I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 104 Li Xuan's Unique Breakthrough Method

"Yao, you did a good job, let's keep working hard!"

"Okay, coach."

On the Rockets' bench, Jr. Van Gundy patted Dayao on the shoulder in appreciation, and then called the players to arrange offensive and defensive tactics.

"In the next game, we have to pay attention to Nowitzki and Lee.

Nowitzki doesn't need to double-team as long as he doesn't go to the low post. I don't believe he can shoot us to death.

As for Li's point, you must stick to the defense at any time, don't give him a chance to catch the ball, and switch defenses in time when you encounter a screen, and don't give him an easy chance to score. "

"On the offensive end, with Steve and Yao as the core of the offense, we will launch the offense with a combination of inside and outside, run the ball and conduct it, and take a decisive shot when there is an opportunity."

"Understood?" Van Gundy Jr. asked the players around him loudly after setting up his tactics.

"Understood, coach!" The Rockets players responded loudly.

At the same time, on the Mavericks' bench, Old Nelson was also making tactical arrangements.

"Dirk, you continue to play singles in the high position. Yao will not easily leave the penalty area to help defend and double-team you. Be more decisive when opportunities arise."

Nowitzki nodded after listening, and responded: "Understood, coach."

"Lee continued to ambush beyond the three-point line, attracting the Rockets' defensive attention, and cutting to the basket when he had the opportunity."

"Okay, coach." Li Xuan responded.

"On the defensive end, if the Rockets are inaccurate outside, we can try to shrink the defense to the inside. As long as Yao enters the penalty area and resolutely double-teams, while compressing the inside space, we cannot give the Rockets a chance to easily attack the frame."

After the old Nelson arranged the tactics, he asked the players to rest and prepare for the game.

The intermission is over and the game continues.

The Mavericks made personnel adjustments. The list of players for the game was: Delk, Finley, Lagabel, Jamison, and Bradley.

The Rockets' roster for the game: Francis, Mobley, Clarence Witherspoon, Scott Padgett, Kevin Cato.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks took the lead.

Jamison singled Padgett with the ball in the low post on the right side, used flexible footwork to wipe Padgett, broke through to the basket, encountered Cato's supplementary defense, and passed the ball out.

Bradley, who ran into the penalty area, received the pass, took off on the spot, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

24: 30!

The Rockets attacked, and "Old Cat" Mobley used his personal ability to shake Finley away, and made a mid-range jumper with an emergency stop.

It didn't take long for Finley to fight back, using the same move to sway Mobley and hit a mid-range jumper.

The substitute players of the two teams played happily, and the statistics kept going up. They completely gave up on defense and focused on offense, and their scores continued to rise.

The second quarter played for about 4 minutes, and the head coaches of both sides replaced the main players one after another.

The Mavericks had the ball, Nash dribbled forward, and came to the three-point line to organize the offense without rush.

Nesterovic near the penalty area quickly ran out to make a pick-and-roll.

Dayao didn't go out when he saw this, but came to the front of the penalty area to prepare for supplementary defense.

Nash broke into the three-point line with the help of a screen, came to the free throw line, saw Yao not far away from him, did not choose to shoot, but broke through to the basket, trying to use the rhythm change to make a layup with a time difference.

But Dayao couldn't jump after Nash, and stretched his arms to block Nash's layup space.

Seeing that there was no chance, Nash walked around the baseline. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure running towards the basket. Without any hesitation, he passed the ball without looking behind his back.

Nash's pass was so sudden that Dayao had no time to react and intercept it, and he secretly thought it was bad.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Xuan rushing past him, and he was afraid for a while. Fortunately, Ah Xuan knew how to be a man and saved himself face. If another person came, he would definitely be caught without any preparation.

Li Xuan got rid of the defender and cut to the basket from the right, received a precise pass from Nash, passed Dayao, jumped into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

After landing, Li Xuan and Nash high-fived to celebrate, and then returned to defense quickly.

Looking back, the Rockets attacked.

After Francis cooperated with Dayao in the pick-and-roll, he scored the ball and assisted Dayao to make a long-range jumper.

This time, Li Xuan came in time to help Nash defend. Since Dayao had a very good touch, he was unable to defend this attack.

Hitting the shot in the double-team of the two also allowed Dayao to regain his previous face.

On the next possession, Finley cut to the hoop, received a touchdown pass from Nash, took a big step, soared into the air, pulled the ball in the air and tossed the ball.

Clap!
Dayao, who retracted to the basket, came over to help defend, slapped the basketball on the backboard, and took off the rebound.

After Dayao landed, a long pass passed the ball to Francis who ran near the middle circle.

After Boss F received the ball, he rushed to the basket quickly. When he rushed to the free throw line, he saw that Li Xuan had retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area. He did not choose to rush to the basket. It was in the hands of Mobley who was ambushing in the left bottom corner.

Since this is a counterattack, there is no defensive player around Mobley for the time being.

Mobley has made 39% of his three-pointers with the Rockets this season, averaging two three-pointers per game, which is still very good.

He didn't waste this open opportunity easily, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

35: 38!

"Hey, the Rockets ran their offense well, pretty well.

Dayao's hot pot was really good. Finley underestimated Dayao's deterrence in the penalty area. His offensive choice this time was very unreasonable. Just now Xiao Li was empty, so he should pass the ball. "Director Zhang quickly analyzed.

On the next possession, the Mavericks attacked.

After wandering around the inside lane, Li Xuan suddenly accelerated and ran towards the outside lane.

After coming beyond the three-point line, Li Xuan received a pass from Nash, turned around and saw Dayao chasing him, which was a bit miraculous.

Seeing this, the others took great pride in their situation, opened up space, and created opportunities for them to play singles.

Li Xuan looked at Dayao in front of him, and said with a smile: "Dayao, reincarnation of heaven, it's time for me to single you this time, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Ah Xuan, with your ball-handling skills, it's impossible to pass me, let's shoot directly!" After Dayao answered, he put his energy into defense.

Li Xuan made a three-threat move and took a tentative step to shake Dayao's center of gravity.

"Ah Xuan, stop pretending, hurry up and shoot, but there is not much time to attack." Dayao is very cunning, using words to influence Li Xuan's offensive rhythm.

Li Xuan was not affected, directly lowered his center of gravity, started quickly and rushed towards the basket.

His breakthrough does not have any skills, it all depends on rampage. This move is learned from the memory of a certain emperor's breakthrough collection from the memory of his previous life. He has not practiced it yet, so he does not know how effective it will be.

Seeing that Li Xuan was so reckless, it was too late for Dayao to dodge, so he collided with Li Xuan and almost sent him away on the spot.

After Li Xuan had a physical confrontation with Dayao, he immediately joined the ball and took three big steps to push Dayao towards the penalty area. took a step.

"Beep!"

The referee blows his whistle and makes a walking gesture.

Li Xuan stopped immediately after hearing the whistle, and shook his head helplessly. This breakthrough method is indeed easy to walk, and more practice is needed.
