Chapter Thirty-Eight: Regrouping and Attacking with a Bright Sword
The halftime break was over quickly, and the Clippers players walked onto the court again with their chests held high.
"Beep !!!"
The second half of the game has officially begun!!
"Don't be careless, don't be careless!!" Miha still yelled at his teammates.
It's a pity that he's just a rookie, and he is soft-spoken!
In the first round, after Sowell brought the ball to the front court, he immediately selflessly passed the ball to Li Yang, who ran around without the ball.
Miha's defence was blocked by Rod Riggs, and Hart was clearly not as aggressive as he was in the first half.
Li Yang was familiar with catching the ball and threw it, and shot very quickly!!
The basketball makes a wonderful trajectory in the air!!
"Whew!!"
Seeing such a smooth and coordinated Clippers team, Miha instinctively felt a bad feeling in his heart.
He could see that the Clippers who came back from halftime had completely changed, not only were they high-spirited, but they also played very reasonably, and Li Yang's rhythm and speed were a notch higher than the first half.
"Could it be that he ......" Miha looked at Li Yang's back thoughtfully, and muttered softly.
In the offensive round of the Clippers, Li Yang slowly advanced to the front court with the ball and reached out to make a tactical gesture.
As soon as he made this gesture, Rod Riggs on the right glanced at Li Yang in surprise, but when he saw Li Yang wave at him to signal him to run, he realized that this was indeed a tactic with him as the end point of attack.
Delgado made an off-ball block on the right and Rod Riggs managed to get away from the defender.
At this time, Li Yang had already begun to hold the ball and kill inside, and as soon as the steel cannon body exerted his strength, he instantly gave him fifteen feet of strength, and he pushed Hart to the basket hard.
Hart didn't try to make a steal, and Li Yang had a chance to score after breaking in, but he didn't choose to shoot, but didn't hesitate to throw the ball into the hands of Rod Riggs, who had run out of space on the outside.
After Rod Riggs received the ball, he jumped straight out of his hand, and the movement was so fluid.
I saw the ball cut a perfect arc in the air and plunged into the net.
"Huh!"
Rod Riggs hit the three-pointer with a solid shot.
It was the smoothest offensive playback of the Clippers since the opening game.
After Rod Riggs scored, he was very excited, although it was just a simple fixed-point three-pointer, but at this time he felt an indescribable comfort in his heart, and even Delgado, who blocked the dismantling, looked excited, as if the ball just now was scored by him.
"Well done!" Li Yang retreated, took the initiative to run to Rod Riggs, reached out and high-fived him.
Rod Riggs's face was even more surprised, although he and Li Yang were teammates, but because of the previous training provocation, there was always an inexplicable estrangement in his heart, he didn't expect Li Yang to not only run tactics for him at this time, but also take the initiative to high-five him to celebrate.
In the next round, the Lakers' offense, Miha is ready to force Upshaw.
Miha was confident, his offensive skills and physical strength were enough to support him in this series of offensive moves, and he directly advanced to the position close to the basket with a crushing back-body single, and then he turned around and was ready to shoot a board.
At this moment, Rod Riggs suddenly turned around, and it seemed that the confidence of the whole person had come up, and he slapped Miha in the face.
Rod Riggs, who jumped high, slapped the ball directly to the rebound.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound!
Pegboard Adventure!
Miha's face was incredulous, but in the next second, the ball had been picked up by Delgado and thrown it to Li Yang.
Li Yang held the ball and accelerated and rushed forward.
The rest of the Lakers team didn't seem to expect Miha to be capped at all, until Li Yang broke through with the ball, they didn't come back to their senses, only Hart on the outside saw Li Yang accelerate, turned around and chased after him.
Although the players of the Clippers were also half a beat slower, they saw that it was Li Yang who was holding the ball, and they instinctively buried their heads and rushed forward.
At this time, Li Yang was guarding the ball to prevent being stealed by Hart, and at the same time holding the ball to the front court.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the Lakers' backcourt and entered the free throw line, he turned to look at his teammates who were following up on both sides, picked up the ball and began to step on three steps to make a layup.
Hart leaned on him, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he could see that even if he fouled this ball, he would not let Li Yang score.
After Li Yang stepped on two steps, he suddenly didn't turn his head, and threw the ball directly to the right.
Hart, who was already about to foul, was immediately stunned, but before he could react, he was pushed out of the bottom line by Li Yang.
The ball went to Rod Riggs, who was following up on the right.
Rod Riggston's eyes were empty, he held the ball, his legs glared, and the whole person instantly rose into the air.
He grabbed the ball with both hands, and the whole person fell straight down like a meteorite.
"Bang!"
Rod Riggs slams dunk with both hands!
"Yay!"
It was only then that the Clippers fans recovered from their shock and did not hesitate to send thunderous cheers to the Clippers players.
For the first time after the opening, the Clippers played such a beautiful defensive counterattack, and it was also a violent dunk!
Rod Riggs dunked in and pulled the basket before he landed, and after landing, he beat his chest excitedly and vented the frustration in his heart.
After the Clippers scored, the team's morale suddenly increased, and you must know that this kind of defensive counterattack will boost the team's morale the most.
In the next round, the Lakers used Hart's breakaway to draw the defense and then split the ball to Caruso on the right, who hit a mid-range long two-point shot.
But unlike before, they seem to have finally found the tacit sense of understanding that they won in the first two games, and they have enough confidence, and there is no such thing as before.
In the next offensive round, the Clippers continued to run back to Li Yang after several patient passes, and finally ran out of the big open space, Rod Riggs, who held the ball on the outside, passed the ball over as soon as possible, and the outside clue Will blocked Hart who was chasing after him.
Li Yang glanced at the basket, did not hesitate, raised his hand is a three-point shot, there is no suspense, the basketball hollow into the net.
"Huh!"
Li Yang hit his first three-pointer, and he didn't expect it to come so late.
Natalie, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene with a satisfied look on her face, in the previous training, he knew that Li Yang had a super high ball quotient far beyond other players.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Li Yang inadvertently ignored the feelings of his teammates because he was too eager to win, but fortunately, it was a little clear, and now this style of play not only drove his teammates, but also brought his own offensive rhythm, such Li Yang is the excellent point guard he wants to see.
I think it was still the logo male West who repeatedly asked the team to choose Li Yang, and Reeves was against it from beginning to end, he thought that Li Yang, who was only 1.9 meters tall and had poor defense, was not worth the team to choose with the thirteenth pick in the first round, and she thought the same.
But since the first contact with Li Yang, when she saw Li Yang training as hard as other undrafted rookies, and even working hard, her opinion has changed a little, and then Li Yang's ball intelligence and excellent three-point shooting ability in training made her slowly accept Li Yang.
It was only now that she finally agreed with Li Yang, and with Li Yang's ball quotient, her future achievements would at least not be too bad.
At this moment, Li Yang assisted Delgado on the field again to complete the violent dunk, Delgado excitedly and Li Yang came to a chest to celebrate, this black and hard American center, driven by Li Yang, although still in the inferior position with Miha, but also gradually regained confidence.
Under the leadership of Li Yang, the Clippers gradually regained their game form in practice.
In the third quarter, the Lakers' final offense.
Hart received the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc and directly faced Li Yang's defense, he tried a few steps left and right, and seeing that Li Yang did not have the slightest possibility of being shaken, he had to choose a difficult, but more cautious turnover jumper.
Seeing that the 24-second offensive time was about to run out, Hart, who couldn't resist Li Yang, could only hurriedly complete the jump.
However, Hart is a little bit of a matter of course. When he made a move, Li Yang had already pounced, as if covering the sky and the sun, and directly slapped Hart's shot with a huge palm.
"Bang!" The basketball slammed hard into the left side of the face of Lakers power forward Wagner.
"Olish Shet!" Wagner fell to the ground in response, sitting on the ground with his big red and swollen face and swearing, not caring about the basketball on the ground.
Li Yang's eyes were quick, he rushed up to pick up the floor ball, and threw it to Sowell, who was also a little dazed in the front court.
Sowell, who was shocked by the scene just now, saw the basketball flying rapidly, instinctively caught the basketball, spread his feet and ran violently, and suddenly opened a few positions away from the defender, and easily made a layup to complete the score.
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle at this point.
It turned out that Wagner, who had been covering his nose after being knocked to the ground by Li Yang with a ball just now, suddenly felt a burst of heat in his nose, and nosebleeds gushed out as if he didn't want money in an instant.
"Oh God, what did I just see!!"
"Oh my God, in the second half, Li Yang was like a different person, he was so cruel that he directly smashed poor Wagner out of his nosebleed."
"Wagner got a nosebleed, but it didn't look serious, and after a simple stop to stop the bleeding, he was back on the field.
"Oh, we didn't expect that Li Yang would be able to burst out with such amazing reflexes and bounce speed." In Tencent's live broadcast room, the commentator suddenly raised his voice and explained in an excited and crazy tone.
"His bounce speed and pace are very good."
"It's the perfect cap."
Li Yang's cap directly made the commentator and the fans on the scene excited.
Li Yang shook his finger at Hart: "Josh, you remember for me, don't easily challenge my defensive penalty area." "No one expected that Li Yang would have such a domineering side.
Li Yang was condescending and directly put down a cruel sentence: "If you want to shoot, it's best to be two meters away from me, only in this way will you have a chance of success, and only a trace of it." ”
"Orichette !!" Hart spat on the ground, glared at the pretending co-op in front of him very unpleasantly, and then walked away without looking back.
Li Yang's words of extreme coercion were passed on without a trace.
"Yang, it's so domineering, I'm powdered, I'll book the Clippers game in the future."
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still led 65-50, but the Clippers finally chased the score to 15 points.
