Chapter 125: Halftime Quasi-Triple Double! Another big explosion?
"Hehe, Lillard was bounced off, it's really unexpected!!"
"Yang, he actually contributed a tank crushing body defense! I think Yang can try to play the number three position!! ”
"You must know that Lillard's physical confrontation ability in the guard is not as powerful as Dawei, but it is also a first-class level, but when he encounters Li Yang from China, he will be directly knocked away, which is really incredible."
The big-mouthed Buckley was still intoxicated by Li Yang's explosive physical confrontation, and he was very excited, and Li Yang directly struck Lillard.
McCollum looked at Li Yang after scoring the goal, as if he was provoking: "Rookie, even if you can defend against Damian, you can't stop my breakthrough!" ”
Li Yang suddenly felt that things had become interesting, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit, first playing Lillard and then McCollum, what he wanted to do most when he entered the NBA was to harden all the guards in the league, accumulate a lot of experience, see the gap between himself and them, and then strengthen his shortcomings.
McCollum's basketball skills are almost at the pinnacle of their game, with not flashy ball handling but every movement is realistic, and his offensive tempo is excellent, while his shooting accuracy is very consistent.
McCollum is still primarily a finisher on the team, but he is also a great playmaker, and he is also very good at reading the opposing team's defensive strategy when making pick-and-rolls, and can quickly play the ball to teammates when he is packed.
Lillard thought that after Li Yang was provoked by his teammate McCollum, he would be very impulsive, geniuses are very arrogant, and they will definitely do their best to save face, and Aminu is ready to wrap up.
However, Li Yang ran to the bottom line to catch the ball with a smile, and there seemed to be a strong desire in that smile.
Just when Lillard was ready to fight Li Yang, Li Yang suddenly passed the ball to Alexander's hand on the side.
He took advantage of Gallinari's off-ball cover and began to cut inside into the basket, and Lillard was blocked by Gallinari when he was chasing, helplessly watching Li Yang's figure coming and going in the restricted area.
After Li Yang rushed into the penalty area, he immediately received Alexander's ground-hitting pass and made a quick stop jump shot.
"Whew!!"
2 points hit again.
Nurkic under the basket was stuck by the black and hard Harrell, and he couldn't help the defense in the first place, so he could only watch Li Yang jump in front of him.
Lillard looked at the rookie who was very rational and had a big picture view, but he himself was a little anxious, as long as the opponent's mentality did not collapse and did not make mistakes, he knew that his offense would only become more and more difficult.
Li Yang, the demon, will soon find out his breakthrough routine completely, and at that time, he will be completely passive, and he will even be beaten bloodily.
This time, Lillard used a quick start, stop, and rush up again, trying to deceive Li Yang's center of gravity, and then break through into the inside.
But this time, Lillard could clearly feel that Li Yang's reaction was much faster than just now, and the demon was gradually adapting to his offensive rhythm, and he barely escaped Li Yang's pursuit.
The Clippers' defense contracted quickly, Lillard glanced at it, and immediately saw Alexander coming to help defend him, Lillard knew that he couldn't score in the frame, so he could only pass the ball back to Nurkic like a stitch.
Nurkic was scolded by head coach Stotts during the timeout and frustrated.
In order not to continue to be scolded, Nurkic could only hit the basket hard, and with his height and tonnage advantage, he stood up to Harrell and forced a hook hand to score a layup.
"Well done, Yusuf, that's going to be the case!!"
Trail Blazers head coach Stotts on the sidelines shook his fist excitedly, which is what his team's center should play, rather than always relying on the backcourt to play with two guns floating on the outside.
Offense and defense transitioned, and the Clippers offense.
Lillard saw Li Yang dribbling in front of him, thinking that Li Yang would pass the ball again and run without the ball, and he was not ready to defend the breakthrough at all, but this time Li Yang's behavior was beyond his expectations.
"Hehe, Damian, are you surprised, surprised??"
"The real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, I will have too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up!!"
Before the words fell, Li Yang immediately used a large crossover, shook off Lillard in the blink of an eye, and then accelerated into the interior line.
He didn't expect to get past Lillard so easily, and then burst near the free throw line and made a jumper shot.
"Whew!!"
2 points again.
"That's it? Damian, your defense has regressed again!! When Li Yang retreated and passed by Lillard, he didn't forget to leave a snack.
In the next round, the Trail Blazers' offense was coordinated by Lillard and Aminu, and then they encountered the Clippers' infinite change of defense.
Lillard forced a layup with a reed, but was interfered by Gallinari, who assisted in the defense under the basket, and the basketball bounced out of the frame, and Nurkic, who was unmarked under the basket, made a strong jump to make a basket.
Turning around, Li Yang and Harrell successfully coordinated with each other, rushed into the restricted area at great speed, and passed the ball back to Gallinari who was standing outside the three-point line as he went.
I saw an orange ball remnant flying towards Gallinari quickly, and after receiving the basketball that flew quickly with difficulty, he quickly adjusted and shot three-point.
"Huh!" Bang!
Basketball is hollow into the net again!
Gallinari secretly shouted that it was dangerous, if he had concentrated his own attention, it would be difficult to catch such an accurate and fast pass, just now he was not concentrating, and he almost missed the opportunity to catch the ball.
After Gallinari sighed, he quickly returned to his position to mark his defender.
In the next few rounds, the Trail Blazers relied on McCollum and Lillard's singles and assists Nurkic to force kills on the inside to catch up with the score.
Under the leadership of Li Yang, the Clippers played a block and dismantled the breakout, and sent superb wonderful passes to assist outside teammates to hit three-point shots, expanding the lead and firmly occupying the initiative.
At the end of the half, the score on the big screen was fixed at 66:52, and the Clippers led the Trail Blazers by 14 points into the second half.
The players and coaches of both sides returned to the dressing room to rest and lay out the tactics for the second half, and the final result of the game was still in suspense.
And Li Yang scored 24 points in the first half, and he also had 9 assists, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.
Lillard, who was opposite Li Yang, only scored a measly 14 points, and he also had 3 turnovers, all of which were caused by Li Yang.
"I'm happy, it's 24+9+7 points in the half, will this Li Yang still give other rookies a way to live."
"It seems that Li Yang is about to explode again today, and the three pairs should be proper!!"
Many fans have discussed.
After the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers and others returned to their locker rooms one after another, and Lillard's face became even darker.
In the Trail Blazers locker room, coach Stotts is seriously laying out offensive and defensive tactics for the second half of the game.
At the moment, he didn't know what to say.
Throughout the first half, he profoundly understood the fact that this rookie is really not something Lillard can defend, and Lillard's defensive ability is more than three stories behind.
"Damian, don't be discouraged, it's not that you don't work hard, and the other party is too powerful." Stotts reluctantly patted Lillard on the shoulder and encouraged his disciple.
"Continued to put pressure on Yang in the second half, he is a rookie who has just entered the league, he is certainly inexperienced in physical distribution, his physical decline will inevitably affect the Clippers' offense, and it is impossible to stay focused on the defensive end, we must seize the opportunity to overtake the score in one fell swoop."
"At the same time, other people play more blocking and dismantling cooperation for Damian and CJ, if the other party changes defenses, Damian and CJ will play alone, and they can't hesitate because they have a co-defense, I don't believe that the Wizards' infinite change of defense can prevent our tried and tested blocking and dismantling tactics."
"Nurkic, you can play more aggressively! Remember to impact the inside line more, there were a few strong hits in the first half that had a good effect, and you should rush into the inside line more to make kills, and strengthen physical confrontation! We're going to play with our momentum! "Stotts is unquestionably arranged.
The other side.
In the locker room of the Clippers.
At this moment, the players of the Clippers are particularly excited, and they actually led the opponent by 14 points in the first half of the game.
The most important thing is that Li Yang is too powerful.
It was because of his outstanding performance that he led the Clippers to a huge lead, 14 points, which is not a small gap.
