I just play ball

Chapter 47 Belly Pass
"Put it on me!" Li Yue patted his chest confidently, turned and walked into the arena.

The short whistle sounded, and the players of the two teams settled down. Li Yue also saw the matchup situation clearly, except for himself and Pierce, point guard Nash vs. Bradley, shooting guard Kobe vs. Courtney, power forward Gasol Against Bath, center Howard against Garnett.

"Well done young man, keep it up," Pierce said, chewing gum, hands on hips.

"Thank you." Li Yue replied casually, feeling that something was wrong and couldn't tell.

Say harsh words before the game, lock them down, encourage them at the start of the game, add carrots and sticks, is this a routine?
Before he could think about it, the whistle sounded continuously.

The referee walked to the middle circle with the basketball in his arms, patted it lightly on the ground, raised his hands and threw it upwards.

Howard and Garnett collided in the air and touched the basketball almost at the same time, but neither of them grabbed it.The two fell together with the basketball. Garnett's standing high advantage showed, and he didn't take off a second time, and directly moved the ball back sideways.

Bass received the hand, turned around and passed it to Bradley, the Celtics attacked first, and the North Shore Garden resounded with cheers instantly.

D'Antoni deliberately adjusted his defensive strategy before the game, letting Kobe focus on Bradley, and Nash turned to guard Courtney.

Li Yue chased Pierce to the right corner, half-turned to observe the direction of the basketball.

Bradley passed the ball to Courtney from the top of the arc, followed by Bass to cover the bottom line and shift to the left half.

Bryant came around and intercepted, and at the same time, Pierce started to sprint, and Courtney passed the ball to Garnett.

Li Yue slid sideways to catch up, but was delayed by Bass' second cover, so he dodged and squeezed to chase.

But in such a short time, Pierce rushed to the middle of the free throw line and successfully received a pass from Garnett.

Seeing that there was no interference, Li Yue loudly reminded the defense, and turned around and rushed to the basket.

As soon as the words fell, Pierce jumped up and made a mid-range shot, and Howard stepped forward to block the shot.

when!The basketball smashed and fell.

Li Yue caught it, turned around and passed it to Nash, and the Lakers launched a counterattack.

The small V-shaped position in the front court, Kobe put his back against Courtney to catch the ball, Nash rushed to the free throw line and used Gasol to cover and cut to the right.

The Celtics defensive center of gravity quickly shifted to the right, leaving only Pierce on the left sideline, and Kobe passed the ball decisively.

Li Yue received it, implemented D'Antoni's tactics before the game, and took advantage of the trend to pass a low pass to the left.

Howard took the ball, put his back against Garnett, turned forward easily, and shot a small throw directly at the ring.

The basketball hit the basket and rebounded into the net. The Lakers led 2-0, and boos were everywhere.

Garnett picked up the basketball, stepped back out of bounds, and slammed it into the court with both hands.

Bradley received the hand and pushed forward quickly, rushed to the front field to brake to slow down, and turned towards the top of the arc.

Garnett, who was rushing up, stretched out his hands, and Gasol subconsciously reached out to intercept, but Garnett's catch was just a fake move, and he actually accelerated to the left elbow.

At the same time, Pierce started from the left sideline, and Bradley also turned to the left.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue chased and recalled, and the classic Celtic tactic emerged in his mind-the elbow zone support and then counter-running for an empty layup. Often Garnett played against Pierce, Allen, and Rondo.

Sure enough, as soon as Pierce received the pass, he immediately gave it to Garnett, and he pulled back and ran back.

Li Yue immediately twisted his hips to catch up. Pierce received a pass back from the short corner and rushed towards the basket.

At this time, the basket was empty, and the fans on the scene saw signs of scoring and cheered in advance.

Snapped!Just as Pierce lifted the ball above his head before he could take off, Li Yue slapped it into the air, and the cheers in the North Shore Garden suddenly disappeared.

But a second later, the referee blew his whistle and punished Li Yue for a foul, and the cheers sounded again, even more violently than before.

Li Yue held his head in his hands, thousands of beasts whizzed by in his heart, and blurted out: Why?
The probability of fouling after the offense is indeed very high, because it is too easy to violate the cylinder, which is why many field courts directly regard the offense as a foul, but Li Yue is very sure that he did not touch Pierce at all.

The referee did not explain, and gestured to indicate that Pierce had not yet formed a shot, and the Celtics served the baseline ball.

Kobe waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and Li Yue nodded to express his understanding.

The Celtics quickly completed their tactical positioning. Pierce, Bass, and Garnett moved along the white line of the three-second zone on the right, from the outside to the inside, and moved to the bottom line. Courtney squatted on the left In the side bottom corner, Bradley is responsible for serving out of bounds.

Li Yue saw it in his eyes, and Miao Miao recognized that this was a bumper car tactic after the roll cut, and with Kobe sitting under the basket, he immediately made up his mind.

The referee whistled, Pierce moved and ran from the outside, and Bass stepped back to delay.

Li Yue pretended to catch up, but actually paid attention to Bradley's movements, with his upper body and toes pointing towards the bottom line.

Pierce rushed to the basket, and Bradley pushed the ball.

Seeing this, Li Yue immediately slid and moved sideways, blocking Garnett who was about to pop up to catch the ball like lightning.

Successfully intercepted, but the basketball hit his throat, Li Yue felt unwell, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it.

Bradley was stunned for 0.05 seconds, and then strode into the court, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, clearly wanting to press.

In the blink of an eye, the basketball fell to his waist. Li Yue endured the discomfort in his throat, and with an idea, he pulled his belly in and pushed forward!
Belly pass!

Kobe received it and pushed it forward. Nash coordinated on the left side, and the Lakers went down quickly.

There were boos at the scene, the whole Celtics team chased after them, and Li Yue also turned around to follow up.

Kobe rushed to the front three-point line with the ball, facing Courtney's defense, changing hands and shaking continuously.

Once, twice, three times, suddenly took off, but the basketball did not fly to the hoop, but to the right.

Li Yue, who followed up, took it in his hand, raised his hand to aim at the basket, and jumped up against Pierce.

boom!The two collided in the air, and Li Yue fell backwards to the floor.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul, and the Celtics fans shouted NONONO.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!The basketball hit the rim and rebounded twice, and fell into the net with a thud. Artest jumped up from the bench and roared with his fists.

3+1!

Kobe pulled Li Yue up, smiled and squeezed his shoulders, "Do you want to pause?"

Li Yue waved his hands and shook his head, and stood straight to the free throw line.

There was a lot of booing at the scene, Li Yue took the referee's pass, patted it twice, raised his head and prepared to shoot.

That once thought, just behind the ball frame, a young Caucasian man squinted his eyes and swayed his hands left and right in the air, deliberately pretending not to see clearly.

"After the game is over, I will sue the league and ban you from watching the game for life." Li Yue stopped his movements and shouted at Fat Boy.

The players on the field were confused by the words, and the referee didn't understand, so he blew his whistle to warn him not to delay the time.

Li Yue smiled and threw the basketball into the net. The Lakers led 6-0.

Bass served from the bottom line, Bradley received the ball and was about to dribble forward when the referee suddenly stopped the game.

The fans at the scene were full of doubts. The big-screen camera was shown behind the ball rack, and two security guards walked to the seat of a young Caucasian man.

...

Inside the TNT studio.

"We've seen Jason Williams elbow pass, we've seen Nash's overhead pass, we've seen Billups pass on Kobe's back, we've seen Kerry Kittles' knee pass, and today we've seen Lee Pass the ball over the belly!" Kenny Smith said excitedly.
