Chapter 102: How can you spare the old yin who has stepped on his feet!!
Stopouts, substitutions.
On the Clippers' side, Li Yang was replaced, Williams was on again, and the Magic side replaced Vucevic and Gordon, with two minutes left in the first half, the Magic were far ahead, and they were not in a hurry.
Waiting for Li Yang to come down, Rivers patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yang, do a good job, take a rest first, within five minutes, you don't have to worry too much for the time being." ”
"Hmm." Li Yang nodded, he just came down to brush up his thoughts, calmly thinking about how to deal with Magic's flexible defensive tactics.
In the previous response to the Magic's defense, Li Yang mainly took the initiative to make fouls, or used breakthroughs to attract defenses, and divided the ball to create open shooting opportunities for teammates.
Now the Magic have changed their defensive strategy, marking at half-court and on the pack, Gordon is responsible for marking him, and Fournier is ready to go straight to the pack when necessary.
As a result, Li Yang didn't get any chance to score in the next two minutes, but fortunately, the opponent was able to seize the opportunity to send an assist as soon as he used Li Yang to wrap up.
Li Yang took the opportunity to hand out 2 assists, so overall, the Clippers didn't fall behind too much.
In the last two minutes of the first half, the Magic team was on fire and continued to expand the score, and at halftime, the score was fixed at 50:60, and the Clippers trailed by 10 points.
At half-time, players from both sides went back to the dressing room.
In the audience, the fans began to talk.
"Yang played an average performance today."
"That's because the Magic were too defensive against him, didn't you see? Even the bag clip was used. ”
"yes, the Magic have a couple of points, Fournier, Vucevic and even Gordon and Augustino are all able to score on their own."
"In comparison, the Clippers are dwarfed by this, basically only Yang and Reed are two strong points, but Reed is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting themselves."
"Gallinari can also score, but he didn't seem to have much desire to attack today. Compared with the two teams, the Clippers are still inferior to the Magic. ”
"It would be nice if Harris was there, at least he could bang and bang."
"Yes, if Harris is on the court, it will definitely attract some defensive attention, and Young will have more chances, but it's a pity that he is not here!!"
At this time, Clippers fans began to miss Harris a little.
They all looked at Harris, who was sitting on the Clippers bench in a suit and leather shoes, and if Harris could play, the situation might be different.
Of course, Harris is destined to not be able to play this game, so the Clippers have to find another way.
Chinese. The big screen in Tencent's live broadcast room was full of comments.
"Looks like the Clippers are in danger today!!"
"Harris didn't go on today, as Li Yang's right-hand man, if Harris is on it, the situation will definitely not be like this."
"I don't know don't want to beep here, it's only half a game, the difference is only a few points, and I may have overtaken the Clippers with a mouthful of spit."
"I don't understand? It's ridiculous. You don't look at Li Yang's performance today, half time passed, only 13 points and 4 assists, just with his performance today, do you still want to win? ”
"What's wrong with 13 points, 4 assists? That's a good statistic. It's only half time, what if Li Yang breaks out in the first half? ”
The fans began to argue, some supported Li Yang, and some wanted to step on him to rub the heat, and the quarrel was inexorable.
Amway Center, USA.
At the beginning of the second half, Li Yang continued to rest off the court, and the Clippers sent an all-bench lineup: Scott, Harrell, Alexander, Reed, Teodosic.
It's the same with the Magic, who are on the bench with a full bench lineup, and several of the main players are resting off the court, and they are now leading, and as long as the point difference does not narrow, they will not be on the main line.
The two sides come and go, and time flies quickly.
A few minutes passed in a blink of an eye, the Clippers failed to take advantage, and the Magic did not suffer, and the two sides played a tie, and the difference was still 10 points.
Entering the second half of the third quarter, the Clippers changed to the starters, and the Magic also changed to the starting lineup.
The Clippers attacked, and after Li Yang crossed the halfway line, he called Harrell to come out and block the demolition.
With the help of the block, Li Yang took a step to the side and shot directly outside the three-point line.
"Huh!"
The ball was scored, and the difference was narrowed to 7 points!
"Good shot!"
"Wow, the three points are finally open!"
In the audience, the fans who supported the Clippers were shaken.
After this three-point process, Li Yang continued to exert his might, first scoring a throw after a breakthrough, and causing the opponent's foul, making it 2+1!!
Then, he used a counterrun to shake off Gordon, caught the ball in the bottom corner and shot, and hit the same shot, one person scored 9 points in a row, leading the Clippers to play a 9:4 offensive shockwave, and the difference was chased to 5 points.
59:64。
Seeing the Clippers counterattack with such ferocity, Coach Clifford immediately called a timeout.
The timeout comes back and the players from both sides return to the field.
The Magic team attacked, Augustin adjusted the mentality of being blocked before, dribbled through the half court, and wanted to find an opportunity to play Li Yang, a rookie rookie who was not afraid of tigers.
Gordon, who was in the high post, received Augustin's pass, singled Beverley with the ball frame, dribbled under the crotch and changed direction in front of his body, opened the distance between him and Beverley, faced Beverley's defense, and hit a mid-range jumper to pull back 2 points.
The Clippers quickly served the baseline ball, and Li Yang quickly advanced, came to the three-point line, and while the Magic was not in a good position, he singled Augustin in the frame.
Li Yang failed to shake Augustine after dribbling the ball under his crotch in a row, and then connected with the butterfly step through the flowers, Augustin quickly retreated, blocking Li Yang's breakthrough route in advance, but he didn't see Li Yang break through after a few steps back.
Li Yang pulled the ball back, then stepped back and retreated outside the three-point line to pull out a three-point shot.
Nearly a meter away from Li Yang, it was impossible to seal it, Augustine pretended to fight to seal it, and quietly moved forward to the location where Li Yang was located under his feet.
Li Yang was also very alert, and after shooting the basketball, he caught a glimpse of Augustine's small movements in the air, and was annoyed, and decided to give him a lesson that he would never forget.
Fair competition, however, will ruin people's future!!
Li Yang adjusted his posture to settle down, and when he landed, his feet stepped on the soles of Augustine's feet, and then the two of them hugged their feet and fell to the ground in pain.
Seeing Li Yang fall to the ground, the teammates of the Clippers ran over to surround Li Yang and asked about the specific situation.
Beverly could see clearly from one side, Augustine wanted to be in the dark, although he didn't know what was going on and was injured, but this matter couldn't end like this.
He angrily questioned Augustin who fell to the ground, and after the other Clippers players knew the cause and effect, they also stepped forward to surround Augustin, and they were about to fight if they didn't agree.
The Magic players also surrounded the Clippers players, and Augustin was also their teammate, so they couldn't let the Clippers players beat Augustin in front of them, and the big battle was about to break out.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee hurriedly ran over to separate the players from both sides to avoid escalating the situation.
Rivers also ran to the sidelines to understand what happened, and at the same time asked about Li Yang's physical condition with a worried face, and loudly accused Augustine of his shameless behavior, and asked the referee to punish him severely.
After a brief examination by the team doctor, Li Yang was helped back to the bench by Beverley and Gallinari to check on the injury.
The referee must watch the replay before making a decision.
Foot padding is the worst behavior on the basketball court, should not appear on the basketball court, once it appears must be severely punished, if allowed to develop, it will definitely produce violence on the court, causing adverse effects, but also make the sport lose its original meaning.
Through the replay, it can be seen that Augustine is suspected of deliberately stepping on his feet, and Li Yang unintentionally stepped on Augustin's feet when he fell, resulting in the possibility that both of them could be seriously injured.
Team doctors for the Clippers and Magic examined the injuries of Lai Yang and Augustin, respectively.
Augustine suffered a completely crushed fracture of the ball of his foot, paying a huge price for his own shameless behavior, which was directly reimbursed for the season.
Li Yang's injury was unexpected, but a slight sprain was not a big deal, and everyone thought that Li Yang was too lucky.
After a few minutes of stopping, the game resumed.
Li Yang's three-point goal effectively added a free throw, Augustin fouled a malicious foul, and the Clippers got a chance to make two free throws.
Regarding Augustine's injury, Li Yang did not have the leisure to understand, and he could not live by himself.
Li Yang came to the free throw line to receive a pass from the referee and hit three free throws.
The score on the big screen changed to 65-66, and the Clippers were just one point away.
The Magic replaced Augustin with Rose and continued to play the rest of the game.
