Chapter 50: Counterattack!

After Duncan came to the side to block the man, Li Yang immediately dribbled to the right and began to break through. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info In front of Li Yang, Belinelli immediately began to move in the direction of Li Yang's breakthrough, trying to stop directly in front of Li Yang.

Noah, who was originally on the inside, also followed, his defensive position was very outward, almost sticking to Duncan, obviously, Li Yang's several passes just now left a deep impression on Duncan, and at this time he also prevented Li Yang from passing the ball to Duncan.

Duncan has taken the ball in the high post before the Spurs have completed two attacks, especially the ball just now, Duncan took the ball in the high post and shot and scored, and Noah had to beware of Duncan's estimated replay.

"Think I'm going to pass the ball again?"

The reaction of the two players of the Bulls completely fell on Li Yang's eyes, which was also in line with his previous prediction, and he laughed secretly in his heart, and Li Yang began to attack.

The dribble flashed to the right side, and in the face of Belinelli, who was not fully in position, Li Yang dribbled forward and rushed directly to the basket.

Li Yang didn't play his strongest speed, at least Belinelli could keep up completely, Noah moved a little under the basket, saw that this did not continue to move, at this moment, in the minds of the two Bulls players, they still thought that Li Yang was very likely to pass the ball back to Duncan.

And obviously Li Yang wanted this kind of judgment from them, rushing into the three-point line two steps, and at a position close to the three-second zone, Li Yang suddenly accelerated and began his real attack.

Belinelli is an excellent three-point shooter, but he is not very good defensively, especially against strong breakaway players, and he struggles to defend with relatively average physical fitness, and he is facing this situation.

Li Yang's breakthrough, even a defensive player like Leonard, if he is not careful, he may be directly rushed by Li Yang, let alone Belinelli, who is not fully prepared.

Accelerate, after realizing that he had a chance to attack, Li Yang no longer conserved his strength, relying on his excellent explosive power to accelerate instantly, Li Yang rushed out from Belinelli's side!

Li Yang's sudden acceleration made Belinelli, who was still following closely, suddenly realize that what he thought was following Li Yang was just an illusion, and he was caught off guard and was directly left behind by Li Yang without even having any chance to resist.

"Oops, this guy is going to attack on his own. ā€

At this time, Noah, who was still defending Duncan, and Boozer, who was on the other side, found that Li Yang was going to attack the basket, and they secretly said that it was not good, and both of them rushed towards the basket quickly.

However, how can the speed of the two be compared with Li Yang? What's more, the two were originally farther away from the basket.

Rushing out from Belinelli's side, Li Yang stepped on the three-second zone line and jumped up, catching up with the Bulls' two interior players to make up for the defense, grabbing the ball with his right hand and hitting a layup!

"Tick!"

As soon as Li Yang's layup was completed, the referee's whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the Bulls called a timeout. At 41:39, as the Spurs played a wave of 6-0, the difference between the two teams was only 2 points.

"The rotation of defense needs to be quicker, Joaquin, watch out for that guy hitting the inside...... "Just one type of play allowed the Spurs to score six points, which made Bulls head coach Thibodeau unhappy with his players' defense, and the first thing he did when he called a timeout was to emphasize defense.

On the other side, Popovich is also emphasizing defense and making targeted defensive adjustments.

"Young, you and Patrick switch defenses, go to the guy who likes to dunk, Thiago, Tim, the player who keeps up with him when he blocks and pick-and-rolls, and the guy who handles the ball is left to Young. ā€

After emphasizing the defense in the pick-and-roll, Popovich explained to Leonard and Mills respectively, and after completing the defensive setup, he raised his voice slightly.

"Defend against the attacks of those guys, take every opportunity to fight back, and the goal is to ...... Overtake!"

At the end of the timeout, players from both teams returned to the court, with the Bulls taking the lead and Nate Robinson holding the ball to halfcourt before the ball was handed to Rohr Deng.

Against Leonard's defense, Rohr Deng couldn't find an opportunity to attack, and then passed back to Robinson.

Robinson held the ball outside the three-point line, and Boozer also moved from the baseline to the high post at this time, and sure enough, as Popovich expected, after the continuous offensive failure to play, the Bulls began to use the pick-and-roll tactics again.

The Bulls' two interior pick-and-roll styles are different, with Noah being more athletic, allowing him to cut inside and play high-pitch passing. As for Boozer, his mid-range shooting is excellent, and his singles in the low post also have a certain lethality.

This time, it was Boozer who blocked the pick-and-roll, and it was clear that the Bulls were hoping that Boozer would get the opportunity to attack after the cover.

However, the Spurs have long been wary of the Bulls' move, Boozer mentioned blocking and dismantling for Robinson in the high post, and Split also followed, but when Boozer blocked and dismantled, Split did not pay attention to Robinson, and directly followed Boozer, not giving Robinson a chance to share the ball at all.

Split did not interfere with Robinson, and the task of preventing Robinson fell on Li Yang alone, Boozer's blocking and dismantling slightly delayed Li Yang's follow-up, but he was prepared to bypass Boozer's side in time, and when Robinson started to rush forward, Li Yang also had time to stick to the other party.

The footsteps slid, Li Yang and Robinson ran to the basket sideways, Li Yang, as the defender, was passive at this time, it was difficult for him to block Robinson, and even when Robinson began to speed up, it was a little difficult for Li Yang to stick to it, after all, Li Yang was moving sideways, and Robinson was a frontal impact.

The two had rushed to the outside of the three-second zone in the blink of an eye, when Duncan, who was on the baseline, suddenly took a step towards the basket and reached out to sweep the ball that Robinson was dribbling.

Before and after seeing Duncan go up, Robinson immediately picked up the dribbling ball and prepared to distribute it to Noah.

But at this time, Duncan suddenly retreated.

Robinson was obviously unable to pass the ball to Noah at the moment, and the other teammates didn't seem to have too good offensive opportunities.

Attacking, taking another step forward, Robinson jumped up with the ball, flew for a layup, and he really didn't have much choice at this point.

If Robinson had been a little faster before, or had two more steps to strike, he might have been able to shake Li Yang off the sideways, but now ......

Immediately following Robinson's side, after seeing Robinson fly to the basket, Li Yang soared into the air, pounced forward, his long arm poked out, and his giant palm swept towards the basketball in Robinson's hand!

The height difference between the two is too big, Robinson is only 1.7 meters, while Li Yang's height is 2.03 meters, plus the gap in arm span, although Robinson's bounce is excellent, but at this time, he can only be completely shrouded by Li Yang.

"Smack!"

Although Robinson, who was holding the ball, tried hard to dodge and wanted to escape Li Yang's palm, in the end, he could only watch Li Yang's big hand fanning on the basketball!

"Block, Yang, Yang blocked the little potato's layup...... Young got the rebound and fought back!"
