Chapter 36: Scoring Too Easily!
Humphries came to the free throw line to prepare for the second free throw, and Li Yang, who had just come on the court, fell on opposite sides of Leonard and Split to grab a rebound together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Who is he?" Seeing an unfamiliar face suddenly appear on the Spurs team, Nets head coach PJ Callesimo pointed to Li Yang on the court, turned his head and asked the assistant coach.
"The Spurs signed a Development League player on a ten-day contract. The assistant coach said to PJ Callesimo after looking at the information in his hand.
The assistant coach didn't say much, and PJ Callesimo didn't ask much, after all, this is the regular season, and the team will not be very well prepared, perhaps the coaching staff of the Nets, the main rotation player, has been studied, and made arrangements before the game, but for a ten-day short-term contract player like Li Yang, they will not pay too much attention.
Humphries hit the first free throw before the timeout, but this timeout clearly disrupted his rhythm and after the second free throw, the ball deflected to the right and bounced off the basket.
The ball landed right on Li Yang's side, jamming the opposing player behind him, and Li Yang took the rebound down.
After getting the ball, he turned his head and found that the players of the Nets had retreated in time at this time, and there was no chance to rush up and launch a counterattack directly.
At this time, the Spurs lineup Split, Li Yang, Leonard, Green, Parker, and the Nets used the starting lineup, Lopez, Humphries, Wallace, Johnson and Williams.
When it came to the half, Li Yang fell directly outside the three-point line, and Humphries had to follow him near the three-point line.
Humphries didn't know anything about Li Yang, and he didn't know what style of player Li Yang was, so after seeing Li Yang standing outside the three-point line, he subconsciously thought that Li Yang was a player who was biased towards the outside, and immediately defended himself.
Parker controlled the ball and came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, Split once again mentioned that the high post was going to block for Parker, and at this time, Li Yang, who was originally standing outside the three-point line on the right side, was running along the three-point line while asking for the ball from Parker.
When he saw Parker about to play a pick-and-roll with Split, Lopez immediately mentioned that he was ready to help defend in the high post, while Humphries took two steps back to the basket and prepared to make up for it.
But at this time, Humphries suddenly found that Li Yang, who was opposite him, took the initiative to catch the ball, and Parker really passed the ball, so he hurriedly rushed out of the three-point line, because he found that if he didn't rush out quickly to defend, Li Yang, who received the ball, would be completely empty outside the three-point line.
Humphries's defensive awareness is good, and his defensive speed is quite fast, but what he never expected was that Li Yang would not choose three-point shooting at all.
After receiving Parker's pass, Li Yang did take the ball and glanced at the basket outside the three-point line, it looked like a shot, but he was just waiting for Humphries to rush forward, and when Humphries rushed to him, Li Yang, who was still pretending to be there, immediately began to break through!
"Smack!"
Smashing the ball on the floor, Li Yang dribbled the ball and rushed to the side, dodged to Humphries's side, and at the same time bent down to accelerate, rushing towards the inside!
Just rushed to Li Yang's side, Humphries was still preparing to defend Li Yang's shot, but the next moment, he suddenly found that the figure in front of him flashed, and then, he found that Li Yang in front of him had disappeared.
"Oops!"
Realizing that he had eaten Li Yang's feint, Humphries was busy turning sideways to defend.
However, what speed is Li Yang? What speed is Humphries?
Although as an inside player, Humphries's movement speed is not too slow, but he is an inside player after all, and his movement speed cannot be compared to Li Yang, let alone in such a misposition.
While dribbling past Humphries, Li Yang continued to rush forward, leaving Humphries directly behind, and then he found ...... It's a smooth road ahead!
In front of Li Yang, there was not a single defender at this time!
Lopez mentioned that the high post was ready to defend Parker's blocking, and at this time he didn't have time to return to the basket to defend, Wallace and Johnson also took care of their opposing players, and did not pay attention to Li Yang, Li Yang not only easily broke Humphries at this time, but also broke through the entire defense of the Nets.
For such an easy-to-reach opportunity, of course Li Yang will not give up, with the ball quickly rushed forward two steps and then jumped up, Yang Yang grabbed the ball with his right hand and quickly chopped down, easily dunking the ball into the basket!
"Bang!"
It wasn't until the sound of the basket that the Nets players realized that the offense was over!
Although they were a little surprised, the Nets players didn't pay much attention to Li Yang's goal, in their opinion, this goal should be a coincidence, so they shifted their minds to their own offense after sending the ball.
Deron Williams dribbled the ball across the half court, and at this time Lopez took the initiative to block and dismantle, but the Nets' blocking and dismantling did not work out, Parker and Split's movement coordinated very well, neither Deron Williams nor Lopez found a direct offensive opportunity.
The pick-and-roll didn't get a chance, and Lopes just fell to the low post to ask for the ball, and then tried to hit Split directly with his back.
However, after several years of growth, Split has changed from the "soft special" in the mouth of Spurs fans to the current "hard special", plus Lopez's strength is not particularly strong, behind Lopez, Split will not give an inch.
After turning around and hooking his hand, realizing that he couldn't push Split, Lopez tried to solve the attack with his better hook, but he was a little far away at this time, and the ball was a little less powerful after the shot.
The ball fell after knocking on the front of the basket, and Li Yang, who had been waiting under the basket for a long time, immediately jumped up and won his second rebound.
Coming to the half again, Li Yang still fell outside the three-point line, but this time, he fell outside the three-point line on the left side.
Parker didn't let Split step forward again, but Split wasn't idle, running to the right 45-degree mid-range.
It's a good position to cover for an outside shooter, and the Nets players immediately thought about it when they saw Split's position, and then they saw that Green was really running.
Green, who was in the bottom left corner, slipped along the baseline to the right, and several Nets players began to pay attention to his movement, given Green's three-point ability.
Off the court, Nets head coach PJ Callesimo looked at the left side of the completely empty half and vaguely felt that something was not right, at this time there was only Li Yang in the entire left half of the Spurs player, thinking of the scene where Li Yang broke through Humphries just now, Callesimo immediately realized what tactics the Spurs were playing, and he was about to shout into the court.
But at this time, Li Yang has already begun to act, and the real tactics of the Spurs in this round are revealed at this moment!
Li Yang lifted it slightly, and Parker also dribbled the ball and moved a step to the left, and the basketball was immediately handed over from Parker's hand to Li Yang's hand.
Catch the ball, break through!
Changing direction while completing the catch, Li Yang, who received Parker's pass from the right hand, smashed the ball to the left side when he broke through!
This time, Humphries was more prepared, but even so, he couldn't stand Li Yang's excellent first step, not to mention that Li Yang had changed direction when he started!
"Whoosh!"
When Li Yang rushed past him again, Humphries still only had time to turn his body sideways, that's all!
"Under the basket, back to defense!"
On the sidelines, Callesimo finally shouted at this time, but he shouted too late, and Lopez, who had his back to the basket, hurriedly turned around after hearing the coach's shout, but he only had time to watch Li Yang's performance.
Breaking through Humphries, Li Yang once again faced the unguarded basket, stepped on the three-second zone line and jumped, Li Yang jumped with the ball in both hands!
The body began to rotate as it rose, and when he curled up and flew to the basket, Li Yang happened to have his back to the basket.
The next moment, the body suddenly opened, Li Yang's hands on his waist quickly pulled to the back of his head, the whole person completely stretched, and his body was full of tension!
Buckle on both hands!
"Bang!" Li Yang smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Wow!"
Clenched his fists, Li Yang roared in his heart, and quickly retreated towards the rear, although he didn't show too much smug expression on his face, but his heart was happy.
Li Yang didn't expect that Popovich was also very familiar with the Chinese Internet -- pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
