Chapter 293 - Fierce Battle Maverick
As soon as Li Yao's pretense appeared, the entire Staples Center Arena fell into madness again.
"Hey, Paul, I thought that the characters in the movies I filmed were already full of characters, but after watching these two games, I realized that compared to Lee, I still have a big gap!" Fan. Diesel couldn't help but sigh with emotion after seeing Li Yao's actions.
"Anyway, Fan, why do I think I should discuss with Director Lin Yibin and add some scenes to Lee, I feel that just by pretending to be forced, Lee can attract a lot of audiences." Paul. Walker also echoed on the sidelines, and Li Yao's opening show today really made him gain a lot.
However, although Li Yao's pretense made the fans in the Staples Center Arena excited, it made the Mavericks' faces darken.
You said that you are Li Yao, you just pretend to be forced after dunking the basket, but you still pretend to be forced like this, stretching your waist? What do you mean? Don't you need to wake up to beat our Mavericks?
"Lee, this guy is still this character, he hasn't changed at all!" Sean, who is a former teammate of Lee Ya. Marion couldn't help but think back to the days he fought with Lee during his time with the Heat last year.
"Ho, Kenny, look at Lee, he's getting better at pretending to be a bit of a force right now." Barkley, who was sitting on the commentary stage, said excitedly at this time, he didn't expect that after Li Yao communicated with him last night, he would show such a domineering side at the beginning. It seems that the invincible Li Yao is back again.
"Sir Charles, although I have to admit that Lee's performance just now was very good, but wouldn't it be bad for him to do so?" Kenny. Smith said with some concern.
"What's so bad?" Barkley asked, puzzled.
"First of all, the strength of the Mavericks is very strong, and it is obviously irrational to provoke such an opponent, and secondly, the Clippers are back-to-back today, and all aspects of physical fitness are bound to be affected to a certain extent." Kenny. Smith said with some concern.
"Kenny, you're not doing your homework properly, and as a qualified commentator, you don't know that the Mavericks are also back-to-back games?" Barkley caught a rare opportunity like this, but he wouldn't let it go, and he couldn't help but taunt.
"Well, all the audience friends in front of the TV, I'm really sorry, I didn't do my homework properly." Kenny. Smith finally thought about it at this time, just yesterday, at the same Staples Center Arena, the Dallas Mavericks just defeated the defending champion Lakers here, and also gave the defending champion Lakers two consecutive defeats.
"Hehe, so, Kenny, do you still think Lee is doing something bad?" Buckley said shyly.
"Even though both sides are back-to-back, I still don't think Lee's approach is good, after all, the Mavericks beat the Lakers yesterday!" Kenny. In the face of Barkley's provocation, Smith refused to admit defeat easily.
"It's true that the Mavericks beat the Lakers, but, Kenny, don't forget, the Clippers also beat the Lakers in the opener, and compared to yesterday's game between the two sides, the Clippers' main lineup was clocked out in the second half of the third quarter, and the fitness problem didn't exist for them." Barkley pouted.
You must know that after Li Ya and his phone call ended last night, Barkley did his homework for the next games of the Clippers, and also did a little understanding of the opponents of the Clippers in the future.
So I've always been slightly lost to Kenny professionally. Smith's head of Barkley will have the upper hand in today's commentary.
"Okay, I won't argue with you, let's concentrate on explaining the game for the audience and friends." Kenny. Smith also felt that what Barkley said was indeed very reasonable, but he was unwilling to admit defeat directly in front of Barkley, so he directly chose to change the topic.
The generals of the Mavericks here were also stimulated by Li Yao's pretense, although they are all veterans, but it is precisely because they are all veterans that they will feel that Li Yao's actions just now are a provocation to them.
So after the Vericks veterans glanced at each other, they decided to teach Li Yao, a lawless guy, a profound lesson.
Li Yao didn't know that the group of veterans on the other side had already planned to teach him a lesson, and after pretending to be forced, Li Yao directly called the Clippers to start withdrawing.
Wait until Jason. After Kidd controlled the basketball and came to the frontcourt, Li Yao went straight to the top of the defense. Kidd's offensive ability is inferior to several other point guard gurus in the league, but Lee has to be cautious because Jason. Kidd's precise passing was terrifying.
The Mavericks follow their fixed tactics here, and Eric. Dampier dove headlong inside while Dirk. Nowitzki was pulled out to the perimeter for opportunities, while Quinton. Ross and Sean. Marion's two swingmen roamed around the baseline on either side.
The Clippers' defense also had to be pulled apart by the Mavericks' offensive formation.
At this point, Jason. Kidd threw the basketball directly to Dirk on the other side. Nowitzki.
Seeing this, Li Yao secretly screamed that it was not good.
Because the overall defensive formation of the Clippers was pulled apart by the Mavericks, the defense of Dirk. Novitsky's Sergi. Ibaka doesn't have a single Clippers player around him, and he wants to rely on Sergi, who has just played in the NBA. Ibaka went to defend the league's most powerful power forward, Dirk. Nowitzki is clearly unrealistic.
Sure enough, it was not unexpected by Li Yao, Dirk. Nowitzki, after receiving the pass, went straight to Sergi with his back to the single. Ibaka, after slowly pushing two steps inside, Dirk. Nowitzki took advantage of Sergi. Ibaka didn't pay attention to it, and directly turned and threw a backward jumper.
The basketball crossed a high arc and fell steadily into the Clippers' hoop.
Seeing this goal, Li Yao could only shake his head helplessly, not to mention Sergi, who was still a rookie. Ibaka, even the league's top defensive players can't limit Dirk. Nowitzki's step-back jumper of this magnitude.
That's why Dirk. Nowitzki has been able to dominate the NBA for decades with this unique skill, and he knows that before Li Ya's rebirth, the veteran has not retired.
Comforted because he couldn't defend against Dirk. Novitsky and some self-reproachful Sergi. After Ibaka, Li Yao once again beckoned his teammates to cheer up and prepare to continue the next game.
The Clippers' main tactic today is to use Da Yao Waila as the offensive center starting point, and then the three players on the outside are interspersed with the disguised Princeton style of play.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are more straightforward, simple and crude, that is, the crazy use of Dirk. Nowitzki is a strong point to play Sergi. Ibaka's defensive weakness.
All of a sudden, the scores on both sides alternated over time.
Knowing that the game was nearly 7 minutes into play, after an official timeout, the managers of both sides changed their substitute lineups one after another to deal with the next game.
"Kenny, it's bench time for the Clippers again, and guess if the Clippers' bench lineup can continue the strength of the previous few days and be better off the bench against the Mavericks?" Barkley couldn't help but exclaim excitedly when he saw the Clippers' bench players appear.
"I don't think the Clippers' bench can take advantage of the Mavericks' bench, which has Jet Jason. Terry and Jose. Barria's two strong scoring points, I think the next game will be as anxious as before. "Kenny. Smith was completely prepared to go against Barkley today, and even the Clippers bench bandits he had been touting himself chose to ignore them.
"Then we'll see." Buckley is also too lazy to talk to Kenny. Smith is more serious, and his attention is now completely focused on the bench bandits of the Clippers who have just come on the court.
I don't know if it's because of the back-to-back impact, Li Yao obviously felt that his group of bench bandits who had broken out in the previous few games were unprecedentedly strong. Gordon, the Clippers' second-leading scorer, also missed a few open shots.
On the other hand, on the Mavericks' side, it's the complete opposite. Terry even threw in a difficult three-pointer when Jackson had already blocked the defense and couldn't see the basket at all.
Li Yao was also very helpless when he saw this situation, the feeling of this kind of thing was really magical, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
"In that case, let me do it myself." Li Yao, who really couldn't think of any other way, could only choose to stand up and take over the game by himself, otherwise, if it continued like this, the score difference between the two sides would inevitably be completely opened up by the Mavericks.
If the score is pulled away, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to rely on the Clippers' feel today to move back to the score.
However, the best way to catch up with the difference is to defend and counterattack, use your tenacious defense to limit the opponent's attack, and use your own attack to catch up with the difference between the two sides.
Therefore, after scoring a goal, Li Yao directly waved his hand and once again brought the full-court tight defense to this game.
The sudden change of pace on the Clippers' side caught the Mavericks' bench off guard.
Especially Jose. Barria, when he faced Li Yao's defense, he found that his previous invincible speed advantage was less than half advantageous in front of Li Yao.
When he wanted to use the pass to relieve the pressure he was on, he was suddenly started by Li Yao, who suddenly broke the basketball in his hand.
Looking at Li Yao, who ran all the way to his basket, Jose. Baria wanted to chase and defend but found that he couldn't catch up with Li Yao's footsteps at all, so he could only reluctantly give up the pace of catching up, and could only let Li Yao ravage his own basket wantonly.
