At this time, the whistle also sounded, and the game began immediately.

Just when the center forwards of both sides were about to jump the ball, the mature and experienced Fournier shook his shoulders and said provocatively: "Yang, you have lost this game tonight, we have prepared a net, just waiting for you to enter the set!" ”

Li Yang, who is possessed by the king of mouth cannons, has already been automatically immune to the trash talk of all opponents.

As a high school student who has been educated in 12 years of compulsory education in China, even if he sprays trash talk, he has never fallen into the bottom line!!

"At the beginning, a lot of people wanted to provoke me like you, but I beat him to doubt his life, I hope you can still laugh like you do now after the game!"

Li Yang was not stunned at all, and immediately replied-for-tat.

"What?" Fournier asked in surprise.

Li Yang didn't bird him anymore, and stood to the side by himself, ready to grab the ball.

Boban and Vucevic jumped the ball, who would have thought that the height of 2.24 meters in Boban would lose to Vucevic, who was one size shorter.

The Magic got possession first, Augustin advanced with the ball, and soon crossed the halfway line and passed to Gordon.

Gordon was the fourth overall pick in '14 and is getting better and better.

When fans first met him, perhaps it was at the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in 16, Gordon and LaVine gave fans a visual feast with super performances, which can be called the most exciting slam dunk contest after Carter.

After the dunk contest, fans rushed to watch Gordon's game, got to know the player, and looked forward to his take-off.

Gordon finally showed his talent last season, and in the final year of his rookie contract, he made the transition from rookie to star.

Last season, he was a solid starter on the team, averaging 18.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

Gordon took the ball, opposite Beverley, he first dotted a dot, and then a cross-step, very abrupt acceleration, all of a sudden passed Beverley, into the inside of a throw.

"Whew!!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Magic team took the lead!!

"Villanes!!"

"Very exciting!"

"Well done!"

“......”

The scene immediately burst into applause and shouts and cheers, who made this the home of the Magic.

The ball converts, and the Clippers attack.

The ball was given to Li Yang, and just after he crossed the middle line, there was an extra master in front of Li Yang, Fournier.

The handsome man from France was the No. 20 pick in 2012 and was righted by the team in the summer of '16.

Fournier is an efficient and versatile scorer at the No. 3 position, and his range can also be stretched beyond the three-point line.

Offense determines the lower limit, and defense determines the upper limit. Nowhere is that pared well with Fournier, who struggles to play against a strong wing and whose defense dictates his ceiling.

Fournier stared at Li Yang, his hands open, not the slightest bit of underestimation, Li Yang glanced at him, thought for a moment, and decided to try it alone first.

The next moment, Li Yang moved, a change of direction, the amplitude was very large, and then the speed exploded, so that Fournier only had time to exclaim "Fake", and he was passed in an instant.

One step past Fournier, Li Yang was about to make a move, but suddenly there was another person in front of him, I don't know when Gordon actually pounced, and it was already in front of him.

The opponent's quick reaction made Li Yang frown slightly, and at this time he either forced his shot or passed the ball.

At this time, Li Yang didn't have time to think about it, he took a step back with an emergency stop, jumped up in an instant, leaned back slightly, dodged Gordon's block, and successfully threw the ball.

"Whew!!"

The basketball went into the net, and the score was 2:2.

Although the goal was scored, in front of the bench, Rivers instinctively frowned and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that the Magic team has targeted Yang for defense." ”

On the court, the game continued, the magic attacked, Augustin blocked a wonderful pass, to the inside Vucevic hand, Vucevic took the ball, turned and hooked the hand to score.

Converting the ball, Li Yang held the ball and advanced, this time he did not play alone, after crossing the halfway line, he made a block with Boban, and then looked for teammates.

But looking at it, he couldn't help frowning, the connection between him and his teammates was cut off by the Magic players, so he couldn't pass the ball for a while.

"Damn, it looks like the other party is prepared." Li Yang scolded secretly in his heart, glanced at the timer, and saw that the 24-second attack time was more than half in an instant, so he could only grit his teeth and do it alone.

The next moment, he no longer hesitated, accelerated directly, and used the flower butterfly step out.

Li Yang dribbled quickly and frantically as if he was close to the ground, and it was impossible for Fournier, with such a low center of gravity, to break such a dazzling dribble!!

But the moment he cut in, the Magic team quickly contracted the defensive line and blocked the inside space, so that Li Yang had no way to break through, so he could only take a step back and throw with his hand raised.

"Bang!!"

This time he couldn't make the shot, and the basketball bounced out of the frame and was rebounded by Vucevic.

"Hurry up and attack!!"

The Magic quickly launched a defensive counterattack, Augustin held the ball and advanced quickly, crossed the halfway line and hit the ground hard, passing the ball to Gordon who cut in on the wing, Gordon flew up, dodged in the air, dodged Boban's airtight block, and scored the ball.

The score is 2:4!

Rivers' brow furrowed even tighter, and his face darkened a little.

Not only him, but even Harris on the bench saw the problem, and quickly got up close to Rivers, and suggested to Rivers: "Coach Doug, should we call a timeout and remind Young?" ”

"Not yet." Rivers thought about it again and again, rejected the suggestion, shook his head and explained, "Every rookie will go through this process, and I believe that Yang will definitely handle it, and when the time comes, Yang's strength will be even better." ”

"What's more, the game has just started now, if you call a timeout at this time, it will hurt morale too much, so let's wait."

"Okay." Harris saw that Rivers was confident and seemed to be prepared, so he said no more.

On the court, the two sides went back and forth, and the score was rising rapidly.

On the Magic team's side, Fournier and Vucevic formed an offensive duo, which was the main scoring point during this time, and the performance of the two was also very eye-catching, one inside and two outside, plus Augustine fed them the ball, the two scored one after another, but in two or three minutes, the Magic team scored 12 points.

On the other hand, on the Magic side, due to the Magic's targeted cutting off of the connection between Li Yang and his teammates, his passing could not form an effective threat.

Basically, the ball that is passed out is not threatening, but after a hand, the ball is given to the teammate and the teammate is allowed to attack with the ball on his own.

Within a few minutes of the game, the Clippers' back-to-back disadvantage was evident.

The offense of several people on the Clippers' side was very sluggish, probably because of back-to-back, Gallinari made a false shot and threw a direct hit.

Then Beverley also shot a three-pointer, and then sent an iron, Beverley made a breakthrough layup, and was directly slapped by Vucevic and flew out of the frontcourt, almost being counterattacked by the Magic team.

The teammates felt bad, and the Clippers collectively began to dumb up on the offensive end and stagnated, and Li Yang could only hold the ball and play by himself when he saw this.

However, the Magic team's co-defense is very fast, and the inside line shrinks very timely, on the one hand, Li Yang can't use the breakthrough point to create offensive opportunities for his teammates, and on the other hand, it also makes it difficult for Li Yang to break through the singles.

As a result, he can only shoot more from the outside.

Maybe it was because the offense didn't go well today, not only did the teammates have no touch one by one, but even Li Yang himself lost his crosshairs, and he didn't score two three-pointers in a row.

At this moment, the score became 6:12, and in only two or three minutes, the Clippers were already 6 points behind, and the start was not good.

The ball of the Magic team, Augustin passed the halfway line to Gordon, Gordon directly accelerated the breakthrough, attracting Gallinari to help defend, he saw this and immediately divided the ball to Vucevic who entered the inside.

After Vucevic got the ball, he faked a false throw, and after deceiving Harrell, he directly dunked with both hands, turning the score into 6:14, and the Magic led by 8 points.

Seeing this, Rivers could only immediately call a timeout.

After the players walked down, Rivers didn't rush to arrange, but looked at Li Yang and said: "Yang, I don't know if you feel it, the other party is defending against you, they have studied your offensive habits, studied your tactical play, and arranged the corresponding defensive strategy, do you see it?" ”

"Well, I can see that." Li Yang nodded, he had already seen that the other party must have come prepared.

Originally, Li Yang wanted to score on his own, but since the other party let him go and cut off his connection with his teammates, then he would do it alone, as long as he scored enough, the other party would naturally change his strategy.

It's a pity that he played very unsmoothly today, and his hand felt very average, playing more than three minutes in the first quarter, shooting 2 of 4, and only scoring 4 points, which is very decent.

Rivers looked at Li Yang, who was a little depressed, and took the initiative to comfort: "Don't worry, don't put too much pressure on yourself, not every player will have such treatment, which just shows that the other party recognizes your current ability, and you deserve so much attention from the other party." ”

"You've proven what you're capable of, and all the opponents after that will treat you like that, and it's impossible to treat you like a rookie anymore, and you've overcome that."

Rivers continued: "The Magic are just the first, and you're going to have other teams going to be against you defensively, so you've got to be prepared. ”

"And now what you have to do is to find a way to crack the opponent's defensive tactics, this is the only way to become a supergiant, you have to overcome it yourself."

Rivers continued, "Now, do you understand what to do, Young? ”

Li Yang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded directly: "Coach Doug, I'm ready and know what to do next." ”

"Okay, I read you right!!" Rivers nodded with satisfaction, turned to the others and said, "Patrick, Mike, Daniro, it's okay if you don't feel good, but you have to be patient when attacking, you still have to shoot outside, and look for your touch." ”

"Although the opponent's defense line is very tight, we can find a breakthrough from the outside, so that we can force the opponent to expand the defense, and the basket will have a chance to shoot, play well, and give me a hard time."

"Clippers Rise!!" Several people shouted in a high-spirited manner.
