I just play ball

Chapter 453 A New Chapter of the Era

The atmosphere in the arena was slightly depressed. Li Yue stretched out his hand and pulled Kobe and Iguodala to stand up. He twisted his left ankle to test whether there was any pain. When he found that everything was fine, he quickly walked to the Lakers bench.

"Why didn't you foul early?" A young man with dreadlocks shouted with his eyes wide open.

When asked such a question, Li Yue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately entered a state of thinking.

The Cavaliers did not timeout. As long as the foul prevents Irving from hitting a three-pointer, even if Irving makes two free throws, the Lakers can control the ball and force the Cavaliers to foul in turn. Even if the Lakers miss two free throws, the Cavaliers will have more time. few.

After all the calculations, the difference is one goal and two goals. If there is an early foul, it will be more difficult for the Cavaliers to tie.

Of course, the premise is that the time is perfectly grasped, and the foul cannot be too early or too late.

If it is too early, there will be a lot of offensive time left, and the Cavaliers have the ability to organize the offense.

If it is too late, it may just catch up with Irving to shoot, which will be three free throws.

In two seconds, Li Yue thought about the reason, smiled and said: "I didn't realize it at the time..."

The young man with dreadlocks showed an angry expression: "You ruined Kobe's perfect performance, you..."

"Shut up!" Kobe stopped him, and the young man with dreadlocks suddenly died down.

Li Yue still smiled, returned to the bench, took the towel, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck.

"We played very well, we played very well, they scored by luck." D'Antoni said, "I don't need to make any changes, just continue to persevere and wait for the goddess of luck to stop favoring them."

All the generals of the Lakers nodded. As a player who has played for at least ten years, Irving has seen that situation a lot.

"Li, do you have anything to say?" D'Antoni asked, his eyes full of hints.

Li Yue smiled when he saw this, knowing that the coach wanted to help him get out of the embarrassing situation. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to be shaken to an absolute level. If he said a few words on the scene and then led the team to win the game, it would be perseverance pull story.

"Brothers, all classic basketball games will have a twists and turns. Now the Cavaliers have created this process. What we have to do is to be the winning side of the classic game. We are the strongest team. We don't need the goddess of luck. We can do it with our own hard work." After Li Yue finished speaking, he raised his right hand high and signaled Kobe with his eyes.

All the players raised their hands one after another, Kobe took the lead in shouting 'YES WE CAN', and the whole team echoed in unison.

...

The long whistle sounded and the game continued.

The two teams re-jump the ball, and the players on both sides stand around the center circle. Point guard Kobe vs. Irving, shooting guard Iguodala vs. Shumpert, small forward Li Yue vs. LeBron, power forward James Jones vs. Davis, center Gasol vs. TT.

The referee tossed the ball lightly, Gasol jumped up, touched the ball first, and moved back with force.

The basketball flew to the Lakers half court, Kobe received it with a step, and the Lakers launched an attack first.

The announcer yelled for guidance, the audience chanted LetsGoLA, and the Lakers settled into a V-shaped formation.

Kobe ran across the center line with the ball, Gasol set up a wall screen at the top of the arc early, and Shumpert chose to go around the back.Gasol took the initiative to fight with the body and pushed Shumpert to walk in. Shumpert reacted a little slowly and didn't have time to speed up, so he quickly called for a change of defense.

TT hurriedly stepped up to grab, bowed his knees, spread his hands flat, and tried his best to obstruct Kobe.Meanwhile, Gasol half-pushed, half-pulled Shumpert to the left halfway, and the Lakers got a chance for a good matchup.

Kobe stopped the ball and turned around, and Iguodala tacitly raised it from the left corner, raised his hand to catch the ball, and then raised it high.

This is a typical triangle attack starting style, the top of the arc is passed to the flank, and the flank is hung at the waist.

Seeing that Gasol turned his back and waved his hand to signal, LeBron let go of Li Yue decisively, started running from the short corner on the right, crossed the paint area to the left waist, and actively replaced Shumpert to defend. After all, defending Gasol before was very difficult. success.

Perhaps it is also clear that Loeb's defense is too strong, or it may be that seeing Li Yue is open, Iguodala raised his hand and passed back.

Kobe received the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and passed to the right wing.

Davis received the ball, turned around and passed to the right corner, and Shumpert rushed to defend.

Li Yue received the ball with his left hand, slumped his shoulders and lowered his waist, facing Shumpert's defense, dribbled the ball to the waist on the right, and then sat with his back, squeezed into the paint three times in a row, turned back easily and took off, his right hand Throw wipe board.

boom!The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net, 112 to 110.

Cheers broke out in the arena, Li Yue scored his 36th point, and the game ended with 4 minutes and 42 seconds left.

Shumpert serves from the baseline, and LeBron catches the ball and advances.

"The previous speech must be realized, otherwise it will be a joke." Li Yue made up his mind to stop and wait at the center line, and must exert pressure throughout the process, forcing the Cavaliers to make mistakes as much as possible, making it more difficult for the Cavaliers to score.

LeBron ran across the center line with the ball, immediately lowered his center of gravity, stood sideways against Li Yue, and raised his arms to protect the basketball.

Shumpert ran up to cover, LeBron took the opportunity to turn around and get rid of it, Kobe immediately moved laterally and switched defenses.

There was no defense at the basket, Shumpert turned around and cut inside, and Li Yue blocked the interception.

The two wrestled and entangled, from the LOGO position, all the way to the free throw line.

Shumpert suddenly fell to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded almost simultaneously, and Li Yue got a blocking foul.

Li Yue showed helplessness and didn't gnaw. Before Gasol didn't blow up the position like that, and he was blown up like this. From the perspective of the overall income of the Lakers, it can be said that he has lost nothing, but he is worried that he has been backed four times. Foul, resulting in six fouls off.

The Cavaliers kicked off again from the sideline of the front court. LeBron caught the ball and moved slowly, then suddenly raised his hand and threw it to the left.

Irving received the ball from the left wing, used the TT screen to get rid of Kobe, and quickly ran to the top of the arc.

With 8 seconds left on the offensive clock, Irving bowed and dribbled the ball, putting on a one-on-one stance, but Kobe's defense was like a majestic pass, and Irving didn't dare to start for a long time. Seeing this, LeBron moved laterally to cover the wall.

Owen took the opportunity to pull the ball away, Li Yue switched defenses to intercept, and the two moved along the right sideline.

The speed of the two is extremely fast. Irving is a small guard after all, and his body is more agile. The difficulty factor exploded.

when!The basketball hit the basket and was caught.

"Grass!" A spectator on the sidelines shouted to vent, letting the ice cream in his hand fall to the ground.

Li Yue also felt a pain in the ass. This kind of ball can be thrown, which can only be said to be luck and good touch.

"Irving once again scored under Li Yue's defense. I believe the media is ready to use 'history repeats itself' as a keyword to publish news. I suggest adding a 'legacy battle' because LeBron mentioned before the game that Irving is very good... "

The Lakers kicked off from the bottom line, the Cavaliers pressed hard, Iguodala received the ball and advanced, ran across the center line and passed it to Kobe.

Gasol set up a wall screen at a 45-degree three-point line on the left, followed by an inside cut, and took Shumpert away again.

Kobe immediately threw the ball to the left corner, and Iguodala caught the ball and held it high, ready to hang again.

LeBron didn't dare to switch defenses, shouted loudly to double-team, Irving raised his foot and kicked the ball out of bounds.

The referee blew his whistle to call for a violation, signaling the Lakers to re-kick off from the left sideline, with 15 seconds left in the attack time.

D'Antoni raised his hand and made a gesture, and the Lakers players settled down according to the usual sideline ball tactics.

The referee whistled, Davis went up to catch the ball from outside the three-point line, and handed it to Kobe.Gasol set up a wall to cover at the top of the arc, and Kobe rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and it was another misplaced game TT.

TT is like a big enemy, Kobe hits the ground and passes the ball, Davis catches the ball on the right waist and hits James Jones with his back.

This is a bigger dislocation than Kobe vs. TT. Davis is overwhelmed by strength, and Jones' agility is not dominant. As soon as Davis bends his knees and exerts force, Jones stretches out his hand to slap the basketball, and only misses shouting at the referee. 'I fouled'.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle.

It's a pity that Davis raised the ball ahead of time, and the basketball hit the basket and bounced into the net, and a penalty was added for scoring.

"Very good, very good!" Kobe walked up to Davis and clapped his back.

LeBron walked up to Jones and said loudly, "It's okay, we'll call right back..."

Before the words fell, Blatter stretched out his hand and shouted, signaling Love to come on and replace him, and Jones left the field angrily.

Cheers erupted in the arena, and Li Yue applauded accordingly. Davis is commendable for his shot.

Especially at this critical moment, one point may determine the final outcome, which is very important.

With an additional penalty hit, the Lakers lead 115 to 112.

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving ran across the center line with the ball, stopped at the LOGO position and waited.

The rest of the Cavaliers moved around one after another, and quickly formed a 1 high and 4 low formation, and TT went up to the wall to cover.Irving accelerated with his shoulders down, rushed to the right elbow with a few strides, faced Gasol and Kobe's pincers, stopped and jumped, and raised his hand to pass the ball to the left.

Shumpert just rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the left with the help of Love's cover, received the ball and rushed to the free throw line, and faced Davis with a change of defense to intercept.

when!The basketball hit the rim and bounced upside down.

The three of Gasol crowded the basket and made a mistake.

TT jumped up, grabbed the offensive rebound with his left hand, turned around and threw it to the right corner.

Irving raised his hand to catch the ball, slowly brought it to the right wing, and used Shumpert's cover to get rid of it.

Kobe chose to bypass the screen to intercept, but Irving stopped and pulled the ball, turned around, and shot a three-pointer dryly.

Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and hit the net, 115 draws.

"Congratulations to Irving. The highest score in his career has exceeded [-]. Tonight's game is destined to become a classic in NBA history. Now both sides may become super-strong backgrounds. It depends on who can persist until the end!"

The Lakers attacked, and Iguodala took the ball to the right wing, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc.

Gasol received the ball and held it high, turned left and right to find someone, and the Cavaliers defended extremely tightly.

Seeing that he could not pass the ball temporarily, Gasol dribbled sideways to the right, and Iguodala rushed up to receive the pass back.

Gasol immediately ran to the right waist, raised his hand and raised the ball to signal, and Iguodala gave the ball again.

After several strong tops in a row, TT stood still, and Gasol could only forcefully turn forward and throw.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Li Yue looked at the landing point, accelerated to sprint and take off, and collided with LeBron in the air.

Both of them fell to the ground, and the basketball was forced out of bounds.

The referee blew his whistle to stop the game and informed the technical station that the possession of the ball needs to be determined through video playback.

"We're going to win!" LeBron lay on the floor and started talking trash, "Kyrie is invincible tonight."

"Invincibility also has a duration." Li Yue turned over and sat up, "There is not much time left for you."

The large central screen repeatedly played the video, and the referee watched it many times, giving the Lakers the right to the ball in the frontcourt.

The Lakers rearranged and Li Yue stood on the sideline to serve.

After several transmissions, the basketball fell into Gasol's hands again, and he still played TT with his back, but still failed to hit.

Davis ran and scrambled, missed and shot the ball out of the sideline, and the referee gave the Cavaliers the ball.

With 2 minutes and 45 seconds left before the end of the game, the announcer shouted for guidance, and the audience shouted for defense.

Irving dribbled the ball across the center line, beckoning frequently, and LeBron hurried up the wall.

Li Yue switched defenses and intercepted, and once again defended Owen alone.

The Cavaliers opened up the space, and Owen swayed continuously under his crotch, and suddenly rushed to the left.

Li Yue chased closely, and the two came to the left elbow in a blink of an eye. Owen jumped up and raised his hand without warning.

Li Yue subconsciously took off and stretched out his hand to block the shot, but Irving was in a moving state, which caused him to make a mistake of "cutting the boat and seeking the sword". He originally thought that he should have a shot of the basketball, but actually caught a shot of Irving's shoulder, and Irving still threw the ball.

The basketball smashed into the net, and the referee blew his whistle at the same time, giving an additional penalty.

"What did I say, what did I say, how about it?" LeBron threw out his braces and shouted loudly, standing at the top of the arc with his hands on his hips, his face full of confidence and pride, and he waved his hand to signal the Cavaliers bench to follow him and shout.

With a smile on his face, Li Yue looked up at the large central screen and found that he had been fouled 5 times.

Amidst the boos of the audience, Irving made an additional free throw, and the Cavaliers led 118 to 115.

"If I remember correctly, this was the first time the Cavaliers took the lead tonight, and the momentum is shifting."

"Irving just passed Li Yue for the third time to score. Will the fourth and fifth times be far behind?"

The Lakers attacked, and the Cavaliers pressed hard.

Iguodala took the ball across the center line, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc, Gasol caught the ball and turned to the right.Li Yue ran over, took over the pass, moved to the top of the arc, and patted the ball on the spot waiting for his teammates to move.

After several screens, Iguodala ran back from the bottom corner, strode to the left wing, and got a super wide open.

Li Yue raised his hand to pass the ball, and Iguodala rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 118 draws.

"This is where the Lakers are good. Iguodala can always hit the key ball, and other teams are difficult to defend."

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving dribbled the ball across the center line, and LeBron went up the wall ahead of time to perfectly block Kobe.

Li Yue changed his defense again, and with the mentality of not doing anything, he changed his defensive strategy and took the initiative to attack and press down.

The corner of Irving's mouth was slightly raised, with a slight smile on his face, he calmly pulled the ball back, and raised his hand to pass back to LeBron.

Kobe immediately went around behind him and took out the ball, but it was a pity that LeBron picked it up in an instant.

Considering Kobe's defensive disadvantage, Li Yue wanted to double-team laterally, but Irving ran to the left to open up space, so he could only follow.

Irving signaled to give it again, but LeBron didn't pay attention, and directly slumped his shoulders and lowered his waist, leaning close to him.

Kobe followed to the left elbow, Gasol stepped forward to help, and the two joined forces to pinch.

LeBron made a quick stop and threw the ball to the left corner.

Love received the ball and held it high, sideways to avoid Davis' dive, turned around and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line.

LeBron just stepped back, caught the ball and ignored Kobe's defense, and raised his hand to make a long shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

The Cavaliers lead 121 to 118.

Seeing Kobe grinning his teeth, Li Yue shouted that it was okay. The shot was indeed unexpected. First, the shot clock was about to run out, and Love himself could shoot three-pointers. Second, LeBron was not good at three-pointers, so he didn't pay attention. follow closely.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe ran across the center line with the ball, raised his hand to Igo on the left wing, and continued to run to the left.

Li Yue set up a wall to cover at the 45-degree position, Kobe took the opportunity to get rid of Shumpert and cut inside, and almost at the same time, Iguodala rushed to 45 degrees, handed over the ball, strode away to leave space, and clearly created a dislocation single situation.

Li Yue received the ball and turned to face the basket. Just as he was about to assume a three-threat posture, he saw that Kobe had already reached the paint area. At this time, there was no one guarding the basket, and Shumpert followed behind without putting pressure on him. He decisively passed the ball through. .

Kobe took the ball and took off, facing Shumpert's foul, and hit the board with a backhand.

The basketball hit the circle and entered the net. The referee whistled and gave an additional penalty.

There were cheers in the arena, and Shumpert rushed to the referee to express his innocence, but was ignored.

D'Antoni loudly reminded the audience to press, but who would have thought that Kobe would hit the iron with a penalty.

Love grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Irving. Irving took the initiative to pass it to LeBron, and the Cavaliers launched a counterattack.

Li Yue squatted to guard the LOGO, LeBron was still waiting with his back to protect the ball, and Irving ran up to set up a wall as a cover.

LeBron dribbled and shifted, facing Kobe at the 45-degree three-point line on the left, brewing for a moment, sinking his shoulders.Kobe stepped back slowly, deliberately avoiding physical contact, and LeBron also stopped abruptly and retreated, jumping up and making a long pass to the right.

The basketball flew to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, Owen received it, moved laterally to get rid of Li Yue, and rushed to shoot.

Li Yue reacted quickly enough, but Irving made a one-motion action, and the basketball flew past his fingertips.

bass!Hollow into the net.

The Cavaliers lead 124 to 120.

The Staples Center fell into a momentary silence, and even Nick Young looked nervous.

"Irving is making history, he has scored 57 points, come on, let's make the game more intense!"

The Lakers attacked, and Iguodala ran across the center line with the ball and handed it to Li Yue.

LeBron pressed close to the body, Li Yue held the ball high, scanned the entire half court, and focused on Kobe.

The Cavaliers' defensive rotation was excellent, but after the Lakers moved without the ball for three rounds, Kobe still got a wide open.

Li Yue immediately passed the ball, Kobe took off to face Love, and made a mid-air backward shot.

The basketball crashed into the net, and the Lakers chased 122 to 124. Many spectators spontaneously shouted for MVP.

"From the scene, Li Yue's role seems to be very small, but you never expect that he has already scored 20 assists, and has 36 points and 11 rebounds. He is also walking on the path of making history, and he may be the only one. "

The Cavaliers attack and LeBron dribbles the ball across the center line.

Li Yue still squatted to guard the LOGO, Irving still ran up to cover the wall, LeBron still dribbled away, and Kobe still chose to switch defenses. This game between the two teams completely became the exclusive stage for their four superstars.

But for some reason, LeBron didn't choose to rush, but passed the ball to Irving and made a reverse screen.

Owen rushed with the ball, Li Yue chased after him, and the two rushed to the paint area.

Irving jumped with the ball, moved laterally, ignored Gasol's interference, and forced a shot to pick the basket.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul, Irving got two free throws, and the Lakers requested a short timeout.

"Irving passed Li Yue again. Although he didn't score directly, it was almost the same. History repeats itself!" Barkley shouted excitedly, "I can't wait to see the post-match news. It will be hot for at least two days."

...

Back from the timeout, there were thunderous boos in the arena, Irving made two free throws, and the Cavaliers led 126-122.

The Lakers attacked with 58 seconds left in the game.

Li Yue ran to the bottom corner on the right, recalling Kobe's words "I'll leave it to you" during the timeout.

Just thinking about it, Kobe took the ball to the right wing, threw it to Gasol at the top of the arc, and then strode to the bottom corner on the right, setting up a wall to block LeBron.Li Yue took the opportunity to start and get rid of LeBron and rush to the right wing. This is the simplest tactic.

Gasol immediately passed the ball, Li Yue took off the ball, ignoring Irving's interference from switching defenses, Yan Ye shot a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 125 to 126.

The Cavaliers attacked, and the audience chanted defense.

Irving ran across the center line with the ball, and LeBron used the screen to lift up and catch the ball at the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Irving took advantage of the situation to make another screen, and Kobe switched defenses to catch up.

It is still the 45-degree three-point line on the right. LeBron dribbled for a long time, and suddenly he jumped with the ball and stepped back for a three-pointer.

Kobe didn't react at all, the basketball crashed into the net, and the Cavaliers led 129 to 125.

"What the hell? LeBron is going to fade back threes?"

"Compared to the three-point fadeaway, the hell is that the Cavaliers can make every attack, but the Lakers miss a free throw."

With 32.4 seconds left before the end of the game, D'Antoni did not dare to request a timeout, and Blatt yelled to press.

The Cavaliers focused on taking care of Li Yue and Kobe. Iguodala dribbled the ball across the center line, and Gasol caught the ball and held it high.

The Cavaliers tried their best to expand the defensive line. Li Yue used the screen to go around the middle circle to catch the ball, and then used the screen to rush to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. It was still Irving's defense, and it was still in that position. It was about to finish 24 seconds when the basketball suddenly took off and glided .

when!The basketball hit the basket, bounced, bounced again, and finally fell into the Nets. The Lakers chased 128 to 129.

The cheers were deafening, and with 6.8 seconds left before the end of the game, the Cavaliers requested a timeout.

In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley showed excitement: "YEAH, the lore or the lore failed!" '

Kenny laughed and said, "Li Yue hit two consecutive three-pointers over Irving's head. The two will face off tonight."

...

The time-out is over and the game continues.

Li Yue stepped into the court, keeping in mind the strategy formulated during the timeout, and must make a foul in advance.

The Cavaliers attack from the sideline of the front court, LeBron is responsible for the kick-off, and the others are concentrated at the free throw line.

The referee whistled, and JR, Jones, Miller, and Owen ran to the four positions respectively.

The Lakers players could only disperse and catch up. Irving easily caught the ball at the LOGO position and ran around.

Kobe was about to hug the foul, Irving suddenly raised his hand to pass the ball, LeBron came in to catch it, and went straight to the hoop.

That speed, that figure, is the Hulk sprinting across the open field.

Li Yue twisted his hips and turned around, chasing all the way to the paint area, and finally reached out and caught him.

But LeBron's momentum was too great, and Li Yue was thrown flying and slid out of the baseline. Fortunately, the referee whistled for a foul, and LeBron failed to score the ball, but there were only 3.9 seconds left in the game. It is extremely difficult to tie or kill.

The Cavaliers hurriedly made substitutions, and the Lakers also made adjustments. Both teams wanted to compete for possible rebounds.

The audience booed everywhere, LeBron stood on the free throw line, raised his hand and patted his chest, and took a deep breath.

bass!The first penalty was hollowed into the net, 128 to 130.

The boos became more violent, and the audience on the sidelines almost scolded their mothers. LeBron did not stand on the free throw line for a long time, deliberately waiting.

Standing at the top of the arc, Li Yue looked at the rebounding team composed of Gobert, Gasol, and Davis, thinking about what to do if there was an unexpected situation where the Cavaliers grabbed an offensive rebound.

Before thinking too much, LeBron raised his hand and sent the ball.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Gasol blocked Mozgov with his back, Davis reached out to stop TT, and Gobert stepped up to catch the basketball.

I once thought that Gobert had just touched the ball, and before he called a timeout, LeBron rushed to take off, stretched out his hand and slammed the basketball.

Snapped!The basketball is forced to fly along the middle.

Li Yue's eyes sparkled, he raised his hand to catch the basketball, turned around and ran forward.The audience was so nervous that they forgot to shout. Li Yue rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, sideways to avoid Owen's pounce, and raised his hand to make a long shot.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time, and a young man with dirty braids knelt down and worshiped with his hands folded on the sidelines.

The Lakers beat the Cavaliers 131 to 130!

Cheers suddenly resounded throughout the audience, and Nick Young led the team into the field, flying towards Li Yue.

"I feel a little illusory. Li Yue basically didn't make a shot in the fourth quarter and 4 minutes before overtime, but he scored 9 points in a row. Is this how the Cavaliers lost?"

"The director just told me that Li Yue is the only player in NBA history who scored 45 points, 20 assists and 10 rebounds. Mr. Oscar Robertson had two close stats. In comparison, Li Yue can be called a new player. The all-around player of the era, this game is the mark."
