basketball dreams

Chapter 101 Foreshadowing
Under the basket, although the speed of a tall figure cannot be said to be very fast, it miraculously rushed ahead of everyone. When no one from the Spurs reached the three-point line, he had already taken off in the penalty area!
Moreover, Yunchen's pass also hit his head at this time.

Catch the ball in the air, then grab the ball and smash it towards the hoop!

"BANG!" The huge sound of smashing the frame resounded through the audience, and the Spurs' home court suddenly fell silent.

This person is the Cavaliers power forward Nance Jr., he took the lead, his movements in the air were quite stretched, and Yun Chen made a very beautiful wave of fast-break alley-oop dunks.

After the Cavaliers were stretched to 6 points, they successfully narrowed the point difference again.

Moreover, it took them less than 5 seconds to attack this time. From serving to scoring, it was surprisingly fast.

The faces of everyone in the Spurs were shocked at this time, and the balance of the positional battle between the two sides seemed to be broken at this time.

"What is this... why did they suddenly speed up? How did they get rid of our entanglement?" Popovich finally showed some expression on Gu Jingbubo's face on the bench.

"Li, this pass is so beautiful!" After the ball was scored, Nance Jr. laughed out loud. He was aggrieved for almost a quarter, and his emotions were finally vented at this time.

However, Yun Chen's face did not put on a smile because of the goal, on the contrary, it became more and more serious.

The method he proposed was nothing else but to speed up again and use speed to beat the Spurs.But the problem is that the Spurs' defense is too strong. They tried to speed up countless times in the first half, but the effect was not good.

At this time, he chose to use the exchange method to achieve his own effect.

It is almost equivalent to giving up one's own defense in exchange for more time to counterattack, and to score the ball before the opponent has fully recovered.

So in the offense and defense just now, even the old Gasol could easily score, but what followed was the fast break that Nance gave up the defensive rebound in advance. This is a typical run-and-gun attack. The method came from the tactics of the Suns team led by Nash.

The advantage of this tactic is obvious, the speed is fast, and the opponent can't keep up, but the disadvantage is also obvious, the defense will be blown to pieces.

Sure enough, in the next round, the Cavaliers, who started running early, gave up the defensive rebound again, and the power forward, small forward and point guard all went down early at the same time.

Spurs power forward Anderson made a mid-range shot and made a steady hit. 18-24.

But what followed was the crazy offensive frenzy of the Cavaliers. The third-line fast break advanced extremely fast, and it took only 4 seconds for Hill to hit a layup. The score of the two sides came to 20-24.

The situation on the field seems to have changed because of the changes of the Cavaliers.

On the offensive end, the Spurs still choose to fight inward, because the success rate is too high, and the Cavaliers can't hold it.

On the defensive end, after being hit three times in a row to score quickly, the Spurs immediately changed their formation, leaving only one player to attack, and the other four quickly retreated to defend the Cavaliers' downline.

Running and bombing is not uncommon in the league. When they realize that this is a tactic, they know how to defend.

The Cavaliers were indeed defended by them in this way, and the next two offenses ended in iron strikes, while the Spurs were still highly efficient.

Soon, at the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides came to 33-26, with the Spurs leading by 7 points.

The 33-point single quarter score is very high. Judging from the score alone, it seems that it is not the Cavaliers who play the run-and-gun tactics, but the Spurs.

Intersection break, players from both sides return to the bench.

The Cavaliers' bombardment seems to have failed. Not only did the score fail to catch up, but it tended to continue to increase.

However, the faces of the Cavaliers who returned to the bench seats did not look very depressed. On the contrary, they were all smiling.

This scene was filmed on the big screen at the scene, which immediately aroused the exclamation of the audience, they did not understand the reaction of Li Yunchen and others.

Yun Chen naturally noticed himself on the big screen, but he didn't pay attention to it, just continued chatting and laughing with his teammates.

The Spurs bench, Popovich frowned after seeing this scene, seemed to realize something, immediately picked up the tactical board from the seat, and then called the players to start rearranging tactics.

Not long after, the second quarter started and players from both sides returned to the court.

Both sides have made personnel adjustments, and almost all of them have sent substitute players. All the starters, including Yunchen, sat on the bench to rest.

In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, the substitutes came and went and played very lively.

The Cavaliers' substitutes continued to implement the same run-and-gun tactics as the starters, while the Spurs' substitutes were not as efficient as the starters, and their shooting percentages were not high even in the face of loose defense.

The score was recovered by the Cavaliers.

36-39, the Cavaliers narrowed the point difference to 3 points.Popovich called a timeout at this time, made adjustments and put the starter on the field.

Aldridge, Gasol and Gay played at the same time, coupled with DeRozan.

Seeing this, the Cavaliers were not to be outdone, and Li Yunchen and Love brought Osman back to the court.

It's just that Love, who played again this time, is completely different from the style of play he played in the first quarter.

This time, he infinitely weakened his personal ability, acting as a blue-collar and fast-break finisher, rushing to the forefront every time he attacked, and played a two-person cooperation with Yunchen.

It was still a running and bombing tactic. Although the effect was still mediocre, the Cavaliers had no intention of giving up at all, and ran all the way to the black.

The people on the Spurs are of course happy to see this scene. They have a lot of experience in how to prevent running and bombing. After all, Mr. Popo once killed the Suns of the peak Nash.

Therefore, Gay, Gasol and Ade are all very active in running and blocking, using their body and speed to block the Cavaliers' offense.

The score was pulled apart again.

42-46，42-49，45-52，45-54……

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides finally broke by 10 points, and the Cavaliers' starting lineup seemed to be overwhelmed by the opponent.

The Spurs fans in the auditorium waved their arms excitedly and shouted loudly at this time, they seemed to have seen a victory.

But... there was one person whose face was so dark that he was uglier than anyone else.

Popovich, I don't know why, although the team is winning points, he is not happy at all.

"Hmm... Tai Lunlu wouldn't have such a mind, it must have been done by a bastard like Li Yunchen, what should I do..." He looked at the situation on the field and whispered softly.

On the other hand, the smile on Li Yunchen's face became wider and wider at this time, because the tactics he designed were basically half successful at this time, and it was their turn to counterattack next.

"Hehe... the time should be almost here." He looked up and looked at the timer. At this time, there were 2 minutes and 30 seconds before the end of halftime, and the difference between the two sides was 13 points.

"Come on, let's fight back!" He snorted softly.

During the Cavaliers' offensive round, Yun Chen actually came outside the three-point line, and ran to the top of the arc to ask the point guard for the ball!

He actually chose to play singles!Face Rudy Gay one-on-one at the top of the arc!

Before that, he deliberately ran and changed positions, and changed his opponent with Osman, throwing DeRozan away.

"Have you finally stopped fighting, running and bombing?" Seeing the Cavaliers slowing down, a smile appeared on the defensive Guy's face. In his opinion, this was a sign that the opponent had given up resistance.

However, Li Yunchen on the opposite side suddenly widened his eyes at this time, staring straight ahead, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes!
"You..." Guy was taken aback.

"You know, you've been tricked!" With a sudden smile, the corner of Yun Chen's mouth curved slightly at this moment, and there was still some sarcasm in his tone.

"What do you mean?" Guy frowned.

However, the moment he frowned, Yun Chen moved.

Without any fancy moves, he directly accelerated to the left and broke through, taking a big step to get behind Guy.

"Are you kidding me? Your breakthrough speed is so slow, how could you make it through..." However, before Guy finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his footsteps could not keep up with his thoughts, and he wanted to block Yunchen's breakthrough route, But one step slower!
"Wow!" Yun Chen stepped forward, leaving him behind!
"You!" Guy's eyes widened in disbelief, this Li Yunchen, who was never good at breakthrough speed, actually broke through his defense!

However, Yunchen's offense wasn't over yet. Immediately after passing Gay, he took another big stride, took off one step past the free throw line, and made a clean emergency stop jump shot.

The whole process takes no more than 4 seconds!
"Shua!" The basketball made a hollow hit!
