I just play ball

Chapter 90 The True Leader Player

As more and more people discovered that the situation was wrong, the noisy scene gradually quieted down.

The Lakers fans looked nervous, and the team doctor Garivetti hurried into the court and squatted beside Blake to ask.

Li Yue looked up at the big screen, and the playback showed that Blake suddenly fell down while running, and he didn't fight back, but he didn't adjust to the sudden acceleration. At that time, he just turned around and shot, and Blake was about to grab the rebound.

The Lakers asked for a timeout, and Li Yue returned to the bench and silently high-fived Blake.

Team doctor Garivetti shook his head at D'Antoni, "There is a muscle strain in the initial test, and we must leave the field for further diagnosis."

D'Antoni sighed slightly and nodded, then looked blank, as if thinking hard about something.

Li Yue was also lost in thought. The team suddenly lacked Blake. Besides his poor organizational skills, the team's many tactics would be difficult to implement. If he continued to support at a high position, how would he connect other teammates?
After much deliberation, he didn't think of any countermeasures. Li Yue simply got up and entered the field ahead of time to prepare for additional penalties. He happened to see Kobe and Saul standing together, and the two were discussing something excitedly.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue immediately thought about it.

It is entirely possible for Gasol to support the high position and recreate the triangle offense of the Phil Jackson era. Anyway, you only need to dribble the ball across the half, no matter who you choose,
Thinking of this, Li Yue turned and walked towards the coaching staff.

The whistle sounded just in time, the timeout was about to end, and D'Antoni finally figured out the result.

"Godlock goes up to play point guard, just take the ball over half court and give the price to Li Yue. Gasol rests off the court, Clark comes on the court to replace, pay attention to the timing of screens, and don't squeeze Li Yue's space."

Li Yue stopped when he heard the words. This arrangement was obviously to bet on whether he could perform against the sky like G2. It was completely different from his own idea. If he raised it now, would it seem a little timid or a little offensive.

After struggling for a long time, Li Yue finally chose to speak, even if it was not agreed, he had to add a way of thinking, not to mention that it was for winning.

"Coach, I have an idea..."

Even at his peak, Gasol averaged only 20.8 points per game, but he is one of the few big players in the league who can support high positions. He joined the Lakers in 08 and directly helped the team advance from the first round of the perennial playoffs to the finals. The second core of the Lakers has played a major role in the trip to the three-game championship, and its ability can be seen.

However, Gasol's performance under Mike Brown and D'Antoni is far worse than before. He even became a substitute this season, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he still has the ability. Now Howard has calmed down and accepted the role positioning, and he can be used as the core. .

Sure enough, when Li Yue finished speaking, D'Antoni fell into thought again, but this time he nodded quickly in agreement.

When the Lakers generals saw this, Gasol scratched his head, Clark returned to the bench and sat down in embarrassment, Goodlock looked at Li Yue anxiously and asked if he could continue to play, and he was a little confused about the situation.

Li Yue nodded for sure, then punched Clark with his fists and beat his chest from a distance, without saying anything.

The referee whistled, Li Yue stepped to the free throw line, and cheers erupted from the Staples Center.

Swish!The basketball went into the net hollow, the Lakers tied 21 to 21, and the cheers were even stronger.

Spurs attack, Parker dribbled the ball to the left wing, covered by Splitter, and rushed inside from the right.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, Goodlock forgot to communicate, bypassed the cover in advance to catch up, but instead blocked Howard who was about to switch.Parker immediately turned to break through from the right and scored an empty basket under the eyes of the Lakers.

D'Antoni rolled his eyes depressedly, and the audience showed doubts. Goodlock's forehead seemed to be drenched by rain suddenly, and there were many fine beads of sweat in the blink of an eye, and he trembled slightly when he caught the ball.

This kind of low-level mistake appeared on a role player, and the time was still the third game of the Western Conference semifinals. It will definitely give people an extremely bad impression, and if it is done well, it will affect the next contract.

Seeing this, Li Yue ran up and whispered to comfort him not to be nervous, and Goodlock quickly recovered his calm.

The two arrived in the front court in a blink of an eye. Li Yue ran to the left waist to hold Green with his back. Goodlock handed the ball to Gasol at the top of the arc, and strode to the right corner to position Artest. Off-ball screens.

Gasol held the ball high, turned around to face Li Yue, and the Spurs' defensive attention shifted to the left, but Gasol waited for a long time but put the ball straight to the basket. DeLock catches the ball and pulls backhand against Parker.

The basketball rebounded into the net, and the Lakers bit the score.

The Spurs attacked, Parker took the ball to the left wing, and used Duncan's cover to get inside.

Howard and Gasol shrunk and intercepted, and Goodlock squeezed through the cover and chased after them, forming an encirclement with the two.

Li Yue stood at the top of the arc and felt nervous when he saw this situation. Howard should not shrink in this situation, but the root cause was that Goodlock squeezed through the screen too slowly, which caused Howard to make a mistake in judgment and choose to defend.

As expected, Parker immediately strode back to the right wing, and the Lakers' defensive formation was in disarray.

Seeing that Goodlock and Howard were blocked by Split and could not continue to chase, and Gasol was too slow to defend, and Parker was about to be in a wide open, Li Yue quickly gave up Green and ran up to defend.

Such a choice is to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but the attitude must be shown.

Parker took the ball to the top of the arc without hesitation, and Green took the ball and ignored Goodlock's dive, and jumped up and made a three-pointer.

D'Antoni held his mouth and looked up to the sky, his expression was very tangled. Goodlock also realized that something was wrong, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead again. Li Yue still whispered comfort to take it easy, and then repeated the "preemptive delay" that he emphasized to Blake before.

Turning to the Lakers to attack, Li Yue received a pass from Gasol on his left waist and singled Green with his back. Look in three directions at the same time.

The Spurs' old routine shrunk to close the siege, and Li Yue threw the ball to the right corner without warning.

Seeing that Goodlock was a little hesitant to take the ball, and Parker was about to return to defend against interference, he hurriedly yelled for a quick shot.

After the words fell, Goodlock reproduced the blurred Mamba demeanor, jumping up and hitting a head-on three-pointer.

The basketball crashed into the hoop and into the net, and the Lakers bit the score.

Easy side Spurs attack, Parker dribbled the ball to the right wing, passed backhand to the top of the arc, and walked slowly.

Split received the ball and divided it with Green on the left wing, then turned and walked to the right, also slowly.

This is a tactic that the Spurs seldom use. Li Yueyou saw it, and immediately rushed to the top of the arc and shouted, "Pay attention to changing defenses."

Before the words were finished, Parker had already run to the top of the arc under the cover of Splitter, but Goodlock clung to him tightly.

Parker found that the breakthrough was hopeless, and immediately dribbled the ball to the right, and once again used the cover of Splitter to get rid of it.

Goodlock yelled to switch defenses, Howard immediately went up and was delayed, Parker failed to break through again, and the Spurs' offense stalled.

On the sidelines, assistant coach Phil turned his head and said to assistant coach Darwin: "Li Yue has become a true leader player."

Darwin didn't comment, but D'Antoni and Nash nodded one after another.
