I just play ball

Chapter 441 Persistence is King
On the court, the Lakers attack.

Price dribbled the ball to the left wing, patted it on the spot for three seconds, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc.

Gobert held the ball high and waited. Li Yue started from the short corner on the right and rushed to the three-point line with the help of Davis.

It was originally a simple move up with a cover, but Noah actually chose to get stuck in advance and teamed up with Butler to double-team, ignoring Davis at all, even if Davis can easily catch the ball and shoot, it seems that Davis is sure. Lack of mid-range shooting ability.

Li Yue stopped immediately. Since Gobert was emptied before and the result was to let Gobert catch and shoot himself, the same standard should be used for Davis, otherwise he would appear less trustworthy and easily create estrangement.

Gobert hesitated for a moment and raised his hand to pass the ball. Davis caught the ball and then hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to shoot.

At the moment of the shot, Li Yue had an intuition that he was about to hit the iron, and hurriedly dodged around Noah, rushing to the hoop first.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Li Yue jumped up and raised his right hand to make a tip-up.

boom!The basketball bounced off the board and fell.

Li Yue jumped into the air, reached out to grab the basket with Nova at the same time, and picked up the basket with his left hand.

boom!The basketball hits the rim from the bottom up.

Li Yue and Nuoah took off on the spot and grabbed again, the basketball was forced to fly out.

Davis bent down and picked it up, hesitating as before, but Kobe got up and shouted to remind him to pass the ball to the left.Davis raised his hand for a cross, and Iguodala received the ball on the left wing, adjusted his posture calmly, and made a wide open three-pointer steadily.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yue lifted into the air like a loose spring. Under the attack of Noah and Boozer, and under the surprised eyes of everyone in the audience, Li Yue touched the basketball by [-] seconds before taking advantage of the situation. Hand split buckle!
Boom!The basketball went into the net, 24 to 20.

Cheers resounded in the arena, the volume was as loud as the BGM, and the Bulls were in a daze for half a second.

Thibodeau reacted, raised his hands and sighed, as if he didn't understand the double calculus in advanced mathematics.

How can a small forward grab three offensive rebounds in a row?
The Bulls kicked off from the bottom line, and Rose crossed the center line with a sprinter, and the referee whistled to stop the game.

At this time, there are 3 minutes and 36 seconds left before the end of the first quarter. This is the first timeout of the two teams, but it is also an official timeout. After all, the Lakers have had player changes, and on the Bulls side, Thibodeau can't wait for the five starters to continue playing the entire game. .

The Lakers returned to the bench, and Li Yue and Kobe gave high-fives.Nick Yang handed over the towel and rubbed his shoulders.

D'Antoni summed up the analysis, arranged for Clarkson and Beasley to appear, replaced Price and Gobert, and Davis changed to center.Originally, Beasley seldom played in this kind of time, but tonight's Christmas game is quite special, and it can be regarded as a gift.

The timeout ends in a blink of an eye, and the game continues.

The Bulls arranged for Ty Gibson to replace Noah, and arranged for 'Little Bu' Aaron Brooks to replace Rose.

The referee blew the whistle to count the time, and Xiaobu caught the ball from the center line and took it to the right wing, waiting on the spot.

At the same time, Butler and Dunleavy started from the left corner at the same time, and with the same cover of Boozer, Butler ran along the baseline to the right half, while Dunleavy ran along the sideline to the left 45-degree three-pointer Wire.

In a blink of an eye, Butler ran smoothly to the right waist, caught the ground pass with his back, and immediately twisted his hips and threw it into the paint. At this time, Dunleavy happened to cut in from the top of the arc with the help of Gibson. The two formed like this Pass and cut cooperation.

One thing to say, there is really something about this tactic.

But Deng Lewei still couldn't get rid of Li Yue. Just as he reached out to catch the ball and raised his hand for a layup, he was slapped flying.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, whistled for an out-of-bounds violation, and gave the Bulls the right to the frontcourt baseline.

Li Yuebai picked up a block and reduced the Bulls' offensive time to only 11 seconds.

The audience cheered and applauded, the Bulls rearranged, and after some screen runs, Xiaobu caught the ball in the right corner.

At this time, the basket was empty, and Xiao Bu took advantage of the momentum and rushed straight to the basket.

After Li Yue interfered with Deng Lewei's serve, he turned around just in time to see Xiao Bu approaching him, and immediately raised his hands to continue the interference.

Xiao Bu suddenly stopped and took off, throwing with great force, like standing by the wall and throwing sandbags at the top of the wall.

when!The basketball hits the rim and bounces high.

Seeing that there was only 180 cm Xiaobu beside him, Li Yue took off calmly and easily grabbed the rebound.

The Lakers counterattacked, Li Yue dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, glanced at the half court position, and continued to move to the left.

Clarkson came head-on, took the hand-to-hand pass, pretended to use the cover to break through along the top of the arc, but actually stopped and changed direction, took two steps to reach the elbow area, and took off with the ball in one step, carrying Xiaobu in the air. , high-throw playing board.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, 26 to 20.

The Bulls attacked, Xiaobu rushed to the left wing with the ball, stopped to observe for a moment, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc.

Boozer received the ball, turned around and split the right wing, and then strode to the waist.

Dunleavy held the ball with both hands high, and chose to pass back a moment later.

Boozer received the ball and made a strong top with his back, but Beasley couldn't hold it, and the space was wide open.

Boozer turned back decisively, rushed along the baseline to the front of the ring, stopped and jumped with the ball.

It's a pity that before he made a shot, he was hugged by Beasley, and the referee whistled for a foul.

Beasley took the initiative to raise his hand, with a happy smile on his face. Anyway, there is no chance to score at the moment, so why not do it if he can help the team through tactical fouls?

Li Yue stepped forward to clap his hands, clapped his shoulders and said, "Well done, I understand what you think."

The audience booed everywhere, Boozer hit the first free throw, and hit the second free throw hollow.

Seeing the basketball caught, Beasley immediately raised his hands in celebration, as if he felt that his foul was worth it.

The Lakers attacked, Clarkson rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, bowed and patted and waited.

Li Yue lifted from the short corner with the help of a screen, caught the ball at 45 degrees on the right, put on a three-threat position, watched and waited.

After Clarkson passed the ball, he ran to the left. Buzz did not catch up immediately. Beasley immediately ran over from the left wing and set up a wall as a positioning screen. Boozer did not switch defenses and did not interfere with the pass. route.

Such loopholes may be because the Bulls insist on shrinking the defensive strategy of the inside, maybe it is because Boozer and Xiaobu are careless, or because they think that there will be no pass at all, and they simply don't care.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue turned sideways to the left wing and made a low-handed long pass to the basketball.

Clarkson reached out to catch it, stepped forward, ignored Boozer's dive, and forced a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 29 to 20.

The Bulls attacked, Xiaobu dribbled the ball to the left 70-degree three-pointer, and waited in a small area.

Dunleavy runs to the left wing on a Butler screen, and Butler cuts diagonally through the paint to set a screen for Boozer.

Seeing that Dunleavy was in place, Xiaobu raised his hand to pass the ball, and Dunleavy caught it in his hand, and immediately passed the short corner.

Boozer caught the ball with his back, bent his knees and hit Davis with force, still as immobile as before.

Clarkson also stepped forward to double-team, and Boozer was so scared that he quickly threw the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line.

This is a tactic the Bulls have played before. After Dunleavy passed the ball, he had already shifted to the right with the help of Xiaobu.

It's a pity that he still couldn't get rid of Li Yue's pursuit. Dunleavy caught the ball and wanted to pass it to Xiao Bu, who was temporarily unguarded, but Clarkson had already returned to the defense, so he had to pass the ball to Butler who stretched out the right sideline.

With 9 seconds left on the offensive clock, Iguodala approached close to him and assumed a standard defensive posture as before.

Butler couldn't shake around the ball, so he could only step and try frequently, but Iguodala still adjusted his center of gravity in time to deal with it.

In a blink of an eye, with only 5 seconds left in the attack time, Butler yanked the ball to move horizontally, wanting to retreat and stop and jump.

The movement was too obvious, Li Yue swooped decisively, jumped up almost at the same time, and raised his left hand to block the shot.

Iguodala also jumped up to interfere, and the two held down the basketball one after another, forcibly grabbing the risk.

Li Yue copied the ball and rushed forward, single-handedly rushing to the three-point line, but Butler turned around slowly, was delayed by Iguodala, and just crossed the center line, the other Bulls players couldn't keep up, and the rim couldn't catch up. People guard.

Kobe stood up and watched ahead of time, the audience held their breath, and the DJ turned off all the background music.

I saw Li Yue taking off with the ball, turning 360 degrees in the air, and dunking with a 'Carter-style' windmill!

Boom!The basketball blew into the net, the Lakers led 31 to 20, and the Bulls requested a timeout.

"Wow!" Kobe nodded sharply in admiration, his expression was very excited, and the cheers of the audience suddenly resounded throughout the arena.

In the TNT commentary seat, O'Neal stared at Barkley with a smile on his face, "Jimmy is indeed very tough, but after a while he becomes invisible. The most powerful is Li Yue's persistence. From the beginning to now, he can do every offense and defense. Contribute!"
