I just play ball

Chapter 117
Back on the bench, Li Yue took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood there waiting for D'Antoni to arrange, but D'Antoni did not mention anything related to tactics in his words, but focused on spiritual encouragement and guidance, and he began to think.

The 8-point lead in the opening game was mainly due to the lack of preparation by the Heat and a large number of defensive interceptions, which gave the Lakers a lot of room to play outside the three-point line. In addition, the Heat underestimated Nash and his own passing ability, Kobe received the ball very easily.

As for the several consecutive strikes on the offensive end, it is also because the Heat think too simply. The Lakers focus on defending LeBron.

Heat coach Spoelstra was in charge of video editing in the early years, and he was able to be appreciated and promoted by a generation of legendary Pat Riley. The basic skills of tactical analysis must be solid. This time he took the initiative to ask for a timeout, and he must have discovered the problem. It is possible to change the defensive strategy to man-to-man, and the offensive end will naturally change,

If that's the case, LeBron and Wade's single-defense capabilities will be fully utilized, and the Lakers will have to make corresponding changes.

Just as he was thinking, the siren sounded, the 90-second timeout ended, and the match between the two teams continued.

I was going to express my thoughts, but other teammates had already stepped onto the court, and Li Yue quickly followed.

There is no need to worry too much, after all, Nash and Kobe may also see it.

After making up his mind, Li Yue ran to the left elbow and waited beside LeBron.

The referee blew his whistle, and Chalmers caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the top of the arc. Bosh raised his right elbow to set up a wall as a screen.

Chalmers accelerated to the right dribble, and Nash stepped back sideways, choosing to go around the screen and intercept from behind.

Bosh moved to the left, Gasol started to catch up, and was delayed by LeBron's lateral screen.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue switched defenses, thinking that Bosh often shot long shots, he jumped up decisively, but Bosh directly lowered his center of gravity after catching the ball, and rushed in with big strides.Just such a dislocation, completely missed, Bosh made an emergency stop and shot two points.

Boom!The basketball hit the circle and entered the net, and the Heat chased 4 to 10.

Howard picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, pushed it to Nash with both hands, and the Lakers launched an offense.

Li Yue quickly ran to the left bottom corner, saw Nash gave the ball to Kobe at the top of the arc, and then sprinted to the baseline with the help of Gasol's cover, immediately started to run to the basket, stood under the basket and set up a wall to make a second cover.

Nash arrived in an instant, took the opportunity to get rid of Chalmers chasing, and cut outside towards the left wing.

Li Yue withdrew, and with the help of Gasol's cover, he easily slipped to the right corner.

Turning around, Nash received Kobe's return pass, and immediately hit the ground and then divided Howard in the low post on the left.

Gasol was about to open up the space, but Howard slumped his shoulders, lowered his waist and chiseled twice, and turned forward suddenly to break through.

Bosh immediately moved laterally to help defend, joined forces with Haslem to intercept, and Howard grabbed the jump hook.

when!The basketball smashed the frame and hit the iron, rebounded and flew to the right half, LeBron jumped high and caught it.

Li Yue sighed in his heart, such a beautiful cooperation was wasted because he didn't grasp the timing well.

But it was too late to think about it, he had to chase back to the defense, and he chased past the center line in a blink of an eye.

LeBron made an emergency stop and split the ball to the right. Chalmers took the ball and rushed in, walked the bottom line and then split the left corner.

Wade took the ball and rushed to Kobe, rushed to the basket and jumped up to attract Gasol's attention, and then scored the ball 45 degrees to the right of the three-point line.

Bosh caught it firmly, took a step forward but didn't dare to cast, and passed back to Wade who had retreated to the top of the arc.

Kobe defended closely, Wade took off again, threw the ball to the left corner, and Nash, who was about to shrink and intercept, turned and returned to the defense, but after Chalmers received the ball, MOP's big heart attributes appeared, and he shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

bass!The basketball was hollow and the net was wiped, the Heat chased 7 to 10, and the American Airlines Center resounded with cheers.

The Lakers attacked, Li Yue settled on the right wing and waited.

Nash took the ball to the front court and tried to break through the screen several times, but unfortunately failed.

In desperation, Nash distributed the ball to the top of the arc, and Gasol received it and raised his head high, swinging left and right to observe.

Seeing that the offense had stalled, Li Yue turned around and ran back, rushing to the 45-degree three-point line to ask for the ball.

After getting it in his hand, he turned sideways and broke through to the basket. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Haslem and Bosh moving their feet to shrink the double-team. He immediately stopped at the right elbow to pull the ball and turned around, pretending to raise his hand to aim at the basket.

It's a pity that LeBron didn't hesitate, and there were only 5 seconds left in the attack time, so he just jumped up and shot.

when!The basketball smashed the basket and hit the iron, and the cheers of the audience were more exciting than the Heat's goal.

Haslem caught the rebound and turned to Chalmers, who then split the left center line.

Wade took the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt and slowly moved to the bottom corner, and other Heat players opened up space.

Kobe bent his knees and put on a one-on defense position, but LeBron suddenly stepped forward and put up a wall to screen.

Wade took the opportunity to get rid of it, ignoring Li Yue's change of defense, and slapped the ball heavily to accelerate the breakthrough, as fast as lightning.

Li Yue held his breath and focused on chasing him sideways with small steps, barely keeping half a body distance.

At the same time, Gasol also turned around, ready to help prevent interference.

It was thought that Wade made an emergency stop at the dotted line of the free throw circle and passed the ball out.

Bosh received the ball in the 45-degree area on the left, took advantage of the momentum and made a two-pointer with long hands.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Heat chased to 9-10, and the cheers rang out again in the arena.

Easy to attack the Lakers, Nash quickly dribbled the ball to the left wing, slowed down and stopped to observe the Heat's defensive formation.

A spectator wearing the Lakers' No. 24 jersey stood up and shouted, "Give the ball to Kobe, what are you thinking?"

As soon as the words fell, Nash passed the ball to the top of the arc, Gasol caught it, and immediately divided the right wing.

Li Yue took the ball and put on a three-threat posture, facing LeBron's defense, with his left foot as the axis and his right foot stepping to test.

LeBron's center of gravity was extremely low, and he followed his footsteps and fine-tuned his face and toes, without any relaxation.

After weighing again and again, Li Yue stepped down the ball and walked towards the bottom corner, using Kobe's cover to get rid of LeBron, and immediately forced to take off against Wade.

LeBron and Wade both took off to block the shot. Li Yue pressed the ball forward with two fingers before all the space was blocked.

Kobe, who cut inside, just received it, took a small step to adjust his body shape, and took off steadily to make a mid-range shot.

Swish!Hollow into the net, the Lakers lead 12 to 9.

Haslem picked up the basketball and exited the baseline and threw it vigorously to Chalmers, and the Heat launched a fast break.

Players from the two teams rushed to follow up at the same time. Wade received the ball at 45 degrees to the right of the three-point line and once again forced the inside.

Kobe chased sideways, Li Yue shrunk to help defend, and Wade scored LeBron.

Boom!A three-pointer hit the net and the Heat chased to a 12-level tie.

D'Antoni wanted to call a timeout, but Li Yue waved his hand to signal no, and quickly rushed to the right wing of the frontcourt, reaching out for the ball.

Nash brought it across the center line and gave it immediately, and Li Yue once again put on a three-threat posture, indicating that Kobe did not need to cover.

Such a clear one-on-one match, boos instantly sounded at the scene, Li Yue crossed the dribble, and stopped suddenly after one step.

LeBron jumped up, the basketball flew through his fingers, hit the back edge of the rim with a clang, and bounced into the net.

The Lakers lead 15-12.

LeBron received the ball in the backcourt and advanced, went to the top of the arc and used Haslem to cover, and broke through to the left.

It was too late for Lee to catch up, and Howard switched defenses to intercept, but LeBron suddenly accelerated and forcibly passed, rushed to the basket to meet Gasol's defense and took off, dunked with both hands and scored, and the Heat chased to 14 to 15.

The atmosphere at the American Airlines Center suddenly exploded. Nash caught the ball and quickly brought it to the top of the arc. After some tinkering, he handed it to Kobe.

Wade took half a step back and kept throwing shots. Kobe pretended to sprint, but actually passed the ball to the low post.

Howard took the ball with his back, made two strong tops and did not get room, and suddenly made a long pass to the right corner.

Li Yue felt a headache when he saw this. He was indeed in an open position, but he was watching all the passes, and the distance was far away, which was quite dangerous.

As expected, LeBron jumped high, made a steal in the air, and pushed forward with both hands when he landed.

Wade, who was about to get off, caught the ball from the center line and led Kobe all the way to the basket in the front court, gliding with one hand and scoring a dunk.

The Heat took a 16-15 lead. Kobe picked up the basketball and exited the baseline, and also pushed forward with both hands.

Li Yue received the ball from the center line, turned around and advanced to observe the positioning of his teammates, and ran to the three-second zone with a long pass.

Howard caught the ball in one step from the free throw line, directly started a three-step layup, and carried Haslem to pull the jump and dunk.

With a bang, the basketball hit the net, and at the same time, the referee whistled for a foul and gave an additional penalty.

Despite the boos everywhere, Howard still hit the Lakers 18 to 16 lead.

...

The game quickly reached the last 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the first quarter. The Heat made a defensive foul and Spoelstra requested a timeout.

The cheerleaders danced, and the Heat's highlight highlights were played repeatedly on the large central screen, followed by a short pause of 20 seconds.

The Lakers replaced four starters, Li Yue led the team into the field, and found that the Heat also replaced four starters, but LeBron was still there.

Perhaps feeling something in their hearts, the two looked at each other and smiled.

ESPN commentary seats.

Brin clicked on the data display interface of the IPAD, and swipe left and right, "Kobe has scored 18 points, now it's Li Yue's turn to play, he sent a total of 5 assists and grabbed 3 rebounds before, and may get a triple-double tonight. "

Jackson nodded, "LeBron also focused on assists before, so if he chooses to stay on the court, he must focus on attacking."

Van Gundy adjusted his glasses, "The two seem to be ready to fight to the end, and another good show is about to be staged."
