Chapter 30: The Tiger Comes Out of the Cage! (1)

Apart from swapping Lee Yang for Leonard and replacing Tony Parker with Nando De Colo, who was recalled from the Development League due to Ginobili's injury, Popovich didn't make any tactical arrangements, either because he thought the previous tactics were executed well, or because he thought the players knew how to hold on to their advantage with such a big lead. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After knowing that it was Li Yang who replaced him on the field, Leonard took the initiative to reach out and high-five Li Yang, but did not speak, as long as he entered the arena, Leonard's words were always very few.

"Come on!"

Still, Li Yang understood what Leonard meant, even though he didn't say it.

Taking a breath, Li Yang suppressed his passion that was almost bursting out of his body and stepped onto the court.

"It seems that Greg Popovich thought the victory was in the bag and he replaced Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard for Nando De Colo and ......"

Bill Rand, the Spurs' home commentator, said this, looked down at the information in his hand, and then continued:

"Li Yang, a player signed by the Spurs from the Austin Bulls on a ten-day contract. ā€

"Hey, Bill, you seem to have forgotten the player's name. ā€

After Bill Rand finished speaking, his partner Sean Elliott immediately teased.

"Yes. Bill Rand shrugged his shoulders and said, "Shaun, you know, the Spurs love to sign players on ten-day contracts, probably every season...... Five, six? It seems like a lot. ā€

"And then, don't leave them behind. Sean Elliott immediately picked it up with a smile.

"Haha, Sean, you got to the most critical point. Bill Rand laughed and continued.

"I think Greg Popovich is experimenting with these people, sorry, I don't mean to disrespect those people, but it seems to be the case. ā€

"Hopefully this lad will stay, he's doing really well with the Austin Bulls. ā€

"Perhaps......"

The margin was so large that the two Spurs commentators began to divert the conversation more from the sidelines, and by this time, the game had already restarted.

The Spurs' side is already close to a pure bench lineup, except for the starting center Split who remains on the court, Li Yang and Stephen Jack, Nando De Colo, and Patrick Mills are all substitutes.

The Bobcats, on their side, sent almost all of their starting lineups, except for letting center Haywood go off the court and replacing him with rookie forward Jeffrey Taylor, the rest of the starters stayed on the court, obviously, although the game seemed to enter garbage time, but Bobcats head coach Mike Dunlap was not willing to give up just like that, maybe he also thought it was a good time to hone the young team, so at this time it was also a big and four small lineup, and all of them were young players.

The Bobcats also showed their young team's daring style and relaunched the offense, Kemba Walker dribbled to the three-point line and gained space with the help of Biyongbo's pick-and-roll, and then hit a direct three-point shot.

The Spurs attacked, and after Mills dribbled the ball to halfcourt, Stephen Jackson immediately took the initiative to get the ball over.

Stephen Jackson hasn't had a good season with the Spurs, as the rise of young forwards on the Spurs such as Leonard and Green, coupled with Ginobili's solid position on the team, Jackson has had to compete with the likes of Gary Neal for a chance to play.

For Stephen Jackson, who has a prominent personality and a bad temper, the weakening of his role in the team undoubtedly makes him extremely unhappy, because the relationship between him and Popovich has begun to become delicate.

Despite Stephen Jackson's repeated requests to add his role to the team, Popovich ignored it, and when the GDP combination is on the court, the tactics are all around them, and even in their absence, Leonard and Danny Green are the preferred options for offensive tactics.

Now that these people were finally out of the court, Jackson immediately began to take the initiative to ask for the ball.

Jackson held the ball, Split stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, Li Yang, Mills and De Colo immediately started running, but Jackson did not mean to pass, with the help of the block and rushed to the three-point line, Jackson broke through against the defender.

Taking a step inside the three-point line on the left side, Li Yang, who stayed in this position, paid attention to the movement of his teammates while preparing to rush to the basket. After Jackson broke inside, Split stayed in the high post, presumably hoping to open up space for Jackson, but then there would be almost no one to fight for rebounds under the basket.

Although there is no one to grab the board under the basket, it also means that there is more room to break through, and at this time, as long as Jackson can break through Jeffrey Taylor's defense, he can get the opportunity to attack the basket directly.

It's a pity that in the face of rookie Taylor's defense, Jackson was not able to break through directly, Jackson is 35 years old after all, and what he is good at is not breaking through but shooting.

Jackson also realized this, so he didn't continue to attack the inside, dribbling a dribble in the process of breaking through and pretending to change direction, and the next moment, Jackson made a pull-up jump shot.

After seeing Jackson's shot, Li Yang, who had already been waiting for the opportunity, immediately started to rush forward and ran to the basket!

Li Yang didn't know if Jackson could shoot, but that didn't prevent him from rushing, what if Jackson couldn't shoot?

Jackson's feint was good, he almost shook Jeffrey Taylor in front of him completely, and if the ball could go in, it would be a very good offense.

It's just that Jackson didn't seem to feel so good at the last shot.

"Bang!" Jackson's shot was a little shorter, and the ball bounced high on the front edge of the basket.

Sure enough, after seeing Jackson's miss, Li Yang, who was running, immediately told himself in his heart that the choice of rushing this time was correct.

Jumping, Li Yang, who rushed forward, jumped high and grabbed the rebounding basketball with both hands!

Near the three-second zone, there were three Bobcats players at this time, and Biyombo, who was defending Split, had already started to move towards the basket with broken steps, and he immediately picked up the pace of movement after Jackson's shot.

Jeffrey Taylor immediately rushed to the basket after finishing his defense against Jackson, and Gilchrist, the top star who was opposite Li Yang, also moved to the inside for the first time to compete for rebounds.

In the subconscious minds of the three Bobcats players, the Spurs players should still be on the perimeter at this time, so the three of them gathered around the basket and thought that the rebound was already in their pocket.

However, at this moment, they suddenly noticed a white figure jumping up in the air, and before they could see who it was, the ball that bounced off the back of the basket had already fallen into his hands.

This person who appeared like a flying immortal outside the sky was naturally Li Yang!

With the help of the momentum to jump, when the basketball just bounced to the highest point and fell, Li Yang had already arrived, raised his hands high, and he grabbed the basketball that was going to bounce back in his hands!

"Frontcourt rebounds, nice rushes!"

"This young man is going to ......"

The two commentators on the Spurs scene shouted almost at the same time, and a scene on the field brought them directly back from the topic of the field.

When everyone was surprised by Li Yang's sudden kill, they immediately found that Li Yang's movements did not stop.

Holding the ball with both hands, Li Yang's body that originally rushed forward just slid forward a little before stopping, as if there was a sudden resistance in front of him to stop in the air at the same time, but the fact is that Li Yang's movements did not stop.

The left hand, which was originally covered with the basketball, was opened, and the ball was changed from grasping the ball with both hands to one hand, and Li Yang grabbed the ball with his right hand and pressed it towards the basket in front of him!

He wants to make up the buckle?

At this time, the people on the scene finally understood what Li Yang wanted to do, but it seemed that the difficulty was too great, forcibly stopping his body in the air to expand the distance between him and the basket, and changing from holding the ball with both hands to one hand!

Can this be successful? This is the sentiment of many people at the scene.

Li Yang quickly told these people the answer, his right hand grabbed the ball and pressed it to the basket while exerting force on his waist and abdomen, his upper body began to lean forward, kicking forward with both feet, as if there was suction on the basket to suck his upper and lower two halves to the basket, but what made people feel incredible was that his waist did not move at all!

Amazing waist and abdominal strength!

The body bent into a curved bow, and the basketball that Li Yang was holding in his right hand had already come to the top of the basket, and with the strength that had already been accumulated, he dunked the ball into the basket heavily!

"Bang!"

"Nice dunk! Ball in! Beautiful dunk!"

Watching Li Yang dunk the ball into the basket, Bill Rand, the commentator on the sidelines, immediately yelled.

"wooo!" and the scene had already been drowned out by exclamations and cheers, and even on the Spurs bench, several players stood up and shouted excitedly.

"Well done, man!"
