Chapter 418 Absolute Confidence (Part [-])
The audience cheered, boxing champion Methaway stood up and applauded, Kobe paid tribute from the air, and the voice of MVP resounded through the arena.

With the extra penalty hit, the Lakers lead 67 to 63. Li Yue has scored 16 points in a single quarter and only missed one goal.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and moved to the left with Bogut's cover.

Iguodala chased close to him, and the others adjusted their direction accordingly. Curry moved along the sideline to the bottom line, then rushed to the bottom of the basket along the bottom line, facing the encirclement of the three, suddenly jumped up and threw the ball to the middle.

Following up, Bogut received the ball, unguarded in front of him, took advantage of the opportunity to take off and put the basket.

Davis flipped over and slapped Bogut on the head, but the basketball hit the basket and caught him.

The referee blew his whistle and gave an additional penalty, and Green jumped up from the bench to celebrate.

Taking advantage of the referee's arrangement, Li Yue summoned his teammates and whispered: "Hey, brothers, try not to double-team in advance, we want to reduce the number of easy goals for the Warriors, even if Curry scores under the basket, it doesn't matter, at least it can consume he."

All the teammates nodded one after another, and then dispersed their positions.

The audience booed everywhere, and Bogut made an extra free throw, 67 to 66.

The Lakers attacked, and Iguodala rushed to the right wing with the ball, raised his hand and passed directly to the waist.

Thompson walked forward, raised his hand and slapped hard, the basketball was forced and flew out of bounds, and the referee whistled to give the frontcourt baseline the ball.

Li Yue shrugged slightly, and Iguodala raised his hand to indicate that he was at fault.

This pass is too obvious, even if everyone knows that they want to play Li Yue, they have to follow the steps.

After preparing in a blink of an eye, Davis ran to the three-point line from the bottom line, received a long pass from Covington, and then split the top of the arc.

Iguodala received the ball, watched and waited for a moment, and then passed the ball to the left waist.

Li Yue took the ball and turned to face the basket, lowered his center of gravity and stepped down the ball, rushed to the short corner against Thompson, stopped suddenly, jumped, and shot backwards.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, 69 to 66.

The Warriors attacked, Curry received the ball from the three-point line in the backcourt, and brought it to the top of the arc in three seconds.

Bogut just passed the center line at this time, Davis boldly stepped forward to delay, and Iguodala waited behind him.

Curry stopped abruptly and changed hands behind his back, one step past Davis, and quickly slipped to the right 45 degrees.

Iguodala slid to intercept, Curry changed hands and diverted, and then took the left with the help of Bogut's cover.

Davis switched defenses to delay the grab, Curry bent over and slipped past, and the free throw line directly joined the ball to start.

Landry shrunk and intercepted from the short corner on the left, Curry stopped the layup and made a low pass.

But the height of the basketball from the ground was too low, and Speights had no time to bend down and watched the basketball fly out of bounds.

Instead, Landry swooped down, caught the ball, shook his hands in the air, and threw it to the left wing.

Li Yue received the ball and ran forward. Seeing that Iguodala had rushed to the top of the frontcourt, he made a decisive long pass.

The basketball whizzed across the center line, as if controlled by humans, and landed precisely in the paint area of ​​the frontcourt. Iguodala was just in place, took off in the air after receiving it, and dunked with one hand.

Boom!The basketball was caught, 71 to 66.

Barnes picked up the basketball and walked out of bounds. After waiting for a full two seconds, no one stepped forward to respond.

Cole stomped and shouted, and Speights ran up from the center line to catch the ball, then passed it to the right sideline.

Thompson took the ball to the right wing of the frontcourt, raised his hand and passed it to Speights at the top of the arc, who passed it to the left wing.

Barnes received the ball and waited, Bogut stuck Davis behind his left waist and raised his hand to ask for the basketball.

But Barnes did not pass the goal, but turned and threw it to the top of the arc, and Curry rushed to the position with the help of a screen.

Seeing the basketball flying in front of him, Iguodala rushed to grab it and sent the ball flying.

It's a pity that Barnes picked up the basketball first, raised his hand and passed Curry, but Iguodala was unable to defend.

Seeing this situation, Covington gave up guarding Barnes and moved laterally to intercept, but Curry stopped suddenly at the elbow, raised his hand and threw the ball to Bogut.

And Bogut is handing it to Barnes who rushed to the bottom corner, and set up a wall to block Davis.

when!Barnes hit the iron with a wide open three-pointer.

There were no Warriors under the basket, and Li Yue ran forward without any scruples.

Davis leaped high to grab the rebound, and just took two steps when he heard Methaway yelling: Give the ball to the devil!
Davis didn't know who the devil was, he just subconsciously threw the ball forward.

Li Yue received the ball from the left wing, and the audience closest to him was the audience on the sidelines, who jumped up and shot a three-pointer without any pressure.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Lakers led 74 to 66.

"In this section, Li Yue has scored 21 points and 42 points in total." Ma Wen said, "There are 2 minutes and 04 seconds left before the end of this section. You think that with his fiery touch, it is possible 50 points at halftime?"

"The chances are slim, and the Warriors will probably press the rhythm to pursue the success rate." Miller said, "But I very much hope that he can do it. The situation he is currently facing is very similar to the game when he scored 75 points. The Warriors are so strong. A new record is possible."

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the right wing, and raised his hand to Bogut at the elbow.

Thompson lifted from the right corner and set up a wall to block Iguodala. , Curry took the opportunity to speed up the sprint, Li Yue was worried that he would not catch up with the reverse run, Bogut immediately threw the ball to the short corner, Curry caught the ball and ran to the basket.

Davis shrunk to intercept, Curry glided in the air to avoid, and hit the board with a backhand.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, 74 to 68.

The Lakers attacked, and Iguodala took the ball to the right wing, slowed down and looked up to find someone.

Most of the Warriors' attention was focused on Li Yue, running in various rotations, and the basket was slightly empty.

Li Yue's eyes suggested that Iguodala hesitated for a moment, and rushed to the basket next to Curry.

Curry's body was completely unstoppable, and Iguodala easily hit the basket, took off with the ball and put it to the basket.

The basketball hit the basket and rebounded, and Bogut jumped up and caught it in his hand, and made a long pass to the center line.

Curry caught the ball and ran wildly, reached the left wing in the blink of an eye, faced Covington's defense, and rushed to shoot in a one-step motion.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 74 to 71.

The Lakers attacked, the announcer took the lead in shouting, and the audience chanted 'Li Yue' in unison.

Iguodala ran to the left wing with the ball, and quickly passed the ball hand-to-hand, as if atoning for his previous offense.

Li Yue received the ball with both hands high, and Thompson still defended closely, but it was too difficult to retreat from the left wing position.

He put his back against Thompson, intending to turn around and break through, but Thompson pressed hard.

This is the end of the matter, so you're welcome!
Li Yue suddenly turned around and took off, sticking to Thompson and making a strong three-pointer, but Thompson was still fighting for the position.

when!The basketball smashed into the basket, and the referee whistled followed by a foul call, giving three free throws.

Thompson spread his hands, shook his head again and again, and eagerly asked the referee to explain, but the referee walked away.

With continuous cheers, Li Yue first gave Kobe a high-five, and then walked to the free throw line to stand still.

"A chance?" Marvin smiled, "The Warriors don't show any signs of pressing the rhythm."

"Look." Miller nodded. "This also shows that the Warriors are very confident. After all, they are only three points behind."

Amid the cheers of MVP, Li Yue made three free throws and the Lakers led 77-71.

With 1 minute and 18 seconds left in the second quarter, the Warriors kicked off from the bottom line in the backcourt, and the audience shouted for defense.

Curry rushed to the left wing with the ball, turned around and passed it to Speights in the middle, and stopped and waited.

Speights took the ball and divided the 45-degree three-point line on the right, then turned around and moved towards the left elbow.Curry pretended to use Speights to cover the inside cut, but actually ran to the top of the arc, and Barnes, who was holding the ball at this moment, immediately threw the ball over.

Iguodala followed closely, reaching for the ball and maximizing physical resistance.

Curry raised his hand and passed the ball to the uplifted Bogut, strode to the free throw line by himself, and used Speights to screen inside without the ball.Iguodala and Landry miscommunicated and chased Curry at the same time. Speights took the opportunity to go around, received a pass from Bogut, and took off to make a mid-range shot.

Landry rushed back to the defense, but it didn't help, the basketball went into the net, 77 to 73.

With 1 minute and 01 seconds left in the second quarter, the Lakers kicked off from the baseline in the backcourt, and the audience stood up and watched.

There was a sigh in the arena, Davis rushed to get an offensive rebound, and was double-teamed by the Warriors when he landed.

"Go to the sideline, go to the sideline!" D'Antoni shouted loudly, reminding Davis to widen the pass angle.

Davis hurriedly followed suit, and the Warriors quickly dispersed. Li Yue rushed forward and raised his hand to catch the basketball.

Thompson was still by his side, but Li Yue was already on the rise, and he made another three-pointer with an emergency stop.

Li Yue dodged all kinds of dribbles and moved to the left 45 degrees with difficulty. With the shouts of the audience, he stopped and took off to make a strong shot.

Boom!The three-pointer hit the circle and entered the net, 80 to 73.

"80 points at halftime, times have changed, the Lakers and Warriors will usher in a new era in the NBA." Miller lamented, "The traditional centers will completely lose their dominance. I don't know if this is conducive to the long-term development of the league."

"Don't worry, we were more physical back then than we are now," Thomas said. "But honestly, the average tactical level is not as good as it is now, as long as the fans like it."

On the court, after the Warriors moved patiently, Thompson hit 2 points and caused a foul by Li Yue's thug.

But the large central screen showed that Li Yue was not fighting, and the arena immediately booed.

Li Yue didn't care, because Thompson's foul before belonged to him, and this time it was the referee to find a balance.
