I just play ball

Chapter 118 The Peak Showdown in the New Century

The referee whistled and the game continued. The Lakers trailed 28 to 30 and launched an attack first according to the rules.

Li Yue settled on the right wing ahead of time. Seeing that Blake ran across the center line with the ball, he immediately turned around and walked in.

LeBron followed up with small steps, Li Yue turned around suddenly, bent his knees and straightened his back to lock the elbow, and raised his left hand to ask for the ball.

The basketball flew over in an instant, Li Yue grabbed it with one hand, turned around and rushed to the hoop, without any fancy technical moves, just muffled and forceful, like an angry bull, ignoring any obstacles.

LeBron twisted his hips and turned sideways, raised his right hand high to interfere, put his left hand on his back to sense, and slid close to catch up.

At the same time, he joined the ball with both hands, pulled up and took off facing the ring, and leaned back in the air to hit the board. The whole process was as smooth and fast as if equipped with an 8-core CPU. LeBron had no time at all. reaction.

boom!basketball bounces into the net,

The Lakers tied in just 10 seconds.

'Birdman' Anderson picked it up and exited the bottom line, and Norris Cole received it. He changed the style of slowly advancing before the Heat, and rushed towards the frontcourt like installing an 8-cylinder engine, regardless of the team's formation.

Li Yue quickly ran back to the defense, thinking that if a substitute dared to do this, it was definitely the coach's instruction, and the Heat wanted to speed up their offense.

If you want to play fast, you must hit the rim. In terms of the Heat lineup on the field, only LeBron has that ability.

Thinking of this, he quickly leaned forward.

Sure enough, the Heat stayed in the outside area, LeBron received the ball from the short corner on the right, and started with a three-threat posture.

Li Yue was about to block the right lane and force him to go to the bottom line. LeBron rushed forward and rushed to the basket with two big strides. Take off from the ground and smash buckles violently!

With a bang, the basketball hit the net and the Heat led by 2 points in just 14 seconds.

There was no defense at the basket, but Li Yue knew that LeBron was unparalleled in chasing caps, so he hung up the dunks with both hands.

It's a pity that it was still half a beat late, LeBron received a pass back from the top of the arc, faced Artest's defense, and dribbled the ball to the left with his left hand.

Artest turned sideways slightly, but before retreating, LeBron changed hands behind his back, took a quick step to get rid of it, received the ball with the momentum, lowered his shoulders and took two steps, ignoring the threat of Jamison's block defense, he took off on the spot, and threw a shot with one hand.

The basketball rebounded into the net, the referee blew his whistle at the same time, raised his hand to make a foul, and there was an additional penalty.

The Heat's bench gave a standing ovation, the American Airlines Center cheered one after another, and the MVP shouts gradually became denser.

Li Yue walked up to Artest who was full of annoyance, and silently patted his shoulder, implying that there was no need to worry.

Swish!LeBron made an extra free throw and the Heat led by 3 points.

Clark served the ball out of bounds, Blake received it and then divided it, Li Yue took the ball and directly increased the speed by [-].

Except for LeBron's close pursuit, the Heat shrank to the basket, and the two supported each other.

In three seconds, Li Yue brought the ball to the top of the arc, and his eyes signaled for a back cover.

Clark immediately set up a human wall, and Li Yue dribbled the ball with his right hand and broke through to the right, like a gust of wind.

LeBron squeezed sideways, bent over and slid to catch up, as if moving an iron wall, insisting on blocking it.

Li Yue stopped abruptly, changed hands under his crotch, and diverted to the left.

LeBron brakes, pedals back, and gets in the way again.

Li Yue pulled the ball in front of his body with his left hand, LeBron stopped in an instant, deadlocked all the way, and the audience screamed wildly!

In an instant, Li Yue pulled the ball in front of his body again, changed direction with one hand IN-OUT, lowered his center of gravity and rushed to the left.

LeBron was no longer able to catch up, 'Birdman' Anderson and Mike Miller hurriedly contracted to double-team, but Li Yue made an emergency stop at the elbow, and before the two closed the circle, he pulled out two points.

Swish!Hollow into the net.

The Lakers trailed by 1 point and the entire offense took 9 seconds.

The American Airlines Center was silent.

"Come on, come on!" LeBron yells, takes the baseline pass, turns and lunges forward.

Li Yue chased close to him, always at half a body distance, but the right wing was delayed by Anderson's cover, and he was thrown away instantly.

Clark's switch defense was delayed, but LeBron completely ignored it, lowered his center of gravity to walk the bottom line, and dunked backhand.

The American Airlines Center was buzzing with people.

The Heat once again led by three points.

Li Yue quickly ran to the center line, received a long pass from Clark, and advanced quickly.

Mike Miller intercepted at 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line. Li Yue shrugged and raised his feet, leaning his upper body to the left.

Mac Miller retreated sideways, Li Yue forcibly restrained his figure, and took off with a "McGrady-style hesitant step".

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

The Lakers tied in just 8 seconds.

American Airlines Center was silent.

LeBron sprints to the backcourt, takes a pass from Miller, and takes it to the right wing with four seconds left.

Before Li Yue had time to block the right and put the left, LeBron attacked with his back.

Two times in a row, Li Yue only felt that a truck with a load of 2 tons was running over him, and he backed up involuntarily.

Just about to withdraw the chair to interfere with the rhythm, LeBron received the ball and retreated, making a two-pointer with a backward shot.

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Heat led by 2 points.

American Airlines Center beat gongs and drums.

Li Yue was not disappointed, and ran straight to the front field, and settled on the right elbow.

Where is LeBron willing to let him relax?

The two were entangled in hand-to-hand combat.

When Blake brought the ball to the top of the arc, Li Yue raised his hand behind him, staggered to catch the lob pass, and turned around to put on a three-threat pose.

LeBron bends his knees slightly sideways, spreads his left hand flat and raises his right hand high, trying to defend against shooting and passing breakthroughs!
Li Yue holds the ball with both hands, with his left foot as the axis, and his right foot continuously takes steps to adjust his body shape, shaking in a 'Durant-style giant swing'.

But every time he makes a move, LeBron can respond immediately, as fast and precise as a robot.

Suddenly, Li Yue raised his hand and shrugged his shoulders to aim at the basket, and LeBron followed closely.

"DAMN!" LeBron, who flew into the air, shouted loudly, his tone full of frustration.

Li Yue broke through with the ball and went straight to the rim, fighting for rhythm!

Anderson stepped forward to defend, Li Yue turned a blind eye, forced to take off, and dunked with one hand!

All the staff at the American Airlines Center were silent.

Anderson picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, leaned back and swung his arms for a long pass.

LeBron took off from the center line to catch the ball, landed and ran forward, grabbed Artest at the top of the arc, rushed to the free throw line, and took off again facing Jamison and Blake, changing the lever in the air and picking the basket skillfully like drinking water .

The basketball hit the basket and was caught, and the Heat still led by 2 points!
The American Airlines Center waved its flag and shouted.

There are only 2.1 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

Li Yue received the ball from the three-point line in the backcourt, hugged it with both hands, and pushed hard!
The basketball is like a cloud-piercing arrow, with the sound of piercing through the air, flying over the center line, flying to the three-point line, flying to the hoop, hitting the backboard, rebounding and falling, rolling back and forth around the basket, and finally falling into the net. The whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time.

The referee whistled to indicate that the goal was valid, the Lakers went ahead by 1 point, and the American Airlines Center was completely silenced!
