Chapter Seventy-Four: Retribution Comes Too Fast Like a Tornado!!
In the next few rounds, both teams played their own games.
On the Wizards' side, the backcourt continued to shoot with two guns, and the two combined to shoot three three-pointers.
On the Clippers' side, Harris hit two more mid-range shots, and Li Yang also took the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.
The score between the two teams came to 45-54, and the Clippers blocked the Wizards' fierce counterattack to keep the margin around 10 points.
Wizards head coach Brooks stood in front of the bench and shook his head helplessly, Beal and Wall have played like this, and they haven't been able to catch up with the score, and none of this is the result he wants to see at the moment.
After the Wizards scored another goal, Coach Rivers cautiously requested a timeout from the technical desk.
47οΌ54γ
In the final five minutes of the second quarter, Coach Brooks asked his players to try to close the deficit to less than five points by the end of the first half.
At the same time, Brooks also emphasized to his players that Harris's defense was hot, and Harris's shooting was so hot that it was smoking!!
After returning from the timeout, Harris had a noticeable increase in the number of defenders around him.
Porter and Beal were in front of Harris almost all the time, preventing Harris from shooting.
The Clippers' offense is still dominated by Lai Yang.
Li Yang slowly held the ball to the frontcourt, and in front of him was still Wall in the main defense.
Li Yang had already noticed that Harris was being guarded by multiple people, so this time he did not continue to pass, but completed a dry pull-up jumper directly on the three-point line!
When everyone thought that Yang Liyang would make a pass, he took the initiative to complete the shot!
Out of the blue!
Wall, who was standing in front of him, did not react at all.
Wall originally thought that Li Yang would continue to pretend to break through and pass the basketball to Harris, so his defensive center of gravity has been relatively backward, always ready to press Li Yang!!
"Huh!"
Li Yang, who didn't score much in the second quarter, finally showed his true strength!
Three-point shot kills with one hit!!
The Clippers pulled the score back to 10 points again.

During the retreat, Li Yang also celebrated with Harris's symbolic high-five.
Next, the two teams formed a stalemate again, you come and go, the sound of iron is endless, whether the game is good or not, it is really not exciting.
Before you know it, the first half came to the final 36 seconds, and the two teams were tied at 54-64, and the Clippers continued to lead by 10 points.
The Wizards attacked, and Wall faced Li Yang's defense again.
"Yang, you saluted me with my moves in the first quarter, but in my opinion your performance is really ugly......" Wall changed hands and dribbled left and right on the spot, while at the same time, his mouth kept provocatively at Li Yang.
After being in place for several seconds, Wall suddenly accelerated and officially launched the attack!
Wall broke through Li Yang, the speed was so fast, he rushed over in one step, and suddenly stopped suddenly!!
Wall's speed this time was very fast, and before Li Yang could react, his whole body rushed over.
But Wall did not take this opportunity to go straight to the basket, but chose to make an emergency stop to pull the ball back, which tested Li Yang's balance ability very much.
"He didn't fall, he didn't even panic in his steps, how could this be? Is his defense really that good? β
Wall was a little puzzled, in fact, he just started and stopped suddenly, just wanted to use this rapid rhythm change to make the use of his body close to his body lose his balance, but he didn't expect to be unable to do so.
"Damn, this sinister fellow wants to play with me! Fortunately, I now have nearly eighty percent of Tony Allen's close defensive skills, otherwise I would have almost been planted, and it seems that I am not strong enough. Li Yang was really a false alarm, and he no longer dared to be careless, and continued to cling to Fang Wall.
Seeing that half of the offensive time had been consumed, Wall didn't dare to delay any longer, and this time the continuous change of direction really broke through Li Yang once.
Li Yang is also weak, and it is difficult for Wall, who really broke out with all his strength, to completely prevent death, he can only watch Wall enter the penalty area.
In the face of Harrell's defense, Wall jumped up and even staged a 360-degree turn layup!!
"What?! Retribution comes too fast like a tornado!! Li Yang looked depressed.
Wall actually faced Harrell's defense, completed a 360-degree layup with a physical confrontation with him, and had to add a free throw!!
β2+1οΌ Wall returned Li Yang a genuine 360-degree turn layup! And it also caused a foul! β
"Wall, this is definitely a nostalgia for Li Yang using his own moves in the first quarter, this ball is facing Harrell's defense, it is too difficult!" Ao Fat gloated and looked at the two who were fighting.
Barkley was also stunned, and laughed when he saw the two No. 1 positions of Wall and Li Yang: "That's right, this ball is more difficult than the 360-degree turn that Li Yang just made, Wall basically completed this action in the case of confrontation with Harrell, this game is really beautiful, and the two of them continued to play on the bar in the second quarter!" β
After Wall made the layup, he got up from the ground, then smiled smugly at Li Yang, walked to the free throw line, and hit the free throw steadily.
"This guy is holding such a grudge, but I suddenly like him a little, literally, don't think crooked." Li Yang chuckled, but he didn't expect Wall to come to such a hand, it was interesting.
There were 17 seconds left until the end of the first half.
Wizards 57:64 Clippers.
For the Clippers, those 17 seconds were also a good opportunity for them to extend the score in one fell swoop.
In order to lay out the offensive tactics in detail, Rivers also asked for a short timeout.
The timeout came back and the game continued.
βLACοΌLACοΌοΌβ Clippers fans throughout the Staples Center arena chanted the home team's name in unison, and the scene was truly shocking.
On the Clippers' side, the player who attacks with the ball is still Li Yang.
Tens of thousands of Clippers fans are focused on Li Yang.
Li Yang slowly dribbled the basketball to the front court, he did not immediately launch an offensive, and he was trying to compress the offensive time as much as possible.
The current lineup of the Wizards is full of players who are good at defense, but Wall did not defend Li Yang this time, but took the initiative to walk in front of Harris.
Wall thinks the Clippers' last offense will be handed over to Harris.
"Defend! Defend! β
"We must guard against the Clippers' offense~"
"God forbid, don't throw in, you can't throw in!!"
"Hold on and don't panic, we'll be able to win!"
In the stands, many Wizards fans who came to watch the game away from home also spared no effort to cheer for the Wizards.
The last 10 seconds of the first half!
7 seconds!!
Li Yang still did not attack.
Brooks was already on the sidelines beckoning his disciple to go for a grab.
4 seconds!
Li Yang finally started.
His body seemed to have become a lightning bolt at this moment!!
Break through to the inside of the Wizards in an instant!
The two Wizards defenders directly started and tried to pull Li Yang to the ground, but when Li Yang rushed up, he was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, and no one could stop him from sprinting with all his might!!
After breaking through to the inside, Li Yang drifted in the air to avoid Porter's long arm interference, and before the final second, he managed to put the ball in the basket.
"Bang!!" The ball in the light is on.
Li Yang hit a half-court whistle dunk!!
The entire Staples Center arena suddenly fell into deathly silence at this moment, and all the fans were like being choked by God's throat, unable to make a single sound, the only sound coming from the Clippers bench.
Alexander screamed, leading a group of bench players, waving towels vigorously.
Gortat was also excited to hug Li Yang, constantly patting Li Yang's head, and Harris also applauded Li Yang from the bottom of his heart.
Although Li Yang didn't shoot much in the second quarter, these few points had a crucial impact on the Clippers.
At 56:66, the Clippers entered the second half with a 10-point lead.
At halftime, many NBA stars retweeted the video of Li Yang's whistle dunk on Twitter.
Curry complained: "Walter! This rookie is not reluctant, I want to be quiet, jealousy makes me separate!! β
Schoolbag Du wore headphones and commented: "Yang's style of play has completely subverted my perception of Chinese players!! β
Thompson: "Bolt Bill Morris Porter, who is this, do I know each other??" Nani, it's three people, oh my God! I must be dreaming!! β
"There is no doubt that Yang will become another Asian basketball superstar after Da Yao!"
"He's an all-round player, assists, scores, and defends! There's nothing Yang can't do!! β
"Yang can have a huge chemistry with the team on the field, which is amazing!!"
Soon, on the domestic forum, Li Yang once again became the talk of the fans, and countless fans began to talk about Li Yang!!
