I just play ball

Chapter 424 The difference without the ball
On the plane before, when the coaching staff studied the tactics of the Cavaliers overnight, Li Yue accidentally glanced at them. The opponents of the Cavaliers' nine-game winning streak were all Eastern teams, and they even played against the Knicks twice, which is indeed a bit watery.

In a blink of an eye, Kobe took the ball to the top of the arc, and the other teammates fell into a V-shaped formation.

With the help of Landry's cover, Li Yue circled back to the right wing from the bottom line, took the basketball and adjusted his posture slightly, bent down and passed to Landry in the low post, and then strode towards the top of the arc, while Kobe ran towards him, Invisibly delaying LeBron to catch up.

Li Yue rushed to the top of the arc smoothly, received a pass back from Landry, and immediately went straight to the basket.

At this time, only Mozgov was defending the Cavaliers basket, and Gasol turned around and shot with a hook after receiving the ball.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.

Mozgov jumped up and caught the basketball, and handed it to LeBron immediately after landing. The Cavaliers launched a counterattack, and cheers rang out from the scene.LeBron raised his hand and made a long pass without hesitation, and the basketball flew to the left center line like lightning. Irving received it and rushed forward.

Love received a pass from Irving in the left corner, took advantage of Landry's unsteady footing, and made an emergency stop to shoot a three-pointer.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Gasol stuck Mozgov with his back, Clarkson jumped up and flew the racket, and Kobe picked it up and pushed it forward.

After running a few steps, he raised his hand and made a long pass.

Landry received the ball from the left wing of the frontcourt, rushed to the paint against a double siege, and suddenly threw the ball to the right corner. Li Yue just stood in the corner and received the ball steadily, ignoring LeBron's gesture. Threatening with hands, rushing to shoot a three-pointer.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Love grabbed the rebound and the Cavaliers launched a counterattack.

LeBron took the ball to the right wing of the front court, raised his hand without warning, and the basketball flew above the ring.

Mozgov jumped up, raised his hand to catch the basketball, and scored with a back kick.

"Yeahhhhhh!" Cheers rang out in the Quicken Loans Arena, and the score became 2-4.

The Lakers attacked, Clarkson dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and the team settled in a V-shaped formation.

After a little observation, Clarkson handed it to Landry, rushed to the right corner, and set up a wall to block LeBron.

Li Yue took the opportunity to run to the right wing, received a pass from Landry, and continued to run to the top of the arc.

At the same time, Gasol sets the screen on the left elbow, and Bryant takes the opportunity to get rid of JR and stride to the left 45 degrees.

Li Yue slowed down at the top of the arc and passed the ball.

Kobe received the ball, took advantage of the situation and raised it over the top, then bent over to avoid JR's lunge, moved half a step sideways, and jumped out of his hand to shoot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, and it was 4-4.

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and cooperated with Mozgov as a screen.

Li Yue took a look, then quickly turned his head to stare at LeBron, worried that the other party would easily move around without paying attention.

But LeBron was standing in the right corner, with no other signs except his slightly swaying hands.

Li Yue picked up his worries, turned his head and looked at the top of the arc, and found that Owen did not get rid of Clarkson through the cover.

The main reason is that the quality of Love's blocking is average. He looks like a generous body, but in fact he lacks confrontation. Moreover, Clarkson is also very fast. He just squeezes through. It's okay to say that Love's style of play is soft. .

Seeing that Irving's breakthrough was blocked, LeBron finally opened his legs, as if he was going to go up to meet him.

But Owen didn't even look this way, raised his hand and threw the ball to the left corner.

JR took the ball, started in a three-threat position, and dribbled to the left wing with the help of Mozgov's cover.

Kobe squeezed through the screen and chased like possessed. JR suddenly stopped, pulled the ball back very sharply, and rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 4 to 7.

LeBron pouted slightly and ran forward.

The Lakers attacked, Clarkson took the ball to the right wing, bent over and hit the ground to the elbow.

Kobe Bryant received the ball with his back, and did not split his strength to sit and hit JR, but observed the Cavaliers' defensive position.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue stepped on the ground, started running from the left wing position, and rushed to Gasol's side quickly.

It seems that he is going to use Gasol to cover the inside cut, but in fact he blocks Mozgov personally.

Gasol immediately turned around and went down. Relying on the advantage of being taller than LeBron, he raised his hands to receive the basketball, and directly put the basket on his feet.
This is the so-called holding high and hitting high!

The basketball hit the basket and fell, 6 to 7.

The Cavaliers attacked, Owen rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, and suddenly paused on the spot, as if he was observing something.

Just as LeBron raised his left hand and just opened his mouth, Irving suddenly accelerated and continued to sprint to the right.

Although LeBron was on the right wing, Irving rushed to the right elbow as if he didn't see it.

It's a pity that this kind of straight-line sprint speed is still not as good as Clarkson, who once broke the running record.

For a moment, Owen had nowhere to go. He stopped suddenly and switched to his left hand, moving in the opposite direction to the left.

Meanwhile, Mozgov put up a wall at the free throw line to help delay Clarkson.

Unexpectedly, Owen directly raised his hand to pass the ball, without any intention of using a cover.

JR received the ball on the left wing, took a step across the distance, ignored Kobe's interference from the side, and forced a three-pointer with a jump.

LeBron raised his hand and commanded the whole team to return to the defense quickly, and the basketball hit the circle with a "boom" and entered the net.

JR hit two consecutive three-pointers, showing the characteristics of a nerve knife player, and the whole person is in high spirits.

Cheers erupted in the arena, and half of the players on the Cavaliers' bench gave a standing ovation. The Lakers trailed 6-10.

The Lakers attacked, Clarkson took the ball to the left 45 degrees, hit the ground and passed it to Kobe in the elbow area.

Love stepped forward to double-team, Kobe turned around and hit the ground to pass the ball, but Landry's reaction was a little slow and he didn't hold it firmly.

The basketball landed and rolled, and the three Cavaliers bent down to press. JR succeeded in the chaos and immediately passed it to Irving.

At the same time, LeBron has rushed to the center line, Li Yue did not catch up immediately, he was the only one in the frontcourt, and the nearest one was the big center Pau Gasol, as long as he passed the ball, it can be said that there is a 90.00% probability of scoring .

LeBron also raised his hand to ask for it, but Irving didn't pass the ball. Instead, he rushed to the top of the arc with Clarkson's interference, put up his elbow to separate Gasol, and rushed to the basket forcibly, pulling the bar to hit the board with difficulty.

The basketball hit the backboard and rebounded into the net. The Cavaliers led 12 to 6. The audience chanted 'Irving' in unison.

"Although the goal was scored, it was really not the best choice." Li Yue felt emotional, thinking that Irving should pass the ball to LeBron for a fast break. Although the difficult goal just now was good-looking, it was a waste of energy. The risk is extremely high.

After thinking about it, Li Yue took the ball to the right wing and used Gasol to cover and break through the sideline.

LeBron squeezed through the wall first, blocking the way in.

Li Yue thought for 0.1 second, raised his hand and passed the ball to Clarkson in the left corner, turned around and ran to the top of the arc.

At the same time, Gasol removed the cover and cut in, and Kobe ran from the left 45 degrees to the top of the arc.

LeBron did not leave space in advance, and JR was blocked from catching up.Kobe took the opportunity to rush to the left 45 degrees, twisted his hips to the free throw line, received a pass from Clarkson, ignored JR's interference from the side, and forced a two-pointer with his hands.

Boom boom boom!The basketball hit the circle and rebounded twice and then fell into the Nets. The Lakers chased 8 to 12.

LeBron picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, raised his hand and sent it to Irving, and the Cavaliers launched a counterattack.

Owen rushed to the top of the arc, and Love stepped forward to set up a wall to cover, but after getting close to Clarkson, he immediately turned around and went down.Irving jumped up to pass the ball lob, and Love jumped up, facing the defense against Gasol, and forcibly caught the ball and put it to the basket.

Snapped!The sound of a cap sounded.

But Love took off again, caught the offensive rebound with his left arm, and landed behind Gasol.

Maybe it was because of the older grades, Gasol was squeezed away after carrying it twice, Love turned forward to take off, and shot backwards.

Beep!The referee whistled and whistled Gasol for a thug foul. The two-pointer was valid, and another penalty was given.

The audience chanted 'Love', and Li Yue said with a smile: "Why do you feel that offense has nothing to do with you?"

LeBron's original serious expression showed a smile instantly, and he said with his hands on his hips, "What? Learn from Kobe? Psychological tactics?"

Li Yue nodded with a smile, showing an expression of 'I understand', and walked quickly to the paint area to stand still.

Love made a free throw and the Cavaliers led 15 to 8.

The Lakers attacked and Clarkson dribbled the ball across the center line.

Bryant received the ball and threw it to Gasol on the left wing. With the help of Landry's cover at the top of the arc, he ran to the right waist and set up a wall to block LeBron.

Li Yue took the opportunity to mention 45 degrees to the left, and with this notice, Gasol threw the ball to Landry at the top of the arc.

Li Yue received the ball, surveyed the situation, hit the ground and passed it to Kobe, strode to the left waist, and blocked Mozgov with a wall.

While Landry stayed put, the two joined forces to form a door, and Gasol passed through it.

LeBron seemed to be aware of it and switched defenses decisively, but Gasol took advantage of his height to catch the ball and played high again.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Lakers chased 10 to 15.

The Cavaliers attacked and Irving dribbled the ball across the center line.

"Give the ball to LeBron, he hasn't played!" Blatt yelled from the sidelines, looking as if he was 20 points behind.

Irving raised his hand to direct, JR passed the paint area, from right to left, with the help of Love's cover, and circled to the 45-point line.

But Kobe always kept close to catch up, without leaving even half a body space.

Most of the offensive time was consumed, and Love mentioned that the left wing received the ball and waited with his hands raised high.

Seeing this situation, LeBron quickly started running from his right elbow, quickly rushed to his left waist, and put his back against Li Yue.

Love bent over and hit the ground to pass the ball, LeBron quickly caught it in his hands and hugged him tightly, afraid of falling.

Finally got the ball!

Li Yue was very moved, and retreated a small half step decisively, clearly wanting to let go and not let go.

In fact, the effect of using this defensive strategy is average, and the game at the psychological level has a greater impact, trying to interfere with LeBron's choice.

Coincidentally, I happened to see that Irving was still staying at the top of the arc, bowed and put his hands on his knees, as if he didn't intend to continue to participate in the offense.

The audience shouted and cheered loudly, LeBron crossed his steps, bent his shoulders and exerted strength, rushing to the bottom line.

Li Yue slid his feet to catch up, all the way to the basket, jumped up with the rhythm, and stretched out his hands to block the space.

Unexpectedly, LeBron gliding in the air, after flying over the hoop, resorted to a trick of 'looking back at the moon'.

boom!The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net. The Cavaliers led 17 to 10, and the audience chanted MVP.

The entire arena is celebrating LeBron's first score, and the fans are as comfortable as taking reassurance.

The Lakers attacked, Li Yue dribbled the ball across the center line, handed it over to Kobe, and screened by the way.

Kobe took the opportunity to break through, while Li Yue turned around and ran to his right elbow, setting up a wall to block Mozgov.

Gasol took advantage of the chaos and went down quickly, received a pass from Kobe, sideways withstood LeBron, and raised his hands to put the basket.

LeBron took off and slapped the backboard, and Gasol stopped the action midway.

When LeBron fell, Gasol really took off to put the basket, and he yelled for an additional penalty.

The basketball smashed into the basket and was caught, and the whistle sounded, and the referee fulfilled his desire for additional penalties.

LeBron spat out his braces with a displeased face, walked straight to the paint to take a stand, his chest heaved rapidly, and he glanced at the bench.

Being targeted by the same tactic three times in a row, but it still hasn't improved, everyone will lose face after such a change.

With boos from the audience, Gasol made a free throw and the Lakers chased 13 to 17.

The Cavaliers attacked, LeBron served the ball out of bounds, Irving caught the ball and ran wildly, without waiting for his teammates to follow up.

In a blink of an eye, Owen rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right side of the frontcourt, and there was only one Mozgov as a screen.

Irving didn't care about anything, and directly charged Clarkson, ignoring the attack from the three Lakers players, rushed into the paint area abruptly, faced Gasol's interference, bent his knees and kicked off the ground, as if he had an order to complete a set of dragon layups Score.

But after Gasol followed suit, Irving was discouraged.

He chose to twist his body in the air to pass the ball, but he didn't have the solid handwork of Sao Paulo, nor did he have the weird ideas of Ginobili. The basketball just flew straight to Mozgov, and Rand Li intercepted.

Kobe received the ball and pushed forward, rushed all the way to the left wing of the frontcourt, stopped suddenly and raised his hand, and made a long pass to the left corner.Li Yue has been lurking for a long time, catches the basketball and holds it high. Seeing LeBron rushing towards him, he decisively throws the ball to Clarkson who is following up.

bass!The three-pointer went into the net, and the Lakers chased 16 to 17, with 6 minutes and 28 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving dribbled the ball across the center line, passed it to Love at the top of the arc, and slowly ran to the right wing.

It seems to be an off-ball screen for LeBron, but at such a slow speed, it is tantamount to a crossover.

Li Yue was still sticking to LeBron's side, and Love saw that the risk of passing the ball was too high, so he quickly turned and faced to the left.

JR rushed up to take over the hand-off pass. He wanted to make an emergency stop and rush to shoot again, but he couldn't get rid of Kobe.

The basketball returned to Love, and he started in a three-threat position, and then forced Landry to face the basket.

The sideline is quite far from the paint area, and Love's speed is average, like the old man on the field, but Kobe suddenly shrinks and pinches.

Love hurriedly stopped the ball to protect, and subconsciously turned around to find someone, but there were only five seconds left in the attack time, and Kobe quickly returned to defense.

The Cavaliers bench shouted a reminder, Love forcibly turned forward, twisted his body and shot two points.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.

Gasol caught the rebound and the Lakers counterattacked.

Clarkson dribbled the ball across the center line. Kobe pretended to raise his hand to catch the ball, but in fact rushed to the left wing and used Gasol to cover the sideline.

Clarkson then arrived, also with the help of Gasol cover, quickly around 45 degrees to the left.

Irving followed him like a shadow, Clarkson stepped on his foot and raised his hand for a long pass, and Li Yue caught the ball at 45 degrees on the right, posing in a three-threat pose.

LeBron stood with his feet shoulder to shoulder, slightly bent his knees, raised his left hand high, and stretched his right hand towards Li Yue's belly.

Seeing such a standard single-defense posture, Li Yue gave up playing hard and raised his hand to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I want to save my energy. After all, LeBron hasn't played much, and there are plenty of opportunities in the future.

I saw Kobe put his back against JR, stepped forward and shook his shoulders, suddenly turned forward, and shot backwards in the air.

bass!The basketball was hollowed out and the Lakers overtook 18 to 17.

Blatter raised his hand to indicate that the Cavaliers requested a timeout, and the referee whistled to stop the game.

"So far, like LeBron, Li Yue has made 2 of 1 shots and only scored 2 points." Van Gundy said, "But Li Yue's contribution off the ball is far greater than LeBron's. I hope there will be changes in the future. .”

"Why is this happening? LeBron's off-ball skills are worse?" David questioned his soul.
