I just play ball

Chapter 408

Kobe nodded and left. Li Yue turned and walked to the baseline. He was ready to meet Marshall to prevent the Spurs from suddenly pressing the audience.

The announcer shouted loudly, and the Spurs rookie Kyle Anderson came on the field to replace Leonard. There were bursts of applause in the ATT Center. The fans seemed to particularly like this player, and even the cheers carried a sense of concern.

Li Yue subconsciously turned his head to look, and this rookie named Anderson made him a little bit impressed.

At the time of the draft, there were domestic reports claiming that Anderson had one-eighth of Chinese ancestry, and it was an accidental choice by the Spurs.

It is these two reasons that made Li Yue read Anderson's scouting report specifically. Slow speed is Anderson's main shortcoming, but Anderson has a good defensive reading ability, and often makes up for his point loss by making up defense.

But what really caught the attention of many fans was Anderson's slow offensive rhythm, which often made it difficult for opposing players to defend.

At Anderson's alma mater, UCLA, many fans refer to that ability as 'time control.'

Anderson's technical characteristics belong to a ball-handling forward. He was awarded the best player in California in high school. He was also the first player in NCAA history to score 500 points, 300 rebounds and 200 assists in a single season. He led the team to win the Pac-[-] Division Championship , was successfully selected to the first team in the division, and the third team of the Associated Press All-American team.

Li Yue is very interested in such an awesome title, and now that he is about to fight, he is full of excitement.

In a blink of an eye, the referee finished the arrangement.

Seeing that there was no full-court press, Li Yue quickly ran to the right wing of the front field, and Anderson followed closely.

With the idea of ​​taking advantage of the opponent's weakness, Li Yue gestured to Marshall, indicating that he wanted to run the FLOOPY tactic.

But Marshall happened to look elsewhere, and didn't notice it immediately, so he had to shout loudly and make gestures again.

This is the trouble of not having the ball in his hand. Li Yue decided to take the ball in advance to organize the attack in the next few rounds.

Just thinking about it, Marshall happened to look over, and then raised his hand to signal the team to run tactics, and Iguodala and others took their positions.

Seeing the opportunity came, Li Yue kicked his knees and started running. With the help of Gobert's cover, he went straight to the left half along the baseline.

Iguodala came oncoming, forming an off-ball screen again, and Anderson was thrown off another position.

Popovich shouted a reminder from the sidelines, and Li Yue smoothly rushed to the left wing and raised his hand to receive a pass from Marshall.

When Dior heard the sound and switched defenses, Li Yue made a false shot, then dodged sideways, moved half a step horizontally, and jumped steadily to shoot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 33 draws.

Anderson raised his hand and shouted 'my fault, my fault', Duncan stepped forward and patted his head, reassuring him not to take it to heart.

The Spurs attacked, Joseph took the ball to the right wing, bent over and hit the ground for another pass.

Diaw received the ball from the left waist position, singled Davis with his back, pouted his big butt, and did not make any other extra moves, he just went hard, for a full four seconds, a total of five times, entered the paint area, turned forward and took off, hooked hand shot.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.

Gobert grabbed the rebound and the Lakers counterattacked.

Li Yue settled on the right wing, received a pass from Marshall, moved to the top of the arc, and raised his hand to signal to open the space.

The heads-up situation was about to take shape, the audience booed, and Anderson quickly stepped to the right.

This is obviously because he knows that his speed is slow, and he actively chooses to block the right and put the left, and intends to ask his teammates to help defend.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue dribbled the ball behind his back and changed hands, took advantage of the trend and took half a step back to the left, making a quick shot in a one-step motion.

Anderson swooped in to interfere, his movement seemed to be slow for half a second, and he slapped Li Yue's arm with a slap.

At the same time, the basketball crashed into the net, 36 to 33.

Nick Young yelled 'AND ONE' loudly, but the referee ignored it, and D'Antoni shrugged and spread his hands in protest.

The Spurs attacked, the audience clapped along with the announcer, and Joseph took the ball across the center line and passed it to the right.

Ginobili received the ball and turned sideways, patted and waved his hands on the spot, and the Spurs moved one after another.

It's a pity that after running for a long time, they failed to get out of the wide open space. Ginobili waved again, and the Spurs opened up space one after another.

Several spectators on the sidelines suddenly widened their eyes, Popovich was also stunned for a moment, and Parker secretly covered his mouth and laughed.

They all seem to be curious, why is Ginobili suddenly so confident that he has to single out Iguodala?
The entire on-line area was quickly left. Ginobili bowed and lowered his center of gravity. He quickly rushed to Iguodala, stopped in front of his body and pulled the ball to change direction. Break through on the right.

But he only took one step and then jumped with the ball. The rhythm is very different from the traditional three-step layup, which can be described as unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Iguodala had expected it a long time ago, and took off almost at the same time, gliding parallel to Ginobili, covering the interference all the way.

Ginobili didn't hesitate at all, he twisted his body in the air, using his wrist to lift the basket.

boom!Basketball rebounds and falls.

Iguodala picked up the rebound nearby and made a long pass to the left. Li Yue took off to catch the ball, and accelerated when he landed.

Anderson chased after him, but the two were like a car and an airplane. At the beginning, they could drive side by side. After crossing the center line, the distance became wider and wider.

Li Yue rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the left first. Seeing that Dior had already rushed to the paint area, he stopped decisively.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 39 to 33.

With 27.4 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Popovich stood up and shouted a reminder to slow down the pace.

The Spurs have not played a complex offense in the past few rounds, which is very different from Parker's patient organization in the opening game.

Joseph brought the ball to the top of the arc, raised his right hand to signal to wait, and made it clear that he was pressing time.

The rest of the Spurs ran off the assembly line one after another, and the offensive clock ticked away. With 7 seconds left, Duncan went up to the wall to cover. Joseph took the opportunity to break through from the left, but there was nowhere to go when he rushed to the free throw line He stopped and turned around.

Ginobili just rushed to the top of the arc, took the basketball, twisted his hips and rushed into the paint. Facing the encirclement of the three, he jumped up and distributed the ball to the right wing.

Dior took off to catch the ball, landed sideways to avoid Davis' pounce, took a step forward calmly, and took off steadily.

drop! The whistle sounded when the offense ran out in 24 seconds, and immediately after, the basketball went into the net hollowly.

The referee raised his hands and waved them crosswise, indicating that the goal was invalid and gave the Lakers the right to the ball in the backcourt.

With 3.4 seconds left in the clock, Popovich raised his hand and shouted, and the Spurs put up a full-court pressing position.

While the referee was still making arrangements, Li Yue quickly called his teammates to discuss.

After working out a plan in two seconds, Gobert stood outside the boundary, took the basketball, and raised his hands high.

The referee whistled, and Li Yue ran forward without any cover, purely fighting for speed.

The Spurs rushed to catch up, but Li Yue stopped and ran back. Taking advantage of the time difference, he easily received the basketball, and then used the cover to break through to the left.

Anderson bypassed the screen to intercept, Diaw and Ginobili set up the wall ahead of time, and the Spurs team showed a tendency to encircle.

But Li Yue crossed the center line, took two more steps, did not slow down, took off suddenly, and shot a super long three-pointer.

Anderson subconsciously stretched out his hand to interfere, and slapped his arm again.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

The whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, and the referee blew the whistle immediately, calling the beater for a foul and giving an additional penalty.

Popovich was dumbfounded, the Lakers bench stood up and cheered, and Kobe gave a thumbs up from afar.

The audience booed wildly, and Li Yue walked to the free throw line with a smile, making an easy hit and adding a penalty.

43比33，湖人打出一波13比0的进攻高潮，仅用1分35秒。

"I know that Li Yue has a strong scoring ability, but this is still a bit beyond my cognition..."

"I only dared to question Coach D'Antoni's substitutions before, but now it can be clearly said that Coach Popovich should not replace Leonard with Anderson. If he fails to defend once, this game is very likely to lose."
