I just play ball

Chapter 407 Don't Panic With Me
The game continues, the Lakers attack.

The audience shouted for defense in unison, Clarkson took the ball across the center line, looked at Li Yue, and asked what tactics to play.

Li Yuebai refused and asked Clarkson to make his own decision, otherwise it would be difficult for him to improve his personal organizational skills quickly.

Clarkson hesitated for a moment, took the ball to the right wing, raised his hand and passed it to Gobert at the top of the arc, strode to the bottom corner on the right, and set up a wall to block Ginobili.

This tactic has been played too many times, and it may not be able to receive much effect if it is used by other teams to defend, but the Spurs are now responsible for the defense. One is Ginobili and the other is Parker. They are all relatively ordinary. Whether you switch defenses or not, you have to drink a pot against Kobe.

Kobe rushed to the right wing, took the pass from Gobert, twisted his hips to the elbow area, and put his back against Parker who was changing defenses.

Clarkson ran to the basket to help open up space for singles.

But Ginobili is so smart. He knew too well that Parker would not be able to resist Kobe. Halfway through the chase, he stopped the brakes, bent down and stretched out his hands, aggressively pressing the basketball.

Seeing this situation, Gobert moved sideways and set up a human wall to block Leonard.

Li Yue took the opportunity to kick off and ran from 45 degrees on the left to 45 degrees on the right, intending to respond.Before he arrived, Kobe joined the ball with both hands, strode forward and turned around, facing Parker's interference, facing Bonner's interception, forcibly leaning back in the air, forming a 60-degree angle with the floor, and making a mid-range shot.

when!The basketball hit the rim, rebounded, and fell into the net with a bang, 19 to 18.

"Beautiful!" Li Yue cheered loudly, high-fiving Kobe, and the Lakers bench stood up and cheered.

The Spurs attacked, Parker took the ball to the center line, raised his hand and passed it to Manu Ginobili on the right wing, rushed to the free throw line, and quickly shifted to the left.

Duncan lifted the wall to block Kobe, and Ginobili twisted his hips and went inside. At the free throw line, he joined the ball with both hands, took two steps, and jumped up to pick the basket with his right hand.

This movement was coherent and beautiful, many spectators held their breath and waited, but the distance of the shot was too far, the basketball hit the front of the rim and fell straight down.

Gobert reached out to catch the basketball, turned around and threw it to the left sideline, Clarkson received it, leaned forward and rushed forward, and the Lakers launched a fast break.

Kobe followed up on the right sideline, received the ball at a 45-degree position in the frontcourt, raised his hands high, jumped past Leonard, plunged into the paint, and faced Duncan's block.

boom!The basketball bounced off the board and fell.

Leonard grabbed the rebound, took it to the top of the arc in three seconds, observed the demand on the spot, raised his hand and threw it to Duncan who followed up.

Duncan catches the ball and walks in, and suddenly makes a 45-degree pass to the left. There is a big open space, but it is a pity that Bonner catches the ball and does not dare to shoot.

Ginobili caught the ball and held it high, as if he wanted to grab a three-pointer.

But Kobe didn't move at all, he bent his knees and squatted, raised his hands slightly, ready to interfere at any time.

The fake action failed, Bonner ran to set up a wall as a cover, and Ginobili rushed to the left 45-degree three-point line.

Unfortunately, still failed to get rid of Kobe, had to throw the ball to the free throw line.

Duncan catches the ball, eyes flicker from side to side, passes the ball back, and sets up a screen by the way.

There is not much time left in the attack, Ginobili takes the ball and breaks to the right, Kobe squeezes through the screen in an instant, and chases closely.

Gobert also intercepted in front, Duncan followed the air cut, then received the ball, jumped up immediately, and put the basket with his left hand.

After 24 seconds of attack time, the whistle sounded, the basketball rebounded into the net, and the referee blew his whistle to signal that a video was needed to confirm whether the goal was valid.

"It's good to be patient. You have to play three screens in one attack, and you also play at the buzzer." Li Yue sighed in his heart, and called his teammates to discuss the tactics after the timeout.

The big central screen gave a replay, showing that after Duncan made a shot, the red lights around the backboard came on, so the goal was valid, and the score of the two teams became 19 to 20.

The Lakers attacked, Clarkson took the ball to the left wing, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc.

Gobert caught the ball and turned around, and then divided it 45 degrees to the right. Li Yue received it in his hands, observed it for a while, and raised his hands high to hang the pass.

Kobe received the ball from the right waist, put his back against Ginobili, stood still for three seconds, then suddenly kicked off the ground to take off, and turned over to make a jump shot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 21 to 20.

"The Lakers have played 8 games so far in the new season, and Kobe still ranks first in the scoring list. In addition to his performance in this game, he seems to have returned to his peak."

"There were no extra technical moves in this attack just now, it was purely explosive power and touch, just like the 06 season, straight forward, omnipotent."

The Spurs attacked, Parker dribbled the ball across the center line, raised his hand to the left and passed it to Ginobili, turned around and ran to the right to the bottom corner.

Ginobili held the ball high, Bonner raised it from the free throw line as a screen, and Landry grabbed it without hesitation, blocking the breakthrough route abruptly.Ginobili had no choice but to stop the ball, passed too much to Bonner, and then received a pass back in a three-threat posture. He waited until Duncan went up to the wall to cover, and then moved the ball to the right.

Kobe and Gobert teamed up to attack, and the audience cheered and cheered. Ginobili rushed to the right side at a low price against the interference of the two, stopped suddenly, took off, and raised his hand for a long pass.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue rushed to the basket, ready to shrink and intercept.

The basketball did not fall into Duncan's hands as expected, but flew across the paint and fell straight into the hands of Parker in the left corner.

"Oops!" Li Yue was in a bad mood, and hurriedly turned back to defend.

But Parker had already thrown the ball 45 degrees to the left, Leonard easily received it, and made a steady three-pointer with a wide open.

Boom!The basketball went into the net hollow, 21 to 23.

"This pass is too flamboyant!" Li Yue looked up at the big screen to watch the replay of the video. Ginobili obviously didn't make an estimate in advance.

Because at the time of the pass, there were two teams with a total of four players under the basket. The risk was too great. As for why Ginobili passed, I am afraid that even he himself did not know, but this is the "demon knife" Ginobili Personal style can not only deceive opponents, but also deceive oneself, which is hard to guard against.

The Lakers attacked, Clarkson hit the ball to the top of the arc, patted on the spot and waited for a moment, then used Kobe's cover to break through to the left.

Parker squeezed to catch up, Ginobili switched defenses and intercepted, Kobe disassembled and slid down, and Clarkson made an emergency stop to pass the ball.

It is a taboo to hit the ball in a small range inside. The basketball hits the floor and bounces up, passing Ginobili's hand, and the trajectory of the ball changes completely.

Kobe bent over to catch the ball, and Ginobili was stuck close to him as soon as he was in unison. He leaned forward and found it difficult to exert force, so he had to throw the ball to the right corner.

Li Yue received the flat raise, pretending to make a breakthrough, but actually passed it back with a high lob.

Kobe took off to catch the ball, turned around directly when he landed, and still leaned back with difficulty, and there were no extra technical moves.

Ginobili jumped up to block the shot, without even touching the edge, the basketball flew out in an arc, hit the circle with a bang and caught the net.

It was tied 23 to 23, with exactly 4 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.

The Spurs attacked and opened up their positions.

Ginobili rushed to the right wing with the ball, did not make a pause, and directly broke through under the cover of Duncan.

Kobe squeezed through the screen to catch up, jumped from the free throw line, glided in the air for a while, raised his hand and slapped Ginobili to pick the basket.

All the Lakers bench stood up and cheered. Kobe has blocked shots twice, and he is in a brave state!

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, whistled for Kobe's thug foul, and gave two free throws.

Cheers resounded from the ATT center, and Nick Young and others were dumbfounded. How could he call a foul?
Kobe shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, smiled and walked to the center line to stand still, pulling Clarkson to explain the opportunity face to face. .

Ginobili made the first free throw, a short whistle sounded in the arena, and the announcer announced that the two teams were adjusting personnel.

The Lakers replaced Gobert with Davis and Clarkson with Marshall.The Spurs replaced Parker with Joseph and Bonner with Diaw.

"The rotation of the Lakers is a bit strange. The offense has not been strengthened, but the defense has weakened. Why didn't Iguodah play the first game?"

"I also want to say this. The Spurs lineup can be described as a comprehensive upgrade, and the Lakers may find it difficult to deal with it."

With the cheers of the audience, Ginobili also hit the second free throw, 23 to 25.

The Lakers attacked, Marshall dribbled the ball from the center line, casually threw it to Kobe at the top of the arc, and used Davis to cover the inside cut.

And Davis turned and moved laterally, set up a wall to block Ginobili, and continued to cover for Kobe.

Diaw rushed up to block the space on the left, but Kobe reversed the ball to the right, rushed to the right elbow with Ginobili, and made an emergency stop to take off and make a mid-range shot.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

The audience clapped and cheered. Davis rushed to get the rebound, landed on his back to resist Dior, and then passed Kobe.

Ginobili approached close to him, and Kobe took advantage of the situation to resist with his back. The two fought for a while, and then turned back again.

Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and hit the net, 25 draws.

"Confidence! I can see absolute confidence from Kobe's face! He didn't even think about passing to Li Yue. It's exactly the same style of play as in 06."

"It's only after you said that that I realized that Li Yue seemed to be invisible and didn't participate in the attack for several rounds."

"This is where the Lakers are so good. Li Yue didn't mind Kobe's crazy shots, and Gasol and Iguodala were still sitting on the court."

The Spurs attacked, Joseph took the ball to the right wing, raised his hand and passed it to the top of the arc, and settled in a full-scale 3-high and 2-low formation.

Dior received the ball and raised it flat, then suddenly bent sideways and hit the ball towards the basket.

Duncan put his back against Gobert, caught the ball and turned around and raised his hand, as if he was not afraid of being blocked at all.

I never thought that Gobert did not block the shot, or even try, but directly raised his hand to slap the basketball.

Duncan is old, and he played 9 minutes of continuous high-intensity games. The bloody state at the beginning of the game has disappeared, and the action speed is too slow.

The basketball rolled out, Li Yue bent down and picked it up, and ran forward.

Leonard went around to press, and went straight to the ground, forcing the ball down to the floor, and Joseph also reached out to grab it.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yue also bent his knees and fell to the ground, hugged the basketball forcibly, found a gap and threw it out.

Davis received the ball and turned around, strode to the top of the arc, raised his hand and gave it to Kobe on the right wing, and continued to sprint without stopping.

Kobe caught the ball and immediately threw it back. Davis leaped high, and dunked with both hands across Dior in the air!
27 to 25, the ATT center fell into a brief silence.

"Oh, this is too cruel."

"Dio thought Kobe was going to fight, but failed to adjust his posture in time. In fact, he could call a blocking foul and give him an additional penalty."

Dior picked it up and retreated out of bounds, and hurriedly threw it into the field. Joseph subconsciously raised his hand to catch the ball, and had no time to react.

In a panic, the basketball fell to the ground, bouncing and rolling towards the sideline. Joseph chased after him, but unfortunately he was not as fast as the ball.

The referee blew his whistle, whistled for an out-of-bounds violation, and gave the Lakers the right to the frontcourt sideline.

Popovich stood up suddenly, raised his finger to Dio, muttered something, and looked quite excited, and the two assistant coaches pulled him to sit down.

Such a low-level mistake really shouldn't be. The current strong dialogue is very likely to determine the winner in one round.

Dior knew he was wrong, and quickly raised his hand to signal that he was wrong, and his mood was visible to the naked eye.

The Lakers kicked off from the sideline. Li Yue rushed from the top of the arc to the right wing, took the ball and broke through along the sideline.

Leonard chased close to him without giving him too much room to maneuver. Li Yue stopped and turned around, handing a hand to Marshall who ran up from the bottom corner.

Kobe rushed to the top of the arc, received the ball from Marshall, and put his left foot in a three-threat position, winking and hinting at the same time.

Davis, who had just rushed into the field, understood and set up a human wall as a positioning cover. Marshall reacted when he saw this, and followed up with the wall as a cover.

The double cover on the flanks was formed. Li Yue kicked off the ground, forcibly threw off Leonard, rushed all the way to the top of the arc, received a pass from Kobe, and made a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 30 to 25.

Popovich was still angry, Joseph rushed to catch the ball, crossed the center line in about 45 seconds, and quickly passed the ball to Manu Ginobili at [-] degrees to the left, but he did not slow down, but accelerated again, and rushed To the free throw line, the Lakers' defensive formation has not yet been fully completed.

Ginobili raised his hand to pass back, Joseph received the ball and made three strong steps, easily picked the basket and scored, 30 to 27.

Kobe shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and Li Yue looked at each other in blank dismay. This ball was really unexpected.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe took the ball to the top of the arc, and with the help of Davis' cover, he strode to the left to break through.

The Spurs double-teamed, and Kobe hit the ground to pass the ball.Davis caught the ball and turned around, slammed the ground to borrow strength, took a quick step, and forced the basket.

The movement is quite rough, the rhythm is also very chaotic, the ball is extremely reluctant, and the basketball hits the board and falls.

Duncan grabbed the rebound and the Spurs launched a counterattack.

Ginobili rushed the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, slowed down and separated Kobe sideways, shaking his left hand for a screen.

Duncan patted his horse and set up the wall on the right side. Kobe stepped forward first, but Ginobili pulled the ball in the opposite direction and rushed to the baseline.

Even so, Kobe twisted his hips instantly, and chased him back in two steps, while Gobert moved laterally to intercept.

Ginobili stopped suddenly, raised his left hand, and passed the ball behind his back, so bold that he ignored the risk.

But the basketball happened to hit the board and rebound, as if it had a positioning navigation, and it fell precisely into Dior's hands outside the three-point line.

And Dior immediately raised his hand and lobbed a pass to the left waist. Duncan caught the ball and held Gobert with his back.

Ginobili ran back to the left wing, caught the ball again, used the screen again, and then went to the baseline to break, as if executing the established code and having no other options.

Even if Kobe and Gobert were still double-teaming, he took off in the air and threw the ball vigorously to the right 45-degree three-point line.

Joseph received the ball, ignoring Marshall's return defense interference, and went straight to a one-step shot.

Swish!Three-point hollow into the net, 30 flat.

Cheers erupted from the ATT center. Parker stood on the Spurs bench and applauded excitedly, as if he was happier than himself scoring.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe took the ball to the top of the arc, and broke through to the left with the help of Ives.

The Spurs double-teamed, and Leonard moved laterally from the elbow to defend Davis.

Seeing this, Li Yue rushed to the top of the arc, but Kobe stopped suddenly to pull the ball and retreated, forcing a jump and mid-range shot against the defense.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and bounced far away.

Joseph grabbed the rebound, moved forward slowly, passed the center line to Ginobili on the left wing, and rushed into the paint with Duncan.

At the same time, Leonard also rushed into the paint from the right sideline, and together with Duncan, they teamed up to set up the wall as a screen.

Joseph took the opportunity to run to the right sideline, while Ginobili passed the ball to the top of the arc, and Diaw caught the ball and turned to the right to pass again.

This is a typical Spurs transfer ball movement, and the Lakers' defensive center of gravity instantly gathered to the right wing.

Unexpectedly, Dior turned around again and lobbed the ball to the left waist, and Duncan just ran there with the cover.

Gobert was still blocked by Leonard at this time, and Li Yue was delayed by Dior who immediately followed the pass, and Kobe rushed to defend.

Duncan turned around and hit the board calmly. Kobe failed to block the shot and slapped him on the arm.

The basketball hit the backboard and rebounded into the net. The referee whistled for a foul and gave an extra free throw. The audience cheered and shouted.

Maybe it was because of two fouls in the first quarter, or maybe it was because of his poor performance in several consecutive rounds. Kobe shook his head a little annoyed, and uncharacteristically spat trash at Duncan, insisting on finding some way to win.

Duncan smiled and easily hit and added a penalty.

30 to 33, with 1 minute and 35 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

D'Antoni waved from the sidelines and arranged for Iguodah to replace him for the first time. Kobe walked to the bench unwillingly.

Seeing the referee's arrangement, Li Yue walked to Kobe's side, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said, "There is me, don't panic."
