I just play ball

Chapter 60 Steady with the skin
Li Yue quickly moved his butt, apologized, and quickly ran into the arena to find Iguodala.

Lawson rushed the ball to the right wing in three seconds and passed the ball directly to Wilson on the right sideline.

Gasol dragged his long legs from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the defense completely lost his position. Wilson shot a three-pointer without any scruples.

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

The audience at the Pepsi Center cheered. This goal is too critical for the Nuggets, otherwise the scene will be one-sided.

The Lakers attack, Nash catches the ball and advances in the backcourt, and the Lakers are 1 low and 4 high in the frontcourt.

It is clear that Howard is going to play singles, Koufos goes around the front defense to catch the ball, and Lawson starts to press and interfere.

Nash's passing was so powerful that even Kobe called it top-level. The Nuggets' ordinary two moves could not pose a threat at all.

Koufos can only silently pick up the basketball and retreat out of bounds.

Lawson catches the ball across the halfway line, stays around and hovers around, while Iguodala runs to the right from the top of the key.

Li Yue moved laterally to catch up, and was intercepted by Wilson at a 45-degree position, and he dodged around the cover to continue chasing.

Iguodala stopped and ran back, received a pass from Lawson, and started a three-step layup.

Gasol leaned sideways to interfere, Li Yue stretched out his hand to follow and cut off the return route, and Howard set up a posture in front to intercept.

Three-pronged approach!

Iguodala admitted his cowardice, and chose to pass the ball to the basket with his hands, and stood still to block Li Yue.

Koufos held the ball high, seeing Howard turned back to defend, immediately put down his hands, ran along the baseline to the short corner on the right, and hurriedly split the ball 45 degrees to the right, as if holding a hot baby.

Wilson took the ball and was unguarded again, and the audience cheered in advance.

But Gasol flew forward, and Wilson also put down his hands, changed to a three-point breakthrough, and threw a shot against Li Yue.

The basketball smashed into the basket and spun several times, and finally flew out mercilessly, and the Pepsi Center suddenly burst into a sigh.

Howard got the rebound, Nash stepped forward to take it, and slowly led it to the frontcourt.

The Lakers are still 1 low and 4 high, but instead of Gasol standing under the basket, Li Yue immediately passes in after receiving any pass.

Gasol leaned sideways, his whole body pressed against Wilson like a small hill, and he could get anything he wanted.

The Nuggets didn't dare to double-team, so they could only watch helplessly, and finally the basketball bounced off the board and into the net.

Wilson turned around with embarrassment, picked up the basketball and walked out of the baseline, and quickly sent it out to start the attack.

Lawson rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, used the cover of Iguodala to the right wing, misplaced to face Li Yue, and continuously changed directions in advance and changed hands under the crotch to dribble, taking advantage of the speed and center of gravity of the small man to the extreme.

Li Yue remained calm throughout, frequently adjusted the orientation of his toes, raised his right hand to interfere with the shooting space, and followed Lawson from the right wing to the bottom corner, then to the short corner and the bottom line, following the siege all the way and losing half of his body.

Lawson didn't dare to shoot from the beginning to the end, and finally passed the ball to the free throw line in the middle.

Koufos got it in his hand, took advantage of the momentum to take a step forward, and made a strong shot against Howard's defense.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle and whistled for a foul on the handle.

Howard shook his head helplessly, stood under the basket on the right side with his hands on his hips, pouted at Li Yue and spread his hands.

"I really didn't expect someone to jump so low. I was trying to block the shot, so bad luck!"

Li Yue shrugged, this kind of trash talk was harmless, and Nash and the others also smiled.

Koufos stood on the free throw line with a stern face, and after hitting two consecutive goals, he backed away while pouted and spread his hands.

"I really didn't expect someone to have such a low free throw percentage, and they couldn't even get points. What luck!"

All the Nuggets players laughed out loud, and Howard himself laughed too, giving a thumbs up in praise.

In a blink of an eye, Nash rushed to the right wing with the ball, hand-in-hand with Li Yue for cover, and ran to the bottom corner with Fournier who switched defenses.

Li Yue misplaced the ball and hit Lawson in singles, pouted his butt and pushed it in, like a bulldozer meeting a children's toy car, rolling all the way to the elbow area, turning forward easily, ignoring Wilson's stomping threats, and jumping out of his hands steadily cast.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Lakers led 12 to 5.

Lawson received the ball from the backcourt and pushed forward slowly. It seemed that he was frustrated because he was deflated by Li Yue twice in a row. He still failed to cross the halfway line in five seconds. George Karl jumped up from his chair and roared. The words were quite bad. .

Li Yue sighed in his heart when he heard the sound, George Karl's strong character is really hard to describe.

When Karl was an assistant coach in the Warriors, he scolded Chris Mullin for drinking to relieve his worries, and almost didn't have a psychological shadow.

Now that the Nuggets have completely lost their offensive style, it is understandable that it is difficult to accept as a head coach, but it is difficult for players to accept this coaching style. At present, the Nuggets do not have veterans like Cassell, Payton, and Billups who understand righteousness. The elder brother comforted him, Lawson and his group of youngsters would definitely be upset, and the Nuggets have stopped in the first round year after year, and Carl's dismissal is already doomed.

As soon as Li Yue thought of this, Lawson suddenly bent down and lowered his center of gravity. He swished forward like a swordfish, swayed past Nash, and broke Blake with a strong collision. He collected the ball cleanly and started a three-step layup. The audience held their breath.

Howard and Gasol were a little dazed, then shrunk down at the same time, and took off at the same time to reach out to block the shot.

boom!Lawson was turned over by the double cap.

Blake picked up the basketball and took it to the top of the arc in three seconds. When Howard successfully landed under the basket, he immediately gave it in.

The Lakers are still 1 low and 4 high, and the 4 Nuggets players are scattered all over the half. Koufos is alone and helpless, so he can only give up his flexibility and take root with his feet.

Howard turned around immediately, and imitated Nash to play a coquettish low-handed layup. His happy smile could not be concealed at all. Unfortunately, his hand skills were not good enough. After the basketball hit the board, it fell straight. Dunk with both hands again.

So contemptuous of Koufos's defense, the audience booed wildly, and Howard ran forward with a grin.

Lawson received the ball from the backcourt and advanced, crossed the center line and repeated the previous routine and rushed to the basket, but this time facing Howard and Gasol's defense, he dared not continue to lead, and finally gave the ball to Koufos who followed up in the middle.

It's a pity that this operation failed to solve the problem. Koufos was neither passing nor passing the ball. His feet were nailed to the free throw line as if they were filled with lead. Seeing this, the Lakers players went around the front defense to catch the ball.

Five seconds passed in a flash, and Koufos took off bravely and made a one-handed throw directly at the ring.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Howard didn't take off, grabbed the rebound with one hand, turned around and threw it to the top of the arc.

The Lakers went down the third line quickly, Nash took the ball and advanced in the middle, and Li Yue and Blake went left at the same time.

The three rushed to the three-point line in the front court in a blink of an eye. Nash made an emergency stop and passed to Blake on the left wing, and Li Yue on the left sideline ran up quickly.

Fournier cut across and intercepted, Li Yue turned around and ran back to the basket, and Blake smashed the ball and hit the ground with a long pass.

There was no interference from the Nuggets at the basket, and the nearest Iguodala rushed to the free throw line. Li Yue also played a low-handed layup after receiving the pass.

boom!The basketball bounces into the net.

With the Lakers leading 16-5 and George Karl barking for a timeout, the Pepsi Center was filled with frustration.

The audience has already seen that the strength gap between the two teams is too great. The Lakers seem to be playing a training game, and even started playing.

...

Timeout, Lakers bench.

D'Antoni took over the tactical board from assistant coach Phil Weber and placed it on the right sideline area.

"Wilson's three-pointer just now, we had a problem with our rotation defense. After Li Yue entered the court, he shouldn't go to Iguodala..."
