to Clarkson, covered his mouth and said, "Barbosa's defense is biased, you can cooperate with Kobe more."

Clarkson nodded, raised his hand to receive the ball, strode forward across the halfway line, and passed it directly to Kobe.

Seeing this, Jokic stepped forward to cover, and Kobe almost got rid of Barbosa in one step, making an emergency stop and making a mid-range shot.

when!Smashing baskets and striking iron.

Green grabbed the rebound, advanced one-stop to 45 degrees on the right side of the frontcourt, and then passed to the top of the arc.

Bogut received the ball and moved to the left, then passed the ball to Curry, who was oncoming, and took advantage of the situation to set up a wall as a screen.

Curry received the ball and accelerated, rushed to the free throw line in a blink of an eye, faced Jokic, and calmly took off to make a mid-range shot.

Swish!Hollow into the net, 16 to 11.

"This time the fast break is also smooth. The key point is that Green initiated it. His proficiency seems to have been playing as a point forward for several years. The Warriors are very likely to become opponents in the Western Conference Finals."

Clarkson took the ball to the right wing, used Jokic to cover, and made a strong breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, Curry bypassed the cover, blocked the way first, and jumped up to interfere.

The two confronted in the air, Clarkson deformed his movements, failed to complete the shot, and hurriedly passed the ball to Jokic outside the three-point line.

At this time, Li Yue squatted to guard the bottom corner on the right side. Seeing this situation, he took a big step and ran out.

Luo Erdeng stepped on small steps and chased laterally, Li Yue stopped abruptly, twisted his hips, and ran back to cut the inside line.

Jokic tacitly pushed straight to the bottom line, Li Yue received the ball, kicked off the ground, and forced the basket against Green.

boom!The two collided in the air, Li Yue fell backwards, and the basketball hit the basket and was caught.

The referee blows his whistle to indicate that the goal is valid and an additional penalty will be given.

Green shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to emphasize his innocence. The audience booed wildly, and Li Yue took Clarkson's hand and stood up.

"The Warriors should pay attention to foul control, especially Green and Thomp, the two main defensive players." Jackson said, "In today's league, there is no team that can rely entirely on offense to defeat the Lakers."

"Totally agree, and I suggest that the Warriors try to give Kobe an easy chance to catch the ball when defending. This is a better option than scoring with all the Lakers. If Kobe's shooting touch is too bad, he will even get positive feedback."

On the court, Li Yuejia made a free throw, 19 to 11.

The Warriors attacked, Curry quickly dribbled the ball forward, rushed to the right wing in more than three seconds, did not cover, and rushed.

Clarkson hurriedly twisted his hips to catch up, but Curry suddenly stopped and retreated four steps, and pulled out from a long distance from beyond the three-point line.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, 19 to 14.

The audience cheered and shouted, the Lakers bench yelled 'walk', but the referee did not blow his whistle.Li Yue also waved his hand to stop making trouble. Curry only seemed to retreat 4 steps in a row. In fact, two steps were very confusing dribbles, similar to worshiping Buddha.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, handed it to Jokic, rushed to the left waistline, and held Barbosa with his back.

Jokic passed the ball back, Kobe hit hard and turned back deftly, but Green suddenly made a steal from the baseline.

Curry received the ball, fought back to avoid Clarkson, took two strides across the center line, and shot a super long three-pointer without warning.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 19 to 17.

The Oracle Center resounded with cheers, and Li Yue took the initiative to ask for the ball and slowly pushed forward.

Considering that the Warriors are about to rise and must respond, Li Yue walked to the top of the arc and raised his hand to signal the audience to pull away.

Luol Deng bent his knees and posed in a half-squat with his hands outstretched, and the audience booed and cheered wildly.

Li Yue shook his hands under his crotch, seeing that Luo Erdeng hadn't made any adjustments, he pulled out decisively.

when!Smashing baskets and striking iron.

Green grabbed the rebound and made a pass from the left sideline. Curry received it and ran towards the frontcourt.

Li Yue turned around to catch up, ready to cut diagonally, but never expected that Curry made another super long three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 19 to 20.

Warriors overtake!

Curry roared into the sky, the cheers at Oracle Center were deafening, and the Lakers called for a timeout.
