in the stands.

"Did you see that striker in Los Angeles, his performance was very different from the day before yesterday!" Harden, who was on the other side, said in surprise.

"That guy has indeed improved a lot, in just two days!" Curry exclaimed.

Kardashian smiled and said nothing, turned to look at Capdase and asked, "What do you think?"

Capdase snorted heavily in his nostrils and said: "It should be the credit of that guy! Look at him smiling so wickedly!" Everyone turned their eyes, and the one who laughed the happiest on the field was indeed the 24-year-old from Los Angeles. Number.

Kardashian nodded slightly, and said, "That's right. That striker is already the second center of Los Angeles. It should have been deliberately created by that guy, Li Changgeng. From the very beginning of the game, the entire Los Angeles team's offense revolved around that center." Forward, and Li Changgeng, who scored like crazy in the last game, has been suppressing and not attacking in this game. To be able to soar to such a level in two days, without Li Changgeng's help, it is absolutely impossible!"

On the court, Li Changgeng and Harris, who were walking by, raised their hands and clapped their hands, "Well done!" Li Changgeng sincerely praised.That goal just now was really wonderful.

"Good pass!" There was still no smile on the handsome face, but the smile in his eyes couldn't hide it.This guy is also happy in his heart.

"Return to defense!" Waving his right hand, Li Changgeng ordered loudly.Morale was high, and the Los Angeles team responded loudly.

On the other hand, Selock, the goal just now obviously had a certain impact on them.Everyone looked gloomy, and looking at Yin Lunyu, his expression was as calm as water, but there was a fiery light in his eyes.Has Ace's fighting spirit finally fully ignited?

With the zone defense in place, the Los Angeles team is ready.

Yin Lunyu personally dribbled the ball, and Harris intercepted it. After a dazzling breakthrough, Yin Lunyu's silhouette appeared behind Harris, and the basketball came out from Harris' crotch and fell steadily into his hands.In the blink of an eye, his figure has already jumped up, and the basketball in his hand is raised high - it's a shot!Turning around abruptly, Li Changgeng had already blocked the second room where he made a move at the same time as he jumped up.Shen wrist turned his hand, "Snap!" The basketball fell into Carter's hands with a crisp sound of hitting the ground, "Shua!" The hit drew an arc, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket!
Pretty!

22: 25.

High-level performance! It is indeed Selok who can play such an exquisite coordination.In such a fierce and hasty situation, Youzi can accurately grasp the position of his teammates and pass such a precise ball. He really deserves to be Yin Lunyu.Looking at the Selock player Li Changgeng who turned around and gave high-fives, he couldn't help but admire inwardly.It was awe, but there was no panic. Never before had Los Angeles been more certain that Los Angeles would win the game.Harris, Leonard, Mozart, and Paul all looked this way with piercing eyes, and there was not the slightest uneasiness on their faces.

The winner must be Los Angeles.

He personally dribbled the ball into Thelock's inside line, raised his hand to shoot, pressed his wrist, and after deceiving Carter, the ball was passed to Harris. Harris who caught the ball did not touch the basketball, and the basketball was pressed down hard. "Crack!" The basketball hit the ground and bounced high through Carter's crotch. A person under the basket grabbed the bounced basketball, jumped high, and smashed the basketball in his hand into the basket fiercely——Mozart!

Cooperate like clouds and flowing water, like a powerful and unconstrained style!How can such a Los Angeles be invincible?

The rest of the game continued with this rhythm, both sides refused to give in to each other.Due to the outstanding performance of the ace player Yin Lunyu, Selok's internal and external firepower was fully fired.As for Mozart on the Los Angeles inside line, Harris on the outside line has seized opportunities with the full support of Li Changgeng and has repeatedly succeeded.Occasionally, Li Changgeng would take a shot when the position was perfect, but most of the time the final shot was done by Harris and Mozart.Li Changgeng has more important things than shooting baskets - inside defense.

The key to the final outcome of this game is the inside competition.A more direct point is the competition for rebounds.Selock's inside offense is not strong. Yin Lunyu, Carter, and Leonard are not good at inside offense. Without the support of rebounds, it will be difficult for them to attack without compromise!
Loudly ordered Mozart and Paul to move, screened and rolled for them in time, and spared no effort to fight for the position at the basket. Under the command of Li Changgeng, Los Angeles took the advantage of rebounding a little bit.

"Crack!" The shot was missed.

"Grab the rebound!" With a loud shout, a pair of hands appeared from under the basket, "Snap!" A pair of big hands with five fingers came first and took the basketball firmly in their hands - Li Changgeng!

"Run!"

"Already running!" Harris rushed to the front, followed closely by Yin Lunyu.After swaying Carter twice, the basketball in Li Changgeng's hand flew forward in a straight line.When it was about to fall, it happened to land in front of Harris who was running. He stretched out his hand to grab the basketball. Harris jumped high and slammed into the basket hard—a slam dunk!
Score.

At 45:40, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half at the same time.

The players of the two teams returned to the waiting room, leaving the full-seat spectators in the arena chatting enthusiastically about the game just now.

"The game was a bit unexpected. The Los Angeles team played very easily. Except for Li Changgeng, the other players seemed to be very handy. On the other hand, Selok didn't seem to be as strong as imagined. They didn't seem to have the inside line they were always proud of Any power. Perhaps the strength of the Los Angeles inside team led by Li Changgeng has surpassed Thelock's phenomenon. If this continues, the game may gradually fall into the control of the Los Angeles team." Gong Tian said.The discussion is still about the Raptors generals who are most concerned about Los Angeles.

Pinol nodded, Pierce looked as calm as water, Heroin and Kaqir stared at the center of the stadium without saying a word, obviously reminiscing about the game just now.As one of the few inside players in the country, they certainly know better than Kotaichi the depth of the strength shown by the inside of the Los Angeles team just now.

"Heroin, what do you think?" Pierce turned around and asked Heroin.With the coach absent, Pierce became the natural leader.

After a moment of contemplation with a rare serious expression on Heroin's face, he replied: "It's not that Selok is too bad, but Los Angeles is too strong. Selok's internal strength is completely comparable to that of North Carolina and Floyd, and even worse. Castro and Manu are both very strong interior players. The reason why the game has become the current situation is entirely because of Li Changgeng. He relieved the heavy responsibility of offensive scoring and devoted all his energy to interior defense. The power that erupted has far exceeded Thelock's imagination. Although he has seen the power of this guy time and time again, Li Changgeng has to say it again, this guy is really terrifying."

Kaqier also nodded solemnly, and said: "The only thing to be thankful for is that there is only one Li Changgeng in Los Angeles. Otherwise, even the Los Angeles Raptors would have to suffer and lose."

Everyone's eyes turned to Pierce at the same time.Among the Raptors, Li Changgeng has the strongest sense of confrontation, and he is undoubtedly the one with the most thorough research.Except for the coach in the Raptors, no one is more trustworthy than him!Pierce's face was calm and no fluctuations could be seen.He said indifferently: "With the addition of Li Changgeng, the inside line in Los Angeles will be reborn immediately. This is a natural fact. But everyone's eyes seem to be completely focused on him, and they can't see the performance of others. The same goes for No. 5 and No. 8. Very good. And the forward No. 7, even the point guard No. 6, everyone's performance is different from the first game against North Carolina. This is what Li Changgeng really minds. From shooting guard , to point guard, to forward, and now to power forward, Li Changgeng kept changing positions. Although most of the time it was a helpless choice for tactics, but after a few games, he has successfully integrated Los Angeles, which was in disarray, into one Only a really strong team. And because of his constant commanding during the game, the strength of every player in Los Angeles has been greatly improved. Look at the inside line of Los Angeles now. After he joined, he kept commanding As a reminder, the Iron Triangle formed with the other two is enough to make a pity for the strong Selok. Let’s look at the striker again, after the match against Shanghai, today he is enough to take on the responsibility of attacking on his own.”

"Exactly!" Pinol was the first person to see Pierce's doubts, and said, "Li Changgeng's position in every game has been unexpected since the tournament. Just like today's game, no one expected it." Unexpectedly, after experiencing a crazy scoring performance in the last game, he would actually appear in the paint, willing to serve as the power forward with the fewest scoring opportunities, grabbing rebounds and creating scoring opportunities for other players. As the coach of Los Angeles, he always Changing positions has to stand on the standpoint of winning the game. The lack of strength of his teammates makes him have to change positions constantly. He can't play the position he likes, and he can't show his strength as he wants. This is really a great tragedy. But That's it, he can also seize every game to continuously improve the skills of his teammates to enhance the team's strength. This guy is also constantly preparing for the encounter with the Los Angeles Raptors. After experiencing dormancy, he is better than anyone Everyone has more reason to look forward to the match against Los Angeles! The match against Los Angeles is really exciting!"

Fiery expressions immediately appeared on the faces of the Raptors players, even if they were as calm as Pierce, they couldn't hide the fiery light in their eyes.As expected of the Raptors' ace striker, the maker of the atmosphere, he knows how to boost morale at any time.

Just when the Raptors were excited and excited, the players from Selock and Los Angeles had returned to the court.The second half of the game is about to begin.

Looking up at the roof of the gymnasium, Li Changgeng took a deep breath, and the cheers of the audience resounded like a tsunami.His heart was calm, his face was calm, and his mind was quickly calculating the difficulties he might encounter in the second half.During the timeout, Li Changgeng didn't give them too many instructions.Now that the competition has progressed, Li Changgeng has enough confidence to solve all the situations on the court.

In the warm atmosphere of the stadium, although Mozart and Paul tried their best to restrain themselves, they still kept looking around and waved their fists excitedly.In comparison, Harris and Leonard are much calmer, even though their eyes are also hot.

Meeting the concerned eyes from the assistant coach, Li Changgeng nodded firmly, and turned around firmly, "Go on!"

Sure enough, Selock changed his players, center Sheng Xuefeng replaced point guard Leonor.Does the ace player Yin Lunyu hold the ball?What an unexpected substitution. Although it is not necessary to enhance the strength of the inside line, Yin Lunyu's strength as a point guard is more than enough, but will it be overkill to replace the main point guard?The point guard is not just the one who passes the ball. It is the task of the point guard to integrate formation, create offense, and create scoring opportunities.Li Changgeng has no doubt that Yin Lunyu can do this, but at the same time, he is also responsible for Thelock's offensive scoring task. Is this okay?
Although he didn't understand Coach Selock's intentions, Li Changgeng had to admire his opponent's courage.

The referee blows his whistle and the second half begins.The result of the jump ball was that Manu touched the basketball first, and Selok got the ball.The Los Angeles team shrank and defended Yin Lunyu to control the ball. Facing Leonard's block, he swayed away and passed the ball to Carter. Carter, who had no gaps, touched the ball and passed the ball to Sheng Xuefeng who had just played.Facing Paul's defense, Sheng Xuefeng attacked head-on, jumped high and shot the basket with his right hand hook. The basketball landed on the basket and bounced a few times before popping out of the basket.

Basketball!

The ball was falling, and a few pairs of big hands stretched out from under the backboard to grab the basketball.The figure in front of him flickered, a tall figure had already blocked Li Changgeng's face, his ape arms stretched out and his body turned back a few times, and Li Changgeng staggered back a few steps, losing his defensive position.The huge figure played the music, and the basketball was firmly caught in the hand with a "snap".

Who?
Manu!

"Crack!" There was a clear sound of a basketball hitting the ground, and Yin Lunyu had already received the pass from outside the three-point line. He raised his hand to shoot, and the basketball drew a high arc. basket.

Score, 45:43.

Looking back at the inside line in Los Angeles, Paul, Mozart, and Li Changgeng all lost their defensive positions unknowingly, and were blocked by Manu, Sheng Xuefeng and the others.

Amazing!Looking up at the gorilla-like figure in front of him, Li Changgeng gasped, as if Li Changgeng hadn't noticed how tall the Selock player was until now.Manu is 199cm and weighs 95kg; Sheng Xuefeng is 202cm and weighs 98kg; Castro is 196cm and weighs 90kg. All of them are gorilla-level characters. In comparison, Los Angeles can compete with them except for Mozart’s height and shape. , Li Changgeng and Paul are both far behind each other.Li Changgeng is only 183cm, and Paul is only 190cm, and his body shape is even worse than the other party.Competing for position with such a huge opponent is really not an easy task!Thinking about the overwhelming power of Mount Tai just now, and the oppressive feeling brought by that huge orangutan, if you are a little less courageous, you may have already sat on the ground.And that flexible movement, ingenious passing, is really a rare inside talent.

Manu, Sheng Xuefeng, and Castro, is the combination of these three people the complete inside strength of Thelock?It's amazing!
However, Los Angeles will not lose.It was LA's turn to attack.With Leonard's ball-handling, Los Angeles swarmed toward Thelock's position.

Hey, they changed their defensive posture.Manu and Sheng Xuefeng guarded the bottom line, while Castro and Carter guarded the front of the penalty area—the four elders of Thelock formed a small defensive circle at the free throw line.Going to hold the paint and use his height against L.A.'s dynamics?Haven't these guys seen how powerful Li Changgeng's three-pointers are?Even in the case of one-on-one marking, Li Changgeng's three-point shooting percentage is not less than [-]%. Doesn't the coach of Selock know what this means?

Mozart and Paul were blocked on the penalty area line, and there was no way to cut into the penalty area.Yin Lunyu stared at Harris, the main scorer in the first half of Los Angeles. Leonard dribbled the ball up and down the line. It is no secret that Leonard has no scoring ability in this position.Cut into the restricted area?With Leonard's height, surrounded by the four elders, it is impossible to do anything.

It is not difficult for Los Angeles to break through such a defense, as long as Li Changgeng shoots two three-pointers from beyond the three-point line, or replaces captain Beethoven to enhance the offensive power outside the three-point line, Selock The defensive circle had to be moved outward, so that it would be self-defeating.

But is it that simple?

Catching Yin Lunyu's and Carter's eyes flashing and then disappearing, Li Changgeng reached out to Leonard for the ball with a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Crack!" The basketball was passed to the hand, and two figures suddenly flashed in front of him-Yin Lunyu, Carter, and the other players of Thelock quickly filled their positions, firmly guarding Harris' way forward.

Sure enough, I sneered in my heart. Before the encirclement of the two people in front was completed, a fast straight basketball had passed from between the two to Harris.

Taught you.After passing the ball, Li Changgeng, without the ball in his hand, suddenly turned around and leaned on Yin Lunyu to cut in.

While catching the ball, Harris resolutely jumped up and shot the basket against the 196cm tall Castro. It was not as good as Harris was so tough, and Castro's reaction was a beat slower, and the basketball rubbed his fingertips and flew towards the basket.

rebound!Castro turned and yelled.

There was no backboard, and the moment the basketball popped out, a slender big hand gently pushed it back—a tip-up!Of course it was Li Changgeng who made the tip.

What a fluke, this thought flashed through Li Changgeng's mind while he was giving high fives to the oncoming Harris.Such a ball is absolutely impossible to score again.

Cerlock's purpose is obvious, with the advantage of height against the active Harris Leonard, forcing the Los Angeles team to concentrate the ball on Li Changgeng and shoot three-pointers from outside the three-point line, or replace the three-point shooter in Los Angeles Beethoven, in this way, Li Changgeng must also control the ball.No matter what the choice is, the strength of Los Angeles' inside line will undoubtedly be affected, and the advantage of rebounding will no longer exist.With the support of the three insiders, Thelock can shoot three-pointers without any scruples, not to mention the tall center Manu is also a good scorer, and Sheng Xuefeng is not the pure defensive center that Li Changgeng imagined.The hook shot just now is enough to explain everything.Coupled with the ace Yin Lunyu who can score in any position, Selok's offensive vitality will be stronger than that of the junior.

Once the situation has evolved to this point, this game will repeat the decisive battle with the opponent and become a confrontation between the two teams, and Li Changgeng must once again assume the offensive responsibility of the entire team.The difference from that game is that Li Changgeng will be favored by at least two players in this game--Sellock's three insiders are enough to firmly block the actions of other players in Los Angeles.

It must not be like this.

In a short moment, various possibilities flashed through Li Changgeng's mind, and he quickly distinguished the stakes.Unable to change the situation, Li Changgeng made a secret decision in his heart.We must not let the opponent lead the way. The battlefield of this game can only be in the interior, and the key to this game can only be rebounds.Harris must be believed, he and Mozart's offensive power is enough to support Los Angeles' offensive mission.

And Li Changgeng's position is inside, defending the inside, and grabbing rebounds.Only by firmly nailing the inside and balancing the opponent's inside advantage can Los Angeles win the game.

Yes, that's it.

Come on, let Los Angeles decide the inside line, and the Selock game continues.After having three tall inside players, Selock quickly took advantage of the inside. The ace player Yin Lunyu also showed the strength of the top players in the country. Although he is a guest point guard, his performance is not inferior to any A first-class point guard, he can always pose the biggest threat to Los Angeles' passing with his perfect passing.

On the other hand, in Los Angeles, the inside defense was in trouble for a while, and Li Changgeng and Paul couldn't feel it at all because of the opponent's tall stature.Mozart's performance was considered good, but how can he expect a better performance when surrounded by three equally tall players on the other side.

Although the interior defense fell into a disadvantage, Los Angeles' offense is still remarkable.Whenever Li Changgeng got the ball, he would be double-teamed by two opposing players. At this time, Leonard, who had been hinted by Li Changgeng in advance, would always come forward to support at the best time. Coupled with Harris who suddenly broke out, Los Angeles It can also play exquisite cooperation time and time again.

Although the score is temporarily behind, Li Changgeng still firmly believes in his own judgment.

The ball went out of bounds, "Flute!" The whistle sounded, and Beethoven in the Los Angeles rest area saw that the situation was not good for Los Angeles, so he called a timeout.

Sitting down on the chair, Li Changgeng was out of breath.Sitting down, I realized that the jersey I had just changed was completely soaked in sweat.A tiredness emerged quietly.It's so tiring, it's really a thankless task to compete with an opponent who is more than one level taller than myself.

Li Changgeng calmed down his disordered breathing after downing a can of drink vigorously.Beethoven's calm face appeared in front of Li Changgeng: "I think the situation seems to be unfavorable for Los Angeles, so I called a timeout..."
