Chapter 108: Can This Be Covered?
The difference was stretched to 8 points, and Bryant also realized that he couldn't play indiscriminately at this time, and after controlling the ball to half court, he began to call Howard to come forward to block and dismantle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kobe Bryant moved to the right with the ball, and Li Yang was about to bypass the defense from behind Howard, but Howard pouted and delayed Li Yang slightly.
Although Howard's pouting action was not small, the referee didn't blow it, and Li Yang could only take another step to the side to bypass, but in this way, Kobe Bryant had already rushed into the three-point line with the ball.
Split took the initiative to switch Kobe Bryant, but it was obviously difficult for Split to keep up with Kobe's pace, and Bonner on the other side had to move forward to help defend, Kobe did not choose to attack by himself at this time, and distributed the ball to Jamison in the middle distance of the baseline, assisting the latter to hit a two-point shot.
The Spurs continued to attack, and this time, the ball was not handed to Ginobili again, but to Li Yang.
In his own way, Li Yang also chose to let his teammates block and dismantle when he got the ball, but it was Bonner, who was good at shooting, who was blocking and dismantling.
Bonner had an outside shot, which made Jamison dare not stand up at will, seize this opportunity, Li Yang pressed Kobe Bryant and rushed to the basket with the ball.
If Li Yang is allowed to rush to the basket like this, he can go directly to the basket to complete the offense, and Howard is busy moving his feet to block it.
In the face of the double defense, Li Yang did not choose to force the attack, and when he stepped forward to attack, Li Yang quickly distributed the ball into Split's hands.
Howard's return to defense this time was very fast, and after seeing Li Yang's pass, Howard immediately turned back to defend.
"Tick!"
In the face of Howard's defense, Split was unable to score the ball directly, but the result was not bad, resulting in a foul on Howard.
At 27:19, Split hit both free throws, and the margin continued to remain at 8 points.
Split's free throws in the first two seasons were also terrible, but this season, his performance in free throws has improved very significantly, which can also show that Spurs' shooting coach England is indeed very good.
After that, the Lakers' offense did not work, and the first quarter of the game ended, and the difference between the two teams was fixed at 8 points after the first quarter.
The Lakers have fallen behind 1:2, facing the fourth game with hope of equalizing, the Lakers are still behind by 8 points after the first quarter, which undoubtedly makes Lakers fans anxious, after the first quarter of the game, the players of both sides returned to the bench, and on the sidelines, Lakers fans are in a commotion.
After a short break, the players from both sides returned to the court, and at this time, when Kobe Bryant stepped onto the court again, the noise of the Lakers fans finally ended, and they clapped their hands vigorously while shouting into the court.
"Kobe!"
Listening to the excited shouts of the Lakers fans at the scene, Li Yang was also slightly surprised to see Kobe Bryant continue to play, after all, Kobe Bryant stayed on the court for the entire first quarter, and Kobe Bryant only rested for one minute in the last game, almost playing the whole game.
In addition to Kobe Bryant continuing to stay on the court, D'Antoni arranged two more starters to play, Howard and Goodlock were replaced, replaced by Gasol and Ci Shiping, although it was only a transitional period in the first and second quarters of the game, D'Antoni still sent three main players.
It's true that the Lakers don't have any reason to relax right now.
The Spurs, on the other hand, continued the lineup at the end of the first quarter, and only Split started this lineup, because Split had already rested in the middle of the first quarter.
The Spurs took the lead in attacking, the Lakers' defense in this round was not bad, it was Kobe Bryant who defended Ginobili, and Li Yang was also entangled by Ci Shiping, the Spurs did not open the two offensive launch points, and finally Ginobili barely shot, but failed to hit.
The Spurs did not score in the first round of offense, which undoubtedly made Lakers fans breathe a sigh of relief, if the Spurs attack this time, the difference between the two teams will be directly widened to 10 points, and the situation will be even more unfavorable to the Lakers.
The Lakers attacked, Gasol fell to the high post, Kobe Bryant fell to the low post, this is a more commonly used offensive method by the Lakers in the past, using Gasol's deterrence in mid-to-long-range shooting, pulling the interior line empty, and then letting Kobe Bryant fall to the position and give full play to his attack power in the low post.
It is still Li Yang who defends Kobe, his center of gravity is pressed slightly low, and his feet are more wrong, which is to defend Kobe Bryant and use his feet to shake off the defensive attack basket.
Although Kobe's turnaround jumper is also very lethal, it is better to let the opponent jump shot than to let Kobe directly attack the basket.
Feeling the direction and position of the power behind him, Kobe Bryant roughly judged Li Yang's thoughts, and at this time, he didn't try to use the turn and footsteps to attack closer to the basket, dribbling the ball, and he began to play with his back to find the rhythm of the turning and jumper.
"Kobe!"
After discovering that Kobe Bryant was going to play singles, the Staples Arena once again rang out with a uniform cheer.
Blocking all the sounds of the outside world behind his ears, Li Yang pressed tightly behind Kobe, dissolving Kobe's impact force again and again, he must ensure that his center of gravity is relatively centered, so as not to let Kobe get the opportunity to turn around and slip directly into the inner line.
But at the same time, Li Yang also always pays attention to the turn and jump shot that the opponent will launch at any time.
After a few games, Kobe Bryant has more than once turned around and hit a jump shot under Li Yang's defense, and in the face of Kobe's move, usually Li Yang has no way to stop it, but after many contacts, he also began to find some rules.
Li Yang was behind Kobe, silently feeling the change in the opponent's strength, and when he noticed that the frequency of the opponent's force had finally changed, Li Yang immediately roared in his heart:
"It's now!"
Kobe's slight change in strength made Li Yang realize that Kobe was about to turn around and jump shot.
Sure enough, the next moment, Kobe Bryant turned around and jumped, and at the same time, Li Yang, who was originally bent on his knees, swooped into the air.
The jumps of the two were almost in equal order, Li Yang didn't try to lean forward to interfere with Kobe's shot, he just tried his best to go straight up!
"What is he going to do?"
Looking at this scene on the court, a question flashed in the minds of the Lakers fans at the scene, and then they understood.
"Could it be...... He wants to block Kobe's turnaround jumper?
Lakers fans don't believe that Li Yang can block Kobe's turnaround jumper, Kobe's turnaround jumper is with a backlash!
Yes, Li Yang really wants to block Kobe's shot!
Turn around and shoot backwards, such a shot is indeed very difficult to block, but Kobe's shooting arc is low, and Li Yang's preparation, reaction, and bounce are extraordinary, he is not without a chance!
Quickly rushing up, Li Yang's long arms stretched straight, his palms opened, looking at the basketball flying towards his head, his eyes flashed.
"Go down!"
Gritting his teeth and holding his breath, Li Yang roared in his heart, and his palm was lightning towards the basketball that was about to fly over his head.
"Smack"
A small sound came from the contact between the palm of the hand and the basketball, and the touch from the palm of the hand made Li Yang secretly happy in his heart.
There is a cap!
"Wow!"
At this time, seeing that Li Yang on the court really blocked Kobe's turn and back-to-back shot, the scene was in an uproar!
Blocking turns and throws a shot from the back, which requires superhuman reflexes, bounces, height and reach, all of which are indispensable, but now, the yellow-skinned Spurs player has done it, just how good is his physical talent?
When did the yellow race have such excellent physical fitness?
