Chapter 122: Tianxiu Begins! The air relay that shows until the scalp is numb!!
The camera cuts back to the court in front of you again.
In the next round, the Trail Blazers continued to attack, but the Clippers' defense was good, and McCollum made a three-pointer from a step-back step after a series of changes, but unfortunately couldn't hit it.
Luckily, Nurkic grabbed the rebound and threw his hand out of the three-point line again.
Lillard received the ball again, but when he broke through, he was almost cut off by Li Yang.
"Damien, what are you doing!"
"If you don't want to play seriously, I'll replace you later."
Stotts, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, was angry when he saw Lillard's repeated mistakes.
The game has been going on for a few minutes, and Lillard still hasn't been able to get into the groove, which is very abnormal, and if it were normal, he would definitely be on the rise.
Lillard heard the coach's reprimand, his face was a little ugly, and he accelerated to the right side of the free throw line, and suddenly made a quick stop.
"Bang!!"
Still no, the rebound was taken by Harris.
After Harris grabbed the rebound, he passed to Beverley, and the next moment all the Clippers players rushed to the front court with tacit understanding.
Beverley quickly dribbled the ball past half court and passed to Li Yang again to organize the attack.
Li Yang dribbled to the top of the arc, and Lillard crossed in front of him with a blue face, waving his hands, and defending very hard.
Trail Blazers head coach Stotts on the sidelines looked at Lillard, who was actively defending on the court, and also showed a satisfied look, not in good shape, and his attitude came to make up.
It's been a long time since he's seen Lillard put in such a serious effort on the defensive end, and it seems that Lillard has come to see Li Yang as a guard of the same level as himself.
In this game, Li Yang will encounter Lillard's strict defense, and I don't know what kind of performance Li Yang will have, and how to crack Lillard's far underrated defense.
Li Yang was not in a hurry to attack, and observed the defender Aminu on the weak side at the top of the arc from time to time to glance in his direction, knowing that the opponent would come up at any time to wrap up.
Li Yang was not forced to break through, and immediately called a block, and Harris heard the news and quickly ran out to cooperate with Li Yang.
With the help of Harris's solid cover, Li Yang quickly got rid of Lillard and broke into the interior line, and Aminu, who came to help the defense, quickly blocked the route that Li Yang broke through.
At the same time, Lillard accelerated from the rear to bypass Harris's cover, and once again accelerated to chase after Li Yang, forming a front and rear encirclement with Aminu.
Li Yang quickly responded and passed the ball back to Harris in the high post, who quickly distributed the ball after receiving it.
Gallinari, an unguarded Italian anti-aircraft gun outside the three-point line on the right side, received a strong pass from Harris just right, his hands were as calm as an old driver, and he did not hesitate to rise from the ground and shoot three points from his back.
"Whew!!"
As soon as the shot hits, the basketball falls into the basket accurately!!
9:0。
The Clippers' offensive tactics were very successful, and Gallinari perfectly took on the heavy responsibility of high post playmaking, allowing the Wizards' offense to diversify.
"Shhh The Clippers had a strong start tonight, the game had only been played for 2 and a half minutes, Li Yang had 6 points and 1 assist, while the Trail Blazers did not score a point. ”
"Yang's offensive ability is really good, and he has both offense, defense and passing."
"Damian is completely unprepared to deal with it, judging from the first few rounds, Damian is not Yang's opponent at all!!"
"Hehe, when you turn your head and look, Coach Stotts' face is almost drooping to the ground, and he seems to be about to go crazy."
"Toot!!"
Trail Blazers head coach Stotts couldn't help but immediately call a timeout, and they still haven't scored a point from the start of the game.
At this moment, Stotts held back his anger, came to Lillard's side, and said solemnly.
"Damian, what the hell are you doing, that rookie has just entered the alliance, how powerful can he be."
"You give me a serious point, if you don't play well, you can get down and sit on the cold bench."
Stotts didn't believe that Li Yang was that powerful, he just thought Lillard was letting his guard down.
Lillard's face was even more ugly when he was told by the coach.
Why doesn't he want to defend seriously, it's just that he can't defend at all, Li Yang's skills are too good, but he doesn't say a word now.
"CJ, wait a minute, you can help Damian, don't let Yang break through easily." Stotts said again.
"I see." McCollum nodded expressionlessly.
……
The timeout is over and the game continues.
After the timeout, Lillard finally changed his offensive tactics, and after using the cover, he took advantage of the change of pace in the middle of the march and used a brilliant pass to assist Nurkic with a back-to-back hook shot.
Nurkic is limited by his lack of skills and talent, but he has a very solid basketball foundation.
Nurkic has the height of rice, the arm span of meters, and the weight of 127 kilograms, which makes Nurkic look like a tough man on the court, perhaps because of the fundamental advantage of physique, which makes Nurkic very good on the field.
What's more, Lillard's pass this time was very accurate, and Nurkic was very comfortable receiving the pass, and directly turned around and hooked the ball in.
9:2。
The Trail Blazers finally broke the scoring drought.
The Clippers attack.
This time, Li Yang once again successfully cooperated with Harris to block and break through Lillard's defense and advance to the free throw line with the ball.
Li Yang looked at Aminu, who was quickly changing defenses in front of him, while Lillard blocked Gallinari with his back to him, blocking the route of Li Yang's ground pass to Gallinari.
Li Yang glanced at the two people with a huge difference in height, and saw Gallinari's left finger pointing lightly at the sky, which was self-evident.
Li Yang comprehended, dribbled the ball under his crotch in succession, and made a feint to continue to break through to the left side to attract defenders to the defense.
Aminu was really fooled and hurriedly made a horizontal move to block Li Yang's breakthrough route, but to his surprise, after Li Yang dribbled the ball under his crotch and shook him away, he connected a back dribble again, transferred the ball to his right hand, and then threw the ball directly over the basket.
Aminu didn't know what Li Yang wanted to do, but the pass was too sudden, and when he raised his arms and jumped to intercept, the ball had already flown over his head, and Lillard, as an All-Star point guard, immediately understood the intention of the ball.
But Gallinari behind Lillard was already leaping high, and it was too late to close the coffin.
Under the huge height difference, Lillard symbolically raised his hands and made a gesture of interception in the air, but did not intercept the basketball and stopped a lonely one.
Gallinari received a pass from Li Yang with both hands in the air, and then dunked the ball directly into the basket.
Bang!
The basket let out a loud wail, and Gallinari slapped himself on the chest as he landed, venting his excitement.
Li Yang added another assist.
"Watfack, how can he be this hateful rookie again, how can he assist him so well."
The Trail Blazers fans in the audience shouted angrily that their baskets didn't know how many times they had been abused by this guy.
Although the Trail Blazers broke the scoring drought just now, in the next few minutes, head coach Stotts once again discovered the problem.
The Trail Blazers didn't score many points today, and Lillard, with Li Yang's defense, had a low shooting percentage and had missed three consecutive shots.
And Nurkic on the inside now feels very poor offensively, and can only play on the defensive end, relying on McCollum's strong output alone to stop the bleeding for the team, and it is difficult to support it alone.
It is estimated that sooner or later he will be targeted by the cunning Rivers, not to mention that the Clippers also have a young and energetic strong guy Harrell on the inside, who is not afraid of physical confrontation on the inside.
Sure enough, as Coach Stotts expected, except for McCollum, the other players still seemed to be so cold and never been able to catch up with the score.
And the Clippers, under the leadership of Li Yang, played vigorously and methodically.
Over the next few minutes, Lillard became the backdrop for Liyang's performance.
Li Yang constantly impacted Lillard's defense, although he tried his best to defend every round, but Li Yang's offense was as varied as a kaleidoscope and could not be prevented.
Even if McCollum is ambushed on one side, he is ready to step forward to help defend at any time, it is beyond the reach of the whip.
