I just play ball

Chapter 471

The first quarter of the game quickly reached more than two minutes left. D'Antoni took advantage of the official timeout to replace Li Yue. Kobe continued to stay on the court to lead the team. On the Clippers side, Paul took a rest and Griffin led the team to attack.

With such a change, the Clippers' offensive level was okay, but the defensive end lacked a unified command. Kobe scored through easy runs one after another, and the Lakers did whatever they wanted. After the first quarter, they led 38-31.

After returning from the break, the Clippers' form did not improve. Paul was a little restless and applied to play again in advance.D'Antoni beckoned immediately, and Li Yue got up and walked to the technical platform.

According to the rules, the players who appear on the stage during the game first need to wait on the technical stage. Li Yue and Paul arrived at the same time. .

In a blink of an eye, Covington made a defensive foul, the referee blew his whistle to stop the game, and the two got up and walked into the court.

At this time, the Lakers led 43 to 36, and only played a little more than 1 minute in the second quarter.

Li Yue glanced at the Clippers lineup, which were Paul, Redick, Barnes, 'Big Baby' Glenn Davis, and Scabine Hawes, while his teammates were Price, Covington, Landry, Gasol.

With this lineup, regardless of offense and defense, he is the absolute main force. Li Yue is determined to pay more attention and must attack more.

After thinking about it, the referee blew his whistle and the game continued.

Paul ran the ball across the center line, raised his hand to Redick who came up on the screen, and cut inside with Hawes.

Li Yue pressed close to his body and repeatedly stretched out his hands to interfere with the dribble. Redick hurriedly pulled the ball back and threw it to the top of the arc.

Hawes held the ball high and feinted to shoot a three-pointer, but Gasol chose to stay at the free throw line.

The audience booed and booed to interfere. Hawes, who has the ability to hold the three-pointer, held the ball for a long time but did not dare to make a shot. Then he put down the basketball and turned to the right. cross.

Maybe it feels like the opportunity is good. Redick got rid of the ball and took off in an instant, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Price grabs the rebound, turns and drives down the middle, inadvertently facing up to Redick.

The two teams rushed up very fast, Paul didn't dare to go up to change defenses, so he had to look for Li Yue nearby.

The dislocation advantage was thus formed. Li Yue stopped at the 45° three-point line on the left, lowered his center of gravity and locked his position, while Nick Young and others eagerly shouted reminders from the bench. Price quickly threw the ball over. Run to open up space.

Li Yue received the ball with both hands raised high, turned around and faced the basket in a three-threat pose, thinking about how to get a shot, the big baby stepped up to double-team, and Landry was absolutely open at the free throw line.Seeing this situation, Li Yue hit the ground and passed the ball.

Landry received the ball and brewed for a moment, then he kicked off the ground calmly, made a steady mid-range shot, and the basketball was hollow into the net.

"Don't double-team, don't need to double-team, remember!" Paul emphasized loudly, his tone slightly irritated.

The big baby looked embarrassed and turned to look at the Clippers bench. At this time, Rivers put his hands on his hips and looked puzzled.

The Clippers attacked, and Paul slowly dribbled the ball forward, shouting, gesticulating, and repeatedly commanding moves.

The three of Barnes hurried to the left elbow area, leaving Hawes alone in the right elbow area. Just when Paul dribbled the ball across the center line, Redick rushed to the top of the arc with the help of a screen, and Li Yue circled After crossing the wall to catch up, he was obviously two positions behind.

The strange thing is that Paul didn't pass the ball, Li Yue hurriedly chased him, and Redick stopped and ran back.

The two ran back and forth like this. Redick ran back three times in a row, and finally circled to the 45° line on the right. He reached out to catch the pass from Paul. what's the situation.

Gasol quietly moved laterally to the edge of the impact zone to stand still, and Redick then hit him head-on.

The Clippers bench yelled 'block', and the referee whistled for 'offensive foul'.Redick slumped on the ground, panting and said: "Are you serious? Offensive foul? I've already started with the ball, didn't you see it?"

The referee turned his head and stared, Redick turned a blind eye, pulled Barnes up, and wanted to continue the theory.

Barnes quickly pulled him away. This is not Redick's usual style. A calm pitcher has become a chatterbox.

Li Yue took a deep breath and strode towards the frontcourt, knowing why Redick was so excited. The movement just now was a lot of trouble, but it felt a little bit of a failure in the end. After successfully completing the defense, I will feel a little embarrassed, and emotional management is extremely easy to lose control.

Between thoughts, Price dribbled the ball past the pass and raised his hand to Landry at the top of the arc.

Li Yue started running from the left bottom corner, raised to the left wing with the help of cover, reached out to catch the pass, and raised his left hand to observe.

Barnes pressed close to the body, with great movements, and showed no sign of worrying about fouling.Li Yue took advantage of the trend to cross and stride, dribbled the ball with his left hand and walked to the sideline, twisted his hips and rushed into the elbow area.

when!Smashing the basket and rebounding.

Landry jumped up and dunked the ball with both hands, but unfortunately the dunk flew.

The audience sighed, Redick picked up a rebound on the left sideline, and the Clippers launched a fast break.

Paul received the ball at the top of the arc, quickly brought it to the free throw line in the front court, turned around without looking at anyone, and threw it to the 45° three-point line on the left at will, while Hawes followed up and received the ball, making another pass while cutting in from the left baseline big baby.

Covington hastily shrunk and intercepted, and the big baby easily turned around and broke through, picking the basket with low hands and scoring.

With this one-handed operation, the characteristics of being flexible and fat were fully displayed, and the Clippers caught up to 38 to 45 points.

The Lakers attacked, and Price dribbled the ball across the center line. After observing for a while, he passed the top of the arc.

Landry went up to catch the ball, turned around and threw it to the right wing, Covington held the ball high and waited.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue started running from the short corner on the left, and ran to the waist on the right with the help of Gasol's cover. He was about to catch the ball with his back, when he suddenly felt a powerful force coming, and he jumped up involuntarily. Towards the sideline, almost fell.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul by Barnes.

Li Yue stood firm, took a deep breath to calm down, knowing that this was an outside move by his opponent, it was best not to get angry.

"Really? This should be counted as a flop, right?" Barnes' tone was quite gentle, standing still with his hands on his hips, assuming the posture of a junior high school dean, as if he wanted to have a good chat with the referee, and Full of confidence.

The referee ignored it completely, and the Lakers kicked off from the right sideline.

Price used the screen to go around, caught the ball and threw it to the left waist immediately, and Li Yue caught the ball with his back.

Barnes lowered his center of gravity to stop the effort, and Li Yue pulled the ball sideways and retreated, imitating the golden rooster to shoot independently.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 47 to 38.

The Clippers attacked, Paul took the ball to the right wing, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc, and cut into the bottom corner along the sideline.

The big baby catches the ball and protects his waist. After waiting for a while, he turns and dribbles towards the right wing.

Li Yue saw it, and immediately walked around the wall, planning to go straight to the three-point line to intercept.

Unexpectedly, Redick feinted a shot, twisted his hips and diverted to cut inward, and Li Yue had no choice but to follow in.

And Paul turned around suddenly, raised his hand to catch the pass from the big baby, and took advantage of the situation to hit the basket with a cover.

Redick took Li Yue away with his front foot, and Paul arrived with his back foot. At this time, the basket was empty.Landry quickly moved laterally to intercept, and the big baby took the opportunity to run back and cut in. Paul seemed to be prepared, and passed the ball almost at the same time without looking at anyone hitting the ground.

The pass was very badass, and Li Yue hurriedly moved laterally from the short corner on the left to defend, and blocked the big baby head-on.

But the big baby didn't give up, turned forward, raised his hand to separate the space, and shot the ball with a small hook.

Perhaps in that moment, Big Baby felt that he had returned to the peak. All his technical movements were completely accurate and his rhythm was perfect.

Snapped!Li Dawei slapped the basketball with his hat.

The arena immediately resounded with cheers, but Barnes started from the top of the arc, raised his hand to grab an offensive rebound, took advantage of the situation and inserted into the basket, and before the Lakers could react, he easily hit the rebound and scored, which was completely in vain. visit a prostitute.

Li Yue curled his lips and shook his head. At the same time, he picked up the basketball and stood out of bounds, then threw it into the field.

Price catches the ball and runs wildly. With the help of Landry's cover at the top of the frontcourt, he gets rid of Paul and goes straight to the basket.

Barnes and Redick jointly flanked, and Price stopped the ball and turned to find someone.Paul rushed over, raised his hand casually to swipe the basketball, and the three of them scrambled into a ball. Price, in a hurry, accidentally slapped the ball out of the sideline.

The referee whistled and whistled for a violation and gave the Lakers the right to the ball in the backcourt. The Clippers Rivers took the opportunity to adjust the lineup.

Griffin and Jordan appeared on the stage at the same time, and the rest time between the two was very short, which was completely a dead grass style of play.

D'Antoni quickly communicated with Nash and others, chose to maintain the current lineup and continue to observe.

The Clippers attacked, and Paul caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced.

Just after passing the center line, Barnes strode up, pretending to be a screen, but actually making a transfer.

It was not until he reached the top of the arc that Jordan actually went up to cover, and Paul took the opportunity to break through on the left.

Price squeezed through the screen to catch up, Gasol was delayed by sliding laterally, and was about to block the left elbow to complete the double-team, but Paul stopped suddenly and took off, throwing the ball directly to the left corner, and at this time Covington, who was in charge of defense, stood at the free throw line.

Barnes bent over to catch the ball, the gap was so wide that it was like facing an ocean, and Covington hurried back to defend.

Amidst the boos of the audience, Barnes stood up straight, took off facing Covington, and made a steady three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Clippers caught up to 43 to 47, and Crawford waved the towel passionately on the bench, roaring and shouting.

Li Yue walked up to Landry and whispered that he needs to pay attention to the weak side rotation. Landry nodded again and again in agreement. The ball cannot be entirely blamed on Covington, because the defensive strategy against Paul and Jordan's pick-and-roll is partial three-defense two.

Specifically, two people pinch Paul, one person intercepts Jordan, and the person responsible for intercepting Jordan will inevitably miss his original defensive target temporarily. If there is no weak side rotation to defend, it will be difficult for that person to complete the return Defend.

Especially in the face of a passing master like Paul, weak-side rotation can almost be regarded as a necessary step.

In a blink of an eye, Price came to the top of the arc, waiting on the spot, and the Lakers settled in a 1-high and 4-low formation.

Li Yue started running from the bottom corner on the right, ran to the right elbow with the help of Gasol's cover, raised his hand to catch the pass, chased against Barnes and intercepted by Jordan, took two steps to the middle of the free throw line, and made an emergency stop Fadeback mid-range shot.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Redick grabs the rebound, lands and spins and lunges forward, agitated as if out of control.

Rivers shouted one after another from the sidelines, Redick calmed down, turned around and threw the ball to Paul.

Griffin set up a wall at the top of the arc. Paul took the opportunity to get rid of Price's interference, strode and dashed to the free throw line, faced Landry's interception, changed direction in front of his body, and took two steps to his most comfortable 45 At the high position, make an emergency stop and lean back to make a mid-range shot.

The basketball hit the circle and entered the net, and the Clippers were only 2 points away from catching up.

Price flew the ball over the halfway line, and the Lakers called for a 20-second timeout.

Li Yue led the team back to the bench. D'Antoni made a simple analysis and laid out the next tactical focus. There was not much room for adjustment. The reason why the Lakers were chasing points was entirely because of the gap in the lineup. After all, the Clippers were all starting lineups.

The timeout ended quickly and the game continued, with Iguodala and Davis coming on to replace Covington and Gasol.

The Lakers kick off from the left sideline of the frontcourt, Davis is in charge of serving, and the other four stand around the four corners of the paint area.

The whistle sounded, the referee whistled to start timing, and Iguodala and Landry turned around at the same time and went down to cover.

Li Yue started running from the short corner on the left, rushed to the 45° three-point line, and was about to raise his hand to catch the ball. The Lakers caught a glimpse of Barnes chasing him, and the speed was much faster than expected. If he caught the ball at this moment, it would be dangerous. will be larger.

It's a pity that I realized the position in my head, but my body's inertia has not yet synchronized, and my left hand is still raised.

Davis didn't think too much about it, and raised his hand and threw the ball over with a relatively gentle force.

Barnes jumped up suddenly, grabbed the basketball in the air, landed and dashed forward.Li Yue chased after them, and the two sprinted at full speed, and they came to the front paint area in the blink of an eye.Barnes took off with the ball in his arms, facing the threat of Li Yue's block, he smashed the basket with both hands and dunked forcefully.

Boom!The basketball blew into the net and the Clippers tied.

"Are you cool?" Barnes yelled at Li Yue, with an extremely arrogant aura, like a bandit leader.

Li Yue ignored it, picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, raised his hand and threw it to Price, and strode forward.All the way to the right sideline, pretending to rush to the bottom line, in fact, with the cover of Davis and Landry, he ran back to the top of the arc.

As soon as he received the pass, Barnes pressed close behind his back, making small moves one after another.The referee didn't respond, Li Yue lowered his center of gravity, dribbled the ball with his left hand, rushed to the basket in three consecutive strides, made an emergency stop in front of Jordan, and shot backwards.

Snapped!With a big hat behind Barnes' back, the basketball landed and bounced to the sideline, and immediately fell into a looting.

In the chaos, the basketball rolled out of the sideline under force.

The referee blew his whistle to punish the violation and gave the Clippers the right to the ball in the backcourt. The Clippers bench stood up and cheered collectively.

Li Yue walked to the frontcourt slowly, followed Barnes to stand in the left corner, and carefully observed the direction of the basketball.

"You're a little too peaceful. If you want to take over as the leader of the Lakers, you have to be as fierce as Kobe. This belongs to the league of fighters." Barnes whispered, as if giving heartfelt advice, but no matter how he heard it, it sounded like yin and yang.

"Then let him see the fierce side." Kobe said from the bench, "Don't show mercy."
