I just play ball

Chapter 42 Brother Basketball
On the field, the Cavaliers attack.

Irving received the ball from the backcourt and pushed forward. He had just taken two steps when boos suddenly burst from the scene.

The volume is relatively low, but it can be heard from all directions, and it can be heard clearly in a quiet arena.

Owen suddenly lost his mind, almost smashed the ball on his feet, his eyes were wide open, it seemed unacceptable

Although his ability to lead the team is relatively poor, after all, he is the only star in Cleveland after LeBron left.

Li Yue glanced at Alonzo next to him, showing embarrassment to the other side, perhaps because he was particularly uncomfortable being booed by his own fans.

In the blink of an eye, an angry Irving dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, handed it to Miles at the left elbow, and then strode to the left sideline.At the same time, Waiters started from the right wing and moved to the left under the cover of Tristan.

Li Yue squatted in the short corner on the left, seeing the Cavaliers running like this, subconsciously turned his toes to face the basket.

This is a common high and low tactic of the Cavaliers. In the end, it is very likely that Irving, who is passed to the inside, will end up with a layup.

Sure enough, Myers distributed the ball to Waiters who rushed to the top of the arc after getting rid of Artest, turned around and went down to set up a wall.

Blake was blocked and hard to chase, Clark was too slow to keep up, the basket was unguarded, and Irving raised his hand for the ball.

Li Yue rushed forward, and at the same time shouted to remind Hill to step forward and interfere, trying to destroy the passing route.

Everything was arranged step by step, and he was confident that he could stop the Cavaliers from cooperating this time.

I once thought that Waiters was like Jordan possessed, ignoring Irving asking for the ball, ignoring Hill plunging, ignoring Scott shouting!
Take off forcibly and shoot a three-pointer!
Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Waiters stubbornly looked up at the big screen, his eyes full of confidence, like a 17-year-old boy.

The Cavaliers finally scored, and the fans cheered and screamed, as happy as the rain after a long drought.

The other Cavaliers also applauded, but Irving looked depressed, like a child who has been robbed of a lollipop.

Turning to the Lakers to attack, Li Yue held the ball high at the top of the arc, waiting for his teammates to move without the ball.

However, the speed effect of the Cavaliers' three-guard lineup appeared, and after multiple screens, the power still ran out of favorable opportunities to catch the ball.

There were only 8 seconds left in the attack time. Li Yue decided not to wait any longer.

Alonzo jumped up and stretched out his big hands impatiently to seal the cover, like a fish seeing bait.

Li Yue then took off and shot, the two collided in the air, and the referee whistled for a foul.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!The basketball hit the hoop and bounced twice before falling into the Nets, and sighs were heard instantly.

"You're a super jerk!"

"Foul cowards, stay away!"

"Los Angeles players are all sissies!"

"You'll never catch LeBron!"

Two bearded white fans shouted wildly behind the rack, spilling beer everywhere.

Li Yue stood on the free throw line and took the basketball. Despite the boos all over the court, he made a steady hit and added a penalty.

After scoring [-] points in a row, Goodlock danced and celebrated on the bench, like he was in a nightclub.

Thackeray frowned, as if depressed that someone would steal the limelight from him waving the towel.

...

ESPN commentary seats.

Brin picked up the statistics sheet: "Li Yue seems to be the main scorer tonight, and currently has zero assists."

"His style of play hurts the team by holding the ball too much, and he doesn't know how to use this time to develop the touch of his teammates. It will be too late to pass to his teammates when he feels cold, and the 11-point lead will soon be tied. .” Jaylen Rose showed a 'heartache'.

Van Gundy spread his hands: "This is normal. He needs to prove that he is not a system player. Don't you often emphasize this?"

...

Easy-side Cavaliers attack, Irving catches the ball in the backcourt and pushes forward, crossing the center line and raising his hand to direct the team to stand.

Miles and others immediately followed suit, only Waiters moved slowly, seemingly resisting.

Seeing this, Li Yue gave Blake and Artest a look, implying that he saw the opportunity to double-team.

Just when he was worried about whether the two could understand his hint, Owen rushed to the top of the arc and directly intervened.

The basketball rebounded into the net, and the Cavaliers caught up to 6 to 14. The fans cheered and applauded.

Li Yue was stunned on the spot, deeply doubting whether his strategy was wrong, but he quickly realized that the Cavaliers had already started playing blindly, and it didn't matter if the opponent scored two more goals like this, the Lakers could easily chase them back.

Thinking of this, Li Yue turned around and ran to the front field, taking a position on the right wing ahead of time.

When Blake rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, he immediately rushed up to catch the pass and strode to the left.

Seeing that Alonzo was chasing close to him, he stopped the brakes suddenly, pulled the ball in front of his body, switched to his right hand, and went straight into the middle.

Miles moved laterally to intercept, and Li Gao threw the ball.

Clark took the ball in two strides, met Tristan to defend, and passed the ball to Hill.

boom!The basketball bounced off the board and into the net.

Tristan picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds. Owen caught the ball and ran towards the frontcourt, completely ignoring the position of his teammates.

Blake chased wildly, and chased to the frontcourt penalty area in three seconds, but he was never thrown away.

But Irving still combined his hands with the ball, and started three steps as if he felt uncomfortable when he made a layup.

when!The basketball bounced off the rim and fell.

Li Yue, who was following behind, stood up and stretched out his hands to the basketball at the same time as Alonzo.

One of the two is tall and has long arms, and the other has an amazing bullet speed, and neither of them took advantage.

The basketball was forced to jump up, Li Yue weighed it for a moment, and pushed Alonzo and Irving away with his hands behind his back.

Blake easily got the rebound, landed and rushed forward. Li Yue did not follow up, but continued to delay Alonzo and Owen.

At the same time, Artest also blocked Waiters.

Blake rushed into the three-second zone of the front court smoothly, facing the unguarded rim, and easily hit the board.

The point difference returned to 10 points, Scott yelled to be calm on the sidelines, and the fans booed sporadically.

Owen went to the backcourt to catch the ball with a little displeasure, and Li Yue immediately gestured to Blake, suggesting a close press.

It's a pity that Blake just turned around and didn't see it, but was discovered by Scott, and the plan had to be cancelled.

In a blink of an eye, Owen came to the top of the arc and moved to the right under the cover of Tristan, but failed to get rid of Blake's defense.

Alonzo stepped forward to cover for the second time, and Li Yue had an idea, beckoning to double-team.

Irving retreated in a hurry and scored the ball immediately when he got the space.

But Alonzo stopped in place after receiving the ball and did not attack, Li Yue calmly ran back to defend.

Irving circled back to the top of the arc to catch the ball and reorganized the offense with 13 seconds left on the attack.

With the help of Miles' cover, Irving finally got rid of Blake and rushed to the left elbow area, facing Clark to change defenses, and made an emergency stop jumper.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

There was a sigh at the scene, but Miles grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Waiters.

Swish!Into the network.

Waiters turned around smartly, and the Quicken Loans Arena burst into applause, and several fans on the sidelines shouted 'We need you more'.

Irving's face was extremely ugly, Scott's face was full of pain, and the Cavaliers' bench was silent.

Li Yue saw it, and ran to the front court, recalling all kinds of news related to the Cavaliers.

Waiters publicly criticized Irving and Tristan for not passing him the ball before, and also criticized Irving for being allowed to be lazy on the defensive end by the coaching staff, and he would be accused by the coaching staff if he didn't work hard.

As a result, the Cavaliers held two consecutive player meetings, and then relegated Waiters to the bench.

The person who can have this influence is naturally Irving, but the most interesting thing is that Irving and Waiters have known each other for seven years. Irving also specially held a welcome ceremony for Waiters. The two played together and are often called brothers in basketball by fans. .

After thinking about it, the referee suddenly blew his whistle and called Myers to block the foul, and the Lakers won the sideline ball.

Blake sat on the ground covering his left leg and knee, and Li Yue hurried up to ask if it was OK.

Blake sat for a while, trying to move his left knee, indicating that there was no problem and he could continue.

But D'Antoni shook his head again and again, and waved to Goodlock, who was sitting at the end of the bench, to signal for a replacement.

Li Yue smiled immediately when he saw this, and he was able to join hands with Goodlock to show what real brother basketball is, even though the two have known each other for less than two years.
