I just play ball

Chapter 486 The Art of Slaughtering God
The time-out is over and the game continues.

Davis came on to replace Covington, Landry returned to the power forward position, and the Lakers kicked off from the sideline of the backcourt.Li Yue received the ball and pushed forward. Seeing that the Cavaliers did not use the full-court press, they sprinted decisively at full speed, like a sharp arrow straight into the frontcourt.

The Cavaliers' defensive formation was in chaos. In a hurry, James Jones set up a wall to intercept on the left 45-point line.Li Yue immediately switched his right hand to his left, and changed course dramatically towards the top of the arc, but just after taking two steps, he collided with the chasing LeBron.

Both of them fell to the ground, the referee blew his whistle and raised his hand, calling Li Yue for an offensive foul, and the Cavaliers got the ball in the backcourt.

Boos instantly rang out in the arena. LeBron obviously didn't stand still, so why did he call an offensive foul?

Li Yue turned over and got up, walked to the sidelines and wanted to communicate with the referee, but the referee walked away and urged the Cavaliers to kick off quickly. Li Yue had to give up and strode forward to prepare for defense. The boos in the arena became even louder. violent.

The Cavaliers attacked, and the audience shouted for defense in unison. LeBron took the ball to the top of the arc, slowed down and waited.

With the help of cover, Owen circled from the bottom corner to the left wing, and then strode to the top of the arc, setting up a human wall to block Li Yue.

LeBron took the opportunity to dribble to the left, and Kobe chose to switch defenses to intercept, forming a heads-up situation again.

The Cavaliers opened up the space, LeBron passed the ball to Irving, then turned sideways against Kobe to receive the pass back, set up a three-threat posture with his left foot as the axis, stepped forward with his right foot, and tried several times in a row to grab a favorable position , suddenly sinking his shoulders.

This is a posture that can exert the greatest strength. Kobe interfered closely, and the two collided head-on at the free throw line.

Both fell to the ground again, the referee blew his whistle and raised his hand, whistled for Kobe to block the foul, and gave the Cavaliers the right to the frontcourt sideline.

Boos exploded at the Staples Center, and countless shouts filled the audience. The central big screen immediately divided two areas to compare the two fouls before and after. The results were exactly the same. The Lakers were called fouls twice. ?
"These two penalties were really bad, either offensive fouls were called, blocking fouls were called both, or neither were called." Director Zhang said, "The result is that the referees treated them differently, which is extremely unfair. The league should try its best to prevent this situation. "

"Gossip, I also heard that before the finals started, the league's internal meeting believed that the series of the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals ended too soon. Many games showed no suspense. The ratings were high at the beginning, and the middle and final stages were sharp. down."

On the court, the Cavaliers kicked off from the sideline.

Kobe and Irving stood together, and the two talked like machine guns spraying, as if arguing about something.

The referee blew the whistle, LeBron raised the ball and waited, Love raised the three-point line to catch the ball, and then passed back.

LeBron took the ball to the left half, two Cavaliers players covered back and forth at the top of the arc, and two Lakers players were switching defenses at the top of the arc. As a result, Jones quietly slipped from the short corner to the left 45-degree third line and received the pass The ball was pulled up and shot a three-pointer.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Iguodala grabbed the rebound, Kobe caught the ball and pushed forward, bringing it to 45 degrees to the left in three seconds.

Li Yue ran up to set up a wall as a cover, then disassembled the outer shell to the top of the arc, and raised his hands to observe the pass.

Landry hurriedly moved across from the right half to set up a wall to cover, Li Yue took the opportunity to dribble to the right, seeing that Jones did not immediately come up to delay, LeBron did not quickly squeeze through the screen to catch up, and immediately stepped forward to join the ball , Make a long-range three-pointer.

Boom!The basket went into the net after the basketball hit, 102 to 104.

Cheers resounded in the arena, many spectators stood up and applauded, and Nick Young raised his arms and roared from the bench.

"Too tough! Every critical moment, Li Yue can always stand up and stabilize the morale of the Lakers!"

"Our young players in China can't learn this ball. It doesn't talk about rationality at all. It's purely personal ability."

The Cavaliers attacked, LeBron slowly dribbled the ball across the center line, and his whole body was visibly tired. After all, after the start of the game, it was not counted as a timeout and halftime. There was only a total of 2 minutes of rest, otherwise Kobe and Li Yue would not have been beaten. hit.

JR stepped up to cover, LeBron speeded up and rushed forward, and Li Yue easily bypassed the wall to complete the interception.

LeBron suddenly stopped and twisted his hips, raised his hand to pass the ball to the right, JR received the ball at the top of the arc, and took advantage of the trend to accelerate and force his shoulders.Iguodala intervened close to him, and the two came to the basket in the blink of an eye. JR made a sudden stop and turned around, pushing up against the defense to put the basket.

The basketball hit the board and rebounded and fell, the referee whistled and called Iguodala for a foul, and the audience didn't bother to boo.

JR stood on the free throw line, smashed the first free throw and hit the iron, and made a hollow second free throw. The Cavaliers led 105 to 102.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe pushed the ball forward, reached the top of the arc immediately thrown to Landry by the left wing, and strode into the elbow area.

Li Yue raised from the short corner, rushed to the left elbow with the help of Kobe's cover, received a pass from Landry, turned around and pulled up.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Love grabbed a defensive rebound, LeBron received the ball and passed to Irving, and the Cavaliers launched a counterattack.

Irving dribbled the ball to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and suddenly accelerated to the basket. There was no usual fancy dribbling, only absolute sharp speed, like a continuous flickering afterimage, instantly arrived under the backboard, kicked off High throw wipe board.

Kobe jumped up to block the shot, but the basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net, and the referee whistled for a foul.

"Kyrie Irving 2+1! Facing Kobe's defense and scoring a key goal, it's amazing!"

"Big heart! Irving can be said to be the youngest player in the entire league who resembles Kobe the most in terms of style of play and technique." Director Zhang said, "Kobe has defended the ball to the extreme. Irving has almost a negative angle and completed the shot behind the rebound."

There were boos everywhere, Irving stood on the free throw line, bent over to receive the referee's pass, and easily hit and added a penalty.

The Cavaliers were 108 to 102 minus zero, with the last 5 minutes and 29 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe ran the ball across the center line and threw it directly to the right 45-degree three-point line.

Li Yue took off to catch the ball, and immediately threw it to the top of the arc. Landry caught the ball and held it high.On the other side, after Kobe passed the ball, he went down and set up a wall in the left elbow area as a positioning screen. Iguodala took the opportunity to go around to the left wing, and the outside line cooperation was formed.

Iguodala received the ball, turned around and passed it to the left waist, Kobe received the ball and sat with his back, and the Lakers opened up space.

Irving couldn't resist at all. He retreated one after another, unwillingly going around to steal, but Kobe calmly turned back, followed by kicking off the ground, and leaned back in the air to make a mid-range shot. Unfortunately, the basketball hit the basket and rebounded and fell.

Three-on-one under the basket, the Cavaliers occupy a huge space. Sometimes, I never thought that Love and Jones would grab each other, but neither of them could hold it firmly. Instead, Kobe bent down to pick up the offensive rebound, and immediately took off from the spot, facing the defensive threat. Small hook shot.

bass!Hollow into the net, 104 to 108.

Cavaliers attack, Irving catches the ball and advances slowly, all the way to the right 45 degrees, puts up a stance for singles, but several attempts failed to shake Kobe's center of gravity, he quickly pulled the ball and retreated, until JR came up to cover, and then took the opportunity to take a big step Transfer to the top of the arc.

Facing Iguodala's defense, Irving changed hands and shook his crotch. After a few times, he sank his shoulders and accelerated to the right.

Iguodala twisted his hips and chased sideways, Owen stopped suddenly, switched his right hand to his left, and combined the ball to make a mid-range shot.

when!The basketball hits the front of the rim.

Bryant grabbed the rebound, turned and moved forward, and the Lakers started a three-way fast break.

Li Yue followed up from the right sideline, caught the ball at the 45-degree third line, then turned around and threw it to the bottom corner, while Iguodala was unguarded. After receiving the ball, he calmly raised his head to aim at the basket and took off, making a steady shot. point.

bass!Hollow into the net, 107 to 108.

The cheers in the arena burst, and with 4 minutes and 42 seconds left before the end of the game, the Cavaliers requested a timeout.

"The point difference is only 1 point. JR Smith made a mistake in the offensive and defensive transition just now. He shouldn't have been staring at Kobe or Li Yue. His first task is to watch the person he is responsible for defending. This mistake is very serious. "

"Typical watching the ball and not looking at the people. JR also had such a time against the Lakers in the regular season. He played a fast break and stayed with LeBron. He didn't follow the basic requirements of the fast break and ran to the bottom corner to stand up. LeBron's top ten shots turned into mistakes."

The Lakers returned to the bench, and D'Antoni repeatedly emphasized that he must pay attention to defending three-pointers, slow down the pace to pursue success, and must retreat quickly.Walton proposed to reduce the number of passes to avoid mistakes, and try to hand the ball to Li Yue or Kobe.

...

The game continued, and the two teams did not make personnel adjustments.

The Cavaliers attacked, LeBron took the ball across the center line, raised his hand and threw it to the free throw line Love, and used Irving to cover the inside cut.After Irving blocked, he quickly ran to Kara to get out of space, LeBron stuck Kobe with his back and asked for the ball, and Love threw a pass with both hands.

The singles situation was formed again, and the ready-made spectators booed to help interfere, but LeBron caught the ball and directly hit with force, with his center of gravity extremely low, completely denying Kobe a chance to steal, and his whole body was crushed towards the basket like a bulldozer.

Kobe resisted with all his strength, and still seemed struggling. LeBron was about to turn around and forcefully go around to press, but LeBron just turned around and raised his hand, which slapped on the palm of his hand, and the referee whistled for a foul.

The audience booed everywhere, LeBron stood at the free throw line and made two consecutive hits under pressure.

The Cavaliers led 109 to 107 with 4 minutes and 28 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe took the ball to the left sideline of the frontcourt, and then transferred to the top of the arc with the help of two people.It's a pity that he still didn't get a good chance. Kobe gestured with his eyes, and Iguodala went up to the wall to cover.

Kobe took the opportunity to dribble the ball to the right to break through. Owen chose to bypass the wall to intercept, but still failed to get a good chance.

It is possible to play hard, but at the critical moment, the success rate must be pursued. Kobe chose to pull the ball and retreat.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, Li Yue started and ran to the top of the arc, received a pass from Kobe, swayed in front of his body continuously, broke through LeBron very confusingly, rushed into the paint with three big strides, and faced Jones' supplementary defense to intercept , decisively hit the ball.

Landry bent over to catch the ball under the left basket, got up and kicked off the ground directly, gliding in the air and dunking.

Such a move is quite fierce, but unfortunately the explosive power has been weakened for too long, and the basketball rebounded after hitting the basket.

The Cavaliers grabbed three and one at the basket. In the chaos, Irving succeeded first and then threw it to LeBron.The Lakers retreated quickly, and LeBlanc took the ball to the left waist of the frontcourt, sideways against Li Yue, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc.

Irving immediately passed back, LeBron caught the ball and turned to face the basket, with his left foot as the axis to assume a three-threat pose.

Li Yue blocked the right and put the left, LeBron immediately crossed and stepped forward, rushed to the basket in the blink of an eye, and hit the board with a backhand.

The basketball hit the board and fell, Li Yue picked it up in his hand, turned around and pushed forward, facing Irving at the center line to intercept, and decisively broke through with one hand IN-OUT.

The referee stopped the game, and the Lakers returned to the bench to discuss how to reorganize the offense.

After a long discussion, it was decided that a three-pointer is still needed. After all, the backcourt defense composed of Irving and JR is weak.

...

In a blink of an eye, the game continued.

Bryant received the ball from the left wing and waited in a small area, while Iguodala ran back and forth in the corner with Landry covering.A moment later, Kobe turned to the right to pass the ball. Li Yue caught the ball at the top of the arc and took advantage of the momentum to sink his shoulders, but rushed to the free throw line and made an emergency stop to pass to the right wing.

Iguodala happened to go around to the right wing, took off immediately after receiving the pass, and flew towards JR.

Jones picked up the rebound and held it tightly in his hands, LeBron stepped forward to catch the ball, and the Cavaliers counterattacked.

With continuous screens in the frontcourt, Irving took the ball at 45 degrees to the left and opened up space to single out Li Yue.

The audience stood up and watched, booing and interfering one after another, Owen frequently shook the sideline with his crotch.

Li Gao raised his left hand, adjusted his steps following Owen's rhythm, and quickly followed to the basket.

Without losing half of his body, Owen was unable to make a move, so he had to stop and turn around to find someone.

Jones hurriedly ran from the bottom corner to the left wing, took the ball and passed it to the top of the arc. LeBron caught the ball and faced Iguodala.

I saw LeBron stay in place until there were 6 seconds left in the attack time, then he used the cover of Irving, pushed the ball forward suddenly, passed through the gap between Irving and Kobe, strode to the left waist, and made an emergency stop Take off, twist in the air and pass the ball to the right.

JR received the ball from the right wing, jumped back against Landry, and shot a three-pointer without fear.

Many spectators at the scene looked nervous. Kobe dribbled the ball across the center line and shifted to the left with the help of Landry's screen.

The Cavaliers double-teamed as usual, and Landry took the opportunity to turn around and cut inside. He received a pass from Kobe at the free throw line and went straight to the basket.

LeBron moved laterally from the left short corner to the basket to make up the defense, and Landry made an emergency stop and turned to pass to the left.Li Yue happened to retreat to the sideline, raised his hand to catch the pass, jumped up to face Jones, and made a two-stage three-point shot.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

LeBron jumped high to grab the rebound, held him in his arms for protection for a moment, and handed it to Irving.

"Oh, it's a pity that the goal was missed. The Lakers are now passive. The Cavaliers must press time."

"Coach D'Antoni has to think of a way quickly. I think we can double-team and let go of the Cavaliers inside."

On the court, Irving dribbled the ball to the right wing, bowed and patted on the spot, and waited until there were 11 seconds left in the attack time. Then he used Jones to cover and forced Landry along the sideline. There were all kinds of fancy dribbling moves, but Just can't complete the breakthrough.

Seeing that there were only 6 seconds left in the attack time, Irving suddenly jumped up and passed the ball to the left. JR catches the ball and cross-steps, rushes to the left corner with the help of Love's cover, jumps against Davis' defense, and drifts three-pointers horizontally in the air. The difficulty factor is off the charts.

Players from the two teams competed for the basket. In the chaos, LeBron succeeded strangely and ran straight to the sideline.Facing Iguodala's follow-up defense, LeBron turned back twice, rushed into the paint with two steps, and made an emergency stop and threw it to Love who was rushing to the basket.

I saw Love catching the ball with both hands and taking off, but before the ball was released, Li Yue slapped it off.

Love yelled a foul, but the referee didn't call a penalty. Li Yue picked up the basketball and turned around to advance, making a long pass to the center line.

Bryant rushed to catch the ball, formed a 2-on-1 advantage with Iguodala in the frontcourt, and easily scored a layup.

109 to 113, with 2 minutes and 19 seconds left before the end of the game, the central screen showed the square outside the Staples Center, tens of thousands of spectators cheered and shouted to celebrate, the sound was so loud that it seemed to resound throughout downtown Los Angeles.

"Li Yue's steal is too critical. If Love scores two points, the Lakers will basically lose."

"Maybe that's why we're confident, the Lakers have two of the best players in the world."

The Cavaliers attacked, Irving took the ball to the right wing of the frontcourt, actively refused to cover, and opened up space to single out Kobe.

Continue to bend and shake hands under the crotch, until there are 5 seconds left in the attack time, then change to continuously change direction and shake in advance, then dribble the ball with the right hand, sink the shoulder and rush, rush to the basket with a few strides, and bear Kobe's loss like before. Angle throw.

The whistle sounded quickly, and the players of the two teams returned to their positions on the court. The Lakers did not make personnel adjustments, while the Cavaliers replaced Love with TT and Shumpert with James Jones.

"It's done, it's done, Li Yue scored consecutively, the Cavaliers can't do anything about him, and the Cavaliers' own offensive end is already difficult to open, LeBron is very tired now, and Irving's scoring efficiency has also declined seriously. You can't rely on JR to make three-pointers, right? ?”

"If the Lakers win this game, then Li Yue is a player with the ability to kill gods. Facing a god-level player like LeBron, the only thing he can do is to give full play to his collective advantage and wait until the critical moment to deliver a fatal blow."

The short timeout ended, the game continued, the Lakers lineup remained unchanged, and the Cavaliers regained Jones and Love.

The referee blows his whistle, LeBron catches the ball from the bottom line in the backcourt, slowly takes it across the center line, and stops in the LOGO area to observe.
