I just play ball

Chapter 41
Li Yue turned around and retreated, just in time to find that Howard and others looked strange, but Goodlock was excited.

The style of painting is so different, Li Yue suddenly laughed out loud, Goodlock is just such a person, no matter celebrating a goal or something else, everything he does is more exaggerated than others, as long as he scores a few more goals, all teammates will get used to it this style.

In a blink of an eye, Li Yue stepped back to the left elbow and got close to Miles.

Irving dribbled to the left wing, passed it to Miles, and stopped in place to signal to open the space.

Li Yue bent his knees and squatted slightly, while preparing to defend, he observed the direction of other Cavaliers from the corner of his eyes.

He remembered that Miles was a pure 3D position in the Cavaliers. His shots were concentrated in the left and right bottom corners. He occasionally caught and shot the ball at the top of the arc. There were very few cases like this kind of singles with the ball in the elbow area. Nine is a pretense.

Sure enough, Myers turned around hastily after only two backs, throwing the ball hastily as if he was in a hurry to complete the task.

Li Yue immediately turned around and ran towards the short corner, just in time to see Owen receiving the pass, and immediately stepped forward to block it.

Owen kept his feet, twisted his hips and turned around, dribbling the ball with his right hand and dashing.

Li Yue held his breath, raised his hands, and slid to catch up.

The two came to the basket in an instant.

Irving stopped suddenly, slapped the ball vigorously, turned around, took off slightly, and shot with a hook.

Li Yue stepped on the ground and slapped the basketball away. Goodlock jumped up and applauded again.

Blake, who was originally responsible for defending Irving, picked up the basketball and brought it forward quickly. Kobe echoed from the right.

Li Yue let out a long sigh of relief, stepped up his legs and followed up from the middle, and the three of them went down quickly.

Miles was too slow, Blake drove straight in, and Alonzo Giti went to the basket to shrink and intercept.

Blake braked at the 45-degree three-point line on the right, held the ball with both hands, and made a long pass to the left sideline.

Kobe caught the ball and raised his hand to aim at the basket. He gathered his momentum for a long time, but threw the ball to the free throw line.

Li Yue arrived just in time, took two big strides to catch the ball, leaped high, and dunked with both hands.

With the Lakers leading 5-0, the entire arena gradually quieted down, and the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor could be heard far away.

Byron Scott got up from the bench and walked along the sideline, frequently gesturing towards the Cavaliers on the field.

Owen turned his head and glanced twice, didn't nod or make other movements, and continued to dribble the ball forward slowly.

Li Yue faced Miles in the left corner. Seeing Irving dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, he immediately turned his back to hold it. This action can not only sense the opponent's movement direction, but also observe the Cavaliers' attacking direction, which is the best of both worlds.

Zeller lifted the wall from the free throw line as a side screen, and Owen pulled the ball to break to the left.

Hill's switch-up was delayed and double-teamed with Blake, who was chasing through the screen.

Zeller took the opportunity to cut to the basket. At the same time, Irving strode back and twisted his body to hit the pass.

Li Yuezao adjusted his orientation and contracted. When he saw the pass, he immediately crossed and pressed. However, the basketball rebounded too fast and failed to catch it. Fortunately, Clark, who also contracted and intercepted, formed a double-team on Zeller.

Perhaps because he thought that his 213 cm length had a height advantage, Zeller ignored the interference of the two and raised the ball, but his wingspan was only 212 cm, and under the interference of Li Yue, he met Clark, who was 208 cm in length and 214 cm in length. There is no advantage.

The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, Tristan Thompson grabbed it, roared, and stood up strong.

Clark jumped up, like a wall erected out of thin air, and with a snap, he faced the big hat.

The basketball flew out of bounds, the referee whistled, and the Cavaliers got the baseline ball.

Li Yue looked up and found that the attack time was only 3 seconds left, and immediately reminded his teammates not to shoot.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Zeller took the basketball and raised his hands high, and the other Cavaliers players concentrated in the right half began to move.

Owen used Alonzo and Miles to cover and rushed from the left corner to the top of the arc, but Li Yue caught up with him in a blink of an eye.

Zeller made a lob pass, and Owen caught the ball in a three-threat posture, and then made a probing step to the left.

Li Yue slid sideways to catch up, and raised his right hand to interfere with the shot, giving up all the space leading to the basket.

I thought, Owen made an emergency stop and withdrew.

Li Yue quickly took off to block the shot, but Irving temporarily changed his usual shooting action and deliberately raised the arc of his shot, as if he wanted to prove that he still has good strong shooting ability against big men.

Swish!Hollow into the net.

Yes!The Quicken Loans Arena was instantly filled with the cheers of the fans, surging like a dam flooding.

However, the referee waved his hands crossed to indicate that the 24-second offense was violated and the goal was invalid.

The cheers stopped abruptly, and Owen shook his head helplessly, then turned and walked to the frontcourt.

The Lakers were easy to attack, and the V-shaped formation was settled.

Li Yue started from the right wing, rushed to the top of the arc in four strides, received a hand-off pass from Blake, and faced Owen in a dislocation.

The fans booed and interfered, the Lakers players opened up space one after another, and Li Yue sat sideways.

Owen resisted twice, then suddenly retreated.

Li Yue has long been immune to this kind of trick to deal with novices with backs, and he directly turned around and broke through to the right.

Owen didn't give up, and started to press down.

Li Yue turned around again, passed the ball completely, and dashed forward with both hands together, like a Ferrari with its gas pedal on its feet.

Tristan slid sideways, standing outside the reasonable collision zone like a stake and waiting.

Any fool could see that he was trying to make an offensive foul. Li Yue smiled and stopped suddenly to take off and throw.

boom!A basketball rebounds into the net.

The Lakers lead 7-0.

Tristan quickly picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds. With both hands, he passed it to Irving who ran to the center line ahead of time.

It was obvious that he wanted to make a quick serve, but Blake was already prepared and ran up to chase after him in the blink of an eye.

The Cavaliers landed in the frontcourt, Irving and Zeller made a pick-and-roll cooperation, and then one dribbled to the left and the other turned and went down.

Clark and Blake double-teamed again, and Owen continued to walk, using Miles to cover Li Yue at the short corner.

No one-on-one, just hit the ground and pass the ball.

Zeller, who went down, received it in his hand and forced a jump against Clark's defense.

Li Yue witnessed the whole process, and everything went smoothly, only the shot was rushed, because Hill returned to form a double-team threat.

The basketball bounced off the backboard, hit the rim with a bang, spun twice at high speed, and came out of the basket.

Clark immediately backed up against Zeller and Tristan who rushed up, Hill jumped up and grabbed the rebound.

Seeing this, Li Yue ran wildly, and once again quickly got off the third line with Kobe and Blake.

Hill landed and turned, watched briefly, and threw the ball to the left sideline.

Li Yue took off to catch the ball, and pushed it forward. Seeing that Kobe and Blake couldn't get an open space for the time being, he simply increased his speed to his personal limit, rushed to the basket in three seconds, and Rondo made an emergency stop to trick Miles. , throwing the paddle easily.

boom!The basketball bounces off the backboard and into the net.

The Lakers lead 9-0.

The referee blows his whistle and the Cavaliers request a timeout.

Li Yue turned and walked off the court. As soon as he got to the bench, Goodlock rushed up and raised his hands.

Snapped!Li Yue also raised his hands, and the two clapped vigorously, cooperating very tacitly.

"Brother, you scored nine points in a row, plus one block and two sharp defenses!" Goodlock said excitedly.

"Is it okay?" Li Yue chuckled, pretending to be a big boss by the way.

"You are the number one small forward in the league! You are better than LeBron James!" Goodlock said loudly.

"This..." Li Yue was speechless, and the other teammates were stunned when they heard the words, "It's better for us to keep a low profile..."

Brin smiled: "How do you two evaluate Li Yue's performance during this period?"

"The combination of offense and defense is excellent, enough to enter the ranks of the league's top small forwards." Van Gundy said excitedly.

Jaylen Rose snorted twice: "From the statistics, it is in line with your evaluation, but considering the poor offensive and defensive level of the Cavaliers, it is difficult to make a real evaluation. Only the playoffs can truly test his strength."

Van Gundy shook his head slightly: "You can say it that way, after all, there are very few players who can put up good numbers in the playoffs, especially those players who have played a variety of high-profile performances in their rookie season, but I firmly believe that Li Yue's performance in the playoffs will be equally good. "

"OK! Let's talk about what adjustments the Cavaliers may make next?" Brin said.

"Reduce the offensive rhythm. Their previous attacks were too hasty, the success rate was too low, and they had to increase physical confrontation. The Lakers have three main players on rotation. They should make good use of this." Jaylen Rose said.

"I think the Cavaliers should put on a three-back lineup and resolutely execute the fast break." Van Gundy said.

...

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The lineups of the two teams were adjusted. The Lakers replaced Kobe with Artest, and the Cavaliers replaced Tyler Zeller with Dion Waiters.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Irving received the ball and advanced in the backcourt, and the fans applauded and cheered.

Li Yue stood at the top of the arc, looking at Alonzo in front of him expressionlessly, but already laughed out loud in his heart.

Alonzo has relatively strong physical fitness and is good at switching offense and defense, but because of his limited shooting range, he is particularly easy to target. At the same time, he lacks skills and patience on the defensive end.

The Cavaliers arranged the matchup in this way, as if they were worried that he would not be able to play beautiful data.

Before thinking too much, Irving took the ball to the frontcourt, passed it to Alonzo, and then ran into the inside under the cover.Li Yue turned around to check decisively. Seeing that Irving moved to the left half, he adjusted his orientation, tried his best to interfere with the pass, and let Alonzo shoot.

After several screens, Irving still failed to get the space to receive the ball, and there were only 10 seconds left in the attack time.

Scott waved his hand, and Dion Waiters ran from the right wing to the top of the arc to take over the pass.

Li Yue changed defense, chased to 45 degrees and stopped, bent his knees and squatted slightly, and spread his hands to intercept.

Waiters swayed under his crotch, and after three consecutive times, he raised his shoulders and kicked the ground as if executing a program, raised his arms and thrust to the left.

Li Yue chased sideways.

The two came to the middle of the free throw line in a blink of an eye. Waiters combined the ball and started a three-step layup, rushing hard like a rhinoceros with his head buried.

Ignore all defenses!
boom!Hill caps the rising basketball.

Li Yue picked it up in his hand, turned around and pushed forward quickly, and went down the double lane with Blake.

But the Cavaliers lineup had three fast guards, and finally turned to the ground.

After a few moves, Li Yue faced Irving in a misplaced position, while Clark faced Waiters under the basket.

Both of them have the advantage, Clark is more stable,

Li Yue was about to pass the ball when Goodlock, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly shouted: "Five times in a row, five times in a row!"

Howard and the others were stunned, completely unaware of what Goodlock was talking about.

But Li Yue himself reacted quickly, and immediately raised his hand to signal to open the space, and decided to play singles.

Owen seemed to realize something, and put on a defensive posture with a serious face.

Li Yue lowered his center of gravity, changed direction with continuous cross steps, and suddenly took a big step to the right, passing Owen in an instant and making a mid-range shot.

Swish!Hollow into the net.

The Lakers lead 11-0.

Li Yue beat his chest with both hands and held it up high, like a king returning.

...

ESPN commentary seats.

"After two years, Li Yue targeted Kyrie Irving five times in a row on both offensive and defensive ends. Is it considered self-salvation?"

"To be honest, I don't like him very much, but this kind of story is interesting."

"It was symbolic for him, maybe the beginning of a big explosion."
