Chapter 281: Eruption in the Second Half
Li Yang scored two consecutive attacks, which rekindled the interest of Gal Forman on the sidelines, and he saw that his team's defensive top was a little embarrassed by Li Yang's attack. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info For this, Gal Forman is not unhappy in the slightest, on the contrary, he is still a little happy in his heart.
Butler's defensive ability has been proven with the Bulls, and Gal Forman doesn't assume that Butler's defensive ability is not good just because he didn't defend Li Yang in those two rounds.
On the contrary, it proves on the other hand that Li Yang is excellent in attack and smart on the court, which is what Gal Forman wants to see, and only such Li Yang bulls are interested.
However, Butler obviously didn't think like this on the field, he was attacked by Li Yang twice in a row, Butler was vigilant in his heart, he realized that he had despised Li Yang before, but also aroused his fighting spirit, even James He can defend very well, Butler doesn't believe that he can't prevent a Li Yang.
So when the Spurs relaunched the offense after the Bulls scored an offense, Butler once again began to follow Li Yang in the backcourt, and this time, Li Yang didn't even have a basketball in his hand.
However, just like Butler plans to keep an eye on Li Yang, Li Yang also plans to continue to attack at this time, who let him start to find the feeling of attacking in this section.
The ball was once again in the hands of Duncan in the high post, and Li Yang also began to run aggressively again, he pocketed from the left three-point line to the outside of the right three-point line, and then began to cut to the basket, because on this side of the baseline, Split was covering.
Li Yang cut in from outside the three-point line to the basket, ran to Split's side, and then when Butler was about to squeeze past Split, Li Yang suddenly stopped and took a step back.
Li Yang's emergency stop and retreat was very, very sudden, coupled with Split's interference, even if Butler's reaction was not slow, he couldn't keep up with it in the first place.
"Huh!" Li Yang, who received Duncan's pass, made a decisive shot and hit a two-point shot.
For three consecutive rounds, Li Yang hit the offense by running without the ball, which made Butler's defense have a feeling of nowhere to focus, the Spurs' tactical coordination literacy is too high, and in many cases his players will also look for offensive opportunities by running without the ball, but the passing link will always be half a beat slower, so Butler can always find opportunities to defend.
But the Spurs are different, as soon as Li Yang has the opportunity, the passes of other Spurs players will arrive immediately, making it difficult for Butler to interfere at the first time, but Li Yang regained his touch after halftime, not only has a violent dunk performance to the basket, but also can hit the outside shot.
After hitting that mid-range shot, he really didn't continue to attack by actively running to catch the ball.
However, on the Spurs' side, Parker and Duncan played a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation to attract the attention of the Bulls' defense, and when Butler was slightly distracted and prepared to assist in defense, Li Yang found another opportunity and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner after receiving a pass from Parker.
In the first half, Li Yang only scored 2 points on 1 of 3 shots, but in this section, Li Yang had already scored 9 points on 4 shots.
With Li Yang's excellent play, the difference between the two teams has become 69:63, and the Spurs' lead has reached 6 points, after all, the Bulls do not have such a high shooting rate as Li Yang.
Gal Forman nodded again and again in this paragraph, Li Yang's ability to grasp offensive opportunities is indeed excellent, and in this paragraph, as long as Butler's defense has a slight hole, Li Yang can immediately score.
Butler also knew this very well, so in the next step, he only did one thing, staring at Li Yang, he followed Li Yang closely, and even gave up helping the team to help the defense, in order to prevent Li Yang from finding an offensive opportunity.
Butler's defensive ability is indeed excellent, and under his close attention, Li Yang did not find an opportunity to attack in the next three rounds.
The rest of the Bulls' players also did a good job of defending this segment, and the Spurs only scored one offense in three rounds, which allowed the Bulls to chase the score to 67:71, with a difference of only 4 points.
It was the Spurs' offense again, and after realizing that it was difficult for him to get offensive opportunities directly through running without the ball, when he came to the half, Li Yang began to take the initiative to ask Mills, who replaced Parker, for the ball.
Seeing Li Yang take the initiative to hold the ball, Butler was not worried, in the first half, he defended Li Yang with the ball very well, in his opinion, Li Yang who ran without the ball was easier to deal with than Li Yang with the ball.
However, Butler didn't expect that Li Yang, who played with a feeling, was much more difficult than Li Yang, who had not found an offensive feeling in the first half of the game.
With the help of a teammate's pick-and-roll, Li Yang rushed into the three-point line, and then pressed Butler to rush to the three-second zone and hit a two-point pullup jump shot from close range.
The continuous offensive play indicates that Li Yang is in excellent offensive state in this period, and once Li Yang finds the offensive state, even if Butler wants to defend it, it is extremely difficult, not to mention that although Li Yang keeps scoring in this section, he plays very smartly and can always find the weak points of the Bulls' defense.
Li Yang, who played smoothly on the offensive end, became more and more aggressive on the defensive end, and in the following round, Li Yang directly stole the horizontal pass of Gongnian, and then counterattacked directly with the ball.
In the past two seasons, it has been proven many times that once Li Yang completes the steal, it is basically difficult for the opponent to defend against it, and this time is no exception, in the face of Li Yang's absolute speed and impact, even Butler can't stop it.
In the forward rush, one shook off Butler, and Li Yang ended the offense with a slam dunk amid the exclamations of the Bulls fans at the scene.
The reason for the exclamation is because even Bulls fans can't resist the charm of Li Yang's dunk.
Li Yang's performance was not over, and then the Bulls' offense missed, and Li Yang rushed inside to grab the rebound and take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Li Yang rushed up, and Butler was helpless to find that he was once again unstoppable, but this section of the offense obviously attracted the attention of the Bulls, and the other Bulls players were busy shrinking their defense after seeing Li Yang rush into the interior.
Then things got simple, and Leonard received an assist from Li Yang and scored a dunk.
After Li Yang then broke through again and caused a foul and hit both free throws, the difference between the two sides was also stretched to double digits.
By the end of the game, the Bulls had not been able to turn the score around.
At the end of the game, the Spurs won the game with a nine-point advantage, while Li Yang, who only had two points in the first half, scored 19 points in the second half, scored 21 points in the game, and had six rebounds and four assists.
Glancing at Li Yang's technical stats, Gal Forman walked towards the visiting dressing room. (To be continued.) )
