Chapter 104: This is a slam dunk!!
The Amway Centre Arena fell into a deathly silence, and the home fans were stunned, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
The same is a dunk, the same domineering, the difficulty index and aerial posture are almost equal, people have looked at Li Yang, and then turned their heads to look at Gordon, and an illusion rose in everyone's hearts, sure that this is not the scene of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest?
They couldn't tell who was better, because both of them were so good, with both difficulty and posture.
As far away as Huaxia, countless fans in front of TV and computer were shocked by Li Yang's dunk, and many even cried.
Looking at the immature young man who hung above the basket and looked down on all beings, but had the same yellow skin and black hair as himself, they spontaneously felt a kind of heartfelt pride in their hearts, which is the style of our Chinese people.
They really want to shout to the fans all over the world, do you see it with your eyes open, this is the genius point guard Li Yang, and he is also a player of our Huaxia, we also have good guards in Huaxia, and they are also world-class super guards.
Falling from the basket, Li Yang immediately rubbed his wrists, and his heart chuckled, it seemed that the force was a little too strong just now.
And he collided with Gordon hard in the air, his body almost lost his balance, and he dunked with one hand, and finally grabbed the hoop and pulled hard, he was too excited at the time and didn't feel it, and then he felt a sore wrist.
"Still too young!!" Li Yang exerted too much force, and his right hand was a little numb, so he hurriedly shook his right hand.
On the side, Beverly, who ran over, saw Li Yang looking at his hands, and his heart was also chuckling, and he asked worriedly, "Yang, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, I used too much force just now, and I was bounced off by the basket, and my arm suddenly became a little numb."
Li Yang grinned, he couldn't let Rivers on the sidelines see it, otherwise Rivers would definitely tell him to rest and reprimand.
"Young, you just looked excited, is it because of the basketball with Gordon?"
In the audience, Li Yang's fans were taken aback and began to discuss in private.
Gordon glanced at Li Yang coldly, threw Li Yang a defiant look, and then turned to serve.
Harrell saw this scene, and stepped forward to Li Yang and said, "What did Aaron Gordon's eyes mean just now, it wouldn't be a provocation, right?" ”
"Well, it can be understood that way, maybe he's going to give us back." Li Yang smiled, didn't pay much attention to it, and then patted Harrell, "Let's go, it's time for us to defend." ”
Li Yang clapped his hands vigorously when he retreated: "Brothers, let's work together to defend a few more, and the victory belongs to us!" ”
Li Yang's dunk boosted the morale of the whole team, and he behaved more and more like a mature leader on the court.
After hearing Li Yang's words, everyone in the Clippers defended very hard, and the defensive ability of the playoffs was reflected again, causing the Magic team to have another passing error, and Gallinari grabbed the basketball and gave it directly to Li Yang on the side.
Li Yang advanced with the ball and soon arrived in the front court.
Gordon quickly caught up, lowered his center of gravity, and looked at Li Yang with open hands: "Come on, I won't let you succeed." ”
"Really? Are you still so confident? A confident smile appeared on the corner of Li Yang's mouth.
Li Yang may not be the slightest interested in other people's agitation, but Gordon is a respectable opponent, at least when it comes to dunking.
And for Li Yang, having an opponent like Gordon in a slam dunk contest is also a great joy in life, how can he not stand up and fight!!
So, he activated, a simple change of direction, a sudden force under his feet, the sneakers and the floor rubbed violently, making a sharp "squeak" sound, Li Yang burst out again, breaking through from Gordon's left side.
"How can it be so fast!!"
Although he had known that Li Yang's speed was fast, Gordon was still taken aback when he faced it again, he took a half step back, quickly moved sideways, and blocked Li Yang's breakthrough route.
Gordon's defense has always been criticized, saying that his defense is not good, and many times it is a hole, and there will always be inexplicable leaks.
It's not nonsense, but to say that Gordon is not capable of defending is absolutely nonsense.
He has great physical talent, sharp reflexes, and solid fundamentals, and arguably has all the ingredients to be a defensive giant.
The only thing lacking, perhaps like Beverley, is a heart that is willing to defend, and many times it is not a matter of whether it can be defended well, but whether it wants to or not.
But at this time, Gordon definitely wants to defend Li Yang, and once he wants to do it, it is not difficult for him to do a good job of defense.
Li Yang took half a step back, and Gordon was already stuck in position.
Li Yang couldn't help but be surprised by Gordon's quick reaction, but he had long known that it was impossible to pass Gordon so easily, so he immediately braked sharply, which also made Gordon pause, but at this moment, Li Yang suddenly broke out again.
First with an emergency stop, then with another sudden start, Li Yang took the change of speed by surprise to Gordon and smoothly broke through Gordon's tight defense.
In the penalty area, Vucevic jumped head-on, and Gordon desperately chased from behind, but Li Yang did not panic at all.
After Li Yang flew up to make a layup, he also jumped high and stretched out his long arm to block, only to see Li Yang dodging Gordon and Vucevic in the air to avoid the front and back sandwich defenses.
Then glide from the left side of the basket to the right side, complete a super big lever, and then shoot the ball, the basketball rises to the top edge of the rebound at one point, and then slowly falls into the net!!
With a "bang", the basketball went into the net.
Li Yang roared excitedly! It can be regarded as venting the anger that has been held for a whole game, since falling behind in the first quarter, the Clippers have been chasing and playing, and now they finally occupy the lead, and the next thing Li Yang has to do is to continue to score and lead the team to victory!!
"Good shot!!"
On the sidelines, the Clippers bench cheered loudly, while Alexander waved a towel excitedly.
The Clippers fans in the audience also cheered, but this was on the home court of the Magic, and the Clippers fans were a minority after all, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the huge boos.
There were 16,000 spectators at the Amway Center today, most of whom were Magic fans, and when the Magic team defended, they began to shout defense while waving various slogans, and the cheering was deafening.
Before leaving the game, Li Yang smiled and deliberately turned to look at Magic head coach Clifford.
"Look, look, Jan has been staring at Clifford!!"
"Yang, it doesn't seem that the five people on the field are opponents, it seems that Clifford on the sidelines is the real enemy of Yang."
At the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied at 85-80, and the Clippers led by five points.
