Chapter 64: You Don't Dare?

At halftime, sitting in the dressing room of the visiting team, Li Yang lowered his head and thought about the past first half of the game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There is no doubt that his performance at the beginning of this game was very good, and Li Yang believes that he perfectly executed Popovich's tactical arrangement, and did a decisive job when attacking the inside line, helping the team to score consecutive points.

But when the Clippers paid attention to strengthening their defense of their breakthrough, Li Yang was not very satisfied with his performance after that.

In the second quarter of the game, Li Yang regained the opportunity to play, but only scored 3 points through rebounds and free throws in more than 7 minutes of playing time.

Although he scored 9 points in half a game, such data is very good for Li Yang's current role in the team, but considering that 6 points were scored at the beginning of the game, Li Yang was not satisfied with his offense after the Clippers strengthened their defense, and the only consolation was that Li Yang thought that his performance on the defensive end was not bad.

"It's still not good!"

Li Yang sighed secretly in his heart, when facing a strong defense, the offense could not be opened, in the final analysis, it was because his offensive ability was not good enough.

After sighing, Li Yang began to think about what he should do in the next half of the game.

Before the end of the 15-minute halftime break, Popovich began to arrange the game in the second half, in the tactical arrangement, Popovich did not deliberately arrange Li Yang to control the ball, but also told Li Yang not to hesitate if he had the opportunity to impact the inside.

This is not out of Li Yang's expectations, if he still arranges to control the ball when his impact on the inside line is obviously blocked, Li Yang really feels strange.

"Audience friends, the second half of the game restarted, in the first half Spurs led by 4 points, Li Yang's performance was good, let's take a look at the performance of both sides in the second half, Spurs took the lead in attacking......"

The Spurs attacked, Li Yang did not deliberately ask for the ball, but the ball came to his hand after a circle.

In the first half, Li Yang's offense was blocked, and Li Yang realized that he should reduce the strong attack with the ball, but this does not mean that Li Yang will not dare to break through with the ball, when the team needs, Li Yang will still use his impact to help the team as much as possible.

Receiving a pass from Parker on the run, Li Yang realized that he had a very good opportunity to get rid of Butler, and after receiving the ball, he made a sharp stop and changed direction to the right, and he dribbled through and rushed into the three-point line.

Li Yang likes to use this move very much in the game, and when combined with his excellent first step, he often throws off the defender in an instant.

At this time, too, Li Yang's change of direction after receiving the ball was beyond Butler's expectations, and when Butler reacted, Li Yang had already used his perverted starting speed to rush into the three-point line.

At this time, Butler was obviously unable to stop Li Yang's impact, so he was busy chasing after him, and in front, Little Jordan had also moved his feet to prepare to make up for the defense.

At Li Yang's speed, Butler didn't stick it at first, and there was almost no chance of sticking it later.

Without Butler's interference, Li Yang was obviously more comfortable in his movements, and he changed direction in the forward rush, Li Yang did not break through along the right side, giving the ball to his left hand, and after rushing out of two steps, he changed direction and rushed to the left.

Although Jordan Jr. was worried that Li Yang would share the ball with Duncan, he was also worried that Li Yang would directly hit the left side for layup, after all, Butler did not follow him to interfere at this time.

After thinking about it for a while, Little Jordan chose to move his steps to the left to make up for Li Yang, after all, Li Yang with the ball is the most lethal player at this time.

"Are you ready to interfere with my attack again? Unfortunately, you were fooled!"

Seeing that Little Jordan had come over, the corners of Li Yang's mouth raised slightly, and what he was waiting for was this moment.

With previous experience, Li Yang also knew that it was not easy to directly attack the basket on Jordan Jr.'s defense if he didn't completely rush up and dunk, so after attracting Jordan Jr.'s defense, he immediately picked up the ball and pushed it to the right side, and on that side, Duncan, who was standing in the middle distance, had followed up and cut into the basket.

After receiving a pass from Li Yang, Duncan came to the basket and took the ball to a simple wipe layup, and he hit two points before Jordan Jr. returned to the defense.

At 50:44, the Spurs extended their lead to six points, and the offensive control was back in the hands of the Clippers.

Paul dribbled the ball, and it was not Parker who defended him but Danny Green, and from the second quarter, Popovich let Green and Parker switch defenses, allowing Green, who was better defensively, to play against Paul, and also to relieve pressure on Parker.

After four years of college training and the progress of the Spurs in the past two seasons, Green's defensive ability has been very good, even Paul is not easy against Green, after almost being cut off by Green, although Paul finally passed the ball out, but at this time there is not much offensive time left, Butler can only face Li Yang's defense and force the shot, and then end up playing iron.

Turning around and taking a step forward, Li Yang snatched the rebound ball that rebounded in this direction, and then rushed towards the front court with the ball himself.

The Clippers' retreat is still not slow, Butler has retreated in place at this time, and Jordan Jr. and others are already moving towards the interior.

"Hey, rookie, come on, break through, rush to the basket. ā€

Watching Li Yang dribble over, Butler immediately opened his mouth to agitate, and with the successful defensive experience of Li Yang in the first half of the game, at this time, the Clippers wished that Li Yang would rush directly into the interior with the ball.

If, like just now, Li Yang breaks through after running and catches the ball, and then splits the ball, it will be more difficult for the Clippers to defend.

After finishing speaking, Butler looked at Li Yang, he knew that such a radical method was not profound, but he also knew that after the average young player heard such a radical, even if he knew that he might encounter a tight defense when rushing into the interior, it would be difficult for them to endure it.

Li Yang could naturally hear that Butler was agitating, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered: "Old guy, do you dare to get closer to me?"

Butler didn't expect that Li Yang was not only not provoked by him, but now he was rejecting himself, which made him wonder a little, are the young players so old now?

And what makes Butler quite speechless is that he can't answer Li Yang's question, because he really doesn't dare to get too close to Li Yang, Li Yang's breakthrough ability He has seen this game, if Li Yang completely breaks through from his side, even if there is little Jordan to make up for the defense, it is very dangerous, such as the previous ball, Li Yang divided the ball to Duncan and scored directly.

"You don't dare, I dare!"

Just when Butler was speechless, he saw Li Yang actually dribble the ball and start to break through.

Butler's eyes widened, angry and happy, angry that since Li Yang had decided to break through, wouldn't the rhetorical question just now be a naked provocation to himself?

Happily, Li Yang was finally stimulated by himself and began to break through, and the defensive strategy in the first half could finally be used again.
