Chapter 132: Targeted Defense, Brother Alphabet's Fatal Shortcomings Exposed??

Although the difference in points is not big, there has been no way to overtake, and it makes people gnash their teeth just thinking about it, so Coach Budenholzer called a timeout, and it is not a way to continue like this, and some tactical adjustments must be made to strive to overtake the score.

On the Clippers' side, Coach Rivers is also in full swing to lay out his tactics.

After some arrangement, the players on both sides returned to the field, and both teams rotated personnel, but the main core players of both sides were still on the field.

Coming back from a timeout, the Bucks possessed the ball.

"Pull away." Brother Alphabet gestured to his teammates and asked for the ball in a low position, but as soon as he got the ball, Li Yang caught it, and he could only divide the ball quickly.

However, Brother Alphabet did not give up the offense, passed the ball out and moved to the outside, came to the three-point line and suddenly ran back, and at the same time raised his left hand, pointed to the top of the basket, and rushed to the basket along the bottom line.

Bledsoe understood and threw the ball to the basket hard, and Brother Alphabet jumped up and grabbed the basketball as an empty dunk.

"Bang dang!"

The basketball was dunked, and the difference was only 2 points.

Offensive and defensive switch, Li Yang advanced to the front court with the ball, and the opponent also came up to wrap up, Li Yang directly divided the ball, and then slipped along the bottom line, got rid of Bledsoe with Gallinari's cover, and went back to outside the three-point line.

Alexander passed the ball over in time, and Li Yang received the ball with a three-point shot, and the basketball crossed an arc and hit it steadily.

"Let him score again." Bucks head coach Budenholzer is also helpless, and the opponent's off-ball running has obviously reached the league's top level.

In fact, Li Yang's biggest headache for the Bucks head coach is not his breakthrough, the Bucks have Lopez and Brother Alphabet in the restricted area, the inside basket is very strong, and he is not afraid of the Clippers' strong burst, even if he breaks through, I have an inside warrior waiting for you in the restricted area.

But he has a headache for Li Yang's shooting, especially this kind of catch and shoot in this off-ball movement, so that the defender has no way to parry at all, once Li Yang runs out of the opportunity, then he can only pray that Li Yang will hit the iron himself.

The Bucks went on offense.

Brother Alphabet received the ball in the high post and made a standard offensive triple threat, and Harris, who was defending on the opposite side, was indifferent and stubbornly held the line that Brother Alphabet broke through.

At this time, Brother Alphabet's shooting rate was not high in terms of three-point shooting or mid-range shooting, which is why Harris dared to let him shoot.

Brother Alphabet doesn't want to do so much, since the breakthrough route has been blocked, let's have an iron and bloody pull.

Brother Alphabet kicked his feet, his body suddenly pulled up, and he made a mid-distance jumper, Harris pounced in time, jumped up and used a trick to cover his eyes, trying his best to block Brother Alphabet's eyes.

"Bang"!

The basketball did not smash the basket but smashed the rebound, the basketball bounced out, Gallinarika grabbed the defensive rebound in a good position, found Li Yang at the first time and passed the ball.

Li Yang held the ball and advanced quickly, and Middleton quickly stuck in Li Yang's travel path, slowing down his advance and preventing the Clippers from playing a quick transition offense.

After slowing down, Li Yang dribbled to the top of the arc, passed the ball to Harris on the left three points, and then began to run without the ball.

After seeing Harris holding the ball, he quickly cheered up and let Harris score a few goals in the first half, and now he was determined not to let the opponent get an easy chance to score, he quickly waved his arms and pressed it.

Harris made a tactical gesture, Gallinari ran over to cover, and Brother Alphabet thought that Harris was going to break through with the help of cover, ready to chase around the cover at any time.

I saw that Harris suddenly passed the ball to Li Yang, who ran to the free throw line, and then took advantage of the fact that his brother's attention was on Li Yang's side, quickly bypassed the cover and cut to the basket.

After Li Yang got the ball, Middleton immediately stuck to the defense and did not give Li Yang room to shoot.

But Li Yang made a wonderful pass from behind, and the ball flew directly to the empty cut Harris, and then the opponent smashed into the basket and made a layup posture.

Lopez, who came from the defense, jumped up to block Harris's layup, but to his surprise, Harris pulled the upward basketball back and stuffed it through the gap to Harrell, who caught the ball and got up from the ground and dunked on the spot.

"Oh! The wonderful tactical cooperation, the tacit cooperation between Li Yang and Harris, allowed Harrell to successfully complete the violent dunk, and this ball was a tacit cooperation between the three. Barkley said excitedly.

"In fact, if it weren't for Brother Alphabet's excellent performance today, maybe the Bucks would not have been so far behind."

"Giannis, I'm not worried, he has such strength, and he is a person who plays very seriously and has a very strong desire to win, and he will not let Li Yang be alone in the front."

The head coach of the Bucks pinched his chin, frowned, and sighed: "It's just that Young still has to be more comprehensive, in addition to scoring, his passing is also a huge threat." ”

"At least in this regard, Giannis is much inferior, and in fact, there is no one in our team who can have the playmaking ability of Li Yang."

Nowadays, alliances are such a general trend, and a good organizer has become more and more important.

The role of the playmaker is to give the ball to teammates who are in better attacking positions everywhere to complete the attack.

Because the pace of offense and defense is getting faster and faster, and the finishing ability of players is getting stronger and stronger, but if there is no defender who can organize the attack well and connect his teammates, the role of other players will be greatly reduced.

It's not that the Bucks don't have organized guards, Bledsoe and Brogdon are, but their organizational skills are not as good as Li Yang's.

The head coach of the Bucks is afraid of Li Yang, on the one hand, because of Li Yang's scoring ability, and on the other hand, because of Li Yang's organizational ability.

Brother Alphabet can play well, contributing points and defense to the team, but Li Yang can not only contribute points and rebounds, but also send exquisite passes, which can lead his teammates' offense while playing himself.

Although Brother Alphabet is also working hard to do this, he is far worse than Li Yang.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Budenholzer is well aware that he still has some major flaws, such as outside shooting, passing ability, and ball control.

And Li Yang has excellent projection ability, ability to organize passing, coupled with the speed and physical confrontation of the league, it stands to reason that such a player should not play guard, but should play small forward like James.

The second quarter ended quickly.

The score was fixed at 59:64, and the Clippers led by five points.

At half-time, the players of both teams returned to the locker room.

Bucks head coach Budenholzer walked into the visiting locker room with a low face, waved his hand to signal the players not to get up, he took out the tactical board, and said in a deep voice: "In the second half, our defensive strategy needs to make some adjustments......

At the same time, the fans of the two teams in the audience were still arguing.

"The strength of the Bucks is very strong, especially Brother Alphabet, this is only half time, he has already scored 28 points, and he may score 40+ points today."

"Brother Alphabet's playing style is so exciting, it makes people's blood boil and fans."

"Cowardly!! Isn't Brother Alphabet just able to dunk? Can his dunk still be compared to Young? And Li Yang has now scored 26 points, and he is about to get a triple-double. ”

After 15 minutes of waiting for the fans in front of the TV and computer, the players of both teams finally returned to the stadium in anticipation of the fans.

The second half of the game begins.

The Clippers changed the starting lineup, and when Li Yang came to the frontcourt, he found that the defender had become Middleton, and he switched with Bledsoe, and Bledsoe went to defend Alexander.

"Switching to a taller Middleton to defend me looks like he's trying to limit my outside shots." Li Yang knew it in his heart, and it was immediately an accelerated breakthrough.

There are no superfluous feints, just rely on speed to break through.

But Li Yang's first step was too fast, which made Middleton's heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly retreated, but he didn't think about it, stumbled under his feet, and almost didn't fall.

Li Yang directly rushed over, killed the inside line, jumped up against Brother Alphabet, the two collided violently in the air, Brother Alphabet raised his arm, his eyes were sharp, and he wanted to give Li Yang a fatal cover.

López next to him also jumped up, his hands like covering the sky and the sun, sealing all the space, this can be regarded as a double insurance, even if Li Yang dodges Brother Alphabet, there is still him behind him.

However, at this time, Li Yang shook his hand, and the basketball flew past López's ear at high speed, which scared López a lot, and his heart suddenly felt bad.

Behind Lopez, Harrell slapped his horse and caught the basketball that Li Yang passed out of the cracks, jumped up with a two-handed explosive buckle, and the huge force made the basket directly deformed, and Lopez was even more stumbling by the trend, and tripped on Brother Alphabet's feet, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Omaga ......"

"This dunk is too violent."

"Look, López is so pitiful, I feel sorry for López for a second......"

The fans let out a burst of exclamations.

Brother Alphabet stepped forward and pulled López up, and said depressedly: "I will help you avenge." ”

Lopez replied with a pale face: "Giannis, I think it's best not to forget the coach's instructions." ”

Brother Alphabet frowned and sighed, "Okay, I see." ”
