Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 576 A Difficult Victory

The fans watched it several times in a row. Some fans still didn't understand how the pass was done just now.

After looking for a few shots, the basketball disappeared in people's field of vision for a short time!
There are already fans who have started to learn his wrist flip in the air, especially the young fans, the more they learn, the happier they are.

Inside the visiting locker room!

"Li is really incredible, how did you pass the ball just now?" Artest kept asking beside him.

It made me very annoyed, "Don't ask, watch the replay by yourself, I have to rest!"

He dismissed Artest casually, he didn't want to be stared at by this guy all the time!

He also had lingering fears about the pass just now. In the eyes of the fans, it was a wonderful pass, but he knew it himself.

He originally wanted to change hands behind Duncan, and then pass the ball. Unexpectedly, never expected, his hand slipped. The main reason was that he slipped into Gasol's hands and completed the dunk. .

At first he planned to make a layup by himself, but Duncan's defensive speed was too fast for him to complete the layup in time, and he was likely to be blocked. He suddenly changed his mind in the air and could only choose to split the ball.

In the end, this incredible ball was created. The reason why the basketball disappeared from view for a while was because his left hand and Duncan's body cleverly formed a blind spot. The direction, and Parker blocking it, created this magical scene.

At the beginning of the second half, the two teams still played inextricably, and there were often situations where a goal was not scored in one or two minutes.

The fans in the stadium fell asleep watching the game. There was no wonderful offense at all, and there were a few good defenses from time to time. However, there are not so many fans who appreciate defense now. They pay more attention to offense. And the moment of scoring.

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score came to 82:85 and the Lakers were still behind, but only 3 points behind.

"Guys, now the game is at a critical moment, every attack must be handled carefully!" He called his teammates to his side and said loudly.

"Lee, you come to attack, I attract the defense, and at the same time, the basket is ready to mention the high pick-and-roll, do you understand?" Kobe said, he was reminding someone, mainly to remind Bynum, to stare coldly. with him.

Bynum was so stared at, he quickly responded, "No problem!"

After the short exchange, Li Tian did not choose to hold the ball, but handed the ball to Kobe, and said in a low voice, "You attack, I will run without the ball first!"

"This guy is preparing to perform at a critical moment!" Kobe wanted to understand all this, and couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't have any objections to such an approach. He was ready to let go this season, so he should do it thoroughly. , I can relax a bit.

The offense was very easy. Before Li Tian ran out of the open space, Kobe had already run over Manu and made a mid-range hit with an emergency stop.

84:85 point difference with only 1 point left.

The same is true for Manu, and then his teammate picks and rolls, one step past Fisher, and hits a mid-range shot!

In the transition between offense and defense, Li Tian defended against Jefferson and hit a three-pointer!

87:87 No. 12 draws between the two teams. Just the number of draws shows how stalemate the two teams are playing.

"Huh!" Exhaled a turbid breath. Li Tian is also very tired now. He hasn't felt this way for a long time. The oppression brought by the Spurs on the defensive end is still very great.

"Hold on, hold on!" Parker said to his teammates while dribbling the ball across the half. He needs to control the rhythm of offense and defense, and can't rush for success!

Duncan still stuck Bynum behind him, although Bynum looked muscular, but when he was stuck, he was not Duncan's opponent at all, and he didn't have any temper when he was pressed.

"Crack!" Predicting that Parker would still lob the ball, Li Tian moved a step sideways and appeared between Parker and Duncan. Seeing Parker pass the ball, Li Tian took off with all his strength.

While pointing the racket in Kobe's direction, yell "Ball!"

Kobe rushed to the ground, and Manu and Parker also rushed over immediately.

The three fell to the ground one after another, scrambling for the ball. As soon as Manu's hand touched the ball, Kobe put it on Parker's head.Feeling his head being hit by something, Parker subconsciously wanted to touch it.

Kobe had sharp eyes and quick hands, and wanted to pass the ball to Fisher on the same side. Kobe was interrupted by Parker. Parker tried his best to pass the ball to Manu, but it was a bit high, and Manu just touched it with his fingertips.

The trajectory of the basketball changed again. When Fisher came over, he felt that he could no longer get the ball, and Kobe was still on the ground. He immediately changed his strategy, blocked the Spurs behind him, and watched the basketball go out of bounds.

"Kobe, are you okay?" Li Tian pulled up Kobe who had fallen to the ground, and asked with concern.

"It's all right!" Kobe shook his head, expressing that he was really all right.

The referee awarded the ball to the Lakers, Bynum served from the sideline, and Fisher dribbled the ball across the half.

In order to improve the hit rate and reduce the running position, Jefferson was stuck behind him and asked for the ball from Fisher on the outside.

Seeing that the bottom line has been blocked, after passing the ball, he takes the defender away.

In the right area, a local one-on-one is formed.

"Brother, you can't guard against me, why are you so serious?" Spraying trash talk at Jefferson.

In any case, he was once an All-Star player. After coming to the Spurs this season, his data has shrunk significantly, but his ability has not shrunk significantly.

After two consecutive hits, he pushed Jefferson, who was a circle behind him, to the vicinity of the penalty area.

The left shoulder pressed Jefferson, not giving him a chance to take off.

The sky hook hits easily.

"Damn, careless!" Jefferson thought to himself.

It was true that he had neglected it. Li Tian hadn't made a hook for so long that everyone had forgotten about it.

"Shua!" The basketball hit steadily, and the Lakers once again overtook the score!
Looking back, the Spurs were attacking. Because of being intercepted last time, Parker no longer dared to lob the ball easily, but chose to hand the ball to Duncan.

Seeing Parker's choice, Popovich nodded. Although this choice seems more troublesome, it is safer and there is no risk of being intercepted.

The basket was emptied again, and Duncan singled Bynum.In fact, Phil can let Gasol go up to double-team, but after thinking for a long time, he still chooses to let Bynum defend alone. On the one hand, it is to train Bynum, and on the other hand, it is a try. What kind of results will it bring to the team.

For the Lakers, the regular season is a preview for the playoffs. The team's record will definitely not be a problem. Under the premise that the record and ranking are guaranteed, they can make some corresponding arrangements for the playoffs in advance. It's hard for Bynum.

"Ah!" With a roar, Bynum was also cheering for himself. He was also trying his best to resist Duncan and not give him a chance to push himself to the basket!

"Impossible!" Bynum yelled, exerting all his strength, pushing Duncan so hard that he almost lost his center of gravity.

The consumption of the whole game is still great for Duncan. He has already attacked several times in a row, and his strength has also dropped significantly. He realizes that he cannot press to the basket.

I have to consider turning over and shooting a jumper in this position.

After being beaten countless times, Bynum has also become smarter, and his body has been hanging on Duncan.

After turning over, Duncan felt that his body was hanging, and he couldn't take off fully at all. In his field of vision, his teammates didn't have a good shot, so he could only give up passing the ball and choose to continue shooting.

"Crack!" There was another harsh voice, and because of Duncan's brief advantage, Gasol found a chance.

Tap your toes to complete the block on Duncan!
The basketball flew off the sideline!

"Paul, you're fucking awesome!" Kobe stepped forward to celebrate him.

Li Tian also jumped on Gasol excitedly, this ball is really critical.At a critical moment for the Spurs, they were intercepted once and blocked another critically.

Popovich also quickly called a timeout. The players' momentum must be stabilized, otherwise they will really be unable to play in the next few minutes.

Of course, the Lakers' bench is relatively easy, and the blocking is very important, but it is far less explosive than Li Tian's blocking.

Both teams are preparing for the next 3 minutes!
"Lee, next, you come to the offense. From here, Paul puts up a high pick-and-roll, then rolls down, Kobe draws the defense on the other side, and Bynum is well positioned and Duncan is stuck behind."

After saying this, Phil patted Bynum on the shoulder as encouragement.

"No problem, coach, I'm sure I can finish it!" Bynum shouted excitedly. Duncan was blocked just now, and his defense was crucial.

"Defensive end, you guys." Phil was not very worried about defense.

After the timeout ended, the Spurs continued to attack. This time the team gave up the inside offense and focused their offense on the outside. Phil also made corresponding arrangements.

Parker made a strong shot against Fisher, and Li Tian grabbed a key rebound.

There was no rush to attack. After Parker made the shot, the Spurs followed Popovich's request, leaving only Duncan and Jefferson to grab rebounds, and everyone else returned to defense.

At this time, it is necessary to stabilize the offensive rhythm, hit the success rate, and widen the point difference.

Came outside the three-point line, handed the ball to Gasol near the free throw line, and began to run without the ball. It was not enough to support him to continue chasing and defending.

But Jefferson did not give up, and has been chasing after him hard.

A sudden sharp change of direction, throwing Jefferson away, and turning back outside the three-point line again.In order to reduce the pressure on Li Tian, ​​Gasol did not pass the ball directly, but passed it from Kobe.

When he came beyond the three-point line, the ball was passed over immediately, and there was no defense in front of him, and the three-pointer was easily shot.

"The Spurs should arrange for a younger player. Lee's speed is too fast. He has been on the court for 35 minutes, and he has not shown any decline in physical strength." Barkley is very emotional. He has faced the Spurs. At this time, there is still enough physical fitness, and few people in the entire league can do it, and he certainly can't do it.

"Fatty man, Popovich also wants to, but who else is on the Spurs?" Smith rolled his eyes at Barkley. Could it be that the Spurs really don't want to, but there is really no one available.

"Shua!" A three-pointer was hit, and the point difference widened to two rounds again.

92:87 The Lakers lead by 5 points.

In the next minute, both teams failed to hit another goal.Duncan hit the rebound and went out of the frame, Kobe interfered with a layup, and Manu hit the iron outside the three-point line.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!" The fans shouted, reminding the players to defend themselves!

This time Li Tian attacked with the ball and saw Jefferson again, he smiled, yes, it was a shameless smile.

"Jefferson, I really admire you, you are so persevering!" He smiled cheaply, but he was really happy in his heart.

"Bastard, I have perseverance, but I have to. If it weren't for that old Popovich, I would prefer to fight Gasol or Bynum at the basket." Jefferson cursed in his heart, but Very helpless, he had to come up to defend, the team was really empty.

The three threats shook Jefferson away, held the ball and rushed towards the basket. Seeing Duncan coming to make up the defense, the ball was passed to Bynum under the basket.

After Bynum received the ball, he made an easy dunk!
94:87 The Lakers widened the point difference to 3 possessions, with only one and a half minutes left in the game, leaving little time for the Spurs.

Popovich yelled on the sidelines, "Steady, hit the success rate." At the same time, he raised his fist and told the players to hit the hammer tactics.

Manu holds the ball and breaks through towards the basket. Parker lifts up and runs to where Manu was just now. Fisher is in front of Parker. Manu sees that the pass is hopeless.

With the help of Duncan's pick-and-roll, Jefferson threw off Li Tian's pursuit and headed towards the bottom corner. Bynum's delay went up too late and failed to stop Manu's pass.

After receiving a pass from Manu, Jefferson made a slight adjustment and shot a three-pointer directly.

"Rebound!" As soon as he took the shot, Jefferson could feel that the shot was short this time.

Three-pointer and three-pointer, Bynum accepted the rebound and held it tightly in his arms to prevent being intercepted by Manu. He didn't hand over the ball until Li Tian came to meet him.

"There is a little more than 1 minute left in the game. It becomes more difficult for the Spurs to come back. If they can't defend against the Lakers' attack, then..." Smith analyzed.

For the Lakers' offense, Kobe and Li Tian each played several times, which not only allowed the opponents to frequently change their defensive strategies, but also helped their physical recovery.

When it was Li Tian's turn to attack, he didn't call a pick-and-roll or a screen. He broke through Jefferson's defense with a European step, saw Parker assisting the defense, returned the ball to Kobe, and shot a three-pointer from the outside.

No one to guard, as long as Kobe is not possessed by a blacksmith this day, he will basically give points.

"Shua!" A three-pointer was hit steadily.

97:87湖人领先扩大到10分，在关键时刻，湖人打了一波10:0的进攻高潮。

"The Spurs have no hope of winning this game!" Barkley shook his head when he saw the point difference.

Manu broke through with the ball and scored a layup, which could not change the Spurs' decline.

In the end, the Lakers won the game with a difficult 100:93. The Lakers also broke the media's doubts about their inability to beat a strong team.

"Lee has become more mature, especially the grasp of offense and defense, and he has also done a good job of controlling the morale of the team." Smith said with emotion.

Because there was a discordant scene in the game, the two teams just nodded after the game and did not communicate too much.

Back in the locker room, everyone was in a very good mood, and the three-game losing streak some time ago was also swept away.

Li Tian is reflecting on how he performed in this game and where there are problems.
