I just play ball

Chapter 395

After the intermission, the game between the two teams continued.

Li Yue put on a towel and sat on the bench, watching Luo Er Deng's various performances, the Warriors narrowed the point difference one after another, for a full 3 minutes.

He took the initiative to apply to play, but D'Antoni asked for a little more rest. The reason was that the playing time in the first quarter was too long and the risk of injury must be considered.

But D'Antoni did not dare to limit Kobe, who also played the first quarter. Of course, there is also a reason because Bazemore's hand is too poor, and it is difficult to catch up with Thompson on the defensive end.

After finally waiting for a foul free throw, Li Yue came on the field to replace Iguodala, and the score has been chased to only 4 points ahead.

The Warriors sent Curry, and the two teams returned to the situation in the first quarter. You come and go, and each other scores.

Relying on Kobe's many difficult layups against the defenders, the Lakers led 61 to 57 after half the game.

The whole team returned to the locker room, and D'Antoni made a halftime summary, most of which were basic common sense.

Li Yue didn't want to listen too much. He observed his teammates boredly, and found that Kobe had shown painful expressions on his face many times, as if he was enduring something. Thinking of Kobe's past forcible battle with injuries that made his injuries aggravated, he hurriedly asked and asked for medical treatment with the team. group to check.

Garivetti made a rough inspection and thought it was a problem with the right shoulder rotator tendon, which may have been caused by those difficult layups. As for whether there is a strain or other problems, it needs to be tested by technical means, and it is best to go to the local hospital.

With such a conclusion, D'Antoni immediately made a decision to arrange for Kobe to truce in the second half.

Nick Young was missing before, even if Gasol truce, the team rotation was not greatly affected, but now there is one less Kobe, the team rotation is suddenly stretched.

The coaching staff discussed for a long time and arranged for Li Yue to be the shooting guard to play the second half with Bazemore. Covington and Beasley were in charge of the small forward position, and Iguodala was in charge of the two positions.

Even so, there are only two players at the power forward and center positions.

Fortunately, the Lakers have very few fouls in the half, and as long as they plan reasonably, they can fully meet the needs of the game.

After the discussion, there are only 5 minutes left in the halftime break.

Li Yue led the team back to the stadium. Many Chinese and foreign student fans shouted his name loudly. He asked the fans to wait until after the game and promised to sign autographs and take pictures. Instead, he stepped up time for shooting warm-ups. running position.

ESPN commentary seats.

"We just received an official notification from the Lakers that Kobe Bryant was detected to have a right shoulder tendon injury and will miss all games in the second half." Breen said, "The two think this will bring to the game influential?"

"For the Lakers, the offensive options are greatly reduced," Jackson said, "If the Warriors adopt targeted defense, the game is very likely to become Li Yue's personal show, and the probability of this game becoming a classic will greatly increase."

"So you think that the Warriors will not double-team Li Yue, but will only guard against others." Brin asked.

"Yes, because the shooting percentage of other Lakers players is higher than the average level, double-teaming Li Yue may lead to a collapse." Jackson said, "Defending Li Yue alone is easier to control the rhythm of the game, and may even encounter Li Yue feeling cold."

"I agree with Mark," Van Gundy said. "Even if it's Michael Jordan at his peak, he can't dominate the game alone."

With the sound of the whistle, the second half of the game between the two teams officially started.

Lakers lineup, Marshall, Li Yue, Covington, Landry, Jokic.

Warriors lineup, Curry, Thompson, Luol Deng, Green, Bogut.

The referee whistled, and Marshall caught the ball in the backcourt, took it all the way to the right wing, and then turned and threw it to the top of the arc.

Jokic received the ball and waited with his hands raised high. At the same time, Li Yue started from the left wing and strode towards the ring, preparing to switch to the right half along the baseline and then use the screen to escape.

Perhaps because he had just signed a four-year, $4 million contract, Thompson was determined to prove that he was worth it, and he worked extremely hard to catch up with Li Yue, never falling behind by even half a body.

Li Yue felt that it was too difficult to catch the ball, so he stopped abruptly and changed direction decisively. Taking advantage of the time when Thompson's inertia was difficult to reverse, he forcibly opened up two body distances and returned to the left wing.

The audience on the sidelines noticed the clue and yelled to interfere. Li Yue took the pass from Jokic, took off and fell back, ignoring Thompson's lunge, and made a difficult shot by two points.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, 63 to 57.

Thompson shook his head again and again, as if he felt a little embarrassed that he was dealt with by the simplest counter-run.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, patted and waited on the spot, while Thompson, Green, and Luol Deng were in the short corner on the left, setting up walls to cover each other.

The Lakers couldn't find the point of defense for the time being, Green took the opportunity to rush to the top of the arc, and Luol Deng strode to the right half.

Hand to hand, Curry sprints to the short corner to the left, setting up a screen for Thompson.

Green, on the other hand, shifted to the right and also handed over the ball.

Luol Deng received the ball at the 45-degree three-point line on the right, then rushed to the top of the arc, and passed it to the oncoming Thompson, blocking Li Yue who was trying to catch up.

Considering Thompson's excellent three-point ability, after bypassing the screen, Li Yue jumped directly on the ground and raised his right hand to interfere.

There was only a slap, and the basketball that was originally flying into the air fell straight down like a rocket that had suddenly encountered a malfunction.

Li Yue turned his head subconsciously, saw Covington catching the basketball with both hands, and immediately stepped forward sideways.

Covington passed the ball tacitly, Li Yue caught it at the LOGO position, lowered his center of gravity and ran forward.

Suddenly, among the Warriors, only Luol Deng reacted and rushed to the free throw line first.Seeing this situation, Li Yue pretended to cut to the left, confirmed that Luo Erdeng moved the center of gravity accordingly, and immediately pulled the ball to the right, sacrificing a European step change direction, and suddenly completed the breakthrough.

Just as he took off and shot, Thompson hit his arm like a missile.

when!The basketball hit the rim and rebounded and was caught.

The referee blew his whistle at the same time, raised his hand to indicate that the goal was valid, and gave an additional penalty.

The audience booed, and Thompson got his third foul, which would have a greater negative impact on the Warriors' next rotation.

Li Yue celebrated with high-fives with his teammates in the center and made an easy hit and penalty, helping the Lakers lead 64 to 57.

Bogut picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, and threw it into the court, and the Warriors pushed for a fast break.

Curry dribbled the ball all the way to the left wing. Before the Lakers had established a defensive formation, he directly relied on Green to cover and break through at full speed.

Marshall was unable to catch up, and Landry switched defenses to intercept.

Curry buried his head and rushed to the basket on the right, facing Jokic's interference, and forced a jump to hit the board.

when!The basketball hit the basket and fell, Li Yue jumped up and caught it in his hand, and rushed forward after landing.

I never thought that just after taking a step, the referee blew his whistle and called Jokic for a foul by the thug.

"Go to hell!" Li Yue threw the ball on the floor casually, cursing in Chinese.

How could he have already grabbed a defensive rebound and started a fast break, so he called a defensive foul.

If you want to control the field, just say it, it's better to call an offensive foul!
The referee seemed to have heard this sentence, but he was not [-]% sure. He stared at him with a stern face, picked up the basketball and walked away resentfully.

The Warriors had the ball, and the audience applauded and cheered. Luol Deng stood outside the boundary and waited for preparations.

The referee blew the whistle, and Curry started running from the left corner, covered by Bogut to the left wing, received the pass and moved to the right.

Li Yue turned his head to observe, Thompson suddenly started, he had to twist his hips to catch up, but was blocked by Green who had made a back cover in advance.

Landry hurriedly switched defenses to catch up, but Curry took the first step to hang a pass to the basket. Li Yue knew that he would not be able to catch up, so he shouted for defense.

Jokic contracted almost at the same time, but unfortunately it was still a step late. Thompson took the ball and took off, and the defensive lever hit the board.

The basketball rebounded into the net, 64 to 59.

The Lakers attacked, Li Yue caught the ball from the bottom line and advanced, and the audience shouted defense in unison.He walked to the right wing, raised his hand and passed to Landry, who was raised 45 degrees to the right, and rushed to the bottom corner on the right, setting up a human wall to block Curry for Marshall.

Marshall took the opportunity to rush to the right 45 degrees, received a hand-off pass from Landry, twisted his hips and rushed to the free throw line, but Curry took advantage of this time and directly bypassed the screen to block the way.

Marshall's physical confrontation was weak, and Curry, who was unable to break through the defense, quickly threw the ball to the right sideline.

In a panic, the accuracy of passing the ball is slightly less sure, and the basketball is flying so high that it will go out of bounds no matter how you look at it.

Li Yue felt ruthless in his heart, kicked off the ground vigorously, grabbed the ball forcibly and gave it only to you, and landed in a three-threat pose.

The other players of the two teams automatically opened up the space as if they had reached a consensus. The audience cheered and booed, and the heads-up situation was completely formed.

With his left foot as the axis, Li Yue held the basketball high with both hands, stepped out with his right foot in the air, and tried to cross and change directions to break through, but Thompson immediately moved sideways for half a step and blocked the way first.

Li Yue retracted his right foot, bent down to lower his center of gravity, and swept forward with both hands holding the ball, trying to break through with the ball, but Thompson twisted his hips and slid half a step in an instant, blocking the space in advance.

Li Yue gathered his right foot, bent his knees and kicked on the ground, and dribbled the ball with his left hand to move outward, trying to retreat and start a breakthrough, but Thompson took a step forward and forced himself to catch up.

The audience cheered and screamed, applauding Thompson's tough defense,
But Thompson's center of gravity tilted too much forward, and it was too late to recover.

Li Yue leaned forward in the opposite direction, took advantage of the ground to turn around, took two steps in a row, stopped suddenly to take off, and leaned back.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 66 to 59.

Thompson gritted his teeth and clapped his hands, as if annoyed that he failed to complete the last step. Li Yue ran forward calmly, and the Oracle Center fell into a brief silence.

"AMAZING!" Van Gundy yelled, "Top offensive footwork, top defensive footwork, two people fighting wits and courage, and the outcome is in the blink of an eye."

"Li Yue just turned into Kobe completely, and his movements are almost exactly the same," Jackson said, "If there is software to extract the two people's movement trajectories, the coincidence degree will definitely be as high as 90%."

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the right wing, moved to the top of the arc with the help of Green's cover, and then used Bogut's cover to break through.

The Lakers double-teamed back and forth, and Bogut made an air cut and went down to catch the ball, facing Landry's defense, stepping up and throwing.

The basketball crashed into the net, 66 to 61.

The Lakers attacked, Marshall dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, bowed and patted and waited.

Li Yue rushed up to take over the pass, twisted his hips and hit the inside line, knocking Curry head-on.

The referee whistled for an offensive foul. Li Yuemeng circled for half a second, stopped, dropped the basketball and walked back.

Curry stood up and raised his hand, and took the initiative to claim the foul. When he realized that he called Li Yue for a foul, he was a little confused.

But Green was not fooled. He caught the ball from the baseline and dashed. While the Lakers players complained and protested, he single-handedly reached the three-point line, used Thompson's cover to avoid Li Yue, and scored an easy layup.

D'Antoni jumped into a rage, yelling at the referee why he didn't whistle to remind him, and almost got a technical foul.

With only 3 points left in the lead, Marshall brought the ball to the top of the arc, and the audience shouted for defense in unison.

After covering several times in a row, Li Yue ran out from the short corner on the right, failed to get rid of Thompson's pursuit well, and raised his hand to signal not to pass the ball to himself.

Marshall suddenly throws the ball to the left elbow, Landry catches the ball and turns around, raising his hands high to pretend to play a single, but actually throws the ball to the short corner on the right.

The idea is very good, but unfortunately the passing skills are too poor, Li Yue has been chasing the bottom corner to barely catch the basketball, seeing that Thompson and Bogut intend to double-team, he decisively turned his back and pouted his butt to forcefully separate the space.

After Bogut withdrew to the defense, Li Yue glanced at the timer and found that there were only 8 seconds left. He turned around and took off decisively, making a difficult three-pointer.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Landry rushed to get the offensive rebound, landed and turned and threw it to the top of the arc.Marshall received the ball and made a long pass to the right corner.

Li Yue received the ball easily. Seeing Thompson rushing to the basket, he was unable to return to the defense for a while. He calmly raised his head to aim at the basket, and jumped up steadily to shoot a three-pointer.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, 69 to 63.

Li Yue was about to raise his hands and shout for celebration, but when he saw Green catching the ball and rushing, he quickly ran after him.

He walked on the right sideline, Green walked in the middle, the two advanced in parallel, and in a blink of an eye they came to the front three-point line.

The audience cheered and cheered, Li Yue cut diagonally at full speed, followed Green to take off, raised his left hand high, and glided in the air.

boom!Pegboard hat.

The basketball rebounded and flew upside down, Li Yue turned around and rushed over, bent down to pick it up in his hand, and then rushed forward in turn.

Thompson came oncoming, he switched hands behind his back to dodge.

Luol Deng moved laterally to intercept, and he flew IN-OUT.

Bogut shrank his stance, he jumped without fear, and dunked with one hand.

Boom!The basketball exploded into the net, and his legs were right on Bogut's chest, just like McGrady dunking Bradley!

The referee whistled at the same time, whistled Bogut for blocking the foul, and gave an additional penalty.

The Lakers bench jumped up collectively, shouting frantically.

Nick Yang raised his left hand and placed it on his temple, gesticulating in the shape of a pistol, flicked lightly to imitate shooting, and fell straight to the ground.

Davis put his hands together, closed his eyes and meditated, as if Nick Young was praying, and the rest, led by Bazemore, bowed.

Jokic watched his teammates perform in bewilderment, the referee blew his whistle to stop everyone's crazy actions, and Li Yue walked to the free throw line.

Perhaps it was because the buckle was too shocking, the audience did not boo, and just sat and watched Li Yue hit and add a penalty.

72 to 63, the Warriors requested a timeout.

"My God, I never thought I could witness a dunk in this era!" Van Gundy said, "It seems that Kobe dunked Howard last time, but strictly speaking, that time can't be counted. Li Yue's dunk is scheduled for the season. optimal."

"It's really embarrassing to be buckled, but it's okay, the game is still long." Jackson said, "I believe Curry will lead the team to catch up and overtake. The Warriors have already been a tenacious team. This game, the current situation , it is their perfect time to transform.”
